Guardian Chapter 167: I want to believe it, but...
It's nothing, a demon spirit just came, and it's okay now. Rin casually excused herself, and raised her leg to step through the low, broken window.
But before she could make a move, Talos had already taken the lead and hugged her in.
"I'm fine, you don't have to be so nervous all the time."
Rin moved in her arms, feeling that after all these recent events, Talos seemed to be paying a little too much attention to herself, which made her a little awkward.
"It's not nervous, I'm just taking care of my master, what's wrong."
Talos glanced down at the Rin in his arms, and couldn't say why, but he felt that such proximity made him feel at ease.
"What a fool." Rin turned her head and muttered something in a low voice, but she reached out and wrapped her arms around Talos's neck.
Anyway, if this is the case, of course you have to enjoy it, otherwise you will not be disappointed by the care of Talos.
And looking at the ghostly smile that unconsciously appeared on Rinrin's face, Talos knew that his master must not be thinking about anything good.
But what does it matter?
Messing with her, laughing with her, being able to be what Rin needs, isn't that what he has always wanted to do.
Talos smiled, and suddenly lowered his head and dropped a kiss......
Rin didn't react at first, but when she came back to her senses, her little face was already flushed. Then he reflexively shoved Talos and jumped out of his arms.
"Evening, I'll cook the dinner at night, otherwise sooner or later I'll starve to death by the dark dishes you made."
Rin touched her lips, and the slightly cool touch was still on her lips.
She tried to change the subject, but she stammered, apparently not recovering from the light kiss she had just given.
And when I walked into the kitchen, I clumsily knocked on the corner of the table, and I felt that half of my arm was numb.
Talos didn't speak, just sat at the table obediently, dragging his chin with his hands, and smiled as Rin Rin was busy in the simple open kitchen, and the smile on his lips unconsciously deepened...... Since this is only a base reserved for Yaren to stay temporarily, there are not many tableware and usable things left. Rin also had to wash the dinner knife that she had used for self-defense, and use it as a kitchen knife. It's a bit dull, but it's better than nothing.
"It's all over, why hasn't the mangs come back yet?"
After dinner, Rin and Talos sat on a low tree stump outside the house, looking at the stars as if they were chatting.
"Mangni said that the distance is long, and now that their whereabouts have been exposed, the Yunyin Association will definitely increase the defense of the Twilight River border, so if you want to find the weak point of the barrier and leave from here, I'm afraid it will take some effort."
Rin listened, just nodding thoughtfully.
But what Uncle Xuan Yu said suddenly echoed in his mind......
"The Yaren clan can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals."
Should I say it or not, Uncle Xuan really knows Yeren very well, since they have already found the weak point of the enchantment, they can still endure it, just sneak in one by one, and then collect intelligence in secret.
It's completely forbearing, just waiting for a chance to break with one blow.
And now, although his whereabouts are exposed, he can still unhurriedly dispatch people from outside the border to find a way to pick up Talos and leave.
It's really admirable for this kind of patience, but also unguardable.
"Rin, what are you thinking?"
Seeing that she seemed to have something on her mind, Talos just turned his head to look at her.
But at this moment, Talos, who was originally in good shape, only felt that his body was weak for a while, as if something was absorbing his spiritual power in his body.
He stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, although it was the body of a puppet, but a churning and discomfort from his lower abdomen made him feel more and more uncomfortable as if his body had been hollowed out.
"Talos, what's wrong with you!"
Rin noticed the oddity and hurried over to hold him up. But the bright red left on the corner of Talos's mouth clearly announced that his physical condition was not good, very bad.
"Rin, what is this, what's going on......" Talos grabbed her arm, grimacing to say something.
But just as he grabbed Rin's arm and stood up with her support, he accidentally saw the contract mark on Rin's arm, which was gradually fading.
Suddenly, his mind flashed through the piece of paper that had fallen out of Rinrin's pocket before, recording the termination of the contract, and his heart was shocked.
Don't......
"Ahem—"
With a violent tremor of his body, a mouthful of blood coughed up from Talos's mouth.
It is impossible for the armed puppet to have blood, it is only because what is sealed in his body is a living and undead spirit, so it is no different from a human in all aspects except for the body.
“…… Looks like I'm thinking too much. ”
"Talos!"
Rin calls his name, but Talos pushes her away and forcibly breaks free from Rin Rin's grasp. Then, due to exhaustion, he fell to the ground and fainted.
And the occurrence of this scene also made Rin completely confused.
