【Mirror Lake】

Mirror Lake Grasse is a large lake a hundred kilometers north-northwest of Viren City, surrounded by the Nora Mountains, and has always been a drinking place for demonic beasts. The monsters here are frequent, so it is not suitable for habitation, but it is a suitable place for hunting and trials.

Not far from the shores of Mirror Lake, above a hill, there is a hidden cave. This cave could be an abandoned lair left behind by some wild beast, or it could be a naturally occurring hollow. At this time, there was a man lying naked in the cave, with only a banana leaf covering at the key point.

Rein woke up from his trance, feeling comfortable, but his back was a little chilly. He got up, and something slipped to the side as he got up.

He fixed his eyes on it, and it was a plantain leaf.

Then he saw his own slightly thicker thighs next to the banana leaves, and then he saw his own unsheltered little elephant.

"Ahhhh

Rayne screamed and quickly grabbed the plantain leaf and placed it in front of him.

What the heck?! Why am I wearing nothing?!

"Don't scream, it's not like I haven't seen it." A voice came from the mouth of the cave, it was Doroth. She had woken up, and sat at the entrance of the cave with a bad look on her face.

"You, you...... What are you doing? Where's my clothes?! Rein asked with a red face, clutching his baby tightly.

Doroth said, "It's drying." The guy said you can't sleep in wet clothes, you're going to get sick, so I took it off for you. But don't worry, I haven't touched your smooth muscles, and I haven't seen anything of your baby elephant. ”

"You, you, you, you still say! Didn't you see everything?! ”

Rein blamed Doroth in great embarrassment, blushing as much as a tomato.

Doroth said: "Okay, okay, you don't have to thank you, this is what I should do if you saved me." ”

"I'm not thanking you!"

Rein is about to be angry with this shameless bad woman, but he can't move in his current state.

"You ......" Rein suddenly remembered that she had just mentioned "that guy", who was that guy?

Rein asked, "Who are you referring to when you just said that guy?" Is your companion coming? ”

Doroth repaired his nails with his wand and said, "No, it's your partner. I didn't expect you to know such a thing. ”

"Mine? Stuff? Rein had a question mark on his face, "What are you talking about?" ”

At this moment, a huge figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, startling Rein, and when he saw its faint outline, he felt a little familiar again.

"You're awake, Rein."

A familiar voice came.

"It's you?! Kerryne?! ”

It wasn't a human, but the Phantom Beast Kslain that Rein first met in the Black Forest Rift.

"Why are you here?" Rein said in surprise and delight to Klein, who was slowly walking into the cave.

Kerryn came to him, revealing its true form.

When Rein saw him in the Great Rift, he was covered in dirt, tangled fur, and had no image. It has not been seen for a few days, and now it has undergone a drastic change, and its white fur is no longer dirty, but as pure and white as snow; Its eyes are radiant, revealing the spirituality and wisdom of a phantom beast. Its four paws resemble that of a noble giant wolf, and at this time it exudes supreme glory and elegance.

Kerryn is a phantom beast, and it looks too dreamy.

"I've been looking for a place to recuperate since I came out of the Great Rift Valley, and I've stayed here for a while because of a lot of hidden places around the lake," Kerslane said. ”

"That day I was in the mountains when I saw something fall by the lake, and I vaguely smelled you. I came to the lake and found out that it was really you, so I drove away the monsters that tried to get close to you and brought you here. ”

So if it weren't for Kslain, Rein and Doroth would have been buried in the belly of the monster.

Doroth was still there trimming his nails, looked at it repeatedly, and said, "Alas, I never thought that I would be saved by a little kid in my lifetime, and then by a phantom beast, if I want to tell this, where should my witch's face go?" ”

Rein said angrily: "You and I are okay, you didn't let Paladin's evil woman kill me, and the two of us were even." Although I said that I was arrested by you to do this......"

Doroth said, "Don't be naïve, as long as the Temple of Light knows that you are our Holy Son, you will not be able to hide anywhere." ”

"If you don't say it, who will think that I am your son of the hell?! I'm not killed by you! Rein said angrily.

