After leaving the misty forest, the two continued northward on the recovered bone horse.No one took the initiative to mention the sudden kiss in the battle, but no one really forgot the sudden heartbeat.Yuki could feel that their relationship was gradually getting closer.During the break, Sena no longer sat silently on the sidelines wiping weapons, but stayed beside Yuki who was studying the ancient books of spells, chatting casually, and very occasionally, he would mention a few words about the past in the palace trivia.

Although Sena's intimacy has an exact value when it increases, the system cunningly hides the base of intimacy. Yuki can only roughly estimate how much affection Sena has accumulated for him from the beginning to now, but he doesn't know the intimacy of the two How far has it progressed.However, at least one thing is certain, as comrades-in-arms and partners, their cooperation has become more and more tacit.During the battle, Yuki can even perform combo skills with Sena, which is almost twice the maximum damage output of a single player, and when the combined skills are successfully triggered, Sena's favorability will increase.

Because they often ran into monsters and wild beasts along the way, the two gradually became more comfortable in fighting, and it was not as difficult as when they were trapped in the royal city at first.Sena also regularly picks up nice new weapons, which are still not as good as his original saber, but have improved attack power as well.And Yuki's MP upper limit is not regularly raised, even if there is no explicit level system, he can still feel that he has indeed upgraded.

Perhaps, as the amphibian patriarch said, the closer you are to each other, the stronger your strength.

Just like that couple...

You Mu coughed lightly, it must be that the bonfire at night was too hot, and his face was almost sweating from the heat.

"Go to bed when you're tired."

Sena sat opposite, using a branch to stir the charcoal in the fire.They were hiding in an abandoned dungeon at the moment, the exit was blocked by Sena from the inside, and Yuki cast an invisibility spell.Although the wet, cold and hard concrete floor is not comfortable, at least you can sleep soundly.

You Mu silently closed the book, and lay on his side on the only dry and narrow open space. Even though some weeds were spread, it was still hard to fall asleep when lying on it.Yuki couldn't fall asleep, so he turned to the bright bonfire. Without his glasses, he could only see a blur of light and shadow. He felt that Sena was looking at him, but he couldn't help complaining about his excess self-consciousness.

"What's wrong with You Jun? Keep looking at this side."

"Isn't Sena-san sleeping?"

A subtle sense of sight, as if he had asked the same question the night he stayed in Wangcheng a few months ago.

Sena was silent for a while, put the new booty into the scabbard, and walked to the straw mat that couldn't even be called a bed.Yuki didn't expect him to come like this, Sena's body blocked the firelight, but he seemed to avoid the light, turned his back unnecessarily, closed his eyes nervously, and waited for the reaction of the people behind him.

After a small rustle, Sena also lay down beside him.That was the first time they slept together so close, it was basically sharing the same bed.The heart is dancing in the chest with great fanfare, Youmu can't wait to hold down the noisy organ with his hands, so as not to hear the heartbeat by the people next to him.After an unknown period of time, apart from the sound of flames burning in the air, there was only the slight exhalation accumulated in the ears.Yuki counted sheep with his eyes closed, but he was still not sleepy. His right arm under him was already numb. He turned around cautiously, only to find that Sena was lying on his side facing him, and was even disturbed by the movement of his turning around. Wake up and open your eyes.

You Mu was like an escaped prisoner found by a searchlight, his hands and feet were cold and he froze.

"You Jun?" Sena had a nasal voice, but she didn't feel impatient after being disturbed: "Is there something on your mind?"

"No, no. Sorry for waking you up."

"Too hard to sleep?"

You Mu pursed his lips after being told that he was thinking, he didn't want the other party to feel that he was too delicate, but the cement slab covered with gravel was really uncomfortable, and he didn't have such a harsh environment in the last wilderness world.

"stand up."

As Sena said, she also got up, took off the knight clothes with long hem and spread them out, and put them under the two of them.

Yuki waved his hands in trepidation: "This is a precious shining knight uniform, it's too wasteful."

