Chapter 425: Freedom to Escape
Cheese didn't answer the question quickly, and the tree and the shadow entrenched above it reappeared before his eyes. It was his first defeat in the confrontation with the evil gods, and he was lucky not to die thanks to the protection of the spirits and his destiny. This time, in front of him, entrenched in the depths of the sandbar, was the child of that being, who witnessed the process of its birth.
So this time, can he defeat that thing? The gray robe chuckled lightly when he thought of this, the experience of the previous defeat was a good thing for him, what is there to be afraid of, the more he has accumulated knowledge, he is more likely to defeat his opponent,
"There is a grasp of nature. It can't be said to be nine out of ten, and it's not much worse. β
Such firm words are exchanged for suspicion and suspicion. They're right, anyone who just sees that great shadow will have such emotions towards a man who has vowed to kill him.
Once again, the team is on the verge of falling apart, and it's one thing to get a reward for completing a mission, it's another thing to lose one's life for some reward. Especially if one of the other two groups has already failed.
"We should go back first and think long-term. You yourself said that what flew over came from the rush, they failed, not us. Now our enemies are multiplied by their involvement, which is not in line with the plan. This team is assembled according to the scale of a goal, and perhaps with the help of everyone present, we can do have a way to deal with such a monster. But two? We need more people, more equipment. β
The old man's words were not unreasonable, the caster was never a good hand at fighting large creatures, and those behemoths were often left to a well-equipped army of equipment. Because even a giant with a height of three meters can't withstand a crossbow shot in the head.
"No way. Ordinary people without magical talent will not be able to enter this mist, and even if they do, they will quickly be affected by the influence of this terroir and lose their ability to fight. You won't be surrounded by a team of helpers, they'll become maniacs who cut people at sight and shivering trash hiding in corners. I also have reason to believe that with the ability of the convener, he will not be able to recruit more spellcasters who can help him, given him more time. We were the most suitable and abundant candidates he could find. Besides, our target will fly, how do you know it's still here next time. Today, as long as we leave, it will be a hundred times harder to find them. β
The Grey Robe is not alarmist, and the cults of the cult may be less adept at concealing their abilities and patience, and those worshippers are often obsessed with offering their allegiance to their terrible gods, and are not interested in expanding their faith in the world or in gaining status and wealth in the name of religion.
But from another point of view, these guys have a much better attitude towards faith than those cults in the conventional sense of the word that amass wealth in the name of religion, although this does not in any way wash away their damage to the world.
As for the speculation about Jung's abilities, it is not groundless, the power of the river is large and efficient enough, giving him three days is not much different from giving him a week, and a longer recruitment period may indeed allow more spellcasters to join the action.
But I'm afraid that the people in front of him who can be relied on are still the people in front of him, and with the skills of the blood clan, he must have given priority to the most suitable talents into this team. If the people here were just a patchwork, Cheese would have to start wondering if the River Tavern was really as powerful as its owner said it was. And so far, he can confirm that the people around him are far from the rabble.
"Thisβ" The old man was told that Cheese could not come up with an argument to refute it, so he had to shut up. Was he scared? Everyone could see it. If they weren't, why was Cheese the only one to stand up and refute it?
Seeing such a scene, the gray robe shook his head slightly, this is not to blame them, in their opinion, the front is indeed a lifeless situation, even for himself is very dangerous. However, with this kind of morale, I am afraid that there will be a problem before reaching the heirs of the evil gods, and the casters are all very independent people, although they have a guarantee with Jung, but it is a matter of life and death, and it is difficult to say whether they will make any surprising moves.
"Well, I'll be left to deal with those two monsters. All you need to do is help get to where they are, and get rid of the cultists. When those two things show up, it's okay for you to leave first. β
This is tantamount to giving others permission to escape. For those who are likely to carry a magical contract on their backs, the Cheese Spoke, as the leader of the squad, will carry considerable weight both morally and magically.
What is more obvious is that the expressions of the twins quickly relaxed, and it is estimated that there are some conditions between the two of them and Jung, if the gray robe does not speak, they can only fight to the death.
The presence of such a member in the squad was something that Cheese had long anticipated, and although curiosity was a common problem among spellcasters, they did not blindly explore, and caution was also a virtue for spellcasters. He was well aware that allowing his players to retreat would likely leave him isolated at a critical moment, which could well be fatal.
However, the lesser of two evils, Cheese would rather do this than push these casters to the limit and make them a danger. He was already prepared to come alone, and it was already a surprise that someone shared these difficulties along the way.
Thinking of this, he looked at his newly recruited apprentice, and Yuni was also frightened by the shadow, and was looking at him with helpless eyes.
The pair of masters and apprentices did not communicate in words, and Cheese conveyed only one meaning to Yoni with his eyes, and decided for himself. In the gray-robed way of education, they were not taught to follow rationality from the beginning, to be on the same level as efficiency, and to be cautious and conservative.
All the characters that a gray robe has developed today are the products of his own experience and experience. In the beginning, Clark didn't force them to act in a certain direction.
Those who want to be brave need to be brave, and those who want to be cautious need to be cautious. And the brave is irritable, the angry is belligerent, and the belligerent folds early. Prudence is easy to prepare, and if it is continuous, it will be wasted. Tendencies and costs are on the scales.
Cheese was looking forward to what the kid who had been picked up from the mud would say. But before that, he had to make sure he made it to that point alive. The accuracy of crystal prophecies is never completely reliable, and the results of the prophecies become more subtle when interpreted by humans.
Many legendary heroes have been prophesied early, but they can't be deciphered after all, and only after the joy and sorrow happen to them do they realize that their actions have long been pulled by invisible threads. All in all, the three levels mentioned by the old man before and the help from the frog are not something that can be counted on too much.
The Lord of Fate is fickle, and his disciples are not to be gullible.
The turmoil caused by the chanting and shadows calmed down for the time being, and the cheese group seemed to calm down and continued to move towards the interior of the sandbar. As they progressed, they became more and more convinced that the sandbar did not exist naturally, for they had never heard of such a large and unexplored piece of land in the waters near the rushing water, which would otherwise have been used as a transit point for goods so close to the city.
Since it's not a real sandbar, size doesn't matter, and the Grey Lion's Witch can turn the interior of an ordinary-looking house into a space no less than a castle, as is not uncommon in all schools of magic.
"This is a bit outrageous. Even if it's a fantasy created by magic, it's a bit outrageous. Luo Luo frowned, looking at the scene in front of him and muttered. The others stood in a row with her, all nodding slightly in agreement.
Because in front of them, on this sandbar that should be located in the middle of the river, there was a rocky, undulating mountain!
