Chapter 133

Faced with the dumbfounded eyes and doubts of the girl, he did not explain, but with a smile, he let his five fingers pass through the purple hair.

Just like that, feeling the familiar texture, Ash took the opportunity to cast his eyes outside the French window, the inky night sky on the horizon of the city, and said inexplicably earnestly:

"The weather is good today, tomorrow will definitely be sunny, right?"

"Are you changing the subject again? Master Ash, you really... have not made any progress."

The overly deliberate statement made Philen frown coquettishly, but even so, just being caressed by him, it also made her atmosphere seem particularly gentle.

On this sleepless night, the girl who was raised by him since childhood still accompanied him silently with a hint of helplessness, pouring wine for him until the night fell.

..............................

..............................

In the middle of the night when Philen couldn't bear it, Ash still wanted to have a long talk with Aura after Philen went to bed.

However, no one could convince the other, and Aura chose to let it go as if she was angry and didn't want to care about him.

So on the second day, the group planned to leave the capital, and even Fulilian, who always liked to hang out in the magic bookstore, now had no intention of staying in this big city.

At the end of leaving the capital, Aura still had the same arrogant attitude.

She was on the wall, and after scanning the two of them with cold eyes, she finally cast her eyes on Ash, but she didn't say anything, just looked down at him with a bored look, and finally just snorted and turned away.

Obviously, until the end of this short separation, she still hated Fren and Fulilian, and didn't plan to say a word to them, and even got upset with Ash.

".... I thought your personality was bad enough, but it turns out that your sister is worse." Fulilian calmly retracted her upward gaze, but when she looked at Ash, she showed a hint of mockery.

But Ash didn't intend to pay attention to him at all. He slapped her on the head silently and walked ahead quickly.

But he didn't want to pay attention to him, but Fulilian quickly chased him and said to herself: "....Aren't you a guide? Why are you going to the empire?"

"To represent the kingdom in person, talk to the emperor to promote world peace and prevent the emperor's ambition from expanding too much and doing some strange things again."

"Will he not be caught?" Fulilian seemed to be a little eager to watch the fun, but his tone and expression were still very calm:

"It's okay, I'm not the king... and not many people know my true identity."

"No, think about it carefully. Instead of worrying about you, should I worry about the emperor?"

"I love People who love peace, helping this country is also for the same purpose, and now of course they are taking action for peace. "

He said what he was thinking very naturally, but Fulilian was full of doubts: "You went to the front line yourself? By the way, the big demon who went to the battlefield in the rumor before was you, right?"

"That is to avoid casualties as much as possible, and if you only use your mouth to talk, wanting to achieve peace is simply empty talk, you should also understand this truth."

"This... is indeed."

Although the imperial army suffered a lot of casualties, the overall casualties seemed to have indeed decreased a lot... This also made Fulilian unable to deny his words.

After pretending to sleep and eavesdropping on his conversation with Philen last night, Fulilian did not have any doubts about his nature, but suddenly seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but pretend to be nonchalant while following behind him, and asked curiously:

"Speaking of it..."

"What?"

"I am the second friend you know, what kind of person is the first one?"

Although she knew that it was Philen's ancestor, she still couldn't help but care about who that person was.

".... How can I remember it now?" More than 500 years have passed since the incident, and more than 100 years have passed for him personally, so how could he remember it so clearly.

But Philen also came closer at this time, staring at him with burning eyes: "Please try hard to remember! I am also very curious."

"... Don't force it, okay?"

"I heard from Ling that | walnut dream peach can replenish the brain, do you want to do something?" Fuli Jiulian fumbled in her pocket for a while, and took out a walnut with wool on it expressionlessly. It was unknown how long it had been in her pocket. She handed it to him while staring at him, and her eyes were inexplicably full of expectations.

This made him so angry that he didn't want to take it at all, and simply ignored the two curious girls.

Although the two were a little dissatisfied, they could only catch up quickly... Everything seemed to be the same as usual.

Everything that happened in the royal court seemed to have been temporarily forgotten by everyone, and the relationship and distance between them did not seem to have changed at all... Or maybe there was?

..............................

The group left Wangbadu in a noisy manner and took a horse-drawn carriage to the north until they reached a place where the carriage could no longer move forward. Then, in the gentle afternoon sunshine, they walked across the uninhabited forest.

The secrets of the wetland forest are deep and winding. There are many dangers hidden in the interweaving of swamps and greenery. If you are not careful, you will fall into the quagmire. Every step needs to be cautious.

