Chapter 7: Late at Night

Although healing magic can quickly restore wounds, magic is still harmful to the human body when used too much, which is an important reason why traditional medicine is not as efficient as healing magic, and the threshold is higher, but it has not been eliminated. If it weren't for the very urgent need, most people would not use magic as their primary means of healing and healing.

At night, the Avenger camp slept in a disciplined manner.

Near the side of the hill was a stilt building that had once been a watchtower outside the cave fortress, and Sophia had slightly modified it to make this separate wooden building outside her residence, rather than the heavily gated boudoir of the cave fortress. In addition to increasing her closeness to the people in the camp, this was also a sign of her courage, after all, she had been assassinated twice, and it took a lot of courage to live in such a vulnerable place.

The door of the stilt building was tightly closed, but the light from the inside showed that the people inside had not yet slept.

Now that it has been said that Owen is her close guard, Sophia is not taboo, and openly takes the injured Owen to her bedroom to clean up the wounds.

"Why don't you resist? As long as you make a move, no one can catch you. Seeing the wound on Owen's forehead, Sophia was puzzled.

"If I hurt your people, you're going to have a hard time. Owen smiled nonchalantly, "And you know, that level doesn't count like an injury to me at all." ”

"But...... Forget it," Sophia shook her head, "Owen, I knew you were going to come to me." But next time, can you say it in advance, and don't scare me like that again, okay?"

"Hey ......"

Owen didn't answer, he looked at Sophia with a big smile.

Although the other party was the person she was looking forward to, it was the first time she was looked at by him so directly, and Sophia was a little embarrassed. She looked away, her face flushing.

"By the way, why are you the only one coming back?" Sophia was anxious to find another topic.

"It's a long story. ”

At the mention of Ray, Owen put away his smile. He got up from his chair and walked to the window, looking out at the dark mountains in the distance.

The thunder that exploded at noon immediately plunged this remote village, which had been peaceful for a long time, into turmoil.

"Is the end coming?" the village elders speculated.

However, I don't know if it has been peaceful for too long and I don't want to make changes, or if the thunder is still not shocking enough. After hours of calm, the so-called "end times" did not come, and the villagers returned to a peaceful life, until they discovered that an acquaintance who had been living in the village had disappeared.

At midnight, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

In the backyard of the chapel, illuminated by a dim oil lamp, an old man was sweating with a shovel and digging a lawn full of flowers one by one.

Although Sixtus is not good at fighting, it does not mean that he neglected physical training. The pampering and pampering of the chief judge for many years did not loosen his old skeleton in his seventies, and he dug up the soil with a spade and a spade, and his eye-catching movements looked no different from a young and vigorous youth from a distance.

But in reality, Sixtus was forced to do such heavy physical work on his own. After all, two people died in his chapel in one day, and this kind of thing must not be easily publicized, and the retired chief judge at this time will no longer have the holy magistrate around him to do this kind of aftermath work.

Finally dug a big hole, Sixtus was already panting, he paused for a while, and felt that his physical strength was far inferior to when he was young. After resting for a moment and wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel hanging around his neck, Sixtus continued to work with his arms thrown off.

Suddenly, only a slight "pop" was heard, and the shovel that had been stepped on hard seemed to have touched some hard object. Ssixtus bent down to inspect it, and saw that it was just an ordinary stone slab, with nothing special to draw attention to. The old man lifted the shovel and smashed it a few times, smashing the stone slab to pieces, and then picked out the fragments piece by piece and continued excavating.

After digging a large pit that could hold two people, Sixtus pushed the two marijuana bags next to him into the pit and filled the earth back with a spade......

"It turns out that Lei has such an experience, in the past and present life, fate is reincarnated, if I hadn't listened to what you said in person, I wouldn't have believed it. I didn't expect Julian to be so deeply implicated. I knew what happened in the imperial capital of the Rokar Empire before, and you would definitely be involved in it, but I didn't expect it to be so terrifying. Recalling what Owen had just told her about what happened in the Rokar Empire, although she hadn't experienced it herself, Sophia still had a feeling of the aftermath of the disaster.

"Anyway, it's finally over. Ray is going to follow the Golden Dragons to the Golden Dragon Sanctuary to deal with what he has to do, and Julian ...... "Thinking back to his ill-fated childhood classmate, Owen can't help but sigh a little, "Let's hope Julian can make the right choice." ”

"Dragons, the Order of Truth, Millennial Reincarnation, Imperial Civil War, Insidious Empress...... It's too complicated, so many things are mixed together, and each time it's an earth-shattering event, and the ordeal I've suffered here is nothing in comparison. ”

"You can't say that. Sophia, as long as it's about you, nothing is insignificant. ”

"Owen, I'm ......"

It was the first time to hear such straightforward and heartwarming words from Owen's mouth, and Sophia's heart was like a calm sea. The tears that had been held back for a long time could no longer be held back, and they flowed like pearls from the corners of their eyes.

"Actually, I've been here for days, and I've been investigating the situation in this camp before I show up, and I know that the necromancer has attacked you. Don't worry, Sophia, I'll take care of this matter, and you can manage this world with peace of mind. Although the Lich King Callowen has helped me a few times, if he dares to attack you again, even if he fights for his life, I will not spare him. ”

Sophia had no immunity to these almost sworn words. She could no longer restrain her long-suppressed emotions, pounced, hugged Owen, and cried, tears welling up......

"Come back this time, I won't leave you again. ”

Owen also stroked Sophia's blonde hair and promised.

......

Some rejoice, others lose.

Outside the stilt building, a slender figure was leaving on the moor.

On this night, Joyka did not "struggle" all night in the city casino more than ten kilometers away as usual, and he didn't know why, he returned to the camp early tonight, but saw this scene outside Sophia's residence.

"That's right, I'm the superfluous one. ”

Joyka smiled wryly and laughed at herself. He no longer looked back at the stilted building, and leaped into the darkness.
