"!"

Looking at the tree trunk approaching quickly, Gabriel couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

But at the critical moment, the big hand reaching out from behind firmly grasped his collar, saving him from disfigurement.

Under the tug of his big hand, Gabriel's eyes moved away from the tree trunk little by little, and his numb legs and feet also regained consciousness due to the surge of blood just now.

When his feet were firmly planted on the ground, the boy gasped suddenly, but when he looked back, the pulling feeling at the collar on his back suddenly disappeared.

When he turned around and looked back, he could only see Riel beside him with a concerned look in his eyes.

And Julian was sitting by the fire in the distance, taking out a piece of freshly roasted meat root and chewing it silently.

"Is it you?"

The boy looked at Riel, who shook her head slightly and pointed to Julian who was not far away with her eyes. She frowned slightly. In her eyes, Gabrielle saw a deep shock.

Are you scared by this speed?

But this is not the true strength of this gentleman!

Recalling the magic battle in the remote valley last night, Gabrielle felt that she should find a time to talk to Riel and try to get her to get forgiveness from Mr. Julian as soon as possible.

That gentleman... Although Gabriel had only been in contact with him for a short period of time, he was able to figure out some of the other person's habits and temperament from this period of contact.

He has extremely powerful strength, but he is always silent and seldom talks. But once he gets angry and uses his hands, he is ruthless and decisive, and his moves can kill people.

Such an impression could easily remind the boy of a certain profession. Combined with the other person's former military background, Gabriel made up his mind————

"Mr. Julian..." Gabriel looked at Julian beside the fire and slowly said: "You..."

"..." The boy wanted to say something to win forgiveness for his best friend.

But for some reason, after seeing Julian's cold face, those words seemed to have encountered the torrent of the dam, and were stuck in the throat, unable to spit them out, let alone swallow them.

Only this time, he didn't speak, but Julian beside the fire spoke first:

"Sit over here," he put down the wooden stick in his hand, reached out again and took out a new skewer from the fire. He gently turned the skewer under the dim firelight and looked at the fresh and tender meat skewers.

Li An was silent for a moment and spoke softly:

“Medium-rare barbecue with just the right flavor.”

"You...you?" Gabriel was stunned. His eyes followed Julian's rotating fingers and looked at the meat skewers and then back to Julian. There was a little uncertainty in his words.

Riel, who was on the side, seemed to have heard something. He took Gabriel's hand and pulled him to sit on the wooden pillar next to the fire before the boy could react.

"You forgive me, right!?"

Across a fire, the light in Ruier's eyes was very bright,

This was the first time she bowed her head to someone other than her mother, admitted her mistakes and put her dignity aside.

Being forgiven made this young girl feel good. She let go of the hand of the boy who was still a little confused. Ruier sniffed and looked around excitedly at the kebabs next to the fire. Soon she

He picked out two skewers of meat that were browned and put one into the boy's hand, while the other couldn't wait to put it into his mouth.

"Wow!"

"Gabri, when did your barbecue skills become so good! This skewer of grilled rabbit is really the most delicious... delicious thing I have ever tasted!"

After saying several words in a row, the blonde girl's face was filled with an expression of enjoyment, and she solved her string in three strokes.

Rui Er reached out and took another bunch and couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth.

"Eat as much as you like. Mr. Julian has also caught a lot of prey!"

Listening to his best friend's constant compliments, and looking at her eyebrows that seemed to be raised to the sky, Gabriel had a faint smile on his face, stuffed his string into Riel, and said: "

Mr. Julian also caught a lot of prey!"

But his eyes, when no one noticed, glanced at the silent Julian, and secretly muttered in his heart: "Really...have you forgiven me?"

“…”

Have you really forgiven me?

"How is that possible!"

After having had enough wine and food, Julian leaned against a twig as delicate as a willow tree and looked at the bright moon above his head. This voice rang in Julian's heart.

A meeting full of coincidences, a life-and-death fight amid misunderstandings,

That twelve-year-old girl's body contained terrifying power. Under the blessing of anger, no matter it was the metal wings flying in the sky or the hot magma pouring out of the ground, ordinary people could not easily resist it.

If the person she was facing was not Julian, a man whose experience and strength had been tempered many times, Julian might have been torn to pieces in the attic of the tower!

How can such hatred be easily resolved with a light apology and a bow?

Julian knew this, and so did the blond girl.

But after a period of silence, the two of them seemed to have chosen to make a tacit agreement.

At this point, Julian didn't know the other party's considerations, but he knew that the only way in front of him was forgiveness————

What can I do if I don’t forgive? Do I really want to kill her?

If time went back to the morning, to the valley engulfed by magma, Julian might not hesitate.

But when the boy named Gabriel shows up,

When he understood everything from his story, Julian could no longer take action.

after all,

"This is also a poor girl..."

After entering the academy at the age of six, he was trained as a weapon. During the six years in the academy, he was used as an experiment by a mysterious society and injected with countless magic runes.

When he heard Riel telling this incident personally, Julian couldn't believe his ears, but when he saw the terrifying markings all over his body, he could only choose to believe it.

Twelve years old is such a good time,

Julian was twelve years old, running in the fields in the countryside, carefree all day long;

But when Rui Er was twelve years old, she had to face cruel and bloody truths one after another, the resentful ghost who died because of her, and... her mother who didn't want to rest in peace.

Looking at the bright moon, I slowly brought myself into the story,

At this moment, Julian felt a slight pity for this twelve-year-old girl.

Is she evil?

Just because of his anger, he went on a killing spree and hurt many innocent people.

To the former Julian, such a person might have been regarded as an evil that needed to be eradicated and he would take action without hesitation;

But now...he suddenly felt a little emotional:

Maybe what separates evil and good is not a deep ravine as imagined, but a thin piece of paper.

Let countless thoughts flow in your heart and grow, slowly sprouting in the silent night.
