A tall figure appeared in front of the open door. Mayila ran over and hugged the person, and asked meekly: "Sel, you are back."
Seer looked unhappy and scolded his wife: "Didn't I tell you? Don't speak ill of the king behind his back."
Maira whispered: "Never again."
Seer looked around at the few people sitting around the simple guest table. "Who are they? You actually say this to outsiders."
Hearing his stern tone, Mrs. Mayila was worried that Grayne and others would misunderstand, and said hurriedly: "Don't be like this, Sel. They are friends of Prince Doranhel, and His Highness asked them to come to you."
Sure enough, as soon as Prince Doranhel's name was mentioned, Seer's expression immediately softened a lot.
Glenn couldn't help but nodded secretly. Such a mighty man, if it were not for his sincere loyalty and love, he would never have become cautious upon hearing a name.
He said: "Captain Purcell, Prince Doranhel has a message for you."
Seer walked up to them and looked at Grayn, then at the big Vika and the young woman wearing a hood. Then he nodded and said, "I will faithfully implement whatever His Highness says to me. Before that, please tell me, who are you? Who are you?"
Seer is about forty years old, with a dark complexion and resolute eyes. His long brown hair is braided into several thick braids and hangs down on his shoulders. He is rough and bold. He was tall, comparable to Trinville. His broad shoulders and thick arms seemed to have infinite strength.
This is a man who is as steady as a mountain and worthy of entrusting his life to.
Glenn fell in love with him at first sight. He said: "I am a former squadron leader of the Apodoli Guards - the reason why we are called a former squadron leader is why we came to the Black Forest. It is a long story. I wonder if Mr. Purcell is willing to sit down and listen to us. ?After all, this is your home."
Seer sat down at the table and nodded, "As you said, you are just an ordinary squadron leader, how can you be His Highness's friend?"
Trinville also liked Purcell. In his opinion, seeing Seer was like seeing himself twenty years later.
If Sel's beard was shorter, it would look more like it.
Glenn said: "Before answering your question, I want you to understand our situation first. Not only are the three of us wanted by Apodoli, but after the sun rises today, we have also become Unpopular and unprotected people. I am just an ordinary former Guards squadron leader. Fortunately, I have a good friend like Prince Doranhel, who guided us here. If you didn't tie us all up, Zhu King Sehel and the arrogant and insidious Lord Egil will definitely be unhappy if they find out."
Seer laughed loudly and hit the table hard with both hands: "It is really a wish to make Lord Egil unhappy, to hear you say that. He is a poisonous snake with evil intentions, corroding the king's heart and persecuting the poor Your Highness the Prince. When I think of this, I want to eat him alive."
Mrs. Mayila, who was already busy in the yard, heard the sound of slapping the table, and hurriedly ran to the door to peek. She was relieved when she heard Seer laughing, and continued to dry the washed clothes with a smile on her face. Clothing.
Trinville also laughed loudly: "Mr. Purcell, hearing you say this, we can only ask for it. You don't even know how much your method suits my taste."
Seer glanced at him and said to Gray En: "Prince Doranhel's friend is also Seer's friend. Just stay here with me, no one can hurt you."
Glenn asked: "You don't know what happened, and you trust me so much?"
Seer's face was full of blame. He said: "Only His Highness knows my whereabouts. The fact that you can find me has proven that you are friends of His Highness the Prince. Since His Highness asked you to come to me and give me the opportunity to serve Galadega. Will I let down Is this what His Highness expects from me?"
"Thank you, Mr. Purcell. Now, please listen to me."
From beginning to end, Glenn told Seier in detail how they escaped from Apodoli and came to the Black Forest. Needless to say, there were hardships and hardships along the way. But in the end, King Jussehel refused to believe the news they risked his life to convey. In desperation, Prince Doranhel let them come here to look for him.
After hearing what Gray said, Seer sometimes gritted his teeth and sometimes felt heartbroken. He said bitterly: "Egil, poisonous snake! If I hadn't been afraid of harming His Highness, I would have killed him with an ax. What should I do now?"
He was so angry that he could hardly sit still at the table. After a while, he asked: "So, if you can't protect yourself, what else can you do?"
"Although we are alone and wanted on the mainland, we are not afraid. Since we have nothing to do in the Black Forest, we can only temporarily go to the Holy City to meet with the elders of the Seven Saints. Expose Apodoli's conspiracy to the world. Let more people understand the ambition of King Orzin. For the sake of Apodoli and all the people in the Black Forest who will suffer from the war, we must do this. This is not because a few of us overestimate our capabilities, and we do not want to bear such a heavy burden Responsibility. However, we have no choice."
