Chapter 145: Freya's Disappearance
Along the way, Nia and the others encountered several waves of dragon attacks, but in the end, they were easily dealt with by several people.
Incidentally, after killing a few dragonmen, Nia and the others also found the small pterodactyl community to which they belonged. It's just that a group of pterosaurs of this size would not have a dragon leader, so a few people could easily slaughter them.
As night fell, the three of Nia also stopped.
Although Nia's spirit improved with the effects of the magic potion, her dissipation during the attack of the dragonman leader was irreparable. Therefore, at this time, her spirit was extremely tired.
Finding a safe spot, several people set up their tents. After a hasty dinner, Nia was the first to slip into her sleeping bag and fall asleep.
Originally, if it was in the wild, at least one of the three Nia needed to stay outside for the vigil, but in the Sky Tower, there was no need to worry about these situations. Since the dragonmen will only operate within their specific territory, as long as they are away from this distance, then they don't need to worry about safety.
The next morning, Nia was woken up by Hilda's push.
"Nia, Nia, get up. Oh no, Freya is missing. Kneeling beside Nya's sleeping bag, Hilda said incoherently. There was even a hint of crying in her tone.
Don't look at the fact that the three of Nia are at ease in the face of the siege of the dragons, but this is because of the complementary abilities of the team. If it were a single person, anyone except Nia, who had many summons, would be in danger of dying on the first floor of the Sky Tower.
Using this dilemma to tell these talented students the importance of teamwork is also the intention of the academy to arrange this expedition competition.
It is precisely because of this that Hilda was nervous to this extent when she found out about Freya's disappearance. She has always been a person who values friendship, and it is for this reason that she is angry about Nia in crisis, and because of this reason she is flustered about Freya's disappearance.
Looking at Hilda, who was at a loss in front of her, Nia forced herself to calm down instead. Although she was also very worried about Freya's safety, someone had to come forward and propose a solution in this situation.
With her hands on Hilda's shoulders, Nia hoped to calm her down a bit.
Then, looking into Hilda's eyes, Nia said slowly, "It's okay, Freya, she'll be fine." Before you do, Hilda, think about whether you noticed anything unusual about her yesterday, or what you all did after I fell asleep last night. ”
Things don't happen for nothing. Nia thought to herself, it must have happened yesterday while she was sleeping.
As Nia expected, Hilda, who had calmed down, said the information she needed.
Twisting her eyebrows together, Hilda thought as she said, "I didn't notice anything unusual about Freya yesterday?" By the way, after you fell asleep last night, I chatted with Freya for a while about the Sky Tower. ”
"By the way, this is it!" Nia, who had grasped the main point, hurriedly said. At this time, she also guessed some reasons for Freya's disappearance.
The Sky Tower of this world is also rumored to be able to lead to the heavenly realm. In Nia's impression, as one of the protagonists of the game, the female gunslinger is a member of the Celestial Garrison.
Because she accidentally learned the whereabouts of the missing princess, she became the key person in rescuing the princess. But when she was absconding, she was discovered by the enemy and arrested. It wasn't until later that he escaped from the prison with his strategy, but he had no choice but to jump off the cliff under the siege of a large group of enemies, and finally reached the Arad continent by luck.
It's because I know the identity of the other party. Even if the other party didn't reveal this, Nia still guessed some of the reasons why the other party disappeared, and it must be that after learning about the possibility of returning to the heavenly realm, Freya finally couldn't help but leave secretly.
But after thinking about this, Nia became even more worried. The academy explicitly forbade students to explore above, precisely because the monsters above were much stronger than those below, and that was no longer a place for first-year students to set foot in. Just alone, you can imagine the danger that Freya will face.
After composing herself, Nia walked over to Freya's sleeping bag. Stretched out his hand and touched it inside, and there was still a little body temperature left in it.
"Freya, she must not have gone far yet, let's hurry up and chase after her." Raising her head sharply, Nia shouted at Hilda.
Too late to pack their bags, Nia and the others hurriedly chased them out.
