“Hmm, just a bit further and we’ll see the Bedivere-Gian Forest, and beyond it is Edoton’s Blessing, home of Lilu and me.” Dong Quan said with a giggle, “I can’t wait to tell my friends all about this adventure!”
“Shouldn’t it be a lesson?” Elothysia said with a slightly reproachful tone, “If we hadn’t come by, you two could have lost your lives, or even encountered something worse than death.”
“Something worse than death?” Lilu turned curiously, “What’s that?”
“Uh, just some really scary stuff!” the Succubus Paladin said with an awkward expression, apparently not wanting to appear too knowledgeable, “Do you still remember how those stinky, dirty Trolls treated you? In any case, good kids shouldn’t wander off, got it?”
“Yes!” the two Aira children nodded vigorously, their faces showing a scared expression. Children are like that; they may not take in the reasoning, but a memorable beating can still make them remember some lessons.
The group continued on, and it wasn’t long before a lush oak forest appeared ahead. Lancelot looked up to see dappled shadows among which a gentle mist swirled, mysterious magical glimmers lit up deep in the woods intermittently, and faint music seemed to stealthily enter their ears, sounding both like someone plucking a harp and like the tinkling of a creek.
“Wow, this place looks nice,” Alamir said in surprise, “It’s exactly my ideal...”
Before he could finish his sentence, a javelin suddenly whistled through the air towards them. Lancelot, quick as lightning, drew Frostslash and deflected the javelin aside.
“An enemy?!” Bruto tumbled off the horse, immediately shielding his body with his shield, swiftly putting on the helmet hanging behind his neck, and then cautiously peeking out from behind the shield to search for the enemy.
The reactions of the others were similar; everyone quickly entered combat mode, everyone except Lancelot.
“Is this how you welcome guests?” he shouted towards the direction of the forest, easily discerning the attacker’s identity from the emitted aura, but the Human Knight believed there must be some misunderstanding.
“Let those two children go!”
“Absolutely correct,” the Dwarf had already slung his shield and armor back on, and said with his arms crossed.
“And you killed Valasti, that demon lurking in the Miasma Swamp?”
“To be precise, it was a Dark Weaver, a creature from the shadowy plane that looks like a combination of a spider and an octopus,” Kalalin explained, “The last time we saw it, it was chopped into two pieces, as dead as can be.”
“And then you escaped from a pursuit of twelve Seducers, personally sent by the Mother of Demons?”
“Indeed there were twelve Seducers, but the part about the Mother of Demons is just speculation,” Lancelot nodded, “I successfully misled those creatures into believing their mission had failed.”
“And you, not only did you save Dong Quan’s life, but also...” the Flame Angel looked at Elothysia, swallowing hard, “in the Queen’s name, you’re not only a kind succubus but also a Paladin?”
“My name is Elothysia,” the succubus elegantly curtsied on horseback, “at your service.”
“You sure ask a lot of questions,” Bruto remarked displeasedly, “I’m still waiting for your apology.”
“If things are as you say, then I do owe you an apology,” the Aira named Cumberland bowed deeply, “I’m very sorry, but this... this is truly incredible, I initially thought...”
“That we kidnapped these two kids?” the Dwarf interjected rudely, “Please, can’t you at least tell their hands aren’t tied? If it weren’t for my brother’s deft skills, someone really might have gotten hurt by your javelin, and then I’d have to be pulling my hammer out of your face.”
