Akasha looked worse than during the day, and Roddy asked with some uncertainty, "Can't sleep?"

Such questions were often ambiguous, but Roddy clearly had no ambiguous thoughts at this time - Akasha's mood was not quite right during the day when she was in the ruins, and at night, the young priest who had nearly lost his life in the ruins was afraid that the psychological pressure would be even greater.

"Hmm... I-I-" Akasha replied with her head bowed, "Can I sleep next to your tent?" Peace of mind. ”

This request surprised Roddy, who wanted to refuse, but swallowed back when the words came to his lips. Rubbing his eyebrows, Roddy then asked, "Scared?"

Akasha nodded in confusion, her grip on the bed tighter.

"Why don't you go to someone else? Didn't you ask Nata?"

This question made Akasha bite her lip, she whispered something, but it was completely lip language, even if Roddy turned on the "environmental acumen", he couldn't hear it, he frowned: "... What do you say?"

"I... I just want to be on your side..."

Akasha's voice was like a mosquito, and her cheeks turned red in the embers of the campfire, "Because you're not like them..."

Roddy thought about it, from knowing Akasha to saving her life twice in a row, every time she woke up in danger, the first thing she saw was herself, maybe this made her feel some kind of dependence, right?

Luo Di knew very well that the little priest in front of her was by no means a "princess disease" patient: she was afraid of heights, afraid of the dark, and even had difficulty sleeping at night in the forest, these psychological pressures that ordinary people did not have were caused by her past experience, and from the perspective of modern people, Luo Di would not find these psychological defects ridiculous.

Opposite... He understands well.

So Luo Di sighed: "You can sleep directly in the tent, I'll be outside." ”

"But—"

"Nothing, go to sleep, it's an order. ”

Akasha choked on Roddy's words, struggled inwardly a few times, and finally relented, holding her bed into Roddy's tent.

When psychological stress is approaching a tipping point, people tend to do things that they would not normally do - and when Akasha lies on the uncomfortable bed, feeling all the depression around her dissipate, her body and brain, which have been tense, finally calm down...

Then, Akasha finally realized what she had just done.

Anyone who does things impulsively regrets it later—Akasha was no exception, she almost instantly felt like she was going to burn with shame...

Fool! I can't control anything when I panic! How can I make such a request to Roddy?!

What would he think? Would he think I was seducing him?

Akasha was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into: as a "follower", he drove his "master" outside the tent, this thing is too much!

And what do others think when they see it?

"Rowe, Rody... Did you sleep?"

After much hesitation, she sat up and tentatively spoke out of the tent.

Say. ”

"I... My head was a little messy, and so- I didn't mean to..."

It's so stupid, can't I find a better excuse?

Akasha complained weakly about herself, but after a long time, she didn't hear Roddy's response.

Her heart rose to her throat, for fear that Roddy would scold her next—but then Roddy's slightly calm answer came from outside the tent:

"If it was me in the past, maybe when you said the first sentence, I would think that you did it too much, unreasonable, and even ill-intentioned..."

"But now, that's not going to happen. ”

Roddy sighed, "I'm sure you're really scared, and I'm sure you're not trying to calm your mind with any other purpose, right?"

Akasha sat in the tent in a daze, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"I'm sure you're not kidding, so... Rest well. ”

“... Well. ”

Akasha's response was a little choked, and for a moment, she wanted to say a lot, but in the end she just whispered "thank you" with red eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.

Mutual understanding and tolerance.

Outside the tent, Roddy rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and could only sigh in his heart for this sentence...

Now that you understand this truth, what's the use?

June 1.

Early in the morning, in the eastern part of the Silent Forest.

Inside the ruins of the High Elves, the ruins, which had been quiet for more than 700 years, suddenly resounded with a rumbling sound - outside the ruins, dozens of "steel-backed wild boars" with small bodies like small mountains smashed into the small trees in front of them, and rushed straight towards the invaders who entered their territory.

The wild boar may sound like a "pig", but in the forest, it is far more dangerous than most other beasts... The defense of the steel-backed wild boar is comparable to plate armor, even if it is cut by an axe in the front, it is difficult to be injured, and the wild boar in the cluster is even more dangerous than the "bone armor giant elephant".

This kind of sound is far more terrifying than the wolves, but just as they were about to approach the intruders in front of them, the dazzling blue light suddenly flashed, and the subsequent explosion sounded even more startled countless birds...

"Boom!"

