Wright walks slowly in the ruins of these collapse destruction, has blown the wilderness from the southern wind, blows is trampled the destruction the wheat field, insufflated this sores all over the eye place, in the wind did not have bloody and smell of burning down, but was having one type moist and sweet-- this indicates that summer rain will quickly possibly arrive.
After the rainfall, the vegetation will sprout, in the destruction paddies will also grow the new shoot, the nature will quickly always restore the vitality compared with human, but this set on fire to burn down the village that by the aristocrat routed troop, does not know when can be reconstructed.
This small team does not come for the battlefield cleanup, Wright and his new comrades-in-arms follow orders to go to Horsman base camp from the Kant area, replaces that side medical personnel, passed by this stretch of ruins is accidentally, the team will not stay here too for a long time, Wright knows this, but he hopes that is held a time small purification ceremony for this village-- is also completely completely he as the Priest responsibility.
After winning the approval of squad commander, he arrived at the village ruins center, here has a collapse long room, possibly was the place that the villager assembled, the room is burnt down, the plank and house beam of burn buried like one group of confused deadwoods between the shatter soil and crushed stone, for supporting thin beam of roof resembled the skin and bones the strange body to point at the deep blue sky.
But by room, disposed water well.
Wright discovers from the ruins also calculates together the neat tile, and places by it the water well, he on but actually some clear water in tile, has put several small wild flowers by the tile, afterward he fishes out one section from the bosom already only the remaining thumb long white candles, places behind it the tile, to symbolize Holy Light.
After waiting for the prepare all these, he has rubbed the finger above the candle gently.
Occurs without anything, tiny bit Holy Light has not appeared.
Wright receives to reach behind the back silently, fishes out priming apparatus from the bosom-- an exquisite magic installment, has the fire element rune sheet copper and a small storage demon crystal with two pieces of portrays makes-- he approaches the candle the priming apparatus, presses the switch, before the rune sheet copper emits the red light immediately, ignited the candlewick.
„Road that wish Holy Light to shelter you to go forward...... No longer is trapped in cold and dark...... Hope your souls peaceful...... Henceforth again not hunger and misery......”
Wright read the praying word in a soft voice, afterward bent down to extinguish the candle, but before received the candle, the split vision of his corner of the eye saw by among suddenly the water well weeds calmly was lying down the equally familiar thing.
That is a iron badge, only then the hazel size, its above has the symbol of ring and light beam, the edge can see for putting on the iron hoop of leather belt or silk thread-- this is a Holy Light badge, hangs on chest armor of Holy See knight.
Wright has picked up that badge, calmly visits on it the representative Holy Light Church symbol.
He has remembered suddenly, in aristocrat allied armies has Priest from Holy Spirit Plain and Priest, even the Holy See knights support.
He has turned around, looks that had been burnt down the long room, in the ruins of long room, he induced the mana fluctuation of that surviving finally indistinctly, that was the aura that Holy Light left behind.
The Holy Light symbol of that losing was pinched by Wright in the hand, the little distortion and convolution get up.
But at this time, a very slight sound spread to this Priest ear suddenly, has brought to his attention instantaneously.
That is very short and very slight sound, falls like a small branch on the ground is ordinary, a lithe rabbit has run from the lawn the sound perhaps compares that more obvious, but Wright noted the sound of this difference, he following the sound seeks immediately-- by that collapse destruction long room, he back and forth looked many.
Finally, he had discovered finally by the lap that the wood/blockhead of soil crushed stone and burn covers, as well as fixes an iron hoop on lap.
Wright conveniently throws several big stones and woods one side, then a hand held the iron hoop on lap, makes an effort, then lifts the lap-- in the lap following darkness, he saw several pairs are full of the panic-stricken eye.
„Here has the survivor!”
The soldiers then gather quickly, after several fully-armed soldiers appear, in the cave these panic-stricken common people also finally have no alternative walked, Wright counted the number in side, everybody altogether had 17 people.
These people in rags, emaciated, because of long time does not see the sunlight, but thin and pale exceptionally, they leaves after the aristocrat soldier have possibly hidden in the cave, at this moment weak stands is using energy, can only lean on to gather mutually a small pile, looks at the present strange soldiers with the frightened look.
A fight soldier from opening the cave mouth jumps, a moment later this soldier crawled following the ladder: „Below also three-- died, needs the person to help to lift.”
The squad commanders told that other soldier gets down the help, he arrives in front of these survivors: „Are you person in this village? Remaining you?”
The survivors have being frightened expression to look at each other in blank dismay, some people shake the head again and again, some people are hesitating the nod, some people dull are standing, as if has not understood the words of commander from the start.
„First takes some food and water,” commander sighed, turns head to tell that person, „do not take the dried meat, they will possibly choke themselves.”
Food was brought quickly, however that several people actually fill with the alert and doubts look, they are swallowing the saliva, actually nobody dares to go forward, forces in food until the soldiers their hands, they determined that these things are really eat to oneself.
