After Isaac and his party met, Brandon and Loren decided to take a rest and wait until tomorrow to negotiate with the dragons; Although it actually took them only an hour to climb the mountain, the process was as long as a century.
Especially Loren himself, the dream world was torn by the dragon's hand. The trauma to consciousness is no less than blowing a hole in the spiritual palace. It's lucky that he didn't go into a coma directly, let alone others.
The rest of them are basically different, as if they were not much better - Brandon seems to have experienced an epiphany of great enlightenment. At present, he is physically and mentally tired and quiet. He is hardly like himself;
Lucian and Loren are almost the same, and their mental and physical strength are seriously overdrawn; The little wizard and Isaac suffered from varying degrees of mental trauma and void erosion, which can not be recovered in a moment and a half.
So the group of people who were "entertained" by the dragons were allowed to build a temporary camp in a cave on the top of Jufeng mountain, and there was a hot spring surrounded by dense forests nearby.
However, none of the five people planned to go to the hot spring. Instead, they spent the whole night around the campfire to discuss the plan for the next meeting - in short, how to persuade the silver dragon Enzo and the dragons to agree to provide assistance.
The other party has stopped pestering about the death of Elliot, and now is the best time to get assistance; Although the probability of success is not high, it is at least worth trying.
The little wizard's point of view is to understand with reason and move with emotion; Isaac scoffed at this. In his opinion, the simplest way is coercion and inducement.
To build a thousand "Jiao lightsabers" aimed at Jufeng mountain, they are not afraid that they will not agree - of course, if Loren can have this capital, they don't have to consider wooing the dragon.
Lucian made a seemingly reliable proposal to duel with the Dragon one-on-one - as long as you can win the dragon's respect in this way, it's much easier to ask again.
This is a good idea, but Brandon is very worried that the dragons will not agree to let Lucian or Loren, but let themselves duel with them.
His royal highness, who has always cherished life, sternly rejected this suicide option.
From sunset to dawn, the black haired wizard with dark circles under his eyes and his royal highness resolutely left the cave and walked towards the Dragon Cave with full of thoughts.
As for the negotiation with silver dragon Enzo... It went well.
The success was beyond their imagination!
Not only agreed to all the requirements of the two men and agreed to officially announce to the empire that the dragon family would participate in the battle of Azores elves, but also said that he would personally visit the imperial capital and announce the matter to Emperor Connor.
Throw out all the young dragons and the dead Ink Blue Dragon aolit. There are 12 dragons in Jufeng mountain. Enzo promised to send six dragons to wait near the important strongholds and army assembly sites in the Empire.
In addition, the remaining six dragons in Jufeng mountain - including him - will keep in touch with mirassis and the other five dragons at any time. As long as necessary, the silver dragon can even rush to the battlefield to help fight.
Of course, the power of judgment is still in the hands of the dragons, not in the hands of the Empire or even Brandon.
As for communication... Except Brandon can communicate with mirasis, other dragons can only ensure necessary follow and assistance - even if they provide assistance, the proud dragon can never obey the orders of anyone except the "Dragon Rider".
Even so, this has greatly exceeded their expectations!
Maybe it was a smooth overdo. As a result, it was useless to think about it all night. The two people who were lost in their hearts left the Dragon Cave and decided to rest for a few days before leaving.
After all, it's really rare to have hot springs and unique scenery on the top of the mountain. If you count the "Dragon Cave", it's even more rare.
……………………
The night is dark.
The dense woods pull up the natural curtain to isolate the outside world; All you can see is the starry sky above you, and all you can hear is the long wind whistling over the top of the mountain.
No, not just to see.
At the top of the mountain, even the stars in the night sky seem to be so close that they seem to be able to touch and play with the wind chimes; The wind in the forest seems to be the sound of these "wind bells" being stroked and knocked by themselves.
The wind blowing into the forest is mixed with the smell of grass and flowers, which is commensurate with the silver light reflected by the starry sky. It is wrapped by water vapor and remains in the curtain of the dense forest. It becomes the sparkling light of the water surface and emits fragrance.
As for what happened, it doesn't matter.
Because it must be an illusion... But it is an illusion that makes it particularly interesting.
Loren, who was mostly immersed in the hot spring, squinted and immersed in the world shrouded in water vapor. His shoulders and back of his head leaned against the hot stones on the bank, with a faint smile on his mouth, looking at and fiddling with the "wind bell" on his head.
"Wow ~"
At the other end of the pool under the starry sky, there was a soft sound of footsteps.
With the movement of the grass being separated, the figure of the little wizard gradually emerged in the water vapor - his golden hair was wrapped behind his head, trembling close to the shore, and he was tightly wrapped in a cloak and a "modified" bath towel.
Slightly lift the "bath towel" and lean out his right foot carefully, staring at the water.
"Wow ~"
The white toes immediately got a layer of pink. With the slight trembling of the lower body of the bath towel, he first hurried to lift it, and then quickly dived into the water, -- the timid little wizard was like a hare in the forest, trying back and forth by the pool with fear and curiosity.
Five minutes later, the little wizard who was completely immersed in the water narrowed his eyes, relaxed his body, leaned the back of his head against the bank and made a happy sound.
"How do you feel?"
The dark haired wizard asked softly, hoarse.
"Well..."
AI Yin, who was completely relaxed, just snorted lazily, and didn't even have the strength to think.
……
... huh?
"Alas!"
After nearly half a minute, the little wizard suddenly slipped his foot and nearly fell to the bottom of the pool.
"Loren, Loren?!"
The nervous AI Yin narrowed her eyes and took a long time to see the figure opposite the Qingshui steam. She blushed: "you, you... Why are you still here?!"
