animal ears

? Cole quickly found the golden flowers that Bryce said, and there were a lot of them growing on the mountainside.From afar, the golden flowers all over the field are pleasing to the eye, but once you get close, you will find that the mountains and plains are covered by these golden flowers, and there is a choking smell of blood.

It is the smell of golden flowers.

It turned out that the stink that Bryce was talking about was referring to this.

A smelly but healing flower...

Because he didn't know how much to collect, Cole decided to pick as much as possible. You must know that it is not an easy job to collect herbs in the mountains, and the smell here is too disgusting. Although Bryce seems to have a very weird temper, Cole still wants to give him Pick up some spares.

In fact, the first time I saw Bryce, there was an indescribable intimacy.

It's like seeing a loved one.

Although he doesn't have the concept of relatives, Cole does think so.

Just as he was thinking, footsteps came from a distance. Cole looked up looking for the sound. It was a female with a child on her back, holding a basket of fruit in her hand, and carefully covering the child's mouth and nose with the other hand. It is estimated that the children do not want to smell the smell here.

It should be the tribe who went to pick fruit, right?Cole looked over subconsciously, and the female also looked over at the same time. Facing Cole's friendly eyes, the female was like a stormy sea. He immediately threw away the basket in his hand, ignoring the stench of the golden flowers, and rushed forward. He came over, then grabbed Cole's shoulders, looked and looked with wide eyes, and shouted in surprise: "Adoma? Is it you? Adoma! You...you are finally back!"

After shouting a few times, the female's eyes were filled with tears, and she was almost on the verge of tears.

This is a middle-aged female. Although she looks a little old, she is still very beautiful. Cole noticed that he has a pair of familiar silver pupils.

"Adoma?" Cole was stunned, turned his head, looked at the other person blankly, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, you misidentified the person...I'm not Adoma."

Hearing Cole's words, the female froze, and then stared at Cole carefully, only to find Cole's red eyes.

In an instant, the female's eyes were full of disappointment and apology. He let go of his hand, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, you are so much like a friend of mine..."

"It's ok."

Then the female left resentfully. Suddenly, Cole saw that the female just bent down to pick up the basket on the ground, and the fruit inside fell out. But with the child on his back, his movements were very careful and very difficult.So he took the initiative to help pick it up and handed it back to the female. Cole said, "Your things."

"Ah, thank you." The female took it, "You..."

At this time, the child behind the female woke up due to the movement just now, stared at Cole with round eyes, and grabbed the female excitedly the next moment, shouting: "Father, it's Gard! Red eyes Gard!" The childish voice was full of excitement, and her slender hands kept grabbing the female's collar.

Then Cole hugs.

"Hug." Pouted, the child has already stretched out his hand.

Cole was in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Hug, hug..." Seeing that Cole didn't move, the child was about to cry.

The female hurriedly appeased the child, turned around and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, this child... Otherwise, if you can, you can hug him."

"Can you?" It was obviously a stranger.

"This is his wish." The female said with a kind smile.

So she picked up the baby, the little female was limp but very energetic, her two big eyes were watery staring at Cole's red pupils, and then she stuck to her chest, not leaving her.But the child's energy drained quickly, and after a while, he squinted his eyes and fell asleep, with a gurgling sound in his throat.

Are you very happy?

When the child fell asleep, the female bent the corners of her eyes and asked in a low voice, "I've never seen you before."

Patting the child on the back, Cole smiled softly at him, and then said to the female, "Well, I just came here today."

"You just came here?" The female was curious, and then she muttered to herself as if remembering something, "No wonder the people in the village are weird today..."

Recalling everyone's formation today, Cole smiled wryly and said, "Yes, everyone is very enthusiastic."

"Ah, that's right." The female looked serious, approached Cole, and extended her hand generously and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Lorraine."

"I'm Cole." They clapped the backs of their hands as a greeting.

"Cole?" Hearing the name, the female's eyes flickered, and she looked at Cole as if sizing her up. Then she lowered her eyebrows and was thinking about something. After a while, he stepped forward and glanced at Cole's basket. I asked curiously, "Are these golden flowers?"

"Bryce asked me to help pick it."

"So that's how it is." Lorraine sighed helplessly, "It's true that Bryce ordered people to do things the first day, but..." Glancing at Cole intentionally or unintentionally, Lorraine walked closer and smiled Ask, "Have you finished picking?"

"almost."

"Let's go down the mountain together." Lorraine invited.

There was no reason to refuse, and Cole readily agreed.

The way down the mountain was a bit long, and Lorraine's child was snuggled into Cole's arms, feeling warm.

Cole finds Lorraine surprisingly talkative.

"Fry is my youngest son, he is six years old this year, and he has four older brothers." Lorraine looked at his child and said with a smile, "The oldest child has grown up and likes to run outside, but Fry is One of the most extroverted."

Cole smiled and said, "He's cute."

"Every child is a treasure to the tribe," Lorraine said, "especially to us."

"Yes."

With a bitter expression on his face, Lorraine shook his head and said, "Alas... because most of the adults in the tribe are orcs, and females are very rare, children are our hope... But it's a pity that these children will probably not be able to choose their own in the future the way……"

Feeling the sadness in Lorraine's tone, Cole looked over, but Lorraine smiled: "Ah, I just sigh."

