Chapter 26: The Unsuccessful Slime

The smell of wine wafted through the woods, and many insects sought the smell of wine to a clearing, but were soon chased away by other smells.

Charles was sitting around the campfire teaching Diana to burn all kinds of flowers and plants to ward off mosquitoes, and a faint steam came from a jar on the campfire, and the smell of wine in the forest came from here.

After taking the IOU from the man in the suit, Charles and Diana found a place to rest some distance from the trail and began to discuss their next steps.

Today, they encountered two wolves, which forced them both to reassess their situation.

Neither of them is the kind of person who makes a plan and then goes all the way to the dark, and it is basic for them to change the plan realistically according to the situation.

Diana said to Charles, "There is a recent rut on that road, and I suggest we wait here for a day, during which time we will go and ask for help if a convoy of dwarves passes by." If no convoy passes by tomorrow afternoon, then we will go to the shore of the lake in the evening and ask for help from the passing boats. ”

Charles silently calculated the time in his heart and agreed to Diana's suggestion, "I guess that by a little later today, Elizabeth and the people of Avalon City have already discovered that we are here, and perhaps now they have realized the problem and started to send people to search this side." Let's be on the safe side, and we should be able to meet them tomorrow. ”

Unbeknownst to Charles, Avalon had already begun inspecting the boats on the lake last night. When the boat on which they were being held was discovered, Elizabeth, who knew what equipment Charles was wearing, judged that they had escaped on their own.

It's just that Elizabeth didn't expect Charles to run away with hurricanes under the water, and after the city guards took a boat around the nearby shore and didn't find the two of them, she judged that Charles and they were rescued by passing boats.

So now the people of the city defense army are running to the vicinity of the forging holy place in the east of the lake in a boat, and ask if any boat saved the two children who fell into the water last night.

After agreeing on the next action, Charles simply took out a jar of bad wine as a last reserve.

It's just that the two of them are still only eight years old, and they belong to a glass and pour it, and sleeping drunk in the woods is no different from committing suicide.

So they simply lit a bonfire, heated the bad liquor and let the alcohol evaporate, and then let the water cool before drinking.

After eating a little of the reserved bacon and drinking some water, Charles made up for sleep, and Diana pinned the two daggers to her waist and sat down to let off steam.

Within two minutes of closing his eyes, Charles's eyes opened.

"Watch out for that guy. Charles pointed to a pile of bushes where smoke was also coming from the other side.

"Well, I'll wake you up for something. Diana, who was sitting next to him, nodded, then smeared Charles' mask with her palm and made a motion that covered his eyelids.

Charles slapped her hand away, and then reassured sleep.

While Charles was asleep, Diana pulled out a small piece of charcoal from the campfire......

When Charles woke up, the sun had just set in the west, and there was still a little bit of sunset hanging in the sky.

"Are you awake?"

As soon as Charles opened his eyes, he saw Diana's smiling face.

"Ah...... It's good luck to wake up and see beautiful women. Charles sat up and stretched.

"Lord Earl, do you still lack a maid or something?"

"One day you come to my house, I will introduce Aunt Pomegranate to you. ”

Charles smelled the smell of roasted meat, and then he saw several strings of unidentified objects stuck around the campfire.

"What's that?" Charles asked curiously.

"There was a snake just now. Diana replied, "That snake is stupid." ”

"You're amazing!" Charles estimated that the snake was about the thickness of his own arm and more than a meter long, which was not an easy guy to deal with.

"How did you do that?" asked Charles.

"Women are beautiful because of their secrets. Diana replied with a formulaic smile.

Charles took a skewer of roasted snake meat, and instead of asking what the secret was, he asked another question: "Is Conan done over there?"

β€œ......”

There are a lot of bones in snake meat, which is a bit troublesome to eat, and you have to spit out those fine bones when you eat it.

"The manga of "The Last Girl's Journey" is over. Diana referred to the figure in the suit man's wallet today, "You guys have that over there, too?"

"Yes. Charles nodded, "Judging from the yen that person took out and the card in his wallet, he should have been similar to me when he came, probably after July 2017 and before the new one came out in January 2018." ”

"I'll have to ask him later if he's from your side or from mine. Diana said as she ate the roast snake meat, "I always feel abnormal in this world, and at least one of the people who come is you or my fellow countryman." ”

"Do you have any clue about that person?" Charles asked.

"That great sage is the most suspicious. "There's a very strange flavor to his story." ”

"To tell you the truth, he is the ancestor of my side. Charles's words made Diana look sideways, "I also feel that there seems to be something hidden behind his story." ”

Diana nodded, "I always feel like I can go home after figuring this out." ”

"That's a good feeling. Charles nodded, "I want to meet your eldest and youngest sisters too." ”

"Get out!" (Λ‰Ξ΅Λ‰δΉ€)

"By the way, I haven't even read the IOU written by that guy today. Diana held out her hand to Charles, "Show me." ”

"Don't be angry. Charles handed over a roll of parchment.

Diana, who took the IOU, wondered why she was angry when she saw it.

⌸٩(ΰΉ‘'^ ́๑): "What is this 'Diana McGarden' all about? What is this person's name...... Hiromitsu Yamada...... I'm going to find him to change it back!"

β”“(β–”_β–”)┏: "He thinks you're my sister or sister." ”

"Hmm...... Not...... Hmmm......"

At this time, Yamada Hakamitsu, who was far away from the campfire, suddenly let out a cry of pain, and then a strong blue light lit up behind the bushes.

Charles was stunned for a moment, then suddenly threw down the dinner in his hand and shouted, "Copy guy, hurry up." ”

Without saying a word, Diana followed Charles and rushed over with a dagger.

Walking through the bushes, the two saw Yamada lying on the ground in pain, his hands trying to rip off the blue slime that had been sticking to his face.

But the blue slime stuck tightly to Yamada's face as if it had used 502 glue, making him unable to breathe.

At the same time, the slime's body emitted a strong light, like an electric light.

"Oh my God, that legend is true!" said Charles's voice with a hint of trembling.

"What legend?" Diana also became nervous when she saw Charles like this.

"Slimes evolve after devouring other people's abilities!" Charles roared, "let's stab it to death together." ”

Charles and Diana didn't care about any things like evolution and not being able to disturb during the transformation, and the two of them hurriedly rushed over and stabbed the slime with daggers left and right.

This slime's skin is very tough, unlike other slimes, it can be broken with a single stab, and the two daggers that stab at each other from both sides can only be stabbed less than half a centimeter into it.

But that's enough, and after the two daggers ran out of magic today, Charles smeared them with poison.

The sudden stabbing and the toxins that entered the body disrupted the slime's devouring evolution in an instant, and after a few seconds, it exploded like a balloon filled with too much water.

Charles and Diana are splashed with the liquid inside the slime.

Yamada Hakamitsu finally pulled out the slime that almost suffocated him, and when he was lying on the ground sleeping just now, he was suddenly covered by this slime, almost suffocating him to death.

Yamada looked up after recovering from his breath, only to find that the two children who had killed his two pets during the day today were on guard back to back with weapons in hand.

After a while, a group of men with various weapons came out of the area.
