Chapter 18: New Developments in Roseos
From Smoker, who nearly lost his life at the hands of the mercenaries because of his own, they get further information about Roseos.
"Recently, the church has discovered that some of the ruins have changed." Smofa said as he pulled out a long note, "Here's the list of priests...... But I guess that's not all, because at this time we speak, new changes are taking place one after another. β
Reins took the list and motioned for Hua Shao to browse with her. They quickly scanned the paper from top to bottom, then handed it to Kyird.
The four heads of the Demon King Continent leaned together, and even Figilio touched his chin beside him to watch. Judging by the names listed on the paper, it can almost be said that it is quite a staggering number.
"How many ruins are there in the Goddess Continent...... "Smofa said helplessly, "If you count the smallest ruins that don't even produce spars for demonic beasts, there will be less than a hundred in the Goddess Continent." β
"But there are already thirty or forty listed on this piece of paper." "And from where they are, they're scattered, and there's no regional or geographic relationship. β
"And the scale is large and small, and there is no characteristic that all the ruins have in common." Reins frowned and stared at the paper detailing the ruins, "It's hard to guess what they're going to do next. β
Figilio was always watching it with an inquiring gaze, and his undisguised attitude made people quickly discover his anomaly, so he became the center of attention.
"So." Under this invisible pressure, Kyild had to become a representative of Figilio's inquiry, "Do you know what, Figilio?" β
The white-haired deity looked distressed.
"Hmm......" he was about to wrinkle his face, "I think I should know something, these names are familiar to me, but...... You know, I had my form before the war began, and I think the thing about these relics was before I got into shape...... At that time, I was only able to perceive things by communicating with the gods of the outside world. I think I can remember, though, it just takes some time. β
Kyild and Wokan looked at each other, then at their new allies.
"As much as Figilio says, I don't think we can just wait for him to think for himself. He's lived for so many years, and who knows how long it will take him to remember what he wants to know? Kyird shrugged, "Is there any other way we can investigate this?" There aren't too many ruins in the Demon King Continent, we've only been to one. I think you should have more experience. β
The people of the Demon King Continent were surprised to see the "brain" covering his mouth and laughing, while the silver-haired mercenary pouted.
"I thought we wouldn't have to see those damn ruins for a long time." She complained, "It's only been a few months? β
"Actually, it's been a long time." Hua Shao said gently, "Otzla's children have been born. β
This did not make Reins feel much better, and she glared at Hua Shao, but the latter was undaunted - although she didn't look very happy, she was definitely not angry.
"That little girl had just been born, so it was just less than a year." "I only haven't been to the ruins for about half a year, but I spent almost a year in the ruins with your stupid engineer before I came to Morfi. β
Hua Shao blinked innocently.
"I thought you liked this, didn't you? A two-person world for a year. β
The silver-haired mercenary bared her teeth fiercely.
"If your head is still functioning, you should remember that we didn't have a sweet relationship back then." She retorted sharply, "Although you choose to ignore my words every time, he still liked you at the time. β
"Apaya must have thought it was a pretty good year." As Regins had said, Hua Shao ignored her last sentence without any burden, "I remember him complaining more than once that there are too many people in the Morfi base, and even if he locks himself and you in the research room, or in his bedroom, there will still be people who can disturb you in various ways - the ruins will interfere with most of the contacts, and only the one that really matters will work." β
Rhines had even rolled her eyes, and Kryder coughed lightly twice, deciding not to stand aside and listen to them talk about something personal.
"So, you mean, we can go straight to the ruins and see what's going on?"
"'We'? I'll have to think about that. Reins said in a cold tone, "Even the smallest ruins have their defense mechanisms, since you have also been to one of them, then you should know, unless the ruins of the Demon King Continent are no longer serious ruins." β
When the mercenaries talk to them, it seems that they are uncomfortable without a gun or a stick. Kyild could only sigh in his heart, not caring about the other party's behavior that could be evaluated as "rude".
"Of course, we understand that."
