An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

After a burst of laughter, the heavy pressure in Ma Long's heart was relieved a little.
Although it’s not much, it’s better than nothing.

"Thank you. I feel a little relieved now."

"You're welcome, Malone. It's my honor to help you."

The corners of Weil's lips curled up into a beautiful smile, her eyes full of affection as she stared at the holy warrior beside her.

Although her appearance is not as stunning as that of an elf, her looks are actually very attractive. Coupled with her background as a daughter of nobility and her unique chivalrous spirit of traveling the world alone with a sword, punishing evil and promoting good, her charm is really quite high.

It's just that her skin color is darker, and now she has a pair of horns growing on her forehead, so she ranks relatively low among the beauties...

Malone's heart skipped a beat when he noticed that the other person was looking at him with a strange look in his eyes.

But before he could say anything, Weier suddenly stood up and walked to the open space, took a deep breath, and began to dance.

Every movement appears light, graceful and extremely skillful.

Dance and combat skills have one thing in common, they both require long-term and persistent practice, and it is not difficult to see that she has put in a lot of effort for this.

Looking at the woman dancing in front of him, Ma Long did not interrupt her.

But appreciate it quietly.

Although there was no music accompaniment and the performance was outdoors, Weier acted as if she was in a luxurious ballroom of the upper class.

In the harmony of various instruments, show yourself in a selfless way.

He would also smile meaningfully at the audience from time to time.

Soon, the dance was over.
Ma Long clapped softly, while consciously controlling the volume so as not to disturb those who were resting.

After receiving the praise, Wei Er breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I haven't practiced for a while, so many of my moves are not perfect."

"Really? I didn't see that... At least to an outsider like me, it's very good."

This evaluation is not intended to be flattering, Ma Long sincerely thinks it is good!
The dance steps and body movements were as smooth as flowing water from beginning to end without any pause.

However, Weier saw that he had no other reaction except words of praise, and she couldn't help but look surprised, and asked hesitantly:
"Did you do that on purpose? Or do you really not understand?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Ma Long was stunned and confused, not understanding what it meant at all.

Seeing this, Weier thought for a moment, then covered her face with shame and explained weakly:
"...This dance actually represents the meaning of courtship. It is widely spread and recognized by both the common people and the powerful classes..."

"I'm sorry, I thought you knew..."

"what!?"

Malone's face suddenly turned pale! He was not a "local" in Feren, so how could he know that a dance could actually contain certain meanings!

I thought it was just improvisation.

Then Weier calmed down and looked directly at the person she loved:

"I know that we shouldn't talk about love affairs at a time like this, but when I think about the possibility that we might lose the battle tomorrow..."

"I really don't want to have any regrets, Paladin, my hero... I love you."

Now that things have come to this, she no longer beats around the bush and boldly expresses her love! There are few women in the world who would not be attracted to a paladin wearing shining armor and standing up for herself.

Even if the Border Blade is called a hero by the world, doesn't he want a hero to save him?
The moment Marlon negotiated with her devil master and tried to regain her freedom, Weier knew in her heart that this man was exactly what she had dreamed of!
Even if the other person has someone in their heart, you still have to express your feelings to that person if you can't get him/her.

At this point, Ma Long immediately stood up and declined with a complicated expression:

"First of all, I am very happy to receive your favor, but I am sorry that I cannot... accept this kindness," "I may not be able to give you the future you want."

Hearing this, Weier was slightly surprised:

"What? Isn't the reason you refused because of Astelon?"

In her opinion, the reason for the failure of the confession was simply that she was outdone by someone else, but the words of the Holy Knight proved that there was actually another hidden reason!

It's not what you imagine.

"Of course not. Once we get through this, I'll find the right time."

"Tell you and everyone else all about me. For now, go and rest."

As he spoke, Ma Long gently pushed the other person's back, trying to send him towards the direction of his tent.
However, Weier took only two steps and stopped. After a pause, she turned back, stared at the man, bit her lower lip and said:

"You also said it was just a 'maybe', so I still have a chance...right?"

After all, the rejection was not due to another woman, so she naturally didn't want to give up!
Although there are many sufferings in the world, there are also beautiful things. Love is undoubtedly the most desirable and even the one that people risk their lives for.

Ma Long did not respond to this question. He felt mixed emotions. He had no idea what his future would be like...

Seeing this, Wei immediately spoke up:

"I'll take this as your consent. I didn't hear anything just now. Please give me your answer after we have overcome the difficulties that are just around the corner."

"That's it. Good night."

After saying that, she stood on tiptoe slightly, gave the man a light kiss on the side of his face, and then walked quickly towards the tent without looking back.

Ma Long stared at the other person's back in a daze, and touched the slightly wet part of his cheek.
He couldn't help but frown and sigh helplessly. It felt good to be favored by others, but unfortunately he couldn't respond, let alone make a promise...

Now he was alone again by the campfire.
The "night" is still very long. Even after this little episode, there is still a lot of boring time to spend.
There was no choice but to continue sitting down and polishing the sword, trying to find something to do so that he wouldn't fall asleep without realizing it.

Imagination is good, but reality is always the opposite. I don't know how many hours have passed.

He couldn't resist the sleepiness after all...

He became drowsy and his vision gradually blurred. The brightly burning bonfire in front of him had become a shadow in his eyes.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, a gentle call suddenly came:

"Marlon, you look exhausted."

“…I’m not asleep!”

Hearing this, Ma Long's nerves seemed to be stimulated. He suddenly stood up, and his previous sleepiness was swept away in an instant.

After fully waking up, he turned around and saw Gale sitting beside him with a worried look in his eyes, staring at him.

"You need to rest, Malone. I'll go get Yingxin or Karak to keep watch for you."

"No, that's not necessary. I can handle it. That's the advantage of being young~"

Hearing this, Ma Long quickly held the other person's shoulder and smiled and patted his chest to show that he was fine.
He was not joking. With his current physical condition, he could withstand two or three days without rest. The sleepiness was simply due to excessive boredom, which caused his brain to go blank involuntarily.

In response, Gale blinked and said meaningfully:

"Is that so? But why do I feel like~you are hinting that everyone is getting older?"
