Chapter 38: Cooperation (I)
July 1733 in the solar calendar The town of Kulo
Rhodes and Kumar, who remained on the ground, were at first looking at Lott in the sky, but soon the staff of the Adventurer's Guild began to appear around them.
The men shouted loudly for the people in the house to come out, and seeing this, Rhodes knew that it was not very peaceful around him, so he closed his eyes and concentrated on maintaining the holy word. Fortunately, Kumar released his magic beforehand to block out the sound, and he hid the figures of the two of them so that they were not directly disturbed.
At first, the staff shouted loudly and used magic amplification to inform the people in the houses about the current situation in the town, so that they could take refuge in the adventurer's guild. During the shouting process, some people soon took the initiative to come out, and the staff would quickly guide these people to the guild when they saw them appear, and if there was no movement, a few professional people would directly break the door and rush in to pull them out.
These poor people are taken care of by the Adventurer's Guild on weekdays, so most of them are very cooperative after learning about the current situation, and the family doesn't have much money anyway, so many people come out empty-handed.
Most of those who hesitated were taking the family's soft money, but they were soon forcibly taken out by the staff by breaking open the door. Although they will cry about this, but in the face of these fierce-looking people, this group of poor people who are accustomed to obeying orders will be obedient and obedient in the end, and if they want to make trouble, they will eat their fists without accident, and they will naturally stop making trouble if they are beaten.
Of course, there are some people who forcibly do not leave, even if they are beaten, and the staff are not persistent, they don't have time to waste time here.
It's a small town, but the number of staff members is limited, and even with the help of the church and the idle freelancers, it's still hard to get everyone back before the barrier collapses, so they can only do their best.
Speaking of which, in fact, the staff of the Adventurer's Guild are also considered free people, and the mages belong to the wandering mage family. They don't owe allegiance to any professional guild, they don't belong to kingdoms, they belong only to the adventurer's guild, no different from those who are freelance adventurers. It's just that most people ignore this situation, thinking that they should do it since they are under Modryla's orders, and even pay with their lives.
Of course, that's what they usually do. However, the reason why these people who do not belong to any organization and only obey the orders of the puppets are willing to come forward at this critical juncture is because the puppets have promised that she will never deliberately sacrifice them, and the staff of the Adventurer's Guild will be her top priority to protect, unless the town is finally destroyed and everyone dies together, the puppets will definitely ensure their safety, at least the last to die.
Because of this, these workers dare to fight desperately in the face of such a disaster. The same was true of the coachmen before Rhodes came, and even if a guild member was killed, these coachmen would be protected by the teleportation technique planted by the puppet in advance and moved to a safe place. The puppet has always kept its promise, and has never broken its word, at least no one has found out.
Kumar watched the people around him appear, and then was guided away in an orderly manner, and breathed a sigh of relief, they would not come again when this place was over, and it would be impossible for him and Rod to be disturbed again. The escort work can be said to be completed, as long as the dragon's breath does not really rain down from the sky.
Although there was a big commotion, the speed of the staff was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, the surrounding houses were all empty, and it could not be said that there was no one inside, at least those who were willing to leave left. After the staff looked around for the last time to make sure nothing was missed, they turned around and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, one of them looked to Kumar's side.
His glance made the young mage shudder, was his stealth magic really too clumsy? It was so easy to be discovered, although he wasn't doing something unseemly, but it was always troublesome to be discovered.
Kumar was right
The young magician watched the man get closer and closer, and she thought about it, rather than being noticed, it would be better to take the initiative herself. She was a wind mage, so she shook her staff, and a small whirlwind appeared and flew towards the man's feet, "Go away!" Kumar warned in a low voice.
The man was startled by the sudden cyclone in front of him, and at the same time heard Kuma's warning voice, "Who are you!" Seeing this, instead of leaving, he took the initiative to run over, and pulled out a dagger from his waist, sprinkled with magic powder, and a flame burned on the dagger, "If you are innocent, please take the initiative to show up, if you are..."
"Get out!" Wondering if this person was sick in the brain, Kumar roared, this time it was so loud that she was so frightened that she hurriedly turned her head to look at Rod.
The boy's brow furrowed, as if he had been affected.
"Hah!" At this moment, the person behind him took the initiative to rush over, and the dagger of flame tore through the camouflage of invisibility magic, and at the same time, it also tore through the silence magic.
A loud clatter of chirping and the sound of flames pouring in, "Who are you? Could it be Ma—" The man questioned Kumar sharply, but before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind knocked him back.
"Stay away from us, ask Modryla if you have any questions!" Kumar didn't want to talk nonsense, and the magic was re-unleashed by her. But just before the magic was about to take shape, a loud noise appeared in the sky, and the dragon's body smashed against the barrier, startling everyone.
No matter how perfect the magic was cast, Kumar turned to look at the boy, who was trembling all over his body, and it looked like something was wrong.
Outside the barrier, Modryra's communication rune also appeared, and she ordered the officer to leave immediately, knowing that he seemed to be in trouble, the man's face was also pale, and he rushed out of there.
