Act 51: The King of the Underworld (Part 2, Asking for Support)
There was the sound of dripping water in the darkness.
Brando's eyelids twitched, and he finally woke up from the darkness where he couldn't reach his fingers, and he felt the silence around him, as if he had returned to what he had been before the heavens and the earth first opened.
After groaning, his consciousness gradually became clearer, and he subconsciously opened his attribute panel to take a look, and when the faint green light screen appeared out of thin air in the darkness, Brando finally felt a little more at ease.
The state showed that he had no fractures, no internal injuries, not even too many wounds, only some abrasions and shocks.
Only then did he realize that he was worried too much, and the strength of his body after entering the gold realm was really not covered. However, it was still pitch black all around, and there was no light, and no matter how high the perception was, it was impossible to see under complete darkness. However, he tried to take out the fluorescent gems, but immediately found that a large amount of heavy earth and stones were pressing on his body, so that he could not move, and Brando remembered the scene when he was hit head-on by these collapsed earth and stones, which was the main reason why he was unconscious. But he couldn't help but feel lucky, if it were an ordinary person, it would be estimated that he would have escaped by luck at the beginning, "but at this moment, he can't escape the fate of suffocation."
But then again, if he was just an ordinary person, he would probably have died in Buchi a long time ago.
Taking a breath, Brando stretched his arms outward, and the power of more than a hundred energy levels immediately caused the earth and stone to shake and tumble down. Then he tried again, and with a burst of power, he finally broke the earth and stone that was pressing on him.
As soon as he broke free from the restraints, Brando immediately patted the sand off his body and stood up, but he subconsciously wiped his forehead and "felt a cold patch on his hands." After a moment's pause, he immediately took out the fluorescent gem, and in the pale light he saw that his hands were covered in blood.
"Damn."
Brando cursed secretly, and then looked around at the situation outside, which made him relieved. gas, after the collapse of the mine road, the passage was not completely blocked, at least it left him a way out.
The passage was on the other side of the tunnel, and the torches on the rock wall had long been extinguished, and the black hole didn't know where it led. At this moment, the surrounding environment has already changed greatly, and even Brando can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.
He was about to lift the gem and shine it that way, when he suddenly heard a groan from behind him.
Brando was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what happened before the earthquake.
When I turned around, I saw the girl from the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group lying quietly among the rubble on the other side. Akane's eyes were tightly closed, her pointed face was as pale as paper in the pale light, and her eyelashes fluttered slightly, but she rarely reflected a quiet and soft beauty. But the young man did not have the heart to pay attention to this beauty now, "but noticed the blood of Bobo dripping from the forehead of the other." This is a bit abnormal, the physical strength of the divine envoy is far beyond that of humans, and it stands to reason that Akane should not suffer this kind of skin trauma.
He suddenly thought of a bad guess, so he slowly walked over and squatted down beside the other party, and stretched out his hand to touch the girl's forehead.
Boiling hot.
Brando's heart skipped a beat, and he let go of his palm, and sure enough, he saw a faint black pattern lurking under the girl's pale forehead under the halo of light, "growing along her cheeks."
This shows that Akane's ontological will is fighting against the blood of the gods, "Every time she falls into a coma, it is a severe test for her.
Brando thought for a moment and took out a water bag and poured some water on the palm of his hand, then took out the crystal that had been infused with the blood of the gods and put it on the other party's forehead: "Akane? ”
"Wake up!"
Brando shouted twice, and to his relief, the girl's eyelids finally moved in the light and then opened. The pupils in her eyes seemed to be at first shrouded in a terrible black and red color, but after a while, they regained their eyes.
Turned into a pair of amber burning with exuberant flames.
The blazing flame seems to be the force of life" symbolizes a tenacious will.
"Akane?"
Akane was in a trance at first, and then she reacted, she looked at Brando with a confused look in her eyes, and asked a little weakly, "Tuan ............ Long ......, ...... Eco? ”
"It's me." Brando put away the crystal and replied.
The red-haired girl hesitated for a moment, "Lord Lord? Then she closed her eyes quietly, vaguely remembering a nightmare she had before.
In her dreams, she dreamed that she was buried under a blood-red tree, which had rooted her body, and the red roots were wrapped around her to draw blood, but she could not move.
This was not the first time she had such a dream, but this time it was especially clear that she was faintly uneasy in her heart, and subconsciously thought that this nightmare might be related to the blood of the gods in her body.
"Yes, how? No problem? Brando asked with some concern as he saw Akane close her eyes.
