Chapter 102: Xiu Ye's domineering side leakage
Armand has always been unable to see through Andy, he is not born to have too many twists and turns in his head, so every time he faces Andy, a guy who hides a knife in his smile and is good at digging holes in words, he wants to stay away.
However, it has to be said that in terms of professional skills, Andy is by far the strongest of all the priests he has encountered in the Central Temple.
With a layer of pale golden streamer attached to his body, Armand only felt as comfortable as bathing in a hot spring for a while, which made his always cold and hard face unconsciously soften a little.
When the warmth dissipated and the warmth was restored as usual, Armand moved his arms, and the wounds cut during the day in the battle were indeed restored as before.
Such a quick and thorough healing technique has only been seen in Vice-Bishop Andy's alone.
"Thank you for your generosity." Bending his elbow and giving Andy a chivalrous salute, Armand finally showed a hint of relief on his face.
"Captain Armand doesn't have to worry about what is within his duties." Waving his hand lightly at Armand, Andy seemed to suddenly remember something, and the corners of his eyes gradually curved, "Of course, if Armand really doesn't want to go...... I haven't eaten in the evening. ”
As he spoke, he greeted the paladin who had already packed up the beast's corpse not far away, asked for a fresh and bloodshot rabbit leg, and handed it to Armand, "Thanks." ”
Armand was silent, obviously he didn't expect Andy's Vice Bishop to be so unkind, but when he thought that in the past four years, the other party seemed to have always been such a character that people couldn't guess what they would do next, so he still took the rabbit leg, took out a simple seasoning bag from the pouch he carried, and roasted the rabbit leg seriously.
Although the captain of the paladin and the vicar were usually of equal status in the eyes of the people under both sides, even if they had to cooperate every few months, the two had never gotten along with each other as much cordially as they did now, and most of them looked like they were on business.
Of course, for this situation, people on both sides feel that the culprit is completely Captain Armand's perennially frozen cold face and impersonal character.
Therefore, at this time, it is rare to see the two bosses sitting together, and they have also fought bloodily for a day, and they are so tired that they are almost paralyzed on the ground and can't get up, and they all consciously move away to make a fire and cook, and they all hope that the two bosses can get along more harmoniously, so that their lives will be more secure.
The fat rabbit legs hissed on the tongue of fire, and the rich burnt aroma soon filled the area around the campfire.
Andy's eyes were staring at the dinner in the making without blinking, until his eyes were sore from the firelight, and then he turned his gaze to the paladin captain who was cooking.
Armand stared intently at the rabbit leg in his hand.
He's a very serious man in whatever he does, so even if he's just in BBQ, there's not the slightest trace of slackness on his face, which is almost the same as when he fights against monsters.
The corners of his lips hooked slightly, Andy sniffed, and suddenly said, "Captain Armand, have you heard of that legend?" ”
"What?" Armand, who was concentrating on the barbecue, was half a beat slower to react before replying.
Andy didn't care, and continued to himself: "That's it, there is a legend that elves inhabit the misty forest. ”
"Elves?" It's a word that isn't unfamiliar to Armand, but it's almost never mentioned on a regular basis.
He thought for a moment, then looked at the miasma that couldn't see his fingers dozens of steps away, and said his opinion seriously: "If you're talking about the ancient elves who are only mentioned in legends - I don't think they will live in this terrible place. ”
The story of the elves is rarely mentioned by human beings nowadays, but in the few stories that have been sung by people and passed down to this day, as long as the elves are mentioned, they are all beautiful words that make people yearn for them.
However, there are very few records about the deeds of the major races in ancient times, even in the library of the central temple, so Armand really doesn't know much about the elven race.
However, he always felt that such a beautiful creature would never live with the demonic beasts in this dangerous and smoky forest.
"Yes." Smiling and turning his gaze back to the flames, Andy looked down at his fingertips, where a small bright flame "poofed" out, startling Armand - because of a similar sight, he had seen it when he was hunting down "heretics".
His heart sank slightly, and when Armand looked at it carefully, he realized that the "flame" on Andy's fingertips was originally imitated by the power of light, and it was not at all the destructive power expressed by "heresy".
"Nonsense!" Relieved at the bottom of his heart, Armand couldn't help but reprimand Andy.
"Don't be so nervous." chuckled and patted Armand on the shoulder, finding that the muscles under his hands were tense and stiff, obviously really concerned about what had just happened, and the smile in Andy's eyes was even worse.
He couldn't help but lean closer to Armand, almost shoulder to shoulder with the captain of the paladin, and then said softly: "When I was studying in the Central Temple, when I was still preparing for the priesthood, I heard a lot of rumors about elves. There's one of them that I particularly care about. ”
His voice was low and soft, a little muffled by the beep of the burning wood, and Armand had to tilt his body and inadvertently lean his ear over in order to hear him clearly.
