Allen ignored the Muggle Hunter and continued to pull the witch along as they ran.
But soon, Ravenclaw, who had consumed the attribute potion but had not developed the habit of exercising, began to breathe unsteadily. She had never run before and did not know how to adjust her breathing during a long run. She panted violently and could not help but press on the bottom rib of her body. But Allen, who was in front of her, had no intention of stopping.
"Stop! If you don't stop, I'm going to attack. " The Hunting Ground Watcher behind them warned. He took down the bow on his back, and seeing that the two people in front of him still had no intention of stopping, he raised his bow. A sharp arrow flashed with a cold light as it pierced through the air. However, the Hunting Ground Watcher who had attacked let out a shrill cry, as if the person who had been shot was him. With a pale face, he turned around and ran away.
"Oh God! Sorcerer, it's a sorcerer! " He was so flustered that he almost fell down. He felt that he would never forget the scene just now. When the arrow was close to the two people, it was as if it hit an invisible shield. The arrow that he was so confident of hitting its target was deflected with a metallic sound.
Seeing the Gamekeeper running away in a panic, the witch breathed a sigh of relief. Her expression relaxed, and for the time being, she had completely forgotten that she was going to ask Alan why he was running away. Now there was only one thought in her mind, and that was that she didn't have to run desperately anymore. She could stop and rest.
"Oh no, run!" Who knew that Allen would yell again and pull the panting Ravenclaw towards the direction of the Gamekeeper. Ravenclaw was obviously shocked by Allen's voice. She did not recover from her shock and was once again blindly pulled by Allen in the direction they came from.
Hearing the footsteps from behind, the Muggle Gamekeeper screamed and threw his bow to the ground. He ran even faster. Even though he had never taken an attribute potion before, he had worked in the forest for many years. In this moment of crisis, he burst out with all his potential. This middle-aged man seemed to have a second burst of youth as he ran forward at an even faster speed.
Ravenclaw felt like her lungs were about to explode from running. Her chest was swollen with pain, and there seemed to be a taste of rust in her mouth. Her empty stomach was twitching as if there was acid flowing into her throat … Just as she was about to give up running and let Alan drag her along, Alan suddenly stopped near the lake where he had just dealt with his prey and let the muggle hunter, who was still running without looking back, run far away.
Ravenclaw, who was being dragged, suddenly lost its strength and fell to the ground uncontrollably. Eren, who had been holding hands with her, was also pulled to the ground and rolled together.
"You … You … Why aren't you running anymore?" Ravenclaw supported herself with both hands on the ground. Her forehead was all wet with sweat and her hair was messy. She looked really pathetic.
"I just remembered that our venison is still here!" Allen who was only slightly out of breath blinked innocently and replied.
Ravenclaw's eyes widened so much that her eyeballs almost popped out. She looked at him in disbelief as if someone had punched her in the chest. She screamed, "Then why didn't you use Phantom Shift to come back?! No! Then why didn't we use Phantom Shift to escape?! Wait, why did we have to run?! "
"Otherwise, how could I see you like this?" Allen took a few steps back and laughed.
Ravenclaw was furious. She raised her hand and pounced on Allen as if she was going to fight him to the death. After a while, Ravenclaw could not help but lean on Allen because of her exhaustion. She was pressed down by Allen's body. The scene was obviously not as intimate as it sounded. The witch had started to retch because of the excessive running just now.
Allen patted her back gently to let her catch her breath. Ravenclaw looked at Allen who was still looking at her and laughing. The melancholy and heaviness from before seemed to have been thrown to the back of their minds. Their gazes were glued together and gradually, the laughter in their eyes disappeared. They looked at each other calmly as if this was the first time they had met each other.
Melancholy gradually entangled and shrouded the two like a thick fog. Ravenclaw lay down and gently pressed her forehead against Allen's.
After a long while, Ravenclaw used his wand to summon back the robe that was scattered to the side. He picked it up with both hands and put it on himself with a gentle wave. He then picked up his sweaty long hair that was stuck to his back. His long curly hair was scattered behind him in an elegant arc.
She leaned on Allen again and took out some ointment from the pocket on her waist that was enchanted with the Traceless Expansion Spell. She applied the ointment on Allen's wounds again. The wizard's hand gently stroked Ravenclaw's curly hair. The black lake rippled beside them. After finishing her treatment, Ravenclaw moved down so that she could lay her head on Allen's chest.
The two quietly snuggled up to each other. Since Allen returned to this era, he had been wondering why Luna left him so much time. The wounds on his face had healed long ago. She had used the Blood Oath to teach Ravenclaw what she should teach Ravenclaw. But why did she leave him for so long? Allen was already prepared for what happened just now, but he did not know if Ravenclaw had also received the hint …
However, Allen was actually worried about another thing that had not happened yet, especially after what happened just now. That was Ravenclaw's ghost in the academy, Lady Gray, who was also Helena? Ravenclaw, the girl who used her mother's surname and not her father's.
Allen hugged Ravenclaw tighter. His heart was filled with worry, guilt, and helplessness. He and Ravenclaw would have a daughter, but not only could he not accompany her mother and witness her birth, but he also knew her fate. He was even hesitant to tell Ravenclaw about this, because if there were any changes, the future would be changed greatly, and many people would never exist. Allen did not even know if his current dilemma was something that had already happened to Luna. He had to face so many choices that would lead to misfortune no matter what choice he made. This made him feel suffocated.
Alan recalled the female ghost in his memory. She was his daughter. Apparently, she knew about their relationship earlier than he did, but there was no way for them to acknowledge each other. She could only secretly observe him when he was in school. She even reminded him during a prank by the twins. Every time during the holidays, he would turn a blind eye to her unexpressed farewells. He had noticed the abnormality, but he did not care.
Ravenclaw noticed Allen's strange behavior. She raised her head and rested her chin on his chest. "What are you worried about?"
Perhaps it was because of Ravenclaw's question, or perhaps it was the guilt for his daughter who did not exist in this world that gave Allen some courage. He decided to test if Ravenclaw knew anything. "Ravenclaw, do you know Helena …"
