12. Chapter 12
Out of the pharmacy, Angelo saw the carriage that Chuck was driving. Glancing around, no one paid attention to him, and it seemed that he was overthinking this morning. "What's wrong?" There was an inquiry, but Angelo didn't look back, and replied as he stepped into the carriage, "When I came out this morning, I felt that someone was following me." ”
"If there is any more, you can call me well." Benedict followed him into the car, turned his head and scanned the surroundings, but found no anomaly, it seemed to be gone now.
"Call you, can you hear?" Angelo blinked, smiling at the corners of his mouth, "Because I'm right next to you." How can it not be heard. Benedict reached out to hold the man, and Angelo raised an eyebrow, "It's big in the carriage." ”
"There's still something to go, rely on me to be comfortable." Straighten your own clothes, and what inadvertently flashes is the strong muscles. Angelo rolled his eyes and sat on the other side of the carriage. "Isn't it going back to the palace?"
"Well, private lessons, it's up to me to decide where you study." Benedict pretended to be a mystery, but the shouting of the street corner had revealed their destination.
"I knew it." Angelo closed his eyes slightly, this little distance, there is really no need to use a carriage to pick it up. "Don't want to go back to the palace?" Benedict's voice was a little seductive, "May I take you out?" ”
"Where are you going?" Angelo's eyes rolled, and then he saw the person opposite with a smug face, "Complete the afternoon class first, and I'll take you out." ”
Thinking of the content of this person's class, Angelo pursed his lips, he definitely didn't hold out hope. "Or you let me kiss it, and I'll take you out."
"Here we are." It only took a moment to walk, and it was naturally faster to take the carriage, and Angelo had already heard the sound of the guard at the door checking. Angelo leaned over, and then his lips were pressed, and there was a pull on his waist, and the person was already in mid-air. His eyes widened as he looked at the person in front of him. The lips were close to each other, and this time it wasn't excessive, but they were in mid-air right now, okay.
"You've been planning for a long time." Seeing their destination, Angelo, blinked, Benedict let go of the man, undeniable. "I can't practice anything in school, so I might as well bring you here."
The Abyssal Forest, and judging from the quiet distance here, it is definitely not the periphery.
"How do you explain it in the palace?" They suddenly disappeared from the palace gates, and not only the guards, but Chuck also had to be punished. "I left two puppets in the carriage, and you Dharma gods can't see it." Benedict's mind swept through the forest, giving him a general idea of the forest. It seems that the strength is stronger than he imagined, how long has this world not been noticed?
"......," Angelo was speechless, "where are we now?" "He's only seen the Abyss Forest on the map, and if he really wants to come, neither Angelo nor the current one has ever been here. The surrounding trees are towering, and he can vaguely feel the presence of animals on the top of the trees, as well as the smell of fishy smell in the air, although it is not big, it is enough to prove that this place is not as peaceful as he imagined.
A few birds chirped, several huge figures swept through the air, and the wind brought up by the wave of their wings even hung on the ground. A giant beast that had never been written about in the book, Angelo looked at the golden red pattern on the abdomen of those giant birds, "This is a red-footed dragon sparrow, good at flying, carnivorous, and fire-based. Eighth-level Warcraft. Someone on the side explained that there was a feeling of traveling with an encyclopedia. Angelo smiled at the corner of his mouth, then shook his head.
"We should be not far from the abyss right now. It's the interior of the forest. The abyss that gave the forest its name, Angelo looked around, "You brought me to such a deep place, are you sure you want to teach and not kill me?" ”
"No, I'll take you here to find lunch, and the place where we have classes is still on the periphery." Touching his nose, Benedict grinned, and Angelo looked around, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Find lunch." As the words fell, a roar came, and a big bird with a red crown and blue tail flew straight towards them, and planted its head on the ground, judging from the pit formed in the ground, the speed of this bird just now was definitely not slow. "Hunt for swifts, the fastest flying beasts in the flying monsters." This Angelo had seen it from the book, but the size written in the book and the one in the pit were obviously not the same grade. "How is it so much bigger than it is written in the book?"
