Chapter 45
Monroe had regained her mobility, so she was naturally embarrassed to let the lame Seth help her, but she stepped forward to support him on the grounds that Seth was unable to move.
When there was a fat man on the side, even if she was supported by her because of Seth's diarrhea, she rarely took the initiative to speak, and now the two got along, and told each other their hearts, to Seth, she was a little more close, less reserved, and occasionally a trace of dazedness flashed in her eyes, but then dispersed......
Without the fat man as a light bulb, the atmosphere seems to be subtle, Seth smelled the faint aroma from the elf next to him, listened to her crisp and beautiful voice and spoke, it felt like a dream, this kind of emotion, he had never experienced it, only felt that a heart seemed to float to the sky, looking at the surrounding scenery, it was unprecedented and pleasing to the eye, even the leg injury, it seemed to have been much better......
The battle behind them had long been inaudible, and the two of them seemed to have completely forgotten that they were fleeing at the moment, and that there were two high-ranking samurai behind them who were fighting to the death for them......
Seth always thought that happiness or joy was due to getting good prey, because of solving the food problem, because of being able to obtain mercenary group membership and so on, he didn't think that talking would make people so happy, and listening to others would also make him feel so comfortable......
"Are you listening?" After Monroe said a few words, she couldn't help but be a little annoyed when she saw Seth's stupid and obviously distracted appearance, and let go of the hand holding Seth, and her face turned up.
Seth didn't pay attention, he stumbled under his feet, and he was about to fall, Monroe's stiff face immediately became nervous, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and reprimanded: "What are you thinking about? Talking to you, you are distracted, hum, if it weren't for my strength not recovering, I would definitely reward you with a lightning bolt......"
She used a threatening tone, but it seemed to hide her concern, and Seth smiled a little awkwardly and scratched her hair: "I was thinking, you...... You are so outstanding, so dazzling, how can you ...... How could it be...... It's just an unbelievable thing, so I've been asking myself repeatedly if I'm dreaming......"
A hint of crimson flashed on Monroe's face, but her eyes were full of smiles, and she snorted: "How can it be? Don't you even dare to speak clearly?"
Seth laughed, stared at her, and did not answer, Monroe looked at him, and after a while, she turned her face slightly to avoid his gaze, and whispered: "...... When I first met you, I actually had a very bad impression of you......"
Thinking of the scene of the first meeting, Seth couldn't help but glance at Monroe's feet a few times, and then turned his gaze to her chest, and suddenly his arm hurt, Monroe said angrily: "What obscene thoughts are you thinking in your heart? At that time, if you had stared at me with such eyes, I would have killed ......you a long time ago."
Seth put a smile on his face and said solemnly, "Okay, you go on, I promise not to think about anything!"
Looking at Seth's serious expression, a smile appeared on the corner of Monroe's mouth, and then said: "But I almost suffocated you to death with magic, and then I stunned you again, the anger in my heart dissipated a lot, looking at your embarrassed appearance, I was still slightly guilty at that time......
"Later, I followed you back to Wolmar Town, and I became your aunt again......" Speaking of this, Monroe's charming eyes with a smile, glanced at Seth, paused for a moment and continued: "Seeing your angry and helpless appearance, I am in a good mood, and I feel that you are also a little cute......"
"On the first night, staying in a human place, I actually felt a little nervous, and of course, a little novel......"
She seemed to be recalling her feelings, and thought for a while before she said slowly: "This novelty and tension disappeared after a few days, gradually, I actually got used to it, before going to bed at night, I occasionally chatted with you a few words, it seems that this feeling is not bad, the people in the town are good, they respect me, and they also have some closeness because they are your aunt, which makes my original impression of human beings not very good, and there are some changes......"
"When I fell for the conspiracy of those guys, I lost my strength, and you stood in front of me, although it was in vain for you to do this, but your back ......" she said this, looking up at Seth, her expression became serious: "At that time, staring at your back, I suddenly felt a kind of stability, this feeling, has never appeared in my heart, maybe because I didn't need anyone to stand in front of me before, I was thinking, if I can escape my life, I, how should I treat you?"
Her eyes became softer and softer, and her voice became softer: "We escaped, and you refused to leave, and a thought flashed through my heart, elves, humans, so what? Maybe I still had some scruples at that time, but after Cage found us, I didn't think about it so much, because ......"
