Shell, who had been relieved of his responsibilities as a lord, listened to Wind Whisper's suggestion and prepared to go to the border to complete the recruitment for the last time. When people saw that she had packed up, they thought that she was leaving the forest. They gathered in front of her residence and begged her not to leave.
"We really need you, Miss.”Feng Yu looked at the residents kneeling in front of him, feeling very uncomfortable. His eyes gradually became moist. The shell was even more indignant, but it could not speak.”
She had always treated Coloured Glass Forest as her home. Not only was this place charming, but it was also isolated from the rest of the world. No matter how turbulent and dangerous the outside world was, the forest was always the safest shelter. However, she did not have the ability to protect it. With its armed forces, the forest was destined to be driven by war, and the last paradise on earth was about to disappear.
When the shell walked out of the Coloured Glass Forest, a large number of residents were still following behind her. They had no intention of leaving at all. The shell was puzzled." That's all for sending you off. Please go back."”Unexpectedly, everyone fell to their knees with a thud and sobbed sadly. "Miss, we can't do without you!”"You-"
Are you loyal to the forest or to me alone?
Feng Yu also knelt down on one knee." Miss, you are the only master here." For you, we will all die loyal.”
Soon, the other lords heard the news and expressed their willingness to help the shell regain its position as a lord. They did not recognize Eagle Claw's status. The shell didn't respond. It only wanted to complete its last duty. If the Coloured Glass Forest could not be used, the southern coast would be a great choice. The new lord of the plains, Death Butterfly, would not reject her request.
There was still about half a day's journey from the recruit camp. There was nothing else along the way except for the wilderness. The dried branches were like the hands of hungry people, praying in vain to nature for a living. The only things that could survive in the dry cracks were all kinds of poisonous insects and rats. Coloured Glass Forest was different from other regions. It had a stable harvest every year, so the shell was not too clear about the situation outside. 'When I return, I must take in the refugees from the plains into the forest.' She thought. However, she soon came to her senses. She was no longer a lord and could no longer care about such things.
Wind Whisperer carried his bow and arrow as he escorted the shell. Suddenly, he realized something. He took down his longbow, nocked a glass arrow, and released the bowstring. The arrow circled around the dangerous storm and shot out. There was no target for him to shoot at, but he quickly put down his longbow. "Miss, are you hungry? I just hunted a deer, so I won't have to starve before I reach the recruit camp.”The shell was puzzled. I don't see any deer." Feng Yu smiled and bowed to invite her forward.
The two of them almost ran to their prey. Wind Whisper was afraid that it would be stolen by a Thief or Vulture. Sure enough, a little thieving brat had arrived a step earlier than them. He looked at the shell duo with an angry expression, which made Feng Yu find it funny.”The shell saw that he was covered in dirt, had messy hair, and was naked. He must be a poor person who had not eaten for a long time and needed food to satisfy his hunger. He said," Feng Yu, let him have it. I'm not hungry yet."”
" No need." The boy was also stubborn." You won. You can take this deer."”"Win?" Wind Whisper checked the dead deer's body. The transparent and beautiful glass arrow hit the deer's forehead and killed it. However, before that, there were many crude wooden arrows inserted near its vital points, but they did not cause fatal injuries. " Since you said so," Wind Whisper took out a knife and cut off a deer leg." This is for you, kid."”The boy didn't want it at first, but he was too hungry. He collapsed after taking a few steps, and the two had to stop to take care of him.
She took out her handkerchief and gave it to Feng Yu to help him clean the boy's body. The boy was young but had a strong body. It was no wonder that he could chase after the fast-moving deer in such an environment and keep shooting at its vital points. It was obvious that those wooden arrows were made by him. The shape of the arrows and the placement of the arrow feathers had a unique habit, which made Wind Whisper, who was an archer, quite interested.
As soon as the boy woke up, he grabbed the half-cooked deer leg and started eating. The shell was also very pleased to see him eating so happily. "Big brother, your archery skills are really exquisite. I chased that deer for a long time, but you killed it with one arrow.”Hearing this, Wind Whisper laughed." You're not bad either. One more arrow and that deer is yours now."”The two of them chatted so happily that they almost looked at the time. Three poles had passed, but there was still half a day to go. It was rare for Feng Yu to meet such a talented person. When it was time to part, he suddenly felt a little reluctant. "Where are you going next?"
"Keep hunting," he said."My friend's expecting a good meal.”What a good hunter, Wind Whisper thought.
The two of them quickened their pace and arrived at the recruit camp within the estimated time. The officer ran over with a smile and immediately bumped into the energy domain.
" Welcome, my lord." The officer also expressed his loyalty." No matter what happens in the forest, we will follow your orders.”He belonged to the plains, so he didn't need to listen to the shell. It seemed like the Death Butterfly had given him instructions. "But what kind of soldiers do you want? I can give you some suggestions."
" No need," the shell said with a smile." Please let the recruits line up.”
The shell had an energy field, so it was very easy to test the ability of the recruits. He only needed to slowly approach them. The one closest to the shell was the one with the highest ability. A few teams in a row did not have any good seedlings. Most of them stopped ten meters away. There were quite a few new recruits in the military camp. In addition, there were some delays on the way. It seemed that it would be impossible to test everyone in a day. "I thought that kid would be a soldier."”The shell had thought so too. The two of them had come into contact before, and the energy field was only about seven meters away from him. This was already very good for a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child. Mo was the child who surprised the shell the most back then. When she returned to the Green Zone to obtain some information, she went to Lion Head Castle once and almost exposed her identity in front of Yao Shou. He did not say anything else.
