"Now, are you looking for someone?"

The elf-like girl bathed in the cold moonlight leaned down condescendingly and asked.

After being stunned, Arnold was displeased, and the burly swordsman with a careless face heard the evil hidden in the sweet appearance of the girl.

After Lydia came to her senses, unlike Arnold's concerns, out of women's intuition and their environment, the tall girl standing in the tree must be the "elf" that Jeff had seen!

Remembering that something had happened tonight, Lydia raised her hand and pointed the tip of her sword at the girl in the tree:

"You took George."

The girl's black hair is like sandalwood, her skin is fine and white than snow, and her facial features are softer than most human women Lydia has ever seen, and it is indeed a feature of her own, no wonder Jeff would identify her as an elf who has disappeared from the continent for thousands of years.

The night breeze blew the hem of the black-haired girl's fiery fox fur cape, and Lydia felt that when the other laughed, her eyes were slightly raised and her eyes were full of a mysterious smile, and Jeff was blind to mistake her for a natural druid elf with a gentle temperament.

The problem is that the girl who suddenly appeared in the moonlight, Lydia can't confirm whether she is human or not.

"You are the one who instructed the monster to attack, our team members just accidentally broke into your territory, and you played us like this...... Don't you feel too undignified? ”

Lydia's long sword pointed at the top of the tree, and her thin face was righteous, making the girl in the banyan tree shake her head for a moment, it was really a strange familiarity, she actually saw another shadow from Lydia.

However, Liu Ci's daunting eyes turned into a sneer:

"Manners? I am neither a gentleman who pursues you, nor a nobleman who holds his own identity, and what do I do with demeanor. The tongue finally became smooth, and the jerky Xiyi language was slowly being adapted to by Liu Ci, and her eyes flashed, "Why don't you talk about your demeanor when you are discussing behind your back to catch me for auction?" ”

Lydia was speechless for a moment, wanting to catch the other party and go to the auction, obviously Jeff was whimsical alone, she had already eliminated Jeff from the team in accordance with the rules of the adventurer, and it was considered an explanation to the other party, where did she know that Liu Ci, a person from another world, stayed with the big monster who did whatever he wanted after crossing over, what "rules" were just formulated by the strong and followed by the weak in Liu Ci's eyes.

Liu Ci can appreciate Lydia's decisiveness, but it doesn't mean that she wants to recognize the other party's "overtures".

The arrogant temperament cultivated in the first twenty years has been fixed, and he refuses to bow to fate even when he crosses into the primeval forest, and it is even more impossible for Liu Ci to bow to anyone other than the sky.

The other party's accusation is very unreasonable, if she is weak and has no wolf god as a backstage, she is really caught by the adventure team, and when she accuses twice, will the other party let her go? Miss Ci's tsundere attribute flares up, which dilutes a lot of her good feelings for the female captain Lydia.

"The mouth grows on you, you have a point in saying it, now that it has happened, I love face more than the sky, either you go and kill that short man who is talking nonsense, or you don't ask about your brother's whereabouts."

After Liu Ci finished speaking, he was about to jump off the branch and leave, when he suddenly turned his head and said with a smile:

"I advise you two not to follow them, the monsters on the mountain are not as easy to talk as I am!"

Liu Ci jumped a few times on the top of the trees in the forest, and the red figure disappeared into the moonlight.

Lydia's face turned pale with anger, what a moonlight elf girl, it was clearly an unreasonable "demon" hiding in the Moloch Forest.

Arnold hesitated, trying to catch up, but this time Lydia stopped him.

"She's from a suspicious background, don't go."

In the conversation, Lydia had been tempted, and Liu Ci did not deny the night attack of the demonic beasts, before she appeared on the top of the banyan tree silently, she couldn't tell whether it was a magician or a swordsman, Lydia didn't want Arnold to lose her life recklessly.

"Since she let us choose, it means that George is still alive, and you can rest assured."

In fact, what is there to choose, one is injured and one is missing, and there are only three sane people left in the team. Privately, George is Lydia's younger brother, and Arnold personally hates Jeff; As far as Gong is concerned, George is a magician that Lydia has cultivated with great difficulty, and Jeff has no benefit to the development of the adventure team except for lazy income.

The snowflakes fell on Lydia's face and turned into snow, wetting the golden curls that hung down next to her cheeks, clinging to her thin cheeks, making Lydia look embarrassed.

What's even more embarrassing is that Liu Ci didn't just ask Jeff to die, but asked her to kill him with her own hands.

Not saving the seriously injured Jeff and killing it with your own hands are completely two choices with very different degrees.

Lydia and Arnold silently walked back to the camp.

A few of the monsters were gone, and honest Uncle Sam was boldly bandaging Jeff.

The short man looked covered in blood, but in fact it was a skin wound that adventurers were accustomed to. Winter wounds are also not easy to suppurate, and it is relatively easy to save them if they are well recuperated.

Seeing Lydia and Arnold returning, Uncle Sam hurriedly stood up and bandaged Jeff himself, although the captain expelled him from the team, didn't he also go to save him?

"George'......"

Uncle Sam saw that Lydia's face was wrong, and suddenly remembered that George, who had fallen into the ice river, did not come back with him.

Arnold uncharacteristically reassured: "George was saved. "If you want Lydia to take Jeff's life, the burly swordsman silently added in his heart.

He thought he knew Lydia, but the situation in front of him had never been met, and Arnold didn't know what Lydia was going to choose.

Will she bear to kill Jeff with her own hands?

Lydia saw that Uncle Sam was about to stop talking, and she felt deeply tired.

Brother and Jeff, of course, she can tell who is heavier and who is heavier, but it is one thing to get rid of Jeff, to kill him with her own hands, as George said, Aunt Jones's appearance will always dangle in front of her eyes.

