cloud tree

pain.

The unstoppable pain slowly converged from the limbs to the heart, his heart throbbed suddenly, and Nuoning opened his eyes.What can be seen in the dazzling golden eyes is a bottomless blue-black, with occasional flashes of silvery white.Next is the lush branches, densely twisted together.

He slowly sat up and found himself leaning against a big tree.There was a bright fire not far away, and Lester was sitting by the fire, seriously roasting a half-brown prey rabbit.

After destroying the magic circle, in order to escape and severely injure Leicester, he launched a strong fire fall to blast away the most vulnerable part of the cliff, and the two fell into the forest.He collected his thoughts and looked around again, but the cliff was no longer in sight.They fell really far.

"you're awake."

Lester took the prey from the stand, walked up to him, who was still dazed, and said, "It's getting late. You'd better eat something."

"You are welcome."

He was very familiar with grabbing a tree branch from Lester's hand and placing it in front of his eyes, and a little thought of the most basic wind spell to cool the food.Seeing his natural behavior, Lester couldn't help chuckling: "Chairman Nuoning doesn't distinguish between enemy and friend."

"Usually, I'm familiar with it naturally." He ignored his words and continued to blow off heat. "And His Royal Highness the Demon King is even more welcome."

"Do you know how easy it is for me to kill you now?"

"I know."

He just tried to move his body, but the numbness in his legs forced him to sit down again, quietly waiting for Lester to come over.He calmly analyzed the situation: "I destroyed the magic circle, blasted the cliff, and let you fall down again. It's an unforgivable crime. I can't move flexibly now, and His Royal Highness the Demon King wants to kill me, just in the blink of an eye .”

"Know that you still talk to me in this tone?"

Don't use this kind of tone.Nuo Ning has always been arrogant, even if he is injured, he still does not change his original intention.He replied: "Now I am a burden to you, and I have no idea why you want to save me. Is it because there is an ancient enchantment in the forest that one person may not be able to get out, or is it because I need to be beaten but you Do you look pleasing to my eyes?"

He asked back to Leicester.This surprised Lester. In his eyes, Nuo Ning was always so calm, calmly trying to figure out people's hearts, calmly piercing through everything, and calmly assessing the current situation.

The calmer he is, the more curious Lester is, when will Nuoning show another expression?

But in the next second, Lester's imagination was subverted again.

As soon as Nuo Ning took a mouthful of the rabbit's leg, she immediately coughed heavily, looking miserable and weak.Nuo Ning held the tree branch in his right hand and grabbed his sleeve with his left hand, his voice suddenly softened, as if he was easy to bully: "Can you help me to the fire?"

He patted the back of Nuoning, who was still coughing, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"His Royal Highness, some of the rabbit meat you baked is too raw. I have bad teeth and can't eat it."

.. ......

Lester, who had never been confident in his cooking skills, suppressed the inexplicable unhappiness in his heart, and helped the limping Nuoning to the fire.Nuo Ning put the branch back on, staring at each part of the rabbit, flipping it back and forth according to the degree of ripeness, after several times of roasting, the whole rabbit has been coated with honey-colored charcoal fire.Nuo Ning's culinary skills are several levels higher than his, he is not surprised, there is no reason for the devil to cook himself.

"Give."

Nuoning tore the rabbit in half and gave him half.Here it is his turn to take over Nuoning's work, the color and appearance are very good.Shake it down with a faint charcoal aroma, neither soft nor hard, and the temperature is suitable.It's not as good as the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace, but it's okay on this bitter night.

The night in the ancient forest was too cold. To be on the safe side, he lit torches and set up barriers around him.The source of water is not an important issue. Small streams and springs can be seen at any time in the forest. The portion is not much, and it is enough to drink.The attack of ancient strange beasts is a big problem. If it is swallowed by a species that they have never seen before, Lester I will be destroyed here.

"Your Highness the Demon King." Nuo Ning asked casually while eating: "Is there really no possibility of reconciliation between the two clans?"