"Clothes are for use," Sena said indifferently, lying on the coat and closing her eyes, "Hurry up and sleep, we will be at the foot of the Snow Mountain tomorrow."

That was the last hurdle for them to go to the Immortal City. The continuous snow-capped mountains are a natural barrier that blocks the permafrost of the northern plains and other areas. Few people will take the initiative to climb mountains and ridges. , there is also a group of violent giants who are aggressive by nature and like to eat humans.

But in order to reach their destination, no matter how difficult and dangerous they are, they have to bite the bullet and break in.Sena said that he knew an undead knight who had mentioned a safe route to his hometown.Although I don't know if what that person said is reliable, but right now I can only try.

Since the future is uncertain, of course it is time to get a good night's sleep.However, even if he understands this truth in his heart, if he doesn't feel sleepy, he doesn't feel sleepy, Yumu is helpless.However, after wearing the knight uniform under his body, the blessings attached to the clothes also penetrated his skin, and the uneasiness trapped in his heart gradually calmed down, and Yuki finally felt sleepy.

He took off the mage's robe, and the soft satin poured down from his arms like water, covering Sena's body.

The knight looked at him questioningly, and the inarticulate magician just looked away shyly: "Clothes are for use, and you can't catch cold."

In the shadow, Sena seemed to be smiling, Yuki was embarrassed to look at him, said "good night" quickly, and lay down with his head down while pulling his robe.

The sound of the flames burning gradually died down, and they finally fell asleep.

Departing the next day, there was still some distance to reach the snow-capped mountains, so Youmu opened the menu bar on his horseback to browse all kinds of information collected along the way.

Although they have been looking for the reason for the fall of the royal city, no one can give an answer.According to folklore, the people in the city disappeared overnight, and the bustling royal city was instantly reduced to a dead city. No one knew where they went, whether they were alive or dead.

The only useful information is the ancient prophecy narrated by the bards-the night without stars and moon, that is, when Calamity gazes upon all beings.I heard that the night when the accident happened in Wangcheng was the night of the full moon, but the full moon suddenly disappeared at zero o'clock, not hidden in the thick clouds, but just disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a frighteningly large If you look closely at the black hole, you will even see a blood-red midline, like a huge pupil, silently staring at the dark land.Since then, all kinds of terrible nocturnal creatures have emerged one after another, and some races with strong temperaments suddenly become warlike and brutal. For a time, conflicts and disputes between races and nations ||| , The people are in dire straits.

On the way to the north, Sena and Yuki often helped the disadvantaged villagers and became famous without knowing it. Some monsters even began to regard them as thorns in their eyes, chasing and killing them everywhere.

Not wanting to hurt the innocent, the two stopped staying in the village, but relied on Youmu's invisibility spell to hide their whereabouts.Now his mana gauge is no longer as stretched as it was before, and it is no problem to maintain the invisibility spell for one night, not to mention, he still has his "magic container" by his side.

But, despite the much more wasted magic, they never kissed again.Sena often asked him if his magic power was enough, and Yuki always blushed and shook his head and said, no problem, he recovered very quickly with Mr. Sena by his side.

After receiving such an answer, Sena didn't say anything, but Yuki always felt that he was a bit lost.

When the majestic snow mountain lay in front of the two of them, it was getting late, and the top of the mountain was dyed purple and orange. Sena drove the horse and circled around the edge of the snow field.

"Tsk, what do you mean by 'direction directly below the morning star'? You can't see any stars at the foot of the mountain..." Sena muttered softly, as if complaining that her companion's guidance was not reliable.

You Mu also looked around, except for the snow-covered high mountains in front of him, there was an endless snowfield. When the sky darkened, he couldn't even distinguish the scenery clearly.Suddenly, he saw a small fluorescent blue dot obliquely ahead, which was very similar to the light spot he saw in the royal city and the plain. He had an intuition that this mysterious blue dot would be like before. same, guide them in the right direction.

Hearing the direction Yuki was pointing at, Sena was full of doubts, but turned around and walked over cooperatively.It was completely dark, and it was snowing all around. Youmu lit a fire at his fingertips, and the lighting kept him warm.

