Act 22: The Calamity (II)
Act 22 Plague (II)
Time passed slowly, and the sun seemed to be hanging high overhead, and in the blink of an eye, it had already disappeared into the other side of the horizon. Standing in the room and looking out, it was a deep darkness. There are no stars and no moon here. When the only source of light sinks below the horizon, the world becomes so dark that you can barely see a few paces away. The wind grew cold at night, whistling across the desert and rolling up a little bit of fine sand. Nashashuo began to gather at the door of the village, and then whistled and swept by, blowing the windows with a 'whirring' sound.
Remembering the day's magic, Avis stepped out of bed, pushed open the window, and a mouthful of yellow sand blew in his face. This also caused him to close the window immediately, put his hand against the sturdy wooden window frame, and coughed in place. At this time, Ge Tongluo, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes, looked at Avis, who was wolf, and couldn't help but smile: "It feels really good to see someone make the same mistake as me." ”
"I mean, the ventilation in this room isn't good, why are you closing the windows?" The young mage said helplessly, "It turns out that you want to yin me!" ”
"I'm not to blame for that. I just dug the hole, and you chose to jump into it. Ge Tongluo stood up. He moved his right hand, and under the healing potions and bandages, his hand was almost restored. Although I don't dare to say that I can attack as fast as before, at least it doesn't affect the activity much. He placed the Hidden Arrow on his right hand, moved his wrist, and continued, "If the scene that attacked you at noon today happens again, I can deal with that guy without your intervention." "After all, his hand was injured before, and he only had one chance to make a shot. Until he's sure if there's only one enemy, he can't just make a mistake and let himself get into a flaw. So Ives can only solve it on his own. Fortunately, Ives did not live up to Ge Tongluo's expectations, and the magic was played quite beautifully.
"Well, when I was remembering magic, those people didn't bother us, did they?"
"Yes, and it's endless. From the nobles with heads and faces, to the leaders of some chambers of commerce, to the ordinary people of that convoy, oh yes, and your red friend, is it Jessica? They all came to you. "They seem to have brought some other news with them...... I don't understand what they're saying, but it seems that at night, this place will be invaded by monsters, and they seem to want you to help protect this place. ”
"How can there be a monster invasion?" Avis said with some astonishment.
"I heard that it's a monster attack that comes once a month. And we just happened to be in time. The wanderer said helplessly.
Avis looked out of the window, and although the opaque glass blocked him, he could still see the darkness outside—the perception of humans and the perception of beasts in the dark were completely different things. Beasts can use guò scent to locate humans, but not the other way around. Without light, these people would not be able to see the horrors hidden in the darkness. They could only raise torches and wait until the beast was very close before attacking. And this often blatantly declares one's location to everyone in this dark world.
"How do they usually get through this?" Avis said curiously, his hand brushing over a book beside him. The material of this book is not the paper he is familiar with, but a rough parchment roll. He looked at the book, and after a long moment, he remembered that it was the book Jessica had given him about the world's writings.
"What else can be done?" The wanderer shook his head and said, "Fill it with human lives." In this day and age, the least valuable thing is probably human life......"
"But they don't have a large population in the first place."
"So they're on the verge of extinction." Ge Tongluo sneered, "When I saw that the leader in command here was a second-level warrior, I really almost laughed out loud. Second-level warriors are nothing in our world, but in this world, they can already be regarded as powerhouses on the famous side. Even you can try to get the title of First Caster. As he spoke, the black-robed wanderer stood up: "There is not even anyone here who is worthy of my shot." ”
"The title of First Caster is definitely not my turn to do it." Avis shook his head, the web was still running, proving that there was still room for magic to grow. Therefore, although he is not far from the title of the first caster, he is still some distance from the title of fourth-level mage. But Ives didn't delve into the topic any further, he just said to Ge Tongluo, "However, since we have met, we should help." With us on the battlefield, there should be fewer deaths here, right? ”
"If they're willing to provide food, grass and water to our big water guzzler, I don't mind helping them." Ge Tongluo said. Ives naturally knew who he was talking about as a 'big water consumer', and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, indeed, the breeding conditions for a pure-blooded plain horse under this illusion were a little too harsh.
Just as Ives and Ge Tongluo were communicating, there was a knock on the door. Ge Tongluo subconsciously touched his left hand to his right waist, where a glittering emerald green dagger was quietly inserted into the dagger. Evis raised his hand to signal that Ge Tongluo should not be so nervous, he walked directly to the side of the door, opened it, and saw Jessica's figure.
The red girl was still as full of energy as ever, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she said something completely incomprehensible. Ives had only read the grammar of the book roughly, and he could only understand a limited number of words. Shaking his head, Avis cast his magic again, 'Speak Language', and then understood what the Red Maiden was saying.
"Lord Avis, the monsters are about to gather, are we going out now?"
Before the young mage could say anything, Ge Tongluo directly picked up the dagger and walked out.
"Hey, do you understand what she's saying?"
"No," Ge Tongluo shook his head, "but you can tell what she wants to say by looking at her expression." ”
"But you haven't listened to me yet."
"Just look at your face and you'll know what your answer is."
Ives finally sighed helplessly - that's why I hate smart people.
……
There are no stars, no moon, only a dark night that is terrifying. You can't even be sure if you're walking on a big 6 or on a filament tied to a bottomless abyss. This kind of fear makes people's chests hurt a little, and it has nothing to do with the body, but is just the most instinctive fear of the soul.
But the people here seem to have adapted to this fear, and they rarely sleep, even if they close their eyes, they just pretend to sleep. He had weapons in his hands, but they were too rudimentary to Avis. Some of the weapons are even rusty - you don't seem to be qualified to expect them to treat weapons well. In the last days, survival, or ruin, no one will have the time to polish and oil their weapons.
Avis gently grasped the scepter under his mage robe, and the magic fluctuations from the ruby above his head made him feel a little happier. Although most magical items become ineffective or less effective due to traveling through the world - such as his cobweb-based ring. But fortunately, his magic missile's staff was not affected by this, and this staff can still explode magic missiles very accurately, which will save his life in the next battle.
Our Mr. Wanderer kept a low profile, and if it weren't for Avis's knowledge of such a person, he would have almost ignored where Ge Tongluo was. He didn't step into the shadows to sneak around, but he had a natural trait that made people ignore him. This trait is also one of the most desired abilities of the Rogue class.
The wind blows in your face and carries fine sand, and that sand will get into your clothes, your neckline, and your shoes, and make you very uncomfortable. Although Avis put on a scarf, he still felt that the wind and sand he was facing were too annoying. But he didn't say much, just followed behind the red girl.
Jessica came to the door of the village. On the walls of the village, which was not very tall, many flags had already been erected by this time. The top of the flag is dyed with an unquenchable flame that illuminates the surrounding scene. Then the glimmer of light sent Avis into the distance—and his brow furrowed. As far as he could see, there were a lot of monsters attacking the city this time.
At least Ives felt that they alone would not be enough to deal with these monsters. Moreover, as a dragon vein mage, Ives also felt a breath in front of him, although it was very weak, but it was really resonating with the blood in his body.
Dragon!
Ives almost wanted to spit out the word, but he quickly denied himself again. First of all, there is no such weak dragon. The weakest young dragon should also have a level of ten, and that creature is no more than level three. And...... Ives felt that the existence was not so much a dragon as a creature that had borrowed the blood of a dragon. It's like him.
Feeling the smell of slaughter in the wind, Jessica walked up to the city gate and stood beside Avis, frowning at the scene in front of her, without saying a word for a long time.
……
It's so cool to write...... No blue screen is different.
