The morning sun shines on the mysterious and beautiful valley. Vikily can be awakened by the movement coming from the stove.

"Ah, I'm sorry to disturb your dreams. Breakfast was ready right away. Igor said with a smile, he probably hadn't laughed in a long time, the stiff muscles squeezed the folds of his face a little deeper, he must have been boiling some strange vegetable porridge again.

Vikiriko opened the back door sleepily, went to the yard, and brought a bucket of water from the well to wash her face. She looked at the valley in the early morning, and sure enough, as Igor had said, the giant had been gone for some time, and only the poor sheep were still huddled together in the sheepfold out of fear.

"Although there is still a lot I want to talk to you about, I think it is better not to delay your trip, and it is better to hurry up and hit the road after eating! If Diego's men know that you've been here, who knows what they'll come up with. ”

Igor handed the wooden bowl with the vegetable porridge to the two of them. Draenor looked at the cloudy liquid in the bowl and almost threw it up, but that would be rude, so he had to drink it.

"I'm starting to miss Jeanne's broth......" Draenor muttered to herself, and Vichery kicked him.

"Hahaha, normal. I don't think many people like this swill-like food, but it turns out to be really good for my health. Igor smiled and picked up the wooden bowl and swallowed the porridge into his stomach with a big gulp.

After dinner, Igor left the hut with the two and sent them to the middle of the valley.

"I'm sorry, I'll have to send you here, and if you go any further, you know...... Rumble! The old man smiled wryly and gestured to Vickyri, but Draenor was confused.

"Remember what I said, as long as you go to the emperor's private domain, no one will dare to do anything to you. Have a nice trip, young friends! ”

The two turned and waved in response to Igor's farewell.

"What a strange old man......" Draenor said before he could turn around.

"At least, he's not as cold as he seems, and he's done us a great favor." Vicky said.

The two of them walked north along the tree-covered mountain road, as Igor had said. Gradually, the sounds of animals rang out in their ears, and they knew they had left the valley that was shrouded in dead silence.

The sun moved to the center of the sky, and it was time to stop and rest. Vikiriko lit the fire and went out into the woods in search of prey.

It was a rich foothill, and Vickyli didn't walk a few steps before she spotted a few fat antelopes, but unexpectedly stepped on a rotten branch and made a noise, and the antelope immediately became alert and ran towards the depths of the forest.

"Tsk, bad luck!" Vicky immediately got up and chased after her. She was getting deeper and deeper into the forest, and she could barely smell the burnt smell of the campfire on Draenor's side, but the fat antelope meat was right in front of her, and she had to chase after it!

Vikily was racing through the forest after the big antelope, when she felt like she had kicked some strange rope, and a whirlwind ensued, and she was hung upside down in the air.

Out of the grass came four or five strong men covered in tattoos, clapping their hands as they walked towards Vicherik, who was hanging upside down in the air.

"Wonderful! It's fabulous! I wanted to catch an antelope to satisfy my hunger, but now I still have a little girl! But brothers, it seems that we can still 'satisfy our hunger' today! A lean man with long hair stepped forward and said.

"This little girl doesn't look ordinary!" Another brawny man slowly approached Viklico, grabbed her by the throat, and carefully studied her face.

"Wow! Brothers, today can be considered developed, we have captured a nobleman of Nikanlos! The man shouted to the crowd.

"Aristocrats! Look at this thin skin and tender meat, that is, a girl in her teens! The man with a broken arm also approached Vickyrico and said, "Fortunately, Miss Royal." Thanks to you, we have been able to fall to this frontier! ”

It's a problem, and although it's not clear where they came from, these people must be bad people. Vikilic's mouth was firmly covered by the strong man, she only carried a simple spear, and there were no other tools to defend herself, and the spear was also thrown to the ground by her, the situation really couldn't be worse!

Viklico opened her mouth and bit the strong man's jaw, so painful that he quickly withdrew his arm.

"Shhh...... Damn it, brothers, watch out! This tender rose is thorny. The strong man said, pulling out a dagger with a cold light from behind him.

"It seems that you have to remove your chin before it can be convenient for the brothers!"

Vikily watched as the man's approaching body struggled desperately in the air.

Suddenly, for a moment, Vikli was sure she saw someone pop up and pull a bandit into the grass.

"Harriel? Harrier!? Damn, where did you go? The strong man sensed the anomaly behind him, and he turned around, only to find that one of his companions had disappeared.

"Harrier! Hell, don't joke around at times like this! Why are you stunned, the prey in hand won't fly away! Get me to Harrier! The strong man gradually lost his previous spirit, and he panicked and called the people to find the evaporated Harriel.

And he heard the other men screaming one by one, the situation was so wrong, could it be that some ghost dragged them to hell?

"Harrier! Victor! Hunter! Damn it, what the hell are you guys doing! The brawny man stepped back in a panic, and he jerked around and aimed his dagger at Viklico's throat.

"Listen, if this is some kind of trick of yours, I advise you to stop the loss in time! Hurry up and return my brothers, if there is one with less arms and legs, I will never let you go!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a pitch-black figure flashed from the grass and threw the strong man to the ground, the man wrapped his arms around the strong man's head and pulled it hard, making a crisp sound of bone cracking, and the strong man dropped the dagger he was holding tightly and stopped struggling.

The mysterious figure was covered in patterns, like the camouflage of a hunter. And when the man turned, Vikli was so surprised that she almost cried out.

"Jeanne! Why are you here?! ”

Draenor waited anxiously around the campfire, Viklico had been gone for more than two hours, far beyond her promise. Just as he was contemplating whether to go to the woods to find her, Vicchily appeared in front of Draenor with Jeanne.