After walking for a while, the horse snorted and stopped.At this moment, it had completely turned into a skeleton shape, so sitting on it was naturally not very comfortable, so the two got off the horse, and found that the ground under their feet was not soft white snow, but solid stones.Looking around again, Yuki couldn't help sighing.

"There are also ruins in the snow field, which seems to be a very ancient civilization."

Sena was also quite surprised. Although it was just ruins, it miraculously maintained its original appearance, covered with green moss that was contrary to the natural environment, and the snowflakes fell and disappeared without leaving any water marks.Because of this, the ruins are particularly conspicuous in the endless whiteness.

Sena thought of something, looked at the sky, the night sky tonight was dim, but he could vaguely see a star twinkling in front of him, it should be the so-called morning star.

Yuki also looked up at the sky, the night sky in Pulan was lifeless, hardly any stars could be seen, but there were no clouds, it was as monotonous as a piece of paper covered with dark blue tones.

"The moon is getting rounder." He looked at the lone moon in the middle of the sky, and couldn't help thinking of the ancient prophecy recited by the bard. "I don't know what will happen..."

"Don't think about what you have," Sena wrote lightly, patted Yuki's lower back, and walked forward first, "After walking for a day, You Jun is tired, let's find a place to rest first."

You Mu responded and followed, he was very fortunate that he in this world was not going to the Undead City alone, if he hadn't been accompanied by Sena Izumi, he might have died in the misty forest, no, or outside the royal city.Even if he survived by luck, the depression of one person is far more painful than that of two companions. Maybe Sena also knows his thoughts, so he always changes the topic when he is uneasy, encourages him calmly, and pulls Let him walk the road in front of him.

【35】

When I woke up, what greeted my eyes was not a peaceful picture.Sena lowered her body, and blocked Yuki with a sharp sword. Opposite them was a monster that looked like a black bear. Two pairs of bright green eyes stared at Sena, as if it was about to pounce on him at any time and tear him to pieces.

Youmu hurriedly clicked on the auxiliary device. Although the illustrated book has been updated, there are only a few words to introduce it, and it is impossible to see any attributes or weaknesses of this monster.Just when he was struggling with what spell to use, an arrow fell from the sky and hit the monster on the shoulder. The bear seemed to be very afraid of the owner of the arrow, and ran away screaming.

"Hey, I'm here." A clear voice sounded from the top of the two people's heads. They followed the sound, and the person who greeted him was an immature...young man?

"Thank you for saving us." You Mu raised his face, not knowing how to use honorifics to address this stranger who is more than three meters tall.

"That's nothing. In fact, I'm not good at archery. If it was my father, I could shoot a bear through the head with one arrow." The man smiled shyly and said excitedly, "Are you human race? So small. My name is Dean, how about you?"

It seems that this is the legendary giant family.As if to fulfill Yuki's conjecture, an explanatory text about the giant race popped up on the lens. Although the giant race in front of him was much taller than a human, he was still immature, probably only in the juvenile stage of giants.No wonder the tone of his speech is so immature, if it wasn't for his tall stature, Yuki would have thought he was talking to kindergarten children again.

After the two little humans reported themselves, a giant named Dean sat on the ground with his knees a little higher than Sena's, which made the knight very uncomfortable.

"I really didn't expect to see the human race again. Aren't you afraid that the giant race can eat people? But basically no one comes here except me. Everyone hates human beings, saying that they are insidious and cunning. But... I like people very much."

Dean's eyes were shining, and his huge palm was moving restlessly on his knee. He turned to Sena, as if looking at a favorite doll: "Can I see your weapon, although it is like a toothpick, wow It's so cool, and it glows."

"Tsk, don't mess with other people's things, you bastard!" Sena said angrily, wanting to poke that hand with a sword.

"I also want to use a sword, but they all say that I am too stupid and I will hurt myself. I am only allowed to use a bow, but I can't always aim."

