At the foot of the snow-capped mountain, Ray was overtaken.

"You ......"

"Don't forget, I'm the best at tracking. Joyka demonstratively blinked her left eye.

"Why did you leave us?" said Sophia.

"I ......"

"You think you're the one who is causing us a problem, idiot, how can you think that?" Cassius said.

"We are all one, and we cannot be separated?" said Sophia.

"Yes, we have to continue to walk together. Dani and her friends have only known each other for a few months, but they already hold an important place in her heart.

"The descendants of our Eagle Father and Wolf Mother will take the corpses of their dead companions from the battlefield, not to mention the wounded ones. With his usual mode of thinking, Uzbekistan expressed everyone's thoughts.

"I don't think he has faith in Her Highness Princess's magic. Even Leonard, who rarely spoke, spoke.

"That's right. None of us feel like you're a burden, so why should you give up on yourself?" Cassius became more and more anxious.

Faced with the painstaking persuasion of his partners, Lei smiled helplessly: "You think I left because of the refuge?

The "......" companions looked at each other, guessing what Lu Lei was thinking.

"I just wanted to go to the city to find food. Ray gestured to Conwick City down the hill.

"Why didn't you inform us when you went to find food, and you didn't even bring a sled, who are you fooling?" Joyka immediately noticed the flaw in Ray's words.

"Ray, since you were a child, you can't learn to lie, how can you lie to us?"

"I didn't lie to you, you misunderstood. My stomach growled with hunger, and I didn't know when you were going to talk about it, so I went to find something to eat by myself. Ray scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "I didn't tell you first, I was too negligent, I'm sorry." ”

"Really looking for food...... Didn't lie to us?" Cassius still couldn't accept his face, after all, Ray was not such an unaccountable person.

"Ray, you're going to tell the truth. Sophia had the same suspicions as Cassius.

"You don't believe me?" Lei's face sank, "We are all companions, no one will affect anyone, no one will drag anyone, and no one will abandon anyone." In these days of fighting side by side, I thought that everyone could take care of each other, and there was no longer any suspicion, but I didn't expect ...... Even my own brother didn't believe me. ”

"Ray, that's not what we meant......" Cassius quickly explained.

Joika interrupted Cassius in time: "Ray, you kid is quite selfish, you actually went to eat alone behind everyone's back, seeing that you are usually silent, I didn't expect that there are more intestines than me, Joyka." ”

"Joika, you don't ......"

Cassius was going to say, "You don't really think Ray was looking for food," but Joyka didn't give him a chance to finish the whole sentence. "How can you go alone to find food? What if you eat it all? With that, Joyka got on his sleigh and drove the dogs forward with a rope, but after walking a few meters, he turned his head and shouted, "Hey, what are you waiting for? I'm almost hungry." ”

Under Joyka's turmoil, this little episode is over. Everyone got on their own sleigh and headed for the city below. Ray's sleigh was in penultimate place, followed by a Ukrainian on horseback. Ray's face was unnoticed, and he made himself look the same as usual, in order to hide his true thoughts. On the back of Lei's right hand, the place where he was bitten by the worm corpse was wrapped in a layer of bandages, and the skin around the wound under the bandage had already appeared fish scale-like protrusions, which only Lei himself knew.

The River is a small north-south river that carries water from the mountains in the north to a jasper-like lake on the southern outskirts of the city, dividing the tranquil city of healing into east and west. The riverbed is not deep and only accommodates small boats such as canoes. A small boat that can only take two people, relying on the propulsion of the current to slowly drift south. Julien Rousseau sat on the boat and watched in silence at the growing crowds on both sides of the river, as the lazy city began to wake up in the morning.

After that private outing, Julian kept his promise and never left Serena's residence again, but the cold atmosphere between him and Serena did not ease in the slightest, and the two barely communicated at all, even when they ate at the same table, they were silent, and it was not at all comparable to the rapport with Hagen before. At first, Julian thought it was Selena's personal temperament, but later he found out that Selina really hated him so much that she wouldn't talk to him. Julian had no way of knowing why Selina hated him, it was an attitude he had before he went out privately, and he had no intention of searching for answers. Now he cares about only two things: first, to rescue Frey, and second, to rescue Hagen and "Jack", who have been arrested by Daiyu.

However, Selina's delay in taking action made Julian a little worried, but Serena's attitude towards him discouraged him from asking Selena. Julian had no choice but to wait. Finally, the wait paid off. Early this morning, Serena ended her days of silence and said to Julian, "Come with me." ”

The boat went south along the Spring Bird River, and it was very quiet, Julian did not ask any questions to Selina, who was in charge of the boat, and in this silent atmosphere the boat unconsciously entered the small lake on the southern outskirts of the city, crossed the mirror-like lake, and landed on a small island in the middle of the lake.

This small island in the lake is a chicken farm that produces more than 300 eggs a day for a nearby nursing home. The chicken farm is not small, but there is only one old man at work. "You're finally here. The old man saw Selina, but he did not put down the dustpan in his hand, and talked while feeding the chickens.

"Has anyone else arrived?" asked Selina.

"It's just the two of you. ”

"Oh...... Elm, the outer guard is for you. ”

"Come on in, there's not much time. In the course of this brief conversation, the old man, whom Selina calls "Elm", never looked at Selina and Julian, and just dried the feed to the hen flock on his own.

Selina walked directly into a wooden chicken coop and came to a wooden rack for storing dustpans, she grabbed one of the legs of the wooden frame, and twisted it very skillfully, and the wooden frame automatically moved away, revealing a Hessesen tunnel on the ground where the wooden frame was located. Serena glanced at Julian who was following closely behind, and said to him with her eyes: "Follow me" For Selina, it was a waste to say a word to Julian, and she didn't care if Julian didn't understand, so she turned around and walked down the tunnel. In the past few months, Julian has been accustomed to these secret doors, and he shook his head with a wry smile and followed Selina's steps inside.

When the figures of the two completely disappeared into the tunnel, the floor and wooden frame automatically restored.

The old man, known as "Elm", laid down his dustpan and, without saying a word, stepped onto the boat in which Selina and Julian were riding, propped it up to a densely wooded shore, and hid it in the bushes. In that place, there were also 7 or 8 identical boats docked.
