A day has passed.

The journey from Orlan to the north by carriage took half a day, and Finn's party and Terkes' team set out in the morning and arrived in the afternoon at the Scorpion Valley, which was surrounded by mountains on three sides, east and west, and could only be accessed through the valley mouth in the south.

Although the unattainable Mount Elbach rises on the back side of the Scorpion Valley, the climate in this valley is actually colder than the Golantian Plains north of the Lawrence River. It was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and since entering the valley, Finn sat in a carriage hired by Lord Terkes and lifted the window to look out, and casually saw the white snow that was like a carpet on the earth, and a stream that flowed down the hillside from the heights to the valley not far away.

Along Orlan's official road into the Scorpion Valley, a motorized caravan hired by Telx took everyone to a post inn in the middle of the Scorpion Valley at about three o'clock in the afternoon. When the carriage came to a stop, Finn was the first to open the door from the small compartment behind the carriage, jumped down, turned around and reached out to catch Lilith with the fat owl named Pol on her head, and then watched Camussa and Arya descend from behind.

When the dark elf girl got out of the car, her steps were as casual as usual, and she didn't look uncomfortable at all. However, after Camusa got out of the car, Arya bought a thick fluffy cloak from Orlan City before setting off because she was afraid of the cold, and her face was slightly red from the cold, and her mouth kept exhaling white heat, so that when Finn saw her boots on her legs and feet leaving the carriage box and stepping on the snow, she couldn't help but worry about her: "Arya, are you really okay?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Arya tightened the scarf around her neck with her hand and looked up at Finn, "It's just that I was used to staying in the south when I was a child, and it will take some time to get used to the temperature here, so don't worry." ”

"That's good." Finn breathed a sigh of relief, "But don't push yourself too hard, just say it if you're not feeling well." ”

"No problem." Arya smiled slightly, then glanced at the fat owl named Pol standing on Lilith's head, and a little mischief flashed in her heart, so she pressed her index finger like a slingshot on the thumb of the same hand and quietly reached over, and flicked it at the wrinkled back of Pol's head.

"Woooooooooo In the next second, Pol fluttered his wings vigilantly as Arya expected, and with a strange scream, his fat ****** spun in a circle in mid-air less than two centimeters above Lilith's head and stared at him, and the two stupid big eyes were stupid and cute.

Arya and Pol stared at each other for a second, and the blonde elf girl couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, suddenly feeling that her body was not as cold as when she had just gotten out of the carriage.

Lilith noticed that Pol was moving around her head again, and her dark eyes immediately lifted up in her sockets, and at the same time raised her hands to take Pol off her head and hold it in front of her, and said like a serious mother educating her naughty child: "Pol, Arya is a companion, so don't be afraid of her, be obedient." ”

After saying that, she tilted her head, calmly looked at the little bird that she was holding in the palm of her hand and stared at her, and then put the dumb little guy back on her head, and gently stroked the latter's white feathers as she let go. After returning to Lilith's head, Pol stared at his round eyes and looked left and right alertly, then blinked and relaxed, and continued to use the black hair on Lilith's head as his warm and comfortable nest to stand firm, and turned one eye open and one eye closed and took a nap.

Fein stood next to Camussa and watched this scene silently, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently smiled slightly, thinking that the combination of Lilith and Pol, the main pet duo who had just made a magic pet contract a day ago, was very interesting, and at the same time, he was also happy for the rapidly rising tacit understanding between Lilith and Pol.

According to the Ferdia game team's Pet system, newly tamed pets by caster players tend to go through a period of rebellion ranging from three days to a week, after which the relationship with the caster will gradually improve at a gradual rate.

Lilith and Pol, however, are a rare exception. Bol had been struggling with Lilith for less than a minute since he signed a pet contract with her in Orlan's inn room, and then he had completely glued to Lilith as if he were his mother.

According to Finn's knowledge, the people who can greatly shorten the rebellious period of the demon pet are divided into three categories, the first type is the druids who have the specialty ability of [animal affinity] in their professional expertise, the second type is the strange people whose charm attributes are high enough to rewrite the original wishes of the game producers, and the third type is those spellcasters whose magical power is strong enough to make the demon pet subconsciously produce awe and obedience to it in a short period of time.

Among the above three types of people, the "magical power" mentioned in the third group of people does not directly refer to the actual combat ability of this type of people to use magic to fight, but refers to the magical potential that they have possessed since birth. A person's magical potential determines the upper limit of a person's magic field, and the few hereditary nobles in the Faentan Empire who have a history of wizarding sometimes secretly carry their spouses behind their backs in order to inherit more powerful magical potential from their parents' bloodlines, which shows how important magical potential is for a child who will embark on the path of wizarding in the future.

For Lilith, Finn doesn't think that this dark-haired girl with a mysterious background is the first and second type of people, after all, Lilith's profession is first of all warlocks and not druids, and secondly, if Lilith's charm attribute is really high to the level of the second type of person, then when Finn and her eyes meet, she will inadvertently subconsciously apply a control effect similar to a weakened version of [Charm Technique], but Finn has never noticed this feeling from Lilith's gaze.

Unless Pol is a wonder flower in the world of magical pets, Finn thinks that Lilith can only be a third type of person, the kind of spellcaster who is born with extraordinary potential - such as the half-elven witch-king of the Third Age, the creator of the obsidian codex, White Astor Silvermoon, a true genius who is both the Apocalypse and favored and favored by the god of magic, Madic.

"In this way, Lilith's background is even more curious." Suddenly, after thinking of this, Finn looked at the girl in front of him with his eyes and pinched his chin with his hand.

Suddenly, just as he was accidentally following the thoughts in his head again, Arya walked up to him and raised her hand to shake it in front of his eyes, "What's wrong, Finn?" What weird stuff are you thinking about again? ”

"Huh? Oh, nothing. Hearing Arya's voice, Finn came to his senses, and turned to find that Camusha, who had been standing beside him, had now followed Tarks and Leah who had disembarked from another carriage, and a group of people were walking towards a three-story wooden house not far away.
