Violet and the Thorn Bird

Gray raised the soil and sent Fanny to a safe high ground.Fanny climbed up the web woven by the plants and shattered her vial.

"Let's go! Gray!" Following Fanny's shout, the plants stood up abruptly, their roots burst from the ground, they supported each other into giants, and they ran, rolling up the mercenary group with vines, throwing Back into the rattan net, they ran towards the city gate with them.

Borg leaped onto the branch of the plant and fell into the net with Gal in a wobble.

"Perfect! It's just in time!" Fanny wanted to help Gal pull Borg away, but she screamed at the temperature of Borg.

"Let him be pressed down like this." Gal lay on the ground, seeing the red mark on the back of Borg's neck, "The mark broke out, how long will he sleep for?"

"I don't know!" Gray stood at the forefront of the plants, and the soil quickly built a bridge in front of the roots of the plants, and they jumped directly over Misen's head.The imprint on Gray's palm was already blurred, and his hands trembled, which was due to excessive force.He said, "Borg's imprint is a special case. No one has ever been like him. The time he falls into a deep sleep after each outbreak is different. We'd better not wake him up. It's a very dangerous thing."

Then he looked back at Misen, Misen raised his hat, waved at him, and said loudly, "It seems that this time Lady Luck is on your side, but don't be too happy, we will meet again. As tolls, we will accept the stray horses."

"Annoying man." Fanny also fell on the vine net, "He makes me very uncomfortable! You are seriously injured Gal, do you need my help?"

"Thanks." Gal looked at the leaves above his head to block the rain, "but no, I need to sleep too... Please wake me up before night falls. But before that, I have a question, you know Belle can spray Fire? My God, it breathes fire like a dragon! Can a snotbeast do that?"

"Are you kidding me?" Fanny got up, pulled Belle out of Borg's pinch, held it in her hand and spun it around, "Is it really breathing fire? When did it happen?"

"Just an hour ago," Gal said proudly, "sprayed fire as thick as two fingers!"

"...That should be because of the Peeping Eye." Fanny looked at Belle as if she wanted to dissect it, "The original body of the Peeping Eye is the fire left by Vulcan, and its stomach is terrible Well, it really digested the peeping eye. Is there nothing else but breathing fire? The peeping eye is connected to each other, and it may be able to see the pope inside the temple going to the bathroom."

"Can you baby?" Gal craned his neck to look into Belle's eyes, "Can you see a handsome guy going to the bathroom?"

Belle patted her ears, snorted contemptuously, and then shook her head.

"It's quite angry." Fanny threw Belle back on Borg's back, "Well, you can be invincible now. Think about it, you can hold the cub in your left hand and pull Borg in your right hand, let this For father and daughter to use flames to clear the way for you, I guarantee that the devil king will not give you such cool treatment."

"I'm so happy then," Gal said. "If I told Borg I was going to walk him like a dog, I think he'd be very interested in teaching me 'manners.'" Borg breathed steadily, and Gal Looking down at his side face leaning on one side, he whispered, "He's so hot..."

The two fell asleep like this, Gal's torn sleeves couldn't cover his arms, and Fanny watched those wounds gradually heal...disappeared.

The plants galloped across the wilderness, taking steps like giants, making the original two-day journey only four hours.They directly cross the villages and towns along the way, stepping on the mud, and marching forward bravely in the rainstorm.

"Welcome everyone!" Gray raised his hands at the moment the soil fell apart, standing in the rain and cheering, "We have left the range of violets, and next is the territory of the dwarves. Look forward to it, brothers, the beer of the dwarves is the real beer! "

The plants stepped on the wet grass, and the endless deep forest has appeared at the end.

Gal was woken up by the pain in his left eye. He sat up, his bare upper body exposed to the quilt, and the wound had become a negligible shallow mark.There is only one window in the room, with a floral curtain drawn, the surroundings are dark, but the noise and bustle outside the door can be heard.Borg lay beside him, still asleep.

Gal fell back on the pillow and took Borg's hand over his eyes.Borg's palms were dry and warm, and his body temperature had dropped back to normal.Cal was lying like this, and suddenly asked Borg, "Are you hungry?"

Borg, of course, would not answer.

"What if you sleep for seven or eight days? Humans will die if they don't eat." Gal muttered, "This is not a good way to die. If you don't wake up, then I need to find a way to make you eat. But How do you digest it after eating it? I need to help you... um... excrete it? Okay, excrete. In fact, I said so much just to express that I am so hungry, ah, Borg, I am so hungry... I should hug Hold your body, wrap your palm around your left eye, and go out to find something to eat. But I don't think you will like this position..."

He wakes up refreshed.

Borg suddenly pressed Gal hard with his hand, then half-opened his eyes with a sigh.

"It's so loud," Borg said hoarsely, "I can hear your self-talk very clearly."

