I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

"Do you want to peel it?"

"Senior is so strange, how to peel the berries, don't embarrass yourself."

Mash frowned slightly. Today's senior is very strange. Not only does he speak a little awkwardly, but his expression doesn't look very natural.

"Ah...ha, is it..."

"Hmm... is it my illusion?"

Swallowing the sweet and sour berries into his stomach, Mash looked at Lixiang who was always absent-minded, and couldn't help but say.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Senior is so weird today...the expression is always a little weird...did you encounter any trouble?"

"Uh……"

"Besides, why did you pack your things, senior? Do you want to leave, senior?"

Mash turned his head slightly, looked past Lixiang's ear, and saw the Ortenaus armor parts that were spread by Lixiang and were ready to be wrapped.

"I……"

Lixiang was at a loss for words for a moment, and suddenly he found that his every move seemed to be unable to escape Matthew's pure gaze, unable to cover up, and simply unable to hide.

"—Yes, we are leaving, not only me, but also Matthew, you have to follow me... Matthew is not willing?"

Lixiang noticed that Matthew's expression slowly changed while he was explaining, he couldn't help but stop quickly, dull, and even asked the girl in panic.

"No, senior is my Master, I will follow your instructions no matter what, but... why so suddenly."

Ma Xiu slowly closed his eyes, and the slightly misty eyes made Li Xiang feel complicated.

"It's nothing sudden, it's just that you shouldn't stay here anymore."

"Has the senior greeted the teacher?"

"I've already told the teacher...the teacher said yes."

"But senior is not someone who just walks away like this."

Matthew's words made Lixiang completely silent, and she didn't continue to speak, because her meaning had already been conveyed to Lixiang.

"...But we do have to go, Matthew."

Lixiang repeated the whisper.

"..."

Looking at Lixiang, Matthew couldn't help falling into silence. She seemed to have noticed something suddenly. She looked at Lixiang who was trying to avoid her gaze——when she noticed Matthew's eyes looking at her, Lixiang turned quickly. Overhead, trying to avoid her gaze that seemed to be able to penetrate her heart directly.

"--senior."

Li Xiang's body trembled, and the girl's gentle voice struck his heart like a heavy hammer.

"Did the seniors already know? That's why they always look weird——"

Mash's voice was not loud, but through the reflection from the walls of the cave, the soft but clear voice still fell into Lixiang's ears.

Li Xiang opened his mouth slightly, his face full of disbelief, but soon the gaffe on his face calmed down, he closed his eyes, and sighed, but this was only the calmness reserved by the only remaining rationality That's all.

He didn't even dare to look at Matthew, he didn't dare to face her face.

"I really, really don't want to hear this sentence from your mouth, Matthew..."

"...it's a given, something I've known and accepted a long time ago, that all life has a period of activity, and I have no doubts about my period of activity and accepting it is what I should do .”

Matthew's voice was unexpectedly calm, as if when talking about this topic, she seemed to have lost her emotions and turned into a robot. She was equally calm about her own lifespan, treating it coldly as a simple number, facing, And accepted it frankly.

But this does not mean that others are also unmoved by it.

"No! It's not like that!"

Lixiang's eyes widened all of a sudden, he hugged her shoulders in front of Matthew, and said excitedly: "The doctor is over 20, the director is also in his early twenties, Munir and the others are also... the same !So we should be like this too... Matthew, we can definitely become grandpas and grandmas together...!"

Looking at the young man's smile and sunshine that were no longer the same as before, his face was full of bitterness and pain, Ma Xiu couldn't help but raised his hand and touched Li Xiang's cheek, trying to smooth his frowning brows.

"But this is my deadline. Even if I become a subservant, my cells are still deteriorating, but my body will not age..."

Mash frowned lightly, explaining this ruthless fact to Lixiang as if helplessly.

