"call......"

Kelai, who had just been released from the dead zone, leaned on the tree trunk slightly tiredly.

He stretched out his slightly trembling hand, clenched and unclenched it.

It seemed that there was no difference from before, but she still noticed changes in herself.

The relapse of the demonic scale disease was progressing faster than she imagined.

According to Mr. Tinari, this seems to be called a rebound?

In short, she is now much slower than usual when drawing the bow.

"Ke Lai, how many times have I told you, just leave the matter of the Dead Zone to me. You can't do this again."

Tinari, who arrived belatedly following the hound, noticed Collet leaning against the tree trunk.

He stepped forward and scolded slightly angrily.

Taking into account Kelai's Demon Scale disease, Tinari has completely banned her from participating in matters related to the Dead Realm.

Just arrange simple forest patrol tasks for her.

But I never thought that this girl was unexpectedly stubborn and had taken the risk of solving the Dead Zone more than once while he was away.

If her condition worsens and she falls into the realm of death, I am afraid that King Daci Tree will not be able to save her even if he comes back to life.

"You can't just leave it alone, right?"

Cole forced a smile and said.

This sentence is what she often talks about, and Tinari often has no way to do anything to her.

According to her, she learned this from someone.

Maybe... he's the Foolish Executor mentioned by the Disciplinarian, right?

"Okay, leave the aftermath to me. You can go back first. The man who claims to be your friend is here again."

Tinari took out the dry food he had brought with him and said.

As for whether something would happen to Ke Lai on the way, he wasn't worried at all.

The ordinary animals in the forest could not hurt her at all.

As for the Gilded Brigade... Thanks to her, those mercenaries with bad intentions are rarely seen near Huacheng Guo.

Even if he did, his face would change drastically when he saw Ke Lai, and he would cover his lower back and run away in a hurry.

"Um."

Obediently taking the dry food from Tinari, Kelai adjusted his condition and followed the hound towards the direction of Huacheng City.

Where it connects to the giant abyss of strata, there is a lush rainforest.

This rainforest covers the entire eastern border of Sumeru and is called Daocheng Forest.

In the mysterious poems of the sages Xumi, they often compare Daochenglin to the troubled jungle where people who seek Taoism struggle to search.

But in the eyes of those who live in the forest, persistence and knowledge are the sources of all troubles.

Huacheng Guo is a Huacheng on the forest and a gathering place in Daocheng Forest.

It was originally a temporary resting place built by Xumi scholars in the rain forest. Now it is mainly stationed by rangers, and it can be regarded as a sizable town.

Kelai, a trainee ranger, currently lives in this place. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

The rangers have many tasks, including but not limited to checking road conditions, maintaining forest facilities, eliminating fire hazards, cleaning the Seven-Sky God statue, providing assistance to travelers and residents, and managing dead areas.

However, most of Kelai's tasks are the last two, and it was only recently changed to maintaining facilities and eliminating hidden dangers.

"Collet? It seems that Mr. Tinari has found you."

The ranger, who was followed by a hound, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kelai walking out of the jungle.

It was he who informed Tinari and Collet to govern the Dead Realm.

"Well, thank you Mr. Amir for your concern."

Kelai knew that he would be assigned to do simple forest patrol work, which had a lot to do with the ranger named Amir in front of him.

But she never resented him.

Because she understands that the other party does this simply because he cares about her.

"Next time, try to leave the matter of the Dead Zone to others. If it's somewhere else, Sagu can still help you. If it's the Dead Zone... it won't dare to enter."

Amir knelt down and touched the hound Sagu who ran over from Kelai, and Amir gave instructions.

These hounds he specially trained played a big role in forest patrol work.

For example, this time, it was him who led Tinari to Kelai.

"Don't worry, Mr. Amir, I know what's going on."

"By the way, did Mr. Tinari tell you? A friend of yours came over from Xumi City to look for you."

After giving the instructions, Amir seemed to have remembered something and spoke out.

"Friend from Xumi City? Is it that child?"

Ke Lai didn't have many friends in Xumi City. Apart from a Liyue woman he met by chance, he was just a cute little guy.

For some reason, the other party was very attached to her.

Even if she has left Xumi City and temporarily lives in Huacheng City.

From time to time, the other party would sneak over to meet her without telling her parents.

"Well, the clothes the child is wearing are not cheap. He must be a rich daughter of some master's family, right? Kelai, you must seize the opportunity."

Amir nodded and replied jokingly.

But this can be regarded as his advice to Kelai.

A serious disease like Demon Scale is fine in the early stage, but if you want to extend your life in the later stage, it will cost a lot of money.

If you can take the opportunity to have a relationship with the daughter of a rich family, you will be considered very lucky even if you can only lie in bed for the rest of your life.

"You are joking again."

When Ke Lai made friends with the other party, it was not for the sake of the other party's property at all.

Maybe it was just Bai Luo's arrogant behavior that made her subconsciously want to help every child who had lost hope.

Mobilizing the elemental energy, Kelai looked at the [Four-leaf Seal] in mid-air.

In Xumi, this four-leaf clover-shaped talisman has the function of rapid movement.

However, only those who can control elements can use it.

With the help of the four-leaf seal, Kelai swung to the front of his house and landed firmly on the ground.

"You're back?"

The young figure has been waiting in front of her house for a long time.

She sat obediently on the steps, with a fairy tale book on her lap.

"this is......"

Looking at the storybook open on the opponent's lap, Kelai was stunned for a moment.

This is a book called "Wind, Courage and Wings" that Amber gave to her before she left Mondstadt.

In addition to the sketches of calligraphy and painting that Bai Luo left for her at the beginning, this book has always been inspirational spiritual food for her.

The most important thing is that it has fewer words and more pictures, making it easy to read.

"I'm sorry that I read your books privately."

Closing the book in his hand, the young figure moved to the side to make way for Kelai.

Although her voice was very childish, her tone was very calm.

It seems that she is not an ignorant child, but a wise person who knows everything.

"Didn't I tell you? I will visit you when I have time. The road from Xumi to Huachengguo is very dangerous."

Kelai sat next to her and asked helplessly.

At this moment, she finally understood Tinari's mood.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with this body. I just need to stay by your side. You have an aura about you that makes me feel very comfortable."

The little guy slowly closed his eyes, approached Kelai, and whispered.

In the cold wave-like loneliness, the warm breath on Kelai's body was like the afterglow of the setting sun, making her whole body feel warm.
