When he took Erica and the newly-known little girl Anne to the yard in front of the blacksmith Gott's house, before he could even greet everyone for breakfast, Rickett was surprised to find:

Gus, who came back first, entered the warehouse of Gote, and began to pick out the armor and various weapons that were densely arranged like the military weapon warehouse under the introduction of the blacksmith Gote?

"Gus?"

"You are..."

"strangeness!"

"Why are there so many weapons and armor here?"

He first asked Gus subconsciously, and then Rickett exclaimed and looked around and asked in disbelief.

It has been a while since he came here with Gus and Cascarlett to take refuge and recuperate. However, this was the first time he discovered that Gott actually had such a weapon and equipment library that could arm at least hundreds of warriors!

“…”

Gus didn't answer, he just wandered silently around this house that was no worse than the average military logistics arsenal.

"Of course there are so many!"

"My dad was a famous blacksmith in the city before. He used to help the lord build swords and armor!"

"There are also bows, cannons, spurs and hooves."

"In fact, he can beat everything, he is a genius!"

Erica, who walked in with Rickett, hurriedly said with her small breasts proudly.

“??”

"Anne?"

"Are you hungry?"

Then, Erica, who was about to show off some of the works of her adoptive father, was shocked to find that Anne, who had originally come back with them, actually ran to the table in front of the yard and flipped up their breakfast, and she had no intention of seeing each other.

"Yeah, yeah..."

(~) Chew!

"Don't worry, just eat something casually!"

ヾ(^^*)))

Although the breakfast in the basket on the table looked a bit simple, with only some baked hard bread and hot milk, plus some dried meat and cheese, Anne said that she would definitely not dislike it in this case.

(…)

(●￣￣●)

“…”

There was no way, and it was hard to say something, Erica just turned her attention to the warehouse again.

“!!”

"What kind of sword is this?!"

At this time, before Erica could say something, Gus, who was wandering in the warehouse, was soon attracted by a huge big sword.

Of course, it would be more appropriate to say that it is a huge piece of iron rather than a big sword?

"Dragon Slaying Sword!"

"Dragon Slaying Sword?"

"Um!"

"That……"

"Then why is it so big, so strange?"

"snort!"

"At that time, the king ordered the whole country to provide dragon-slaying swords, and the lord told me to create one. So, I followed the instructions above to create such a sword that can kill dragons!"

"later……"

"I was almost hanged by those foolish nobles. Fortunately, I was lucky and escaped. Then I came here to make a living. It was a masterpiece I brought out at that time. I thought the memorial was of great significance, so I kept it."

Faced with Gus' inquiry, the blacksmith Gote had no intention of hiding it, and directly told him about the matter between him and the hideous iron lump "Dragon Slaying Sword".

"So that's what it is..."

“!!”

"So heavy!!"

Nodded, Gus ignored it, then thought for a while, and walked forward, then raised it with one hand.

“This ratio!”

“It’s too big and heavy…”

Then, he gritted his teeth and waved it slowly for a few times. Even the strong Rugus couldn't help but panting and sighing with a smacking tongue, and felt that such a weapon seemed not suitable for normal warriors.

“It looks terrible!”

"Can it really kill dragons?"

Ricket, who was standing aside, took two steps back, allowing himself to be further away from Gus, so as not to be touched by the opponent's giant sword, and then he turned to look at Gote, who also took two steps back silently, and asked.

"have no idea!"

"but……"

"If there really is a dragon in this world, I think it should be possible, right?"

First, he pondered for a while, and then, the blacksmith Gao Te replied with a grin.

“…”

He opened his mouth and looked at Gus, who was still unwilling to put down the dragon-slaying sword that was obviously not suitable for normal people. In the end, Rickett said nothing.

"that……"

"Gus?"

"Compared with that sword, I think you should find a suitable pair of armor first?"

紧接着,里基特开始在高特的那些作品中逡巡着,先是略过了那些古怪的面具和贞操锁后,他很快就在一个地方发现了一只金属的义手和一个小巧但是却异常精致的手炮.

"Look!"

"There are many fine products here, including charlatan and hand cannon. I have a bold idea. Do you want to try it?"

Looking at the delicate and sturdy hand cannon and charlatan, Rickett couldn't help cheering.

看得出来,那义手和手炮应该都是新近才打造出来的,很显然,高特虽然嘴上不怎么说,但是暗地里却一直有为格斯默默考虑着,以至于连这种一般人用不上的东西都提前准备好了.

"Um!"

"Rickit, then I'll trouble you!"

