Chapter 46: Before the Storm

Sean was going to cry, really, if it was in Daddy's warm arms or in the toilet by now, he would have cried.

After encountering the "corpse" in the morning, since he didn't know where those people were, he called a few people to clean up the blood stains and ignored the matter.

But who knew that in the evening, he was called by the guards from Winterstone.

After listening to the other party's inquiry, Sean was immediately dumbfounded.

Killings that were usually rare have happened one after another today. Well, in the morning that "scammed the corpse", but the scene of an attack was found in the woods.

And the guards faintly hinted that the person who was attacked had a lot to do with the lord of Winterstone, the third princess of the kingdom. At the same time, he was also a nobleman.

A nobleman has been attacked and disappeared in his area of responsibility, and if something happens at the end, he will need to take the blame.

Thinking of this, Sean wanted to cry without tears. Obviously, it used to be such a peaceful place, why did it become like this when he took over? It's the demons attacking again, and the nobles are missing again.

It's only been a month's errand, and Sean really doesn't know if he'll encounter something more terrible if he continues.

The guards from Winterstone seemed to be sympathetic to him, probably thinking the same way he was.

Thinking of this, Sean said with a bitter face: "Mr. Rudy, do you want to have a drink with me?" By the way, let's talk about it. ”

The captain of the guard squad who was called by Sean was stunned, and then nodded with a smile: "Okay." ”

……

It was already night, and Zhou Yan said to Youyou and Yu'er who were following him: "Today, let's rest here." ”

They were in the woods at this time, and it was beginning to be extremely difficult to move forward, even with the help of the moonlight. There seemed to be some beast lurking in the dark, and after judging that continuing to rush would only make his own personnel more tired, Zhou Yan decided to stop hurrying.

Youyou has no opinion on this, and as for Yu'er, who is already a child, she will not object.

In the battle with the soul demon dream, Zhou Yan decisively pretended to be dead. Then he managed to deceive the other party and survived.

In this regard, Zhou Yan has expressed his deepest gratitude to his distant mother in his heart more than once. Now he finally understood why his mother taught himself the art of turtle breath before teaching him swordsmanship.

This kind of kung fu that can make people enter a state of suspended animation, although it is not a profound thing, it did save Zhou Yan's life.

After entering the turtle breath state, both the pulse and the heartbeat will stop completely for a short time until the breath is completely gone. And the demon dream probably also mistakenly thought that Zhou Yan was dead by virtue of his perception of Zhou Yan's breath.

Of course, this method also has a fatal flaw, that is, when you encounter an opponent who can make up the knife, you can only sit back and wait.

But if you think about it carefully, it has reached the point where you have to pretend to be dead, and I am afraid that it will definitely die regardless of whether you face the enemy on the front or back, so you can only bet on luck that the other party will not make up the knife.

After deceiving the demon dream, Zhou Yan's "fraudulent corpse" successfully scared off a crowd of onlookers. Then, Zhou Yan unexpectedly received a message from Li.

When Zhou Yan found the three girls in the hotel room he rented, Zhou Yan was really shocked. He hadn't expected them to hide so close.

But as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place. This sentence does have its truth, at least Youmeng didn't think that Youyou and the others would go around the corner and enter the hotel room.

After the convergence, Zhou Yan immediately decided to leave this place. That's why there is now a group of people sleeping in the wild.

"Yoyo, can you use magic to ignite these firewoods?"

After determining the location of the camping, Zhou Yan walked around alone, familiarized himself with the terrain, and ruled out the danger of this place. At the same time, he also picked up some dead branches that he could use to burn along the way.

"Do you want to make a fire?" Yoyo looked a little worried: "Isn't this a clear accusation that we are here?" ”

In the wild, where danger may arise at any time, starting a fire does require a lot of consideration, and it is not unreasonable to worry about it.

But Zhou Yan just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I know it too, but look at her." ”

With Zhou Yan's gesture, Youyou found that after Zhou Yan came back from patrolling, Yu'er had been grabbing his arm. Through the faint moonlight, you can also see the frightened expression on her face.

"And Yo-yo, aren't you feeling colder and colder?"

Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Yoyo felt a hint of coolness. Probably because she had been in a hurry before, she was in a state of exercise and she didn't notice it. Now that I've stopped and rested for so long, the calories from exercise have been exhausted, and the coolness of the early autumn evening breeze makes you hug your arms.

