The underground river is both cold and fast.
Thanks to Duogu Village for being naughty and not forgetting to pull him along, Aubrey didn't become a landlubber. Ash thought as he held Sigourney and paddled in the water with an unskilled posture.
He was already far away from the place where he had just fallen.
Almost as soon as he fell, he was swept away by the current and rushed a long distance.
I tried to take out the alchemical items from the space bracelet to improve the situation, but the bracelet still did not respond.
After delivering that slap, Sigourney seemed to have fallen into a coma.
He had no choice but to rely on himself, trying to stay afloat, and paddling towards the edge. All he touched was a smooth and hard ice wall, with no place to get ashore. After all the attempts, he gained nothing except his arms and legs that were bruised during the attempts.
The underground river was interconnected like a maze. No one knew how many bends and tributaries he and Sigourney had passed through, going deeper and deeper.
The advantage is that even if there are pursuers, it will be difficult to find them. The disadvantage is... after the whole body is soaked in the ice spring, the wizard robe is useless. Ash was almost numb from the cold, and his brain was dizzy. In the last few seconds before he fell into darkness, he tried to use the space bracelet again, but it was still fruitless. So he gritted his teeth and pulled off the hair rope of Sigourney's hair, and tied their wrists tightly together.
Then, he also fell into a coma due to the extreme cold.
…
In the extreme darkness, he knew he was dreaming.
He dreamed that he came to the valley of Sanweihua again.
His arms, holding Sigourney tightly, were shaking slightly.
The light from heaven continued to shine on them.
Warm.
But his heart was cold.
He said that Sigourney had only one weakness, and as long as he was with Sigourney, he could make up for this weakness.
But now he was by Sigourney's side, and Sigourney was still knocked down by this weakness.
He had been thinking about it a long time ago.
When his life is in danger, the contract between him and Sigourney will allow Sigourney to be replaced in his body to save him from danger.
Because the contract can judge that Sigourney is strong enough to help him out of trouble.
The contract is supposed to be a two-way street.
But for a long time to come, it would be Sigourney who would help him out of trouble. He could not help Sigourney at all.
Because he is too weak.
The Contract Does Not Judge: Ash is able to help Sigourney out of danger.
So their bodies don't swap when Sigourney is in danger.
This contract is really unfair.
He had taken so much from Sigourney without charging anything on his side.
"idiot."
A cold voice sounded in his ears, and in this freezing environment, the cold voice seemed to become warm: "Have you forgotten all the bottles of potions you drank?" Aren't these the prices?
Did he say...what he thought in his dream?
Ash opened his eyes dazedly and found himself stranded on a stone platform with his lower body still immersed in ice water. He subconsciously moved his wrist, which involved another person's hand, and he felt relieved all of a sudden.
"Sigourney." He couldn't help laughing. "You're still here."
"……Um."
Ash's smile deepened. He tried hard to get up, using his frozen limbs to pick up Sigourney, and walked to the inside of the stone platform, away from the icy river - although vampires themselves have no temperature, he was still afraid that he would be cold.
"Is drinking a few bottles of stomach medicine the price?" He said slowly while moving Signe, "Is my life equivalent to a few bottles of stomach medicine?"
"Plus... you've been lying in bed for days and can't get out of bed?" Severely injured by the Radiant Array, Sigourney managed to regain some consciousness, but was still a little confused and sluggish. She was soft and easy to talk to, which was unusual for her, without any aggressiveness at all.
"So, saving me once means I can't get out of bed for several days?" Ash said helplessly, "What's the price of that?"
Unfair is unfair.
He had always taken advantage of Sigourney, but he could never give her back a penny.
This stone platform is not very large and is close to the ice wall. Behind it is an entrance half a person's height. It is pitch black and no one knows where it leads to.
Ash sat in front of the ice wall and let Sigourney lean on him. After coming out of the ice spring, the temperature control effect of the wizard robe worked again, at least he didn't have to worry about freezing again.
He tilted his head to look at this originally flawless vampire, but what caught his eyes was like a painting pulled out from a blazing fire. He could vaguely see that the scenery in the painting was exquisite, but most of it was incomplete.
"The space bracelet cannot be used." Sigourney opened her lips slightly, her voice was very low, almost a whisper.