"...Ah." That's right.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, Siegel happened to be walking towards him. Lorraine stepped forward and said softly, "I met Cole on the mountainside."

Lorraine was very respectful to Siegel, but Siegel said lightly: "You take the child home first."

"Yeah." Lorraine nodded, then looked back at Cole, waved goodbye and said, "Next time I have a chance to go to my house, my house has delicious fruit wine."

The enthusiastic smile was very sincere, Cole nodded in agreement, and watched Lorraine go away.

"Cole." Siegel's voice called back to Cole, stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders, "I just talked to Bryce, and he said he let you live with him, I don't know what you want?" A little embarrassed, "Bryce's opinion is very firm, I have already arranged a place for you in the tribe..."

"It's okay." Cole said with a smile, "Just do as he said, and the treatment will be more convenient."

"Is it really okay?" Siegel was still worried, "Bryce asked you to go up the mountain to collect medicine when you were injured so badly."

There seemed to be a little more blame in his tone.

"It's okay, I'm much better, moving is considered exercise." Cole nodded, then smiled, "Thank you for taking care of me so much."

Smiling wryly, Siegel pursed his lips and said, "What are you talking about, but you..." Before he could speak, he turned his face and said, "You are our clansman, of course I will take good care of you."

Is it because he is "Garde"?

Thinking of this, Cole felt helpless, but he couldn't explain it clearly. He was new here, and the next thing... let's take one step at a time.

"Why so slow." Bryce said angrily as he stood at the door with his hips akimbo.

"I met Siegel when I came back and talked for a while." Cole replied, and handed a basket of golden flowers to Bryce, while he stood aside to see if there was any need for help.

While removing the flower core, Bryce said, "Siegel told you, you live with me."

"Got it." He replied quickly.

With a slight movement of his fingers, Braston made a moment, but without turning his head, he said, "It's not in vain, you need to help."

"learn."

"You have to do the cooking and cleaning."

"Ah."

"So you're perfunctory?" Bryce rolled his eyes at Cole, and turned his head angrily, "Couldn't it be better to talk longer."

"Of course." Cole smiled wryly.

"I'm not idle looking for someone to chat with, huh." With a muffled grunt, Bryce dropped what he was doing and said, "I'm going out for a while, you help me fix all these, I don't want flower cores, too It's smelly and poisonous, after you fix it at night, make medicine and apply it to your wound and it won't hurt anymore, if you don't clean it up...it'll be used on you anyway." After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands and went out.

Cole watched his back and shook his head slightly.

Despite the unpleasant words on his lips, Cole knew that Bryce was soft-hearted, which was evident from the way he carefully picked the flowers just now.

He looked down at the flowers in his hand.

The smell of golden flowers is the smell of blood, the smell that makes me uneasy.

Suddenly thinking of Ley's bloody smile again, Cole couldn't help but clenched the petals tightly, and the smell became even stronger.

The smell symbolized parting, and he didn't like it.

Because he has no memories, he is even more afraid of parting, afraid of being left alone in this world, afraid of losing someone who can take him home with tenderness, he doesn't know where such depressed emotions come from, maybe it's just a simple disgust of being thrown away Feel it.

Day after day, that nightmare would still come back, full of blood, full of tears like blood.

Every time I wake up, my heart hurts.

He felt sad, that kind of indescribable, unspeakable sadness, from the heart, but it seemed to completely submerge the soul.

The pain of loss is suffocating, and I don't want to experience it again.

Want to see him, say sorry.

"Ley──" he whispered his name with a sigh, and a strange faint floral fragrance suddenly diffused into the air, as if blown in by the wind at the door.

Cole looked back, unexpectedly, someone was really outside the house.

Slightly surprised.

Holding the door frame silently, Palanch held a bouquet of small white flowers, lowered his head, then walked in, put the flowers on the bedside, and went out without saying a word.

"Parange." Called him.

Looking back, Palanch stopped and remained motionless.

Looking at the flowers on the table, Cole asked, "Are these flowers..."

"For you."

"For me?" Surprised.

"Because you don't look energetic." Palanch said lightly.

"Could it be that you...follow me?"

Nodding, Palanch didn't hide anything, he said, "Master asked me to follow you, I was afraid of disturbing you, so I just watched from the side."

It turned out to be Sarah's order.

"Are you... all right last night?" Thinking of this, Cole asked.

Shaking his head, Palanch said, "The demon dragon is Siegel's domesticated animal. After the master promised to come back, they returned to the sea without harming me."

The implication is that if Sarah does not agree to come back, will she hurt him?

"I didn't expect Siegel to raise such a dangerous beast as the magic dragon..."

"This is very common." Palanch closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them, "The direct lineage of the leader of the Beast Ears has a power that can make the most vicious and brutal beasts submit, so they will domesticate some strange and dangerous beasts for generations. Beasts to protect themselves."

"Straight lineage? What is that?" It was the first time I heard the term.

"Purple eyes," Palanch said.

"So Sarah also has this power?"

Palanch nodded.

In fact, not only Sara and Siegel, Bryce's eyes are also purple. Could they have domesticated some strange beasts?

After a moment of silence, Cole said, "Take me to Sarah."

"Okay." Without thinking, Palanch nodded and agreed. ?
