Heimer's sacrifice is meaningful.

Afterwards, the dark horse finally increased its speed to a point where the wolf-headed man could not surpass it.

The distance between the wolf-headed man and the black horse began to widen, and some impatient wolf-headed men began to throw their weapons at the people on the horse. However, the vigorous black horse immediately began to jump left and right, and nimbly dodged the attacks from behind.

attack.

Nia didn't know how to drive a horse, and she didn't know how to give correct instructions after holding the reins.

But this dark horse named "Lightning" is very understanding of human nature. Although the girl's expression is very clumsy, it still knows exactly how the person on its back needs it to step and turn.

At the same time, "Lightning" also paid attention to the balance of the two people on his back, carefully adjusting his center of gravity to prevent them from being thrown off while running wildly.

"Verus..."

After realizing that the wolf-headed man had been thrown away and that the "lightning" did not need to be deliberately controlled by herself, Nia focused her attention on the young man leaning on her back.

Judging from the way the young man's eyes were closed, he must have fallen asleep. He had exhausted too much energy, and had reached the limit both physically and mentally.

Entering that special state is not without cost. When Zeref was pierced through the heart, the young man could not do anything even if he was furious. When he called out the black energy in his body again, his heart actually stopped beating for a few seconds.

This is a warning from his body.

If he uses this power again, he will die.

The young man had no idea of ​​that power. It was an ability that came at the cost of consuming life force. Abusing it would only accelerate his own death.

The girl didn't know much about the boy's condition, nor how long it would take for the boy to wake up, but she could clearly feel the boy's weakness.

"Wake up quickly...I, I don't know where we should go!"

The girl begged in a low voice while swallowing her helpless tears.

Although she knew the boy's situation, Nia still wanted him to come up with an idea.

Nia lost her mother, her father's life and death were unknown, and her originally warm home was in ruins.

If it were anyone else, he might choose to seek refuge with some reliable relatives.

It's just that Nia's memories of the past are very vague. The girl can't remember that she has any relatives other than her parents.

Maybe there really isn’t one?

Even if there were, she had not seen any of those people come to help during these two most difficult years, and I believe they were not people she could rely on.

In this way, after the village was burned down, Nia had no place to go, and she didn't know where she could go.

Originally, Heimer had given him a goal, which was to go to Camode, a military base. There were many acquaintances of Heimel in that place. With Heimel's connections there, it was not difficult to solve the girl's placement problem.

Now that Heimer and the others are gone, should we still go to Camode?

Nia thought about it for a long time, and finally she realized that all of this had to be decided after the boy woke up. If the boy didn't wake up, nothing would happen next.

The figure of the wolf-headed man had disappeared at the other end of the road. After a while, Nia couldn't even hear the miserable howls of the wolves. It seemed that they should have completely left behind the group of savage orcs.

Despite this, they still couldn't stop. The group of wolf-headed men were probably still chasing them, and they had to run far enough to rest.

I don't know how long "Lightning" ran. The road ahead changed from a winding and rugged path to an open avenue, and then from the avenue to a winding trail.

The sky that was originally just dim and bright gradually became brighter, and now the sun was shining brightly.

Perhaps because of the bumps on the horse, the sleeping boy subconsciously hugged the girl's waist tightly.

"Well……"

Nia blushed. She had rarely been so close to someone of the opposite sex except her father.

Although Nia is not disgusted with being touched by people of the opposite sex other than family members, she still has a strong sense of resistance.

Even if the big boy next door touches her hands or hair intentionally or unintentionally, Nia will take the initiative to move away.

But this young man is indeed an exception. At least now, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, but feels a little relieved because of it.

Her younger sister was also sleeping soundly on her back. This baby girl fell asleep after crying loudly, which perfectly explained what moodiness is.

In fact, Nia is also exhausted now. She hasn't slept all night and has experienced so many things. This is already a very big burden for the still young girl.

But she can't sleep yet.

It wouldn't be funny if he really fell off the tall "Lightning" with everyone who was sleeping.

The wind blowing in the face slowly slowed down. I don't know whether it was because of fatigue or because it was out of danger, but the dark horse "Lightning" began to slow down.

Of course, this is also a good thing. A horse that is no longer galloping is easier to control and can maintain balance without having to hold the reins deliberately.

"..."

So here it is, a little nap... uh, no! Just close your eyes and refresh yourself.

Nia's groggy mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

By the way, what should we call this?

Yeah! Dad said this is called "meditation".

Although I can't sleep now, it's okay for me to "meditate" for a while, right?

As a result, the girl really closed her eyes. (Author's note: Please do not imitate fatigue driving)

It’s unclear how long it took before Nia was awakened by the alarming neighing sound of “Lightning”.

"Um...what's wrong Lightning?"

Nia rubbed her eyes. She was still sleepy and not fully awake.

"Oh! Little sister, now is not the time for you to take a nap!"

However, a strange voice suddenly appeared and made Nia tremble.
