Chapter 740: Waiting for an Opportunity
The "road" is the fastest path to Elson and the best way to escape from the monsters. August 1 Chinese ≈≥≥.≈
"Let's do it, everyone! We'll be able to get this guy done tomorrow!"
The morale of the fleeing for days was low, and Sodrore's shout like this suddenly made the atmosphere rise a lot, after all, everyone was full of confidence in Elson City's defensive circle - in their eyes, even if a dragon was chasing behind, Elson could blow the other party to pieces!
In the dark night, Sodrol glanced back at the forest like a dormant beast, and when the team took a short break, he came to Nora again and whispered: "If you can hold it up, now you can continue to run with three horses, and if the horses can't run, throw them away, and the rest is up to you..."
"Captain... What do you mean?"
Nora didn't react at once, why was Sodrore still boosting morale before, but now he just let her go first?
"It takes time to prepare for the attack in Elson City, and the more prepared you are, the more certain you will be to deal with this monster. Sodrore's reason was so good that Nora finally believed it, and then got up to say goodbye to the rest of the team, and quickly set out on the way back.
Sodrore had actually considered the current situation in which the squad split into several teams and fled in different directions. But when I think of the opponent's unstoppable strength, maybe sacrificing a small part can save most of it, but the problem is... This is Evta, if a powerful monster is allowed to mutate here without limit, then who can stop it in the future?
Demonic creatures are terrifyingly aggressive, and they are no ordinary beasts willing to sit out in a corner. Sodrore is now letting Nora rush back early, the main reason... It's because he doesn't have much optimism about the next escape.
He turned his head to look at the tired crowd and knew that this was indeed a harsh reality. If she is really chased by the monster, maybe Nata, who is a ranger, will have a chance to escape, but everyone else is probably in a catastrophe.
Nora walked away with the three horses, the sound of horses' hooves echoing in the night, leaving Sodrore's heart a little empty.
The next morning, the Tucker Magister walked out of the custom heels shop, turned to say hello to Fink, the store manager, and left.
Naturally, this shop does not only make high heels as a kind of leather goods, but can be customized from saddles to leather boots. So early in the morning, the Tucker Magister himself came here and made a belt out of the magic lizard skin he was carrying—of course, his purpose was not to buy things, but to observe the structure of the house.
The buildings in Elson City are all built during the High Elf period, and the main structure is basically stone, but the interior also uses thick wooden beams. The leather goods store has two floors and is not structurally complicated. Tucker figured out the structure after a few glances, so he had a plan in mind for the next step - he made a few seemingly casual gestures outside the leather goods store before leaving the store.
After leaving, a few magicians who were not attending the meeting today passed by the shop seemingly by coincidence, and then leaned against the wall outside the house and chatted.
On the other side, Kardashian, who woke up in the hotel room, stretched her waist, rubbed her head like a bird's nest, and got up to change her clothes with sleepy eyes - the life of no one is too comfortable for her, sleeping until she wakes up naturally, and eating delicious food until her mouth cramps... The comfortable living atmosphere of Elson City made her so "happy" that she almost forgot what she was here for.
"Roddy's back... Then take the time to go to him. ”
Kardashian snapped her fingers, and the "cleansing" made her skin instantly moisturized and white. After putting on her ice-blue robe in front of the mirror, she suddenly remembered that there was something else going on today: "But... I'll have to go to the cobbler shop to measure the size of the heels. ”
Waving her hand and using a spell to condense a few ice cubes in the water glass next to her, Kardashian took the water soaked with flower petals, took a few sips of "Goo Dong Goo Dong", and shook her head: "Then I'll go to him after I'm done, Roddy can't run anywhere else anyway." ”
The eldest lady of the dragon clan arranged today's itinerary easily, swaggered out of the hotel, waved her hand and refused the conversation of the two mages, ordered six breakfasts in the restaurant alone, snorted and ate cleanly, and then went out slowly.
At the same time, the procession of the Dominic elders had arrived in the city square across the street from the cobbler's shop, waiting for the "Lord's Speech" to begin soon. The arcanists wore robes underneath and over-washed linen clothes, each wearing deliberately worn-out leather boots, and their loud voices and accents confirmed speculation about his identity...
Dominic looked at the square full of chairs in front of him, reached out and touched the "Forbidden Ball" hidden in his pocket, and the restrained fluctuations made him feel reassured.
In the City Lord's Mansion, after breakfast, Roddy was chatting with Camilla about what he had seen in Raciman.
