"Who's that guy?"

The little wizard standing outside the door looked at the stranger who had followed Loren with a suspicious expression, the corners of his mouth pursed, and his blue eyes showed a little vigilance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the other party was wearing a very tight smock and cloak, the throwing spear behind his back and the spear in his hand were also dressed like a mercenary, and even his entire face was wrapped, revealing only a pair of emerald eyes.

But Ain Rand's intuition told her that she was a woman, and that she was beautiful.

"A messenger from the elven settlement of the Ancient Wood Forest, Miss Leah. Loren bowed slightly, and explained carefully to the little wizard, "And she is also a war dancer, according to her, the master hunter among the elves. ”

"Elf ......" The little wizard's eyes widened and he couldn't help but sigh, but then he looked at Loren very vigilantly: "Since it's an envoy, why did it appear in your room?"

"Because it's a secret and can't be discovered by outsiders. Speaking of this, Loren couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth: "Of course, there are other reasons, but the explanation is too complicated." ”

To put it simply, Miss Leah, the honorable war dancer, didn't believe that this wizard would keep his promise.

Although an agreement was reached to cooperate, if he came to the Deep Forest Fort with dozens of elves, it would definitely arouse unnecessary suspicion, and it would be 100% discovered by the people of the Senna family.

So Loren placed them in a deserted farmstead, which was under the control of the Deepwood, less than a quarter of an hour away.

However, the elf did not believe the black-haired wizard and took the initiative to demand that Loren be monitored to ensure that he would not go back on his word or use the agreement to his advantage.

Lukka didn't think it was necessary, but an extra insurance policy was always good - so Loren had an additional "mercenary attendant" behind him, and that attendant had taken over his bedroom, looking around like a curious squirrel.

"I'm probably going to be very busy during this time, so I'll leave Miss Leah and the hat to you. Patting the little wizard on the shoulder, Loren said solemnly, "Don't let others find her." ”

"Why is it like something is going to happen? ”

Although complaining, Ain still nodded: "Just rest assured, leave it to me, no one will find out." ”

Of course, Loren had selfish intentions in making this arrangement - according to Luca, Leah was the second "war dancer" after him in their group, and although she looked young, she had actually participated in many battles with ogres, and killed no less than twenty of them with her own hands!

Loren had fought with ogres in the past, and he also knew something about the strength of this monster. If Luca's words are true, then Loren can rest assured that the little wizard and Ain will be entrusted to her protection.

"Is that also a wizard your friend?"

After sending away the suspicious little wizard, Lia, who was still looking around, couldn't help but ask, "You seem to care about him, although in a strange way." ”

"Ain Rand is one of the few friends I have, so you're right. ”

Loren had a formulaic smile on his face: "As a friend, of course, I have to take into account the feelings and self-esteem of the other party, so some words cannot be said directly, so I have to ...... a little To put it mildly. ”

"Also, I know you're here to spy on me. But if something happens, I hope Miss Leah will protect my friend—it's not in agreement, but I beg your help. ”

"Yes. ”

"Huh?" Loren was stunned for a moment, he had originally planned to find a way to convince the female elf, but the other party agreed without even thinking about it.

"Since you value this friend so much, even if I don't agree, you will definitely find a way to get me to agree. The elf said as a matter of course.

"How do you know?"

"Of course. Leah stood up proudly: "I've watched you very closely. ”

"When you were in our camp, you pretended to be full of confidence, but you didn't know anything at all. In a very flat tone, Leah said, "You seem to be very good at persuading people. ”

“...... Who told you that?"

"Nobody, I found it myself. The elf replied casually, but her flickering eyes revealed a hint of pride.

"What's more, since this wizard named Ain is so important to you, then as long as I keep an eye on him, you won't dare to do anything wrong—am I right?"

Is it because the women in this world are so sensitive, or is it because I actually underestimate women?

"So...... That's why you insist on spying on me?" a somewhat depressed Loren shrugged his shoulders: "Because you're worried I'll take advantage of you?"

"Not exactly. The elf shook her head, "I'm very curious about you humans. To be honest, the first time I saw you look like this, I almost laughed out loud. ”

“......”

"And there's your food, it's really weird. You have to roast the wheat like a stone to eat it, and you have to add something inexplicable when the fresh vegetables are good, as if you don't do that, it's hard to swallow. ”

For a moment, Loren thought the elf was joking with her. But her expression told Loren that the other party was very serious.

Indeed, compared to the elf's slender physique, even his own looks very burly......; Loren can only say that the two sides are somewhat different, and they cannot be compared by one standard at all.

To explain, the elves look much younger than their actual age, and because of their different races, they all look similar in the eyes of humans, and vice versa.

"If you have such a bad impression of humans, why do you have to come along?" Loren asked rhetorically, "Wouldn't it be better to stay with your companions? ”

"I told you, I'm curious. As she spoke, Lia didn't forget to look around Loren's room, and found a random book to look through: "Your castle, your village, and your history...... All of this, I'm curious. ”

The emerald-like eyes of the female elf shimmered strangely, like a dragon that had seen a treasure, and even the fireplace did not forget to look through it.

"I think let's start with a more practical question. ”

Just before the elf could set her eyes on the black-feathered eagle in the window, Loren coughed quickly. A little unhappy, Liya turned her head: "What's the problem?"

"Where are you sleeping tonight?"

Looking around, Loren sadly discovered the fact that his room was pitifully small, and there was no room for it except for a bed, a table, and a small fireplace.

This means that if one person sleeps in the bed, the other has to sleep on the table.

"I'm a guest, so of course I should be in bed!" replied the elf as a matter of course, "You're a man, can't you hold on?"

"First of all, you're an uninvited guest. With a formulaic smile, Loren couldn't help but reply, "Secondly, I may hold out for more than one night!"

"More importantly, if someone comes in, how do I explain to them that I suddenly have a woman in my bed?"

"Isn't this normal? I've heard that you noble lords of the human race are like that. The elf asked rhetorically.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not a nobleman, I'm just a wizard. Loren smiled and explained, "And no one has seen you enter the castle before, so if you are discovered, it will probably cause some unnecessary vigilance." ”

"And what do you have a good idea?"

"I've heard that elves can sleep in trees. Loren said tentatively, looking out the window with his hands behind his back: "It just so happens that there is a tree in the castle, it is better to ......"

A minute later, Loren, who was standing in the hallway, glanced at the locked door behind him, as well as the blanket on his body, and sighed deeply.

"Anyway, nothing will happen tonight, just relax. Talking to himself, he took out the mead that Lukka had given him from behind him, and Loren bit off the cork. The sweet fragrance penetrates the nostrils.

"No way, who made me a good person!"
