Chapter 139: Trapped in the woodland
Exactly, how long did I sleep? Ever since he and Susan had been at the feast, he had been sleeping, as if he wanted to regain all his lost energy and strength. Actually, he didn't intend to do that. However, at this moment, he was still in a dream.
Glori dreamed that he and Mr. Carlos had painted their house, and that his mother was calling him. "Glori, Glori...... You haven't eaten your morning meal yet! What are you going to do with lunch? Wake up! Wake up! You shouldn't have come back so late with your father last night. ”
"I woke up once...... It's not that you didn't eat it, but you didn't finish it...... Just put the rice in the bowl you used. Glori whispered in her dream. He wanted to respond vigorously, but he knew it was a dream.
"Yvette, Yvette, you have to wake me up, shake me up, or the orderly soldiers or bounty hunters who are chasing us will find us!"
It was clear that Glori was in a daze.
"Glori. We've been left behind by them," Dylan tried to shake the sleeping Glori again, "Hey, Glori, you need to wake up!"
"You're saying they left early?" Glori snapped ake, a little dazed. However, he remembers that he didn't drink much, even for the sake of partying.
"Dylan, is he awake? We've got to get up with the group. At about one o'clock in the morning, Sister Olaya set off with people without saying a word. I don't know why she did that!" Susan was dressed in simple leather armor and wore an Alice brooch on her chest. She anxiously circled around the tent outside.
“...... Is it Susan? Oraya left us here!" Glori quickly put on his armor and hung his sword around his waist. He plucked a little water from an abandoned helmet used to hold water and slapped it in the face. Even, didn't have time to wipe his face.
"What about Pod and Aina?" said Glori, as he stepped out of the tent. He saw that Iris and Zoe were behind Susan, and that Pod and Aina were not there.
"They, they're still asleep like you. Something wasn't right with the wine last night, and we were all drugged. Iris explained. She rubbed her swollen and sore eyes. "And I didn't sleep well at all, and I couldn't wake up. Thankfully, Susan woke me up. ”
"Silver must have made him do it. Otherwise, who else would there be? Sister Oraya? I don't remember my eldest sister having such a bad idea. Zoe was angry.
"Be quiet, just for a while. Glori looked around, and in addition to the tent he used with his companions, there were two tents in the woods on the north side. "Look, there's still a fire there. So, it's not just us who are left behind. ”
But that's not right. What reason do they have to keep us......? It's Silver! It's not good, we've got to catch up with them. Glori frowned.
"If it's really Silver, then the eldest sister is in danger. Zoe worried.
"But our horses are here!" Elrith wondered.
"You'd better not go anywhere, and you won't be able to. It's not the early morning of July 8, it's July 9. The commander set out in the early hours of yesterday morning. Jade Hamm hunched over and walked out of a tent. He carried an oil lamp in his hand.
"We've been asleep for two days?" said Elris, looking at Jade with a white beard, full of surprise.
"I can tell you who did it. Jade pondered.
"Wait, Master Hamm. You can't tell them, or we're all out of luck. Bob, the militia leader, stepped out of the tent.
"Have you forgotten what I said when I recommended you to be the captain of the militia? Jade said again.
"Rocky warband, they're not bad guys. Still, Silver is a complete asshole, and you and I know it, even from the first time I see him. At the feast on the seventh, I saw Silver drugged your wine glasses. Then, we received an order from the Commander to stay and guard you. Jade said with a solemn face.
“...... Is it Silver?" Glori wondered.
"Heh, we were going to leave after the feast, but they left us unconscious for two days. Zoe leaned against a lone maple tree and almost set it on fire with all her body's flames.
Suddenly, the magical barrier of the woodland distorted, and a bright light fell from the sky. And the people looked there.
"That's Simon! what is he doing here?" said Irris, wondering.
"Why do you have such an embarrassed expression? Don't you welcome me?" Simon jumped out of the carriage, a little disappointed. He had a letter in his right hand and a cowhide package in his left.
"Simon, what news have you brought us, or what food have you sent? Could it be that the package is treasure?" Before he could finish speaking, Dylan ran to Simon with joy.
"This is something very important, Marin, the lord of Redreeve City, gave it to you. Also, the letter was given to Glori. In addition to that, I would like to convey to you...... Shennuo's legion is already under the Idol City. We succeeded in luring the main force of the Order Legion in the northern swamps. Simon didn't look like he'd be in a good mood, even worse than he had just been.
"That's great. However, you don't look very happy. Simon, what's going on?" Glori laughed.
"Hmm...... It's not very good. This is your letter. Simon struggled to speak. He was slurred, not saying that he was bad, nor was he saying that others were bad.
"What does that letter say?" said Elrith, taking the package from Dylan's hand. When she opened it, she realized that it was several bottles of potions made from Crestal fruits.
“...... It's a handwritten letter from Aolaya. She only told us one thing, and that was that in three days the magical barrier would disappear and we could leave. As for why we're trapped here, the letter says it's because she made a deal with Silver. Glori unwrapped the letter Simon's sent.
"Oh my God! I really don't know what Miss Oraya is thinking," Irrith grumbled, stamping her foot, "what's the agreement in the letter?"
Glori said calmly: "She made it very clear in the letter. She wants us to leave the Legion to keep Silver in service. Looks like we're getting in their way. ”
"They treat us like stumbling blocks? What is this? and trap us here?" Zoe threw several balls of flame in all directions, igniting the maple trees behind her. However, the ball of flame vanished as soon as it hit the barrier.
"So, Simon, if you can come in, you'll have a way to get out of here, right?" Zoe questioned Simon.
"Of course, you should be clear. It only takes one magic, the magic from the owner of the Magic Barrier...... It's easy to be irrational when you're angry. Simon shrugged his shoulders.
