The right hand was raised, and he rubbed his drowsy head, it seemed that he was saved, alas, it felt good not to die.

Randall sat up, his head a little dizzy, apparently the after-effects of excessive blood loss.

Looking at the surroundings, a magic lamp at his feet was emitting a faint yellow light, illuminating the tent he was in at the moment, opening the tent door curtain, poking his head out, the sky outside was already dark, and the stars in the sky could be seen through the gaps in the leaves, and by the way, there was a strong fragrance coming to his nose.

"Well, it smells so good."

"You're awake." A slightly cool voice came, with a faint hint of concern in the voice.

Randall turned his head to see that it was Nina, and there were Ellie and the others sitting around him.

"yes, it feels good to get a good night's sleep."

Stepping out of the tent, waving his arms and moving his muscles, Randall saw the source of the scent.

"Oh, you're barbecuing." Go over and sit with the people.

"If there is any extra share, give me a string too."

This guy is very familiar.

"Yes." Ellie took out another string and handed it to Randall, smiling and saying, "Hello, my name is Ellie, and I haven't thanked you for the last time." ”

The girl was talking about the last time Catherine duel with Wright.

Taking the meat skewer handed by the girl, Randall remembered the incident of a few months ago with Ellie's words, "Just call me Randall, you remember that incident, you saved my life this time, I should thank you." ”

"Help each other with a little effort." Ellie smiled and said that she didn't care about Randall's thanks, that it was a pastor who should do to treat the sick.

Looking at the girl's unconcerned expression, Randall thought in his heart, this time the favor was too great, but the already hungry stomach was protesting, and the retribution would be better later.

Randall looked at the crowd seated, Ellie and Nina he knew, but there were two others he didn't know.

"Who are these two?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce it." After Ellie finished speaking, she pointed to the young man on the side and said, "This is Jack, and the other one over there is Uncle Vic, they are father and son." ”

"Hello, my name is Randall, and besides, thank you for the tent."

Vic and Jack shake hands with Randall one by one.

"Just call me Uncle Vic, I heard you've encountered a lot of saber-toothed beasts?" Vic asked, not that he didn't want to ask Nina, but that he felt that Miss Nina felt too cold, as if her hair color was cold, untouchable, but Ellie seemed to have a good relationship with her, maybe a classmate.

"Well, what a scary memory." Randall's face was a little ugly, "They appeared suddenly, and the instantaneous sneak attack caught me and Nina off guard, the saber-toothed beast is not a social animal, but this time there are five at a time, and it can be regarded as the favor of Lady Luck that I can pick up a life." ”

"They showed up together?" Jack asked.

"No, they rushed from several directions, instantly surrounded us, my wound here was made by a saber-toothed beast from behind, if it weren't for Nina's ice crystal shield being unusually strong enough to protect itself, maybe we wouldn't be able to see you." Randall pointed to the torn armor at his waist and said with some trepidation.

Randall's words made Vic fall into thought, if they were besieged from all directions, it should not be a sagging-toothed beast, this kind of fierce monster that lives in the middle of the forest after it is impossible to live in groups except to find a mate, in that case, there should be only one purpose for gathering together, they are too hungry, and there is not enough prey to hunt to satisfy hunger.

It's a bit of a problem now, I knew I should have brought more raw meat into the forest, why didn't I think of this, Victor thought with his chin on his head.

"Ellie, how much cured meat did you bring?" Vic turns to Ellie.

"There are many more, and if you eat according to the amount of food for three people, you can eat for about ten days." The girl came out this time with enough things, anyway, the space ring that her sister gave her was very large, there were 400 cubic meters, enough to put a lot of things, food, clothing, housing, everything.

The girl also brought a tent herself, which Catherine bought for her when she went shopping with Catherine last time, but compared to the three simple tents that Vic had already set up, her own tent with some complicated blue patterns made the girl a little embarrassed to take it out.

Vic, who listened to the girl's words, muttered in his heart, ten days, it should be almost enough, I hope those saber-toothed beasts will not be picky eaters by then.

