137. Icewolf
Although there is no 'abstinence' among the knight's five virtues, if the lady's wild remarks are heard by Lan En, it is estimated that the young man's heart will still be pounding.
Although he had always known that the Lady of the Lake was a very down-to-earth god, it was a bit beyond his imagination that a god of virtue would want to sleep with him.
The process of crossing the rift where the celestial spheres meet, Lan En thought it would be similar to stepping through Triss's portal.
But it turns out that the young man is still too young.
It was as if he had been sitting in a rocking cart for an hour, and he felt like his esophagus was regurgitating uncontrollably.
Even with Lan En's will and physique, he swallowed a lot of saliva before he suppressed the strength of his nausea.
"Ai, Arya, are you okay?"
The little girl's expression was serious, just as she had done when she first passed through the portal, waving her hand as if nothing had happened.
But faster than that portal experience, this time she didn't even fully lift her hands, and her cheeks on both sides puffed out like hamsters
"Wow !!"
"Okay, I see."
Lan En raised an eyebrow and went over to pat the little girl on the back.
Arya vomited while Lane began to observe her surroundings.
Much like what he had heard on the other side of the chasm, it was a field of trees and shrubs.
Judging by the humid air and the faint sound of water, there should be a small river nearby.
It was dark at night, and shadowy firelight was looming in the deep forest.
Those with torches were shouting Arya's name.
When shouting, their attitudes were mostly respectful, in line with Arya's status as the young daughter of a great nobleman.
But in the midst of the whispered curses that followed the shouting, Lane heard a lot of scorn built up around the image of 'wolf'.
Wolf girls, wolf mongrels and the like.
Is it a force that doesn't deal with the Starks?
Why would Alya's parents allow these people to participate in searches?
Almost instantaneously, a series of speculations flashed through Lan's mind.
He was no longer a fledgling college student or a witcher, and his experience investigating the slave trade of Count Stesa had taken him a long way.
Arya's reaction through the celestial sphere meeting rift had gradually subsided, and at that moment, Lan En turned his head slightly to look at the bushes beside him.
The sound of the body rubbing against the grass and trees suddenly sounded.
A gray-white shadow roared out, and the bloody mouth bit directly at Lan En's throat!
The size of this shadow is already stronger than that of ordinary wolves in the wild, and its speed and ferocity are far beyond that of ordinary wild wolves.
But in the face of an attack of this level, or aware of it in advance, Lan En didn't even have a trace of emotion.
The palm of his hand that was patting Arya's back had reached the expected position beforehand.
When the gray-white shadow pounced, his palm grabbed the other party's throat.
The physical struggle and the rush of the momentum were meaningless to Lan En's strong arm muscles.
didn't even have a hard stun after being hit, Lan En directly "bang", pinched his neck and slammed the gray shadow directly to the ground!
The other hand was clenched into a fist and raised slightly, and the glove fist with triangular nails on the outside was about to be smashed down.
"My lord! Wait a minute! ”
Arya saw the gray shadow pressed to the ground by Ran, a muscular wolf.
An ice wolf that isn't too big.
"This is Nymelia! This is my wolf! ”
Lan En's cat's eyes met the wolf pupils on the ground, and even if it was suppressed to such an extent, the wolf's eyes still did not give in.
The hind legs and front paws were still scratching at Ran's armor.
There's a twist.
Just like Arya.
"The blood in its mouth is human blood, Arya."
With a light sniff, Lan En could distinguish the smell that was already familiar to him.
"Nope! It's not human blood, it's human blood, but it's Joffrey's blood! ”
Arya anxiously explained, she knew very well what Len's strength was, and what Len's attitude was towards 'cannibalism'.
If this punch really hits, it is estimated that Nemelia's head will turn into a puddle.
"I hit Joffrey with a stick, and Joffrey chased me with a sword, and then Nymeria bit him! It's not its fault! ”
Arya wrapped her hands around Lanen's fist-raising arm to keep him from falling.
"Alright Arya, calm it down, I'll have to make sure it doesn't bare its teeth anymore before I let go."
Icewolves do look different from normal wolves.
As Nymelia struggled under Lann's men, her fangs bared and she roared and bitten. But when Arya's hand touched its head, although Lanen's suppressed movements did not change, it suddenly became as docile as a domestic puppy.
It has a high IQ, and generally well-trained domestic dogs will temporarily ignore the comfort of their owners in the event of a crisis and rage.
Lan En slowly let go of the hand that was pressing the wolf's neck.
Namelia did indeed do as Arya said, she didn't bite reflexively, and she didn't reflexively bite or re-bare her teeth.
Instead, he buried his head in Arya's arms and chirped.
Arya was like a little girl playing with her pet, hugging the big wolf's head.
Lan En stood to the side, looking with his hands on his chest.
"Great, Nymelia! You haven't run far yet, with Lan En here, you don't have to leave me! ”
But after the little girl was intimate with the wolf for a while, Lan En noticed that Arya's expression had become a little confused.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing, it's just" Arya fiddled with the big wolf's head from side to side, looking closely.
From time to time, Nymelia licked the tip of her nose without the slightest dodge.
"The blood on Namelia's mouth is indeed what it looked like the day Joffrey bit him, but. Does it still feel wet? But I've been gone for a long time, haven't I? ”
Arya remembers the details of the day she beat Joffrey, after all, she drove Nymelia away with her own hands that day to avoid the royal family's revenge.
She knew that the royal family couldn't kill herself, but she could definitely kill an ice wolf.
The memory of parting was always clear, and she remembered the shape of the blood on Nymelia's mouth very clearly.
"Time doesn't flow at the same rate?" Lane guessed. "After all, it is across the world, and it is possible that the flow of time is not the same."
Then he saw that Arya was looking at him in confusion, obviously not understanding the meaning of the word.
And just as Lan was about to explain it to her, a loud cheer rang out from the distance of the woods.
"Aha! We've got the butcher's son! ”
"Hurry up, hurry up! Give it to the 'hound' and we'll get your reward! ”
This time the voice was not small, even Arya could hear it clearly.
Her expression suddenly tightened, and she whispered, "It's Mikay!" He's caught! ”
