Chapter 1227: Wake Up
In Hollier City, Tarya, who was lying on the table, suddenly opened her eyes.
She has been working all night on theoretical papers recently, and last night she finally finished revising the first draft, but because she was too tired for several days, she fell asleep on the table in the early hours of the morning after writing the last stroke.
But the wake up at this time was not because she had slept enough, but because she suddenly had a strange premonition - she looked around with some confusion and muttered in a low voice: "What does this mean..."
As if afraid that she would forget, Tarya casually picked up the pen on the table, quickly drew a few strokes on the blank manuscript paper next to her, and then stared at it for a few seconds: she didn't know what she had drawn, but she felt that it seemed to be the image of the thing in her dream.
But it was just an inconsequential dream, and Tarya turned her gaze back to realize that her neck and back were sore after a night of sleeping on her stomach.
Standing up and rubbing for a long time, she thought about going to wash, but there were already footsteps outside the door. Taria tilted her head with a toothbrush and raised her eyebrows, "Sylvia, what's the matter?"
Sylvia was dressed in a robe that would never change, but her eyes were a little worried. Because she had just been notified by Mage Edith that there was an "anomaly" in Taria - usually this meant an intensification of the "demonic attack".
Under the layers of protection and various measures, Tariya has been extremely stable for a while now, and when she suddenly appears in a situation, it often means that the demonic forces will take further action.
Sylvia really didn't want the "war" to intensify, and she was worried that Taria would have a serious reaction, but when she saw the other party holding a toothbrush, she was stunned: "You... How are you doing?"
"Okay, it's just that I stayed up too long last night, sleeping on the table, and now my neck hurts a lot. β
Tarya rinsed her mouth, tied her hair back and walked out of the bathroom: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"There was a warning from the magic tower just now, and it seems to be related to demon fluctuations, so I came over to ask if you have any reaction - but it looks like you... Normal?"
Sylvia was also a little confused, it stands to reason that Edith wouldn't lie to her, but Tariya's appearance was indeed not much different from before.
"Fluctuations? was detected by the circle? I didn't notice it, but..."
Taria was stunned as she spoke, she remembered the reason why she had just woken up, and said without reservation: "I did wake up suddenly just now, and it feels very strange - I can't remember the contents of the dream, but I vaguely remember that it seems that a guy I know is coming to me, but I don't like that guy very much..."
Her descriptions were vague, but Sylvia didn't dare to take them lightly, and nervously asked, "What guy? Your friend before coming to Hollier?"
Taria froze, then said, "I really don't remember any other friends besides Nephie, even if it's not right with Master Ethanβah, by the way, I just thought the dream was strange, so I drew a picture." β
Sylvia hurriedly took a few steps forward, looked at the contents of the painting, and hesitated, "This is... Trees?"
"I don't know why I saw this thing, it's red, it looks weird, it's disgusting. β
"What does this have to do with that friend of yours?"
"I don't know, I was thinking about that guy coming to me, but I saw this, and I can't remember any other details. β
Taria had already washed her face, and seeing that Sylvia had a serious face, she gradually realized that something was wrong: "This... Isn't it a bit of a problem?"
"I don't know if it's counted, but it's definitely going to be reported... Wait a change of clothes and I'll take you to the top. β
"Okay, I'll clean it up now. β
Taria has such a self-consciousness, after all, she has been receiving the "treatment" of the magic tower for several months, and she has lived comfortably here, and her spell level and mental power have greatly improved - she attributes the credit to the tolerance and support here, so she supports the decisions of the top level from the heart.
Sylvia walked outside the door and waited for her, not forgetting to say, "By the way, how is your paper?"
"The draft was just finished, and I wondered if I would..."
"This is an opportunity for them to take a look first--with the Dragon Lord's advice, it's better than fooling around, right?"
"Ahh You're right, I'll take the paper together!"
Taria put on her robe, re-combed her loose hair, picked up a stack of manuscript paper titled "On the Feasibility of Controlling Mental Fluctuations to Lower Demons", and followed Sylvia's footsteps, quickly heading towards the top of the magic tower.
Roddy, who was sitting in the conference room, was reading the battle report that had just arrived from outside the city of Flens. When he saw the familiar word "Zoro", he was in a trance for a moment...
Once upon a time, the orc's "King of Ten Thousand Axes" Great Chief Zoro was a powerful existence like the god of war in the player's mind, and in several battles, he used his godlike tactics and bravery to make the defensive front of the Karen Kingdom useless - but now, the other party was not only driven to the other side of the deep mountains and old forests, but even when the demon attacked today, he was directly captured by a team of three hundred people.
It's definitely not that the other side is too weak, but because... Times have changed.
In the past, the scene of face-to-face battles with Zoro is vivid, but now there is a difference between the two sides in terms of level and resources under their control, and the fate of Roddy has to sigh at the changes he has brought to "history".
But he didn't dare to underestimate Zoro's ability in the slightest, and looking at the brief battle report, Roddy frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on in Florence City? I haven't seen the analysis reported by Davidian... How could Sauron, as the Great Chief, suddenly leave with his team? Fifteen hundred to sixteen hundred people in the encounter?
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister... The information within Florence was provided by the 'Intelligence Bureau', but there has been no update until now..."
Roddy's eyebrows raised: "If there is a problem, just say it." β
"The staff had just been speculating whether something had happened in the city of Florence that caused the orcs to evacuate in a hurry - but it is difficult to confirm at this time due to the lack of further information. β
"Keep checking and tell Sodlore that I don't need to change my plans for Les Fortress, I don't want to leave an orc lair there to continue to grow. β
"Yes, Prime Minister. β
Roddy exhaled, and was thinking about whether to go to the research department next, when he suddenly realized that the "taskbar" was flashing.
For a while, the prompts of his "task bar" have actually never stopped, because of the huge territory he now controls, the tasks in the task bar are often piled up to one or two hundred, and Roddy often has no time to take a closer look, basically just glance at it, confirm that it is a word like "destroy demons" and then close it.
