The teenagers walked heavily, supporting each other, and silently trod across the barren land.

Dilapidated straw boots, on the semi-sand ground, stepped on one clear footprint after another.

Yellow sand blows.

The howling wind also brought a sadness.

"Leo, Elro, Little Nord..."

Mosquito-like voices sounded from time to time, and bits and pieces of crystal light scattered in the air, leaving tiny holes on both sides of the footprints.

I didn't realize it during the battle, but when the war was over, the teenagers took care of their wounds and wanted to find a friend to brag about the 'heroicness' of the battle just now. Only then did they realize that...the good friend had died.

Old Ciel walked alone at the end of the team, looking at the performance of the teenagers, his expression was inexplicably low.

However, he didn't say anything, just silently observing the surroundings, alerting the surroundings for the teenagers who were immersed in grief.

Not long after, a teenager woke up from his grief, noticed Old Ciel's gloomy expression, deliberately slowed down, and retreated to Old Ciel's side.

"Father Ciel, everyone is not blaming you, Lord Earl's orders were too hasty, and we only had two days of emergency training..."

Hearing the young man's incessant complaints, Old Ciel glanced back in warningly, but when he saw the young man's appearance at this time, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The boy's eyes were slightly red, and his face was covered with a layer of gray dust. He didn't know whether it was dust or ashes. The dust on both sides of his cheeks was wiped off purposely, but there were still some messy soil stains, dark brown semi-moist mud. Shaped, staggered, and funny like cat whiskers.

"Hami..."

Old Charles hesitated.

It suddenly occurred to him that the young man just didn't want to be seen by himself...even his companions were embarrassed, so he wiped away his tears and came to find himself, so...that's why he made a ridiculous excuse for his companions.

"Huh? What's the matter, Father Charles?" The young man pretended to laugh freely, and asked without realizing it, but he didn't know that his embarrassment had long been noticed by the old man.

Along the way, there are neither rivers nor wells.

In addition to blood, there are only tears, which can wet the dust on his face.

Old Ciel shook his head, gave up the scolding, and turned to persuade slowly: "The outbreak of war will not let you make all preparations. The soldiers in the territory, including your fathers, are all in the border town to defend against foreign enemies." "In the territory A disaster has happened, and the soldiers can't come back to help, so if we don't resist, can we still ask those monsters to kindly let us go?"

"Father Charles, no, I can go! Why are we staying here..."

Old Ciel looked at the depressed teenagers in front and sighed deeply, "It is better to die in battle than to starve to death, you haven't stopped what our generation said about escaping into the earldom. "

"You have to know that such a good lord is very rare. Many things that you think are commonplace are actually very precious."

"What," Hami argued in a low voice, "the world is so big, where can't people live in it?"

"Father Charles, do you know what is beyond the earldom?"

Without waiting for the old man to interrupt, Hami continued to ask:

"Do you know what is beyond the Kingdom of Llanelli and the Empire of San Fernando?"

"Do you know where the Aners Continent is?"

Hami hurriedly explained: "The Aners Continent is here! It's the land where we stand!"

"Do you know what the continent closest to us is called?"

"Do you know how many continents there are in this world?"

"There are countless, and even new continents are discovered every year!"

Speaking of these, Hami's eyes are shining.

"You must know that only an area of ​​more than '5 million square kilometers' can be called a continent. Those smaller than this area can only be called islands, and will not be recorded at all!"

"The world is so big, where can't people live?"

Old Ciel listened quietly, and waited until the boy paused before asking, "Then what? Find a smaller remote village, kill all of them, and then occupy it? You dare not seize our village with these, kill them If we fight against the monsters of the villagers, we only dare to invade other people's villages?"

"Father Ciel, what are you talking about!" Hami was a little angry, even the elders of the same village could not insult his ideals like this, "Can't we find an unoccupied corner and cultivate it ourselves?"

"An Xin reclamation? Just the few of us? Do you want to take your aunt? Do you want to wait for your father to come back? If you don't care, then take your aunt with you. There are so many people, what should we do on the way?"

"Then what if there are bandits who come to rob us? After all, according to your words, we are going quietly, right? As long as we are not caught on the spot, even if someone sneaks up on us, it will not be too much trouble, right? As long as If someone has malicious intentions, we will always encounter enemies that we cannot deal with."

"Let's not talk about what happened on the road, just say we got to the place."

"Will you meet other people?"

"Just like the current San Fernando Empire, there is still a reason to say that it is only for the count, that is, I don't want to go to war with Llanelli. UU www.uukanshu.com"

"If we go to a new place and people in the local area or nearby want to target those of us who have nothing to rely on, do we need to make excuses?"

"and also…"

"Even if you find a place, it's like the monsters that appear here. If it's other sparsely populated areas, there must be jackals, tigers and leopards, and even all kinds of monsters, right?"

"Then what should we do?"

"Do you want to find a way to solve them, or continue to run away and wait until we find the real 'paradise'?"

The young man was talking about ideals, but in fact he had a kind of escape mentality.

The old man seemed to follow the words of the young man, but he was teaching him to recognize the reality.

Running away is indeed an easy option, but it doesn't solve the problem and can even lead to more serious problems.

"I haven't been there yet, how do you know there will be so much trouble?" Hami was obviously a little unconvinced. "Let's not talk about the location too far, let's just find a corner of the jungle, who can find us?"

Young people always have an 'I think, I think' quality.

Or maybe he was simply stubborn and unwilling to admit these things.

"Alright, alright," Old Ciel patted the boy on the shoulder and did not persuade him any further.

Some people don't look back until they hit the south wall.

Some people may not be soft-spoken, but in fact have already remembered it in their hearts.

"Hami, I'm going back."

"Go back? Where to go?" Hami didn't know what he was thinking, and his reaction was obviously a lot slower.
