Look down and see
"Battosai?!"
Battousai, with a mask still on his face, was lying on the cold ground without any movement.
The clothes he is wearing... ...how to describe it
Even more tragic than Ye Lan’s own clothes.
The skin exposed to the air was covered with shocking marks.
"Could this be..."
Looking at the binding method that was very familiar to her, Ye Lan seemed to realize something.
Although this binding technique seems to be much inferior to her own.
But if she was drunk, it would be understandable that she was tied up like this.
No... ...it's not necessarily that she tied it herself.
Yes, maybe something else happened
Ye Lan remembered something and subconsciously used elemental vision.
It was fine when she didn't use it, but after using it, she became silent.
The seemingly clean room was filled with remnants of water elements.
Even the marks on Bai Luo's body had a distinct elemental aura.
Not only that, when she raised her head following the elemental aura, she saw the same traces even on the beams of the room.
Ye Lan remembered something and looked at her hands and the tear marks on her body with elemental vision again.
Not surprisingly, there are exactly the same elemental residues on here.
"... ..."
What have I done?!
Stretching out his hands and hugging his head, Ye Lan's face showed a rare expression of fear.
In the past, due to the nature of her work, she had drunk alcohol.
But she had never been drunk before, and this was the first time she was drunk like this.
She never thought that she would behave so badly after drinking too much.
Even gave Battousai
Calm down... Calm down
After forcing herself to calm down, Ye Lan looked at Bai Luo on the ground again.
After carefully carrying him to the bed, Ye Lan tried to check him.
Well, maybe because he often slept in the open air, Bai Luo did not get sick after lying on the floor for a night.
But his condition is not very good either.
The water element remained on the marks on his body, causing some damage to his flesh. Although it was not fatal, the itchy and painful feeling was not something that everyone could endure.
But now Bai Luo seemed not to feel this torture and still had no reaction.
This means... ... this guy who looks like he's asleep is actually fainted.
As for why she fainted, Ye Lan didn't intend to think about it, nor did she dare to think about it.
Because when she saw the torn clothes on the other person, she could imagine how crazy she was last night.
After making sure that Bai Luo would not wake up for the time being, Ye Lan began to look towards the house.
The hangover feeling, coupled with the visual and psychological shock, made her act irrationally.
Clean up the scene.
And because of her behavior, it became even more impossible for Bai Luo, who had already cleaned up the scene, to be discovered.
Because even the traces of elements created by Bai Luo's fraud were cleaned up by Ye Lan.
In this way, there is really no possibility of overturning the verdict on what happened last night.
Chapter 556 A Letter from Baiyin
"Mr. Tinari?"
Cole, who was playing with the rope, saw Tinari coming back. He calmly put away the steel wire in his hand that he was using as a rope and walked over.
This was taught to her by her friend Xumi.
The other party said that this could help train the coordination of her fingers, and perhaps relieve the stiffness caused by the magic scale disease, making it less difficult for her to draw a bow or hold a dagger.
"Didn't you go patrolling the forest today?"
Handing the package in his hand to Cole, Tinari asked.
In fact, he probably already knew why Cole was waiting here.
As a graduate of the School of Life Theory, he majored in botany.
When I graduated, I was invited by my mentor to teach at the Academy of Teaching.
However, while studying in the Shenglun School, he also noticed some anomalies in the Institute of Teachings, such as its disapproving way of doing things.
So he rejected his mentor's invitation and came to Huachengguo on the grounds that "Sumeru City is too noisy and bad for the ears".
In fact, he himself prefers research with more freedom.
The plants grown in nature may not be as colorful as the carefully cultivated flowers in the nursery, but their vigorous vitality and their ability to stand firm in the wind and rain fascinated him deeply.
However, he did not stay in Huacheng City all the time.
On weekdays, when patrolling Daochenglin, he would pick up some fallen leaves and flowers.
Some of them look relatively complete when they fall, and are very worth collecting.
So he would make specimens of these relatively complete leaves and collect them.
When he had more things, he would regularly take some of the extra specimens to Xumi City and give them to some of his younger classmates for research.
When he came back, he would take a detour and bring some things to everyone in Huachengguo.
For example, letters, daily necessities, or souvenirs.
What Cole was waiting for was the letter.
Originally, Cole did not expect to receive any letter. After all, she had sent out dozens of letters, but they all fell into the sea and there was no news at all.
