Lin An didn't sleep all night, always paying attention to Xi Ning's state. He found that Xi Ning should have some resistance to spells. He woke up in a daze, but was not fully awake.
He did not increase the amount of spiritual energy, Xi Ning was quite quiet in his arms, and turned over and slept soundly on him in the middle of the night.
It was a little brighter, and Xi Ning was still not awake when Lin An was about to get up. He worried that Xi Ning would be cold when sleeping on the ground alone, so he took Xi Ning back to the bed again.
He got out of the carriage, and the team stopped to change shifts. The head of the mercenary regiment saw Lin An stepping out and walking in his direction when he was passing by.
"It's almost there," the team leader looked around and lowered his voice, "When will you leave the team and do you want to cover it for you?"
Lin Anyan was concise and terrified: "No need."
The head nodded and turned to leave, Lin An stopped him again, took out a dusty cloth bag from the storage bag and handed it to him.
"What's this?" The leader untied the strap and took a look, and it was full of gold coins.
His face was shocked. He had agreed to let Lin An join the team to go to the forest to avoid the forest. Lin An had already paid the reward, and now this is...
Lin An's tone was light: "The two who killed you."
After he finished speaking, he went to the front to get breakfast, the head of the group understood, and quietly collected the gold coins and left.
When Lin An returned to the carriage, Xi Ning just got up.
When he wakes up in the morning, he always sits for a while, looking at Lin An who comes in with a silly expression.
Xi Ning remembered that he had a dream, in which Lin An confessed his heart to him, and would not let go of holding him, but he just didn't say his true identity, and he kept wearing the mask and didn't want to take it off.
As for whether Lin An had kissed him, Xi Ning couldn't remember, only that Lin An's embrace was very real.
When Xi Ning woke up, the system collapsed and greeted him: "Good morning host..."
"You too." Xi Ning yawned and got out of bed to wash, without noticing that Lin An's eyes were always on him.
Xi Ning didn't mention the thing that asked him to sleep in a hug last night. Maybe he forgot, maybe he didn't want to, so Lin An would not take the initiative to talk about it.
The Refuge Forest is almost here. Before that, it would be good for them to maintain such a relationship. If Xi Ning was scared and alienated himself, it would not be good. After entering the forest, he had to find a chance to take Xi Ning away from the team.
But Xi Ning took a chance and tentatively asked Lin An, "When we get the flowers back, you will go back with me, right?"
Lin Anming is his servant, so he doesn't need to go back to the mercenary group.
Lin An neither agreed nor refused, but said, "His Royal Highness, you are an elf."
The implication is that it is not appropriate for him, an ordinary human, to return to the Cliff Valley Forest with Xi Ning, and Xi Ning's other tribes will not welcome him.
"I don't care," Xi Ning held his hand tightly, "You must be by my side."
Lin An looked down at Xi Ning's fingertips, her eyes soft: "Yes, Your Highness."
Three days later, they arrived in the sheltered forest.
This forest can't be seen from the side, and there are trees of unknown species planted on the outside. The trunks and leaves of the forest seem to be covered with a layer of ashes, and the inside and outside seem to be two worlds.
Xi Ning always has a sense of intimacy when facing plants and trees. When he was in the cliff valley forest, he often felt the state of the entire forest, but now he feels that the tree in front of him is lifeless.
The woods are densely packed with trees, and the carriage can't get in. Some people in the team have to stay and watch. Filo and the team leader are discussing the allocation of personnel. Xi Ning approached the woods and wanted to reach out and touch them.
This forest is very dangerous. At the request of His Majesty Ferro, the Chief Guard brought several people to protect Xi Ning. When he saw this, he took action to stop him: "Your Majesty, you can't touch it."
The head of the guard explained: "The outer circle is a silver ring tree, which produces a toxin that will cause people who approach and touch to have hallucinations. Even high-level magicians can easily be recruited without precautions."
"Before entering, there will be a wind magician coming over to disperse it first, or your Highness will go back to the carriage and rest for a while."
Lin An silently watched them talk, thinking about the possibility of attacking these guards to take Xi Ning away.
Xi Ning nodded and stopped running around. When he returned to the carriage and waited for their arrangements, a dozen strangers rode in from another direction and stopped at a distance when they saw their convoy.
Filo’s subordinates and the mercenary group were on alert. The visitors talked to each other for a while. An older man wearing a high-level robes walked over and bowed gracefully, injecting aura into his words. Let everyone in the team hear: "It's a great honor to meet you, can you make friends?"
Xi Ning glanced at her head, Lin An took out the cloak from the carriage and put it on him, letting him cover the sharp ears.
The chief guard went to negotiate with this man, and soon returned to report to Ferro: "Your Majesty, they went to the forest to hunt for treasure."
