The night is fading quietly, and finally it is like a layer of tulle hanging around the fields. When this layer of tulle falls, day will come.
In the sky, a huge black shadow passed by, flying quickly, occasionally waving its wings and adjusting its altitude - it was Gregory.
Even in dragon form at this time, Gregory could not hide his fatigue and haggardness. He had been looking for and avoiding something, especially in the recent period, because of some premonition, the progress has been greatly accelerated.
But no matter how hard he tried, he found that it was all in vain. An invisible rope seemed to have been wrapped around his neck, tightening little by little, trying to suffocate him to death.
"Puttaptapt..."
Waving his wings, he slowly descended and looked into the distance. Gregory knew that there was a hill there, and there was a black castle on the hill. In the castle lived his daughter and a human boy named Richard. Thinking about this, Gregory felt a little disturbed in his heart.
For a moment, he seemed to sense something suddenly. He raised his head suddenly and looked in a certain direction in the darkness. His body stopped in mid-air, as if he was shaking a little.
A premonition of danger grew stronger.
For a moment, Gregory really wanted to turn around and run away, but in the end he suppressed this impulse and waved his wings again, continuously descending in altitude, skimming the ground at a faster speed and flying towards the hill.
…
At the same time, in a corner of Mansman Island, a wizard covered in a black robe was walking quickly.
The black robe covered his body and face, making him almost blend into the dim night, passing over the ground like a ghost.
Occasionally, he would stop, as if feeling something. One hand stretched out his hood and slowly turned a black iron ring on his index finger. After confirming something for a moment, he started again, passing over the ground at a faster speed, slightly heading in a certain direction.
…
early morning.
Richard walked out of the castle and took a look at the sky. He found that it was gray and it looked like it might snow.
This is not good news.
He wanted to leave, but there would always be some trouble if he encountered heavy snow along the way.
Thinking like this, Richard felt a gaze coming from the side. He turned around and found that Pandora had gotten up at some point and was standing in the open space of the castle, looking straight at him.
Wherever he moved, his eyes followed him. Pandora didn't say anything, and just kept staring "viciously".
Richard couldn't help but smile bitterly: The other party wouldn't think that he wouldn't leave like this, right
Isn't this too naive
No matter what, I always have to leave.
Even if a huge blizzard is about to fall today, which really stops me from walking, I still have to leave when the snow melts.
It can't be snowing all the time in the entire forest, right
If this is really the case, then I really want to study the weather mechanism.
Thinking like this, Richard heard a "pop, pop, pop" sound. When he heard the sound, he went out and saw Gregory, who had been away for many days, flying back.
What was a little different from before was that Gregory's appearance this time was that he couldn't hide his anxiety and that he was impatient.
What's happening here
"Puttaptapt..."
Gregory landed in a hurry, without even changing his human form, and directly hummed: "Richard, get on my back."
"Huh?" Richard raised his eyebrows slightly, "What are you doing?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm in a hurry. Come on my back first." Gregory said without explanation.
Richard frowned, thought for a while, and walked up to Gregory's back. Although he didn't have much contact with Gregory, Richard knew that Gregory was not bad in nature and would not be detrimental to him.
As soon as Richard got on Gregory's back, Gregory turned to Pandora and shouted: "My good daughter, Pandora, get on my back too."
"Scared?" Pandora asked, why
"You'll know when you get there." Gregory said.
Pandora frowned, but finally came forward.
As soon as Pandora came up, Gregory shouted "Sit tight", flapped his wings and immediately took off into the air, flying quickly towards the distance.
Or... run away
Richard frowned and looked at Gregory in flight, somewhat puzzled by his behavior. But he didn't ask why, because Richard knew that Gregory would eventually give an explanation.
"Puttaptapt..."
Gregory flew very fast, flying more than ten miles in a short time, and then descended like a dive, landing in a clearing in the forest, knocking down several trees in a row and stopping. Then he shook his body slightly and motioned for Richard and Pandora to come down the back.
Richard and Pandora jumped down.
As soon as he landed, Richard heard Gregory buzzing: "Richard, haven't you been saying that you want to leave a long time ago? And I, a long time ago, also said that I will send you away sooner or later. . Well, now is the time, I will send you here and you can leave on your own."
Richard's eyes flashed.
"By the way, there's Pandora, she likes to play with you, you can take her with you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After finishing speaking, Gregory stood up and was about to take off.
Pandora frowned, then reached out and grabbed Gregory's tail with such force that it even drew a bloody trace.
Gregory was very strange, and Pandora obviously felt it and wanted to know why.
However, Gregory did not persuade or try to coax as before, but forcefully flicked his tail and soared directly into the sky. He circled in mid-air and glanced at Pandora, who was knocked to the ground by his tail and was slowly standing up. There was a bit of surprise and a bit of fear on Pandora's face, and there was a look in Gregory's vertical pupils. He showed a bit of reluctance, but in the end he flew towards the direction he came from.
"You have to be good..." Gregory said, only half of his words were spoken before he had already flown away.
At this moment, Pandora was scared because she was unfamiliar with Gregory's behavior. And Gregory also had fear in his heart, and it was a greater fear or fear.
For many years, he had never found the help he had been looking for, but danger followed him everywhere.
He may be able to escape this time, maybe not, but even if he escapes, it doesn't mean he is safe. He will still have to hide in fear and wait for the next chase.
What you can't escape, you can't escape in the end, so it's better to face it directly.
Then face it.
Gregory thought as he quickly flew back towards the hill.
Pandora, who stayed where she was, looked at Richard and couldn't help but grab Richard's hand. Although she had a strong fighting power and felt that she was more powerful than Richard, she felt deeply frightened and helpless at this moment. Like a child abandoned by his parents - she had never seen Gregory look like just now, which surprised her and frightened her.
Grabbing Richard's hand and looking at Richard, Pandora said: "Gregory, he..."
Richard shook his head and did not answer. He looked in the direction where Gregory left with some confusion. Gregory's explanation just now was almost the same as no explanation at all.
Gregory did say that he would send him away before, and he did say that he would leave. In fact, he had already packed his luggage and was preparing to leave today. But without even saying hello in advance, Gregory brought him here directly and asked him to take Pandora with him.
This doesn't look like a farewell, more like... Tuogu
Richard frowned deeply, and a large number of fragments flashed through his mind. From the beginning of his contact with Gregory to just now, a large number of memories emerged.
Although he usually didn't pay much attention to Gregory and Pandora because he was busy with research, it didn't mean that he completely ignored each other's behavior. The details of mutual contact are recorded in the brain using special memory methods, and can be quickly retrieved when needed.