"In that case, let's end the inspection of one more team today.”The officer shouted and formed a square formation. The shell's eyes lit up as a boy entered his sight.
He stood six to seven meters away from her, stubborn and spirited. It could be seen that he was not eating well either, but he was still standing straight and did not look hungry at all. 'He's a good candidate,' Wind Whisper thought.'If I can't find that kid, he's not bad either.' The shell rested its finger on its chin, almost reaching out to touch him. Suddenly, it hesitated for a moment. Wind Whisper could not understand it either. Now was not the time to hesitate. They might miss out on a good seedling.
His gaze was not suitable for the Coloured Glass Forest. The shell stared at the two slightly fierce wolf eyes, and the boy raised his head slightly to return the favor. His gaze was very similar to an eagle's claw, so she was hesitant to make a decision. However, if he was a talent, she would only regret it if she missed it. "Have you made your decision?" Feng Yu urged.
"Hey! Who's coming, who's coming to help!"
The familiar voice made the shell shake. The head that popped out from the bushes was the boy they met on the road. Unexpectedly, he hunted another deer. The ordinary and fragile wooden arrow pierced through the deer's eyeball and brain, and the dark red arrowhead came out diagonally. Wind Whisper crossed his arms in satisfaction at the precise kill.
"It's him." The shell laughed.
That night, Alo set off to return to the place where he was born. "Where are the deer legs?" Wind Whisper saw him slaughtering a dead deer. "I gave it to my friend. Of course, he couldn't enjoy the best food alone.”Alo smiled brightly.
Shell and the others did not return to the Glazed Tile Palace. Instead, they stayed in the town at the outermost edge of the forest to train Alo. The people in the town loved shells very much, and no one had ever reported the hiding to Eagle Claw. When the Wind Whisperer duo went out, Shell had learned how to make bows from the craftsmen in the town. She was very talented and had learned all the unique skills of the craftsmen in the town in just three years. They had to admit that they were old.
However, Eagle Claw had committed many crimes in the past three years. If it wasn't for the fact that there was still a shell in Coloured Glass Forest, the lords would have long flattened this place.
When Alo grew up into a handsome young man, Feng Yu gave him a longbow. The longbow had a tough shape, and there were no patterns on the bow. The shell had spent all its energy on the functionality of the bow. Although it looked very ordinary, anyone who had held it would know that it was not simple. "This bow is called 'Demon Antelope', and it was personally made by the young miss.”Upon hearing this, Alo immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully accepted it.”
"Good!" Wind Whisper had been waiting for this sentence. He stared at Alo with his eagle-like sharp eyes." Eagle Claw has no way to seize my master's position. Coloured Glass Forest is in danger." For the safety of our master and the entire forest, we must take action.”
What happened next happened without the shell's knowledge. She only knew that one night, Aluo had come to look for her and only talked about some family matters.
"When I was a child," he said,"I saw you once. You're very beautiful and look the same age as me. At that time, I thought that it would be great if I could always see those emerald green eyes. At that time, I didn't know how to use the word 'bliss'. In my heart, I only had the words' good 'and' very good'.”As she spoke, she smiled shyly, and the shell also smiled. Her laughter was very pleasant to hear, like a doll tinkling under the blue sky, making people's hearts calm down. Aluo wanted to hear it a few more times, but he was going to Glass Palace soon, so he was a little reluctant. "Miss, I'm going out to train my willpower with Master Feng Yu. It might take a month before I can return. Please take care of yourself.”" Be careful," the shell said seriously." I'll wait for you."”
I will wait for you.
These words were so precious to a person who was about to complete a mission that might kill him.
In less than a month, Feng Yu and Alo both returned. However, the former's legs were crippled, and the latter was seriously injured. It didn't look like he had gone to asceticism at all. When they were carried into the shell's room, she was completely stunned. It was as if the whole world was slowly spinning. She immediately fainted, and when she woke up, she cried endlessly. Then, she fainted again.
Both of them survived, but Feng Yu could only be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Alo felt guilty." If only I could…" Feng Yu stopped him immediately." Let bygones be bygones."”
The biggest headache was still the shell. Eagle Claw was dead. Feng Yu and the others welcomed the return of the shell. However, her eyes would turn red when she saw Feng Yu's crippled legs, causing everyone to not dare to make any requests. "This is our master. Sometimes he's strong, but sometimes he's weak." So, Alo, you have to help her well.”
"Master, you?"”[How can I protect my lady as a warrior without legs?] You're different. You're stronger and younger than me. You'll definitely do better than me.”It would be a lie to say that he was unwilling. Feng Yu was only in his thirties, and a lot of his time had been wasted because of this. However, he did not regret what he had done. For a wise ruler, legs were not rare.
Aluo, who had become a reserve assistant leader, tried his best to persuade her, but the soft-hearted shell finally agreed. The doors of the Glazed Tile Palace would always be open for her. Many things had changed after returning to the position of Lord after so many years, especially time. The first century was about to end. However, what remained unchanged was the Glazed Tile Forest. They lived a peaceful and happy life. Because of the existence of the shells, even in the dangerous second century, they worked hard to persevere.
