Act X. Speculation
"A scarier being than a storm?"
Saston was a little puzzled, in his opinion, the Great Storm was already the most destructive scourge in the shallow sea, how could there be a more terrifying existence than the Great Storm, so that the Golem was threatened and escaped from the capital of sin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Does this mercenary know something?
He couldn't help but look at Lawson, and there was a little more doubt in his eyes.
"It's just speculation. ”
Rosen shrugged his shoulders and said that he had more information than these people to make such a guess, and what Tia said was still to be verified, and the appearance of a mere stone giant did not say anything.
"Maybe this Golem came here for a special reason, and until there is more evidence, there's nothing wrong with opening up your mind. ”
Hearing Rosen's explanation, Suston nodded.
"That's right, people have been panicking lately, and I don't want anything to go wrong. ”
He touched his chin and asked Holland.
"Since you've defeated the bandits of the Hot Wind Mercenary Regiment, the caravan should be fine, right?"
"Yes, we heard the battle earlier, so we came to check on the situation, and the caravan is still in place. ”
Holland didn't mention his hesitation to help, and since Rosen had managed to defeat Golem, the matter was left untouched.
"That's right, we've lost some men on our side, so it's better for the two teams to act together, it's not far from Istal, we should be able to reach it before dusk, and we can take care of each other. ”
Suston's proposal is quite in line with Holland's wishes, with the Iron Wolf Guard, even if he is harassed by the Hot Wind Mercenary Group in the future, as long as their leader does not personally take action, then Holland does not have to worry at all.
"Well, that's what I thought, too. ”
The two hit it off, and Rosen naturally had no opinion.
They briefly disposed of the corpses of the sacrificed Iron Wolf Guards, and those who died in the shallow sea would bury their bodies in the sand and become part of the Great Desert, which can be regarded as the soul returning to the earth.
To Rosen's surprise, the Iron Wolf Guards were treated when they followed them back to the caravan.
These guards were clearly synonymous with order in the wasteland, and the merchants were quite happy, and rather happily provided supplies for the members of the Iron Wolf Guards to replenish their strength, and by the time they were done and set out again, it was already early afternoon.
"What did you just encounter?"
Rosen rode his camel against Tia's carriage, and the girl in the carriage seemed to have woken up from a nap, and as soon as she opened her mouth, this was the question.
Her voice was thin, and it seemed to use some special means that only Rosen could hear.
"Golem. ”
Lawson didn't care if anyone else heard it, and said in a normal voice.
But it seemed that a protective wall had been enveloped around him to block out sounds, and even if Lawson mentioned Golem's name, the mercenaries and members of the Iron Wolf Guard not far away did not react.
"Are they those alchemy puppets stationed in the legendary City of Sinful Karma?"
Tia seemed interested, and there was no laziness in her voice.
"That's right. ”
"Oh, it's a shame that I can't see the 'Law Weaver' with my own eyes, but it's just an ordinary alchemy product, and it's not worth studying. ”
Speaking in a relaxed tone, Tia didn't seem surprised by this kind of stone giant that could still function for thousands of years.
In the girl's words, it seemed that even the legendary sage was nothing remarkable.
The heart is really high.
Rosen thought, and then decided to share his guess.
"They all say that a great storm is coming, and the reason why Golem came to the shallow outer perimeter at the risk of being destroyed by the storm is because there is a more fearful existence than a great storm in the capital of sinful karma?"
“......”
Tia was silent for a moment before continuing, a slight approving tone in her tone.
"I didn't expect you to be as stupid as you seem, but that's a pretty bold guess, and maybe it's pointing to the truth. ”
It seems that this mysterious guy can't be sure of the reason for the departure of these stone giants, but Rosen's instinct is that Tia must have more knowledge, so she knows more than Rosen.
"What could it be?"
Rosen asked, since this is the case, then why don't you learn more information from the other party, and be prepared.
"The Great Storm of the Shallow Sea is actually the result of the regular release of the magic residue left behind by the Chaos People who descended at that time, and if there is anything that can match or even surpass the Great Storm, it can only be the pure power of the Chaos People themselves. ”
Tia didn't hide it, and said so bluntly.
"In fact, it is also rumored that after the death of the people of chaos at that time, they left behind a soulless corpse, which contained a huge and pure power of chaos, which was the object of competition by various forces. ”
She spoke, her voice soft, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
"At that time, the Rainbow Tower and the Templar were in charge of the investigation, and it was not until they regretted that they could not control this power unless they actively fell into chaos, so they sealed it in the depths of the capital of sinful karma, and did not let anyone approach. ”
"Wait, you mean the seal?"
Rosen suddenly had some ominous premonitions.
The seal of the people of chaos was arranged by the legendary goddess, but today, ten thousand years later, it will still be bypassed by the people of chaos by various means, and how can the seal laid by the Rainbow Tower and the Sanctuary be guaranteed to be foolproof and will not be broken by anyone?
Thinking of what Tia said last night, this is the projection of the people of chaos who came after sacrificing an entire Ishbal, Rosen thinks that this guy is not like the wretched product of Byron Weis, and he may not be able to match it on his own.
"Don't worry, the seal is intact, otherwise you'll be facing more than just an enemy of Golem's level. ”
Tia had an unrelated tone, and there was no movement after speaking, probably going back to sleep.
Intact, in the words of the previous life, this is the biggest FLAG.
Rosen thought to himself, but there was nothing he could do in front of him, but he could only look for the people at the observation post set up by the Rainbow Tower in Istar first, and perhaps their loss of contact was also related to the current abnormal movement.
The journey continued, and it was already dusk, but Rosen still did not have the shadow of the legendary Istar in his vision, he looked around, and the others did not seem to be impatient, and there was a faint look of excitement.
Just as he was puzzled and about to ask Holland, a low chirp came from the sky.
"It's here. ”
Tia, who woke up at some point, also poked her head out, and a rare smile on her face showed sharp tiger teeth.
"It's finally here. ”
Saston and Holland finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their whole bodies relaxed.
"Where?"
When Rosen thought that some illusion was causing him to lose sight of the city, he followed Tia's gaze and looked up.
Then I saw a huge beast that covered the sky and the sun, soaring in the sky.
It was a whale.
"Welcome to the Sand Capital, Ishtar, the city on the back of a behemoth!"
In a slightly ostentatious tone, Holland introduced to the members of the caravan.