Doros did not get angry with him, and said, "Whether you are our Son or not is not determined by us, but by your very nature. Even if not to revive our Church, even to prove your identity, you should ask me to take you to the Church. ”

Rein said, "Yo Ho, now it's time for me to 'please' you take me?" Do you have any reason to arrest people now? ”

When Doroth finished repairing one hand, he switched to repair the other, and said, "It's up to you to go or not, go back to the city of Veron, and see if Paladina will split you in half with a sword?" ”

Rein couldn't help but shudder at Paladin's face that was marked but as serious and cold as a poker, and her decisive means of killing without saying a word, that he was a terrifying existence that he might not have the strength to fight now, or even in the future. His way back is not feasible for the time being.

But why is the Temple of Light like this, if it is innocent? If he is not a holy son, just because he has a dark attribute magic qualification in his body, do you want to wipe himself out with a sword? That's too unreasonable, isn't it? Rhine's perception of the Temple of Light was skeptical of the Light Temple, and if the organization that represented Light and Justice was such a religion that would wipe people out indiscriminately, it was no better than the Dark Church.

The phantom beast Kslane said: "Rein, I also sense the existence of dark power in your body, but the light of your own soul is not tainted by this darkness, you will save me when you are not safe, I don't think you are evil." Whether a person is good or evil should be judged by his deeds and soul, and nothing else, right? ”

Rein nodded.

Doros put down the magic wand in his hand, looked at Kslain in surprise, and said, "Yo, I really didn't know that the phantom beast would have such a deep thought. ”

"We are no less intelligent than you humans, and even because we have survived longer, we will only see more than you have ever seen," said Kslane. ”

Rhine asked curiously, "How long can the Kslane Phantom Beast survive?" Also How old are you? ”

"There is no end to the lifespan of phantom beasts, and phantom beasts will only die because their magic is exhausted or they are seriously injured, and they will never die because of old age. Do you ask me how old I am? I'm three hundred and ten years old. ”

Are you immortal? It's incredible, Rein said secretly in his heart.

Doros's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Then if you drink your blood, will you be able to stay young forever?" ”

"Someone has tried this before, but the human body can't bear our blood, and doing so will lead you to your death," said Kerryne. ”

"Oh?" Doroth's large, sly eyes squinted at Kslane, and Rein knew she must have had some bad idea again.

"Don't you want to do anything bad to Kerryne, Doroth, or ......"

"How else? Have you ever beaten me? A child of Rein without clothes? Doros said defiantly as he glanced at Rein's banana leaf.

"Ahhh!!h Rein then remembered that he was still naked, and he blushed and said to Kerryne, "Klein, can you help me bring my clothes?" ”

"Absolutely." "But why do you want to wear clothes? Wouldn't it be nice to be like us? ”

Rein said, "I don't have hair like you!" ”

Doros smiled evilly and said, "That's right, you only have a small handful of hair, small, big, elephant~"

"Ahhhh Shut up, you bad woman! Rein grabbed the stone from the ground and threw it at Doroth, who laughed and disappeared into the hole.

Kerryn brought clothes to Rein. The clothes weren't dry, but they weren't dry, and Rein didn't want to be naked anymore with the bad woman Doros.

While Rein was getting dressed, Kslain looked out of the cave and said, "Doroth, this witch has great magical powers, you can learn from her." ”

Rein said as he got dressed, "Do you want to learn the dark arts from her?" I don't want it, it's going to be bad, and I'm probably going to be hunted down by the knights of the Temple of Light, it's terrible. ”

"Dark magic is just one type of magic, and it's only the misuse of you humans that has fulfilled its notoriety. ”

"Don't you think that black magic is not a bad thing?" ”

"I've never thought so," said Kerryne, "that any powerful magic is black magic if it is used by evil people. ”

Rein nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Then do you say that Doroth is a bad witch?" ”

"She didn't let me see her evil side, so I don't think she's a bad person for a while," Kerryne said. ”

Doroth's voice floated from far away from outside the cave: "Thank you for looking up to me so much, a bad woman~"

Rein sighed, I don't know how this guy overheard this talk, maybe she has more sensitive ears.

"You and Doroth's mana are both exhausted, and it will take too long for the mana to slowly recover, so I'll take you to pick the red spirit fruit." ”

"Red Spirit Fruit?"

"A plant that grows in a place rich in magic, and their fruit speeds up the recovery of the body's magic."

Kerryn slowly walked out of the cave, and Rein followed.
