When Achilles heard that the dog man and woman were dead, he happily opened another bottle of wine and poured the wine into the crystal glass, and he realized that Rick was suspecting that he had killed the dog man and woman. He angrily slapped the table, and he slapped the plate of half a chicken on the edge of the table and fell to the ground.

"I didn't doubt you! You don't have to be angry! I've examined the wounds of those two, and you can't get them. Okay, can you tell me a little bit about who Senna is? ”

Seeing Achilles so angry, Rick waved his hand to comfort the angry Achilles while returning the half chicken that had fallen to the ground to its original position.

Achilles didn't speak, he still looked at Rick very angrily.

Seeing that he was really angry this time, Rick had no choice but to pick up the wine bottle and fill his empty glass with wine, and then make amends with wine.

"I don't know her exact name. Senna was also given to her by me, and she didn't refuse when she heard the name. That's why I keep calling her that. ”

"He's not the daughter of those villagers, and he doesn't have giant blood, or meow blood, or elf blood. But she was very beautiful, she was slender and weak, and she didn't like to talk. I couldn't hear what she was saying as she spoke, a language I had never understood. She doesn't eat human food. Sometimes they disappear in the forest for a few days and then come back to stay with me. ”

Achilles smiled as he spoke. Beneath the monster-like exterior hides a shy and shy heart.

"So, you're a scumbag. With Senna, but also seduces those women who pass by. No, scumbags are all light, you are an out-and-out sea king. ”

The romance that comes out of Achilles' mouth is, in Rick's heart, an out-and-out scumbag. He looked at the monster in front of him with disdain, raised his arm, and extended his middle finger to Achilles with an international gesture.

"Damn it! I didn't! I am sincere every time, and my love for each of them is sincere. It was they who didn't love me, who approached me with some purpose, who played with my pure heart. ”

"Huh!"

"Damn wizards! I'm going to tear you apart! ”

Listening to Rick's taunt, Achilles exploded, and he threw the crystal cup in his hand to the ground, pointing at Rick with his sharp claws, wanting to duel him.

"No, strenuous exercise after a meal is not good for the stomach. That Senna of yours can't be the fairy of the lake who survived ancient times. Otherwise, you can't be so infatuated with her. ”

Rick waved his hand at Achilles' inevitable posture and leaned back in his chair.

"That's why I hate wizards, a bunch of prickly talkers. Senna is not a human, nor is she a baby, nor is she any other magical creature. Although I hated my grandfather, I had read his treasured books. I know most of the creatures in this forest. But I still don't know who she is.

I asked her, but she wouldn't tell me. Sometimes, when she gets angry, she disappears for a year or two. Even again, she disappeared for three years and two months. At that time, I thought that she would never appear in my presence again, but just when I was desperate, she appeared in front of me again as I stood in the garden and watered my love flowers. ”

"Well, have you ever thought that after you turn back into a human, she will always be by your side?"

"Nope! One thing I know for sure. She is afraid of humans and even very nasty. If I turn back into a human, she'll disappear from my world. ”

Achilles shook his head at Rick's suggestion.

He had long wanted to turn back into a human, but after meeting Xena. He gave up on that idea.

"That's up to you. I'm more concerned about one thing. You say you know all the magical creatures in this forest. So have you ever seen a mysterious creature that exudes darkness and evil all over its body, without flesh and shape, like Silent Ran? ”

Seeing that Achilles is still an infatuated species, Rick doesn't want to talk about the sour dog food stories anymore. He went straight to the point, wanting Achilles to ask if the mysterious creature in Alice's mouth was known to him.

"Although I have not seen Silent Ran, I guarantee that there are no silent creatures in the forest. But I once heard from a werewolf who stole me that there was a very evil and dark creature in the forest, and it might be the one you were looking for.

Listen, Rick. The werewolf said the dark creature was very powerful. I know you're strong, but I haven't seen that dark creature, and I'm not sure if you can defeat him. But as the owner of the house that entertained you tonight, I still advise you not to do those dangerous things. It's best to be alive. ”

Achilles recognized Rick as his friend from the bottom of his heart, but he was still very arrogant and didn't say it directly, I'm worried about your safety, don't go looking for that dark creature.

"Wizards, willing to risk their lives for the unknown."

"Well, it's almost time. You rest! Think of it like your home. ”

Seeing that Rick was desperate to find the dark creature, Achilles did not continue to persuade him to give up. Seeing that it was getting late and the two of them were well fed and satisfied, he recited a spell that Rick didn't understand, and cleaned up the leftovers from the table and the scraps on the floor.

"Thank you, Achilles. My friend! Good night then. ”

"Good night, my hated wizard friend, Rick."

When Achilles descended the stairs, Rick extinguished the candles in the room and fell asleep on a fairly comfortable bed.

Achilles now appears to be a monster, but from the conversation with Achilles, Rick discovers that the other party is just an innocent person who has been changed by a magic test. It seems tyrannical and cruel, but his heart is much kinder than those sanctimonious hypocrites.

So even if he lives in a monster's house, Rick can sleep peacefully.

It's not that he's in complete trust in Achilles, it's that he has enough confidence in his own strength.

......

Early in the morning, after saying goodbye to Achilles, Rick continued his walk deeper into the forest. In order to find the dark creature, Rick had thought of the worst-case scenario and searched the entire forest.

It didn't take long for the road conditions he encountered to get worse and worse. Rick paused and looked at the land in front of him as a mess of bushes, unknown dangers lurking in the shadows.

After slapping a venomous snake to death that was trying to attack him, Rick decided to use his flying skills to skipped through the treacherous jungle from above.

Not long after he had flown off, a maniacal roar and singing, mixed with the screams of a woman in pain, reached Rick's ears.
