Chapter 16: Waiting
In a dim, damp space, Owen slowly opened his eyes. The pain that hit his whole body at that moment made him almost faint again.
It took a long time for Owen to slowly recover from his numbness and look around at his surroundings.
Sticky liquid poured from the top of his head from time to time, and it was almost pitch black except for a faint glimmer of light from a dim oil lamp.
Owen ...... Elder, are you awake......" Ron's slightly delighted voice was heard in the distance.
Ron actually hadn't been used to calling Elder Owen for a while, after all, the one in front of him was a close friend who had a lifelong friendship with him, and he always felt a little weird to call an elder, which made him feel a little awkward.
"Where is this, what the hell is going on?" Owen said with some difficulty.
"This can actually be under the ground of the Holy Capital. The bastard of Zangar actually took advantage of the sandworm's preference for rocky and sandy soil, and dug from the outer city all the way to the bottom of this chamber of commerce. Only then did he escape the eyes of many inspections in the imperial city. ”
Owen was a little puzzled and said, "Zangar is not a hunter, and even if he is a hunter, he has never heard of anyone who can tame a sandworm, so how did he make the sandworm obediently obey him?"
Ron said with a smile on his face, "It's the temperature, the sandworms have very poor eyesight, and they can almost only see things that are close at hand, but they are very sensitive to temperature. We just escaped from the big pit where the sandworms appeared, and when I came down, I felt that there were a large number of eddelweiss buried under the Chamber of Commerce, and it was because of this temperature that the sandworms were attracted here. And Zangar obviously knows that your pet is the Iron Spine Kodomon, this hard-armored monster is the favorite food of the sandworm, naturally he doesn't need to drive it, the sandworm will instinctively choose the Kodomon as the target of the attack. It's all in Nazangar's calculations. ”
Owen was so angry that his already pale face became even darker, and he coughed violently, and the wound was about to tear again. The pain in his heart made him bare his teeth even more, and the huge rosacea was trembling slightly at the moment, and Ron hurriedly advised him not to be angry, it was not good for the injury.
But soon, Owen calmed down, with a wry smile on his face, and said: "Brother Ron, it's my brother who can't stand you, I originally wanted to further improve your strength, but I didn't expect to almost let you accompany me to explain here." It's okay if I'm dead, and if something happens to you, I'll have the face to see that guy then. ”
Reading, Owen
's face was full of old tears.
"Alright, Elder Owen, aren't we all right? Ron said with a slight teasing, intent on easing the awkward atmosphere.
"yes, we're all fine, no, no. Why are we all okay? I remember I ended up being swallowed by a big snake. Is that ...... But this ......" Owen seemed to be pulled back from sadness by Ron's words at once.
He is a person who likes to break the casserole and ask questions, and Ron is naturally very aware of Owen's character, so he did not hide Black's mutation.
"Every time it encounters something related to the Demon Realm, Black will have a mutation, and it seems to be extremely sensitive to the breath of the Demon Realm, not only that, but once a powerful Demon Realm aura appears, it will also become stronger, and at that time I will basically lose control of it. Thankfully, it wouldn't hurt me. ”
Owen was also stunned when he heard Ron's words, and he didn't know what to do, and then muttered, "It seems that you should be born to be the nemesis of the demon world." ”
His voice, though soft, was heard by Ron. Ron just smiled, he didn't know whether Hei's anomaly was good or bad, how could he be the nemesis of the Demon Realm, maybe in the end, Hei would become an accomplice of the Demon Realm.
However, Ron doesn't want to think about these things now, after all, his current strength is too weak, and he can't see it at all, and everything has to wait for him to become stronger.
The ground eaten by the sandworms is like a labyrinth, with intricate and criss-crossing routes, and Ron simply laid out some simple defensive circles where they are, mainly to confuse the enemy.
So at present, it seems that the two are relatively safe.
It's just that there is still a trace of uneasiness on Ron's face, why does Zangar have the evil flame of the demon world on his body, is he a person from the demon world, or is he just possessed by the people of the demon world like Na Jeno? But no matter which one it is, it has sounded a warning bell for him, that is, the demon world has already extended its minions to the core of this continent early, and this time they want to disintegrate the power of this world from the inside and make it self-defeating.
Owen saw Ron's ugly face and thought Ron was thinking about the fossil. At this time, he also felt a little guilty in his heart, although this accident was not something he could have predicted, but it was somewhat because of him.
"Brother Ron, come here. Owen waved at Ron, motioning for him to come over.
Ron was thinking about his thoughts, but he was hit by Owen's voice
Broken, thinking that Owen was uncomfortable somewhere and needed his help. He hurriedly ran over.
Owen pulled out a rusty key and handed it to Ron, "Go to an Alpha bar in the eastern part of the Holy City and find a female goblin like me, who has a huge rosacea, and is easy to recognize." ”
Ron's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Your body is very weak now, and you can't do without people's care, it is so important that you want me to get something, it is better to wait for your injuries to get better, and we will go together." ”
Owen was seriously injured, especially the wound that was pierced from the chest to the back by Zangar at the beginning, the terrifying sword qi continued to destroy his body, making it difficult for him to recover, plus Owen's previous burning of life essence and forcibly improving his strength caused a serious burden on his body, which made it more difficult for him to recover from his current injuries. Ron estimated that it would take at least ten days or so for Owen to have some mobility, and during this time, if there was no one to take care of him, there would definitely be problems.
"Brother Ron, I know I can't do without someone to take care of me during this time, but I can't drag you down either. That goblin is my daughter, and you asked her to take care of me, so you can rush back to Fordshire for the internal auditions. There's a bronze chest in the basement of my daughter's bar, and I'm hiding the fossils in it. Zangar is definitely not a good guy, he will definitely attack the people around me. Although Alpha is just my adopted daughter and has nothing to do with me on the surface, I can't guarantee that she won't be implicated, so this can be regarded as a trouble for you to help. ”
Owen could see that Ron, like Klopp, was a very affectionate person, and would never leave him when he needed help the most, but Ron's time was also very short, and it would take at least seven days to get back to Fordshire from here. If there is a flying mount, it can shorten the time by more than half, but it is a pity that in a border country like the St. Fran Empire, where can there be such a high-end cargo as a flying mount. So he also thought of using this method to make Ron settle down and rush back.
Ron thought about it, but he also thought that Owen was right. It was safer to do so, and I agreed immediately.
It had been nearly twelve hours since he had fled here with Owen, and it should have been noon. He believed that the royal family of the Holy Capital would definitely not sit idly by and ignore such a big commotion, but to what extent they would go, he did not know, in order not to attract attention, he had to wait at least until late at night, and it was most appropriate to go out when all the defenses were the weakest.