Therefore, when the sun shines through the dense treetops and casts mottled light and shadows, the group directly flies quickly and tries to cross the dangerous swamp depression directly.

After all, even if they are not afraid of swamps, they have to worry about their clothes getting dirty. However...

Before they fly too far, they almost at the same time, like a helicopter that has lost power, they suddenly lose the power to fly, and the flying magic is directly interrupted by force, and they all fall to the ground.

"——What happened?!" Philen looked around in panic, while Fulilian touched her chin and showed a thoughtful expression.

But almost without exception, the two of them instinctively grabbed Ash.

Ash seemed the calmest. When the two of them grabbed him, he quickly stretched out his left and right hands to grab their collars from behind, and after gently throwing them upwards, he hugged their waists directly, and immediately adjusted his landing posture and prepared for the impact of landing, but...

The moment he landed, before he could stand firmly, the ground suddenly cracked.

With a "bang!", Ash's feet were empty again.

"The geology of the swamp wetland is really unstable..."

At the moment the ground collapsed, Ash couldn't help but sigh and muttered softly, and his body fell freely again uncontrollably.

"Ah... This time, it seems a bit troublesome?" Fulilian, who let him hold her like a sack, looked down, but when she noticed what was below, her expression became subtle.

When Philen saw the dense blue crystals below clearly, his eyes widened and he instinctively exclaimed: "- Seal, seal the magic mine!"

Bang--! !

Before the girl finished speaking, Ash's feet had already stepped on the ground, making a heavy muffled sound.

But the ground was completely intact, and it even made his feet numb.

Although the gravel and sand that fell from above were scattered all over the ground, they also did not damage the uneven crystal mirror surface underground.

Looking up, they were at least 20 meters above the ground, and the "walls" around them were all irregular crystals, and under the sunlight scattered from the cave above, they reflected a golden and blue luster, filled with an indescribable sense of fantasy.

"It's really beautiful." He couldn't help but admire it.

But he couldn't help but admire it, and the two girls in his hands had a gloomy face.

Because of the way he held them, they always felt that they were being lifted like objects.

Fulilian poked his thigh with her fingertips, and sighed depressedly when he looked at her: "You can feel sad if you want to... It's almost time to put me down, right?"

"Ah, sorry, I almost forgot." Only now did he remember that he was still holding two people in his hands, so he quickly let go of his hands and held them steady.

Fulilian put her hands on her waist and moved her body, while Philen rubbed her waist and couldn't help frowning.

"...Although her waist suffered some impact when she fell, Fulilian is fine. Is it a problem of physique or weight?" He muttered, and Fulilian stared at the crystal not far away, and answered the question without thinking: "Because Philen is much heavier than me, right?"

As soon as he said this, Philen's body froze, and Ash just looked back at the two of them, and then silently walked towards the edge of the deep pit, an unexpectedly wide hole.

After a while, Philen's angry rebuke and Fulilian's apology were heard from behind.

..............................

..............................

Until Ferren finished scolding Fulilian, Ash, who had gone out to explore the cave, pretended to be calm and walked back.

Without even waiting for the two to speak, he looked up:

"I just went to the cave and looked, and the exit seems to be quite deep... How about I just hold you and jump up."

"... What are you talking about? You are fine if you jump up at such a high altitude, but our bodies can't stand that sudden acceleration. After all, there is no magic to protect the body here, so we should honestly find another exit."

Flilian looked at Ash with a depressed expression, and then she walked towards the cave he had just explored after scolding him.

"Well... Indeed, it is a bit difficult to crush this kind of ore with bare hands without magic." He wanted to climb, but the crystal wall was too smooth, so he could only choose to leave this place in the dumbest way after Fulilian refused and jumped out.

There is no other way. After all, the hardness of this magic-sealing stone is the highest among all minerals. It is harder than diamonds. Magic will be ineffective, and it is difficult to destroy it with brute force.

"But this is the first time I have seen such a large magic-sealing vein... A fist-sized magic-sealing stone can make magic within a radius of three meters ineffective. With such a large vein... I don't know how large a range of magic will lose its effect. Now I can only rely on you, Ash."

Fulilian stretched out her hand and lightly touched the ore by the wall, but she suddenly showed a smile and looked back at Ash: "After all, here, we are all ordinary girls who cannot use magic. Be careful not to get too far away from us. Far away."

"....Girl?"