"No." Although he was very tired and his consciousness was a bit fascinated, he was not at all ambiguous about major issues. "The grievances of generations are not easy to resolve."

Nuo Ning grasped his words and asked, "I heard you say so, but it can still be solved. But it depends on whether you want it or not?"

"Yes." He nodded, bit off the other half of the rabbit's leg, and said, "The senate and the consul are not roles that can be easily manipulated. I have absolutely no reason to offend them."

"Then what is the reason that His Royal Highness the Demon King is willing to put down the butcher knife?"

"I thought we had already discussed this issue."

"Ha. I was stupid."

Nuoning stopped talking and stopped talking.From several conversations it seemed impossible that he and Lester would make peace.Leicester had no reason, nor could he invent one.It is useless to ask again.

Nuoning simply continued to eat and had a good night's rest.

****

There are few trees in the woods except for trees, and there are few places with a wide view.Nuoning's head fell asleep inexplicably in the quiet atmosphere, and his head unconsciously leaned on Lester's shoulder, unceremoniously serving as a support point to fall asleep.Nuo Ning's face was very quiet, the sunlight leaking from the gaps in the leaves dissipated the usual frost on Nuo Ning's face, and replaced it with a kind of gentleness.

Suddenly, Lester seemed to see a double image between the corners of Nuo Ning's eyebrows.

That same gentle boy.

Nuo Ning leaned on his shoulder, and he was too embarrassed to disturb him, so he sat quietly under the tree and thought about his current state.There are a lot of magic restrictions in the ancient forest. He once used the wind steps to open a passage upwards, but he felt a pain in his heart before he reached the height of seven meters. The multi-layered barrier protects this place tightly.The demons and humans will send people to search, and it may take more than a week to find them in the vast forest.

This week, they will stay put and wait for rescue, or they will find their way out by themselves.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"Well……"

Nuo Ning sat up and opened her eyes, dreaming a big spring and autumn dream in a daze, but it seems to be relying on something?Nuo Ning silently turned his head to look to the right, and unfortunately met Lester's eyes looking at him, and the smile that had just formed on the corner of his mouth suddenly froze.Feelings, he accidentally slept on the shoulder of the Demon King for a long time.It is truly unprecedented.

"What are you thinking?" Nuo Ning looked away and left the topic far away: "Should we continue to stay here or find a way out by ourselves?"

in one sentence.Since the synchronization rate is high, Lester didn't hide it, and asked directly: "What do you think?"

"Sit and watch." Nuo Ning moved her body to make herself more comfortable. "I've been seriously injured and I'm not suitable for action. Someone will come into the forest to look for us in a week. I just need to wait in this place with a fairly wide view. I'm afraid I will provoke some strange beasts if I find my way."

"Unless..." Nuoning paused and smiled ironically. "His Highness the Demon King has many enemies?"

"Not many." He didn't lie, there were many people who were dissatisfied with him and hated him, but only a handful of people would have the courage to rush to the forest to kill him with the help of magic suppression before the search team.The Demon King is not someone who can move at will, and he guesses that there are only a few people in the Senate who have this ability.

"I'm going to sit here."

"Accompany."

In a few words, the future plan has been decided, and the remaining long time can only be spent in chatting and basking in the sun.Fortunately, Nuo Ning was more interesting than he had imagined, and he didn't seem to be completely cold and aloof. In some respects, he was more down-to-earth. He was in a very happy mood while chatting, and it was rare for such a beautiful woman to sneak away while holding a floating life.

But it didn't last too long.

******

"Shusha" is like the sound of someone stepping on fallen leaves.But that's heavier than a man's footsteps, and faster than a man's footsteps.No one can move fast and heavy through the woods.Leicester and Nuoning had a bad idea, and at the same time they co-authored and activated a larger defensive barrier.The fiery fireball came straight towards the two of them in the next second, and collided with the blue barrier. In an instant, the two shattered and the flames flew.

The two men's eyes widened at the creature that suddenly burst out of the woods and came menacingly before them.

It was a fire unicorn.