Gal whistled, "It's a bit early this time, I thought you'd at least sleep a little longer."

"Someone keeps saying he's hungry." Borg sat up. "He's making me hungry, too."

Borg had a bandage wrapped around him, but he tore it off.There was a knife cut on the exposed strong back, and the cut on the side of the waist was the hardest.

"I need to take a shower." Borg rubbed the corner of Gal's eyes with his fingertips. "The medicine smells bad."

"Don't be like this." Gal lay still, "You irritable patient, God knows how much courage Fanny used to give you the medicine. Don't let her medicine go to waste, darling?"

Borg moved one arm, and the muscles at the shoulder blade moved accordingly, looking very attractive.

"Don't open your eyes to peep at me." Borg turned his head, "Sexy guy."

"Who is more lustful?" Gal also sat up, facing Borg's back, he reached out and touched Borg's waist, "The flame that devours you from here, the Daybreak Blade shouldn't see blood, It has the greediest mouth in the world."

"You said it came from the abyss," Borg said. "Is there a 'devour' in the abyss?"

"Of course," Gall said, "Devour is hidden in the abyss, where my eyes can't catch it. You should sleep a little longer, your wound looks very bad."

"They'll get better here soon." Borg looked sideways at Gal, "just as I woke up so quickly."

Borg did not answer why.

He can heal like this because this is the deep forest.To the east of the forest is the Farewell River of the elves, where Borg's mother Devi is.

She already knew he was coming.

"Then go get something to eat." Gal rested his head on Berg's shoulder, "I'm so hungry that I can hardly walk!"

It wasn't until the next morning that Garl really "saw" the dwarf's house.It's a combination of mud and forest, their huts are no higher than the tops of the trees, basements are often larger than living rooms, and almost every dwarf has his own coffers.They love gold, and even decorate windows and doors with it.Crowds of elves are jumping among the branches, their beautiful faces are hard to tell the gender, and Gal has guessed four wrong genders since he went out.

"The dwarves have never had such troubles. Our boys have thick limbs and are very strong." Gray led them. "I am so happy that this is my home! We can stay here for a few more days."

"Is that where your father lives?" Gal looked towards the tallest house here.

"Yeah, he's there, how did you tell?" Gray said, "My daddy's stronger than me, wait a minute and if he hugs you, stand still."

Of course Gall could see it, because as Gray said, the dwarves used the demon king's wings as a rain cloth, and it was stretched and stood obliquely above, dark red and deep.

"I should be happy." Gal bit his ear at Borg, "It didn't fade!"

"Congratulations." Borg glanced at it, "You should be glad that old Brown didn't use it as a mattress."

"If a dwarf sat on it," Gal said, "I'd be mad."

When entering the hall, Gray straightened his collar, and he seemed to be sweating a little.

"You're too nervous." Fanny nudged him, "You're meeting your father, not your lover."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Old Brown wore a jewel ring, stood up from the high seat, stepped down quickly, and sighed roughly, "My child, I miss you very much!"

"Yes, me too..." Gray opened his arms.

Old Brown passed him by, hugged Gal, and patted hard, "Borg! Why are you so thin?" He laughed loudly, and beat Gal's chest again, "The wilderness makes people change." Is it the effect of being short? You are becoming less and less like Xia Ge!"

Cal was almost hit with a "puff", he raised his hand with a muffled grunt, "No, no, I'm not..."

Gray dropped his arms in embarrassment.

Old Brown said to Gal: "Although you have left the kingdom, I will always hear your name. You are more arrogant Borg than when you were in the Paladins, of course! Young people are always like this. Gray must add to you A lot of trouble."

"No, sir, I don't..." Gal raised his hand again.

"Don't say polite words to me!" Old Brown pulled his arm again, "I know! Come sit here, we have to have a good chat."

"Hasn't your dad seen Borg?" Fanny whispered in shock.

"Of course I have." Gray said helplessly, "but he is color-blind and can't always recognize colors."

...and prosopagnosia.

"Stop pulling him, sir." Gray squeezed into old Brown's enthusiasm, "Dad, you got the wrong guy! Borg is there, on your right! This is a new friend, his name is Gal!"

"Fuck off you bastard," old Brown said. "You're always making fun of my memory! I know who Borg is, I swear I can! I've held him and changed his diaper!"

"But I..." Gal raised his hand again, "I don't..."

"Sit down! Sit down, kid! Don't play tricks on Gray!" Old Brown pressed Gal on the chair, "How about some beer? I brew it myself! Longman flavor, I guarantee you can't taste it anywhere else! You Did you beat Tabor up yesterday? You guys are brothers, try to sit down and have a good talk sometimes, Tabor is not a one-sided guy, although he does have some dictatorship in managing Violet these days, but it has to be. You leave the kingdom It's been too long, your mother is on the bank of the farewell river, we only had afternoon tea together last month, she is fine, don't worry, if you want to see her, we are very close, if you want to. Do you want to ?”

