Chapter 239: The female night devil prepares to stay. What
appears in front of you is a... warm cave.
Yes, a "warm" "cave". It seems difficult to connect these two words, but it is true.
The moss and dust in the cave have been cleaned up by the owner here. Even the stalactites seem to have been carefully wiped with clean water. The roots of the trees growing on the rock walls have been artificially pruned and turned into decorations inside the cave. , adding to the sentiment of life.
A circle of candles was lit around the rock wall, allowing people to take in everything in front of them without any hindrance. The light was just right so it wouldn't hurt the eyes, and at the same time... it created a strange atmosphere.
A curvaceous and graceful figure turned her back to Lann. She was kneeling on the ground, busy with something.
Not far from her, there was a young man lying.
It can be judged from his dress that he is a Druid apprentice; from his steady breathing and rising and falling chest, he is safe; and from his leisurely expression and slightly raised corners of his mouth, he Not only safe, but even happy.
Lan wrinkled his nose.
"Now that we're here, why don't we have a good chat?" The figure with his back to Lan suddenly said, "I also have to 'thank you' for helping me drive away the wolves. If I had to do it myself, it would have to cost a lot of money. It’s time to work hard.”
Lann was wearing steel greaves, and no matter how lightly he stepped, there would still be a slight sound. Theoretically, this is a sound that human ears cannot distinguish, but it is obvious that the person with his back to Lan is not a mortal.
The slim figure who spoke turned around, revealing her upper body in extremely "natural" clothing -
no clothing at all, not a single piece of fabric in sight.
Every arc and every color on the skin appeared in front of Lan without any concealment. Under the looming candlelight inside the cave, the mountainous areas cast some shadows.
But those shadows still couldn't cover anything. Instead, they lifted up the warm and humid atmosphere in the cave even more like hot oil adding water.
Even though Lan had already experienced the training of the Brochlon tree spirits, the tip of his nose still felt warm.
Although the dryads dress "naturally", they are as cold as ice springs in an empty valley. They will not have any emotional fluctuations towards the opposite sex, and even the act of increasing the number of tribes is completely out of obligation.
And the "nature" of the figure in front of me, how should I put it... is the kind of nature that "spring is here, and it is the season when all things revive."
She is indeed a night devil!
Lann looked around, seeming to be praising the layout of the cave, and said meaningfully: "It's really good."
Suddenly, Lann felt the black magic scimitar behind him shaking.
But after seeing Lan emerge from the shadows of the cave, the Night Stalker was shocked. Although Lann has lion eyes that are different in color and shape from the amber cat eyes, the badge on his chest and the two swords on his back are still very iconic.
"Demon hunter?" The female night demon took two steps back, "Are you here to accept the commission to hunt me?"
Her expression was pitiful, and her voice was trembling. If it were an ordinary warrior, this scene alone would It makes them unable to draw their swords.
Lan sighed and shook his head: "No, I'm just here to find someone. And it was Gede who told me about your existence. I'm his friend. He didn't use a sword on you, so I won't hurt you either." You."
Unexpectedly, the Night Demon's mood did not ease much after hearing Gede's name. She was no longer afraid, and her face turned to disgust.
"That big witcher? Did you come here after listening to his story? Then you may be disappointed. Let me say it again: I will not spend the night with the witcher, even out of gratitude!" The
female The Night Demon said angrily: "Your bodies are covered with the blood of the Horned Demon and others of my kind, which makes me sick!" With that
said, the female Night Demon put her hands on her hips and strode forward unsteadily: "You... "
The female night devil didn't finish her words. Because at this moment, Lann walked into the place illuminated by candlelight.
The armor on his body was slightly reflective, and the Great Griffin cloak behind him fluttered slightly as he moved.
The blond hair seemed brighter than the light of the candle in the cave, and the handsome lines on his face cast clear shadows.
The Night Demon was stunned for a moment. She saw the visible parts of Lan's body, and seemed to also see some places that could not be seen.
