Although she would fall into a coma from time to time, Eleanor stayed awake for longer and longer.

It can be said that her body is indeed getting better and recovering rapidly.

"You're awake." Asker said, "Little girl......"

"My path is not narrow!" Eleanor replied angrily.

Although she didn't understand what this sentence meant, she was ridiculed every time she woke up, and she was enough.

"It was also said that it did not go narrow." Aske said disdainfully, "Why else are you on my back?" ”

Elinor:........................

It's so angry that I can't refute him!

Despite several days of communication and arguing, Asker still disapproves of her actions, scorns her for saving the Imperial soldiers and knights, and gives her the unpleasant title of "White Left".

By the way, what is White Left?

In the world of A Song of Iron and Fire, the vast majority of countries are monarchical dictatorships, and there is no leftist or rightist term, so Eleanor doesn't know what a "white left" is, but she can hear the contempt and contempt in Asker's tone, and she can guess that she is "an unrealistic idealist".

This comment made her feel extremely angry and frustrated, and every time she thought about it, she wanted to quarrel with Asker.

However, another undeniable fact is that it was indeed she who left the team without permission and risked assassinating the emperor alone, causing unnecessary trouble to everyone, and making herself now paralyzed and unable to move, turning into a large oil bottle.

Asker rescued her at great risk, taking her away along the way, and taking care of her food, clothing, and daily life. Although it was a little ashamed, it was true that he was taking care of her in all directions......

Therefore, she did not have any confidence to accuse Asker.

Thinking of this, Eleanor's attitude softened again.

"Where are we going? How long do you have to go? She leaned on Asker's shoulder and whispered.

"To Florence." Asker replied, "It should be there tomorrow morning." ”

"What about the dragon of fantasy?"

"I set a little trap for him." "If it goes well, he'll be dumped by us and won't be able to find us again." ”

"And what if it doesn't go well?" Eleanor asked.

"By the time he finds out, we should have arrived in Florence." Asker said.

"So fast?" Eleanor muttered.

"Quick? Do you know how long we've been walking? Aske asked rhetorically without looking back, "How many days do you think we'll have to go?" ”

Eleanor stopped talking.

"What, you feel wronged again?" After a moment, Asker asked.

"Nope." Eleanor replied in a whisper, "I'm just afraid you'll be tired from walking too fast." ”

"Not confident in your weight, are you?" Asker said.

"How can you discuss her weight with a lady?" Eleanor gave her a blank look and whispered, "What's more, my weight is light in the team." ”

"It can't be." Asker said, "There are so many underage girls in our team......"

"Well, I mean people of the same age." Eleanor coughed, looked at the darkening sky around her, and changed the subject, saying, "After walking for so long, let's take a break." ”

"Hmm."

Asker found a small dilapidated house in front of him, which seemed to be a temporary resting place for nearby shepherds. Pushing the door in, the two frowned in the dust raised.

In the wilds of A Song of Iron and Fire, there are plenty of these ownerless buildings for hardcore gamers who need to "sleep in the game" to rest and sleep. Otherwise, if you sleep in the open air and are scratched to death by a passing monster, it is easy to cause complaints from players.

Pulling out a gray sheepskin blanket in the corner, Asker asked Eleanor what she meant.

The latter immediately refused in disgust: she would rather sleep without a quilt than drape this dirty blanket full of dust.

Asker summoned a broom and swept the house clean of ash before putting down Eleanor.

"Why can you summon a broomstick?!" Eleanor's face was full of confusion, "Can a broom be considered a weapon?" ”

"Of course." Asker said casually, "Broomsticks, rolling pins, and pans, but the three god-level weapons for civilians are okay?" ”

Elinor:???

"I seem to be able to move a little." Eleanor tried to raise her arm, halfway up before she smiled bitterly, "It's just a little hard." ”

"Well, I guess if I get some more sleep, I should be able to recover completely tomorrow." Asker said this, unloading his gear, and lay down next to her.

Hmm, the last time I slept like this was when I was taking Peggy in the cemetery......

Eleanor stared at him blankly. Of course, it is inconvenient for her to move now, so she can only maintain this position.

"Commander, ......"

"What?"

"I know it's wrong." Eleanor said.

Asker was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu.

Oh, by the way, the last time she came back from the resurrection of comprehending the laws of war, Peggy hugged her legs and snot and tears, which seemed to be said at the time.

"What's wrong with you?" Asker asked, closing his eyes.

