【Chapter 371】 Adventure
"Yes. Eliel nodded with difficulty, "Many, many, they surrounded the mill." When Mesha and I managed to escape from the rooftop, we could see fish monsters crawling ashore from the sea. ”
Esrena's expression was uncertain, she thought that by escaping incognito in Arabe, she would be able to avoid the fish monsters. But I never expected that the disaster of the fish monster would spread to the seashore of Arabe.
Arabe is a typical port city with a long coastline that is simply a tailor-made landing ground for fish monsters.
"It seems that the majestic Krem is right. Iruli frowned slightly, "Evil is rising from the sea, greedily wanting to take over the land. ”
"That god of yours?" Eslena looked over.
"Yes, my gods. "Iluli is now a believer in Qin Song, with confidence between her eyebrows," he successfully predicted all this. Meisha, don't move, let me see your wounds. ”
With a gentle movement, Iluri lifted the bandage on her shoulder, revealing three bloody scratches, "In their claws, maybe there are also that horrible little bugs." ”
"Eluri, don't scare me. Mesa's face was full of horror.
"Didn't scare you. Iluri looked up, "Just guessing, does your wound feel particularly itchy?"
Esrena's heart also lifted, and her face was full of nervousness, "Messa, tell Iluri how you feel." ”
"Yes......" Meisha nodded with a pale face, "On the way back, I felt that the wound was very itchy and painful. The indescribable itch is like a lot of little bugs crawling inside the flesh. ”
Iluri and Eslena looked at each other, "That's how little Joel was in the first place. ”
As soon as she heard this, Meisha almost broke down, and cried, "I don't want to become that ugly fish monster." ”
"No, Meisha, trust me. Encouraging her, Iluli took the Radiant Crystal from her bosom and gently pressed it against her wound.
After the wonderful thing happened, something in the hideous wound began to squirm, and then formed a thin gray-green scab, which slowly fell off, revealing a piece of pink tender flesh, which grew at a rate visible to the naked eye, forming muscle and skin.
In just a few minutes, the horrible scratch disappeared and the skin returned to its original state.
"It really works. Iruli let out a long sigh of relief, "I'm glad to have this gem given to me by the gods, otherwise you and little Joel would have been more than lucky." ”
Meisha touched her shiny and delicate shoulder with an incredulous face, "Iluri, thank you, and thank you to your gods." It's amazing, it's amazing, I feel like I've never been hurt right now. ”
"Don't rush to thank me just yet......" Iluri shook her head a little dejectedly, the radiant crystal healed Mesha's wounds, but the luster dimmed significantly, "I have a hunch that the power of this gem is weakening, I'm afraid it won't be used a few times." ”
The magic contained in the Radiant Crystal is not endless. Solving the curse in Little Joel's mouth and healing Mesa's wounds cost most of his mana.
"Iluri. Esrena patted her on the shoulder and looked at the gem in her palm, and at this moment, she had to admit that this gem given by another god had extraordinary powers.
"Take good care of it. "Maybe you're right, since the flour hasn't arrived, our shop will be closed for two days. ”
"Hmm. Iluri nodded, "Rena, I have a proposal. ”
"Proposal?"
"That's right!" said Iruli, touching the twin blades around her waist, "those fish monsters have hurt our sisters, and we must take revenge." So, I decided to go to the eastern coast ......"
Before she could finish her sentence, Eslena immediately objected, "No, Iluri. That's too risky, there are knights, navy, and a powerful mage guild in the principality, and they will definitely deal with the attack of the fish monsters. We don't have ......."
"No, you're wrong, Rena. Determination was written on Iluri's face, and she slowly shook her head, "It's not just about avenging Mesa, it's also about fulfilling my promise to the gods, I want to fight evil and repay his kindness." ”
"This ......" Esrena didn't know how to refute for a moment, she was silent for a while, and spat out the same firm sentence, "I'll go with you!"
"Rena. ”
"Iluri, I respect your opinion. Please also respect my opinion. Esrena's eyes burned, "We are sisters, and I won't let you go on an adventure alone." ”
"And me, Eluri, I know what's going on over there. Iliel also took the initiative to ask.
"Hmm. Iluri nodded heavily, "Just the three of us, the rest of the sisters stay at home to protect their families." And you, Meisha, take care of your injuries. ”
"I'm healed, I'm going too, Iluri. Meisha shook her head.
