Chapter 125 Despair Falls

"We'd better go back first."

Wendy abruptly turned her head in the direction of the base and stopped the conversation.

"Master, the students who went to the library are back, and their feelings are a little fluctuating."

Stephanie also reported to Natsu.

Xia glanced at the shattered demon head on the ground, and although there were countless questions in his heart that he wanted to ask, he finally held back.

"Let's go over and see, maybe a monster has attacked them."

Natsu flew in the direction of the base.

"Hehe, like you, she seems to care about the students."

Wendy looked in the direction Xia left and pressed her lips with her fingers:

"However, even if I don't do anything to these people, you will face a very difficult situation, because you have no idea of the terrible ...... of this island"

……

"Quick! There are monsters nearby! The mages have already hidden the place where they grow food with the Concealment Barrier, so it should be safe there, so let's go back quickly! ”

Returning to the entrance of the base, Xia saw that some students began to run towards this side one after another, and many people lowered their voices and shouted to their companions.

"Something happened."

Natsu fell from the sky and asked a cadet.

"There are monsters going in the direction of the plantation, but the target is not us; In order to avoid the food being discovered, everyone lured them away, and now everyone is retreating here. ”

The student replied breathlessly.

After a while, all the students had returned safely, and Xia Cai entered the base with peace of mind.

"What's wrong?"

I had just walked near the hall and ran into Lorraine.

"Your injuries healed?"

Xia saw that he was not on crutches and walked on his legs normally, and asked in surprise.

"It's not quite a full recovery, but it's different from Daro. After all, I'm just a few flesh wounds, and it's okay to fight with a sword. ”

As he spoke, he took out a big sword from behind his back and swung it twice, his movements were swift and smooth, and it seemed that his injuries had really recovered a lot.

"It's all right. I went in first. ”

Natsu didn't want to be alone with him, so she stepped forward, Lorraine put away her sword and followed her, and the two of them came to the hall together.

"Thank you, Miss Wolf God!"

A wounded man with a bandage on his head moved his head and said to Delia gratefully.

"Wolf God?"

Xia walked up to the two of them and asked strangely.

"Ahaha, it's just for them to have fun."

Delia turned a white ring with her fingers and said embarrassedly.

"This is the healing item you've used before."

Natsu recognized what she was holding in her hand.

"I was cured by her."

Lorraine said from the side. Words are full of gratitude.

Xia pulled Delia aside, and the two sat down in a corner where no one was around, and Lorraine stayed where she was, not following her.

"This little guy's strength is not too weak, he should be the strongest among these people, but it is still a little worse than you; The little girl in the wheelchair may be on par with him. ”

Delia looked at Lorraine standing in the hall and said to Xia.

It's a head worse than me!

Xia knew his strength, and he was secretly ashamed in his heart.

She is indeed a bug to the mage. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a legal nemesis, but it's much weaker to deal with the types like Delia and Lorraine who are good at physical attacks.

Especially now after majoring in the Magic Swordsman route. Her strength has taken a step back from what it used to be.

"Have you seen Wendy? It's the girl with two ponytails and blond hair. ”

Xia changed the subject and asked Delia.

"You said the vampire, I saw her go to that room."

Delia made a clear distinction between the two Wendys and pointed her in the right direction.

Natsu said goodbye to the werewolf princess and walked to the room. He knocked on the door panel, then opened the door and walked in.

"That's not polite."

Wendy sat at a table, her hands quickly flipping through the information in front of her, and she said without raising her head.

"Smack!"

After about half a minute, she placed the stack of papers next to the table. Stretched.

"Deal with it, take it."

She instructed a member of the student council next to her:

"Call me all the people on this list, and remember, don't leave a single one out."

The student council member took the documents with adoring eyes and closed the door.

"You ......"

Seeing her skillful way of working, and the normal color of her pupils, Xia was a little unsure of the other party's identity.

"These are very simple things, and it's nothing to help her."

Wendy said unconcernedly, got up from her chair, walked to the side, and took a small piece of octopus meat and put it in her mouth.

"The meat of the S-class demon, although the energy contained in it is a little worse, it can still be swallowed after processing, as for that kind of ordinary human food, it makes no sense to replenish it."