"By the way, Ellie, how did you end up here? Shouldn't it be the time of the school day? Randall asked the same question as Nina.

"I'm here to help Uncle Vic, they lack a priest, don't worry, I've already taken a leave of absence." The girl replied.

"Yes, then if you want to continue to go deeper, you have to be cautious, I don't know why a large number of demonic beasts in the forest are running to the periphery recently, what abnormal situations may happen, you have to be careful."

The girl already knew, because Vic had already said it beforehand, but she couldn't tell Randall what was going on, so she could only smile and say to Randall, "Thank you for your concern." ”

"Do you need my help with Nina?" Randall included Nina when he said it, he knew that Nina was just cold-faced, but she was still very gentle in her heart, and she would be willing to help Ellie in the future.

Looking at Randall's still somewhat pale lips, which were a symptom of anemia, the girl shook her head, "No need, your wound is just right, you need a good rest, you can go back to the academy tomorrow." ”

"Really, you don't need to?" Randall asked again.

"Hmm." The girl nodded.

"Well, since you're insisting." After saying that, Randall took a bite of the meat that was finally cooked.

"Woo! It's delicious! ”

The girl smiled, "Thanks for the compliment." ”

Night......

The surroundings were quiet, the breeze was blowing, the leaves rustled, and the dark night was accompanied by the constant chirping of insects, giving a sense of quiet and peace, the bonfire was not extinguished, and the enchanting flame burned the wood crackling.

The group had slept in tents, with Girl and Nina sleeping in one, Randall and Jack in one tent, and the rest of Vic living on his own.

"Ellie." Nina squealed softly.

The magic lamp at her feet was still burning with magical flames, illuminating the girl's ice-blue eyes.

Ellie, who was not asleep yet, opened her eyes: "Well, what's the matter?" Sister Nina. ”

"Right now, the forest is dangerous."

The girl blinked, "I know, I can protect myself, don't worry." ”

Nina sighed, the girl's appearance reminded her of her sister, and from her communication with the girl, she could be sure that Ellie didn't know how dangerous it was outside, just like a child who had just left home, ignorant of the world, and didn't know that the outside world was not a paradise, but a raging dragon and tiger beast.

Take a scroll from the ring and hand it to Ellie.

Taking the scroll, Ellie was a little confused, "What is this?" ”

"Magic Scroll."

"Is this a magic scroll?" Ellie looked at the scroll in her hand that looked like some kind of animal skin, she had only heard of it but had never seen it, and the books in the library said that this kind of magic scroll could allow the user to enter a little magic power to instantly perform large magic, or even magic forbidden spells.

"It's precious." The girl wanted to give it back to Nina, but was pushed back by Nina.

"Take it, save your life." Nina touched the girl's supple blonde hair, "Do you know how to use it?" ”

"Hmm."

"Remember, when you're in danger, use it." Nina told Ellie that she didn't want Ellie to be in danger, but since Ellie had decided to enter the forest, it would be best to give her a life-saving scroll, this magic is the magic scroll of the eighth-level magic "Blizzard" of the ice system, although the name is very ordinary, but the power is extremely powerful, she brought three when she entered the forest, and used two when she was besieged by the saber-toothed beasts, and now there is this left, just for the girl.

She couldn't save her sister, and this time she didn't want to lose her sister-like Ellie again, and maybe she really thought of Ellie as her long-dead sister.

"Okay." The girl looked at Nina's way of refusing, so she obediently agreed to her words and put the scroll into the violet-shaped spatial ring.

Nina kissed the girl on the forehead and turned off the magic lamp at her feet.

"Good night." In this dark night, a slightly cool sound sounded.

"Good night, senior sister."

Ellie's face was a little hot, but luckily the magic lamp had been turned off and the person in front of her couldn't see it.

But if the magic lamp is on, the girl will definitely be able to see the smile on Nina's lips, and it seems that even if the light is off, she knows Ellie's expression.
