Chapter 40: Chapter 40
"Although I don't know the reason, it is a fact that Darius wants to kill him. Even if he is brought back to the main dojo, he will not be able to survive in the capital. For his safety, I can only lock him up in the depths of the dojo and secretly train him as a hidden swordsman. I will not release him until he has the ability to protect himself. But do you think he is the kind of person who is willing to remain anonymous until his swordsmanship is perfected?"
Izuluti squinted at Leda and asked cautiously.
"Then I just need to convince him. If that doesn't work, can't I just take him back by force?"
Leda sighed and reached out her hand to touch Izuruti's black hair.
".You are too dependent on him. Is this really good for him?"
".I.don't know. But if it were possible, would you agree?"
"meeting."
"Then I'll go after him now!"
Leda stretched out the golden sword at her waist and blocked Izoloti in front of her, with a smile of successful inducement in her eyes.
"You should bring your childhood sweetheart back yourself, no doubt about that, but is your current swordsmanship level enough?"
Izuluti had just taken a step forward, her flying hair showing her joy, but after saying this, her bright expression froze.
".not enough."
Leda smiled and put her hands behind her back.
"Come back to the dojo with me to hone your swordsmanship. When you reach the Water Saint, I will release you. It will depend on your ability to bring your sweetheart back then."
"Okay! No! What sweetheart? Grandma!!!"
Izoloti, who usually appears polite but is actually arrogant in the royal capital, loses her composure at the speed of light whenever Leta teases Alan about the topic.
Leda stopped her deliberate teasing and immediately stopped smiling when she turned around.
"If that day really comes, when Alan returns and Ken practices hard in the dojo, the day he realizes that Darius is the man behind the scenes, that will be the day we fight. I won't kill him, but if he really wants to kill Darius, he will have to step over my dead body."
"If he can't kill me, he can't get revenge. If he can kill me, he will be the new water god."
Leda had no intention of reminding Izuluti of this cruel future. Although Darius had completely fallen, he was her savior after all.
To repay a favor, even if it means bringing a bad reputation, this is Leda's awareness.
"Let's go back to the capital."
"Okay! Please wait a moment!"
Izuluti ran with her long legs to a piece of charred wreckage nearby. Under Leda's somewhat helpless gaze, she bent down and kept searching for something inside with the sword in her hand.
The charred body parts gave off a foul smell, and the smoke and dust dyed her face black.
Time passed as she searched, and finally, Izuluti's eyes lit up. She picked up a knife handle from the corpse, held it carefully in her palm, and looked at it carefully.
The hilt of the knife was broken, and the dried blood stuck on it shattered in Izuluti's palm.
Her eyes were bright in the night breeze.
"I will definitely bring him back to the dojo!"

Chapter 58 Qingmei is just a toy in front of Tianjiang
"I was wondering why you suddenly came out by yourself, Alan, and said you wanted to give me a ride. It turns out you came here to eliminate the base of the thieves' gang, but why didn't you tell me? Instead, you sent me back first and then returned by yourself? After you left, I realized something was wrong. I thought about it carefully and realized that what happened yesterday was indeed at the place where you left in the middle of the night last night."
Just now, after Lokishi and Allen met each other, Allen wanted to explain something, but before he could say anything, Lokishi glared at him and then started to use fire magic to destroy the body.
The former watched the latter perform a set of skilled body disposal procedures, and then quickly pulled his sleeve away from the crime scene. Only now did the two of them start a serious conversation.
In the woods, Mother Smurf used magic to boil water and was standing on a huge rock behind Alan, washing his hair.
The water ball suspended in the air was burned by flames, and a hole appeared at the bottom. Warm water kept flowing onto Alan's body, pouring it from head to toe, and a pool of red blood accumulated on the ground.
Of course, Alan was wearing clothes. As for why he took a shower directly, it was because his body was too dirty with blood. The two of them thought it would be better to pour blood all over his body while washing his hair.
"Honestly, it's too dangerous."
"Wouldn't it be dangerous for you to go alone?"
Lokixi half-closed her eyes and lightly stroked Alan's scalp with her fingers, smoothing out his hair that was tangled with blood.
Alan sat on the ground with his back against Lokisi, looking somewhat helpless. He had been fooling around all the way and thought he had succeeded, but Lokisi reacted as soon as they separated.
Then why can't you react when you're with me?
strangeness.
"Well, I still have confidence in myself."
Lokixi angrily knocked on Allen's head, bang bang bang, as if she was knocking a watermelon.
Alan felt that he was in the wrong for treating Lokixi as a tool, so he just took it obediently. However, he didn't expect that Lokixi would not stop knocking him. After a few times, he felt like a turtle that stuck its head out of the water tank in the seafood market and was knocked back.
He quickly stretched out his hand to block it, but Lokixi just stopped and folded her palm to continue scrubbing Alan's hair.
The next moment, their fingers were intertwined.
Alan was stunned and pinched it subconsciously.
'It's very soft, very smooth, and very warm. There's not much flesh on my fingers. It feels like it could break if I put a little force on it.'