Sure enough, Nia soon spotted Freya in the telescope. But unfortunately, Nia had just found the other party's location, and with a flash of blue light, Freya's figure suddenly disappeared from Nia's vision.
After putting down the binoculars and greeting Hilda, Nia ran towards the place where Freya had just disappeared.
It wasn't until recently that Nia finally discovered the culprit that caused Freya to disappear - a teleportation magic array, which was now emitting blue and white light.
In the previous class, Nia had learned this kind of magic array. Seeing this magic array that was obviously different from the color of the normal blue ** magic array, Nia recognized it at a glance - a triggered non-directional teleportation magic array.
Although the stability of this magic array is higher than that of ordinary teleportation magic arrays, due to the complete uncertainty of its teleportation location, this kind of magic array is rarely used in life.
Of course, this teleportation circle also has another function, that is, it can be used as a trap to randomly teleport the person who triggered the circle to another location.
After seeing this teleportation array, Nia, who was already a little upset about Freya's affairs, said angrily: "Who is so hateful to actually set up a trap on the first layer, doesn't he know that if the teleportation direction is below, this trap is no different from a murder trap." ”
It's no wonder that Nia is angry, along the way, whether it is the appearance of the dragonman leader or the current non-directional teleportation array, its danger is far beyond the level of trials mentioned by the academy before.
However, after careful observation, Nia found that this circle was slightly different in terms of drawing, although it still did not teleport the circle in a directional direction, but the direction of this circle was only a few positions.
Those researchers outside would be shocked if they discovered this kind of circle, because this kind of design that is not directed and mixed with directional teleportation is not an exaggeration to describe it as ingenious.
Because of this, this circle will definitely not be drawn by those students.
Suddenly, Nia thought of some powerful being who had once occupied the tower. If it was his handiwork, it was really possible.
However, Nia didn't have time to study the circle in detail, as she had more important things to do. If this kind of circle is teleported at a relatively close time, it is very likely that the location of the teleportation will be in the same place, which may be the best way to catch up with Freya.
Taking out the connection device made by Amy from the backpack of the system, Nia opened it, and the pointer on it pointed in a direction after a rotation, which was where Amy and the others were.
Handing the device to Hilda, Nia admonished, "I know you have some grievances against Ophelia, but now that the situation is urgent, you must put aside your prejudices and meet with them. ”
"What about you?" As if realizing something, Hilda hurriedly asked.
"I'll enter this teleportation array." Looking at the magic array in front of her, Nia said.
"That's too dangerous." Hearing that Nia also wanted to enter the magic array, Hilda hurriedly dissuaded.
"But that's the only way to find Freya as soon as possible." Nia said, as if suppressing some emotion.
"Then I'll go with you." Hilda insisted.
"If you go with me, who will contact Amy and the others, who will call for help." Raising her head suddenly, Nia said loudly to Hilda. "I'm stronger than you, and I still have summoned beasts to keep me safe. This kind of pathfinder is naturally for me to do. ”
"Go ahead, remember to contact Amy and they will come and help me." With her head down, Nia stepped into the teleportation array without hesitation. Facing the unknown other end of the teleportation array, Nia was really worried that if she hesitated, she would lose the courage to enter.
Nia was naturally aware of the risks of entering the unknown teleportation array, but in order to get her teammates back, she had to do so.
With a flash of blue light, Nia vanished in place.
Looking at where Nia had disappeared, Hilda bit her lip so hard that she didn't even notice that she was choking out blood.
Yes, if she had followed Nia along, no one would have known about their disappearance. There must be someone to report the news, and she is undoubtedly the best candidate with lower strength.
However, Hilda is also extremely annoyed by her low strength, how different is she now from Ophelia who hid behind Nia before?
In her heart, the idea of becoming stronger could not be suppressed at this moment.
In the end, Hilda turned her head and ran towards the place pointed out by the alchemy equipment.
"Nia, Freya, you must hold on until we come to our aid."
