Chapter 21: Andrea

Darius withdrew the flame burning on the axe, but still pointed the axe at her, facing a woman who didn't know the details, and he couldn't let down the necessary precautions just because of a few words. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sea of fire not far away reflected the surroundings in red, and by the bright light of the fire, Darius finally saw the appearance of the lurker.

She was not very tall, but she was very slender, and a layer of delicate black leather armor enveloped her graceful figure, which at first glance was not comparable to the inferior leather armor that the garrison soldiers on Darius.

Her face was shrouded in a hood, obscured by shadows, and it was not clear what it looked like, only a few strands of blonde hair protruded from the edge of the hood, which was particularly dazzling in the light of the fire, and the gray cloak behind her was a little dirty, and the signs of wear were very clear, it seemed that she had been in a lot of trouble before encountering Darius.

"Who are you? Why snoop outside our camps? ”

"I am an adventurer lost in the mountains and forests, and I have no malice."

Darius scoffed and stared at her intensely, though she had no weapon in her hand, but she couldn't be too wary of a clever thief. "Do you think I'm a fool, adventurer? What kind of place is this, I don't need to explain it to you, do I? What is your purpose here? If you don't make it clear, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this place for the time being. ”

"Young warrior, your enemies in Hazekama are only wild aliens, but aliens will never look for humans to be spies, so you don't have to worry about my identity, after all, this is not a battlefield with Demacia."

Although she refers to Darius as a young warrior, judging by her crisp voice, she is also not much older, "I'm a member of the Dagger of the Mist, have you heard?" We're one of the biggest adventurers in Noxus, and while we're not from the military, there's nothing wrong with each other. ”

At this time, Demons and West rushed over with the remaining warriors in the camp, and seeing the traces caused by the battle between the two men, Demons and the others put the arrow on the string and aimed it firmly at the woman standing opposite.

Darius shook his hand and motioned for them not to move for the time being, "West, you control the fire first, don't make too much noise. ”

It wasn't until Vester and the others got under control that he turned his attention back again. "Dagger of the Mist?" Darius recited the name in his mouth, "Throw me your ring, woman." ”

"I didn't expect you to understand this?" With a hint of surprise in her tone, the woman in leather armor removed a ring from the tail finger of her left hand and threw it far away to Darius.

Sensing no danger, Darius took the ring in confidence, and he spread out his palm, and the silver ring lay quietly in his palm. The silver ring, which resembled two miniature daggers around it, was inscribed with ciphertext that only the members of the Interior could read, and Darius had seen this when he was still in the hands of the Reynolds Brotherhood.

"Shadow Walker? You're a high-ranking member of the Misty Dagger, and it's an honor for our team to be targeted by a big man like you. Darius tossed the ring back to the woman, he had known an old thief of the Misty Dagger when he was in the Reynolds Brotherhood, and had been reminded by him, so he knew more about the organization.

The woman was not lying, as the ring was a seal of identity for the members of the Dagger of the Mist, and they usually wore it on their bodies. This ring is also jokingly known as the Grim Reaper's Greeting, because when you see the hand with this ring, the owner of the ring has already inserted the dagger into your heart.

As for the Shadow Walker, it is an honorific title, just as the mage above the Six Rings is eligible for the title of Master, the Skilled Stalker is able to travel and jump in the shadows without being detected, and the thief who has mastered the art of Shadow Jumping is eligible for this title, and this woman's ring clearly tells Darius that this is a rare Shadow Walker.

"A stalker of your level would have been forced out by me, you could have easily injured or even killed me, but you didn't, I guess it's not that you have a kind heart to spare me as a rude offender, but that you're in trouble, right?"

The woman fell silent for a long time, and since her face was hidden in the hood, Darius could not see the expression on her face, and he was not in a hurry, so he stood quietly aside, waiting for her reply.

After a long time, she finally spoke: "You surprise me, young warrior, it seems that you know us well, but it is good that at least you can confirm that I have no ill will towards you, can you?" ”

"That's it!"

