The special freshwater fish of the lake capital is stewed over low heat in the clear soup after being removed by Ao Xingfeng. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Hearing the footsteps of Suo Suo on the second floor, Ao Xingfeng turned around and saw Tia coming downstairs.

The steaming rice was placed on the dining table, and Ao Xingfeng took off his bib and led Tia to sit on the dining chair.

"Tia?" Seeing Tia sitting still, Ao Xingfeng shouted softly.

Tia came back to her senses, suddenly looked a little flustered, and nervously hugged Ao Xingfeng.

"What's wrong?" Ao Xingfeng asked.

"Don't you leave me, okay? I'll try to get stronger. Tia said with tears in her voice.

Ao Xingfeng stretched out his hand and hugged Tia tightly: "Why do you think like this? I don't want you to become stronger, the reason why I don't take you with me is just that I'm worried that you will be injured, I won't leave you, don't worry." Ao Xingfeng comforted Tia.

"But ..... like this" Just as Ao Xingfeng would be worried about Tia's injury, how could Tia bear to see Ao Xingfeng injured? Moreover, Tia thinks that she is not an ordinary noblewoman, you must know that she can rank in the top ten of the sword masters in the Maleni Kingdom.

"And I don't want your hands to get more blood. Ao Xingfeng said in a low voice, the more people you kill, the greater the demons in your heart, whenever you close your eyes at night, the innocent people who die in your hands will always surround yourself with all kinds of misery and ask for your life, as a person who has no faith and no honor, this guilt can only be borne by yourself.

"My hands are already stained with blood, I don't care about getting more stained, I just want to fight side by side with you. Tia stood firm in her thoughts.

Ao Xingfeng looked into Tia's eyes squarely, and said slowly: "Do you know how terrible it is when killing becomes a habit? When countless lives that have no grievances with me disappear in my hands, all that remains is indifference to life, and I am used to the scene of the deceased in my dream wanting to ask for my life, but habit is one thing, and whether it is good or not is another." ”

"Your previous killings were for your people and your country, but unlike me, I have no reason to kill, and if you fight with me, your hands will be stained with the blood of innocents. I don't want you to go through the nightmare I've been through and don't want to talk about. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's eat first, if you don't eat again, it will be cold. Ao Xingfeng touched Tia's head dotingly, and put a lot of vegetables in Tia's bowl.

The tableware in this mansion is all made by Ao Xingfeng when he is bored, and Tia has also heard of strange tableware such as bowls and chopsticks, and has lived with Ao Xingfeng for a while, and is also used to this way of eating.

"Okay. Tia sat down pitifully, munching on the food in the bowl, she knew that Ao Xingfeng didn't let her participate, it was all an act to protect her, but she just wanted to do something for her beloved.

"By the way, Tia, I'm afraid we'll have to pack up after dinner, although they don't dare to come to the door, but it's too ostentatious to live in a place full of enemies in such an open and honest way. Ao Xingfeng said.

"Do you need me to bring my men, Will and his people can come in handy. Tia asked.

Ao Xingfeng shook his head: "No, although there are many casualties in this city, the terrain here gives a natural advantage to resist the undead, and there are undead everywhere outside the city, and the goal is bigger when there are more people, so let them live here." ”

After the meal, the two began to pack the luggage they needed on the road, until early the next morning, the two left the city of the lake in a small boat before dawn, leaving the place where they had fond memories.

......

On April 16, 266, in the southwestern part of the continent of Irene, on a path in the Valley of Wailing, two travelers were hugging each other on a bumpy road.

These two travelers are none other than Ao Xingfeng and Tia who have left the Lake Capital, and it has been a few months since they left the Lake Capital, and the two of them have carefully avoided the group of undead, bypassed the Boulder Avenue, and passed through the Kingdom of Yelu.

After a long journey of several months, the two finally entered the Wailing Valley, and the city of Merk Khan was built on a plain in the north of the Wailing Valley, which was originally only a one-month journey from Lancer to Merk Khan, but the undead were everywhere, and the road changed after the earthquake, and it took several times longer to reach the Wailing Valley.

Ao Xingfeng glanced at Tia beside him, the journey was very difficult, now Tia is like an angel who fell into the world, the pure and beautiful brilliance is covered with a thick mortal dust, to put it bluntly, they have no chance to take a bath, although they wash every day, but they did not see a suitable water source on the way, at this time Tia's pretty face is like a playful little flower cat, with a lot of dust on her body, but there is no smell on her body.

In the past few months of travel, Tia has never complained, but she is very happy every day, and it seems that it is enough to be with Ao Xingfeng, even if she gives up the status she once had.

Ao Xingfeng stretched out his right hand and took Tia's left hand, this girl is worthy of his protection for the rest of his life.

Although he didn't know why Ao Xingfeng suddenly held him, Tia still followed behind Ao Xingfeng with a happy face.

The Valley of Wailing, where the wind blows from nowhere all year round, makes a wailing sound when it blows through the cracks in the stone walls, and although it is not as dangerous as the terrain of the Broken Mountains, the long and winding trails also cause a lot of trouble for travelers.

The Wailing Valley is divided into three sections, the front and rear ends are relatively safe, but the steep walk is a waste of energy, but the middle section is the real source of the name Wailing Valley, the trail at the front and back ends is surrounded by stone walls, but the middle section of the trail is not protected at all, and below the trail is a pitch black abyss.

The wind in the middle of the trail is strong, and many travelers are often swept up by the wind and fall into the dark and bottomless abyss, and the mournful wail of the travelers when they fall is where the name Wailing Valley really comes from.

Although the trail in the previous section was long and bumpy, whether it was Ao Xingfeng or Tia, they were both physically strong warriors, and this level was far from making the two of them feel a little difficult.

Maybe it's because the Wailing Valley is too remote, or maybe there are no creatures here, so they walked for a long time on this only path, and the two didn't encounter a single undead, and a sound similar to wailing sounded in their ears from time to time, which sounded a little infiltrating, Tia subconsciously took a few steps closer to Ao Xingfeng.

Seeing Tia's somewhat frightened appearance, Ao Xingfeng stretched out his hand and took her into his arms: "Don't be afraid if I'm here." The words were short and clear, but the strong confidence in the tone brought Tia a a great sense of security, as if he could withstand it even if the sky fell, and she did not doubt Ao Xingfeng's words at all.

In this way, Princess Ao Xingfeng hugged and picked up Tia, Tia put her hands around Ao Xingfeng's neck, and Xiaohua's face shyly rose a touch of red.

There was wind under Ao Xingfeng's feet, and he quickly walked through the front section of the Wailing Valley.

Looking at the road about 10 meters wide in front of it, it is actually not narrow, but because it is too long, it will become narrow under the visual feedback of people, after all, the pitch-black abyss is much wider, and the middle section of the wailing valley is a large circular square, but except for this 10-meter road, the others are bottomless pitch-black abysses.

"If you're scared, close your eyes. Ao Xingfeng said to Tia in his arms, Tia's little face was attached to Ao Xingfeng's chest, and he closed his eyes happily, in fact, Tia herself is not so delicate, after all, she herself is also a powerful warrior, but I don't know why, in front of Ao Xingfeng, she feels very weak, blindly snuggling up to Ao Xingfeng's side, the little woman posture is proper.
