Chapter 20 Search and Rescue
The moonlit treetops were in the middle of the night, and the light was very good. However, occasionally, the earth and gravel raised by the air currents and the scattered and aggregated smoke clouds stained the brightness of the moonlight with haze. And wait for the cool breeze to sweep away the thin smoke that fills the forest of the Blue Capital School Park,Through the dense trees, I just saw three figures running quickly in the direction of the northwest corner of the school park,It's Neil、Freya and Olivia。 Neal wrapped his head in a scarf and dressed in a cadet knight's uniform jacket, followed the roar in his head, and rushed to the front with a sharp blade and a sword. Freya followed, wearing a crystal blue magic cloak and a magic ring that constantly shimmered, and from time to time unleashed gusts of wind to rush to the monsters that approached the team. Olivia was in charge of the back of the hall, and she was seen wearing a short dark sorcerer's robe with a pair of khaki breeches, holding a wand in her left hand and a short dagger in her right hand, guarding the surroundings. At this time, the three of them traveled in a row, shuttling through the group of demonic beasts hidden in the woods.
Neil kept twitching his nose and relied on his keen sense of smell to avoid the location of the large number of monsters as much as possible, leading Freya and Olivia to the left and right to avoid unnecessary head-on confrontation, but Rao still consumed a lot of physical strength. Neil occasionally looked back at the two people who were following him, and he could see that the two magicians, whose faces were pale, were still gritting their teeth and keeping up with his steps. At this moment, the cold wind was blowing, and the cold leaves followed Neil's eyes to brush the girl's slightly hot cheeks, and Freya and Olivia flinched for a moment, hurriedly avoiding Neil's gaze. Originally, Neil wanted them to go back and continue to return to the school park, but they couldn't resist Freya and Olivia, who were resolute, and they didn't want to go. Neil thought for a moment and quietly slowed down. The guilt that had been buried deep in Freya's chests suddenly came up, and Olivia even lowered her head and whispered to herself: "Finally, this guy Neil pulled down his son and asked himself to protect little Irene." But look at what you've done.,Not only did you take Erin back to the school park despite Freya's persuasion.,And let Erin disappear under his nose..."After a short throbbing,The three of them were silent.,Only cooperate with the tacit understanding to neatly solve the demonic beasts that are in the way.,Step by step towards the front。
Even so, as the night of the witch deepened, more and more animals roamed here were alienated, and the inevitable encounters still dragged the three of them forward nervously. The three of them managed to break through the natural barrier formed by rows of dense trees, and the dreamlike light and scenery suddenly occupied their field of vision. I saw that the whole field of the whole large root Ezuman vine in front of me was intricately coiled, the smooth and thick purple rhizome crawled all over the world, and almost every vine was covered with Baez butterflies that were flapping their wings and emitting a pale blue glow, from the eyes of the three Neils, these small glowing blue butterflies seemed to have transformed into flowers and leaves of light on the vine. Neil stepped forward and reached out to touch it, and the faint blue spot of light flew away. Rubbing carefully, there was a cold and slippery feel in the palm of his hand, Neil instantly drew his knife and slashed it, and with a "ding" sound, this slash was like cutting into the golden stone, leaving only a small opening. Neil put away his knife and turned back, and the faint glow slowly fell again. Neil told Freya and Olivia a few words, and then led the two to the depths again.
