Linde opened his eyes, and he found himself lying on a wooden bed, gray in front of him, without a trace of light.

"Where is this? Why am I here?" He muttered to himself.

The things that happened before returned to his mind like picture after picture. He thought of what happened in the gloomy forest, and thought of the town being burned and looted by unknown bandits.

He thought of his mother's kind face, and the last entrustment, she also returned the gem pendant that she had carried for a long time to herself.

I can't remember what happened afterwards, there are only some fragmented pictures, Xilith is taking care of herself.

In addition, he seemed to see Leliana in the raging fire.

Is it because I miss the strangers coming together by chance but are very fond of beautiful girls? But she really is not in this world anymore.

Linde endured the pain and sat up slowly. He found that his whole body was covered with bandages, and his joints were a little unable to move.

"Hey! Are you awake? Young Master? I slept well this time? Is there any pain in my body!"

That was a small boy's thin, high-pitched voice .

Linde looked for fame, he was surprised to find a boy much younger than himself was lying on the foot of the bed.

Perhaps because it is too dim here, he hadn't noticed it before.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, I'm not Young Master." Linde said silently.

The wound on his body is indeed a little painful, but Linde doesn't want to provoke the other person's excessive concern.

"Isn't it Young Master? That's not important, but the important thing is that the leader let me take care of you, just like him." The boy said.

"Why take care of me? And...Where is this? Why am I here? What about the bad guys? I thought I was going to die in their hands? What about my mother? She really..."

Speaking of this, Linde suddenly felt as heavy as his heart was filled with stones, his mood fell, and he lowered his head between the propped legs.

"This is the camp of the Karat mercenary group...what's wrong with you? Are you sad?" The little boy leaned his head over and asked with concern.

"Well, my mother died last night. He died in the hands of those bad guys." Linde said in a low voice, groping with his hands on his chest, "Huh? My pendant? Where did the pendant go?"

The little boy hurriedly clarified the relationship: "Wait a minute! Your mother's affairs are all days before, and the head of the group personally gave it to the funeral. As for You lost your pendant, don't look for me, I have never seen it."

"It's been several days..." Linde sighed.

"Well, it's been several days." The boy child responded.

"I'm really sorry just now, I didn't mean that." Linde explained, "My mother left me the pendant. I should have kept it. It would be a shame if I lost it. It can only be taken away by the bad guys who murdered and set fire... This can't blame others, valuable things will always be remembered. My big brother always wanted him before, but every time he asked for it. , Father will scold him fiercely."

"It turned out to be like this...I want to declare that the pendant is indeed not with me. I guarantee by the reputation of the mercenary group. Before this, I was an Elf Race girl. If you were sent here, you can ask her, maybe she saw you unconscious, so she put it away for you first." said the little boy.

"The girl of Elf Race? It should be Xilith!" Linde said silently.

"Yes! That's the name! I heard the head of the group called her before." The boy child said excitedly.

"Hey... it turned out to be her... now that I think about it, I really can’t help her. I had a bad temper with her before and I didn’t want to take care of her... it turned out to be She saved me." Thinking of this, Linde regretted saving, "By the way, Silith! Where is Silith and her? Where did she go?"

The boy laughed, he pretended to be an adult "It seems that the fairy girl is really interesting to you? She is really beautiful!"

"What are you trying to say?" Linde didn't understand.

"Love! That must be the power of love! Willing to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of ​​fire for a person, unswervingly until death, making people yearn for!" The little boy danced with joy.

Linde is a little bit confused.

"Tell you! When you were unconscious, she had an agreement with our head, she would go to the forest for our head to find our missing brother, and our head would give you the most for her. Good care, you must know that there is a shortage of medicines and medicines now. If you can sit here with full of energy like now, half of it is due to her, and the other half is due to me." The little boy said.

Hearing this, Linde felt an unspeakable touch in his heart. The emotion seemed so wonderful to him. Except for his mother, he used to think that Lelianna was the best to him. She was willing to lay down her life to save her, but at this moment Silith was also taking risks for him, and he felt warm in his heart.

"Hey! What do you want?"

The shout of the little boy brought Linde's thoughts back.

"Oh...I didn't think about anything." Linde said quickly, "By the way, how long has Silith been away, and when will she come back!"

"I really don't think about it. Clearly, but the elf girl has left about...three...four...five...a week. It is really worrying to think about it. All three cavalry teams disappeared without a trace, and the head of the group was alone on her. Look for it. It is said that it was a dirty old fogey line. He said to the group leader that it would be okay to let such an elf girl do it." The little boy child said.

"Dirty old man?" Linde's eyes kept turning, "That should be Lorringos great grandfather!"

"Maybe! Who cares What? It’s just that his white oak cane is pretty."

"What's next?" Linde asked.

"The elf girl has never come back, and there is no news about the cavalry. Later, even the group leader was recruited by the emperor Your Majesty's envoys, and most of the mercenary team was taken away, leaving only Those of us who can't fight very much guard the barracks." The little boy said, "As a result, the head of the group has not heard from it."

"Oh, that's it... Also... what's your name? ?" Linde asked.

"Oh, I finally asked my name, okay! My name is Hill, Hill Bran. What about you? Although I take care of you all day, I don’t even have your name. I know, the head of the team won't let us ask too much, it really is suffocating people." said the little boy child.

"In fact, it's nothing, my name is not mysterious, my name is Linde." Linde said.

"It's Linde? What's your last name?" asked the little boy.

"There is no surname, and we are not nobles...My family is the humblest kind." Linde said.

"I used to have a home before, and it can be regarded as a bit shameful in the local area, but later the home is gone." Hill smiled reluctantly.

"Why not?"

"They are all dead, killed by the enemy. Only me, wandering in the green wilderness, I was almost starving to death at that time, I happened to be rescued by the captain, and I followed him all the way, following his flattery stock, and have been following him until now. It should be said that my life is given by the captain, he is the one I always look up to, and I am him The most trustworthy servant." Hill's eyes looked at the dim tent, and his eyes had a maturity beyond age.

"Hill..." Linde whispered the other's name.

"So, Linde...I can understand how you feel when you lose your loved one, and I have experienced that emotion. The home destruction you have experienced is like the road I have traveled. "Hill's tone is a little low, and he seems to think of the sad things in the past, "Okay! Anyway, we who are alive must live well!"

"Well, thank you, Hill "Linde's child slightly smiled.

At this moment, a long horn sounded outside, followed by a burst of noise.

"Hurry up! The cavalry is back! Get ready to meet!"
