Chapter 299: Captured
As support slowly approached the Cedar Kingdom, Erin and Maya traveled lightly along the coastline. On the coast, more and more beasts are forced to migrate. Some of the powerful individuals and populations have settled down, and the weaker ones are still screaming and fighting in fear, trying to adapt to the new changes.
Seeing this, Erin knew that the intruder had stopped, and her nervousness had eased.
The environment around her is changing, and even if she can't see the magic, Erin knows that the concentration and impact of the magic is intensifying.
After being with Bran for a long time, some visions caused by changes in magic are no longer unfamiliar. At first, it felt fresh and interesting, and slowly became numb, but that feeling became an instinct subtly.
Originally, she didn't plan to go deep into the south, but the influx of birds and beasts became more and more, and she couldn't help but want to find out. The path of the march will always be relatively fixed, and it will be difficult for the influence to spread too far. However, the scene that appeared in front of her made Erin feel puzzled.
The road was unimpeded by Maya's company, but the beasts along the way were unlucky. Maya is curious about things she hasn't seen before, and she has a special way of satisfying her curiosity – eating!
While amused, Erin gradually realized that this really seemed to be a good idea. As she ate more and more, Maya gradually became mature and sophisticated. The smells that permeated the surroundings were no longer unfamiliar, what was there, and was there any danger? Maya's judgment became more and more accurate.
The road ahead is boring, monotonous, and interesting. During the night's break, Erin recounted the story of Bran around the lit bonfire. "He wasn't strong at that time, and even the cats around him were more dangerous than him. is often beaten by his sister, and for a while he dangles around with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and he doesn't feel ashamed. On the contrary, his sister was so angry that she choked ......"
Watching Erin's almost whispering narration, Maya finally couldn't help but snort, and the campfire in front of her flickered and darkened. Seeing Erin turn her head, she stretched out her paws and wrote a few words on the ground: "He's not human." ”
Erin blinked, then shook her head vigorously, then looked at the words again uncertainly.
"Can you write, our words?"
Maya snorted disdainfully, turning the fire out again, "Your writing is roughly the same as my former companions. ”
"How can you write?"
Maya was very dissatisfied with this question, "I am a dragon, not an ignorant beast. ”
It could be seen that Maya was very concerned about this, and Erin changed the topic very considerately, "Who do you say is not human?"
"Bran is not human. ”
As soon as this sentence was written, it caused Erin to roll her eyes.
Maya was anxious, and once again wiped the ground in front of her, and wrote "He's really not human!"
This time, it was a gentle blow, "Don't talk nonsense! Don't be angry with him because of me. ”
Maya was a little anxious, "I'm not going to scold him for not being human, but he's really not human!"
Erin looked at the words, and her expression gradually became serious and serious: "Then who is he? and what is it?"
"We dragons are very sensitive to magic, and we perceive the world in many ways different from yours. Whatever Bran originally looked like, he was now deprived of his flesh and blood, as I couldn't smell the aroma of his flesh and mana. ”
Maya pouted, paw kept writing, "The people here are weird. Your friend Zoya, that despicable girl also has this tendency, and seems to be losing her flesh too.
You can't have results, and you can't have a bunch of healthy children with him. ”
This made Erin blush a little, and exhaled softly. "We're just friends, and because of some things, we don't have the same relationship as we used to. ”
Erin patted Maya and continued, "As long as he's okay, what's the point of losing some flesh and blood? As long as it's not some other monster impostoring, what if he's human or not?
At that time, he spent more and more time under the tree every day, and looked less and less around him, and I knew that there would be no result. There will be no results for everyone, including Dani, who has always been with him. It's just that some people stay with me longer, but I don't. ”
Erin looked up at the night sky, and after a while asked, "If you can write, why can't you say it?"
Maya lifted her neck, pointed her paw at her throat, and let out a low thump that caused a stir in the nearby woods. Then he wrote on the ground, "You learn from me to speak." ”
Erin couldn't help but smile and patted Maya gently, "Although I can't learn it, I will still learn from you, maybe I will be able to understand it after a while." ”
That night, Erin and Maya talked a lot. Because Maya was so depressed that she didn't stop writing and drawing on the ground. Traveling all the way from his hometown, the grievances and frightes he received were finally vented. It wasn't until dawn that Maya reluctantly stopped paws.
One person and one dragon walked and talked, and before they knew it, the beasts around them gradually became scarce. The air was getting more and more humid, and even when the sun was scorching, the treetops and grass blades were covered with water droplets.
Maya, who had always been vigilant, twitched her nose a few times and tilted her head towards the hill not far away. Then he and Erin sneaked up on it.
As soon as she showed up, Erin couldn't help but be stunned.
On the beach in the distance, the company camp obscured the sky and the sun until the end of the day. Outside the company camp, some simple rejection horses were scattered and scattered. Some people are lazily hiding behind the horses, sitting or standing. Not far from here, more people are playing in the water.
Looking at them here, those people don't seem to be much different. It's just that at this time, it seems a little weird that there will be so many people frolicking in the water.
The entire sea surface is a crowd of people who rise and fall with the waves, both men and women are almost **, and only wear armor pieces in the vital parts. Erin watched it for a long time, but the more she watched, the more confused she became. It was too far away and many things were not real, and she didn't dare get too close.
The experience of living in the North City has given Erin a deep understanding of the strangeness of wizards. In the face of possible wizards, she did not dare to be careless. So, after a while, she motioned for Maya to quietly step back the same way.
"Let's go back. "In the face of an intruder of this magnitude, Erin was a little timid.
Maya nodded at its massive head and silently followed Erin's side.
After dark, everything was no different than usual. It's just that Erin, who was sleeping in the middle of the night, was awakened, and Maya had an extra captive at her feet.
