"Eric, Leanne, do you want a drink?"
An inappropriate voice suddenly sounded, and Jin Jin and Li An quickly separated and turned their backs to each other, their embarrassed eyes not knowing where to look.
Maria came over carrying a water bag, her slender figure swaying in the firelight like a beautiful picture.
Seeing that both of them were blushing, Maria asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Jin Jin smiled dryly and said: "It's a bit hot after walking for a day, so I won't drink any wine. You can share it with them. They have been running around for a few days, so they can drink some wine so they can fall asleep."
Maria chuckled and said: "I have thought of it a long time ago and have already distributed it to them. This is specially left for you."
Jin Jin said "haha" twice, turned around and asked: "Li'an, do you want to drink?"
Lianne didn't dare to look at him and just shook her head.
"Then I won't drink anymore." Jin Jin said.
"Okay then, I'll keep it for you first. If you want to drink it, you can ask me to get it." Maria smiled sweetly. She suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I've already arranged your tent for you." Okay, the inside is covered with soft camel skin, which Uncle Foggang secretly collected. I found it when I was helping him pack his belongings, so I took it with me in the luggage. It can be used now. If you are sleepy, just Go and try to see if you feel comfortable."
"Maria, I'm not that pretentious. I don't need such luxurious things. You should keep them for yourself." Jin Jin declined.
Maria shook her head and said: "You are the Elf King now. With so many people watching, you must look a little noble. You can't be like us. This will make them lose their respect for you."
Jin Jin scratched his head: "Well...well, thank you for your hard work. Li'an and I still have something to discuss, so you can go over first."
"That's right! As you command, my king." Maria chuckled, turned around and left lightly.
What Jin Jin didn't know was that the moment Maria turned her back to him, her eyes dimmed instantly.
In fact, she had been observing Jin Jin and Li'an from a distance. When she saw that the atmosphere was not right, she immediately picked up a water bag and came over.
She likes Jin Jin, which is something that even her uncle Foggang Mu can tell at a glance.
Ever since Jin Jin rescued her from two orc soldiers, every night when she closed her eyes, she would picture Jin Jin's appearance when he lifted up his armor's mask, just like the prince sent by the Elf Queen to save her.
But Jin Jin seemed to only have Li'an in his eyes.
It was obvious that except for her fighting ability, she was not inferior to Li An in all aspects, and even far surpassed her in terms of gentleness and carefulness. She didn't understand why Jin Jin turned a blind eye to her.
If it was her previous temperament, she might have given up long ago, but now she doesn't want to. Uncle Foggangmu gave his life in exchange for her freedom. She can't go back to the old path, she wants to fight for what belongs to her!
She said those words just now on purpose to remind Leanne that Eric promised Uncle Foggum that he would always take care of her!
Although Jin Jin is an expert in love, he is a man after all. He would not know about the twists and turns here. He only thinks that Maria is a careful and kind-hearted little girl. After seeing Maria walking away, Jin Jin still wanted to renew their relationship. He gently held Li'an's shoulders and whispered: "Li'an, what I just said was true..."
Unexpectedly, Li An slapped his wolf claws away fiercely, turned around and said coldly: "You told me not to touch me without my consent. Are you looking for death?"
Jin Jin was stunned. What happened to this girl? Wasn't it fine just now?
Seeing Jin Jin's expression of the idiot next door, Lianne felt a little irritated: "King Eric, please go back to your people. I'm going to sleep in a tree."
You are the high-ranking elf king, and you have Maria, a beautiful, generous, gentle and considerate "Queen-to-be" by your side. In the future, there will be more elven wives and concubines to accompany you for eternity. Why should you put your thoughts on me? Such a beast spirit tribesman with a lifespan of only two hundred years?
Jin Jin wanted to say something else, but he saw that Li'an had climbed up the branch with her back to him, so he had to give up in frustration.
Just when he turned around and was about to leave, a terrifying roar came from the distance, shaking the entire earth.
All the elves were startled, hearing that the sound was not too far away from here!
Jin Jin immediately took out his dagger and looked in the direction of the sound source with vigilance. Meanwhile, Leanne jumped down from the tree.
"You stay here, I'll go see what's going on!"
After Li An left a word, she quickly dodged into the jungle.
Of course, Jin Jin was not willing to let Li An take risks alone.
"Ka Pu, arrange for soldiers to be on guard. Don't act rashly until I come back!"
After the explanation, he chased Leanne's figure and disappeared into the darkness.
...
Li An groped through the grass and lurked behind a big tree. Not far ahead, she saw a huge flying dragon with folded wings walking in the forest. Its huge body knocked down many trees, and it bit the front of it. The big tree suddenly pulled, and the big tree was uprooted and thrown aside.
Sitting on the back of the flying dragon was a thin lizard-faced orc who was shooting forward with a crossbow. He laughed wantonly from time to time and seemed to enjoy it.
Looking in the direction of the orc's gaze, two thin elves, one tall and one short, were staggering and struggling to escape.
The tall, handsome boy looked about fifteen years old, and the short one looked about six or seven years old. At this time, the young man was protecting the little one and using the trees to avoid those arrows. Although they looked embarrassed, the two of them were not injured.
Of course, this may be related to the fact that the dragon-riding orc deliberately played tricks on them, and it was not in a hurry to kill.
When Li An saw this scene, her eyes narrowed unconsciously. Just when she was hesitating whether to take action to save her, Jin Jin's voice suddenly sounded beside her.
"That young man can obviously run away on his own, but he never leaves the little one. Their relationship is quite good."
Li An glanced at Jin Jin: "Why are you following me here? Aren't you afraid that your tribe will be attacked by surprise?"
Jin Jin smiled and said, "Survival of the fittest. If they have to protect me everywhere, they won't be able to survive long in this dangerous world."
This was true. Lianne snorted with her nose and did not refute him.
Jin Jin touched Li An with his elbow: "You want to save them?"
Li An hesitated and said: "We have this plan, but this may expose our whereabouts and cause unnecessary trouble."
After saying that, she looked at Jin Jin: "They are also elves, don't you save them?"
Jin Jin said with an indifferent expression: "I am not the savior. There are so many elves who are suffering in Middle-earth. Can I save them all?"
Leanne fell silent.
At this moment, the little elf suddenly stepped on the ground and fell into the mud pit, turning into a embarrassed little clay figure, which made the orc laugh.
It smiled, but its hands were not idle. It raised the crossbow and pointed it at the little boy and decisively pulled the trigger. An arrow shot towards the little boy with a "whoosh" sound. The tall boy's expression changed and he immediately rushed forward to protect him. As for the little boy, the arrow penetrated directly into the boy's calf. The pain caused him to roll around in the mud puddle. He clutched his calf and looked in pain. Although he didn't scream out, there were many beads of sweat on his forehead.
The little one screamed in fright, hugged the boy and started crying.
The orc let out another ugly laugh. It seemed that it had had enough fun. Its eyes showed a fierce light and its crossbow pointed at the boy.
Li An's eyes were full of anger, and she was about to step forward to stop him, but Jin Jin rushed out in one stride, leaving behind a hearty laugh.
"But since you want to save me, then just save me!"