"I shouldn't have left the team without permission." Eleanor said cautiously, "It shouldn't be hidden from you. ”

In other words, this girl still thinks that it is right to assassinate the emperor. Asker sighed inwardly and said:

"Eleanor, if you fail this time...... I mean, you didn't comprehend the Indomitable Sword, what do you think you'd do? ”

"But I didn't have an epiphany." Eleanor explained, "I had mastered the Holy Sword the day before. ”

"Let's put it another way." Aske said, "If I hadn't come to save you, or if I had come too late, what would you think would have ended for you?" ”

"Die." Eleanor turned her gaze to the ceiling.

"Have you ever wondered what our team would do if you died? Countless resources and painstaking efforts have been invested...... Of course, it was mainly my hard work that brought you to this level. As a result, you can't think of it, you jump into the fire pit and commit suicide, what should our team do? ”

Eleanor stopped talking.

Asker shook his head and ignored her.

After a while, I heard Eleanor say faintly:

"If I had consulted with you beforehand, you would have taken me with me, wouldn't you?"

"Of course." Asker replied.

"And these people...... What to do? Eleanor said sadly, "What will happen to these forcibly conscripted soldiers and knights?" Who can save them? ”

Aske was speechless, how could this girl get into the classic philosophical question of "self-interest or altruism" in one fell swoop?

Speaking of classical philosophical questions, an age-old dilemma of "save me or save your mother while falling into the water at the same time" suddenly crossed his mind, so Asker had an idea and asked:

"Eleanor, if at some point in the future, our team has suffered a deadly crisis. At the same time, in another place, there are a large number of innocent people who are about to die, and both sides are asking you for help at the same time, you can only choose to save one side, what will you choose? ”

"I ......," said Eleanor, opening her mouth, and then said gloomily:

"I'll save the team first."

Hey, why did this girl suddenly open up? Aske was a little surprised, could it be that only philosophical questions can defeat philosophical questions?

In any case, at least this girl still knows the difference between intimacy and alienation, and knows that putting the importance of team safety above those who have nothing to do with her is not justice and irremediable.

As for how to correct her paranoid thoughts in the future, she needs to be adjusted slowly.

"Because I know that if you were faced with the same difficult choice, you would choose to save me, right?" Eleanor looked at him and said, his face reflected in his blue pupils.

"Of course, so I'm not here to save you this time?" Asker said.

"I know." Eleanor smiled, "Thank you, Asker. ”

"Well, then I'll sleep."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Aske fell asleep peacefully.

Maintaining a skill for so many days, even if its own spiritual consumption is low, is not a small burden for Asker.

Taking advantage of the rare opportunity for the dragon to be lured away tonight, it is time to quickly get a good night's sleep to replenish his spirituality.

Gradually, his mind calmed down and he slowly fell asleep.

However, Eleanor, who was beside him, kept staring at him intently.

"Actually, I was ready to kill myself......"

After about ten minutes, Eleanor whispered again.

“…… However, at the last moment I realized that I would rather have you come to my rescue......"

As if she had mustered up enough courage, she slowly moved her body towards Asker.

It's just a short distance, but for her body now, it seems like an incomparably long journey.

Finally, after another half hour, Eleanor finally managed to stick to Asker's side with great difficulty.

"Asker......"

She pressed her head hard against his shoulder.

"Maybe it's because I subconsciously believe that you will definitely come to save me......"

If Asker was awake at this time, he would definitely lose his temper and say, "You dare to mess around like this, knowing that I will come to save you?" ”

But he was asleep now, so Eleanor mustered up the courage in her heart and continued to whisper.

"Asker, I'm actually a naïve and useless person."

"...... who thought they could save the world"

"In fact, I couldn't even save my brother's life......"

"If only I could learn the Holy Sword earlier...... Aren't they going to die? ”

She was silent for a long time in the silence of the night, as if she had fallen back into the sad thoughts of the past, and her eyes quickly moistened again.

However, in the end, she held back her tears, suppressed her choked and sobbing voices, and said:

"Because, I am naïve and willful, so I want to prevent more tragedies."

"It's because I'm weak and useless that I'm so powerless."

There was silence again for a moment before Eleanor stretched out her hands with difficulty, trembling, and gently grabbed Asker's arm.

As if regaining her sense of security, her rapid breathing quickly calmed down, staring at the side of his face in a daze.

"Thank you, Asker."

"At the last moment, I didn't give up on such a naïve and useless ......"

As if made up her mind, she pressed her lips closer to Asker's ear.

"I love you."

"Good night."

After using all her strength and saying the last words, the weak Eleanor hugged his left arm, put her cheek against his shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

……

In the dream, she returned to the night of the family banquet in the Weissbach Palace.

The hall is brightly lit, the violin music is melodious, and the well-dressed guests are chatting and laughing.

Outside the banquet hall, a blonde girl in an evening dress slipped out quietly, carrying a bag of food from the table.

The young man stood on the edge of the balcony railing in the moonlight, looking back at her in amazement.
