Mrs. Les Rui and Althea came in another pony carriage. Trinville also arrived at the same time as them, which made Grayn breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, what could make him feel more at ease than having a loyal friend by his side.
There was no more time to express the inseparability between mother and son. Mrs. Lei Sirui hugged her son tightly and cried sadly. Glenn could not comfort his mother. His eyes were filled with tears, and his throat was choked with sadness, leaving him speechless.
Trinville has always stood aside. Whether he wanted to or not, he was the only one who could comfort them now. But he would rather go to hard labor than face such a life and death separation.
He said: "Aunt Lei Sirui, you must let Grayen go now. He must arrive at a hidden place before dawn, where the king cannot find him. Have you forgotten what Her Majesty the Queen said?"
Mrs. Lei Sirui was reluctant to leave. She barely wiped away her tears: "Go, my son. You must take care of yourself."
"I promise you, mother. We will come back soon. At that time, I will not leave you again." He said to Althea again,
"I'm sorry, Althea. But the current matter has obviously involved you. You will walk out of the warm and peaceful house and walk on a road that you can't see where it will lead. I can't predict what will happen next. What will happen, we don’t know how many difficulties and obstacles are waiting for us ahead. So, I am really sorry. But I promised Mr. Astral that I will ensure your safety. Are you willing to follow me? "
Althea's eyes shone with joy that could not be concealed by the night. That joy was seeing his peace and her infinite trust in him. She nodded vigorously, as if to say: "Take me away, I am not afraid of any danger. I am willing to follow you anywhere."
Glenn felt some comfort. There must be a separation. They must walk as much distance as possible in the limited time before dawn to get further away from the King of Babklei and find a safe place as soon as possible.
Mother and son hugged each other and said goodbye in tears. Glenn and Althea rode on the horses that Trinville had prepared in advance. He told Grain that the two horses had also been prepared for them by the Queen. The queen went to great lengths to ensure that they could leave safely.
When Green saw Trinville also getting on his horse, he said: "Trinville, you don't have to send us off anymore. Please send my mother back. We are also here to say goodbye, and I ask you to accompany me on the days when I leave. , can take care of my mother for me."
But Trinville said: "I'm sorry, Glenn. I can't fulfill your request."
Glenn looked at him in surprise, Trinville's eyes flashed with passion.
"Yes, Glenn, my friend. I'm sorry, I can't take care of Aunt Lesrui for you. And I'm not here to see you off. Don't you see? I can't even take care of my old Thorpe Brought. Have you forgotten? I will always fight by your side, accompany you, follow you, and protect you. No matter where you go, you will never get rid of the big Vika. I swore to you .”
Glenn looked at him gratefully: "Trinville, you have thought about how many unseen dangers we face. The king will not give up. I can't let my friends be implicated because of me. That way It would make me feel guilty and unbearable. So I cannot agree to your request."
"You are a selfish person, Glenn. You only think that I will be in danger because of you, so you will have an uneasy conscience and refuse me to follow you. But have you ever thought about leaving me alone in Abo? Dolly, would I feel uneasy if you stay in the King of Barbuckle and let you face all the dangers alone? I am serious. Besides, you also know that I have always dreamed of living a real life. "I just want to find an opportunity to realize my dream of a hunter's life. I think that day may have come," he said easily.
There was a surge of heat in Glenn's heart. He knew that he would face countless dangers and obstacles during the journey, and he also longed for the help of friends in his heart.
And the mother also strongly agreed. She held their hands and said: "Let Trinville go. You are all my good children. With Trinville by your side, you will take care of each other along the way, so I have nothing to worry about." That’s it.”
Glenn looked at Althea, and she was looking at him with eager and expectant eyes.
Glenn laughed loudly, and his laughter floated in the moonlit night sky.
There wasn't that much time to argue. Glenn said loudly: "Okay, Trinville. This is exactly what I have been thinking but dare not say to you. With you, I will not take any danger seriously. Let us do it again Fight side by side, let’s set off.”
