Looking at the serious Altea, Malone smiled and shook his head, then fell backwards, pillowed his arms, and slowly closed his eyes.

The camp had fallen silent, with the occasional crackling of firewood burning in the campfires and the murmuring of the Elwin River not far away.

Under the nature of nature, Malone soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

I don't know how long it took, Marlon opened his eyes; The surroundings were all dark, and by the faint light of the campfire reflected behind him, Marlon saw Althea beside him, and the vague shadow of the camp fence in the distance.

Marlon didn't know what time it was, but it shouldn't have been too late at night; Turning over and sitting up, Malone just wanted to say hello to Althea, but he was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with a wry smile.

Obviously, Malone was not the only one who was tired - Althea had never had the experience of vigil, and at this time, she was too sleepy to open her eyes.

When Malone sat up, Althea was also sitting on the grass, but compared to Malone before going to bed, Althea was obviously more sleepy now.

Her slender jaw fluttered slightly in the dim vision, and Althea's head seemed to be dozing off little by little.

"Althea, persevere!"

Just as Malone was considering whether to wake Althea up, she woke up herself, stared at her sleepy eyes, gently patted her cheek, and cheered herself up.

Of course, the Spiritual Victory Method couldn't work forever, and within a few tens of seconds, Althea hung her head again.

"Althea, you can rest, and I will be alone for the next vigil."

Malone patted Althea's back and said with a chuckle.

"But...... But ......"

Althea then found that Marlon had woken up, of course she knew that she had not been able to complete the task smoothly, and she had been standing for a long time, but she finally failed to resist the tiredness of consciousness.

Under Marlon's surprised gaze, Althea's body leaned towards him little by little, and finally the whole person leaned on his arm, and her delicate cheeks gently snuggled against his chest.

"Ahem...... Althea? ”

Malone asked softly, but didn't get even a single answer.

The answer is still yes, if that slight and well-proportioned breathing sound counts.

"Alas......"

Malone sighed helplessly, then gently lifted Althea's petite body and let her lie down, her head resting on her lap - of course, Malone didn't forget to remove his armor skirt, revealing the soft, silky bottoms.

Gently stroking Althea's short hair behind her ears, the light was so dim that Malone couldn't see the girl's face clearly, but in the silent night, the faint sound of breathing, and the blurred outline of the full/full/peaks that rose and fell with this breathing, gave Malone an inexplicable ambiguous/ambiguous feeling.

What a good girl......

- Malone suddenly had such a thought in his mind, but soon he shook his head in embarrassment and focused his attention on the movements around him.

The night in the twilight forest is still long, long.

……

The next morning, when Althea woke up, the sunlight in the twilight forest was not enough for her to see too far away.

But at least it was enough for her to see what was close at hand, especially to see her current ...... "body/position".

Althea found herself resting on someone else's lap - she looked up in a daze, and then saw Marlon's handsome, sunny smiling face.

"You're awake, Althea."

Marlon and Althea greeted each other.

"Ah...... Yes? I...... Marlon you ......"

Althea was stunned for a moment, then sat up suddenly, and Malone had to lean back quickly, lest Althea crash into her armor and get hurt.

Althea, who sat up, blushed, and in a panic wiped the saliva from the corners of her mouth from her sleep, and then folded her hands in front of her, her head bowed in embarrassment.

"Althea, what's wrong with you?"

Malone asked curiously.

"I ...... How can I sleep on your lap? ”

Althea's voice was so small that it was barely audible.

"You fell asleep last night, so I kept watch for you for a while...... As for this ...... Are you sleeping comfortably? ”

Malone asked suspiciously.

"No...... No...... But ......"

Althea's hands tightened even tighter - sleeping comfortably was another matter...... How can a girl just lie on someone else's body? Even if that man is Sir Lothar...... It doesn't work either!

"Well, Althea, there's nothing to be ashamed of, you're keeping vigil for the first time, and it's remarkable to be able to hold out for an hour...... It's not too early, we've had breakfast, and we have to hurry up! ”

Marlon thought that Althea was feeling sorry for her failure to keep the vigil, but he didn't know that Althea had something else on her mind.

"Oh......"

Althea nodded sullenly, then got up from the grass, patted off the grass stalks, and silently followed Marlon towards the center of the camp.

"Chief Lothar!"

Out of nowhere, Paul jumped up to Malone and shouted in greeting.

"Paul, how was last night? No surprises, right? ”

Malone stopped and asked seriously.

"Strange to say, Sir Lothar, in spite of all the beasts we encountered during the day, at night there were no accidents, and there was silence all the time...... I'm a little uncomfortable. ”

Paul replied with a look of confusion.

The refugee procession had not gone smoothly in the twilight forest yesterday, and was harassed by many wild beasts along the way; Paul thought that he would not be safe last night, and he had already prepared for the battle in advance, but he didn't expect that his strength would not come in handy in the end, which made him a little uncomfortable now.

"It's really weird...... How is it possible that there is no movement at all? ”

Malone muttered to himself - night is when the beasts are really active, but the camp is surprisingly quiet; There is a saying that "when things go wrong, there must be demons", and Ma Long feels that behind this qiē, there must be more dangerous hidden dangers.

But when Malone told Elo Eberlock about it, it didn't attract the attention of the other party.

"Hahaha, Sir Lothar, you're thinking too much...... Isn't it nice to be safe? It must have been the light of the fire in our camp that scared off the beasts, you know, most of them were afraid of open flames. ”

Elo Eberlock said as he ate breakfast and comforted Malone.