Sena proudly said: "That's because you haven't mastered the skills, kid, take out your bow."

The young giant obediently took out his bow, while Sena dexterously climbed up a broken stone pillar so that he could look at the other side.While posing to draw his bow, he said something to the other party.Dean nodded repeatedly.

Yuki watched from below, watching Dean shoot through a bird as Sena instructed, and the giant happily grabbed Sena, holding him close to crushing him.

Yuki laughed suddenly, although he didn't understand why he laughed out loud, just looking at Sena like this gave him the illusion of returning to reality, as if what he saw was not the knight piled up with data, but the real Sena Izumi, the senior who complained a lot but took care of others with a different heart.When the previous self was at a loss, that person also took the trouble to teach him like this. Although it was all in the past, Yumu still missed it for no reason.

Why does this game full of Izumi Sena of various identities always make him miss the Sena in reality? Obviously these world-line Izumis are much more fashionable, but the more you get along with them, The more Yuki couldn't help wanting to see the most ordinary but most unique Izumi-senpai.

I suddenly want to go back...

"You Jun, why are you distracted?"

Sena's voice rang in his ears, and the knight Sena Izumi had returned to him at some point.The young giant also followed behind him, his curious eyes lingering between the two human races.

"Brother Sena, do you have a good relationship with brother 'You Jun'?"

Sena seemed to have been forced to answer a lot of questions, her patience was worn out, and she said angrily, "Why are you asking this?"

"I think you are very similar to the pair of brothers and sisters next door to me."

"What do you mean?"

The giant with little experience thought about it distressedly: "That is, they will live together, sleep in the same bed, and have sex."

You Mu was shocked by Tong Yan Wuji, and glared at Sena complainingly: "What nonsense did you talk to him?"

Sena was very wronged: "I didn't say anything, although what this kid said is not bad."

"How can there be no difference..." You Mu said anxiously, "The elder brother and sister he mentioned must be lovers!"

Sena looked at him inexplicably: "I'm just talking about the content of that brat, but You Jun thinks a lot about it."

This person is definitely playing a language trap on purpose!Yu Mu was at a loss for words, for a moment he really wanted to set the clothes of this arrogant knight on fire, who let him make himself deflated.

"Have you quarreled?" Dean said nervously, "If there is a quarrel, just kiss me. This is what Sister Joan told me."

"That's not something you kid can see." Sena finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she changed the subject, "What are you doing in this ruin?"

"Look at the stone statue."

You Mu looked in the direction of the giant's finger. It was the only huge stone statue that was well preserved in the ruins. It was taller than Dean. Holding a trident, it stood majestically among the ruins in the distance.

"Although she is a human being, she is taller than me," the giant's high-pitched tone suddenly dropped. "If my mother could be like him, she wouldn't die so easily."

Youmu vaguely guessed something: "Could it be that your mother is..."

"Humans," Dean said in a stiff tone, "people in the village hate me and call me stupid, and I hate them too. I like staying here."

"Those people are all idiots," Sena said bluntly, "Next time I laugh at you for being stupid, shoot him under the crotch with an arrow."

Yuki looked at the knight comforting the little giant dumbfoundedly, although he was very handsome, he always felt a little strange.The young giant nodded seriously, and asked again: "Then what are you doing here? Are you also looking at stone statues?"

"We're going over this mountain."

Dean had no doubts about Sena's words: "Then you have to avoid the village, there are people in the village who are very bad and can eat people."

"We'll find a way."

The giant thought for a while: "I am familiar with this place, and I can show you around the village. You chatted with me and taught me archery, so I want to help."

With an unexpected helper, the two carefully avoided the giants and headed towards the foot of the mountain.Although the snow mountain seemed close at hand, it still took nearly a day to cross the snow field. As night fell, they had already walked through most of the ruins and came to the stone statue. The giant statue was taller than it looked from a distance. No wonder Dean adored it.

"It's enough for you to send us here. It's better for you to go home quickly while it's still early." Sena turned around and stood in front of the giant, beckoning him not to move forward.