Glenn held back his tears and refused to look back at his mother's figure, which was becoming increasingly blurry in the moonlight. The three of them galloped towards the south.
The moonlight is like water, and the breeze is cool.
Trinville loved galloping on bright nights. Anyway, he didn't have to think about where to go. He believed that Grein would lead him on the right path.
He has always wanted to be a real bounty hunter like Glenn. Traveling around the continent, hoeing the strong, supporting the weak, and eradicating injustice. He suppressed his impulse more than once, just because he couldn't bear to part with Blueberry Daddy's beer and friends. So he never really made up his mind.
Being a happy blacksmith, he will still have Babcole's friends. Like his father, he will leave a good name that is praised by others. As technology improves, there will be more and more customers. Maybe there will always be enough money in his hand so that he doesn't have to worry about Daddy Blueberry's pursuit, and there will always be a seat he likes in the tavern. His only worry was that the wine that was too easy to drink was not as sweet as the one that had gone through so much trouble to get it into his mouth.
It turns out that happiness is so simple. That is - do what you like! No matter how small or inconspicuous it is, for all those who love it, the greatest meaning it has is the source of happiness!
Could this be a reason for him to finally become a hunter? Is it really what he pursues to become "Barbocle's greatest hunter" as his friends call him, to become famous all over the world, and to bring glory and money?
Give up a stable life and embark on the unexpected road of recovery. Eating in the wind and drinking in the dew is a no-brainer. Faced with a fierce and stubborn person, he drew his sword in anger. Freedom is his yearning, hardship is his choice. The perseverance he believes in will also make him confused.
This time it was different. He had already thought that if Grein left, he would follow in Grein's footsteps.
it's good now. Grain was forced by the king to leave Boapodoli, and this dream that had been hidden in his heart for a long time finally came true.
Trinville doesn't care how many dangers he will face. He thought that as long as he saw Glenn's calm face, there was nothing to be afraid of. He will always be by Gray's side to protect him and be his most loyal friend and guardian. Anyone who dares to harm Grayn will first accept the challenge of the spear in his hand.
The road was so quiet, only the sound of galloping horse hooves could be heard.
There is a bright moon in the night sky, full of clear glory. This kind of night is suitable for traveling. Don't worry about running into pedestrians and stage cars. After all, they were fugitives from the moment they escaped from the prison in Babuklai King's City. All with caution of course.
Glenn has been leading the way, followed closely by Althea. It's hard to tell that such a weak lady is like a battle-hardened warrior, skillfully controlling a galloping horse with all four hooves spread.
Trinville, who was following her, couldn't help but praise her in his heart. Not bad, he thought! His old Sorby did not disappoint him. It galloped with all its energy.
That's it for Glenn. If Miss Althea is left behind, that would be a serious matter.
Glenn in front slowed down the reins, and both Trinville and Althea caught up.
Glenn looked at them and said: "We have already left the royal city for a while. We don't know how long it will be like tonight. We must take care of the horses. Besides, we can't keep running like this."
Looking at the white mist and wet sweat coming out of the horse's muzzle, Trinville also agreed to slow down and walk slowly.
He said: "What a great idea, Glenn! I would rather regard this trip under the moon as a journey rather than a simple escape. Otherwise, when I think of how I once galloped under such a beautiful moonlight, it was just for the sake of Escape for one’s life would be too disgraceful.”
Glenn smiled slightly. Trinville guessed what he was thinking, but didn't say it clearly. He found a good reason for walking slowly, just so that one day he would not look so embarrassed when talking about tonight's experience.
honestly. Even if the two of them could care less about being on horseback all night. However, there is also a weak Miss Althea.
The moonlight was bright, and the cold night air gradually became blurred with the moist mist. They only wrapped their clothes tightly to resist the chill brought by the fog.
Glenn looked at Althea worriedly. But Althea gave him a brave smile.
They continued to run south. Before daylight dawned, Grein led them in an easterly direction. They all felt tired after running around all night. Fortunately, the sun would rise soon and it would be warmer.
