Magical Comprehensive Travel

Mu Hantian and Claire packed up their simple belongings and set off for the appointment.

Leading the two of them forward is a small flame floating in the air - the guiding spirit; it is flying lightly.

As long as you follow it, you shouldn't lose your way even if you walk in the dense forest.

"That... Han Tian, ​​let me ask you..."

"what?"

Claire called out to Mu Hantian who was walking in front of her.

"This...that...no, it's alright..."

"Really..." She always felt that she had something on her mind.

The conversation between the two was interrupted. I don't know how many times this is the first time, but the same pattern has been repeated since the beginning.

In fact, Claire knew the reason for herself: being alone with Mu Hantian made her inexplicably nervous, and she couldn't talk to him as easily as usual.

She secretly glanced at the back of Mu Hantian in front of her——

The other party looked quite calm... On the other hand, this also annoyed Claire.

"But... it's been a long time since I paired up with Han Tian alone..."

Although there are very legitimate reasons behind it, it is an indisputable fact that Mu Hantian chooses to accompany him from the crowd... This makes Claire very happy.

At this time-

"Yahahahah!"

Suddenly something slippery caught her feet.

"Claire, what's the matter?" Mu Hantian was startled and looked back.

I saw a small snake coiled around Claire's feet.

Mu Hantian quickly grabbed the snake's head with lightning-fast movements and threw it into the bushes.

"Are you okay? Have you been bitten?"

"No... it's alright, just startled." Claire sighed in relief and squatted on the spot.

"So you're afraid of snakes?"

"I... I'm not afraid, I just hate it." Claire blushed and looked away embarrassedly.

"Fear is not the same as hate. Can you stand up, do you want me to help you?"

Mu Hantian took the hand of Claire, who was sitting on the ground, and helped her stand up.

"Ah... um, thank you."

Claire felt her heart pounding and her cheeks were hot. The indescribable shyness made her unable to face Mu Hantian's face.

"Okay, let's continue on our way."

"Ok."

………………

The two continued to advance in the forest, taking occasional breaks, and finally reached their destination.

The fire elf who led the two stopped and circled in front of an old and weathered ruin.

The ruins of this shrine look like they were built in a legendary period in the distant past, when the mainland and the 'elemental spirit world' were still one - the product of the mythical era. Almost all the existing broken walls have collapsed and destroyed, and only a few stone pillars buried in the loess are barely left.

On the other side facing the ruins is a cliff, and the sound of the rushing river can be heard.

"This seems to be the negotiating place designated by the other party."

"Well. It looks like the ruins of an ancient sacrificial temple, and there are rivers nearby, so it's an ideal place to set up a 'stronghold'."

"Look, there are traces of someone building a barrier here."

Mu Hantian looked at Claire's finger, and as expected, there was something resembling a coat of arms branded on the stone pillar.

"It's the holy seal of the Duchy of Russell Bell, it's just been branded not long ago." Claire pondered with a cautious expression.

"But... when we came in just now, the barrier wasn't activated, wasn't it?"

"Yes, this enchantment has been destroyed; the function of the 'stronghold' has been lost here."

"What's going on?" Mu Hantian pondered.

Could it be that the 'Lie Po Division' abandoned this 'stronghold'? or something else strange...

"Ok?"

At this moment, a drop of cold water suddenly fell on Mu Hantian's forehead.

"It's raining……"

He stretched out his hand to block the rain in front of his forehead and looked up... Once upon a time, the sky was already covered with dark clouds. The sparsely falling raindrops turned into a violent rainstorm in an instant.

"Ah ah!"

"Looks like we need to find a place to hide from the rain first."

Mu Hantian took off his uniform coat and put it on Claire's head to protect her from the rain, and then looked around at the surroundings. Soon, he found a cave on the edge of a cliff not far from the ruins; it was not a natural creation, it looked as if someone had excavated it with the power of a spirit.

"Go there."

"Uh, um..."

The two quickly ran towards the cave.

The cave was much deeper than I imagined, and it was so dark that I could not see my fingers. Claire chanted an Elvish spell, lighting a pinch of flame at her fingertips, illuminating the uneven rock face.

Burnt wood remains in the cave.

"The 'Lie Po Division' may have burned here."

"Since we have all discovered it, let's borrow it."

The two bent over and sat beside the embers of the campfire.

Claire brought the flames at her fingertips close, and the firewood immediately burned brightly.

"I didn't expect it to rain here."

Mu Hantian originally thought that 'Laguna Yi Shi' was above the clouds, so there would be no rainfall. However, if you think about it carefully - if there is no rain, the plants cannot grow so lush and strong; and there are also lakes and rivers and other water system terrains.

"This floating island 'Laguna Ease' is not always fixed above the clouds. It will move according to a certain cycle, but because we are on it, we can't feel it. I think it should be now Move under the clouds, right?"

"So it is."

Once this heavy rain hits, it doesn't look like it's going to stop. Mu Hantian and Claire were soaked all over.

"Alas. We can't even see the shadow of the object of negotiation, so we can't take action."

Claire sighed and reached out to untie the ribbon that was used to tie her double ponytail.

"This situation is more boring than falling into a trap."

"Speaking of which, I don't know where the members of the 'Lie Po Division' abandoned their 'stronghold' and ran to?"

Mu Hantian felt embarrassed when he saw Claire undoing the ribbon and letting down her hair.

Rain-wet red hair reflects a seductive luster. The girl's slender and delicate body curves were unobstructed under the illumination of the campfire. The soaked uniform clung to the skin, the lace pattern of the lining of the underwear looming.

"Han Tian? What's the matter with you?" Claire tilted her head, showing an expression outside the situation.

She didn't realize how alluring she was now.

"Uh... well... your clothes..."

"Hey... ah!"

Claire finally realized her embarrassment, and hurriedly shrank to cover her wet body.

"Um... uh... um..."

In normal words, she would have been angry long ago. However, the situation at this time was not Mu Hantian's fault, so she had no choice but to blushed.
