Chapter 157: In the Storm
Worried about the wine, Glori had to do it. Now, he can rest easy. After leaving Cornelius' home, Glori and his friends headed northwest without much trouble.
The road is full of insects and birds, as well as running game. However, Glori was not going to tolerate Dylan's excitement, not a single hair of these wild animals could be touched, and to catch up with time, that's why. And Dylan always looked listless, looking left and right, as if the game would be cleaned up by the steppenwolf.
At this point, Glori had no choice but to shake his head at Dylan. He told Dylan that there was a lot of food in the town and that there was no need to waste time on hunting. In fact, Glori's bags were empty. Nervous, Glori just held it in his heart. "No, we don't have time to catch those hares, we need to get down to business first. โ
"Early in the morning, I was relieved to see your optimistic appearance. Wende tightened the wrap on his back. Then, the cuffs are naturally loosened.
Wende had no scars on his arms, and his complexion was much whiter than his face and neck. Wende is indeed young, and must not have experienced too many hard things. Glori hadn't forgotten to be cautious, and he didn't want to make trouble.
"How much longer?" asked Glori. He glanced at the sky, and it was incomprehensibly clear. Why is God in such a good mood? We're here to wait for the storm.
The strangers were not only Wende and Cornelius, but also a veteran. Conrad, who is very old, is even better than Cornelius. It was evident from the items he was preparing for the trip, and that Glori was there at the time.
Before he departed, Conrad approached Cornelius with his bags as agreed, and Wender tore open his package, some hemp rope, locks, and strips of linen in place of bandages...... There's even a flint and steel. Not only that, but Conrad would use several low-level magic, which had been shown in front of Glori's eyes, such as healing, which was slow and unprofessional, but at least good.
If someone gets injured on the way, Conrad can lighten Irris's burden. So, where the hell is the storm? Just as Glori felt a chill sink into his cloak, Conrad pointed to the disconnection in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Wait a little longer, the storm is coming." โ
Glori took two steps forward, as Skytown was supposed to be in the rift ahead. When Glori approached, he found that there was nothing in the valley except for an open field. "There's nothing here. Obviously, when the storm comes, you can see everything. โ
"yes, so we'll have to wait for the storm to arrive. Conrad explained.
"Conrad, you're not the man you planned. You shouldn't listen to Wende's invitation, you've done enough for this. Living well is what you should do. Cornelius persuaded.
Wende said he brought a reliable team. He said they were all young people, so I wanted to follow along. Maybe it will help them when they get lost in the storm. Conrad looked back at Glori's team. He thought it was okay, so he pouted and nodded.
"This time it's different, and I can see what's unusual about these people. When they talk about treasures, they don't see the greedy eyes of ordinary people at all. Wende patted Conrad on the shoulder and said with a confident smile.
"It's really windy!"
Iris handed the Word to Dylan, left the edge of the Rift, and spun around the meadow. The wind was a little cold, but pleasant, and she turned in a reverse circle as she swayed.
"Looks like we're going to have to wait for the storm to come up. The little whirlwind in front of us, we can't get in, it's not enough for a single person. Dylan pointed to the whirlwind beneath the rift. The whirlwind was too small to even step in.
"And, it's in the rift. It's not like Wende said that it will come to the whole rift. Iris wondered.
"Uh, no," Cornelius shook his head, "you're mistaken, that's not the storm we're waiting for. What we have to wait for is a storm from the sky, not a small whirlwind rising from below. โ
"I'm just kidding. Dylan laughed and pulled a bewildered Iris into his arms.
Dylan, you can do it...... Glori covered his forehead and turned. He didn't want to get involved in anything anymore, and it would be embarrassing if Dylan suddenly said something that made him laugh and cry. So, it's important to get down to business.
Suddenly, the sky was cloudy, and a strong air current was pulling. The sound of the whistling wind made the sound fragile, and Cornelius could only shout hard. "We've got to get away, it's coming!"
"That's lightning!"
