Chapter 45: A Book
After Vanessa screamed, a dark shadow stood in front of Vanessa.
Standing in a different position, Ye Zhi saw the face of the black shadow. The dark shadow is the little boy, the little boy who opened the rich man's treasure chest in the labyrinth and did nothing.
If he heard it right, Vanessa was calling Gary? Ye Zhi became more and more entangled, if he remembered correctly, Gary was one of the thieves of the Broken Moon Mercenary Regiment, and originally it was Elna's person, Vanessa fell in love with Timis and mistakenly thought that Erna was targeting her, so she had already planned to find a suitable reason to leave the group.
Erna discovers that Vanessa has the intention of leaving the group, so she hires Gary and another priest to serve as reserve members. After the misunderstanding in the Broken Moon Mercenary Group was resolved, Gary and the priest joined the Broken Moon Mercenary Group and seemed to have a good relationship with Vanessa and Christina.
In the story that Vanessa told to Ye Zhi, it was Vanessa who was injured by Timis's weapon, and Erna couldn't believe it but was forced to be an enemy of Timis, and Ye Zhi later knew that it was Vanessa who told the story and not Elna, and the real story should be that Vanessa was injured by Timis, and Erna went to war with Timis in anger.
But according to this situation, Vanessa will not know about the scene where Vanessa is handed over to Gary by Christina at the end, unless she is not Vanessa.
However, the city lord Oriao has confirmed that the person in the castle is Vanessa, although there is a possibility that Oriao will accompany Winnessa to act, but Ye Zhi thinks that this possibility can be ruled out.
All the clues were crumpled together in Ye Zhi's mind, and then tied into a dead knot and hid the threads in the group, without a clue.
The entanglement did not produce effective results, so he could only put down the original clues for the time being, and then solve the problem after obtaining new clues, Ye Zhi thought so and looked at the main battlefield that had been suspended.
The atmosphere on the pitch was a bit subtle.
A half-grown child stood between the two, calmly talking, Vanessa healing her wounds behind Gary, and Orio staring at Gary as if trying to see him in a hole.
It seems to be expected, as soon as this idea came out, Ye Zhi wanted to pump himself, how could he not expect it, his thoughts were too negative, this seems to be a big material.
"You succeeded?" Oriao's voice sounded a little dry, like the feeling of sandpaper grinding wood.
"Sort of." Vanessa nodded calmly and continued to heal her wounds. Orrio didn't know what was going on, and just stared at Gary without interrupting Vanessa's treatment.
After this conversation, the surroundings fell silent again, and Ye Zhi watched as Vanessa continued to put healing techniques on his body, even though the healing techniques had limited effect, the wound was still constantly repairing.
Ye Zhi's doubts are getting deeper and deeper, if Vanessa betrays her faith, then according to the setting in the game, she can no longer use healing skills, but Vanessa can still use healing techniques, although the effect of healing techniques is not very good.
According to the previous logic, Ye Zhi felt that he could think that in a sense, Vanessa did not really betray the faith. If Ye Zhi's conjecture is correct, then what is the reason why Vanessa is considered to have betrayed the faith, and what is the black filament that she carries in her skills?
"It's a failure. It's just the most successful of the failures. Orio looked at it for a moment, the corners of his mouth curled, and he looked at Vanessa with a sneer.
"So what." Vanessa sat on the ground, the wound had begun to scab over, "Gary, kill him." ”
"Obey the master." Gary, who had originally lowered his head, raised his head and looked at Oriao.
"Hahahahahaha, master, that's really a good name." Although he was furious from being stared at by Gary, Oriao couldn't help but laugh out loud, from ordinary laughter to maniacal laughter.
Oriao's image completely collapsed, Ye Zhi looked at Oriao inexplicably, he didn't know where the laugh was, but he knew that this joke was definitely important for this plot line.
"Kill him!" Vanessa's words finally carried a sense of anger, and the murderous aura overflowed.
Two daggers appeared in Gary's hands, and his body shook a little, appearing directly behind Oriao's back, and the daggers stabbed at Oriao's heart at a tricky angle.
A twist dodged Gary's attack, and a long wound appeared on Orio's arm, and the flesh turned outward, but the blood did not spurt out.
Orio wiped his sweat, if he had taken a step faster, the dagger would have been plunged directly into his heart. Gary chooses too tricky angles, only by grasping the speed can he perfectly dodge Gary's attack, dodging too quickly and the knife will appear in the heart, and dodging too slowly will also dodge.
The wound on Oriao's hand looked terrifying, but it didn't affect Oriao's movements in the slightest.
"The game setting shouldn't be so unreasonable." Ye Zhi muttered quietly, this matter violates the theme of "Parallel".