Seer slapped the wooden table hard with his hand and said loudly: "Yes, you are right. Although our king misunderstood me, although Egil is cunning and cunning. However, Garadega is my motherland, and I I can't sit idly by in my hometown." He stood up suddenly, "No, I can't stay here. I want to go to the royal city, and I want to protect the king and his highness. I must not let Egil and the invasion Those who harm King Jussehel and His Highness the Prince."
He shouted loudly, "Mayila, Mayila, prepare horses and food for me quickly. I want to rush to the royal city immediately."
As if he couldn't wait any longer, he left the guests in the room and ran out, urging Mayila. Lady Mayila and he were talking in a low voice. I saw him shaking his head and nodding again.
"No, no...okay, okay."
Glenn smiled and said to their friends: "Okay, there should be nothing to do with us here. It's time for us to leave now."
Seer walked in again and saw them all standing up. He asked: "Are you ready to go now?"
Green looked at Trinville and Althea, and he said: "Yes, Mr. Purcell. Now that Prince Doranhel's message has been brought, it's time for us to continue on the road. After all, from the Black Forest to the White Dragon The city still has a long, long way to go.”
"That's not okay! You just left like this. How should I explain to His Highness the Prince one day when I see him?"
"Mr. Purcell..."
Seer sighed, but then smiled: "I know that His Highness the Prince understands me. In this way, I am not old enough to be useless. Mr. Glenn, let me tell you this, can you be like me? There are not many people who are equally familiar with the land of Garadega.”
Glenn looked at him in surprise, and Trinville had already asked happily: "Mr. Purcell, are you saying you want to go with us?" Purcell nodded.
"But," Grein said, "you should be in the Royal City of Irina at this time, with the prince of the Black Forest."
Seer suddenly smiled faintly. He said: "I thought so too. It really makes me blush. I don't even know His Highness the Prince as well as my Mayila. Mayila is right, Prince Doranhel is not simply asking you to bring it to me. A message. Yes, he is calling me - he just wants me to be your guide on the land of Garadega, protect you all the way, and send you safely out of our land. This is his original intention .”
Glenn was deeply moved, and he said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Purcell. I still insist that you should return to the prince. Prince Dolanhull is preparing to resist Apodoli's invasion, and there are still people around him. There is Egil with ulterior motives, and he needs your help more than we do."
Seer was displeased. He said: "If you think you can get out of the mountains and forests of Garadega by relying on your own ability, can you refuse Sel? Do you think that one day when I see His Highness, if he asks me, 'Ser, I Have you done everything I asked you to do?’ But am I speechless?”
"But, Mr. Purcell..."
Mayila came over. She looked at everyone and said softly: "You don't have to say anything. Sel knows what to do." She walked into a small room, and after a while, she slowly walked away from the room. He came out, holding a pair of shining armor in his hands. Seer's eyes sparkled.
She said calmly: "Sit beside me, my warrior."
Seer's eyes also became soft and quiet. He sat on the wooden chair, and Mayila walked behind him, put the armor on him, and then smoothed his hair. She gently combed her hair with a wooden comb, then slowly braided it again and stroked it. The sunlight from the open door shone on her body, giving her a golden color.
Both Althea and Trinville couldn't help but be moved by it, Althea's eyes were moist.
Mrs. Mayila looked up and smiled, and said: "This day has come. Sel, go, His Highness is calling you. Complete Prince Doranhel's instructions and return to His Highness. Go, The king needs you, Galadega needs you. But don’t forget, I will always be here waiting for you. My Sel, you must come back well."
Seer hugged her tightly and gently stroked her long hair with his cheek.
They also stood aside quietly, for fear of disturbing them who were inseparable.
Mayila smiled and pushed Sel's broad shoulders: "Sel, it's time for you to go." She smiled. However, she cried.
Seer couldn't bear to look at her. He let go of his hand, turned around and said, "Kings, are you ready? Don't forget, there is still a long way to go from Garadega to White Dragon City!"
Trinville's eyes were wet, and he said loudly: "Great, let's go. Mr. Purcell, great."
Until Mrs. Mayila could no longer be seen, and the small village disappeared from their sight. Purcell carried a big ax on his shoulder and walked in the front with his head held high. He was majestic and generous.
Seer is taciturn, but the best guide. He was better than Glenn at finding unknown paths in dense forests and wading through fast-flowing rivers from the shallowest tidal flats.
Of course it will be. After all, this is the Black Forest, his hometown and motherland.
With Seer, they didn't just travel faster. And Seer makes them feel great. They felt that with Seer walking beside them, all dangers were away.
