Act XXVIII: Mahogany (III)
Act XXVIII Mahogany (III)
"That's all you want to say?" Avis turned his head in surprise to look at the handsome bard. But Tiga didn't understand what Ives wanted to say for a while: "Huh...... Is there anything else I can say? ”
"Don't you want to help that little girl?" Avis frowned and said seriously, "Her home has been breached by monsters!" ”
"Does this have anything to do with me?" Tiga said inexplicably, and when he saw that Ives seemed to be about to burst into anger and began to clench his fists, Diga smiled bitterly and shook his hand: "Just kidding, well, if we're going to be on the road, we'd better get out now." Redwood Town is now surrounded by monsters, and it could be breached at any time. ”
Ives looked at Tiga a little strangely, according to the setting in the game, he should be in the neutral camp of order, but now he looks like he is evil...... Ives could naturally see that Tiga wasn't joking just now.
A neutral person would never say such a thing, unless there is another reason...... Is it because you don't want us to be late, or something else? Avis's brow furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking. At this time, Ge Tongluo had already put away his tent, he glanced at the little girl who was squatting in the corner, seemed to be sobbing, turned his head and said to Tiga, "There is still time, let's talk about the specific situation in Redwood Town." With that, Ge Tongluo also began to help Esinger dismantle her tent.
"Ahem...... It was probably this afternoon when some monster coming down from the mountains broke down the watchtower left by the roadside in Redwoodtown. The watchtower only had time to ignite wolf smoke before it was destroyed by these terrible beasts. No one knows who survived there. But now it seems. There shouldn't have been a single person in that place who survived. ”
Tiga said. Packing the tent made of canvas, "And as the night was approaching, when we started roasting the rabbits, Redwood Town encountered the first wave of enemies attacking. Some of the warriors did fight on the front line, but the outlying residential areas without walls were lost. This little girl is one of those who fled from the outskirts of the residential area. It seems that her parents escaped with her, but unfortunately they both died at the hands of our abominable ogre. ”
"In this way, her father is a warrior." Ge Tongluo nodded. Able to protect two people from escaping in the hands of ogres. This is indeed a powerful warrior, and it can even be compared to some level 5 fighters with Fan specialties. And just when Ge Tongluo's words fell, the little girl suddenly raised her head and said stubbornly: "It's my mother." ”
"Huh?"
"It was my mom who kept me and dad here." The girl said, her voice low again, "She's a powerful ranger, but...... Woo. ”
Ge Tongluo was silent for a while before he spoke: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ......."
"It's fine."
Then there was no more sound, and several people continued to clean up the scene. Soon. The tents were all put away. Avis looked at his remaining spell slots and sighed, "It's a pity that I used the fireball technique." If you want to use such a big killer weapon next, can you only use scrolls? ”
Ge Tongluo glanced at Avis, "I hope your magic doesn't put it on your own people." ”
"Do I look at someone like that?" Ives replied with some annoyance.
Traveling in the dark is not something to be savored for.
Although you have to admit it, looking at the starlight overhead, listening to the minstrel playing in the slightly swaying carriage, and blowing the cool evening breeze is indeed quite poetic. But the smell of fishy smell in the air from time to time, as well as the corpses that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, all severely spoil this beautiful scenery.
Avis's brows furrowed slightly, he looked down at the corpse on the side of the road, and said with some sighs: "If possible, I really don't want to see these things." Indeed, for an ordinary person living in the new century, death is a term that is too far away from him. And Ge Tongluo, who was playing with the dagger, laughed lightly: "Why, seeing so many corpses of the same kind, are you a little uncomfortable?" ”
"Indeed."
Then there was silence in the carriage again. And after a while, the girl said, "I...... My mother stayed in the village to cover my escape. You say, ......" Ives wanted to say something to comfort the little girl, but Ge Tongluo said heartlessly: "I admit that if your mother is strong enough, there is still hope for survival." But don't be too attached to it, sometimes, the reality can be more cruel than you think. ”
The little girl bowed her head and said no more. Avis was silent, he knew that the little girl's mother was not dead yet, but in fact, she was not far from death. Of all the people present, perhaps no one knew better than him about the fact that it was born in a village not so far away.
