Chapter 67: A New Adventure

  Not long after I recovered from my injuries, I packed up and bid farewell to Soreya. Frey saw me off as I left the forest.

  I gently kissed Freya's face and said, "Freya, I'm leaving. When I return from the ruins, I'll come to pick you up, and then we'll go to the floating city of Larsson together. Wait for me."

  Frey nodded obediently: "You come pick me up early."

  Hesitating for a moment, Furei asked: "Don't you really want me to go with you? Having one more person to help is always good. My wood-element magic has a very good healing effect, although it's not as powerful as the priest's healing technique, but my self-defense ability is much stronger than theirs."

  I shook my head and said, "That Aiven guy always calls me to places that are very dangerous, I don't want to take you on an adventure. If I'm alone, maybe I can escape from danger, but with one more person, it's hard for me to take care of your safety."

  Furei gently hugged me and said: "It's so dangerous, let's not go."

  I smiled and said: "I promised Evan that I would go, if I don't go it won't be good, don't worry, nothing will happen, as soon as I come out from there I'll come pick you up, don't worry."

  "Frey was still worried and said: 'Then you have to be careful with everything, don't forget, I'm waiting for you to come back here.'"

  After comforting Freya for half a day, she finally reluctantly persuaded her to leave.

  I let out a sigh and watched Freya's back disappear into the forest.

  "So reluctant to part with her, why not marry her first? I knew you'd be able to charm even the girls from the Spirit Clan. Sometimes I'm really jealous of you." A wicked voice sounded behind me.

  "You brought me to such a dangerous place, deceiving me. If I were to marry her and unfortunately die, wouldn't this world have one more widow? I'm not as evil as you think, I really came back to marry her." I said irritably, no need to say, the owner of this evil voice was Aiven, who always appeared around me like a ghost.

  "It's not that dangerous, I'm also afraid of death myself. What's the point of doing something hopeless? Don't worry, don't worry, I've already been to that place before, and I know what kind of dangers there are. I won't let you die so easily. If you died, wouldn't all the beauties in the world cry themselves to death? But anyway, I'm glad you could make it as promised." Evan appeared in front of me with a smile, leading two horses.

  I didn't bother to respond to him, I know his personality, the more you explain, the more he gets worked up, if you ignore him, it's actually nothing. I took the reins from Evan's hands and said irritably: "Say, where are we going this time?"

  Evan and I walked side by side: "The place we're going to this time is an ancient ruin, the capital city of a kingdom 3,000 years ago. It was once a very large city, but later that kingdom was destroyed, and the city was abandoned overnight. There is a secret treasure house under the city, according to intelligence, in addition to a large number of treasures, there is also a dagger, this dagger is the legendary "God-killing Blade", it's the dream of countless assassins."

  "A place like this, how did you find it and nobody else knows?" I asked in wonder.

  "It's thanks to you," Evan said with a smile.

  "What does this have to do with me?" I asked in surprise.

  "Uh, last time I was trying to lure away the undead mage Shude, I enraged him and he abandoned you to chase after me. Of course, I wasn't his match, so I also found a boat and escaped onto the sea. After drifting for several days, I finally managed to shake off Shude, but perhaps it's my bad luck that just as I thought I had escaped, I encountered a storm. I struggled in the storm for four or five days, and fortunately didn't get sunk by the huge waves, but the mast of my boat was blown off by the strong winds, and the boat could only drift with the current. Like this, I drifted again for several more days, until my boat was carried to a sea island by the currents. When I arrived on the island, oh well, it was a huge city ruin. I did some initial exploration of the place and discovered that treasure trove, but the treasure trove had powerful magical beasts guarding it, as well as many magical mechanisms. You know, I don't understand magic, and looking at my water and food supplies, they weren't enough either, so I could only give up on continuing to explore, find materials to repair my boat, and come look for you. However, on the way back, I recorded all the coordinates and stuff, so it'll be easier next time." Evan nodded and said.

  "So that's what happened before you dragged me to the Dark Elf capital to steal things, huh? Why didn't you drag me here first for such an important relic?" I asked.

  "On the one hand, this dagger I'm after has the property of absorbing life energy, which would be beneficial for deciphering the mechanisms of this ruin and fighting against the guardian beast. On the other hand, if you can even escape from the pursuit of the dark elves, then I can feel at ease bringing you to this abandoned place. After all, I don't know much about your abilities yet." Evan said with an awkward smile.

  I suddenly realized: "So you've been testing me all along, you despicable person, everything was your design, wasn't it?"

  "Evan hastily comforted me, saying: "Nonsense, nonsense, you should thank me instead. Look, if you hadn't followed me to the forest, how would you have met such a beautiful elf girl? It's all fate, isn't it?"

  I grunted and stopped paying attention to him, making it sound like everything was his credit. This guy is not just any ordinary shameless person.

  Then the two of us fell silent, continuing on our journey. After a while, I suddenly thought of something and asked seriously: "Ayrin, tell me the truth, is this trip more dangerous than last time...?"

  Evan looked at me and said: "To be honest with you, if you don't go, I'll definitely die if I go alone. Can you bear to watch me go to my death?"

  "Alright, alright, I know the answer now. You're a jinx, without you I don't know how much heartache I would have saved myself from. Now I really regret knowing you." I said with a roll of my eyes.

  "Regret it? Cut the crap, would your life be so wonderful without me? Would your love blossom everywhere without me?" Ivan said with great disdain.

  "Get out, where is the flower of love blooming everywhere? You evil person!" I lifted my foot and kicked his horse's buttocks hard. The horse was startled, let out a long whinny, and rushed forward with great force.

  Evan, who was caught off guard, almost fell off his horse. I burst out laughing, whipped my horse and chased after Evan. What's the point of worrying? Let's welcome our new adventure journey...
