Lolo lay on the young lad's back like a kitten. Perhaps out of shyness, she didn't speak for a long time.
The stars were blinking secretly in the night sky, and the rookie Braveheart was also secretly looking at the young man's face. From her point of view, the Archmage's cheeks looked especially gentle. He had a tall nose bridge, slightly curved lips, and bright eyes. He looked like he was full of confidence in everything, as if nothing in this world could baffle him.
The young lad seemed to be the same back in the Dungeon. He was the coolest attendant that Lolo had ever seen. Sometimes, The Brave would be infuriated by his calm demeanor. Everyone in this world was giving their all, but the young lad was the only one who sat calmly on the spot and looked at you. When you were exhausted, he would shake his head and walk towards you. His gaze seemed to say, 'Look, I'm the one who has to do it in the end.'
When they faced the wolf pack in the Endless Sea of Trees, everyone thought she had tamed the Alpha Wolf and saved the team. But The Brave knew clearly whose idea she had listened to at the critical moment. When everyone was almost lost in the Underground Labyrinth, who had brought her to the den of the little bandits and saved the team once again. Not long ago, she was knocked out by the bandits. She didn't expect to see that familiar face when she opened her eyes.
How cunning ~ Why does this guy always appear when I need him the most? Lolo thought as she buried her face in the young lad's shoulder.
At least at this moment, the girl knew that she was no longer alone.
The young lad's back was warm. Accompanied by his even breathing under the starlight, it was exceptionally reassuring. Lolo only hoped that the road to the inn would never end.
However, this beautiful peace was broken by the rookie Hero after a short while. The girl looked as if someone had stepped on her tail. "Hurry, hurry up and put me down. I'm already awake. Y-You … Why are you still carrying me?"
"Oh, I saw that you didn't seem to want to come down, so I thought you were very comfortable up there." The Great Magician said as he let go of Luo Luo and allowed her to jump down.
She blushed. "Are you an idiot? You're still injured and you're still in the mood to joke around."
The youth shrugged. He had cast Lighten on himself earlier, so he did not feel too tired even if he was carrying the girl. As for his arm, it was frozen to the point that it could not feel anything. When the rookie Hero landed on the ground, Luo Bu returned the Elven sword and the purse that the goblin had stolen to her.
"Thank you." The girl received the two items, looking a little embarrassed. After all, they had just parted not too long ago and she had already fallen into the hands of three commoners. It was a little embarrassing. Fortunately, the young scholar appeared in time. If not, she would have lost both her money and herself. But then again, someone must have seen her pathetic state.
"By the way, didn't you plan to follow a merchant group around? How did you end up here?" The rookie Hero finally remembered the most important question after such a long time.
After such a long time of preparation, the young scholar had already come up with an answer.
Luo Bu turned around when he heard this, his expression unprecedentedly serious. The young scholar's passionate gaze made the rookie hero feel nervous for some reason.
Then, something happened that made Lolo even more nervous. Without any warning, the young scholar suddenly knelt on one knee.
The next moment, there was a loud bang in the girl's head. It was as if the explosives buried there had been detonated. Lolo could only see Archmage's mouth opening and closing, but she could not hear what he was saying.
After a long time, she regained a part of her hearing. The young scholar's words were so far away, as if they came from the other side of the world.
"How is it? What do you think? Answer me if you agree or not. It's a little cold on the ground," Archmage complained.
Lolo was completely dumbfounded. She stammered, "But I, I … I told you before, I'm in a dangerous situation. Anyone who gets close to me might be implicated …"
"It's okay. I don't care." The young scholar's answer was straightforward.
There weren't many people in this world who had the confidence to say this, and the Great Magician happened to be one of them.
The girl was so anxious that she was about to cry. "No, no, you don't know who my enemy is."
"No matter how strong an opponent is, they have their own weaknesses. If there is a weakness, there is a possibility of being defeated. I'm sure you have such a belief in your heart. That's why you've been able to hold on until now." The young scholar paused and then continued, "But you seem to have overlooked one thing. No matter how strong your belief is, you can't win a battle alone."
The girl was stunned when she heard this. She subconsciously wanted to refute the young scholar's words. However, when she thought of what happened not long ago, she was ambushed by someone before she even arrived at Gudilesi University Town, and all her money was stolen. If it were not for the sudden appearance of the young scholar, who knew what would have happened next. Lolo was discouraged again. She had to admit that what the young scholar said did make some sense.
"So, what do you think of my suggestion?" Archmage brought up the past again.
"Ah?" Luo Luo was somewhat unable to withstand a certain someone's aggressive offensive. The girl felt both embarrassed and annoyed. Who would be so direct in this kind of matter? It was as if he was asking for a debt, and he even wanted her to answer on the spot. Didn't this guy know that girls were very reserved?
Rob seemed to be completely unaware of this. Archmage did not seem to understand why the girl took so long to think and refused to answer him. The young man did not lie. It was autumn now, and the ground was indeed a little cold. Even if he was kneeling on one knee for a long time, it was not very comfortable, especially when Rob was still injured. It was not a good idea to kneel like this for a long time.
The Great Magician was puzzled. Previously, when he saw other people doing this, they were just pretending to kneel, and many of them were pulled up before their knees even touched the ground. Why was it that when it came to him, the girl was kneeling so firmly? Even after a long time, the girl still didn't give him a definite answer. She just stood there blankly, looking at him with a frightened expression.
The young man had no choice but to urge the girl again.
The girl did not look at his eyes at all. She lowered her head and finally said in a voice smaller than a mosquito, "Hmm."
Rob breathed a long sigh of relief and hurriedly stood up from the ground as if he did not want to waste a moment. He shook the dust off his trousers and said, "Okay, okay. From today on, I will be your Guardian Knight."
Huh?!