No, she had to think about it.

Tonight was destined to be sleepless, and Uncle Sam lit the fire again.

Lydia kept staring at the firelight, thoughtful.

…………

Liu Ci quickly returned to the stone house, and there was still the residual fragrance of the mutton pot in the dining room. The silver wolf sent a few magical beasts that had made a cameo appearance, shook off a snowflake and entered the house, and saw that the crystal wall light was on, and Liu Ci's slender knuckles were clasped on the table, and there was no pair of them hitting the table.

"Why, the adventure team didn't treat you as a savior from the sky?"

Liu Ci glanced at the silver wolf, and said embarrassedly that the "extras" who I didn't know where to find were not professional at all, which made her suddenly want to change the play, which was very passive.

However, the tsundere dissipated, and Liu Ci felt that the changed script seemed to be more fun.

After listening to Liu Ci's speech, the timing of the original appearance as planned was disturbed by the young magician's unplanned overboard, and after she also saved the human boy, the silver wolf's face turned a little imperceptibly dark. This routine sounds familiar, isn't it the one mentioned by the coo-cuckoo bird, the "hero saves beauty" of human society?

It circled around the room, even through the underground storage room, but there was still no sign of the young male human.

"Hey, where did you hide that man?"

Seeing that the wolf god jumped up and down to find someone to no avail, Liu Ci looked at it with a pitiful expression of "Are you eating too much mutton and sticking your brain":

"I don't know him, can I just take a stranger home like talk?"

The word "home", with indescribable warmth, the black face of the wolf god was just flattened, blinking and distorted: "Don't you want the human female swordsman to make a choice, this weather will leave the seriously ill magicians in the wild, their physique is too poor, and they will die easily." ”

It's nothing to kill a person, so that Liu Ci can't fulfill his words, and the silver wolf feels that his reputation is not good.

Liu Ci waved his hand heroically, "I can't die, the little magician is having a fever, and he can cool down if he freezes." ”

Speaking of which, the blonde captain Lydia should be grateful to her, she was injured inside and outside the ice and snow, and if it weren't for her carrying a life-saving talisman with her, the little magician wouldn't have been able to survive for two days.

In the end, the silver wolf did not ask about the whereabouts of the young magician.

As bad as Liu Ci, when Lydia and the three of them opened their eyes until dawn, she took a beautiful bath and slept very soundly all night.

Outside the "glass window" made of the whole crystal mine, the sky gradually brightened.

The campfire guarded by the adventure party was gradually extinguished, and Jeff, who had done the bleeding bandage, lay by the fire, and Lydia looked at him with a complicated expression.

Although the breath is very weak, Jeff is really alive.

And Lydia made a choice.

"Let's go, let's go up the mountain."

Lydia put her sword on her back, stood up and patted the snowflake on her knee, motioning for Arnold to carry Jeff on her back, and the four of them went up the mountain together.

Uncle Sam licked his mouth, but didn't say anything.

The morning sun leaps out between the Moroch mountains, dyeing the white and green forests with a layer of orange.

Lydia opened the way with her broadsword in hand, Arnold followed behind him with Jeff on her back, and Sam looked uneasy and looked around along the way.

Except for the birds that were spared, this is really a calm and safe mountain, and Jeff's previous "kidnapping plan" described the general direction of the stone house, and Lydia recognized the direction and hurried away.

The river beach was half a day away from the stone house, and the three of Lydia were not familiar with the road, so they went around a lot of circles.

By the time Lydia and the others found the stone house, the sun had sunk in the west.

Tired and hungry, the three of them saw the smoky stone houses from afar, the bamboo pavilions covered with snow on the rooftops, and the doors and windows were all architectural styles they had never seen before.

There were still some crop stalks left in the snow, a livestock pen was built a little further away from the stone house, and the girl wearing a red fox fur to feed the chickens was very out of tune with the style of the small farm, and Lydia couldn't tell which was the true face of Liu Ci between the bad girl she saw last night and the person who was doing farm work leisurely today.

You must know that in the Magic Continent, the magician is respected, the swordsman is second, the supremacy of strength is respected, the nobles are supported by fiefdoms, and the untalented commoners do more small business, and there are really very few people who look for a way out in the land.

The land of the nobles is all cultivated by slaves, and with Liu Ci's strength, hiding in the depths of the Moloch Mountains to farm, Lydia can't figure it out if she wants to break her head.

However, seeing Liu Ci put down the basket in his hand, Lydia still remembered her intentions.

"Please return my brother."

Liu Ci raised his eyebrows, and when he heard this, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or faintly disappointed, "You have already made a choice, so you want to bring that red-haired short man to my house and kill him personally?" ”

Hearing the unconcealed sarcasm in Liu Ci's tone, Lydia shook her head:

"No matter who I kill, I will regret it in the future......"

Liu Ci shook his head and sighed, "Both of you want to protect, you are too greedy." ”

Lydia took two steps forward, pursed her lips and took two steps forward, and said a word with an expressionless face, and finally called Liu Ci as bad, and was slightly moved.

- Who was it like in that moment? That familiar feeling reminded Liu Ci of the stern and fair sister-in-law.

Many years later, she chatted with Silver Wolf, who asked her why she had to be so provocative about dealing with the humans she first met in the Atlas.

Liu Ci replied, because of loneliness.

In fact, there is another reason why she never said that there is a kind of person who sticks to the bottom line, has a character that is too rigid and easy to break, and Liu Aci, who was eaten by a dog with three views, may not be able to make the same choice in her life, but it does not prevent her from choosing a partner, she loves people with a bottom line more.

Lydia is.
