Randall looked at Barbara in surprise: "Thirteen years ago?! I remember that time..."
"Back then, you were an archer among the peasant soldiers recruited by Lonely Rock City. Once, while on a rescue mission, you chased after a slave-hunting team from the Southern Empire..."
As Randall listened to Barbara's words, his thoughts slowly drifted back to the past.
"The slave-hunting team of the Southern Empire attacked the town of Samantha under the cover of night in order to capture 'white slaves.' Fortunately, the army of Lone Rock City, which had received a request for help, arrived just in time as they breached the town."
"Amid the chaos, a small group of slave traders secretly captured a group of children from the local orphanage and planned to flee south."
"When the battle ended and the townspeople realized the children were missing, the slave traders had already been gone for almost an hour, and almost everyone thought it was impossible to catch them..."
Barbara slowly moved closer to Randall, rested her head on his chest, and slowly closed her eyes: "A young peasant soldier who was a hunter stepped forward and, with his comrades in the army, followed the clues left by the enemy and traveled through the night. Finally, on the morning of the next day, they caught up with those damned bastards."
Barbara said softly, "I will never forget that figure, covered in blood from being slashed by a knife, and who strangled three enemies with a bowstring."
Randall sighed with relief: "So you were there back then too."
Barbara opened her eyes: "Later, I heard that you were seriously injured. Half a month later, I went to Lone Rock to find you, but I found that you and your family had already left the city."
Randall's expression turned desolate: "During that battle, because of my 'Regeneration' ability, my alien identity was discovered. Then, my mother and I were banished from Lone Rock. With nowhere else to turn, we planned to cross the mountains to Silver Ring City to find a living, and then..."
"Stop the car! Inspect!"
A loud shout from outside the carriage silenced Randall, who gestured for Barbara to be quiet.
