127 Temptation and Stay
Anvina's father shook his pipe and said nonchalantly, "Steinbrad? That town is uninhabited and deserted......"
"But the town isn't far from us, just to the southwest." Anvina's mother added. "If you take the main road, it will be about half a day's journey."
"That's right...... Thank you and thank you for your hospitality. Then I won't bother. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Carré, who had been struggling with the food on the plate, and stood up with a smile to take her leave.
"Are you going to hit the road now?" A look of surprise flashed across Avena's face as she grabbed Thea's hand. She kindly suggested in the almost dark sky. "You'd better stay at my house for the night before you leave. Nights in Alterac aren't the best for travel. ”
"Huh?" This time it was Xia's turn to be surprised, and Carré, who had just breathed a sigh of relief because of Xia's resignation, was even more in a trance and accidentally choked, coughing again and again.
"But, I ......," Thea wanted to refuse. But Anvina had already discussed it with her mother.
"What does Mom think?"
"Of course. …… But there is only one guest room. ”
"That'...... The guest room allows Carre to sleep, he is a wounded man who needs a good rest; Sia just sleep with me! Without waiting for Thea's refusal before exiting, Anvina had already arranged everything in a decisive tone, and turned her head with an eager look of anticipation. Xia, you won't dislike it, will you? ”
"Uh, no...... Of course not. Belch...... Thank you. Thea replied with some confusion.
"That's great!" Anvena clapped her hands and smiled happily. "I'll clean up right away."
"Thanks to the hospitality, I'm full." Carré interrupted Avena with a push of the plate. He glanced at Wiena with a soft gaze, and then turned to Thea, his gaze became calm and sharp again. "Also, I feel like my wound seems a little unstable. Miss Priest of the Dead. Can you help me check again? ”
Carré's salutation made Thea slightly displeased, but she refrained from showing it, and only nodded slightly. (Advertisement) "Okay. ”
The dark tide between the two was turbulent, and the Anvina family was completely unaware.
"The wound is unstable again?" Anvena asked with concern. Turning his father. "Dad, do you still have the bandages you made last time? I'll go get some. ”
Anvina's father tilted his head. I thought about it carefully. "I think about it, it seems to be in the ...... There it is. I'll get it for you—you'll turn things inside out. ”
Anvena stuck out her tongue and smiled sheepishly.
"Then Anvina, take them to the guest room." Avena's mother also stood up and began to clean up the table. "If you need anything, just call me. Make this your home, and you're welcome. She smiled at Thea and Carré.
The two guests were a little unnatural, but they still nodded slightly, and accepted the kindness.
"Okay, Mom." Anvina cheerfully raised her voice. "Come, come with me."
Carré and Thea glanced at each other, and silently followed Avena to the guest room.
Arriving at the guest room, Carré glanced at the furnishings on the table. "Anvina. Sorry, I think I need a basin of water to clean the wound. ”
"Okay. Then I'll get it. Anvena didn't doubt him, turned around and went out to get water.
Listening to the girl's footsteps fade away, Carré's face gradually sank. "Miss Undead, do you know someone who injured me?"
“…… Know. Are you interrogating? Shia glanced at Carré's blue hair in return. Mr. Blue Dragon. ”
Carré didn't seem to hear the irony in her words, let alone be surprised that she had guessed his identity - of course, if she knew the disguised dragon's side as she claimed, it wouldn't be too difficult to guess his identity. His hand clasped gently. "If you don't answer me properly, I don't mind being a little tougher. The wounded dragon is still a dragon. Miss. ”
"You're right, but Mr. Blue Dragon, do you have to be so curious?"
"Of course." Carré replied dryly. "It's about what kind of attitude I'm going to have towards you."
Thea snorted. "I don't care what you think of me."
"Well, then. I don't want our relationship to get into trouble for the Avena family. ”
This sentence silenced Thea for a moment. She whispered from the side of her eyes. “…… At least not for now, I don't want to meet him. Maybe we can agree on this? ”
Her answer relieved Carré. "That's right. At least we can agree on that. Our encounter was just a coincidence. ”
"It should be. If it weren't for Anvina, I don't think we would have met. Thea subconsciously looked out the door. But humans are isolated here - and I'm not used to being so friendly to a strange race. ”
Carré could hear the sound of her words. "What's wrong with mere zeal? At least in my absence of magical powers, they are far more reliable than you. ”
At this time, Anvina's footsteps could be heard from far away outside the door, probably because of the water, and her light steps were a little louder than before.