Soon there will be more pedestrians on the road. Although this will not immediately expose their whereabouts, they still feel that they should be cautious. They left the road and marched over the bare land after the harvest. There are no farmers working there and there are very few pedestrians.
The sun came out and Althea, despite trying to show that she was not affected in any way, was able to keep going. But both of them could see that she just didn't want them to worry.
Staying for a little longer now means there is more danger. Blindly fleeing further and further away may not necessarily be safe. There are more and more pedestrians on the road during the day, and their whereabouts will be easier to detect.
Sunshine is the warmest travel companion that every traveler longs for. But they want to hide their whereabouts under the sun.
Green and Trinville's eyes met, and they both understood what the other was thinking.
If the king finds out that Grain has escaped from the cage, he will not give up. Queen Eleanoa had already said that the king would find out that he had escaped at dawn. The kingdom's pursuers may now be chasing them on every road.
Now that both of them want to get together, they must first find a temporary hiding place. What's more, after running around all night, Miss Althea was already holding on.
They turned to a more secluded spot. In front of them was a vast plain, with dense woods on a low hill in the distance. Grain and Trinville chose it there by chance. The flat land had been cleared after harvesting, and only a few sparse trees were seen along the way, standing there alone, looking dull and lonely.
They whipped their horses and whips and rushed up the mountain ridge. The trees were not as dense as those seen in the distance, but enough to obscure their tracks. Their good fortune didn't stop there. They found a dilapidated thatched hut that had long been abandoned. Apparently it had been a temporary shelter for rangers, farmers or others, but it had been unoccupied for a long time and the roof had collapsed. Such desolation and dilapidation made them feel much more relaxed.
Althea wanted them to rest first. Trinville said: "Miss Alsia, we can only rest for a short while. If you keep pushing back and forth, none of us will be able to rest." Sleeping alone on the thatch pile.
Green and Trinville stood under the tree, having not closed their eyes all night. At this time, their eyes were stung by the brighter and brighter sunlight. They agreed that no one could fall asleep at the same time. Although this place is far away from the main road, there is no sign that the people sent by the king will find it soon, so it is better to be careful.
Trinville insisted that Grayne should go to rest first. Grayne did not argue too much with him. He told Trinville that he must wake him up in time if he found anything suspicious. If everything is normal, two people taking turns to take breaks can ensure that everyone recovers.
Glenn lay down on the dry thatch and soon fell asleep. Trinville opened his eyes warily. On the hills, thanks to these trees, even if sporadic pedestrians appear in the distance, they will be immediately spotted by Trinville, who is overlooking the mountain. But it was completely impossible for them to discover Trinville.
Trinville is proud of what he is doing. He felt like a real hunter, a hunter like Glenn. I felt a little better just now, and then I felt a little depressed again.
Where can any hunter be so evasive as to be hunted by others?
After a while, he became happy again. He understood how dangerous their situation was now. The king's pursuers may be trying to find their traces on the road that they can't see. Of course, they won't find it so quickly.
Trinville still enjoys this feeling of being chased. In the past, he was the only one who was full of energy in hunting down gangsters. Not to mention those who are chasing them, but with a "hum", the entire continent will be covered by thunder, making those who are called "kings" with him feel ashamed, the most powerful king of Apodoli.
Being an opponent of such a powerful and terrifying enemy and being chased by him must be full of excitement and fun.
When he thought of this, if he hadn't been worried about waking up the two sleeping people and letting them peek into his mind, he would have laughed out loud.
The sunshine has long since washed away the cold air. Glenn was already awake. He looked at Trinville first. He was still looking at the empty land around him with vigilance.
Glenn smiled and shook his head. He can safely leave anything to his good friends. He listened intently, but Althea seemed not to wake up yet. He stood up and walked to Trinville's side.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned to look at him, just like he did in the Guards camp, and said with a smile: "Captain Grayne, everything is safe here, there is no problem. You can sleep a little longer, just Just like you would in your own home, in the comfort and warmth of your bed.”
