534 Strange combinations
Fennie sat there huffing, not speaking. ∈↗
"Aristocrats are beautiful in thinness, but for commoners, it is more important to be able to do more work," Illo smiled and advised, "why should you compare yourself to them?"
"They?" said Fennie, looking up.
"Look. Illonunu, a stocky and sturdy proprietress walked briskly into the room, her waist as round as the bucket she carried.
"Is that really the case?" the girl's mood finally became a little better.
"Well, it's just a different aesthetic," Illo nodded, standing up, "Rest, we'll have to wake up early tomorrow." ”
"Wait," Fennie stopped him suddenly, cautiously asking, "is this, the aesthetic of your world?"
"No," Illo felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly pointed to the bearded boss, "It's his." ”
"And what about your aesthetics?" asked Fennie insistently.
With a hint of remembrance on the half-elf's face, he turned away and did not answer.
Fennie didn't dare to ask any more, so she followed him upstairs and into a different room.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, the clouds were overcast.
When it was dark, they set out and plunged headlong into the forest north of the town.
The moment he stepped into the jungle, Illo completely put away his scattered expression, his longbow in his hand, and watched the wind and grass around him vigilantly.
At this time, he is a real ranger.
"Twenty miles to the northwest, there is a cliff that hangs in the air, which is very suitable for eagles. He pulled out a map of animal skins, which marked several places to pay attention to.
"Why is it there for eagles?" said Fennie, looking up at him. Of course she had seen falcons, but not in the mountains, but on the arms of noble youths.
"Safe. At the same time, they have a wide field of vision," Illo casually explained, "and some giant eagles need to dive down from a great height to get a takeoff. ”
"Oh. The girl nodded as if she didn't understand.
Soon, though. She was in no mood to think about superfluous things. At first, Fennie took it as a special outing, looking around with great interest. But gradually, she finally realized that this wild and untamed forest was very different from the royal gardens she had visited in the past.
The mountains are rugged, the trees are tall and densely foliage, and these are tolerable. But thorny vines underfoot. But it kept tripping her legs like a trap. The thick layer of rotten leaves was as difficult as silt, and if she wanted to catch up with Illo, the girl would have to spend at least twice as much strength. And through the boots, she could even feel something squirming, which made her pretty face white, and she didn't dare to go too far away from the half-elf.
"It's just psychological," Fennie whispered to him. The other party comforted, "You know." Those snakes and insects have much sharper senses than yours, and even if they did, they would have fled long ago......"
When Fennie breathed a sigh of relief, Illo added in a slow voice, "Of course. If you feel bitten by something, it's better to sue me as much as possible. ”
A trembling aristocratic maiden and a half-elf strolling in the courtyard, this strange combination of adventurers, thus marching through the dense forest at the foot of the cast iron mountain.
It's just twenty miles. They spent most of the day.
Climb up, climb down again, exhausting and tired, and only move three or five miles, which is the norm in the mountains.
"Let's get here, let's rest for a while. For the first time, Fernie felt that what Illo said was as pleasant as heaven.
Ignoring the image of a lady or whether it was clean or not, she sat on the root of the tree and rubbed her sore ankles. For the first time in her life, a noble girl relied on her own feet to walk such a long mountain road. If it weren't for the gamble in her heart, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold on no matter what.
Illo smiled and told her to wait where she was, while she explored the bare cliff. Fennie was a little afraid to be alone, but on the one hand, she was too tired to move, and on the other hand, the half-elf was always in her field of vision, so she sat there, watching Illo up and down, as if looking for something.
It wasn't until the sky darkened that he rushed back, carrying two small gray-furred animals in his hands.
"Rested?" Illo asked.
"That's ......" Fennie stood up, gesturing at the prey in his hand.
"Rabbit, to-day's dinner," Illo beckoned, "let's go, there's a place over there that is more suitable for camping." ”
"Shall we stay here for one night?" asked Feenie in a whisper as she walked.
"I'm afraid it's more than one night," Illo glanced sideways at her, "of course, I can send you back at any time if you want to go back." ”
"No," Fennie shook her head, "I'll keep going." ”
"Whatever you want. Illo led her to the bottom of the cliff, to a deep cave. Not far away is a clear mountain stream, and the water falls from the mountain wall, splashing with crystal water.
"Wait. Seeing that the girl wanted to go to the cave, Illo stopped. He casually twisted the neck of the broken forest rabbit to prevent it from dying, then closed his eyes, turned on the "sensitive touch", and carefully investigated.
Fei Ni looked at the convulsive Lin Rabbit on the ground, remembering that she had raised such a pair in the General's Mansion, and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental, so she couldn't bear to look at it again.
Illo opened his eyes, frowning slightly. He pondered for a moment, drew his short knife, sharpened a wooden wedge, and turned and went into the cave. By the faint light of the hole, Fennie leaned down and plugged a small hole two fingers thick with a wooden wedge.
"Inside, there seems to be a snake," Illo clapped his hands in satisfaction and said casually, "It's too tortuous, so I can't kill it, so I have to block it inside." ”
"Is there any other exit to that little hole?" asked Fennie, thinking for a moment.
"Probably not, at least not for me. Illo didn't know, she asked what this was for.
"But won't the snake suffocate inside?" asked Fennie softly.
"Yes. Illo replied briefly, picking up the long ears of the rabbit and walking towards the stream.
"Why don't you chase it away?" asked Fennie, chasing after him.
"Trouble. Illo crouched by the stream, his knife fell, and the rabbit's head was cut off, and blood flowed.
He peeled the skin neatly and removed the internal organs. The clear water of the stream was gradually dyed red, but the flowing water rushed through it, and it was restored to its original state.
"Elves, don't they all cherish life?" asked Fennie.
"So there are fewer and fewer of them," Illo sneered, after a pause, "and there are more and more humans. ”