She spoke again, this time with hesitation in her tone: "You..."
...
Lan once heard House mention that when they were in Toussaint, he and Ace's team encountered the Night Stalker, and even... Under the guidance of the other party, Thomas Moreu's grave was finally found, completing the task given to the attendants by Lan.
But Lann did not encounter the opponent. At that time, he had already penetrated deep into the ruins of Thomas Moreu's laboratory. It was already a year later when he came out and went directly back to Cintra to fight through the portal of Geron.
However, Lan still heard House describe the appearance of the female night demon: delicate and attractive facial features, a mountainous figure, brown skin as smooth as silk, simple and provocative clothes, and unidentified white paint lines, imposing. Mysterious and charming.
To sum it up in House's vowed words: "I quickly observed her whole body for the purpose of combat preparation, and I have to admit that she is more dizzy than the most expensive service in the Rose Garden. It is not surprising that Toussaint The knights were even willing to secretly disobey the Duchess's orders to protect her!"
In addition, House still had doubts: "The night demon originally wanted Ace to stay in exchange for telling us the location of the mission target. . But when he knew that we were your attendants, especially after hearing your last name, his attitude immediately changed, saying that your 'power' was extraordinary, and he quickly gave us help." "She also said, not long
after I will come to visit you."
After listening to House's report, Lann has been prepared and prepared. It's just that several years have passed since the attendants met the Night Demon, but the Night Demon who promised to visit has never been seen.
Considering the current situation between the north and the south, perhaps the journey is too dangerous.
Lann didn't expect to meet another female night devil in Skellige now.
The temperament of this female night devil was completely different from the one House and the others described as encountering. If House and the others encountered a Gu being who was more proficient and seductive than the top card in the Rose Garden, a bright red rose; then the female night devil opposite Lan now made Lan feel like ——A "pure" mountain elf with strange hobbies?
Lann thinks so.
The horns on her head are even cow horns. Combined with her black hair and snow-white skin, she even gives people a charming and naive look.
It may be inconsistent to use a small white flower to describe the Night Devil, but this is the temperament of the Night Devil in front of Lann at this moment - although this little white flower is covered with mud, it still gives people the feeling of being dirty. A sense of innocence that I don’t even know I have.
Perhaps this is what Lan En said in his previous life was like the "wind of pure desire".
There are many such contradictory existences in this world, such as the fairy in the lake that Lan once encountered. In the legend of the poem, when facing a real knight of the Five Virtues, the Lake Fairy will not only give the opponent the sacred Lake Lady Sword, but also use her body as a reward to make the knights intoxicated.
In the legend of poetry, the Sword of the Lake Lady has had more than one holder, and obviously the Lady of the Lake has rewarded more than one knight - but this does not prevent the Lady of the Lake from still being the favorite of all knights and art creators. The sacred, pure and beautiful existence in the world.
The female night devil in front of Lann is a bit like the kind of person who likes to reward people but can still maintain a pure temperament. Although compared with the fairy in the lake, her "rewarding" temperament is a bit heavier, but "pure" The feeling is still there.
And this kind of temperament may be more able to attract a specific group of people than the female night devil in Toussaint...
...
The druid apprentice who fell on the ground and was sleeping soundly woke up suddenly.
He looked around blankly, as if looking for something, and then he saw Lan, who was facing away from him.
Thinking of the keywords "witcher" and "hunting" that he had just vaguely heard in his sleep, the druid apprentice immediately jumped up.
"Who, who wants to hurt my Nanomi!" The Druid apprentice pointed at Lan and shouted loudly, "Is it you, you mutant monster..." The
Druid apprentice's protective words suddenly stopped. Stop, because Lann has turned around now. Those emotionless lion eyes seemed to be looking at a dead person.
How have apprentices who have been studying in the Oak Ring and have not yet begun their experience experienced this? No matter how crazy or warlike a Skellige man is, he cannot project such a look.
