Gululu——

In the lava spring, the scorpion's tail raised slightly, and then slowly sank. Together with the monster's entire body, it has finally sunk completely into the fiery red magma. It seems that it is no longer possible.

He won't wake up either.

Jelly tilted her head and looked not far away, almost in a semi-conscious manner.

Over there, a carriage drove slowly, the door opened, and the respectable woman got out of the car wearing a sun-shading cloak. After looking at the gel again, she winked at the other people on both sides.

At that moment, Jieli felt as if his body had been lifted up and sent into the cool carriage. But Jieli never knew what happened after that. Instead, he tilted his head and fainted completely.

————

"Wake up, wake up! Huh... great, you finally woke up."

I don’t know how long it took, but Jelly finally woke up slowly.

When he opened his eyes, the first face he saw was that of Mayor Garcia.

After seeing the happy and relaxed expression on the mayor's face, Jelly couldn't help but feel a little moved for a moment.

"Mayor...Mr...."

Faced with Jelly's respect, Ariel waved her hand, took a kettle from the side and handed it over, saying: "Stop talking so much, drink two sips of water first. In order to save you just now, Duck opened your mouth and put it in

Pour water, but don’t dare to pour too much. Drink more and try to replenish water.”

As soon as he saw the kettle next to him, Jelly finally regained his consciousness a little. He turned his head and saw that Duck was squatting next to him, looking at him with great concern on his face.

For a moment, the grievances that had been in my heart for more than two months seemed to burst out at this moment. Jelly pursed her lips and her eyes were red, but she couldn't cry because they were dry, so she could only stretch out her hand to grab Aili.

The kettle in my hand.

However, when he subconsciously reached out his hand, he found that his right arm was still empty.

He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at his right shoulder.

The shoulder has been bandaged, and it seems that there is no blood... but the feeling of emptiness still makes Jie, who has now regained some consciousness, bewildered on the spot.

"…………"

Seeing this empty right arm, Jelly recalled that what just happened in the desert was not false. Everything was real and had been experienced by him personally.

After a moment of silence, he silently lowered his right shoulder, stretched out his left hand, and took the kettle from Ariel's hand. The lid of the kettle was now open, and he took a few sips.

After drinking the water, the gel's complexion slowly recovered.

He raised his head and looked outside the carriage, only to see that the sky had turned black, and then asked: "Mr. Mayor...how long have I been unconscious?"

Cream on the side chuckled and said: "It's not too long and it's not too late. It's a little more than four hours in total. How about it? Are you feeling better now? I still have some food here. You can eat some and I'll break it up for you.

Put it in a basin and soak it in water until it becomes soft, and you can eat it."

At that moment, Cream handed over a plate of batter that had just been softened.

After struggling for so long, now that I saw this bowl of batter and jelly, I realized that I was indeed very hungry. For Cream's concern, he sniffed, put down the kettle, and came to take the small plate.

Obviously, Cream is very attentive. The batter in the plate is soaked just right. He can just lift it up and eat it like drinking water. He doesn't have to think about holding the food with two hands, let alone using his tongue without dignity.

Go and grab it.

Although no one around him said it, Jelly immediately understood when he ate these foods. A kind of excitement broke into his heart involuntarily, and he ate the batter in three times with gratitude.

"President...how did you...come here? I originally thought...you wouldn't come until at least this time..."

After eating and drinking, Gel finally regained some strength and started asking.

Seeing that his condition was beginning to improve significantly, Ariel breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly——

"Do you really think I'm a fool? Although I don't know why you left without saying goodbye, the very unique gap between you and Frange during the return journey will make me more insensitive no matter how slow I am.

You can feel it a little bit."

"Hahaha, that's true."

Egg sitting next to him now also smiled slightly and said——

"The president also discussed it with us several times, but since you refused to say anything, and based on the principle that if you don't want to, we won't force it, we didn't make things difficult for you. Then, you left without saying goodbye.

At that time, the president was extremely anxious."

Jelly was stunned for a moment and turned to Ariel.

At this time, Duck next to him also came up to help Jelly's body, so that he could lean on the pillow without continuing to lie like this. While doing so, he said -

"The president felt that we were treating you badly and you didn't want to act with us anymore, so he left without saying goodbye. At that time, to be honest, I was a little sad...but the president was really frustrated.

."

Ariel smiled and did not refute. After Jelly's eyes turned back to her face again, she continued to smile: "Originally, I really thought you were leaving. But when we set off during the day,

After walking out for half a day, Frange also said he wanted to leave. At that time, I felt that something was wrong."