"Freya, further in this direction—" Olivia spoke suddenly. "Well, it's one of the forbidden places in the school park.,Fasatni Mountain.。 Freya nodded, in understanding. "Fasatni?" Neil asked, slicing open the beast's neck. "The mountain beyond that is called Fasatni. Because in the past two years, people have often disappeared from here, so the group of people made this place a forbidden area and ended it hastily. And the leaders of the school park didn't explain much,。 Freya replied, and then quickly struck, and a strong wind unleashed a demonic beast that slammed into Neil's feet, and Neal stabbed it twice. "Although it has become a forbidden area, it has also become a good place for many students to explore..."Olivia naturally took over the conversation, but was interrupted by an alienated rabbit that suddenly rushed in. She hurriedly swung her dagger and slashed the rabbit to the ground. "It's dangerous.." Olivia breathed a sigh of relief, and Neil stabbed it with a flick of his hand, then retrieved the knife and glanced at Olivia with some confusion. At this moment, an alienated spotted python suddenly rushed towards Neil, who took advantage of his dislocation to dodge a blow and reflexively cut off most of the python's body. As soon as Neil relaxed his mind a little, the "dead" python was tightly wrapped around Neil's body. For a while, Neil couldn't break free, and he didn't want to think that at this time, a bird-shaped demonic beast sprang out from the side, closed its sharp beak and went straight to Neil's head. Freya hurriedly released the wind spell, but it was quickly dodged, and continued to stab Neil in the forehead during the momentary gap between the spells. But seeing that at this time, the branch "trembled" and stretched and wrapped around the demonic beast, stumbling it for a while, Freya quickly turned out the magic guide book and struck the sharp wind pillar again, releasing a direct penetration of the demonic beast. Freya wiped her sweat and Neil, who had broken free from the python, looked at Olivia, who was also sweating. Neil looked at Olivia in amazement, not for anything else but her long shiny emerald green hair that was too dazzling. Freya asked with concern, "Olivia, are you alright?" "Hmm..."Olivia came back to her senses and found that Neil was staring at her, and immediately turned her head with a flush on her face, and said, "What's there to see?" Seeing that Neil still looked confused, Freya helped explain: "Olivia's mother is a member of the Rikasa elves who have the power of some forest elves, but this power has been unstable, otherwise Olivia's own talent would not be a magician's apprentice with a wand now." After listening to Freya's words, Neil was thoughtful, and then he proposed to take a break, and Freya and Olivia agreed and could finally take a breath to make a supplement. Olivia's long, bright green hair faded over time and returned to its original golden yellow.
As Neil was about to leave again, Freya suddenly let out a startled cry and muttered to herself, "Where's my copper coin?" When she reacted, she looked at Neil and Olivia, who were waiting for her, and said to them in a distracted manner, "Go first, it's important to save Erin." I'll have to go back the way I just came to see if I can find the copper coin. "Freya, don't you care if you're alone?" Olivia asked nervously. "Don't worry, trust me. I'll catch up with you right away if I find it. With that, Freya turned her head and searched everywhere for the copper coin. Seeing her panicked look, Olivia and Neil couldn't say anything more and could only move on. On the way, Neil suddenly asked Olivia, "Is there anything special about Freya's copper coin?" Olivia, still worried about Freya's safety, replied nonchalantly, "I only heard her say that it was given to her by a very important benefactor." Freya cherishes that copper coin very much, and usually wears it on her body, but this time it must have been lost in the battle with that group of monsters. Olivia paused, and then said, "Hehe, those who are jealous and mock of Freya have always thought that it was some rare treasure or a gift from some great person, and in their eyes Freya is just the adopted daughter of a duke..."
Suddenly, Neil covered Olivia's mouth with his left hand. A confused Olivia was about to resist, but Neil made a silent gesture and slowly let go of his left hand, then pushed the grass in front of him a little, only a small slit leaked. Through the narrow gap, Olivia saw a large group of demonic beasts gathering in the open space in front of her, but it didn't take long for the group of demonic beasts to disperse, leaving only a few small demonic beasts in place, and the familiar young figure wearing a cat's ear hat was the missing Irene. "That's Irene!" Olivia seems to have found out. Neil then whispered a few words, and Olivia nodded in understanding. Neil held out his finger and silently said "three, two, one". "Boom" and Olivia rushed out quickly, destroying those weak demonic beasts neatly. Irene was left alone, with her back to Neil, stiffening. Olivia was excited and wanted to rush forward to bring Erin back, but Neil grabbed her by the placket and dragged her back, only to hear him say, "The smell is wrong, it's behind me." ”
As Neil looked around, he picked up the pebbles at his feet and threw them at Erin to test the situation. I saw that Erin didn't dodge the stones, and really took a blow. Neil then took out his knife and threw it at Erin again, this time Erin jumped away, but then turned her back to Neil's pestle and remained motionless. After a while, the petite body staggered and saw that it was about to fall, and Neil hurried forward to take Erin in his arms. He lowered his eyes and looked lovingly at Erin, who was curled up in his arms and shivering, and injected the suppressant given by Freya into her body. The lingering screeching sound in his head exploded again, and an incomparably sharp sound from Erin's mouth pierced into his skull, and her appearance in her arms changed. I saw Erin's jawbone bulging, fangs slowly sticking out from the corners of her mouth, ruddy fingertips stiffening into claws, and her whole body slowly and rapidly growing fine fluff, which had turned into a cat Deba. At this time, Erin instinctively broke free from Neil's arms while he was in pain, jumped to the distance to face Neil, spit out her little tongue, licked her fluffy fingers with saliva, and then stood up her hairs and screamed at Neil.
Neil shook his head, suppressing the shock of his spirit, and looked at Erin again, the light in his eyes fading. I saw him slowly draw his knife and walk towards Erin step by step. "Hmm... It's really tricky. ”
