The Imperial Capital, the estate of the Stewart family. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Messiah awoke from his sleep and sat up from his bed with a beautiful face and a fine bead of sweat on his forehead.

"Miss, is something wrong?" came the voice of a strong guard from outside the house.

The Messiah looked around, borrowing the moonlight, to survey the room that was both familiar and unfamiliar. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and then said to the people outside, "It's nothing, it's just a nightmare." ”

The guards outside were silent for a while, and then said, "Miss, don't think about it. ”

"Hasn't anyone come back yet?"

"No, miss. The guard replied, "But, in the name of heaven, their sacrifice is worth it, at least you have come back alive, young lady." ”

The Messiah was also silent, and after a long time, she whispered, "I see, you stand down." ”

The people outside answered, and left softly, but he wouldn't go far, and he would patrol around the night this night. The Messiah could no longer sleep, so he got out of bed, put on a coat, and went to his desk.

The oil lamp on the desk was always burning, and the flame on the oil lamp danced softly in the Messiah's pale blue eyes. There was a neat stack of books on the desk, which the Messiah read in his spare time, and in fact, all of her time except for sleep was considered leisure time.

The one she asked the guard about before was the team that had entered the snowy mountain with her. She wanted to know if anyone in her team had come back alive, but she had been waiting for half a month, and there was still no news from them. The result was already obvious, they could not return, but the Messiah still had to ask every day. She felt guilty, as Ian said, that she had indirectly pushed those twenty people into the abyss.

Speaking of Ian.

The Messiah lowered his head and looked at a small cloth bag hanging from his chest. It was a gift from Ian in the snowy mountains, and to be honest, she hadn't worn such a cheap ornament yet, but it was this cheap ornament that saved her life. Ian found the sack and dug the Messiah out of the snow. So after returning to the imperial capital, the Messiah put away all the expensive ornaments, except this one on his chest.

The bag depicts an ugly girl looking up at the moon. Messiah's fingers slid lightly over the rough cloth bag, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when she and Ian were in the carriage that night, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently set off a beautiful arc.

"It must be safe, Ian. The Messiah muttered.

......

Ian opened his eyes with great difficulty, and saw a pretty face crying with pear blossoms and rain, his mouth moved, but he couldn't speak.

"Oh, don't cry, little girl, he's awake. Another female voice, Ian turned his head and saw a woman in her mid-twenties.

Nicole raised her head suddenly, saw Ian open her eyes, couldn't help but be overjoyed, hugged Ian's face, and asked excitedly, "Ian, are you okay?"

Ian still wanted to speak.

"Don't you want to be okay! what should I do if something happens to you!" Nicole buried her head in Ian's chest and cried, "Don't leave me alone!"

Ian finally couldn't help it, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, he said in a hoarse voice, "You stupid girl! I'm not going to die and I'm going to be crushed to death by you!

After saying that, Ian couldn't take it anymore, his eyes went dark, and he fainted again.

......

When Ian woke up again, he was so thirsty that he kept muttering, "Water, water." ”

A strong arm wrapped around his neck, lifted him up, and pressed the jug against Ian's mouth. Ian grew his mouth and sucked, he desperately needed water, like a swimming fish. Cool water poured down his throat, extinguishing the unbearable burning heat in his belly.

"Well done, brother. A strong male voice rang in his ears, and Ian turned his head to face Scarface. Scarface patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not easy. ”

Ian felt his mind clearer a lot, and he looked around and found himself in a cave. There was a bonfire burning in the cave, and Nicole was one of two women resting on the ground around the bonfire.

"Don't worry, they're fine. Scarface said, then held out his hand to him, "Get to know you, I'm Lu Sen, and I'm also a junior hunter." ”

Ian could see that Luson wanted to shake his hand, but when he tried, he couldn't lift his arm as if it had been filled with lead. I couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook my head, wanting to say something, but the voice that came out was hoarse and unrecognizable.

"Well, I'm overestimating your state. Lu Sen put down his hand and said, "Don't talk yet, I couldn't make a sound when I woke up before, and now I can't speak, I suspect it hurts my throat." ”

Ian stopped talking, and he did feel his throat burn like a fire. Lusen helped him against the wall, and then said, "Well, can you still hold on? Let me tell you about the current situation." ”

Ian nodded.

"Well, you're strong. In fact, I feel like you're a miracle, your left arm is so wounded that you can see the bones, and you have a big cut in your chest. Then you fall into the waterfall again, and although you avoid falling to your death, the blood will drain faster in the water. Lu Sen cleared his throat and said, "When we found you and the little girl, your breathing was weak. But luckily, you managed to make it through. ”

"Thank you. Ian struggled to say the words, but he still couldn't hear them.

Fortunately, Lu Sen understood what he meant, shook his head and smiled: "Don't thank us." That little girl of yours is amazing, and the herbs she carries with her have saved your life. In fact, those herbs are very useful, and we should all bring some with us, but none of us thought that we would actually encounter dragons. ”

Ian remembered the big-tailed black dragon in the moonlight, and his head hurt again. He was one of the luckiest people in the world, having survived three times under the claws of dragons, even though he had no skills.

"I know you're in bad health right now. Lu Sen's voice deepened, "But I still have to tell you, you have to get better as soon as possible." I need help, you're also a hunter in the hall, I need your help. There were four people in my squad, and now there are only two left. If we don't find a way, we'll end up here forever. ”

Lu Sen said slowly, he stared at Ian from beginning to end, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes: "We must find a way to kill that dragon!"
