Great Elf Sage

Chris looked at Nolan suspiciously, and Nolan broke into a cold sweat. .biqugev

This is a sudden crisis event.

Just when Chris opened her mouth to say something, there was a new development in the 'program' below.

"Look! The two protagonists finally meet!" Nolan, seizing the opportunity, quickly changed the subject.

Chris's attention also returned to Kailon Mountain City below, but for some reason she always had a strange feeling in her heart, as if she had missed something.

……

Not long ago, Shana's parents decided to take Shana back to the manor by force in order to ask for Baron Sullivan's forgiveness. Shana, who had entered a state of 'absolute sanity', did not hesitate to mount the horse that had been unloaded due to a carriage failure and forcefully Slap the horse on the hindquarters and let it rush in one direction.

Shana, who had no experience in riding horses, could not control the direction of the horse at all. The horse rushed all the way towards Kailong Mountain City. Finally, at the corner of a mountain stream, the horse lost control and rushed down the cliff. Shana, who had jumped down early, found that she had arrived at the city. somewhere near the location in memory.

There is not much space between the rows of buildings in Kailong Mountain City. Often you can cross from the curb of this street to the roof of a building in the next street. Many naughty children like to sneak between the roof and the street without their parents noticing. shuttle back and forth between. Shana and Julian had often done this when they were young, and they even found several 'secret passages' leading from the door of their home to somewhere outside the city.

With the blessing of the magical effects of 'absolute sanity' and 'high-speed thinking', the already somewhat fuzzy memories became very clear. Shana recalled the memories of her childhood while running towards her home on the 'secret passage'.

Shana, who had been driven away by the magic effect to expel excess emotions, knew very well that she was just the daughter of a small businessman with little knowledge and experience, and she knew nothing about survival in the wild. Under such circumstances, she would not be caught by the baron's guards if she went deep into the wild alone. She would starve to death in an unknown place, so her only choice at this time was to ask Julian, an adventurer, for help.

……

Back to the present.

Julian in the bedroom was about to deal with the wounds on his body when he suddenly felt weak all over and fell to the ground, and severe pain began to spread from the wounds.

This is the reason why Nolan canceled the ‘spiritual aura’ and ‘tenacity aura’ that had been blessed on Julian.

"Ah!" Julian couldn't help but let out a scream. The severe pain made his mental fatigue temporarily retreat.

When Julian fell to the ground, the effect of the 'absolute sanity' aura completely disappeared.

Julian, who was conscious due to the pain, finally began to panic.

"W-What on earth am I doing!"

Julian recalled what he had just done, and he felt horrified but also had an incredible feeling.

"...This fat young man is a noble. They came for my family from the beginning... Grandpa said before he died, never think that the nobles have a bottom line! If they get the 'Knox Staff', they will find If you don't use it, you will definitely come back to me..."

The more Julian thought about it, the more he felt that his 'impulsive' decision just now was right.

"...Even if they believe that I really don't know how to use it, given the importance of the 'Staff of Knox', they won't be able to let me continue to have freedom. It's even very likely that I will be killed by them to avoid the news. Leak!"

The initial panic gradually receded, and Julian became angrier the more he thought about it.

These damn nobles! These damn traitors! Over the years, not only has he gained status by trampling on the glory of the great Knox family, lying on the corpse of the Knox kingdom and sucking the wealth, but now he even wants to seize the last property of his own family!

There is no turning back now!

Reaching out to pick up the strange dagger 'Knox's Staff' that fell to his feet due to Leo's death, Julian secretly swore that he would make these damn guys pay the price in the future.

It's a pity that due to excessive blood loss and physical exhaustion, Julian can no longer move at this time.

"I, I'm not willing to give in! I can't die here so cowardly! I don't want to be accused of murdering nobles after my death, and my body will be hung at the city gate, and these damn traitors will laugh at the pity of the Knox family. What happens...I haven't become a great adventurer, I haven't restored the glory of my family...I, I haven't told Shana my feelings yet..."

Just as Julian's consciousness gradually faded, a voice came from the bedroom door.

"Julian! What's wrong with you!"

Julian raised his head with difficulty and saw a stained girl wearing a tattered party dress coming in front of him.

"...Xia, Xia Na..."

The person who came was none other than Shana, who had just returned. She came over in a hurry after hearing Julian's screams.

When Julian saw Shana, his eyes couldn't help but become moist. There was an impulse in his heart, and he couldn't help but say something he had hidden for a long time:

"Xia Na, I, I like you!"

Shana, who was about to check Julian's wounds, stiffened and said with a trembling tone:

"What are you talking about!"

"I……"

"No, you don't have to say it!" Shana interrupted Julian.

"you……"

"Too, too fast, let me think about it." Shana interrupted Julian again.

"that……"

"Actually, I, I also treat you..." Shana blushed, lowered her head, and did not make eye contact with Julian.

"Wait……"

"Let's talk about this again when this is over!" Shana made the decision with a blushing face.

"no……"

"Oh, why are you so anxious? You want to die!"

Shana was waiting for a while but found that when Julian spoke, she couldn't help but raise her head, only to see Julian's face looking pale.

Seeing that Shana finally calmed down, Julian continued with difficulty:

"No, I think I can still save something. I'm really going to die..."

……

After a lot of trouble, Shana finally helped Julian bandage the wound.

They had already told each other everything that happened to them tonight, and they had just experienced a clumsy confession. At this time, an atmosphere of ambiguity began to fill the quiet air.

"What should we do with these two guys?" Shana looked at the bodies of Leo and Andrew, trying to change the subject to dilute this strange feeling.

Julian also looked at the two corpses and felt a little headache.

He originally planned to stuff the bodies into those boxes before the blood stains spread. As the relics of the Knox family, these boxes were well sealed and could be used to temporarily dispose of the bodies. However, after what happened just now, After a series of events, a large pool of blood overflowed from the wounds of the two corpses. The smell of blood began to permeate the air, and it was estimated that it would be smelled by nearby neighbors before long.

"How about we leave immediately!" Shana planned to leave Kailon City through those 'secret passages'.

"Baron Sullivan's guards were already dispatched when you came back. Coupled with the relationship between your parents and the direction of the horses, it won't be long before martial law will begin in Kailon Mountain City. And I was seriously injured and couldn't leave before then..." Julian analyzed.

Just as the two were distressed, the blood-stained 'Knox Staff' next to Julian suddenly began to glow red.