"So the problem is clear." Rhines said simply, "Having enough combat power, especially sensitivity to magic, is to be able to go to the ruins, and that's just the basic condition." Since Roseos left traces near those ruins, even if they did it deliberately, it shows that they have done something to the ruins. Without a good skill, I don't want to drag myself through the ruins - I'd rather take Apaya with me. β
"Rather." Hua Shao chewed on the word, "That's a good statement. β
"Stop, Murphy's brain." Rheinsy threatened, "Or I'll beat you, or your partner." After all, you are more fragile and prone to situations. β
Hua Shao smiled innocently at her.
No matter how many gags there are in the middle of the discussion, going to the ruins is a sure thing. While he lamented that he would have to endure such a form of communication for a long time to come, he also seriously thought about going to the ruins.
According to Molfi-Fili, they did not force the nobles to join them. They have considerable experience with both the ruins and Roseos, and can succeed without the help of the nobles. But the people of the Demon King Continent thought that they should go to the scene and see the scene with their own eyes.
As for the combat effectiveness, this is a very obvious choice. Bianko and Ranoda must not be able to go to the ruins, in fact, the time in the Demon King Continent, if it wasn't for the protection of the god of death, they wouldn't be able to move forward safely. Even Kyild and Wokan may not be able to meet the requirements of the mercenaries, after all, their mastery of magic is far inferior to that of the people of the Goddess Continent, and in terms of martial arts alone, the role they can play is probably not as good as the machinery used by the family.
But, of course, they still have to try.
"We can choose smaller ruins." "Since it's not clear what happens to the ruins here, it's safer to start with the smaller ruins," Wokan suggested. Since they were going to investigate each of the ruins, it shouldn't make much of a difference which one to start with. β
"Good advice, Wokan, so you can go and talk to them."
Kyard's speech caused Wokan to pout, who was lying boredly on the table in his room, squinting at his friend.
"Although I understand that you are a person who does not like to suddenly divert the topic and talk about personal matters when discussing serious matters."
"Now that you understand, it's time for you to embody your role." "Moreover, you are well suited to this type of communication, because you yourself are this kind of person." β
The rolls of Wokan's eyes were about to roll to the back of his head, but Kyelder ignored his subtle complaints. He just took Bianko's hand and got up from his chair, looking like he was about to leave the room.
"What, is the matter we have to discuss over?"
In the face of Wokan's question, Kyild raised an eyebrow on the side.
"Is there anything else we have to do?"
"No, there isn't." Wokan collapsed in his chair without an image, "Are you really going to leave the ruins to me?" Oh my gosh, you're still the same Kui I know? β
"You're very good alone." Kyild hypocritically praised, "You can handle this, Wokan." β
"Hate you, Kui."
"Thank you."
After Kyild finished speaking, Shi Shiran pulled his trembling little wife back to their own room.
"It's the first time I've heard Kye compliment Wokan." Bianko blinked, "Kai has always only attacked him. β
"It's a tactic." Kayld ripped off his tie as he walked to the bed, "When you need someone to do something for you, you need to flatter them appropriately β of course, Wagan is a special example. When I compliment him, I just make it more uncomfortable for him. β
The girl laughed and fell to their soft bed, and perhaps the former Kyld would have told her to change her clothes and watch her posture. But...... They are now husband and wife, and this kind of external etiquette does not need to be emphasized three times or twice, because Bianko has long remembered it.
"Will the ruins of the Goddess Continent and the ruins of the Demon King Continent be the same?" Bianko turned her face to the side and watched intently as Kyild's undressing, "That ruin of Lord Valuto is beautiful, I would like to visit it again." β
Kyild snorted and threw his shirt in Bianko's face, in exchange for a short scream from the maiden.
"Do you think the ruins are some kind of amusement park?" He quipped, "Don't think about it. If you want to go to the ruins of Lord Valuto, wait until you return to the Demon King Continent and let Figilio take you there. But on the Goddess Continent sideβno, not right now. We're going to stay here when we go out, with Ranorda, or with that brain in Molfi. Don't let me know you're trying to be alone, or to act with anyone else. β
Bianco, who slapped her shirt on the bed, puffed out her face, but she nodded obediently.
