3. Falling into the Black Forest

"It's high in the air, she can't do magic, and she'll die if she throws it down." The magic on Fern's lips had failed, and he reached out to hold Eve. She was visibly frightened by the phrase "throw it down", and her face was full of horror, and she looked at Fern cautiously.

His master was still disgusted, "Throw it down." ”

"You'll find a town and put Eve down." Fern's sense of justice had never been so inflated.

The "master" commanded the bone dragon forward, and impatiently ordered Fern, "Throw it down, or else, I will throw you down with me." ”

With years of experience together, Fern pursed his lips noncommittally, knowing that he was just unforgiving, so he simply ignored him, patted Eve and comforted, "It's okay, when you get to the town in front, the master will put you down." ”

As if to disagree, the bone dragon slammed into one side of the lunge, causing Eve to stagger and hold on to a thick bone spur to avoid being thrown off.

"Fern, what are you talking about?" As if feeling the wrath of its master, the bone dragon raised its head and let out a roar, and the entire dragon body began to shake violently and sway.

"Don't be afraid, he's not as bad as you look." Fern didn't take Caleb's roar to heart and continued to comfort Eve. The character of the demon pet is the same as that of the owner, and he loves to lose his temper and is unreasonable.

The green light that could fly from the side of the bone wing sucked his gaze away, and the bone dragon sprinted diagonally again, trembling extremely violently. Eve screamed and grabbed Ferne, who was also a little surprised, this was not a normal situation.

He silently uttered a spell and enclosed Eve and himself in a pale blue magic cover.

"Master, it's a bo...... Is he coming? Fern steadied himself and slowly walked forward with Eve in his arms.

The man commanding the bone dragon did not speak, and his face was solemn, as cold as frost.

Eve faintly noticed that the speed of the bone dragon's flight had accelerated, and the wind in her ears was whisking, stinging and cold, blowing so that she couldn't open her eyes.

A flash of green light flashed behind him, striking hard at half of Caleb's bone wings. Caleb roared in a hoarse voice, and his body instantly lost its balance and rushed down, falling straight down from the sky.

Eve fell forward in horror and collided directly with the person in command, plus Fern behind her, like a sandwich sandwiched in the middle, and couldn't even breathe smoothly.

In front of him was a large black forest, the speed of the bone dragon was getting faster and faster, and finally hit the ground hard, Eve closed her eyes, subconsciously grabbed the other party, and screamed in fear.

"Shut up." He gritted his teeth and waved his hand, and Eve's hand grabbing the corner of his coat was immediately ripped away.

"This ...... Where is this? Eve stroked her chest for the rest of her life, and looked around her, and was shocked by a dark forest, with strange vines climbing over every towering tree, exuding the eerie atmosphere of a cemetery.

"It should be...... It is the Curaro Black Forest on the border of Gari and Otto. Fern felt his bone, still dizzy head, and came to this conclusion after some scrutiny.

Curaro Black Forest ...... That is, it is the place where the queen mother has used to scare her since she was a child. There were revenant zombies, vampire werewolves, and all kinds of dark beasts inside, and Eve couldn't help but gasp, "You guys...... Do you live here? ”

"It's not." Fern whispered to her, "The master has been injured, and he has just met the enemy, so he has to find a hidden place to take refuge for the time being, and then go back to heal." However, there is no way to take you to a nearby town right away. ”

"Fern." His master turned his head dissatisfied, and was very dissatisfied with him and an outsider talking about these secret private matters, not to mention that in this story, he was still a passive beater and fled.

"Master, are we staying in the Magic Tower?" Fern asked.

"No, that skeleton is familiar with my magic tower, so let's find a cave for the night." He released a glowing ghost from the storage ring, which became more terrifying in response to the dark environment.

"Hurry up, keep up with the master." Fern nudged the startled Eve and motioned for her to step up. Eve bit her lip, although she left Lauren's lair, she wanted to go directly to the Gari's palace, but now that she was in the Black Forest of Curaro, there was no other way but to follow them.

All the way, Alan, that is, the name of Fern's master, he walked ahead. Fern followed her and whispered something to her about Alan. It turned out that he was a necromancer, and although Eve had already guessed it, she still looked at Eren with some fear.

Although the Luoan Continent mainly believes in the God of Light, after the Battle of Nadis, it is no longer the same as in the past, and the black mages are wiped out one by one. Like the Duchy of Otto, almost every aristocratic family hired necromancers, who were excellent surgeons, and sometimes black magic was more effective in healing. Even one of their royal dukes was a public lover of dark arts. It's one thing for Otto to be open, but in the extremely conservative country of Gari, necromancers are also used by mothers to intimidate disobedient children, and in some remote places from the Imperial City, every year the Church burns the dark mages in the square.

"We're staying in Otto, and when tonight is over, we should be on our way back." Fern handed her the roasted hare, "You're from Gary?" ”

"Yes." Eve tore a piece from the roast rabbit and took a small bite.

