Chapter 15: The Rising Stake
It's a burnt dress, and a burnt lightning rod...... Well, it's more like a charred Agares.
"I didn't expect your underwear to be so strong" Lou Yuandai opened her eyes and looked Agares up and down after the lightning passed: "The clothes are all burnt, but the ones inside are still undamaged." β
Agareth is worthy of being the god of the magic pillar, as a pillar, his function is very powerful, and he has successfully gathered all the thunder and lightning on his body, and Lou Yuandai, who is close at hand, is not a big problem - of course, this is also very likely to be the role of Lou Yuandai's protective shield. But whatever the reason, the end is already doomed. Lou Yuandai stood behind Agares intact, and the dress on poor Agareth was long gone, and even her fair skin was burned black.
Although the skin has also turned black, this Demon Pillar God is worthy of being the Demon Pillar God, and he still stands in place with an indifferent face, but his neck is a little stiff, and his neck is a little stiff, which Lou Yuandai judged by Lou Yuandai that it was very unnatural when he twisted his neck to look at himself.
"Does it hurt?" The atmosphere at the scene was very embarrassing, Lou Yuandai looked at Agareth, who was covered with a layer of black dust all over his body, and didn't know what to say for a while, and after a long pause, he held back such a sentence, and there was no necessary connection between this and the current situation.
"Now isn't the time to talk about this?!" Lou Yuandai obviously didn't include the two people behind him in the scope of the protective shield, but Adam's roar behind him was still very sharp, and it sounded like it was still alive, as if the huge lightning just now didn't affect him too much.
The lightning bolt turned the entire room the same color as the charred black on Agareth's body, except for the open space at Lou Yuandai's feet and the floor around Adam and Lucifer.
Since it is the top few on the wealth value list, there are naturally some means, Lou Yuandai does not want to know what these two people used to avoid this huge lightning, although her curiosity is very heavy, but now is obviously not the time for her to exert her curiosity.
"That makes sense," Lou Yuandai agreed with Adam's words for the first time and replied to him normally: "Then Agares." She said the latter sentence to Agareth in front of her.
"Decide what to do with the clothes, I don't think we can stay in this place for too long now. β
Although Agareth had a charred black surface, it was not a big dealβof course, this was only the idea of Lou Yuandai's party.
"That's right," Lou Yuandai heard Lucifer behind him agree with his Hua: "Did you hear this magical voice?" If we continue at this speed, I'm afraid it won't be long before we will all be dyed black......
If a passer-by heard what Lucifer said, he might not understand what it meant, but Lou Yuandai, who was in it, agreed very much with these words, if it wasn't for the fact that the action was too big and might speed up the collapse, now these people would simply applaud and agree.
"Anyway......" Lou Yuandai pulled Agareth, who was still charred black, with one hand and waved a translucent silk thread with the other: "If you fall from this height, you can't die, but if you fall into a cripple, that's for sure." β
"I don't want to practice what happens if I fall from this height now," Lou Yuandai said, and the strange voice that came into his ears became louder and louder: "The two of you don't think you can fall directly from such a height and still be intact, right?"
"Of course not!" Adam looked cautiously at the soles of his feet.
You can't expect a villa that has been struck by a huge lightning bolt once to still stand still, and the sound of rustling is a precursor to the imminent collapse of this villa, and all the materials that make up this villa have been scorched black by lightning, and it looks loose and loose like dirt. What's even worse is that Agareth, who can fly next to him, doesn't seem to be able to react for a while.
Just now he used someone else as a lightning rod, and Lou Yuandai was embarrassed to instruct him to fly away with him again. Besides, if this villa collapses, even the ceiling collapses together, even if it flies in mid-air and does not fall, the ceiling above that has been smashed into scorched earth by lightning will definitely be able to hit Lou Yuandai's poor little head.
"You two just ask for more blessings" Lou Yuandai turned her head and glanced at Adam's hair as if it had been thundered: "Sure enough, you can't talk nonsense about being thundered, maybe there will be a thunderbolt on top of your head in the next second." β
This was the last thing Adam heard Lou Yuandai say before the house collapsed, and then he looked at Lou Yuandai with a look of pity on his face and turned his head, without the slightest intention of taking away the two people she pitied for.
I saw her jump into the big hole that had been smashed by the fireball before, and she fell.
"Do you think that if it collapses on this, it will fall sooner or later, so you will die early and be born early?" Adam knew that Lou Yuandai must have been prepared to jump like this, but he still said very unceremoniously "Early death and early superbirth".
And Agares, who seemed to be burnt, finally moved after seeing Lou Yuandai jump down, and jumped from the big hole that was blasted out by the fireball with Lou Yuandai.
"These two people ......" Lucifer looked at the background of Lou Yuandai and Agareth a little helplessly: "I really think of one is one play, but now is not the time to be entangled in how the brain circuits of the two people are formed, let's think about how to get out first." β
Although Lou Yuandai jumped from the big hole, Lucifer didn't think that he would be safe if he jumped with him, and Lou Yuandai had no obligation to ensure his safety. And it's not just the road that can be walked by jumping down with Lou Yuandai.
"Do you need to prepare?" said Adam as he threw out something that looked like an airplane toy, and then it disappeared without a trace in his hand, and at the moment when the plane disappeared, the former richest man in the world actually spewed magical steam from his feet and flew up.
"It's just a temporary flight bonus," Adam said, grabbing Lucifer's shoulder, "while it's hot." β
It is very improper to use this statement while it is hot, but no one is now correcting the remarks of the former richest man in the world.
