Chapter 54: The Village by the River
Ai Xingyan stroked the fawn's immature skull, and the golden hair brought a soft feeling.
The fawn looked up, and its brown eyes seemed to convey some kind of love.
Before I knew it, I had been with them for so long......
As soon as a smile appeared on the prince's lips, a group of panicked fawns rushed over.
At the same time, the vibrations gradually stopped, and their steps gradually changed from chaotic to steady.
In this way, they swept past Peterkie's side, surrounding Ai Xingyan and the fawn like relatives who had come to visit.
The crisp deer chirped in unison, and their eager eyes seemed to have regarded Ai Xingyan as a friend who shared weal and woe.
The prince waved at them.
One of them immediately responded, only to see it pacing to the rescued fawn and gently touching the scar of the other party with its tongue from the stone.
Then, it turned around again and helped Ai Xingyan straighten the corners of his clothes.
"Are you really, completely reassured of me?" Ai Xingyan couldn't help but say, "Now, it's out of danger, it's time to return to you." ”
But the deer shook their heads at the same time.
Ai Xingyan wondered, and at this time, it saw that the fawn was snuggled up to it with full attachment, and its ignorant eyes were as bright as human babies.
He knew that this guy was going to stay by his side.
At the same time, the leading stag stretched out his hoof and pointed at his companion's head, chirped slightly, and then turned his head.
Well, I can't help it... Ai Xingyan instantly understood: Then let it go with you, it just so happens that you need someone to accompany you along the way...
So he nodded at the deer, turned around and ran into the distance.
Suddenly, Ai Xingyan seemed to see a future under a clear sky, and all the world would be bathed in love and sunshine...
He glanced at the fawn again, and the thought in his heart flickered.
"What's your name?" He mused.
At this moment, the fawn let out a bell-like melodious chirping.
"By the way, your voice is better than many musical instruments, like a bell in the autumn wind, so let's call you a wind chime."
Ai Xingyan touched the fawn's head again, and at this time, Peterqi looked at the evergreen greenhouse that had been restored to its original state, and couldn't help but yearn for the outside world.
"Yo... You see, at the door of the Sword God's secret room, is there a little strange color coming in? ”
Following the direction of his finger, Ai Xingyan finally understood that the moment to return to reality was about to come...
So, with a little melancholy, he walked out side by side with Peterch, and the animals formed a tight formation behind them, reluctant and touching.
Among them, there are unicorns with pure white winged feathers, jeweled deer with blue eyes, even silver-gray angel Pegasus, and countless strange creatures of all kinds.
Compared with them, the deer next to Ai Xingyan is a little ordinary.
"Thank you, everyone, the days with you are the happiest time of my life."
He waved happily at the animals, turned and walked with Petch to the door.
Soon, they were outside the gate.
At this moment, there is still a deep realm hidden behind the gate, and in Ai Xingyan's memory, he had experienced a thrilling test of courage here seven years ago...
Peterch, on the other hand, looked a little cautious, and could see that he understood the dangers of the underworld.
A light rose in Ai Xingyan's hand, and between the white and flawless walls, the two of them walked all the way, and they actually came to the side of the ancient elevator.
Petch reached out and gently flicked it.
"Are you going to go up?" He asked curiously.
"Yo, these chains are infused with gemstone magic and will never rust." Petqi recognized the mechanism of the elevator chain at a glance, and he stepped forward with Ai Xingyan.
In the blink of an eye, a magical protection appeared next to the two of them, and at the same time, one after another illusions were intertwined on the wall.
Petqi closed his eyes, and soon, they were all the way to the top of the Falling Sword Peak.
The protection was revoked, and Petqi reached the center of the secret chamber at the summit, only to be surprised to find that there were thousands of steps under his feet.
"Could it be that we are at an altitude of several thousand meters?" Peterqi said eagerly, and Ai Xingyan smiled slightly.
Nowadays, they are all masters with unique skills, and it is not a problem at all with only 7,000 steps.
"I bet with you that after walking down the stairs, I'll get to the finish line before you." The pirate said arrogantly, while Ai Xingyan snorted coldly.
As soon as the words were spoken, the figures of the two moved like the wind, shuttling up and down the steps, and the surroundings were empty, and with each step they took, they crossed dozens of steps.
Tens of seconds passed in the dark, and when they came to the flat ground under the stairs, not only did they not have any tiredness, but they also felt a sense of sympathy again.
At this moment, it can be seen that the positions of the two are almost parallel, and it seems that this game is a tie.
Moments later, Ai Xingyan pushed the mechanism of the stone gate and appeared in the sunlight with the pirate Peterch.
Now, the outside world is in the evening, and the brilliant afterglow has cloned the sleeping earth, and the faint light of miracles is mixed with this dazzling picture.
Peterch turned.
"One last reminder, I'm going back, the world of Liberty Island is calling you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
He cast his gaze eagerly.
But Ai Xingyan still shook his head in confusion.
"Thank you for your musket and for always being with me, now I have to rush to the north as soon as possible." 、
"Well, that's not bad, considering we're far apart, so—" The two looked at each other in unison.
"Well, then, leave it at that." They high-fived themselves in the setting sun, and their figures gradually ran in opposite directions...
The fawn let out a gentle chirp, and in the blink of an eye, the prince had formed an indissoluble bond with the pirate.
To be on the safe side, Ai Xingyan asked it to return to the Void Territory for the time being.
Then he rented a fast horse at a nearby post house and began to gallop north day and night.
Two days later...
A faint wisp of cooking smoke appeared in front of Ai Xingyan's eyes, the atmosphere of the countryside came to his face, and the peaceful atmosphere was enveloped here, and Ai Xingyan understood that he had come to a new village.
On its side, there is also a meandering river, and it seems that there must be a group of good people living here.
Ai Xingyan stepped up his horse and left the scenery on the side far behind
