Chapter 7: Re-entry into the Village

When Barred opened his eyes, the sky was already blue, and the crisp birdsong could be heard from time to time in the verdant woods around him, and then another of the world's most beautiful and beautiful sounds came. "Are you awake?"

Barred sat up at once, straightened his hair, which was longer than most men, and was now like a weed heap after a night's sleep and hadn't washed it in days along the way. "I didn't expect you to wake up so early, nothing happened at night, right?"

"Very well, I guess those werewolves must not leave the village, or the transformation will be invalid. Adeline looked at Barred faintly. "Why do you have such long hair, mercenaries who often operate outside will usually cut their hair very short, just for convenience. ”

"Compared to convenience, you can't lose your own characteristics. Barred brushed the hair from his forehead to the top of his head. "These hairs are my attitude towards life and the pillars of my ideals. ”

Adeline was obviously very surprised by this answer. "And if I chose you to be my bodyguard, but only if you had to cut off your pillars, would you be willing?"

"This ......" Barred looked at Adeline, and the girl's calm gaze made him feel a pang of serenity. "If you can be a new pillar in my heart, then I do. ”

Adeline smiled. This answer is the most perfect answer I have ever heard. ”

"So you're talking to me?!" Barred asked angrily.

Adeline ignored him and raised her chin against the teapot. "Make some more tea, we'll be ready to go after breakfast, and we must rescue your companions before nightfall, and find the clues I need. ”

Barred nodded and got to work. "If it doesn't work today, we can go back here again and continue tomorrow. ”

"No, I can't. Adeline replied decisively, "They must have fed your companions some special potion last night, and it took a whole day for that potion to take effect, so they had to wait until today to cast a spell to turn him into a werewolf." ”

"Hell, why didn't you say it earlier!" Bared's hand shook, and the teapot fell to the ground, and the water inside poured out. "Now even if we get him out, he's already drunk the potion. ”

Adeline remained calm and not at all worried. "Don't worry, that potion will only work with the cooperation of magic, as long as you get him out before the werewolf casts the spell, he will be fine. ”

Barred picked up the teapot and filled it with water. "You'd better hope you're right. ”

"Oh?" Adeline raised an eyebrow. "If it wasn't right, what would you do to me?"

Barred placed the teapot on the fire and stared into Adeline's eyes. "I'll ...... Capture you back to Deville and find a way to cure Lucius until he is fully recovered. ”

"Hah!" Adeline lifted her chin haughtily. "It's up to you? You don't even have a chance to touch me. ”

"Werewolves, didn't you say they wouldn't leave the village?" Barred looked behind Adeline, a look of horror on his face.

"What? it can't be!" Adeline quickly turned around, but there was nothing behind her.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and a "no" flashed through Adeline's mind, but it was too late, and the man's strong arms held her tightly into his arms. Adeline turned her head, and Barrede's smug smile was just inches away from her. "You let me go, Bared!"

"If you admit defeat, I'll let it go. Barred enjoyed holding such a charming woman in his arms, the soft, warm touch of the girl's body and the fragrance that came to his nose made him hope that the best thing would be for her to never give up.

"I say it again, and for the last time, you let me go!" Adeline's voice was visibly enraged.

Barred looked at the girl in his arms with a wicked grin, and leaned his chin over to try to touch Adeline's face with his stubble. In the next second, he was punished, and Barred only felt a sudden spasm all over his body, and his hands and feet were no longer under his command, and then his eyes turned black and he lost consciousness.

When the reckless warrior woke up again, the sun was already in the middle of the sky, and Adeline was still sitting on the side, but looking at him with hatred in her eyes.

Barred checked all over his body and found no injuries. "You see, I can still touch you. ”

Adeline's cold tone came. "If it weren't for the fact that we still need to act together in the waiting meeting, I will make you lie on the ground for a few days. ”

"By the way, hurry up and eat something, it's not too early, act immediately after eating. Barred knew that it was inappropriate to use such violence against a girl, but he couldn't stand Adeline's arrogant attitude at the time, so he simply diverted the topic.

Adeline picks up an apple. "Good thing you haven't forgotten. And he paid no more attention to him.

Barred quickly made hot tea for the girl and wanted to pass it over, but Adeline immediately looked at him vigilantly, motioned for him to put it in front of him, and then reached out to take it herself. Barred didn't care, after all, he was at fault first, he just wanted not to affect the next operation to rescue Lucius.

The two hurriedly settled breakfast and lunch and were ready to go. At Adeline's suggestion, the horses were left in the woods, and the two walked towards the village on foot. The warm afternoon sun felt very pleasant on people, but Barred didn't have the heart to pay attention to it right now, Adeline deliberately kept her distance from him, walking a few yards behind her, and she didn't look nervous at all.

The village was no different from the one he had been there yesterday, the streets and houses were still calm, and the villagers were either resting under the eaves or walking aimlessly on the streets. "What should we do? go straight to church?" Barred asked, standing at the entrance of the village, looking back, surprised that Adeline was long gone. Damn, this woman actually left me alone and ran away! What did she say to help me save people, she simply cheated me out of food because she had no food!

After scolding Adeline several times in his heart, Barred returns to reality that he must save Lucius before dark, and he still believes what Adeline said in the woods. In the end, the warrior decided to rely on himself, holding the scabbard in his left hand, his eyes vigilantly surveying each villager, and his right hand ready to draw his sword at any moment. But when the warrior slowly stepped onto the street, the villagers on the side of the road only glanced at him, and then returned to their own consciousness, no longer paying attention to him, and even the villagers on the road completely ignored his presence.

Barred walked towards the center of the village step by step, the church was getting bigger and bigger in his eyes, everything around him was so calm, if it weren't for seeing Lucius's horse still by the church wall, Barred would even think that everything that happened yesterday was just an illusion, and Adeline must be an angel in the hallucination.

The door to the church was in front of him, and Barred looked the way he came, but the villagers were still doing their thing, not paying attention to him. The warrior took a deep breath, pressed his hands on the door, and pushed hard, and the white stone door was slowly pushed open, and at that moment, Barred seemed to hear a sigh in his ear, so close that it seemed as if the person who made it was in his ear. Barred shuddered and looked back, but there was no figure, and he didn't hesitate any longer, pushing the stone door open, and the hall of the church appeared in front of him.