"I can handle it, but what about you?" Zhou Yan touched his nose and said: "Besides, the enemy doesn't know the direction we are going, and if this can be discovered, it can only be said that our luck is too bad." ”

"Okay." Yoyo nodded and didn't refute, waving his staff and chanting magic: "Ignition!" ”

It's the most rudimentary form of magic, and it's not very aggressive other than lighting a flame like the name suggests.

After the firelight was lit, a trace of warmth began to spread. The crackling sound also brought a little movement, dispelling the silence of the forest at night.

After the firelight was lit, Yu'er's expression eased a lot, and she was already asleep next to Zhou Yan at this time. Zhou Yan touched her hair with a doting expression, and her appearance, which was an adult but just a little girl on the inside, showed a comfortable expression, and her breathing gradually became even.

At this time, Zhou Yan felt that his eyes were staring at him tightly, and when he raised his head, he saw Youyou's eyes that were becoming more and more bright red in the firelight.

"Uh......" Zhou Yan, who was staring directly at those eyes, touched his nose in embarrassment: "That, Yoyo?" ”

"Mr. Yan, I need to explain......" Zhou Yan's name was still very imposing when he first shouted it, but the last five words were extremely downgraded. Even the gaze is unnaturally away.

Zhou Yan, who originally thought that Youyou would at least express his dissatisfaction angrily, felt inexplicably relieved after seeing the girl like this.

Fortunately, it's still that yoyo. The personality of the communication disorder has not changed, and if you look at people for only three seconds, you will definitely look away because you feel shy.

Speaking of which, it is obvious that Zhou Yan is at fault, but Yoyo, who is still worried about him and can't put on a tough attitude, is inevitably too clumsy in interpersonal communication.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan smiled bitterly and touched his nose, not embarrassing Youyou anymore: "Okay, I'll explain." ”

Looking down at Zhu'er who was already asleep again, Zhou Yan showed a nostalgic smile: "Yesterday was so crazy, just because of her." ”

"Huh? Is she someone from Mr. Yan? ”

Knowing that Zhou Yan was from another world, Yoyo immediately thought of a possibility.

"No, not really yet. It's just that she looks almost exactly like someone, and I wanted to make sure if she was that person, but yesterday something happened and she became like this. After Zhou Yan finished speaking, he looked directly at Youyou: "That, Youyou......"

"What, what ......" Youyou, who was stared at by Zhou Yan, couldn't help but stiffen his body, and responded with some slurred words.

"Thank you, and I'm sorry ......"

And Zhou Yan just thanked and apologized sincerely and seriously.

"Thank you or something, I didn't come to look for Mr. Yan's ......" The girl's face turned crimson, and she didn't know if it was roasted by the fire or something else.

Not to mention the statement that is already tantamount to self-confession, in fact, she can meet Yoyo here, and she is the only one who is here to find herself. Otherwise, Zhou Yan didn't think that he would meet her here by such a coincidence.

Zhou Yan did not debunk Youyou's arrogant attitude, but the gratitude was buried deep in his heart.

"And, why apologize?" Perhaps embarrassed, Yoyo changed the topic again.

"I'm not sure she's the one I'm looking for, though. However, I can be sure that she has an identity. Zhou Yan smiled bitterly and touched his nose and said, "She should be a countess somewhere." ”

"Huh!"

As Zhou Yan expected, Yoyo was shocked by the news.

"Could it be that Mr. Yan attacked the nobles of this country?" Although it is not the same world, even in the world where Yoyo lived before, the aristocracy is a privileged class that it is best not to provoke.

"No, no, no, no matter how crazy I am, I won't get to that point." Zhou Yan hurriedly waved his hand and explained.

He then explained how he had met Akali yesterday, how he had started the pursuit, and how he had finally taken him to the village where he had met today, after finally killing the Assassins.

"What about Sister Akali? If we leave like this, won't she be able to find Mr. Yan? And in case ......" Yoyo remembers the big sister who saved her life in the forest and protected her on the way to the demons when the demons attacked.

"Don't worry, she's strong. Nothing will happen. Zhou Yan has inexplicable confidence in Akali.

"But......" Youyou didn't know where Zhou Yan's confidence came from, and seemed a little anxious to argue something, but her words were interrupted by the sound of a branch being trampled on.

It can't really be so unlucky, right? Zhou Yan remembered what he had said when he persuaded Youyou to live.

However, when he saw the figure clearly, his originally tense feelings suddenly relaxed.

I saw Akali holding the carcasses of two hares in her hands, and looked at him with a smile: "Thank you so much for having so much confidence in me." ”

After saying a thank-you without thanks, the female ninja continued, "However, I think you're in trouble. ”
