Chapter 10 To the Imperial Capital
Dylan's wound slowly closed, although it looked like there were still obvious scars, but the blood loss had completely stopped, but Dylan never woke up, maybe because of the excessive blood loss, he still needed to go to a safe place to rest.
Elsie got up and walked over to Doro, who looked up at her, "Sit down with me." Elsie sat next to him, but didn't look at him, as if a little embarrassed and a little tangled.
Doro said, "You've grown up a lot. Elsie replied embarrassedly: "You too." "Compared to Elsie, Doro was only two years older than her, but he already seemed to be reliable and strong. Elsie thought to herself.
"Why are you here? are you the only one?" asked Elsie, after a moment's thought.
"I took Hunter's request to come to support. β
The two fell into an awkward silence again.
"Thank you for saving us. β
"As I said, we don't have to be so strange. β
Elsie was speechless again, she really had a lot to say, and she couldn't ask, I don't know if Doro thought the same way. She looked up at the people around her, only to see that those dark green eyes were also staring at her.
Elsie immediately retracted his gaze, and the person next to him suddenly stood up, and Elsie keenly felt that he was silently helping down the trunk of the tree when he got up, as if he was still a little physically exhausted.
"It's time for us to go, let's talk on the way. β
"Where are you going? go now, and don't rest again," Elsie asked, confused, "and I see you'reβ"
"I'm fine. Doro interrupted stiffly, "Let's leave now, go to the imperial capital, it's even more difficult to leave later." β
Elsie looked at the siblings, "Dylan hasn't rested yet. β
Doro grabbed him by the arm and lifted him up, and Elsie noticed that he was so strong that it hurt to grab her arm. Doro looked her in the eye and said, "It's just the two of us, and the rest of us are a burden." β
Elsie immediately wanted to open his mouth to refute, but found that he couldn't say anything strong to Doro, so he had to speak weakly: "They helped me a lot. β
Doro said, "I saved their lives. β
Elsie sighed, she found that she was still like when she was a child, she couldn't talk to him, and she was blocked by his words.
Seeing her hesitate, Doro said again: "Next, if they don't get close to the city, there won't be much danger, the news that the imperial capital has received is the invasion of the demons in the past few months, and the demons seem to want to occupy the city purposefully, but there are few traces of the demons in the wilderness, just be careful of some dangerous species that are inherent in the continent." β
He said this loudly, not only to Elsie, but also indirectly to the survivors around him.
"Your parents should be in the imperial capital. Doro gave another heavy **, and Elsie suddenly became nervous: "Really?" Doro hugged his chest and leaned against the tree and replied, "Why don't you go and see for yourself." β
Elsie actually had a consideration in his heart, Doro is now strong, and he is useless at all, but it is a drag on Dylan and them, but following Doro has no effect on him. In fact, she wanted everyone to act together, but he knew that Doro said that there were only two of them, and he was not qualified, and he could not convince Doro to bring the others with him.
Elsie sighed, "Let me say goodbye to them." β
"Time is running out. Doro replied.
Elsie knew he had agreed, and turned to run back, and Doro looked at her and Rick in detail, and Rick touched her head, nodded in agreement, and then turned his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
After talking to Rick, Elsie ran to Fislina and threw herself into her arms, Fislina immediately hugged her, and Elsie's muffled voice came out: "Sister Linna, I'm sorry..." β
Elsie looked up and saw Fesrina's gentle smile, and tears flowed: "Thank you for taking care of you during this time. I've caused you a lot of trouble. Fisrina wiped away her tears and said, "It's okay. Doro coughed as he watched them linger and reluctantly.
Hearing this, Elsie stood up and said, "When Dylan wakes up, you help me say goodbye to him, I really thank him." β
Feslina nodded in agreement and waved her hand, she could see that the dark-haired mysterious man was a little impatient, but since they knew each other, and the man was strong, Elsie should be safe with him.
Elsie followed Doro, it was like turning back three times in one step, and the survivors around them watched them leave, although they also wanted to follow the powerful people, but they couldn't do anything, and then, they didn't know who to give their lives to.
It wasn't until he couldn't see everyone and walked a long way away that Elsie sighed: "I still owe Dylan money for clothes." Doro was stunned and comforted: "There is a fate to meet." Elsie replied, "I hope so." β
She was still a little lost, but because of this, she didn't know if she needed the money or not, and saw two cities fall one after another, one of which was where she grew up, and she now had a sense of unreality, is this going to be the end of the world?
In Elsie's upbringing, she always felt that the demon world should be a legendary existence, until the vicious and terrifying demons appeared in front of her eyes, since there are demons, will there also be gods and angels? will the goddess of light and the goddess of life also exist? will they also come to this world? the legend uses these magic with the help of the power of the gods, but she is too weak, she can't understand the high-level magicians described in the book can communicate with the gods and the like.
Doro watched Elsie just keep hurrying away, his eyes were empty and he didn't know what to think, he had the impression that the child was a person who talked a lot, and sometimes he could even quarrel with him, could it be that what she had experienced in the past few days frightened her?
"What are you thinking. Doro finally couldn't take it anymore, and Elsie said, "Ah." After thinking about his question, he said a little depressedly: "I just feel that since the day the Demon Realm invaded, my worldview has been broken. Doro chuckled, "Then what are you doing now, doubting life?"
Elsie glanced at him dissatisfied, she didn't realize that she and Doro had unknowingly gone from a sudden and awkward encounter to a shadow of the old life together. "I won't, I'm going to try to get stronger now, find my mom and dad, let them know that I can protect myself, and I'll grow up. β
Doro looked at her serious appearance, and couldn't help but touch his head, in fact, he wanted to do it when he saw her with tears in the crowd for the first time, it was good, it was like four years ago, his smile was suppressed, and the hand that had been on Elsie's head was stiffly retracted, and he seemed to suddenly become indifferent, and became Elsie's unfamiliar look.
After a while, he spoke: "You don't have to be stronger at all, no one will hurt you with me." It's just that the tone is not like comfort, like what kind of assurance, Elsie didn't want to refute at all, she knew that she couldn't say anything about him, Doro wouldn't talk at length, but he could always choke people can't reply. What he said really makes sense, who makes him strong? He can only be protected by him now.
Although Doro's sudden indifference made Elsie strange, she knew that he had always been like this to herself, hot and cold, inexplicable.
As Elsie walked and trotted up, he thought to himself, he and Dylan have something in common, that is, they never take care of other people's paces, eh, wait for me......
