Eva didn't believe it. She ran to the window and took a look. It was indeed a small town by the sea. Eva asked puzzledly:
"Aren't you going to take me to the Shadow Kingdom? Why are you here?"
Wood said casually:
"When did I say I would take you to the Kingdom of Shadows? I remember I said I would take you around the Continent of Divine Grace."
Eva came close to Wood, stared straight at Wood with a pair of electrified eyes, and asked after a long time:
"What else do you have in mind?"
Wood asked puzzledly:
"What back-up plan?"
Eva said solemnly:
"Don't act stupid! You know what I'm talking about!"
Wood smiled and said:
"I just want to take you around and give the Magic Empire some time."
Eva didn't believe it and said angrily:
"You're lying. I've told you that Gangze's new commander is very powerful. If you don't care about this, then you must have a back-up plan."
Wood said defensively:
"Who says I don't care? The Dick you mentioned in Gangze is indeed a talent, but I'm more worried about you. As long as you stay by my side, I don't care what Gangze does!"
Eva was stunned. At this moment, the door was opened, and an old lady came in with some grilled fish. She looked at the two of them with a smile and said:
"The young couple are quarreling! Stop quarreling and eat something. You too. A grown man can't leave his wife alone."
The aunt put down the grilled fish as she spoke. Eva was still angry just now, but after hearing what the aunt said, Eva's face suddenly turned red. After the aunt left, Eva asked in a low voice:
"Well, why did she say we are husband and wife?"
Wood handed Eva a grilled fish and said:
"In order to avoid being chased by your family, I told them that you are my wife. We are two minor nobles from opposing families. We eloped because we fell in love but our families opposed it."
After listening to Wood's words, Eva's face turned even redder, but what she was thinking was, how great it would be if what Wood said was true!
Eva looked at the grilled fish in her hand, but she had thousands of feelings in her heart. Was she worthy of being with Wood? Would Wood dislike her? If Wood knew about that, would he give up protecting Palu?
While Eva was thinking, Wood said:
"Eat it quickly! It will be cold in a while!"
Eva reacted, shook her head and threw her thoughts away, and took a bite of the grilled fish in her hand. The taste was really not that good. Eva only took a few bites and put it down. She really couldn't eat this kind of food.
.
Seeing that Eva stopped eating, Wood said:
"Let's go fishing later! I'll grill the fish for you. It will taste better than this."
Eva looked at Wood and nodded silently. Now Eva thought about it, let the disputes on the mainland slow down for a few days! It was just a good time to relax with Wood. Since Wood didn't care about it, why should she be so serious about it?
After Wood finished eating, he walked out of the room, and Eva hurriedly followed. Now it was not Wood who was holding Eva hostage. No matter how you looked at the scene, it was Eva who followed Wood voluntarily.
There was still a distance between the small village and the seaside. The two of them walked quietly one after the other. Wood had never seen the sea in this world. This was the first time, but it was the same everywhere, the sea was endless.
Walking to the beach, there were several fishing boats parked on the beach. Wood pulled Eva onto one, and then Wood paddled the fishing boat toward the sea.
The two of them were very quiet, especially Eva. There is also a sea in the Ice and Snow Empire, so Eva has seen the sea, but going to sea with Wood today made Eva feel very different.
The waves beat against the hull of the boat, and the boat just floated in the sea. Wood picked up a fishing rod on the boat and started fishing. It was very quiet and the two of them maintained a tacit understanding. Wood broke the silence, looked into the depths of the sea and said:
"I know there is a small island ahead. There are some treasures on the island. Can I take you to hunt for treasures?"
Hearing what Wood said, Eva didn't believe it at all. How could there be any treasures in this God's Grace Continent, especially in the Nine Nether Sea? This sea was dominated by sea monsters. To hunt for treasures was almost like seeking death. But since Wood was like this
Said, Eva could only follow along and said:
"Whatever, if I encounter a sea monster, just protect me!"
