Chapter 66: The Vigil

Leti tried it at Lanorda's suggestion, and then experimented with her newfound ideas. Eventually, Lanorda's expression fell into thought, and Leti sat back on the floor, slightly tired, cared for by Rosette.

"I have some ideas...... But maybe you have to wait until the day to give it a try. Lanorda's brow tightened only slightly, "It's late today. ”

"Let's arrange for a night watch." Kyild looked away from Bianko's body, but he held the girl's hand tightly, "I'll come first, and I'll change to Wokan in the second half of the night." Tomorrow Letty will come first, and then I will come. ”

Leti didn't object, of course, and Wokan yawned and nodded, pulling Lanoda up from the ground. They had found a large cloak from the pouch - which had kept Wokan boasting for a long time, as he had insisted on carrying it under pressure from Kyild, "fearless of power".

Watching the four of them walk into the tent one after the other, Kryld turned to look at Bianco, who was still sitting by the fire and had no intention of getting up, and reached out and touched the top of her head.

"Why don't you go in and rest?" The heads of his men turned to look at him suspiciously, and Kyild raised an eyebrow at this, "You got into the bed as soon as you went back a few days ago, aren't you tired today?" When I left the capital, I didn't see you recognize the bed. ”

Bianko shook his head, the touch of his round head rubbing left and right in his palms made him feel a little itchy.

"I want to accompany the young master."

The girl's small, soft voice made his heart soften, and his hand slid down the girl's hair little by little, resting on her shoulder.

"But if you don't rest, you'll be out of energy tomorrow." Kyild said softly and in a low voice, "Although in the current situation, there is no need for you to do anything for the time being......

Biancole stared at him stunned, which made a subtle sense of weirdness rise in Kyalde's heart. He was vaguely sure that there was something on the girl's mind, but he didn't know what it was.

"......" Bianko curled herself up into a ball, looking down at the fire slightly, her voice barely audible, "Can't I be here?" ”

Bianco's expression was muffled by the drooping strands of hair, and Kyelder couldn't see it, but in this silence to the point of only the sound of burning fire, he could still hear the trace of loss in the girl's voice.

Kilde struggled with the fact that although the days here were unusually hot, the nights in the garden must be very cold in the current trend. He didn't know if it was due to the barrier, they hadn't been in the garden for that time the other day.

He just didn't want Bianko to suffer from this freeze. The girl's body has not been exercised, and her resistance to the cold is not very high. But it was clear that Biancole didn't want to go back to the tent alone.

"Well, since you stupid girl always doesn't appreciate it."

Kyild sighed helplessly, and he pulled a blanket out of the space bag - maybe he had a premonition that something like this would happen, which is why he wanted Wokan to take out his sword and put it beside him, and then leave the space bag for him.

Wokan's bag was stuffed with a lot of mess, just like he had dressed up on the day they set off from the capital, just a package for an outing. In this case, it came in handy, and he didn't even know what to say.

"Wrap yourself up." Kyild unfolded the blanket and wrapped it in front of Bianko's back, covering her tightly, "If you catch a cold tomorrow, then you can't stay outside at night anymore, do you hear?" ”

Biancole nodded, but still left the blanket open. Before Kyld reprimanded her, she quickly draped the blanket over Kyld's body and looked at him insistently.

"You ......"

"The young master should also be wrapped." The girl rightly said, "It's cold at night." ”

Kyild and the black eyes looked at each other for a moment, and they were weakly defeated.

"You won." Kryd sighed, "You should be glad this blanket is big enough, or I'll order you to drape it yourself, and you'll act like I've bullied you." ”

Biancole tilted her head, looking confused.

"What wins?" She asked, "I didn't compete with the young master. ”

Kyild rolled his eyes, and he rubbed the girl's hair so hard that she pursed her lips in displeasure.

"Leave this alone." He brushed the question over and put his hand on Bianko's head, leaning her head on his shoulder with a slight force, "I don't think you should be able to stay awake until the second half of the night, you never stayed up all night, and you shouldn't stay up late." As much as I want you to lie down and sleep, I'm sorry that you're a silly girl who wants to be outside with me. ”

Biancole struggled to turn her head to look at him, but found it a challenge to her neck, and she quickly gave up on her self-indulgence.

