Chapter 375: A Strange Spell
Akasha looked worse than during the day, and Roddy asked with some uncertainty, "Can't sleep?" ”
Such questions are often ambiguous, but Roddy obviously has no ambiguous thoughts at this time - Akasha's feelings are not quite right during the day in the ruins, and at night, the little priest who once nearly lost his life in the ruins is afraid that the psychological pressure will be even greater.
"Hmm... I-I-" Akasha replied with her head bowed, "Can I sleep next to your tent?" Such... Peace of mind. ”
This request surprised Roddy, who wanted to refuse, but swallowed back when the words came to his lips. Rubbing his eyebrows, Roddy then asked, "Scared?" ”
Akasha nodded in confusion, her grip on the bed tighter.
"Why not find someone else? Didn't you ask Nata? ”
This question made Akasha bite her lip, she whispered something, but it was completely lip language, even if Roddy turned on the "environmental acumen", he couldn't hear it, he frowned: "... What did you say? ”
"I... I just want to be on your side..."
Akasha's voice was like a mosquito, and her cheeks turned red in the embers of the campfire, "Because you're not like them..."
Roddy thought about it, from knowing Akasha to saving her life twice in a row, every time she woke up in danger, the first thing she saw was herself, maybe this made her feel some kind of dependence, right?
Luo Di knew very well that the little priest in front of her was by no means a "princess disease" patient: she was afraid of heights, afraid of the dark, and even had difficulty sleeping at night in the forest, these psychological pressures that ordinary people did not have were caused by her past experience, and from the perspective of modern people, Luo Di would not find these psychological defects ridiculous.
Opposite... He understands well.
So Luo Di sighed: "You can sleep directly in the tent, I'll be outside." ”
"But—"
"There's nothing but, go to sleep, it's an order."
Akasha choked on Roddy's words, struggled inwardly a few times, and finally relented, holding her bed into Roddy's tent.
When psychological stress is approaching a tipping point, people tend to do things that they would not normally do - and when Akasha lies on the uncomfortable bed and feels all the depression around her dissipate, her body and brain, which have been tense, finally calm down...
Then, Akasha finally realized what she had just done.
Anyone who does things impulsively regrets it later—Akasha was no exception, she almost instantly felt like she was going to burn with shame...
The fool's head panicked, and he couldn't control anything, how could he open his mouth to make such a request to Roddy?
What would he think? Do you think I'm seducing him?
Akasha was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into: as a "follower", it was too much to say that she had driven her "master" out of the tent
And what do others think when they see it?
"Rowe, Rody... Slept? ”
After much hesitation, she sat up and tentatively spoke out of the tent.
"Say."
"My head was a little messy, so I didn't mean to..."
It's so stupid, can't I find a better excuse?
Akasha complained weakly about herself, but after a long time, she didn't hear Roddy's response.
Her heart rose to her throat, for fear that Roddy would scold her next—but then Roddy's slightly calm answer came from outside the tent:
"If it was me in the past, maybe when you said the first sentence, I would think that you did it too much, unreasonable, and even ill-intentioned..."
"But now, it won't be like that."
Roddy sighed, "I'm sure you're really scared, and I'm sure you don't have any other purpose than to calm your heart, right?"
Akasha sat in the tent in a daze, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
"I'm sure you're not kidding, so... Rest well. ”
“… Well. ”
Akasha's response was a little choked, and for a moment, she wanted to say a lot, but in the end she just whispered "thank you" with red eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.
Mutual understanding and tolerance.
Outside the tent, Roddy rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and could only sigh in his heart for this sentence...
Now that you understand this truth, what's the use?
June 1.
Early in the morning, in the eastern part of the Silent Forest.
Inside the ruins of the High Elves, the ruins, which had been quiet for more than 700 years, suddenly resounded with a rumbling sound - outside the ruins, dozens of "steel-backed wild boars" with small bodies like small mountains smashed into the small trees in front of them, and rushed straight towards the intruders who entered their territory.
The wild boar may sound like a "pig", but in the forest, it is far more dangerous than most other beasts... The defense of the steel-backed wild boar is comparable to plate armor, even if it is cut by an axe in the front, it is difficult to be injured, and the wild boar in the cluster is even more dangerous.
This kind of sound is far more terrifying than the wolves, but just as they were about to approach the intruders in front of them, the dazzling blue light suddenly flashed, and the subsequent explosion sounded even more startled countless birds...
