The Song of Gendaya

Linde panted violently and knelt down on the sand. He stared at the corpse of the monster lying in a pool of blood, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Did I do this? I killed it? I killed this harmful monster?" Linde murmured to himself, his voice was extremely subtle, so subtle that only he could hear it. arrive.

His clothes have long been soaked in sweat, and he is now sticking to his body coldly, and he can't help but shiver in the cold night wind.

At this moment, a companion’s weak congratulations came from his ear: "Linde! You did it. You are really amazing. You killed the nasty monster in two or three. , Look at your fragile appearance, didn't expect you are deeply hidden, you are actually an expert with a sword!"

A expert with a sword? Do I really know how to use a sword? Linde thought so.

He thought of his partner again, so he looked in the direction of the sound, and Sarah was leaning on a small mound not far from him, where the dark side could not be covered by moonlight. , Linde couldn't see Saru's expression at the moment.

"Saru, don't talk about me yet. How is your injury? I have to help you bandage it quickly. If the wound becomes pus, it will be difficult to handle."

Now, Linde stood up strenuously. At this moment, he felt sore and his bones fell apart.

The previous lifeless flight and high tension exhausted almost all of his physical strength. An irresistible force was like a pair of invisible hands pulling him down.

He had to use the silver sword in his hand as a crutch so that he could move forward tremblingly.

Linde suddenly thought of the owner of the silver sword, so he raised his head and looked at the mound not far away. It was already empty there, only a lonely dust and fog wandering in the night sky.

"Where is that person? Where did he go?" Linde suddenly felt suspicious.

He stopped, turned around and looked around, but still did not find any trace of the stranger.

"Linde, what are you looking for?" Saru asked.

"Well...that...what about the one who helped us?"

"He is gone...he turned and left when you killed the scarlet ghost. I don't even need his own sword."

Why did he leave so anxiously? This is obviously a good sword, although it has a slight flaw, Linde is a little confused about it. But it is a pity that a person who has helped himself has not thanked him face to face.

"Tell me, which direction did he go?" Linde asked anxiously.

"Go...behave...and another person going north..." Salu replied helplessly.

"I...I will chase him!"

An unspeakable impulse surged into the boy's heart, and he looked up at the Ice Dragon seat in the North Sky.

"Don’t waste your effort! Linde, you can’t catch up with him, he looks like a stranger and acts like a wind, and they are used to being alone and don’t like to be with people. Friends." Said Salu, "Besides, it is the duty of every traveler to help strangers in wasteland, just like I saved you before."

"That...then this What to do with the sword?" Linde looked at the silver sword in his hand. It was not like an ordinary weapon. It seemed to contain some indescribable power.

"I guess it was the master of the sword who saw your Sword Art outstanding, and I wanted to leave it to you!" Saru smiled slightly, "If this is Goddess's arrangement, I believe that sooner or later you and the master of the sword will meet Face again."

"I hope so, then I will return the sword to him intact." Linde said silently, looking at the starry northern sky.

"Okay, I understand your intentions! Also don't stand stupidly, Linde...Come, come and sit with me!" Saru greeted, "Come and help me see the wound... …The blood won’t flow, but you still have to pack it!"

"Okay."

Linde promised to come and sit next to Salu, and he tore it open. The blood-stained sleeves completely exposed the injured left arm.

The wound seems to be deeper than imagined. Linde can already see the muscles under the skin and the beating blood vessels. The blood stains on the incision have long been solidified, and there is no obvious bleeding.

Linde helped father deal with trauma before, but in an environment lacking medical care and medicine, he could only tore off a piece of cloth from his body and wrapped it hastily on him.

As for what will happen in the future, it can only depend on Saru's own destiny.

"Thank you, Linde." Sale said, looking at the boy who was bandaging himself.

"No, Saru, I should thank you... In addition, I also want to apologize to you. If it weren't for me, I'm afraid you won't have so much trouble now." Linde said .

"Where is this? I have said many times before. It is reasonable for travelers to help each other."

"Is it really supposed to be?" Linde looked thoughtful and said.

It didn't take long before he had bandaged the wound for his partner, but the blood stains quickly soaked the cloth, but there was really no way.

