Night dyed the forest, and the heavens and earth were shrouded in darkness. Under the cold moonlight, some of the luminous plants in the forest could be seen emitting various colors of light. Looking down from the sky, the forest was not completely dark, but dyed with cyan, red, purple, and green fluorescence. Of course, the most dazzling light was the fire in the caravan camp. A few bonfires were blazing, almost dyeing the sky red. The wild beasts of this world were not afraid of flames and light. On the contrary, too bright a fire would attract the attention of some wild beasts. Anyone who had walked in the wilderness for many years knew that if they didn't have enough strength to protect themselves, it was best not to start a fire at night. If he wanted to start a fire, he had to find a more hidden place like a cave. He was afraid that it would attract the attention of dangerous wild beasts.
At this moment, in the dense forest far away from the camp, there were a few eyes with different colors. They wandered around the mountains like ghosts, occasionally stopping to look at the fire in the direction of the camp. However, there were many wild beasts circling around the camp, but none of them dared to pounce on it. Animal intuition made them smell danger, especially in the eyes of some vicious beasts that were especially sensitive to Origin Energy. They could clearly see countless flickering sparks floating in the camp.
Those sparks seemed weak, but they gave the vicious beasts the dangerous feeling that they could cause a prairie fire at any time. As a result, these smart fellows would only take a few glances and obediently take a detour. Because they knew that there was an existence in the camp that they could not afford to provoke.
Allen circled around the camp and returned to the campfire. Along the way, he released a bit of his aura, enough to scare away the wild beasts in the night. This method was very common when living with wolves. Snow wolves patrol their territory. The difference was that they left behind their own scent.
At this time, the wild boar had already been roasted. Fares and Rick were using long knives to cut off the roasted meat and distribute it to everyone. The wild boar was not small, but it was divided up by a hundred people in an instant. Even Allen only got a few pieces, not much more than an ordinary warrior. The wild boar was roasted until it was tender on the outside, constantly dripping with oil, emitting an alluring fragrance of meat. Just as Allen was about to eat heartily, his eyes darkened. Someone blocked the fire and stood in front of him.
His gaze first fell on the two straight long legs, and as he raised his gaze, he saw the perfect curve of her waist. Following that was a pair of perky breasts, followed by Elise's angry face. She threw the plate of roasted meat at Allen's feet and shouted, "What is this? Wild boar meat? Only the untouchables could eat this! I've had enough. It's one thing for you to stay in that damned Land of Darkness for so many days, but now you're even giving me this kind of disgusting food! This is an insult to me. listen. I want bread, milk, jam, and fruit and vegetables from the car. I don't ask for a sumptuous dinner, but at least give me something to eat! "
Seeing Elise, Allen finally remembered such a person. After entering the Land of Darkness, Elise stayed with Edward and the others in the Dark Spear's stronghold. After that, Allen challenged Joy, took over the War Wolf and Kuroh bandits, and gathered a group of bandits. He was so busy dealing with one thing after another that he forgot about Elise. Now that this arrogant woman was standing in front of him again, he remembered that he had promised to escort Elise to Satin City.
Elise, a proud woman, definitely had an extraordinary background, which could be seen from the fact that she could be treated as a guest of honor by Horn. But what she did now was no longer pride, but arrogance. Allen's expression sank, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. He slowly tore off the roast meat on the plate and slowly put it into his mouth to chew it carefully. His eyes were fixed on Elyse, causing flames to rise in the woman's eyes.
Her chest rose and fell sharply. To be honest, this scene was very tempting, but no one by the fire was in the mood to enjoy it. Everyone could tell that a storm was brewing. The men silently ate the barbecue on their plates. No one was stupid enough to run into the storm. Elise's eyes almost spat out fire. Since she was young, no one had dared to contradict her like Allen, or even embarrass her in public. Almost instinctively, she wiped her hand on her waist and swept out the red whip tied to her waist, sweeping away the plate in Allen's hand. Allen snorted and reached out to catch the whip.
Elise pulled back, but the red whip didn't move at all in Allen's hand, only straightened. She said angrily, "What do you mean?"
Allen said coldly, "I should be asking you that, noble Miss Elise?" He stood up and said in a deep voice, "I don't care who you are or what your identity is. But now that you're in my caravan, you have to follow my rules. If I give you barbecue, you don't want to eat it. That doesn't matter, as long as you're willing to starve, no one will care if you eat the barbecue or not. But please respect others. What is hard for you to swallow may be food for others to survive. You don't have to eat it, but you can't waste other people's food! "
Elise's chest rose and fell even more violently.