Just as Dean shook his head, the originally calm snowfield suddenly began to shake from a distance. There was a strange loud noise coming from the other side of the mountain, like the roar of some huge monster, shaking people's bones to pieces.

"A moonless night..." You Muxin couldn't say it well, the timing was too unlucky, tonight happened to be the second ominous night in the prophecy, the last time was the sudden disaster of the royal city, so what will happen this time?

Sena suddenly took his hand and pressed it to her waist: "Hold on tight, don't leave my side no matter what."

Yuki tensed his arms.But before they escaped from the snowy field, the bone horse suddenly raised its front hooves and spun frantically in place.Yu Mu caught a glimpse of two faint green lights from the corner of his eye, looked carefully over them, and his heart immediately sank to the bottom of the valley.

Blocking their way was a giant monster about the height of Dean. Perhaps it was affected by the moonless night. Its dark fur was emitting strange smoke. It could barely be seen that it was a bear. The arrow that broke the feathers, obviously, this is the return of the monster that fled before to take revenge.

"Hurry up!" Dean drew out his bow and arrows. At this moment, he was not as immature as before, but as tall and reliable as his figure.

"How could we just run away like this?" Sena pulled out the sword, Yuki understood, immediately put his hand on the back of his hand, and silently recited the lightning mantra in his heart, and soon, the sharp blade glowed with a dangerous thunder.

Fighting monsters while the earth was shaking and the mountains shaking was not an easy task. The long screams in the distance continued, and snowballs continued to roll down from the top of the mountain. Sena had to divert his energy to avoid those dangerous behemoths.This black bear was far more difficult than any monster they had encountered before, it slapped the horse away with one slap, and slapped Yuki half a pipe of blood away with one slap.

"You Jun go find a bunker!"

Sena said, brandishing the thunder sword and rushing towards the giant monster again.Speed ​​was his only advantage at the moment, but even so, he still couldn't hit the attack. The bear was surprisingly agile and had no obvious attribute weaknesses.

Dean had run out of arrows, and he also seemed to be affected by that cry, unable to concentrate or even control his body well.Yuki rushed to his side, trying to cast a shielding spell on him, but he grabbed him.

"Dean?!"

Yumu, who was pinched in his palm, was so painful that he couldn't speak. As long as the giant exerted more force, his broken ribs would pierce his heart and lungs.He barely opened his eyes, and Dean's originally clear and beautiful blue pupils had turned blood red, and his jagged teeth suddenly became sharp and long, almost like a beast.That was the harbinger of the berserkness of the giant race, and at the same time, it was also the harbinger of losing their rationality and cannibalism.

Sena ignored the black bear's attack and raised his sword to stab Dean's instep. He didn't want to hurt this kind giant, but he couldn't stand anyone hurting You Jun.

The slight sting made the mad giant wake up a little bit, so as not to crush the magician in his palm to death.The unconscious Yuki fell from his hand.Sena quickly caught him, rolled on the spot, and hid behind the broken wall.

"You Jun! Cheer up!" The Radiance Knight has never been so panicked like this moment. He doesn't care if he is seriously injured. That is the inevitable price to pay for protecting important things. Even if he is seriously injured, he can support the battle until the end .But You Jun is different, no matter how sharp the sword in his hand is, it is meaningless to face the injured You Mu, he can only watch the magician in his arms bleeding and suffering, but there is nothing he can do.

The berserk black bear roared and tried to break through the wall, but Dean threw him aside.The young giant's body was still too reluctant to deal with the monsters, but even so, he still gritted his teeth and refused to let go. Although he didn't know what happened to the two human races, he liked them and didn't want to see their painful expressions.

"You Jun, please... don't faint, I can do anything for you, anything is fine, let me do something for you!"

Sena prayed incoherently, he never believed in those gods, but at this moment he was hopelessly longing for the favor of the gods, even if it was a sentence or a half sentence, please hear his heart, and don't let the person in his arms take away.