"I advise you to listen to the eldest sister, this may be the best thing for her. You should see as much as I do that Silver is important to the Legion. Of course, we all know that Silver is not a good person. Simon explained.
Will walked over and handed the empty paper tube to Glori. He shook his head and said, "And the Golden Covenant is gone." "Love the Book House
"Very well, they tricked us!" said Dylan angrily, "we traveled long and came here with a covenant. And the result? It turned out to be a big joke on us?"
"If they want a covenant, of course we will give it to them. But why do that?" said Zoe.
"It must be Silver, he took it. We all need to be calm. We can't wait until three days and have to get out of here now. When Glori heard that the covenant was gone, he was a little anxious, but quickly calmed down. Will anything happen to the Legion?, he thought.
"But I've warned you. Now, none of you can leave, because you have Silver's spell on you. Jade added. He rolled up his cuffs for everyone to see. A standing white eagle mark, on his arm.
"Look, uh......" Simon rolled up his sleeves and let Glori look. He also has the same markings on his arms as Jade. "That's how I can get out of here. ”
Glori's group also looked at their arms, but theirs differed from Jade's, the White Eagle, with wings outstretched.
"That's why I said you can't leave. But, Simon, like our militia, is a sign that can get us out of here. There are many beasts here, and we are here to keep you safe. When you wake up, we're leaving. Moreover, we also received a signal from the commander. Jade added.
"Simon's arrival is a signal to you?" Glori guessed.
"You know it very well, young man. Jade said.
"What if Simon doesn't come?" asked Elrith.
"That means the Legion has been defeated and we will leave as usual. Bob explained.
"Wait until three days later, and the spell will disappear. Good luck. Jade turned and walked to the tent cluttered with branches cluttered to the left. In the tent, a group of militiamen walked out, all carrying their bags.
"It's good now, not only did I not get the clue to the miracle, but I also lost the covenant. The more Zoe thought about it, the more angry she became.
"Moreover, the Legion has abandoned us. I mean, Sister Oraya!" Iris added, with a look of disappointment.
"I'm sorry, I had to leave too. Simon said.
When he turned around, Simon added a few more words. "The covenant is indeed in Silver's hands. You'll have to think about getting the covenant back, and Silver is not like you, he'll take the dragon's power for himself. Also, the letter was written in Silver's presence. You know what I mean?"
"Thank you for reminding us. Perhaps, the Commander didn't really want to drive us away, she might just be trying to satisfy Silver's conditions. Glori thought for a moment, then said.
"You are indeed a very calm person. And you didn't let the thing about the discarding of the Covenant distract your thinking, and the commander didn't look away. Simon added.
The Covenant was hard-won, and many people wanted it, and finding it and protecting it was a tough thing for the Rocky Warband—Simon knew it.
"Thank you again, Simon. Glori laughed.
"Cheer up, friends. We need to get the covenant back from Silver. Wei reminded.
At this moment, Jed, who was approaching the barrier, turned and waved to the crowd. As he crossed the barrier with the half-bodies of several militiamen, the white eagles on their arms spread their wings, and their bodies immediately burst into flames.
"Oh my God, look at them......" Elrith shouted as she pointed to Jade and the militiamen as they approached the barrier, her eyes widening.
"What's going on?" said Dylan, surprised.
"This mark is not what Silver said!
Bob watched as Master Hamm struggled to the ground. And his feet, which had touched the barrier, were burning with white flames. He withdrew his foot and slapped it so hard that it was useless to even cover it with a shabby cotton coat. Soon, the flames engulfed him.
At that moment, Glori and Dylan rushed forward and used all the water they could splash on it, whether it was from a tattered helmet or a wooden trough...... They could only watch in horror as this cruel fire burned everything.
"That's the silver flame of the Hunter family, and there's nothing we can do about it. Zoe explained.
"Wait, Will. Don't touch the barrier!" Glori threw away the barrel and shouted to the King of Godno who wanted to test the barrier.
"I just wonder if the marks on our bodies will have the same results as theirs. Wei Ning Shen leaned forward and reached out again. But what if, if one's own magic can't resist the silver flame...... He stopped.
"Looks like we've all been deceived. Glori looked at the militiamen who were slumped behind Jade and Bob and said.
"Silver isn't just asking us to leave the Legion, he's going to kill all of us!" Zoe fused her magic into the White Eagle Mark. She tried to break the spell, but how was it possible? Immediately, the white eagle showed an even more fierce look, as if it was about to pull Zoe into the abyss. Eventually, she was brought back from the Blur by Elris.
"Spell Breaker, can you stop Silver Flame from triggering just when you come in? This is not the same thing that Silver said! I'm afraid, the commander has also been deceived. Simon knew he couldn't leave, so he jumped out of the carriage.
"Looks like we're going to have to figure it out. Wei said calmly. He acted very careless, and used it to comfort everyone. He understands that he can't always rely on Glori to take care of everything.
Later, Iris noticed the fluctuations in her magic. She looked there, and a hollow appeared in front of the tree outside the barrier. Martin walked out smoking a pipe, and behind him was Qassim.
"We have guests, but not well. ”
Glori sneered, as if he knew there would be such a thing. If Silver had been ruthless, he would have cut off all life - Glori realized the seriousness of the situation and took a few steps forward, already holding the sword that glowed blue in his hand.
"Look, they're all alive and kicking. I will put them to sleep in the water. Qassim made his right eye jump for a moment, revealing a vicious look. As a result, water slowly seeps from the ground into the barrier.
"Friends, enjoy your last moments, you can't do anything. This barrier is from the hand of our young master—it's the Silver Flame Burial Curtain!" Martin sat cross-legged on the grass, puffing on smoke rings as if he was enjoying himself.