"Can I ask a few questions?"

Xia hesitated for a moment and asked her.

"Forget about me, but for the sake of your blood, I can still answer some of the other things."

Wendy eats elegantly, but very quickly, and in a few moments she eats what she has in her hand, picks up a cloth and wipes her fingers.

"About that ...... Aaron"

"Do you think the land where humans live is big?"

Before Natsu could finish her words, Wendy interrupted her with a "sure enough" expression.

"It must be quite big."

Natsu replied uncertainly.

She had read the introduction in the plot, and the area of this continent should be quite vast, but most of the places were not suitable for human survival.

"Do you know the name of this continent?"

Wendy continued.

"This ......"

Xia was speechless.

She is not a good student herself, and when she reads the manual, she only focuses on the plot, and she really doesn't care what the name of the continent is.

"I don't know."

Wendy actually looked a little satisfied:

"The continent has different names in different languages, and there are many names, but a long time ago, it had only one name. That's ...... Faenns. ”

"What?!"

Seeing Xia open her mouth wide, Wendy laughed out loud, leaning back and closing her smile:

"What, are you scared?"

She laughed for a long time and sat back in her chair.

"But...... ...... in that story"

Natsu felt that his mind was a little confused.

"What a story, I can sue you. At least half of the content in that so-called story is true. ”

Wendy snorted and crossed her legs in her chair:

"The strong people whose strength has reached a certain level actually know a little bit of the truth, but no one says it casually, because if they do so, they will be hunted down by the Church and the Empire, and they will not die."

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something funny again, and the upturned snow-white thigh moved up and down:

"That stupid guy Aaron was constantly assassinated because he leaked this matter, so he kept changing his face. Even the name has been changed. ”

"You and him...... Did you know each other before? ”

Xia cautiously spoke.

Wendy's leg stopped:

"Why are you asking this?"

Xia wrung his fingers a little shyly and whispered:

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if your relationship is very close......"

Wendy didn't think much of it, changed her legs, and replied:

"I can only say that I have seen it a few times...... Hey, are you jealous? ”

She looked at Xia with interest:

"Don't worry, I only pursued eternal life and power before, and I wasn't interested in men at all."

After a pause. She slowly leaned down on the table and whispered:

"But for now. I seem to be starting to get a little interested in this kind of thing......"

Her gaze on the table was a little foggy:

"Why is that?"

Xia just heard the previous sentence "I'm not interested in men", and breathed a sigh of relief, not hearing what she said later.

"I said imp."

Wendy suddenly leaned on the table and said sullenly:

"I can sue you about this, but don't go out and talk nonsense, or you and I might get into trouble, understand?"

Seeing Xia nodded. She closed her eyes.

"President, are you looking for us?"

At this moment the door was opened, and acquaintances began to come in one by one from the outside.

"Edith, Ebner, Lotye...... Why is everyone here? ”

Natsu saw the three of them. There was something strange in my heart.

"Sister Xia."

Agnes also entered the house in a wheelchair, and found that the Queen of Summer had happily come to her side.

It didn't take long for most of the people who had seen them at the academy's powerhouse meeting before to arrive here, and everyone greeted Xia one after another, or bowed down, looking very respectful.

Of course, Helrison is dead in the library, and everyone should never see the amorous prince again.

"Who else hasn't come?"

Wendy asked, as if she had just woken up from her desk, tiredly.

"Neither of the guards came, Natya Vida and Captain Helrisson."

A member of the student council whispered.

Wendy glanced at Xia and said quietly:

"It's okay, let's get started."

She got up from her chair, pressed her hands to the table, and said:

"We've been delaying for a long time because of the food, and now we're discussing the list of the advance team, ready to go!"

……

"Be careful, don't fall off."

Xia leaned down and grabbed the hand of a female student and dragged her to it.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The female student said with a red face.

"Attention to the people below, this section of the road is very narrow, everyone would rather walk slower than be in danger!"

She whispered to the bottom.

"Master, I've finally become the captain."

Stephanie said happily as she flew beside her.