It's actually some distance from Redwood Town, and Ives estimates it will be a few hours drive away. In other words, by the time they got there, the monsters might have been wreaking havoc in the village. As if thinking of this question, Ge Tongluo looked at the girl: "How did you escape?" ”
"My father grabbed a carriage and ran with me out of the burning village. But halfway through, we were overtaken by a pack of ogres and gnolls. My father stayed behind to deal with the gnolls, so I had to jump out of the car and keep running...... But he was still caught up by the ogre. As she spoke, a tear appeared in the corner of the girl's eye, "In the last moment, I saw with my own eyes that ogre ...... my father"
Is that how the blood came from? Avis seemed to understand something.
The girl was so frightened that after a while in the car, she fell into a deep sleep. Avis sat in the car, unaware of what he was thinking, as if recalling a piece of information about the village. This information is a game guide for him, and he hasn't played that game for a long time, so his memory is still a little unclear.
And Ge Tongluo, who was beside Avis, began to prepare a qiē tool in his hand. He placed his dagger in an easy-to-pull position, then some potions and ammunition, and finally he plunged a glittering golden arrow into his waist pocket.
Avis recognized the arrow as a sacred crossbow bolt that had been blessed by the priest, and it was still very useful against evil enemies at a critical moment. Especially when the opponent is an undead creature, it's almost a dozen and a dozen. Of course, there were no undead creatures in the village that Avis remembered, so Ge Tongluo's preparation might be superfluous......
I don't know how much time has passed, but Avis closes his eyes slightly and begins to close his eyes to make sure that his spirit is at its highest. The teammates beside Avis didn't say much, they were all silent, letting the wagon shake silence the world.
Soon, as the carriage turned a corner, Ives saw the village set on fire in the distance. It was a human bazaar on a hill, but by this time, the fierce flames had completely ignited the place, but the distance had turned the blazing waves into small dots...... At this time, Tiga, who was driving the carriage, suddenly turned his head and looked at the burning village in the dark night, and the thick black smoke, and then said: "Be careful, we will encounter the enemy at any time." ”
Ge Tongluo stood up directly, he flexibly climbed on top of the truck, and squatted down. His eyes scanned back and forth between the night, and after a long silence, he spoke, "To the east, there are some gnolls hiding their tracks, pay attention." ”
"Really?" Tiga turned her head and looked behind her into the dimly lit jungle. His brow furrowed slightly, and then he saw some black figures running fast. These are prime-age gnolls, their skin is black, they hold sharp scythes in their hands, and they will not be slowed down even when they run in such a complex environment.
"Will you solve it or will I come?" Diga said casually. Ge Tongluo was silent for a moment: "You want to use magic? ”
"I'm not sure my arrows are so accurate in such a dark place."
"Then I'll do it." Ge Tongluo raised the crossbow in his hand. It's a rather small crossbow that can even be described as 'pocket-sized'. But when Ge Tongluo repeatedly pulled out the crossbow arrow three times to charge it, even Di Jia praised: "Although it is not magic equipment, your props are really good." ”
"It's not much cheaper than a magic item." Ge Tongluo raised the crossbow arrow in his hand as he spoke, and after aiming, he suddenly pulled the trigger. A short arrow slammed into a gnolloin's head.
The gnoll warrior fell directly to the ground, rolled a few times, and finally screamed a few times in place, and was trampled on the back by the gnoll warrior behind him. The gnoll let out a scream, and finally took his last breath.
"Pretty accurate." Diga praised, "I can't imagine that people who use swords can use crossbows so well. ”
"With a sword?"
"Ah, it's wrong, it's a dagger." As he spoke, Diga smiled and winked at Ge Tongluo. Ge Tongluo, on the other hand, lowered his head and continued to charge the crossbow, ignoring Diga's wink. This also makes Tiga seem a little boring. To be continued......
