Son of the Olden Days

At the end of the summer of 717 in the dark calendar, on an obscure day, at the foot of Mount Abanis, it was sultry and light rain.

This is a cave, slightly above the ground, and it was accidentally discovered by Sol while walking along the foot of the mountain while escorting Lorna to Kain City.

Sol climbed up and looked around. The depth of the cave was not deep.

Perhaps it is because the ground in the cave is slightly sloping downwards. It is conceivable that the rain will flood the lower places during the rainy season in autumn, so there is no trace of the life of beasts in this cave.

It actually doesn't take long to go to Kayin City from the shore of Wailing Lake. It would take a day and a half if you take a straight path, but it is obviously not realistic to walk for a day without stopping. You always have to stop for a bite or take a break.

So Sol half-kneeled at the entrance of the cave and stretched out his hand to drag Lorna up.

The environment in the cave was basically dry. Sol tore off a dry vine from the cave wall and swept it on the ground at will, and sat down cross-legged.

He could have eaten well during the trip, but Sol did not have the habit of exposing the space ring in front of people, so he still adhered to this principle at the moment and took out his food from his coat pocket.

An ordinary ration for adventurers, a piece of air-dried bacon wrapped in cloth, and a small pile of dried fruit.

Seeing Lorna standing quietly on the side, she didn't know if there was any food prepared in her space items. Sol broke his bacon and handed it half to her, but Lorna shook her head silently.

Saul shrugged, no matter whether he was hungry or not, he didn't expect any response. It's only impolite to eat food by himself. Now that he has expressed his basic concern, Saul does not care to start his own meal.

"Wait, you... don't eat." Lorna said suddenly.

Is there something in your food unknowingly? Saul stopped hesitatingly.

Smoothly sweeping the ground with the dry vine that Sol tore off, Lorna suddenly shook her hand, and then handed Sol, a cloth cushion that looked a little soft and advanced. It seems that the content of her space jewelry is very rich. .

"Thank you." Sol didn't care, took it and tucked it under his ass.

The two had no conversation along the way, just rushing along with their heads stuffed. Maybe it's because of the hot and lazy weather, maybe it's the mood of different dreams, or just because...there is nothing to say to each other, until now.

Lorna placed the cushion on the ground, and sat down across from Sol in a lady sitting position with her legs slanted.

Then there was another flash in her hand, and she unexpectedly raised a small round table, which is the kind of small pocket table that is usually set up on a carriage for drinks. At this time, the room between her and Sol is just enough to put the table down. .

Then, a roast chicken, a pot of creamy pumpkin soup, a stack of delicate pastries, a pot of carrot stew, a lambskin bag of wine, two dinner plates, matching silver knives and forks, and silver wine glasses, appear in sequence On the table, the food is still warm.

"So particular?" Saul smiled slightly, his tone not being teasing. He should almost be able to change such a table, even if he can't change it, he can make it now.

"Don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike your food, in fact, I have eaten it countless times during the trip. It’s just that I want to have a meaningful meal today. I prepared these foods in town in advance. This is my first time..." Lorna explained to the end, there was a sudden pause.

"Is it the first time to have dinner with a man?" Sol asked with a faint smile.

"Yes, it's also the first time to have dinner with someone on her birthday." Lorna also smiled, seeming to be a little bit self-deprecating.

Saul wanted to scream, but he knew that since the topic had begun, the situation in front of him was not something that could be simply perfunctory, although Saul didn't think he was a suitable person to talk to.

In the quiet and darkness, Lorna closed her eyes silently and folded her hands on her chest, but it seemed that she was not praying but wishing. After a while, she opened her eyes again, then took the knife and fork and looked at Saul with a smile.

"Do you believe in gods?" Lorna asked suddenly.

"There is no god, I am my own **** for me. Even if I really want to say yes, I think the person who can pull you in your bad luck may be the god." Saul smiled and shrugged his shoulders. .

"Some people always seem to know how to live, but some people have been complaining about life with scars and scars. It seems that I obviously belong to the latter." Lorna's tone was faintly sad, and she silently bowed her head and crossed a piece of stew. .

"Wait a minute, don't eat it yet." Thor suddenly stopped her with a loud voice.

"Since it's your birthday, maybe we can still have a little sense of ritual." In Lorna's puzzled eyes, Sol suddenly stood up and ran out of the cave.

After a while, Thor took back some dead branches to serve as firewood, and soon a small fire appeared beside them.

"There is a saying among adventurers. Whether in the wilderness or in the cold winter, it seems that as long as you light a fire, you don't need to bake any delicious food on it. As long as it shines there, it can bring people a kind of fearless warmth. "

"Of course, this is probably also the bright side of human nature. Anyway, you can just imagine it as a fireplace in your home."

