scepter

A hell spider appeared, and everyone was not sure whether there would be a second one, so they all speeded up their pace until night fell, and finally arrived at the "safer place to spend the night" that Feizel said before.

This is one of the few small open spaces along the way, surrounded by low grass, not too many trees to block the view, the grass is wet, and there is still a bit of soft mud when stepping on it. At this time, Aphra's soil talent is With a place to use, she raised her staff to turn the mud into flat and dry sand, while Lily and Dantonio helped set up simple tents one by one.As for Chris, Feizel and the others were embarrassed to let the dignified high-level mages do such trivial things as lighting a fire, so they took the initiative to pick up branches and pile them together to start a fire manually.

During this process, the most idle ones from beginning to end were the mage in black, the priest holding the elf, and the idle Asur.

The latter is not only idle, but also likes to point fingers, going to Aphra for a while to give pointers, and then going to Feizel to make noise for a while, just like before.

Feizel and the others were hindered by Azul's status as a mage, so they couldn't say much. Lily would not be so polite, and directly accused him: "Azul, you only know how to talk, why don't you help?"

Azul curled his lips: "I'm a wind mage, how can I help, besides, don't you have to take turns at night watch?"

Lily wanted to say more, but was stopped by D'Antonio, "Forget it, the tent is set up anyway, let's eat first."

"What are you looking at?"

The priest was watching this scene intently, and suddenly his chin was pinched and turned to the side, meeting the eyes of the black-clothed mage who could not see emotion.

"Nothing." The priest frowned slightly, "Maybe it's my illusion."

Chris said, "You should practice magic as soon as possible, the enemy will not wait for you to become stronger."

"Yes, I remember." Yannick was a little helpless. Having a strict teacher is both a good thing and a bad thing.

And he thinks the situation is kind of funny now.A mage urging a priest to study?No one will believe you if you say it.

When going out, everyone eats very simple food, basically the dry food stored in the magic bag before. The elf baby is a bit special. His food is the lime nectar that Yannick bought in Tomei Town before. I gave him a gold coin, and the money was borrowed from Chris.

The elf baby held the nectar bottle and nestled in Yannick's arms, sucking it contentedly, with his stomach rising and falling, and hiccupping from time to time, which made Lily a little jealous.

"The little guy is only willing to be hugged by me when he is asleep!"

"Lily, you can have a baby with Dantonio, so that you will have a cute little guy who can be teased every day." Yannick said casually, combing the elf's hair gently with his fingers, his face reflected by the fire was handsome Extremely, this scene was so peaceful that it was unbearable to interrupt.

Lily blushed at what he said, and didn't know what to pick up, but D'Antonio was very happy: "Yes, Lily, when we get to the imperial capital, let's go to the Magic Guild to notarize and become partners!"

Lily said, "It's too early, we swear to become great magisters..."

Afra smiled and said, "The two are not contradictory. Wouldn't it be better to work together after becoming a partner?"

Yannick smiled: "If you don't reject the priest's blessing, I am willing to send my most sincere blessing."

D'Antonio hugged Lily's shoulder and laughed cheerfully: "Of course! Yannick, you know, we have regarded you as a friend for a long time. When you arrive in the imperial capital, you have to attend our wedding!"

The tense atmosphere was instantly dissipated by the sweetness of the two, and even Feizel and the others couldn't help showing a relaxed look, adding in jokes and blessings, Yannick took the time to glance at Azul, and found that the latter was sitting around his knees, Looking at the dark night sky above his head, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Everyone finished their dinner one after another, sat for a while, and it was almost time to rest. They had already set the rules of taking turns on duty along the way. Except for Chris, two people were together every night.

It was supposed to be Yannick and another swordsman's turn tonight, but that swordsman had a bad stomach, had diarrhea, and was dying. Even the magic potion and the priest's healing couldn't make him recover immediately, Fei Ze Er had to arrange for him to rest and replace him with another person.

"I'll come tonight." Azul was the one who volunteered.

Aphra frowned, but she knew how deep Asur's hatred for the priest was, and she didn't necessarily give Yanick any good looks along the way, so she took the initiative to ask for cooperation with Yanick.

