"sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, I just happen to be very free recently."

In the bedroom, the sickly Kelai was lying on the bed, chatting with Bai Qiyun.

Although she didn't look very interested, after all, the young man in front of her had helped her a lot and she couldn't ignore him.

Kelai blinked her eyes and tried to stand up, but as soon as she put her arms on the bed to support her chest, her breath became unsteady, causing her to cough violently again.

"Cough...cough..."

There was no other way, so Bai Qiyun could only imitate his previous actions, patting her back while using elemental power to dredge the meridians in her body.

It's just that this time Kelai put on decent pajamas, and his smooth skin was no longer available to him.

"You'd better lie down first, otherwise it will get worse if you toss it again."

Although Kelai didn't want to lie down like a useless person, the current situation forced her to accept the fact that she was actually no different from a useless person now.

Ke Lai, who was pushed back to the bed by the boy, could only forcefully find a topic.

"I haven't seen you in Huachengguo before. You are new here, and you don't look like a Sumeru person. Why are you here?"

Although the ranger's obligation to inquire was included, the question was mostly due to Kelai's own curiosity.

The girl's green-white fingers were clasped on the edge of the quilt, revealing a pair of big and smart eyes looking directly at the young man in front of her, without any aura of a 'grand patrol officer' at all.

It seems that no matter how hard she subconsciously puts herself in this position, she is still the same little girl.

"I came to Xumi to study. I have already obtained the admission qualification for the Teaching Order. I will go to class when the school starts. Now I am taking advantage of the holidays to go out and walk."

"Hey...Jiaoyuan."

Ke Lai did not show the slightest doubt about the young man's remarks.

Bai Qiyun looked at the girl's weak profile and couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart.

This guy really forgot all about him. After all, he helped the rangers solve several requests.

There was no memory at all in the dream.

But this is normal, even Tinari disappeared completely, let alone a stranger like him.

Looking at the girl's longing face, Bai Qiyun took the initiative to bring the topic to herself.

"Compared to me, you should be more concerned about right now. Why did all the rangers go out, leaving you alone in Huachengguo?"

"this..."

When mentioning this matter, Ke Lai hesitated to speak, as if he didn't want to say it out loud.

After all, this matter involved the secrets of the ranger, but when she thought about them lying in front of each other, it didn't seem to make any difference whether she said it or not.

Kelai sighed.

"Actually, it's because the monsters in the rainforest have been too active recently, and there were incidents of invading villages a few days ago. In order to avoid getting injured, the rangers were sent to various places to deal with the monsters."

The affairs of Xumi are divided into several areas. The defense in the rain forest does not rely on the thirty-man group, but is left to the ranger.

From this point of view, the so-called "Great Forest Patrol Officer" is fully qualified to go hand in hand with the "Great Sage" and "Great Disciplinary Officer".

After all, it is the ranger who is responsible for many matters in the rainforest area. As the saying goes, "the county official is not as good as the current one".

People who live in the rainforest area are in daily contact with forest rangers. Those mercenaries from the Thirty-man Group and people from the Teaching Council are here. These people probably won't admit it.

This may also be a major feature of the Xumi area.

Moreover, there is also the desert area, which has no control over the area. The person in charge is directly autonomous from the local area, and the hand of the Holy Order cannot reach out.

Within the same country, several different top leaders will be born in different regions.

Compared with Sumeru, even Inazuma, who actually had a rebellion, seemed so united.

"But since the rangers have been sent out, won't there be no one to guard Huachengguo?"

But Bai Qiyun was still a little confused about the rangers' decision-making.

As the base camp of the rangers, the safety of Huachengguo should have been given top priority.

But soon, Kelai answered this doubt for him.

The girl shook her head and said.

"No, this matter is a bit complicated. First of all, the selection mechanism for forest rangers is voluntary registration and ability assessment. Most of these rangers are selected from all over the rainforest, so compared to Huachengguo, the selection mechanism for forest rangers is

What’s more important for these people is their hometown scattered throughout the rainforest.”

If you force these people to stay in Huachengguo, it will only lead to disunity in the end.

Even if Ke Lai didn't tell Bai Qiyun, he could guess this kind of thing.

But at the same time, another question arose in his mind.

Bai Qiyun asked casually.

"Doesn't Huachengguo have its own local ranger? This is the largest human gathering place close to Xumi City."

That's right, since the local area has its own local ranger, there is no reason why Hua Chengguo does not have its own direct ranger.

But it was okay that Bai Qiyun didn't mention this matter. When he mentioned this matter, Ke Lai's expression became extremely subtle.

She half-closed her eyes, sorted out her words in her mind, and said hesitantly.

"Well...it's actually not true, but they all went out to perform the mission together."

"Why?"

"Because the reward for this mission is relatively high."

Well, this is an irrefutable reason.

Although Bai Qiyun was vaguely aware that there might be other reasons for this, it was meaningless upon closer examination.

After all, this is a dream, everything is composed of Ke Lai's subconscious, and so are the so-called reasons.

The most important thing now is to get Kelai.

"That..."

Bai Qiyun wanted to say something else, but it suddenly became noisy outside, as if someone was running on the wooden bridge.

Seeing this, Kelai quickly sat up, but because her movements were too rapid, her breath that she had just suppressed became unstable again.

"Cough...cough..."

Bai Qiyun comforted her while patting her back.

"I'll go out and take a look. You can rest here first."

After that, he pushed open the door of the tree house and ran towards the pedestrians running back and forth outside the house.

The pedestrians looked very panicked, and some of them had bows and arrows in their hands, looking uncertain.

Bai Qiyun found a younger-looking person and stopped him.

"What happened? Why is it so chaotic?"

The person who was stopped seemed to have a bad temper. His arm was pulled by Bai Qiyun and he subconsciously shook it off.

But no matter how hard he shook it, he couldn't break it free, as if he was being held by iron pincers.

He immediately realized that the man in front of him was not that easy to mess with, so he could only respond obediently.
