Chaohu Lake is vast, the sky and water are the same color, not to mention the scenery during the day, the lake surface at night is sparkling, reflecting the stars and the moon.

It's a pity that Han Lingsha is uncertain today, her mind is full of other things, and she doesn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery, Yuntianhe is a wild man on the top of the mountain, and she doesn't know all the words, so naturally she doesn't have that kind of taste.

According to the former, it is the level of "this person is not separated from the boar for three sentences, and there is no help".

The reeds on the edge of the lake stretch in large areas, generally more than a foot high, and the cool breeze blows from the surface of the lake at night, and suddenly there are thousands of heads, and there are regular waves. In the depths of the reeds, there is a dazzling fire.

There is a large flat open space cleared out, a handsome young man wearing animal skin clothes and a rough hairstyle like a bird's nest, and a neat and energetic outfit walking the rivers and lakes, the heroic girl in red is eating dry food around the bonfire, discussing something, the scene is warm and harmonious.

"This dry food is not delicious at all, it is dry and hard...... "I like fragrant barbecue the most, and the mountaintop savage who dreams of eating all kinds of different game is not very satisfied, and looks at the dry food in his hand and frowns.

Did all the people under the mountain eat such things?

No wonder it doesn't grow sturdy at all.

"Don't be so picky, if it weren't for your father offending the people of Taiping Village, and you are such a living treasure, how could we eat dry food in the wild tonight......" Han Lingsha glanced at him.

"It's obvious that they are not good, they ask for that money at once, and they talk nonsense, and they don't think clearly about whether they kill birds or not, and my father must not be able to stand them, so he lives in the mountains."

Yun Tianhe shook his head and said, without any awareness of who it was.

This man didn't reflect at all!

The girl in red took a bite of the dry food fiercely: "Stupid and stupid!" Why do people give you things for nothing, the mountain is different from the mountain, whether it is food or use, you have to exchange money for ...... if you want."

"What exactly is money? Can't you take it if you don't have money? The mountaintop savage looked confused, this was an area he had never touched.

"Money is ...... It is...... Oops, it's annoying! Anyway, you don't understand! Remember, if someone tells you that it's for sale, you'll have to get it for it! I don't have the money to ask me, but I won't help you if there are too many. ”

The girl wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to explain it for a while, and suddenly stared at the troublesome wild man with some annoyance.

"If you don't have money, you must not take other people's things indiscriminately, this time it can be regarded as lucky, in case you are in the city to eat and drink for nothing and you meet an official errand, catch you to the yamen and lock you up, see what you do!"

"What is a jackal? What is a dental door? Will they be able to beat me? Yun Tianhe scratched his messy short hair a little puzzled, feeling that he had encountered too many strange new concepts today, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

"Don't always think about being harder than anyone's fists, if you are against the government, you alone will not be enough for a few lives."

Han Lingsha replied with a headache, reprimanding this troublesome guy angrily, she suddenly felt that the future was a little bleak, and on the first day of going down the mountain together, she felt exhausted.

I always feel that if I continue like this, I may really have to usher in my fate in advance - but it's not that there is any retribution, but that I am angry to death by the guy in front of me......

"Alone? Isn't there still you? Add two lives together. Yun Tianhe smirked happily and corrected Han Lingsha's statement.

“……”

“……”

"You...... You don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with you, why do I help you......" The girl in red was stunned for a long time before she reacted, her face turned red rarely, and she stammered a little.

"Lingsha, why are you blushing?"

"It's firelight!" The girl snapped, glaring at him hard.

"Oh." Yun Tianhe subconsciously shrunk his neck, and didn't suspect anything, thinking that it might be like this, after all, how could people blush for no reason? I think it must have been from the fire.

……

……

On the other side of the reeds, the blonde-haired and blue-eyed girl swordsman relied on the latent talisman worn on his body to gather all his aura, as if he was one with his surroundings and could not be noticed.

She didn't make a fire, but she carried a strange hand-held lantern in her hand, and the soft light that emitted illuminated the reeds in a small area around her, a gift from the Master years ago, well, the head maid also had one-

In Artoria's eyes, the so-called lantern is actually very easy to understand, like a lantern-like cage-shaped lamp, even in the classical oriental style that is unique to this world.

And because it comes from the master's hand, it is naturally not a simple lamp, but a magic lantern with all kinds of magical effects.

