The sky was getting darker and darker, and the forest was pitch black in the twilight, with an eerie and terrifying feeling.

Miss White Wolf became nervous. Before, she was not afraid of the forest at all, but now that her abilities have been greatly weakened, she can't help but be cautious about everything she sees, as if she had become timid.

She tightly grasped Miss Guardian Knight's hand, and she found that the title of "Guardian Knight" which was originally a joke was now becoming more and more real.

Chapter 2024 Strong and Weak 02-27-12 00:02:

Not knowing if there was really something wrong with the map, Qin Liu and Bai Lang searched for an hour but couldn't find any trace of water.

Fortunately, it was not a complete failure. During the search, they found some berries, which solved the urgent problem. However, the number of berries was too small, so they could only be used as an emergency measure.

The two had some disagreements about the next course of action.

Miss Qin Liu wanted to set up camp directly and leave all the berries to White Wolf to help him overcome the water shortage crisis, but Miss White Wolf insisted on continuing to look for water despite her physical fatigue.

For Qin Liu, it was no problem to walk for another night. What she was worried about was that Miss Bailang could not hold on. However, the latter's attitude was too firm, and she could not persuade Miss Bailang.

The two men had to move at night and keep going until the White Wolf could no longer move. If they still had no harvest by then, they would set up camp and rest.

Time passes slowly as we move forward.

Before we knew it, the night sky was filled with dark clouds, blocking the already faint light of the stars and the moon, and the forest became completely dark.

For the white wolf with good night vision, the darkness in front of him would not have much impact on his actions, but it was different for Miss Qin Liu.

The latter's eyes went dark, and his style of moving forward became indecisive, which made Miss White Wolf slowly realize that something was wrong.

"Qin Liu, what's wrong with you?"

"I can't see clearly. It's too dark."

Miss Qin Liu was a little sad. As a guide, her performance seemed too poor.

"Can't see clearly?"

Miss White Wolf was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood the reason. Unexpectedly, she found herself somewhat happy. At least this showed that she was better than the Vaifans in some aspects.

"Don't be impatient, wait a moment."

Miss Bailang excitedly opened her luggage bag, took out a mini flashlight from it, and then fixed it on Miss Qinliu's shoulder.

The lights came on, illuminating a very limited space, enough for Miss Qin Liu to move forward.

Miss Qin Liu looked at the mini flashlight on her shoulder curiously and asked, "Could it have suddenly run out of power?"

"Don't worry, there's absolutely no chance of power outage."

"Will it last long?"

"I installed an energy nuclear battery made of ice stone. Although it is very small, it can still make it light up... well, a hundred hours should be no problem."

"Amazing."

"Of course, this is a product of Yuanneng Technology."

After that, Miss White Wolf asked in confusion: "The Ice Stone Energy Core was developed by Ice Stone Technology. It took a lot of effort to make it. Haven't you used it before? Longmen must have some for sale."

Miss Qin Liu's expression tensed, fearing that Miss Bai Lang would infer that she didn't care about the ice stone, and hurriedly explained: "No, I, I know, I am concerned about it, mainly because... I am busy training every day in Rhodes Island and have hardly gone out, so..."

"No wonder, Qin Liu, you should go out more often. Training every day is so boring."

I just want to catch up with you as soon as possible, Miss Qin Liu thought secretly, but now she is capable enough to catch up with and surpass Miss Bailang even without training.

Miss Qin Liu didn't know whether to be happy or sad that her long-cherished dream had come true in this way.

"Because training opportunities are rare." She said with a smile, "There are many elite operators in Rhodes Island who can directly guide me."

"You can also come to me. I am also an elite operator."

"May I?"

Miss Qin Liu turned her head in surprise, and the light of the flashlight on her shoulder also turned. Qin Liu turned sideways to avoid the light source shining directly into Miss Bailang's eyes.

Miss White Wolf suddenly realized that she was no longer an elite operator.

