Chapter 2: El Blue Shield

It is also five kilometers away from the city of El Lan Shield. Elsie's footsteps were numb, no more than walking on her own, and she had to hurry and even trot all the way to catch up with Dylan. Looking at the sun in the sky, it was already about five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was about an hour and a half before it was completely dark. Although it was still too late, the sun had already begun to slip in the west, and it would only take an hour for the sky to become dark. Although he was already very tired, Elsie could hold on a little longer, and there was no more than the next marathon on the way. Because of the embarrassing thing that happened before, Elsie finally shut up, but his stomach actually screamed in the hurry, and it screamed so loudly that even Dylan, who was concentrating on the hurry, couldn't help but look sideways, but fortunately he didn't say anything (and won't say anything), but took out some dry food from the package wrapped around his waist, and then picked up the kettle hanging from his waist and handed it to Elsie. Dylan is obviously not a person who can enjoy life, and he is not in a position to enjoy it now, dry food is difficult to swallow, but after being paired with water, he has a feeling of fullness that he has not felt for a long time. This gave Elsie some strength back. She didn't dare to eat too much, only ate a little bit, and returned it to Dylan with a little red face, Dylan just took it and continued on his way, still not saying a word as always.

It's been walking for about two hours now, but Dylan's face still doesn't change, his heart doesn't beat, and even the speed of his steps hasn't changed at all, and he doesn't feel tired at all. Elsie followed behind, and couldn't help but keep sneaking at him, he was already tired. Why didn't this person react at all, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he could walk thirty kilometers without changing his face. In fact, she didn't know that Dylan was already slowing down to take care of her, and if he was in a hurry, he would have walked even faster.

Elsie was thinking about it, suddenly Dylan lifted the back of her neck and jumped to the tree on the side of the road, and hid into the depths of the bushes, Elsie was confused by this operation, and was about to speak, but Dylan covered his mouth, but Dylan didn't explain, just turned his head and looked at the front of them just now, Elsie also followed his gaze, but couldn't see anything, after a while, he heard a little noisy sound coming, turned a tree, and saw two men and a woman creatures coming over, the reason why they are creatures and not people is because although they have heads and feet to walk upright, they look hideous and terrifying, and the two males are tall and mighty, the body is brown, one has horns on the head, the face is blue and fanged, the other hands are muscular, the thickness of an adult's thighs, and the hands are like the claws of a wild beast, shining with a terrifying cold light. The female was delicate, convex and backward, but her blue-purple skin, hideous face and long, wagging tail could discourage the ape-hearted horseman.

It's the demon !! Elsie, although he can't speak, he screams in his heart. The horror of the camp that night came before her eyes, and the irrepressible panic made her tremble. Dylan saw that she couldn't suppress her fear, so he had to pat her back comfortably with his other hand. Elsie clenched the staff in her hand, trying her best to calm down, she motioned for Dylan to let go of her hand with her eyes, then took a few deep breaths and whispered in a trembling voice, "...... Concealment!" The tip of the small staff emitted a faint light, shooting around Dylan and Elsie and disappearing, indicating that the spell was successful, Elsie looked at the staff in disbelief, she didn't expect that she would succeed at once. Elsie's magical talent doesn't seem to have been inherited by his parents, and he is unusually poor. She even lagged behind her classmates so much that she had to go to the academy on her days off to catch up with her classmates since she was a child. This success was all extraordinary. Dylan judged that these should be three E-class demons when the three demons appeared in his sight. The three E-class demon Dylan can still fight, but when he saw Elsie actually use a concealment technique, he turned his head and looked at her in surprise, he suddenly gave up the idea of going down to fight, and shrank in the canopy with Elsie.

The three demons didn't notice them, and they didn't even walk towards them, and after appearing in sight, they turned left and burrowed into the woods by the roadside. After a few more moments, sensing that they were already far away, Dylanty jumped off the tree with Elsie in his way.

As soon as he landed, Elsie gasped for breath, "I'm scared to death, this is the first time I've seen it since I was separated from my uncle... That kind of monster. She swallowed, seemingly a little frightened. Dylan didn't say a word, just raised his chin slightly forward to signal that he was about to hurry, and his steps were already striding out, Elsie shrugged his shoulders and trotted after him.

El Lan Shield City, the defensive point of the outer city walls.

In the narrow corridor, five or six men in their twenties and thirties in blue-gray cloth armor were talking and laughing in a low voice, a boy with reddish-brown curly hair and freckles looked very young and out of place, he was not as relaxed as the other men, but his eyes were a little nervous and uncertain, he leaned against the wall on the side, his hands wrapped around a small magic staff, peeking at a few men, his lips opened and closed, and he wanted to stop talking. The mighty and strong man on the side was talking meat, and when he saw his expression, his voice changed: "Little George, look at your cowardice, is this city wall leaking?