"What? Do you have any opinions? You have called me an old guy, an old woman, etc., seven times in total, but I have never forgotten it."

"...You're still counting? I haven't said anything this time, right?"

"Don't I know who you are? And I'm not like someone who said it was more than 500 years ago but actually forgot so much in just over 100 years." There was a bit of thorn in Fulilian's words.

But he just threw up his hands helplessly: "Is there no way? Not everyone has as good a memory as the elves? After all, Master Fulu has completely forgotten his true love."

"He is a dwarf, so the situation is completely different. And is it really okay for you to say this about your friend?"

"I'm just giving factual examples."

"But you are a demon, right? Your lifespan is much longer than that of dwarves. At least I have never heard of demons dying of old age." Fulilian subconsciously retorted, but then she thought of something and frowned: "Speaking of which Have you always lived like a human being? Very... urgent? Not like the Immortals at all. If you lived in a different way, maybe you could have as good a memory as me?"

"....As lazy as you are, basically not doing anything but just wandering around, let's forget about it."

"What do you mean? Do you have any problem with me?"

"How could it be?"

Ash didn't say much, just smiled and patted her on the head, then walked quickly ahead.

Although she was quite complaining, she still didn't complain too much in this situation and quickly followed him.

Seeing that the two of them were always quarreling from time to time, Feilun had no intention of breaking up the fight. Instead, he watched them with warm eyes. While following them, he couldn't help but smile helplessly and reminded loudly: " .... Lord Ash, please slow down, Lord Fulilian will not be able to keep up, and Lord Fulilian too, what should I do if I fall down while running so fast?”

"Um...Am I being treated like a child?" Fulilian stumbled and almost fell to the ground when she heard the voice behind her, muttering in a depressed voice.

"Don't worry about the details. If you fall to the ground and bruise your skin later, Fearon will be angry, and it will implicate me."

"....Then I'll say it was you who caused it."

"You are so shameless."

"It was your fault in the first place." Fulian pursed her lips slightly and turned away unwillingly.

To be honest, he looked like a troubled child, but in order to be clean, Ash still implemented the principle of silence.

............................

As we went deeper into the cave, the air gradually became colder.

In the spacious mine, there was unexpectedly a breeze blowing through it. It was obvious that there was an exit, so a flowing wind could be formed.

Along the way, the five acupoints in the entire cave are filled with water crystals containing (seven huge amounts of magic) power. The water crystals are still dripping with seven different bluish rays that are refracted by sunlight. Provides them with a good view.

Because of this, they could still see the bones of beasts in the mine from time to time, and even found a large pile of huge skeletons stacked on top of each other in a sunken area.

"...This must be the lair of some large monster, right?"

Standing in front of the hill-like pile of bones that was much taller than herself, Fulian sighed with emotion. She then looked around, looking everywhere with excessive liveliness... No. Those who knew would probably think that she was some kind of elementary school student out for a spring break.

Fearon, on the other hand, kept holding on to Ash's clothes and didn't dare to move away from him.

And in the middle of the night.

The three of them sat by the wall and rested. Fulilian had already fallen down next to Ash, and fell asleep right next to him.

"Ah, the saliva is dripping again, it's so dirty..." Yaxiu looked at his shoulder with a depressed face, and another stream of crystal liquid slipped out of the corner of the elf girl's mouth.

But Feilun took the trouble to take out the handkerchief and wipe it. He couldn't help but pursed his lips and said, "Master Ash, how can you say that? Master Fulian will definitely be sad if she hears it."

"I don't think so."

"In the lair of such a large monster, Ms. Fulilian can still sleep so soundly next to you. It is definitely a sign of trust, so Fulilian..."

"——Then you can't sleep because you can't trust me?" Before he could finish speaking, he subconsciously retorted, and immediately made Fearon unhappy: "How is that possible? I just..."

"Huh? I really can't be believed?"

"No! It's just... this is the first time since I was born that I've been like this. I can't even use my magic to detect words. It's like I've been thrown into the boundless darkness..."

Fearon put away his handkerchief, curled up next to him, quietly watched him from the side, and whispered: "If it weren't for Mr. Ash, I would have run away at all costs."

"Is that really the case? But the environment here is indeed..."

boom--! !

Before Ash finished speaking, a huge monster suddenly jumped down from the huge mine and slapped him with a slap in the midst of the roar.

But at this moment when he was caught off guard, he suddenly stood up and raised his hand to block the giant palm that seemed to be about to slap them into meat patties.