After crying happily yesterday, Camila's mood seemed to brighten up all of a sudden. When listening to Roddy talk about the Lasiman Council, he even smiled back and forth—Roddy had never seen her so relaxed and happy, and couldn't help but say: "You look good when you smile like this, it's not good to keep your face tight on weekdays." ”
Camilla was stunned for a moment, and turned her face to look out the window: "Are you willing to keep your face tight?" It's not because you threw everything to me, and you were tired and half dead all day, where can you relax..."
Despite her efforts, Camilla's red face still shone in the sunlight that shone indoors, making Roddy laugh.
Camilla knew she couldn't hide it, and she pouted at Roddy's laughter. The golden sunlight outside the window poured into the room, reflecting the red robe particularly dazzlingly, and also made Roddy suddenly feel a little in a trance - time and space seemed to freeze here, because Camilla's appearance at this time was exactly the same as the arrogant little wizard in his impression.
There was a little indescribable emotion in my heart, and I didn't even know why. The solidification of his distraction made Camila even more ashamed, but a slight fluctuation of magic interrupted Roddy's memories - he woke up suddenly, and looked down to see that the white hedron that was now on the table had just made an extremely slight vibration.
"What is this?"
Camila's heart was beating fast, her eyes turned away, and she asked casually.
Roddy had just taken out the hedron but had not told where it had come from. As a "guardian", she instinctively sensed a familiar aura, but she couldn't say what it was.
"A relic from the High Elf civilization may be able to help you escape the confines of Elson City. Roddy reached out and picked up the hedron, "A Grand Arcanist's soul, to be exact. ”
Camilla held her breath for a moment, staring at the hedron with shock at first, and then involuntarily looking at Roddy - she had always regarded the restriction of "leaving Elson City" as an impossible wish, because the more she learned about the magic of the High Elves, the less optimistic she was about the odds of solving the problem. For a long time, she had completely given up on this option, but she never thought about... Roddy had always remembered this wish of hers!
Camilla has seen a lot of things about her boss painting cakes for employees, and she also suffered a lot of similar losses in the "Holy Meeting" at the beginning. But now it seems that Roddy is really much stronger than the "Holy Meeting"...
"Which Grand Arcanist?"
"It's Edith, but I don't know the specifics. ”
Roddy reached out and picked up the hedroder, he did see that it emitted an extremely faint fluctuation just now, but now when he probed with his mental power, everything returned to calm.
"It's familiar," Camilla now has an amazing memory, and after a moment's thought, she continued, "It is believed that the Grand Arcanist who died in a special cause in the Battle of the Island, was later posthumously awarded the title of 'Guardian Star' in honor of her heroic deeds. ”
"She?" Roddy raised his eyebrows, he had never seen the image of Edith, only remembered those lake-blue eyes, and never thought that it was a female high elf.
But gender doesn't matter anymore, because she has now become a mere "consciousness".
Thinking of this, Roddy handed the hedron to Camilla. The latter picked it up and looked at it for a while, and then came to a similar conclusion: no one had the means to restore the other party's energy, unless she opened her mouth to give instructions.
After all, "soul" is too advanced a topic for those famous grand arcanists to figure out. Luo Di also knew that he couldn't force it, so he put away the hedron and put it in his pocket: "I'll take it to the magic tower after the speech, I don't know if the charged hedron can work on it." ”
The two of them continued to finish their breakfast, and then changed into formal robes. After all, this is not preparing to go to the battlefield, so he just straddles the short sword given by the frost dragon lord Victor around his waist, and the ice ring and the "Ring of Forgiveness" are one in each hand, with the shadow dragon crystal on his chest as decoration, regardless of the image, as long as this group of magicians knows the goods, they will realize what role the person standing in front of them is.
With everything in order, he and Camilla walked out of the mansion and stepped into the carriage to the town square. When he was sitting in the carriage, Roddy did not forget to ask: "Among the people from Charles II, there is no trouble?"
"I've sent people to watch and occasionally take a look at it myself, but they seem to be intimidated by the first few days of the exhibition, and now they're acting quite honestly. Camilla closed her eyes and felt it, and continued: "The two Magisters are walking towards the square, discussing the delivery of a letter to Charles II. ”
Roddy nodded, the four arrested "Holy Order" guys were repaired by him last night, and those who tried to curse were all broken teeth and even jawbones on the spot, and from these people's mouths, he could also confirm that the other party had no other follow-up plans for the time being.
"When the meeting is over, it's time to free up your hands and clean up the bunch. ”
He leaned back on the soft cushion, already planning his next step.
