Chapter 242: Friend or Foe?
The people in the hall fell silent.
After a long while, Rosen's voice sounded: "Sage, if you follow the method you said, is there a high probability of a body explosion?" ”
Niya nodded: "Very high!" Because it is impossible for a mortal's body to withstand the power of the gods, even if it does not explode, it will be greatly damaged...... The longer you do it, the more damage it will take. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, your body will be left with irreparable scars. ”
She sighed and continued, "Of all the magicians present, you and Max are the only ones who can be called powerful on earth. In terms of magic alone, Max is much stronger than you, but he is already old, his body is not as good as before, he can't last long, and besides, he is not obligated to do so. So, if you want to save people, you are the only option. ”
Rosen was silent again.
Mobius on the side waved his hand again and again: "How can this work?" Rosen's life was not his own, and there were hundreds of people in the ruins of the academy who wanted him to protect him. If he dies, everyone will be doomed with him! It's not a life for a life, it's hundreds for one. If Veronica was awake, she would never agree to do that! ”
Nia ignored Morbius, her eyes unblinking, looking at Lawson, waiting for him to make a decision.
After a long while, Rosen asked, "How long can Veronica last in suspended animation?" ”
"Hold on for up to five days."
Rosen turned to look at Veronica lying flat on the stone table, her ruddy face turned pale, and even in suspended animation, her eyebrows were still furrowed. Looking at the wound on her waist again, it was like a crack in the flawless white jade, terrifying and terrifying.
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Niya said, "Time is tight, have you decided?" ”
Rosen woke up in shock, he turned his head to look at the sage Nya, this woman was about fifty years old, with gray hair and many wrinkles on her face, she looked like an ordinary old woman, but her eyes were unusually clear. The strange thing is that in these eyes, Rosen can't see any emotion.
He turned his head to look at Max, the lightning messenger on the side, compared to last time, Max's sideburns hair had become snow-white, his face was wrinkled a lot, and his mental state was far less good than last time. It looks like a thin little old man.
Max sensed Rosen's gaze, he glanced at Rosen, and quickly looked away.
Rosen sensed that there seemed to be a hint of guilt in Max's gaze.
At this time, he had calmed down and was no longer in a panic. He savored the performance of the sage Nya, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be a hint of impatience in the other party's actions.
It was the first time he had seen Nya, and the second time he had met Max, and he had no idea about the character of these two long-standing great magicians. In such a situation, it is too reckless to take such a huge risk based on the other party's words.
He wasn't sure if the other party had other plans, but he knew that there was no free lunch in this world, let alone gratuitous favors.
'Veronica is in suspended animation, and I have five days left...... No, it's a little more secure, even if it's three days. Three days, if there are enough samples for me to try, it should be possible to find a way to detoxify. ’
'Where's the sample...... Yes, there must be a lot of monsters out there, I'll just go out and kill a few more. ’
Thinking of this, Rosen spoke: "Since there are still five days left, I want to try another way." ”
"Something else?"
Judging by the tone, the sage Nia seemed taken aback, but Lawson kept looking into her eyes, and there was still no emotion in her eyes. This made Rosen even more vigilant.
He turned to Max, "Your Excellency, I want to go outside, catch a few monsters, and find a solution to the toxin-destroying solution." ”
Max was taken aback: "You want to find an antidote from the Tree Demon Golem?" ”
"yes, I'd like to try."
"Impossible. The Tree Destroyer is an ancient demon whose power derives from the Dark God. It's impossible for mortals to crack it, you're working in vain! The sage Nia on the side very simply rejected Rosen's idea.
Rosen still insisted: "Even so, I still want to try, and if it really doesn't work, then I will rush back and use your method of saving people." ”
Nya the Sage still disagreed, and tried to stop it, but before she could speak, Max said, "It's a safe idea. Nya, let him try it. Rosen is a man who has a knack for miracles. ”
As soon as Max said this, Niya could only nod: "Then so be it." Max, you take him out of the dungeon later. Be careful on the road and never expose the location of the dungeon. ”
"Of course."
Seeing that Rosen was going to trouble the monster, Morbius volunteered: "Rosen, I'll go with you." The two of us can take care of each other. ”
"Don't!"
Rosen raised his hand to stop: "You stay here, in case the toxin in Veronica's body deteriorates, you can notify me as soon as possible." ”
"But ......" Morbius was a little reluctant, in his opinion, anyone could do it.
"No, but!" Lawson waved his hand to interrupt him, quietly gave him a look, and then continued: "You're Veronica's friend, and we're friends too, understand?" ”
He didn't particularly trust the two great magicians.
"Okay." Morbius understood what Rosen meant.
Rosen said to Max, "Your Excellency, please take me out." ”
"You come with me."
Max turned and walked towards the wall in front of him, and when he reached the edge of the wall, he waited a few seconds before another step appeared on the wall. Strangely, the staircase still goes up, exactly as it did when you entered.
Max walked up the steps, and Rosen strode after him. When both of them walked up the steps, the wall returned to its original state as if nothing had ever appeared.
Mobius Stei stepped forward and touched the wall, and found that it was cold and there was nothing.
"What kind of magic is this? Space Door? He turned to Nya.
Niya shook her head: "Undead, don't be too curious. ”
Morbius was bored, pursed his mouth, walked over to the bench beside Nia and sat down: "Sage, why do you insist on letting Rosen die?"
Niya closed her eyes and said lightly: "I didn't want him to die, he had to save the dragon girl." I just offered a way to save the man, and I also gave him the freedom of choice. ”
"Come on, you can't even lie to a three-year-old child, you know that Lawson will definitely save people." Morbius chuckled.
"Inhuman, I want you to be quiet, or I'll force you to be quiet." Sage Nya's tone turned cold.
"Okay, okay, I'll just say it." Morbius hurriedly shut up.
The other side.
About ten minutes later, Lawson was back on the edge of the docklands market.
"Good luck, young man." Max tapped him on the shoulder, turned and walked back down the alley.
Lawson didn't rush into action, he checked his equipment first.
The two muskets were intact, there were 47 armor-piercing bullets, more than 100 high-strength alloy balls used in conjunction with the energy pool, a manganese steel dagger, hemostatic cotton, 3 flashbang grenades, 5 high-explosive shells, and a bundle of rope with a grappling hook. There are still more than 400 kilograms of TNT-equivalent energy left in the energy pool.
'To do the detoxification experiment, I need to capture at least two living Tree Golems. One for the experiment and the other for the control. By the way, you can't get a headshot yet, and you can't move too much....... I need to make a plan. ’
