"How are we going to get there, it's a long way from El Lan Dun to the Emperor, so let's just keep walking?"

Four years of indifferent life with each other, and the fact that the person in his memory is not similar to the previous but has changed, it is difficult for Elsie to get along with Doro as intimately as before, and to spoil him to his heart's content.

It wasn't until she had walked for a long time that she opened her mouth almost cautiously.

Doro didn't speak, but stopped, he looked up at the sun, they deliberately avoided the small village, looking through the mottled shadows, they could vaguely discern the current position of the sun, and compared things, it should be about four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

Starting from Ellan Shield, it was about eleven o'clock in the morning, it had been so long, for Doro, this kind of long-term regular or somewhat slow walking could not affect anything, he glanced back at Elsie, and found that the latter was bending over and hammering his legs with a tired face, he thought that he had taken good care of Elsie, and he also stopped for a short rest on the way, but it seemed that the long running still made it difficult for the young and physically exhausted Elsie to parry.

Elsie felt the gaze and looked up at her, and Doro had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if Elsie was about to pounce on him and cry that he couldn't walk, but no, the latter shook his legs and followed, saying, "I'm sorry, let's keep walking." ”

Doro stopped her and asked, "Are you hungry?" and without waiting for Elsie to answer, he added, "It's getting dark, let's stop here today." Elsie was actually relieved, her legs were actually almost numb, completely stiff and carried away by consciousness.

"That's it, you rest here first, and I'll go around and get some firewood and food. After Doro finished saying to Elsie, he turned around and was about to leave, but finally turned his head again: "Don't worry, you won't go far." ”

"I see. Elsie nodded, seeing Doro walking away, she took a few steps to the edge of the tree, sat down with her back against her buttocks, the moment she sat down, she felt that her legs were not her own, and a few hard hammers could not relieve the soreness and numbness, Elsie simply gave up, and tried to rest his body against the tree, it was not too late, Doro was also a person who counted, he said that he would not go far and must be nearby, and Elsie was not very scared alone.

I don't know how long it took, Elsie opened her eyes suddenly, it seems that she is indeed too tired, she actually fell asleep, usually nothing, it is not a good habit to fall asleep when she is tired now, it is dark, she quickly looked around, and found that Doro was next to him, and she could only see his back and the back of his head in the angle problem. There was a fire, warmly lit up the surroundings, and the aroma came, and Elsie rubbed his confused eyes to see that in Doro's hands, it should be a rabbit, already roasted and bubbling with oil.

Elsie reflexively swallowed, she hadn't eaten for a day, she wasn't fine, and her stomach twitched and hurt a little when she smelled it.

Trying to get up and walk over, he found that his legs had not rested well, because it was so close, Elsie climbed a few steps on his elbows, and moved to Doro in a somewhat indecent posture, Doro had already heard the movement, he grabbed the wooden stick with the rabbit in one hand, tore off a thigh with the other, and handed it to the people around him: "Eat." ”

Elsie was also hungry, took the rabbit leg and whispered, and at the same time threw it around alternately with his left hand and right hand, but he couldn't catch it, it looked hot and not light, Doro stretched out his hand and grabbed the leg in the air, seeing Elsie's eyes stunned, he reluctantly handed it to her mouth, "Eat." ”

Elsie peeked at him a few times, because his stomach was really hungry, so he went up and nibbled on it, it was still hot, but it was bearable, Elsie opened his mouth with meat in his mouth and took a few breaths, then chewed and swallowed, she felt that there was finally food in her stomach again, and she took a few more bites, Doro estimated that the temperature was almost the same, and put the rabbit leg back in Elsie's hand, and pulled a piece of meat to eat.

Elsie thought he was really powerful, the temperature of her screaming was nothing to Doro, the two of them had eaten, Doro took out the kettle out of nowhere and handed it to him, the two drank it alternately, Doro said, "Rest, we have to leave tomorrow." ”

Doro wanted to put out the fire so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, but he thought that he didn't care, and Elsie might not be able to stand the low temperature of the night, so he gave up again.

The two of them rested around the fire by the tree, Doro was not ready to sleep, he could still hold on, he leaned against the tree and closed his eyes, but in fact he was conscious, and his ears were always paying attention to the surroundings, it was useless to open his eyes to look around at night, the important thing was to listen to the movement, he leaned on the other side of the tree from the fire, hidden in the shadows.

Elsie was a little difficult, thinking that she was still thinking about going to training with Dylan in the morning, and she only wore single clothes for convenience, just for a day. She left the fallen Ellan Shield, separated from Dylan Lina, and now spends the night in the suburbs with Doro, and the world is unpredictable. The single clothes are good for the temperature of the day, but it is a little not enough to see now, because the campfire is not a fireplace, she can't get too close, and now she is warm in the direction of the flame, but her shoulders are cold, and the comparison is even more uncomfortable.

