Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Lakeside Under the Starry Night.
"An Ling, after being promoted to gold, you're going to leave the adventure group, right?"
Maggie's unwavering words made An Ling stunned.
"Why?"
He asked.
Why do you want to leave after entering the gold?
Maggie smiled helplessly and said:
"The pace of adventure is completely different from that of our Silver Adventurers, and when you enter Gold, you will feel that everything we do with Silver is boring and unprofitable. At that point, you'll be looking for adventures that you can go to, but we can't do. So leaving the team would be a no-brainer. ”
An Ling opened his chin and asked:
"Is that such a simple reason?"
"A very realistic reason."
Maggie said.
"When you enter the gold, your strength will be very different from ours, and then you will feel that every aspect of your life will force you to leave, just like a bird that grows up will not linger."
"Haha~"
An Ling laughed, waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry, I won't leave you then. Whatever the reason, I have faith in myself. ”
Maggie's thoughts are completely redundant, if she wants to leave the Iris Adventure Group, she must not leave because of the difference in strength, because it is a pity.
However, this also reminded An Ling that he would not give up his cultivation of the magic of light and flame, even if it was just a toy. But as his toy grows stronger and more leveled, he becomes more and more out of step with the Iris Adventures.
There is an inexplicable reason, An Ling does not like this.
Gently looking at the faces of each of the girls in the Iris Adventure Group, An Ling lowered his head, wondering if he was going to find some way to speed up their strength.
At least keep this adventure game as long as possible and don't end it so boringly and prematurely.
After hearing An Ling's words, Maggie didn't say much, but squinted and smiled, and said:
"Haha, your words are really happy."
"Let's all work harder."
Talia pursed her lips and said depressedly:
"I'm only a silver four-star, how can I chase it~"
At this time, Sheena, who had always been weak and quiet, suddenly raised her hand and said:
"I feel like I'm going to be four stars in silver, and the adventurous life has benefited me a lot."
This kind of speed is very fast, you must know that Sheena was only two stars when she just left the church. It's only been a few days now, and it seems that the adventure life that she has never had before has really brought her great growth.
Hina's words seemed to start a conversation box, and then everyone else talked about the progress of their adventures over the past few days.
The growth of the mana seed lies in the process of mana being constantly full and consumed, but how to consume mana will affect the growth rate of the seed. Adventure is really a nice channel for boosting.
……
Because they were in a hurry, they chatted for a while after dinner and then fell asleep.
Tonight is Sheena's vigil, which she took her own initiative.
Generally speaking, a mage member like Magisina can not perform a vigil, and the vigil task is only rotated between the three warriors such as An Ling. But Maggie, as the head of the regiment, occasionally took on the duty of keeping vigil.
And Sheena didn't want to be special in the team, so she also asked for an active vigil tonight.
Maggie struggled with her for a while, and after finding that Sheena was very persistent, she didn't say anything more.
……
It was night, An Ling lay on the ground bunk and pretended to be asleep, and his heart was bored.
At this time, An Ling was a little uncomfortable. He couldn't sleep at all, but he had to close his eyes and act like he was asleep, and he couldn't even see the starry sky.
At this moment, a light and soft footstep sounded in his ears.
"Anneung~Anling~"
A finger poked his chest.
An Ling opened his eyes and asked the silver-haired girl with a beautiful face in front of him:
"What's wrong, Sheena?"
Sheena blinked and whispered:
"You can't sleep, can you, get up and talk to me for a while?"
"Oh~"
An Ling twisted his nose, stood up and slowly walked to the shore of the lake with Hina and sat down, looking at the beautiful lake reflecting the entire bright starry sky.
"An Ling, can you promise me one thing."
Hina asked, hugging her knees and looking at the lake.
"Huh?"
An Ling was slightly surprised and asked:
"What's the matter?"
Sheena lowered her head, her eyelashes fanned lightly, and said:
"Can you give me a promise to stay in the party for a long time and not leave us."
An Ling paused, and then smiled heartily:
"Absolutely, that's what I think."
"Thanks, pull the hook."
As a light sacrifice, she didn't ask An Ling to swear to the light, but stretched out her slender and smooth little thumb to An Ling like a child.
An Ling smiled and generously hooked Shena's little finger.
The two held hands and put them on the grass, and then An Ling's heart moved, and he asked Sheena again:
"Sheena, you have love for me, don't you?"
"Huh?"
Sheena's eyes widened, and her face turned pink for a moment.
"You~ Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Answer my question first, Sheena."
Sheena shrank back, then closed her eyes in shame and kissed An Ling on the cheek very boldly.
After that, she slowly opened her eyes again, and in addition to shyness, there was also a stubbornness that belonged to her character.
"An Ling, I never hide it. I love the feeling of being with you, I ...... Love you. ”
An Ling looked at the extremely beautiful and touching shy face of the silver-haired girl in the moonlight, and in the face of the girl's sincere gesture, An Ling wanted to make any expression, but he couldn't do it.
At this moment, he hopes that there will be some emotional reflection in his heart. But no, his heart is still empty and empty, and in the face of Sheena's show of love, his soul is still like stagnant water.
Because of the lack of humanity in his soul, he can't feel Sheena's love and can't respond.
An Ling had a faint premonition that if he didn't feel it in the face of the girl's show of love, he would miss an extreme beauty, but he couldn't do it.
He could smell the very complex, very unique emotional smell emanating from Sheena's soul at this moment. But it just feels like it's a nice and dreamy smell. In the face of this beautiful taste, there is a rare lack of desire for destruction and destruction in his soul.
After staring at Hina for a few seconds, An Ling had a fake but soft enough smile on his face and asked:
"Sheena, how do you expect me to reciprocate your love?"
Sheena didn't say it, An Ling really didn't understand this.
"Huh?"
An Ling's words instantly made Xina at a loss.
I saw the soft and moving silver-haired sacrificial girl turn her head to the side, squeeze An Ling's hand, and whispered:
"No, I don't need your response, we'll get along like this, and that's how I like it."
"Why don't you respond?"
An Ling tilted his head and continued to ask.
This seems to be a little different from what Talia said.
"Heh~"
Hina suddenly squinted and shook her head and smiled, squeezed An Ling's hand and said:
"If you respond to me, it will ruin the harmony in the party. Not responding is the best, good for Maggie, Talia, and them. It's good for you, you can enjoy more. ”
"We are all together in such a harmonious company, and everything is very happy."
"I don't understand."
An Ling twisted his nose in confusion.
Sheena's words were foggy, and he didn't quite understand them.
