When she opened her eyes, she saw an unfamiliar ceiling. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Tents?"

To be precise, it was a dome of clearly textured waterproof canvas, and the girl stood up, her muscles still a little sore, and her head was groggy, and she looked around, the flickering candlelight reflecting the scenery inside the tent.

There were a few clothes drying on the wooden shelves beside the brazier, and the soft bed and thick blanket underneath were reassuring, and the girl was still thinking about why she had come to this place, when she saw another girl beside the bed.

Her long blond hair was tied up at the ends, her soft facial lines were pitying, and her blue eyes were as calm as water, staring at her side at the moment.

"Are you awake?"

The opening is a pleasant voice like a silver bell.

"Hmm."

Unable to confirm the identity of the other party, the girl recalled her previous experience in her mind.

The foggy forest, the group's investigation and search along the way, then the creeping thorns and creepy shadows of the trees, interrupted her memory.

"Yes...... You saved me? ”

It was too unlikely that this would be the goddess's homecoming, and if it was a bad person, there was no need to treat her like this, so the clever El girl quickly deduced some of the causes and consequences of the incident.

"Yes, we are Aster's army, and we are at war with the Wendland army in this misty forest."

The other man nodded, and then asked in a gentle manner.

"You're from the El, why are you in the Misty Forest?"

"I ......"

The girl wanted to speak and stopped, on the one hand, because she didn't know whether the other party was trustworthy, and on the other hand, because the purpose of her trip was not something worth publicizing.

"You were attacked by the Tree Demon, and you were lucky enough to be used as bait to survive, but those companions of yours may not be so lucky."

The voice of a strange man interrupted the girl's thoughts, and she looked sideways, only to find the figure of the brown-haired man behind the blonde girl.

His brown hair was a little messy, his green eyes were staring at him, he was dressed in a light blue robe, and on his chest was a cross-shaped pendant, and he didn't look like a soldier, at least judging by his words, the El girl judged that the young man was closer to a strategist or something.

"How do you know I have ......"

"Do you know you have companions?"

The man spoke before the girl could finish speaking, ignoring the surprised look on the girl's face as he continued.

"The strength of the members of the Royal Alchemist Society is uneven, there are both masters of Stigmata Awakening, and ordinary people who are in the lower bronze position, and the guy who can be trapped by the tree demon is at best in the bronze upper position, and if such a guy will be allowed to come alone in the dangerous forests of the neighboring country, the old guys of the Royal Alchemist Society should also reflect on themselves."

Hitting the nail on the head, the man shrugged.

"In this case, if you are not strong, you should follow the others into this misty forest, the Tree Demon only has a bronze rank, if you have enough manpower, it will not pose a threat, at least you will not let those companions abandon you, so I deduce that you may have encountered an attack, the enemy is difficult to deal with, maybe you have suffered huge losses, and in the panic, you were unable to save you from the hands of the Tree Demon......"

The young man slowly spoke his reasoning.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend, but I just want to tell you that we saved you from the Dryad, and if you still want us to save your companions, it's best not to have too many reservations."

Shiloh already had a plan in mind, so he admonished the girl of the El tribe.

"Hmm......"

The girl hung her head and fell into thought.

She was wearing the clothes of the Royal Alchemist Society, and it was normal for her to be recognized by the people of Astel with a certain status, but from these alone, she could deduce the people who were traveling with her, and what happened to them, and the young man in front of her seemed to be not to be underestimated.

Although the girl of the El tribe was said to be a weakness by the other party, she really needed to confirm the safety of her companions at the moment, and needed someone to help her, but if she easily said her situation, it was easy to fall into passivity, so she decided to observe it again before making a decision.

"We don't have much time, after all, it's a time of war."

The man urged, and the blonde girl tugged at the man's sleeve.

"Don't put so much pressure on her, they have just escaped death, we need to give her time to relax."

In a gentle tone, the blonde girl looked much higher than the young man.

"Hmm......"

The girl of the El tribe decided to use the blonde girl as a breakthrough.

The girl didn't know how long it had been since she had been attacked, and if her companion had escaped danger, she knew that if she delayed any longer, it would only be to her own detriment.

She had to find someone to help, but she didn't trust the young man and girl in front of her, at least, she didn't want to put her and her companions' safety on the Asterls.

The best solution at the moment was to be able to contact Charandall's garrison near the Plains of Farland, with the coat of arms of her mercury scale, enough to mobilize an army to search the misty forest, knowing that each army had a communication device developed by Charander, and if she could use that equipment, she would be able to get in touch with her homeland.

"I want to get in touch with Charandel's garrison and return to my own territory first."

The El-girl said, trying her best to suppress the tremor in her voice from nervousness.

"Leaving aside whether the military communication route will be used by you, are you sure that your companions won't be sucked clean by the Dryads before you return to Charandal?"

"I'm sorry if that's the case, but I'm going to make sure I'm safe first."

Deliberately pretending not to care, the El girl said.

"Well, since that's the case, there's nothing more to say, and we won't meddle in your business."

The young man nodded as if giving up, and continued.

"However, we will be fighting Wendland in the near future, so we can't just let you go in order to prevent you from leaking information, at least, well, it will be a week later, after we have finished the fight, please rest assured, until then, we will protect you."

"Wait ......"

"Don't worry, you have a good rest first, and when the battle is over, we will send you home."

The blonde girl persuaded, then gently took the El girl's hand, as if she had also decided to let her stay in the camp for the time being.

It's not the same as saying yes!

The girl of the El clan originally thought that the other party would send her back even if she couldn't use the communicator when she saw that she couldn't get valuable information from her, but she didn't expect that the young man in front of her would be such a scoundrel and want to detain herself here.

A week later, no matter how high his strength is, his companions will probably turn into food for the demonic beasts in this forest, and he can't let this happen no matter what.

After saying that, she stood up, and the blonde girl turned around and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by the girl's clothes.

"Wait."

Speaking in a hesitant tone, the girl of the El clan thought twice, and finally bowed her head to the two of them and pleaded.

"Please, please help me."
