Fanfan and Gideon walked along the road where the moon was shining, and as the wind blew gently towards them, it was right for them to go on their way. They were crawling forward like assassins behind the woods on both sides of the road. They left the voice of an angry demon behind them, but they might still be following.
The demons obviously already knew how to see Fan Fan. With the help of the bear’s naked eyes, the demons found him. Only Gideon’s rapid thinking and professional skills saved the boy. "Did you see anything?" Gideon asked Tao, in the past two hours, this question has become his favorite sentence.
"Maybe we should hold hands," Gideon said. Once he made a statement, he felt that he was a complete fool, "I mean, so that we won’t be discovered by the devil."
Fan Fan glanced at the priest. "embarrassment."
"Okay, forget it. I'm an idiot"
Fanfan smiled, "It's not like that, Gideon, I think it only works when I put my hands on someone."
"Oh."
"How long have you been Satan's pastor, Gideon?"
He thought for a while. It seemed that he had been in the temple with Master Isaiah. "About 15 years," he said, "When I was four years old, my parents gave me to the Order of the Phoenix."
"Why are they doing this?" Fan Fan asked.
"Well, my parents have been unable to bear children before. I have a brother who died before me. My parents told me that they had prayed for three years to have a child. They vowed to dedicate their eldest son to Satan and his Servant, I was born in the next harvest season. They were faithful to their vows. At that time, they handed me over to Satan’s pastor. I am very happy to grow up in Order. I have my place in the world. Serve God."
"Do you have any brothers and sisters now?" Fan Fan asked.
"I have three sisters and two brothers, but I rarely see them." If it was daytime, Fan Fan might have noticed that Gideon's expression became sad at that time. "The family got together. , And I serve the temple."
"Does everyone in "Order" fight like you?" Fan Fan asked.
"Yes, we fight in the same way."
"But Mordechai said you were the best, didn't you?" Fan Fan asked.
Gideon was surprised that the boy could hear anything he said to Mordecai. "He did this."
"How about it?"
"What?" Gideon asked.
"Are you really the best?"
"Of course not," Gideon said, how could he not say that? This is something to be proud of. In any case, Gideon knows his own abilities, but his view has always been that there are always better people than you, even if you haven't met them yet.
"I really want to learn how to fight like you," Fan Fan said. "can you teach me?"
Gideon wanted to hear the boy say that, "Fan Fan, honestly, I'm honored to teach you anything I can teach you."
They heard the sound of branches on the left side of the road. Both young men are standing on the steps of Zhōng Yāng. Fear raised its ugly head when they stuttered. They tried to recognize the sound, praying that no sound would be heard again.
The leaves were trampled under their feet somewhere in the dark, and the hair on their necks attracted attention. Gideon imagined another bear, or worse, staring at them from the darkness of the forest—its body was surrounded by a group of greedy evil demons.
It is difficult to determine whether the air of the cold night is rising up with goose meat or just because of the coming bad luck that has attacked their senses.
"It may be a squirrel," Fan Fan whispered.
"night?"
"mouse?"
This time I walked two steps and breathed a burst of air. "Or not a mouse," Fan Fan said reluctantly. "Should we run away?"
This was indeed a good idea. Gideon thought about the same thing, but pride made him stand firmly on the dusty and sunny road. Instead, he put pressure on Fan Fan, and they started walking back, putting things in the woods in front of them. They heard the crackling of tree branches.
Some very large object crushed the last layer of leaves—a huge black object appeared, "Bear!" It was like the beginning of a game. Both young men turned around and tried to force themselves Running on the road.
The thing behind them began to chase, and they heard its heavy footsteps falling on the overcrowded mud behind them—it was accelerating. Then, on the road ahead, another thing rushed through the woods, it stood directly on their road, higher than one person, and then it hissed.
The two young men tried to stop, "a horse," Gideon said. "And it's not an ordinary horse—my horse!"
Whistler was behind them.
"Abigail," Gideon said to his horse, "You almost scared us to death, girl." He patted the spotted mare, and was never happier to see the horse.
Fan Fan grabbed Whistler's rein, doubled it, and took a breath. They looked at each other and started laughing. "Aren't we a pair of fools?" Gideon said, and Fan Fan could only nod his head and try to catch his breath.
"Well, if we need it, this is a blessing from God," Gideon said. He checked Abigail's saddle and found that there was some food left, and the other sword was hidden in a scabbard wrapped in a blanket. He felt relieved, like a fresh stream of water. He felt exhausted, but he was happy to survive.
While Gideon was riding Abigail, Van Fan pulled out some twigs and thorns from Whistler's saddle. "We definitely have a better time now," Gideon said. "Before we encounter something worthy of fear, let us act."
Fan Fan pulled out the last thorn vine and jumped onto Whistler's back. Whistler snorted, and he was glad that his master had returned. The two young men quickly grabbed the reins and set off along the road, hoping that they could reach another town before dawn.
When Fan Fan noticed that dawn was approaching in the east, he saw the tragic situation in a far away town. The boys continued along the road. They saw a sign—Tilly Town. "I understand this town." , At least I know this," Gideon said. "There are many evil things here."
"What kind of evil?" Fan Fan asked.
"In the beginning, the town was thought to be named after Tilly, a woman with a bad reputation," Gideon explained. "She was the mistress of a respected nobleman, when he refused to leave his wife for her. , Shot him to death. This small town was a courtyard at the beginning. At that time, it was just a miner’s camp nearby. From there it began to grow and develop.
"Since then, they have become a den of thieves and wizards. However, the town has expanded to the seaside, and that is where we need to go. I have money, but our food is almost with our drinking water. It’s almost gone. If we can buy tickets to the coast of Emmanuel from a merchant ship, then we can find your sister during the travel time." (to be continued) (end of this chapter)