The druid apprentice immediately trembled, and the tone of his words immediately began to change 180 degrees: "This... sir?" He looked
at the family crest on Lan's chest, guessing that the other party must be It's a knight: "Harming defenseless women... is against morality. And Naomi has never hurt anyone..."
Lann glanced at the apprentice expressionlessly, and then looked at the person named "Nanomie" The female night demon glanced at it and said:
"I was entrusted by Master Fetov of the Oak Ring to find his missing apprentice. I heard from my companion that there was a female night demon here - and the druid who accompanied the female night demon. Apprentice, so come here to understand the situation." As
soon as Lan finished speaking, the druid apprentice jumped up: "What? The mentor sent someone to find me? How long have I been here?"
Very good, look. This guy is the apprentice Fetov is looking for, and it takes no effort to get him. Lan nodded. Fortunately, he had just controlled his temper and didn't draw his sword to chop the opponent.
The female night devil rolled her eyes at the Druid apprentice: "It's been one month and twelve days." Hearing this, the
Druid apprentice suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning: "What? I thought it was only a few days ago. ...I just want to leave in one day, and leave in one day..."
Naomi, the Night Demon, shook her head, turned around and explained to Lan: "Those old-fashioned old men always think that I will put a curse on the young people, but in fact the boys have come here on their own. I even have to use magic to drive them away and let them go home obediently." Then she pointed to the
apprentice: "He is the only one who has a strong influence on the spirit . The magic resistance is relatively high, and I don't want to spend too much effort, so I let him sleep here first. I knew that there would be experienced druids coming to the door, and I didn't want to provoke them. I plan to move to another place to live."
The Night Demon's words were like sharp arrows piercing into the Druid apprentice's heart, almost causing him to lose strength in his legs and fall to his knees.
Lann looked at the neat cave. When he first came in, he saw the Night Demon kneeling on the ground with her back to him, not knowing what she was doing. Only now did he realize that she was packing things. It looked like she was really going to move. .
And the things that the Night Demon packed up turned out to be flowers.
"Are you growing herbs?"
Seeing Lan's curious eyes, the Night Demon took the initiative to explain: "No, it's just flowers. I am the Forest Night Demon, and I collect flowers to facilitate nectar." Lan raised her eyebrows
. , there has never been a classification of Night Demons in the Monster Manual. This is indeed the first time he has heard of the name "Forest Night Demon".
"And..." The Night Demon smiled, "They are beautiful, aren't they? Even monsters will yearn for beautiful things. Are you looking for herbs? I... am happy to share." The Night Demon said
this He didn't make any other moves at that time, he just smiled. This also made the druid apprentice on the side who was originally indignant at her words stunned again, seeming to have forgotten his return date again.
The Night Demon's attitude was very eager, but Lan frowned.
"You were disgusted with me when you just saw my badge and swords, but now you are 'willing to share'?" Lann moved his fingers slightly, "I want to know the reason." "Because I know you
are Who?" The Night Demon covered her mouth and chuckled, "You are Lann Lannister Leanne, right?"
Looking at Lan's surprised expression, the Night Demon smiled as if her prank had succeeded. His whole body began to tremble: "I have a sister in Toussaint. She once told me: There was a knight named 'Lei Anlun' who appeared in that seemingly peaceful kingdom. The knight's family crest was a lion. ."
One is in the Toussaint Kingdom in the south, and the other is in the primitive jungle overseas. How do they communicate with each other?
"Don't look at me with such a surprised expression." The female night devil said playfully, "I just like living in the forest, it doesn't mean that I have really become a country girl. You have to know that we female night devils ——But it is normal for travelers who have come to this world since the celestial spheres converged to have some abilities that are beyond your understanding." "At the same time,
we also have the ability to know some things that others don't know..."
The Night Demon Seemingly seeing through everything: "For example, the meaning of the surname 'Lei Anlun'. Young demon hunter, there is unimaginable power hidden in your blood." ... When speaking of this
,
Lan Suddenly, he felt the gryphon badge on his chest begin to tremble slightly.
