Volume II: Chapter 167: The Guardian

"Scarlet Stele?" Thor subconsciously chewed on the ominous name, and suddenly remembered a small detail from the previous cleaning of the stele, although the stele was attached with moss and vines, but the ancient font on the stele's surface was just exposed.

It's like...... Someone read the same not so long ago.

"Yes, I'm barely half a scholar. Look at this, this short sentence is composed of incomparably profound rune words, and if it is recorded in a book, there are probably dozens of libraries, and the huge amount of information is enough to make people's heads explode. Lorna's white fingers flicked over the stele.

Earlier, because he couldn't read the words on the stele, Thor only glanced at it roughly, and then he suddenly noticed that where Lorna's fingertips stayed, there was a line of bright red words on the stele.

That sentence doesn't seem to be long, but it's located in the center of the tablet, and there is a lot of space between the paragraphs in white text and this sentence, which makes the whole sentence look a little prominent, maybe the blood-colored stele got its name from this.

Sol suddenly had some bad premonition in his heart, but it was not specific and could not be captured.

"Please, watch my surroundings for me. Lorna said suddenly.

"What do you mean? No, what are you going to do?" Thor subconsciously looked around, at this time there was only an empty lake and a quiet atmosphere around him, but the ominous premonition in Thor was instantly raised to the extreme because of Lorna's inexplicable words.

When Thor turned around as he asked, he realized that Lorna was a little strange.

She was closing her eyes, holding the tablet with one hand and her heart with the other, but Thor was sure she wasn't resting or praying, but probably ...... Doing something you didn't know.

"Damn, what the hell are you doing?" asked Thor, subconsciously taking a step forward to shake Lorna.

However, as soon as Thor's footsteps fell, the entire stone monument suddenly erupted with a bright bright light, instantly filling a large area around it. The pale light came quickly, and Thor subconsciously raised his elbows to block his eyes.

By the time he let go of his hand in surprise, Thor couldn't find a specific light source.

He couldn't tell if it was from the stele itself, from the lake, or from the ground.

The white light around him was already connected, as bright as day, and Thor stood in the light blankly, suddenly feeling a nervous feeling of facing the unknown.

And with the emergence of strong light, the surrounding ground also began to shake faintly, as if it had triggered some kind of area-type magic. Feeling the ground tremble beneath his feet, Thor was sure that Lorna had done something damn good, and probably irreversibly.

"What the hell, what's going on?" the thief Kembert was pulling his pants and leaning in with a black face, as if his good work had been interrupted. When he saw the lake as bright as day, he almost scared off the pants he had just pulled on.

By the time the four of them got back together, it was clear that the three of them had already understood that the turmoil was caused by Lorna. But looking at her posture of closing her eyes and seeming to be connected with the stone tablet, everyone had no idea for a while, and they didn't know whether to forcibly interrupt her.

After another few moments, the bright light gradually dimmed and dissipated, and the tremors of the ground gradually subsided.

The surroundings returned to darkness, and the three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

After all, human beings are adaptive creatures, living in the dark all day long, and suddenly being exposed to the light will give birth to a sense of insecurity in their hearts.

Just when everyone thought it was over, just on both sides of everyone, not far from the dark vision, by the lake, there was a sudden sound of water paddling, as if something was ...... Got ashore?

Remembering that Lorna had asked her to take care of her surroundings before, Thor's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, and he just wanted to suggest that everyone forcibly take Lorna away and retreat immediately, but was preempted by the female swordsman Elaine.

"You guard the little girl, let's go over and take a look. Elaine explained to Thor, and then she and Kembert turned and ran in the direction from which the paddling sound.

Thor didn't have time to make a sound before he could make a sound, so he could only silently close it again.

After thinking about it, Thor took out a fly charm from the ring, put it in the pocket of his coat, thought about it again, and took out the random teleportation scroll as well.

Looking back, Thor realized that the lake in front of him was also a little abnormal, and the bubbles on the edge of the lake were tumbling and the silt was stirring and muddy. There was also a sound of water surging in the center of the lake, and it seemed that even the whole lake began to stir.

Without waiting, Thor made up his mind to leave the place immediately, before the real unknown arrived.

"Kembert!" Thor shouted in the direction where Kembert and Elaine were.

However, Kembert did not respond to Saul.

"Oh my God, what the hell is that!" suddenly came the exclamation of Kembert in the darkness.

Thor looked up suddenly, but Kembert and Elaine were out of view, there was no lighting, and Thor saw nothing. Turning his head, Thor was horrified to find a ...... floating up in the lake at some point Oh, the indescribable big guy.

What is that?lizard?catfish?lake god?rumored host?No, the host is a fart, it's an ancient beast, isn't it?

The silhouette of the monster in the lake is not clear, but Thor still has a sense of absurdity that there is a monastery floating on the surface of the lake, and the reason why he can roughly judge the size of the monster is because of the distance between the two eyes.

