Chapter 10 The situation is clear but useless
Finn asked Cornelia and Orfiecher to follow him to another location. At a brisk trot, Cornelia told her master about her situation, and then repeated the situation of Orfiicher.
"It's really a blessing in misfortune, we all carry the Ember Bead with us when we go out, and we are more or less out of the state of confusion in advance. I didn't expect to encounter such an urgent and important situation. Fein said, turning his head sideways and glancing deeply at Ophi Yiche, who looked like a frog being targeted by a snake, and his legs and feet were a little unfavorable, "Later, you and Helena will act together next to the main field of the event." This new stranger, you also look at this a little bit. ”
Why did this man ignore me in the first place, and after listening to Cornelia's words, he looked at me like a prey!?
Ofeicher and Finn's crimson-gold eyes met once, and they hurriedly returned their eyes to the asphalt street in front of them.
Most of the town's pavement is paved with gravel, with a few buildings paved with a few stone bricks. The two only asphalt avenues can accommodate six of the largest four-horse wagons walking side by side, forming a junction next to the town square.
In order to buy a second-hand weapon, Ofiichher went to the place where the weapon might be sold half a day ago. He found that not many people could afford to pick up a weapon. Most of these people were the personal guards of merchants and nobles, the guards of the city who protected the town, and the rest were hired riders and knights. Only they can afford to buy brand new weapons and spend time maintaining and repairing them.
It seems that in another world, the cane is still regarded as an extension of the scepter, and not everyone except the princes and nobles can get one to play with. Many more people either use their own tools to support themselves as protective weapons, or they just go to the workshop and inlay a little scrap metal on a simple thick wooden stick as an emergency weapon against bandits—it looks ugly and is not easy to use, but the power of this stick is not low.
It was these economic factors that allowed the weapons workshops and blacksmiths to be located on the eastern edge of the town, but the weapons shops were located within three blocks of the town's center, along with the headquarters of the guilds, guilds, chambers of commerce, and various offices. Therefore, Ofeicher's small travels gave him a little idea of where he was at this time.
They were now heading towards the center of town, but two blocks from the central square, turned into another gravel path.
But Ofeicher hadn't paid attention to the situation on the gravel road, but his eyes were firmly grasped by the streetscape at the end of the path:
The giant shadow, taller than the two-story stone-brick café, waved his arm and slammed the brick-made house to the corner with a slap. The monster that was originally attached to the house with one hand was easily avoided, and suddenly flew into the air and let out a long roar.
He felt a sharp pain in his body, and he couldn't help but look down, only to see that the skin of his hands was cracking and falling in the severe pain, and the blood beads that oozed out were converging into strands. The heartbeat was like a crazy drum, and even the terrifying howl next to his ears was almost obscured.
He was about to scream in pain, when a strange and abrupt sound of low frogs surrounded him.
After blinking again, the sharp pain in his body suddenly disappeared, and the slightly calloused hands were still in front of him, except for some black and red filth.
Ofiicher looked up, and the sight two streets away seemed to be even more terrifying, and the mere sight of it raised an indescribable fear in his heart, and he had to flee with his legs. It's just that the scenery is blurred by a light blue film, which greatly alleviates his uncontrollable feelings.
"It's up to Mr. Finn to resist with his transcendent creations. I've tried not to look at it or think about it, but I can barely stop this attack with the magic seal. ”
A cold female voice different from Cornelia sounded. Ofeicher stared at him for a moment, dazed, before realizing that he had followed Finn and Cornelia to a blue-haired girl.
He guessed that this was what Finn was talking about Helena.
Finn stretched out his hand and deflected Ophieche's body, turning his back to the street scene, and then spoke quickly and hurriedly:
"There are still some side effects of the spinal cord of the diving frog, if you will notice something similar to the body and head of the frog on this membrane, don't look at it. Don't be tempted to touch a specific part of the film, and don't run out of here if you can't stand it.
"Now that time is ticking, I'll briefly talk about the current situation and the tasks of the two of you. First of all, the way to minimize the harm of a hidden event is to keep the target of the event away from the main arena of the event. If you have the energy to look away from those two demons, you will find that the target of the incident is sitting on a chair next to Gustav's Cafe, most likely unconscious.
"But right now we are not prepared to deal with either of the two hidden events of the Rotten Moon and the Akatsuki, and this range is at its limit. For you, it is at this distance that you may not be able to withstand their mental attacks. Not to mention the distortion phenomenon that comes into contact with after getting closer, it must be gone and never returned.
"You two remember, the act of taking them away is more hostile to the subject of the event than it is to get close to the target. I was able to walk up to the target girl, but I couldn't get her away in front of the two demons. ”
Helena thoughtfully said, "Don't expect to rescue the target - why don't we evacuate here?"
