409. Chapter 409 Responsibility
Joy, sadness, helplessness and despair, when these emotions finally found an outlet, Sally really didn't know how to say it, and could only express everything with her actions.
No matter what Roddy said or decided, Sally just wanted to hold him tightly and never let go.
And when the two-hour search for a needle in a haystack yielded results, Roddy's heart that had been hanging was finally let go at this time.
Sally in her arms sobbed, at first squeezing hard, but then began to hammer his back with her fists-
"You bastard!"
“... Why are you doing this?"
"Why!?"
She never thought she would throw herself into Roddy's arms again... Smelling the smell of him, Sally's heart was at first happy after being rescued, but then an unspeakable resentment inexplicably emerged-
Why is fate so tricky?
You're all right with that woman, why are you trying so hard to save me?
Luo Di could feel that she was really beating hard, and he understood why she was like this, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say a little clumsily: "I'm sorry..."
"What's the use of talking now!"
Sally buried her head in his chest, "You're angry, I'll apologize, but why do you use this method against me... What are you going to do with me?
Roddy is also a little confused - what should she do? Sally was saved, but how should I treat her in the future?
Is it impossible to draw a line and continue to treat it coldly as before?
But...
An idea popped into his head that he had never thought before, but Roddy immediately felt that it was simply unrealistic. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the jumbled thoughts in his head, and said loudly, "We... Hollier needs to be returned as soon as possible, and the city is under threat from a plague of the undead. ”
Sally is not a messy girl, she wiped her tears vigorously when she heard Roddy's words, and then found that she was still in a state of "disguise" - she reached out to wipe the plastic off, and as soon as she reached out, she found that Roddy had picked up a water bag from the side, unscrewed the stopper and poured water into her palm.
Sally pursed her lips slightly, the tacit understanding between the two of them not to speak made her heart a little sweet, but then there was still a touch of bitterness after all... After yourself... Maybe there's no way to dominate him like this anymore.
Leaving Roddy?
Sally had completely rejected this idea in her mind.
"That guy touched me with a lot of mud, I must be ugly," she lowered her eyes, not wanting Roddy to know her thoughts, and tried to say what happened along the way in the relaxed tone of the time she had traveled together: "That Carl is a spiritual shadow priest, he wanted to control me, and he gave me a bottle of potion, but it didn't seem to have much effect, so he never had full control over my body." ”
She washed her cheeks, threw away her chestnut wig, reached out to pin the ends of her short hair behind her ears, looked into the distance, and asked as if inadvertently, "When I was in town, I never dared to call you when I saw you walking in front of me..."
"I actually saw... I saw it from afar. ”
Roddy could understand Sally's complicated feelings at that moment, and her choice to give up calling for help made Roddy feel indebted in his heart - how many people would give up such an opportunity?
The two of them looked away as they spoke, and the brief intimate contact just now didn't seem to completely resolve the awkwardness in the relationship, but Roddy didn't have time to talk nonsense now, he quickly retrieved the corpses left on the battlefield, and after making sure that the enemy was not alive, he dragged the heretics from both sides of the road into the dense forest.
The hatred between "Viper Cross" and Roddy is needless to say, but there are too many things to be busy with now, and it is also a necessary means to delay the other party's time to learn of the "failed operation".
Pulling Sally to jump on the duck, Roddy had to reach out and hold her waist as the stupid bird swayed and took off - this action made Sally's back close to Roddy's chest, causing the two of them to beat slightly faster for a while...
The pintail snipe flew low, and the cold wind blowing in her face made Sally simply close her eyes, and this made her feel the heat from the palm of Roddy's palm in her abdomen, her breathing was slightly rapid, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally bit her lower lip and held his palm.
"Whatever you choose, I won't let go anymore. ”
She leaned back slightly and said to Roddy on the side of her face.
Roddy, on the other hand, squinted at the rapidly passing ground in front of him, silent and did not know how to answer.
The battle that took place in the city of Houllier was finally settled with the explosion of the "Mutant Crystal Shard".
Wembsk disappeared into the flames, and the ghouls who followed him were killed - the soldiers were equally badly damaged, but with the help of the two Grand Knights and Akasha, the soldiers finally took control of the scene and pushed the line back into the square.
With such a result, the death of the enemy chief is one thing, and more importantly... The Duke of Angmar disappeared into the flames along with the enemy.