It had two large vertical eyes, clearly glowing with a luminescent yellow glow on the dark surface of the lake. The scales of its face can be faintly seen through the faint light emanating from its eyes, and it seems to have a dark beard like aquatic plants.

The two shocking eyes were looking towards the lake, obviously observing the stele and Lorna, but Thor who was standing on the side also had a sense of majesty that he was being stared at by the other party.

A monster of this size is obviously not something that the four of them can face, and it can't be doubled tenfold.

“...... Uhh

This guy's lungs ...... At least the size of a house, right?, Thor felt as if even his chest was vibrating with the sound.

Then, as if he had received some order, this time Thor saw it very clearly, and it was by the lake in front of him, when suddenly something rose up from the lake one after another, as if it was about to climb ashore, and there were many of them.

There were also large groups of strange birds that began to converge in the sky, and after reaching the top of Thor and the others, they began to circle, and I don't know if it was a crow, a vulture or something else.

Thor turned his head and ran wildly towards the woods behind him, far from the lake, not to mention abandonment, when the moment of danger came, he as an individual could not inform and take everyone away, each judging by experience.

However, Thor thought better, and there was a 'click' sound of stone breaking and earth shaking from under the ground in front of him, and a tall wall of earth rose almost instantly, and Thor almost hit his head against the wall in a daze.

If you look down from the sky, you can see a huge anchor-shaped thick earthen wall rising from the ground.

The tip of the anchor pointed directly to the edge of the lake, and the anchor post in the middle happened to separate Sollona and Kembert Elaine, and whether they had to flee to the woods behind the wall or the four of them to join up, they had to rush to the deep water area of the lake to bypass the edge of the thick earthen wall, which was equivalent to having no way out.

It's okay now, I don't have to play.

With a toothache, Thor took out the fly spell and began to fold it, but Thor suddenly stopped when the last corner of the spell remained.

Looking up at the earthen wall that towers into the darkness and is invisible, can you fly past it? and crows...... It doesn't seem to eat flies, right? Probably not...... Eat, right?Thor suddenly fell into a question that he had never paid attention to.

After a moment of confusion, Thor pulled out a random teleportation scroll.

Then he suddenly realized that not to mention the instability of this scroll, the key was the range and landing point.

Unless you're lucky enough to teleport to the dirt wall once, that's your only chance, or even wake up from your big bed tomorrow morning and chew on delicious bread sausages.

But if you accidentally teleport to the head of the troll in the lake, it will be very sad. No, as long as it lands anywhere in the lake, it may end up being a sad story.

So it's still ...... I'm a little uncertain.

Turning back, the enemies in the lake had come ashore one after another, and Thor had seen and had not seen all the way to this side.

Turning her head again, Lorna seemed to have finished her business, and her whole person looked shaky and weak. Thor hurriedly went up to support her, and his heart eased a little, it was far better to be able to have more third-order combat power than to face it alone.

"What did you do?" Thor thought it necessary to know part of the matter and see if he could find any turning point in it.

"I read the core text of the stele and caused the wrath of the Guardians. Lorna replied nonchalantly, then patted Thor's hand and motioned for him to help herself sit down by the stele.

"And then?" Thor asked.

"Then I did what I wanted to do, and it's up to you to protect me. Lorna sat back, curled up and pretending to look pitiful.

"You think beautifully, get up and fight, or we'll be doomed together." Thor's cheeks twitched.

"I'm sorry, although I'm very excited, I'm afraid I can't help you, I overdrew too much magic when I cracked the inscription just now, and now I need to rest for a while. At this time, Lorna's whole person looked white and weak.

"Lost in mana, isn't that a waste now?" are you still excited?, Thor felt his teeth start to hurt again.

"Have you always been so mean to women? You have to change, otherwise you will lose your personal charm. It's okay, you just need to hold on for a while, and I'll help you right away. As she spoke, Lorna took out a bottle of blue potion and poured it down, as if to replenish her magical powers.

I'm mean? I'm just too gentle to end up in the current situation. In the future, when facing these women who have escaped, we must first let them understand what kind of existence men are, and Thor secretly decided.

Since Lorna can still joke at this moment, Thor is keenly aware that this is obviously not because of her personality, but because she must be in a good mood now.

And there are probably two reasons why she is in a good mood, either it is not a certain death situation right now, or she has managed to obtain something from the stele that she does not know, such as a message, or some ancient and important secret.

Whether he wants it or not, Thor is now in the position of being used.

"Hold it up for a while, tell me how to support it?" Thor gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to pounce on Lorna in the lap and beat her ass, turning his head to look at the densely packed enemies that were getting closer.

"I'll sit here cheering you on with girlish admiration, and let me see what you're capable of. Go, my brave goblin!" Lorna smiled seductively at Thor and waved her hands happily in a gesture to repel the critters.
