Chapter 14: The Evidence of the Forest

"Qin Yan, what a strange name," Lucy was full of curiosity about the boy named Qin Yan in front of her.

"I don't think it's a weird name. In response to the doubts from Lucy, Qin Yan did not hesitate to fight back.

Hearing Qin Yan's words, Lucy said angrily, "You are so rude, you actually say that my name is strange, you... You... He even licked my hand. At this, Lucy's face blushed slightly.

"Obviously, you said that my name was strange first, as for your hands, although they smell good, they really don't taste very good, a little bitter," Qin Yan, who was a straight man, defended mercilessly.

"Hmph~ You are so ungentlemanly, no girl like you would like to be friends with you. With that, Lucy turned and walked deeper into the forest.

But after a few steps, she saw the Devil's Back Boar lying on the ground in front of her, and it was staring at Lucy with its big eyes.

At this time, Qin Yan walked over from behind, and when he saw Lucy stopped there, he asked, "What's wrong? Why don't you leave?"

Lucy raised her hand tremblingly, pointed at the demon-backed boar and said, "It~ Why didn't it die?"

"Of course it's not dead, and I don't plan to eat it, why kill it?" Qin Yan put his head behind his head and said as a matter of course.

"But when it gets up, it will kill us. Seeing Qin Yan's indifferent appearance, Lucy hurriedly reminded.

"No, it's very well-behaved. After Qin Yan finished speaking, he came to the wild boar's side, took out a sharp knife from his waist, and cut the rope that trapped the wild boar.

Lucy couldn't believe her ears, and when Qin Yan pulled out the knife, Lucy was too late to stop it.

I saw that the wild boar after getting out of trouble slowly stood up from the ground and sniffed at Qin Yan.

Just when Lucy thought the boar would attack them again, the boar snorted and turned around and burrowed into the woods.

Lucy ran to Qin Yan's side with an incredulous expression, looked at him like a monster and asked, "Qin Yan, how did you do it?"

"I didn't do anything, I said it was very well-behaved" Qin Yan shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"No way, it was fierce when it attacked me just now, didn't you see it too?" Lucy didn't believe Qin Yan's words at all, she felt that Qin Yan must have used some means to let this wild boar leave.

"Of course they're going to attack you, because you don't have this. After Qin Yan finished speaking, he untied a pendant from his waist.

The ornament looks very simple, like a handful of animal hair, the hair is golden, and it will become shiny in the sun, and it looks extremely beautiful, even Lucy, who is a nobleman, can't tell what kind of animal hair it is.

With a look of desire, Lucy looked at the charm and asked, "What is this?"

"This is the proof of the forest, it was given to me by my aunt, as long as I have it, the animals of the forest will not attack me. Qin Yan said proudly.

After all, he was just a child, and when he saw Lucy showing off the magic necklace before, Qin Yan was also a little envious.

Now that he has such a good opportunity to show off his ornaments, how could Qin Yan let it go.

Although Lucy wanted the proof of the forest very much, the cultivation of the nobles made her not speak, she just glanced at the pendant from time to time, thinking that she would make a replica to hang on her body when she returned.

Her careful thinking may not be able to hide from an adult, but Qin Yan is still just a child who has not been deeply involved in the world, and he has not seen through Lucy's thoughts.

Seeing that Lucy was not as envious of her ornament as she expected, Qin Yan also felt a little bored, so he tied the ornament back to his waist and asked, "Since you don't even have a certificate of the forest, why did you come here?"

"I didn't want to come to such a dangerous place, I just came here to play, but my horse was frightened and brought me here in a panic. Lucy said pitifully.

"You're here to play, you're a visitor to the forest?"

Hearing Qin Yan's question, Lucy nodded and replied, "Yes, I only entered the forest this morning, and I got lost before noon, and Richard is gone, I may never be able to go back, woo~woo~woo~"

The more Lucy spoke, the more sad she became, and at last she burst into tears.

Seeing Lucy crying so sadly, Qin Yan just wanted to step forward to comfort her, but at this moment, a strange smell wafted over.

Qin Yan smelled this unfamiliar smell, hurriedly stepped forward, covered Lucy's mouth with one hand, and pressed Lucy's head into his arms with the other.

Lucy was taken aback by Qin Yan's sudden move, and while she didn't know what to say, she struggled desperately to break free from Qin Yan's control.

"Shh~~ Don't make a sound, it seems that something strange is coming. Qin Yan whispered to Lucy in his arms.

Hearing Qin Yan's words, Lucy didn't dare to struggle anymore, she opened her eyes wide, pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the sounds around her, but she didn't hear anything.

