Chapter 352 Where is the assassin?

Author: Half-wounded but not broken

Chapter 352 Where is the assassin?

The sun receded without hesitation, darkness enveloped the earth, and the moonlight of Su Lun, the goddess of the moon, slowly climbed up the branches.

Next to a dirt road surrounded by forests near the High Mountains, a bonfire was lit, which slightly dispelled some of the gloom of the night.

Pei Renli slapped a mosquito to death by the campfire. He set up the magic alarm first and then spread the insect repellent. With just a little effort, he was stung by the little bitch and three mosquitoes in a row came out.

Bag.

Cosette dug out dry food such as biscuits and dried meat from her backpack, peeled off the bark on the branches, threaded the dry food on top, and then put it next to the campfire to roast until soft.

But because she always muttered something like ‘a tribute to the great demon Nibru Chacha’, this very normal scene looked closer to an evil magic ritual...

Kemir was near the woods on the other side, collecting dry firewood for the whole night. Fortunately, it had not rained nearby in the past few days, so dry firewood was easier to find.

Anna looks the most idle, just standing on the side with a short bow, but in fact her job is the most important. Since there are not only monsters to guard against this time, even if she has the perception and vision of an elf, she must not take it lightly.

Watch out for every shadow in the darkness.

And Miaojie...

She sat beside the campfire with her cloak as a cushion. When she saw everyone busy, she said a little surprised:

"Is this time for rest? I happen to be tired too. When should we set off?"

Pei Renli was applying potion on his hands when he heard the words and said casually:

"Tomorrow morning at dawn."

"What!"

Miaojie suddenly jumped up, and Pei Renli reminded her:

"Keep your voice down, or you may attract the enemy."

Miaojie immediately squatted down again and hid her face in her knees. It seemed that she was frightened by the soldiers who stopped her when crossing the pass not long ago.

Although Pei Renli didn't like dealing with Miaojie's princess disease, he had to admit that she looked a bit cute like a small animal...

Lowering her voice, Miaojie whispered:

"Are you going to spend the night here? This is the wild!"

"Can't we spend the night in the wild?"

"But! But! Where will we sleep? There is nothing but dirt and rocks here, or do we want to live in the trees like monkeys?"

Pei Renli shook off the bed roll on his backpack and spread his hands:

"It's also on the backpack I prepared for you. Take it out and spread it out yourself."

Miaojie stared at the bedding that had been thrown away, looking like she couldn't believe it.

"This isn't a bed at all!"

"Of course it's not a bed, but at least it keeps your body off the ground."

Don't think that it's midsummer and it's okay to just lie down on the ground and take a nap. The land will take away too much of your physical strength and body temperature. Therefore, the most important thing when sleeping in the wild is to separate yourself from the ground. This is the so-called body.

It’s better to cover three layers than to lay one layer underneath.

"But what shall we eat?"

Pei Renli pointed to the soft dry food being roasted by the campfire.

Miaojie was dumbfounded. She always thought it was Cosette performing some ritual, and she didn't realize that it was actually for people to eat.

"Pre-dinner drinks, appetizer soup, dessert after the meal..."

"None of them. If you want to eat it, you can try the leaves behind you. There are perilla in them that you can eat."

"At least there should be a place to bathe! I sweated a lot today, and what should I do if I need to go to the toilet?"

"There is no place for you to take a bath, as for the toilet."

Pei Renli raised his chin and pointed to the woods behind Miaojie.

As for Miaojie herself, she had an expression of shock to her outlook on life, and she could feel her whole body exuding an aura of confusion.

They are both princesses, but Sally and Miaojie are completely different types.

The former has admired adventurers since she was a child and yearned for the life of an adventurer. She even camped in the palace garden for a month. When her father, Brevo 13, found out about this, not only was he not scolded, but he was

King Wo 13 naturally accompanied his daughter to camp in the garden, recalling the glorious years when he was young and adventurous. This made the palace etiquette teacher so angry that he wrote a letter of resignation on the spot.