"No, it's still me..."

"Aphra, I know what you're thinking!" Azul rolled his eyes, "Although I hate him, I don't even know what's important! Besides, you're all here, and I can how is he!"

When he said this, Aphra felt embarrassed to say anything more. The main reason was that a priest like Yannick, who was basically defenseless, had a mage watching the night with him. It was indeed safer than a swordsman. After all, it was dark here. In the forest, danger is everywhere.

Lily frowned and said, "Azul, we need your assurance that you won't do anything to Yannick."

"Yes, I promise, I swear in the name of Beatrice, the goddess of wind, is it alright?" Azul was annoyed.

"Okay," Lily looked at Yannick, "what do you think?"

Now that the matter has come to this point, if the priest refuses again, it will seem ignorant, so he nodded: "I have no objection."

Everything seems to be in order.

The sleepy people went into the tent to rest one after another. Chris was the first to go in. He had a separate tent. Yannick knew that maybe the other party was still studying the restriction of the ring in his hand. This teacher's exploration of the unknown He has a clear enough understanding of what kind of fanaticism he has.

Due to the night vigil, Yannick and Azul stayed outside the tent, while Lily put the sleeping spell on the little elf and carried him in. Unexpectedly, Azul did not come to harass him, not even verbally attacking him. , the two sat five or six meters away, each guarding a bonfire.

Yannick was exhausted enough. The physique of the priest was not tough and durable. After walking for a day, he only relied on willpower to support him. He didn't want to take a break first and drag down the overall itinerary. But once he relaxes now, Sleepiness came up like a tide.

He quickly forgot about Azul who was still on the side, his heavy eyelids gradually closed, and the crackling of the burning branches turned into a different kind of lullaby instead.

Before he knew it, Yannick fell asleep.

In my impression, he had a very sweet and long sleep. When he woke up naturally, it was still dark and the bonfire was still burning, just like before he accidentally fell asleep. Look around, Asu I don't know when he disappeared.

A strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart, Yannick stood up, walked to Chris's tent first, and gently opened the curtain. It was empty inside, and the bedding on the bed was neatly stacked, as if no one was there at all. rested above.

"Lily! Dantonio!" Yannick yelled again, walking towards other tents.

Without exception, there was no one in those tents.

Where did they go?

Why not wake yourself up?

Yanick was full of doubts when Dou came out of Feizel's tent, and found that thick fog began to fill the outside at some point. Several campfires were looming in the fog. With the faint light of the fire, he could barely see the road under his feet.

"Chris! Fezel!"

No one answered, and the voice echoed among the dense forests, making it even more treacherous.

There is a contract between him and Chris, so there should be some kind of induction in the soul. Of course, the teacher-student contract is not as deep as the partner contract. In addition, Yannick's own magic power is relatively weak, so this kind of Sensation is often intermittent, and sometimes not even felt.

Yannick collected himself, closed his eyes, and tried to sense the existence of Chris, but time passed by, and there was still no feeling between his brows.

He breathed a sigh of relief, ready to give up this method.

At this moment, someone blew hot air into my ears unexpectedly.

Yannick shuddered and immediately opened his eyes.

But it was too late, his hands and waist were already tightly bound.

"Priest?" It was Azul's voice that came from behind, but it was much lower than usual. "Sweet taste, I like it very much..."

"You're not Asur, who are you?" Yannick asked calmly.

"Guess." The warm tone lingered in the ear of the priest, causing the latter to tilt his head uncomfortably, but his upper body was unable to move because of the unexpectedly strong force of the other party.

While he was struggling, the people behind him were as steady as a steel tower, not even a little bit shaken.

Yannick's heart sank, and he said the answer he didn't want to think about: "...are you a monster?"

"Very smart." The other party lowered his head and took a deep sniff at his neck. "I haven't eaten a priest yet, it should be more delicious than ordinary people, but you are a little wrong."

The unknown monster wearing Asur's skin smiled behind him. "I am not a monster, but a high-level monster."
