Xia Nuo looked at the man standing at the door, although his eyes were as gentle as ever, the smile on his face made him unpredictable.
A little cold sweat broke out from Xia Nuo's palms for no reason, and the man walked towards him, the sound of "slap-pat-pat" footsteps was infinitely amplified in the quiet room, making it extremely obvious.
The man walked to his side and stood still, looking at the closed book in his hand.
"Monster Encyclopedia - 500 Monster Habits You Don't Know?" He read the title slowly, and then raised the corners of his lips, "This book is quite interesting, you might as well read it more. "
"Have you read this book before?" Xia Nuo asked tentatively.
"I've seen it." The man replied casually, showing a look of nostalgia, "But that was a long time ago."
Not only have I read it, many of the materials were even provided to the editors by him, but after so many years, the editors back then have long since become a piece of loess.
How early
Xia Nuo found himself suspicious of every word the man said, sometimes once the seeds of doubt were planted, a trivial action or a casual word would turn into abundant nourishment, and it would grow into a towering tree.
And it all started because of too much "coincidence".
From the very beginning, Naduosha's identity was introduced by a man, and Naduosha's attitude towards men was also very strange.
Na Duosha verbally said that she hated the villagers, but she did not reject the man who was the son of the village chief. Although she tried her best to hide it, Xia Nuo still noticed her respect and fear when facing the man.
It's just that Xia Nuo thought it was because of his presence, and didn't think of the man.
Also, the man took the initiative to follow them into the forest, and then in the forest, all his teammates disappeared one after another except him, but he did not suffer any harm. If he was not attacked because of the protection of the holy tree, then what is the reason for the man
Xia Nuo can only think of two possibilities: first, he is of the same kind as the boa constrictors, and the boa constrictors will naturally not attack him; second, he is a more powerful existence than the boa constrictors, and the boa constrictors dare not attack him.
Regardless of the possibility, it shows that the identity of a man is not simple.
The last point is also the most important point. Whether it is the Queen's order, Naduosha's past events, or the rumors of the villagers, after Xia Nuo came here, he has never seen the culprit who caused the python disaster. .
He even began to suspect that the group of pythons that caused many deaths was real, and wasn't it fabricated by someone
Even the snake, I only saw one on the first day, and it was still being chased by a child...
etc! Shano's eyes suddenly widened.
He tried his best to recall the appearance of that little snake. It was snow-white all over, with inconspicuous white spots on its skin, shining golden streamers in the sun. It was less than one meter long and slender, and it was obvious that it was close water source...
——It is the real spotted python.
"..."
Xia Nuo was stunned by this important discovery, but not long after, he felt a cold touch on his face.
The man poked his cheek with baby fat, and asked him with a smile: "What are you thinking? Why are you so dazed?"
Xia Nuo's body froze suddenly, and subconsciously took a step back, avoiding the man's cold fingers.
The man's fingers just stopped in mid-air, and the eyes of the two briefly met in mid-air. Xia Nuo was the first to lower his head guiltily.
"You... your fingers are so cold..."
The excuse he gave was too clumsy, the man stared at him deeply for a moment, and then withdrew his hand again.
"Maybe I forgot to take my medicine today."
The man's voice was flat and he couldn't hear any emotion, but Xia Nuo's heart shrank suddenly. His body's reaction was always faster than his consciousness, and he had spontaneously grabbed the man's hand before he realized it: "How can Why don't you take medicine?"
His palm is still warm, like a little sun that can easily melt a man.
How to do it
The man looked at the nervous look of the boy with a smile, and even felt an unspeakable joy in his heart.
Even if the boy has doubts about him, his care and dependence still belong to him completely.
You know, as soon as a plant starts to take root and sprout, instinct tells him to work hard to grow upward. Because only when they are tall enough can they get more exposure and more sunlight.
——A young man is to him what the sun is to a plant. Once you get it, you will never be allowed to lose it.
…
Xia Nuo went to Shirley with "Drow's Notes".
Drow and Shirley are both magicians, and it will be faster for Shirley to decipher the magic recorded above.
