Chapter 113: Crimson (16)
(Cat pounces Chinese http://www.mpzw.com.)
www.mpzw.com) After a few long passages through Guò, the crowd finally got in touch with the Light again. When a faint ray of holy light flashed away, the endless courage returned to the Scarlet Knight again.
Direk's burning corpse was firmly entrenched in the knights' retinas like a stubborn speck of light, but the feeling it brought had changed from silent grief to lingering shame, and then to the fire of vengeance.
Illuminated by a few torches, Loria observes her surroundings. Barely able to keep up with the crowd, she discovered that her most reliable abilities came from her studies at Nomorigan.
Clement and Dodo carefully guard Loria's side, and the latter's experience of surviving underground has led the group to accept her command.
Wandering around, Loria crouches down from time to time, picking up pebbles or debris on the ground to take a closer look, and she must solve two problems: where is the exit and where is the best place to set up an ambush.
The creatures in the Utter Dark Cavern are almost certainly eyeless, and judging from the sight of the previous monsters, it should be not far from the surface and have a faint light source that humans can't detect.
The ground is occasionally littered with tiny metal fragments that are difficult to distinguish, and the passages that connect the caves are always passable - the underground cavern is almost certainly artificial.
Loria looked up at the top of the cavern, trying to find something that resembled a vent, but the light of the torches seemed to make it difficult to reach the deep dome.
She recalls what she saw along the way, drawing crooked and simple maps in a small notebook with the help of flickering firelight—man-made buildings must contain geometric laws.
After biting her pencil and thinking for a while, Loria looked up and said to Clement, "Let's go this way." ”
……
"Miss. With some hesitation, Clement said to Loria, who was about to lose her breath, "That...... I can carry you away. ”
"Thank you for your kindness. Loria categorically refused: "Don't look at me like this, I can walk!"
Three minutes later, the pink-haired Lori, who can walk very well, lies on Ahri's back, and the big fox, which can run in the wild for several days, is still very light.
Clement looked a little disappointed.
Gradually, there was a slight amount of humidity in the air.
Even with their heavy armor, the Scarlet Knights, who could walk all day, showed no signs of fatigue. Duoduo asked a little strangely, "I feel like I've been a day, why aren't I tired at all?"
The ever-dark underworld confuses the human biological clock.
"Three and a half hours. Loria opened her pocket watch and said, staring at the ground carefully, as if looking for something.
This subterranean ruin, with its rough artificial traces, is not only vast, but also has complex roads. A few hours later, Loria, who had taken the wrong route several times, finally found the key corroboration.
In a fairly flat cavern, a few broken stone pillars were scattered to the ground, and in the corner of it was a small patch of dry, dead-looking moss - ferns only grew near the cave entrance, which was already close to the exit.
"Take a break, I'm going to find a suitable place. ”
So saying, Loria jumped off Ahri's back, and the big fox seemed to be a little tired, and fell on her stomach.
……
Once the guidance of the stars in the sky is lost, the human biological clock undergoes interesting changes - longer work and rest cycles, longer awakenings, and longer sleeping.
It seems that the purpose of this trip has been completely forgotten, and everyone's thoughts are focused on those monsters.
In the eighteenth hour, the crowd wandered back and forth between several ambush sites near the exit, but the attackers did not appear as if they had never existed.
Claudia defiantly tapped her staff against the stone wall, casually firing a sacred fire at a cave lizard.
She always felt like the monsters were watching them in the dark, waiting for their weakest moment.
Highly intelligent social monsters are always the most difficult to deal with, and this feeling of being treated like prey is really terrible.
Twenty-four hours later, even Clement's constant whispers of admonition to calm down could not ease the anxiety of the crowd. She tried to arrange for the knights to take turns sleeping, but all of them suffered from insomnia.
Those monsters that hide in the darkness are like hunters, wielding the body and spirit of their prey with ease.
"Miss, please leave with half of the knights first. Clement knelt down on one knee in front of Loria again and said with a stern expression, "We can't put you in such a dangerous situation, and we will make peace with you when I and the rest of the knights deal with these monsters." ”
Get out of here and go where the light goes, and get a good night's sleep over a warm campfire.
Pink Lori shook her head sluggishly, dispelling the tempting thought out of her mind.
"You are in danger to help me, and I must not lose any of you again......" Loria shouted at Clement, "I am here to witness with you until the last moment, whether it is the flame of vengeance or eternal sleep!"
Clement tried to persuade him again, but Loria simply lay on the ground and couldn't get up, holding the ground stubbornly while letting out a 'whirring' beast-like roar with her nose.
Claudia, who wanted to step forward to help Loria, was bitten.
"Miss!" the impulsive Duoduo also knelt on one knee like Clement, whimpered, "I swear by the Holy Light that I will protect your safety with my life." ”
The rest of the priests and knights bowed deeply, and Loria, who usually looked like a natural cute seller, said the words of life and death at such moments, which more or less always moved them.
……
It's not about taking risks to buy people's hearts. Although some modifiers were added, the words were all Loria's original meaning.
She wanted to live carefree, and she didn't want to be like Gerbin who was shackled by guilt and never had peace.
To avenge one's fellow is to erase the death of one's companion -- the enemy of the hand cannot make the death of the dead a little more comfortable and graceful, but can satisfy the various needs of the living.
After all, she is just for herself, is there a better choice than to stay?
