Chapter 281: An Absurd Reunion
Back at the camp, Phines was the first to greet her, with some worry and inquiry in her eyes.
Thor opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak. On the one hand, it is because my current thinking is a little confused, and on the other hand, it is indeed irresponsible to suddenly leave the team and leave alone.
The siblings ended their dinner in silence.
"Are you leaving?" asked Finis in the evening.
According to the description of the team looking for food today, Thor was very abnormal at the time, suddenly running away without saying hello, as if he had lost his mind. Although the team didn't see the goal of Thor's run, it didn't prevent them from guessing blindly.
Later, the news came to Finis, and she thought that the only thing left to make her brother run in this maze was to 'leave'.
Thor was staring at the top of the tent with his arms crossed, all sorts of fragmentary thoughts swirling in his head, trying to figure out the clue. Hearing Phoenix's question, he looked sideways, and the two of them were only two paces apart.
"It's about it, but it's clearly not gone. Saul didn't hide it, if he really left today, it would be a pity not to say goodbye to Phines officially, so he just made a foreshadowing now.
For Finis, Thor has mixed feelings. After spending this time together, Saul feels that she is both like his sister, like a good friend who has been through ups and downs, and at the same time a strong and excellent opposite sex.
For this team, I have gradually gained a sense of belonging from the initial alienation and indifference.
Hearing Thor's answer, Phines's expression darkened for a moment, but quickly disappeared. She knew that he didn't belong here, that he had his life and past, and that he was concerned about the people he cared about, and that she shouldn't and couldn't selfishly ask him to stay.
"Give me your hand. After a long silence, Phines didn't think about what to say, so she could only stretch out her hand to Thor.
Thor reached out and was held by Phines, who could feel the delicacy and warmth of her little hand.
"If you go back, will you remember me?" asked Finis.
"No, I told you about the sequelae of the promotion. I won't remember being here, meeting you, or anything about this team. Thor was a little stunned, but he still brought up the old story truthfully.
"I can't imagine that as a younger sister, I can't even take a place in your memory. Phoenix's voice was a little lost, and her tone was a little self-deprecating.
Thor was speechless and was silent for a moment.
"You know the truth isn't like that, and while I never thought I needed anything like that from my sister, if I did, I wanted her to look like you. With his other hand, Thor leaned forward and rubbed her hair.
"That'...... If you're leaving someday, I'll send you off if it's too late. Fenis wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.
"Good. ”
Even Thor himself didn't expect that the day of parting would really come, and it would come so quickly.
About eight days later, Thor saw another figure in the labyrinth, and then left the group and ran wildly again.
This time, Thor had gained experience and began waving at a distance, greeting each other in two languages at the same time.
The black-robed figure in front of him turned around and looked at Thor strangely.
"I saw you once, in the ruins of a hut in the wilderness outside the main city of Odrenza, and you are ...... Oh, you didn't leave your name at the time. When he got closer, Thor suddenly spoke in shock.
"Boy, if you have something, it's almost meaningless, and I've never seen you. The black-robed figure dropped his words and continued to walk.
The black-robed man had two chamfered horns on his head, brown skin, and four fangs protruding from his lips without looking hideous.
The last time I saw him, he was wearing a nondescript short coat of animal skin, but now he was dressed in black. Thor had suspected that this guy was a demon at the time, but at that time, he was cursed, and Thor didn't have the energy to judge anything.
Hearing the other party's answer at this moment, Thor was also a little hesitant, after all, the other party's appearance is not as easy to distinguish as humans, and there are no too obvious characteristics. Maybe they're all the same race, if he had a race.
"True friend, you seemed to be doing research in an abandoned cabin in the wilderness at the time. And I fell under a curse, walked blindly and found the ruins, and then went into it to hide from the rain. By the way, it was raining. Thor walked beside the other and emphasized.
"When?" the black robe asked nonchalantly.
"It was probably late autumn in the 717th year of the Dark Calendar. Saul replied after recalling carefully.
"Heh, I don't know what stupid things you're talking about, it's the second and fourth year of the Guangming calendar. The black robe sneered, ignoring Thor who was stunned in place.
Thor was not shocked, but couldn't believe it, but there was no need for the black robe to lie to himself.
"Really, you told me at the time that you had lived for tens of thousands of years, and you said that you were not a demon, and that demons were just a bunch of bastards after the abyssal chaos. Thor was stunned and caught up with the black robe again, trying to recall some brief exchanges from the last time the two first met.
"Well, even if I did, or maybe we did, but so what?" the black robe stopped and thought about it, the other party's description was in line with the style of speech he would have, but these trivial matters only made him a little impatient at the moment.
yes, even if we do?
Sol didn't want to make friends, but he was a little shocked and emotional about the reunion in this fantasy world.