Jelly exhaled slightly and said: "I didn't expect...he was so impatient...but it's thanks to him that he couldn't wait any longer..."

Ariel smiled and continued: "Yes, at that time I felt that something was wrong, so I led my members to separate from the main force and came here to find you immediately. It was lucky that I finally managed to save you at the last moment.

You saved it."

After saying this, Ariel's face gradually began to shrink from that smile, and became more and more serious, and said slowly——

"Now, can you tell me about it? Tell me about what happened to you? What is the lava monster we just killed? If you are willing, are you willing to leave it as it is without any traces of it?

Tell me without the slightest reservation?"

After such an experience of escaping from death, Jelly's mood finally changed greatly.

He drank water and ate food, his eyes were red. After a while, he finally opened his mouth and told all the things he had encountered, all the thoughts in his heart, the thoughts about himself as a betrayer, and the thoughts of dying.

The experience of meeting Frange, a terrible murderer, and all the battles of wits and courage between the two sides up to now are all described in a straightforward way.

Listening to such a narrative, at first, everyone's faces were just listening with a feeling of listening to a story. But gradually, everyone's faces began to become serious, and everyone was completely lost for this.

The boy who possessed magical power was able to resist this terrifying murderous demon on his own, and expressed admiration.

Although during this process, Jelly kept telling that he had heard Ariel's teachings on weekdays, saying that he must never compromise and must resist! And he must resist with wisdom in order to gain the last chance of survival.

But after listening to the whole process, Ariel couldn't help but murmur in her heart. Just imagine if she faced such an environment, could she be as successful as this child? In other words, could she do it herself?

Is it better? Or... I will die soon without a burial place?

"Now...that guy is dead...Mr. Mayor, although I killed someone...and I killed a bodyguard of the Huntsman within the territory of the Huntsman Empire...but, I have no regrets. For me

I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you. If you need it, you can hand me over to the Hunter soldiers who will arrive at any time. Just say... I killed the person and it has nothing to do with you at all.

"

Seeing this young man lowering his head now with a determined look on his face, Mochi tilted his head and thought for a moment, then reached out and gently rubbed his head.

Feeling the touch, Jelly raised her head slightly, and saw Machi, a vampire girl, rubbing herself. She couldn't help but be a little surprised, and whispered: "Sister Machi...?"

"you are very brave."

Mochi continued to rub it, and then slowly withdrew her hand——

"We, the Night Clan, admire brave people."

After receiving care, a shy smile appeared on Jelly's face.

At this time, Cream turned her head and looked at Ariel next to her, with a questioning look in her eyes.

But Ariel thought for a moment and then said: "Jiji, you killed the people of the Orion Empire because they attacked you first, but essentially, what you saw with your own eyes was

A scene of a Hunter constellation guard executing a traitor. As a person from Blue Bay, this Hunter constellation guard has the responsibility to ensure that what you witness will not become a source of internal strife in this country. In this case

, this guard officer died because of your design, no matter what, you can't escape responsibility."

Jelly was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said nothing.

"But if you are a member of the Mermaid Song Guild, then the problem is different."

At that moment, Jiji felt that he had heard wrongly. He raised his head and looked at the mayor with a pair of slightly surprised eyes.

At the same time, other guild members on both sides looked at the guild leader with various eyes, waiting for her explanation.

"If you are a member of the Mermaid Song Guild, and the Mermaid Song Guild is responsible for the safety of the eldest princess's property, and the guards of the Hunter are chasing members of the Mermaid Song, then it is tantamount to threatening the eldest princess's life safety.

Therefore, as the president of Mermaid Song, I have the responsibility to protect my guild members from getting into trouble."

At that moment, Ariel stretched out her hand towards the gel, with an expectant smile on her face——

"So, are you willing to join my Mermaid Song Guild and become one of us?"

After hearing this, Ji Lian put his hands behind his head, as if he had expected it. Mochi silently looked up and down at Jelly, her eyes falling on his broken right arm.

Egg gently plucked the strings. Is it a blessing? Or does it not matter? But Duck, who was squatting next to him, was slightly stunned. Then he looked at Ariel with a slightly uneasy look, and at the same time lowered his head.

, looked at his palms.

"me?"

Obviously, Jiji didn't expect that things would turn out like this. His face was full of disbelief and even a little nervous——

"Mayor Garcia...you...I...did you hear me correctly? You invited me to join...your guild? The Mermaid Song Guild?"
To be continued...
