The evening breeze was gentle, the candlesticks on the table were blown out by the night breeze outside the window, the small room was crowded with four adults, making it feel a little cramped, and the whole space was glowing with a warm and soft light, illuminating everyone's expressions flickering and dimming.

The handsome young man on the bed had a pale face and a slight tiredness, but he was very conscious. He sat at the head of the bed, not caring about the eyes of the strangers, and took the medicine bowl handed by Kevin and sipped it slowly. And the others were silent, just quietly watching the other party drink the bowl of bitter medicine to the bottom.

Seeing that the other party drank the bowl of black bitter medicine without wrinkling, Heywood, who had personally experienced the bitter taste, twitched the corners of his mouth.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Kevin and the man staring at each other, and the two did not speak. And the man was silent after briefly introducing his name and experience, and the atmosphere at the moment was slightly awkward.

So what's the situation now?

"So, Mr. Rafie—"

"Raphael."

"Uh, I'm sorry......" It is very rude to call someone else's name by mistake, and Du Yuhan, who is not very good at remembering people's names, touched his nose in confusion, "Mr. Raphael, so when you came out to travel, you were brought here because you accidentally got lost?" ”

"Hmm." With a slight bow, the man who called himself Raphael did not lift his head.

"What about your companions?" In Du Yuhan's view, it is rare to travel alone, and you should travel with relatives and friends, if you have not been missing for a long time, then they can go to find the nearest missing person notice or something.

"I don't know, I was arrested back in the last town." He placed the empty bowl at the head of the bed, drank a little more water, and continued, "I was walking down the street when suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder from behind, and I turned around and fainted. ”

Raphael looked at the scars on his body, his half-drooping eyelids hid the anger in the depths of his eyes, he had never been insulted like this, and when he opened his eyes and saw that disgusting image, he longed to break those men to pieces.

Du Yuhan thought about it for a while, at that time, the other party was penniless, although he was dressed very plainly, but looking at his demeanor, there was a kind of aristocratic elegance. It is estimated that the young master who traveled together met human traffickers on the road, so he was drugged and trafficked here.

But none of this has anything to do with him, the most important thing now is how to let him join his companions. "And do you remember where you were drugged?"

Raphael thought for a moment, "It seems to be called Tyretown." ”

"Tyre?"

The town of Tyre is outside the jurisdiction of Franco, and it is so far away that even the fastest flight attendants can fly in for nearly a month. Originally, I wanted to say that I would give the other party some travel expenses and let him find a companion by himself, but now it is estimated that it will not work.

Do you want to post a missing person notice here in Fran City?

The town of Kotil is so far from here, it is also a question whether it can be seen.

It's just that he is puzzled by one thing, if it is just a simple abduction, why don't the traffickers just get rid of him in a nearby town, but take him to travel such a long distance to come here?

"Where are you from?" Heywood, who had been sitting next door and not saying anything, couldn't help but ask.

Du Yuhan's eyes lit up. That's right, wouldn't it be okay to send the other person straight home? Then there is no need to worry about whether the missing person notice can be seen.

Turning his head sideways and glancing deeply at Heywood, Raphael's expression moved, and his originally indifferent eyes softened, "I'm from the Luan Federation, and I originally came out this time to see the customs and culture here, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen." ”

Kevin, who had been watching Raphael, saw the change in the other party's expression, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained a faint expression and was silent quietly.

Hearing this, Du Yuhan wilted.

Luan Federation, this is already abroad, and it is far away, how can this send him back? He didn't think about directly giving the other party a hundred gold coins to send him away, but this person looks so good-looking, he doesn't look like a traveler with life experience, in case he encounters some traffickers on the way back, then isn't they saved in vain?

Besides, if he does, I don't know what will happen to Heywood.

"It's so far from here, how are you going to go back?" Heywood's brows furrowed slightly, and he felt that the question was very tricky.

Raphael shook his head slightly, sighing and silent.

The fragile look of a beauty can always arouse the desire of others to protect, especially for patients in the late middle and second stages.

Sure enough, Heywood immediately patted the other party's shoulder and boasted arrogantly, "It's okay, you can stay with peace of mind!" Although our place is not big, it is no problem to live with one more person. Aren't you out on a tour? We can take you to see and see. ”

Look, he knows!

They were still struggling on the poverty line before, and they had just stepped into the food and clothing line. This bear kid didn't say anything about eating, but also said that he would take others to see, and he didn't know who had been beaten before and his nose was swollen, and he forgot the pain after the scar!

"It's not good for you to trouble you like this." Raphael's eyes were half-drooping, and his fair cheeks were duly smeared with two patches of crimson.

"It's okay, it's okay, we're all right! Usually I just have an extra pair of chopsticks for dinner, which is not a big deal. You're right? After that, he also cast a threatening look at Du Yuhan.

You've said that, can I still say no?! Du Yuhan glanced at Heywood angrily, "As long as you don't dislike our coarse tea and light rice, it's just one more person anyway." ”

"Really?" Raphael asked with a slightly timid expression, but his eyes looked straight at Kevin, who was standing behind.

Kevin, who has never expressed his opinion, casually stared at the other party's face with his hands on his chest, and did not see his feelings on the surface, nor did he answer the other party's questions.

"Kevin?" Du Yuhan was a little puzzled about Kevin's abnormality today, how could he say that this was also the injured person he had saved, why did the other party's expression look so ...... Indifferent?

