Little Auden and Oriken compete on the beach to grill fish, chase and play, and Little Auden has never been so happy. He never had friends, he was always alone.

Oriken was also very happy, although the person who played with him was just a lobster man child who looked ugly and ugly in his eyes, but Oriken lived a deceitful life in hell, since his father died, he had no friends who could really talk to him, he had not been so relaxed for a long time, and he had not been so open and enjoying life with a person for a long time.

On their way home, they were confronted by Captain Hugo, who was patrolling the village gate, and Captain Hugo and Oriken nearly clashed again. Although Captain Hugo finally realizes that he is no match for this guy, he will never admit defeat and is fearless.

Eventually, Auden Jr. persuaded the two of them to stop Captain Hugo's provocation against Oriken, and they returned to the village.

Night is falling.

The night is the world of dreams, the world of dreams is the world of hell unicorns, and the night is the time of hell unicorns.

Considering that the village is now extremely heavily guarded, and there are people like Hyde Patriarch who seem to be helpless but make Oriken feel a little depressed, Oriken did not act rashly.

He decided to do something safe and be with little Auden every day from now on, and he decided to enter little Auden's dream.

Unless it's those powerful warriors who have been specially trained to deal with the unicorns of Hell, people are naked and defenseless in their dreams.

The Hell Unicorns can calmly enter their dreams and watch from there, and they will soon become the people who know them best, better than they know themselves, and then they will drown in the nightmares that the Hell Unicorns have created for them, never, never to wake up.

Oriken didn't want to attack Auden Jr., he just wanted to know more about the person he was going to get along with day and night in the future, and he wanted to be able to take the initiative and not be overwhelmed.

So he entered little Oden's dream.

Yang Hai's vision also followed Oriken into it.

"I can't believe it's also something that Trident knows?" Yang Hai asked.

"Oh...... POSEIDON。 The trident is a node, a coordinate, a medium, and it is this history that we recall. It's irrelevant. Tidria said.

"I still don't know much...... It doesn't matter, though. ”

Dreams are a very mysterious realm, the closest place to the soul, and in a sense, the innate power of the Hell Unicorns is not inferior to that of noble dragons, and far beyond their distant relatives who live in the main physical plane.

In the past, Yang Hai had seen with his own eyes how the Hell Unicorn invaded the dream realm.

Oriken sang softly, so inaudible that his soul left his body and slowly merged into little Auden's body.

"What kind of spell is this?" Yang Hai asked in shock.

"It's Requiem, the racial instinct of the unicorns of hell, and the reason why they are able to run rampant in their dreams." Tidria explained, "Oriken, as the unicorn king of Hell, must have perfected this skill. The difficulty between his invasion of the dream of Oldender and the dream of the most powerful person on the continent will not be more than 1 second of singing. ”

"That's a ruthless character...... Much more ruthless than you. You're too inferior to him, aren't you? Quite a few words" Yang Hai said to Tidria.

"WELL, YOU'VE WON POSEIDON." Tidria glared: "Don't be so mean to an old man, if I were as strong as Oriken, I still need to attach myself to you and watch you do some boring things every day?" You'd better be glad. ”

"Okay...... I'm glad. ”

They follow Oriken to see something magical in little Oden's dream, in which one can overcome any obstacle and return to freedom.

They saw a small pot, the size of a bowl, filled with boiled vegetables, and after little Auden ate a small pot, the pot would fill up automatically, as if it would never be finished.

They saw that the pot had grown a little bigger, and that there was an extra spoon next to the pot, and that Oriken had appeared.

Seeing himself in the dream, the real Oriken slowed down.

"Boy, don't eat this garbage, I'm a carnivore, it's too hard to swallow." Oriken casually knocked over the pot, and little Auden hurriedly turned the pot over. ,

"Come with me, I'll take you to a barbecue." Oriken patted little Auden on the shoulder: "Remember, men must learn how to barbecue in order to live in this helpless world. My father told me. ”

The dream changed dramatically, turning into a starry shore.