"Boom"
The wild boar at the front flew up in midair, its entire body reduced to countless pieces of flesh and blood. The diffuse shock wave completely blew away the entire wild boar herd, and their sturdy ** could not withstand this shock at all, and most of the wild boars were instantly shattered and their internal organs were shattered, and their mouths and noses bleed to death...
The boars, who had fallen to the ground and tried to get up, had not taken a few steps before they were directly knocked down by the light that followed—the violent movement lasted less than half a minute, and the battle was completely "over" before it had even "begun".
The "Sacred Order" team slowly stepped into the ruins, and the four Arcanists cleared the fragments of the boar carcass to the side, then made way for Lucius, who was standing behind. The silver-haired Holy Elder slowly walked through the blood-soaked ruins, and after his footsteps stopped, he raised his scepter:
"Dragon Tracking."
This skill, which is designed to lock the dragon's breath, is far beyond the reach of ordinary arcanists, and only Lucius, as an elder, is qualified to learn such a tracking technique from the core level of the Holy Order.
At this time, as he cast his spell, the element of rhythm faintly appeared in the air, and finally condensed an arrow with intricate patterns on the ground beneath his feet...
"The location is confirmed."
Lucius breathed a sigh of relief: "The guy we're going to face is nearby... It's—"
Before he finished speaking, the pattern condensed by Lucius's current tracking technique suddenly became disordered, and the originally clear direction gradually disappeared, and before it dissipated, Lucius now seemed to faintly twist a little in the other direction...
Unheard of, Lucius immediately cast "Dragon Tracking" again, but this time there was no vision - the pattern on the ground remained clear and steady until it disappeared.
Lucius had no way of knowing why this was the case, and although he was a high-level arcanist, the level of the skill "Dragon Tracking" was really at the highest level of the current "Sacred Order" research on "arcane", and as a result, Lucius was completely "aware of it and didn't know why" about it - he would release it, but he didn't know how it worked, so he didn't know what such a situation meant at this time.
However, in order to ensure the correctness of the skill, he still released the "Dragon Pursuit" seven times in a row, and the results of these skills were the same as the second cast, so he finally stopped doubting the correct direction of the advance, and ordered: "Keep going, get ready for battle"
Time continued to pass, and by the time of June 10th, the team that had never gained more in the forest finally made Roddy feel the pressure like never before
There are just over a month and a few days left before Camilla's countdown, but Roddy has only found ninety-three hedrons so far - in addition to the first ruins planned, the second and third ruins that he has arrived at later... None of the crystals were found.
In other words, the remaining two hundred or so charged crystals can only be relied on in the last two ruins.
At this time, the team was close to the penultimate goal of the plan, but in Roddy's mind, he still remembered the "tragic" scenes in the previous two ruins: Camilla had said that the high elves would use the hedron explosion to kill the enemy, and two days earlier, Roddy had indeed learned the true power of the hedron explosion
In the ruins that the team found, a stone building had almost disappeared, the fragments were radiating from the inside out, and many of the stones had even turned into glass-like crystals due to the high temperature, all of which reminded Roddy of the "nuclear bomb test explosion".
The oppression of the time limit made Roddy's heart more and more impatient, and his face became worse and worse, so that Akasha, who was always behind him, secretly blamed himself for disturbing Roddy's sleep.
"The combat team is moving forward, and the engineer team is ready to respond."
It's not that Luo Di didn't sleep well, he just felt that his team's progress was still too slow, so at this time, Yu Crisp let the main combat team directly separate from the rear - his heart was a little nervous at this time, this was like a gamble, and what Luo Di hated the most was to hand over his fate to the "unknown".
However, after a few minutes, Roddy finally confirmed that he was lucky: as soon as the team entered the ruins, the soldiers in front of him received the good news: there were a large number of hedrons in the basement of the center
"Confirm quantity now"
Roddy's heart beat a little faster, he glanced back at Nokia, which had been following the team not far away, waved his hand to signal it to follow him into the ruins, and then said to Sodlore, who picked up a shield not far away: "Pay attention to the building structure when entering, be careful of landslides"
"Understood"
Sodrol knew that Roddy was in a hurry and had no nonsense, so he turned his head and shouted to the team behind him: "Team 1 and 2 will go forward with me, fan search, and the scout team will light the torches."
He led the team from the north of the ruins into the underground area, and Roddy did not follow in the first place, but out of caution, carefully searched around the ruins for the same items left here.
[The first update, the second update began to write, and it is estimated that it will be more in the early morning. 】