The attack method of the black robe is very strange, the monster in the aisle rushed, he waved the sleeve of the robe casually, and the monster was nailed to the wall with a 'snatch', Thor couldn't even tell whether it was magic or some more clever means, this guy was undoubtedly very strong.
"That's my friend, I'm trapped in this labyrinth, can you help me get out of here?"
"Does your business have anything to do with me?" the black robe turned around the corner, his tone a little cold.
"Nope. Thor replied, pondering what he could cost, only to come to the conclusion that he had nothing. Not in terms of material poverty, but in the fact that the tattered estimates that Thor could give were unattractive to the guy in front of him.
A wild boar suddenly sprang out of the labyrinthine aisle, and its hooves rubbed twice on the ground before crashing into the two. With the sound of 'grabbing', the wailing boar did not escape the fate of being nailed to the wall, and soon died.
The black robe waved at the boar on the wall, and suddenly the wind blade magic flew around the boar. Thor was a little horrified, those wind blades were too dense and frequent, and they seemed to be like substance in Thor's eyes.
The whole boar was skinned and the fur was thrown aside. The black robe raised his hand with a few simple wind blades, cutting off a few large pieces of meat from the loin and legs, and then several transparent palms glowing with a faint blue light appeared, holding those pieces of meat and flying on the side of the black robe.
Thor seems to have read it in some book, this dark blue palm seems to be called 'Mage's Hand'? I don't know what level of magic it is. The kind of magic he saw in this short period of time, and the subtle use of it, made Thor a little breathtaking.
When the black robe set up a fire, thinly sliced the pork with the wind blade, and controlled the magic hand to thread the meat on the stick, Thor realized that the other party was going to roast meat.
"Friend, I have a little bit of cooking skills, maybe I can have the honor to show you?" Seeing the black robe carrying a stick to roast the meat directly on the fire, Thor's wild road chef attribute flare up again.
The black robe was silent, neither agreeing nor stopping, perhaps he didn't care about what Thor was talking about.
Thor didn't care about the other party's attitude, and after thinning the pork slices with a sharp dagger, he evenly sprinkled the spices he carried with him, and the seasonings were placed in a small leather bag around his waist, which was also subdivided into several compartments according to Thor's requirements.
Each compartment contains something different, such as a small amount of salt or black pepper, or a variety of sauces in small clay bottles.
Although the small leather bag was small, it was not cheap, and it was specially made for Thor's second team next to the neighborhood, the camp where the cobbler's skills were mastered.
In fact, some of the currents in the labyrinth were brought up by Thor.
For example, the new business method of 'making to order', or carrying a seasoning bag with you.
Before, the people in the team thought that Thor was for decoration, but later Kratan, who specializes in 'eating' skills, first discovered the subtlety of this. Then this little spice pack began to spread rapidly throughout the team, and soon became a carry-on bag for everyone.
After all, it is inevitable to encounter various accidents in the environment of the labyrinth, and not every meal can be rushed back to the camp in time to enjoy.
When it comes to outdoor cooking, even people who don't have much cooking skills can make ordinary barbecue delicious with a seasoning package, provided that the barbecue is not charred.
The barbecued meat sprinkled with spices emitted a distinctly different aroma on the fire, making the black robe holding the meat he roasted suddenly have a chewy wax feeling in his mouth. Thor cooked the meat seriously, and then politely handed it to the black robe, after all, he had a request.
The black robe was not polite, and threw his roasted meat into the corner, quickly eliminating the roasted meat handled by Thor one by one.
"Not bad. In the end, the black robe gave such an evaluation, in his long life, he did not put the slightest energy into cooking. But after all, tens of thousands of years of experience are here, and there are really not many delicious foods that he has not eaten.
Thor smiled modestly, thinking about what to do next.
"I'm a person who doesn't like to owe people a favor, even if it's something as trivial as handling food. So that's it, don't follow me anymore, no matter what your purpose is for approaching me, I have my own business, and I don't have time to bother with you. ”
"If you just want to get out of here, the easiest way is to find a Voidmon and kill it. When it dies, a solo portal appears, and you'll be able to return to your original world. The black robe stood up as he spoke, as if preparing to leave.
"Void Beast?...... What is it? Where can I find it?" Thor's eyes lit up.
"It's said to be a nest of chaos, and time and space here are distorted. I've heard that the Void Beast has every layer, two small short legs, and only a vertical pupil on its face and a large mouth full of fangs, so it looks stupid anyway. ”
"Of course, these are all things that I have heard, and I do not guarantee the truth and accuracy of things, and I personally have never verified such a trivial matter. In short, the friendship of a meal is worth this. After leaving these words, the black robe turned and left.