Auden and Oriken ate their fill of the grilled fish, threw themselves in a large shape on the beach, and looked up at the stars in the sky.

Their bellies were round, and they couldn't eat anything, and they couldn't run—maybe for Oriken, they could run, but he just lay like that, next to little Auden.

So far, it's all what happened in reality.

But all of a sudden, the world world blurred.

"The dream begins," Tidria perked up.

White weapons shrouded the coast, shrouded Oriken's face, shrouded the planets and the canopy, shrouded the barbecue, and it seemed that only little Auden himself was real in the entire world.

"Mr. Oriken, are you hiding something from me?" Auden Jr. looked up and asked.

But Oriken's face was shrouded in a white mist.

No expression can be seen.

"Is there something you don't like to tell me, are you annoying me? I just knew you and I was so clinging to you. Little Auden continued.

"But Auden likes you, Auden has no friends, and Mr. Oriken is the best for Auden." Little Auden said aggrievedly: "Oriken always says that this world is lonely, and my parents ignore me, will Mr. Oriken also leave?" ”。

In the mist, Oriken's face suddenly became clear, it was a hideous face like a devil.

"Auden, you don't have a father at all, you went far, far away, that's a lie."

Yang Hai's heart pounded, he couldn't imagine what the shore that had just been warm suddenly became dark and cold. The next moment, the entire world whirled around.

Yang Hai felt that Oriken was ejected from the dream.

Because the dream disappeared, little Auden woke up from a nightmare.

Little Auden was sobbing quietly by himself, he couldn't remember his dreams clearly—people rarely remember their dreams, but they still had violent emotional reactions—and little Auden felt so depressed and frightened that he buried his face under the quilt and cried quietly.

"Oden" Oriken appeared at the door of the room.

"Ah, Mr. Ouriken, I ...... I'm sorry, did I disturb you? ”。 Little Auden wiped away his tears and smiled.

"Oden, I'm a bastard." Oriken said.

“…… Belch? ”

"Come out, come out, if you can't sleep, let's go outside for a walk." Oriken beckoned, "Come." ”——

"Mr. Oriken, am I a coward? Are you never going to like me anymore? Auden asked, his eyes red.

"No, Auden, don't say never." Oriken sighed, "Forever is a heavy word. ”

"Oh......" Auden bit his lip.

The two of them walked side by side on the beach, and Oriken took Auden's hand.

The two of them talked a lot.

Auden told Oriken that he was afraid of the dark, that he was afraid to sleep alone, that he didn't like to eat those unpalatable vegetables, that he didn't like to be laughed at by the neighbor's children all the time, and that he didn't like to be called a child without parents. He told Oriken that he liked a little girl named Miya, who looked like an angel, that he liked to run and play football on the beach like the other lobster people, that he liked the sun, that he liked to listen to Mr. Hyde's classes, that he liked to imagine his parents, that he liked to barbecue, that he liked him, and that he didn't feel like he was alone.

"Mr. Oriken......" Auden looked up at Oriken as if in a dream, "Are you hiding something from me?" ”

......" Oriken's face was cloudy in the moonlight: "Why do you ask that?" ”

"I think you're hiding something from me, and I don't think you like me." Auden said, biting his lip.

", I only like girls without clothes, what do I like you for?" Oriken said dismissively, "Don't think about all that nonsense. ”

As he spoke, he slapped Auden on the back of the head.

Auden screamed and giggled. ,

"Mr. Ouriken, perhaps my feelings are wrong." Little Auden blinked and said, "You still care about me......"

"Sticky, quirky elf imp......" Oriken snorted angrily, and then laughed himself—

It seems that Oriken has become accustomed to life with Auden.

Oriken no longer allowed Auden to eat those unpalatable vegetables, in fact, after Oriken arrived, little Auden's kitchen was almost deserted.

