5. Princess hug
"I'm sorry." Eve carefully watched Alan's expression and bent down to apologize.
Ever since Fern was ripped away by the vines, Eren has been like a black cloud on the eve of a storm.
He walked so fast that Eve had to trot all the way to keep up with him, and it was even more dangerous than the Dragon's Cave if she were left alone in the depths of the Curaro Black Forest.
A vampire haunted by the night, Eve remembered the old legends, as if she could feel the stinging pain of two sharp teeth poking into her skin, and the horror of the blood flowing away and turning into a rotten corpse.
Just as Eve was trying to calm herself, there was a commotion among the leaves, and groups of black things rushed out at once, flapping their wings and making strange calls.
"Ai ...... Allan. Eve stuttered and called, and before she could run a step, Alan, who was a few steps away from her, suddenly appeared in front of her, and a wall of skull heads rose from the ground, and a raging fire erupted from her mouth, leaving only black ash in a moment.
"Vampire bats." Alan glanced at Eve and continued walking, blaming himself for being nosy as he went. It was just right to save him from worrying that Fern and her would have children like a Domulida rat, and that he would not be at peace.
But thinking of the apprentice who followed him for ten years, Alan rarely relented, after all, ...... Evolutionary imperfection was a congenital defect in him, and he worked diligently in the castle for ten years, and did not ask him for wages. It's not too much to ask for a partner.
As Eren pondered, a wolf howl rang out in the distant sky, and Eve almost fell to her knees, her feet limp.
"Yes, a werewolf?" Alan paused, and after hearing Eve's question, he stared into the distance, "It's a branch of the Kurola Timberwerewolf tribe, and they meet on a moonlit night, probably to discuss spring hunting. ”
"Oh." Seeing that Eren was willing to deal with herself, Eve stood up and tried to ease the discord between them, "Are we going to find Ferne?" ”
"Or else?" Alan looked at her inexplicably and felt that she had asked an extremely stupid question. But Alan quickly turned his mind around and thought of a possibility, "Do you want to wait for Fern to inherit his fortune when he dies?" ”
"......No," Eve coughed more awkwardly, trying to change the subject again, "but the Curaro Forest is so big...... Where do we go to find him? "You can't always carpet search and find them one by one, and that won't work for a month.
"Shandelburg." The wind blew, the shadows of the trees were full, and Alan looked at the peaks of the mountains in the dark sky, and there was a small castle faintly located, "She is the only one who can snatch people from me." But ......"
Eve was glared at by Allen, remembering her previous delay, and lowered her head almost reflexively, "I'm sorry." ”
Alan reluctantly turned around, and the two headed for Shandelburg. Allen's body is good, even if he stands until dawn when he is really excited, it is not a problem, Eve, who has a regular schedule and rest, can't stop it early, the upper and lower skins are tightly adhered to, and when he falls asleep on the road, Alan reluctantly said that he can rest for a while and wait for dawn before leaving.
"Thank you." Eve knew that she had delayed the other party's trip, but she could only bow her head and say sorry.
They found the hole in a thousand-year-old tree, and Alan leaned against the side of the cave and instinctively stuck out his foot, not wanting Eve to enter.
But the next second he retracted his foot, and Alan turned his head, thinking, it should be to supplement Fern's salary for ten years of cleaning the castle. Although he threw himself an unknown number of ceramic funnels, mortars, test tubes, and beakers.
Seeing Eren let her go, Eve happily burrowed into the deepest part of the tree hole, where there was a thick layer of dead leaves, and Eve sat on it soft and comfortable.
"Take it." Alan took out a spherical, red-glowing thing from the storage ring and gave it to her, full of bitterness and hatred, "Fern fell. ”
"Thank you...... Thank you. Eve took the orb from his hand, and a faint warmth spread outward from the center of the orb, like a miniature version of the sun.
Alan snorted and knew it, he released the little bone dragon from the storage ring, the "little guy" and the owner have been separated for a long time, and as soon as he came out, he rubbed Allen's chest and coquettishly screamed, just like the teacup dog raised by Xia Li when he was coquettish.
"Caleb, I'm suffocating you." Alan stroked Caleb's head with pity, and Caleb immediately looked at Alan with a miserable face, and stretched out a short tongue bone to lick Ellen's fingers.
"When I get back, I'll help you connect your broken wings." Alan's voice was as soft as a feather.
The ball in his hand spontaneously jumped into the air, drawing red circles on the spot, roasting the hollow of the tree warmly. Eve propped her head and looked at Alan, who was already handsome, and at this time, his eyes were full of love.
In the past, Xia Li said that men who have a love for small animals are the most attractive to girls, and Eve is so hot that her cheeks are hot from the melting air.
After being alone for this day, she found that although Alan was mean and liked to give people a hard look, he was the same as Fern said, and it was not very bad. Especially before, the way he stood in front of the bats was like a knight with a sword drawn. Eve remembered the old legend of the knight and the princess, covered her hot face, and tilted her head forward, for fear of being seen in the girl's mind.
Caleb rubbed Alan, screaming more and more merrily, and as soon as he had fun, his white paws were annoyed by three strips of blood under his cheeks.
Eve couldn't help but worry when she looked at it, "Are you okay?" So saying, he handed him his handkerchief.
