Chapter 4 Assault
Linas smiled and nodded, after all, she also wanted to know what could make a low-level mage run to such a place to die.
"Actually...... I'm from Luodong, and I believe you should know Luodong too!"
"Rodon!" Linas was a little surprised, and at the same time showed a serious and thoughtful expression.
"The ancient magic capital, of course I know this, but ...... The identity of the people who live there must not be easy!" Lynas said meaningfully.
"Hmm...... Almost!"
"So you're actually a rich kid, and the scars on your face are because of a family fight??, and you're here to escape the fight?" said Linas in a joking tone, while Kaos shook her head.
"No, I'm just an ordinary academy student, but I didn't have parents when I was a child, and I don't know if they were dead, anyway, I haven't seen my parents since I started to remember. β
"Oh, so you're an orphan?"
"I ...... I don't know if it's considered or not, and although I was raised by my neighbor's big brother, they seem to have left behind a large sum of money and a house before leaving. β
"Ohβthat's good, but ......," Lynas looked at the mask on Kaos's face, "where did you get this burn?"
Kaos's face was a little gloomy, "I have two friends who have played together since I was a child, and they have a good relationship with me, one of them is a genius, he has been very talented in magic since he was a child, unlike me, I have always been ignorant of magic. β
Linas nodded, in Luo Dong's environment, he was still a low-level mage at this age, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as waste, but she was curious how he got to where he was now......
"So I was often bullied by my classmates in the college since I was a child, and although my friends often stood up for me, this kind of thing was inevitable.
And every time I was bullied, my other friend always comforted me. She is a gentle girl, and she has always encouraged me, encouraged me all the time, and gave me support. In other words, she has always been my spiritual support.
However, half a year ago, the two of them suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons. β
"Gone?" Linas frowned, "Is it because of something?"
Kaos shook his head, "I went to ask the academy teacher, and the teacher said that it was because of family reasons, and the family dropped them out, and all this came without warning. β
Lynas seemed to have some guesses, but she didn't seem surprised.
"Then you must be sad!"
Kaos nodded, "Well, I became very depressed in those days, I felt powerless to do anything, and I didn't even want to go to school anymore.
It's just that later...... I met another girl. β
"Yo, you're a good little girl!" Linas said with a smile nodding and a smile. She thinks it should be a good thing...... Bar......
"But she's a liar. β
β......β
Kaos spoke calmly, looking very indifferent.
"She is the daughter of the president of the Rodon Magic Society, a noble daughter, who came to me when I was at my most desperate, and then deceived me, cheated me out of everything, pushed me into an even darker abyss, and left me with nothing. β
Linas was stunned for a moment, and she suddenly clenched her fists.
"Why did she do this, did she do it for any purpose?"
"Purpose?" Kaos shook his head, smirking self-deprecatingly, "As a carefree daughter, she doesn't have any purpose, she just thinks I'm funny." She tricked my parents into leaving me and burned it down in front of me in front of everyone. β
"This ...... It's too much!"
Even Linas was a little incoherent at this time.
"And what's the scar on your face?"
Kaos placed his left hand in front of his chest, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
"I thought I had met an angel, so I poured all I had into her, and it was because of this that she chose to take advantage of me. Before that, she asked me to go to an auction with her, and at the auction, she said she had a crush on a ring, but it was actually just a very ordinary ring, but she said she liked it.
So she asked me to buy it.
But I couldn't afford it, so I had no choice but to mortgage the house for a sum of money to buy the ring. Since the organizer of the auction was her father, the house fell into her hands, and it was not until after the auction that she and I had a showdown before the house was burned.
I felt like I was being teased like a clown, in front of the whole city, and then I put the rest of the money around me, and then I burned it with a fire, and that's how the wound on my face came, and after that, I came here. β
"Oh-I see, that means it happened half a month ago, no wonder your wound is still bloody. β
Kaos nodded, and that was his experience.
"It seems that you are also a very poor person! Abandoned by your parents, your friends don't know where you went, and the most important thing is that you were cheated out of everything by a liar, and you have come to this point. β
Linas still said this as usual, she didn't feel sorry for Kaos for telling him about his experience, after all, it was Rodon, and in addition to the superficial glamour, Rodong was also a place full of darkness.
"Alright, since you're going to start over, let's cheer up!" Linas patted Kaos on the shoulder, and Kaos smiled.
"Thank you, Linas. β
"In the future, the old lady will cover you, and you will have the opportunity to meet this slut, see how I clean her up for you. β
"Hmm!"
"Okay, it's not too early, let's go to lunch together. β
......
Three days later, a group of dozens of people walked through the vast Gobi Desert as if they were fleeing from the Gobi, as if they were about to relocate to another place.
However, in reality, it is just a group of people who want to cross the Gobi safely.
After Kaos joined the group, Linas arranged for Kaos to patrol the job, although Kaos was only a low-level mage, but he was much better than most of the ordinary people, at least he had some combat ability.
Linas had decided to leave the camp yesterday, and based on her reconnaissance in the past few days, she had a route through the desert in mind, and if nothing else, it was estimated that she would be able to reach Stanrow in six or seven days.
This, of course, is the most conservative estimate.
And so far, it seems that everything is going well, although there have been a few sneak attacks by the Warcraft herd, but the situation is not serious, with the help of Linas and several senior mages in the team, they have all successfully driven away the attacking Warcraft herd, and in this process, Linas served as the main attack output.
I have to say that Linas is much stronger than the high-level mages that Kaos has seen, at least this is not comparable to the teachers Kaos has seen in the academy, maybe in terms of magical attainments, Linas is slightly inferior, but her rich practical experience makes Kaos feel that Linas may be stronger.
It's something that takes a lot of life-and-death battles to be honed, and Kaos is lucky to have Linas by his side.
However, even after all these days, Kaos has not had any contact with anyone else, except for Linas, Kaos still has not let down his guard against others, and he has been forgotten by others in the team.
"Everyone follow my steps, be careful, there may be a monster that will tear you apart at any time, and I can't guarantee the safety of any of you. β
From time to time, Linas would give this advice to those behind her, and there was no way around it.
In times of danger, Lynas can't always protect everyone but herself, so even a seasoned adventurer like her can't protect everyone.
But luckily everyone in the team took Linas's words to heart, and they trusted Linas here, and Linas was the one and the only one they trusted, because she had saved everyone here.
When Linas spoke, Kaos kept looking at this big sister who was more than ten years older than herself, and I don't know when Kaos began to yearn for Linas.
He still can't forget what Linas said to him that night, and he will always remember that she encouraged him.
Kaos felt that he seemed to be a little different from before, he felt that he knew more than before, or he had found his own direction, or maybe there was something more in Kaos's heart, in short, he felt that he was different.
"Linas, how long are we going to go!" asked a man next to Linas.
"If it goes well today, we'll be in Stanro tomorrow afternoon!" said Linas.
......
In the evening, Linas organized everyone to camp in an open field, although there was still some time before dark, Linas still asked everyone to prepare in advance.
Kaos was assigned to sort out the supplies, and Linas was to take everyone around to be on guard.
"What an easy day!" thought Kaos.
In comparison, this is indeed a lot easier, at least compared to Kaos acting alone, he doesn't have to worry about sneak attacks and surprise attacks or anything, because with a powerful mage like Linas, all the nearby demonic beasts can be perceived by Linas as soon as possible.
However, at this moment, Kaos suddenly felt something, and at the same time, his face changed slightly. Because he seemed to smell a trace of blood, and then, faintly, a trace of magic that was invisible and imperceptible to outsiders floated out of the ground and entered Kaos's body.
