Chaohu Lake is vast, with the sky and water all the same. I won’t talk about the scenery during the day. The lake surface at night is sparkling, reflecting the stars and moons.

Unfortunately, Han Lingsha was uneasy today, and her mind was full of other things, and she had no intention of enjoying the scenery. Yuntianhe was even more savage on the top of the mountain. She didn't even know all the words, so she naturally didn't have that kind of taste.

According to the former, it is the level of "this person is inseparable from the boar in three sentences."

The reeds by the lake are stretching in large areas, generally more than meter high. The cool breeze at night blows from the lake, and suddenly there are thousands of heads of movement, with regular waves. In the depths of the reeds, there is a dazzling light of fire.

There was a large area of ​​flat and open space that was cleared out. A handsome boy wearing animal leather jacket and a thick hairstyle that looked like a bird's nest. He was wearing neat clothes walking in the world. The heroic girl in red was eating dry food around the bonfire, discussing something. The scene was warm and harmonious.

"This dry food is not delicious at all, it is dry and hard..." The savage on the top of the mountain who likes the most fragrant barbecue and dreams of eating all kinds of wild game is not very satisfied. He frowned at the dry food in his hand.

Do people at the foot of the mountain eat this kind of food?

No wonder it is not strong at all.

"Don't be so picky. If it weren't for your father offending all the people in Taiping Village and you were so lively, how could we eat dry food in the wild tonight..." Han Lingsha gave him a blank look.

"It's obvious that they are not good at all, so they ask for that money, and they talk nonsense again. They didn't even think about whether to kill birds or not. My father must be unable to stand them, so he lived in the mountains."

Yun Tianhe shook his head and said, without any awareness of who is the problem.

This person didn't reflect at all!

The girl in red took a bite of dry food: "Bian Benbian! Why do you give you something for nothing? The foot of the mountain is different from the one on the mountain. Whether it is eaten or used, you have to exchange it for money if you want..."

"What exactly is money? Can't you get it without money?" The savage on the top of the mountain looked confused. This was a field he had never touched before.

"Money is...it's...oh, it's so annoying! You don't understand anyway! Just remember, if someone tells you that the thing is sold, you have to exchange it if you want it! If you don't have money, I'll ask me if I want it, but if there is too much, I won't help you."

The girl wanted to explain, but didn't know how to explain for a while, and suddenly stared at the troublesome savage in anger.

"If you don't have money, you must not take other people's things randomly. This time you are lucky. If you eat and drink freely in the city, you will meet a cadre and get you locked up in the yamen, what will you do!"

"What is Guanzhe? What is the tooth gate? Can they beat me?" Yun Tianhe scratched his messy short hair in confusion, feeling that he had encountered too many strange new concepts today, and could not accept it for a while.

"Don't always think about comparing who's fist is hard. If you meet the government, you're alone and you won't have enough of your life."

Han Lingsha answered with a headache and scolded this troublesome guy angrily. She suddenly felt that the future was a little dim, and she felt exhausted on the first day of going down the mountain together.

I always feel that if I continue like this, I may really have to face my destiny in advance. But it was not that I was retribution, but that I was angry to death by the guy in front of me...

"One person? Are you still there? Two lives together." Yun Tianhe smiled happily and corrected Han Lingsha's statement.

“…”

“…”

"You... don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with you, why should I help you..." The girl in red was stunned for a while, and then she realized that she had a rare blushing face and said with a stuttering stutter.

"Lingsha, why are you blushing?"

"This is the fire!" the girl said sternly, staring at him hard.

"Oh." Yun Tianhe subconsciously shrank his neck, without doubting anything, thinking that it might be like this. After all, how could a person blush for no reason? I think it must be the light of fire.

...

...

On the other side of the reed marsh, the blonde girl swordsman relied on the lurking guardrail she wore on her body to restrain all her breath, as if she was integrated with the surrounding environment and could not be noticed.

She didn't make a fire, but was holding a strange hand-held lantern in her hand. The soft light emitted illuminated the reed marsh in a small area around her. This was a gift from the master a few years ago. Well, the maid also had one.

In Artoria's eyes, the so-called lantern is actually easy to understand. It is just like a cage-shaped lamp like a lantern, even if it is the classical oriental style unique to this world.

And because it is made by master, it is naturally not a really simple lamp, but a magic lantern with all kinds of magical effects.