"It's fine." Alan didn't care about the three blood marks at first, he lowered his head and touched the head of Caleb, who knew that he was in trouble and shrunk into a ball of "woo" and admitted his mistake, "Caleb, cutie, don't be afraid, it's not your fault." ”
"......" Eve, who was petrified all over, looked at Allen, his affectionate eyes were staring at a bone dragon with a hideous "smile".
Or Xia Li's teacup dog is cute, Eve sat back silently and silently began to think, is this also a small animal?
The hollow was too warm, and Eve leaned against the trunk of the tree, thinking about it, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, she was awakened by a tingling pain in her shoulder, "What...... What's wrong? ”
Alan did not like to have too much physical contact with the opposite sex, and he was poking her arm with a twig he had picked up from the ground, and when Eve opened her eyes, he said, "It's morning, and I'm going to Shandelburg." "It's a protest against her late wake-up.
"Right...... I'm sorry. I'm late. ”
Alan threw her a few fruits and didn't say anything more.
Eve silently held the purple-black fruit in her hands, and since she had been with Alan, she had often felt a deep sense of frustration.
In the past, when she was in the palace, she was taken care of by someone to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, she only needed to sit there beautifully, and when Princess Eve, who was doted on by her parents and cared for by her brother, she had never done any rough work.
Even with a cup of tea, the queen mother was afraid that she would be tired. Eve didn't know at the moment that these were just the guilt of the king and queen.
Eve followed Eren into an area ruled by goblins, and Eren said a long name that Eve didn't remember. It seems to be the Van der Manlas goblin endemic to the Kurola Black Forest, and told her to be careful.
Eve nodded in confusion and walked along the road with Alan, only calming down for a while, when something suddenly grabbed her and pulled her into the dirt. Before Eve could grab Alan, a skeleton half a head taller than herself appeared, and one of Mori Bai's hands supported Eve's slender waist, dragging her out of the ground, and the other stabbed her into the earth.
Eve heard a muffled scream from the earth, and the strength that bound her ankles was gone.
"I forgot what I said, the Vandermanlas goblins like to pull the living into the earth, suffocate them first, and then slowly divide them." And there are very few living people in the Kurola Black Forest. Alan kicked away a goblin at his feet and asked casually, "Although I don't want to, it's better to have someone carry you away." ”
Eve's face turned red instantly, and her heart was full of small throbbing, ordinary men and women can't have such intimate physical contact, he ...... Was he hinting at her?
Eve's skirt tugged at Alan shyly, although it was difficult to get along with him, if he really took himself out, his father and mother would love her so much, and give him a knighthood, and it would be okay to be his husband.
Thinking about it, Eve nodded shyly and shyly.
Seeing her so cooperative, Alan walked up to her with great satisfaction, Eve's breathing became more and more rapid, this was the first time she was so close to an adult man, and she made such intimate movements.
"Desi, thank you for your hard work." Eve's shy face turned pale for a moment, as if she realized something and wanted to say no. And the next time, she was picked up by the skeleton called "Desi" behind her, and her hands just reflexively hugged its neck, but she was embarrassed to retract it in the next second, not knowing where to put it. Desi met her gaze and smiled politely and kindly, so laughing that Eve stopped breathing.
"Desi is my favorite partner, and I'll deduct that part of the loss from Ferne's salary." Although he only recently found out, he hadn't paid Fern for ten years.
But when Alan was thinking about the relationship between Fern and Eve last night, he also thought about his and Ferne's status as "teacher and apprentice", as well as the salary problem that he hadn't dealt with for ten years, and Allen felt that Fern still had a position in the court, and he had a certain salary every month, and those salaries were given by his father and mother, which was considered wages.
What's more, as an apprentice, he has the obligation to give the teacher a hand, and as a rare legend, it is reasonable for him not to pay him. Allen, the capitalist who picks the door with all evil, thinks so.
"Wow......" Alan's thoughts were interrupted by a scream from Eve.
"What's wrong?" He frowned, he had already let Desi carry her away, what else was the problem?
In fact, the matter is very simple, when Desi was walking away with Eve, who was covered in cold sweat, there were two Vandermanlas goblins who did not know whether to live or die smelled the fragrance of female flesh and blood, so they picked up Desi's tibia and fibula and wanted to pull it off the ground.
However, Desi was built by Allen himself, and his power ranking in the continental skeleton world is almost second to none. It lifted its feet, and with a slight shock, the Vandermanlath goblins shattered into pieces and fell to the ground slowly seeping into the dirt.
However, this shock, Eve was a little panicked and hugged Desi's neck, which was only left with a cervical vertebrae, and also felt its occipital foramen upward. I couldn't help but freeze again, trembling down the shoulder blades and collarbone and landing on the real ribs.
"Miss Eve." Eve's panic is not over yet, Desi actually speaks! It was as if there were a thousand enlarged versions of Caleb galloping through Eve's heart.
The blue eyes widened in a hurry, and I saw Desi stretch out a hand, touch his head, and say as if he was a little shy, "Master asked me to carry you out of here...... But if you touch me like this, it will really bother me...... Well, I'm going to be embarrassed. Do you understand? Excuse me......" Eve removed her hand from its prosthetic ribs, and Desi relaxed for a moment, "Thank you, Miss Eve." Otherwise, I'm really worried that I'll be out of shape and dragged down by the Vandermanlas goblins. ”
A talking skeleton.
A skeleton that speaks all the time and is shy.
Eve's three views were refreshed again.