On the other side, Lou Yuandai, who broke out of the hole, threw the thin silk thread in her hand to the branch not far away when she didn't hit the ground, the branch Lou Yuandai chose was very high, if nothing else, the silk thread in her hand could successfully pull the falling herself, so that she would not fall directly to the ground in free fall.
However, what is not lacking in the world is accidents, and it is better to say that this is not an accident, it is completely expected. Because the silk thread pulled down from the corpse in Lou Yuandai's hand was too sharp, so when the silk thread was entangled, and finally wrapped around the branch at a high place, the branch made a snapping sound, this sound Lou Yuandai was very familiar with, she had broken many branches, and at this moment, it was the sound of the branch breaking that came into her ears.
"Sure enough......" Lou Yuandai twitched, and as soon as she stretched out her left hand, she suddenly felt that her body was light. Something hugged her, of course, there was no one else who could suddenly hug Lou Yuandai in mid-air now except Agareth.
was caught when she was close to the ground, and Lou Yuandai felt that her body was still moving downward after being hugged, so Agareth, who was hugging her, had to fall down for a distance before she stabilized.
"I thought you were stupid," Lou Yuan said curtly, and at this time she also looked up at Agares's face on her head: "I didn't expect your recovery ability to be quite strong, just like that, the clothes were put back on again, and the skin was so elastic again." β
When she said this, Lou Yuandai even stretched out her hand and poked Agares's very textured arm: "It's so white and tender again." β
"I came to this world to protect my master" Agares felt that the muscles on his arm were being replaced by Lou Yuandai, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: "If you let the master be in a dangerous environment, you really can't help it, so even if you are stupid by lightning, you will remember to protect your master." β
"What a reliable ......" The maid was just about to say the word, Lou Yuandai found that the clothes on Agareth's body were no longer the same skirt, the skirt just now had long been wiped out in the thunderstorm, and now he had changed into the masochist clothes again. Of course, Lou Yuandai just said that he would be free to change clothes, presumably Agares had long wanted to take off the skirt that was in the way.
"Ahem, servant" The words were almost spoken, Lou Yuandai turned around in her throat and swallowed the maid back: "Actually, this dress is also very good-looking." β
Lou Yuandai felt that her conscience was uneasy when she said this, although this dress may look good in the eyes of some people, but she is not the kind of person who likes this style of painting, so when she praised Agares, she felt that her whole heart was dripping blood. Agareth, who was used as a lightning rod by Lou Yuandai just now and was scorched, was so pitiful, and Lou Yuandai couldn't say anything demeaning to him now, so now he had to let his conscience continue to drip blood.
"The host liked it. Agareth seemed to be very happy when he heard Lou Yuandai's words of praise, and showed a smile reflecting the light to Lou Yuandai with a bared tooth......
Just a few seconds after Agareth bared his teeth, Lou Yuandai saw the massive building behind him collapse in the night, accompanied by gray-black dust flying in the sky.
"Ahem, cough, cough" Lou Yuandai really coughed: "I said what was the lightning just now? And that fireball, Agareth, did you see anything strange just now?"
"I didn't see it just now. β
Lou Yuandai listened to Agareth's answer, and suddenly a premonition of not wanting rose in her heart, what did you mean that you didn't see it just now?
"What do you mean, you see it now!ah!" Lou Yuandai screamed as soon as she said the word, because the ground where she was standing suddenly began to shake, and then there were several more large wooden roots rising from the ground in her sight. This is also the reason why Lou Yuandai felt the soles of her feet vibrating.
"Exactly," Agareth said without any wave, "a huge stump growing out of the ground, but it's a bit big." β
"That's really not ordinary!" Lou Yuandai took a few steps back next to him and retreated behind Agareth again: "I think it's safer to hide behind you." β
"It's my pleasure to protect my hosts. Lou Yuandai didn't know what kind of expression Agareth had on his face when he said this, anyway, he couldn't hear anything from the tone.
Now that the moon has risen to a high height, it is just enough to pull out long shadows from these huge wooden stakes growing from the ground, these shadows are very terrifying on the ground, Lou Yuandai exhaled a breath of hot air, these hot gases condensed into a stream of white particles in the cold air, and spread like smoke above his head.
It's not so cold during the day, but at night it can freeze when you exhale a breath, I didn't expect the temperature difference between day and night in this world to be so big, and the homemade miniskirt on my body can no longer withstand the erosion of the cold, and I don't know how the Agareth next to me who is wearing a suspected ** crazy clothes can do the atmosphere without gasping.
The material of Agareth's clothes was like the kind of cold armor, but it was black, and it was still very revealing armor.
A few curvy black armor-like things clinged to Agareth's very good body, reflecting a sharp light under the moonlight, plus Agareth was standing on the ground at this time and looked at the wooden stakes rising from the ground expressionlessly, so it looked like this person really had the temperament of a demon.
"If you just raise a few pillars, there will be nothing to be afraid of" Lou Yuandai looked at the wooden stake that did not stop at all: "I'm afraid that it will suddenly do something magical on a whim." β
"The master doesn't think that in such a post-apocalyptic world, such a magical thing can't do anything magical?"
"I think so. Lou Yuandai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, because she saw that the wooden pillars that had been slowly rising stopped and a total of five pillars rose from the ground, just forming the shape of a five-pointed star to surround Lou Yuandai and the others in the middle.
