The man looked sharply at the two of them and asked, "Name."

"Andy." Lin An replied calmly.

Seeing Aris huddled in the corner, Lin An explained: "His name is Aiwen, and he is my younger brother. We went out of the city to visit my uncle's house. They live in a small village outside the city."

At this time, someone came over and said, "Master Saixien, let us do this kind of trivial matter."

The man who came over was very young, with a flattering smile on his face, his tight leather armor was painted white, and he held a silver spear in his hand.

The man ignored him, and his eyes seemed to be fixed on Lin An and Aris. Lin An's heart was tense, worried that Aris would be recognized.

Lin Anqiang asked calmly, "Is there any question?"

The man shook his head, waved his hand and said, "No problem, let's go."

The door closed and the carriage moved, Lin An finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Aris huddled in the corner, his face pale, as if he had been frightened, his fingers trembling slightly.

Lin An noticed his strangeness, slowed down his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

Aris asked, "Do you know who he is?"

Lin An shook his head.

"He's from the Inquisition, Knight Commander." Aris' voice was low and trembling, "I've seen many people die by his hands."

Lin An was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that Aris had probably seen many of his kind die in his hands.

Lin An comforted him: "Just leave here."

Aris looked a little dazed, and nodded slightly.

Lin An sighed slightly, opened the curtains, and saw that the scenery outside had been replaced by stretches of farmland.It was autumn, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, and many people were busy harvesting in the fields.

Lin An said to the driver: "Please, go west and send us to a crowded place."

Lin An planned to go all the way west. Once this matter is discovered today, he will definitely not be able to stay in the human territory. The only place he can go is the Orlando Heights in the west.

Orcs are simple and warm, at least until the war began.

Getting to Orlando Heights takes you through several cities, then across a mountain range and a forest.Originally, there were major roads leading directly to Orlando, but they were blocked one by one after the war started, and Lin An and Aris were unlikely to pass through places with troops, so they had to take a detour to Orlando.

The coachman responded, "I'll take you to the nearest small town."

Lin An said: "Thank you."

Aris asked, "Where are you going?"

Lin An lowered his voice: "To the west, Orlando Heights."

Aris nodded imperceptibly, and then fell silent.

When he arrived in the small town, Lin An bought a map on the street to see how to go next.Aris followed behind him quietly, like a shadow.

There was a restaurant by the road, Lin An thought of something, and asked Aris, "Are you hungry?"

Aris shook his head and continued to hang his head in a daze.

Lin An put away the map, still worried that someone in the Holy City would catch up.I went to buy two loaves by myself, found another driver, agreed on the price and location, and took Aris to the car.

Aris was still the same as before, sitting in the corner.

Lin An handed him the bread, and Aris said stiffly, "No need."

Lin An was helpless: "Are you having trouble with me or yourself?"

Aris pursed his lips and hid in the shadows, his side face was blurred: "Let's separate up to the front, and I will repay you for saving me."

Lin An was furious. He thought Aris had figured it out when he saw Aris was quiet, but now he started to lose his temper again.Damn boy.Lin An gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to pull him over, and warned him word by word: "I risked my life to save you, not to make you quarrel and lose your life."

Aris suddenly became emotional: "What do you know?"

"Yes, I don't know anything, but I know that being alive is the most important thing." Lin An slowly loosened his collar, "Maybe you have experienced a lot of bad things, but at least you are still alive, right? ?”

Aris stared at Lin An stubbornly.

Lin An continued: "I have experienced some...very uncomfortable things before. Even now, I don't really want to think about those things, but I have to admit that I have always been very glad that I survived it."

Aris' expression softened a little.

"Forget it, think it over for yourself." Lin An was also a little depressed, and stuffed the bread to Aris, "Maybe we can go to the next town in the evening, and then we can have a good night's rest before continuing on our way. "

Lin An didn't mean to say that, but Aris really reminded him of the past.

From the scars on Aris' body, it can be seen that Aris must have suffered a lot in prison.Perhaps it was even worse than Lin An at that time.But no matter what, it's best to be alive.

"No matter what you want to do, who you want to meet, and what kind of life you want in the future." Lin An said, "The prerequisite for all of this is to be alive."

After a long time, Aris whispered, "Thank you."

Lin An was a little surprised. He looked up and saw that Aris had returned to his expressionless dead face, biting the bread in his hand.

——Suddenly Lin An understood why Xie Xian liked to preach occasionally.

When Lin An lived with Xie Xian for the first time, Xie Xian talked for a long time.At that time, Lin An was probably very similar to Aris.

The sky was already dark, and the black satin-like sky was dotted with countless shining stars.

The autumn night was slightly cool, and the noisy sound of punching punched through the tavern.

A drunk man pushed the door crookedly and came out, almost knocking down Aris who just got out of the carriage.He muttered "I'm sorry", hummed and walked away.