"This is an adult, a fifth-level swift living on the periphery, and when it becomes an adult, it is directly promoted to a seventh-level demonic beast, and its attack power is also much greater. If you see a swift's tail starting to lighten blue, don't provoke it, it's a sign that it's about to reach adulthood. Benedict picked up the swan-like swallow in the pit, looked left and right, and with a flick of his arm, the whole swallow's feathers fell off.
"It's not easy to find a swift to become an adult, so it's always mistaken for a low-level magical beast, and it's also pitiful. If a swift is attacked by humans as a child, it will be very hostile to humans when it becomes an adult. "Using the wind blade as a knife, the swallow's breast was removed, and most of the flying birds, only the breast can be eaten.
Angelo looked at the swift that was not easy to become an adult, and it became a dehaired meat swallow, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said that the person who was not easy to become an adult had just killed one.
Rinsing the brisket with thin vines, Benedict walked back to Angelo, "Lunch, but it still needs to be cooked." How do you want to eat? ”
"You know how to cook?" Angelo watched the confident man gradually appear embarrassed, and couldn't help laughing, "Give it to me, you make a fire." "I can't cook a big meal, but it's still okay to grill two briskets. Angelo cut out patterns on the thick pieces of meat and skewered them on the two branches, there was no seasoning in his spatial ring, but there was a salty medicinal herb Zhekan, which might be useful.
"Season this." A gilded flask with a thin neck was handed over, and Angelo opened the bottle, and a rich aroma came, and he could drool when he smelled it. "How do you have spices?"
"Since I know what is delicious, I will naturally have spices." Benedict blinked, Angelo raised an eyebrow, he seemed to have been fooled.
The liquid in the bottle is evenly poured on the meat pieces, and the sauce visible to the naked eye is absorbed by the meat pieces, and it is roasted on the fire, and a burst of aroma comes out.
Stuffing the branch into the hands of the person who pretended to be stupid, Angelo's upper lip curled slightly, "Roast it yourself." Benedict, knowing that he was being seen through, smiled, wrapped his arms around Angelo from behind, and held two branches in his hands. Don't move, your lunch will fall off. ”
The aroma of laurel behind him was clearer than the smell of barbecue, Angelo's breathing was sluggish, and a seductive voice came from his ears, "Lean on me." I don't know if he leaned back or the person behind him walked forward, Angelo pressed a familiar chest on his back.
It's ridiculous to say that they have only known each other for a day now, but the strangeness between the two has disappeared almost instantly. "There wasn't even a run-in period." Angelo muttered and adjusted his posture. There was a light laugh in my ears, "I have been with you for twenty-five years, how can there be no run-in period." ”
"But I don't know anything about you." Angelo lifted his chin and looked at the neck on the top of his head, his fingers caressing the strong Adam's apple, feeling the slide under his hand, Angelo chuckled.
"You know I love you." Let the branch hover above the fire and grab the mischievous hand.
"yes, when you don't love it, I still don't know anything." Saying this, Angelo himself was also stunned, and then smiled, sometimes liking is such a simple thing, maybe it is not the contact of this day, from the attraction of the star when it arrives, more than three months of brightness, the mark in the eye, maybe there are not so many reasons, people with the same aura will have a good impression of each other at the first sight, and people with incompatible aura, even if they are together for a long time, there will be a sense of distance.
Both branches were suspended above the fire, and Angelo noticed the disbelief and joy that flashed in his golden eyes. "What, it's too easy?"
"I've waited too long." Benedict hugged the man he regarded as a treasure, "You don't know that I waited for you to advance for a long time, only if you advance can you get in touch with the rules, I will increase the affinity of the magic element for you, improve the activity of the elements around you, if it weren't for the drug enhancement that will affect you, I would have put the elixir in front of you a long time ago." ”
A series of words made Angelo a little unacceptable, "Then the whirlpool in my abdomen was also caused by you?" Benedict nodded, "Otherwise, you won't be able to balance the four elements, with that vortex, your tuberculosis may be a little slower, but every time you advance, you will balance the four systems of magic." ”
"What else have you done?" Angelo suddenly felt as if he had been raised from the beginning. Benedict thinks about it, can he say anything about changing the rules? It doesn't seem to be recorded in theology, but did the previous Lord God say it? How many years ago? "Let you be accepted by the rules, nothing else." In other words.