Miaojie is a typical golden child. She has a limited number of times to go out, let alone camping. The education she received from an early age told her that as a royal, she must always maintain elegance and nobility. This is her responsibility and obligation.

Even though they were being hunted all the way and it was impossible to live like they did in the palace, Miaojie's guards still tried their best to meet all the needs of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

——They are so difficult.

But Pei Renli would not spoil her.

At this moment, Miaojie suddenly thought of something, as if grasping at a life-saving straw:

"I heard that a mage can summon a mansion, right?"

"I don't know that kind of magic."

Miaojie was talking about 'Leo Meng's Mage's Mansion Technique'. You only need to prepare an ivory carving model in advance to summon the entrance to a mansion in a demiplane.

But Pei Renli really doesn't know how to do it. This spell is B-level. He only knows Leomen's hut. Its biggest role is that he can go in and take shelter when it rains in the middle of the night.

There is a more advanced one, Leomeng's Refuge, and Perrenli doesn't know that either.

After all, the first-year students of the Adventurer School will not go far away, so there is no need for Pei Renli to study these spells now to make himself comfortable in the wild. This time it was just a sudden accident.

"Then we can go back now to the hotel near the pass. They should not be closed yet."

"Go back? Do you want to be recognized and hunted down?"

The reason why they walked forward immediately after leaving the pass instead of finding a place to stay in a hotel was because they were afraid of being recognized.

There must be a reason for the sudden tightening of inspections at the pass. No matter whether you are looking for Miaojie or not, you cannot take the risk of being discovered.

Now Miaojie gave up completely, her eyes were blank and she looked like she had been spoiled.

It seems that for her, the current living conditions are simply unimaginably bad.

After all, she was a princess who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. The toilets she uses may be inlaid with gems.

Pei Renli didn't care about Miao Jie's disappointment. He pinched a piece of dough beside the campfire and felt that it must have softened. He picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth, saying vaguely:

"Eat quickly, go to bed immediately after eating, and get up early tomorrow."

Cosette graciously handed Miaojie a piece of soft roasted meat jerky:

"Kukukukukuku...eat, this is what the great demon Nibru Chacha has given to you."

Facing the princess, I am as good as ever...

Miaojie didn't even pay attention to what Cosette said, she just took the dried meat and took a bite.

As expected, his brows immediately wrinkled.

This kind of jerky is not a snack jerky. In order to extend the shelf life, it is marinated with a lot of coarse salt, and obviously no seasonings are added except salt.

In addition, in this era, the refining technology of salt is still very primitive, so it tastes bitter and salty, and there is no meaty taste at all.

"Are you sure this is food? You really didn't mess with me?"

"I'm not that bored."

Miaojie made a bitter look on her face, swallowed the dried meat in three times, then turned on the kettle and drank most of the water.

Although this girl is full of princess disease, at least she knows not to waste food.

Princess disease is caused by the living environment, and not wasting food is a matter of principle. It seems that this princess is not completely hopeless, which makes Pei Renli suddenly feel a little better.

"I would rather face your face than eat this kind of jerky."

——The favorability level is instantly reset to zero.

Pei Renli broke the dough into pieces and stuffed it into his mouth, and counterattacked in a neither salty nor bland way:

"But now you have to face me and eat dried meat."

"Uh...!"

Miaojie couldn't find any words to refute, so she had to make a whimpering sound similar to that of a small animal. Then she stopped talking to Pei Renli and said to Cosette:

"What is the demon Nibru you just mentioned?"

"Oh? Is Your Highness the Princess also interested in the great demon Nibru Chacha? Very good, let me tell you."

Miao Jie, who felt that she was not very experienced in the world, might be fooled by Cosette's secondary disease, but Pei Renli was too lazy to care about this. Being frightened by Cosette could at least calm her ears.

At this time, Kemir finally collected enough fuel for the whole night. He put the firewood aside, squatted next to Pei Renli and whispered:

"I feel something is wrong. Can our little trick be hidden from the assassins who are chasing us?"