"When your master's wounds are healed, let him take you to the border town of Gari." As soon as Fern's words fell, Alan looked at him with a dissatisfied expression, "I won't send it." He was extremely reluctant to take a burden on the road and send her home.

Eve lowered her head and silently nibbled on the rabbit meat, but Fern ignored Alan and continued to ask her, "Where is your home?" It can be dangerous to go back from the border alone. ”

"My family...... My family lives in the royal capital of Gari. Eve replied quietly.

"King Gari, that's far away." "You should follow us to Otto, and the master's castle is not far from Otto's border," said Fern. When the time comes, go to town and hire an errand boy, and go to King Gari to inform your family and have them pick you up. Fern looked at Eve, judging from her movements, mannerisms, and appearance, she did not look like an ordinary girl, but probably a young lady from a noble family, and it was too unsafe to go on the road alone.

"Really...... May I? Eve looked at Fern happily, "If I could go home, I would definitely let my father ...... Thank you, father and mother. ”

"It's okay, but the Curaro Black Forest is dangerous, no surprise, it will take us at least three or four days to get out, you have to follow us, otherwise there will be danger." Fern enjoyed Eve's somewhat adoring and grateful gaze, and told her some of Otto's customs, and Eve listened to him with wide eyes.

It wasn't until the silent Alan thought they were noisy that he calmed down and found a place to sleep. Fern said goodnight to Eve, and felt that it was a very pleasant day, and he finally didn't have to face Eren alone.

A good normal person, looking at skeleton zombies and ghost ghosts all day long, he has to be stupid if he is not crazy. He is a normal person, he will also have normal hair, heat, period, and rapid hormone secretion, of course he needs to socialize, especially with the opposite sex.

Fern's idea was soon discovered by Alan, and while eating the berries in the morning, Fern specially saved his share and quietly handed it to Eve. Later, in Eve's thanks, the young man's ears were quietly red.

"Fern." Allen's voice was cold, and he shrunk the bone dragon to the size of a pet dog and held it in his arms, how strange it looked. Alan touched the bone dragon's head and suddenly asked, "Do you want to mate with Eve?" ”

Having been raised as a lady since childhood, she could not accept such vulgar words, and Eveden blushed, choking on the berry juice in her throat and coughing incessantly, and the more excited she was, the redder her face became, almost as red as the berries in her hand.

"Most of the courtesies of males to females are for the purpose of turning them into mates, or simply mating and mating." The little bone dragon was lying in his arms, one of his wings was broken, Alan caressed the broken part in distress, and suddenly looked up at Fern, "Although you are my apprentice and butler, I have to warn you that if you multiply like rats and turn my castle into a playground for noisy children, I will be tempted to throw your whole family into the Black Forest Swamp." ”

"Master......" Fern's face was hotter than Eve's, and he explained urgently, "I just think that Eve is too dangerous to go out of the Curaro Black Forest alone, and there is no dirty idea as you say." ”

"yes, that's good." The bone dragon spat out its hyoid bone and licked Allen's clothes affectionately. Alan listened to his reply, and was a little relieved, "After all, you know that my mother insisted that I take you in out of sympathy for your incompetence, but if that happens, I will be extremely embarrassed." ”

"......" Fern glared at Allen, who was playing with the bone dragon, thinking about whether to strangle him or strangle him or strangle him.

But it will be himself who will die.

Fern bowed his head sadly, why had he been so bewitched by Madame's words that he had left the comfort of the palace and come to such a ruined place where not even a living creature could be found. Why did he abandon the life of the past, let the good people not command, come here to teach skeletons to use brooms, teach zombies to wipe tables and wash dishes, the great dark god! What sin did he commit?

His family is still waiting for him to give birth to an heir, but he accompanies the master who only loves dead corpses and can't love it...... Fern stole a glance at Eve, if he tried hard these days, he might be able to keep Eve in the castle, after all, it was the only woman he had come into contact with in ten years. The child they give birth to will definitely inherit his intelligence and ability, and Eve's good looks.

It's the best ending! With this in mind, Fern became more affectionate towards Eve.

"Eve, be careful." Fern sliced open a non-aggressive vine in front of him, trying to create a tall and leaning figure, "It's dangerous here. ”

Eve grew up in the palace, learned court etiquette, flower and tea arrangement, and didn't know much about magical creatures, just when she wanted to thank Fern, Alan said coldly, "It's just an ordinary vine, Fern." I've heard that when males are secreting dopamine-based male hormones, their brains become dumber and their movements are not sharp. Obviously, your behavior just now has forced me to rethink the matter of firing you. ”

"......" Fern felt as if there were thousands of skull dragons rushing by.

As they spoke, the vines hidden behind the trunks twisted their torsos slightly, coiling around the branches and growing and branching rapidly. Something like a head poked out of the treetops and quietly looked at the three people below.