He put Yumu's cold hand on his heart, and kissed the other party's forehead and lips in a panic. He didn't know what to do, what else to do, but he held the magician's hand tightly in vain, for fear that the other party would suddenly appear in front of his eyes. disappear.

Suddenly, Yuki coughed in pain, blood flowed down the corner of his lips, Sena hurriedly straightened his head, wiped away the blood, and called his name nervously.The huge snowball rolled down and smashed the stone statue beside them. The loud sound of the stone shattering almost drowned Sena's voice, but Yuki heard it, and subconsciously responded: "Izumi..."

"I'm here! You-kun!" Sena was overwhelmed by the ecstasy of being lost and found again, he restrained and kissed Yuki's forehead lightly, and watched him slowly open his eyes as if awakened by a kiss.

It was Sena's face full of joy and worry that filled the entire field of vision, Yuki wanted to smile consolingly, but was ruined by a sharp pain.His brain was finally waking up slowly, and his abdomen and chest were in terrible pain. He was afraid that his bones were broken, and he might have punctured his internal organs.But at least he is still conscious, and the remaining magic power is enough for him to cast a great healing spell for himself. He barely read it, and the holy light enveloped him and Sena.

"I'm fine," Yuki looked at the chaotic knight, and smiled heartily, "The healing technique will take effect soon, Mr. Sena, don't worry about me."

"I'm worried that You Jun won't even give me a chance to protect you." Sena whispered, still holding Yuki's hand tightly.

"Although I'm not as good as Mr. Sena, I'm not a useless magician," Yuki laughed, "Besides, I still have a ring."

As if to confirm that the ring was still there, Sena squeezed his finger tightly.

The long sound in the distance continued, like the horn of the end of the world, making people despair and collapse.Snowballs are no longer falling from the top of the mountain, but what's worse, an avalanche is coming.

"We have to leave immediately. Where's that brat?" Sena picked up Yuki by the waist, and then he saw clearly that on the battlefield where the fight was just now, lay the dying body of a black bear. It was probably hit by a snowball, and its head was shattered. Grind to pieces.The shattered stone statues were scattered on the ground. If it wasn't for the eye-catching blood under the green, Sena even wondered if Dean had left.

"Dean!" Youmu also saw the pool of blood, and cried out in disbelief.Submerged under the gravel was Dean's body, the tall trident pierced his heart, the giant boy had stopped breathing, only the blood kept flowing from his chest, spreading like it was going to dye the entire snowfield It is like a beautiful flower in the sky.

Yuki couldn't remember how they escaped from that nightmare at all. Although the wound had healed, his body was still weak.The magician's trance mental state also affects the player's Yuki. He is surrounded by unspeakable great grief. It seems that his soul is no longer in this world or in this game, but drifts into nothingness in a trance, with nowhere to go. Rely on, nowhere to go.

Until a hand grabbed him from the void.

Yuki came back to his senses, and let Sena lead him to a bench blankly.He took the hot water handed by the other party, and looked around laggingly. It seemed to be an abandoned church with many prayer benches, but the hanging statues had long been destroyed, and only half of the eaves remained.

"Drink something warm," Sena's voice was unbelievably gentle, he wrapped Yuki's hands holding the cup, "it's safe here, you can sleep well and don't have to think about anything."

Yuki didn't want to drink anything warm, he just wanted to pull his hands away from Sena's palm and hug him tightly, the nightmare in the snow field turned him into a coward, he was too scared, afraid that someone would take Sena Snatch it from him.He realized that he was so timid, and he was afraid of losing Senaquan from the bottom of his heart.

He threw the cup aside and hugged the knight in front of him with all his strength.Sena didn't speak, just stroked the other's hair over and over again.

I don't know how long it took, Sena put his hands around Yuki's chin, gently cupped his face, wiped the wet tears with his fingertips, Yuki looked away dodgingly, as if he didn't want Sena to see his face Looking embarrassed.

As if reading Yuki's mind, or maybe it was just her own pure heart, Sena said softly, "Don't leave me."

As if asking for an affirmative answer, he kissed Yuki's lips.
