Chapter 20: Laura's Choice
Draxel smiled and nodded: "Yes, she is the real descendant of Himiko, I claim that the oracle is lying to them, but I do have some kind of supernatural power, I can distinguish the descendant of Himiko!" They're looking for Laura, and if you stay here, you'll be burned alive at the fire festival! ”
"Why are you telling me this? If you're a good person, go straight to protect Laura! Samantha was still skeptical, and her first impression made her never trust the drasser.
Draxel shook his head: "I can't show up rashly now, because the real messenger of the Sun Queen is right next to that girl!" He's luring the girl to Himiko to complete the sacrifice and make Himiko reborn! ”
These things are a little too fantastical, Samantha frowned and looked at Drasher, the veteran dragon scale captain smiled, took out the communicator she had been stolen by Solarry, and gave her a pistol full of magazines: "I know you still have doubts about me, but I want you to remember my words and verify the truth with your own eyes, now you go." ”
Samantha couldn't believe it, did this guy really let himself go? She looked at the ancient city gate not far away: "There are still guards guarding the gate, how can I leave?" ”
"I'll leave this to me!" Drasser said, then took a leaf from his bosom and placed it on Samantha's head: "Just hold it down and swagger over it!" ”
Samantha took the leaves and looked at Draser with an idiot's eyes, "You're crazy, how is this thing ......" Halfway through the sentence, she opened her mouth in surprise, and Drassell somehow found a small mirror facing her, but she couldn't see half a figure in the mirror.
Samantha stretched out her hand and put it in front of her, but her vision was still empty, looking down at her body and legs, there was still nothing...... "Am I invisible?" Samantha was surprised.
Draxel nodded and smiled, "Hurry up, this thing only lasts five minutes!" ”
Samantha didn't care about anything else, and ran towards the door with the leaves on her back, and the two guards didn't notice her, just some strange dust raised on the ground. Looking at Samantha's departure from a distance, D'Arena's originally sunny and kind expression became gloomy again, sneered, and turned to walk towards the city.
Samantha ran wildly until she escaped the confines of Solari's headquarters, where she found a place to hide, and the blade's effect had just failed.
Samantha gasped, until now, she still felt that the situation just now was very fantastic, what kind of curse, inheritance, are all legends, but this magical invisible leaf really appeared in front of her, and it just helped her get through it!
It has to be said that Drasser is still very clever, he does not show an attitude of desperate desire to be trusted, but with an easy-going desire to indulge, just plainly make up lies, let Samantha choose whether to believe or not to believe. Coupled with this guy's not low charm value, combined with the contrast and cuteness brought by the hearty smile, under full firepower, it is very effective for the plot characters, especially students like Samantha, who are not deeply involved in the world. Although she didn't believe it, Drasser's words remained in Samantha's heart, making her unconsciously think: "If what this person said is true, isn't Laura very dangerous?" ”
Comparatively speaking, Ma Le is very sad, even if this product wears a traveler's necklace and a ring of oaths, the charm attribute is higher than ordinary people, and it is very difficult to think of not relying on violence to influence the plot characters, especially when encountering Laura, who can't be beaten and scolded, but the thief is assertive, and it is a head and two big.
After calming her breath, Samantha looked at no one nearby, and finally took out the communicator that Drazer gave her and dialed Laura's channel: "Laura Laura, are you there?" I'm Samantha, I'm Samantha! ”
After a buzzing sound, Laura's surprised cry came from the communicator: "Sam (Laura's nickname for Samantha)?" Are you okay? Oh great, where are you now, we'll go and save you right away! ”
Hearing her friend's voice, Samantha also burst into tears with emotion: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I escaped from those crazy people...... You just said you guys? Are you with everyone? ”
"No, no, no, we're separated, we're looking for Professor Whitman's whereabouts, and I'm with Mr. Bell...... Oh yes, you haven't met Mr. Bell yet, she's a magical Oriental, she knows magical spells, and he told me that this island is cursed by the mysterious power of Himiko, and now no one can leave, and we are planning to save you, and then go to Himiko's lair to break the curse! ”
Hearing Laura's words, Samantha looked striking, a magical Oriental? approaching Laura for no reason, and instigating Laura to get close to Himiko? This qiē is surprisingly suspicious, think about it, Himiko is the queen of Japan, how can the envoy she sent be a high-nosed and deep-eyed western face, so it seems that what Drasser said may be true, this so-called Mr. Bell is likely to be the real "divine messenger"!
