【Chapter 454】 Common Ground
"Rena, it's all up to you!"
In the city of Arabe, the port of bounty, hordes of sea monsters tumbled out of the black waves, and more than a dozen magicians unleashed dazzling magic in the knight's escort, bombarding the enemy.
With a gushing white spray, the petal-like carapace on the jellyfish-headed monster slowly opened, revealing transparent brain-like organs, emitting interfering sound waves.
"Leave it to me. ”
Eslena, who was standing in the crowd of magicians, took a soft breath and held one hand forward, and in the nervous gaze of the crowd, the Starlet Star Grip, which shimmered with a little starlight, appeared in her hand.
A magic arrow then appeared on the open bowstring.
Then, Eslena activated the Stellar Grip's own skill, the Stellar Realm. At that moment, his vision was replaced by a piece of starlight, slowly rising high into the sky, each star seemed to become her eyes, looking down on the entire battlefield from the sky.
The jellyfish-headed monster a hundred meters away, under the cover of a group of sea monsters, struggled to wriggle with its brain-like organs, emitting a faint blue light.
See you!
A star hanging in the starry sky fell from the sky and accurately locked onto the jellyfish-headed monster.
Shout~~
Magic arrows that shimmered with starlight shot out, dragging the starlight trail and rushing into the sea monster horde. An amazing scene happened, the magic arrow was like nothingness, piercing through the chests of the sea monsters, but did not do any damage, and the target was directly aimed at the jellyfish-headed monster.
In an instant, the magic arrow accurately hit the head of the jellyfish, and in the starlight burst, the wriggling head directly cracked, turning into a puddle of viscous gelatinous substance, and was thrown upward.
The sonic interference ended, and the jellyfish-headed monster sank into the pitch-black sea and was directly destroyed.
The sea monster swarm, like a tide, suddenly turned into a swarm of headless flies, and after a brief moment of confusion, once again retreated into the waves.
Victorious.
However, there were no cheers.
The magicians looked at the dark sea in silence with complicated expressions.
In the past half month, on the beach near Fertile Harbor, there have been groups of sea monsters rushing onto the beach, wave after wave, endless.
At first, every time they fought off the sea monsters, they did feel relaxed. Until the sea monster's attacks became more and more frequent, and the landing location was constantly changing, they began to be exhausted.
On the most days, they rushed to four combat areas in a row, and there was hardly even time to catch their breath in between.
No one knows when the sea monster's offensive will end.
In his eyes, in the vast sea, under every turbulent wave, there seemed to be countless sea monsters lurking, which would pounce on the shore at any time.
The situation in Arabe City is also very bad, the southern area where the poor people live, that is, the area where the elves originally rented, is now completely blocked, the curse is quickly spread through people, the knights and mages are exhausted, and finally choose to give up, directly blockade the southern area, and become a nest of toad monsters.
Due to the ravages of sea monsters, all the seaports of Arabe City were suspended, and countless merchant ships crowded the docks, and the business on which they depended came to a standstill.
In short, the entire city of Arabe was mired in a sea monster siege.
The mage guild in the city was severely understaffed, and several times wrote to other mage associations in the principality asking for support. However, the answers I got were that it was difficult to protect myself, so I had to do it myself.
In other words, not only the city of Arabe, but the entire Duchy of Vendôme was in an unprecedented crisis.
In the makeshift camp on the beach, Iluli, who had been running around all day, fell on the marching blanket and grabbed a pillow in her arms, with a look of resentment: "Oh my God! When will this life end!!! I can't stand it anymore, I really regret joining this broken association." ”
"Now I understand, the advantage in the association is not so easy to take advantage of. Eslena, who was sitting on the sidelines, was sharpening her iron arrowhead with a whetstone. Since mastering the divine power, at the instigation of Iluri, she has also been recommended by Galia to join the Mage Association.
And her magical bow and magic arrows make her an instant central character, and only her magic arrows can accurately hit the jellyfish-headed monsters that cause sonic interference.
"When is this day a head? Iluri pouted, she was lazy by nature and didn't like restraint, but the sea monster's attacks were frequent these days, and even for the sake of Galia's face, she had to fight with the army.
"Where the hell did those sea monsters come from? We can't go into the sea and exterminate them, oh my God. I can't imagine that the rest of my life will be like this, right?"
"Alas......" Eslena sighed heavily, she and Iluri hadn't been home for three days, and she didn't know how her family was doing.
