"Your concerns are valid, but I don't think it will."

Xia said this for a reason.

Aside from the question of trust, there is actually a master-servant contract between her and the lich.

Although it was easy for the lich to break through it, it was impossible to do it quietly, and once it began to break through the constraints of the contract, she, the master, would immediately feel it, and it was impossible for the other party not to know about it.

"If it's okay, it's best, I'll keep an eye on it on the road."

Knowing that the silver-haired captain didn't like to doubt his partner, Sadonan didn't say anything more and left with his staff.

"Sadonan seems to have a lack of trust in his companions."

Natsu watched him walk back to the camp, stood where he was, and whispered to himself, "Could it have something to do with his experience on the island...... Who is the great nobleman who wants to harm him? ”

"Master, eat something and get some good sleep, I have to go tomorrow."

The little Lori in black appeared next to her, as long as she didn't have any special tasks, she was by her master's side all the time.

"Let's go, go back."

Natsu felt a little irritable and took her back to his tent.

……

"Mom, I'm hungry."

A little girl hugged her mother and said in a delicate voice.

The mother, a woman with short black hair, saw her begging gaze, sighed, and got up from her chair.

"It's not time to eat yet, Tia."

She touched the little girl's hair lovingly:

"Have you forgotten what your mother said? We don't have much food left, and if we don't save a little, we probably won't survive this winter. ”

"Hmm."

The little girl touched her long, frozen ears and walked obediently to the window.

She knelt on the shabby stool and watched the children in thick clothes play outside the window, only to see them shouting happily one by one, running around in the cold wind, and there was no worry on their red faces.

"Mom."

The little girl asked, leaning on the windowsill:

"Why are the little kids out there so happy, don't they worry about hunger and cold?"

The mother was silent for a moment, then replied:

"They are human ......"

"But Mother, you're human too."

The little girl ran to her lap, pressed her face to her cold knees, and looked at her mother with those big shining eyes:

"Why is it so cold in our house and we don't have food yet?"

"I'm sorry...... Tia ......"

Her mother gently took her into her arms.

The warm embrace made the little girl forget about the question just now and enjoy snuggling with her mother.

"Tia, look."

A small flame suddenly appeared on the mother's finger:

"Wow, it's magic."

The little girl's eyes lit up as she looked at the flames.

"Hehe, although she is very weak, my mother is also an elemental magician."

Mother laboriously chanted a mantra, causing the small flame to float in the air, and the room became warm.

"Elemental mages are so powerful, I want to be a mage when I grow up!" The little girl leaned her cold blue face over and squinted her eyes.

"No, Tia."

Her mother said to her in a gentle voice:

"It must be remembered that you have to be ......"

The half-elf girl woke up from her dream.

She opened her eyes and stared at the tent's elaborate curtain, slowly lowering her hand to her face, blocking her somewhat moist eyes.

"Z-"

There was a faint sound outside, the tent being pulled apart.

The half-elf girl sat up from her cushion and quietly descended to the ground.

"It's Delia, she's gone out by herself."

Finding the back of the werewolf princess leaving, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Summer ......"

She leaned her back against the curtain and whispered the silver-haired girl's name.

"What a lazy guy, he hasn't gotten up yet."

She made her way to Natsu's tent, which was not closed, and from the outside she could see the stray silver hair, and a hand that still held the hilt of the sword while sleeping.

Standing there and watching quietly for a while, the half-elf girl walked in the direction where the werewolf princess had left.

"I'm sorry, Natsu."

Her heart was sour:

"I didn't tell you the truth......"

After walking a short distance, I saw Deria sitting on a rock in a daze.

A strange crystal floated in her hand, and a palpitating aura emanated from it, it was the mutilated godhead.

"Nana, why are you here?"

She quickly noticed someone approaching, looked up and saw that it was a half-elf girl, and said with a smile.

"It's almost time, I'm going to pack your bags for everyone."

Natyavida sat down beside her and pulled her long hair.

"It's time for my morning workout too."

The werewolf princess jumped off the stone, tucked the stuff in her hand into her chest, and stood there stretching.

"Lili baby, do you want to use that thing?"

Natya Vida asked:

"But Xia said it would be dangerous......"

"It's okay, I have a gut feeling that this thing won't kill people, at most it will just make me a waste."

The werewolf princess leaned sideways and said:

"When the time comes, I can let Xia take care of me, ahaha...... Although she can't take care of it for too long, the lifespan of human beings is limited after all. ”

After a while, it was found that the half-elf girl did not speak.

She turned her head in some surprise to find two lines of shining tears on the other man's face.

"yes......"

Natya Vida stretched out her hand and wiped her eyes, and said in a very low voice:

"Human lifespans are very short...... Even if she becomes a mainland powerhouse, it is impossible for her to stay with us forever. ”

Then she got up from the rock and reluctantly smiled at the werewolf princess:

"Let's go, let's go back, there's sand in my eyes just now."

"Huh? There's no sand here......"

The strange-looking werewolf princess was grabbed by her arm and dragged back to the camp half-forcedly.

After arriving at the camp, the silver-haired girl had already gotten up and was energetically directing the little Lori in black to put away the tent.

"Nana, what's on your face?"

She keenly spotted the tears on the half-elf girl's face.

"I hate it, don't look at it!"

Natia Vida turned her head to the side in disgust: "People just woke up, and their faces are ugly. ”

"How come, Nana, you've always been beautiful......"

Someone cheekily tried to turn his face back, but he was held down.

"Natsu, answer me a question."

Natya Vida suddenly whispered to her.

"Don't worry, I'll answer any question."

Xia gave up resistance and said helplessly.

There was a moment of silence in my mind.

Then the voice of the half-elf girl slowly sounded:

"If I die before you...... Will you be sad? ”R1152