Seeing the two things in Rickett's hand, and looking at Gott standing by the door with his arms in his arms, Gus thought about it, but in the end, of course he did not refuse the good intentions of both of them.

"but……"

"I'm leaving after I'll use up breakfast later."

"From now, Cascarlett will ask you."

Then, before Ricket could say something, Gus suddenly explained his intention to leave, and then looked firmly at Rickett, who was very surprised and surprised.

“!!”

"What, what?"

"Gus, you..."

"Really leaving?"

虽然之前早就想过以格斯的性子肯定不会甘心一直躲在这里,但是,当听到对方的话后,里基特就还是忍不住惊呼出声,并忍不住觉得对方提出这件事情就还是太快太突然了一点.

"Yes."

"They won't let me go, they will keep chasing me, and it may be inconvenient if they bring Cascarlett."

"Especially, she is still so resentful and fearful of me now..."

"Let her hide in that cave. As long as she doesn't run around, she will not be discovered by those monsters. They should only come to hunt me down?"

Thinking of what happened to Cascarlett before, Gus couldn't help but sigh again.

由于某些事情,所以格斯知道,卡思嘉被留在这里就并不是太危险,再就是,昨晚那个恶魔一样的小女孩安妮跟他说了,他的那圣光烙印可以治愈她,但是,他要变得更强才行,他不确定要不要那么去做,所以想要先观察和离开卡思嘉一段时间,并趁着这段时间好好想想.

"Anyway!"

“I have some things that I have to do!”

"You probably understand?"

Dragging the dragon-slaying sword in his hand, Gus walked to Rickett and stared at Rickett's face seriously and said in a deep voice.

"But!"

After pursing his lips and struggling for a while, Rickett finally gritted his teeth and told him something he had already thought of.

"Gus..."

"I think you should stay here, really!"

"Although it may sound a bit ruthless, but..."

"But the Eagle Group is over, the Eagle Group has been wiped out, and now there are only three of us left. You should no longer avenge those who have died. You should stay with Cascartes. That is the most important thing. She needs you, right?"

"it's all over!"

"Although I'm very unwilling to give up, the war is over, let it go!"

Rickett seemed to know what Gus was thinking, so he persuaded him stubbornly loudly and sincerely, while his face was full of unbearable and sad expressions. It seemed that he had really given up some of his thoughts and gave up the Eagle Group.

"No……"

"As long as we are there, the Eagle Group will not end, and the war is not over!"

Unfortunately, Gus was unmoved and still retorted with a determined look on his face.

"Listen!"

"Rickit, Cascarte is our leader now, you must protect her!"

"And I..."

"I am the captain of the vanguard team. My current responsibility is to be responsible for breaking into the enemy's formation!"

"There's something..."

"I have to do it!"

After saying that, Gus patted Rickett on the shoulder hard and gave the other party an expression that could not be refused.

"I have to do it!"

"Do you understand?"

而他还没有说的话则是:发生了那一切,他现在之所以还没有像卡思嘉那样精神崩溃变成一个疯子或者废人,就只不过是因为他的体内有一股疯狂又坚定的意念在支撑着他,而那股意志让他必须向前跨出步伐,不管是复仇还是战争都无所谓,他绝不能停下来,他必须去做点什么,为了鹰之团,也为了他自己,更为了卡思嘉!

otherwise……

He will really fall completely!

However, he had not yet thought about what to do and how to do it.

But no matter what it is, he would not leave danger to Cascarp. Now, carrying two marks, being chased by evil, surrounded by the "devil", he chose to leave and embark on that road of struggle, which has become the most suitable choice at present.

"That……"

After staring at Gus's one-eye for a while, finally, Rickett, who had been struggling for a long time, sighed and had to compromise.

"You really plan to leave later?"

"How many days will you stay?"

But even if he compromised, he still planned to keep the other party for a few more days.

"No."

"I just said that I will leave after breakfast later!"

"I've decided."

Gus shook his head.

"But!"

"Don't say goodbye to Cascarlett anymore?"

Rickett seemed a little reluctant, and didn't know whether it was for Gus or Cascarlett, or whether it was?

"No."

"She can't recognize me now..."

"Besides, when she sees me, she will still fall into that hysterical state, and if I go, it may attract those guys..."

"Let her stay in that cave quietly. As long as she doesn't come out, she will be fine."

After a moment of silence, Gus still said this bitterly and lonely.

Although he could hide in the mine like Cascarlett and survive, he would not choose that. He would rather fight the monsters and die at their hands one day in the future than hide in the cave like a wounded wild dog waiting for the judgment of fate!