After a long time, Kevin retracted his scrutinizing gaze and smiled softly at Du Yuhan, "Since he can't go back for the time being, it's okay to let him stay." But ......"

"But what?"

"But we don't have waste people here, if you want to stay, then we have to see what you can do." With that, he looked at Raphael lightly, revealing an intriguing expression.

"What do you mean?" Heywood was not happy to hear this. It's the person he saved, and this obviously doesn't give him face!

"Literally." Kevin was unmoved, "We can't just eat our old books all the time, if we want to go out on a mission one day and bring someone who is completely ineffective, it's just child's play." ”

"What's so hard about that? He's protected by me! ”

"Can you guarantee that you can protect him every time? What if something goes wrong? ”

Heywood choked.

That's right, sooner or later they have to take the commission, and if they bring someone who doesn't have any ability, it's a burden. Their own level is not high, and they can barely protect themselves, and if they bring another person, they really don't know what the outcome will become.

Du Yuhan was very curious, usually Kevin would not make any requests, but he didn't expect that today he would be a little aggressive. However, he was very smart and did not express his opinion, after all, in his opinion, the other party was an outsider who didn't even know the details, and Kevin was his insider, and it didn't hurt to have multiple hearts.

Raphael didn't show any displeasure at the conversation between the two, just glanced at each other lightly, and nodded understandingly, "Well, you make a lot of sense." He tapped his index finger on his chin and thought for a moment, "Do you have a magic quill here?" Or a regular pen will do. ”

Hearing this, Kevin handed over a tool pen for inscriptions, and Raphael asked for a few low-level water-attribute magic cores, he glanced around the room, and his gaze finally fell on Heywood's bandaged right hand. He curled the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, "Can I borrow your hand?" ”

"Huh? Oh, yes, yes. Heywood was slightly surprised by the smile, scratching her cheeks a little shyly.

Seeing the other party's reaction silently, Raphael gently pulled his right hand, restrained all his feelings, and tapped the smooth surface of those demon cores with the tip of his pen for a long time. Suddenly, his pen hand lifted it vigorously, and he pulled out a light blue silk thread from the demon core.

Then he quickly wrote a spell on the bandage with his right hand, and the silk thread followed the handwriting and left a faint mark on it. When he put away his pen, the watermark burst into a dazzling light, and when the light gradually dimmed, the white bandage was wrapped around several circles of blue-blue magic marks, as if a small stream of water was wrapping around it and flowing slowly.

Somewhat surprised by this strange effect, Du Yuhan reached out and rubbed the mark on the bandage, feeling cold and very comfortable, "What is this?" ”

"This is a water-based enchantment rune, if it is a magician, all water-based attack magic will have a damage bonus effect." Raphael handed the quill back to Kevin, along with a few low-level cores that had completely lost their magical energy, "At the same time, its damage from water attacks will also be reduced." ”

"That's amazing!" Heywood only felt that his right arm was cold, as if it was wrapped in an ice pack, and the hot wound felt very comfortable.

"Frost Resistance? Are you an enchanter? ”

Du Yuhan remembered the magical knowledge that Kevin had popularized to him. Unlike other professions, enchanters do not make any items themselves, but instead use a variety of magical materials to temporarily or permanently enhance equipment or weapons. A good enchantment is often more effective than a good weapon.

Raphael nodded, then turned his head to look directly at Kevin, "Can I stay?" ”

Kevin raised half of his eyebrows, glanced thoughtfully at Heywood, and smiled gently, "Welcome." Then he turned his head to Du Yuhan and said, "I'll check on him again, you guys go back first." ”

"Haha, I knew you must be fine!" Heywood stood up excitedly, raised his chin and looked at Kevin defiantly, with an indescribable pride on his face.

What do you have to be proud of?

Looking at the other party's arrogant face speechlessly, Du Yuhan rolled his eyes and pulled Heywood's arm, "Okay, okay, don't disturb others to rest, they are still injured, you hurry up and let me go back to the room and lie down!" ”

"Lie down again! I'm about to lie out of the mushrooms! ”

"Self-inflicted, who told you to be a hero?"

"Grass! Lao Tzu, that's called eliminating harm for the people, right? ”

"Yes, yes—"

……

Seeing that the two had gone away, Kevin withdrew his gaze and looked at Raphael's expressionless face lightly, and the other party also looked back with feeling.

Suddenly, the air in the room seemed to condense, and it was eerily quiet. Neither of them spoke, just looked at each other silently, their eyes as if they were examining each other's strength, and as if they were exchanging some information.

After a long time, Kevin took the lead in breaking the strange atmosphere, and he chuckled, "It's not early, you are still injured, rest well." With that, he reached out and patted the other party's shoulder gently, "Good night." ”

The moment Kevin touched him, Raphael's body stiffened, and his muscles tightened, and then he nodded without missing a word, "Good night." ”

Seeing this, Kevin smiled even more charmingly, and Shi Shiran left the room.

Listening to the footsteps of the other party gradually moving away, Raphael's tense muscles slowly relaxed. He took off half of his clothes, naked, revealing his white shoulders, where Kevin had just been slapped, a layer of black mist lingering on it, and it didn't take long for it to dissipate, but the surface was still corroded with a palm-sized piece of skin.

His eyes darkened, he shrugged his shoulders in pain, and put his clothes on with a cold snort.