Li Xiang didn't answer, just shook his head gently, his eyes were full of pain and unwillingness: "But it's not fair...it's not fair...obviously...you haven't experienced more and better things yet , obviously... all of this has nothing to do with you at all, it's all imposed on you...!"

"...I want to save you, no matter what method I use, whoever I go to, I will save you."

Without waiting for Matthew to refute his point of view, Li Xiang said what he wants to do most now, and what he thinks he should do most now.

"...So...you understand why I have to pack things now..."

Standing up, Li Xiang let out a breath, saying what he most wanted to say really made him feel a lot easier.

The gloomy look was finally relieved a little, and Li Xiang, who had recovered, no longer had a bitter face like before. A smile appeared on his face, and he gently pushed Matthew who was sitting up on the bed to lie down , Matthew didn't struggle, and let him touch his head lightly.

"Okay, you just have a good rest here, we don't have much to bring, I'll just pack it up right away, just tell me if you want to eat, I'm right here, I won't go anywhere gone."

The boy said softly, then turned around and continued to pick up the few salutes at a faster speed.

"........."

In this regard, Ma Xiu didn't know what to say, she turned her head to look at Li Xiang's busy back, and remained silent.

Fortunately, at least now he has the appearance of a hero... and what is the appearance of a hero?That is of course a model of not listening to advice and going its own way.

Matthew also knew that no matter what she said now, the senior would definitely act according to his own ideas, looking around for someone or a god who could save her, even her persuasion was useless.

"Fu... Chirp."

Suddenly, the little white beast jumped onto the bed, and immediately jumped to Matthew's pillow.

"Fufu?"

Matthew was not surprised, she just called him out of habit.

"F...Fu!"

But Fufu jumped to Mash's pillow and patted her cheek with her little paw, as if she was angry with her.

Matthew smiled, letting Fufu's little paws pat her cheek.

"Fu..."

…………

This night passed quickly, and the next day, Li Xiang got up very early, he carried a small package on his back, and was about to take Matthew to leave.

Whether it's a doctor or a teacher, they all said that Matthew's body functions will not be greatly affected for the time being, but the cell deterioration speed is dozens of times faster than ordinary people, because of the fusion with the heroic spirit, although the cells in her body deteriorate quickly Fast, but not aging.

It's like the butterfly is as colorful as ever until the end of death... It's ironic to the extreme.

But Lixiang has no time to sigh now, there is not much time left for him, and even less time for Mash, so he must speed up his pace, even if it is just to find Asklepio a minute earlier and a second earlier Sidu may be the key to saving Mash.

So never stop...

"Theiasius."

Suddenly, a voice pulled him back from his thoughts.

Lixiang turned his head, and the teacher appeared in front of him.

"...I'm leaving."

Chiron glanced at him and said calmly.

"Well, we must hurry up."

Lixiang nodded, and at the same time silently grasped Matthew's hand.

"Since this is the case, then I won't stop you anymore, but you have to remember that the outside world is always more complicated and terrifying than the world in the mountains. You have to remember it well."

While Chiron warned him, he also took a rolled up sheepskin from his waist and handed it to Lixiang.

"From the sea you often go along the coast to the east, there is the town of Arcadia, you can go there to inquire if there is any news about Asclepius... That child is extremely obsessed with medical treatment, After you get there, ask if there are any towns where the plague is spreading, maybe he will stay in those places temporarily."

"Well, I see, then teacher, this is..."

Li Xiang nodded gratefully, then couldn't help lowering his head and turning his attention to the parchment wrapped in his hand.

"This is your next lesson, how to be a hero, how to be a good hero, and the homework I prepared for you."

Chiron patted Lixiang on the shoulder, the child in front of him had been by his side for a while, although his appearance hadn't changed much, but somehow he had taken responsibility, which undoubtedly made him feel very relieved.

"……I understand."

Li Xiang was silent for a moment, then silently put the parchment into the package behind her.

"Matthew."