Xue Li's complexion was much better than yesterday. When Xia Nuo passed by, she was drinking a large bowl of blood-tonifying soup with a strange smell, her whole face was wrinkled together, showing a rare childish look.
After hearing Xia Nuo's explanation of her visit, Shirley put down the medicine bowl and picked up the notes to look through.
The records in the notes were not obscure, Xue Li looked through them roughly, and already had an idea in her heart.
"The method described above is very simple, but the required materials are very troublesome. It requires that the medium for casting the spell must be made of the heart of a sacred object. If I understand correctly, the sacred object refers to the holy tree..."
"Chang'an...Chang'an?" Xue Li couldn't help but raise her head in surprise when she didn't get a response from Xia Nuo. She only took one look at the boy and realized something was wrong.
The boy's eyes were still so clear, but now he lost his spirit, his pupils stared straight at the sheet on the bed, as if he could count how many patterns there were on it.
"Chang'an? What are you thinking about?" Xue Li stretched out her hand and shook the boy in front of her, successfully regaining the boy's sanity.
"Ah." Xia Nuo froze for a moment, with a complicated expression on his face.
"What's on your mind? Why are you worrying?" Shirley asked sharply, "Does your mind have anything to do with Kanlaner?"
"..."
Xia Nuo was dumbfounded by her series of questions, he stammered and said, "You, how do you know..."
How do you know he is thinking about Kanlaner
Shirley glanced at him, a little helpless: "Isn't this obvious? I told you about the python disaster, but you were all absent-minded. Besides Kanlaner, who else can you think of?"
She asked with great concern: "Why, did you quarrel? It's unlikely, isn't your relationship always good?"
"But a good relationship doesn't mean that they won't quarrel." She seemed to think of something and said to herself, "Aren't some couples getting better the more they quarrel?"
"Couple—?!" Xia Nuo waved his hands again and again, his face flushed, "No, no, we are not the relationship you think!"
Xue Li raised her eyebrows, and asked back, "What's the relationship? Don't say you are just friends, the way he looks at you doesn't look like the way a friend should have."
"And you." She pointed to the bewildered young man, "Looking at your performance, you don't just treat him as an ordinary friend, do you? , I won’t say anything.”
"...Is it that obvious?" Xia Nuo couldn't help muttering to himself.
"It's more than obvious, it's almost blinding." Shirley complained blankly, "Please be a little self-conscious and be friendly to single people, please?"
"I'm sorry..." Xia Nuo couldn't help lowering his head, although he didn't understand what kind of harm his previous actions had caused Xue Li.
"But 'single'?" Xia Nuo questioned, "But you and Karl..."
"I have nothing to do with Karl." Shirley suddenly changed her face and replied coldly.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that." Although she didn't understand why Shirley was angry, Xia Nuo knew that she must have said something wrong, and quickly apologized, "I misunderstood earlier."
"It's okay." Shirley's tone eased, "You haven't said, what's the problem between you and Kanlaner?"
"..."
Xia Nuo hesitated for a moment and said: "If, what I mean is if, you find that a person you thought you were very familiar with suddenly showed a side that is beyond your expectations. You find that the person you saw before, It's all his disguise... what will you do?"
In the end, his voice was a little difficult, but he insisted on finishing.
"Is that all?"
Xue Li's nonchalant question made Xia Nuo's eyes widen, and he couldn't help asking, "Isn't that nothing?"
Of course it's nothing.
Shirley thought the boy was worrying about other more important things.
For example, the identity gap between him and Kanlaner.
You must know that sometimes, it is not uncommon for players to have feelings for NPCs. How to break through psychological barriers and identity gaps is the real problem.
But judging by the boy's appearance, he probably will never be troubled by such things, right
Shirley is quite accurate in seeing people. She knows that the boy will be the kind of person who will be firm in himself and not be disturbed by the outside world once he falls in love.
She had long since lost this pure ability to love. But that didn't stop her from admiring the bravery of others and helping to preserve it.
She looked at the boy and laughed: "Then let me analyze it carefully for you?"
