Led was now lying in the saddle of a custom-made chaise longue, the six-legged monitor lizard crawling quickly but steadily, and the silver-haired female apprentice on his side, Des, looked at him from time to time while guarding his surroundings.

A few days ago, Des rushed back to the nearest human city, Shippert City, with Hede on her back, retrieved the two six-legged monitor lizards that had been fostered in a riding animal breeding ground, replenished some special supplies under Hede's arrangement, and then immediately began to rush back to Roland City.

For the sake of safety, Heide chose the route to belong to the area within the Human Empire, but even if it is within the empire, it does not mean that there are no more vicious demonic beasts in the wild, so Des on the side is still very vigilant.

"Mentor, are you still not eating?" asked Dess in a whisper.

"Now my physical condition is very special, I can't eat any food, we need to rush back to Sepenter City as soon as possible, buy some low-grade crystal nuclei, and combine them with a special crystal nucleus feeding formula to nourish my body, and after about a month, I can return to eating. ”

"However, if you don't eat for a month, ......"

"I have special ways to keep my strength going. Head replied lightly, now thinking about the handling of the silver-haired female apprentice.

Before he could ask, Des took the initiative to tell Hade everything about her previous behavior, including her daily hunting exercises, and taking time to dig passages.

"Mentor, I know that this arbitrary judgment has caused you a lot of trouble, and I am mentally prepared that you can punish me in any way. The silver-haired girl's serious expression at that time made Hade not know whether to be angry or funny.

Punished in any way?Head was a little sneering, thinking that Dess was a little naïve in some way. To be honest, the situation this time is quite complicated. It was also an afterthought that he figured out all aspects of the situation, and Des's behavior was actually a typical good intention to do bad things.

The silver-haired girl who disobeyed his orders this time was fine though Zuihou. But the harm caused by her reckless behavior was enough to cause both of them to suffer misfortune at the same time, even if it wasn't because of the encounter with the Dragon Veiner. It is also likely to trigger the siege of the Alchemy Constructor Guard, which is very likely to happen, in which case not only Des will not be spared at all, but Hede, who is trapped inside, is likely to lose important supply channels and slowly starve to death.

"I'm also responsible for the reason for this, after all, I've hidden too much from her," Hade sighed inwardly, but there were some things that were very important and complicated, and he really didn't want Dess to know about them.

There was some concern about Des's being wrapped in that strange pale golden orb, and Zuihou was explained by Dess himself who was not very clear. Nevertheless, Head had a general understanding of why.

The Titan Armament, the unfinished body of the Armor of Thea, is the true name of the metal sphere.

Hed glanced at Des's golden headband with a ponytail, although Des's waist-length silver hair had been cut in half because of the previous fight, but it still reached the length of the shoulders, so the silver-haired girl still followed the habit of shrinking the strange weapon that could freely control the size and shape into a simple hairband, and tied a silver hair into a ponytail.

This treatment is also suggested by Head, and such a form is not easy to notice. And close to the head position, you can quickly manipulate your consciousness to form a golden streamlined protective armor in an instant.

Although there is no time to slowly shiyan the various functions of this unique alchemical armor, just judging from the way it operates and the characteristics that it forms according to the body shape, the other functions should be very powerful and comprehensive. At the same time, it is quite suitable for Des's giant inheritance.

When the silver-haired girl enters the transformation state and arms this set of Thea armor, Hide even feels that her image resembles the legendary Golden Titan Giant, although Des's current giant form is less than seven meters. But at least it's a small gold titan giant.

While the two of them were resting on the way, Des carefully took out the low-grade crystal nuclei that she had purchased from Sepenter City. Let Hide raise his hand to select the right crystal nucleus and match it into a special crystal nucleus formula, and then watch Hide send the crystal nucleus into his mouth with concern. Then he handed the water with a concerned face.

But the more she took care of Hyde so carefully, the more it made Hyde feel inappropriate, the current silver-haired female apprentice was too focused on herself, and even her own safety had been put on the back burner, just like what happened this time, could this really be a good thing for herself?

"Des. Softly calling the name of the female apprentice, as expected, she immediately looked at herself intently, and Hade sighed slightly.

"I remember you said before that you wanted to be strong enough to protect anyone, including me, right?"

Although the silver-haired girl was a little puzzled, she still nodded firmly, but she also said a little astringently: "I know that my current strength is not enough to protect my mentor, but ......"