Carré hurried to whisper quickly, "I've heard about the Forsaken's attitude towards humans, and I hope you won't do anything stupid. But if you dare to make a move on this family, I will never let you go. ”
"I don't doubt that." Thea glanced at him, turned and opened the door to meet Avena. "Need my help? Anvina. ”
"It's fine. It's not a few steps! Anvena smiled as she brought the basin into the room and placed it on the table, then took the bandage roll from her pocket and set it aside. What now? Carré, is there anything else you need? ”
"I'll do it myself." Carré wrung the towel from the basin and turned to wipe the wound on his abdomen.
"Don't you really need to help?" Avena asked, still worried. The eyes of the plea turned to Thea. "Thea, aren't you a priest? Think it's okay too? ”
"Hmm. It's not a big problem, just don't have any strenuous activities to affect the wound in a short period of time. "Chiare's back. and Carre tacitly concealed the true condition of the wound.
Wounds caused by dark spells are not a big problem in themselves. The problem is a dark curse spell attached to the wound. These curses are not so easy to deal with. At the very least, Thea's Holy Light healing can't lift these negative curses.
But for passers-by and for the humanoid blue dragon who was clearly wary of her. Sia didn't think she needed to worry about what she couldn't do.
"I think Carré should need a good rest after healing his wounds. Anvina. Let's go. ”
"Oh...... Good. Avena thinks Thea's suggestion is right. She also felt that staying here might prevent Carré from resting. After thinking about it, she added, "That...... If there's anything you need, you're welcome. You can find me or my mom and dad. ”
"Okay." Anvina's concern made Carré turn her head and respond with a soft gaze.
In all this, Xia couldn't help but feel that the blue dragon of Carré seemed to be different from ordinary dragons and was very friendly to humans. But, forget it, what does it have to do with her? It's just strangers living under the same roof for one night.
Anvina's room is not large, and the furniture inside is extremely simple. Thea looked around, and her eyes fell on Anvina, who was hurrying to make her bed with her back to her.
"Anvina."
"What's the matter?" Anvena hurriedly turned back and smiled at her. "It's a little small, you don't mind."
"It's not." Thea smiled, in terms of size and comfort, what place could compare to her old bedroom. However, now she is a luxury even if she only wants a place among the human race. "I'm just curious why your family isn't scared of me at all? I...... Not a living person after all. ”
"Alas...... Huh? Anwena paused in some surprise, but quickly turned around and continued to concentrate on her movements. She frowned and pouted, "Mom and Dad didn't say that those who are different from us are bad people...... It's just a difference in life forms. I don't think you're a bad person! ”
"Huh?" Thea laughed. "Bad people don't say I'm bad people on their faces."
"No, it won't." Anvina affirmed. She turned around and reached out to take Thea's hand, looking at her with a serious expression. "My instincts are accurate, Shia, you're not a bad person. Moreover, didn't you treat Carré as soon as we met, and lent the mechanical bird to us who didn't know each other? ”
Siavina's blue eyes, the girl's eyes were clear and serious, and the warmth of human beings in her hands kept coming, reminding her of many things that she didn't want to think about in her heart. She withdrew her hand with some evasiveness. "It's getting late, I want to rest early."
"Ah, yes. Nahia sleeps on the inner side. ”
"But I'll leave early tomorrow morning, won't that disturb you?" Xia said with some puzzlement.
"It's okay, because I can take you to Steinbrad tomorrow." Anvena smiled, her good eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.
"Huh? Are you taking me? Why? Listening to Avenna's words, Xia was a little surprised.
"Because it takes almost half a day to walk the main road. And the path I occasionally found could save nearly half the time! ”
"Thank you, Anvina. But we'll talk about that tomorrow. Xia couldn't bear to refuse Avena's kindness, so she could only shirk tomorrow. She hopes that tomorrow Avena's parents will stop their daughter from accompanying a strange forsaken on an adventure. After so many adventures, Sia even began to doubt that she was with her...... It's not a good thing either. (To be continued)