As the lord of the city, Angmar did not stand behind the shield, but relied on his old and frail body to die with his enemies - and when the soldiers understood what the duke had done, their fighting power exploded almost instantly.
"For Evta!"
The shield-wielding infantry no longer maintained a nearly collapsed formation, and one by one they drew their swords and roared into the enemy line as if they were mad...
The golden light continued to wave, and Akasha forcibly poured the second bottle of potion she carried with her, picked up a short sword and slashed the seriously injured and crawling ghoul beside her, and then recited a prayer to treat the wounded soldier who fell to the ground. When she turned to look into the distance, she saw that the ghost knight with the "Holy Shield" was carrying five translucent phantoms, scythe-like and quickly harvesting the undead in front of her.
With the victory decided, Akasha breathed a sigh of relief, then gasped and leaned against the wall.
The last of the resurrected ghouls were forced into the center of the square, and the horn of an all-out counterattack sounded, and Akasha raised her hand to continue to release the "Purification Ring", but after taking a few steps, she stumbled due to mana overdraft, and almost sat on the ground.
She wiped a handful of sweat oozing from her forehead, reached out to touch the potion bottle, and found that the "Intermediate Mana Elixir" had been completely drunk...
The lack of mana gave Akasha an unspeakable sense of crisis, but at this moment, the shadows on the ground of the square rekindled her hope - when she looked up, she unsurprisingly saw the pintail snipe that was circling and landing, and soon, the duck with its wings spread landed in a clearing dozens of meters away.
Akasha walked forward happily, but a smile just appeared on her face... Her form suddenly froze in place.
When Roddy jumped down the pintail snipe, Sally behind him never let go of his palm.
Looking at this scene not far away, Akasha pursed her lips, took a few consecutive breaths, turned around in silence, and retreated into the shadows of the building in some distraction.
Roddy, unaware of the grim scene in the square, joins the battle with his bow raised, and joins the army in sweeping away the remaining enemies with Sally - and when it's finally over, the system finally sounds a sound that the mission is complete.
Roddy glanced around, then ran towards Akasha in the corner. He looked at the pale little priest, and after confirming that she was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Mana overdraft needs a good rest, I'll go and have someone help you back, try not to move first." ”
"Hmm. ”
Akasha looked at him seriously, blinked, and then raised her hand - Roddy saw this and hurriedly pulled her to stand up, and was about to say something else, but heard Akasha ask softly, "Can you... Hold me?"
Roddy was surprised by this request, thinking that she was a little scared because of the battle, so she gently hugged Akasha in her arms: "It's okay now... You did a good job, the plague did not spread, and the city and even the entire territory were saved. ”
However, Akasha did not respond, she just raised her gaze and met Sally's gaze not far away for a few seconds.
Both women's expressions were a little exciting, only Roddy didn't know about it.
Even though she had made a decision in her heart, seeing Akasha and Roddy tired of being together, Sally's heart was still very sour. She pursed her lips and looked away, and after casting two consecutive "Purification Rings", she looked at Titus who was walking and asked, "Knight Titus, where is my father?"
The soldiers around him who were clearing the battlefield slowed down, and Titus stopped - his gaze hesitated for a moment, then slowly removed his helmet and knelt down on one knee.
"This is..."
Sally's pupils suddenly locked, her breathing became rapid, and she whispered, "Impossible... It shouldn't be like this..."
She looked around blankly, and when she spoke again, she was already crying: "Father is in the mansion, right? I'll go back... He's waiting for me to go back..."
Sally turned to leave, but Titus raised his arm slightly and slowly raised the duke's sword in front of Sally.
"Your Excellency, the Duke... Fought to the last moment. ”
The sword broke in the explosion, and only half of it was left, and the hilt of the sword melted and deformed due to the heat, and Sally looked at the sword that had always been placed in her father's bedroom, and tears blurred her vision in an instant.
Even though she had already prepared for the same kind in her heart, when faced with the cruel truth, Sally still couldn't accept it.
Tears were falling to the ground, and Sally wanted to cry out loud, and her body trembled slightly from trying to hold back the great grief. However, when she reached out to grasp the hilt of the broken sword, she took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed these emotions in her heart.
Even though the hilt of the sword melted, the inscription "Rusiflon" on it remained unchanged, and as the last member of the family, Sally knew that she had not only received a weapon, but also a weapon that had fallen on her shoulder... Liability.
