Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

After Xie Wei's wounds scabbed over, the winter in the Far North Territory was almost half over. Roland rushed to make a complete set of magic props for Xie Wei. Because Xie Wei didn't like waist chains and leg rings, he recombined the materials of the waist chains and leg rings and made a dagger for Xie Wei.

When not in use, you can hang it around your waist as an accessory. When in use, draw out the jeweled scabbard and touch a specific place to activate the magic crystal core on the hilt. Then you can attack the specific target, and the damage is a hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary dagger.

When swung, the sword will produce flames and can also be used as a flint.

When the dagger was delivered, Xie Wei thought that it would be kept by Thrall, but Thrall just checked the dagger and gave it to him after confirming that it had no other hidden functions.

He also taught him carefully how to use it, and reminded him to use it with caution and not to hurt himself.

Xie Wei liked this beautiful dagger very much and played with it for a long time. Seeing that he liked it, Sal brought his own sword to show him.

However, his sword was too big and heavy. When Xie Wei held it in his hand, he only glanced at it for a few seconds and had no intention of using it.

Thrall was somewhat dissatisfied with this, but he looked at his heavy silver-black sword covered with scars, and then at Little Rose's beautiful white and slender hands.

Then he silently put away his sword.

Xie Wei's attention was attracted by other things and he didn't notice anything unusual about the man.

Along with the dagger, there were also some unused crystal cores and crystal stones. After Roland sorted out the materials given by Thrall, there were still a lot left, so he polished the unused ones into shiny round beads and gave them to Xie Wei to play with. Since most of the materials given by Thrall were of fire attribute, he also specially grabbed some magic crystal stones of other colors and mixed them in.

After getting this pile of round beads, Xie Wei couldn't help but pull Sal to play marbles. After all, his entertainment activities were very limited, so he played marbles to relieve boredom.

He also grabbed some and put them in his pocket so he could take them out and play with them at any time.

But for some reason, there were always fewer magic crystal stone marbles that he put into his clothes. Xie Wei thought they had fallen somewhere and didn't pay much attention to it.

He didn't notice that what was missing each time were the gold or green magic crystal marbles.

The magic props were ready and their injuries were almost healed. After everything was ready, it was time for them to leave the post station and head to Good City.

Xie Wei made a lot of candies the day before he left. The next morning, he handed the candies sealed in a ceramic jar to Sal and said softly, "Sal, can you help me deliver this to Luo Lan?"

"Why..." The man was a little unhappy holding the candy jar, but before he could finish his words, a piece of candy with a strong milky flavor was stuffed into his mouth.

"I accepted Roland's gift so I need to give something in return. It's a courtesy. Besides, we're leaving soon and may not see each other again, right? I'll just give him one can and the rest will be yours, okay?" Xie Wei pointed to the dozen or so cans of candy left on the table. These were made by Sal and him yesterday. Sal contributed the most, so it was reasonable for him to have more.

Looking at the candy that belonged to him on the table, and then looking at the pitiful jar of candy in his hand, Sal's displeasure was replaced by a subtle sense of superiority, but he was still a little reluctant.

But when Xie Wei looked at him with those beautiful eyes and asked him gently if he was okay, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only utter one word.

"it is good."

After saying that, he quickly left the room holding the sugar jar. He had to deliver the things quickly to avoid regretting it.

Looking at Sal's back, Xie Wei pursed his lips and smiled. He finally figured out how to get along with Sal.

To put it simply, he is soft-hearted and will not respond to tough tactics. As long as you don't touch his minefields, most of the time, Thrall will really go along with him.

Everything in the room was packed up. Xie Wei put on his coat and sat in a chair looking out the window. It was a good day today and it wasn't snowing.

The snow outside the post station was about a foot thick. His carriage was parked in the yard. It was said that the snow in the Far North was even thicker than here, and the terrain there was very complicated. If you were not careful, you would step into a hidden rift or dark cave.

Looking at the jewel bracelet on his wrist, Xie Wei touched the forehead ornament hanging on his forehead. He now relied entirely on these magic props to maintain his body temperature. Without them, he could hardly move outdoors.

When he was imprisoned in the tower, he always believed that he could escape, but now he is not sure whether he can get out again after entering the snowfield today.

He and Sal played marbles for a few days. Neither of them mentioned what had happened before, but Shevi could see that Sal was trying hard to cheer him up.

Although he was not allowed to go out, he was allowed to open the window and play with the snow on the windowsill when no one was outside.

He would also casually say that the guard dog downstairs was very cute, so he would go downstairs and pick up a puppy for him to play with. The mother dog would then chase him upstairs and scratch at the door whimperingly.

In the end, he just touched the puppy and gave it back. Sal said that if he liked it, he would buy it.

Xie Wei didn't want it. He liked it very much, but he thought the puppy would definitely prefer staying at the post station.

After all, here are the people and environment it is familiar with, as well as its parents, brothers and sisters.

When Thrall came back, Xie Wei was staring out the window and didn't notice him coming in. It was not until Thrall walked up to him with a heavy cloak that he came to his senses.

"We can go now. The better off we are, the more we can reach Good City by tomorrow morning at the latest." Sal held Xie Wei's shoulders and helped him stand up. After tying his cloak around him, he pulled up the wide hood to cover his face.

"I'll go by myself." Pulling the brim of his hat, Xie Wei stretched out his hand and continued:

"Hold me."

Sar wanted to refuse, but when he saw Xie Wei extending his hand to him, he shook it without hesitation.

The large, powerful, rough palm tightly wrapped around Shevi's hand, and Shevi's warm fingers pressed against Sal's hot palm.

They walked downstairs slowly, one after the other. Xie Wei followed Sal half a step behind. The warmth from his hand spread to his heart, but the mark on his lower back made him alert from time to time.

There were not many people on the first floor of the inn early in the morning. Roland and Aldridge stood downstairs and watched them leave. Xie Wei did not look up to see the people and things around him. He wore a hood to cover his whole body. This was Sal's bottom line now.

Loran looked at Xie Wei's back, sighed slightly, then took a piece of candy from Aldridge's pocket and put it in his mouth in a depressed manner.

"Actually, I really want to be friends with him, but it seems unlikely now."

Loran's voice was not loud, but Aldridge heard it clearly. He looked at the closed carriage door and thought what a pity.

It was rare for his little master to have a favorite friend of the same age.

Xie Wei felt a little regretful for not being able to say goodbye to Roland in person. Strangely, he inexplicably felt that this young man, who had just had a meal with him, was very kind.

Kelutu pulled the carriage quickly across the Fugang Rift Valley. After crossing the rift valley, they completely entered the Far North Territory.

It was also at this time that Xie Wei suddenly heard a mechanical sound.

"System hibernation has ended and is restarting."