But what surprised her was that among the pile of letters, there was actually a letter belonging to her.
She was very happy at first, thinking that the letter she sent was finally received by Bai Luo, but when she saw the sender's name, she became confused again.
"Silver? Who is that?"
"Go back and take a good look. You don't need to patrol the forest today. I will arrange for someone else."
Seeing Cole squatting on the side of the road and about to open the letter to read it, Tinari patted her shoulder and reminded her.
Afterwards, he took his package back from Cole.
Originally, he gave the package to Ke Lai, intending to find her something to do and let her deliver the contents to everyone.
At least get through today.
But now it seems that this is no longer necessary.
This is just the right excuse to keep her in Huachenggu.
Daochenglin is much more dangerous now than before.
"Yeah, okay!"
Cole didn't think much about it and planned to go back to his room with his letter.
But halfway through her run, she seemed to realize something and turned to look at Tinari's back.
Mr. Tinari, let her have the day off
After knowing each other for a long time, Cole understands the other's character very well.
Tinari comes from a very ancient and mysterious family. All of them are very smart, but most of them are very eccentric and have some strange rules.
Compared with the tribesmen in the rumors, Tinari is not that aloof and is a kind-hearted person.
But some rules have been passed down well.
For example, you cannot tell jokes at the dinner table or be absent without reason.
Unless he had an illness like a severe cold, even if Cole was in the state of demonic scale disease, he would be assigned tasks like taking care of flowers and plants, cleaning the Seven Days God statue, or eliminating fire hazards in the city.
But now, Mr. Tinari actually offered to let her take the day off
If it were someone else, they would definitely cherish this hard-earned holiday.
But after following Bai Luo for so long, Cole's thinking has become much more meticulous than before.
This seemingly unintentional little action aroused her suspicion.
After looking at the letter signed by Baiyin in her hand, Cole did not open it immediately. She hid the letter in the bookshelf in the room, took out her bow and arrow, and followed the footprints left by Tinari.
"The Fatui caravan is in Daocheng Forest now?"
Near the statue of the Seven Heavens God, Tinari called all the forest rangers and patrolmen who were still in Huacheng Castle.
When he said this, everyone at the scene was stunned.
Although the Gilded Brigade occasionally appears in Daocheng Forest, due to the evil hand of a certain person, no humanoid creatures have been lurking here for a long time.
Why did another group of Fatui suddenly come here
"This is the information I got from my friend. They should just be passing through here on their way to the Layered Chasm in Liyue. So when you patrol the forest today, try to avoid the Layered Chasm area."
Tinari is not a person who is afraid of trouble, but he doesn't want to cause trouble either.
Among these forest rangers and rangers, only a small number have the Eye of God, and most of them are just ordinary people.
He could still deal with ordinary monsters or mushroom beasts, but if he encountered Fatui... ... he didn't think these ordinary people would be a match for those guys.
"Then what about Cole..."
As if remembering something, one of the rangers said Cole's name, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Many people know about the hatred between Cole and the Fatui.
If she knew that the Fatui had come to the city, would she really stay in the city obediently
"This is the second thing I want to say. I have found a way to keep her in Huachengguo and give her a day off, so no one can talk to her about this matter today.
After today, the Fatui will leave Daocheng Forest and enter the Stone Abyss, and she won’t be able to catch up with them.”
This is what Tinari cares about most.
If it were in the past, Tinari wouldn't have worried about anything.
With Cole's skills, she can be said to be invincible in the Daocheng Forest. Coupled with her God's Eye, most of the original gods would not be her opponents, and the same goes for the advance troops of the Fatui.
But now her demonic scale disease has relapsed, and her opponents are the Fatui who will do anything to achieve their goals.
God knows what would happen if they met
Based on his understanding of both sides, the war in Daocheng Forest will definitely be a fight to the death.
"But... I just saw Kelai running into Daocheng Forest?"
At this moment, at the end of the team, a female ranger weakly raised her hand and gave a reminder.
"when!?"
"She was standing right beside me when you said, Mr. Tinari, that you must not tell Cole about this."
"... ..."
After hearing the ranger's words, Tinari nimbly climbed up onto the huge rock behind him where the statue of the Seven-Day God stood. In the direction of Daochenglin, a green figure just sank into the jungle and disappeared.
"Something bad is happening..."
