"Falina, breakfast is ready."
Joe walked to the bedroom door with a plate of bread and a small half of cheese, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
In the past two months since Luna appeared in the world, the life of the two of them can be said to be extremely simple. He prepares three meals a day before going to work in the Executive Office. Farina rarely came out. Most of the time, she stayed in the room motionless. Occasionally, she would ask him to inquire about the current situation of Hermes. Only at this time would the two chat more.
Joe didn't know what Farina was thinking, but it was already a great luck to be with her, and he didn't dare to ask for more for a while.
But today there was no movement behind the door.
"Falina, are you up yet?"
Joe tapped a few more times in confusion.
"That... it's time for breakfast."
"Falina?"
Still no response, as if the room was empty.
Joe's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly thought of the worst possibility—
Damn, aren't things clearly changing for the better
He put down the dinner plate and slammed his shoulders into the door!
With a bang, the door swung open.
The most terrifying sight did not appear - there was no rope hanging from the beam, and there was no blood dripping from the bed, which made Joe a little relieved, as long as the other party was still alive, things would not be irreversible.
But this happiness only lasted for less than a breath, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
The furnishings in the small bedroom are clear at a glance, and there is no shadow of Farina in it. The wooden bed, table and windows have been carefully taken care of, and they look very neat.
—It was as neat as it looked when the two moved in on the first day.
Joe walked slowly to the table. A day ago, this table was still full of various books about the church and the weekly Greycastle newspaper, but now, the table is empty.
she left.
Joe felt a great sadness as the thought came to his mind.
Obviously this was not a decision that Farina made suddenly.
She even wiped the dust off the corner of the desk, but did not write a message.
Is it so that you don't have to trouble yourself to clean up the mess...
Joe sat down numbly at the table.
Where will the other party go? Hermes? Former hometown? Or take your own life in an uninhabited forest
Of course he can go looking for her... But, in such a big world, what are the chances of him finding Farina? What's more, the other party didn't leave any message, and it was clear that he hoped to disappear, so what if he could find it
As soon as she thought that the woman would never be seen again in her future life, Qiao felt as if there was an extra hole in her heart, and her thoughts also stagnated, as if her brain resisted thinking about it any longer...
He couldn't change anything after all.
"Good morning, Joe."
Why didn't you notice this sign sooner, and why be complacent about a peaceful life
"Joe?"
In the end, all this is just to meet his own needs, he never thought about what the other party really needs—
"Joe!"
It wasn't until a hand turned Joe's face over that he realized that there was someone behind him at some point.
"What are you talking about alone?"
Joe blinked.
It's Farina.
She was frowning, looking at him up and down with a scrutiny expression, "Is there something wrong with your head?"
"You... didn't go?" Joe grabbed her arm in disbelief. "Or did you decide to stay again?"
"Huh?" Farina's expression became even more weird, but she didn't shake his grip. "What can't go away, I just went to the Executive Office."
The two stared at each other for a while, before Qiao said embarrassedly, "Then... why did you go to the Executive Office?"
"Ask about the eligibility for registration," Farina's tone became serious, "I saw the notice of Neverwinter City recruiting truck drivers in the weekly newspaper, and I want to give it a try."
"Ka... what?" Joe asked stunned.
"I don't know what it is, but from the description alone it should look like a carriage. I'm very good at riding and driving, so this might be an opportunity."
Chance? The feeling of detachment came to Joe's heart again, and he didn't let go for the first time. "Why do you suddenly want to hire a truck driver?"
Farina was silent for a moment before speaking, "After thinking about it for a while, I have come to understand. First of all, the original intention of the church was indeed to save the world from danger and lead mankind out of darkness. This is not only a unilateral propaganda of the church, Roland Wimbledon also admitted that it was not a lie. But the betrayal of the upper echelons made it go down the wrong path."
"and then… "
"Then the next question is whether the King of Greycastle is really fighting for the sake of mankind as he said. In Neverwinter City, I have seen the red moon symbolizing divine will, and the prosperous and prosperous leader. People, and witches who are no different from ordinary people, these are basically the same as the rhetoric in the propaganda. The only thing that cannot be proved is the devil trying to destroy human beings.”
"But Lord Tucker Thor did mention the existence of the devil in his will." Joe murmured.
"Yes, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Roland's army is fighting this enemy from hell." Farina nodded, "I don't want to make the same mistakes as before, only what I have seen with my own eyes. , to confirm."
"Do you want to go to Wolf Heart?" Joe's eyes widened.
"Yes." Farina said calmly, "I was born in the church and couldn't pass the review of the First Army, so I had to do another way. The truck driver needs to transport the supplies to the front line of the battlefield, and there, everything will be confirmed."
That's why she went to the Executive Office to ask about the driver's identity requirements...
Joe asked cautiously, "What if it turns out to be true, and what if it isn't?"
"If everything is true, I will use the rest of my life to make amends for all the sins I have committed," Farina replied without hesitation, obviously having thought about it carefully, "Although I have not captured witches with my own hands, it does not mean that the church is in the past. What I do has nothing to do with me - as a member of the Judgment Army, I am also a minion of the betrayer." She paused, "If these are all scams, then I will go back to Hermes and see if I can help. What does the new church do…”
This is the answer she has gotten so far.
Joe gradually let go of his hand. He couldn't find any reason to dissuade him. He did not escape from the mistakes of the past, but also did not give up on Tucker Thor's dying promise, and established the road to be taken in the future on a solid foundation. She was stronger than he expected. In addition to silent support at this time, any excuse and retention will destroy her.
But the ending has not changed.
Once she became a driver and went to Wolf Heart, she naturally would not continue to live here, so she packed everything in the room.
Farina... still has to leave herself.
"I..." Joe took a deep breath, for fear that the tingling in his heart would suddenly overflow his throat.
"By the way, I have another unkind request," Farina said first. "A truck needs two drivers. I hope you can go with me."
"Huh?" He hesitated.
"To be honest, I've been separated from the outside world for too long, and I really don't have the confidence to achieve this goal alone." She started a little embarrassedly, "But you can refuse me... After all, you already have a stable job and the salary Not bad either. I know I shouldn't mention this, it's just…”
"Just what?" Joe asked subconsciously.
Farina paused for a while before looking directly at him and said, "It's just that I need you."
These were words Joe had blurted out before, and it was the first time he had heard them say it.
The needy becomes the needer, and the needer is still the needy...? The daze and emptiness disappeared, and this feeling of mutual enrichment instantly filled his chest.
"Let's have breakfast first, it's getting cold." Qiao let out a long breath.
"Hey… "
In fact, there is no need to ask him this question at all.
The hearts of the wolf exiled together have been carried down, not to mention driving with the large army
"After eating, let's go sign up together." He said with a smile.