In the past, she did have the qualifications to instruct Qin Liu, but now, she has lost her Originium skills and has no idea when her physical abilities will recover, so it seems meaningless to say these things.

She avoided Miss Qin Liu's eager gaze and looked at the dark forest with a bit of loneliness.

"Big, probably, but I think Rhodes Island is more suitable for you."

Miss Qin Liu said stubbornly.

"But I want you to teach me."

"I... probably can't."

"That's not true. I've seen your ability. You are at the top level among any graduates of the Royal Guard Academy."

"That was all in the past." Miss White Wolf whispered. If she were in the Guard Academy with her current strength, she would probably be laughed at.

Although she was prepared for the reduction in her own strength, and although she had told the doctor with a smile that it didn't matter, was it really true? When the terrible gap appeared before her, how could she completely ignore it and laugh it off?

In the past, she could lead Amiya's entire team through the heavily blocked and smoke-filled Chernobyl Boulevard on her own.

But now, is she comparable to any rookie operator in Rhodes Island?

Can he compare with the most unknown soldier in the army?

The reality was laid bare before her eyes. She had become so useless that she needed an escort to go to Casimir. Any wild beast in the forest could take her life.

She looks like a pretentious noble lady who can't even walk lightly. She needs someone to carry her on his back, take care of her and worry about her. Isn't she a burden to Miss Qin Liu everywhere along the way?

"Miss Olicia? Miss White Wolf?" Qin Liu asked cautiously and tentatively, "You, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine. At least my ears are still OK... Anyway, let's continue looking for water."

It is impossible that nothing is wrong. The other party's expression when he was distracted and his calm and lonely tone have revealed a lot of things. Miss Qin Liu is not stupid at all and vaguely guessed where the problem lies.

In fact, the doctor once told her that Miss White Wolf had lost her Originium skills, and her various abilities had been reduced to a level far inferior to that of ordinary people. Although she seemed optimistic on the surface, it was impossible to be sure what she was thinking in her heart.

Was it really what she mentioned that made the other person sad?

That's terrible.

She was clearly a guardian knight, and had clearly promised not to make Miss White Wolf sad, so how could she ignore even such a thing? Miss White Wolf, despite her physical exhaustion, insisted on not letting her help, and insisted on moving at night. There must be a reason for all this, right?

Miss Qin Liu felt extremely guilty. She bit her lip and suddenly stopped. Miss Bailang was unable to dodge and almost bumped into the luggage bag she was carrying.

"Why did you stop?"

"Miss Olicia, I have something to tell you."

"What, what are you talking about, so formal."

"I believe that Miss Olicia will recover. Even without the Originium technique, Miss Olicia is the most powerful swordsman I have ever seen. I was 100% sure of this when I first saw you take action in Londinium."

"Qin Liu, why...are you suddenly..."

"Miss Olicia, you may not know that after you left Londinium, I trained like crazy. A few months ago, I arrived at the Rhodes Island main ship and went to the training ground every day. I was clearly near Longmen City, but I had never been to Longmen."

"It's strange, isn't it? I'll tell you why, because I've been watching Miss Olicia and following your footsteps. Without you, I wouldn't have done it. Miss Olicia once said that I was like an unwavering flag, but for me, Miss Olicia is the flag in my heart."

"Now Miss Olicia is injured, but she still carries the burden of Ursus and goes to Casimir despite all the hardships. In my opinion, although Miss Olicia is physically weak, she is actually stronger than ever."

Chapter 2024 Dark Fairy Tale 02-28-12 00:03:

Ms. Qin Liu's words were extremely sincere.

Miss White Wolf stared blankly at Qin Liu and listened without saying a word. The more the latter spoke, the more at a loss she felt.

When Miss Qin Liu's gaze returned to her, she looked away as if she had been electrocuted, scratched the back of her head, and laughed to hide her panic.