Sol pointed to the small fire and said with a smile, and Lorna nodded with a smile.

"Oh, wait, there seems to be one thing forgotten." Sol said, stood up again and ran out.

When Sol returned to the cave with her hands behind her back, Lorna actually took off her dress that was a little ragged and wrinkled because of the adventure, and replaced it with a gorgeous long dress. Turned around in front of you.

"How do you feel?" Lorna raised her hand shyly, pinned a few strands of blue hair behind her ear, and asked expectantly.

"To be honest, I rarely pay attention to women's clothes, but they look good and beautiful." At this moment, Saul would naturally not say anything inappropriate to sweep the scenery, but he did not lie.

"That's because you are only interested in the contents of the clothes." Lorna blinked playfully.

"It's really important inside." Sol was as steady as an old dog, shunning the subject, and then suddenly took out a wreath from behind.

"Happy birthday! And you see that the wreath is a live buckle, you can hang it on your neck, or you can tighten it and wear it on your head." Sol pointed to the wreath in Lorna's hand and explained.

It was a small purple and white flower. Saul thought it was a morning glory, but it didn't seem to be. He could only make a temporary wreath with some of the stems and leaves of the flower branches.

"...Thank you!" Lorna covered her mouth with red eyes and happily put the wreath on her neck.

The next temporary birthday party finally started in a brisk atmosphere, during which Sol said two jokes, and Lorna also shared some interesting facts about her teenage career.

This meal can be a little bit joyous to eat, even Sol himself was a little surprised.

The first half of the meal is very happy, the second half is a bit sad.

"Our family...in the local area also used to be a powerful aristocrat with wealth and power in the hands." Starting with this sentence, Lorna's topic inevitably shifted to the family side.

It used to be, and it is not now, Thor is silent.

So Lorna continued to narrate in a soft voice.

Said how his brother used to shine, how fanatically chasing ideals, and was finally ruined in the secret. He said how gentle and virtuous his mother was, but died in grief in the end. He also said that the declining family is empty and deserted, leaving her and her father to depend on each other.

Thor has been listening in silence, playing his role.

These sad old stories actually sounded the same, but Saul thought that overall Lorna was still luckier than Cletti, at least she looked back occasionally, and she could still recall some nostalgia in her memory.

And Kletty couldn't even turn her head back, and she didn't know where the night elf went and how he was doing.

"Father is old, and everything he said was the same." Finally, Lorna sighed with these words as the end of the entire narration.

Suddenly silence fell in the cave.

Saul raised the cup at the right time to signal that he was still in his body and that he had been listening carefully. When listening to other people's stories, occasionally make a response. This is what a qualified listener should do.

"After talking to you, I feel better. I'm sorry, I told you so much unknowingly. Maybe you are bored?" Lorna looked at Saul, she seemed to have had some wine, and her face was a little red.

"Although I am an orphan, you must know that I have also said goodbye to the one I love. Maybe life... was originally a process of losing love, and we kept sorrowing for it. Gradually, we are getting old. ."

"However, it is precisely because of these losses that we who are still alive can feel how important they are in our lives."

Sol looked at Lorna, her voice calm and serene.

"That's great!" Lorna put her elbow on the table, holding her small face and sighing with tears.

Sol raised his hand across the table and rubbed her little head.

"Do you often seduce girls like this?" Lorna raised her eyebrows, seeming a little surprised at Saul's approach to intimacy.

"When I want to comfort someone, and the language is not pale enough, I will reach out and touch her head. I think this is probably due to my attitude towards wild dogs."

"I usually have two attitudes towards wild dogs. Those who silently squat aside and look at me, whether they beg or not, I am happy to share a good meal with them. And those who bark and demonstrate as soon as they come up, I usually do Kick it hard in the ass." Saul said with a serious expression on his face.

"Puff~ So, you are comforting me? Oh! No, you are a wild dog!" Lorna laughed, and suddenly reacted and pointed to Sol.

"I have indeed met many wild cats and wild dogs, golden hairs and red hairs, etc., and so on. I didn't expect to meet a blue hair today." Saul seemed a little emotional.

"You..." Lorna pointed at Saul with a blushing face, but couldn't find a strong counterattack for a while.

The two laughed together.

He doesn't look like a bad guy, Lorna thought.

But think about the Dark Cross Squadron is waiting in Kayin City, the boy's next ending...

Unfortunately, Lorna could not reveal anything. If she dared to ruin this mission, it would not be the last straw to crush her family, but a rock that would crush her family.

The light of the fire flushed Sol's face, staring at that face, Lorna felt a deep guilt in her heart.