"No, I don't agree either. Eslena patted her on the shoulder, "Meisha, the situation on the coast is complicated, not the more people the better, just need Iliel to lead the way." You stay at home, and your family needs your care. ”
"Okay...... "Mesa nodded a little frustrated, "you guys...... You must pay attention to Ann. ”
"Don't worry. ”
Iluri is a typical actionist, and she was tired of staying in the store, so she immediately made a simple preparation with Eslena and Iliel, and rushed to Dongcheng District together.
As if to verify Iliel's words, the entire Dongcheng District has also undergone obvious changes, and many vendors have closed their stalls and gone home. In the streets and alleys, there were constantly armed knights marching hurriedly.
Illuri, Esrena, and Eliel, all wearing hooded cloaks and veils covering their faces, dodge the knights with elven senses.
"Wait a minute. ”
Approaching the corner of an alley on the edge of the East City, Eslena stopped in her footsteps, took Illuri and Iriel, turned back, and hid in the shadow of a stone corridor.
A group of brightly armored knights was passing through the alley ahead. But this time, it seemed that something was different, in the center of the knight's procession, there were two more people in obviously different costumes, wearing loose and gorgeous robes, each holding a strange-shaped staff.
"That's the mage of the Freethinking Mage Association. After waiting for the team in front of her to pass, Eslena lowered her voice, "It seems that something big has indeed happened on the east coast, and even the mages are alarmed." ”
Iluri nodded, "Rena, let's go along and have a look." If none of these mages can deal with the fish monsters, the city of Arabe will be in danger. ”
The city of Arrabe is in crisis, which is equivalent to the family in crisis, and Iluri's proposal is approved by Esrena, and the footprints left by the knights are the best navigation.
Dongcheng District is closer to the coast and port, and the commerce is more developed, and the population is densely populated, and the riders of the brigade walk through the streets, and the residents of these merchants are also clearly aware of the smell of danger.
The city gates were even more noisy, and a large number of fleeing refugees poured in, quickly spreading the terrifying news of the fish monster invasion. For a time, the entire Dongcheng District was in turmoil, and people were panicked.
During the riot at the city gates, a large number of guards were sent over. Iluri and Esreina found a place to defend the empty city wall, and with the help of a grappling hook, they successfully climbed over the city wall and came to the outside of the city.
The red sun was setting in the west, and the twilight was thickening in the shade, and everywhere was a desolate landscape, and a hazy mist rose from the sea, slowly advancing towards the shore.
The following group eventually stopped on a gentle slope near the shore and began to set up makeshift tents to camp there for the night.
"Strange, why is it almost to the beach, and I don't see the fish monster?"
Eluli and the others lurked in a wild wood, climbing up the trees and observing the knights' camp through the cracks, but Iriel thought something strange.
"Iriel, when and how were you attacked?" asked Esrena, unpacking her baggage and taking out her longbow and quiver.
"Mesha and I set out in the wee hours of the morning, and it was still some time before dawn when we arrived at the mill. It was then that the cattle outside the mill suddenly began to stir, and Mesa felt that something was wrong, and that someone was going to steal our pack horses. Unexpectedly, the fish monster took advantage of the darkness and was surrounding the mill. Mesa got into a fight with one of them, and after injuring her shoulder, she retreated to the mill. And then - the fish monster came out of the doorway window. ”
"I really couldn't help it, so I took Mesha and put a grappling hook on the roof, lifted the planks of the roof, and escaped. But the miller and his men died. ”
"It's not your fault, Eliel. Eslena comforted Iriel, pondering for a moment, "What do you think, Ilully?"
"It's simple. "Eluri stomped on the branches, leaned her back against the trunk of the tree, and wiped her scimitar with a cloth" The evil of the deep sea, they must be accustomed to the darkness of the sea, and do not like daylight. It's the same in the Broken Rock Islands, not just for seclusion, but because they don't like the sun at all. ”
"So. Iluri paused, looking at the knight's camp in the distance, "When Iriel and the others fled back, the sky was bright, and the fish monsters must have retreated into the ocean." ”
"I think the same as you. Eslena nodded, "Night...... It seems that those knights and mages are not destined to be peaceful this night. ”
"Wait, look!" said Iliel in a low voice, "there's a little girl over there." ”
In the twilight, the last rays of the red sun illuminated the shore blood red. In a place covered with black rocks, there stood a small figure, who looked to be a little girl of seven or eight years old, crying.
"There's one more. Eslena's eyesight was better, and at the same time she noticed that beside the little girl, there was a silent figure, half of her body covered by the rocks.
