Chapter 57: The Wasteland VIII.
Until the next morning, when the team began to set off, Althea's face still looked distracted, and the whole person looked a little dazed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This was something that Darius had not expected.
Darius was worried that something was wrong with her appearance, so he asked Hermes to stay in the middle of the army, guard the female mage, and not go to work with the scouts.
Hermez didn't think about it for long before agreeing to his request, after all, he was now one of the top leaders of the organization, and although Hermez was the person in charge, he didn't arbitrarily direct his authority. As for Valek, then he did not have the power to force him to go out to investigate, he just asked, and then he didn't say anything more.
The wagon pulled by the split-hoofed ox is four-wheeled, this four-wheeled ox cart is very stable, and when it moves at a constant speed, it is almost impossible to feel the bumps, Darius is sitting on the high cargo box, the situation of the whole team and the surrounding scenery can be seen clearly, and beside him, there is a numb female mage.
The two of them sat together in silence for almost a morning, Darius didn't know what to say, and Althea was completely immersed in her emotions, not reacting to anything from the outside world.
It was a real headache, and when the caravan set out to see her, Darius knew that the road would not be unstable, but he did not expect such a situation at all. He even had some malicious guesses about whether the ranger named Lily was her good friend or not, otherwise how could there be such a big reaction.
Anyway, the black roses are full of women, and many of them are strong women, so it's not impossible to guess like this.
Sometimes the relationship between the same sex is stronger than that between the opposite sex, and the legion sergeants of ancient Rome encouraged their soldiers to build a foundation, because these ancient Roman warriors who loved each other could exert extraordinary combat effectiveness on the battlefield, and they would never back down when fighting side by side with their lovers.
It's nothing for Darius to be silent like this, I'm afraid that this woman will trap herself, because Darius is in a sense going to Brent's legion to play Infernal Affairs, and Black Rose is very important to his support, which directly determines whether he can play Infernal Affairs in the legion.
But at the beginning, in order to keep it secret, Black Rose didn't know too many people about his existence, and the way to organize the communication between the upper echelons was not in the hands of Darius, and his contact with Black Rose completely depended on Althea, so he must not let Althea go on like this.
Then Darius hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How long are you going to be depressed?" Again, how do you ask me to explain it to Hermes? ”
…………
"Damn, you're giving me a reaction, don't forget what we're doing now."
…………
"You really can't do it, so quickly contact the upper echelons of the organization to replace you, I really don't know how they decided to let you into this caravan in the first place. Get me someone reliable. When the time comes, you will do whatever you want, and no one will stop you. ”
…………
Althea seemed to be completely detached from this world, obsessed with unknown places. No matter what Darius said, she looked unmoved.
Darius was ruthless and said viciously: "Why, is this Lily your lover?" If it weren't for the death of the concubine, how could he be so dead? ”
"Oh, angry? It can't be that I was annoyed and angry by what I said. ”
The female mage, who had been silent, finally reacted, and Darius, who was sitting closely, could even see the raging anger burning like a flame in her clear eyes.
"You, find, die."
Enraged, Althea slapped her, completely forgetting that she was a spellcaster, so naturally, her hand was easily caught by Darius.
Although Althea's reaction was a bit big, Darius was still happy in his heart, as long as he was willing to communicate, then everything was easy to say, even if the way of communication was uncomfortable.
"It doesn't seem like you didn't understand what I was saying, I thought you were deaf."
Darius slammed her hand behind her back, then pressed her body up to avoid being seen by those around her.
"Now, you think about my proposal, if you really can't rest assured, quickly change me to someone who can work with peace of mind, and then whoever you like to find has nothing to do with me. I believe that Black Rose, it is not too difficult to change people in the team without realizing it. ”
Of course, Althea didn't feel good when her hand was cut behind her back, so there was a clear smell of gunpowder in her words, "Let go of me, you bastard, put away this ridiculous thought in your head, and change it?" Now where do we go for a task performer? Do you think we're playing house? The Enchantress didn't have a plan to be violated. ”
"You remember that we were on a mission with the Enchantress!"
Darius kept his volume to a minimum, but the rage was all vented. "Since you know, don't give Lao Tzu a stupid expression, do you think that if you are concerned, we don't? Don't feel like the rest of the world owes you anything, because the world doesn't revolve around you. ”
Darius was angry and really calmed her, Althea couldn't speak for a long time, and after a while, she replied with some difficulty: "Yes, the world doesn't revolve around me, I admit, I'm not right like this, but what can I do?" ”
"Lily is not my lover, but she is much more important than any so-called lover, if it weren't for her, I would have died a long time ago, I can't even remember how many times, four times, or five times she saved me?"
She smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "But when I realized that she was in danger, and maybe something happened to her, I couldn't do anything, I was such a failure." ”
This woman actually began to deny herself, Darius was a little helpless, sure enough, everyone has a dead end, once the people and things that are cherished have a change, no matter how powerful people are, they will be out of order.
"You've known me since I was a soldier in the Second Garrison."
The mage didn't know why Darius suddenly mentioned this, but she mumbled in reply.
"Your comrades are dead, not so much by the lizardmen, but by the crazy plans of the generals, and that West, my favorite subordinate, who ended his life by my own hands, you should have heard of these things."
"I survived, but I don't even know who to seek revenge on - the lizardman and the general are dead. But should I be so depressed? No, my men sacrificed themselves to give me hope for life, and I can't live up to what they did. I have to live up to my ideals and pursuits, and that's the way to be most worthy of them. ”
Darius stared into the female mage's eyes, hoping she understood what she meant.
The anger in Althea's eyes was gone, but there was a sense of indifference, and she tilted her head to the side, "Your way of comforting people is really bad enough. ”
"But even if you're right, it's a long way off, but at the moment, the mission of the Enchantress is the most important."

I recently changed jobs, and the update was interrupted for two days, so I'm really embarrassed.