"Well, I see, it's late today, let's go to bed first. ”

Hide waved his hand, turned around and got into the tent of setting up haode, but he smiled slightly bitterly in his heart, just just wanted to protect others? This can be regarded as a kind of obsession that can become a driving force, but Haven really doesn't want her to be that kind of person, because the obsession of protecting others too strong usually makes her ignore her own safety, and people with such a character usually don't have too many results.

After that, Des was stunned for a long time, and silently turned into her tent and got into her sleeping bag, but she was a little uneasy.

The mentor's words were a bit clueless, but after so long, he still didn't clearly say the punishment for himself, nor did he show forgiveness for himself, which made the silver-haired girl feel very puzzled and very uneasy, if Hide had beaten himself up in anger before, maybe she would feel better, but ......

Des, who had been tossing and turning, rolled over and noticed that the tent where Hede was not far away had been lit with the faint light of a small magic lamp, reflecting the figure of Hede sitting on his back, as if he had been writing something.

Looking at the slightly swaying figure with some attention, Des's mood slowly calmed down, and she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

More than half a month has passed, and Hede has recovered to the extent that he can eat, although it will take a long time for the replenishment of the source power to recover, and the current strength can only be regarded as one or two orders, but the two of them have also reached a place less than ten kilometers away from Roland City, and they see scattered farms from time to time on the way, which is considered an absolutely safe area.

"Set up camp here to rest. Head looked at the sky and did not choose to hurry back to Roland City.

Dess cooked dinner as usual and shared it with Have, neither of whom spoke until Hide drank a mouthful of Zuihou's broth, tasted it, and let the rich and delicious soup flow down his throat.

"It's the first time this year zuihou drank the broth you made. ”

Desi, who was about to clean up the dishes, was stunned.

"You don't have to go into the city, it's time for you to travel and train yourself from tomorrow. Hade looked at Desi's face, which had been extremely surprised and slowly becoming calm.

"Mentor," said Des hesitantly, "are you going to let me go?"

"Yes, it's just you, traveling alone. ”

The silver-haired girl was a little at a loss, and it was obvious that she was completely unprepared for this.

"It's a simple itinerary, I won't limit your actions along the way, everything is up to you, whether it's as a pure hunter, or form a team of adventurers with others, or try your hand at mercenaries or even killers for money, it's all your freedom. ”

Desi took the thin piece of cotton paper a little blankly, and swept the text on it with a somewhat blank gaze, only dozens of place names and general route tips.

"This is a process that most apprentices must go through, traveling alone to train yourself and adapt to an independent life, which I believe you are fully capable of, and you will learn a lot through this trip," Hade said slowly, "You should look at the shijie outside, think more about yourself, and think more about the belief that you insist on protecting." ”

The silver-haired girl's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something and gave up silently.

"I just want you to remember that, if you want to protect others, you have to protect yourself. ”

After saying this in a heavy tone, Hide turned around and said in a low voice, "You will leave tomorrow, you can think that this is what I decided, the punishment for you." ”

After standing for a long time, Dess still subconsciously packed everything according to her previous habits, and then fell on the sleeping bag in the tent with some dejection, and her mind was in chaos.

It was already midnight, and the silver-haired girl still had trouble sleeping.

Tomorrow, no, it should be today, you have to travel alone, and you have to deal with everything alone.

"The mentor must be for my good, the eagle must learn to fly one day, and it is impossible to hide under the wings of its parents forever. He just didn't want me to rely on him all the time and became cowardly and unable to be independent. Yes, it must be so. ”

Dess comforted herself in her heart.

But.

There was no longer that slightly low but very reliable voice to tell me, the slight fear that I had to face the unknown life alone, the fear that my behavior during this time would disappoint the mentor so that he would give up teaching him, and the slight unwillingness, all kinds of complex psychological interweaving made the already very chaotic Des have a strange idea.

She looked up slightly at the tent next to her, and heard the sound of Hed turning over.

"Yes, it's up to me to make the decision from today. The silver-haired girl bit her lip, "I know what I'm doing, and I know what I want." ”

Desi turned over and sat up, slowly untied the white underwear on her body, carefully, inch by inch, slowly cleaned her slender and well-proportioned body with a wet towel, although her heart was beating faster and faster, but the silver-haired girl became more and more calm, and at the same time, she insisted more and more on her own thoughts.

Then she took a deep breath, her slender legs slightly bent, and she took a charging stance in a somewhat disdainful manner, and then slammed into Hide's tent with a resolute demeanor like a soldier charging at the enemy.
