155 Be honest
"What...... Rowling smugly "Now, can we rest somewhere?" ”
"Hmm." Carré hated Rowling so much, but for the sake of Lynn helping Avena solve this big problem, he decided not to bother with Rowling. "I've been on my own in the Alterac Valley for a while, so I know a little bit about the area. Why don't you go to the cave where I stayed for the night, not far ahead? How about tomorrow? ”
"Good. I think it's good. "Chia was the first to vote in favor of Carré.
"I don't care...... I'm pretty used to living in the wild anyway. Rowling also said with the crowd.
Since the three people around her said so, plus what Rowling gave her really made Anvina feel very helpful. Therefore, Anvina no longer insists on staying here. The group followed Carré to the place he had called his dwelling.
Perhaps because of the remnants of the dragon's power, Carré's cave remained dry and clean even after he left, with no signs of wild beasts approaching. With a simple packing and the support of the camping equipment brought out by the bounty hunter Rowling, the group was finally able to get a good night's sleep.
"Although the conditions in the wild are a little worse, girls still have to be better for themselves." Rowling thoughtfully handed Avena a hot drink. "This will help you regain your energy."
"Thank you." Anvena took the cup from Rowling's hand, and subconsciously Carré and Thea found that they were also drinking with a glass in their hands, so they drank it with peace of mind.
Soon after drinking, Anvina felt a wave of sleepiness welling up.
"Avena, you're tired. Let's have a good rest. Thea's gentle voice rang in her ears.
"Uh-huh......" Anvena replied in a daze, and then fell asleep.
"Did she fall asleep like that?" Listening to the sound of Avena's even, long breathing, Carré was the first to get up and asked softly.
"My tranquilizer is very effective!" Rowling said unconvinced. "Don't you always question my professionalism?"
"Shh Thea held up her hand and signaled them to be quiet. She gently brushed away the loose hair on Avena's forehead and observed it for a moment before walking over to Carré and Rowling. "I did fall asleep, but, just to be on the safe side. I think we should have a soundproof barrier. ”
"Hmm." At this time, Carré very much agreed with Shia's caution. He whispered the incantation. Soon, a small transparent enchantment enveloped the sleeping Anvina.
"Alright." Carré confidently withdrew his hand. "Trust me, not even the dragon's voice will wake Avena up."
"Dragon...... Hum reads;. Rowling seemed to have all the words she was complaining about. But the half-threatening gaze at Kare, who had to swallow it wisely.
"Alright, Rowling, let's talk about it." Sia asked. "What the hell do you know? Are Avena's parents still alive? ”
"You ...... Why do you insist that I know something? Rowling pretended to be stupid. I'm a simple good person! ”
"Good man......" Carré sneered. I don't think a veteran bounty hunter would be a good guy. ”
Rowling's eyebrows furrowed, and her apricot eyes widened. Eyes are going to quarrel with Carré. But Thea wasn't going to let Rowling just fool him around. She grabbed Rowling and persuaded with a half-smile. "Alright. Rowling, are you going to fight Carré? I don't want this cave to be blown open by you again. That kind of experience...... One time is enough, don't you say? ”
Speaking of the last incident, Rowling immediately remembered the thrilling experience of hanging the dragon's tail in a lifetime. A strong feeling of vomiting came over her almost immediately. Her face changed dramatically, covering her mouth and beware of the mines. Carré had no idea that he had left such a strong mark on the heart of this daring Miss Rowling. It's just an unhappy face. But it was clear that Thea knew exactly what Rowling was thinking.
"Rowling, I think since we're friends. Friends should be honest with each other, don't you think? Thea said to Rowling with a smile. But her eyes drifted towards Carré again and again with a hint of menace.
"Hmm...... Yes...... Alas......" Rowling seems to have finally recognized the situation in front of her, and there is no longer any fluke. "Okay. I say. In fact...... I had met Avena's parents before her house burned down. ”
"What?" Hearing the news, Carré couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Thea raised an eyebrow - sure enough, Rowling had something to say about the whereabouts of Avena's parents.
