The night soaked the mountains and forests, and the sky and the earth were shrouded in darkness. Under the cold moonlight, you can see some glowing plants in the mountain forest beginning to emit various colors of glow. Looking from the sky, the mountains and forests are not completely dark, but dyed with blue, red, purple and green fluorescent. Of course, the brightest light was the fire in the caravan camp, and several fires were blazing with bonfires, almost dyeing the sky red. The beasts of this world are not afraid of fire and light, on the contrary, too bright a fire will attract the attention of some wild beasts. Anyone who has been walking the wilderness for many years knows that if you don't have enough strength to protect yourself, it's best not to light a fire at night. If you want to make a fire, you have to find a cave to hide it, and you are afraid of attracting the attention of dangerous beasts.

At this moment, in the dense forest far away from the camp, there were quietly more eyes of different colors, which wandered and wandered in the mountains like ghosts, and occasionally stopped, they would watch the fire in the direction of the camp. It's just that there are many beasts circling around the camp, but none of them dare to pounce. The animal's instincts made them smell danger, especially in the eyes of some fierce beasts who were particularly sensitive to source power, and they could clearly see the countless flickering sparks floating in the camp.

Those sparks seem faint, but they give the beast the danger of causing a prairie fire at any moment, so these clever guys tend to take a detour after only a few glances. Because they know that there is something in the camp that they can't afford to provoke.

Alan circled the camp and returned to the campfire. He let out a few breaths of his own along the way, enough to scare off the beasts of the night. This method is common when living with wolves, where snow wolves patrol their territory. The difference is that they leave behind their own scent.

By this time, the wild boar had been roasted, and Fareth and Rick were cutting off the slices of roasted meat with long knives and distributing them to each other. The size of the wild boar in the mountains and forests is not small, but the hundred or so people have been divided all at once, and even Alan has only been divided into a few pieces, which is not much more than that of ordinary soldiers. The wild boar meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, constantly dripping with oil, exuding an attractive meaty aroma. Alan was just about to feast, but it was dark in front of him, and someone was standing in front of him blocking the fire.

His gaze first fell on the two long straight legs, and as his gaze raised, he saw a perfectly curved waist. Then there were a pair of tall twin peaks, and then there was Elise's somewhat angry face. She threw the plate containing the barbecue at Allen's feet and shouted, "What is this?" Wild boar? Something that only untouchables eat! I've had enough, you've spent so many days in that damn dark place, and now you're giving me this hard-to-swallow food! It's an insult to me, listen. I want bread, milk, jam, and fruits and vegetables from the car. I don't ask for a big dinner, but at least, give someone something to eat! ”

Seeing Elise, Alan remembered such a person. After entering the Dark Lands, Elise and Edward stayed together in the stockade of the Dark Spear. After that, Alan made an appointment with Joey, received two thieves from Wolf Warrior and Black Feather, and gathered a group of thieves, almost non-stop to deal with one thing after another, but forgot about Elise. It was only now that the haughty woman was standing before him again that he remembered that he had promised to escort Elise to Sardinia City.

Elise's proud woman's background is certainly not simple, as can be seen from the fact that she can be treated as a guest by Horn. But what she is doing now is no longer pride, but arrogance. Allen's face sank, and there was a little more chill in his eyes, he slowly tore off the roast meat on his plate, slowly put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, his eyes were fixed on Elise, and he saw a fire rise in the woman's eyes.

Her chest heaved dramatically, and to be honest, the sight was very tempting, but now the people at the fire didn't want to appreciate it. Everyone could tell that a storm was brewing, and the men were silently eating the roast meat on their plates, and no one was stupid enough to crash into the storm themselves. Elise's eyes almost burst into flames, since she was a child, no one dared to contradict her like Alan, and even made her embarrassed in public. Almost instinctively, she wiped her hand to her waist, and the red whip tied to her waist swept out, sweeping the plate in Alan's hand away. Alan snorted and reached out to grab the whip.

Elise tugged back, but the red whip didn't move in Alan's hand, just crumbled straight. She said angrily, "What do you mean? ”

Alan said coldly, "I should have asked you this sentence, honorable Miss Elise?" He stood up and said in a deep voice, "I don't care who you are or what kind of identity you have. But now that you're in my caravan, you'll have to follow my rules. If I assign you a roast, you don't want to eat it. That's okay, as long as you're willing to go hungry, no one cares if you eat those few pieces of barbecue or not. But please respect others, what is difficult for you to swallow may be food for others. You can skip it, but you can't spoil someone else's food! ”

Elise's chest heaved even more.

