An hour later.
"Thank you. β
"Nothing...... Speaking of which, you're almost dead for me again. β
β...... It's different, this time, it's for myself. β
Sun Chenghuan shook his head, supported his upper body with both hands, and sat up.
It's still a bit of a stretch, but it's still moving.
"Thank you...... Would you like to take a break?"
Sun Chenghuan looked at Ya Erluo, who was sitting cross-legged in front of him, and couldn't tell whether he was concerned or asked politely.
Although Sun Chenghuan was lying down and couldn't move just now, he still knew the condition of his body.
The muscles were badly injured, and the bodily functions were almost completely useless, which the average light or life mage could not treat.
He had been waiting for a reliable magician to help him heal himself when he arrived in Onika City.
Unexpectedly, Jarro actually allowed himself to move.
Although I definitely still can't move the knife, I won't lie there and can't move.
"No need. Jarro shook his head.
Still through the veil, the two of them were a little embarrassed.
"I didn't expect you to remember me. There was a hint of melancholy in Jarro's voice. "It's been five years......"
"Just kidding, that was the first time I've met a princess! and you've saved my life. Sun Chenghuan brought a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's a little rare that you still remember me." β
"I saved you, you saved me, and you're the first person I've ever met who really wants to protect me......
"That said, when I found you in the woods, weren't a few people dying next to you......"
"They snatched me out of my house. Jarro shook his head, "They're not trying to protect me. β
"That's not what I said. Sun Chenghuan hurriedly said: "If it weren't for them, you might have been killed by the rebels a long time ago." β
"I'd rather die. Jarro's voice sounded sad.
Silence fell.
Neither of them knew what to say.
"Can I take the mask off? It's a little stuffy. β
β...... You pick it, who stopped you. Sun Chenghuan smiled.
"I'm afraid I'll scare you. There was a smile in Jarro's voice.
Then, the mask was removed.
The scene was a little awkward.
"Well, it's still scary. Jarro looked at Sun Chenghuan's stunned expression and smiled.
"You...... Why don't you take the wound off your face yourself?" Sun Chenghuan didn't deny it, it was indeed very scary.
On Jarro's face, from the top right to the bottom left, there are three long scars.
Scratched by a bear.
When Sun Chenghuan first saw Yarluo, there was it.
"I can't get rid of it. Jarro smiled.
The smile was scary.
Sun Chenghuan remembered his "fiancΓ©e" Conina.
"How can it not be removed. Sun Chenghuan looked disbelieving, "With your current cultivation of light magic, ......"
"You can get rid of what you have on your face, but you can't get rid of what you have in your heart. Jarro shook his head.
Be quiet.
"Haven't all five or six years passed......
"Four years and three hundred and forty-four days. "It's been four years and three hundred and thirty days since I was imprisoned in the big prison in Mills. β
β...... I remember you so clearly, you ......."
"I'm living with my fingers crossed. Jarro silently recited a few incantations in his mouth.
The scars on her face were gone.
For a light magician who can heal the aftereffects of suicidal magic to a great extent, the price of power, it is indeed not difficult to heal this kind of scar.
A smooth face.
It's beautiful.
With flaxen hair, a high nose bridge, a pointed chin, and very light eyebrows, if it weren't for the sharp gaze shot out of the black pupils, Sun Chenghuan would not have believed it, her surname is Liu.
It was a surname from the country of Penglai.
And Jarro looks like a native of the Ace Continent.
"You look so good, you have to be like that...... before" Sun Chenghuan smiled and shook his head.
Indeed, it looks a lot more pleasing to the eye.
"If you like this, I'll do it all in the future......"
β...... What are you talking about?" Sun Chenghuan was a little embarrassed all of a sudden.
"As my guard, you still have to look at it a little more pleasing to the eye, right? Otherwise, every time you see me, it's like seeing a ghost, and I'm upset if you don't bother me. Jarro laughed.
β...... What guard?" Sun Chenghuan looked confused.
"Do you really think you'll go back after leaving Mills this time?" Jarro glanced at Sun Chenghuan.
β...... What do you mean?" Sun Chenghuan suddenly had a little foreboding.
"Do you know what I'm here to do in Onica?"
"Isn't it peace talks with Astrana?"
"Yes, do you know what the terms of the peace talks are?"
β...... What?"
"I went back to Astrana and inherited my father's fief. Jarro said lightly.
"Oh, this one! We've already guessed ......."
"Then do you know why you came with me?" Jarro glanced at Sun Chenghuan.
β...... This one...... It's not very clear. Sun Chenghuan said frankly.