"What a captain, it's hard to hear. (Author: Uncle Yamamoto, I'm sorry)"

Xia said dissatisfiedly.

At this time, a long procession was walking on the narrow passage, because it had penetrated deep into the interior of the mountain, this passage was more difficult to walk than in front of the Thousand Suzuka Cave, and there was no complete road surface at the back, and many places needed to climb to continue advancing.

"Is the magician's dwelling really in this kind of hellish place?"

Albert was not good at climbing mountains. The round body was dragged up by a warrior, sat on the ground and gasped, and said:

"That's why I hate those magicians the most......"

"Captain, there's a strange voice coming from the front, and it's getting louder."

A scouting wind mage flew in from the front and reported to her.

It should have been a little bit gone, and it seems that the speed of this team is not slow.

Xia thought in his heart.

"Got it. You take two people with you to see what's going on, and when you're in danger, remember to withdraw immediately. ”

She spoke to the wind mage.

"What sound?"

After a while, some of the team members with sharp ears also raised their heads and looked ahead.

"It's like the sound of water."

Agnes said as she flew beside Natsu.

This time, the route was very difficult to walk, so she didn't bring a wheelchair here.

"Captain, it's a waterfall!"

The three scouts returned, all with mist on their faces:

"What a big waterfall! Blocked all the way up there. ”

"Take a break when you get to the front, and watch your feet!"

Natsu conveyed the order to the team members behind him, then turned to Agnes and said, "Go." Let's go and see. ”

She and Agnes could fly, and together they came to the front, and there was a thunderous sound in their ears.

"It's ......"

Looking at the scene in front of her, Agnes showed a shocked expression.

I saw a huge Bai Lian descending from the sky, like a fierce beast that had suddenly been awakened, roaring and rushing downward, and countless splashes splashed in the waterhole below, making an amazing roar.

Xia knew that there was such a waterfall on the road. I still feel a little shocked to see this kind of power with my own eyes.

"I remember there was a word called overwhelming, which should be to describe this kind of scene." She thought to herself.

"What is this. Waterfall? ”

Abner had seen a waterfall before, but he had never seen such a huge stream of water like thunder, and he couldn't close his mouth when he saw it:

"It's obviously in the belly of the mountain, how can there be such a huge waterfall, it's really a hell."

"No, the road up there is blocked."

The wind mage flew down from above, drenched. Rubbing his face with his sleeve, he said:

"It's all around hard rocks, the space is too narrow, this waterfall is at least a thousand meters high, the current is very strong, I flew to about 50 meters and was knocked down."

"I'll go up and have a look."

Lorraine took off her coat and put it on the ground. The big sword behind him was also put aside, and he rushed into the rushing water.

After about a minute or so, a figure fell from above, and the wolf fell into the pool.

"I can't go up."

Lorraine climbed out of the water and spoke briefly.

"Do you want me to try it?"

Delia walked slowly from behind, looking up at the huge waterfall with a hint of interest in her eyes.

"Try it, if there is any danger or monster ahead, please clean it up in advance."

Natsu's heart moved.

Originally, there was no strong character like Di Liya in the plot, and it took a lot of twists and turns for everyone to get here; Although it is impossible for Delia to bring everyone to it, at least she can be a pioneer and clear the obstacles in the road behind.

"Woo-a-!"

Hearing Natsu's reply, Delia jumped into the water with a bang.

Then a blue shadow burst out of the pool, rushed upwards quickly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the shadow, Lorraine sighed and bent down to pick up her clothes.

If he's completely healthy now, maybe he can try to go up a few times, but it's still too reluctant.

He had only climbed less than 200 meters before falling down, and if this waterfall was really more than a thousand meters, the distance would not even be one-fifth.

"There seems to be writing on this stone."

A member of the mage team sat on the ground when he suddenly noticed a faint light on a rock beside him.

"Akadeskoyat...... This is an ancient language. ”

Agnes flew over, looked at the words on it and said:

"What does it mean...... Despair. ”

Hearing this word, everyone couldn't help but look up at the huge current pouring down in the air, and everyone's hearts were shrouded in a layer of haze. (To be continued......) R1292