Glenn also smiled and said: "You forgot, I am no longer your captain. Okay, now it's your turn to rest."
Trinville stared forward again: "I don't need to rest at all. Glenn, I..."
Green waved his hand and said with a smile: "Trinville, you must go to rest now. After last night's running, you are also very tired. No one can do better than you. Now, from your post Come down and find a place you think is comfortable to sleep for a while. I just want to use this time to think about the next thing."
So Trinville no longer persisted. He walked to a thick pile of thatch under the wall, plunged in and started snoring.
Seeing Trinville sleeping soundly, Green felt both relieved and guilty. Then, his eyes became serious. From yesterday's sudden escape to now, he hasn't had time to think carefully about where to go next.
The peaceful land in front of us will become a battlefield filled with wars in the near future. Countless soldiers and horses galloped back and forth to fight. He seemed to have seen it all. It was Queen Elenoa who saved him, and even if it was just to repay the queen's kindness, he would try to prevent that scene from happening.
The most urgent task is to rush to the country of the Black Forest immediately and meet King Jussehel. Once the Black Forest is fully prepared, the king may be able to retreat and temporarily resolve this disaster of weapons. This is the most ideal result.
But he also knew that it was difficult to do. However, even if the king insists on having his own way, Black Forest can minimize their losses by taking precautions.
Grein knew that. If a miracle hadn't happened, it would have been extremely difficult for the Black Forest Country to resist a sudden attack by the Guards. The king may also have foreseen that he would go straight to the country of the Black Forest and would block him on his way to the royal city of Irina. The fatigue of traveling along the way is nothing compared to the dangers that may be encountered in the future.
The king's wisdom cannot be underestimated. He would surely guess where he was going. If they go directly to the east, they will not be attacked by the kingdom's elite troops for the time being, and they are currently the safest. But that way is a long way from the Black Forest Country, and it will take more time.
The road to the south is relatively short, but many places are densely populated villages. There is no cover in the vast plain land. A few lonely travelers would soon be discovered, and then they would be endlessly pursued by the Apodoli cavalry.
He was not sure whether he could escape from the border between Apodoli and the Black Forest before being caught. There are only three of them, but they are going to fight against the entire kingdom.
Besides, the three of them were very reluctant. Miss Althea cannot be called a warrior at all.
To the southwest, before the pursuers found them, they walked through the steep mountains and entered the country of the black forest, which seemed more dangerous.
Glenn already had a plan in mind. The border area between Apodoli and the Black Forest stretches across high mountains, and the mountains are covered with forests that have been densely covered since the barbaric era. Those deep mountains and forests are ruled by a mysterious force, and there are terrible legends everywhere. Coupled with the year-round fog and ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, no one dares to pass through there.
But Glenn is not afraid of this. He knows many unknown places on the continent. Where are roads hidden under the weeds; where are terrifying water monsters lurking in rivers; and where are safe crossings. As for which forests are absolutely forbidden to enter, and which deep mountains contain ancient races that may become friends of mankind. All of this was clearly remembered in his mind.
These places he knew well included the deep mountains and forests he planned to cross, which were regarded as forbidden areas by those who did not know. Although the place was full of unknown dangers, at the moment he felt that the ferocious beasts and poisonous insects he was about to face might seem more calm compared to the king's sturdy cavalry.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Even he himself didn't believe it if those monsters were easier to deal with than the kingdom's cavalry.
Even though some monsters have never been seen by Mr. Astral, just guessing from distant legends is already terrifying. But Grain would rather run into those fearful monsters head-on than fight with the kingdom's cavalry.
Apodoli's soldiers, like him, all come from the same motherland, and some of them are comrades in the Guards who share life and death together.
He secretly made up his mind. He would never conflict with Apodoli's soldiers unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, whether the oath can truly be kept by him is not something he can decide alone.
Trinville and Althea were more precious to him than life. For them, he will protect them at any cost, even if it goes against his original intention!
He sighed deeply. He no longer has control over his own destiny. Otherwise, how could he have fled to the end of the world on a cold moonlit night.
