Chapter 163
The cold moonlight shone on the dense tree canopy. Compared with the early morning, the forest at night is only a little colder, and there is a deeper and quieter darkness.
And now this forest is more dangerous than ever. After the battle of the Evernight Forest Valley, the disintegrated ogre is almost everywhere in the surrounding forest, and these huge can be seen anytime and anywhere. The silhouette and traces of monsters are like wild beasts in the middle of the night, wandering aimlessly.
Leaving the Yongyelin Valley, there are only a dozen trifling war dancers left, and the expedition team of riddled with scars, also in the dense forest of ominous beast, set foot on the return Journey.
With the loss of Isuria as a guide, and all the older war dancers were killed in battle, Liya, who became the last "leader", could only lead the expedition team along the path they came. Returning the same way, we must also beware of the scattered ogre attacks along the way.
Exhaustion, pain, hunger...not only these, the ogre that appears at any time is also threatening the remaining war dancers, except for the lance in their hands, all the guns and igniting agent have been consumed. Empty, there is no way to protect yourself.
According to memory, the female elves finally left Yongyelin with the expedition team and arrived at the wither forest settlement along the deciduous river beach. The ruined settlement was only left with broken walls, but entrenched. The ogre here has also disappeared, giving the exhausted elves a chance to rest for a while.
Several war dancers with minor injuries stood guard outside the cloud crown tree, while the rest found a place under the tree to rest on the trunk—the elves didn’t even dare to light a bonfire. I am afraid that the surrounding ogre will be brought here.
The only tree hole that was still intact was left by the elves of the expedition team to the black hair wizard-after the battle in the Evernight Forest Valley, Loren never recovered from his coma. If it weren't for his breathing and heartbeat were normal, everyone would even think he was dead.
The equally exhausted female elf almost gritted her teeth, carrying this human wizard all the way without dragging her journey. She promised that the little wizard would take this guy back alive, and she would do what she said.
The war dancers of the expedition team are also full of respect for this human wizard-no matter what happened, he personally ended Ogre’s invasion. This alone is worth it. The elves paid him the highest respect.
Even if you don’t say this, if it weren’t for him to defeat Metzka and let Ogre collapse on the spot, there would be no war dancer in the Evernight Forest Mountain within the valley. , Will die in this unknown land, and will never return to their hometown.
And now the war dancers of the expedition team have not only regarded Loren as a human wizard, but regarded him as their friend, a close comrade in arms-for the sake of friends elves No matter how far it can be, whether it is Kono or Anduin, they have already proved their weight with their lives.
"Is he awake?"
The female elf who walked to the tree hole asked a young war dancer, trying to make her expression look calm. Some: "Compared with yesterday... Is there any change?"
The war dancer shook the head with a sad look: "Still in a coma, there is no sign of waking up, the forehead is hot as if it is about to catch fire. Yes, no matter what you do, there is no way to get his fever off." As he said, the war dancer's face showed a little apologize.
"You have done your best." Liya patted the other's shoulder with a calm look: "Go find a place to take a rest, and we will continue our journey tomorrow. The tree wall is near!"
"You should take a break, too. I haven't seen you take a break during this period." The young war dancer couldn't help but opened the mouth and said: "Don't put yourself too tired. , No ogre will attack us tonight."
The gaunt female elf was just slightly laughed, making the war dancer who had left looked at her worriedly and couldn't help but sighed long.
From the beginning of leaving Yongyelin, the important task of survival of the entire expedition team fell on the female elves. This is too heavy a burden for a very young elf, but the remaining expedition team does not have enough convincing and experienced war dancers to lead them.
And Liya, who has never talked much, also shouldered this responsibility silently, even if she herself was in poor condition, she still gritted her teeth and walked in the forefront, leading the team with her impression and experience.
She knows very well that as long as she makes a mistake in judgment, she may encounter various situations that will destroy the expedition team-get lost, get lost, encounter a large group of ogre, encounter a surprise attack ...And it's all.
At the same time, she had to take the black hair wizard in a coma on the road together, which invisibly increased her burden and made this "journey" more difficult.
Walking into the tree hole, a thin and scarred silhouette lay motionless in front of her, with her head down and her eyes closed. I can only see the slightly undulating chest and hear the breath from the tip of my nose.
The female elf standing in front of him was a little stunned, as if she had seen some artwork worthy of her stopping and admiring.
The usual Loren Torino is always peaceful and confident, giving people an extraordinarily mature feeling; whether it’s the imposing manner when speaking or the uneasy revealed secretly, always Can give others an endless sense of security.
The self-confidence when cheating, the enthusiasm when screaming, the strength when persuading others...Always make others feel that they are a bit shorter than him, at least it is an equal communication, rather than an object that can be used arbitrarily .
And what is sleeping in front of me right now is a "little wizard" who just barely counts as an adult, with messy black hair with a pony tail and stubble on his lips. It is totally different from the previous imposing manner. .
He is now incomparable and fragile...
The female elf who felt an inexplicable heartache half-kneeled in front of him, soaked in some clean water with the only piece of linen on her hand , Wiping his forehead for the black hair wizard.
From the day she became a war dancer, Liya has not done anything to take care of others, let alone a patient. Her only duty is to hunt ogre, and to hunt more ogre, nothing more.
Lifting his chin gently, the linen cloth soaked in clean water gently wiped his cheeks, following the lines and feel all the way up, everything is natural and calm as resembles nature itself.
There is silence outside the tree hole with the sound of pattering water. In the narrow space, I can even hear the heartbeat of myself and this guy clearly, as well as the faint breathing.
"Loren ·Torino......"
For some reason, the female elf suddenly spoke softly, as if she was facing the guy in front of her, and she seemed to be muttering to herself.
"What are you doing all this for?
As a shrewd guy like you, he won’t use himself unless he is a last resort. Risk your life, right?
Although I have never said it before, but...in fact, I always want to thank you...or I want to apologize to you. If it weren’t for me to talk to Luca, you don’t You don’t have to come to the Morning Star Forest. There won’t be so many things.
If it weren’t for you, we would probably all have died in the counterattack of the Great Tree Wall. What you did for us, no matter how thankful you are It's not an exaggeration... At first I hated you because you never told the truth. You always looked confident and boring.
But this time, just as Kono said, it’s just that it’s not just him, all the elves of the Eastern Forest owe a life. We can see what you do. You are really fighting your life to protect us.
I have never forgotten the death of a friend, no matter which one I will never forget. I originally thought I would hate you because you did not save Yuina, but I know , Yuina, she... she didn’t leave with regret.
It’s not a grudge, but jealousy...I, I’m too jealous of her, I’m jealous that she can be so peaceful without a trace of regret. It’s like falling leaves in autumn.
So, thank you, Crow’s mouth..."
The trembling female elf's eyes were soaked with tears, and she lifted slightly. The forehead of the pensive boy left a piece of Red Seal on it......
