CHAPTER XXIV
Rorschach followed Cornelia, vigilantly navigating through the mist.
Soon, the two saw figures fighting.
Cornelia was about to rush over with a knife in her hand, but was stopped by Rorschach.
"Wait, don't worry."
Cornelia gave Rorschach a puzzled look, then at the two who were fighting the monster.
"Don't look at me with a look of why, don't you see that kid has a ghost in his heart?" Rorschach whispered.
"Ghosts?" Cornelia was not stupid, and under Rorschach's reminder, she soon discovered the man's abnormality.
The pace is orderly, the breathing is steady, and the movements are clean, and it is clear that all the movements of this monster have not been beyond the scope of his response, so ...... He's at ease.
If he was at ease, why did he let the woman parry almost desperately?
The answer is obvious......
Either he wanted her dead, or, he wanted her to hurt.
Rorschach thought that the situation in front of him was clear enough, but what he didn't expect was that Cornelia rushed out.
"Whew-"
A flash of sword flashed, and he instantly joined the battlefield.
When Cornelia joined, the last remaining monster fell behind in an instant.
Rorschach sighed helplessly, this woman is really good.
He could understand Cornelia's thoughts, and if he had waited a little longer, the woman who had dealt with the monster with the man might have been hurt even more.
"We're here to help you!"
Now that she has gone to be a good person, of course Rorschach can't continue to hide.
He snapped a branch and rushed over.
Elsa and Lim had different expressions when they heard the voice of another person.
But Elsa was pleasantly surprised, but she was a little puzzled, this man's voice ...... Sound familiar?
As he made his way through the fog, from being a figure to revealing his face, Elsa finally recognized him.
"Mr. Rorschach?"
"Ink girl? Oh no...... Miss Elsa? Rorschach was also surprised.
The female figure who was cheated turned out to be Elsa?
He glanced at Lim meaningfully.
"Poofโ"
Before she could continue the conversation, Cornelia had already stabbed the monster in the back with a backhand.
The spine was damaged, and it fell directly to the ground, convulsing all over.
Cornelia sheathed it and looked at Rorschach and Elsa.
Elsa wiped the blood from her mouth and looked much more relaxed: "Mr. Rorschach, why are you here?" โ
"It's a long story, go back to my hometown to visit my family," Rorschach sat down, then turned his head to look at Limu, "who is this?" โ
"Lim Paist." Lim looked at Rorschach and held out his hand.
Paist?
Everyone's eyes fell on Limu.
Elsa also heard Limu's full name for the first time, and her eyes widened: "You...... Are you the royal family of the Heka Kingdom? โ
Heka Kingdom......
Some of the previous memories flashed through Rorschach's mind.
One of the four kingdoms in the south, it has the smallest land area in the south, and is a southern island country far from the mainland, but it has the strongest military power, and every weapon system innovation takes place in the Heka Kingdom.
"No," Lim shook his head, "it's just a coincidence, I'm from Duran, and my ancestors have been in the kingdom of Lil for generations. โ
"Well, I'll take it as a coincidence...... Rorschach muttered in a voice he could just hear, then reached out and shook Limu's hand, "Rorschach Morrison, nothing but handsome, don't care about me." โ
Lim may have met someone like Rorschach for the first time, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
So, he chose not to answer.
He crouched down and groped around the monster.
Seeing his movements, Rorschach also touched it curiously.
This time, he first called out the book in his mind with his consciousness, and then ...... The text appeared.
"Serpent Demon, Token, Guardian."
That's a lot of information......
While Rorschach and Lim touched the corpse, Cornelia and Elsa exchanged names with each other.
"So you're Conelia-sama!" Elsa looked excited.
Cornelia was puzzled, and even glanced at Rorschach, whose expression was clearly asking: Am I famous?
At this time, Rorschach reflected from the memory of "Rorschach" the meaning of the words Cornelia.
Every Holy Maiden of the Order Church is called by this name, which means...... People who bring hope.
Luckily, Lim's discovery interrupted Elsa's excitement.
From the last dead monster, he felt something like cloth and skin.
"What is this?"
The three of them looked at the object in Limu's hand.
"Map." Lim uttered a surprising word.
"I wonder how they can find their way through such deep fog?" As he spoke, Lim spread out the map in his hand.
"Their eyes are a lot like snake pupils, but they are not decorations, and during the battle, I noticed that their vision is constantly changing, they are different from snakes, they see with their eyes."
Rorschach stared at him, silent, but his heart tightened.
"However, in this fog, even a map wouldn't do much, would it?" Elsa asked.
Lim handed her the map in his hand, "Take it and try it." โ
Elsa took the map suspiciously, and suddenly, her eyes lit up!
All the yellow mist is gone! The forest was crystal clear to her!
"They never act alone, at least in groups of two, so one of them must have something on it that can discern the direction."
Limu said in a deep voice.
Rorschach and Cornelia took the so-called map in turn and felt it, which was indeed very magical, but unfortunately, Rorschach's strange illustrated book that had been hidden in his mind did not react.
"There are many roads, which one can get out ......"
Elsa looked at the map of the ravines in her hand, glanced at the complex forest, and whispered.
Then, she looked at Limu: "Mr. Limu, you haven't answered me yet, how can you go back and save everyone." โ
This time, Lim was not silent, he said calmly: "They have no value to be saved, and if they forcibly save them, they will put themselves in it." โ
"You should know how many monsters are hiding around that warehouse."
Hearing this, Rorschach glanced at Elsa, "Your brother?" โ
Elsa nodded, feeling downcast.
She didn't have the heart to blame Limu, because she couldn't go back to the rescue.
At this point, Rorschach picked up the map, pointed to a place in the map, and asked, "Is this the text?" โ
The three of them looked at where he was pointing, and there was indeed a strange mark, with an unfamiliar line underneath.
"It's not Ekassven, it's ...... What words ......"
Lim and Elsa were also confused.
"Temple."
Cornelia spoke suddenly.
"Temple? Do you know the word? Rorschach looked at her.
"Venonaugen, an ancient pictorial script." Cornelia explained simply.
"You ...... What do you think? โ
Rorschach glanced at the other three.
"There's probably the source of the mutation, and I agree to go." Limu turned out to be the first to respond to him.
"Go." Cornelia didn't have any extra words.
"Go!" Only by solving the problem at the source can they save them in the warehouse, as well as the others in the forest, but Elsa hesitated, "But...... These roads are too complicated, how do you go ......"
"Isn't that easy? I'll lead the way! Rorschach slipped the map into his pocket.
