Chapter Seventy-Five: The White Mask Mage
"Haven't you reached them yet, Aiwen?"
Houses are burning around the autumn dust, the scorching air is mixed with the smell of burning, houses, trees, street lamps, anything that can be burned will be found by the flames, the air in the fire is over 60 degrees Celsius, and there are not many living creatures still moving here. The streets are littered with charred objects, both the remains of houses and charred corpses, and nothing can be done about the latter
Not only is there no trace of ordinary people's activities in this area, but even the reincarnators seem to have given up the idea of continuing to search here, and it is difficult for many low-level reincarnators, and even intermediate-level people to endure such high temperatures, and it is not worth putting their lives into it for money or treasures that do not necessarily exist
Estes has placed a large ice wall in the lower city to stop the fire from spreading in the city, and although some parts of the city cannot be saved, it can protect most of the area. All residents who escaped the fire were evacuated to the inner city or sent out of the imperial capital via the Grand Canal. The fire was terrifying, but the number of civilian casualties was much smaller than expected
[Not yet, the space outside the city is in chaos, I can't find them] Ai Wen sounded very irritated [Nothing! Nothing can be seen, nothing can be heard! As long as I focus on the outside of the city, my head is full of buzzing]
"Don't be reckless, they may have found a way to interfere with you" As expected, there is no progress on Ai Wen's side, Qiu Chen can only rely on his own memory to touch the outside of the city, and he can't contact the conqueror king now, for the situation outside the city, Qiu Chen's eyes darkened, "Don't worry, satellite phones sometimes have problems"
[Hmph! I'm much more high-end than those mechanical products.]
"Yes, yes, my Ai Wen is definitely more high-end than those who use the unlucky satellite phone" Qiuchen laughed, "I remember that a person picked up the satellite phone for only five minutes, and was targeted by someone to launch a missile, saying that you will not be located by the people of the main god space, and I don't want to experience the feeling of being targeted and eliminated"
[Impossible, even a main god can't find the location of the target without the other party noticing] Ai Wen's tone was very certain
"What if they really found a way," Qiuchen asked rhetorically, "It didn't work thousands of years ago, it didn't work hundreds of years ago, it didn't work decades ago, maybe they made this thing yesterday."
[You overestimate them]
"Maybe ......" Qiuchen shrugged, the ice covered by his body was a little thicker, the high temperature was like a film covering his skin, which was very uncomfortable, and the skin of the Heroic Spirit was not reinforced and iron, and if the temperature was too high, it would still be burned, "You underestimate the people in the main god space too much...... Don't be angry, don't be angry, I know, the country hates the family, but seriously, we can't always look down on each other, sometimes some cooperation is necessary......"
【…… Here it is again] In the past, Qiu Chen complained about Ai Wen's verbosity, but this time he turned it over, and Ai Wen directly interrupted him before he heard Qiu Chen finish speaking [I know you have a few reincarnation friends, or a few very beautiful friends, don't worry, no one knows except me, and I'm not interested in talking nonsense everywhere, I just see when you have so many beautiful friends that you can't hide]
"How is it possible" Qiuchen sighed, "I don't know many friends, you know, and why do we quarrel because of this kind of thing"
[It makes me feel very uncomfortable to see your behavior...... Forget it, don't talk about it, what are your plans when the matter here is resolved]
"Plans? Is it okay to go back to your hometown and get married? Qiuchen said casually, raised his head, the city wall not far away came into his eyes, about ten minutes away, he could walk outside the city, I just hope that there are not many revolutionaries there, otherwise it is inevitable to deal with the reincarnation and the revolutionaries, Qiuchen does not want to cause trouble
After a while, Ai Wen didn't reply, and Qiu Chen asked in a strange whisper, "What's wrong Ai Wen?" Ai Wen? ”
【…… It's nothing, I'm going to contact Valhalla]
"That's it" Qiu Chen didn't care about what was wrong in Ai Wen's tone, during this time, Ai Wen was mysterious, and she didn't want to tell him anything, but since Ai Wen didn't want to say it, Qiu Chen wouldn't ask too much
When Ai Wen's voice disappeared from Qiu Chen's mind, Qiu Chen noticed that there was a faint cry for help from the crackling sound of the flames, not far from his position, but it was very inconspicuous because of all kinds of noises
Is there anyone else here?!
Qiu Chen walked in the direction where the voice came from, saving a person in the fire was just a gesture for him, but if he didn't save him when he saw death, it would be difficult for Qiu Chen not to be distracted in the next battle against the reincarnation, just like the lesson he got from Emiya Kiritsugu - you can't save the people in front of you, what else to talk about saving others-
Everything is the fault of the hour-
Aveline felt that today was her worst day
Originally, I thought that this first-class event was like that, first, she didn't ask for the final task reward, second, she didn't want a high task reward, and third, she didn't fight for exchange points, anyway, as long as she survived after the end of the first-class world, she could get the reward. As long as you mix up a guarantee, and then find a chance to see if you can pick up any good things, some miscellaneous reward points are mixed together, and in the end, many high-level reincarnators will find that Aveline, who has been seeing the dragon all day long, gets no less exchange points than them
Sometimes Aveline will also take on some hired jobs, after all, it is impossible to pick up a hundred levels just by picking up garbage, and the main god space is not playing a stand-alone game, sometimes she has to cooperate with other reincarnators to survive, such as advancing to the world, and those who want to single-handedly fight the past have died in the promotion, Aveline is not stupid, she will not do it if she kills herself
Then she received a hiring order today to help retrieve a prop left in the imperial capital city due to unexpected reasons. The exchange point rewards given by the other party are very reliable and meet the price of simple level delegation tasks. If the other party gives too much reward, she will never accept it, pie will not fall from the sky, and what will fall will either be a discus that will kill you or a bait stuffed with poison
So she took it, and she fell into the trap
Who would have thought that there was a flame trap in the fire, and the other party was obviously coming for her, a well-protected leather coat turned directly into ashes, although she escaped the bad luck of being crushed by the burning beams and turned into barbecue, and the price was that both of her legs were severely burned, for a reincarnation known for her agility, the leg injury was simply fatal
Aveline covered her mouth and coughed a few times, the poisonous smoke was surrounding her, and there were definitely enemies in ambush outside, and rushing out without the ability to move was just self-defeating
"Why are you so skilled! How many assassinations have these guys carried out! Aveline pulled the only shirt she had on her upper body down to breathe easier. In the past, she would definitely be vigilant when accepting commissions, after all, there are many people who have offended, and there are not a few people who want to kill people from lone wanderers. But now that it wasn't long before the end of the activity world, her vigilance was rarely relaxed, and she encountered this incident
For the first time, I was able to successfully solve an event world, and there were a considerable number of reward points to be obtained, and the two happy things were combined, and the happiness I got should have been like a dream, but why did it become like this...... Thinking of this, Aveline missed a poem, how can it be that the life and death of the country are profitable......
Phew! What the heck! Could it be that the poisonous smoke made it unclear, Aveline took a sip and climbed as far as she could towards the second floor of the house. Maybe you can find a place like the attic and escape from the other person's blind spot
"Hey! Is there anyone in there! Suddenly, the sound from outside the fire attracted Aveline's attention, it sounded familiar, but some dizzy heads couldn't hear it exactly, so that Aveline couldn't remember where she had heard it for a while, "If someone hears it, respond to it, I can save you!" ”
Hearing this, Aveline subconsciously responded
Then she went from one doom to another
