Volume 1: Arrogance Chapter 75: Impulsiveness (1st Update)
"Whew...... It's finally over......"
In a room in the mansion, Xiao Yueluo dropped the quill in her hand and got up and stretched.
"I didn't think it would be so tiring when I saw the princess doing these things." After reading the documents for a few days in a row, Xiao Yueluo's mind is now full of those text plans, "Why don't you rest for a while......?"
He glanced at the papers piled up on the side of the table, then got up and walked straight out the door.
"Miss, are you going out?"
As soon as she led the horse to the gate of the mansion, Xiao Yueluo was attracted by a sound, and then turned her head to look for a while before finding Adrian standing in the bushes with a large pair of scissors in his hand.
At this time, he was not wearing the black deacon robe, but had changed into a very common gardener's attire, and the beads of sweat on his forehead had obviously been done for a long time.
"You're pruning the garden?"
"Yes, because no one has taken care of it for a long time, and I happen to be free today, so I'll deal with it." Adrian replied with a smile, and at the same time his eyes fell on the brown horse next to Xiao Yueluo, "Miss, this is going out of the city?" Do you need me to follow? ”
"No, I'm going to go to Remulos this time, and if I have time, I'll go to Nikkor City again, so it's more convenient to be alone." A few days ago, she had received a message from Eudora that she had been invited to see the results of their hunt, although it was not clear what there was to be interested in this...... However, she was originally planning to go to Remlos, so it was okay to go to Nikkor City by the way, so it was a gift of encouragement to them.
"Remulos...... If Miss is going to go, it's better to make some preparations, after all, there is some unevenness these two days. ”
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yueluo frowned, obviously a little puzzled by Adrian's inexplicable statement.
"Actually, there was news from Nickel City the night before yesterday that those mutant beasts of Remlos had re-emerged from the forest, and now they may have dealt with the soldiers at the border again...... Hand up...... Eh, Miss Evelina! ”
Riding in the dust, when Adrian reacted, Xiao Yueluo's figure was no longer visible in his field of vision......
Riding all the way, leaving only billowing dust and smoke and those doubtful eyes, even when approaching the city gates, there was no intention of slowing down.
"Get out of the way!"
The voice of the scolding carried a hint of anxiety, and at the same time, the worry on his face was not concealed at the moment.
"It's General Evelina, Captain ......"
"Get out of the way."
"Yes!"
Everyone immediately stood on either side of the gate, and even Andrew walked over silently, but the frowning brow showed no sign of letting go during the whole process: what was she going to do in such a hurry?
After leaving Tours City, Xiao Yueluo rushed towards Nickel City without stopping......
In the evening, Nikkor City, Isaiah's temporary residence
"General Humer, please tell me what's going on?"
Xiao Yueluo pressed one hand on the table, her eyes staring at Isaiah deep and dark, as if she wanted to completely swallow the person in front of her.
"Miss Everina, please calm down for a moment." Isaiah wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face nervous, in addition to being afraid of the influence of that momentum, more of a weak heart for the person in front of him. Although he said last time that he wanted to meet Xiao Yueluo, he didn't expect this to be the case at all.
The girl in front of her looked very embarrassed, and her white tunic dress was also covered with blood, especially the exhaustion on her face...... But if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could he believe that such a thin person would dare to cross the entire herd alone, and succeed, knowing that no one could do it even before the mutation.
Xiao Yueluo didn't speak, just quietly looked at the person in front of her, but even so, the evil aura wrapped around her body was enough to make Isaiah feel stressed.
"I know that at the end of the day, I'm partly responsible, but those ...... No, it's Miss Evelina's group of mercenaries...... I really can't stop it if I want to. ”
Isaiah's face was full of tears, if he knew that letting those lords out would attract such a bad star, even if he chose to lock them up, he would never let them out of the city, okay......
"You mean they got out of the city on their own?"
There was silence for a moment before Xiao Yueluo slowly opened her mouth under Isaiah's cautious gaze. And at the moment when Xiao Yueluo spoke, the condensed air around her seemed to be diluted, and the tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared by half, and at the same time, Isaiah also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, and I didn't know when I went out, otherwise I wouldn't have said anything to get them out of the city, given the situation outside."
The thought of this Isaiah gave me a little headache, knowing that all the soldiers in this town, including himself, had been rescued by that group of mercenaries, and if something happened to any of them in his defensive area, I am afraid that many people would feel guilty for the rest of their lives.
"Where did you go?"
