The crisis is over
Seeing that they could no longer do anything about the out-of-control 'Camilla', they had already resorted to their own tricks to deal with the impending crisis, Pavadi gripped the hilt of his sword with his backhand and plunged his sword into the ground, a visible barrier in front of them.
It was clear that a barrier was not enough to fully resist the power of the 'rampage' reactor, and Father Ann chanted a very ancient incantation, and snow-white symbols flew out of his fingertips and circled the perimeter of the barrier.
Because of these two strong protective measures, Yu Siqi could clearly feel that the temperature around him was gradually decreasing. However, this does not mean that they are completely out of danger, and Camila, who is in the hottest of the world, does not seem to see any way for their situation to improve.
Black Mist stretched out his fangs at the orb that had been reddened throughout, and the orb, which had almost stopped rotating, was stimulated again, and a new round of energy eruption began.
"I knew it would be a bad idea to bring her along," Tag said through gritted teeth, his expression distorted a little by the unforgettable hatred.
"Can't agree more." The eye of the storm moved back and forth over the symbols on the periphery of the barrier and asked, "Father, where did you learn this hand?" ”
"I want to ask him too," asked Pavadi, curiously as he watched a snow-white symbol crack and shatter into powder in the air, "You know, since I first met him, I could feel an inexplicable familiarity in him." Although the form is different, the overall effect is very similar to the private 'technique' unique to those royal family members. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm certainly not what you call a 'royal'. As you can see, I'm just a very ordinary priest. Fr. Ann said blandly: "These are all 'humble tricks' that I learned by chance from the Lord, and they really can't be put on the table. ”
"Who is your god?" Pavadi asked.
"Do you think I'm going to tell you? If you want to know, find it yourself. "You know, even though I was disfellowship, I still know what loyalty is. ”
"Well, it seems a little unlikely that I could ask something directly from your mouth." Pavadi said wryly.
"It's good to know, but I don't think things are going well." Father An's gaze kept moving back and forth between the black fog and the orb, and as the snow-white symbols became fewer and fewer, Yu Siqi, who was behind the barrier, began to feel the unusually hot again. When she saw this scene, the girl couldn't help but contribute some of her strength to the barrier. The golden electricity was erected around the symbol like a fence, and the temperature began to slowly decrease again.
However, this kind of 'adding fuel and vinegar' to deal with the problem obviously does not completely solve their problem, and Tag said anxiously: "The reactor has been overloaded for too long, and if it continues like this, even if we can withstand it." That stove might not be able to hold up! ”
"Do you have any tricks?" Fr. Ann asked.
"While we can still get out of here, I suggest we abandon this fortress and leave directly." "I know it may be a difficult decision to accept, but it may be our only chance. ”
"If there is no fortress, does that mean that I and Xiaoxiao can't go back?" Father Ann asked again.
"There's no way to go back anytime soon, but you don't have to worry too much." When Tag saw that Father Ann's face was beginning to turn ugly, he hurriedly said euphemistically, "You know... With me and Reddy, and your help, we should soon be able to set up a makeshift camp down there. And then as long as it continues to develop, it won't be difficult to come up with a teleporter that will allow you to go home. ”
"Then I want to ask you, how long will it take for all this?" Father Ann asked calmly, a hint of impatience in his words.
"About 1,322," Reddy held up the wooden sign in his hand, which not only clearly described the steps and actions planned by Tag in great detail, but also counted the time it would take.
"Oh... Thankfully, I'm afraid I won't see that day coming. Yu Siqi quipped: "For more than a thousand years, Tag... Do you think that both me and the priest are Lamenhiani? ”
"You may not see it, but haven't you thought about reproduction?" Tag asked seriously, "Although it is not appropriate to say this now, isn't the biggest reason why human beings can survive in this world because they are good at reproducing?" ”
'Reproduction? It's a very elegant word, and it seems to Siqi that he has many more rude words to describe this primitive act. Although it was only mentioned unintentionally, it reminded him of some strange things.
Confused, he was quickly pulled back to reality by a series of explosions, not the reactor exploding, but the 'Camilla' in the black fog had an abnormal phenomenon.
As the black mist faded, the gray and white petals appeared in their original places. And from the withering petals, the human form made of blood and shadows spoke: "Tell me what I can do to kill myself." ”
"Is that you, Camilla?" Tag asked, surprised.
"Well, I don't know who you are, I don't even know who you are. But there was only one thought in my head, and that was to destroy myself. Camila said in a hollow tone, like an echo in the valley, every word, every line, every word did not make people feel a trace of emotion in it.
"You can try to hold on to that ball, the heat it is emitting now is enough to destroy anything that dares to touch it directly." Tag said solemnly, "If you don't mind, you can give it a try." ”
Camilla, who had been instructed, did not hesitate and stretched out her hands directly towards the hot red ball. When she officially came into contact with the orb, her body began to change dramatically.
A thick black mist erupted from her body and rose into the air along with the charred petals that were crumbling into curls. With her hands blackened, she did not choose to let go of the ball in her hand, but hugged it into her arms. She also opened her mouth and frantically inhaled the black smoke that was trying to escape from her body.
The color of the orb began to change to normal, but Camila's body collapsed even more. The ball eventually slipped from the blackened Camila and fell to the ground, rolling a few times without moving. Camilla, on the other hand, was as if she had been petrified, and she didn't move.
The storm slipped out of the barrier, muttering a few words beside the orb that no one understood. Then he looked up and said, "Remove the barrier, this guy said it's tired and doesn't want to be tossed by you anymore." The only thing it wants to do is get us to put it in its place. ”
"The communication went well!" Pavadi drew his sword that had reached deep into the ground, sheathed it, and said, "I didn't expect Camilla to be so conscious. ”
"It's probably because I was abandoned by the person I admired the most, so I made this decision." "If you want me to say, this is definitely not a reasonable thought or action. But on the side, the situation is in our favor, isn't it? ”
Tag, who picked up the ball from the ground, turned around and asked, "Now that the crisis is over, have you figured out when you will go home?" ”