The night devil in front of me is using magic!
Lann immediately drew out the Lake Lady's Sword, and the golden runes shone brightly in the dark cave.
And his action was like a signal, and the black magic scimitar behind him also lit up with emerald flames at the same time, passing through Lann like wind, heading towards the female night demon.
The Night Demon's face suddenly changed when she saw this. Facing the oncoming emerald flames, her long and strong hooves kicked hard to crush large rocks. The accompanying strong reaction force also made her retreat in an instant. The other end of the cave.
However, the emerald-colored flames were beautiful, but they clung to the Night Demon's rules of action like a gangrene attached to her bones, showing that she would not give up until she achieved her goal.
"Ha!" The Night Demon laughed angrily, her body distorted with invisible waves again, and then the air in front of her was suddenly compressed, as if a huge transparent barrier was turned into a cannon, directed towards the emerald flames Go away from oppression.
With a "pop", the flames in the air suddenly turned into sparks all over the sky, which was really beautiful.
But then an elegant figure emerged from the flames as if she was dancing at a banquet. Her skirt and veil were floating in the darkness, but her hands were filled with murderous intent.
The body suddenly became illusive, ignoring the oppressive wind wall and passing directly through it. In the horrified eyes of the female night demon, she approached the opponent, and then solidified again, with red light flashing all over her body.
"Demon spirit?" Night Demon screamed, "No, it's a soul with special power!" "
Clang" Night Demon stretched her hands forward, and the place where they collided with Alice made a sound of steel collision. But soon she flew out again, leaving deep slash marks on her arms.
The eyes of the soul in the painting behind the veil have never been so cold, and she is holding the weapon in her hand in an extremely awkward way. She didn't know any martial arts, so she just relied on her strong physical strength to smash out the iron bar in her hand.
Lann touched his back as if feeling something. He didn't know when the black magic scimitar disappeared, and now only a scabbard remained.
...
"Stop, stop!" The female night devil slapped the rock wall hard like a rag bag, and before her body fell down, she couldn't wait to shout, "I have no ill intentions, I just cast a drowsy spell on that boy. It's just a curse, he shouldn't hear our subsequent conversation!"
Alice and the Night Stalker had already fought for two rounds, but everything happened in a flash of lightning.
It was only then that a sound came belatedly -
"Plop", and the Druid apprentice fell to the ground.
Lan frowned and looked back at the apprentice who was sleeping on the ground again. Nowadays, his perception of chaotic energy is no longer what it used to be, and he can detect that the spell cast by the Night Demon just now was not directed towards him, but was just a sleeping spell aimed at outsiders.
This move also made her meaning very clear: I know your secret, but I have no ill intentions towards you, and even kept people who shouldn't know the secret away from our conversation.
This is a kindness.
Although Alice held the knife in an awkward posture, she held it tightly. At this moment, she did not relax after hearing the words of the Night Demon, but she still looked at Lan and asked for his opinion.
Lan En shook his head slightly, indicating that he should be calm.
Seeing all this, the Night Demon was relieved.
She sat down on the ground and looked at the two blood marks on her arms distressedly: "Although I can cure them, it will take a lot of time!" Although the other party seemed to be showing a friendly
attitude, Lan did not take back his words. Instead, she slowly approached the opponent with her long sword and asked: "You know who I am, and you used magic to put that apprentice to sleep. What is your intention?" The Night
Demon looked at Lann's Sword of the Lake Lady, First he showed his admiration for the beautiful things, and then expressed his disdain for the person behind the sword without answering:
"That Lake Nymph, did you start so early?"
Lan En frowned.
Fortunately, the other party obediently began to answer his questions before he could make his next move.
The female night devil put her hands on her waist: "I heard that your Cintra is recruiting people recently, and even the dryads of Brokilon have joined you? It just so happens that I have to change my residence recently - I also want to go to Cintra. Terra!"
Lann's fingers holding the sword softened slightly.