Rumor has it that there is a tall tower in the forest with countless treasures and gold coins hidden in it. Unfamily magicians and warriors continue to enter the treasure hunt, and they are no exception.
Knowing that Xi Ning and his party were just looking for a flower and had no idea about the treasure in the tower, the magician who came over relaxed and returned to his team.
They tied their horses outside, cared for their formation, and were not afraid of passing people away, so they advanced into the woods quickly.
Lin An watched these people enter the forest until their backs completely disappeared, and withdrew his indifferent gaze.
After the personnel on Filo's side were arranged, two wind magicians walked out of the team to separate the toxins in the air outside the forest, revealing a safe way to pass.
Among the people who entered, except for Fei Luo, Xi Ning was the key protection object. The dwarves and the regiment leaders with the highest force value led the way in the front. Xi Ning later entered the sheltered forest under escort.
The dwarf was very relaxed. He came once and knew that there was no danger in the outer forest. He chatted with the leader in front of him: "Do you have enough tents and sleeping bags? I don't want to sleep with others..."
The head tilted his head in one direction, stopped and made a silent motion.
The dwarf said inexplicably: "What's the matter? I told you all, there is no danger now..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a scream in the distance.
Xi Ning heard it too, he was taken aback, pulling Lin An tightly behind him, and the surrounding guards quickly entered a fighting state.
Lin An frowned slightly, and there were several roars and fights of wild beasts in the direction of the screams.
Most of it was the group of people who had just entered. With Ferro's consent, the head of the group asked a few people to go over and take a look, and provide support when necessary.
They also approached one after another at the rear, and when they arrived at the scene, the corpse of a Tier 4 serrated tiger fell to the ground, and there was another human corpse.
The magician who came to say hello from outside the forest swallowed the pill to restore spiritual energy, and took off the ripped robe: "It is our carelessness that was succeeded by this monster. Please pay attention too."
The dwarf dignifiedly stepped forward to examine the serrated tiger's body, scratching his head: "No, how can this kind of beast appear on the periphery?"
The level distribution of monsters in this forest is clear. Tier 4 should appear in the inner layer or on the outer periphery of the inner layer. How could this sawtooth tiger come here
The group leader unscrewed the kettle and took a sip: "Just leave it alone, and find the red frost flower as soon as possible."
Lin An looked at the tower from behind, frowning on the face hidden under the mask.
The dwarf knows well about the Refuge Forest. He is right. Tier 4 monsters shouldn't appear here. The Sawtooth Tiger has a strong sense of territory and will not easily run so far.
, Unless there is something in it that scares it.
The only thing that could threaten these beasts in the center of this forest was the tall tower he left behind.
If someone climbed to the top of the tree and looked into the distance, he could see a corner of the building, and Lin An could feel the call from there without having to look.
Xi Ning approached Lin An. Lin An returned and lowered his head. Xi Ning looked nervous and said, "You must not run around, it's dangerous here."
He remembered that the dwarf had told him that a person with a low force value was very likely to die if he entered the forest. Although Lin An was not an ordinary low-rank warrior, Xi Ning was still very worried: "Why don't you... wait for me outside?"
"His Royal Highness, don't worry," Lin An said in a low voice, "I will be fine."
Xi Ning was still worried, and once again said: "Then you must be careful, we can go out when we find Red Shuanghua."
Lin An was silent for a while, and asked, "Is this flower important to Your Highness?"
"Of course, I promised His Majesty Ferro to save his wife," Xi Ning nodded, "Red Shuanghua is his only hope."
On the road, Xi Ning often saw Ferro take out a pocket watch and watched quietly. He had asked curiously. His Majesty Ferro told him that there was a portrait of the queen in his pocket watch.
He gave Xi Ning a glance. The young woman in the portrait was outstanding, with a quiet and elegant smile, and looked like a very gentle person.
Filo could have stayed in the palace, because he was not relieved, he followed the team personally. He had promised the queen that he would come back with the flowers smoothly.
Lin An quickly replied, "Okay."
Since this was what Xi Ning wanted to do, he would wait for Hong Shuang to find a chance to take Xi Ning away.
The group of people continued to move forward. The dwarf had a good memory. He took the map to identify the direction, put away his playful look, and led the crowd quickly towards the direction of Red Frost Flower.
To reach the lake where the Red Shuanghua is located, you have to pass through the outer layer of the forest. The lake is in the middle zone. Originally, there were only low-level monsters in the outer layer. There were many second- and third-order monsters in the middle layer, but now the outer layer appears. Tier 4 monsters, the dwarves are not sure what they will encounter when they go inside.
Everyone can only speed up as much as possible, go early and return early.
