"I..."Cecily opened her mouth, unable to hold back anything, it was the first time she had hit a wall like this, every time she helped others before, she was grateful to Dade, she was almost immune to other people's thanks, but Ariel's rhetorical question made her unexpected.

Seeing that Ariel's suspicion became more and more obvious, Cerseili chopped her feet angrily, and said hatefully: "Are you just doing nothing like this, why don't you wait? ”

Thinking of Ayton again, Ariel's heart is about to rise to her throat, and there should be nothing wrong with multiple knife blockers, but the problem is that if she leaves, her brother can't find her when he comes, so what should I do?

Suddenly, she set her eyes on the fat man Reiner, who was hiding behind Cecily, and a very rare 'kind' smile appeared on her face.

......

In the dark underground, Starry Night's eyes were no longer able to shed tears in pain, and his body was still struggling, trying to get rid of the hemp rope that bound him, and his white ankles, snowy jade neck, and soft wrists had been ground into deep scars of bright red.

Feeling the slight loosening of the hemp rope, the innocent girl who is as pure as white paper is still working hard...

Boom...

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the narrow corridors, the potholes that could be seen everywhere, the notches cut by the blades, the marks made by the dark blades, the holes caused by the shadow arrows, and the sound of fighting gradually became sparse.

Raya gasped as if her chest were rising and falling in an airfield, and the sneer on her lips never disappeared.

"Yes, can you still hold on, are you sure you don't plan to run away?

Ayton's abdomen was cut a few times, and pale red blood oozed from it, but fortunately it didn't hurt the blood vessels.

It's just that the pain in his chest pressed Ayton was a little out of breath, his face was as pale as paper, and the light blue arc fighting qi was like a wild horse raging in the fighting qi channel, thanks to the dark magic, he was able to hold on until now, but now, the magic power in his body was almost exhausted.

"Escape, I think it's you who should escape, and to tell you the truth, Ariel may come back at any time, and when the time comes, I can't guarantee that you won't die without pain."

"Hmph, stubbornly resistant. Raya sneered and rushed forward again, taking advantage of her short height to attack from various insidious angles.

But these are nothing, the key is that the opponent often uses the same way of playing! Seeing the blade slashing towards him, his body did not dodge or dodge, and attacked directly from another angle, forcing Ayton to change his tactics and defend, and he was very timid, and several wounds in the abdomen were caused by this.

Until now, Ayton no longer dared to take the initiative to attack, but instead defended passively, looking for an opportunity to defeat the enemy with one blow, but Raya was obviously cautious and did not give him a chance at all.

If he continued to fight like this, sooner or later, Ayton would be the first to lose due to physical exhaustion, and he didn't dare to bet that the other party would be merciful and let him live.

Sensing the retreat in Ayton's eyes, Raya sneered, and the attack became more and more violent, and all kinds of deadly tricks were used together, trying to become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Ayton condensed the last vestiges of magic in his body and unleashed a shadow arrow that forced Raya back, letting out a deafening roar.

"Finally, I'll ask you, where is the starry night!?cough cough cough..." After shouting these words, Ayton suddenly felt a churn in his lungs, and he leaned down and coughed violently, and the foamy thick phlegm was mixed with blood.

"Hehe, didn't I just say that I want to know her whereabouts and give me enough convincing reasons. Seeing that his strength was on the verge of overdraft, Raya was not in a hurry to attack, and gave him a chance to breathe on the spot.

Ayton touched the blood stains left on the corner of his mouth and whispered, "What reason?

"Isn't that clear? That's the reason you saved her, that girl is just a dark elf hybrid, without any identity background, even if she dies in a dirty garbage can, no one will know, she will only be dumped into the river outside the city with the stinking garbage, and then eaten by the fish and shrimp in the river, oh, if you are lucky, you will be buried in the soil as fertilizer... It's like those twenty or so black-fingered members in the backyard. ”

The bland tone, the suffocating content... Ayton swallowed, only now did he understand why the people of the South District called her 'Demon', this girl's heart could not be described as twelve years old, it was really a demonic mind living in hell.

"I don't know what you've been through, or what you're trying to appeal for, if I have to tell why, then I'm sorry, I can't explain it to you one by one, anyway, she is very important to me, and I won't have any bad thoughts about it, let alone do anything to restrict her personal freedom. ”

Regarding the reason for rescuing Starry Night, Ayton seriously reflected on a few points in such a short time.

The first is that Starry Night had taken him and Ariel in for one night, and secondly, she valued her excellent and superb enchantment knowledge, as well as various magic traps, as well as sympathy for the girl's unfortunate death, love for her obedient and well-behaved, and closeness to her half of the dark elf bloodline...

But Raya seems to simply think he's hungry for her... Maybe a little bit, ahhhh

"Hehe, am I really a three-year-old?" Raya sneered again, but this time there was a clear waver in the laughter.

"Believe it or not, anyway, if something happens to the starry night, don't think about asking for my mercy in the future" After a short rest, the fighting spirit finally recovered a little, and Ayton looked directly at Raya with a little confidence.

"Look for death!" Raya suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday in the alley, she pretended to be pitiful and begged for mercy in the alley by the other party who did not know her demonic name, and suddenly felt ashamed and rushed straight to Ayton.

"Don't fight!!"

Hysterical cries came from behind Raya, and she turned her head sharply to find the silver-haired, waist-high, tear-stained girl of the same age, leaning against the wall with her hands against the door, leaning out half of her body with difficulty.

"Starry Night?!" Ayton looked at the pitiful girl in surprise, I don't know how she ran out of the storage room, and during the fight, he noticed that there was an empty room inside, no one...

"Brother Ayton..."Starry Night saw the bright red of Ayton's abdomen and pale face, and couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of his eyes.

When Raya saw her expression, the battle intent in her eyes quietly passed, and the dagger in her hand was also put behind her back. Starry Night couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart, and ran straight to Raya.

"Stop, danger!" Ayton's face changed suddenly, although both were about twelve years old, but this physique was completely different, and when she went up on the starry night, Raya could solve her with a face.

To his surprise, Raya didn't put up any resistance, and stood straight waiting for her to come.

Syllable...

A crisp and loud slap resounded through the devastated corridors...

Ayton froze in place, Raya seemed to have expected this kind of scene, and lowered her head blankly.

"Why..."After Starry Night finished this beat, she didn't continue, her hazy red eyes trembled, as if she was questioning why she saved herself, but she almost wanted to kill Ayton...

"......" Raya kept her head down and didn't speak, paused, turned around, and slowly walked away towards the end of the hallway.

"Brother Ayton..."Starry Night clenched his fists and turned his head to look at Ayton, his eyes were half moved, half self-blame, and he didn't dare to step in.

Ayton sighed lightly, put the sword behind his back, opened his arms, and said softly, "You're okay..."

Starry Night couldn't hold back again, threw herself into his arms and cried loudly, grief and self-blame are difficult to elaborate, but the most... Still moved from the heart.

Ayton's fingers gently stroked her long silky hair, and his mood throbbed slightly.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone..."
