Vanessa tore off the shredded strips of cloth from her shirt and wiped her face, and she took off her water-soaked cotton shoes and hung them on the branches of a dead tree beside him, which had been struck by lightning and had burn marks on its trunk. Not far away, on the banks of the river, Katrina was washing the blood from her face and arms.

The two young men were exhausted by this lifeless escape, and it was only by the Langton River that the Kama mercenaries who pursued them did not dare to cross the other side of the river, and the two had a chance to breathe, and they waded across the river, whizzing feathered arrows in their ears, but fortunately Vanessa and Katrina were both thin and thin, and there was little damage except for their clothes scratched by the arrows.

"Where are we?" Vanessa wrung out the water from her cuffs as she asked, "What's the name of this creek?" ”

Katrina was obviously unprepared for Vanessa's approach, and hurriedly covered her chest, "This is not a small river, it is called the Langdon River, a tributary that flows from the burning spring, and it feeds several cities along the river. The girl wore her long chestnut hair tied back her head, and her smooth forehead was stained with a little drop of crystal water, and she looked very beautiful, "We must get off the shore quickly, this river is very precious, and anyone who swims in the river without permission will be punished with burning." ”

"Oh, let's go, I think my most precious thing is this face." Vanessa gentlemanly reached out to Katrina and pulled her up the embankment.

Katrina was amused: "You played well. ”

"Thanks for the compliment." The princess nodded, led the maiden to the dead tree, and said as she put on her shoes, "But I know a man who doesn't think so. ”

"Then he must be a narrow-minded man." The girl looked up at Vanessa.

"Oh? Why? "It seems unfair to say that, but it's good.

"Because his eyes are deceived by jealousy, and he does not see thy strengths."

"This is the first time I've heard of this theory." Vanessa fastened her sword belt and straightened her clothes, and from Katrina's obsessive eyes, he could see that she had completely regained her beautiful youthful appearance. "We need to find your mother quickly, she and Brandt will be in danger."

"What?" Katrina was startled.

"The bald man you shot to death," Vanessa patiently explained, "is obviously not an important player behind the scenes, and there was no decent person to take his place and continue to hunt us down, otherwise we would have been dead." What does this mean? ”

"What?" The girl looked at the princess with watery black eyes, stupid.

"Explain that the real usurper is tracking down your mother!" Vanessa sighed, the girl was completely blank, "Let's go ahead now, go around the back of those bad guys and sneak attack, we can save your mother." ”

"But we've strayed from the road!" Katrina understood what the princess meant, and suddenly came to her senses and went crazy. "I'm not familiar with the terrain on this side of the river!"

"Don't worry," Vanessa pressed her hands down, soothing the girl's feelings, "You just need to remember the place where you must go to Sleeping Dragon City, and we'll find it there before we make plans." ”

Katrina calmed down for a moment, and suddenly thought of a place name: "Burning Spring!" Her eyes widened, "This river and the King's Road will eventually pass through the Burning Springs!" ”

"That's right." Vanessa nodded in satisfaction, picked up a branch and drew on the ground, "This is where we are, this is Sunset Canyon, and the Fountain is due north, which means that as long as we go up the river, we will definitely be able to reach the Fountain." ”

"Yes, next up is Gauwen Fort, where I can find the main road."

"No, we're not going to take the big road." Vanessa smiled and looked at Katrina, "There are too many spies on King's Road, and I don't want my beautiful traveling companion to be snatched back as a lady by any duke." ”

Katrina's face flushed, "If anyone dares to rob me, I'll summon a bow and arrow to shoot him." ”

"Anyway, what about your bow?" Vanessa looked curiously at Katrina's empty back, "Thrown into the water?" ”

"No," Katrina replied shyly, tucking her sideburns through her hair, which had been blown off by the river breeze, "that's my magic." ”

"Summoning magic?" The princess suddenly became interested, and he asked as he walked, "It's wonderful, what can you summon?" Monster or Wyvern? ”

The girl's head hung down, "I'm so sorry, I don't have that much magic, I can only summon weapons." ”

"That's pretty good, too!" Vanessa praised.

"Really?" Katrina looked up to make sure Vanessa wasn't joking with herself. "And what is your magic?"

What a little girl, thought the princess, and when she learned that she was not being ridiculed, she immediately asked happily about her magic, "Do I still need magic?" The princess smiled and pointed to her face, "I am magic!" Katrina's face turned even redder as she spoke, and Vanessa couldn't help but laugh