Elsie pondered for a long time before asking, "Doro, can I sleep on you?" ”

A voice came from the shadow of the tree: "Are you cold?"

Elsie didn't care if the other party could see it or not, and nodded.

Then she saw Doro get up from the shadows and walk towards him, and then sat down next to her, she didn't know if it was psychological, she immediately felt the warmth of the place next to the person, and she said softly, "Thank you." ”

Doro asked, "Is that better, do you need me to hold you?"

Elsie hurriedly shook her head and said in a panic: "No need, it's enough." ”

Doro closed his eyes, didn't reply, didn't fall asleep.

Elsie wanted to talk to him, but listening to the steady breathing around him, and wondering if he was asleep, thinking about it, he fell into a deep sleep again.

Maybe it's too secure, even if it's an unsafe environment, by his side, you can easily fall asleep. Elsie woke up in the morning.

She suddenly found that her upper body, which had been leaning on Doro's shoulder, had slipped onto Doro's lap overnight, and was now almost lying in Doro's arms.

Elsie hurriedly got up, but she didn't notice a sore leg because she used too much force, and almost sat back down, a strong hand below helped her, Doro stood up with Elsie in her arms, he looked clear, I don't know if he just woke up or didn't sleep all night.

"What's wrong?" Doro's calm voice sounded, and Elsie replied with a bitter face, "My thighs are so sore, and it hurts when I move." ”

Doro reached up with one hand and pinched it, Elsie exhaled in pain, and Doro said calmly: "The muscles are overworked, we have to find a means of transportation today." Doro stood up, "I'll carry you, there's a town ahead, let's find a carriage." ”

With that, Doro bent down with his back to Elsie and motioned for him to come up. Elsie was a little embarrassed, and Doro, seeing that she hadn't moved, said to her, "Your weight is nothing to me. ”

If you are shy any longer, it will be a drag, Elsie fell on his stomach, although Doro has a mature and calm temperament, but he is actually only two years older than Elsie, and he is only fifteen this year, although his back is not thicker than that of an adult, but in Elsie's feelings, he is inexplicably relieved.

Doro held Elsie's thigh with his hand, and his speed was not slow step by step, and it seemed that what he had just said was not the truth.

After a long time, I walked out of the woods where I had walked for a day.

As soon as I came out, I felt that I had come to a populated place, there were fences and houses, not much, it should be the periphery of the town, but it was not angry, although I didn't see the figure of the demon activity, but presumably this place was also invaded.

For this kind of scattered small village and town, there is no resistance in the face of the demons, even if it is a low-level Xiaobo demon clan, the only choice they can have is to flee and be killed. The people here obviously didn't want to resist desperately, there were not many corpses on the street, and although the buildings were destroyed, there were not many traces of battle, and it seemed that the people here were very aware of the current affairs and did not choose to resist desperately.

Doro's feet stepped over a corpse lying in the middle of the road, and Elsie could only pretend not to see it on his back, she was much braver. But that didn't mean she could look at the bloody corpse without changing its color, and with a silent repose, she asked, "What are we looking for here?" and they were almost through the town.

"It looks like it's just ahead. Doro replied, and Elsie looked over and was out of town, and on the other side there was an isolated house with a stable beside it, and from it came the sound of horses snorting. Approaching there was an earthy yellow horse, which was chained in the stable, and it seemed that the owner had not had time to ride him on and escape, and the others had not had time to untie it, so it was left here.

Seeing someone coming, the horse shook his head and snorted loudly, but did not retreat, and looked more happy.

Doro squatted slightly, Elsie fell, she limped to the side, and asked, "I suddenly thought of a question...... Don't demons kill animals?"

Doro replied, "Maybe." With a flick of his hand, a huge sword appeared in his hand, and with a slight slash broke the chains, and the horse was free, and spun in circles, shaking its head, but not running away at once.

Elsie noticed something he should have noticed a long time ago, his weapon, a huge heavy sword, which seemed to rush into the woods and his attention was on Dylan, but he hadn't seen it since he was resting, and now it suddenly appeared in his hand.

Elsie opened his mouth to ask, but Doro's voice was calm, "Come up first," he pointed to the horse, and the heavy sword was gone again.

Immediately put on the reins, Elsie grabbed the force, and Doro gently lifted her up behind him, and Doro jumped on the horse and sat behind her, holding the reins.

When the two of them finally didn't have to hike any more, Elsie sat down in front of him and stroked the mane of the horse, then turned back and said, "This horse is so well-behaved, how about a name for him, maybe we will have to go together in the future." ”

Doro had already driven his horse to run, and his voice was faint: "You are free. ”

Elsie had an idea: "Call, Atu, it's earthy yellow." ”

Doro still didn't fluctuate: "It's okay." ”

Elsie pursed her lips, feeling bored, leaned over and whispered in Ma'er's ear: "You will be called Atu, and you will take care of it later." ”

Ah Tu screamed, not knowing whether he was happy or dissatisfied.