As soon as the red-haired girl moved, she immediately snorted in pain. She felt that she must have had a wound in her leg, and when she looked down, she saw a long wound there. Blood soaked out of the robes and stained red. She felt a slight tightening in her heart, and reasoned that although the rocks were sharp, "they were not enough to hurt someone with their strength", not to mention that she was in fact a god who made her body even more resilient, resistant, and restorative than Brando.
This is not normal.
The vague uneasiness in Akane's heart became more and more intense, and she subconsciously tried to sit up, but the sharp pain immediately came out of her, hissed, and lay back on her head with a soft grunt. The girl lay on the ground panting heavily, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, but at this moment she didn't seem to feel any pain at all, but her heart was full of another thought: what about her own strength?
She clearly remembered that because she had become an oracle, "she has the power of gold, didn't the lord say the same?"
But Akane just felt that she didn't have any strength, a feeling she hadn't experienced for many years: "Weak, like an ordinary person with no power."
The strength disappeared, and the girl lay on the ground, "Double Day out of focus", and suddenly felt a little panicked and at a loss.
When Makaro disbanded the Gray Wolf Mercenary Regiment, she had such a moment that she could rely on and rely on in the past, and all sustenance and goals seemed to have lost their meaning all at once, "as if she was choked by the throat by a great despair."
It was Brando's inability to breathe that brought her out of this desperate situation, and the young lord gathered most of the former members of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Regiment to give her a reason to continue to persevere.
The girl finally came out of this shadow, "adapted to the new life, and I can even say that I like this kind of day a little!" At least in the past, the only people who were the best in the eyes of the Captain were Eco and Juta, and she was just an inconsequential member.
But here, "whether or not it was because of the golden power she had obtained from the blood of the gods, at least she could feel that Brando was valued."
His own existence is not insignificant, and he is also one of the most important combat forces in the group of lords.
What's more, you can continue to fight side by side with the original part of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group.
It's all satisfying, even if it may be very short-lived.
She had expected that one day she would become a divine envoy and lose the qiē she had now. But she didn't expect that Mistress Martha seemed to be deliberately trying to play a joke on her, "When she just integrated into this environment, she found that her power was completely gone.
She was no different from an ordinary person now, and even weaker.
However, Akane knows that a nobleman does not need a retainer without the slightest ability, although Antitina is just an ordinary person, "but the girl thinks that she is not as smart and erudite as the other party."
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder a little.
"What's wrong?" , Brando saw that Akane was pale and didn't say a word, and couldn't help but ask again.
"Your lord......," Akane whispered, "I, I have no strength......"
Brando was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was normal for him to lose too much blood and lose his strength, but he was still a little strange, and it stands to reason that with the strength of the divine envoy's body, he should not be injured so badly.
But what's even stranger is Akane's weird line~ The girl was lying on the ground, pale and weak, and said to him: Lord Lord, I have no strength.
What does this mean, is it for him to help her?
If it was little Luo Cian's appearance, Brando could understand it, but he had the impression that Akane was an emotionally introverted girl, not to mention withdrawn, she almost had a straight face all day long like Flo.
Things are abnormal, they must be demons.
Brando first carefully observed whether Akane had become a divine envoy, and then pretended to sneak attack him like this, but he knew some of the obvious signs of the divine envoy very well, and the other party didn't look like he had been controlled by the blood of the gods.
So he showed a puzzled look: "En......"
But Akane's heart was like a mess, "she didn't notice Brando's doubts at all, her mind was full of Macaro's resolute and ruthless appearance that day, which she regarded as her father and teacher, and she couldn't help but endure this hesitation and repeated: "My lord, I don't have the original strength anymore, I'm afraid I can't keep up with you............"
Brando was stunned again, wondering which one was this? However, he suddenly understood, and asked tentatively, "Have you lost your golden power......
Akane's face turned pale and she nodded slowly.
"I see......" Brando nodded.
This time it was Akane's turn to be stunned.
The girl imagined Brando's reaction more than once, for fear of repeating the scene of that day. But she didn't expect Brando to react like this, and she looked like she suddenly realized!
"It's not ......" and then Brando shook his head, he knew that what happened to Akane now was not a good sign, it meant that the conflict of the Divine Blood had intensified and that she would become a true oracle when she regained her strength again.
It doesn't take too long, more than a few days, as little as a few hours, and then the girl's strength will go to the next level, but it no longer belongs to her.
But of course, he couldn't say it directly, but comforted: "It's okay, can't you stand up......"
Akane was completely stunned and nodded inexplicably.
Brando held out his hand to her, "I'll help you." Brando's voice was not high when he said this, and even out of a kind of sympathy for the poor girl, it was a few words, but Akane felt as if it had penetrated a line of defense and struck her heart.
She felt her tears welling up.