"Qin Liu, you... you are really talking to yourself. Haha, I don't understand what you are saying. What flag? Oh, right, you are the flag bearer. Oh, I understand, I understand. You are a very good flag bearer."

Miss Qin Liu didn't say anything, but stared at Miss Bailang's eyes until the latter's cheeks turned red. Then she seemed to have confirmed something and breathed a sigh of relief.

She had intended to change the subject, but the other party's panicked look inexplicably revealed a kind of attraction that made her want to hold on tight.

It seemed like holding on too tightly. After all, Miss Qin Liu's principle was not to make Bai Lang sad, so she learned a little skill called "teasing" without any instruction.

She smiled and asked, "Do you really understand? But that's not what I meant."

“Eh… Really?”

Miss White Wolf opened her mouth and widened her eyes, looking extremely shocked. Then she stretched out her index finger and touched her lips in confusion.

"What does that mean? It's so profound that I can't think of enough. How about we put it aside for now and discuss it later?"

This is just playing dumb, Miss Qin Liu smiled secretly in her heart.

Miss White Wolf's pretending to be stupid looks very interesting, and it feels very natural. In addition, the other party's tone is soft and carries a strong sense of curiosity, which is perfect for pretending to be stupid.

However, the more Miss White Wolf acted like this, the more Qin Liu felt itchy inside. She now just wanted to find a way to expose her.

"It's okay. If you can't figure it out, I'll tell you. Okay?"

"It's too much trouble for you. I don't like to trouble others."

"I am your guardian knight. Given our relationship, it is not a big deal to explain."

"Well, even so, you still have to open the way and move forward. It's very busy."

"It doesn't matter if we're talking while we're walking. It's totally fine."

Miss Bailang was a little anxious. In this little debate, she was not the one who was right, so she couldn't do anything to Miss Qinliu.

Her heart was like an ant on a hot pan, crawling around anxiously. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and a sly smile flashed across the corner of her lips.

She did not answer Qin Liu's words, but pricked up her ears attentively. When Miss Qin Liu found that there was no response and turned around to look, she suddenly slapped her forehead and spoke loudly.

"Hey, I think I heard a sound, the water source is not far away!"

This is an important matter, so Miss Qin Liu put away her teasing thoughts and asked hurriedly.

"Where, where?"

"It seems to be, um, north. Right, just keep going forward."

So, Miss Qin Liu pulled the white wolf and walked forward quickly and hurriedly. After about five minutes, the two had walked nearly one kilometer.

Miss Qin Liu couldn't help but ask.

"How far is it?"

"We should be there soon, just keep walking forward."

Another five minutes later.

"Not here yet?"

"I don't know, maybe soon."

Five minutes later, Miss Qin Liu put her hands on her hips and glared at Miss Rupert.

"White Wolf, tell me honestly, did you hear it?"

"I heard it, really." Miss White Wolf avoided Qin Liu's gaze, "But maybe I heard it wrongly. The sound of wind blowing through leaves is also rustling, similar to the sound of water..."

Miss Qin Liu stared at the white wolf for a while and then burst out laughing.

"Hey, Miss White Wolf, did you mishear on purpose?"

"How could this happen?" Miss White Wolf stammered, "Well, mistakes are inevitable."

"Okay, I understand."

"What do you understand?"

"Miss White Wolf is so cunning, like a fox."

"Nothing."

"Hehe, whatever you want to explain, I just know it."

"You, you are unreasonable."

Miss White Wolf blushed and muttered a few words under her breath, but did not specifically say anything to defend herself. The reason was probably because she felt too guilty.

The night journey continued. Although the dark forest blocked their view into the distance, they could tell from the changes in the terrain that they were moving downward toward the valley in the forest.

This is absolutely good news. If there really is a mountain spring nearby, then the low valley is of course the place with the highest probability.

At the same time, the frequency of berries appearing on the ground has also increased, which not only means the proximity of water source, but also directly indicates that even if they cannot find water source, they can use berries to survive.