Then, I heard Andy whisper in his ears: "It is rumored that in the era of darkness thousands of years ago, it was not the Celestial Clan who really repelled the demons and saved the continent from fire and water, but the elves-"
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, startling a group of people who were preparing dinner, and they all stared at the two bosses who made such a big noise.
This look almost scared everyone half to death: the two who got along well and harmoniously just now, I don't know why, they actually tore up!
Of course, it can also be said that Captain Armand unilaterally wants to beat Vice-Bishop Andy - with the size and physique of the priest and the paladin, it is quite a fantasy to want these two people to really pinch their strength.
However, in any case, the paladin, who is the protector, should not behave so rudely towards the priest.
Therefore, the people who had finally recovered from this shocking scene immediately rushed towards the two of them, and the paladins wasted their strength to eat, and it was only with great fear that they could save Andy's collar from the captain of Oman.
"Team...... Captain! Don't be impulsive! If you have something to say, whether the brothers will return alive in the next few days depends on them! ”
"That's it, you can't get into infighting at this time, Captain!"
Balabala, Balabala, the paladins who are usually powerful and high-spirited, almost knelt down for their boss!
Even as the group of boys kept whispering in his ears, Armand's face was still ugly.
Throwing the rabbit leg on Andy, who was protected by several other bunny cubs, Armand's eyes changed, and in the end, he didn't want to add any more psychological burden to everyone after a day of desperate fighting, so he calmly went to a campfire farthest away from here, turned his back to this side, and sat down alone.
Seeing this, the knights finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then they all turned their heads and looked at Lord Andy, the deputy, who held their power of life and death.
Seeing this, Andy immediately smiled like a spring breeze, and waved the rabbit leg in his hand at them, "Captain Armand was just joking with me just now, please don't pay too much attention to it, let's go to dinner." ”
“…… It's true? The young paladin couldn't help but confirm.
"Don't worry, I won't take everyone's life safety as a joke because of a joke, this is a promise as a priest."
When the knights heard this, they immediately respected Vice-Bishop Andy - the priests have always had a noble status on the mainland, and the priests cultivated by the central temple are even more than the places, not to mention that Lord Andy, as a powerful vice-bishop, can still be so tolerant and generous after being bullied in public by the knights who should be the protectors, it really makes the paladins not know what to say.
At the same time, because of this, there are some big or small resentments towards Captain Armand, who is still facing away from Vice-Bishop Andy and exuding strong dissatisfaction, and even, because the two bosses are tearing apart in public, and a vague uneasiness about tomorrow's action spreads.
These small agitations are naturally immediately perceived by Andy, who is good at capturing other people's feelings.
Speaking of which, if he hadn't taken the initiative to provoke Armand, things wouldn't have turned out the way they are.
Laughing and walking up to Armand in the horrified gaze of everyone, Andy sat down next to him, and immediately received an unkind look from Armand.
Pressing his palm on Armand's shoulder, stopping him from wanting to get up and leave, Andy finally chuckled and apologized: "I was wrong before, and I made you unhappy." However, now is not the time to lose your temper, and your affection has already been transmitted to your group of knights. ”
Armand was stunned when he heard this, and immediately turned around and looked back.
Everyone who was paying attention to the movements of the two bosses suddenly dispersed, but their eyes still swept over a few times from time to time, wanting to follow up on the progress of the two peace talks.
Seeing this, Armand fell silent for a moment, followed the direction of Andy's force, and sat back again.
Andy tore a small piece of meat from the rabbit's leg, and stuffed most of the rest to Armand.
The overture was too obvious, and the upright Armand didn't care too much about his previous rebellious words, so he took the rabbit leg, but in the end he still couldn't hold it back, his chest churned for a long time, and finally he still stared at his face and lowered his voice to warn Andy, "Those words just now are not allowed to be mentioned to anyone in the future." ”
Hearing this, Andy raised his eyelids and looked at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled, "Why, seeing that you were so angry before, did you really believe that trumped-up rumor?" ”
Seeing that he was still biting on this matter, Armand suddenly became a little anxious - this idiot, does he know what these words mean for a priest of the God of Light?! If anyone behind them hears it and reports it to the temple, Andy's future will definitely not be related to the light.
In desperation, Armand almost made another move on Andy.
Fortunately, this time Andy stopped him in time.
Holding Armand's big rough hand, Andy smiled and whispered in Armand's ear, "Idiot, haven't you ever thought about what I was exiled to this almost certain death place for?" ”
――
The night was slightly cool, and on the way back to Jacob's Town, Fei Yaran contacted Leon in a secret chat and explained him a few things:
First, send someone as quickly as possible to pick up the "heretic" that he planted in the ground and was robbed by him halfway;
second, send people to keep an eye on the final fate of the monsters that were escorted by paladins and clerics from the vicinity of Jacob's town to the central temple;
Third, seize the time to enclose the site of the First Demon Martial Academy, and quickly build the school building of the Demon Martial Academy according to the drawings he had explained before.