"Oh." Angelo blinked, he didn't know what to do to react, like, these things were done, what was the right reaction for him?
"It's baked." A piece of roasted brisket was handed to him, and Angelo realized that he was stunned. Subconsciously open the mouth, the temperature is just right for the meat entrance, the aroma overflows the mouth, the meat juice is direct, the meat is tender, and the taste is very thorough without taking away its own aroma.
Biting the part that does not belong to the barbecue, Angelo's tongue tip is pushed outward, and the slender fingers are stretched along the side of the tongue instead, and the sensitive root of the tongue is pressed and saliva is uncontrolled, "Bite you to death." ”
As soon as he closed his teeth and bit his fingers, Angelo pressed his upper and lower teeth, but his gums ached. Fingers curled slightly, teasing the trismus loosening, Benedict pulled his fingers out and re-handed a piece of roast meat.
"I'll do it myself." Taking the branch, Angelo easily stuffed the piece of roast meat into Benedict's own mouth, his wrist was grabbed, and the feeling of biting came out of his palm, and there was an itch.
"If you don't eat meat, you'll be old." Withdrawing his hand, Angelo directly bit the barbecue as a person who smiled more than a flower on the other side. The barbecue, which had not yet fully cooled down, immediately taught him a lesson, and Angelo gasped, Angelo could already foresee that his lips would swell and blister if he had not been treated.
A shallow white light appeared with the movement of his fingers, and Angelo stroked the area that was no longer painful, smacking his lips. "What's in the aftertaste?" With a teasing voice, Angelo rolled his eyes, "It's burned." ”
A chill blew, and the whole barbecue dropped to the right temperature, "Eat slowly, I still have a lot of seasonings from the shrine." Without the expected chuckle, Angelo muttered a few times and slowly took a bite of the roast.
The two of them were eating fragrant barbecue meat in the depths of the Abyss Forest, a place where seven or eighth-level demonic beasts were everywhere, which could not be described as bold.
At the end of some long lunches, the two of them extinguished the remaining flames, and as for the remaining swallow corpses, they would naturally become a delicacy in the mouths of the monsters when they left.
From the depths of the forest to the outskirts, it is definitely not a short journey, even for an experienced mercenary group, it takes twenty days to walk, and if you want to cross the forest, this time will be more than doubled, because the middle of the forest is not so easy to cross.
But Angelo and the others only took a few breaths to get close to the periphery, after all, if they went directly to the periphery, they would have to scare a few adventurers.
"There's a voice ahead." Benedict pointed ahead, the roar of the monster was already evident, it was clear that there was an expedition fighting, and it was almost over.
A large Holy Light Technique appeared, and a dazzling circle of light was evident on the outskirts of the forest. Angelo raised his eyebrows, "There are very few light magicians who come out with the team, shouldn't they stay in the Holy See well?" ”
"There are also disobedient people, and this phenomenon is very common." Benedict cleared the road in front of him, "Looks like we're going to have to go the other way." ”
"Why?" Angelo looked at the man looming in front of him, Eli. "My second brother is really here."
"I think you scared him last time, so you just came out." Benedict looked at the battle situation on the other side, "As a sword master, your second brother's level is really not low, I'm sure that he won't necessarily lose his momentum against the great sword master." ”
Angelo blinked, "You can be direct, it's okay." ”
"Grumpy and impulsive. Speak without brains. Benedict didn't hesitate to comment, and Angelo felt a tooth ache. Suddenly, he saw Benedict's eyes tighten, "What's wrong?" ”
"Kill the small one, and provoke the big one." As soon as the words fell, a loud lodging sound came. It was accompanied by a sound similar to that of a dragon's groan.
"What is this!?"