"Also, hasn't anyone taught you that respecting others is respecting yourself?" After Alan finished speaking, he let go of the whip. For someone like Elise, the power of those words was more painful than a few slashes at her.

Sure enough, Elise was like an angry lioness. She took out a purse from her coat and threw it at Allen's feet and shouted, "Don't be so righteous, I just won't eat you wild boar, bring me what I want, and the money will be yours." If it's not enough, I still have it here, how about it! ”

Alan shook his head and said, "Even if you give me more money, don't even think about buying a piece of bread." At least, in my case. ”

"You!" Elise trembled with anger, she said a few "yes", didn't even pick up the money bag, just turned around and left, and got into her tent.

Alan snorted, he hadn't seen someone of noble status. Not to mention far away, let's just say that Lucy's status as a princess of Idahuaxing is noble enough. No matter how big Elise is, can she be bigger than Lucy? He can tolerate a woman's pride, willfulness, and even the occasional unreasonableness. But if it's like Elise, then don't think he has a good face to show the other party.

Lucy next to her shook her head and smiled, "You are also making too much of a fuss." ”

"I'm just teaching her how to get along with people." Alan said disapprerovingly: "We still have two days to go to Sardinia, if we don't kill her majesty, you can stand it all the way, I can't stand it." ”

"I don't think she's a bad person, but it's just because of her temperament, or it's related to the environment in which she grew up. In those days when she was in the Black Wood Forest, this Miss Elise had taught Abel a few martial arts moves, and I didn't see how domineering she was at that time. It's just that I don't have that much patience, but it's really ......," Lucy said, tilting her head.

Abel next to him also nodded, and the young man touched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "I don't blame Miss Elise for being impatient, I'm stupid, I can't remember so much at once." ”

Alan sighed and said, "Blame me for that?" ”

"It's your fault, you're a man. Just accept it when you see it, she's a woman after all, and she always has to give her the stairs, doesn't she? Let her be embarrassed in front of everyone, and I will be angry if I change it. Lucy picked up the money bag on the ground, put it in Alan's hand and said, "Go and give her back, and bring her something to eat by the way." Are you really going to make her hungry? This is not a gentleman's doing. ”

"Okay, okay, I listen to you, Your Highness." Alan bowed exaggeratedly, picked up his purse and left.

He came to Elise's tent, and by the light of the fire in the tent he could see the woman sitting in it sulking. Alan put the money bag and the dinner plate with a few pieces of barbecue on the grass, and said, "I put the money and barbecue here for you, it's still the same sentence, it's up to you to eat it or not." There's just one thing I don't spit out, Miss Elise, not everyone is as noble and well-dressed as you. What I just said was not even smooth, at least until I was ten years old. A piece of barbecue that you can't look at, but I can fight for it! ”

The figure in the tent shook obviously, and Alan didn't wait for her to answer, and left after speaking.

After a moment, a hand reached out of the tent. First she took the money bag back, and then Elise in the tent hesitated before reaching out again and taking the plate of barbecue. She first put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, and then tore off a small strip of shredded meat, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

The next day the caravan set up camp and continued towards the city of Sardinia. On this day, Elise was still full of pride, and she didn't take the initiative to get close to anyone. It's just that she eats whatever is given to her today, and she doesn't lose her temper like she did last night. Lucy saw it in her eyes and said to Alan with a smile: "Look, the eldest lady's temper has been restrained a lot. ”

Alan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whatever she wants, anyway, when it comes to Sardinia, there will be nothing to do with me." ”

On this day, the caravan left the mountains and forests and turned into the relatively gentle plains. In the evening, the caravan set up camp on a low slope to rest. After dinner, everyone went back to their tents to rest in order to regain their strength and continue their journey tomorrow. I don't know how long I slept, but Eren suddenly opened his eyes. He didn't hear anything out of the ordinary, but he had a gut feeling that something was going to happen.

Almost at the same time, Edward's voice rang out outside the tent: "Hurry up, we have a guest coming." ”

Edward's tone was heavy, and it was clear that he was not a good person. Alan picked up the Red King, got out of the tent and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Just now, a bronze blade of You Ge came to report, about a hundred miles to the northwest, and a horse team is coming towards us."

"Horse team? In the middle of the night, it shouldn't be a business trip on the road. ”

Edward snorted, "Of course not, what have you seen a caravan rushing in the middle of the night?" What's more, according to the copper blade report, all the other party's war horses are wrapped in cloth hooves, this is a typical style of thieves, right? And the other party has a clear goal, pointing directly at us. I've asked Faress to prepare, and it looks like it's going to be quite lively tonight. ”