Thinking of this, Samantha hurriedly shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Laura, that Mr. Bell is not by your side!" ”
Laura listened to Samantha's tone and looked back at Ma Le, who had just walked out of the cargo compartment of the plane, and the latter saw her looking at herself, and said hello in a friendly manner: "Hey, I have everything put away, and I can take off at any time!" ”
Laura smiled back politely, and seeing that Ma Le was busy with other things, she walked to the corner alone and whispered to the walkie-talkie: "I have no one around now, what's wrong?" ”
When Samantha heard this, she immediately said, "That guy is dangerous, you have to leave him immediately!" ”
Laura was puzzled, Samantha told her what Draser had said, and Laura looked back at the busy Ma Le from a distance, her eyes were a little complicated: "You say he is the messenger of Himiko?" This...... It's not realistic, and if he was a messenger, how could he encourage me to break the curse of Himiko? ”
"He's asking you to get close to Himiko!" Samantha exclaimed, "Then you can let Himiko be reincarnated through your body, and he will have achieved his goal!" ”
Laura shook her head: "I still can't believe that at least with his strength, he can force me to take me away, there is no need to deceive me like this...... And a lot of his means, and what he came up with...... I can't think of Himiko...... Are you sure that the man who gave you the magic leaves is okay, how much can he be trusted? ”
Samantha was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a while, and said, "It's true that I don't fully trust that guy, but since he can let me go, I don't want to be with that group of crazy people...... It's better to believe it than not, Laura, on this island, we can't trust anyone, we can only rely on ourselves, no matter what, the appearance of that Mr. Bell is too suspicious! What kind of curse-breaking thing, wouldn't a superpowered person like him do it himself? I want to see you, I want to see everyone on the ship, let's hide together and slowly figure out a way, let's watch them fight with the gods, it's not a problem we should take care of......"
When Samantha said this, she was already crying, and Laura finally couldn't bear to be persuaded by her: "Okay, where are you now, I'll go find you, and then we'll go to Ross together, and find someone else......"
"I don't know...... I do not know...... Laura, I just ran out of their fortress and should be in the woods outside the city now...... I can't find my bearings......" Unlike Laura, who often exercises and loves adventure, Samantha is just a weak ordinary girl after all, and at this time, she is completely overwhelmed.
"Close to their lair? It's too dangerous there......" Laura frowned and said, "Well, you can still tell the direction, you go south, you should see a village, there are some houses, you take a rest there, I'll contact the others!" ”
Samantha obeyed Laura's arrangement and hung up the communication, and Laura tried to practice Reyes and the others, but could not find a signal at all. Could it be that the communicator is broken, or is the signal unstable? Laura thought so, and suddenly another channel took over, but it was Captain Rose's father.
"Laura? You okay? Rose's voice made Laura feel kind, "I'm fine, Rose, I've just contacted Samantha, she escaped from the clutches of those madmen, and now she's heading for the village where you're staying......"
Rose hesitated for a moment, then said, "But I'm not there anymore...... I'm on the east side of the island now, and I received a message from Reyes and I'm going to meet them, but unfortunately they were caught by the fanatics right under my nose...... I wanted to go out and save them, but my legs were not ......."
"Don't talk about Rose, I understand you, this can't be helped......" Laura comforted Ross, although she didn't make it clear, but when Laura lived on the ship, she also saw from the details, the relationship between the female mechanic Reyes and Rose is not ordinary, Reyes is still unmarried, but he has a fourteen-year-old daughter, and the father can be imagined. In such a relationship, it is impossible for Rose's character not to want to save her, but he will hide because he is really unable to do so. In this case, he should be the most uncomfortable in my heart.
Rose sighed and said, "Now that Samantha is safe, I hope you can ask Mr. Bell to come here to save them, this seems to be the base of those crazy people, there are many tall steel towers, there are many simple sheds built on the ground, there should be space underground, I see them being taken down...... Don't worry, my old bones haven't been loosened yet, and when you arrive, I'll cover for you! ”
Ross is not bragging, he is a famous sharpshooter, occupies advantageous terrain, and can take out dozens of enemies with a single sniper rifle!
Laura was a little gloomy when she heard this: "Rose, Belta...... It doesn't matter, even if it's just me, I'll save everyone! ”
When Rose heard this, he hurriedly said, "Is there something difficult about Mr. Bell?" Laura, don't do anything stupid, Mr. Bell has extraordinary powers, and without his help, it's too dangerous for you to go alone! ”
Laura knew that Rose cared about herself, and hurriedly explained: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just making an analogy......"
Hanging up the communication, Laura glanced at Ma Le, who was busy around the plane, with complicated eyes, and made up her mind to walk over......