Then there is...

He doesn't believe in fate, he wants to control his own destiny!

There are some things that he has to do, and even if he has only one breath left, he has to do them!

Go and fight!

Go and fight!!

He just wants to let some existences know that even if they are controlled by fate, he must do things according to his own will!

"That's good..."

'ah!!!'

“?!”

“!!”

However, at this moment, before Rikit finished speaking, a scream from Erica came from outside the door. Then, he and Gus turned their heads together and rushed to the arsenal to stand in front of Got and Erica, and saw at a glance: a huge and ugly monster was standing outside the fence of the yard with malicious intentions, staring at them with malicious intentions.

"That!"

"What kind of monster is that?!"

Seeing that ugly monster that only appears in nightmare, even the blacksmith Gaute, who is known for being knowledgeable and courageous, was frightened and his speech was a little unscrupulous.

“??”

(.)

"Isn't he your friend?"

Σ(°~°|||)︴

At this time, Anne was biting a hard bread in her mouth, holding a cup of hot milk in her hand, and pointed at the monster in surprise and asked at the four people who ran out.

"hey-hey……"

"Finished..."

"food……"

"I haven't finished the food..."

The monster didn't take Annie, who was standing in front, and just stared at Gus who had just run out of the warehouse with greed and cruel eyes, and laughed strangely in vague words, while opening its dirty and smelly mouth.

“!!”

"Of course not!"

"Anne!"

"Run!"

"That's a monster!!"

Fortunately, Erica, who was so scared that she was hiding behind the blacksmith Got, was more loyal. She was the first to react and poked her head out and urged her loudly at Anne.

"Jie!"

"That's all!"

"I just knew..."

"They will be found sooner or later!"

Seeing the monster, Gus remembered what happened in the black tornado that day, and those monsters. Then, indignant, he raised the huge and exaggerated "Dragon Slaying" sword he had just run out, and was ready to attack the monster.

"Not a friend?"

()

"That……"

(,,,,)

"If someone burns it, it shouldn't matter?"

(゜▽＾*)

As he said that, without waiting for the angry monster uncle Gus to launch an attack, Annie, who changed her face in an instant, directly stretched out her other white and tender little hand that was empty, aiming her palm at the monster who was about to cross the railing and enter the courtyard.

Then……

boom!!!

“??”

“!?”

“!!”

“???”

Under the extremely shocked and stunned gaze of Gus, Rickett, Gott and Erica, a flame shock wave suddenly roared out of Annie's palm!

Then, before the hideous, ugly monster with a foul smell was reacted, it was instantly submerged in it by the flames.

“…”

“…”

“…”

“…”

soon!

When the fire dissipated, the four people who were still stunned could see the figure of the monster that was just arrogant, besides seeing a piece of burned fence ashes and the large fan-shaped and hundreds of meters-long dark red melting silt and sand magma that appeared on the ground ahead?

“!!”

Gulu!

Seeing that such a monster was easily burned to ashes by Anne's unheard of methods while chatting and laughing, Rickett was of course so scared that he shrank back two steps and swallowed with difficulty.

"Ge, Gus..."

"I kind of believe what you said before."

Then, after a while, he turned his head stiffly and said this to Gus, who was also somewhat surprised.

Before, when Gus said Anne was a 'demon', he was a little unbelievable, but now, if Gus said Anne was transformed by a fire dragon, perhaps he would choose to believe it?

“…”

The blacksmith Gote didn't say anything, but his eyes were almost glaring out.

He was a blacksmith, and he knew better than anyone else how terrifying the flame temperature of such a big monster was to instantly burned into ashes and melted the mud and sand of such a large area of ​​land!

“…”

Gus did not respond, but frowned slightly, and stared at Anne with his one-eyed one-eyed look.

"ah!"

"Okay, so awesome..."

Erica is different.

Her relationship with Anne is now very good. Although it is only what she thinks, no matter what, seeing that terrible monster was burned by Anne, she was certainly happy for her companion's strength, in addition to being surprised.

"Is that magic?"

"I'm so envious!"

At the same time, she began to envy Anne, who was about the same height as her, who could have such powerful power, and she didn't care what Gus, Rickett and adopted father Got were all around her at this time.

"alright!"

()hey-hey!

"You guys come here to have breakfast soon, otherwise it will be cold later!"

ヾ(⌒⌒*)

No matter how many, no matter what those people thought, Annieko turned around and greeted the four people with different expressions, as if she was the master here.
