holy flame

Entering the mountain, avoiding the large army that may appear from the undead, and avoiding those compatriots who are not much better than the undead, this does not mean that there is a vast sea and sky waiting for them.There are wild beasts, monsters, poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions in the mountains, and there are also undead—just as there are always people living alone in the human world, there are also undead worlds, and there are more of them than humans.

What's more, the army's food was running out.Although it is summer, so collecting wild fruits and vegetables, plus hunting can feed everyone's mouth, but what about winter?Moreover, their tents were not enough to shelter from the severe cold and wind, and their clothes were not enough to protect everyone from the cold.

It seems easy to store food and find shelter from the cold, but it is definitely not easy in practice.

The task of some paladins is to destroy the monsters they encounter, and Samuel is no exception.But today, after killing a group of monsters that looked like black bulls, Samuel's team accidentally discovered a valley.

"There are water sources in the valley, and the land is fertile and can be cultivated. Looking at the terrain of the valley, although it is impossible for the valley to still be like spring in winter, the wind and snow will definitely not be stronger than outside. The only bad thing is that the valley No matter how in or out, there is only one way. If the way out is blocked by people, we will become rats in a crock pot. But I was short on time at the time, I just went around the valley roughly, there may be other ways out and I Not found." Samuel reported to Hadro and the others in Commander Lance, and at the same time took out the map he had roughly drawn.

Then Samuel left the main tent, his job done, and there was no need to stay there.

Back in his tent, Samuel found a small bag of wild strawberries next to his sleeping bag.He thought for a while, picked up the strawberries and walked out of the tent.There is only one person who will give him this now.

All the way to find Eric's residence - he doesn't have his own separate tent, but lives in a 50-person tent with the rest of the archer unit - but he is not in the tent.Others also said that their mission was over, and Eric left by himself, and has not returned until now.

Confused, Samuel could only go back to his camp. After asking several people in a row, someone told him that Eric had indeed entered his tent, but when Eric was about to leave, Wells called him away. After that, the two of them headed out of the camp.After leaving the gate of the camp, there is a vast mountain forest.The person who showed Samuel the way could only vaguely give a general direction, and it was getting dark now. If you want to find two people in this situation, unless Samuel has a dog nose, otherwise it is obvious It is impossible.

Samuel stood at the gate of the camp, frowning as he looked at the dense forest that had turned from lush to dark as the night darkened.This wasn't the first time Eric had given him something. Although it was just wild fruits like wild strawberries, these gifts were precious enough under the current circumstances.And even if Samuel is a fool, he knows the deep meaning behind Eric's gifts.

The man likes him.

But what Samuel didn't understand was, why didn't Eric pursue him like Julian did, but why did he evade every time after giving gifts?Is this something called playing hard to get, or is it something else?

Samuel looked for Eric several times, but they are all busy like tops now, it is really difficult for them to have a rest time together, and Eric avoids Samuel on purpose, so Samuel couldn't ask him more and more questions.

Samuel hesitated whether to give up first and wait for the next opportunity, or continue to wait here. Two people came out of the woods one after the other in the distance, and who was the one walking behind if it wasn't Eric?

Eric walked behind Wells with his head down, because he didn't look at the road in front of him, so when Wells stopped suddenly, he almost hit the back of the person in front.

"Eric."

"Master Wells?"

"Are you really not thinking about me anymore?"

Eric's bronze-colored face suddenly turned even more red: "No, no! Lord Wells, I really..."

"Then, let me bless you." Wells patted Eric on the shoulder and left with a smile.With his departure, Eric's sight was no longer blocked, which allowed him to see Samuel walking slowly - the small bag containing wild strawberries was even more conspicuous.

Samuel didn't ask Wells what he said when he called Eric out. He just nodded to his colleagues and walked towards Eric.

"Do you have the courage to give me a gift, but not the courage to meet me?"

"grown ups."

"You gave me something because you like me?"

"..."

"Or because you're just trying to comfort me?"

"..."

Samuel pressed his forehead, and Eric's taciturnity made him a little headache: "Are we guessing riddles?"

"I just want to comfort you..." The voice was as low as a mouse. If Samuel hadn't been waiting for Eric's answer wholeheartedly, it might really be because of a little mouse somewhere.

"Thank you." Samuel was stunned for a moment, because he "woke up" that he was self-righteous. He rubbed Eric's hair, "But don't send anything anymore, I can walk this way by myself."

"Yes, my lord." Eric lowered his head and replied softly.

"It's getting dark, let's go back and rest." He patted Eric on the shoulder again, and put the bag of strawberries back into Eric's hand, then turned and left without looking back.Eric raised his head behind him, his dark green eyes were slightly darkened, he showed a bitter smile, and returned to the camp behind Samuel.

"Only you?" Samuel returned to the Paladin's camp, and before he entered his small tent, someone behind him patted him on the shoulder.

"Why can't it be a person?" Samuel turned around strangely and found that it was Wells.

"I thought you'd bring him back."

Samuel looked at Wells, even more confused.

Wells sighed: "Samuel, I know you just lost your first lover, but there are still people who love you, you should look forward, don't let the person who still loves you be sad and disappointed .”

"Did you misunderstand something?" "Did you just reject Eric?"

"I just told him not to comfort me in the future."

"Uh...he is really like my past lover." Wells smiled wryly, "Samuel, some people in this world are so introverted that they almost have low self-esteem. He proclaims his love, unless he is caught by the one he loves."

Samuel pointed to himself: "Me?"

"Let's do it for ourselves." Wells patted Samuel on the shoulder, turned and left——