"Merce won't just let me go back to Astranna. Jarro shook his head, "Definitely keep me under your control...... But the people of Astrana are not stupid, and they will definitely not allow this to happen. So...... You've become my 'best friend' in this way. β
β......β
"You ......" Jarro looked at Sun Chenghuan's ridiculous expression and laughed, "It was my best friend when I was studying in the Third Academy, classmate, who felt that it would be dangerous for me to go back to Astrana, and volunteered to be my entourage to keep me safe, and I ...... The proposal was agreed. β
"If you don't agree, you're going to die, right?"
"yes...... If I disagree, it is a deep hostility towards Merce. Jarro still smiled, "It's just...... Why don't they believe it, even if I hate them, they still smile and nod in agreement......? Too much like a child?"
"You look a lot older than you are. Sun Chenghuan hurriedly shook his head, "I feel like you should be at least thirty years old." β
"Thank you. Jarro nodded.
Is this supposed to be a thank you? Sun Chenghuan himself is not sure.
The carriage was quiet again.
"So, we're like the ...... that Merce planted on your side"
"Assistant. Yarro interrupted Sun Chenghuan's words. "Because I'm only interested in magic, I don't know anything about governing a territory, and I don't know how to defend against it, and you're my best friends, and you're volunteering to help me. β
Quiet again.
I can't continue this kind of chat.
Sun Chenghuan also understood.
Someone must have been eavesdropping, and Jarro realized that he, because of his current physical condition, couldn't find out.
"Hmm...... I'll help you. Sun Chenghuan finally squeezed out such a sentence.
"Do I look better this way?" Jarro abruptly changed the subject.
"Actually, I think...... It's still better like it was before. β
I don't know why, Sun Chenghuan suddenly came out with such a sentence.
"Hmm...... Thank you. Actually, I think that's better. Jarro nodded, "Tonight...... Will it be dangerous?"
"I don't know how crazy those people can be...... I can only say that since I promised to help you......"
"Are you willing to take an oath of obedience for me?" Jarro interrupted Sun Chenghuan.
β...... You know it can't be. Sun Chenghuan smiled, and then, remembering some past events, "I refused this matter many years ago. β
Just kidding, the oath of obedience is a blood oath, and this kind of oath is not something that can be taken casually.
Otherwise, if Jarro wants his own life in the future, he can't even resist.
"Hmm...... I'm just going to ask again. Jarro smiled as well.
Then, suddenly, the three scars on his face reappeared.
"How did you do this?" Sun Chenghuan was stunned.
I've never heard of light magic that can be used like this......
"A little secret of mine. Jarro smiled again.
This time, it's far less cute than before.
Sun Chenghuan nodded. Secrets, everyone has them, just don't ask.
"Can't we go back to Mills?"
"You won't go back to Mills until you get to Onika City and you don't want to go, otherwise...... I think I'll return to my territory in Astrana with the Astrana Peace Mission. β
"But ......"
"What, you're still in Mills?"
β...... Hmm......" Sun Chenghuan nodded.
There's more than that, there...... There's also a big living person.
And......
"Isn't it true that we're not going to go back to Merce again?"
"Probably not. If I can manage to control my father's territory...... You should all be knighted by me. Jarro shook his head, "Then, these territories will be large, and then they will be connected ......"
β...... Isn't it?" Sun Chenghuan heard the helplessness in Yarluo's tone.
"Anyway, when I was in trouble, Astrana didn't help me much. So...... I don't have any mental pressure. Jarro still shook his head. "Besides, will you still have your heart set on Merce when you go to Astrana? They treat you all like children completely......
β...... Forget it, don't tell me that...... I wouldn't be going to Astrana. Sun Chenghuan interrupted Yarluo's words.
He was horrified to hear it.
A lot of things come to mind.
β...... Didn't you just say ...... Regretted it so quickly?"
"I thought I could just send you back to the realm and go home. You're going to keep me on that side...... It's not realistic!" Sun Chenghuan shook his head, "My fiancΓ©e is also in Merce...... And she's definitely not going to Astrana. β
"FiancΓ©e, is that the girl named Conina?"
β...... Do you remember her?"
"Well, she warned me to stay away from you......" Jarro laughed.
"At the beginning?" Sun Chenghuan was stunned.
"Forget it...... If you don't, I can't do anything. Jarro smiled and shook his head, "Are you going to continue to rest in the car, or will I find two people to help you to your room?"
β...... It's a little out of place in a carriage, isn't it?"
"Well, then I'll go and inform someone. Bye. β
With that, Jarro put the mask on his head again.
β...... Well. β