"No, you can't stay here, since you're a tourist, I'll take you back to the forest pathway, and then you can walk along the road, and you should be able to return home." Qin Yan felt that the smell was getting closer and closer, so he directly took Lucy's hand and left here.

Not long after the two children left, Richard emerged from the woods, his clothes had been torn by the branches, and his neatly combed hair was also wet with sweat and urine, and hung down in a mess.

As soon as Richard got out of the woods, he saw the wreckage of the carriage that had been reduced to a pile of debris, and Richard ran into the wreckage of the carriage in a panic and rummaged through it.

At this point, he was very conflicted, he hoped that he could find the young lady immediately, but he did not want to see her appear in the pile of wreckage.

After Richard rummaged through the wreckage for nearly ten minutes, he still did not find the whereabouts of his young lady, and at this time, the heart that was originally hanging slowly relaxed.

Just as Richard breathed a sigh of relief, a demon-backed boar appeared in front of him.

The boar looked at Richard curiously, it couldn't understand why the scent of a high-level magical beast appeared on a human.

And when Richard saw the wild boar, the whole person fell into an ice cave.

Just because, he saw the fragments of his own lady's clothes on the fangs of the wild boar, just imagine how a little girl who was only five years old could escape under the attack of such a behemoth.

Richard's endless grief made him almost lose his mind, only to see him wipe his brooch and a three-foot-long thin sword appear in his hand.

At this moment, perhaps only by killing the ugly and stupid monster in front of him can he comfort his young lady's spirit in the sky.

Thinking of this, Richard pointed his toes on the ground and rushed straight towards the demon-backed boar.

On the other side, Qin Yan was holding Lucy's hand and shuttling through the woods.

But Lucy didn't resist, just followed behind Qin Yan with a blushing face.

Although Lucy doesn't know anything about love, this is the first time she has been held by a stranger, and even Lucy herself can't explain this feeling.

The two children ran for a while before stopping at a stream, and Qin Yan pointed to the stream and said, "Take a break here, that smell didn't follow." ”

Lucy obediently sat down by the stream, and she asked Qin Yan curiously, "You just said that something came over, what is it?"

"Well, it's supposed to be a high-level magical beast, but I've never smelled that in the forest. Qin Yan nodded and said.

Hearing Qin Yan's words, Lucy became even more curious, she pointed to Qin Yan's ornament and asked, "Didn't you say that as long as you have that, you won't be attacked by wild beasts?"

Qin Yan looked at his ornament in the direction of Lucy's finger, and then said with a little embarrassment, "Yes, as long as it is a beast in the forest, it will not hurt me, but I am worried that this high-level demonic beast is not a beast in this forest." ”

"Where did that come from?"

"I think it could be that nearby poachers tamed the high-level magical beasts that helped them poach. Qin Yan guessed.

"Poachers in such a dangerous place?" asked Lucy, surprised.

"Of course, and it's a group of bad guys who are not weak, and every once in a while they will poach in the forest, kill the prey they can defeat, and try their best to steal some cubs back when they encounter the prey they can't defeat. After speaking, Qin Yan slammed his fist on the ground.

"Then they're really bad, then your forest evidence is useless against those tamed monsters?"

Hearing Lucy's questioning, Qin Yan hurriedly explained, "Of course not, it is still useful for beginner and intermediate beasts, but not necessarily for advanced ones. Qin Yan's voice became smaller and smaller, and his tone became more and more empty.

Seeing Qin Yan's embarrassment, Lucy felt very happy inexplicably, only to see her say to Qin Yan with a smile on her face, "Since that's the case, then let's go, lest those villains catch up." ”

"Yes, if they come, I won't be able to beat them, but if my aunt is here, I'm afraid none of these people will want to get out of the forest. With that, Qin Yan, who had finished resting, stood up again, and reached out to pull Lucy, who was still sitting on the ground.

Lucy was shyly pulled up by Qin Yan, and in order to hide the blush on her face, she quickly changed the topic and said, "By the way, you also mentioned your aunt before, I don't know where she is now?"

"She, she should be preparing lunch at home now, right?" Qin Yan said after thinking about it.

"At home, your home?"

"yes, my home. Regarding Lucy's question, Qin Wentian gave her an affirmative answer.

"Where is that, in the middle of this forest?" asked Lucy cautiously, after all, as a nobleman, it would be rude to ask such a private question to a stranger.

However, Qin Yan didn't think so, he naturally said, "Yes, my home is by the lake in the center of this forest, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will take you to my house to have a look." ”

"Center Lake, Center Lake?!" Lucy seemed to suddenly remember something.