The town is still very lively at night, far away from the flames of war in the West, life is peaceful and peaceful.A little girl ran up to Aris with a basket in her hands. There were still two or three bright red roses in the basket.

"Beautiful brother, do you want flowers?" The little girl had blond hair tied into a big braid, and her blue eyes were like a clear lake.

Aris was a little dazed. At this moment, he felt that he had really left the dark, sunless underground prison of Guangming Academy and truly walked into the world.

—He has come out, he is no longer in that cage.

Aris took a deep breath, and picked up a flower with some clumsy movements.

Lin An paid the driver, and when he turned around, he saw Aris looking at him, and a little girl was standing beside Aris with her head tilted.

Lin An saw the flowers in Aris' hand at a glance, took a copper coin and handed it to the little girl.

"Thank you brother." The little girl bounced and ran away.

Lin An said to Aris: "Let's find a hotel first."

Aris nodded, looking at the flowers in his hand: "If it's money, I will find a way to return it to you in the future."

Lin An didn't care: "Let's talk about it later, the flowers are pretty, look, it's good to be alive."

The two booked a room at the hotel and went out for dinner.

The two of them only ate one piece of bread each day, and now they are having a serious meal.

After that, another person bought a set of clothes. Although Aris was thin, he was a little taller than Lin An.His silver hair color is very conspicuous, and his appearance is handsome and good-looking, attracting the attention of many girls.

The owner of the clothing store was a young woman, who graciously fetched clothes for the two, and asked Aris' name, age and address in a circumstantial manner.

Aris's expressionless face was rarely embarrassed, and he kept hiding behind Lin An.

It was only at this time that it became clear that Aris was indeed just a child.

After shopping for clothes, Lin An joked, "They all like you."

Aris gave an "um", still holding the flower in his hand.The proprietress wanted to take this flower, but Aris didn't give it to her.Holding a living thing in his hand will make Aris feel more like returning to the real world.

Back at the hotel, Lin An was about to go to bed when Aris knocked on the door.

Lin An asked, "What's the matter?"

Aris stood at the door wearing a thin shirt: "Do you have a knife here?"

Lin An let him in, closed the door and asked, "What do you want a knife for?"

Lin An did bring a small dagger with him, just in case.

Aris pursed his lips, not wanting to speak.

Lin An held the dagger and raised his eyebrows: "What happened?"

Aris rolled up his sleeves, and there was a hexagram pattern on his right wrist.There are also a few thin incomprehensible patterns tattooed on the hexagram, and the whole pattern exudes a mysterious atmosphere.

"They have tattoos that imprison magic power," Aris said.

Lin An was stunned for a moment: "What are you going to do?"

Aris took the dagger expressionlessly, and quickly stabbed it into his wrist.Holding the dagger in his left hand, he turned it around without hesitation, and forcibly gouged out the whole piece of flesh with the magic circle tattooed on it.

His movements were so fast that Lin An didn't even react.

Aris' face didn't change a bit, only the sweat on his forehead betrayed his feeling at this moment.

Damn boy.Lin An had never seen anyone be so cruel to him.

Lin An brought over the cloth towel, just now he fetched a basin of water to wash his face, and it happened to be used at this time.

Aris chanted a spell in a low voice, white light immediately enveloped the wound, and the bleeding stopped in a moment.

Lin An wrung out the cloth towel and said, "Wipe off the blood."

Aris put the bloody dagger on the table: "I'll do it myself."

With a sullen face, Lin An pulled him over, lowered his head and wiped off the blood on the side of the wound for him.

Aris explained in a low voice: "Now I can use magic. That magic circle imprisoned my magic power, so I can only do this. You are a teacher, you should know."

Lin An had nothing to say, so he could only say: "I know, I know. All right, sit down for a while, and I'll go find a bandage."

Aris sat obediently, and Lin An went out to buy a roll of bandages.This world is much more convenient than the first world.

When he came back, Aris fell asleep leaning against the bed. He kept a straight face during the day, but his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be in place when he fell asleep. The shadow on the bridge of his nose fell, and his lips were still slightly pursed.

Too good to be good.

Lin An wrapped a bandage around Aris' wrist a few times. Aris' eyelashes moved, and he slowly opened his eyes. The black eyes with a little reddish color were full of bewilderment.

After a while, the focus was restored: "Are you back?"

Lin An nodded, and tied the bandage: "Okay, go to bed early, continue west tomorrow morning, don't stay longer, it will be bad if you are caught up."

The next morning, the two got up early.

Breakfast is prepared in the hotel, ham and bread, chopped onion and carrot diced ham are stuffed in the chicken belly and copied together, sprinkled with chopped rosemary, the fragrance is strong.

Both of them changed into the clothes they bought yesterday, so as not to be recognized by people from the holy city.

It was only halfway through breakfast when there were scattered but powerful footsteps outside the hotel.

A voice said: "My lord, let's take a rest first, everyone is tired."

"Let's rest then." A familiar voice said.