"A man should eat meat, it's a must." Oriken showed the muscles in his arm to Auden and touched little Auden's head: "Go to Mr. Hyde's school with peace of mind, and I'll take care of lunch." ”

Oriken went hunting, fishing, and cooking for little Auden every day. He got up early every day, went out of the village to hunt, and of course had to fight with Captain Hugo. Later, they obviously don't hate stacking too much, but they will still find reasons to find fault and count each other's sentences.

He would send little Auden to school after making breakfast, and little Auden liked to hold Oriken's hand tightly.

Send little Auden to the Hyde Patriarch, and Oriken concocts his prey fur or something like a real hunter, and does it decently, even better than a real hunter.

He sold them all for money, and then built a new house on the basis of the old little Auden's house, much warmer than the original wall with leaky planks, and could climb up the stairs to the roof. They often walked up to the roof together after dinner in the evening and lay on the cozy grass hut on the roof to watch the moon and the stars.

Then Oriken would tell Auden the story, which was just an accident at first, but Auden immediately liked Auricken's story.

Auden was clingy, pestering Oriken to tell him bedtime stories every night. Oriken wasn't good at making things up or telling fairy tales, so he had to tell the real history to little Auden and change the result for the better.

As you can imagine, the story has become very stiff, but little Auden just likes to listen to it.

So every night, Auden would fall asleep sweetly in Oriken's story.

Then Oriken would enter the dream, gently accompany him, carefully watching to see if Auden would have nightmares, and if there was a bad sign, Oriken would use his strength to change the dream to a fairy tale.

But he didn't have that opportunity—little Auden had slept soundly every day since that late night's conversation, and had a good dream every day. Despite this, Oriken insisted on accompanying Auden until he was sure that he would not be awakened by anything unpleasant.

Sometimes, Oriken thinks he's crazy.

But then he put the thought behind him.

He taught Auden a lot of things, and Auden learned a lot from Oriken.

He taught Auden how to play the bad boys who bullied him.

Auden learned his mantra, "Manhood is how it should be." ”

He taught Auden how to hone his weapons and how to distinguish the beasts in the wild.

Auden learned to hunt on his own, and little Auden was so talented that Oriken sometimes couldn't believe it.

And many more......

Once Oden got into an argument while playing with a child, and the child yelled at Oden: "You child without parents Ha Luha, your parents are dead, dead"

Auden was just calm, he didn't cry or tremble, but he clenched his fists and gave the kid an old punch, and the kid cried and ran to the Hyde patriarch to complain.

Oriken watched from a distance, a little overwhelmed, not knowing how to comfort Auden.

He didn't like to be talked about his parents until little Auden.

But on the contrary, little Auden went to comfort Oriken first: "Don't worry about me, Ernie, I'm fine." ”

"But ......"

"There are always things that have to be faced." Auden smiled: "Do you think I'm going to hold your thighs and cry while asking what death is?" ”。

Oriken patted Auden the shoulder.

"A man should learn to be strong in order to survive in this lonely world." Auden took a deep breath: "I don't have a father and a mother, but ......"

"But......" Oden choked up, "thank you, I've always had you by my side, I am, I hate ......"

"Son, I'm so proud of you for being so strong." Oriken closed his eyes: "Really, proud of you. ”

"Ernie." Little Auden bent down and poured a handful of seawater in his face.

"You're ......"

"You said that a man should not shed tears." Little Auden wiped the sea water from his face, and suddenly, he shook off Oriken's hand, and shouted with all his strength to the half-moon where the sea and the sky met: "Ernie, you will always be my best friend, always"

Oriken snorted, and bent down to pour a handful of seawater on his face.

"OHNIE, GOGO," LITTLE AUDEN SHOUTED, JUMPING INTO THE SEA. Oriken laughed and jumped in.

……

Two years later, Oriken and Auden lived a simple and warm life, and at one point Oriken even forgot that he was a unicorn from Hell who had come to the main plane on the orders of the Lord of Hell.

However, there are some things.

It's going to happen after all......