"It doesn't work." Ash tried again.
"It's not the enemy's tricks," said Signe. "It's this underground space that has something strange."
Did he want him not to worry about the enemy chasing him? Ash responded, his eyes fixed on Sigourney's face, where the dark red wound was struggling to repair itself, but the speed of repair was too slow, so he couldn't see any changes after watching for a long time.
The damage caused by the brilliant magic circle seems to be more terrible than the sunlight.
The healing process is extremely slow, which is very distressing.
Ash pursed his lips and continued to talk to himself: "How long has it been since you drank blood? You are hungry and have been badly injured, so it is difficult for you to heal yourself."
The vampire being mentioned remained silent.
"I almost forgot earlier - I'm delicious to vampires."
“…”
"Bite me." Ash pulled his collar aside, revealing his wet neck, and leaned forward slightly to kiss Sigourney's lips. "This way you can recover."
"...Take it away!" He spoke in an extremely restrained tone, the sound coming out from between his tightly clenched teeth, "Ash Elwin! Take it away!"
Calling him by his full name again.
But he clearly saw the canine teeth that could not be controlled sticking out of Sigourney's mouth.
Why on earth do they insist on not drinking human blood?
Just because he was originally an elf?
"You really don't want to drink?" he asked.
"No!" He refused firmly and even with disgust.
Ash thought about it and sat up straight again.
Once Sigourney has made up his mind, no one can change it unless he loses his mind or falls into a coma.
He can wait.
It would be great if Sigourney could recover on her own.
But if Sigourney fell into a bloodthirsty state or fell into a coma again due to insufficient biological energy required for recovery - then even if Sigourney would always call him "Ash Elwin" afterwards, he would still feed this vampire.
After a brief silence, Sigourney said slowly: "Ash, say something."
As Ash said, the smell Ash exuded was particularly delicious in itself. And now that he was hungry and in need of energy, the attraction of that smell was even more deadly.
Just like the three-tailed flower and the storm rabbit with cyan flower juice.
The only difference is that he has much more self-control than the Snow Rabbit.
Ash blinked. Sigourney didn't let him go far away. Was it because she knew he wouldn't listen even if she told him? He curled his eyes, temporarily skipped the previous trap, and turned to talk about trivial and irrelevant things.
He talked about his days in college.
One of the courses we started recently is "The Mystery of the Stars". The teacher often tells a bizarre story in class and asks students to uncover the mystery based on the clues in the story.
"Nance once said that with enough intelligence and knowledge, a good astrologer can draw a whole picture of a leopard from just one stripe." Ash spoke seriously, and he knew that Sigourney was listening carefully. "The clues in the story are subtle and sparse. In every class, very few students can give the correct answer."
"What about you? Never mind... no need to say anything." The kid must be the one who always gives the right answer. Tsk, what a perverted talent.
Every time the teacher finished telling a story, Ash would automatically come to a conclusion in his mind: "..."
Then they talked about Potions class, Nance, Ivan, and Yelena.
From Ash speaking, to Sigourney's slow narration.
Ash realized that Sigourney's patience was wearing thin as he went from listening to speaking.
They talked about Yolande.
Everyone was curious about what Sigourney had done to Yolande that caused him to disappear for half a year and avoid him after he reappeared.
Everyone thought that he had beaten Yolande so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for half a year.
Ash didn't think Yolande was the type to walk away after being beaten, but he was also very curious about the inside story. So he asked frankly.
At this moment, Sigourney, whose whole body seemed to soften, told him in a low voice.
In fact, Sigourney simply burned all the clothes Yolande had accumulated over the years. Yolande then spent half a year to replace the clothes that had turned to ashes one by one and barely rebuilt his fitting room.
But after that, Yolande didn't dare to attack Sigourney anymore. Otherwise, if the fitting room could be burned down once, it would definitely be burned down a second time.
Ash: "..." Sigourney is always good at attacking other people's weaknesses. Yelena and Ivan were also tortured by him and looked pitiful.
He kindly found another topic: "I haven't found a way to hatch the little gray egg I bought on Starfall Day last time. Do you have any suggestions?"
Sigourney: “…” Sigourney didn’t say anything.
Ash looked at his closed eyes and pursed lips, his heart skipped a beat. Is this... the critical point?