Finn interrupted Helena before she could finish: "That means you can't solve this matter with the goal of least harm, rather than giving up on the rescue." I'm ready to set out to find the performers and interrupt their rituals. ”
Ofeichher couldn't help but interject: "What's the difference between this and giving up? If those demons make two more troubles, Miss Charlotte will be accidentally injured and killed." ”
Fein glared fiercely at the interjection, "If you don't have the ability and the means to solve the problem, it's best to be quiet." Covert Events will not easily harm the target of the event until the 'real begin' of the program within them.
"Both Rotten Moon and Akatsuki will need their target to walk to the main arena of the event in the end, this time it should be the town center square, and then they will harm the target. And tens of thousands of people will be forced to wake up at that time to watch the real beginning of this event and its end.
This result would not only result in the death of only one of the target, but would also cause all of these spectators to suffer mental trauma and even go berserk, die, and self-mutilate in order to make sacrifices to certain gods. But on the flip side, your Miss Charlotte can't be killed until the last step of the event. ”
Cornelia had been frowning and pondering for a long time, and then she asked, "What does Master mean that you are going to interfere with the ceremony, and Helena and I are going to take down the target, Miss Charlotte, when there is a problem with the ceremony?"
Fein nodded: "That's right, this secret event came out of nowhere, and the preparation was very perfect, and even the two or three days of pre-operation was done while we were unprepared." If it weren't for the fact that both forces came to perform the ritual at the same time, the incident would have come to an end by this time.
"But the conflict between them has given us room to take advantage of the void, and the two sides must be fighting now, so they did not stop our actions at this time. And the source energy detection I released also had some gains, and it also confirmed that they violated the principle of hiding themselves as much as possible during the casting of the Secret Ritual.
"My second round of probing should be almost complete. After I leave the film, the two of you take turns looking near the target. Watch for half a minute per person. If you both find that within half a minute of your own, the demon battle near the target has stopped, then rush out to pick up the target, and then run along the main road directly out of the town until you can stop outside the shrine at the entrance and exit of the town. ”
As Finn spoke, Orfeicher saw liquid flowing on the membrane behind Finn, like several blue frogs with eyes on their backs. He hurriedly put his gaze to his feet again.
"What if, Mr. Finn, you fail, or are at a stalemate?" Orfeuichher couldn't help but throw out the thoughts in his heart, "Is there no second way to choose but to stay here?"
He felt another fiery gaze from Finn.
"Hypothetical—just hypothetical," said Fein after a moment's deliberation, "your mental resistance is stronger than that of me, two genius apprentices of all kinds, and you are willing to sacrifice yourself. There's another way: the three of you approach the target together, Cornelia and Helena stop in the remaining third, and you have to successfully resist the psychic attack, survive the third of the journey, and hand over the target to both of them. Then sacrifice yourself and turn around and drag the pace of those demons for tens of seconds.
"If you can do it, this kind of sacrificial combat is also the so-called second way. But I'm afraid you'll have to get to your Miss Charlotte with relative ease, and take her three or four steps out with all your might. You don't need demons to deal with you, you're already dead under a psychic attack. I advise you to dismiss this thought. ”
Finn and his two apprentices talked a little bit about the details, and then stepped straight through the membrane to the outside. On the dirt in front of the restaurant, some little trees gradually grew, as if they had said something to Finn, and in an instant they withered again. Fein stared in the direction of the square for a moment, then ran away in the other direction.
From time to time, Ofeichher tried to leap his gaze over the blue frog and look towards where Charlotte was, and an inexplicable fear still crept over him. To make matters worse, he was quickly drawn to the blue frog, and it became increasingly difficult to look away from it.
Isn't this source qi able to resist spiritual attacks? I feel like my head is going to be flattened by qi, and it's still useless!
The female voice in Zhihai denied: "I said that there are two ways to use the source qi, high and low, right? You can still simply regard it as an extension of the body's function, this is just a low-level usage, and the power projection of the high-level usage is not something that can be clearly explained, learned, and used in a few words." Now that you're being protected, sit back and wait for them to solve the matter. Really, if you die like this, see if I don't chase your soul to hell. ”。
Ofeicher smiled bitterly and shook his head, the two apprentices on the side no longer had the heart to ask questions about him, a passer-by who appeared inexplicably in the incident, but took turns to monitor the situation of Charlotte's demon activities through the protective film, and occasionally whispered a brief exchange of words about the situation and the question that suddenly came to mind.
He took a breath and tried to look at the streetscape two blocks away.