Lixiang had almost explained everything, and then Chiron turned his attention to the girl who was holding tightly beside Lixiang.

Looking at the pure girl like white paper, Chiron couldn't help showing a trace of pity in his eyes, such a child...but...

In fact, when it comes to who Chiron likes more between the two, the sage may choose Mash without hesitation. As big as some kids are.

It's just that Matthew is more special than them. Even if this child was born to her, it must be because of its value and usefulness, but even so, she will not harbor resentment or hate it.

From her, the sage saw some pure kindness of human beings that he hadn't seen for a long time.

He also gave Matthew a roll of parchment, but the parchment was bulging, as if something was wrapped in it.

With their last expectations and exhortations, the boy and the girl set off, out of the protection of the teacher, out of the arms of the mother of the earth, and for the first time came here, the distant and noisy place - "human world".

Chapter 34: Cautionary Poetry

In theory, it would take more than seven days to arrive, but it took Lixiang and the others less than three days to reach the most remote city-state.

If you want to ask why this is so-of course it is because of Tachika.

Li Xiang was very worried about whether Matthew's condition would gradually deteriorate, and what accidents would happen, so in the past three days, he led Matthew to rush through many river valleys and forests, and spent less than three days along the coast. The time has come here.

With such a fast speed, Mash himself can't keep up with this speed at all-maybe, but Lixiang just thinks that she can't, so the boy often carries the girl on his back, with luggage on his chest, like a white shadow Cross the coast.

Rest when you are tired, take out the water you prepared before when you are thirsty, eat some fruits from the mountains when you are hungry, or throw some malicious guys who block the way into the fire and roast them.

These include but are not limited to a series of large-scale predator fantasy species such as serpents, giant lions, giant bears, and three-person leopards.

Some cunning hunters, some of whom have almost the same intelligence as humans, originally saw one or two humans intruding into their territory as if nothing had happened. I ate it.

But they didn't expect that after the juvenile male with the human female on his back pulled the bow, they would really feel what it means to "take people and eat poop."

They didn't even see how the human took off the arrow and put on the bowstring. Only when they reacted, the bodies of these beasts had been blown into two by the thin and long arrows.

There wasn't even a point of direct confrontation, and at the same time when humans pulled back the dark red bow, all the lives watched by the pair of god's pupils could not escape the doom of death.

Where did this TM come from!

Li Xiang couldn't help but wonder if there was some kind of communication and connection between those fantasy beasts. When they just stepped out of the limit range where the teacher's cave was located, little beasts (referring to normal lions) would pop out from time to time. , leopards), and then there were only some big cats and the like (referring to fantasy species), and then they never encountered any large beasts.

After knowing that it is an enemy that is not easy to mess with, all will settle down, right...?While grilling a big snake steak, Lixiang had such a guess in his mind.

But forget it, the smell of the snake before was not bad, and this little food was enough for them to survive to the nearest city-state, so they didn't have to go hunting in the forest any more.

Well, as long as Matthew likes it.

Li Xiang stirred the small pot twice with a wooden spoon, and a faint fragrance wafted out of the small pot.

Take a spoon to scoop up a little bit, the chopped snake meat in the pot has been boiled, and the clear soup has become a melty beige, there are a little wild vegetables, a little green dotted with the slightly monotonous meat soup.

It's almost there.

As soon as Lixiang blew air, the flame under the pot disappeared at once, and the ancient characters gradually dimmed on the soft ground, but there was no high temperature acting on the ground.

As soon as he raised his hand, the fine sand quickly fused together under the scorching of the primordial fire, the hot liquid floated in mid-air, a gust of cold air blew through, and a small crystal-like bowl was completed.

"Matthew."

Li Xiang sat next to the girl with a small bowl and a spoon, with a smile on his face, "Come on, lunch is ready, try it, be careful it's hot, ah..."

"what……"

Facing the boy who remained unchanged as usual, Mash obediently opened her small mouth slightly.