“…… Master. ”

"What's the problem?"

“…… Can't we get out? ”

"No, it won't." Kyird quickly but firmly denied Bianko's question, "As you heard earlier, Lanoda will soon find a way for the barrier to work, and then we can find a way to leave, or disrupt the operation of the barrier." ”

Biankom was silent for a few seconds, then asked a strange question in a soft voice: "If we don't get out soon...... Will it be a hassle? ”

Kyild glanced over the girl's head, a hint of confusion flashed in his dark gray eyes, but he didn't ask his doubts, just withdrew his hand and placed it on the back of Bianko's hand.

"Maybe." He said mildly, "Let's not say that we can't continue to complete our tasks in the garden, and we can't live as normal as before, and it's not good for us to eat wolf meat or snake meat all the time, right?" Rosette's physical condition also does not allow us to stay in this form for a long time. The food we have now is not suitable for her, and she can only eat the food we brought out, and that is not much. ”

The maiden fell silent again, her hands removed from Kryd's hands, and then quietly and tentatively placed them on Kryrd's arm, and after seeing that he did not want to shake her off, she took Kryrd's arm with her own.

With his free other hand, Kyard gently stroked Bianko's cheek, then patted her head again.

"Don't worry, we'll have a way." He whispered, "At worst, as Walkan said, the Demon King won't let us go—though if I get to that point, I'll probably be ashamed enough to want to burrow into the ground." ”

His words made the girl laugh, and her improved mood was clearly pleasing to Kryd, and he turned his head and kissed the top of the girl's hair, and then pulled the blanket on the girl's side with his hand to prevent it from slipping off her petite shoulders.

"Sleep."

He felt Bianco's head rub slightly against his shoulder, and then he didn't make any more movements. After a while, the girl's breathing also became calmer.

Such nights were somewhat unfamiliar to him. On the way out of the capital, he experienced the night in the wilderness, but he didn't have Biancove by his side at that time, and he didn't want her to stay with him. I didn't expect that in just a few days, his thinking would change so much.

She had always filled his heart with a contented serenity, and now it was filled with an indescribable feeling, like an inflated balloon, eager to fly into the sky, and for a moment he felt the comfort of his body floating in the air. Perhaps because Bianko was leaning by her side, the night became shorter.

When Wokan rushed out of the tent with a heavy face, Kryld was surprised to find that he didn't realize how long that time had just passed.

"Oh, oh." When Wokan saw them, to be precise, after seeing Bianko, his face relaxed for a moment, "It turns out that she is here with you, I didn't see her just now, and I thought I was lost again." But think about it, too, if she comes out of the tent, you'll always see her. ”

Wokan sat down on the ground and stirred the fire with a twig to make it burn even brighter.

"Go and rest." He waved his hand at Kylde, "Little lambs won't be comfortable sleeping like this. ”

Kylde nodded, lifted the blanket from his body and put it on Bianko's body, and then carefully supported Bianko's body, intending to pick her up sideways, but this still seemed to alarm the girl, and she opened her eyes in a daze, but it seemed that consciousness did not wake up with it.

"What's wrong......?"

Biancole asked vaguely, and Kilde shook his head, continuing his previous steps. He passed one hand under the girl's knee and put the other hand on her shoulder, picking her up easily before answering her gently.

"It's okay, let's go back to sleep."

The girl nodded bewilderedly—Kyeld wasn't sure if it was her response or if she couldn't hold her head because she was sleepy—and then yawned slightly, and closed her eyes.

Wakan lifted the tent for him, and Kyald bowed his head at him, ignoring Wakan's mocking gaze, and walked into the tent with Biancole in his arms.

The people inside the tent were asleep, and Letty was lying on the ground in a protective position for Roset, with one of Wagkan's blankets spread underneath them. Lanoda was lying in her sleeping bag on the other side, looking soundly asleep.

Kyild looked at the sleeping bags and blankets in the corners, then looked down at Bianco, who was not very stable because of the change of circumstances, and gently placed her on the blanket, and then sat down beside her, carefully tucking the corners for her.

After he lay down, the girl rubbed against him. He shook his head helplessly and amusedly, and simply took her into his arms.
