Act V: The Battle in the Woods (Part I)

After a few minutes of following Lilith, Antoun had a basic understanding of how to control the appearance and disappearance of translucent text. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info didn't know what they meant for the time being, but the mere fact that they created a sense of familiarity was worth noting.

He didn't tell Lilith about this so-called bizarre magical ability, nor did he tell them about the "game" with the hornless demons. The former simply felt that this ability could not be asserted, and the latter was because the three and a half hours of the time limit had elapsed according to the position of the moon in the sky, and the "game" was over.

Although it may seem a bit whimsical to believe in the promises made by a demon, Antun just thinks that the hornless demon will not go against what he says, and probably his unique appearance also gives Antun a kind of bargaining chip to convince himself. Although he didn't know why the other party didn't find him, it was a good thing to escape after all, so he decided not to care.

And for him, the key now is Lilith's side.

Ever since Lilith's companions, who had only started working together, had introduced each other to each other, and she had said that her Lotus priesthood had been talking to Lilith about something, their movement strategy had been a bit hasty. As if they were hiding from something, their actions were so obvious that they were revealing the fact to the others at all times.

Out of the most basic trust in his companions, Antoun did not choose to take the initiative to ask. But he still expects the other party to explain the situation to him before the specific incident happens.

By the way, since he didn't have a comprehensive understanding of the terrain of the entire forest, and Lian had lost his vision, the direction of travel for the three of them plus a summoned creature was determined by Lilith, who claimed to have confirmed the situation from above.

After walking for a long time in the quiet forest in the quiet forest where it is difficult to tell the direction, miraculously without encountering any danger, the scenery finally changed in the eyes of everyone.

A small river flows through the woods, and if you look upstream along its tracks, you can see that its source is a dark cavern, and there is a wide clearing at its entrance.

"Let's go and have a look."

When Lilith proposed this, Antoun shrugged and said that he had no opinion, and it was naturally impossible for Lian to object. So they came to the mouth of the cave. The cavern, which looked like the humble dwelling of the Demon Mine, evoked some bad memories, and as soon as Antoon suppressed her discomfort and wanted to ask Lilith what her plan was, she spoke first.

"Antun, I think you must have noticed, Sister Lian and I are full of anxiety in our actions."

Antoun nodded his head to show that he had realized the fact. Incidentally, the title was also re-chosen - she had tried to call herself Monsieur Antoun, at the cost of him being called by his first name.

"I'm glad you didn't take the initiative to question us, which means that you really trust us and are willing to put your life in our hands. So now I've decided to give you enough credit. ”

Next, I am afraid that the key to explaining her current behavior is the key.

"Actually, we have something to hide from you. We are now being hunted down by a high-level demon clan, and Sister Lian was injured because of him. ”

At this, a sad look appeared on Lilith's face. Antun considered that he and the other party were not too deep, so he did not go beyond his identity to comfort him at this time. After a pause, she continued.

"On the road just now, I secretly used astrology to predict that this direction, to be exact, should be that there is 'something' in this cave that can break the current predicament. You also know Sister Lian's situation, if you want to go deep into the cave, it is impossible to take her with you, and it may also put her in danger. And as an astrologer, my power is not mature now, and I can only use the power of one constellation at a time. If you want to explore the cave, the power of 'Sagittarius' is indispensable, so-"

"I hope I stay here to protect Miss Lian, you and 'Sagittarius' go into the cave to find that 'what', right?"

This time, Antoun took her words as a matter of course. Lilith nodded her head to indicate the correctness of her conclusion.

"Yes, what do you think, Antun?"

"Hmm...... As a companion, of course I would say yes. But there's a question, what if we are attacked when you enter the cave? Miss Lian is still very weak now, and I should not have combat effectiveness, and I have never been trained in combat, no, to be precise, I should say that I have never even held a weapon-"

Anthun didn't finish his sentence, leaving a little blank, but it was enough to convey his concerns to Lilith. Ignoring the protest of "I can still fight" issued by Lian next to him. Lilith put her hand to her lips and thought for a moment, then reached into the satchel she was carrying as if she remembered something.

After a few pours, she pulled something out of her bag that looked like a sword. Looking at the blade that should have been loaded but there was nothing there, compared to the props that were like decorations, Antoun was a little puzzled. What happened next shocked him.

Lilith held the hilt of her sword and held it high in the moonlight, and silver-white particles suddenly floated down from the sky, eventually forming the blade. After this process was over, looking at the stunned Antoun, she smiled quietly.