"I heard from the soldiers who were guarding the city, as if it were ...... Remulos ......"
What about people?
(⊙_⊙)?
Turning his head to look at the window that had been opened at some point, Isaiah was shocked, and then hurriedly ran to the window and stretched out his head to see: I really jumped down, hey!
Σ(っ °Д °; )っ
Because when she entered the city before, the original brown horse was seriously injured by the mutant beast, so Xiao Yueluo could only walk out of the city, but fortunately, Remulus was not very far from here, which made Xiao Yueluo only take more than an hour to reach the edge of the forest, but after arriving......
The dark interior of the forest was in stark contrast to the place where Xiao Yueluo was standing at this time, and the girl looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the air, and it took a while for a while to come back to her senses from the wolf howl that came from the depths of the forest: "Are you really impulsive?" ”
Xiao Yueluo shook her head, then bent down and pulled out the dagger tied to her calf, and then the cold light flashed, and the tunic dress also turned into a short skirt in the next moment: "I can only do this for the time being, and then ......"
The forest was a little hot at night, and Xiao Yueluo walked in it with a dagger in her hand, and from time to time she could smell a faint smell of blood in the air.
"It's not an option, if only we could find the makeshift camp they set up, huh?" The movement under her feet paused slightly, and then Xiao Yueluo turned her head to look at the bushes on the side, and said coldly, "Come out!" ”
The leaves swayed, and then Xiao Yueluo saw a blue-black giant wolf emerge from the bushes.
"Wolves? That is to say......"
The blue-white eyes narrowed slightly, and then the wolf pounced on Xiao Yueluo without the slightest warning.
"Poof!"
"Shhh...... Careless. ”
The pain from her arm made Xiao Yueluo gasp, although she had just subconsciously dodged, she was still scratched because the attack was too sudden, but ......
"Looks like I'm the better guy." Glancing at the giant wolf lying on the ground but not yet dead, Xiao Yueluo slowly walked over and pulled back the dagger pierced at the neck, and then whispered "Rest in peace", and then the knife fell in her hand, blood splashed, and the giant wolf was completely declared dead at this moment.
"Looks like we'll have to find a place to treat the wound first......"
Because of the injury to her arm, Xiao Yueluo had to stop and rest in the tree for the night, but she quickly left the place before dawn the next morning. I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, except for the lone wolf, Xiao Yueluo didn't find any mutant beasts all night, as if those mutant beasts didn't have the slightest interest in the scattered bloody qi.
Because considering the situation of Eudora and them, and also having the intention of cleaning the wounds, Xiao Yueluo followed the terrain to find the nearby river, and then unexpectedly found the traces left by a group of mercenaries, but it was just ......
After a night's time, the wound on Xiao Yueluo's arm had a faint tendency to become inflamed, but thinking about it, it was also a wound caused by a wild wolf, plus it was not cleaned and dressed in time......
"You have to find some anti-inflammatory herbs first, but this kind of place ......"
Xiao Yueluo's brows furrowed again, but not because she didn't know herbs, but because of the environment here...... You must know that as a person who is often injured, even if you have not studied medicine, you can roughly distinguish those commonly used herbs. But in this kind of place, even if you ask those court doctors to come, I'm afraid you won't be able to find one, not because you don't know it, but because there is no one at all.
Since the advent of mutant beasts, most plants have also mutated to a greater or lesser extent, in addition to animals. And because the power to cause mutation comes from those negative emotions, it will naturally affect these mutated animals or plants at the same time.
And those who are weaker or smaller in themselves, after being infected by these negative forces, are easy to die, and those who do not die will also lose their minds because of this, and become monsters that only know how to kill, but such mutant beasts generally do not live long, and the last ones left are mutant beasts with great strength and wisdom like a wolf; The same is true for plants, the weak will die or even become extinct, and the already strong trees will become unusually tall, of course, it is obviously impossible for plants to have intelligence.
After cleaning and drying the wound, due to the limited conditions, Xiao Yueluo could only hastily bandage the torn sleeve of her coat, and then ran towards the depths of the forest again......
For the next few days, Xiao Yueluo had been walking around the forest, and she naturally found a lot of traces left by Eudora and them. At first, she was a little happy, after all, finding these campfires meant that she was not going in the wrong direction, and the injury on her arm was also showing signs of improvement. But the further she went, the more anxious she became. Especially after discovering the dwindling number of campfires, as well as the weapons and deformed armor scattered around, for all of these points to a problem......
