Chapter Thirty—Invitation and Rejection
…………
Sylvanas had the fragrance of roses on his body, and Nathanos was completely lost in an instant, but when the female elf's fingertips touched the back of his hand, he immediately woke up and instinctively retreated.
"What kind of magic is this?" Nathanos looked at the blue and gray eyes, shining brightly in the golden light.
The answer to him was Sylvanas's smile, with a bit of teasing and some truth. This was the time she smiled at herself? Nathanos was very curious about what she was laughing at? But it must have something to do with him, but he didn't like this feeling, it was like this when facing Aurelia, and it was like this when facing her. The afterglow of the sunset illuminated her perfectly symmetrical facial features. Nathanos saw this face clearly when the female elf did not answer. It was really beautiful.
The two of them did not have too much language. Nathanos later realized the enthusiasm of the Wind Walker family that Sylvanas mentioned. A room with a magic lamp and a bed, as well as several books to pass the time. But the point is that the door was locked and there were two ranger guards outside the door. It seemed that Sylvanas didn't intend to let him go.
‘Great, let’s see who can beat who?’ He sneered, the elf took his weapon, but did not search for anything else on him.
‘Come in from the entrance of Fengxing Village, walked straight 1037 steps, and then met Liras. When I was taken to the place where I was asked…’ Nathanos calculated in his heart, and remembered Sylvanas’s smile again. He was very angry. The female elf was teasing herself all the time, even now she was disturbing herself. He recovered a little. ‘After two corners, I walked 349 steps in total, and there were two spires around. Finally, he was taken here, four corners, 106 steps. Very good, perfect
.’Nathanos copied a simple map in his mind. He controlled the distance very accurately because he had been strictly trained to control the distance of each step. He believed that Sylvanas would not find this. Who would notice the distance of a person one step? The next thing was to plan how to leave here. But before that, Nathanos could not guarantee that Sylvanas would not come to see him. At least she would come again, that is, today, and then he could implement his plan.
Ten later, Sylvanas really came to see him as he wanted, holding some food in his hand, a large piece of freshly steamed bread, a glass of grape juice and a few pieces of apples.
"It's so rich." Nathanos sat in the corner and watched the female elf squat down and put things in front of him. She smiled at him with a shallow smile. This concealment made Nathanos unable to figure out what she was thinking. The female elf took off her daytime outfit, and she looked even more dry and irritating without her cloak, which was easy to cause distraction.
"When can I leave?" asked Nathanos. Another voice in his heart told him: You can't leave. Nathanos seemed to have heard this answer, but that was not what Sylvanas said, and he didn't want the female elf to reply to him like this.
"Are you just so anxious to leave?" The female elf stood up and looked down at him, still smiling at the corner of her mouth. Nathanos always paid attention to her expression, but he only saw a string of question marks.
"To be exact, yes." Nathanos nodded: "I have no reason to stay here."
"My sister Aurelia mentioned you carefully in the letter. I believe she has a strong interest in you. She has never described a opposite sex in such detail. She said that you shot an orc at a distance of five hundred meters and saved her life."
"Is there any problem? It's very simple for me, and I won't thank Aurelia for her praise for me, I'm incarcerated here and she's worth half of the credit."
Sylvanas felt a little doubtful about his confidence, but she also didn't believe that the false statement in Aurelia's letter was written. She continued: "I'm really surprised by your ability. Aurelia also told me that you accurately predict the actions of the tribe."
Nathanos shrugged and didn't care at all, because no one believed him at that time, except for Lerain Sylvanas, he said something else, but Nathanos always felt that the female elf came to chat with him because they were curious, and they hadn't reached the point yet.
"If you have anything to say, General Ranger."
"Okay, then I'll just say it." The female elf sat in front of the bed and asked, "I've checked your weapon." Her eyes suddenly became softer: "This is yours."
She placed a knife in front of Nathanos. Of course humans remembered this thing. He used this knife to save Sylvanas's life. Nathanos turned his head and did not take a look more, and remained silent.
"It seems you are right."
"I don't think you'll take such irrelevant things to heart, after all, your duties will make you busy."
"Yes, I won't." She nodded and continued, "Then I'll ask some more important questions, would you like to join the ranks of travelers?"
"What?" Nathanos showed a surprised expression, which was expected by Sylvanas.
"Would you like to be a ranger and serve in my army? I can give you a chance. I saw from your bow and arrow that you have ideas about this, but you are a human." Sylvanas said the second time, in more detail.
Nathanos seemed to hear a huge joke. It looked very tempting. Once he agreed to be the first ranger in human history, his family would be proud of it. But Nathanos was puzzled, why did she invite herself?
The female elf saw through what the human mind was thinking, and she continued: "I will not bury any talented person, and I will not care whether he is a human or an elf."
"What about your soldiers? What would they think?" Nathanos asked back. This tested the female elf's determination, and the effect was very good. Sylvanas's attitude was very clear.
"The will of soldiers should be consistent with their leaders. I don't care about their opinions. I only need your answer. Tell me, Nathanos. Are you willing to serve me?"
"You seem to be determined, but my answer will disappoint you." Humans drank the grape juice in one go. "I will not join your army, it will be good for us. You will not be subject to rumors from others, and I will not serve anyone."
