Chapter 29: Guidance from the Manager

10 October 527 at 14:53 in the Magic Calendar

Hongying and Marshall searched for three days in Ye Tingfang, but they didn't find a place suspected of being a magic field, not because they couldn't find it, but because they would have a thick fog at night during the past few days in Ye Tingfang. As soon as the moisture is heavy, Hongying's slight wound will be faintly painful. At night, when she couldn't sleep in pain, Marshall had to take out her flute and play healing songs for her.

In the middle of the night, Marshall fell asleep, and the healing magic gradually lost its magic, and Hongying would be woken up in pain, because she didn't want to disturb Marshall's sleep. She had to endure it, and she stayed up in a daze until the day, and she would need a lot of time to make up for sleep and rest because she couldn't sleep well at night, and once she fell asleep, she couldn't wake up.

Marshall didn't know the reason, and when he saw that she slept so soundly, he couldn't bear to wake up, so he had to let her continue to fall asleep. So it usually takes two or three o'clock in the afternoon for Hongying to wake up.

He was very worried about Hongying's body: "Did you not sleep well at night?" ”

Hongying stuck out her tongue: "The bed is uncomfortable, so I didn't sleep well." ”

"Did it hurt again at night?"

Hongying shrugged: "No, I fell asleep early, I'm just lying in bed." She rubbed her puffy eyelids.

Marshall raised Hongying's chin: "Look at your eyes, they are all swollen into little goldfish, I will stay by your side tonight and coax you to sleep." ”

"No need, we live in a hotel, and you will make noise about others if you play the flute all night. Let's go get something to eat. ”

When they arrived at the restaurant, Marshall asked the manager about the weather: "Manager, why is it so humid and foggy here at night?" ”

The manager spread his hands disapprovingly and said, "It's always been like this, and I thought it was strange at first, but after a while, I got used to it." None of us here go out at night, it's too humid outside at night. ”

After the chef finished cooking and served it, he sat down at the table next to him and joined in the chat: "We are also in the civilian area around Wangcheng and Doro District, it's very strange, only we are in the southeast area of Tingfang This kind of weather should have something to do with the mountain range on the border." If the moisture doesn't get away, it's piled up here. ”

Hongying held the soup bowl and drank the hot soup, her face full of happiness. After drinking, he put down the bowl, looked at the manager and asked, "But why didn't I feel such heavy moisture when I lived in an orphanage when I was a child?" ”

"The orphanage, the abandoned Yetingfang orphanage in the north?"

Hongying nodded.

"Don't look at it, it's just a few streets away, and the humidity there isn't as strong as it is here. Are you uncomfortable? Drinking more hot soup and sweating can dispel dampness. You've lived here for so long, what are you looking for? ”

Marshall glared at the manager, Hongying immediately took Marshall's hand, and then said to the manager: "I didn't live in an orphanage when I was a child, this time I came back to find my sister, I finally lived a slightly better life, of course I want to take my sister over." But I didn't expect the orphanage to move away. As she spoke, Hongying's eyes became teary-eyed, and her already swollen eyelids became even more swollen.

Marshall looked at Hongying, who had an exaggerated expression, and was a little surprised.

"I see, little sister, two years ago, Dean Dan took all the children and went south. I was still thinking, what are you doing with so many children on a big night, I wanted to warn them that the fog is dangerous at night, but when I go out, they are gone, I think forget it. The manager recalled.

Marshall asked, "At night?" ”

"I think they probably don't know that it's not a good place to go out at night, maybe they have something urgent. I only saw it when I woke up at night. I didn't think much of it. The manager raised an eyebrow.

"Heading south?" Hongying confirmed again.

After getting a confirmed answer, Hongying looked very happy: "Marshall, let's look for it later." ”

Marshall nodded, "Okay, we'll find out." ”

I knew the general direction, but after walking along the path to the south, the surrounding area began to turn into a deserted yellow sandy land. Unfortunately, she hit a fork in the road again, and Hongying didn't know where to go.

Although Marshall couldn't bear to see Hongying lost, he still persuaded her: "Let's go back, I'll accompany you to find the magic field after the orphanage is found, okay?" ”

"I thought, I thought I would find it soon, I thought I would see the little girl soon, I don't know if Dean Dan took care of her, I don't know if her illness is better. I should have come back to see him sooner, and I shouldn't have coveted this comfortable life. Hongying's shoulders kept shaking, and the wound was pulled, but she couldn't feel the pain anymore because of the sadness.

Marshall hurriedly pressed Hongying's shoulder: "I'll accompany you to find it, we won't cry, okay?" ”

Hongying turned around and hugged Marshall tightly: "If I only steal money and don't steal the things of those noble families, I won't be kicked out by Dean Dan." The little girl has always relied on me and treated me as a sister, but I abandoned her, will she have forgotten me? ”

Marshall was distraught when he saw Hongying crying, and he didn't know how to comfort her. He had no choice but to keep stroking Hongying's head.

