elf successor

Terrence was very fast, walking quickly on the snow that had reached his calves.

Yes, he was walking like flying, and his legs were swinging at an unexpected speed.

At this moment, Terrence was like Tabor's guardian knight, defending him to the death.

Gus looked at Terrence standing in front of him. Because of the rapid running before, the air in his chest was compressed by his rapid breathing, and the steam above his head was steaming.

Gus took it. The bread was still radiating residual heat, very soft and fragrant.

"Where can I buy lamp oil?"

Gus's voice was very soft. Terrence raised his head, looked at Gus's face, then looked at Tabor, opened his mouth, and there seemed to be something in his throat, blocking his nasal cavity, and he made no sound. .

Gus was very patient.

"You wait here."

Tabor stood up, clutched his chest, and walked out slowly. Tabor started, and the followers naturally followed him. Terrence pointed at Gus, then waved his hand, and hurriedly carried the heavy bear jacket. Chased him.

This sentence was said by Tabor to Gus.

Gus knew better, so he found a relatively clean tree root to sit down on, pushed aside the bread, leaned against the tree trunk, and watched Tubber's disappearing back.

After eating the warm bread, Gus felt much better.

It was getting dark, and Gus was even more hungry after being tortured by Tubo. The bread in his hand was quickly wiped out by Gus, and there was no sign of Tubo coming back yet.

Will Tabor come back?

Gus has not considered this issue because he firmly believes that Tabor will come back.

Gus took out the book from his arms, leaned against the sky that was not completely dark, and absorbed it hungrily.

"Wizard's Beginner's Meditation" is not thick. After two days of "gnawing", only one-third of the thickness is left.

The setting sun completely set, and the black veil enveloped the earth. The houses in the distance became bright spots. The light emitted from the windows provided Gus with his last line of sight.

Tabor finally came and brought Gus a bucket of lamp oil, which he and Terrence carried with difficulty.

"sorry."

Tabor lowered his head slightly, looked at Gus who was thin in the dark night, and said, "This bucket of lamp oil is my compensation for you."

Terrence hid behind Tabor, his eyes full of worry. The Tabor family ran the only lamp oil store in the town. The two of them secretly moved the barrel of oil out of Tabor's backyard.

If Tabor's father discovers something is wrong, Tabor will definitely be the unlucky one in the end.

Thinking of this, Terrence shuddered secretly and tightened his fingers. Tabor's father was very stingy and regarded oil as life. Tabor stepped on his father's most dangerous minefield.

Gus looked at the full bucket and thought in his mind that the pitiful silver coins in his hand were not enough.

"I borrowed this from you."

"No, I have to go back quickly."

In the small town under the mountains, it was always cold at night. Tabor tightened his cotton-padded jacket and turned around to return.

Terrence waved his hand to Gus, bowed his waist slightly, and strode towards Tabor.

The oil drum was heavy. Gus patted the wooden cover of the oil drum, and the dull sound echoed in the darkness.

By the time Gus moved the oil drum to the hut little by little, a long time had passed, but the silence of the night could not shake the desire in Gus's heart.

The oil lamp was bright and the smell of rosin was fragrant.

·······

After that, Tabor and the others never laughed at Gus again, and even greeted Gus warmly when they met on the road.

These days, Gus is completely immersed in meditation. Every time he feels sleepy, as long as he calms down and meditates for a period of time, Gus can ensure that he is energetic all day long.

However, Gus is eating more and more food and feeling hungry more and more frequently, so Gus devotes himself to a great money-making part-time job these days.

Otherwise, with that pitiful salary, Gus would soon become a guest of the Bone Tomb.

Gus can be seen in all the shops throughout the town.

After solving the big problem of amnesia, Gus finally showed off his hidden powerful memory. He will never forget what he has learned, seen, and remembered.

People in the town were also surprised that the strange disease that had lasted for more than ten years suddenly disappeared overnight.

Tabor and the others are very worried. They greet Gus with a smile every day, fearing that Gus will suddenly recall the past.

Well Gus, that's the consensus of the town.

Winter Sun Festival, the eve.

Gus knocked on Tabor's door.

Gus came to pay back the money. A barrel of lamp oil can be filled with five hundred oil lamps, a total of two silver coins and five hundred copper coins.

Gus has three silver coins left in his hand, and the Winter Sun Festival is coming. At least during this period, there will be fewer places to use money.

"squeak·····"

The sound of the door was very harsh, as if it had not been lubricated with lamp oil for a long time.

"It's Gus, come on, come on."

The person who opened the door was a woman wearing a washed white cotton-padded jacket. Seeing Gus, it was obvious that the woman was very happy. She pulled up Gus's sleeve and walked into the house.

The Tabor house is not big, but it is very neat.

"Old Tabor, the door at home needs to be painted with lamp oil."

The woman dragged Gus across the yard and complained to the figure squatting by the big basin.

"Just wait until spring. If you apply it now, it will freeze in the cold and be wasted within a few days."

Gus looked at the back. He was very generous, and his hair, like Tabor's, was spread out like a lion on his back. He should be Tabor's father.

"Who do you see here?"

The woman did not struggle with this issue. She seemed to understand the man's temper and spoke instead.

Old Tabor turned around and looked at Gus, without any joy of welcome on his face. He grunted twice and walked to the cellar, where his heart and soul stored the entire town's lamp oil.

The woman didn't care. She cursed the old man and pulled Gus into Tabor's room.

After living together for these years, the woman naturally knew why Old Tabb was unhappy. When Gus came, there would be food for at least one person at noon.

"I'll prepare lunch while you play."

The woman rubbed her cracked hands and said to Gus and Gus with a smile.

Tabor was very serious. Half of his body was bent on the table, and he kept carving a knife in his hand. Pieces of wood chips fell down. He was carving a sword, a swordsman's sword.

The woman left happily, and Gus put three silver coins on the table.

The sound of the silver coins was very clear. Tabor raised his head and looked blankly at the silver coins that were still beating on the table. Then he became furious, picked up the silver coins and stuffed them into Gus's arms.

"Who stole my oil, Tabor, Tabor, come out."

A long sound passed through the small courtyard. Tabor's movements were sluggish, he put the silver coin firmly in Gus's hand, turned around and walked out.

Old Tabb was angry, and Gus understood that he had heard some things about Old Tabb being talked about by others at work these days.

The lamp oil was Old Tabb's life. That day, Tabor stole Old Tabb's oil and took Old Tabb's life.

Gus ran out. If the money had not been handed over to old Tabor, Tabor might have died here today.

Tabor's screams rang out in the courtyard.

The fire stick in Old Tab's hand hit Tab's body repeatedly, causing a big gash in the cotton-padded jacket on Tab's body.

Gus was just two steps slower.

Tabor was very tough, his eyes were full of bloodstains, and he stared at Gus who was following him. The woman screamed, trying to stop the old Tabor's movements.

"Give you the money."

Gus threw out the silver coins in his hand, picked up Tab and ran out the door.

Although Tabor is Old Tab's only son, his status in Old Tab's heart is far inferior to that of lamp oil.

No one can.