They entered the forest in the afternoon. Fortunately, they didn't meet the high-level monsters again until the evening. Only some low-level courageous people ran away when they smelled the breath.
It is not easy to drive in the evening. They prepare to rest in a more spacious place. The guards set up the tent, and the people in charge of the food distribute canned food.
You can only eat these temporarily when you enter the forest, give Xi Ning
It is a special canned vegetable, although the taste is average, Xi Ning can barely eat it.
The number of tents is limited. Lin An was originally arranged to rest with the guards, but Xi Ning refused to let him enter his tent.
If everyone knows why Lin An wears a mask all day, I am afraid that Xi Ning and him have something before. Ferro thinks Xi Ning is a little scared, and wants to let familiar people be with him, so there is nothing. Prevent.
The space in the tent is incomparable with the carriage, and the two sleeping people will inevitably touch them. Lin An did not refuse Xi Ning, and lay down on the edge of the paved mattress.
Sleeping till midnight, Xi Ning leaned in affectionately, and Lin An carefully turned to his side and hugged him.
He didn't use the magic technique, Xi Ning might wake up midway at any time. Lin An felt a strange sense of tension and enjoyed it secretly. When the day was about to dawn, he retracted his hand to adjust his posture.
Three days later, the dwarf found the lake in his memory.
Strange to say, they have encountered several Tier 3 monsters on the road these days, and even a Tier 4 monster, but they always hurried away after approaching them.
The dwarves are big-hearted, saying that they may be crowded, and those beasts are scared.
Others didn't understand the reason, but as long as it was safe, only the head of the group looked at Lin An who was following Xi Ning, with a look of all thoughts.
The dwarf once said that there was a Tier 3 giant crocodile in the lake. Before approaching to find the red frost flower, the group leader took people to throw a few water bombs into the water, and it really blew a four-meter-long crocodile.
"that's it!"
The dwarf commanded the mercenaries to quickly dispose of the giant crocodile, but saw that the giant crocodile didn't dare to approach the shore at all, and swam far away with a flick of its tail.
Everyone suffocated their breath, and retracted their weapons in a weird manner. The head of the group seemed to have expected it, and waved: "Hurry up and find flowers."
The lake was so big that the dwarf couldn't remember exactly where it was. Xi Ning also looked along the shore. He knelt down and stretched out his hand to stroke the wet grass, sensing the breath here.
Probably because he had never seen a forest elf, all the flowers and plants were very repulsive to Xi Ning, and it took a while to gradually accept Xi Ning's spiritual nourishment, exuding goodwill towards him.
Soon someone shouted: "Here!"
Xi Ning got up and went over. The dwarf and a few magicians who knew Lingzhi arrived first, and after careful inspection, they definitely said: "Yes, this is indeed a red frost flower."
Seeing Xi Ning approaching, the people in a circle gave him a place, Ferro looked excited: "His Royal Highness, take a look, can you save yourself?"
Xi
Ning put down his hood, his silver hair fluttering slightly in the wind, he knelt down and reached out to touch the scorched flower stem.
Everyone looked at him expectantly, Xi Ning was a little nervous, turned to look at Lin An behind him, and felt calmer: "I'll give it a try."
When he touched the flower stem just now, he didn't feel the sign that it was still alive. Xi Ning closed his eyes and released the fire of life.
The gentle and unique aura envelops the flower stem. After a long time, Xi Ning finally felt a faint response and opened his eyes in surprise.
The fire of life continued to pour into the stems of the red frost flower, penetrated into the root system stuck in the soil, the originally charred shell cracked a crack, and a touch of green appeared in the crack.
The people around didn't dare to get out of the air, and they didn't want to disturb Xi Ning until the red frost flower completely removed the black shell on the outside, and a new bud grew at the top, and a small flower bud grew up slowly.
When the petals of the red frost flower are fully bloomed, it will become a hard transparent glass. Only when the outer petals are removed when it is still in the bud, it can be used as medicine.
Seeing that it was almost done, Xi Ning stopped and gasped for breath. For the first time he used so much spiritual energy and life fire, his stamina was a little weak, but Hong Shuanghua came back to life.
He stood up on his knees, and the pharmacist responsible for fetching the petals immediately stepped forward, and Filo red eyes and thanked him: "His Royal Highness, thank you."
Xi Ning smiled at him: "You have worked hard too."
Ferro was extremely excited, and after talking to Xi Ning, he turned to guard the pharmacist, and everyone else was paying attention to the flower.
Xi Ning withdrew from the crowd and wanted to find a place to sit down and rest for a while, suddenly a hand held his waist tightly from behind, and brought him back.
Before losing consciousness, Lin An's familiar voice sounded in his ear: "Your Highness, we should go."
