Blood gushed out, and the orc king's head fell to the ground.

Watching the body of the orc king who lost his head slowly fall, Lin Qian closed the "floating veil".

Lin Qian let out a soft breath, and just met the eyes of Asher, who was wiping the blood stains on the blade, and Asher looked down with a shameful expression to apologize to Lin Qian and said:

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

Although Lin Qian was a little surprised, thanks to this, Lin Qian was able to confirm the defensive power of the "floating veil".

Lin Qian looked around, and the orcs who had lost their leader were fleeing in all directions.

Without Asher's hand in pursuit, the orcs will soon all escape.

It seems that the IQ of the half-orcs is higher than that of other races, and they can tell that the strength of the enemy is much stronger than their own.

"Phew."

The adventurers who stood on the sidelines and watched the battle breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Dan also slowly got up from the ground and staggered towards Lin Qian.

Lin Qian looked at Luo Dan and said to them,

"Now we should go back."

"Hmm."

... ...

After climbing down the mountain and returning to the town, Lin Qian handed over the rest of the commission money to the adventure group.

At first, they stubbornly wanted to refuse, but Lin Qian said that this was a promise he had made, so they could only accept it.

They thanked Lin Qian with sincere eyes, and then spoke

, "Thank you, young master, may your journey forward be full of glory."

This was a natural reaction, after all, Lin Qian saved their lives with the precious potion and gave them a large amount of commission money.

However, thanks to them, Lin Qian also successfully obtained an important defense system "mysterious", so Lin Qian did not feel anything wrong.

Moreover, it was just a few hundred gold coins, which was nothing to Lin Qian.

The money Lin Qian took from the territory was dozens of platinum coins in his arms.

A day later, Lin Qian and the others left the city.

The boring carriage journey began again, and Lin Qian's next destination was the territory ruled by the first lord.

Lin Qian thought about the "mystery" that could be obtained there, while staring blankly at the scenery outside the window.

Then, it was habitual to look at Asher, who was sitting opposite him.

For some reason, her expression seemed a little ugly.

"Your face is not very good."

Hearing Lin Qian's words, Asher looked at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian continued, "

Were you injured while fighting?"

"It's not."

After she finished speaking, she licked her lips, her face became even more gloomy, and then said: "

Your Lord appointed me as your guard."

Lin Qian did not speak, quietly waiting for her to continue.

"When I fought the Orc King before, I made a fatal mistake and failed to protect you."

Is that the case again? When he encountered the giant snake before, something similar happened, Lin Qian thought to himself.

But whether it was dealing with the garbage mob or destroying the walls, she helped Lin Qian so much that without Asher, Lin Qian could not complete what he had to do.

However, she was also a little embarrassed, because when she met a real strong person, she couldn't resist at all.

Lin Qian didn't blame her, but her personality really made Lin Qian feel a little troubled.

But at the same time, Lin Qian also felt that she seemed to be a little cute.

Compared to the first time he traveled with Asher, the feeling of the two looking at each other has changed a lot.

Lin Qian thought that Asher could say such words, and talking to Lin Qian normally should be a manifestation of trust in Lin Qian.

Lin Qian decided to say something to let her know that he was not blaming her.

"I told you the first time I met you, I know what you're capable of."

"Yes."

"I'm talking more about your potential than about your current capabilities, which I know are limited to. In other words, I know what you can and can't do.

Lin Qian continued

, "Whether it is the giant snake of the Lutus Mountain Range or the stone statue you encountered in the dungeon before, they are opponents that you can't deal with with with all your strength at present. Because I know this, I have never been disappointed in you. Do you get it?

"Of course, you did make some mistakes when you killed the Orc King before."

She seemed to be thinking about Lin Qian's words, and then lowered her head.

Lin Qian looked out the window and looked at the passing scenery, and the two did not continue to speak.
