Gate of the Cross

Chapter 67 On the Road

After discussing with Nanali for a while, Xinjie decided to leave tomorrow morning and leave for Ariute Village. Nanali was supposed to leave this afternoon, but Xinjie thought that it took her a day to get here overnight, so he thought it would be better for her to have a good rest and refresh herself before leaving tomorrow.

Nanali originally said nothing and even moved out of the statement that "the people of Ariute Village are still waiting for us to save" to support her point of view. But when Xinjie said, "Even if you don't care, I won't allow you to cherish your body," somehow Nanali agreed with a slightly blush. This puzzled Xinjie and didn't know why Nanali suddenly changed her mind.

However, in any case, the matter was finally solved smoothly. Nanali, who had not slept all night, had a good rest at the synthetic house that night, while Xinjie still stayed at the synthetic house that night. Of course, the two slept separately.

The next day.

"Are we leaving now?"

It's early morning. In addition to them, people in the village have already got up, but most of them are still **. Although Freya Island has no snow all year round, it is still late winter at this moment. In such cold weather conditions, no one wants to get up early to suffer.

Hearing Nanali's words, Xinjie nodded, "Let's go. I promised them that I would catch up early."

An infrequent sentence caused a ripple in Nanali's heart. She had promised others to go early, or let me take a day off first. It seemed that this dull guy also knew that she felt sorry for people.

"Okay, let's go!" Nanali said to the synthetic grid that came to send her, "Uncle He, go back, or Uncle Kong will come to you again."

And Xinjie patiently listened to Thomas, who also came to send him off, and said, "Be careful all the way. Although it's not good to say this now, I always have ominous omens."

Xinjie thought that I have even experienced the thing of losing my soul, and no matter how ominous it is, I can only die.

Of course, he didn't say this sentence.

"Also, take good care of others." Thomas looked at Nanali next to Xinjie and smiled mysteriously.

Xinjie nodded, "Teammates should take care of each other."

“......”

Nanali rode a horse and Xinjie walked. The two said goodbye to the few people who came to see them off and left Il Village.

"Do you know the way?" Nanali asked on a horse. She had been to Ariute Village a long time ago. If the transmission stone was not unusable, she could send it directly. How could she walk? However, thinking that Xinjie went to this village for the first time, she still asked.

Xinjie nodded, "I have seen the map in the past two days and go west along this road. Turn north at the fork in front of the road to reach the Habaru Mountains. After crossing the mountains, it is not far from the village of Alute."

"It's really surprisingly reliable, team leader," Nanali said in a joke tone.

Xinjie did not respond to her joke.

It's really a piece of wood, Nanali thought, but when she thought that there were only two of them on the next journey, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, but she had a little more expectations. Even she couldn't tell what kind of mentality this was.

Nanali thought about what was on her mind, and Xinjie was also silent, and the two suddenly fell silent.

It was not until he came to the fork in the road, when Xinjie saw a sign a few days ago that Xinjie said, "A distance north from here is the Habaru Mountains."

"Ah, it's true."

Nanali, who had been thinking about her things, was reminded by Xinjie to find that they had come so far, but strangely, she didn't know why she didn't meet the demon clan in this kind.

"I haven't walked this road for a long time. The last time I passed here was more than half a year ago..." Nanali said this, but saw that Xinjie didn't mean to talk to me. She asked angrily, "How long do you think it will take from here to Ariute Village?"

Hearing Nanali's question, Xinjie thought for a moment, "It should be about two days."

"It won't take that long, will it? It only took me half a day to arrive last time, and I met many demons on the road. Nanali frowned, "Will you make a mistake?"

Xinjie took out the map from his arms, "According to the scale and our foot distance, it won't be wrong, and this is a case of not calculating the battle with the demon clan."

He put away the map and looked at Nanali again. "If you rode a horse last time, you could have been there in theory for half a day."

Nanali laughed and said, "In theory, I was riding a horse last time... By the way, why don't you ride a horse?"

Nally thought of a very serious problem. Why didn't Xinjie ride a horse?

If you leave France because you are not in a hurry, and there is no one to remind you - people like Gene are directly ignored by Nanali. However, there are many horses in Il Village. Now there is only one horse between the two, which will obviously waste time when they are on their way.

Is it that this guy has bad intentions, deliberately pretends to forget, and then wants to ride the same horse with himself?

Worse, why did I neglect this matter? The more Nanali thought about this possibility, the more her face suddenly turned red. What bad is this guy doing to ride a horse with him?

