Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

Carefully stepping over the thick roots tangled on the ground, Xie Wei looked up at the giant arch that was getting closer and closer, and his originally calm mood couldn't help but ripple.

Dagambie, who was walking in front, noticed that the person who was following him and was walking slowly suddenly quickened his pace. He turned sideways and said helplessly, "The key to the secret realm is not something that is so easy to obtain. There are not many people who can pass the secret realm trial. If someone else has gone through untold hardships to pass the secret realm trial to get here, they would not want to leave until they have opened hundreds of treasure chests. You are just a brat. You have only opened three treasure chests, but you are so anxious to get out. You are really unlike me..."

It's really unlike Florence. Florence opened hundreds of treasure chests back then.

Dagambie's last words were too soft for Xie Wei to hear clearly, so he asked him.

"Not like anything?"

"Nothing, let's go, let's go." Dagambie said hurry up, hurry up, but in fact his pace slowed down.

The closer he got to the giant arch, the more ethereal Dagumbi's figure became. By the time Xie Wei stepped onto the jade steps, Dagumbi had turned back into the palm-sized golden man.

Xie Wei was still used to seeing the golden version of Dagambi. He thought Dagambi would fall on his shoulder like before, but no, Dagambi stayed where he was and waved at him. Then there was a sudden noise from the archway.

His gaze shifted to the arch formed by countless roots. Xie Wei looked at the light shining into the secret realm as the arch opened. He stood in the center of the light, while Dagambie stood outside the light.

"Goodbye, Shevy."

Dagambie looked at the young man he had been caring for for several years, and he knew that they would never see each other again.

Maybe it's due to his personality, Xie Wei's emotions don't fluctuate particularly violently when facing separation. He seems to react a little slowly, and is always very straightforward when saying goodbye in person, but becomes very depressed after people leave.

This time he was separated from Dagambi. Since he knew from the beginning that Dagambi was only his temporary supervisor and they would be separated after completing the secret trial, he was mentally prepared early on.

But even though he was mentally prepared, Xie Wei was still stunned for a moment when he heard Dagambie say "goodbye" to him, but he quickly came to his senses and waved his hand in the same way.

"Goodbye, Mr. Dagambi, thank you for your care during this period." It would be a lie to say that he was not sad. Xie Wei said with a smile, suppressing the soreness in his eyes.

“I really appreciate it.”

Xie Wei faced Dagambie, clenched his fist and placed it on his chest. He performed the Parassian etiquette to Dagambie. After the ceremony, he did not stop, but turned around and walked forward firmly along the light.

Dagambie looked at the young magician walking along the jade stairs towards the source of light outside the secret realm. He endured and struggled for a minute, then spoke loudly when Xie Wei was about to step onto the last step.

"She never left you, Shevy, she never left you!"

Xie Wei turned around and wanted to ask what Dagambie meant, but at this moment, someone outside the secret realm suddenly called his name.

He was pulled by a force to step onto the last step, and then was carried forward by the light, getting farther and farther away from Dagambie.

When passing through the door to the secret realm, Xie Wei vaguely heard Dagumbi seem to say something again. He tried hard to listen, but couldn't hear it clearly. When he turned around, he found that Dagumbi had disappeared in the secret realm where there was only endless darkness.

After the white light in front of him faded away, Xie Wei found that he had arrived outside the giant arch of the secret realm. Not far away, beside the rubber boat, Iriel, who was calling his name, also saw him.

The two brothers, who had just met each other, ran towards each other without hesitation and then hugged each other tightly.

Xie Wei buried his head in Irel's arms, his hands resting lightly on Irel's back.

He was afraid of hurting him.

Thinking of his brother who was lively and cheerful when he was young, playing in the garden in short sleeves with his soft white arms exposed, and then looking at his brother who wore gloves and never exposed any skin below the neck, Xie Wei couldn't imagine how much suffering and injuries Yirel had endured over the years...

……

At seven o'clock in the morning, Yrel opened his eyes and sat up. Just as he was about to leave the bed, a strong arm wrapped around his shoulders.

Raymond put his chin on top of Irel's head and began to take credit: "Irel, Xie Wei and his partner haven't woken up yet. They are so lazy. I made breakfast. I did it all by myself."

Iriel first looked around the tent he was in, then used magic to explore the surrounding environment and another tent not far away.

Raymond was not talking nonsense, the two people in the other tent were indeed not awake yet.

He rubbed his forehead with his hand. He was sure that the memory of him and Xie Wei drifting on the light golden water three or four hours ago was not a dream.

Confessing my identity, holding that soft little baby, and hearing him call me brother is definitely not a dream.

Of course, that giant arch is definitely not a dream.

Raymond didn't wait for Irel's praise, but he could see that he was thinking about something important, so he behaved well and stopped trying to attract his attention in every possible way.

In another tent not far from Irel's tent, Shevi was sleeping soundly in Thrall's arms.

Four hours ago, after he left the secret realm, before he had time to say anything to Iriel, the space around him suddenly distorted, and a few moments later they returned to the lake where the camp was located.

Back at the temporary camp, no longer affected by the restrictions of the secret realm, Yrel suddenly discovered that Xie Wei's magic power had increased significantly for some reason. Thinking of the giant arch, Yrel knew without asking Xie Wei that his magic power increase should be related to that door.

After touching Xie Wei's hair, Irel discussed with him, "I'm going to take Raymond back to my tent first. We can talk later, okay?"

Iriel was a little interested in the secret realm of the Parasos, but not much. As long as Xie Wei was fine, he didn't intend to ask too much about the secret realm. After all, no matter how much he knew, he couldn't enter.

The most urgent task now is to separate Raymond and the Lord of the Snowfield, who were transferred to the same tent by Xie Wei, so as to avoid a fight when they wake up.

Shevi had no objection, and he also thought it would be better to separate the two men first, so Iriel went to take Raymond and Frost to his tent, while Shevi stayed there to pack up his rubber boat.

After packing up the rubber boat, Xie Wei checked the time and found that on this timeline, he and Iriel had only been away for less than half an hour.

As soon as he looked at the time, he felt sleepy and tired, so he went to find Yrel and planned to tell him that he wanted to rest for a while. When he arrived at the door of the tent, he found that Yrel was lying on the bed holding Frost and had fallen asleep.

Raymond, who was lying under the bed, heard the noise, opened his eyes and looked at Xie Wei in confusion. He wondered why this little thing came to his and Iriel's tent instead of sleeping well. Did he want to sleep in the same tent with Iriel?

Thinking of this, Raymond climbed up and held the sleeping Iriel in his arms, then squeezed onto the not-so-wide bed, then looked at Xie Wei and raised his chin.

Raymond meant that there was no place to sleep and asked Xie Wei to go back. Xie Wei only understood that Raymond asked him not to disturb Iriel.

After lowering the door curtain of Irel's tent, Xie Wei tiptoed back to his and Thrall's tent, changed into his pajamas and got into the quilt. As soon as he lay down, he was pulled into the other's arms as usual.
