“Master, how about you think about it differently?” the system persuaded, “This is just a small world. After completing the mission, all of these will disappear, even if Lin An……”
Xi Ning pouted, “You mean, Lin An will die?”
“No, no, that’s not what I meant……” The system quickly denied it, and racked its brains to explain, “I mean, he will be fine no matter what.”
What the system said couldn’t comfort Xi Ning at all. He walked to the window and pushed hard, even though he knew it couldn’t be opened, he kept trying.
In Lin An’s absence, Xi Ning’s illness began to recur. The two had hardly been separated for such a long time, and he couldn’t help feeling low.
In the end, he was tired, and fell asleep with his head tilted while sitting in a chair. He was woken up by the system in the middle of the night.
“Master, wake up, someone is coming.”
The system called him in a low voice, and Xi Ning subconsciously looked out the door, but the sound came from the window at the side.
Lin An probably wouldn’t come in from here. Xi Ning was on guard immediately. He didn’t have a weapon on him, so he picked up the dinner plate on the table and was ready to throw it at any time.
Xi Ning tried the window that could not be opened for a whole day, but at this time it opened from the outside, and the dwarf’s distinctive curly hair came in from the window. He was holding the window sill with both hands, and he was holding a magic wand in one hand.
“His Royal Highness! I’m here to save you!”
Xi Ning was stunned for a moment, then put down the dinner plate, “It’s you……how did you come up here?”
The dwarf had short legs, and struggled to climb in through the window, sitting on the windowsill and panting, “…it’s a long story, Your Highness Elf, come with me first.”
But Xi Ning shook his head, “I won’t go, I want to wait for Lin An here.”
The dwarf looked strange when he heard the words, and scratched his head, “Well, Lin An…… just follow me first, it’s not safe here.”
“What’s wrong with Lin An?”
In the middle of his speech, Xi Ning was worried and asked eagerly, “Is he injured?”
The dwarf shook his head, “He’s not injured, but he seems…… not normal, maybe he lost his memory.”
Xi Ning said in shock, “Lost his memory?”
“Yeah,” the dwarf recalled Lin An’s indiscriminate attack, and still had lingering fears. “Let’s go down first, we will talk later. The head of the mercenary group is still waiting for us.”
They came to look for Xi Ning secretly while Lin An was not around. The dwarf took a lot of effort to decipher the spell at the window. If Lin An came back, none of them could leave.
Xi Ning hesitated for a moment, and decided to leave first. The dwarf used a magic blanket when he came up. It was a little crowded when two people stepped on it and the magic blanket wobbled a little. There was a mercenary on the ground who was in charge of escorting the two of them. “Leave quickly.”
The dwarf put away the magic blanket, and Xi Ning wanted to ask where Lin An was, but the dwarf only said that he didn’t know. Xi Ning followed them to the back of the tower and walked all the way into the woods. When he arrived at the destination and saw the head of the mercenary group and the rest of the people, compared with the initial number of the mercenaries, their number of members had decreased and some of them were even wounded.
Seeing that the dwarf successfully brought Xi Ning back, they were about to leave immediately, but Xi Ning didn’t want to leave, “Do you know where Lin An is?”
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the head of the mercenary group held on his wounded chest, “He is in the woods on the opposite side.”
Xi Ning immediately turned around and left. The head of the mercenary group hurriedly called him to stop him. He was still injured, and several mercenaries stopped in front of Xi Ning.
“Are you really going to look for him?” At this time the head of the mercenary group already believed that Xi Ning really liked Lin An, he was showing hesitation, “There is something wrong with him, and he might hurt you.”
Xi Ning pursed his lips, with a firm attitude, “Yes.”
He didn’t believe that Lin An would lose his memory, at least let him see Lin An’s condition with his own eyes. He spent a whole day worrying on the tower alone. Plus with the influence of the illness he hadn’t experienced for a long time, Xi Ning is in a very bad mood now.
The head of the mercenary group looked at Xi Ning, then at the subordinates behind him, and finally agreed, “We’ll go with you, but don’t get too close with him.”
Xi Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully, “Thank you.”
Directly crossing there was too eye-catching, the group of people walked around the edge of the woods. On the way, the head of the mercenary group briefly told Xi Ning what had happened in the past few days.
They were controlled by Qiu Nian, and the mercenaries used them as tools to attack the magic tower. Ferro’s guards were drugged by him, and they almost became walking corpses. Lin An came once at night, killed a few Qiu Nia’s people, and then left.
The next morning, one side of the cannons on the tower was completely damaged, Qiu Nian led his men to attack, and Lin An reappeared.
The head of the mercenary group was still unconscious at the time, and he heard many things from his subordinates. They said that Lin An’s strength had suddenly increased, and he was extremely brutal, almost killing anyone he saw.