She couldn't figure out why Talos was like this all of a sudden. Just watching his face become more and more ugly, and the joints of his body seem to become soft and boneless. It's like a lifeless, toy doll at the mercy of others.
Now, what to do......
Rin was in a mess, and deep within the border, there was neither a doctor nor anyone to turn to.
Wait a minute, doctor?!
Just when Rin was at a loss, the figure of mercury suddenly flashed in her mind.
Yes, the only person in the world who understands the structure of an armed puppet and can pinpoint the cause and heal Talos is Mercury!
Thinking of this, Rin didn't care about anything else, but took Talos back to the room with great difficulty, and hurriedly said, "Wait for me." So he hurried out.
In the depths of the Twilight River border, Rin couldn't tell the direction of the so-called direction, but just walked through the dense trees.
However, the depths of the border were like a labyrinth, making it difficult for her to find the right direction and find a way out.
But as she shuttled through the shadows of the dense forest trees, she didn't know that Talos, who had been left alone in the cabin in the depths of the twilight river, had gradually stabilized from the initial trembling and weakness.
And the body of this puppet also seems to have some subtle changes.
……
When Talos reopened his eyes, he didn't know how much time had passed.
Maybe it's just a short period of time, or maybe it's just that the moonlight is still thick outside, and the bright sunshine can't break through the night in a short time.
Talos sat up with his body propped up, only to feel a little weak and unable to muster up his strength.
"Chilling ......"
He was just about to speak, but the memories before he fell unconscious suddenly flooded into his mind!
The beating of the exploding heart, and the weightlessness of the spiritual power that seems to have been drained from the inside out. All the pain he had personally experienced came out of his mind.
"Rin, is that you......"
Talos muttered to himself, but the memory lingered, the faded contract sigil on Rinrin's arm. Rao didn't receive regular spiritual teachings, just a puppet who woke up from his slumber, and he also knew what the change in the contract seal meant.
"To break the contract, two people must be together—"
This sentence was like a curse, deeply imprinted in the heart of Talos.
He didn't believe that all this was what Rin said, just to try his best to break the contract with him and draw boundaries.
But......
Talos barely stood up against the wall, and although he didn't know what caused his body's abnormal reaction, there was indeed something that was gnawing at his spiritual power in his body, trying to suppress his power.
Just as he walked slowly outside the door, his eyes were suddenly caught by a dinner knife on the kitchen board.
The knife was quietly placed on the board, and through the moonlight slanting in through the window, a totem-like secret carving faintly appeared on the hilt, and it was obviously left by the spiritual power attached to it, not artificially carved.
If it were a normal day, such a delicate would not be noticed at all. It's just that the light in the room is not turned on, and the surroundings are dark, and only this ray of moonlight casts the mark on it.
"Rin-rin ......," Talos muttered, but his hands were secretly clenched.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the house!
And then, before Talos could make any moves, there was a flurry of arrows outside the house, speeding towards the cabin!
On the arrow is a spiritual power entanglement, and the sparks are overflowing.
Talos had no time to think, and jumped out of the window and fell into the drums outside.
But the moment he got out of the cabin, a fire that seemed to rise from the earth's crust ignited in an instant, and the darkness around him was lit up along with it.
The fire was blazing, accompanied by spiritual power, and the array that emerged from the ground at some unknown point seemed to drown everything in the flames.
At this moment, several people dressed in white cloaks and wearing pure white papier-mâché masks that could only cover their eyes and nose fell from the sky.
Several people descended from the sky one by one with the momentum of spiritual magic, and they stood precisely, centering on the place where the fire was burning, and surrounded the flames.
And these magic envoys who suddenly appeared, everyone seemed to be muttering something, and at the same time, spiritual power also rose from their bodies and gathered in one place.
"This is, the people of the Cloud Hidden Association."
Talos hid in a dwarf shrub, which, according to Mangni, had been around for a long time as a foothold for the Night, and could not be discovered suddenly.
Moreover, these people are clearly prepared......
Thinking of this, I saw that one of the magic envoys around the firelight suddenly stopped the spiritual magic in his mouth, and his eyes quickly wandered around, looking for him.
"That Yaren isn't here!"
In a word, it is like a boulder falling into the water, splashing countless waves.
Now, Talos's physical strength has not yet recovered, but looking at these magic envoys from Yun Yin in front of him, it seems that something is slowly growing and fermenting in his heart.
His hands pressed against his chest, trying to suppress the instinctive part of his body that he didn't know what it was, but that had been stirring.
At this time, the magic envoy who had just noticed that there was no one in the house just looked around silently, but suddenly his eyes fell on the shadows of the trees somewhere!