"Uh." Gal looked at Borg, "Maybe..."

"Thank you for your kindness." Borg naturally took Old Brown's beer, touched him, and smiled after drinking it, "But we don't need to meet."

"Oh, as expected." Old Brown talked to Borg more naturally, "You are always so cold, you should try to talk to her, child, you shouldn't be strangers like this."

"Hopefully there is a chance," Borg said.

"Is your mission this time to crusade against the Demon King?" Old Brown said, "I honestly can't believe it. I saw Xia Ge kill him with my own eyes, but now the temple tells me that he has been resurrected. You came here to get something Are you enlightened about the Demon King? Then you came to the right Borg, compared to the secretive Greens, I know the whole process of your father killing the Demon King." He pointed to the upper wings, "I cut off the His wings, I know what he looks like."

"I'm very interested." Gal smiled, "What kind of story is this?"

"We found him in the abyss. He was sitting on the throne. It was really dangerous. There was only one stone path leading to the mid-air of the abyss magma. He was sitting there, with a roaring dragon standing behind him." Old Brown opened his arms, " The dragon is too big, but it looks so small when it crawls at his feet. Although the stories like to describe him as a fierce face, but I want to say that he is actually as good as Dionysus, and he is very handsome. Xia Ge walked towards him first..." Old Brown paused, "In short, Xia Ge burned through his chest with a fire, and nailed him to the back of the throne. The magma rolled, the dragon roared, and his painful cry Penetrating the Lost Canyon, making the monsters tremble. The Reiks took his eyes, Grimm took his horns, and I cut off his wings, but he wasn't dead until then. Ge repeated a word."

"What did he say?" Fanny asked.

"'You lied to us,'" Brown said. "He yelled that until the last moment when his heart was ripped out."

The beer glass suddenly fell to the ground, and the wine splashed.

Cal wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, "Sorry, my hand is slippery."

He spoke, showing his small fangs.

"I'm sure he's dead." Old Brown had Gal handkerchief handed to him. "Nothing can survive that situation, including the gods. The fire burns in his chest. It's the sword that can kill the true god. So I should tell you, child, the demon king that the temple rehabilitated is likely to be a rookie from the abyss, maybe it is Sean, anyway, it cannot be the one we killed."

"Why is Xia Ge obsessed with the devil's heart?" Gal wiped his fingers, "Take it back and freeze it, and let the old king eat it when the time comes?"

"You're right." Old Brown knocked his beer glass on the table, "That's what they really planned. When Xia Ge sent the devil's heart back to St. Forth, they all went crazy. Do you understand? People are crazy, they fought for this heart, and even turned against each other. Xia Ge became the sinner who monopolizes the secret of the heart's eternal life. When his reputation reached the peak in the kingdom, he was actually under siege, and then he died gone."

"The Lakers withdrew first. Heloise's father didn't want to fight in the same room. He took the spear and gave up the position of contention, and returned to Ice Lake City to continue guarding." Glittering, "And I have no interest in hearts, and dwarves only love gold, and immortality is useless to me, it can't make my son wiser. So I came back here and continued to mine. Old Firth is dying He was suspicious, and kept asking Shago to swear to the fire, but the old Firth still failed in the end, because the Greens also wanted to get the heart. Ji. Fei Ji walked out of the Silent Ice Vein, and the night will bypass him. He stepped into St. Forth, and everyone dared not act rashly. He made a temporary truce in the fierce battle, but when discussing the issue of the ownership of the heart, Xia Ge died , Fei Ji sealed his heart deep in the palace. Borg, your father is a strange guy...but he has the principles and virtues of a knight, he always has a damn charm, he has admiration and convincing He confines the chaotic struggle to just one negotiating table, not the entire kingdom. If the expeditionary force was his bravest achievement, then in the last period of his life, the control struggle without involving the people was his greatest. Achievements. Disputes have never stopped after Xia Ge's death, but they have not erupted within the kingdom so far. This is the wisdom of a knight."

But Borg was unmoved. His beer was getting foamy and he stopped pouring.

"Thanks for telling me that," Borg said.

Old Brown looked at Borg, his beard moved, as if he could only be defeated, "Your hatred for him has not diminished for many years."

"I never hated him." Borg drank his beer and said calmly, "I can praise the warrior of the kingdom, Stoke Shago, countless words, but I will never have half admiration for my father. Hate him There are too many people, and I no longer need one more."

Gal caught Borg's finger tapping the beer mug, a small gesture that caught him off guard.

Strange father and son.

Gal drank his beer again and looked out of the window amid Old Brown's voice, seemingly no longer interested.However, when night fell, he had a second dream of coming to the human kingdom.

Distressing dream.
