After leaving Armored Rock City, Rob and Lolo first went to the small valley that Silver had mentioned. Unfortunately, all that was left of it was a pile of charred ash.
The temple sealed the area immediately after the incident and lit a fire, burning all the plants and traces of the battle to ashes. The black altar made of Akensser Primordial Stone also dissipated with the wind after it ran out of energy.
Lolo stood in the empty valley and finally confirmed that the man had really left this world.
Since there were no remains, the two of them could only build a small grave with stones. The girl moved some flowers from outside the valley and planted them nearby. Luo Bu used Starfall to cut a stone slab and asked Luo Luo, "What's written on it?"
The girl shook her head. "No need to carve anything. There are places for him and his mother in the family cemetery. This is just a place for me to remember him."
Rob nodded and placed the wordless stone slab in front of Karov's grave. "Say what you want to say. I'll wait for you outside."
Lolo stayed in the small valley until sunset. When she came out, her eyes were red and she looked a little tired. She leaned her head on Roland's shoulder. "Where are we going next?"
"Anywhere is fine. Let's keep walking like this until you don't want to walk anymore. We'll stay at that place."
...
The two of them didn't walk very fast. They passed by mountains and plains, forests and hills, bustling towns and sparse villages. They encountered caravans and bandits, dancers and bards … Finally, they arrived in front of a large lake with rippling ripples.
Luo Luo looked at the fishing boats returning home under the setting sun. At that moment, she felt as if something had struck her heart.
She turned around and said to Roland, "Let's stay here."
"Okay."
That night, the two of them stayed in the only hotel in the town. The next morning, Luo Bu went to the town to settle down, while Luo Luo went to the lakeside to visit the neighbors nearby and chose a place to stay.
At noon, Luo Bu drove a carriage back. The carriage was filled with tools and raw materials for construction. Luo Luo brought back gifts from the neighbors, including two cabbages, a basket of wild duck eggs, half a bag of flour, and fresh potatoes and sweet potatoes.
The two of them sat in front of the house and cooked their first meal before the construction began.
After eating, Rob and Lolo started building their new home, including the preliminary surveying and drawing work. After that, they went to the forest to pick suitable trees, saw them, cut them, and pulled them back. At dusk, the small boats that returned from fishing heard the news. The people of Niaxia were simple and honest. When they learned that two new people had joined the town, many people volunteered to help.
Although everyone was brimming with enthusiasm, they were all talking at once. Luo Bu and Luo Luo busied themselves for half a day under the guidance of these kind-hearted people. In the end, when they woke up the next morning, they found that the lake had risen, washing away all the wood they had stored on the shore the night before. Even their tools had disappeared.
Looking at the clean foundation, Luo Luo could not help but laugh out loud. Then, Luo Bu could not hold back his laughter any longer. The two of them looked at each other and laughed loudly. The passersby who saw this scene were completely confused, thinking that this pitiful young couple had suffered too much of a shock and had lost their minds.
However, only people like Rob and Lolo, who had been through a lot, knew how hard it was to live a normal life like this. Even if they made a mistake, it didn't matter. There was still a long way to go, and they would have time to make up for it.
The two of them returned to the forest to pick out trees, and spent a week building the four walls of the cabin. Luo Luo thought about what to use for the roof to prevent water from leaking, while Rob put down his staff, picked up the saw, and began to make the furniture himself like a carpenter. After a few failed attempts with one leg long and one leg short and uneven, the furniture he made was finally becoming more and more presentable with his outstanding comprehension and control.
However, Lolo still secretly hid the first uneven table that Rob made. The cabin was built day by day under the two's hard work. A month later, they were finally able to move out of the inn and into their new home. That night, they invited their neighbors to a tavern in town to celebrate. Someone brought an accordion. Under the crowd's cheers, Lolo blushed and sang a northern folk song. It was a rare love song.
As she sang, her eyes were fixed on that person. The men in the tavern couldn't help but whistle.
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor scratched his head and took out his wallet. "I really don't know how to sing. I'll treat everyone to another round of drinks."
Amidst the cheers of the customers, Rob held the girl's hand and slipped out of the tavern.
As if it knew what was going to happen, the moon also hid behind the clouds.
The next morning, the two owners of the cabin did not get out of bed even when the sun was already at the top of their heads.
Lolo woke up early, but because of her shyness, she kept her eyes closed and pretended to be asleep. It was only when she felt a little thirsty that she got out of bed with the blanket wrapped around her. She quietly stretched out her hand, wanting to reach for the glass of water on the table without waking Rob up. When she looked down, she found a pair of eyes looking at her with a faint smile.
At that moment, Lolo's mind went blank. She wanted to say something to ease the awkwardness, but in the end, she could only say, "The quality of the bed you made is not bad."
After saying that, the girl realized that she had made a slip of the tongue. She quickly covered her mouth, but the blanket slipped from her chest.
In short, the two of them began their new life.
Lolo used pebbles to surround a small piece of land beside the cabin as a flower garden. One afternoon, Rob disappeared for half a day. In the evening, he brought back the seeds of the Wind Traveler and planted them in the flower garden. In the spring of the next year, purple flowers bloomed beside the cabin, looking very beautiful from afar.
Other than that, Rob cultivated two acres of land on the other side of the cabin and planted some vegetables of various varieties. He kept some for himself, and brought the rest to the town to exchange for some daily necessities.
In the second year, Lolo fell in love with fishing. The girl liked the feeling of floating on the lake, casting nets and harvesting. It was a joyful thing, so she would go out with the fleet every few days.