"Ahh A scream came from the left side of Ye Zhi, and a priest who had given blood to Oriao was cut off by Gary, who suddenly appeared in front of him, and his left hand fell to the ground along with the cross.
This scene just proves that the system does not produce bugs, and NPCs will still be affected by knife wounds, Ye Zhi was not happy because of this proof, but felt that his left shoulder hurt for some reason.
The same priests, the same in the ranks of the city lords. Does this mean that after a certain blood refill, he will also have his left or right hand cut off by Gary?
Without even glancing at his arm on the ground, Gary returned to Orio and took one of Orio's attacks on Vanessa.
Before, Orio showed mercy to Vanessa's subordinates and did not be ruthless, and the same was true for Gary, but Gary was fatal to Oriao, and wanted Orio to keep his life under his dagger.
In addition to Gary, there is also a Vanessa watching from the sidelines, and Orio has to use all his strength, although he will not die, but there is no problem in crippling Gary.
One of Gary's dodges failed, and Oriao's attack hit his left elbow, and there was no crisp sound of bones breaking, replaced by the sound of the rubber band cracking.
Under Ye Zhi's surprised gaze, Gary's hand flew out, but Gary didn't feel it, using his remaining right hand, holding the dagger that was left, and poked it towards Oriao.
Gary himself didn't feel it, but Vanessa's expression changed suddenly, and unexpectedly he didn't treat Gary, but pounced on Gary's hand, who had already flown out of a distance.
Orio can become the lord of the main city, which proves that he is not a simple person, and naturally saw that Vanessa cared about Gary's hand very much, and Gary, who only had a full hand left in the empty control, also pounced on that hand.
Vanessa's speed was not as fast as Orio's, but she shot earlier than Orio, and naturally arrived one step earlier than Oriao, and as soon as she scooped up her arm in her arms, Vanessa turned to face Oriao.
When the two pass by, Gary catches up, relentlessly trying to kill Orio and fulfill Vanessa's instructions to him.
After a period of confrontation, Vanessa took Gary to find a gap to escape, and Oriao chased after a distance, because of the unfamiliar terrain, he quickly lost it.
After running a long way behind Oriao, Ye Zhi found that the places he passed by were all wilderness except for the small courtyard before, with no people, no things, and no way out.
The question went around Ye Zhi's mouth, but he never asked it. Oriao didn't seem to be in a hurry to get out, so he took the rest of the team around in circles.
The scenery of the whole map is the same, there is no recognition at all, under the continuous walking, Ye Zhi wondered several times if they had been rotating at an origin point, but they should have walked in a straight line, if they were rotating, they should have returned to the small courtyard.
After walking for a long time from the courtyard, Oriao's eyes lit up, and he walked up quickly, standing at a point and waving to the remaining priests in the group.
"Come here."
Everyone followed, and the priest and Orio were in the middle of the circle.
"Facing here, with the light of healing." Orio gestured to give them an approximate range.
Ye Zhi looked at the circle that was distinguished suspiciously, he really couldn't see any difference between that circle and other places, what did this city lord rely on to find it?
Doubts to doubts, Ye Zhi and the other priests began to chant almost at the same time, and ended chanting at different times, and several pillars of light hit the middle of the circle that was distinguished.
The soil had been cut by the healing light, hollowing downward, revealing what was buried underneath.
Orio saw what he expected from the void that appeared, and he was even more sure that the seat he was looking for was not wrong.
"Go on."
Singing again, Ye Zhi kept an eye on it, so that the pillar of light of the healing light deviated when he was not locked onto the target, and a small part of it shone outside the range circled by Oriao, and the healing light could also make the soil outside disappear. Ye Zhi's conjecture - relying on attributes to distinguish the soil, negation.
"Go on."
Whether to draw conclusions or not. Seeing that the things under the soil were gradually all revealed, Ye Zhi also became excited, he didn't ask to grab things in the hands of the city lord, he just wanted to take a look, so that he could go to the grocery store and ask for news.
"That's enough." Finally, after another light of healing, Orio stopped the priests and bent down to take something out of the hole.
An iron box, sealed.
Maybe it's because of reading too many novels, Ye Zhi's first reaction was whether this was the box where Vanessa stored soul fragments.
The contents of the box were ordinary, a book, the kind that could be found everywhere, and when he saw the book, Oriao was visibly relieved, but to be sure, he opened it and read a few pages.
Let Ye Zhi have a chance to take a peek, Ding, the main city, and history, it seems that it is just a record book of the history of the main city, Ye Zhi was a little disappointed, but he still wrote it down, he planned to go to the library when he went back, to see what was so special about this book.
