…
Three days later, when Tilly saw the exhausted faces of the four people, her heart that had been hanging in suspense finally calmed down. Judging from their disheveled faces and their forced smiles, it was obvious that the journey had been a safe one despite the many accidents and thrills. They were lucky enough to escape unscathed after going in the wrong direction and being discovered by a large number of demons.
But looking at the unrepentant Ashes, her heart was filled with anger. Even the comforting words on the tip of her tongue turned into a stiff rebuke.
"I didn't expect someone who claimed to be a veteran in the wild couldn't even tell the direction," Princess Tilly said angrily. "How did you run from Hermes to the King's City of Graycastle? It's really strange that he didn't stray straight to the Southernmost Region. "
"Uh … At that time, there were often pursuers from the Church. We'll know once we catch them and interrogate them." Ashes spread out her hands. "And this time, I don't think it's too far off. At least we can see the Taquila ruins. If they're out on a large scale, they should be able to notice …"
"Without enough Red Mist, they won't be able to move out in large numbers. What we need to guard against is the surprise attack of the Devilbeasts, and from this perspective, we can only see their tails!"
[It would be ideal if everyone is safe and sound, and this position might not be as bad as we thought. "His Majesty sent back the first batch of witches yesterday, and Sylvie was one of them. If we can solve the problem of early warning, this rear view can help us determine the size of the enemy and their reinforcements. So... please go back and have a good rest. "
"Oh? Is there any news from the Northern Lands? "Ashes raised her eyebrows.
"Otherwise, it won't be as simple as me scolding you." Tilly snorted. "Seriously … Let's go!"
"Wait," Ashes paused and glanced at Pasha first. Then, a faint smile appeared on her face before she rushed over to Pasha.
"What happened?"
"No, nothing." Ashes curled her lips.
Back at the Witch Building, as soon as Tilly closed the door, she was hugged from behind.
"Sorry to make you worry."
"Did Pasha tell you that?" Tilly asked without turning her head.
"Uh, you guessed it?" The latter froze for a moment.
"Looking at your expression, I know what's going on." She pushed Ashes's arm away and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Pasha must be saying that I haven't had a good rest these days and I've been guarding the magic core most of the time. She's asking you not to mind my attitude and to comfort me when you come back."
"… Amazing, you got everything right." Ashes sighed in amazement.
"Well, what about the apology?" She turned around.
"No." The Extraordinary shook her head.
"No?" Tilly's eyes widened. "So it's right for me to worry?"
"No matter what, I can't let you go to danger yourself. This is the decision I made a long time ago."
"Ashes, you don't understand anything." Tilly suddenly gnashed her teeth in anger. "Risks can be calculated, measured, and avoided. The executor is part of it. No matter how perfect the plan is, a bad executor will make the situation a mess. Do you understand? If it were me, the Broken Bridge Operation wouldn't be dangerous at all! "
"Calculation, measurement, avoidance … You're becoming more and more like Roland Wimbledon," Ashes said with a shrug.
"Don't change the subject." Princess Tilly was unmoved. "Isn't that the truth?"
"But accidents can't be predicted. Even if the probability of it happening is very small, I still want to be the one to bear it. After all, there are too many accidents in my life." Ashes leaned over and put her hands on Tilly's shoulders. Because of the height difference, this was the only way she could look at Tilly at the same level. "You have a good reason not to apologize. Since I've chosen to stay here and fight the demons, I'll be in danger more and more often. If I can't come back, won't I owe a lot of apologies?"
"Hey!"
"Listen to me." Ashes's expression was extremely serious. "Compared to your brother, there's not much I can do. It's too difficult for me to think about the future of witches. So this is the only thing I'm sure is right. If you're willing to return to Sleeping Island, I can promise that I won't let you worry anymore. But not here. Of course, if you make me worry, I won't let you apologize. "
Tilly found that she didn't know what to say. Looking at the black-haired and golden-eyed Ashes, she felt that she was inexplicably reliable at this moment.
It shouldn't be like this!
"Ahem." She tilted her head. "Forget it this time. Tell me the whole thing in detail later. I want to find out what the problem is. Now go take a bath. The smell on your body is killing me. "
"I know." Ashes let out a long breath. "Do you want to take a bath with me?"
"No way!"
Looking at the Extraordinary leaving, Tilly stretched out her right hand and opened her palm.
The place where the ring had pierced her hand had completely healed. There was almost no trace of the injury, but the sudden stinging pain was still fresh in her memory.
Fortunately, the situation she worried about did not happen.
"Maybe I'm just worrying too much," she thought.
…
When Lorgar woke up from a long sleep, she felt an indescribable comfort all over her body. It was like soaking in a warm spring. The dizziness and pain were gone.
"Yes, Nana Pine is back …" She vaguely remembered what happened before she fell asleep. The lovely little girl ran into the room breathlessly. It seemed that she hadn't rested all the way. The first thing she said when she saw her was, "Sleep well. You'll be back to normal when you wake up." In addition to her, there were also her companions in the Adventurer Group. They talked a lot at the bedside, but she couldn't remember a single word.
After all, the feeling when Nana's magic flowed through her body was too comfortable.
"So now I'm all right? I have to thank her. "
When Lorgar opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a gray-haired man.
She was stunned. "Great … chief?"
"That's me." Roland nodded. "How does it feel to be healed?"
"I … can't tell." She tried to move her fingers. It was a little jerky, but her thoughts were conveyed without any hindrance. "There seems to be no problem. How long did I sleep? Where's Nana? And … your hand … "
"Oh, I just found it interesting. Don't worry about it." Roland withdrew his hand from Lorgar's ear. "I've always been curious about how they feel when I touch them. Do they make you feel … um, especially itchy?"
"No, they're just ears," Lorgar said strangely. "If you don't mind them being weird, I'm fine with it."
After saying that, she even shook her long ears.
"That's enough for now." The chief coughed twice. "You've slept for about three days. This is the normal time for your body to adapt after recovering from serious injuries. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't sleep. You'll just feel extra tired and uncomfortable."
Lorgar was slightly surprised. "Three days …"
"If Nightfall didn't remove the Seed of Symbiosis, you could've slept longer." Roland smiled. "You woke up because your body reminded you. You should feel hungry later."
"Oh, and Miss Nightfall. I have to go and thank them …" The wolf girl wanted to get up, but Roland gently pressed her down.