There is no food and no water in the big wasteland. Staying here for a long time is just waiting for death.

They must hurry up and stay away from this Sea of ​​Bitterness.

But sleepiness and hunger accompany them like a shadow, and every step forward is so difficult. The lack of food can still persist, but lack of water is the biggest threat to them.

Thinking of this, Linde licked his chapped lips. No matter what, proper rest is better than exhaustion.

So he also followed the example of Saru, leaning against the swelling sand, lying side by side with his companions, and he looked at the starry night sky with fascination.

"Saru..." He whispered the other person's name.

"Hmm..." Saru didn't look towards him, but just responded softly, "If you have something to say! It's not good to hold anything in your heart, bards sometimes choose to listen to help others. End."

Linde sighed slightly and closed his eyes slightly.

"You may not know what I have encountered before. In Laurent Town, I was called a bane or a bad person, and people were afraid to avoid me. As long as I appeared, it was always Disasters continue... this is not what I want. I don’t want to be called a bane or a bad person, and I don’t want people around me to be in a disaster. But the disasters still follow me, those who treat me best. Both died because of me...My father, mother...Lelianna...Later, Silith and Mr. Lorringues also committed dangers because of me, and Captain Karat wanted to protect me and his mercenary group. I also suffered heavy losses, and many people sacrificed meaninglessly...Saru, you say me..."

Linde sat up a little excited at this point, there is too much mental stasis in the heart I can't vent, and there are too many distresses I want to tell people.

Saru did not respond, lightly snoring sounded, he was too tired, and fell asleep deeply on the wasteland where the sky was full of stars.

"Hey...Saru...You are already asleep...Sleep so peacefully, I wish good dreams be with you!" Linde murmured.

Linde walked down again, closing his eyes. None of those familiar figures appeared this time, and Sleeping God quickly took him away.

This night, he slept peacefully, and the nightmare didn't find him again.

……

Before dawn, the two of them moved towards pink Zhaoxia and started a new journey.

Linde doesn't know why Saru suddenly changed his mind. He just told Linde that there were still unfinished things to do in the north, and that he had to go with Linde together.

But along the way, Linde clearly felt that Saru's condition was not very good. He bowed his head and said nothing, but kept his head down. Linde thinks this may be related to the injury on his arm, and the lack of food and water is also a fatal threat to him.

During this period, he only said one thing to Linde, that is, it is necessary to find a small water source in the north, where replenishment is a crucial part of whether they can get out of wasteland smoothly.

They walked along the established route Towards the Sun in the rising direction. They quickly found the old canal road when they came, and continued along the old road to the northeast, until they passed a ten thousand Zhang gully, another open area appeared.

The Yimapingchuan in front of me has disappeared and is full of barren yellow sand. There was gradually more yellow or light green vegetation on the ground, which gave Linde an indescribable joy.

"Look! Saru! There is grass here...that...what is that name! I can't name it!" Linde exclaimed excitedly.

But he didn't hear his companion's response, he turned around questioningly, and it was empty.

"Saru?" Linde's delighted face froze suddenly.

Salu's heart tightened, and a thunderbolt hit her face. His body is stiff, I'm afraid...I'm afraid they will have separated at some point.

"Saru! Saru!"

Linde called out his companion's name loudly, but did not get a response, only the ethereal voice echoed in the boundless sky.

"Blame me, I kept him behind!" Linde beat his chest desperately, and all the regret and self-blame came to his heart at once.

Recalling the scene when we set off early in the morning, Saru’s face was indeed ugly, as white as paper. At that time Linde just thought it was a performance of not having a meal, and didn’t care too much. Who would have thought The companion who was not far behind him lost his trace.

Thinking of this, Linde felt a kind of unspeakable sadness in her heart.

"No! I'm going back to find him! I can't leave him here alone!"

Just when the teenager made up his mind to turn back, he suddenly felt the ground It was shaking slightly, and the horse's neighing could be faintly heard.

He turned his head and looked at the place where he was walking, and saw the low slope sand billowing behind him, and a blue-bottomed white bald eagle battle flag appeared there.

"It's them!" Linde cry out in surprise.