"I will never agree!"

Thinking of half of Nanali, she couldn't help shouting out.

Xinjie raised his head and said strangely, "What do you disagree with?"

"Of course, ride a horse with me... Ah!"

As soon as Nanali said it, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She immediately reached out and covered her mouth, but what she said was like water spilled out. How could it be so easy to take it back?

"Riding the same horse as you?" Xinjie looked at Nanali's horse. She was tall and held her head high all the way. The hissing sound was also full of air. It was a rare good horse. It should not be a problem to carry the two of them.

"What do you want to do?"

When Nanali saw Xinjie's eyes looking at herself up and down, she couldn't help asking vigilantly.

Xinjie shook his head, "No."

"What's not okay?" Nanali still asked vigilantly.

"I can't ride a horse with you." Xinjie said lightly.

"Why?"

As soon as she said this sentence, Nanali couldn't wait to take it back - of course, it was impossible. Doesn't this question sound like she begging him to ride a horse with her?

Fortunately, Xinjie didn't notice this, or he didn't think of it at all. Xinjie said with some regret, "I can't ride a horse."

"Ah?"

Nanali never thought that such an answer would appear in Xinjie's mouth.

Seeing Nanali's puzzled appearance, Xinjie added, "In my original world, riding a horse was hundreds of years ago, and we used more advanced machines."

Xinjie did not lie. In his world, horses have become a tool for people to feel ancient life.

"Are you showing off?" Nanali realized that Xinjie was saying that the world was backward, and she was suddenly a little unhappy.

"It's just a statement of facts." Xinjie looked around and said, "There is a demon clan nearby."

"It's just a few wasps. We don't have to take action."

Nanali doesn't care at all. As she said, before their respective owners can do it, Xinjie's pet demons and her pet mantis have solved them neatly - the wasp's defense and life are really low, but their attack is also very high, and they will be poisoned after being stung. More annoying.

New Jay noticed that the color of Nanali's pet mantis was a little different from that of Gene. Gene was green and hers was gold.

"This is called a red-eye mantis. How about it? Isn't it beautiful? It was given to me by the teacher. Noticing Xinjie's eyes, Nanali introduced with a beautiful face.

"La Merino?" As soon as Xinjie thought about it, he understood what the "teacher" was in Nanali's mouth.

"You are not allowed to call the teacher's name like this!" Nanali respected Lamerino very much. Hearing Xinjie call him by his name, she frowned.

It doesn't matter. He pointed to the front, "We're here."

Not far in front of them is an obviously artificially excavator cave. The entrance of the cave stands a sign with a few words written in scribbled handwriting. Xinjie looked at it for a long time before he recognized it - the cave east of Habaru.

"That's it." Nanali jumped down from the horse and brought a breeze, revealing the white safety pants under her skirt, which happened to be seen by Xinjie.

"What are you looking at?" Nanali noticed Xinjie's eyes and asked.

Xinjie turned his head and stopped talking. He is an honest man and doesn't want to lie, but he is not a fool. He knows that there will be no good results in this situation.

Although he has no idea and is as calm as ever, I don't know if Nanali will think so, so it's better not to talk in order to avoid trouble.

"Warning you, don't look at your eyes next time." Nanali stared at Xinjie fiercely and led the horse to the advanced hole. The artificially chiseled cave was relatively low, and people could not get in on horseback. What's more, Nanali was tall and taller than some men. Xinjie also said without saying anything, ignoring Nanali's warning and following her into the cave.

As soon as you enter the cave, a damp smell comes to your face. The sound of ticking water echoes in the cave. It can be seen that the cave is very empty and quiet at the same time.

"The monsters here are fire spiders and Slimes. They are both dark guys. Be careful of being attacked by them." Nanali whispered to Xinjie.

The visibility in the dark cave is very low. In order not to disturb the nearby demons, Nanali was very close to Xinjie when she spoke. Xinjie smelled the faint fragrance of women on Nanali, and his heart fluttered slightly and nodded.

This time, Nanali did not feel strange, and her horse also walked forward gently, as if she had been spiritual.

Because Nanali has been here before, she knows the road inside the cave, which greatly shortens the process of the two. After all, the map in Xinjie's hand does not have the route inside the cave.

"It's on the second floor. You can go there through the front fence."

Neither of them spoke, but they didn't meet a demon clan, so they came to the second floor. At this time, Nanali whispered to Xinjie.