His tall body and that shiny ax will make anyone who tries to offend them think twice.
Trinville liked Purcell too much. Even the arrogant and arrogant Hercules Turai can win the favor of the big giant, let alone Seer, who is as tall as a mountain and as deep as the sea. The big ax on his shoulder made even the giant Trinville feel his breath blocked and uneasy when he looked at it. Not to mention that Seer was taller than him and his arms were thicker.
Along the way he kept talking to Sel. Purcell simply answered, "Yes" or "No." But Trinville still followed him with a smile on his face. Purcell's cold face and indifferent tone could never erase the love and respect he had for a warrior in his heart.
Night gradually enveloped the wilderness, and the forests, mountains, and lakes all disappeared in the afterglow. They set up camp next to a small lake.
The fire was burning brightly, making their faces glow red.
Glenn handed a piece of black bread to Seer, and he took it and ate it silently. Althea handed him a glass of water, and he nodded in greeting but did not speak.
Trinville took a bite of bread and asked vaguely: "Mr. Purcell, when can we leave the Black Forest Country?"
"It's better never to go out," Seer replied coldly.
Trinville was not embarrassed by his indifference at all. He asked exaggeratedly but doubtfully: "Why do you say that?"
His questions are also ones that others want to know. Seer said: "Before that, I still have the opportunity to advise you. You have no idea what you have chosen."
"Is it really that scary?" Trinville asked with a smile.
Seer glanced at him, "When you get out of this land, what you will face is as comfortable and nostalgic as an invitation to a banquet compared to the dragnet set by King Apodoli and his soldiers. No one knows Whatever happens, can happen.”
"Mr. Purcell, that would be great! Listening to you say that, it's like it was specially prepared to welcome the big man Vika." Trinville said with a smile.
Seer glanced at him, then lowered his head and gnawed the dry bread silently.
Glenn smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Purcell, for your kind reminder. However, we will not look back just because of fear. No matter what kind of danger, nothing can stop us from going forward."
Seer said nothing more. When Althea handed him another piece of bread, he looked up and saw the woman who had been silent. She has a beautiful face and a quiet posture, like the crescent moon hanging on the hill, quiet and peaceful. He whispered, "Thank you."
Under the moonlight, the sky is clear and silvery.
On the lake, the breeze is gentle and the water waves are swaying.
This is a rare night of leisure and comfort for a traveler evading pursuit.
The fire illuminated their faces without any ominous shadow, but Grayn drew his long sword from his waist.
If his behavior was not abnormal, he must have discovered danger. Trinville stood up and took his spear from his horse.
Seer and Althea remained motionless.
Trinville asked in a low voice: "Grain, what did you find?"
Glenn said nothing. Trinville watched intently, but still didn't see anything that would make Grein draw his sword. He muttered: "What are you doing?"
Glenn patted his arm gently, "Look." His voice was low, as if he was afraid of disturbing the creatures in the dark night.
There was no need for Grein to remind him, he had already seen it.
Under the night, in the jungle, shadows swayed. One after another, they swayed between the grass and trees.
Trinville tried not to cry out. He pinched his thigh hard with his hand, but the force was too hard, and he almost screamed.
"What's that?" he asked cautiously.
He had recovered from his initial shock. His voice was trembling, but it was because of excitement. Just for this magical moment in front of him, he had no regrets about suffering so much.
What would it be without a delicious dark beer, and nothing without the good-natured teasing of those friends. Even the turbulent days of Apodoli's hunter were far from enough to make his voice tremble.
He gripped the spear tighter. But Glenn breathed a sigh of relief. He put his sword into its sheath and returned to the fire to sit next to Althea. Althea handed him a glass of water and he drank it in one gulp.
Grein's actions gave Trinville a lot of encouragement and confidence. He kept looking back, still wanting to know more. He also sat down and asked in a low voice: "Grain, what is that?"
Glenn said calmly: "Ghost."
"Ghost?" This was the first time Trinville heard it, but he still found it unbelievable. "Are they dangerous?"
Purcell said aside: "It seems you don't know what the real dangers are. Only people with good hearts can see them. They are harmless to good people-for example, people like Mr. Trinville. Of course. , this does not mean that they like people. The greedy, stingy, hypocritical and treacherous people have been praying that they will never be entangled with them. Although they cannot see it, they are suffering in their hearts. Give them the softest pillow, We can’t even imagine having a peaceful sleep. And as long as we sit here and ignore them, nothing will happen.”
Trinville clicked his tongue. Glenn inserted his sword into the soil, "Rest. Tonight, the sword is the best sentinel."
The firelight traveled on the sword. The sword turned into a swimming fire snake.
