For those who have never seen much of a mountain, the mountains are almost the same everywhere.

That's exactly how Donner felt at this point.

Except that the season changed from winter to late summer, and the vegetation became extremely dense, he couldn't see any difference between this place and the Demonic Beast Mountains south of the Fire Sanctuary.

Moreover, just like the time they walked with Alephibi, the first day passed, except for catching a spirit sheep for food, they did not encounter a single demonic beast.

As night approached, Donner found a gentle slope on high ground and beckoned Rachel and Shaida to set up camp.

After the three of them set up the simple tent they carried with them, they lit a bonfire and roasted the lamb left over from noon.

Shaida has been in a very low mood since she left the Fire Sanctuary. Even if Reicor didn't say it, Donner could understand her feelings.

Miss Hellian certainly didn't know that her father, Kraft, was using her to stabilize Donner so that Christina could do the scene.

However, even though they were used by their father, the Lega family still fell short, and the culprit was none other than Donner.

Satin had been on the way before, and there was no way to communicate directly, and now that there were only three of them left, Donner felt compelled to make it clear to her:

"Konstantin said that Christina's purpose could not be achieved, because the Son of God and the envoy would not really punish a legendary mage......"

Rick took it upon herself to loosen the burning branches to make the fire even bigger, knowing that Donner was speaking to Shaida.

Shaida nodded slightly.

"I'm not sure if he's telling the truth. Downer continued.

"I don't know......" Shaida whispered.

"I had to do that to protect myself," Downer said with a wry smile, "but it didn't turn out well." ”

The girl hummed softly, and continued to turn the branch in her hand so that the lamb would be evenly heated in the fire.

Just when Donner didn't know what to say, Reicor said in a timely voice:

"Shaida, you have to understand that what the Lega family is doing now is useless. When there is no power to support us, too much wealth will only bring disaster!"

The half-elf girl said this, and deliberately glanced at Donner.

Donner understood what she meant, it was what he had said to Luna.

"Hmm......" Shaida thought for a moment.

"As long as you follow the young master, one day, you will get back all the things you lost. Ruiko encouraged.

Donner smiled and shook his head, the half-elf girl had adored him beyond measure.

"Sister," Shaida probably didn't want to talk about this topic anymore: "We're going too slowly, and if we drag it behind, we're going to lose......"

"Then get up early tomorrow and try to catch up with them!" Ruiko nodded.

Donner shook his head and smiled, but didn't speak.

"What does the young master mean?" asked Shaida, not knowing if she had really figured it out, or if it was because of the soul contract, she seemed to be in a better mood.

"We're right here, not going anywhere. Donner replied.

"yes! they're going to come to you. It dawned on Ruiko.

Shaida stopped talking, and soon she was roasting the lamb hot.

Donner was eating the barbecue while subconsciously looking into the distance, thinking about his future plans. At this point, Rick would obediently remain silent, not interrupting his train of thought.

Miss Hellian probably saw that Donner was worried, and comforted her softly: "Young master, as long as we find a place to hide in a hidden place, they may not be able to find us." ”

Donner suddenly turned his head and was stunned before asking, "You...... Thought I was worried about this?"

Shaida looked at Reicor and then at Donner, "Aren't you worried about this?"

Donner couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "I'm worried about what will happen after I go back......"

"But, they ......" Shaida began to worry when she saw Donner's ease.

Donner smiled and asked, "Shaida, don't you know what your sister is thinking?"

Hearing him say this, Ruiko also looked at Shaida suspiciously.

"My sister has been thinking about the young master......"

"Nonsense, how could I keep thinking about ......" The half-elf girl's pretty face flushed slightly.

"Why do I think Layla always knew what I was thinking?" Donner frowned.

"Could it be because the young master is thinking too much?" asked Xia Yida.

"Maybe Layla doesn't know, you're thinking too much. Reicor prompted.

"Or maybe you're in a daze and your mind is blank," Donner said with a smile......

"I've been thinking about it. Ruiko turned her head.

"Yes, my sister is thinking now, what should I do when I sleep at night......"

"No!" said Ricke, but her face was already flushed, thinking that it must have been because Shaida had told her heart through her heart.

Donner couldn't help but clutch his stomach and laugh.

He laughed for a long time before he said to Xia Yida, "Don't worry, even if the eight of them come together, there's nothing to worry about." ”

The demon refining assessment can't carry any magic props, and the four sixth-level magicians really have nothing to worry about for Donna and Ruiko.

Of course, if it was one level higher, even if there was only one seventh-level mage, Donner would not be so easy.

Shaida gave Donner a suspicious look, and finally stopped talking.

......

Satin watched Donner and his party disappear into the mountains, then looked at the few people beside him, and sighed secretly.

For the next month, he and these mages from other temples, as well as a priest, will take turns guarding this exit.

After waiting for a month, the results of the assessment will be counted.

However, for Sardinia, the month-long wait was not at all necessary.

From the time Konstantin said that Shaida and John should participate in this test, Satin knew the intentions of the Children of the Sun.

In other words, the entire Fire Sacred Courtyard knew the Dean's intentions.

If anyone had believed that John might have been his illegitimate child, then at that moment, the mystery had already been revealed.

Konstantin wants to make John disappear, just as he is bound to make Christina disappear.

He was enraged by the woman, and was willing to sacrifice the interests of the entire Fire Sanctuary to erase the threat from his side.

Among them, perhaps including his Sardinian interests.

But he Sardin still has to pretend to stay here, waiting for a long-determined result.

At this moment, Sardin felt that Konstantin had made the entire Fire Sanctuary a joke.

Finally, he looked up and saw his goshawk pet appear in the western sky.

It wasn't long before Satin stepped onto the pet and left the embarrassing place.

There was no one to keep him.

(It's digression time again.) That day, I heard Xu Zhiyuan talk about Haruki Murakami, and he said that when he was in his early twenties, he didn't like Murakami, because he preferred grand narratives and heroic complexes at that time, and did not appreciate the faint alienation and loneliness in Murakami's novels. Of course, I don't dare compare myself to Murakami, but this book does have a similar situation. The protagonist Donner is a time-traveler, he always has a sense of spectatorship and alienation when he looks at the people and things in this world, and there is a subtle estrangement in the middle of it, which is particularly obvious in the first 100,000 words, which may be the reason why some young readers don't like it. (To be continued.) )
