Juliana’s workshop Chapter 43: It’s time to say goodbye


  Time passed, and the night like ink disappeared, as if it had been diluted by water, slowly becoming lighter. It is still early for the sun to rise, but the sky is indeed beginning to brighten. However, in the forest of the dead, under the dense forest of branches and leaves, the light of the campfire is still needed to bring peace of mind to travelers, at least for the two children.

   As for the four people sitting on the other side—three men and one girl—it’s not like people who would feel uneasy without a campfire. Maybe add a depilatory dog ​​that obviously doesn’t need sleep, but always behaves very sleepy.

  By the bonfire, the four of them didn’t talk much, but the atmosphere was still harmonious.

   “Half of the night passed.” Olga said.

   “Midnight has passed, and the sky is a little brighter.” Padin went on, “But it’s still early before the real dawn.”

   Tours looked up at the sky. The sky was blocked by dense branches and leaves, but it did not prevent him from seeing the sky, but the sky became a bit fragmented, divided by branches and leaves. “Indeed, there is still a long time before the sunrise, and at our position, the sunrise is not visible, only the half-rising sun.” The sky is indeed no longer dark, and more light. The brightness is not high, but it makes people feel at ease. For Tours, it is better to go on the road at dawn, but he can’t like the fact that the sky will be bright, and he can’t tell why this is. .

   “The sky changes a little, and it makes people think that the night is going to pass, but this is just an illusion. This night is still long.” Lulunaka laughed. Like the three people sitting by the bonfire, she didn’t look a bit tired. The smile on her face was undiminished, and she looked brighter under the firelight.

   No one proposed to take a break. Everyone didn’t feel sleepy. Under the light of the fire, their complexion looked good. But the young girl sitting on the other side didn’t have that kind of patience. Julius has been repeating in the state of dozing and waking up, his head droops several times, and then a jerking spirit pulls up, and the whole body has a reaction.

   “Go to sleep when you’re sleepy,” Romyona said.

   Julius, whose head began to swing again, was startled by Romiuona’s voice, and raised her head suddenly, cheering up, “No, I’m not sleepy yet, I can sit for a while… You look really sleepy.” Julius said to Romeo Na.

  Romiona’s words, although the same lack of energy, at least looks better than Julius, and there is no such ugly state as Julius’s head keeps going up and down, like fishing. Like Julius, Romyona’s eyelids are also getting heavier, but she did not hold her knees like Julius, sitting with her chin on her knees, and squinting for a while if she feels sleepy. It’s not very effective, but it can restore a little energy anyway.

   As for Julius, he is like a child in the school who has not yet grown up. He is sleepy when he hears the teacher chanting like a scripture. His head swings back and forth, like a pendulum, and like a grass swaying in the wind. Even if he went to sleep directly, no one would say anything to him. It is normal for a child like him to need rest and sleep after nightfall, but he persisted.

   I was curious that Lulunaka’s situation was one reason, and the other reason was that Romyona didn’t find a place to sleep. Julius felt that she couldn’t lie down if Romeona hadn’t rested. Probably because you feel a little lonely when you just lie down, or is it for other reasons? Julius didn’t figure it out in his own heart, he only knew that he definitely didn’t want to go to bed earlier than Romeo Na. He probably didn’t realize it himself, it looked like he was fighting.

   The teenagers and girls here are looking at Lulunaka’s side with sleepiness and various thoughts. On Lulunaka’s side, the four people around the bonfire seemed to be in good spirits, without the tiredness of staying up late, or because it was still early in the morning, no one was sleepy yet. Olga and Padin have strong physiques, and they are naturally accustomed to being responsible for the night watch. Moreover, as fighters with superb martial arts, naturally they would not feel tired because they did not rest in the middle of the night. After all, they are not juvenile girls like Julius and Romeona who have just left the age of children.

   As for Lulunaka, no one except Tours would think she is a child. Appearance is very deceptive. Lulunaka, who looks like a girl, gives people the first impression of a girl who always smiles, but people who know her better will not think so.

   Although I don’t know Lulunaka, Tours can be sure of one thing, that is, Lulunaka is a strange and special girl. She is friendly, but also gives a sense of mystery.

   But Turs probably has no chance to learn more about Lulunaka. Although this rare encounter brought him very important help and a pleasant conversation, it was time for him to leave.

   “I’m afraid I’ve stayed here a bit longer.” Tours said. He moved his left arm. Except for some soreness and slight pain, the condition of his left arm is much better than before. . “Maybe it’s time to say goodbye.”

  Turs is not someone who doesn’t know good or bad. He didn’t plan to stay overnight. If he continues to stay to rest, it means he needs more time to return to King’s Castle, and it will also let Lulunaka These people are more involved with him-although he is not malicious, his current identity is a bit sensitive after all. If a soldier flees, if these innocent travelers are affected, he will feel uneasy. In case there are chasers hunting and killing the fleeing soldiers everywhere, and they happen to see Lulunaka helping their enemies, then Lulunaka and their fate may not be much better.

  Tuls learned from chatting that Lulu Naka and the others had set off from the King’s Castle northward and came to this neighborhood. Although it’s a bit strange why they want to go out of town in such an unstable time, Tours did get their help ~IndoMTL.com~ and also learned some recent developments in the city, which is a good thing for him.

   Olga said, “The King’s Castle is now very stable, there is no riot, no war, only the calm prayers of the residents, and the prayer bell that rings on time.”

  In King’s Castle, every member of the Double Eagle Empire is a devout believer under the banner of the Holy Spirit Church, and his belief in the God of Light has been maintained for thousands of years. For the residents, praying to crosses of various specifications when the prayer bell rings every day is a daily task, whether nobles or commoners. As long as this prayer is not broken, the King’s Fort is peaceful.

   But if one day, the prayer is no longer calm or disappears, it means that King Castle has experienced another disaster. Maybe it’s a civilian riot, maybe it’s an aggression by outsiders. Angry screams and painful screams will replace chanted prayers and become the main theme of King Fortress.

   In the King’s Fort, every time the bell of prayer stops, the Double Eagle Empire will decline once, just like an old man who is slowly walking towards death, and will never regain his youth.

  Turs can’t pay attention to such a huge thing. He only knows that he should return to the King’s Castle as soon as possible to protect his important people. He was just a small captain in the army, and he didn’t have any noble title. He was just a very ordinary civilian. He didn’t have the vision of those big men and couldn’t see much.

   Olga’s words gave Turs a lot of peace of mind. As long as the prayer bells in King’s Fort have not stopped, then King’s Fort is safe for the time being. And he hopes that this safety will continue until he returns to King’s Castle, until he is old and dead, and until his children and grandchildren can hear the bell, live and work in peace and contentment, without disaster.