The wild boar at the front flew up in midair, its entire body reduced to countless pieces of flesh and blood. The diffuse shock wave completely blew away the entire herd of wild boars, and their sturdy flesh could not withstand the shock at all, and most of the wild boars were instantly shattered, bleeding from their mouths and noses and dying...

The boars, who had fallen to the ground and tried to get up, had not taken a few steps before they were directly knocked down by the following rays of light - the violent movement lasted less than half a minute, and the battle was completely "over" before it had "begun".

The "Sacred Order" team slowly stepped into the ruins, and the four Arcanists cleared the fragments of the boar carcass to the side, then made way for Lucius, who was standing behind. The silver-haired Holy Elder slowly walked through the blood-soaked ruins, and after his footsteps stopped, he raised his scepter:

"Dragon tracking. ”

This skill, which is designed to lock the dragon's breath, is far beyond the reach of ordinary arcanists, and only Lucius, as an elder, is qualified to learn such a tracking technique from the core level of the Holy Order.

At this time, as he cast his spell, the element of rhythm faintly appeared in the air, and finally condensed an arrow with intricate patterns on the ground beneath his feet...

"The location is determined. ”

Lucius breathed a sigh of relief: "The guy we're going to face is nearby... It's—"

Before he finished speaking, Lucius noticed that the pattern condensed by the tracking technique suddenly became disordered, and the original clear direction gradually disappeared, and before it dissipated, Lucius found that it seemed to be faintly twisting in the other direction...

Unheard of, Lucius immediately cast "Dragon Tracking" again, but this time there was no vision - the pattern on the ground remained clear and stable until it disappeared.

Lucius had no way of knowing why this was the case, and although he was a high-level arcanist, the level of the skill "Dragon Tracking" was really beyond the highest level of current "arcane" research in the Holy Order, and as a result, Lucius was completely "aware of what it was" - he would release it, but he didn't know how it worked, so he didn't know what such a situation meant.

However, in order to ensure the correctness of the skill, he still released the "Dragon Tracking" seven times in a row, and the results of these skills were the same as the second cast, so he finally no longer doubted the correctness of the direction of the advance, and ordered: "Keep going, get ready for battle!"

Time continued to pass, and by the time of June 10th, the team that had never gained more in the forest finally made Roddy feel the pressure like never before.

There are just over a month and a few days left before Camilla's countdown, but Roddy has only found ninety-three hedrons so far - in addition to the first ruins planned, the second and third ruins that he arrived at later... None of the crystals were found.

In other words, the remaining two hundred or so charged crystals can only be relied on in the last two ruins.

At this time, the team was close to the penultimate goal of the plan, but in Roddy's mind, he still recalled the "tragic" scene in the previous two ruins: Camilla had said that the high elves would use the hedron explosion to kill the enemy, and two days ago, Roddy did learn the true power of the hedron explosion...

In the ruins that the team found, all the stone buildings were almost gone, the fragments were radiating from the inside out, and many of the stones had even turned into glass-like crystals due to the high temperature, all of which reminded Roddy of the scene of the "nuclear bomb test explosion".

The oppression of the time limit made Roddy's heart more and more impatient, and his face became worse and worse, so that Akasha, who was always behind him, secretly blamed himself for disturbing Roddy's sleep.

"The combat team is moving faster, and the engineering team is ready to respond. ”

It's not that Roddy didn't sleep well, he just felt that his team was still moving too slowly, so at this time, he simply let the main combat team directly separate from the rear - his heart was a little nervous at this time, it was like a gamble, and what Roddy hated the most was to entrust his fate to the "unknown".

However, after a few minutes, Roddy finally confirmed that he was lucky: as soon as the team entered the ruins, the soldiers in front of them received the good news: a large number of hedrons had been found in the basement of the center!

"Check the quantity right away!"

Roddy's heartbeat increased a little, he glanced back at Nokia, which was always following the team not far away, waved his hand to signal it to follow him into the ruins, and then said to Sodroll, who picked up a shield not far away: "Pay attention to the building structure when entering, beware of landslides!"

"Understood!"

Sodrore knew that Roddy was in a hurry and had no nonsense, so he turned his head and shouted to the team behind him: "Team 1 and 2 will move forward with me, fan search, and the scout team will light the torches!"

He led the team from the north of the ruins into the underground area, and Roddy did not follow in the first place, but out of caution, carefully searched around the ruins for the same items left here.

[The first update, the second update began to write, and it is estimated that it will be more in the early morning. 】
