Suddenly there was the sound of two people's footsteps behind him, but he didn't panic.
The young man's hearing has been trained, and distinguishing footsteps is just a basic skill. He knows who these two people are without looking back.
He was obviously wearing a pair of high-top boots, but apart from the sound he made when he stepped on the broken branches, the one who walked almost silently was undoubtedly his instructor; and the one who was wearing flat cloth shoes and walking briskly was naturally that girl.
"You are back."
At this time, the boy was sitting on the bank of the river, throwing stones and playing with floats. The baby girl was lying on his lap. Once the boy made several beautiful floats with the stones on the water, she would keep applauding.
He didn't expect that he would actually use this method to calm the crying baby. In short, it would be nice to make the baby forget about hunger for a while.
"Well, you're back. Don't you want to do something else?" Ming Die thought that this always cunning boy would do some "unnecessary" things while she was away, so she deliberately set up an induction barrier nearby.
, but there was no sign of the barrier being touched. It seemed that the young man had indeed stayed here honestly as she asked.
"No, I can't concentrate just taking care of this little guy. I can't do anything else." The young man sighed, and then he covered his growling stomach. He was also hungry.
.
There is still one flower and fruit ball given by Mingdie, but he kept it in his pocket in case of emergency. It is better to use that kind of thing as emergency food.
"Oh, good performance, do you want to eat?"
Mingdie took out a wild fruit similar to an orange from the basket. Although the boy did not answer, his stomach had already given an answer, so she threw the fruit towards the boy.
"Hey! What's wrong with Nia?" The young man turned around and took it with his backhand. When he was about to skin it to satisfy his hunger, he found that the girl who was following Ming Die looked gloomy and lifeless.
"Don't look at me, I didn't do anything."
Facing the young man's suspicious gaze, Ming Die could only sigh helplessly, waved his hand in front of the still unconscious girl and said:
"Little sister, we are all back. Look in front of you, your favorite Verus."
"Forehead!!"
The effect of these words was really great. Nia immediately came back to her senses, but then she found that the real owner mentioned by Mingdie was in front of her, and her cheeks turned red instantly.
"You...what on earth did you do?"
…
There was a dead snake among the ingredients that he brought, which surprised the young man. It happened that he also caught a few fat fish from the river while waiting, so today's dinner was a rich one.
The preparation of the dinner was mainly done by the teenager. After all, he had received some training in the kitchen of the Bardafener military camp, and he was familiar with cooking by himself. In addition, Nia also helped, so it was not necessary to prepare all the dinner.
How much effort it takes.
As the provider of kitchen utensils, seasonings and other items, Mingdie had no intention of adding ingredients to the meal, but she did not take any time off either. Mingdie stood nearby and observed the boy's every move to prevent him from doing anything wrong with the meal.
Naturally, the young man did not have any poison or anything on hand, and it was impossible to extract the venom of the pied snake under the eyes of the butterfly. Moreover, if this kind of thing was put into everyone's food, it would inevitably be mistaken by the Nia sisters.
Food. He remembered that the high-level shadow thorn of Ming Die also seemed to have strong poison resistance. I am afraid that using ordinary poisons would not achieve the desired effect. Even the spotted snake venom, which is fatal to ordinary people, might not be able to kill Ming Die.
Cause effective damage.
Since the young man didn't intend to do anything, there was nothing wrong with this dinner. Mingdie couldn't find anything suspicious, but she still had an opinion: "Put less salt, too much. And why did you add pepper?"
?Do you want the grilled fish to become food for evil spirits?"
"Miss Fred, this is a normal amount. If you add less, it will be the same as if you don't add it at all."
Whenever the boy planned to add some condiments, Mingdie would always tell him to add less, or would give him various weird reasons not to add them.
By the way, the seasoning provided by Mingdie was only salt, and the pepper and other ingredients were leftover from the boy's homemade tear gas.
"Then make me a dinner without too much salt or the strange condiments you brought."
"Oh, okay."
Since this night elf has such a picky taste, it's up to her to decide what flavor she wants.
Dinner consisted of wild vegetable soup, grilled fish, snake soup, and fruit and vegetable salad. Mingdie also provided a small bottle of fruit wine. To be honest, it had been a long time since they had eaten so luxuriously, and Nia had clearly chosen this snake soup.
It's on the blacklist, but the other food tastes really good.
Mingdie's request was not difficult. The young man used separate plates to serve each of the dishes without seasonings, sprinkled some salt on a small plate, and handed the independent meals to Mingdie.
butterfly.
"That's pretty much it." The young man's method made Mingdie nod with satisfaction. She picked up a grilled river fish from the campfire and prepared to take a bite first.
"Sister Fred, aren't elves only vegetarian?" Seeing that this elf also eats fish, Nia couldn't help but feel doubtful.
But now Mingdie is eating, and elves don’t like to talk while eating, so the young man explained for her:
"No, only high elves who believe in the nature god Baroclo only eat vegetarian food. She is a night elf who believes in the god of Hades, so she has no taboos."
"Are there high elves and night elves among the elves?" Nia then asked.
"In addition to night elves and high elves, there are also fire elves, earth elves, wood elves, etc. There are many types of elves. Just like we humans have many branches, there are also many branches of the elves." Since the girl in front of him seems to be.
Very interested, the young man planned to talk about what he knew in detail.
"Then Sister Fred, why is her race called night elves?"
"Night elves can see at night, and her race's skin color is darker. In particular, night elves' eyes are as dark as night. These characteristics make her race called night elves."
…
Ming Die felt that she was completely left alone. She thought that Nia would continue to ask her questions, but in the end, the girl asked all the questions to the boy. That was fine, she had no intention of staying here. According to the mission requirements, she only needed to ensure that the baby was safe.
As long as it's safe, I don't intend to get too involved with the boys and the others.
"I'm done eating, you guys can chat slowly."
"When will we set off?" The young man called to Mingdie who was about to get up. He had to confirm the itinerary first.
"We won't leave until dawn tomorrow morning. You also need to rest. After eating, we will tidy up later. You can sleep while I keep watch."
Is she actually so humane? Hearing such a gentle reply, the young man felt that he had misunderstood Mingdie. Maybe she was not a cold-blooded killer now, but a reliable companion. If we could discuss it, maybe things would work out in the end.
Get together and disperse.
"This is too troublesome for you. I'll just keep watch." Although the young man was relieved to let Ming Die keep watch, it was a bit strange that the other party was too positive and friendly for no reason, so he wanted to take over the task of keeping watch first and then check the situation.
"We'll talk about this later. We have a 'guest' here." Ming Die squinted her eyes and turned her gaze to the already dark forest. Even with her night vision, she couldn't see anything for the time being. But.
Just now, the induction barrier she arranged was triggered.
The young man stood up and drew his dagger from his waist. The "guests" Mingdie mentioned were of course not really guests, but "uninvited guests", a group of guys who came uninvited.
Were they those wolf-headed men? Unexpectedly, they actually chased after them. In the past, the boy would have planned to run away, but he was not nervous now.
With the killer Mingdie here, aren't those guys looking for death?
