It's late at night...

There are no stars in the night sky in the Nimgefu area, and there is still only the huge golden canopy that is about to cover the entire sky.

At this time, it was emitting a faint golden light, replacing the original role of the stars, providing extremely faint lighting for the night of this world.

And at this moment, a witch riding on the back of a wildebeest, wearing a cloak and a hood, was silently staring at a certain location in the distant woodland on a hillside.

Her motionless thing seemed to be completely integrated into the night, and only the wildebeest under her crotch occasionally shakes her hair or shakes her tail from time to time, indicating that she and her mount are a living creature, not a false shadow.

And if a bad little girl is here, maybe she will definitely exclaim, and then order a certain bear Tibers to take her down with one claw, then press it to the ground and take off the other person's pants and slap them hard on the butt?

That's right!

The witch who was riding on the wilderness horse and looking into the woodland in the distance was not anyone. It was the witch "Melina" who secretly used teleportation spells while Anne was sleeping last night and the other party wanted to send it out, but in the end, the ugly wildebeest "Torret" who was not welcomed and despised.

Of course, in the eyes of a bad little girl, it is not a wildebeest or a spirit horse at all. It is a complete cow!

Yes, it's just a cow, because it has horns and looks like that kind of yak!?

Anyway, no matter whether it is or not, as long as a bad little girl says it is a cow, then it is a cow. If it is not, it will be useless if anyone advises you!

However, Melina was not here to deliver cattle tonight...

Now she was silently observing the front, and she knew that there was the camp of the powerful big tree guard and his outpost soldiers.

At this moment, she vaguely saw and heard: a bad little girl was inside, and seemed to be in a group with the soldiers responsible for the guards in front of this Nimgford forest, and were playing and playing by the bonfire in the middle of the camp, as if she was holding a celebration or talking about an interesting story?

“…”

To be honest, Melina couldn't figure out why the little girl didn't fight with the big tree guards and the soldiers responsible for blocking and intercepting the fading ones.

Originally, Melina thought that as long as she teleports the little girl to the guidance place and lets the white mask guide a little, the other party will definitely have a conflict with the big tree guards and have to go on the path she has reserved for the other party.

But now, what is happening and has happened does not seem to be what she imagined and booked before?

Anyway!

Now what she saw and heard was all seriously inconsistent with her original plan!

She didn't know what was going on during this period, nor did she know why it turned out like this, nor did she know how she should change or guide her. So she could do nothing except silently hiding herself in the darkness and continuing to observe carefully.

'Hahaha……'

'Ha ha……'

‘Come again!’

‘I don’t believe it…’

“…”

In the distance, the camp suddenly burst into loud laughter and bursts of laughter, as if the atmosphere suddenly became warm? And that kind of thing was obviously something Melina had never seen in these years, so her brow hidden in her hood couldn't help but frown.

However, she did not intend to approach or interfere easily, so she continued to stay in place, continued to ride on her Lingmatoret, and silently observed the situation in the camp in the distance.

perhaps……

She wanted to figure out what was happening from the laughter and joy that came faintly?

But no matter what she wanted to do or was planning something, it would not stop the laughter and joy of the soldiers and some bad little girl in the dilapidated camp at this time.

The night gradually became deeper...

for a long time……

Until the dew gradually wet the cloak on Melina's body, until the campfire in the distance gradually faded, until the rare sensation continued again, the witch Melina did not move again.

“…”

I don't know how long it took until I saw that there was no sound in the camp, until the soldiers were asleep, and until the sentries on duty at the camp gate changed their posts again, Melina slowly lowered her head and touched the dewy hair on the neck of the Lingmatorett under her.

"Let's go."

"Torret, we have a chance."

"It should be..."

Finally, he looked at the camp in the distance, and then the witch Melina reached out and patted Lingmatorett's neck.