Wood smiled and said:
"My beautiful eldest lady, you are an envoy of God! I can't even match your abilities, why do you still need me to protect you?"
Eva pouted and said:
"You are my knight, should you protect me?"
Wood smiled slightly, but at this time a fish was hooked. Wood hurriedly caught the fish, then dealt with it and continued fishing.
Eva had never seen fishing before, and seeing Wood fishing so easily, Eva became interested and moved closer to Wood to watch his every move.
In fact, neither Wood nor Eva knew that a man's charm can only be shown when he is focused, and Wood himself is handsome. Eva was immediately fascinated by Wood's concentration.
In the afternoon, the boat was filled with hundreds of fish. When there were enough fish, Wood rowed back. The two returned to the small house where they had stayed before. Wood lit a fire and started grilling fish. Eva still sat next to Wood.
Watch him grill the fish.
Wood's barbecue skills were trained by the dwarves. After a while, the aroma spread far away. Eva didn't feel anything before, but after the aroma spread, Eva felt more and more hungry.
Even my own stomach started to growl.
Wood smiled evilly and handed a piece of grilled fish to Eva, and Eva took it politely. After Eva took the first bite, she couldn't stop anymore. Wood felt very satisfied when he saw Eva eating.
At least we can't let this girl go hungry.
After Eva finished eating the fourth fish, Eva patted her belly happily and said:
“This is the best grilled fish I’ve ever had, so delicious!”
Wood smiled and said:
"Do you want more?"
Eva shook her head. Wood had been baking it for her just now, but Wood himself didn't even eat it, so Eva decided not to eat it. In fact, she really couldn't eat it anymore.
Wood looked at it and saw that it was still early and said:
"We'll have a night's rest, go shopping for some things later, and set out to sea tomorrow morning!"
Eva was stunned and said:
"You really plan to go to the Sea of Nine Netherworlds! What should you do if you encounter an aquatic monster? Are we just going to deal with it?"
Wood smiled and said:
"I thought I was the only one to deal with it. Aren't you the princess I want to protect?"
Eva smiled and stopped Wood's arm and said:
"This is what you said, no matter what the situation, you must protect me."
Wood did not break away from Eva's pull, and the two of them walked towards the inside of the town. This town is not very big, because it is close to the seaside, and the things sold in the town are basically related to the sea. The two of them really look like little
Like husband and wife, they kiss and go shopping on the street. Because the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, these two are very eye-catching.
The folk customs of this town are very simple, and of course they have seen little of the world. They only know that Wood and Eva are nobles, rich, and have extraordinary status. Therefore, what happens to these two people is magical to the people in this town, especially them.
As long as a man reaches out to buy something, it will disappear. This is something that civilians have never seen before.
The villagers have not seen it, but it does not mean that others have not seen it. There is a lazy warrior in this village. After he saw Wood and Eva, greed arose in his heart, but the warrior knew that Eva was wearing magic.
He was wearing a teacher's robe, and Wood was wearing a warrior's armor. Both of them were cultivators, but this warrior was extraordinary. In the evening of that day, he ran out of the town to find reinforcements.
Wood and Eva came back after buying a lot of things. They were talking and laughing. No one could tell that these two were mortal enemies.
But when the two entered the house, they looked a little embarrassed. After all, it was easy to talk during the day, but what to do at night? This small house only had one room, and the place was not big. It was pretty good with a bed and a table.
.
Wood pointed to the bed and said:
"Well, you can rest! I want to practice meditation!"
Seeing Wood turning around to leave, Eva hurriedly shouted:
"Hey! Well...well, do you really want to take me to the Sea of Nine Netherworlds tomorrow?"
Eva has asked this topic countless times, and Wood has answered it countless times. However, because Eva was in a hurry to speak, she didn't think about what she was going to say, so she could only repeat this sentence again.
Wood did not look back, he responded and went out. Wood did not want to leave in a hurry, but he sensed murderous intent outside the village. Now Wood could not be careless, he decided to go and see the situation first.