Needless to say, the most basic lighting function is not to mention, as long as the user injects a small amount of special energy, the soft candlelight can be directly lit inside the lantern, illuminating the surrounding boundary within a radius of several feet. In addition, if the user wants to, the candlelight can only be seen by the person carrying the lantern.

Others will not be able to see the light unless they are in physical contact with the user.

Artoria is now using such a function, observing the boys and girls over there from a short distance.

Of course, if that's all there is, it's a bit bizarre at best, and it's nothing. So actually, this lantern has a lot of strange functions.

For example, it allows the wielder to track the destination of the target within the range of the candlelight with a pre-locked breath; It is also able to make ghosts appear directly through candlelight...... And so on and so forth.

And one of the most important effects is that when the lantern is activated through specific rituals and methods, it can help the bearer to channel through the yin and pass through the gaps in space, from the yang to the underworld.

It is a very powerful auxiliary prop, and the reason why it is so powerful is that Xia Ran's weapon-making skills are superb, and he has integrated the advantages of manufacturing skills such as alchemy, enchantment, spirit infusion, etc.

The second is because...... The lantern itself is a living thing, essentially a kind of ghost unique to this world, called "False Moon".

It is said that ghosts are used as guiding lights between humans and ghosts, and on the seventh day after the death of humans, a false moon will appear, guiding spirits to leave the body and enter the ghost world; Otherwise, the soul will wander forever in the world, becoming a lonely ghost and unable to transcend.

It is also said that whenever the ghost gate is opened, the ghosts will also return to the world through the guidance of the false moon and enjoy the offerings of their families...... Even because the false moon usually appears in the cemetery, some people will see a miserable green light when their spiritual vision is higher, so it is also called "ghost fire".

According to these legends, it must be able to directly see that although it is not strong, it has very good characteristics and abilities.

Xia Ran happened to meet a group of people a few years ago, so he arrested them all, refined the spirits, pasted spells, and used them as lanterns.

Anyway, for this strange ghost, they were originally lanterns used by ghosts.

And Xia Ran just turned them into the same tools that living people can see, touch, and use, and basically nothing else has changed, they were lanterns before, and they are still lanterns now.

Artoria lifted the lantern in her hand, maintained such a posture, and quietly watched the two people in the firelight on the other side, although she was very patient, but at the moment she couldn't help but complain:

"That girl is very good, but it's a pity that the boy is too dull and looks a little ignorant......"

“……”

“……”

“Master？ Are you listening? Nothing, right? As he heard no answer, there was only silence in the mental network, and Saber subconsciously tilted his head, and then heard a familiar voice sound in his consciousness.

"Oh, this...... I'm listening, but I just encountered something that was a little shocking, so I didn't respond to you......" Xia Ran's tone was a little strange.

"What happened?" Artoria was slightly stunned, even her own Master would be shocked, could it be that something had happened, she subconsciously cared.

"It's just that my maid just told me a bad joke, so I couldn't react for a while, and I was a little shocked......" Xia Ran snorted and replied with a dry smile, in a sense, he was very honest.

"Charlotte? Telling bad jokes? ”

Saber was also stunned, and her expression became strange, if that was the case, she would be able to understand her master at once.

Maybe it's really the reason why it's fundamentally different from Alice Phil, Charlotte has been cold for so many years, and she hasn't seen any feelings, even if she has always been loyal to her duties, and she feels more and more like an all-round maid.

And Xia Ran's original intention of creating her at the beginning was originally arranged otherwise-

It's just that I met two lost people who are very talkative, and I have to make friends, so I replaced the original maid manager's arrangement, and the two twins can pay attention to the movements of the two protagonists or even the three protagonists at the same time in Shouyang City.

So the head maid has been staying by Master's side, and after such a long time, maybe she really has an emotional function, but her character has always been cold, and it is difficult for others to determine?

Artoria thought subconsciously, feeling that she seemed to have found a reasonable explanation, but she couldn't make up the situation that the head maid would take the initiative to tell a bad joke.

"Yes, yes, but don't talk about this, you pay attention to the pair of happy enemies......" Xia Ran sneered again, and changed the topic without a trace, "The two of them are like this, one is arrogant, the other is sluggish......"

"Like you and Miss Snow?" Saber blinked, remembering the portrait drawn by the other party a few days ago, and didn't know what psychology it was, so he subconsciously asked.

"It's not."

The young man on the other side lightly denied it.

"Yun Tianhe is really stupid, I am pretending to be stupid, why do you think I am as dull as him?"

“……”

“……”

How did you manage to be so proud? Artoria silently closed the channel to speak.