"Also, has no one ever taught you that respecting others is respecting yourself?" After Allen finished speaking, he let go of the whip. For a person like Elyse, the power of these words was more painful than a few slashes.
Sure enough, Elise was like an angry lioness. She took out a money bag from her clothes and threw it at Allen's feet, "Don't speak so righteously, I don't want to eat your wild boar meat. Give me what I want and the money is yours. If it's not enough, I have more here, how about it! "
Allen shook his head and said, "Even if you give me more money, you won't be able to buy a piece of bread. At least, that's the case with me. "
"You!" Elise was so angry that her entire body trembled. She said "good" a few times and didn't even pick up the money bag. She just turned around and left, going into her tent.
Allen snorted. It wasn't like he hadn't seen a noble person before. Not to mention far away, Lucy, the Empress of Adahua Planet, was noble enough. No matter how big Elise's background was, could it be bigger than Lucy's? He could tolerate a woman's pride, willfulness, and even occasional irrationality. But if it was like Elise, then he wouldn't have a good expression on his face to show the other party.
Lucy shook her head and smiled, "You're making too much of a fuss."
"I'm just teaching her how to get along with people." Allen said disapprovingly, "We're still two days away from Satin. If we don't kill her, you can stand it. I can't stand it."
"I don't think she's a bad person. It's just her temperament, or it's related to the environment she grew up in. That's why she has such a temper. Those few days in the Black Wood Forest, Miss Elise had taught Abel a few fighting moves. At that time, she didn't seem very domineering. It's just that I don't have that much patience … "Lucy tilted her head and said.
Abel nodded. The youth rubbed the back of his head awkwardly and said, "I don't blame Miss Elise for being impatient. I'm stupid and can't remember so much at once."
Allen sighed and said, "So it's my fault?"
"It's indeed your fault. You're a man. Just stop when you're good. After all, she's a woman. You have to give her a step down, right? If it were me, I would also be angry if she was embarrassed in front of so many people. " Lucy picked up the money bag on the ground and put it in Allen's hand. "Return it to her and bring her some food. Are you really going to starve her? That's not what a gentleman would do. "
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Your Royal Highness." Allen bowed exaggeratedly, picked up the money bag and left.
He came to Elise's tent. With the help of the fire in the tent, he could see the sulking figure of the woman sitting inside. Allen put the money bag and a few pieces of barbecued meat on the grass and said, "The money and the barbecued meat are here for you. As I said, it's up to you whether you want to eat it or not. But there's one thing I don't want to say, Miss Elise, that not everyone is as noble as you are, and well-fed. What I said just now was not something I said casually. At least before I was ten years old. A piece of barbecued meat that you don't like, I can fight for it! "
The figure in the tent shook visibly, and Ellen did not wait for her to answer. After saying that, he left.
After a moment, a hand reached out of the tent. First, he took back the money bag, and then Elyse hesitated for a moment before reaching out and bringing in the plate of roasted meat. She first put it in front of her nose and sniffed it. Then she tore off a small piece of meat and slowly chewed it in her mouth.
The next day, the caravan broke camp and continued on their way to Satin City. This day, Elise still had an arrogant face and didn't take the initiative to get close to anyone. But today, she ate whatever was given to her and didn't lose her temper like last night. Lucy saw this and smiled at Allen. "Look, the young miss has restrained her temper a lot."
Allen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let her do as she pleases. In any case, once we reach Satin, there's nothing for me to do."
On this day, the caravan left the forest and turned into a relatively flat plain. In the evening, the caravan set up camp on a low slope to rest. After eating dinner, everyone returned to their tents to rest and recover their strength for tomorrow's journey. After sleeping for an unknown period of time, Allen suddenly opened his eyes. He didn't hear any unusual movements, but his intuition told him that something was about to happen.
Almost at the same time, Edward's voice sounded from outside the tent. "Get up, we have guests."
Edward's tone was heavy. It was clear that he didn't come with good intentions. Allen picked up Gojoseon and came out of the tent. "What happened?"
"Just now, a Bronze Blade came to report that there was a Horse team coming our way about a hundred li northwest."
"Horse team? It shouldn't be a traveling caravan in the middle of the night. "
