Chapter 15: Back to the Prison Farm

Even though it was clear that Marco didn't dare to do anything to Lord Wet, Cross put down what he was holding and walked closer.

"This is the nest of monster eggs I found, Lord Miao." Marco respectfully invited him to the ground, pointing to the egg of some kind of snake monster on the ground.

Snake monsters don't usually hatch eggs in the cold winter, but that doesn't mean they won't lay eggs...... There are always monsters who do such things that are completely inexperienced.

It's like a group of monsters with fire element attributes, there will always be a few water element attributes or earth element attributes.

Marco's luck was good, he found a nest of abandoned monster eggs nearby, and all but a few monster eggs were able to hatch properly during the coming winter season.

And it just so happened that Marco knew about the silver wolf cub named "Xiao Yuan" on the way here, and they even helped find a lot of monster eggs along the way.

The discovery of this nest of monster eggs is simply an excuse given to Marco by God.

Sure enough, the monster named Mao was attracted without any suspicion, and came to a few meters away from Marko's body without any defense.

"Lord Wet."

Marko looked up, and before the other could speak, he knew it was the human slave named Cross.

However, what Marco was going to do was not worried about being discovered, so when he saw Kroos, his expression was as usual, and he was not seen to be wrong at all.

Cross looked around suspiciously, not noticing anything wrong, but his intuition told him that it was best not to stay long, so when he saw the nest of monster eggs on the ground, he immediately spoke, "Lord Mao, I'll help you." ”

Carrying things is somewhat inconvenient for monsters, especially the monster eggs are more fragile, and they will be crushed if you throw them hard - although the snake eggs are relatively soft, but when the weather is cold, the shell will become harder, which can also be said to be frozen and brittle.

Wet looked down at Marko, and then at Cross, it was closer to Marco in his heart.

Because Marco is stronger than Cross, and dragons have always liked the strong, but because Lu Xi usually has a better attitude towards Cross, he still favored Cross when he chose.

"Roar!" Mi Mao yelled at Cross, meaning that it was probably handed over to you.

glanced at the monster egg the size of a football, lowered his head and put one in his mouth, and flew up to find Xiao Yuan, after all, this thing is actually what Xiao Yuan likes.

Cross couldn't take away so many monster eggs alone, so he ran back and called a few people to help, during which Marco looked at him so calmly that he couldn't see what he had done.

It wasn't until nightfall, when only the people on duty had not yet fallen asleep, that Marco returned to the place where he had landed, and in a wave of earth elemental power that did not fluctuate much, a pair of monster footprints slowly appeared on the ground.

There are three levels of camouflage of illusion – deception of sight, deception of touch, and camouflage of existence.

The lowest level of deceptive vision is equivalent to covering a veil that makes people unable to see clearly, but in fact, it is exposed when you reach out and touch it.

Medium deceptive touch will change the tactile sensation when reaching out to touch it, making people feel like they are touching the corresponding thing, but in normal times, it is no different from covering the veil.

The highest camouflage existence, that is, the means of changing oneself and lifting the veil from the physical object, is obviously not enough and is the most difficult to detect.

From Marko's point of view, the elemental magic weapon on Mao's neck will definitely not exceed the second type.

In other words, even if it looks like a dragon, bird and beast, it feels like a dragon, bird and beast, but when it falls to the ground and faces the touch of the "earth", only its original footprints will be revealed.

"...... this?" Marco looked up in shock and looked at the very center of the entire rest camp.

……

It was the first time that Betham had lived in a carriage that was better than his master, and he always felt very unaccustomed to it, which made him inexplicably full of uneasiness.

Fortunately, there is also Young Master Xiuge, Betham compared the composition of Miss Lucy's carriage, and his position is equivalent to the head maid Sani, which is relatively relieved.

It was not like a tent outside in the carriage to worry about the temperature, and while making his bed, Betham couldn't help but want to chat with Young Master Xiuge, so as to learn about the situation of the spiritual farm he was about to go to.

As a starting point for the topic, the most suitable one is, of course, Miss Lucy.

The topic of complaining about the host's house is the easiest to get a response, as long as you follow the other party's attitude to decide whether to deepen the complaint or change the praise, it is usually not cold.

"I don't know how Miss Lucy likes those two pets so much that she lets them sleep in the carriage." Betham sighed, feeling that his children were not studying well and were addicted to games.

Lu Xi had to be glad that his carriage was big enough, and he could finally get in two monster cubs.

"Because I don't feel safe." Shuge thought for a moment and gave Betem's unexpected answer.

Betham subconsciously felt that it was impossible, but looking at Young Master Xiuge's expression, it didn't seem like a lie, and he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why does Miss Lucy still feel uneasy?" ”

With so many guards and a knight here, there's no safer environment than this.

"Miss Lucy, she, alone, has been living in the wild for almost two months." Shuge had already finished his bed and replied to Betem while changing his clothes.

