After a long time, he let out a long sigh of relief, and looked in the direction of the camp expressionlessly.
The campfire below ignited, black smoke rose slowly, and the woodcutters roared loudly.
"Girl." He suddenly called out.
"Master?" A girl's voice sounded from behind.
Neos hesitated for a long time before saying, "You will do what I tell you to do, right?"
The girl "hmm" all her life, without hesitation.
"Why?" Neos asked.
"Hey, why not?" Fei was dumbfounded, looked at the adult's back, and blinked.
"Then you will understand, the reason for everything I make you do?" Neos asked again.
"Some don't understand, some understand." Fei replied.
Nios turned back: "You still do it if you don't understand, aren't you afraid that I will hurt you?"
Fei smiled: "As long as the adults say it, even if it hurts me, I will do it."
Neos was silent.He remembered the girl's death before.
Boudica's words echoed in his ears.
A thousand people have a thousand thoughts.
And often the biggest mistake of smart people is to think that everyone is themselves...
"Well, did I bother you?" Some timidly greeted, the voice was clean and transparent, like dew dripping.
Nios and Fei were stunned at the same time.
They didn't even realize that someone was approaching them.Generally, in such a situation, either the person who came to sneak in had a high level of skill, or the person was harmless.
The two turned their heads and met the girl's eyes, slightly surprised in their hearts.
A pair of too clear and quiet eyes looked at the two of them, with a curious face, a faint smile on the corner of the mouth, and two wooden bowls in their small hands.
"Master Anya." Fei bowed slightly, and was about to retreat into the shadows, leaving the stage to the girl and her lord.
"Hey, don't go." The girl exclaimed.
Before Fei could react, a warm wooden bowl was stuffed into her arms.
She subconsciously took the bowl, looked at the girl who was about the same height as her, and was stunned.
"Grandma asked me to bring you food. Although it's just oatmeal, I made some hot mare's milk. It should be delicious." The girl was a little embarrassed.
It was the first time Fei met such a person, and she was a little at a loss.
She looked at her adults, then at the bowl in her hand, and then at the girl, and quickly said "I'll take my leave first", then her feet flicked and she hid.
Nios took the wooden bowl and looked at the little girl. The girl was not afraid, she raised her chin, her eyes were soft and quiet.
After a long time, he glanced at the oatmeal in the bowl and looked directly at the girl: "Did you add the mare's milk yourself?"
"Ah, no!" Anya panicked and shook her head quickly.
"Boudica should still be mad at me, so I told you to eat oats before, and she only brought me oats," Neos said lightly, "But you heated your mare's milk yourself, and what us."
The girl's eyes were finally no longer quiet, and she dodged her eyes, like a frightened deer, not daring to look directly at the man.
Nios was silent for a while, then half-kneeled in front of the girl, put down the bowl, and said, "Don't move around."
Anya froze instantly.
Nios supported the girl's shoulder with one hand, pinched the cuff of his sleeve with the other, and slowly wiped the black charcoal on her face.
The nephrite-like complexion is exposed, as delicate as water.
Nios couldn't help but move lightly, wiped it carefully, and looked at the girl.
She had red hair like her mother's, but not as bright as Boudica's.
Boudica's red hair is like a fire, like a pepper, with the temperament of burning everything.The girl's red color is like a warm sunset, with an intoxicating blush, slowly warming people's hearts.
And it can be seen from the plain skin that Boudica and his wife took good care of her, reminiscent of her carefree childhood.
It's just that such a young girl was killed by Roman soldiers after her father died...
Neos knows her story.
Even though I have a weak nature and a moral vacuum, I can't help but sigh in my heart, and I can't help but hate the Romans for being inferior to animals.
Anya suddenly broke away from his hand.
Neos recovered.
But the girl squatted down, picked up the wooden bowl on the ground with both hands, and handed it over again.
"Eat quickly, don't eat cold anymore." She tilted her head and smiled.
Neos took it, stood up, and finally took a sip under the girl's gaze.
The mare's milk had a strong fishy smell, and the oatmeal hung rough in the mouth, if it hadn't been softened a bit, it would be hard to swallow.
