"What are you talking about? You must be hungry. It's already cooked."
Arthur and George were deeply immersed in the fear of unknown secrets. It was not until a smell of fish spread throughout the cabin that they came back to their senses. The two looked at each other and buried the sudden awakening in their hearts.
"Thank you so much, Brynn. It smells so good. Arthur, go and bring it over. Didn't you see Brynn getting the bowl?"
Arthur hurriedly lifted the hot pot. Brynn was taking out a clean rag from the back of the hut. When she saw Arthur holding the pot in his hand without any care, Brynn couldn't help but exclaimed. George also
It was considered normal. After all, he had seen more incredible things. He just coughed twice to remind Arthur that his current behavior was somewhat beyond the scope of ordinary people.
Arthur understood George's intention and deliberately exaggerated and shouted that it was hot. He placed the small pot on the wooden table and kept blowing air on his fingers, but in fact his fingers were not even red.
After struggling for a while, since there were only two high-back chairs in the hut, the three of them decided to stand and taste the delicious fish soup and the potatoes that Brynn had at home. After being lightly cooked, they became the staple food.
Arthur had not eaten such delicious fish soup for a long time. Most of the time on the ship, he only had dry food and deep-sea fish to eat. The bitter Oxman deep-sea fish was really not to Arthur's taste. Arthur drank two of them in a row.
A bowl of fish soup with two whole potatoes, and the way he devoured it made Brynn chuckle.
"Brynn, what are you going to do next? Are you going to return to Elland Manor or stay in Sybil Town?" After Arthur finished drinking the fish soup, he felt much better and took the initiative to look at Brynn who looked at him from time to time.
Lin asked.
"I don't know. Mr. Erlan doesn't know when he will come back. Mr. Butler sent us away. I don't know when I will have the chance to go back. Maybe I will continue to stay in Sibyl Town."
Arthur nodded and didn't say much. Instead, George's eyes flashed.
"Miss Brynn, are you interested in living in a big city? I mean, Brighton City." What do you mean? Arthur and Brynn looked at George at the same time.
"Arthur, what do you think about letting Brynn go to the charity house?" George smiled and pointed around.
"What? (What!)" Arthur Breen said in surprise.
"What is a charity house?" Brynn turned her head and asked Arthur, but Arthur was lost in thought. He had to let George who made the suggestion explain. This is a good suggestion. The charity house now has Mrs. Lily and Katrin.
There is absolutely no problem with Na, Li Qi, and Brynn, but will Brynn agree?
"You mean, apart from Mr. Erlan, there is a place in Brighton City specifically for the adoption of children like us? There are several children in the same situation as me there? Are you serious, Mr. George?"
"Of course. In fact, Arthur and I are also there. We will go back if we have time. Mrs. Lily is very good to the children. You don't have to worry about that."
"Then, if Mr. Erlan comes back, can I continue to work?"
"This is natural. In fact, Arthur and I are both from the military, but it is enough to remember the kindness. Mrs. Lily just wants to give the children who have lost their home a new home." Brynn looked at her again.
Arthur, the corner of Arthur's mouth rose, and he agreed to George's proposal. "This is a good thing, Brynn, come with me, we will send you to Brighton City. We will leave Sybil Town today."
Brynn had nothing to hesitate about. The only nostalgia she had in Sybil Town was the concept of 'home', and a family without one was not enough to call it home.
"Can I go with you? Take me to Brighton City." Brynn whispered as she looked at George who was eating boiled potatoes again, and then quietly observed Arthur's reaction. Arthur's bright smile shone in Brynn's eyes.
"Of course, let's go back together."
...
At dusk, George rented a carriage from a merchant who was doing business between Sybil Town and Brighton City. The original plan was to ride back to Brighton City, but Jess's eyes could not judge the distance very well. After negotiation,
Livlan suggested using a carriage to return to Brighton City.
George specially bought Brynn a tan suitcase to carry a change of clothes and daily necessities, but even if Brynn placed all the clothes randomly, the twelve-inch suitcase was only one-third full.
Jie Lin showed special interest in the girl brought back by Arthur and George. Not only did she ask about Brynn's background, she was even extra attentive. George and Livlan didn't feel anything yet, but Arthur felt a sense of crisis, because
He clearly remembered that Jielin actually liked girls.
The journey back takes about a week, not only having to go around the Heath River, but also blocking the way in the Carmel Mountains. George, Livlan and Arthur are responsible for the driving.
The mood was completely different from when I set out. There was no sense of urgency, no tension, no fear and worry about uncertainty. Although the mission failed, I was lucky to survive in the face of something impossible. It was just that we were together at that time.
Now only Jie Lin and Jace were left. Arthur held the reins tightly. It was Buchington who taught him how to drive the carriage. But now, Arthur glanced at George beside him, who was looking up at the stars.
On the first golden moon night, George took the initiative to sit next to Arthur and leaned against the carriage in a daze.
He didn't even need to adjust the direction deliberately. There was a special trade road between Sibyl Town and Brighton City, so he only needed to follow the path.
"What are you thinking about, George?"
"Arthur...I don't know what's wrong with me. I always remember that we should have a companion." George spat out the wind tester roots in his mouth to the roadside. "You said before that you saw Savarant."
After killing the Heath Bear, I also understood that the Heath Bear in Oakley would definitely not be unharmed, but... was there another person who came out of the empty house with us at that time? I can always vaguely remember it.
I vaguely saw a figure, but I still couldn't determine who it was. There should be only eleven people in our sixth reconnaissance team, but I can always think of the existence of twelve people."
Arthur thought about it carefully, only to feel that the dizzy feeling before was back, and then his mind went blank, and he felt tired even when he opened his eyes. George noticed something was wrong with Arthur, took the reins from Arthur's hand, and anxiously
Asked: "What's going on? Arthur, are you okay?" Arthur supported his dizzy head, covered in sweat: "No...I can't remember, this is wrong, George...accept it with us.
There's something wrong with this mission, there's something...there's something going on..."
George's reaction was not as strong as Arthur's. He was helpless and grabbed Arthur to prevent him from falling off the horse. He kept shouting Jace's name into the carriage while trying to stop the carriage.
"No, it doesn't matter to me! Keep driving, George, it's just...it's just that there seems to be some force preventing me from remembering." George still couldn't stop worrying. Just as Jace opened the door and leaned out to ask about the situation, George simply stopped.
After getting off the carriage, Livlan and Jace came outside the carriage and told them about the illusion that appeared in his memories.
"You mean, there were originally twelve people in our reconnaissance team? No, I'm sure there were only eleven people. Look at the form I got from the military, there were only eleven people. Except for me being an elf, there was no one.
Any foreigner." Livlan confirmed several times and handed a piece of information to George. George looked at it carefully and found that he didn't see any unfamiliar or other existence.
What's going on? Arthur gritted his teeth, "I can barely feel the existence of another person, but his sense of existence is never high. It's like he wants to deliberately suppress the traces of his own existence..."
Jess rubbed his chin and said to George: "Originally, I thought it was because you were hit and had mental problems, resulting in fantasy memories, but now even Arthur can remember it. It seems to be real. From a medical point of view, I
I can't give you any advice, but from a theological perspective, there is an old god from the Western Continent who indeed has such ability in the records..."
"The God of Wisdom, Metis, is actually related to him by another god from the Western Continent, but I think from memory, it should be the masterpiece left behind by him."
