16 Are you he/she?

"I think it's a little weird." After quickly following Brower north for a long time to confirm that it was safe, Lagash shouted at Browl: "It seems that there are no pursuers? Let's find a place to land first, and something seems wrong with her. ”

The raven in Broll's form let out a low cry and motioned for him to follow, spiraling down into the dense forest of ancient trees in front of him, and Lagash hurriedly manipulated the horned eagle to follow closely.

A short time later, the two landed in a field of rubble.

Ragash untied Thea from his back and took it in his arms. He patted her on the face, but Thea didn't react, her face was gray. The deceased's skin was so cold that it was impossible to tell if she was still alive. A desperate panic gripped Lagash's heart again.

"What's wrong with her? Still alive? He asked Brower.

Browl frowned and examined it, finding a terrible bite mark on Thea's hand.

"It looks like it was bitten by some kind of bug, it's really strange, there are no poisonous insects near Thunder Bluff. I'll give it a try. ”

Broll chanted a vague and ancient incantation, and a green light emitted from his hands, and it was enveloped in Thea. The green light entered Xia's body, and it was visible to the naked eye that green points of light were constantly swimming within her. A large amount of black blood flowed out of the wound between the fingers. As the color of her blood turned dark red, Thea's eyebrows moved slightly.

Broll crouched down, dipped a little black blood from the ground, sniffed it under his nose, and twisted it with his hand. "It's strange, such a poison, if it were a living person, he should have died a long time ago. This toxin is rare. …… It seems like I've seen it a long time ago. What saved her? ”

"Can you remember what kind of toxin this is?" Lagash asked.

Broll thought for a moment and shook his head. "I've lived too long since ...... In the future, I don't want to think about the previous things, it's been a long time. It's slowly blurred. ”

Ragash looked up and looked around, surrounded by towering ancient trees with lush foliage. The light barely shone in, and the ground was covered with green grass and moss. The place where they were looked like a dilapidated ruin, and not far away there was a small lake that shone with the sheen of the waves. Occasionally, one or two fawns could be seen jumping by. There was no other living thing, silence.

"Broll, do you know where this is?"

Broll sighed. "Ash Valley. I think that lake is a bit like Lake Mystra. It's not far from Astranna. My sense of direction is pretty good. ”

"Astrana?"

"The town of the Night Elves. I have a relative there. We fled in a hurry, and we didn't even have a weapon at hand, so we couldn't do that. I can get some necessary things from her. But," Brower glanced at Shia. "I'm afraid she won't be able to get in."

Ragash frowned. "Then you go, I'll take her outside and wait for you."

Browl glanced at Lagash, and the eyes of the brave ghost wolf fell on the bereaved woman. Thinking of his daughter, Browl could understand Lagash's actions very well: "Then so be it, you can stay here first, and I will go now." When I get back, we'll set off to pick up Valera. ”

"Brower...... I'm sorry. ”

"What do you mean by that? We're good partners! Brower said unhappily.

"I insisted on taking her with me...... It's a drag on you. ”

"Good brothers, don't talk about this!" Brower knocked him, "And, I understand your feelings...... I will be back as soon as possible. He stood up, turned into a raven and flew away.

Ragash, who stayed where he was, looked at Xia, who was still unresponsive. Hesitantly, he took her cold hand and pressed it to his face, as if it would warm her. "Will you ...... It's really ......."

What is it? In her vague consciousness, she felt a burst of warmth in her hands...... It is the breath of life......

She struggled to open her eyes, and the blurred figure in front of her became clearer. Her mind went completely blank. How could it be him? She remembered that she was still in the Pool of Foresight at Thunder Bluff when she fainted! Then how to see him. If it weren't for the aftermath of the poisoning, which caused her to be so weak that she couldn't make a sound, she would have screamed a long time ago.

"Are you awake?" Lagash asked. He didn't even notice the surprise in his tone.

A deep, deep voice, so familiar.

But looking at his face, the hatred and grievances of the dying in the depths of his memory gradually came back, and Xia closed her eyes and turned her face away. She didn't want to see Ragash's face. She tried to break free of his hand, but she used all her strength but only moved her fingers.

Feeling the faint movement in his hand, Ragash was slightly stunned and subconsciously let go, and Thea's hand slid down. Before her hand could hit the ground, Ragash had already taken her hand in again. Thea wrenched her fingers again.