"This is what I got from my master, I think it's called 'Moon Shadow'. I'll wave it to you. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Antoun to react, she raised her sword to pose in an attack posture that Antoun could easily understand, and then slashed, slashed, stabbed and other swordsmanship movements, then stopped her actions and turned her head to look at Antun.

"Well, it's easy to use a sword, right? As long as you hold this sword and can swing it, I don't think ordinary Warcraft will be able to embarrass you. ”

As she spoke, she walked towards Antoun and reversed the direction of her sword, as if to put it in his hands. And the expectant look in his eyes was like saying "let's try it".

Antoun secretly slandered her actions in her heart, and was about to cheekily say that she didn't see the movements clearly, and hoped that she would demonstrate it again, when a line of translucent text suddenly popped out in front of her eyes.

"Lilith Frankia taught you the 'Lucatia-ryu Basic Swordsmanship', did you learn it?"

Without thinking much about it, he subconsciously said "yes" in his heart, and in an instant, the image of Lilith swinging the sword just now flashed repeatedly in his mind. In the end, the words "Lukatia Basic Swordsmanship LV1" were added to the line of skills that jumped out earlier. Then, waiting for him to recover from his state of absence, Lilith's suspicious eyes were on.

"What's wrong with you? Are there any after-effects of the previous 'erosion' phenomenon? ”

"No...... Just a little surprised that you would give me the sword. ”

"It's not giving, it's borrowing. There is no way around it, after all, it is better to let you stay outside than to lead you to unknown dangers. ”

"That's right."

Having said that, if you continue to rip it off, it will arouse suspicion. The cheeky request was also skipped by the appearance of translucent text, and Anthun took the silver-white sword from Lilith's hand.

The sword was heavier than expected, and Antoun almost missed it. He increased the strength of his hand to make sure that the stupidity didn't happen, and only then did he simply repeat a few of her actions under the eager gaze of Lilith.

"Oh, it seems that Antun's talent as a warrior is at least higher than your talent as a magician, and it is impossible for ordinary people to imitate this swordsmanship posture just by looking at it. Although you have done a lot wrong, there are still some basic appearances. ”

Hearing her say this with great joy, Antoun felt angry. However, for the sake of the other party teaching him swordsmanship as a companion and lending weapons, he still held back his anger and pulled the corners of his mouth to make a smile.

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Everything that needs to be said has been said. Without further ado, I went to the cave to look for clues. Stay where you are, and do not move. ”

"Yes, yes, we're not children anymore."

The two of them put the lotus on the centaur's back, and Antoun watched as Lilith carried a torch from nowhere, and entered the cave with the tall figure of the centaur. So the rest of him had to look at Lian Mian - no, he was looking at Lian unilaterally, after all, the other party couldn't see anything anymore.

Looking at those closed eyes, imagining the hollowness behind them, Antoun felt sorry from the bottom of his heart. Obviously, she is still a beauty, why did she encounter such an unjustified disaster?

The more he looked at the hatred of the demons in his heart, the more obvious it became, and with what happened to him before, it can be said that he wanted to kill a few demons to vent his anger now. But that's just thinking about it, after all, with his current strength, it is estimated that even low-level demons will face difficulties.

"Mr. Antoun, are you there?"

Just when he was simulating in his heart that he was using the swordsmanship he had just learned to kill the enemy in the battle with the demons, Lian suddenly accosted him, and his tone revealed uneasiness.

"Ahh Ah, I'm here. ”

Antun, who had finally escaped from his own world, immediately responded, and Lian's voice seemed relieved.

"Great...... To be honest, I can't quite accept the fact that I can't see it anymore...... I felt very uneasy when Mr. Antoun didn't speak just now, as if I was the only one in the world......"

For this topic that is close to taboo, since it was mentioned by myself, Antoun had to take it up.

"Yes, looking at Miss Lian's silence along the way before, I thought you were very strong."

"Why, I was arguing for a while before. I'm just tired now, and I don't want to trouble Lilith anymore. ”

Thinking of Lilith who entered the cave alone and explored, Antoun couldn't help but feel admiration.

"Ah, yes, Lilith is the real strong person."

"I guess it has something to do with her teacher."

The other party suddenly mentioned the details about the other person who was not present and did not disclose it personally, which made Antoun a little puzzled.

"Miss Lian, what do you mean by that?"

"I may know the truth about the attack of the demons in the team, but for Lilith in that living environment, this is not something to discuss with her. But it's vital information for the life-and-death choices we may face next, and I hope to tell you what I've discovered. ”

"Is this something you can discuss with me?"

"Of course, because Lilith already believes in you."

After a little thought, Antoun decided to listen to what she had to say first. After all, in order to solve the current situation, information is necessary, true or false.
