When Eren staggered out of bed, he realized that there was still a person lying next to him.

Ai Yue lay quietly on the side of the bed, one hand tightly grasping the corner of Ai Lian's clothes.

Gently smoothing Ai Yue's rough silver hair, Ai Lian suddenly smiled.

"Hmm... At this time, Ai Yue also woke up with her sleepy eyes, and when she saw that Ai Lian had woken up, she suddenly fell asleep and crashed into Ai Lian's arms.

The two didn't say a word between them, but both Ai Lian and Ai Yue understood what the other party wanted to say.

And Naya, who heard the movement at this moment, also rushed into the door excitedly, and when she saw that Elian was in good spirits, Naya also put down a big stone in her heart.

Eren was injured because of her, and during the time that Eren was in a coma, Naya felt more guilty and sad than anyone else.

Soon, the three of them gathered around the table again, and enjoyed Naya's special lunch.

At this time, Elian realized that he had been in a coma for almost two days.

After the meal, Naya also slowly talked about her experience that night.

Naya recalled carefully and said, "After leaving the house, I have been following you all the time, and then I don't know why it suddenly went dark in front of me, and then I felt a big cold hand grab my shoulder and lift my whole body up. ”

When she said this, Naya's whole body trembled, presumably remembering something bad.

Then I felt the owner of the big hand running as hard as he could, and after about ten minutes of running, he stopped, and then left me still in the snow, and I thought he had left, but only a few minutes later, there was a screaming sound around me, and I realized that he had not left. The screaming lasted for more than ten seconds, and then the sound was gone. In the end, it was Ai Yue, who was carrying you behind your back, who found me and brought us home together. ”

Speaking of this, Naya couldn't help but say to Ai Yue: "Sister Ai Yue, your strength is so great. It's amazing!"

Ai Yue replied to Naya with a smirk of "hey, hey, hey".

Ai Lian stroked his forehead, Ai Yue, as the incarnation of a holy weapon, naturally has no power.

Now the question is who the person who took Naya really is.

From Naya's words, Eren can get several useful information.

The first person to capture Naya, or the creature, is very tall and very powerful. It can be seen from the fact that he can lift Naya with one hand and run in this position for more than ten minutes, and lift a tall woman with one hand, and the woman does not even touch the ground with her feet, indicating that the existence must be at least 3 meters or more.

Not... It seems that the prisoner is not a human being, or rather, he is not an ordinary human being.

Secondly, after running for more than ten minutes, the prisoner didn't know what method he used to trap Ai Lian and Ai Yue in a maze when he was sure that he couldn't escape, and Ai Lian had been chasing in the snow for at least ten minutes, and if Ai Yue's "East Wind Ring" hadn't indicated that he hadn't moved, he would still be in the dark.

Is it a magician? Or is it an illusionist?

Elian didn't know, after all, the number of magicians was very small now, but there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be a magician in this kind of place.

However, the maze that the magician had planted was broken by Allen with his Hidden Blade, and he wouldn't be better off himself. At least the magic countermeasures would be enough for him to eat a pot.

Although Eren is not a magician, he knows a lot of magicians. As for magic that is mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people, Eren obviously knows better.

As for the reason for taking Naya, Eren really couldn't think of it.

"Not enough!" said Alian, who thought about it and suddenly hugged his head and said loudly.

It's not enough to piece together the pieces of the puzzle, and for Allen, he needs more clues and pieces.

"By the way, I found this thing where I found Naya. Ai Yue groped in her pocket as if she suddenly remembered something, and after a while, Ai Yue took out an inconspicuous white object and threw it to Ai Lian.

"Oh, yes?" Ai connected to the white object, looking at it closely.

After a long while, Elian said with certainty: "This is a bone, a rotten bone to be exact. ”

"Rotten bones, what does that mean?" asked Naya curiously.

Eren gently broke the white bone in his hand into two pieces and pointed it at Naya and said, "Rotten bones, as the name suggests, are bones left behind by people or animals that have been dead for many years, and this kind of bone is very brittle and very pale in color. To put it simply, it's a dead bone. ”

"Dead?, does the person who captured Naya's sister have a hobby of carrying dead people's bones with him?" Ai Yue's brain hole instantly opened, and she suddenly made up a man with a lewd face who carried a skeleton with her.

Ai Lian did not answer Ai Yue's question, but stared blankly at the two bones in his hand.

As if he suddenly understood something, the door that had been blocking in Ailian's mind suddenly opened.

While Ai Yue was still discussing the man with the skeleton with Naya, Ai Lian suddenly stood up and said, "All right, ladies. The topic of skeletons will be put aside for now, so be prepared for the possibility that there will be guests tonight. ”

"Guest?" Ai Yue hurriedly asked, "What kind of person is it?"

"Yes, and I'll bring a great gift!" said Elian, smiling.

Night.

It was a rare night that there was no snow or even wind.

This is not often seen in the town of Eternal Night, which is full of wind and snow all year round.

The bright moonlight shone straight on the land, covering the town with a thin ribbon of tulle.

However, the townspeople apparently did not appreciate the beauty, and the lifeless town did not see any life during the day.

The three of them went out very early today.

Of course, it was very early, but it was actually almost midnight.

Ai Lian left the town with Ai Yue and Naya as fast as possible, and this was not their goal.

With his memory, Elian vaguely groped for the path he had traveled that day.

Finally, in the midst of a guess-based run, Eren found a bloodstained tree.

"Okay, just wait here. Ai Lian led the two girls to the grass behind the big tree, and lay down quietly.