The light was quite threatening, and there were so few trees on the prairie that one was immediately set on fire, and Zoe pointed to the sky and immediately pulled her legs. Dylan picked up Iris and ran south.
"It's like telling us that it's the master here. โ
Wei looked up at the sky, and his voice grew higher. Unexpectedly, two lightning bolts hit his feet in succession, as if he was the target of the lock, and then the third lightning also fell; fortunately, Wei was not only physically strong, but also strong enough in magic, and he actually supported the semicircular barrier with his bare hands, so that the falling lightning tasted bitterness.
But what about Cornelius, after entering the cave, Glori discovers that Cornelius is not keeping up with the group. Glori looked towards the hole, and Cornelius walked out of the storm like he was fine.
"In a little while, this strange storm will calm down. I don't mean that calm will disappear, but that it will temporarily lose its original attraction every once in a while. At that point, we can walk in. It's only that short time for us to get through the storm into town. Cornelius smiled and entered the burrow.
At this moment, Glori and his friends were almost dumbfounded. It's as if they witnessed a miracle. Not only Glori, but the rest of the companions also took a closer look at Cornelius, who was unharmed, and the dust could not hang on to his clothes.
Before Glori and his friends could react, Cornelius burst out of the hole. As he ran, he turned back and shouted, "I say, you can't keep staring at me like that." Now, we've got to get over it! I said, right now!"
"Was that a miracle?" Dylan was still stunned.
"Miracles, that's magic!"
Glori grabbed Dylan's shoulder and pulled him straight out. Then, all the companions followed Cornelius into the storm.
"It's adventurous. Susan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Glori's spirit.
"It's an adventure! It's like quietly waiting for us to pass through its wall of storms!" Zoe said.
After a run, it's a jump. They didn't go down without brains, but they had already predetermined a safe place to fall. When a ray of sunlight falls from the sky, it is enough for Glori and his friends to look down on the beautiful town covered in greenery and flowers.
Four confluent rivers divide the town into four pieces. In the middle of the river is the steel revolving bridge of Kano, which connects the main road throughout the town. These roads and steel bridges divide each precinct into two parts. As for the clock tower built in the center of the revolving bridge, its structure extends from mid-air to all sides. Moreover, the passage connecting the surrounding pavilions is also a reference to the architectural style of the Gudian kingdom - the use of telescopic steel bridges.
"Oh my God, it feels like we're fly......ing," Al Ryth pressed the hem of her skirt with her left hand and gripped Dylan tightly with her other. Ranwen
"Don't worry, at the bottom of this location is the river. Cornelius explained.
"So, you young men had better be good swimmers!" said Conrad laughed.
"I'm afraid you'll have to help get them ashore, for some of them are landlubbers!
"So, that's why you want me here!" Conrad shouted with a smile.
"I don't need to be sent ashore, the god of fire will help me dry the river below. Zoe said deliberately.
"I said, "Miss, you can't make this joke!" or we'll all get into the mud when we go down!" said Conrad laughed maniacally. It seems that he has found the feeling of being younger, and when he is with friends, there will inevitably be jokes popping up, and there is no need to scruple to talk freely.
However, the people waiting below did not have the heart to talk to Conrad. Glori was aware of this, too, but it was too late. On the banks of the river, it's not just the crowds. In addition to the patriarch mentioned by Cornelius, there was also Beech Ivan, a member of the third treasure hunting team, and a dozen or so soldiers in armor.
If God helps, then Glorry and his friends will definitely be able to brake in the air. But how could such a thing happen. So, let's honestly fall into the water!
"What about the welcome and the cheers?" Cornelius explained, "and when I came here, the patriarch waited by the river with a few townsmen. โ
"The welcome ceremony, obviously, they are waiting to arrest someone!"
"Fellows, those soldiers are not good. Hostility, too obvious. โ
Wei reminded him and folded his hands. He was the first to fall overboard. Subsequently, the waves appeared one after the other.
Glori didn't go so well. After falling into the water, he choked directly. He's what people say he can't swim. Considered experienced, he directly relaxed and waited to be pulled to the surface by Dylan or other partners. About seven or eight seconds passed, and the man who pulled him appeared.
