"..."

Shi Lang sighed, walked behind her, and said, "Let go. Your rough way of tying your hair is unhealthy for your hair. Your movements should be gentle and soothing."

Shiro gently combed Mordred's hair, then braided her hair into fine braids and twisted it up.

Mordred could feel the softness of Shirou and the gentleness of his palms, but...

"Why are you so skilled? How many women have you combed their hair?"

Hearing this, Shi Lang stretched out his hand and flicked his fingers: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask."

"Mum!"

Mordred reached out his hand to cover his forehead, bulged his cheeks, and glared at Shirou.

At this time, a frightening bird flew up in the forest not far away, with the rustle of branches being moved.

Shirou and Mordred looked at each other, drew out their swords without hesitation, and lurked behind two huge rocks.

Not long after, two figures emerged from behind the grass and rocks, and walked to the river to wash and drink.

—I’ll go, father!

Mordred winked at Shirou, and then walked out from behind the rock while holding the sword.

"Wait a minute, who are you?"

"Don't—"

A familiar and panicked cry came from his ear, Shi Lang raised his eyebrows, the voice was...

He quickly walked out of the rock and saw Mordred riding on Xuanzang Sanzang, with the sharp sword in his hand pointed at Abigail who fell on the river and shivered.

Sure enough...

He quickly shouted: "Stop, Mordred!"

"Father?"

"Shilang benefactor?"

"Big brother?"

The three of them looked at Shirou with six eyes at the same time, and the scene suddenly became embarrassing.

Shilang asked Mordred to quickly get off Xuanzang Sanzang, apologizing and introducing each other again, which resolved the contradiction between the two sides.

"Tsk!"

After knowing that Xuanzang Sanzang was a friend and not an enemy, Mordred chuckled unhappily, got off Xuanzang Sanzang, put his sword away and stood beside Shilang.

"I'm very sorry for being rude to you, Master Xuanzang."

"No, no, it's nothing," Xuanzang Sanzang sorted out his messy attire, then looked at Shi Lang with a smile on his face, and said, "It's great that you are fine, Shi Lang benefactor. This must be the master's manifestation. , Bless the donor."

No, that fish monster will bless people, this is where the sun comes out from the west.

"This should be the result of Master Xuanzang praying for me." Shi Lang said politely.

"No, no, it's nothing to do with me." Xuanzang Sanzang waved his hand quickly, and then said, "The Shilang benefactor doesn't have to call me a mage specially. I'm just a helpless Westwalker. If you don't mind, you can just call me Xuanzang."

"I see," Shilang nodded, and said, "Then Xuanzang can also call me Shilang."

"Tsk!"

Suddenly there was a slight unpleasant tusk in his ear. Shi Lang turned his head and saw that he suddenly saw Mordred's stinky face with "unhappy" written on it, and he was extremely puzzled. This kid was just like that before he was cut into Xuanzang. Not happy?

Without paying attention to Mordred, Shi Lang looked at Xuanzang Sanzang and Abigail, and asked, "Speaking of which, Xuanzang and Abi, why did you get here?"

"This..."

Xuanzang Sanzang turned his head to look at Abigail, and Abigail recovered calm and said, "We are going to Marko, brother."

"You want to go to Marco?"

Shirou looked at the ring of thorns on Abigail's head thoughtfully, and asked, "Is it also because of Spath's message?"

Hearing this, Abigail was stunned, and then asked: "Has Big Brother received a message from Spath?"

Shiro nodded, "Spers said he could help me take off the ring of thorns, so I came here. Why? Is Spers a member of your [Council], Abi?"

Abigail shook his head: "Spers does have a way to help remove the ring of thorns, but Spers is not one of our [Council]. In fact, we don’t know who Spath is, but he was from the council. From then on, this Spers is assisting us [Council]."

"Is that so..."

Shirou touched his chin, that is to say, this Spath is a foreign aid different from the [Council], it may be a monster belonging to Gaia, it may be a heroic spirit summoned in advance, or it may be a foreign enemy whose truth is still unknown.

At this moment, Abigail leaned forward suddenly, hugged Shi Lang, buried his head on Shi Lang's stomach, and muttered, "You are fine, it's great, big brother."

Abigail's sudden appearance made Shirou stunned. Is his relationship with Abigail so close?

Shi Lang certainly would not understand how warm a pure and sincere hug is for a person living in a world of indifference and axiology.

From the moment Abigail lost his divine power and utilization value, Shirou did not abandon her, there was no longer a strange and indifferent estrangement between them. Shi Lang would not understand, because he had always been just himself.

Shilang reached out and touched her little head, and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Abi."

Abigail showed a comfortable expression. Since the Salem Witch case, she has been betrayed by everyone, the people, monks, priests, relatives and friends...the indifference and persecution of everyone makes her heart more and more lonely, until Redeemed by God.

"Tsk!"

Looking at the Shirou who softly touched Abigail's hair, Mordred stomped his feet impatiently, made a "duo" sound, and gave an unpleasant tusk: "I can't bear it anymore."

She walked quickly with a dark face, grabbed Abigail by the back collar, and lifted her up.

"Wow! What are you doing?"

Abigail, who was picked up by Mordred, looked at Mordred in a panic.

"No way Saina, what do I want to ask you for, the evil spirits of the outer universe?" Mordred pointed to Abigail's nose, staring and asked: "Don't pollute my father's spirit!"

Abigail was still a little panicked, but when Mordred heard Mordred denounce her as an evil spirit, she immediately stared at her with anger, and retorted: "I am not an evil spirit! Who can pollute the spirit of others! "

Looking at the two people whose contradiction had begun to intensify again, Shi Lang looked at Mordred helplessly and said: "Mordred, let Abi down, Xuanzang is still watching."

Hearing this, Mordred glared at Shirou annoyedly, and asked: "What is Abi? What is Xuanzang? You guys are too close, don’t you have any self-knowledge? Or, you guys are actually Playing dumb and having fun?"

Mordred poked the bridge of his nose, Shirou showed a puzzling gaze: "...Huh?"