'No! Wait!? What am I doing?'
Alan suddenly came to his senses, and then he found through the touch of his hands that Lokixi's hands had frozen.
He raised his head dully and looked at Luo Qixi.
In the night, the suspended flames made Loki's face flicker. She just stared blankly at the fingers that were held by Alan. The moment she noticed the latter looking up, she just quickly glanced at Alan and then avoided his sight.
The sound was beaten by the night wind and trembled slightly.
".Next. Next time something like this happens, remember to write to me. I might be able to help you. After all, we agreed to be adventurers together in the future."
".good."
"If it's an emergency, you have to ask for help from Master Paul. He is your superior in all three schools. It's very dangerous to act alone. Everyone will be worried about you. You have to apologize to them when you go back."
".good."
". Your hand isn't injured, but is your body injured? Do you need any treatment?"
".Okay, uh? No, I don't need it."
".But, I remember you once said that twenty cuts would put a great strain on the body. Did you use the secret technique to combine them together? I see you have been practicing recently."
"There is a burden, but it's okay."
".So you were lying to me before?"
"No! But it really doesn't matter."
".Merciful goddess who is like a mother, please heal this man's wounds and restore him to health. Healing technique!"
".Thanks."
".You're welcome. Do you still feel uncomfortable?"
"No discomfort at all"
Lokixi had already moved her gaze back to Alan's face. In the night, Lokixi lowered her head and Alan raised his head. The two looked at each other and no one spoke again.
The water flow above Alan's head had stopped at some point. Perhaps it was because Loki was distracted and couldn't maintain the magic, or perhaps it was because this allowed her to see more clearly if Alan had any injuries.
Or maybe
This way I can see Alan's face better.
But who knows what Luo Qixi is thinking? She just looked at Allen with a little distress, her dark blue eyes flickering in the night.
Then he pulled his hand out of Allen's.
Only then did Alan realize that he had subconsciously completed the entire conversation by holding Loki's hand. He looked at his hand in surprise, his mind going blank.
At the age of six, he went to a brothel to avoid Kitani Zang and was forced to become the favorite of the "sisters". At this time, he was as innocent as a three-year-old child.
Loki then took a deep breath, turned her back to Alan, and chanted to summon a larger water ball at her side. A raging fire surrounded the water ball, making a gurgling sound of boiling water.
"By the way, the air in the forest at night is really nice."
"Ah, yes."
Luo Qixi turned her back to him and pointed at the water ball.
".Go. Go take a shower. You smell like blood."
".OK."
By the time Alan finished washing up and washing the clothes, it was already early morning of the next day when he finally completed the extremely inefficient drying process with Lokisi covering her face and turning her back the whole time.
The two walked through the forest and came to the roadside.
"Remember to write a letter."
"good."
Alan, wearing wrinkled clothes, waved goodbye to Loki.
Amid the sound of birds singing, the latter gave Alan a bright smile.
"See you in the future then."
After hearing what Luo Qixi said, Alan realized that he was in a hurry to leave yesterday and slipped away before Luo Qixi could reply.
He scratched his face in embarrassment and watched Luo Qixi waving while walking backwards.
Lokixi opened and closed her lips as if she wanted to say something, but at this moment, Alan's dull waving face was reflected in her pupils. She blinked, pursed her lips and took back the words, looking at Alan quietly.
In the end, he said nothing more, just smiled faintly, then turned and headed towards Ligate City.
And Alan watched her go until Loki's shadow was no longer visible, then he lowered his head and looked at his hands.
The rays of light coming from the east covered his hands with a veil of fire, but even so, he still felt his hands were a little cold.
Maybe it's because it's still a little chilly in the summer morning? But why am I sweating all over?
Is it because the forest was too hot last night? Why are only my palms sweating?
Alan thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Because he had to hurry back to the Greyrat family, he could only make a superficial judgment and turned around to continue on his way.
That must be because.
The blazing glow of a summer morning.
Not as warm as Loki's palm.
This is easy to judge.
Chapter 59: Liking is a self-pushing struggle of worrying about gains and losses [5k]
Alan was still traveling quickly on foot, but this time after the battle, he felt obviously tired after running for four hours using his fighting spirit. At noon, he dived into a pile of grass by the side of the road, ready to take a nap.
Too sleepy.
The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the green grass, casting scattered shadows on his face. The grass stems danced in the wind, scratching his face, making it itchy and his eyelids twitching.
At this moment, he thought of Luo Qixi's hand.
'.system?'
[explain.]
This time the system is on call.
Alan blinked his dry eyes and suddenly felt embarrassed. He hesitated for a while, but still asked his question.
"Well, I have a question. In the past, even the smallest things would increase my favorability. This time, I had a pleasant time with Luo Qixi. Well, at least I felt it was pleasant, but why don't I get any more prompts to gain her favor?"
".I'm worried that you're taking my points as a kickback, you know what I mean?"
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the smoke and dust that appeared this time was jumping a little, as if...
Like laughing.
[The moonlight was nice last night. ]
Alan's consciousness was a little hazy, and he nodded subconsciously.