"Hmm..." the smiling black haired wizard made a happy voice and said lazily, "I've been there all the time."
"But you, you... Brandon, Lucian, and that arrogant... You, you shouldn't have..."
Shivering, the little wizard stuttered.
"Finished? Oh... So you really can't understand the fun of taking a hot spring bath - not only taking a bath, but also enjoying the process as much as possible and completely relaxing."
Well, it would be better to have a pot of tea or wine and a peeled apple or green radish.
Shaking his head, Lauren with a smile on his face looked very sorry.
"But, but..."
"It's nothing, but don't worry... You can't see anything clearly through such thick water vapor and no light at night."
Besides, I've already seen it - cough, cough, when I was at vimpal college.
That's right.
The little wizard breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the shore, just staring at the looming figure opposite.
But this... Seems pretty good.
Quiet, warm and comfortable, the best friend is beside you - you can enjoy a moment of peace without being too lonely because you are alone.
Time, at this moment, becomes slow and almost static.
Immersed in the water vapor, neither of them wanted to break the peaceful idea and enjoyed it.
If you could just fall asleep, it would be
"Are you asleep?"
It was a lazy voice again, and it seemed clearer than just now.
More clearly
Huh?!
Suddenly turned back, a big liar with a smile on his mouth had unconsciously moved opposite her right hand!
"You, what do you want..."
"Don't be so nervous, I just want to care about you." the black haired wizard continued to comfort softly: "people who take a hot spring bath for the first time generally have little experience, especially those who like to soak all under their head in the water like you, are more likely to faint."
"Get closer and I'll help you in case you don't feel well - don't worry, there's steam in the way. I can't see anything."
It seems that there is a little
Feeling the steam, some sleepy little wizard nodded speciously, but he couldn't help retorting: "it's not the first time for you!"
"Of course not. You can tell from my tone. I still have some experience in this field."
Loren shrugged and looked regretfully at the empty forest around him.
Well, it would be better if there were a sauna room, a bath master and a place to rest after soaking.
The nervous little wizard still stared nervously at the big liar in front of him. The figure of the other party in the water vapor was much clearer than just now. He looked up at the starry sky and looked very calm.
It's really... It's rare to see him so quiet and his eyebrows don't wrinkle.
The little wizard couldn't help thinking.
The impression of Loren seems to be thinking about something all the time - whether three years ago or three years later, whether the enemy is a ghoul in Gumu Town, or a "black cross" serlior lurking in the void.
His enemies seem to be everywhere forever.
But even at the real moment of life and death, the big liar will pretend to be "no big deal", tell the most terrible situation in the most casual tone, and never disclose his true feelings.
The closer he was, the farther he felt from him.
It's like the evil god temple in the wild dog village, like the underground tunnel under the silver helmet mountain.
This guy... Always refuses other people's help and care, just as it will hurt himself and others.
It was not very obvious three years ago. Three years later, the situation became more and more serious.
Mentor Dalton and master ashmai reminded him countless times, but they went in one ear and out the other;
The repeated protests of the Earls of Byrne were suppressed by him by various means;
Charlotte... Charlotte hinted again and again that this guy would never move.
What is the reason for this big liar to insist on going on like this, as if tomorrow would be the end of the world?
The little wizard couldn't understand it.
The hot water soaked her body, and drowsiness gradually invaded her consciousness and completely relaxed; The tightly wrapped "bath towel" is also gradually loosened.
A natural smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. Ayn, who was no longer thinking much, closed her eyes with satisfaction. Sakura lips gently breathed the air mixed with water mist, and her throat was itchy.
"... your bath towel is loose."
It is still the voice of laziness to the extreme.
But this time it was very clear, as if it was said in her ear.
Well, in my ear.
Huh?!
The little wizard who woke up hurriedly wanted to open his eyes, but the faint consciousness made the process extremely difficult. No matter how she struggled, it was useless.
The thin upper eyelid seems to be very heavy.
"It's all right. Don't get up. I've picked it up for you."
The comforting voice of the black haired wizard came again, as if in front of her: "don't worry, I can't see anything in such a thick vapor."
"Well... Big liar..."
Unable to open her eyes, Ayn's lips trembled and squeezed out a sound from her throat.
"What are you talking about?" the black haired wizard puzzled. "I can't hear you."
"Big... Liar..."
"Or I'll get closer and hear it clearly."
Simple words sound like a child.
"Liar..."
The little wizard muttered, but he couldn't help getting up - he couldn't open his eyes, but he still wanted to slap a "big liar".
"Hey... Be careful! Don't move, the bath towel will open again!"
Loren's panicked voice rang out, which made Ayn laugh.
Unconsciously, the two figures in the pool have leaned together.
The loose hand gradually sank into the water, and the little wizard leaned his sleepy head against the black haired wizard's shoulder; He rubbed hard, and the long golden hair spread out immediately.
"Ayn, your hair covers my face."
"Shut up, big liar, don't talk."
"But it itches..."
"Don't talk!"
"But..."
"Don't talk!"
With a silly smile, Ayn murmured in a low voice, looking for a suitable angle, revealing a satisfied smile.
"Big liar, you succeeded."
"Heaven and earth conscience, this is completely different from what I think." Lauren pulled the corners of his mouth and defended himself: "I'm just thinking of you. I'm afraid you fainted and fell into the water."
"A fool will believe you." the little wizard couldn't help but retort, his voice getting lighter and lighter:
"That's it... Don't move, okay?"
"Don't worry," Lauren said lazily, leaning against the rocks on the shore:
"The water vapor is so big that I can't see anything."
"Yes."
The sleepy Ayn replied in a low voice.
In the quiet midnight, the two people in the hot spring hug each other quietly and enjoy a moment of peace.