After that, Fei Yaran contacted her eldest apprentice, the orc princess Cang Lan, and asked her to do her best to handle the affairs at hand in the clan, and prepare to go to Dillon's Demon Martial Arts Academy to preach and teach and solve her doubts, and fulfill her responsibilities as a senior sister of the sect. Of course, it would be better if she was willing to bring a few younger brothers of the clan who had learned magic martial arts well over to help.
After explaining to the two apprentices, Fei Yaran took out another carrier pigeon and sent a letter to Bai in Azeroth, in which he reported in detail the past few days in Nameless Village, Jacob's Town, and the Misty Forest with the team of paladins and priests, as well as their capture of magical beasts in the Misty Forest.
After doing this, Fei Yaran finally remembered, and he didn't know what happened to the man who was buried under the ground the night before.
Originally, he didn't expect to be away for so long, but fortunately, the vine itself has an enchantment effect, which can automatically filter the air and elemental power, but I don't know if it will provide that person with the nutrients needed for human physiology.
Thinking of this, Fei Yaran quickly went to the buried forest and asked the vines to dig people out for him to see.
So, a huge cocoon made of vines, in the dark night, topped and crushed through the dirt, and jumped out of the ground with a wrapped man.
With a flick of his hand to spread out the vines that wrapped around the man, Fei Yaran looked at the man sleeping quietly in the middle of the vine with a ruddy face and even breathing, and suddenly had the magical feeling of revisiting the fairy tale "Thumbelina" when he was a child.
Noticing that the man did not show the slightest sign of discomfort, and looking at the thick night overhead, Fei Yaran immediately buried the man in the ground again, intending to dig him out and take him with him when he left Jacob's town during the day.
Yes, after these two days of seeing and hearing in Jacob's Town, Fei Yaran completely broke the original idea of traveling all the way to Dillon, and planned to go to Dillon as quickly as possible to concentrate on developing the Demon Martial Academy.
Originally, because he was guarding against Silver and was worried about the secret on his body being exposed, Fei Yaran didn't want Silver to find out about the connection between himself and Dillon too early, but now, after melting his heart defense against Silver by chance and learning about the temple's act of capturing demonic beasts in the Misty Forest, Fei Yaran felt a little uneasy about the future inexplicably.
He couldn't tell where the source of this uneasiness was, obviously at the moment, he was not sure where the captured demonic beasts were used, but after seeing that incident, there was a voice in his heart, which had been urging him to urgently urge him to complete the main task of making the human race strong as soon as possible.
Elves have always had accurate instincts, something that Fei Yaran had learned for the past twenty years.
And leaving a lot of things alone, it's not his style to really hang around on the mainland all the way.
Therefore, Fei Yaran decided to wait for the night to pass, as soon as the day dawned, and set off with Silver for Dillon.
As for whether Silver will have doubts and doubts about his relationship with Dillon, he has already thought of a way to deal with it for the time being, although it may sound a little unreliable, but it is not necessarily impossible.
When Fei Yaran returned to the treehouse, Silver was reading a book by the light of the pitcher grass that lit up in the night.
He couldn't help but lean over and glanced at the book with interest, "Are you looking at the information of 'Si Feng' again?" ”
Yin didn't nod or shake his head, but popped out a finger wind, and threw Fei Yaran into the steamy bathroom in minutes, "Wash it and come out again." ”
Fei Yaran: ......
He couldn't help but glance down at his body. As an elf who also has a habit of cleanliness, Fei Yaran has always paid great attention to personal hygiene, and every time he passes by from a dirty place, he will throw a few cleaning magic on his body, even more so before entering the door just now, but he didn't expect to be disgusted by Silver like this, and immediately picked up the door frame of the bathroom, and glared at Silver with a dissatisfied face.
His gaze was too hot, and Silver naturally noticed.
It's just that his brows furrowed slightly, and Silver glanced at him impatiently, "The blood on his body is too heavy." ”
Fei Yaran was stunned, and the tragic scene he had seen in the misty forest all day suddenly appeared in his mind, and he hurriedly put his nose on his sleeve and sniffed it, as if he really smelled a faint smell of rust.
The tip of his eyebrows twisted into a pimple, Fei Yaran finally stopped raising the bar with Yin, and threw a dozen or so cleansing magic on his body, only then did he strip off his clothes in three or two times, and slid into the hot spring to wash it carefully.
After washing and changing clothes, Fei Yaran didn't even have time to dry his hair, so he hurriedly came to Yin's side again, and leaned his sleeves over, "You smell it, does it still smell now?" ”
Silver glanced at him speechlessly, and before the water droplets on Fei Yaran's long hair fell, he put the book in his hand aside with both palms, and shook off a wind magic that dried his long hair, and then moved the tip of his nose-
It's just the faint scent of roses that lingers on the little thing.
However, when he raised his eyelids and looked at the young man who was slightly nervous under his eyes, he only said "no" in his heart, and then slapped the young man who was obviously relieved.
