Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

Although Xie Wei wrote in the letter that he had left the Far North Territory, after reading it, Sal just thought that Little Rose who wanted to mislead him was cute.

Is it possible to leave the Far North Territory in such a short time without leaving any trace? Even a magician at the level of a Grand Mage cannot do such a thing.

Sal was certain that Xie Wei was still in the territory and would not be able to leave in a short time.

But Sal was not sure whether there was anyone to pick up Xie Wei. After all, Little Rose was able to disappear out of thin air despite his strict defense, so she probably had planned to escape from the very beginning.

He thought of many kinds of dangers that Little Rose might encounter and made arrangements one by one, but he missed out on his weak partner. Before this, Sal had never thought that Shevi would leave him on her own.

When Sal saw the oval object in the jewelry box, he was sure that Little Rose had really left on her own and was not taken away or forced by anyone.

Except for Little Rose, no one will return the secret realm key after obtaining it.

The box that Jibuata gave to Little Rose contained the key to one of the ten secret realms of the Far North Territory. How could anyone not want to have it for themselves?

There is only Shiavi.

He had clearly explained what this thing was when Little Rose asked about it, but after Little Rose knew its purpose, she still threw it away so easily, as if there was nothing and no one in the Far North Territory that could keep him here.

Whenever Sal thought of this, he would feel an unbearable pain in his heart. In a sense, his little Rose was actually a very cruel person.

While planning to leave, she could let him gradually indulge in sweet dreams, and then abandon him mercilessly when he was happiest.

Sal did not let others know that Xie Wei left on his own. His statement to the outside world was that someone had kidnapped the Imperial Rose.

He recalled most of the men sent by Ryan, leaving only a small elite team to continue the search. He then gave the seeds left by Xie Wei to the retainer in charge of spring planting to try to plant them, and then took Puka to join the search team.

Thrall analyzed the situation with his most trusted magician, and they guessed that Little Rose must have used a teleportation scroll, and that Little Rose might have hidden a space item on his body that only he could open and see.

The existing space teleportation scrolls on the Lar continent can only achieve short-distance teleportation. Long-distance teleportation requires the support of large magic arrays. Therefore, Thrall limited the search range to the transmission distance of the teleportation scroll.

He ordered to search for traces within this range first and then expand the range outwards.

Xie Wei, who didn't know that Thrall was about to search the Misty Forest, was suddenly awakened by the roar of monsters in the forest after resting for a few hours.

Xie Wei wrapped the animal skin blanket tightly around himself and checked the time displayed on the system panel. It was ten o'clock in the morning. He calculated that he had slept for more than five hours.

After curling up for the whole night, his body felt stiff and sore. After Xie Wei folded up the safe house, he got up and moved around with a blanket over him. He did not sleep well. After the potion wore off, he would be woken up instantly by the cold, so he had to wake up every once in a while to drink a bottle of potion.

It is very dangerous in the Misty Forest both during the day and at night, but relatively speaking the day is slightly safer than the night, but only during the period when there is no fog.

If there is fog, it makes no difference whether it is day or night.

Xie Wei's good luck at night did not continue into the day. He leaned out of the tree hole and all he saw was a vast expanse of white fog.

After just one look at Xie Wei, he retreated back into the tree hole. He knew that he must not leave the tree hole until the fog dissipated.

Even if he had no fear of the foggy forest, he would not walk through the forest where he could not see the direction.

He dug a hole in the tree using the multi-functional portable shovel drawn from the system card pool, then piled the dead leaves and branches collected from the side of the tree hole in the hole, and then swung the dagger to release flames to ignite them, and Xie Wei started a small fire.

If you make a fire in the Misty Forest, whether it is day or night, as long as it is not a huge bonfire, it will generally not be detected from outside the forest.

This knowledge was told to Shevi by Thrall, who would occasionally tell Shevi about the hunting process in the Misty Forest.

Shevi always had great enthusiasm for such stories, and this enthusiasm enabled Sal to tell many useful things.

For example, how to identify directions in a misty forest, how to find water sources, the weaknesses of some wild beasts and monsters, etc.

He packed the snacks and bread in the system backpack into the iron lunch box hidden in the castle room, and then placed them on the stones he found on both sides of the fire pit.

Xie Wei held his chin and waited quietly for the food to be heated. The strawberries he ate before going to bed did not provide him with much energy.

After drinking the stamina potion, his body needed more energy than before. He discovered this when he woke up. Before this, he was not so hungry every time he woke up.

In the past, Sal would feed him some milk or rice porridge in the morning, but he could never eat much, and he ate very little at noon. However, his body could not support his excessive activity at that time, so he did not need too much energy, so he never felt hungry.

It was different now. Holding his stomach that was aching from hunger, Xie Wei reached out a hand to take the slice of bread from the iron lunch box. This bread was made from the flour he had grown before, and it tasted better than the bread originally made from barley flour from the Far North Territory.

The reheated dry bread was not bad. Xie Wei took out the bread and snacks from the iron lunch box and wrapped them in straw paper, then took out the leather water bag and poured some water into the lunch box.

Water that is not in a sealed container cannot be placed in the system backpack. There are very limited sealed containers found in the bedroom. Xie Wei only found two leather water bags, which he took from Sal's closet. It is estimated that they have been discovered by Sal now.

Based on what Xie Wei has known about Sal during this period, this man will definitely check the bedroom himself and judge from some details in the bedroom whether he was taken away or left on his own.

Because the number of people needed to be sent out to search the former and the latter is different, he needs to come up with different response plans.

Thrall is not the kind of lord who would order everyone to search for him and completely stop all spring work just because he suddenly disappeared.

Maybe in Sal's heart, he is somewhat important, but he will definitely fulfill his duties first, which Xie Wei appreciates very much.

Compared to Emperor Heseton who didn't care about the lives of the people of the empire, Thrall was already a very competent lord except that he seemed to have a bad temper and was a bit dictatorial.

Gesan said that the lord would always stand in front of them.

The first lord elected by the people of Paraso swore an oath that every successor thereafter would take the happiness and stability of the people as their life's responsibility, and leading the people of Paraso to a better life was the heavy responsibility they had to shoulder in order to enjoy the privileges of the lord.

Any personal feelings must give way to the entire Snowfield tribe.

In the past six months that Xie Wei and Sal have been together, Sal has been busy most of the time and has very little time to rest. He goes out early and comes back late every day, but he still has to squeeze out time to come back and accompany him.

The most relaxing time is actually when he is soaking in the holy spring with him or hugging him. Xie Wei can also feel that Sal will release his fatigue and stress on him.

At the beginning, it made him feel as if he was a tool, but later he had a different experience. Thrall's overly gentle movements made him feel at that moment as if he was a harbor where he could lean on and rest.

After being in a daze for a while, Xie Wei looked at the boiling water in the lunch box, pursed his lips and smiled bitterly.

He thought that after he left, he might not be able to forget Sal for a long time, but he would have other more colorful memories.

So, there is nothing to regret.

After all, people can't want everything. To get something, you always need to pay something else.
