At some point, taller wooden towers were erected around the camp to broaden the sentry's field of vision.
Looks very professional.
Occasionally, tourists who came from the mountain road and passed by this place were persuaded to leave by the royal guards and school teachers.
Driven away by the guards who looked very impressive, other teams that originally wanted to camp here had no choice but to leave in anger.
Although I feel a bit sorry, overall safety is still very guaranteed.
After reluctantly rejecting Lawrence's card game, Wayne checked around the camp several times to make sure there were no major problems, and then he firmly remembered the location of Chrissy and Song Li's tents and returned to his own tent.
Entering a meditative state, the magic power fluctuations around him clearly left their mark on his mind.
"... He is truly a genius. He never forgets to practice meditation even when he is away from home." He heard someone say this.
It seemed that in order to give him a quiet space, the other two boys who were assigned to live with him deliberately avoided him and went out to chat with other boys.
——No one suspected that I wanted to eavesdrop?
It seems that the impression I have left on everyone is still very firm and reliable.
Wayne silently focused his perception around Song Li's tent.
I have to say that perception is simply a magical skill, especially after it has been improved by myself, its efficiency has doubled. This distance did not affect him at all from what was being said in the tent.
The only unpleasant thing is that when the opponent's strength exceeds yours by too much, it is easy for the person involved to notice.
But for Wayne, there is no need to worry about this.
Instead of making noise with the others, Geli was staying alone in the tent, sitting on the simple bedding in a daze.
"Are you really not going to play games with everyone? It took a lot of effort to come out..." Another girl asked in a low voice.
Ge Li was silent for a while and then said, "You can go alone. I'm tired and want to have a good rest."
"Is that so? I always feel that you, Miss Songli, are not happy today." The girl seemed to believe it.
"Forget it...Actually, I don't really want to join in the fun, so I'll just stay with you."
Song Li sighed softly, but said nothing more.
There was silence in the tent for a moment.
But soon, the silence was broken by curious questions.
"Miss Songli, is there a boy you like?" The clear voice was mixed with excitement.
It feels like her roommate is the type who talks a lot...
Ge Li answered with obvious reluctance, and after a while he answered: "I did before."
"Eh? What about now?" the girl asked hurriedly.
"Now...I don't know anymore."
Even if you don't really see her face, it's not hard to imagine how lost she is at this moment.
"It seems, very complicated." Finally, the girl defined it this way.
"Yes." Ge Li did not deny it.
"——Even I sometimes feel that it's weird to be like this."
Perhaps because Song Li had lowered her guard a little at this time, she suddenly asked: "If...if you fell in love with a boy, would you take the initiative to approach him?"
"Yes!" the girl replied without thinking. "What if you don't seize the opportunity and someone else takes it away?"
"Then what if it has been taken away...or rather, it never belonged to you?" she asked again.
The girl thought for a while, her tone slightly uncertain. "If you can't make him fall in love with you even after you try your best, then you have no choice but to wish him happiness from a distance..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly laughed again.
"That's why I can say it so easily because I haven't met anyone I really like yet, right?"
Song Li was speechless.
…
Wayne eavesdropped for a long time, but except for a few emotional topics at the beginning, the two chatted later on about insignificant things.
Until the evening entertainment ended and everyone went back to their tents to sleep, Wayne did not gain any useful information.
"Classmate Wayne... aren't you going to sleep?"
When the other two people in the tent came back and saw Wayne again, who had been maintaining a meditative posture, they were left with nothing but heartfelt admiration.
"No, I'm used to meditating at night. You can just sleep by yourself." He closed his eyes and said.
"Ah, that's right..."
The two of them carefully lay down on the other side, not daring to say a word to disturb him.
The campground, which was noisy just now, gradually became quiet.
While Wayne was meditating, wisps of magic power leaked out of his body and spread around several tents.
The moon is at the zenith.
The silvery moonlight shines on the treetops and on the mountain roads, like a hazy veil covering everything in the world.
Below the seemingly endless mountain path made of layers of stones, the sound of stepping on the stone steps came, which was particularly clear in the quiet mountain.
The guards guarding one side of the mountain road had stern expressions on their faces.
Three travelers dressed in typical traveling attire and carrying huge luggage appeared from the shadows.
"Stop." A guard stepped forward with a vigilant expression.
Under the moonlight, he showed the special permit he had obtained in the provincial capital, and whispered: "We have temporarily requisitioned this area. If you want to go to the top of the mountain, please take the cliff path on the other side."
"Ah... we have worked so hard to come all the way just to catch a glimpse of the moonlight on the Maple Mountain here. How can you be so unreasonable?" one person said.
"That's right! We three brothers have already chosen this platform. We have also heard that people often sleep here, and there are no other restrictions. What, you just want to take it as your own?" Another person also said.
The guard's attitude was still indifferent: "We are only temporarily requisitioning you for two days. If you are really unwilling to turn back, you can come back in two days."
"That's unreasonable! We should leave for the next scenic spot in two days!" A third person also said anxiously.
The guard flashed the sword at his waist: "If you don't leave, I will have to ask you to stay in prison."
The iron light, like frost, was reflected impartially onto the eyes of the person closest to him. The person was suddenly stabbed by the light, and the person subconsciously raised his hand to block it.
"...Forget it, brother, let's go back first." A person standing behind him pulled the hem of his clothes.
Seeing that the other party was so arrogant, the three of them had no choice but to turn around and leave in despair.
Looking at the backs of the three of them, the guard snorted with disdain.
If you recognize the form early, wouldn't you be taught a lesson?
What a few idiots with no eyesight.
His mind relaxed a little, and he removed his hand from the hilt of the sword.
However, at this moment, a harsh scream came from the side of the cliff behind the camp.
"Take—take—"
Several arrows fell like meteors, and a burst of fire shot into the sky.
"There's an assassin!"
A shout broke the silence in the camp.