'hiss……'

Immediately afterwards, the spiritual horse, who was human and seemed to have high intelligence, shook its neck and whispered softly, then raised its legs and walked slowly down the hill with a light walk.

Not long after, the man and horse who did not sleep at night completely disappeared into the wilderness of Nimgefu, and I don’t know where it was going.

...

The next day.

The clouds in the sky gradually became brighter, and when the outline of the golden tree in the distance became clearer, and when the earth was illuminated by the light again, a bad little girl finally appeared at the door of the woodland outpost camp and was about to say goodbye to the new uncles and sisters.

"Hey!"

(*^▽^*)

"Uncle Dashu, and all the uncles, aunts and sisters, I'm very happy to know you. They're going to play by themselves!"

?(￣??)???

"Goodbye!"

ヾ(￣▽￣)Bye~Bye~

"ha!"

?(?)?

After saying that, a little girl who stayed in this barracks for one night and had a barbecue meal. The first time she had eaten the kind of terrible goat in the Nimgfur wilderness, she took her bear and left with her long under the gaze and farewell of a large tree guard and a group of front-line sentry soldiers.

That's right!

Last night, I played and held a bonfire party with these soldiers, uncles, aunts and sisters in this camp, and sang and danced until midnight. Of course, it was Queen Anne.

Moreover, through last night's play, she quickly got to know each other with these uncles, aunts and sisters who had not returned home for many years, and told them a lot of stories and brought them a lot of happiness. This is the reason why they came to see her off at the camp gate the next day.

"Anne!"

"Be careful all the way!"

"Stonville City is not a good place. Remember, don't stay there for too long, don't cause trouble. Go home quickly after having enough fun?"

After looking at the general beside him, the big tree guard who had put on the whole set of armor again, seeing that the other party had no intention of speaking, the deputy general who had not shaved his beard and looked like a black Zhang Fei waved and spoke to him.

"I understand!"

ヾ(^▽^*)))

"You guys go back to work quickly, so they won't cause trouble!"

???(?)?????

After saying that, Anne jumped to the north of the forest without waiting for the other party to say something, and soon disappeared into the dense forest of Nimgford.

“…”

The head of the camp, the guard of the big tree, still did not speak.

He was tall and just watched the little girl who had been stranded in their camp for one night and brought them a lot of joy and warmth with songs and certain impossible stories.

Although he was reluctant to let the other party leave and go to the increasingly crazy Stoneville City, there was no way. They had their responsibilities and the other party had their lives. In this increasingly worse world, they could not change anything.

Whether it is their own destiny, the country or even the whole world, or the safety of that little girl, they can't change anything or protect it!

After all, they are just some small people and pawns...

For example, they have been performing the task of intercepting faded people at the Nimgfur wilderness outpost for many years, but until today, no one, any support or any new orders have arrived, leaving them wandering here like a group of walking dead, like the kind of "birthless people".

If the little girl hadn't injected new vitality into their camp last night and brought them joy and laughter, I'm afraid they wouldn't know why they and others were still here, or even why they were still alive?

But now, they seem to be awake again...

Although this world on the verge of destruction is still getting worse, more ridiculous, more ignorant and chaotic, no matter what, last night, they all saw that there is something worthy of their protection in this world, that is, the meaning of their continued duty here.

That was their last duty. Even if they died, they would not regret it, but it was not just because they even forgot about the bullshit order they issued in which year!

"General!"

"you……"

"Where did you find that little girl?"

After seeing Annie completely disappear, for a long time, the deputy general who was nicknamed "Black Zhang Fei" turned his head and asked the tall tree guard beside him.

"Before!"

“The place where fading people are haunted!”

The guard of the big tree did not hide it, and turned his head to look at a certain wilderness.

There was the area where these people asked for patrol and alert. They had been on duty here for countless years. Later, he would still step on his divine war horse that had also lost its blessing, carry his golden halberd to patrol the place, and kill any faded person who entered his vision.

"ah……"

"Why did she show up there?"