Neos has no requirements for food, and he also has the mentality of not letting the girl down.
So he swallowed with gulp, like eating the most delicious food.
Anya's eyes gradually brightened, and her smile relaxed a bit.
When Neos finished eating and returned the bowl, he met those eyes and smile.
He touched his chest subconsciously, and the deepest part seemed to twitch/twitch slightly.
The small amount of magical power accumulated in the body with great difficulty is not abnormal, and there is no new movement in the memory palace...
but why?
Nios looked at the girl's smiling face, which was familiar and warm, and his heart was inexplicably full.
Anya was still quiet, looking at him, a little embarrassed, then lowered her head, as if a little sad.
"Grandma sometimes has a quick temper, so she will be more impulsive when she talks and does things..." She said softly while cleaning up the bowl.
Mature as if she was a grown-up.
"But she will never do anything to hurt her relatives and companions, so please be more tolerant of her, Lord Neos,"
The girl wiped the wooden bowl with a sackcloth, put it into the basket, raised her head, her eyes were clear: "...Grandma, she will not let you down."
Neos looked at her without speaking.
Until a long time later, he asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
The girl blinked, tilted her head and smiled: "Mom always said that she promised Dad to protect my sister and me..."
"...But she doesn't know, my sister and I also promised Abba to protect her."

Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Yes, Your Lady Queen
The sky had been cloudy for several days, and suddenly it cleared up, the sun pierced through the clouds, and beams of light were cast on the vast wilderness.
It was another day for the Celts of the Iceni tribe.
The warriors got up early to hunt, the women boiled water to dry their skins, some felled wood, some collected firewood, and they divided their labor in an orderly manner.
Although many people are dissatisfied with eating and sleeping in the open, no matter how difficult the life is, they always have to live.
Neos often overlooked these people from the high ground.Seeing that when it was time to eat, everyone was eager to eat around the porridge bucket, cursing and swearing, but when they ate some extra jerky, they immediately burst into smiles.
Can't help feeling that this is a human being.The most tolerant creatures in nature can survive in any environment. If they are poked by difficulties, they will retreat a little. As long as there is a little way to survive, they will continue to walk.
"My lord, Queen Boudica is looking for you." Fei led the horse forward to talk to Neos
"Well, it's almost time for her to find me."
Nios nodded, and walked forward: "Keep an eye on this highland, and let me know if there is any situation."
The girl bowed and put the reins into his hands.
Nios got on his horse and trotted all the way, his mind wandering.
After burning a temple and saving a city that day, although Boudica personally invited herself to join her, the red-haired woman did not obey her at all like Fario.
Stubborn, self-willed, impulsive and irritable... To be honest, such a person is not a particularly good protagonist according to the Chinese history books.It's just that compared to those scum in the city now, it doesn't seem so bad.
So on the one hand, I need to change my way of admonishing, on the other hand, this lord also needs to be trained.
And when I think of this stubborn woman who will be obedient to me in the future, why do I feel inexplicably happy?
Is this what Fario wants him to feel, the pleasure of being human?
With all kinds of thoughts in mind, Nios stood in front of the big curtain, coughed softly, the muscles of his cheeks stretched slightly, he pulled out a smile, and opened the curtain to enter.
"My Lady Queen, I heard that you are looking for me?"
Your Lady Queen...
Boudica was shocked by this title.
For a while, it was like a lump of honey fell into the ear, so sweet that it was cloying.
Her haggard face froze, her eyebrows raised unnaturally, her slightly thick lips parted, but she didn't say anything.
"I noticed that today's lunch is a little too much water, let me guess, there is not enough food in the camp, right?" Neos narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox.
This person can always grasp the truth of things from various clues.
Boudica nodded helplessly: "We must find food quickly, the people below are already very hungry."
"Hmm..." Neos pondered for a moment, and didn't give an immediate opinion.
Boudica glanced at him slightly in surprise, and said, "So I plan to take them to see if there is any food left."
"It's a good idea." Neos nodded and said in a low voice.
