Ninety-four
(Happy New Year's Day!)
Samuel suddenly appeared from behind, holding a pitch-black monster egg in his hand, the size of a vegetable basket, and smashed it the guy's head.
Hima gasped and couldn't speak for a moment.
The egg cracked and shattered immediately, and no one could have predicted that such a turn would happen, and there was a lot of viscous liquid flowing out of it, as well as the blank of some kind of magical beast that had not yet arrived and was fully developed, and it was completely impossible to tell what it was.
After Samuel's smash, the shadow mage couldn't even say a word, and fell to the ground.
After the guy fell to the ground, the group lost control and stopped where they were.
"Samuel, Lilil has finally found that space bracelet and your weapons and invisibility medicine......" Lilil walked out of the back room, saw this scene, and retracted her words, a little surprised.
"What's wrong, meow?"
She came out with a bunch of things and saw Hima holding a wand yelling at Samuel.
"Stupid stupid stupid! Are you stupid? I almost doubt your IQ! Suddenly it popped up! There is a monster egg in your hand that I don't know what it is, what if you smash it down just when it is about to come out of the shell! Besides, I don't even know what it is!"
"Are you annoyed, standing here for a long time without moving, listening to this guy's crooked!"
"What a meow! You're a fool! This guy is a shadow mage!
Liliel tilted her head, thought for a moment, and seemed to understand what was going on in front of her.
"The ......"
When Lilil was about to say something, Hima suddenly yelled.
"Rosema!"
Rushed towards the gate in the direction of the door.
The group of obstructive creatures was still there, and Himema chanted and chanted, and one after another turquoise vines and thorns spawned from the wand, tying up the obstructive creatures one by one, tying them up in a pile, stacked on top of a hill, and almost touching the ceiling. The spell worked so well that the creatures lost their master's control and would not move again, and as they passed, Hima reminded them to be careful not to touch them, as they seemed to have a violent poison on them.
"Poison, is Ruthma okay?"
"I don't know! I hope it's just a bluff, within a minute, a minute has already passed, what to do!"
When she crouched down to look at Ruthma, there was already a hint of crying in Hima's voice.
Perhaps she herself hadn't noticed, and looked at Rosema in a panic.
“……”
Samuel was silent and didn't speak, and Liliel looked worried, and began to comfort her.
"Meow, yes, it's going to be okay, Himema?"
As she chanted, Hima took out the healing scroll and used it on Rosema, Samuel couldn't help here, so she told Liliel not to interfere with her and walk over to see the fallen shadow mage herself.

At the same time, Lologh put the big and small fish that he had caught from the river yesterday in different buckets, and prepared the small fish for pickling, so that they could be stored for a longer time. The big ones can be raised first and roasted little by little over a few days to eat.
Lorog took out the pepper and busied himself with the preparations.
In an instant, his feet lost strength, softened, and he couldn't stand firmly.
Something rolled in his throat, and the vial with pepper in his hand fell to the ground, and Lologer couldn't help but spit out what was in his mouth and wiped his mouth, his palms were covered in blood.
The vision was a little trance-like, as if the world was tilting, and in the blurred vision, Lologh saw that the color of his arm seemed to have become strange, and his whole body ached, and the pain was very bad.
"Dew...... Ruthma ......"
The sight is completely black, and the whole world is completely black.
The former head shaman of the Suzaku Temple, the young Guru of the cat clan of the Wild Beast Field, fell to the ground on this day as peaceful as ever, and fell to the ground completely, without even anyone noticing, and fell to the ground silently.
At that moment when consciousness was almost completely gone, that brief moment.
There seems to be a light appearing, bright, gentle light.
Like, what else is there to hear.
Voices that are not heard clearly.
“…… At all times, never forget your mission. ”
It's as if I see someone, someone I don't know more than myself.
The man, the voice, flashed in front of Lorog, so fast that one thought it was a hallucination of death.
Lorog only knew that that person was like another self in the mirror.
******
A fantasy land full of spring-like warmth, but also full of summer-like heat and endless stars in the night sky, a mysterious and unpredictable realm of the void. There is no time here, and at the same time there is no infinite vastness, and it stretches and stretches and stretches, and it never ends.
"Is this okay? Not only can you not go back, but you will also use up all your strength. ”
"It doesn't matter......"
"Really, is that so?"
"Isn't he still there?"
“…… I hope he can live longer, Zhu, you say, when are we going to wait?"
"Who's waiting? He's still asleep?"
"I don't mean them, of course, though it's just the two of us now, but, having finally seen it once, the book is now back in her hands. If I hadn't missed it, you would have tore up a page while she wasn't paying attention, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to hide the law and resurrect a human race. ”
"I think I should celebrate now, it's rare that you'll worry about me, Xuan. ”
"No, I've always been cautious, that's all. ”
"Your personality is the exact opposite of what you were when you went down, and although I know very well that this is your nature, can't you admit it frankly? ”
"When will he wake up? It should be my turn this time. ”
"Don't change the subject suddenly!"