"Hey. What do you mean......" Lagash was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Thea meant, and he was furious, and his heart felt like a fire was burning. He clenched his fists and yelled at Thea, "Believe it or not, I killed you? Lao Tzu is not going to eat you! "That being said. But he held Thea's hand but was reluctant to let go.

Thea listened to his angry voice, but felt something strange in her heart.

Such a frizzy and irritable personality does not resemble him at all. If it were him, he would never say such a thing. If it weren't for the preoccupation with hearing his familiar voice say something that didn't match him at all, Sia might have laughed.

But if Ragash was not him, the two of them were too similar in shape and appearance, and even their voices were so similar, even more similar than twins. But he is an only son, there will never be a brother, even the clan can no longer be found, and he is the only one left in the whole family.

Xia closed her eyes, looking like she was admitting the punishment and listening to the respect, but she made up her mind in her heart that she must find out what was going on.

Here, Xia closed her eyes and didn't speak, and over there, Lagash shouted loudly, but her hands clenched her fists and didn't move.

For a long time, he put down his hand angrily.

Seeing that the weather was getting darker, Lagash stood up, vented his anger on the dead branches of the surrounding trees, bleeped and folded back, squeaked and lit a fire, lit a bonfire, and then sat by the fire and looked at Thea's face by the fire.

"Don't play dead, I warn you. You fainted from poisoning in the pool of foresight, and we saved you" When he said this, Lagash himself felt a little lacking in confidence.

Shia remained silent.

"I know you're not asleep, do you know me? Tell me, who am I? Ragash didn't care so much, and babbled on and on. I don't know why he felt so calm and comfortable when he talked to her, as if all the anxiety and anxiety were gone.

"I don't remember a lot of things...... Originally, I went to the pool of foresight to recover my memory, but it was still important to be free. But I saw my family there - my father, my wife, my children. ”

Child...... Thea's tightly closed eyelids suddenly jumped.

"I really shouldn't have run away with you." Lagash threw a handful of dead branches into the fire. "But you look exactly like my wife."

Thea opened her eyes and looked at him in surprise. Is his personality like this because he has lost his memory? She thought confusedly. Could it really be him?

Ragash stared intently at the fire in front of him, the flames staining his pale red eyes.

"She's dead...... Ragash fell silent.

For a moment, only the crackling sound of flames burning and dead branches remained, and the surroundings were exceptionally quiet.

In the deathly silence, Xia laboriously spoke: "I am not your wife......"

"Really?" Lagash looked at her, a hearty smile on his face. "I think you are!"

Thea was a little annoyed: "I said no. ”

"I said yes!" Ragash walked up to her, tucked her up the cloak that was over her, and sat down beside her. "It doesn't matter what you say, the point is that I trust my instincts. Do you know what they call me now? Lagash - The Wolf of Ghosts. Don't they all say that the intuition of beasts is the most accurate? Do you know my real name? ”

"I told you I don't know you." Thea opened up with him with some regret. She pressed down on the name on the tip of her tongue and flipped away. The weakness of her body and the tiredness of her nerves made her soon fall asleep irresistibly. She didn't realize that just as Ragash felt at peace and comfort by her side, she actually had an unwarranted trust in Lagash and believed that she was safe by his side.

Ragash sat beside her, and it took a long time to tell that she had fallen asleep. He smiled wryly and began to seriously ponder whether she could be his wife. Although the intuition was confirmed, reason could not help but think about it.

In the silence, a whisper sounded softly, faintly dissipated into the air almost as soon as the wind blew.

"Husband......

The two words, which were faint and thin, were like sharp arrows, piercing through Lagash's chest to his back and through his heart. He shuddered uncontrollably. In that dream, his wife called him shyly and timidly with a smile. Every word sounds like a taste of happiness.

He hurried at Thea, only to find her still asleep.

"Is it a delusion?" He let go in some frustration, and Thea's body flipped over. In the firelight, a line of striking tears hung on her face.

Lagash silently took his hand and carefully wiped away her tears. He licked his fingers gently, and the forsaken tears seemed saltier, the bitter taste running from the tip of his tongue to his heart.

He knew in his heart that it wasn't a delusion.