"Jeanne? What's going on? For some reason, Draenau's heart was filled with joy when he saw Jeanne, and he didn't know why.

"Hello...... Mr. Delaenau, we meet again......" Jeanne suddenly lost her domineering spirit in the forest, and lowered her head and did not dare to look Draenor in the eyes.

"She's been following us for three or four days, and I can't convince her, so it looks like she'll have to listen to you." Vicili said helplessly, she never expected Jeanne to remember what she said before, "If you have something you want to pursue, be brave enough to chase it!" "Who would have thought that this simple girl would be taken seriously.

"It's a long story...... After consulting with the Patriarch and Mother Kakia, they also agreed that I should leave the tribe and follow in your footsteps. I thought you would need more people on the road, and I'm very capable and will help you! Jeanne hurriedly explained to the two.

"So you left the tribe and followed us for so long?" Draenor couldn't imagine how such a young girl could have quietly followed her so far for so long. But as it turned out, she was indeed capable, strong and agile, a natural hunter.

"I want you to think clearly, Jeanne, we could be in danger at any moment. I'm grateful for your help, but I don't want to expose you to any more threats. Viklily took Jeanne's hands and told her what she thought.

"You're right, Vicky. We don't have the right to ask an innocent person to suffer with us, but Jeanne is right, we need a reliable teammate. Jeanne is already a mature girl, and I respect her ideas. Draenor made his point to Vicilico in a serious manner.

"Alas...... You've heard that, and since you're all thinking so, there's nothing for me to say. But Jeanne, I want you to remember, never act on your own initiative, and try not to put yourself in danger as much as possible. Vicilico shrugged her shoulders and accepted Jeanne's request.

"Thank you, Mr. Delaenau! Thank you, Miss Vicky! I'll definitely try my best! Jeanne was as happy as a happy wolf cub, just like a wagging tail.

Jeanne's arrival has brought many benefits to the two of them, she is a natural hunter at heart, and she can efficiently take down any prey she can see in the forest. This also proves that she is exactly the powerful combat power that the two of them need on their journey.

Night soon fell, and everyone sat around the campfire, and Jeanne cooked her own roasted antelope meat.

"To be honest, I'm glad I'm happy to have you on board, you're smart and capable, and you can easily solve it whether it's hunting or fighting bandits. Having said that, I'm still very concerned about the identity of those gangsters. Vicky said.

"Thank you, Miss Vicky, for the compliments, I am familiar with those gangsters, they are forest bandits who wander the land, often robbing people, our tribe was attacked by them during a migration, but fortunately we had the upper hand and drove them into the mountains north of the Gerick Forest. When I saw you hunting alone, I suspected that I might encounter them, so I simply chased after you. ”

Jeanne politely and patiently answered Viklico's question. Vicky didn't look away, this girl was honest and beautiful, and would be a reliable partner.

After the meal, Draenor fell asleep sleepy. Just as Vicky said goodnight and was about to lie down, Jeanne suddenly approached her.

"Miss Vicky, there's a question that has been bothering me, can you listen to me?"

Viklily was startled by Jeanne's actions, and she quickly sat up and responded to Jeanne's words.

"We're already partners, so we don't have to use honorific titles. As long as I can answer you, if you have any questions, just ask. ”

"Well, thank you, that's it...... That one worries me a lot......" Jeanne said and lowered her head, and Vikli could see that her face was red as a tomato again.

"That's it...... Nothing happened between you and Mr. Delanor, did it? You know, it's just that ...... thing," Jeanne covered her face after she finished speaking.

Hearing this, Vicchily felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she hurriedly explained to Jeanne.

"What? What about the file? You're kidding me! I'm a whole century older than that wolf cub! Even if it's like you said, it's not a year-old love! We even exceed the age difference of normal grandchildren! I beg you to stop thinking nonsense, silly boy! ”

Vicrico folded her hands and pleaded with Jeanne.

"We're really just partners, I'm still his savior, we're just good partners who have come all the way for the same goal!"

Jeanne breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on her face, and she shook Viklico's hands excitedly.

"That's great! Ah, I mean...... It's so sad......"

Vicilico grinned, and she reached out to touch Jeanna's smooth, soft black hair.

"Oh, Jeanne, I know you have a special affection for Draeno. But things always have to be slow step by step, not to mention that this guy's head is harder than a stone, and it still takes a lot of effort to make him enlightened. ”

Jeanne gradually calmed down, and she put her hands on her kneeling laps, her expression becoming melancholy.

"To be honest, I do have a heartfelt vision for Mr. Delaenau. You know that there are only a few men in the tribe, who know almost nothing but hunting, have no strategy, and are not good at words.

But Mr. Delanor, he's different, he's very urban, he's very humorous, and I feel fulfilled and relieved just by being around him. I'm twenty years old, and I'm about to get married and have children in the tribe. As you told me before, I want to make the most of the opportunity in front of me, and if I let him disappear from my life like this, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life. ”

Vikli was deeply touched by this innocent and kind girl, and she was truly in love with Draenor. Instead, it's Draenau's straight elm head, and Vickily can't help but feel sorry for Jeanne.

"It's okay, there's still a long way to go, and I'm sure Draenor will open up one day." Vikily comforts the innocent Jeanne. She felt that Jeanne was like a lone wolf in the group, an affectionate and brave lone wolf, who looked at the star she loved, and ran towards the light with all her might.

"Good boy, you've worked hard and hard so far, and I think a warm and comfortable good night's sleep is exactly what you need."

Jeanne smiled and nodded to Viklico, returning to her humble bed made of animal skins and falling into a beautiful dream.
