"You're welcome."

As the girl reached for the apple, the girl immediately raised her hand. "Wait, answer my question first."

"Isn't that what I should have asked you?"

"You know, because of who I am. And they revere our people no less than their gods. So I was also well received. She turned her head and looked at the elven royal family behind her. And they recognized me at a glance. ”

"Yes, Princess Feng Yanxin is the god clan of the Heavenly Domain, a descendant of the Moon Emperor of the god clan of the old world." The Elven Lord stepped forward and paid his highest respect to the clouds. "Welcome, Your Highness."

This delicate elf is unlike any other, lowly companion. His majesty was the first time he had seen it in this forest.

Not inferior to the demeanor of the Dragonheart Royal Family.

However, the lord didn't seem to have a high respect for Qi Yun, and he could tell that the lord didn't respect him as much as half of Feng Yan on the side.

Next, the lord retreated from the Elven Throne, leaving behind only the documents of the elven disappearance

"Okay, let's get down to business. Events about the missing prophet. ”

"I'm also investigating this matter, what a coincidence......" Feng Yanxin took a bite of the apple, then closed his eyes and praised excitedly, "It's so sweet~"

"It's a coincidence that we can help the elves together. With a roster as strong as ours, it's easy to find the Prophet. ”

Feng Yanxin opened his eyes, squinted at Qi Yun, and extinguished Qi Yun's enthusiasm with one sentence.

"You've forgotten how you fell in front of the dragon with confidence, have you? Still so blindly confident...... Well? ”

Qi Yun pressed his index finger against his mouth, frowned, and looked at Feng Yanxin with resentment.

He turned his head and looked at Xiuwen. And the latter seemed to be well silent from the beginning. It's strange that this is not the attitude she should have.

"I did my full research in two days. And after the disappearance of the prophet, I got a breakthrough clue. I'm already confident. And you, except that you may witness me complete the task alone, will not be of any help. ”

Qi Yun felt that this sentence was extremely harsh.

When he looked at Feng Yanxin's serious and serious expression, he subconsciously suppressed his desire to refute.

Follow her.

"Okay, then I'll witness the exploits of Her Royal Highness the Princess. That's it. ”

"It's a deal."

……

The forests of the south are full of unknowns in this rainy season. The sudden downpour disrupted everyone's plans. The elven team that searched for clues had to give up the search and return to the village.

Qi Yun and Feng Yanxin stood under the wooden house, looking at the rain curtain outside the house. And under that dark cloud, the atmosphere seemed to be a little too oppressive.

"Na~" Feng Yanxin handed Yun an apple again. "It's really for you this time, it's almost noon, let's eat something."

"No, you don't." Without turning his head, he stretched out his hand to the rain curtain outside.

Feng Yanxin also stretched out his hand, but he trembled.

"I'm saying it to them, and I didn't mean to target you."

"So what?" Recalling Feng Yanxin's words, Qi Yun became more and more unhappy. It was too easy for him to see what Feng Yan was thinking, and the latter would not hide his emotions. Although there is a guide to the text. "You are absolutely not sure that you will recover those missing elves, and I don't believe that you will not act when you find a breakthrough clue that can be decisively killed by the dragon soul. You're defending that undignified dignity. ”

Feng Yanxin lowered his head.

clueless and useless clues; Two days of overloaded trekking. Despite not showing her tiredness to others, she struggled to hide her emotionality.

Inflicting his unhappiness and incompetence on the person who thinks he owes it, the poor man can only silently obey.

It wasn't what she wanted, and besides, she regretted it.

I regret saying big things and not being able to do anything about it

No one could see the change in expression behind the drooping sideburns. And after a moment of silence, Qi Yun heard Feng Yanxin's sobbing voice. Di Yun turned his head.

Trembling body. She cried.

"Don't stare at me, please."

Qi Yun guessed something, and suddenly blamed himself for his words.

"Tell me, why hold it in your heart."

"I ...... I don't want the elves who worship me to be disappointed, but there's really nothing I can do. They loved me from the bottom of their hearts, but I failed them. And the consequence of my incompetence is that it is likely that the elves will not come back. But all I can do is not to disappoint everyone. ”

He guessed right.

The girl of the Protoss in front of her was full of a sense of responsibility in her heart. But her pride slapped her hard when she struggled to fulfill her responsibilities. And she, who hadn't experienced too many setbacks, was easily crushed.

Qi Yun wanted to really comfort her.

The girl in front of her encountered what she thought was the hardest thing to do. And having only met twice, Di Yun didn't know how to comfort her sincerely and without crossing the line. Although Feng Yanxin has a life-saving grace for her.

Saving...... Okay, that's it.

"Hey, Your Highness Princess, lovely little girl." Qi Yun bent down slightly, lowering his head to a position where he could see Feng Yanxin's eyes. "You remember that you saved me, and I said I owe you. Of course I'll help you. ”

"You don't understand yet. Although we can join forces to defeat monsters, it's hard to have a way to do something like this that is difficult to get into. I've been trying for two days now. ”

"Listen to me, peel the apples and eat them later."

Feng Yanxin raised her head, her hair sticking to her face.

"I'm tired and go to rest, thank you for doing so much for the elves. Rest assured, it's up to me to solve the problem. Found them, count them in. ”

……

The forest fell into a deep sleep.

After instructing Xiu Wen to take care of Feng Yanxin, he watched her fall asleep before putting on his cloak and stepping out of the elf's wooden house.

Black market.

This is what Qi Yun is most suspicious. And hunters who can hunt people without leaving a trace are not uncommon on this continent.

Walking in the dark, doing disgusting behavior, and being protected by the law.

It was a written clause that where hunters were worthy of trial for their actions, they could provide a contract with their employer. Once confirmed, all the crimes involved in the actions contracted by the hunter in the hunt will be transferred to the employer.

This is the Hunter's Treaty established by the current emperor, and it seems to have a causal relationship with the civil war of ten years ago.

However, the negative impact of this treaty is the black market and gang culture that has exploded in the past decade. The collision of money and power grows wildly in uncontrollable factors.

However, underneath all this disgrace, there is an inexplicable order. It's as if someone is overseeing everything, and anyone who thinks they can blame their employer for the covert operation has been brutally killed by unknown forces.

No one can break the rules.

He was ready to find the unknown force, the one affectionately known as the Arbitral Tribunal.

The clouds knew that they had all the details of the hunter's movements, because the hunters who concealed the information would not be protected by the treaty.

And he can find the regional head of the arbitral tribunal through his identity without alarming anyone. All you need to do is ......

Keep an eye on it.

The clouds stopped in the forest.

"You're still keeping up."

"Okay, let's help the elves together, I won't let you go alone."

Qi Yun turned around, but couldn't hold back a smile.

Through the bright moonlight after the rain, he saw Feng Yanxin.

I thought it would be that familiar face, but now it is full of mud.

"Laughing at what? It's dark and the road is slippery. ”
