Chapter Eighty-Eight: Initiative

"Lord, lord!"

In the middle of the night, Duke suddenly heard familiar shouts and a push in his ears.

He opened his eyes, only to find that it was Lenia who was gently calling him, and he was relieved that he had thought something else had happened in his sleep.

"Is it my turn so soon? Wait a minute. He asked, rolling over and sitting up, stretching a little lazily.

However, Lenia did not answer, but reached out and instructed Duke to look at Tiger's bed next to him.

Duke looked at her with some confusion, only to find that Tiger was no longer in his bed, and even the saber he had unsheathed before going to bed was gone.

"Did he get up and go to duty first? You should have woken me up earlier. At this time, Duke's mind was still a little confused, and he thought that Lenia was afraid that he would not get enough sleep, so he took the night for himself and Tiger for a while.

Then he quickly came back to his senses, glared at Lenia and said, "This kid ran away?"

For a while, he felt a little remorseful in his heart, although he was wary of Tiger along the way, but for three consecutive days, Tiger showed the qualities that a good guide should have, and the anxiety in his eyes did not seem to be fake, so Duke's vigilance naturally weakened a little, but he didn't expect this kid to finally run away in his true form tonight!

"I was about to change shifts with you when I noticed a dark shadow flying out of the tent to the south, I thought he had done something bad to you, so I hurried over, only to find that the Tiger Knight was missing. ”

As she spoke, Lenia took the fire breaker from her belt and lit the lamps in the tent, allowing Duke to see more clearly what was going on inside the tent.

Duke got up and examined it for a while, but found that nothing important was missing, and the documents and seals on the table were as orderly as they were before going to bed.

He said a little strangely: "That black shadow should be Tiger, but he didn't do anything and chose to run away now, did he spend so much time to bring us here?"

"I'm not sure what he's thinking, do we need to go along and have a look?" asked Lenia, shaking her head.

"Oh, he's been gone for a while, is there a way you can catch up?"

"When I saw him, I secretly marked it with vindictiveness, and because I was stronger than him, I was not noticed. ”

Duke touched his smooth chin, and there was some emotion in his heart, and it didn't seem dangerous to take Lenia, who was already level 6, to track down a level 5 tiger.

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Without further ado, let's go up and see what tricks he is doing!"

Lenia nodded in agreement, and took the lead in opening the curtain door and walked out, Duke also picked out a coat suitable for night movement and followed.

The south side of the camp was not the direction of Agnes, as Tiger had signaled earlier, nor was it the direction back to the fortress of the North, but it was likely to lead to the remnants of the beast's lair.

Therefore, although Lenia is strong and clearly knows Tiger's location, in order not to startle the snake and ensure safety, she and Duke are still careful not to use fighting energy and magic power, but only rely on their superior physical fitness to pull the lord to follow quickly.

The two of them walked through the one-man tall bushes and dense branches, getting farther and farther away from the camp. As we deepened, the surrounding scenery gradually became brighter, and the faint moonlight was clouded with a blue-black phantom.

Lenia dragged Duke for a while but suddenly stopped, and Duke was just as he was confused when he heard her say, "The mark I made suddenly disappeared, and he may have noticed that we were following him." ”

"That's it. Duke secretly sighed in his heart, and said helplessly: "Since he has found out, let's go back to the camp first to discuss and determine what our next plan is." ”

Lenia was silent for a while and did not speak, and suddenly blushed and Duke whispered, "Lord, do you hear the sound of water around?"

Duke listened carefully for a while, and indeed there was a rumbling sound of water in the distance, probably a waterfall or a stream.

He looked at Lenia, who was a little squirming, with some confusion, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and he couldn't help asking, "Are you going to ......?"

She just nodded silently, her whole face turned red, and it was the first time Duke had seen her chief knight lady have such a small woman's posture.

He was also a little overwhelmed for a while, he didn't expect this kind of plot to happen to him, so he said a little later: "If you want to go, hurry up, I'll go back to the camp first......"

At this time, Lenia suddenly approached Duke's face, exhaled like a brand, and said, "Lord, I mean...... You set the wind for me. ”

Duke's brain pounded a little dazed, and he took a few steps back, he felt that something was wrong with Lenia tonight, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Lenia, however, seemed to be out of the way, her right hand gently rested on Duke's shoulder, rhythmically caressing his shoulders and neck, and even the base of his ear, and exhaled softly to his ear, "How?"

Hiss!

Duke took a few steps back again and escaped from Lenia's grasp, his face flushed as if he had drunk wine, after all, it was the first time he had seen a girl so active in two lifetimes, but his eyes were becoming clearer.

He stood still, took a deep breath, calmed the throbbing in his heart, and asked coldly, "Lenia, this scene reminds me of the good times we used to spend in the Duke's treasury, don't you say?"

Lenia's movements as she approached again froze slightly, revealing a different charm with a shy, determined face.

She was stunned, then smiled and said, "Of course, I will never forget." ”

After saying that, she leaned towards Duke as if she had lost all her strength, but was quickly dodged by Duke deftly.

Duke looked at Lenya, who had suddenly become unusually active and wrong in front of him, with some regret, and sighed leisurely.

The hellish Duke's treasury and the good times are all false stories he is talking about, just to test whether the "Lenia" in front of her is really her.

The result was, of course, as false as he expected, after all, he was still quite self-aware of himself in two lives, and the girl took the initiative to attack him, and it was really only possible in dreams and illusions.

"Okay, don't go any further, it'll be annoying to watch too much. ”

Duke shouted into the void, and as soon as he finished speaking, the scene began to distort and change, and the surrounding psychedelic scenery and "Lenia" began to shatter into pieces like broken mirrors, and finally turned into powder and annihilated in the void.

In an instant, the scenery changed again, and the bushes in the wild were transformed into campfires, and Duke found himself standing outside his tent, a branch of a withered old tree stinging slightly on his shoulders and neck.

He suddenly couldn't imagine what kind of intimacy he would have with this old tree that had been dead for an unknown number of years if things went according to the script he knew.

"Gan, I remember you. ”

After using his mental power to confirm that the environment he was in was the real world, Duke secretly cursed in his heart.