Iluri kicked her calves a little childishly, "Ahhh ”
Eslena packed the sharpened arrowhead and inserted it into her quiver, looking at Iluri's funny appearance, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly, and a little sadness appeared on her beautiful face.
yes, when is such a day a head?
"Eluri, have you dreamed of a god lately?"
As a believer in the same god, Eslena naturally thought of that great being, and perhaps only he could solve the crisis in front of her.
"Well, no. Eluri shook her head, leaning on her arm, and thought for a moment before saying, "Are you saying that only the gods can help us?"
If God can't do it, what's the point of our efforts today?"
"It seems to make sense. Eluri nodded, "But...... How do we try to figure out what the gods mean? I mean, we're mortals, and no one can figure out the will of the gods. ”
"yes. Eslena put away her quiver and sat down beside Iruri, leaning on her shoulder, "But the gods have spoken of the evil that rises in the sea, haven't they?"
"Hmm. Exhausted, Iruli rested her head on Esrena's shoulder and played with her blue hair hanging from her sideburns, "The gods will not abandon his loyal followers." ”
"So, we need to be patient now. Protecting the city of Arabe is also protecting our families. Perhaps in the near future, the gods will rain down on his wrath and burn out the evil. ”
"Well, but I still crave brioche bread. Iruli burrowed into Rena's arms like a kitten, "Hee-hee, that's a feast for the gods, maybe eat more and get the gods' instructions." ”
You're just homesick.
Eslena gently arranged her loose hair, and was about to open her mouth to comfort her, when her pointed ears suddenly moved, and she whispered, "Someone is coming." ”
Elves' hearing and eyesight are already outstanding, and since they were promoted to witches, they have been greatly enhanced.
After a short while, the sound of small footsteps paused at the door, and Galia's slightly tired voice came: "Iluri, Rena, are you resting?"
"Not yet, yawn~~" Iluri got out of Rena's arms and yawned lazily with her arms outstretched.
"May I come in?"
"Yes. ”
The camp curtain was lifted, and Galia came in with a beautiful box in her hand, blinking her eyes: "Hey, guess what I brought?"
Eluli sniffed her nose and suddenly perked up: "It's the smell of cream!"
"Oh my God, Iruli, your sense of smell is too acute. With a look of surprise, Caria stepped into the tent, and behind her, there was a short figure, with long straight black hair and a black robe, which turned out to be Hadiris.
The box was opened, and the wheat bread filled with cream was neatly placed inside, and there was a unique sweet aroma that was refreshing. Galia smiled and said, "The last time I heard Iruli talk about the delicious bread you made, I was also hungry. So I asked a friend to go to your store to buy some and send them to the camp. I really didn't expect that this delicacy was immediately praised by everyone. ”
"Of course. Iluri unceremoniously grabbed a piece of bread and took a big bite, feeling the sweet cream melt on the tip of her tongue, her eyebrows stretched, and she immediately showed a satisfied expression: "That's right, that's the taste." ”
"Rena, do you want to come along?"
"Thank you. Eslena picked up a piece and ate it slowly, "By the way, Galia, is my family okay?
"They're doing well, and I'm asking someone to take care of them. You can rest assured that they will not be bullied. However, they miss you all too much and keep asking when you will be back. ”
There was an apologetic look on Galia's face: "I'm sorry, I'm the one who brought you to where you are. I really didn't expect those sea monsters to ...... It's going to be that tricky. All the magicians of the Mage Guild were dispatched, but they still couldn't completely stop their attack. ”
"It's really hard to take advantage of a magician. The outspoken Iluri teased.
Jialia could only smile helplessly, and Hadilis behind her quietly tugged at the corner of her clothes, and a subtle expression appeared on Mu Ran's face.
Eslena noticed the covert movement, "Miss Carrie, Miss Hadiris, is there anything else you guys are up to?"
"Ah~ Oh, that's right. Galia smiled and grabbed Hadilys's little hand: "There is indeed one thing I want to ask you about, it is about Hadiris. Sorry, you know, she doesn't talk much, so she asked me for help. ”
"Please say it, we will help if we can. ”
Caria showed a grateful expression and nodded: "That's right. Hadilys, I've been hitting some bottlenecks lately, and I'd like to ask you guys for your opinions. ”
"Bottleneck?" both Eslena and Iluri were a little puzzled, "She's a necromancer, and we're not the same as her." ”
"But you have one thing in common. ”