However, now this is no longer a problem of the person not leaving, Rod's spirit was greatly shaken by the fright just now, he himself is trying to calm himself down with all his strength, but the process is not smooth, people's attention is limited, it is very difficult to forcibly concentrate, disturbed like this, the Holy Word is about to collapse, Lott lost his wings but will fall directly from the sky...
"You..."Kumar is also anxious now, no matter what the reason, as a guard, it is her responsibility not to protect Rod well, and now everything is going to be over" I can only try this trick!"
As soon as this action appeared, Rhodes's symptoms, which were originally trembling all over his body, were suddenly alleviated a little. But Kumar, on the other hand, began to tremble.
"Can you hear me?" Kumar tried to communicate with Rhodes now.
"What did you do?" Rhodes felt as if his attention was being clenched by a force, not his own willpower, but some external force.
"Magic, this magic was unleashed on me by my mentor when I was first learning magic, and it can help you focus by sharing the pressure. Kumar explained, "This is my first release, and there is no guarantee of strength and stability, so if there are any sequelae on your spirit, please ask me to be responsible, and now I need your cooperation." The girl was trembling all over at this time, unlike Rod, she was purely responsible for sharing, so this was the mental pressure that arose for no reason, and she was even more uncomfortable than Rod.
"Cooperation, I'll do my best to concentrate. However, this is just lip service, although Rod's trembling has slowed down, but at this time he still can't pull the momentum back, his spirit is now like a man with a broken leg, even if he is helped by someone, he still can't stand up when he lets go.
"Hmm," Kumar felt mentally ached, and his hands were still sore, "kneeling. She said as she pressed Rhodes down, and the boy cooperated with his knees
At this time, Rod's head was facing Kuma's chest, and the holy sword he was holding was hanging down to his side so as not to hurt Kumar "Think of something that can concentrate... For example..."Kumar began to seep cold sweat on his head, "Some happy things in the past, when I was a child...", forcibly turning his brain while concentrating, Kumar was a little gibberish.
This obviously won't end well, and hearing her say that Rod is even more shaken.
"No, no, no, no, not as a child, and not ... That one... Lott... No..."Kumar said and she felt a little overwhelmed, after all, she was a mage, and her physical fitness was much worse than that of the teenager, so she pressed Rhodes's head hard, and used her strength as a crutch to support herself. Now that her brain is starting to work, the girl looks around and hopes to find a reason to make Rhodes concentrate, "Sword!" Finally, the young mage saw Eskar beside Rhodes, and she read it out, "Swords, practicing swords, swordsmanship, don't you say anything....whatever, you imagine that you are practicing swordsmanship, that realm, that feeling, imagine!"
This time Kumar's words seemed to have a role, and when he thought of his family's swordsmanship, and thought of the repeated swing of the sword every morning, Rod's spirit began to stabilize, and this matter could only be done with full attention, and he imagined it as a basis, and the tremor on the boy's body gradually subsided, and the expression of pain disappeared.
Rod stabilized, Kumar was relieved, and as a sharer, she was much less stressed. But she didn't dare to worry about the boy now, and she decided to continue to operate the magic, but to reduce the intensity and maintain a safe state. The crisis just now soaked the girl's robe with cold sweat, and the two felt uncomfortable getting too close, and the girl took a step back without letting go of her hand, and now she had the strength to stand again.
"Thank you just now. As soon as Rod stabilized, he thanked the girl.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to say anything about you being saved by magic. Kumar smiled.
"Then I have to thank you. Rod smiled too.
Now that Rod's mental pressure has stabilized, and it is shared by the two of them, there is no problem for the time being.
Kumar looked up at the sky again, he had just lost his judgment of time because of his mental concentration, and he didn't know how much time had passed.
And as soon as he looked up, the young mage's smile froze, there was no more enchantment in the sky, more than ten minutes had passed, but there were still many dragons alive. However, the town of Kulo was not destroyed. At this time, the dragons of the sky were fighting some kind of being, and their dragon breath was flying in the air, and it seemed that it could not be finished for a while.
"Maybe we still have hope. Kumar leaned over and whispered in Rod's ear.
"There's no hope, why are we doing this now?" Rod tilted his face slightly and leaned against Kumar's wrist, "offended. The boy suddenly frowned and began to grit his teeth.
"What's wrong?" Rod's sudden move was a little offensive, but Kumar wasn't thinking about this now, Rhodes wasn't the kind of person who didn't know what was serious, something must be wrong, Kumar immediately looked left and right at his body, "Blood?"
"It must have been too long since the muscles were tensed, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. The young man soothed the panicked Kuma: "As long as Miss, your hand lends me for a while, nothing will happen." The boy's second sentence was said through gritted teeth, and the pain in his left wrist was far more intense than he had shown.
"Of course. Looking at Rod's face, Kumar suddenly felt something different in her heart, and she leaned over and kissed the young man's forehead with her lips "Soon everything will pass, and you will be safe." The girl's tone became extremely gentle, and her kiss left a faint mark.