The news had already spread throughout the Tanlsir, and Xiuge was not exposing Lu Xi's secrets, but just telling him the news that Betem would know sooner or later.

After all, the Dragon Hunter Mercenary Group has no obligation to hide news from Lu Xi, or in other words, Lu Xi can also be regarded as one of their businesses worth publicizing.

Escorting a lost aristocratic lady sounds like a kind of "mercenary romance" that can bring them considerable fame.

Isn't it precisely because of hearing these news that Mayor Skench has some careful thoughts?

"Huh?" Betham was stunned for a moment, he knew that Miss Lucy had an accident when she inherited the Spiritual Farm, but he didn't know much about the specific situation.

When Levert brought them here, he was in a hurry and didn't have time to inquire about anything.

Then, under Betham's increasingly guilty gaze, Shuge recounted some of the stories he had heard from Lu Xi about surviving in the wilderness.

For example, how did she meet Xiaoyuan, and how did she survive in the Proda Forest...... It's usually some interesting things that Lu Xi finds interesting.

For example, when you wake up and find a monster lying on your body, you will be scared at the time, but in hindsight, you will find it very interesting.

But smart people can often hear other things from these stories, such as how terrifying it is to fall asleep in the wild without warning, and suddenly a monster appears next to you.

Betham thought more, so he could empathize more with Miss Lucy's plight, in his eyes, Miss Lucy was probably already strongly stimulated by that tragic experience, and could only sleep peacefully in the company of those two demon pets who depended on each other.

Normally, those aristocratic ladies should be like this.

Bethham regretted all the more for what he had just said, and even prevented Miss Lucy from accessing her "spiritual comfort" during the break, as if he had forced a nervous little girl to leave her family.

Miss Lucy must have been lonely, lost, and helpless at that time.

He's damned...... Betham struggled to sleep all night in this feeling of guilt.

When I met Miss Lucy the next morning, she had two dark panda eyes on her face.

Lu Xi was in good spirits, and when he saw Betem's appearance, he almost squirted out a mouthful of porridge.

"Aren't you used to sleeping in a carriage, Betham? Have someone pitch a tent for you tonight? Lu Xi reflected, did he not care about anything, arranged too much work for the team, and tired Betham to stay up late?

Hearing that the kind Miss Lucy was still caring about herself, Betham's eyes gradually moistened, what a good Miss Lucy, he is really not human.

"No, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me." Betham choked up and replied earnestly.

Lu Xi didn't think about it so much, seeing that Betem was not in a very good state, and he happened to be idle and had nothing to do, so he asked Betem to go back to the carriage to rest, and he came to direct the convoy to march.

Anyway, it's not a trouble, the convoy has been on the road for such a long time, and how to walk every day, how to arrange things, how to pack things is already very proficient.

Lu Xi only needs to see if no one is falling behind, and if anyone can't keep up with the convoy, she doesn't even have to get out of the carriage during this period, and someone runs errands for her to deliver the news.

Moved Betham again, such a caring noble lady has never heard of it.

The return trip was three days faster than when I came, on the one hand, I was more leisurely when I came, and I didn't care much about the speed along the way, on the other hand, I brought a lot of carriages on the way back, and people who were in a hurry didn't have to deliberately accommodate them, so they slowed down and only needed to travel on the carriage, and the overall speed was improved.

To Lu Xi's flatterment, when she returned to the Lingyuan Farm, she didn't expect Rowem to bring a group of people to pick her up at the door.

They don't send themselves away and then leave without moving, waiting for them to come back, right? Lu Xi thought quietly.

However, seeing that the clothes on Rowem and the others had been thickened several times, and they were not the ones she wore when she left, Lu Xi's idea naturally did not hold.

"Miss Lucy." Rowem came up.

Betem, who was standing beside Lu Xi, stared at him and realized that this was his next "opponent".

And Lu Xi's attention was completely off this, she stared at the game panel in front of her, a little dizzy.

……

Stop...... She couldn't remember what it was, and Lu Xi couldn't help but hold her temples.

The amount of information is a bit large, and her head hurts.

"Miss Lucy?" Although Betham was vigilantly watching his considered opponent Rowem, most of his attention was still on Lu Xi.

After seeing Lu Xi holding down his temples, he hurriedly turned around and asked nervously.

"I'm fine...... No, I may need a quiet place to rest. Lu Xi looked back at the convoy of so many people behind him.

She felt that it was more troublesome to arrange this group of people, so she looked at Betam and Roweem, and then retreated decisively, this kind of thing is still left to others to trouble, she concentrates on studying the game task.

Come to think of it, Rowem should know how to arrange things on the farm, right?

Looking at Rowem, who was already showing a very humane smile in front of him, Lu Xi couldn't help but think.

At two o'clock in the morning, Betem suddenly woke up and gave himself a mouthful: I am really not human!
