"Gentle? It's the first time I've been said that. ”

Estes didn't care much about bringing these words, gentleness was something unnecessary for her, "For most people who are not familiar with me, they should think so, probably because my image on the battlefield is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." ”

"But don't look at me like this, when I was in the army, I was very easy to get along with my subordinates, as long as I drank and ate meat with them, they would quickly accept me."

Estes puffed up his chest and said as if proudly: "Moreover, I can get along well with the residents of the imperial capital, everyone often invites me to eat snacks for free, and I am very approachable in normal times." ”

That's right, when getting along with the hunters, Estes doesn't have a good attitude at all, and he will drink it boldly when he advises her to drink.

"Because subordinates and residents are valuable assets?"

After thinking about it, Ryusha tried to substitute herself into Estes's mind and made such a guess.

"You know, that's probably what I thought."

Estes gave him a surprised look and nodded in acknowledgment, "I love war, the thrill of war, the pleasure of ravage, and the screams of the enemy during torture, but I won't do anything to my subordinates and ordinary people, because they are all precious treasures." ”

"If they're gone, there's no one to bring me war."

Her subordinates and inhabitants are the riches that can bring her war.

This woman's ideas are really simple but thorough, easy to understand but stubborn, and her deep-rooted ideas are probably not able to be forcibly changed.

"But why would such a captain suddenly want to fall in love?"

Ryuxia pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and asked, as if puzzled, "To be honest, I think the hobby of love is very different from the hobbies of war and torture before the captain. ”

"You really like to dig deeper, but it's also a good opportunity to deepen your understanding."

After thinking about it, Estes covered his chest very naturally, and a wistful smile appeared on his face, "If you want to say a reason, it seems that there is no reason, it is about a little throbbing in the bottom of my heart...... Well, it always feels like an indescribable experience, which feels really good. ”

Only at this time did the expression on her face really look like a woman.

"But—"

Estes glanced at him with a very faint gaze, "I'll say ugly things first, you're not playing, you're too boring, you don't have guts, your body looks very weak, and most importantly, your smile is too worldly, not pure at all, you and the Sailiu group are a good pair, I think she has a good impression of you." ”

“…… Captain, I don't have that intention either. ”

Lu Xia's figure stagnated slightly, and then replied a little speechlessly: "If I fall in love with you, I will feel very lucky." ”

"That's good."

Estes got up from the stake, patted off the sawdust on his buttocks, and said to Ryuxia by the way: "Let's look for more prey, and after we have identified the location and orientation here, we will go back to the imperial capital through the flying dragon, and we need to store more food before that." ”

As she spoke, she walked deeper into the forest.

Ryusha followed, silently thinking in her heart.

Estes is almost flawless, and it is impossible to find her weaknesses to achieve a one-hit kill.

…………

Under the continuous hunting, the day passed quickly.

When night came, a crescent moon hung above the canopy of heaven at some point, and the stars around it flickered endlessly, disappearing and reappearing from time to time.

Ryusha stood on the edge of the beach, tilting her head and looking at the twinkling stars in the sky.

"What are you doing?"

Estes dragged a tiger-type dangerous species from the forest, threw it in front of the wyvern, and let it eat its hair, and then saw Ryuxia standing in the night, not knowing what he was doing.

"Look at the stars." Ryusha replied.

"Is this a unique interest for people like you who like to read?"

Estes came to Ryuxia's side and looked up at the sky as well, trying to find pleasure in it, but she couldn't understand the joy of the act and quickly gave up.

"No, I'm just making the bearings." Ryusha shook her head and replied.

"Oh? Do you still know about astrology? Estes asked with interest.

"Just a little." Ryusha said modestly.

In fact, the identification of the stars is a compulsory course for every orthodox magician, even if it is not a professional astrologer, in order to determine the best time and environment to perform magic, it is necessary to learn to distinguish the direction, season, leylines, etc.

"When I teleported over, it was about early morning, and it was noon here, which means that the two space nodes are in the eastern and western hemispheres, and the emperor is in the autumn and winter, but it is close to midsummer, in other words, there is probably a difference between the northern and southern hemispheres, considering the distance, it is best to fly in the northeast direction......"

After thinking silently, Lu Xia turned his head and pointed in a direction, "It should be that direction, the error should not be too big." ”

"Oh, that's about the same as I am."

Estes glanced at him appreciatively, "I didn't expect you to have this ability, I was impressed by you, Liangyi." ”

"And then? How long do you think it will take us to get back to the Imperial Capital? ”

"It's hard to say."

Lu Xia hesitated, "Considering the error in bearing, as well as the speed of the flying dragon, and the supply of food, etc., it is conservatively estimated that it will take at least ten days." ”

There is no need to think about the foothold, with Estes's ability, he can easily create a rock of ice on the sea surface as a foothold, so that the wyvern can rest for a while before setting off again.

But even so, it is even more difficult to return to the imperial capital like this, and there are still problems to consider food consumption, fresh water supply, and so on.

Estes thought for a moment, "Ten days, you're better than me in this regard, I can't even calculate the approximate time—"

"——!"

As soon as she was about to continue speaking, a purple light suddenly shone on the beach not far away, turning into a pillar of light in the night and rising into the sky, and it was difficult not to attract attention.

"That's ...... Teleportation array? ”

The two glanced at each other, and they all showed surprised looks.

"I don't know why it suddenly opened, but it's always a good idea to try."

Estes made such a decision, and then took the reins of the wyvern, pulled it into the teleportation array, and pulled it out again, and the wyvern was still intact.

"Looks like it's okay, let's go inside."

"Yes, Captain."

The two walked into the teleportation array one after the other.
