Silver Blade and Rose

He didn't bring any negative emotions when he said "good guy", and Zals could hear it, it was completely sincere emotion, and he didn't mean to satirize him or Edwin.

Zals wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say to dispel the indescribably tragic atmosphere in the situation before him.In the end, watching Grant walk forward alone, he managed to find what he had been wanting to say but hadn't said yet.

"Actually, I've wanted to ask for a long time, do you always think I'm a bad guy?"

Grant stopped, turned his back to him and said, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not," Zals smiled, not surprised that he saw himself this way, "I stayed in No. 179 because I like this kind of life and everyone there; I choose to carry out Edwin's plan, It is because I think it is highly feasible and has a sufficient success rate; as for why I want to help you... probably because I want to be your friend."

To be honest, even he himself felt that this statement was a bit naive, but anyway, this was indeed his own idea, and there was no need to lie in order to appear mature.

For the first 20 years of his life, he lived in a very comfortable environment. Perhaps for this reason, after coming to No. 179 Rock Hill Street, he seemed to open the door to a new world, and went far away with great interest, even to himself. It has reached the point where I didn't realize it.He loves this world and doesn't regret the potential danger. On the contrary, he cares more about the people around him than he does.

Zals was ready to be ridiculed by Grant, but the other party just stood there with his back to him, and after a long silence, he said, "I envy you, it seems that you never have any troubles, and you keep rushing forward."

He didn't expect the other party to say such a sentence, he was stunned for a moment before shaking his head, denying his statement: "...Everyone has their own troubles, and I am no exception."

Of course, he also has problems that cannot be solved, but now that someone helps him share them, it is not so troublesome for him.On the contrary, Zales also suddenly understood: What Grant lacked was not courage, but someone who accompanied him to face difficulties.

So even so, he still wants to tell the other party what he wanted to say before: "I want to help you, not because of sympathy or anything else, but just hope that you can successfully save your family and live the life you want."

He might indeed not be able to help much in the immediate situation, but if Grant looked at him with such thoughts, he would not be able to let him go alone.

"Although it may be a bit arrogant to say this, I still want to tell you that you are not alone now."

In the end, Grant still refused to let him go, but Zalls' fight was somewhat fruitful - he gave Edwin all the other weapons prepared by Edwin, leaving only the pistol named "Falling Moon" and Fraza's cloak.The pistol was what he felt should be kept, and the cloak was something that Grant was unwilling to take away no matter what, but anyway, at least he left what he could keep to the other party, which was considered a certain degree of security.

He watched Grant walk into the dark forest, roughly estimated how long he could last, and decided to stay and wait for a while before leaving.

He still felt inexplicably uneasy, and this uneasiness continued after Grant entered the forest, not only did not abate, but intensified.About half an hour later, there was still no abnormal movement in the forest. According to normal logic, Grant should have safely passed through the forest and entered the territory of Onsarster, but he always felt that something was wrong, and the forest was too quiet It is not consistent with the protective effect they expected in advance.After thinking about it, Zales still loaded the bullet and decided to follow in to have a look.

After experiencing the unpleasant search operation in the "Forest of No Return", Zars became instinctively wary of the existence of the forest. The "Forest of No Return" itself is a cage that Unsastre trapped Elvins, like some kind of aftereffect. Afterwards, when he thought of the quiet temple, he felt hairy in his heart, so that now it seems to him that quiet means In view of the potential danger, it is not so disturbing to make a little movement.

The broad-leaved trees grew here out of season, and a thick layer of fallen leaves had accumulated on the ground, but the leaves on the trees were still green.He wore night vision goggles to observe the surrounding situation, and after a while he concluded that the things in the forest might have been distracted by Grant, and there seemed to be no danger for the time being.

But this inference is of course doubtful. Zars held his gun and walked around, but found nothing abnormal, and he didn't meet Grant.

He regretted that he didn't agree with Grant on a code to confirm safety, but after thinking about it, even if there was such a code, if it was released, it might scare the snake away, or it might cause unnecessary trouble because of the code.

Just as he was thinking, something suddenly passed behind him at high speed, because the speed was so fast that it made a slight wind noise.Zals turned his head sharply, just in time to see a white figure that hadn't disappeared in time, but the action of pulling the trigger couldn't keep up with his eyes, and the bullets fired didn't have time to hit the thing, and disappeared into the night.

The white shadow had no intention of attacking further after passing behind him, and it didn't continue to approach. Instead, it looked like some kind of living thing, and it flew away like lightning in two or three strikes. When Zals didn't keep up He stopped again, as if waiting for him to go after him.

Although there may be traps in pursuit, in fact, it is not safe to stay where you are.Zars made a mark on the nearby tree with his dagger, and then walked in the direction where the white shadow left.

As he walked forward, he thought, if this forest is also an illusion, maybe he should raise his gun and smash everything in front of him now, but the fact is that he only kept one pistol for himself, and the bullets loaded in it were too expensive, and it had been killed just now. A shot wasted reflexively by him, and he couldn't bear to continue to test his imagination.

With five rounds left, there's no point in using the gun if the thing isn't alive.

Zars kept his eyes on the white shadow not far in front of him. The moment it stopped, he dodged and hid behind the tree, then bent down and picked up a branch half an arm thick from under his feet for backup.But the moment he held the branch, the dry and rough branch suddenly became slippery and soft, and after he let go of his hand, it coiled around his arm like a snake and crawled towards him.

"!"

Unable to shoot with a gun, Zars could only use his other gloved hand to grab the snake that had swam up to his shoulder, but he couldn't catch it because of the slippery layer of mucus on the snake's body. In a blink of an eye, It had already stuck to his ear, and he hissed and said: "Don't go any further, Lord Onsarst has a grand dinner tonight, and I don't want others to disturb it."

Zals was convinced that he heard a snake say this, and thought that he had traveled to the world of a certain children's literature, but the cold and sticky touch wrapped around his neck, which made his level of sobriety rise sharply, clearly Understand this is no joke.

The reason why he didn't hurt him was probably because the cloak was still on him. This thing thought he was a demon who came here for some purpose. If he found out that he was actually a human being, it might not be so easy to talk about.

Zals found that his uneasiness seemed to have become a reality. He had encountered this thing with the cloak on, so what about Grant?
