Chapter 918: The Only Certain Thing

...

Three days later, when Tilly saw the tired faces of the four of them, her heart was finally relieved. From their disheveled appearances and forced smiles, it can be seen that although this trip is full of accidents and thrills, it is generally safe—you can escape unscathed if you go in the wrong direction and are spotted by a large number of demons , is considered lucky enough.

But looking at Ashes without any remorse, she couldn't help feeling angry, and even the consolation that came to her lips turned into a hard-boiled accusation.

"I didn't expect that someone who claimed to have experienced many battles in the wild could not even tell the direction," the fifth princess said angrily, "How did you come from Hermes to the capital of Graycastle back then? ? It’s really strange that it didn’t go directly to the extreme south.”

"Uh... At that time there were often chasing soldiers from the church, and you'll know if you catch them and ask them." Ashes spread his hands, "And this time I don't think the deviation is too far, at least you can see the ruins of Taquila, if If they are dispatched on a large scale, they will always notice..."

"Without enough red mist, they cannot be dispatched on a large scale - what we need to guard against is the surprise attack launched by the dire beasts, and this angle of view can only see their tails at best!"

"It is a very ideal result that everyone is safe and sound, and this position may not be as bad as imagined." Pasha interjected, "His Majesty Roland sent back the first batch of witches yesterday, and Sylvie was among them. The early warning problem has been solved, and this rear view can also help us judge the size of the enemy and reinforcements, so... everyone, go back and rest."

"Oh? Is there any news from the Northland?" Ashes raised his eyebrows.

"Otherwise, it would be more than just me saying a few words to you," Tilly snorted, "Really... let's go!"

"Wait," Ashes paused, first glanced at Pasha, and then showed a faint smile before rushing towards her.

"What happened?"

"No, it's nothing." Ashes curled her lips.

Back at the Witch Building, Tilly was hugged from behind just as she closed the door.

"make you worry."

"Did Pasha tell you that?" Tilly said without turning her head.

"Uh, you guessed it?" The latter hesitated slightly.

"Looking at your expression, I know what's going on." She pushed Ashes' arm away, "If I'm not mistaken, what Pasha said is that I haven't had a good rest these days and spent most of my time watching In front of the magic power core, it is inevitable that your mood will be unstable, so please don't mind my attitude, come back and comfort me."

"...Amazing, all hits." Ashes sighed.

"So, what about an apology?" She turned around.

"No." The extraordinary witch shook her head.

"No?" Tilly's eyes widened, "So it's right for me to worry?"

"No matter how you say it, I can't let you go to the dangerous place in person. This is a decision I made long ago."

"Ash, you don't understand anything," Tilly was furious, "Risk can be calculated, measured, and avoided, and the person who executes it is part of the calculation—even if the plan is perfect, the worst one will be." The executor will also make the situation messy, understand? If it were me, Operation Broken Bridge would not be called a dangerous situation at all!"

"Calculation, measurement, evasion... You are talking more and more like Roland Wimbledon," Ashes shrugged.

"Don't change the subject," the fifth princess remained unmoved, "Isn't that the truth?"

"But accidents are unpredictable. Even if the chances of it happening are slim, I hope I will bear it—after all, there are too many accidents in my life." Ashes bent down and put his hands on Tilly's shoulders. Due to the height difference, this is the only way for her to look at the other party. "There are also good reasons for not apologizing. Since I chose to stay here to fight with the devil-0---0---small-say---this is Gorgeous dividing line--let go of that witch The dividing line --- war, I will go deep into dangerous situations more and more, if I can't come back, wouldn't I owe a lot of apologies?"

"Hello!"

"Listen to me," Ashes said with an extremely serious expression, "Compared to your brother, I don't have many things to do, and it's too difficult for me to think about the witch's future, so this is the only thing I'm sure is right. ...If you are willing to return to Sleeping Island, I can guarantee that I will not worry you again, but not here. Of course, if you worry me, I will not make you apologize. "

Tilly realized that she didn't know what to say. Looking at Ashes with black hair and golden eyes, she actually felt that the other party was inexplicably reliable at the moment.

That's obviously not the case!

"Ahem," she started, "forget it this time, you will explain the whole thing in detail later, I want to find out what the problem is. Now you go take a shower, the smell on your body is about to smell I'm dead."

"Got it," Ashes let out a long breath, "Do you want to wash with me?"

"Don't talk!"

Looking at the leaving Transcendent, Tilly stretched out her right hand and spread her palm.

The place punctured by the ring has completely healed, and there are almost no traces of injury, but the sudden sting pain is still somewhat fresh in his memory.

Fortunately, the feared situation did not appear in the end.

Maybe it's just me worrying too much, she thought.

...

When Lorgar woke up from a long slumber, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort all over his body, as if soaking in a warm spring, dizziness and pain disappeared.

By the way, Nana Paine is back... She vaguely remembered what happened before she fell asleep. The cute little girl ran into the room panting, as if she had never rested all the way. The first sentence was "Sleep peacefully, and you will return to normal when you wake up." Besides her, there were also partners in the adventure group. They yelled a lot at the bedside, but she couldn't remember a single word.

After all, the feeling when Nana's magic power flows through her body is really comfortable.

So now you're all right? She has to thank her well.

Lorgar opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a gray-haired man.

She froze for a moment, "Big... Chief?"

"It's me," Roland nodded, "How does it feel to recover?"

"I... can't tell," she tried to move her fingers, feeling a little jerky, but there was no hindrance in the transmission of consciousness, "There seems to be no problem. How long have I slept? Where is Nana? And... your hands ..."

"Oh, it's just for fun, don't worry about it," Roland pulled his hands away from Lorgar's ears, "I've always been curious about how they feel to the touch, whether they make you feel...well, extra itchy kind."

"No, those are just ears," Lorgar said strangely, "If you don't think they are weird, I don't care."

After she finished speaking, she shook her long ears.

"That's enough for now," the chief coughed twice. "You slept for about three days. This is also the normal adaptation time for the body after recovering from a serious injury—of course it doesn't matter if you don't sleep, but you will be extra tired and uncomfortable."

Lorgar was slightly surprised, "Three days..."

"If Higurashi doesn't remove the symbiotic seed, you can sleep longer," Roland smiled. "You wake up because of your body's reminder, and you should feel hungry later."

"By the way, there is also Miss Higurashi, I have to thank them..." The wolf girl wanted to get up, but was gently held down by the other party.

"You can take your time," Roland said with a smile, "but before that, I have to thank you on behalf of Neverwinter - you did a good job, Lorgar burns the fire, and Neverwinter will reward you."
