I woke up in the darkness. All around me, there was only an oil lamp not far away, emitting a lonely dark yellow light on a wooden table.
"Messiah?" My slight movement to prop up my body disturbed the person next to the recliner, and he immediately came over. In an instant, I smelled the strong smell of sweat and blood coming from his body.
"...Ahem, Darien, it's time for you to take a shower." I wrinkled my face in disgust, "Grizzly bears will turn around and run away if they smell your scent."
The boy in front of me curled up his mouth. He rubbed the top of my head with his huge palm and said softly, "I think we should go together. Uh..." As he said this, he seemed to be aware of the offense and felt awkward. Touched his nose.
I was also a little embarrassed, so I lowered my head and pushed his palm away, and jumped out of the lounge chair. The moment my toes touched the ground, all the bones in my body seemed to make a sound.
After a pause, I carefully twisted my shoulder and then my wrist, and the biting pain disappeared, "Oh...my God..."
With a slight kick on the ground, I jumped up to the wooden table in the corner. With another kick, I turned over and jumped back to Darien's side. I landed accurately and neatly, and the wind caused his messy hair to fly up. .
I couldn't help but want to laugh, I clenched my fist, then loosened it, clenched it, and loosened it again, I kept accelerating, and in the end, the afterimage dragged out by my fingers turned into a daisy.
Oh, I haven't felt this good for a long time since Lordaeron!
"I think I have to thank Ms. Natalie, even if she... uh..."
"We'd better not disturb her rest," Dallion pointed inside and lowered his voice, "She has exhausted her magic and is exhausted."
I secretly glanced through the crack in the door. The fire in the fireplace was bright, and I could clearly see her lying face inward. Under the bed were several conical crystal bottles with the words "Sleeping Potion" in small gold-inlaid letters. ".
"Let's go see Lord Abedis and the others. Maybe we can help them." Dallion whispered in my ear.
I immediately moved a step aside to avoid his warm breath, "You mean...Ricky and the others haven't woken up yet?"
"Yes, the red knights are still setting up the exorcism circle."
"oh."
*
At this moment, the snow has stopped.
Dozens of dark-colored figures holding torches walked back and forth by the house in the center of the farm. They kept changing things and drawing carefully in the pale snow.
But I think what catches the eye more is not them, but a large pile of firewood standing aside. In the center surrounded by the firewood, there are several dark upright wooden stakes with iron chains loosely wrapped around them.
It was obvious that Dallion also saw it. At that moment, his eyes were fixedly looking over there, with an uncertain expression.
Just when I wanted to ask him a few questions, the creaking footsteps suddenly approached from our side, accompanied by the sound of metal collision.
"Dallion!" A voice rang out. This voice was really ugly, even worse than the cry of the swans of Lordamre. However, this did not hinder the deep intimacy revealed in it.
"Uncle Lun!" Dallion also called out to the person. He bowed respectfully to the person. The next second, he was pulled over by a thick arm and received a warm hug. " Good guy! We haven’t seen each other for a long time!”
A knight stood beside them holding a torch. By the light of the fire, I finally saw the man's appearance clearly.
He is a weather-beaten middle-aged man with short gray hair, tall and mighty, and his back is as straight as a javelin.
He was wearing a dark cloak and had a long sword hanging from his waist.
He has a pair of particularly bright eyes, which shine with a cold light all the time.
The groove on his forehead was as deep as a knife carving it.
There are many old scars on the bridge of his nose, the side of his face, and under the corners of his mouth. He looks like a ruthless character.
But now, this ruthless character was looking at Dallion up and down. He seemed to be getting more and more happy as he looked at it, and in the end he couldn't help but grin.
"Look at this arm! Kevin," he smiled and patted Dallion's arm. His force must have been very strong. Dallion's eyebrows trembled when he hit him. However, he did not avoid it after all. Up and down, "So strong!" Lun was satisfied and smiled at the knight with gray hair next to him. "Look at this body again." His hand like an eagle's claw hit Dallion's chest again. "Just like a hill! This is simply made for our Red Swords team!" As he spoke, he raised his head slightly and stared into Dallion's eyes. "When do you plan to report?"
The boy clutched his chest and was obviously stunned, "I didn't... uh, this... my father said that I might have to train in the city defense army for a while first."
"City defense army?" Ren suddenly looked disgusted, "Darian, you also like that shiny armor? Only girls like it!"
"Lun," the knight known as Kevin pressed his eyebrows, "there is nothing wrong with the city defense army."
