Chapter 118: The Curtain Opening Under the Night

Sensing the change in her pale expression, the girl Ariel also stopped talking instantly. Then she turned her eyes and looked at the weak woman walking towards her not far away.

"This woman...what is she doing here?"

The girl raised her brows slightly and murmured in a low voice. Bai Bai, who also said nothing, seemed not to notice her, and glanced at the two untouched glasses of wine in front of them.

This was given to the two of them by the enthusiastic businessman before. The other person said that since he couldn't eat "dinner", he would have some drinks. Out of politeness, Ariel did not refuse at that time.

But it was obvious that both the girl and him were wary of outsiders, so they never touched the drinks presented by the stranger.

The eyes behind the black thin-framed glasses were slightly narrowed, and the pale man showed an intriguing smile. He raised his hand and touched their glasses, and most of the wine in the glasses disappeared out of thin air.

Ariel, who witnessed what he did, blinked her eyes, showing a thoughtful look.

"Good night, Miss Erica. Have you two had dinner?"

A weak woman named Judy greeted her politely, while Erica was the pseudonym Ariel gave herself.

"Well, let's eat something casually. I wonder if Ms. Judy wants to see me for anything?"

The girl smiled slightly and replied politely.

"Well...it's actually not a big deal."

Judy said as she lowered her head in embarrassment, her eyes inadvertently glanced at the wine glasses in front of the two pale people, and a hint of unconcealable joy flashed across her eyes.

"It's just a matter of taking turns to keep vigil. I wonder if it's not convenient for your guards to keep vigil? We have about seven or eight adventurers taking turns to keep vigil. It won't be too hard."

After saying that, the weak woman looked at the sturdy Heilong Xiaobai not far away, and swallowed subconsciously. Because the other person was not as particular as the two people in front of him, he was still eating even a simple dinner.

.

"..."

Wanwan and Ariel could only pretend not to see the embarrassing look of that stupid dragon.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, before the girl could reply, Bai Wan spoke first. With a look of arrogance and disdain on his face, he refused mercilessly.

"No! My guard can only protect me and my property. You are not qualified to accept his protection."

These unceremonious and even somewhat unpleasant words made the woman's expression freeze instantly. Her already weak expression made her look a little pitiful, as if she was about to cry.

"I……"

But it was a pity that she met Bai Wan, and he didn't show any sympathy for her. Even if Ariel hadn't pulled him to stop him, he might have said something more arrogant.

"snort……"

Maybe he was a little unhappy because the girl stopped him, so he turned around and returned to the carriage after snorting coldly, as if he didn't deserve to say another word.

After he left, Ariel bowed and apologized with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Judy. My husband has a bad temper. Please don't take it off. Regarding the matter of guarding the night watch, since my husband doesn't agree, I can't agree to it. I'm really sorry."

After saying that, she bowed again. Facing the girl's solemn apology, the weak woman seemed a little at a loss.

"No...it's okay. I won't take it to heart. Miss Erica, you are such a good person."

This sudden good guy card made the girl subconsciously twitch her lips. It was all thanks to the cultural baptism in this world that allowed her to understand other meanings of certain words.

"Don't say that. I'm really sorry for making your trip in vain."

Judy quickly waved her hands to show that she didn't care.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll explain it to them when I go back later."



After finally dealing with the weak woman, Ariel breathed a sigh of relief and just returned to the carriage when she heard Bai Wan sighing with emotion.

"This woman is really difficult to deal with. Her acting skills are really good."

"..."

Hearing his words, the girl couldn't help but roll her eyes and complained secretly in her heart.

'How dare you say that others are good at acting?'

When she recalled the arrogant, disdainful and arrogant look on the other side just now, she couldn't help but itching her hands. When he said that he was just a passerby, she wanted to give him a slap.

But after getting along for a long time, the two of them really have a tacit understanding. As soon as Bai Bai started acting, Ariel could understand what he wanted to do, and then I, who should cooperate with you in the performance, tried my best to perform.

"By the way, why do you want to act with her? They are just a few guys with evil intentions. Can't we just deal with them casually?"

The girl asked with some doubts. She did feel a little strange, even though the tail behind her seemed to be following her all the way very powerfully. But with her legendary level of mental perception, no one could escape.

"There's no particular reason, I just think it's quite interesting. Watching them scheming and performing, thinking they have a chance to win and then hitting them in the face...their expressions at that time must be very interesting."

The corners of his pale mouth lifted, and a somewhat evil smile appeared on his face, making Ariel roll her eyes.

"What kind of weird interest do you have?"

The girl couldn't help but complain.

"Nothing, just having some fun."