******
Samuel carried Lustma on his back and ran towards the temple branch, no matter whether what the shadow mage said was true or not, he couldn't just give up. As for Hima and Lilil, the two of them stayed in that terrible, foul-smelling house, ready to ask what they wanted to know, and as for how, it wasn't Samuel's knew.
Still a way off!
Why is this guy so heavy!
Samuel complained inwardly, but did not slow down, and continued to speed towards the branch.
Finally, the branch is just around the corner,
He almost hit someone, quickly apologized, turned sideways and continued to run, ran into the branch, and ran into the innermost room.
"Help! she's dying!"
Grabbing Luxma who was about to fall from behind with both hands, running here was not enough strength for Samuel.
Banged the door a few times with his shoulder, and soon the door opened, and Samuel glanced at the other and immediately put Rosema down.
……
…………
The potion that Vance had refined again seemed to be more effective than the first time, and Danica had been helping by the side, and after a long time, he began to see someone's eyelashes move, as if they were about to wake up.
"It's great......"
After so many days of hard work, I finally saw the results at this moment.
Suddenly, there was a whimper behind him, and on the bed behind him, Luxma, who had been carried back by Samuel.
Danica immediately walked over, this room was originally limited in beds, and it was already full of people and there were no extra beds. When Ruthma was brought back, Danica and Vance were shocked and hurriedly brought a few chairs together to serve as makeshift beds.
Apparently, Rosema slept uncomfortably, rolled over and almost rolled off the makeshift bed, but was stopped by Danica.
"Rosema, are you finally awake, do you want water?"
"Rosema!"
Looking at her, it seemed that she hadn't fully woken up yet, and Danica called her name again and shook her shoulder again.
"Are you alright?"
Rosema opened her eyes and screamed.
"Ahh
As if something terrible had happened, his expression was flustered.
"Calm down, you're okay now, how do you feel?"
"Here ......"
She closed her eyes and opened them again.
"Is there still consciousness after death?"
"You're not dead, you're still alive, you should be glad that Samuel carried you back, and I heard Vance say you were really close to dying. ”
"I see. ”
She finally regained her composure and understood what was happening.
"Your companions are next door, and so is Vance, but it's best not to disturb them just yet. ”
Danica also tells her that if there's anything she wants to eat, she can bring it up and Lilil prepares the food in the kitchen.
"Looks like you're really okay now, have a good rest, I'm going to sleep too, stay up all night, if the others wake up, help take care of it." ”
Danica left, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Walked out of the room and closed the door, Danica snuggled up to the door.
“…… It's tiring, but there's a bunch of mysteries that I don't understand at all......"
"It's like a miracle ......"
At that time, Samuel returned, still taking the unconscious Ruthma with him. Vance immediately checked on Ruthma's condition, thinking that she was the same as the people of the temple, but she didn't expect it to be poisoned, a poison that even he felt was intractable, hopelessly poisonous.
The antidote and high-level healing magic in the branch had no effect on her, and Vance, believing that she was hopeless, sympathetically called Samuel in and told him the truth. Samuel couldn't believe it, and Danica, who was watching from the sidelines, was surprised.
"This ...... It's really ......."
"Really...... That guy is telling the truth, that poisonous ......"
"It's really poison, it's poison without a cure, and it's a kind of luck that there was no wound on your body that touched her skin when you carried her. ”
“……”
Samuel lowered his head, wanting to get angry and scolding something, but he didn't say anything.
Why did he feel this way, Vivian was like this time, and Rosema was like this this time.
At the very least, Vivian still has a chance to save it.
But......
But!
Even if it's not her friend, Danica understands that this is a rather sad and sad thing, and after glancing at Ruthma, Vance said that if she can't be saved, she really can't be saved...... Before she could say words of condolence, Danica was incredibly shocked.
"Wait, she's breathing! The color of her arms is back to normal!"
Ruthma didn't wake up, but her brow was furrowed, as if she was having some bad nightmare.
After that, everything that followed, even if Vance was more knowledgeable, couldn't figure it out.
"Unbelievable, she ......"
Soon after, Lilil and Gema returned.
"I burned down that house. ”
Lilil persuaded Hima...... Meow ...... that shouldn't have been set on fire"
"If you don't set fire, how can you deal with those puppets? Dig a pit one by one and bury them in it? Those guys are all poisonous, and the land will be polluted!"
"Lilil thinks there should be a way to meow......"
Hima waved her hand, signaling that the topic should not continue, and turned her head to ask one more important thing.
"Ruthma...... ...... she?"
"It's okay, we're worried. ”
"Cured?!I've never touched poison, how was it cured?"