It goes without saying that the most basic lighting function is. As long as the user enters a little special energy, a soft candlelight can be directly lit inside the lantern, illuminating the surrounding area of ​​several feet. And if the user wants, it can only see the candlelight by holding the lantern.

Others cannot see the light unless they maintain physical contact with the user.

Artoria is now using such a function, observing the young girls over there from a distance of not far or near.

Of course, if it is just like this, it will be a bit strange at most and nothing. So in fact, this lantern has many strange functions.

For example, it can allow the holder to track the destination of the target object through a previously locked breath within the candlelight range; it can also allow the ghost to appear directly through the candlelight... and so on.

The most important effect is that when this lantern activates its ability through specific rituals and usage methods, it can help the holder to communicate with the psychic and pass through the cracks in the space, and pass from the living to the underworld.

It is a very powerful auxiliary prop. The second reason why it is so powerful is that Xia Ran has superb instrument making techniques and has integrated the advantages of manufacturing skills such as alchemy, enchantment, spirit injection, etc.

Secondly, because... the lantern itself is a living thing, essentially a ghost unique to this world, called "False Moon".

It is said that ghosts are used to travel to and from the human and ghost realms. On the seventh day after human death, the fake moon will appear, guiding the soul to leave the body and enter the ghost realm; otherwise, the soul will wander around the human world forever, becoming a lonely ghost, and cannot be reborn.

There is also a saying that whenever the ghost gate is opened, the ghosts will return to the world through the guidance of the fake moon and enjoy the sacrifices of their families... Even because the fake moon usually appears in the cemetery, some people will see the miserable green light with higher spiritual vision, so they are also called "ghost fire".

According to these legends, it is believed that although it is not strong, it has very good characteristics and abilities.

Xia Ran happened to meet a group of people a few years ago, so she caught them all, refined the incense, pasted the spell talismans, and used them as lanterns.

Anyway, for this strange ghost, they are originally lanterns used by ghosts.

Xia Ran just turned them into the same instruments that can be seen, touched and used by living people. There was basically nothing changed in other aspects. They were lanterns before, but now they are lanterns.

Artoria held the lantern in her hand, maintaining this posture, quietly paying attention to the two people in the fire on the other side. Although she was very patient, she still couldn't help but complain at this moment:

"That girl is very good, but it's a pity that the boy is too slow and looks a little confused..."

“…”

“…”

"Master? Are you listening? Nothing is there?" Because there was no answer, there was only silence in the spiritual network. Saber subconsciously tilted his head, and then he heard a familiar voice ringing in his consciousness.

"Oh, this... I'm listening, I just encountered something shocking, so I didn't respond to you..." Xia Ran's tone was a bit weird.

"What happened?" Artoria was slightly shocked, and even her master was shocked. Could it be that something unexpected happened? She subconsciously became concerned.

"It was my maid who just told me a cold joke, so I couldn't react for a moment and was a little shocked..." Xia Ran called out and replied with a dry smile. In a sense, he was very honest.

"Charlotte? Tell a cold joke?" Aber was stunned and his expression became strange. If this was the case, she would be able to understand her master at once.

Maybe it's really a fundamental difference with Alice Phil. Charlotte has been cold for so many years and has not seen any feelings. Even though he has always been loyal to his duties, he feels like a omnipotent maid.

Moreover, Xia Ran had made her original intention at the beginning, and she had other arrangements.

But later I met two lost people who were easy to talk to and insisted on making friends, so I replaced the original maid's arrangement. The two twins could pay attention to the movements of the two protagonists or even three protagonists in Shouyang City at the same time.

So the head maid stayed by the master. After so long time, maybe she really has the function of emotion, but her personality has always been cold, and it is difficult for others to determine?

Artoria subconsciously thought about this, feeling that she seemed to have found a reasonable explanation, but she couldn't figure out the scene where the maid would take the initiative to tell a cold joke.

"Yes, yes, but let's not talk about this, pay attention to the pair of happy enemies..." Xia Ran laughed again, and said without a trace to change the topic, "This is how the two of them are, one is arrogant and the other is dull..."

"It's like you and Miss Yukishita?" Saber blinked and remembered the portrait he drew a few days ago. He didn't know what it was because of his psychology, so he subconsciously asked.

"no."

The boy opposite denied it lightly.

"Yun Tianhe is so stupid, I am pretending to be stupid, why do you think I am as dull as him?"

“…”

“…”

How did you become so proud? Artoria silently closed the channel and spoke.