After the first person food forces in the mouth, other people also immediately wolf down-- Wright can feel, swallows in the stomach along with food, these people finally have also been short of such faint trace alert to the present soldiers.
Although they were still very anxious.
„Are you person in this village?” After these people restored some stamina slightly, Wright arrives among them, asked with as far as possible gentle tone, „have you hidden in the cave? In the village also has other cave?”
Several villagers a little dread look at the Wright tall figure, but the person opened the mouth finally: „We are...... Not others......”
Then the person of this opens the mouth has referred to behind cave, has referred to the surrounding person: „Our these.”
„We are the Duke Gawain Cecil armies,” squad commanders said in side, „does not need to be afraid, you were safe.”
However the villagers probably have not understood completely had not responded to the words of squad commander equally, and dreads looks the melt that these soldier waists wear cuts the sword.
„The Cecil army is different from other army, we do not snatch the grain,” squad commanders know certainly that what these villagers are dreading, „is who burnt down the village? Kang Sike Viscount knight? Carroll Viscount person? Other aristocrat?”
The villagers when hear these given names to tremble, actually nobody dares directly to reply that squad the issue of commander, as if after for fear that here opens the mouth , a revolution of date will then be hung to death on the topping cheat general, but after several seconds of type, there is a clear sound to open the mouth harebrainedly: „Is wrapping the knight of white robe......”
What opens the mouth is a child, from the sound judgment should be a girl, but she just told only half, nearby Sir fast has then covered this child's mouth, lets her remaining words can only turn ambiguously wū wū sound.
The Wright's squatting lower part of the body before this child, and waving makes nearby Sir make way, he looks at this child's eyes-- that is an especially bright big eye, although the little girl on the unattractive, rough dry skin even also has the big piece freckle, as if the weed was equally withered the disorderly hair also to cover her one-fourth faces, the big eye that but that pair revealed from the chaotic hair especially was been profound the impression.
Wright looks at that eye, one word at a time asked: „The knight of white robe-- are they the knights in church?”
The little girls are shook the head first, is hesitating nod: „I do not know...... But their side also has Priest......”
In the survivors some people could not bear finally, sobs in a low voice: „We have handed over the grain...... Has handed over the grain......”
Wright knows that this seems like has not had the words of tail is any meaning.
They have handed over grain--, when the aristocrat allied armies dispatch troops into battle to go to battle, thinks that common people in each piece of territory for this reason will contribute the grain belongings to act as the military provisions, the aristocrats will take „us to dispatch troops to protect you” levy these things for the origin, but many common people easily will also believe these views( even if, because did not believe also meaningless, right to speak in feudal lord hand), perhaps until grabbed the village from the aristocrat soldier of frontline rout, set on fire to burn down the house time, they also did do not understand that exactly had anything.
Even to the present, saw that the Cecil person appears before them, their also few people think at present before these „stranger” is, with person who feudal lord Lord goes to war, even if has thought that they will not have any response, they will only sigh woefully oneself misfortune, and dreads aristocrat Lord, knight Lord as well as the sword and magic staff in soldiers hand, but above this, more complex interest relations, are they do not think clearly.
They can think that only, before is, „has handed over grain”.
It seems like ignorant, but ignorant back is ignorant, the ignorant back is numb.
The soldier of going village peripheral nosing came back, they were at outside the village in a not far away earth pit to discover dozens corpses.
So many corpses want to cremate in a short time thoroughly are not easy, the fuel oils that the team carries are insufficient, the nearby could not find enough combustion, the squad commanders can only order to keep the earth pit these corpses, emergency burial-- together with three corpse same places that found from the cave.
After these matters complete, Wright had found the commander: „I want to lead that several people to Cecil-- at least delivers to that side the frontline camp, there some people can escort the south side to go them.”
Wright cannot put down that several survivors-- their homeland had been destroyed, does not have food and drugs, moreover now the early summer, replies other energetic wilderness wolves and ferocious beast is loafing in the wilderness, does not have the protection of village railing and house and lights, perhaps several weaponless villagers live in the wilderness are about three days, here after all is not Cecil, the danger in wilderness is very big.
„We must report within the given time, this is the discipline of army,” commander understands certainly Wright's thoughts, but he must stress that concealed issue, „these common people were too weak, the strength in a short time not having hurried along, takes them, we will definitely delay.”
Wright is unable to refute, but squad commanders then said after 2-3 seconds: „If you want, I can leave behind several soldiers to you, I bring the medical treatment and nursing group to go to the camp that side registration first, you lead these people to follow in behind-- this conforms to the discipline.”
„Good, I do not have the issue,” Wright complies very much happily, afterward serious said, „moreover I have a suggestion, Team leader-- receives the aristocrat routed troop to grab like, the survivor hides villages and small towns perhaps more than one that or flees and becomes separated, we should report the situation, then found these places as far as possible, saves some people.”
„Relax,” squad commanders nodded, „I will report.”