Wanwan smiled and didn't pay attention to her words, and said to himself.

"Just wait, I'm actually looking forward to the show tonight."



This so-called good show did not keep him waiting for too long.

As the night gradually darkened, the original excitement in the camp slowly came to an end.

"Yawn~ I feel so sleepy suddenly. Andrew, please take them to watch the night. It's time for me to go to bed so late. I have to be on my way early tomorrow morning."

The owner of the carriage Andrew was in yawned and gave instructions before returning to the tent.

"Don't worry, we will definitely guard the night and won't put you in any danger."

The red-haired Andrew slapped his chest loudly.

The car owner nodded without saying anything. He yawned and went back to his tent. But just as he left, several adventurers who were still looking good suddenly began to yawn.

"Yawn~ It's okay if he doesn't say it, but I'm a little sleepy now that he does."

After hearing this, Andrew immediately laughed and teased them.

"Did you drink too much just now? No, you guys, you were bragging about how awesome you were just now, and you can't stand these few drinks?"

Several adventurers tried to shake their heads to wake themselves up, but the shaking made them even more dizzy.

"No, I feel so trapped. How about we go take a nap first?"

"I think so. This place is out of the way. It's not close to the area where monsters live. It's just a lot of wild beasts. What's the danger?"

"Yeah... How about we take a rest first. Seeing that their tents are all dark, they must be asleep and no one will know."



"You guys."

Andrew could also understand the sneaky and sneaky behavior of some of them, it was human nature. However, he shook his head and said.

"We can't live without someone to keep watch. Let me keep watch for a while first, and you guys can sleep for a few hours. I'll ask you to change shifts later."

"Okay! Let's sleep for a while first. You can call us later."

"Justice! Andrew is worthy of you."

"Then let's go first."

Several adventurers were not polite at all. It was rare for someone who was an enemy to be willing to suffer for them, so they walked away without hesitation. Andrew didn't say anything when he saw this, he just smiled and shook his head.

He probably understood that he might be the only one keeping vigil tonight.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but pick up the jug again and pour himself a sip of wine. The weather was getting colder now, and although he was a warrior with a strong physique, drinking wine would also help him stay awake and get rid of the cold.

He was just sitting by the campfire, drinking wine, but he didn't realize that figures with malicious intentions had appeared in the shadows outside the camp.

A dozen or so people gathered in the shadows without speaking. After making a few gestures to communicate with each other, they all moved towards the camp.

There were two of them who seemed to be stronger. After making eye contact, they headed towards the tent carriage of Wanwan and others further away from the camp.

Obviously, the luxurious carriages of the pale group were too eye-catching in this camp, and they were recognized at a glance.

Andrew, who was watching alone at night, seemed to hear only the occasional "crackling" sound coming from the burning campfire in front of him. In the dark camp at night, it was as quiet as a dead place.

A feeling of uneasiness quietly crept into his heart, and the red-haired man felt that something was wrong for no reason.

"Everyone of them is so sleepy, why are they so dead..."

The muttering in a low voice is not only to break the dead silence, but also to embolden the restless self.

But at the next moment, Andrew's expression suddenly changed and he fell to the side. A dagger reflecting the light of the fire suddenly appeared from the shadows.

Sensing the danger, he reacted very quickly. He just threw himself to the ground to avoid the enemy's dagger. The next moment, he put his hands on the ground and directly kicked the enemy's ankle and knocked him to the ground.

The next moment, he flew up, grabbed the opponent's wrist holding the dagger, and pushed the enemy to the ground. The eyes that had been boasting happily at night were cold and fierce at this moment.

"Who are you?"

Faced with his overwhelming strength and forceful questioning, this attacker obviously did not have the tough talk and integrity of a real assassin. He opened his mouth and was about to confess honestly, but suddenly he showed a hint of joy.

Andrew, who had been paying attention to his expression, reacted immediately and rolled on the spot to avoid the dagger stabbing him in the back again.

"The response was pretty quick."

Andrew just got up and found that he was surrounded by three or four people.

The attacker who had just been pinned under him also slowly stood up, rubbing his painful chest while staring at him with hatred. The one who spoke was the enemy who almost stabbed him in the back just now.

"Who are you?"

Andrew looked at the four enemies on Thursday who were slowly approaching with daggers or long knives in their hands, and asked in a deep voice.

"You don't need to know. An old mercenary like you doesn't have much luck anyway. I just want to deal with you by the way."

The enemy who had just been stabbed in the back seemed to be talking too much. He was worried that there were many people on his side, so he answered a little arrogantly.

"Deal with me? Just a few of you?"