Monroe's eyes closed slightly, and a hint of determination flashed on her face: "Since it's decided, then say it, then stick to it, maybe ...... There may be some obstacles, but ......"
She opened her eyes and looked at Seth and smiled softly, "Are you willing to take it with me?"
Set let out a long breath, nodded and said sincerely, "It's an honor!"
A bright smile appeared on Monroe's face, and the last words she said flashed in Seth's heart, and suddenly she had some bad premonitions, and asked, "Is it ...... Could it be that after returning to the Elven Kingdom, our affairs will be very troublesome......"
Before Monroe could answer, suddenly there was a muffled sound in the distance, which didn't sound loud, but then the ground began to tremble, and even the surrounding trees, as if blown by the wind, swayed from side to side, and after a moment of trembling, it was quiet again.
Seth and Monroe stopped talking, stared in the direction where the sound was coming from, and then looked at each other, Seth felt a little bitter in his mouth, and whispered, "Yes...... It's the direction in which Cage is fighting that guy, what's going on?"
When the two of them left that place, they could faintly hear the sound of fighting at first, but as the two of them left far enough, the sound was completely inaudible, and now there was such a might, it must be which of the two desperately used extremely destructive moves to have such a momentum, and from this point it can be judged that the two may have divided the winner and loser.
If the fat man wins, then there is nothing to be anxious about, but if the man in black wins, Seth and Monroe will be in danger, even if the man in black is injured in the fight with the fat man, with his strength, it will not take too long to catch up with the two, and Monroe and Seth have no ability to resist at the moment.
Monroe's face became solemn, and he glanced at Seth who was about to speak, but Seth had already preemptively said: "Don't try to persuade me to leave...... The expression on his face was firm: "Let's try to go fast now, if we really can't escape......"
There was a hint of determination on Seth's face, if the man in black won, he would lose more than just his life, that guy's thoughts had already been exposed at the beginning, and he sighed softly: "I...... I'm never going to let that guy insult you, or that choice, I'll kill you, and then I'll kill myself!"
Monroe responded softly, with infinite tenderness on her face: "I listen to you!"
The two were originally chatting while walking, but now they have quickened their pace, Monroe's strength is not great, after all, she is a magician, and she does not have an advantage in physical strength, and when she helped Seth walk slowly, she was barely able to support, but now the two of them have accelerated their steps, and they seem a little embarrassed, and they almost rolled to the ground together several times.
After walking for about ten minutes, there was a sound of heavy footsteps in the jungle in the distance behind them, the two looked at each other, sighed, knew that they couldn't escape, and they didn't bother to continue to run, stopped and turned around, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, Seth held Monroe's shoulder with one hand, and gently pulled out the dagger from his arms with the other hand, glanced at the direction where the footsteps came, his eyes focused on Monroe's face, and he refused to leave for a moment.
A fat figure appeared in the eyes of the two, and after Seth glanced at it casually, he put the dagger back with a look of ecstasy on his face, and shouted, "It's him, it's him...... He's won, haha, we're fine......"
The solemnity on Monroe's face also disappeared, replaced by joy, and before he could speak, the fat man in the distance shouted loudly: "Damn, Lao Tzu almost lost his life in order to help you, why are you still standing there? Come and help me!"
After saying this, the fat man screamed, turned a somersault and fell to the ground, Seth and Monroe came back to their senses, hurriedly walked towards him, and came to the fat man's side, only then did they realize that the fat man's situation was obviously very bad.
He was lying on the ground at the moment, with several deep wounds on his back, some of which even revealed the bones inside, one of his left hands was missing, and the broken arm was wrapped in clothes indiscriminately, and there was still blood coming out, and his right hand was still holding the scimitar tightly, and the blood on his thick thigh had wet all his pants......
Seth lifted the fat man hard, staring at his thrilling injury, the fat man had tossed him and ridiculed him A little resentment had long disappeared, leaving only gratitude in his heart, the fat man's face was a little pale, and he struggled to sit down, gasping for a moment, and then he recovered a little, Monroe sprinkled several kinds of medicinal powder on his wounds in a row, and the blood slowly stopped gushing out.
Before the two of them could ask, the fat man regained a little strength, and suddenly laughed: "Damn, this kid has always been unpleasant to me, always thinking that I was jealous of his identity, always thinking that his strength surpassed mine, hum...... Lao Tzu dared to fight hard, desperately injured, and finally killed him, haha, happy, but unfortunately there is no wine ......"