"Hahaha-" Everyone laughed, and their eyes were focused on little George, with both mockery and sympathy.

"Poor little George, he came out to work before the full moon, fortunately, the demons have already attacked a wave, and they won't appear again in the short term, otherwise he won't be scared to pee his pants if he encounters it?"

There was another burst of laughter, and little George's face was so red that his hair almost colored. Enough is enough! A man with a bright eyebrow shouted, and the laughter dropped a lot, and little George looked at the man with grateful eyes, but the man ignored him, but turned his head to look at the window: "Someone is coming." This was more effective than enough, and everyone fell silent and came to the window.

"Who's coming!" the man who stopped the crowd shouted outward, and looking down from the window, two people, tall and short, walked over, neither of them looked like monsters, and the taller man looked up when he heard the sound, so that the people on the city wall could see his face clearly.

"It's Dylan. The man turned his head and said to little George, "Go down and open the door." "Ahh

Elsie followed behind Dylan, wearing a hood, hiding her body and staff under her cloak, she looked up at this mighty city, in front of her was a city gate six or seven meters high and more than four meters wide, the wide city wall stretched from both sides of the gate, there was no end in sight, the wall and the door were thick blue-black, impermeable, squinting hard to find that there seemed to be a small window on the city wall that could be observed.

After a slight squeak, the door opened, but it was not a huge gate in the center, but a small door in the gate that could be entered and exited by a single person, and the door was closely attached to the gate itself, if it wasn't for the crack, Elsie wouldn't have seen clearly, Dylan in front of him had already walked over, and she hurriedly followed.

A young face leaked out of the door, a little freckled boy with red hair and black eyes, who looked to be only a little older than Elsie, perhaps fifteen or sixteen years old. He said to Dylan, "Bless." Then he looked at Elsie behind Dylan with a puzzled look. Elsie hurriedly wanted to take off her hood, but Dylan stopped her very quickly, and then said to little George, "People." โ€

"Oh-ohโ€”" Little George didn't ask again, leaned sideways to let the two in, and then sealed the small door.

As soon as he entered the city, Elsie was dazzled by the open space near the city wall, and when he entered, he saw that there were high and low houses, and from the periphery, there seemed to be not many people, and there was a large road in the middle, and there were various lanes around it, stretching for a thousand kilometers. Dylan didn't care about the little George who closed the door behind him, and walked to the city by himself, Elsie was unfamiliar with the place, so he naturally followed closely, and after a while, he walked in front of a small second-floor bungalow with a yard, although this house is not exquisite, but compared to other houses that seem to be more or less dilapidated along the way, it already seems that the environment is good. Pushing open the iron gate of the yard, Dylan walked in, it seemed that this was his home, Elsie thought to himself. She didn't know what Dylan meant, and she was willing to invite him into the house to sit down, so she hesitated outside the door. Dylan may not have heard the footsteps that had been following him, and looked back at Elsie, who was still standing outside the door staring at him, and raised his chin again, motioning for her to come in, Elsie was a little overwhelmed and touched the small staff under his cloak, and followed in.

Following into the small building, Elsie looked around, the room was very simple and clean, the living room only had a sofa and a coffee table, a vertical cabinet stacked in the corner, and a dining area inside, with a table and two chairs, the kitchen that could be seen inside was open, and there were two closed doors on the side of the stairs going upstairs.

Elsie was a little cramped, he rarely came to strangers' houses, not to mention that the owner of the house still looked at her silently, she bowed her head timidly and fumbled with her staff at random, and even forgot to take off her hood.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and I saw a person running down the stairs, and someone cried before they arrived: "Dylanโ€”โ€”!!! you're finally back!!!" Elsie was startled and looked up the stairs, only to see a woman with dark green hair and a brown-green flower skirt running down, she was about to pounce with her teeth and claws, but stopped the moment she saw Elsie, and asked calmly and kindly: "Is it from outside the city?" Elsie was shocked by her magical change of face, and in an instant she stopped her hands, and then the woman raised one hand and took off her hood, and when she saw her face, the woman turned her head and gave Dylan a thumbs up.

Dylan's face has not changed for thousands of years, and after he saw that the woman had begun to shush Elsie and ask warm questions, he turned around and walked out of the room, Elsie saw it out of the corner of his eye, and was about to call him to stop, but he was pulled by the woman and sat on the sofa together.