"I don't understand, so you'd better ask Vance. ”
Hima ran to Vance, but Vance didn't answer, and after repeated questions, Danica spoke for Vance.
"Actually, we don't know why, but when we came back here, we thought we were ...... She suddenly came back to life. ”
Hima didn't speak, but observed Ruthma's expression, showing a thoughtful look, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Did you hear anything?"
It is impossible not to hear from Samuel about their experience of this outing.
As for the Shadow Mage, Vance said he cared.
There are some things that ordinary people still don't know better. Jima glanced at Danica, Vance nodded, said to Danica, and walked out of the room.
Samuel stood in the hallway, and when he saw them come out, he naturally followed.
As for Lilil, she went out to buy ingredients.
For so many days, there were no vegetables and meat left in the branch.
Jima wanted Samuel to follow Lilil, but Samuel immediately refused, so he had no interest in following others to help buy vegetables and meat, Liliel told Jima not to worry, just go out to buy some ingredients, nothing will happen.
"After you left with Ruthma on your back, I managed to pry his mouth open and ask him why he was doing this, and where Popin was, etc. ”
"Will he say it?"
"He didn't know about Pupin, he didn't know that Pupin was here, but he knew that there was another shadow servant here besides what he thought. After he slipped away from that forest, he came to Jadeut to conduct his disgusting research there. ”
"Fortunately, it didn't evolve into a large-scale spread ......"
Vance sighed and rubbed his brow.
"That guy wasn't interested in ordinary people, and the victims of this lethargy incident were all test subjects he had chosen, mainly people from the temple branch. The victims who excluded this were accidentally caught up in it and happened to be unlucky. That guy cultivated a new type of Warcraft, remember the Warcraft eggs in the basement that we saw before, it was a failed product that he gave up. His latest achievement was picked up by Samuel and smashed on his head. ”
"I want to ask, are the other victims really just happened to be unlucky?"
Vance always felt that something was not right.
"I'm glad it didn't split out of my hand. ”
I then asked him what kind of monster it was, and all I heard was a bunch of inexplicable crazy words, what kind of most intelligent monster, unrestrained, not afraid of light, and devouring light, inexplicable. ”
"It's not good. ”
"That egg has been smashed by you, there's nothing to worry about, the problem now is Popin's business!"
Vance didn't care about what they were talking about, and he didn't listen to what was going on.
Although he had already developed a potion to solve sleeping sickness, as Jima said, there was no need to worry too much about the new monster egg, there was only one in that house, and Samuel found and smashed it.
Hima also set fire to that house, and everything in the house will turn to ashes.
Moreover, in the course of the conversation, it was learned that the shadow mage left early because he couldn't stand the toss of light magic. In the end, Hima still didn't ask much about Popin.
"It's a little hot, and the clue is broken here!"
“……”
Vance rubbed his forehead and sighed again.
"If I was there at the time......
"What's wrong?"
Samuel looked at Vance in bewilderment.
"After listening to you, I only know one thing, the shadow mage's methods, the puppet that harnesses the poisonous human form, and the new type of magical beast that I have never seen before. If the one you smashed down was his latest achievement, before that, there must have been other half-finished products, and this lethargy incident was probably caused by the trouble caused by the half-finished demonic beast, if you are lucky, we pray that there is only one......"
"Also, the potion that solves sleeping sickness, I'll explain the principle again, use plants as human carriers, and add shadow magic elements to them......"
Vance didn't want to touch any potions or scrolls about shadow magic.
Moreover, this kind of experiment may not be successful, this is the temple branch, and the protective magic of the light system is originally set up.
The success rate of this approach is a bit subtle due to regional influences.
Sure enough, the matter is not over yet. ”
"Yes, Meow, we don't know much about that kind of monster, we don't know its habits at all, we can only wait for it to appear on its own?
If you wait like this, you may have a sleeping sickness crisis in the whole of Serbro.
"We have no other way. ”
"There's another way that isn't the way out. ”
"Meow what?"
"Sword of Light. ”
******
Xiao Tie held the reins and kept spurring the horse. Luke sat behind him, and kept looking back.
Pamont also spurred his horses on and could not stop, and a whole convoy chased them behind.
They couldn't get closer to the convoy, which had archers with bows, and besides, they weren't familiar with the terrain and could only keep driving their horses forward.
After running for several hours in a row, I was tired and the speed was getting slower and slower.
"Sooner or later, we'll catch up!"
"It seems that one of us must be cut off. ”
After leaving the town, they drove away in a horse-drawn carriage, which had been on the main road for less than an hour, when a convoy began to appear behind them. At first, they didn't think much of it, but as the convoy drew closer to them, it was accompanied by flaming arrows, one of which hit the roof of the car, and the fire burst into flames.
They had no choice but to abandon the carriage and ride instead.
That's the crisis they're facing right now.