Darius suddenly raised his voice, and his action not only made the woman on the other side a little stunned, but even De Mons and the others tightened their bows again, waiting for his next instructions.

"We don't have to tempt the past, you've been weaving a plausible reason in your head for so long, aren't you? Most thieves are good at this, and I don't want to talk nonsense with you, you're trying to come to us and steal some medicine, right? ”

"You don't have to deny it, do you know why I found you? Yes, your stealth skills are very good, and your stealth skills are also very good, and even the detection spells cast by my subordinate West can be easily fooled, but there is one thing you didn't expect, and that is - I have a sensitivity to blood that is far beyond the average person. ”

"You're injured, and you wouldn't sneak with the breath of blood in normal times, but this is the Alstow Mountains, and it seems that you don't have a place to repair, so you made such a big mistake, and that's why you try to avoid fighting a young warrior like me, whose strength is not worth mentioning in your eyes, am I right? How can we have anything in this little camp that you can look at? It's nothing more than rune bandages and healing herbs. ”

The woman in leather armor sighed after hearing Darius's words, and then she actually fell to the ground at once, supporting her body with her hands so that she would not fall completely.

"Ahem...... Since it has been seen through...... Then there's no point in me holding on, you're right, I'm really injured, and after I found out about your camp, I was going to come and steal some supplies, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you. But I really didn't mean anything bad to you, you were soldiers fighting for Noxus, and I never wanted to hurt you. ”

"How about we make a deal? You offer me medicines and supplies, I can exchange them for things, you know, a shadow walker is definitely worth a lot, I can swear in the name of Nona, the god of judgment, to give you unimaginable rewards. ”

Darius carried the axe to his back, slowly walked to her side, then stretched out his hands, put his left hand under her shoulder blades, and put the other hand on the crook of her leg, and picked her up.

Because Darius not only picked her up, but also locked her completely with his hands to prevent her from any abnormal movements: "I'm sorry, I'm a little rude, but you're a shadow walker after all, please forgive me for my caution." ”

"It's okay, in fact, I don't have the stamina to go that far." Her tone was very flat, but Darius felt that her breathing seemed to be heavier, maybe it was a wound?

Darius held what he called the princess hug position in his world and carried her back to the tent in the camp, the woman was so light that Darius even felt like he was holding a ball of cotton wool. He carefully placed her on the mat and found first aid supplies.

He instructed the people beside him, "Demence, go boil some hot water, West, can you find a way to make the tent light up?" "I say this because their only means of light is torches, and torches are obviously something that cannot be brought into the tent.

β€œNонгхэл”

West didn't chant, just whispered a spell, and a tiny ball of light floated in the air, illuminating the entire tent - a spell that didn't have a single ring, even a trick, but it was quite useful.

"Where are your injuries?"

"The wound is on the back."

"Can you take off the leather armor on your upper body?"

There was a long silence......

"Alright, West, you get out. If the hot water is boiling, hand it to me. When West had gone out with a reluctant expression, Darius put his hand on her cloak, "It's rude, but there's no lady here to help you." ”

The woman did not say a word, apparently acquiescing in his actions, and first untied her cloak, and then the hood attached to the cloak left her small head.

The first thing that caught Darius's eye was a thick head of blond hair, shining white in the light of the light, and her skin was unusually fair due to her long time in the shadows, like a fine piece of porcelain. She had pale blue eyes and small red lips, a high nose, and her whole facial features looked three-dimensional and delicate, she looked no more than twenty years old, and Darius did not expect such a face under the hood.

Even Darius's strong will, which was far superior to others, couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Then he saw a dark cloud begin to brew in her eyes, and he realized that this was no ordinary woman, but an extremely powerful shadow walker. So he quickly shifted his gaze: "By the way, my name is Darius, and I don't know your name yet." ”

"Andrea Katya Oleg, you can call me Andrea."
