Chapter 51 Return Day, Hunting Time

The city of Regate is huge.

As a transportation hub for trade with the northern countries, relying on the geographical advantage of being connected to the upper jaw of the red dragon, it is an important export center of the Asura Kingdom. Villagers from the surrounding villages come to the city in groups by horse-drawn carriages to transport various crops and handicrafts day and night.

It is one of the epitomes of the prosperous commodity economy of the Kingdom of Asura.

Thanks to this, although it is only a border town of Rigate, the scale of Rigate City has exceeded that of the magic city of Sharia.

In the setting sun, Alan looked up at the tall city walls and couldn't help but sigh.

'In the original novel, this is one of the places where Asura passed through during the battle for the throne. It is larger than expected, about a quarter of the size of the capital.'

"Ai Allen!"

Alan lowered his head, pushed aside the ahoge on his face, and looked at Loki's upturned face.

I don’t know if it’s because of the afterglow of the setting sun, but her face looks red, like a ripe apple.

"It must have been a tiring journey. Do you want to rest for a night in Ligate City? You are such a fool. I just suddenly said I was a little hungry in the middle of last night, and you went out to kill two monsters and didn't even sleep when you came back. We were supposed to reach Ligate City tonight."

Loki's eyes were wandering, flickering left and right. Although she raised her head, she didn't look directly at Alan.

Allen smiled.

"No need, I'll return right away. I was lucky that I didn't encounter any thieves on the way."

Loki blinked and looked at Alan.

".Rush back overnight?"

"Yes, I rushed back overnight. It's been more than ten days. My uncle should be worried."

"This"

Alan looked at Lokixi who was shaking her head from side to side looking a little helpless, and couldn't help but reach out and flick the aho hair on her head, which caused Lokixi to roll her eyes and reach out to slap his hand away.

Cute.

It is worth mentioning that during the past ten days, the two of them were together almost every day, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, and their relationship quickly warmed up, without the vague courtesy and alienation they had before.

At present, they can communicate in a relaxed manner without worrying about etiquette. Even when Alan teases Loki after she makes rash moves from time to time, he does not attract too much of the sense of "superior airs" of an elder.

Generally speaking, it is easy for a single man and a single woman who are not familiar with each other's living habits and then suddenly get closer to each other to develop a 'disenchantment' mentality, but Allen did not do that. Instead, he felt that Roxy, the blue mother, was more real.

She puffs her cheeks in anger when she is teased;

If you eat barbecue in a hurry, you will get burned and your mouth will sag and you will cry while you stuff the meat into your mouth.

When he deliberately puts on airs as a teacher and is ruthlessly exposed by Alan, he becomes furious and incoherent;
When she needs to go to the toilet or take a shower, her face will be flushed and she will ignore Alan's words for a short period of time.
Every morning when she wakes up, she seems unable to open her eyes, and her hands are very skillfully tending to her two aqua blue braids.

Amidst the confusion of thoughts, too many moments emerged and fell in Alan's mind. Although these scenes were not quite the same, one thing was certain.

This is a "god" who has fallen into the mortal world and has a sense of worldly affairs. He is not a "character" that feels a bit paper-like when reading his own novels.

Thinking of this, Alan came back to his senses and waved his hand in front of Loki's face.

"Well, it's time to say goodbye again."

Luo Qixi was stunned, and after a moment of silence, she nodded and subconsciously raised her hand and waved.

".goodbye."

Then Alan slapped her hand and she looked up in surprise.

Alan was seen patting Loki's palms gently with small patting movements, smiling brightly.

"I'm not very good at saying goodbye, so I'll see you in the future~"

The palm stopped, Alan withdrew his hand and waved, then turned around. His pockets were bulging with food that Luo Qixi had left behind. "Don't worry about my food. After all, I have survived in the wild in the forest for a long time. Let's go~"

Loki looked at Allen's back, then lowered her head to look at the hand that was slapped by Allen.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast a halo of light between her fingers. She subconsciously shook hands, then the corners of her lips slowly curled up, and she looked up at Alan again.

But before she could say goodbye again, Alan had already walked into the crowd. He seemed to notice Loki's gaze and did not look back, but just waved again.

The figure soon disappeared from Luo Qixi's sight. She blinked, a hint of belated confusion in her eyes.

"Why does it feel like Alan is in too much of a hurry? It's like..."

"It's like there's something urgent to deal with."

In the middle of the night, the mountain breeze blew through the forest, blowing leaves onto the narrow road beside the forest, with the moonlight shining on them.

Someone stepped on Yuebai and crushed it, then stopped.

Alan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and looked at the fence beside the road.

There was a deep scratch on the fence, and black carbon ash embers were faintly visible on the side, sputtering and spreading into the grass beside the road.

It was created by Loki's water ball after they came back from hunting monsters last night and made a fire to barbecue. It was three hours since they separated in the evening, and Alan had been running for almost midnight.

He returned to the place where he hunted monsters.

Alan turned his gaze from the remnants of the campfire on the ground to the forest beside him.

"Finally. Here we are."

The sticky darkness in the cracks between the trees drifted in the wind, and the white moonlight sprinkled on the road, but could not shine into the shade of the forest trees.

Alan stroked his sword and stepped into the woods.

The moment he walked into the woods, the moonlight dimmed. The fallen leaves under his feet were constantly blown down by the mountain wind, accumulating into a thin leaf carpet. The trees on both sides seemed like mirror images, making it difficult to find the direction.

Alan's fighting spirit had already surged through his limbs and bones. With his five senses amplified, Alan's nostrils twitched from time to time. Finally, after passing a tree, his eyes lit up.

In his sight, there was a corner of the ground where the fallen leaves were obviously thicker than in other places. Under the layers of leaves, there seemed to be something white and vague.

A gust of wind blew, and the moonlight broke away from the dense cluster of leaves and fell on the carpet of leaves on the ground.

The human arm sticking out of it was clearly photographed.

Alan sneered and kicked away the fallen leaves, and the faces of three middle-aged men with ferocious expressions suddenly appeared under the tree.

They glared at Alan, wishing they could tear his tendons and bones apart.

Watching this scene, Alan squatted down, squinting his eyes with a sarcastic look on his face.

"Tsk, if Rudy were here, he would definitely be scared by you. You guys are really miserable. Until now, no companions have come to find you? You are a failure in life and you are doing a terrible job."

The three of them still had their eyes wide open, not saying a word.

Alan smiled and held his chin with a look of pity on his face.

"I was in such a hurry yesterday that I didn't have time to interrogate you. Where in the mud pit are you, a bunch of annoying maned wolves?"

The doubtful and inquiring words that sounded like a soliloquy floated in the air and were blown away by the wind in front of the three people's faces.

No one answered.

Because corpses can't speak.