"Come on!"
Zoe nudged Glori in the water, then tugged again just as she was about to surface. When he came out of the water, Glori coughed several times, as if he could die if he stayed in the water for a while.
"Catch them all! Don't let them slip away!"
The one who spoke was Kerwin Lรณpez. This man was the patriarch that Cornelius spoke of, and the father of Wende. It looks fierce, but in fact it is full of kindness in his bones, but this is in the past. He had a darker complexion than Cornelius, as he had once been the leader of the steppe cavalry.
A steel spear and leather armor, the more Wende looked, the more he wanted to complain. He didn't like Kirwin's dress, because he didn't like things related to the battle. He held back for a while, and found that the words in his heart could pop out on their own!
"Cornelius, this is what you call a welcome ceremony...... "Wende grumbled, "I might have known I might as well have listened to you, and it would have been fine if I hadn't come here." โ
"You have to come along. You've opened a few jars of wine, and you'll have to remember to pay them back. Cornelius muttered.
What's going on?Cornelius didn't look worried, and he didn't look expressionless. When Glori left the water, he calmed down. He really didn't like to plunge his head into the water, because there was already a shadow in his heart. He didn't want to look back on the past, so he concentrated on the onlookers and soldiers. Perhaps, if you look a little longer, you will be able to find a little eyebrows.
"Wait! what's going on? We're just looking for someone!" Zoe yelled. She struggled to break free of the soldier's grasp.
"Let me see. You're a lot of people, and there's a guy who can't swim. You have given me chains to tie his hands and feet. Kerrwyn looked aloof.
"She's right, we're just here for people, and we don't want to get in trouble. Glori explained.
"You're just the trouble, give me the honest cage in the car. Immediately, Kerwin pushed away a man who was in the way. His strength was so great that Glori could not only see it, but with a small movement, Kerwin did use only his index and middle fingers, and with a single stroke, he rolled the man to the side.
"Guys, call it a day, go back to the interrogation court. "The captain of the guard, Kirk, followed Kirwin. As for Kirk, Glori didn't have time to observe, because the captain of the guard had been wearing a full-body Kai, the faceless kind.
Glori got into the carriage on his own, and no one even touched him. He's not compromising, he's planning. He glanced at Dylan and nodded at him. However, Dylan was angry and did not react. He simply stopped doing anything else and sat cross-legged in the fence.
"I can boil this cage with just fire!" Zoe was talking to Dylan as Glori shook his head at her.
Fight, the time has not yet come. We need to be patient!That's what Glori meant, he believes in a tacit understanding with his friends. Calm and composed, there was one thing that Glori hadn't noticed, and that was the chains that covered the cage. If it's an ordinary chain, forget it, the key is a chain that is attached to resist magic!
"You've discovered the secret of the cage, so you'll have to keep your mouth shut and have some strength, and tonight, you'll have to go to the Inquisition!" said Kirk, whipping the cage with a whip. With his tall stature, with a whip, he could make the carriage sway.
What? Interrogation? Glori knew that a quarrel was about to begin. He had no choice but to close his eyes and just listen.
"Wait, father, I'm Wende, why are you locking me up!" Wende shouted.
"Wende, I don't know any Wende, and if you are an accomplice with them, then you will have to be unlucky!" said Kirwin, grimacing.
"Heh, things are getting interesting. I asked me to help, only to be fished ashore by the whole welcoming party, and we were in the cage!Winder!You're not asking me to help!" Conrad said reluctantly.
"How can you be angry with me? I'm still depressed! August 17, it's a good day......" Wende argued.
"You're pulling me into the water! I ought to have listened to Cornelius!" complained Conrad. As a result, Conrad was whipped by Kirk along with Wender.
Later, Glori hears that Wende has been humiliating Conrad, and he knows Wende's true nature. So, does Cornelius have anything to do with the people here? After thinking for a moment, Glori prepared to rest for a while and meet the difficulties of the night.
