Tonight is not destined to be peaceful. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Leaden clouds came from afar, obscuring the stars and moons, as if to foretell what was to come.

Sitting on Chevis's back, feeling the icy night wind, Albert unfastened his fur cloak and handed it to Joanna beside him.

Curled up and shivering, Joanna hesitated for a few seconds, but under Albert's unquestioning gaze, she reached out her unconscious hand and took the cloak with a trace of Albert's body temperature. Although it was still cold and windy, she didn't feel the cold, and it wasn't because of a piece of clothing. Joanna smiled at Albert, who looked at her in the same way, without any words or needless words.

"There's one thing I forgot to tell you. ”

At that moment, a mechanical, cold voice broke the fleeting stare.

Albert looked at Shadow and casually asked, "What is it?" Although he was a little displeased, how could he blame a magic puppet.

"I killed three soldiers when I infiltrated the castle, and I ......," Shadow began, recounting what had happened to him. When he was finally speaking, he raised his head and turned his featureless face towards Albert, "I disobeyed your orders, but I don't know why, I don't think I did anything wrong." ”

Listening to Ei's description, Albert did not show any dissatisfaction, only shock.

It's unbelievable that Eige has learned to think and judge, which is by no means something that a magic puppet can do, it is the ability of intelligent life.

He is amazed by the wonder of Ei, and at the same time happy for the growth of his friend, Albert never thinks of Ei as a magic puppet or a minion, he has always been his friend, like the friendship between a child and a toy. And what excites Albert even more is that this friendship is no longer one-sided from now on, because Eige has learned the emotions that people have, even though everything is only basic.

"You did nothing wrong, my friend. Albert told Ei, "It's me who isn't good enough, I should teach you more." ”

The second half of the sentence is what Albert said to himself, Shadow is no longer a child, and if he doesn't want Shadow to get lost in a road full of forks in the road, he must be more attentive.

Looking at the confused Shadow, although the other party has no expression, he and Shadow are connected by magic, and he can feel the other person's emotions. "You should also try to judge for yourself, just like you are in the castle, what others say is only advice, how to choose, ask your heart. ”

"Heart—the beating organ in the chest?" Shadow shook her head, "you know I don't have a heart. ”

"It's not just about organs. Albert shrugged.

He pointed to Ei's chest, "My friend, your heart is not in the core of energy or the core of memory. ”

"Where's the heart?" "Shadow Machine's voice seemed to be mixed with a hint of human confusion, "Could it be in some part?"

"No, neither. Albert smiled and shook his head, "You can't see it, but you can feel it, all you have to do is find it." Sure, it will take a little time to find this little guy who is good at disguise, but trust me, it does exist. ”

Soon, the mountains appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Instead of falling, Chevis hovered over the mountains, searching for the werewolf legion.

A moment later, the green light in the dense forest of a mountain peak caught everyone's attention, and it looked like a firefly and a werewolf's eyes.

Chevis didn't hide his form, retracted his dragon wings, and swooped down. The wind whistled in their ears, beating on their eardrums, and in almost the blink of an eye, the crowd reached the top of the mountain they were about to explore.

Albert took the lead, and before Chevis could turn back into an elf, he disappeared into the night.

He followed his memories from tree to tree, and miraculously, he didn't make the slightest sound, like a light feather.

Perhaps the word "ghost" would be more appropriate, as the thick lead clouds deprived the stars and the moon of their brilliance, and Albert wandered like a nocturnal ghost, drifting away from the dark night. At the same time, he held the hilt of the "Black Edge" in his right hand, guarding against possible dangers. No one dares to underestimate a werewolf army, let alone him, not even a powerful king-level powerhouse.

Suddenly, Albert catches two green lights, which makes him both excited and nervous.

Albert leaned on a tree, unloaded the impact of running, stopped, and hid in a bush beside him.

About twenty meters in front of him, there were more than a dozen huge figures. The hideous wolf head, sharp fangs and claws, and bent legs all showed that this was what Albert was looking for.

Albert kept an eye on a dozen werewolves and did not act immediately.

He wasn't sure he could finish all the werewolves with a single blow, and it would be terrible if he attracted more werewolves.

Moments later, Chevis and Catherine came close to each other, but of course, this did not mean that Catherine's strength could match Chevis's.

Elves are good at moving around the forest, which is known to almost everyone except newborns.

After a while, Joanna and Shadow also arrived.

"Three per person. Albert looked at the crowd and said in the smallest voice.

After exchanging glances, Albert waved his hand, then drew the "Black Blade" and rushed towards a werewolf.

The battle was won without any suspense, and the fourteen gray-haired werewolves equivalent to the bronze three-star martial artists didn't even have time to react.

However, the fourteen unlucky ghosts did not die, Albert and the others just knocked them out. These werewolves may have been farmers, hunters, or whatever, but in short, they were ordinary people. If it is not necessary, in the subsequent battle, Albert still does not plan to kill him.

Albert and the others dragged the fourteen werewolves under a tree that was not easy to find and tied them with ropes.

Looking at one of the werewolves, Albert shook his head and turned to leave.

He carried a whole bag of blood clotting potions that he had prepared in advance, probably a thousand bottles.

But before the werewolves can regain consciousness, he must find the base camp of the werewolf legion before the vampires even notice.

This time, it was Catherine who led the way, and the reason was simple. Yes, after a brief battle, Albert had lost his way, and now he didn't even know where he was, let alone looking for werewolves.

At some point, it began to drizzle in the sky, mixed with snowflakes.

Albert's body was trembling slightly under the wind and rain, and Joanna handed her fur, but she was refused.

Albert smiled and looked at Joanna shivering, "Don't worry, Joe, I'm fine." Ancient fire magic keeps me warm. ”

It was a childish lie, Albert's trembling voice had betrayed him, and Joanna could see through it, but she did not expose this childish and affectionate lie. She enjoyed being pampered, and she knew that Albert was pampering her too. If she rejects Albert's kindness, she is tantamount to rejecting Albert as a person. She could see that Albert had some inferiority, or rather boyish youth.