Hongying cried for a while and then calmed down a lot, then pushed Marshall away because she felt shy, turned around and looked at the fork in the road: "Which one should we take?" ”

At the end of a fork in the road on the left is a mountain range, which is supposed to be the border, and the fork on the right leads to a wasteland. Compared with these two roads, Marshall is more interested in the Peony Mountains: "Hongying, let's go this way." Marshall pointed to the fork in the road on the left.

"Then let's go."

After walking down this fork in the road, all around are empty, dilapidated huts. The yellow sandy land makes it even more barren. It seems that Hongying and Marshall have walked on this path for a long time, but the surrounding scenery seems to be the same, and the distant mountains have not become closer. The afternoon sun did not feel the temperature it should have, only a hint of coolness brought by the oncoming wind.

This made Marshall a little uneasy, and he stopped: "Hongying, don't you think it's a little weird here?" ”

Hongying also stopped, calmly observing her surroundings. When she looked back at Shi Dao, she was already a little confused. Hongying looked up at the sun and frowned: "We've been walking for more than an hour, why is the sun overhead?" Feeling, what's weird? I'll try to find out with my magic,"

Red Ying radiates her mana from her body as usual, only to find that her magic is blocked by a glass-like layer. She closed her eyes and calmed down to perceive. It hung like a glass jar around the two of them.

She bit her lip, took a deep breath, and stood with her feet apart, one in front of the other. Gather the magic power on your right hand clenched into a fist. The corners of her mouth twitched up slightly, revealing a smug smile: "Someone wants to trap us here, and I won't let him succeed." ”

Marshall saw such a red screen for the first time, and unexpectedly found an untamable wildness in her eyes, and was a little panicked: "Red screen, do you need this?" ”

Hongying punched the sand, but Marshall didn't see the sand crack because of the heavy blow: "Why didn't anything happen?" ”

Hong Ying tilted her head and licked her lower lip and looked around: "That's why I said someone set up a magic array here." There's no way my magic can do it harm. ”

"In other words, there is really something around here before someone will set up a magic array, so our direction is not wrong." Marshall cupped his chin and nodded.

"The most important thing now is how to get out of this magic circle. I can't break it if I'm so strong, it seems that this person is also quite strong! Hongying muttered to herself, "Marshall, come here." ”

"What's wrong?" Marshall raised an eyebrow.

"Come here, stay behind me." Hongying asked Marshall to stand behind her, "I may not be able to protect you if you are so far away." ”

Marshall looked at Hongying with a posture of wanting to protect himself, and he stared at her double ponytail with a smile: "When did you learn to be so aggressive?" ”

Hongying flicked her braids back with both hands: "Marshall, just wait obediently, we can go out soon." Hee-hee. ”

This time, Hongying's posture was different, and she turned her crossbody bag backwards, and the little pink bear dangled behind her. She lifted her skirt upwards and squatted with her legs apart, her center of gravity lowered.

Once again, the fists condensed the magic, and this time the magic was ignited and turned into flames. The heat of the flame caused a violent flow of air, and the hot air around Hongying went upward, and the cold air in the distance around Hongying was sucked into the space around Hongying. The originally stable environment in the magic array was destroyed by this sudden energy, and cracks began to appear in the magic array.

Hongying put away the flames on her fists and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he straightened out his appearance and restored his girl's posture.

"That's it?" Marshall plays with the red double ponytail.

"Sometimes, violence doesn't solve the problem, you have to use wisdom." Hongying turned her head to look at Marshall and smiled a little smugly, then stomped her foot, and the magic array was cracked like broken glass.

After the magic circle disappeared, their surroundings completely changed. It was getting dark, and in front of them was a somewhat deserted farmland. The chalet not far away had an open door and no lights inside. It's also like no one will be here around.

"It's so bright in here. But it looks like there's no one around here. Hongying looked around.

Marshall looked up at the bright moon, the first time he had seen such a beautiful moon, so close, so big, so round, so bright, so strange.

"Moon...... It's beautiful. Marshall's mouth unconsciously opened slightly.

Hongying also raised her head with Marshall's gaze: "Wow! It's so beautiful! The moon here is so beautiful! It turns out that the moon looks like this. Marshall! Marshall! Just my first time! Wowha! ”

Marshall watched as Hongying was bathed in the moonlight, jumping excitedly in circles in the fields. His slightly open mouth slowly closed, then lowered his head and smiled shallowly. When he raised his eyes to look at the red glow again, his eyes became as gentle as moonlight.