"...That's right," Lun agreed after thinking about it. The next second, he began to look up and down at Dallion with those cold and dazzling eyes. "You should practice in the city defense army for a while first and make more friends with girls. Do you know?! Create more tall and powerful monsters like you, our Red Sword team needs them! Hahahahaha!" At the end of the sentence, he and Kevin laughed together, making Dallion freeze with laughter. An ice sculpture.
I wanted to laugh too, but I still had a hard time holding it back.
"Look at these shoulders, they are so thick!" Lun was obviously still not satisfied. He pinched the muscles on Dalien's shoulders hard and kept making satisfied noises. "A born conqueror! If you give him a few more years, your father will definitely not be as good as him." You! Just let Bridget follow you first! I think she likes you more!"
oh? That statement made my ears perk up.
Dallian obviously couldn't bear the topic of Len anymore, "Uncle Len! Bridget and Reynold are getting engaged!"
"Isn't it enough to regret the marriage?"
"No!" He refused angrily, and suddenly turned to look at me, "Bridget is definitely going to marry Renault, did you know?!"
I didn't expect that their conversation would affect me, so I was stunned for a moment and said, "Huh?"
"Do you know?!" He grabbed my hand and asked loudly.
I was frightened by the anger on his eyebrows, "I...I know."
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on me, especially Lun's pair of eyes. The cold light in them almost made me jump.
Fortunately, Lun's eyes softened immediately, and he began to look at me with a smile, just like he looked at Dallion with a smile at the beginning. Seeing this, I subconsciously grabbed Dallion's fingers and tried to hide behind him. .
His eyes followed us, flickering across our hands, and then, a knowing smile appeared on his face.
I immediately pushed Dallion away.
"What's your name? Little girl?" He bent down slightly and asked kindly. Where he couldn't see me, I saw Knight Kevin's cheek twitching unnaturally.
After thinking about it, I gave him a lame curtsey, "My name is Messiah, Lord Viscount, my name is Messiah Rubio."
"Rubio?"
"You may not have heard of..."
"Wait, who said I haven't heard of it?" He raised his hand and touched the non-existent beard on his chin, "Let me think about it, his name is..."
"Joffrey Rubio." Kevin reminded from the side.
"Yes! Joffrey Rubio!" Ren's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly. His voice was so loud that my ears started to buzz, "Little girl, who is that to you?" "
"...He is my father."
"Oh! It's your father! That blond beast, muscular and unstoppable! He beat the green one so hard that he broke an arm and a foot! I even invited him to join the Red Sword Team Coming."
"He joined the Red Swords?" I asked curiously, "I never knew!"
Lun waved his hands regretfully, "He refused. In his eyes, the big blonde girl in his hometown is more attractive than Glory! Kevin, have you seen that big beautiful girl? ? That's it..." As he spoke, he raised his hands and made an exaggerated arc in front of his chest. He then turned his hands behind his back and made a motion on his butt, "It's so beautiful."
"Oh," Kevin said clearly, "I know, she is indeed very beautiful. I heard that she gave birth to several children for him."
"However, I heard that the blond beast made another daughter outside..."
"Uncle Lun!" Dallion interrupted with a slight panic. He glanced at me worriedly and held my hand again.
Taking a deep breath of the cold air, I smiled at him, "It's okay, Dallion. If I really cared about this, I would have been heartbroken to death."
If Lun still doesn't know what happened at this time, he is not worthy of being the commander of the Red Swords.
His mouth opened into a "0" shape, but soon, the "0" shape turned into a stiff smile, "Little girl, you are actually much prettier than that blonde girl."
His comfort made my smile stiffen. What did he want to express? !
Kevin looked at me sympathetically on the other end.
"Uh...how old are you?" Lun scratched his cheek awkwardly and asked in turn.
"I'm almost sixteen."
"Oh, sixteen years old, that's great." He nodded with satisfaction, "Marry earlier and feed more children. The kingdom's army needs new blood! Of course, if you don't like the person next to you, I will still I have a little nephew..."
I feel like I've become an ice sculpture too.
"Uncle Lun!" If Dallion hadn't interrupted him loudly, I don't know what other earth-shattering words he would have said.
"Lord Lun!" At that moment, a shout suddenly came from the central hall, "We are ready!"
"Well..." Lun looked at me, maybe noticing my ugly face, he didn't say anything this time, turned around and hurriedly walked over there.