"I ...... Actually, it's kind of guilt. Rowling turned her face away, not looking away. Shortly after you left, I noticed that you had dropped something and wanted to send it to you. We bounty hunters have some special tips for tracking. Besides, you didn't try to hide your whereabouts, so when I arrived at Avena's house, it was probably not long after you left......"
……………………………………
"Is there anyone in this house?"
"You are?" Anvina's father stepped out, his expression a little uneasy, like a frightened bird.
"Ah, my name is Rowling, and I'm here to find some friends." Rowling smiled harmlessly. "Uncle, have you seen a few young men and women? My friends and I got separated. One of my friends, oh, a blonde girl, said her family lives around here, so I asked if this was her house. ”
"And what do your other friends look like?" Anvina's mother leaned out from behind her father and asked.
"Oh, a blue-haired man with a paralyzed face on an iceberg, quite like an elf, and a black-haired undead woman." Rowling kept the smile on her face, but the bounty hunter's sensitive instincts secretly felt a little strange in the couple's performance.
"And what is the name of the human girl you're looking for?"
"Oh, Anvina. The other two are Carré and Thea, and we're good friends who just broke up from Steinbrad. ”
The couple in front of them breathed a heavy sigh of relief after listening to Rowling's answer.
"It's Avenna's friend! Call...... That's right, this is Avena's home, and we're her parents. Since you're Avena's friend, let's go inside and talk. It's not good to hang guests at the door. Avena's father smiled and leaned over to invite Rowling into the house. Wife, go make a pot of tea. I remember we should have had some fruit tea. ”
"Well, okay, I'll go." Avena's mother replied loudly. "I remember that the elf ladies love to drink the fruit tea of the Yongge Forest."
Rowling listened to the conversation between Avena's parents and couldn't help but think that they were really very hospitable, but she was more concerned about how these two couples, who were not at all old (relative to the life span of elves), knew the likes and tastes of elves.
When Avena's mother brought the refreshments to the guests, the tea utensils in the style of Quel'Salas, Rowling couldn't help but wonder how the old couple could have found such supplies in the wilderness.
"Come, please try it, Miss Elf." Avena's mother urged with a smile. "I don't know if it's to your taste."
"Just call me Rowling, aunt." Rowling brazenly and stubbornly pressed her age desperately into the small reads;. God knows, in fact, she is much older than Avena's parents and grandmothers.
Although she felt that Avena's parents seemed to have such and such suspicions, Rowling still couldn't stand the hospitable couple and picked up the teacups. Thinking that he is also a friend of Anvina, these two old men should not have any ill will towards him. It was just habitually out of bounty hunter caution that Rowling decided to just pretend to take a sip. However......
"Wow!! Delicious! Rowling's eyes widened in surprise and she gave a heartfelt admiration for the tea in her hand. Is...... It's so delicious, it's exactly the same as the taste of the Falcon Square dessert shop in Silvermoon City! It's been a long time since I've had such a delicious tea! ”
"Really? Rowling, if only you liked it. Anvina's mother said with a smile on her face.
At this time, Rowling had basically judged that the tea in the cup was absolutely clean and unfrequent, so she drank it with confidence, wiped the corners of her mouth gently, and asked, "Thank you for the hospitality." However, I came to Avena for something, and I don't know where she is now. ”
"She's ......," Anvina's parents exchanged glances.
Avena's father said, "She and her two friends are out on business, and they don't expect to be back until the evening." Miss Rowling could have waited for them here if she wasn't in a hurry. ”
"No hurry, no hurry." Rowling waved her hand and laughed. "Of course I'm not in a hurry."
"That'...... I don't know, what is the matter with Miss Rowling coming to see us Anvina? Anvina's mother inquired curiously as she refilled her tea.
"Ahh That......" Rowling was about to pull something out of her pocket when Avena's father's face suddenly changed.
"That's coming!"
Hearing this, Anvina's mother's face immediately turned dead. "That person ......," her voice trembled slightly.
"What's wrong?" Rowling looked a little confused as if they were on the verge of the enemy.
"Quick, Miss Rowling, follow me." Avena's mother grabbed Rowling's hand, dragged Rowling into the kitchen, and lifted a plank. "Get down, run! The farther you run, the better! (To be continued)
