Chapter 51: Traces of the Goddess's Haunt
Tasrovi Valley, a place covered in trees, will also have several lowlands in the depths of the valley, and it is rumored that there are beautiful lakes in it.
Several lightly dressed men appeared at the foot of the mountain, looked around for a moment, and then walked into the valley.
The man with short curly pale blonde hair looked into the distance, speaking to his companion.
"Again, we're going to find the only lake in the valley that is surrounded by trees, and we're going to set up a detection device."
"Because of Rhine's powers, the lake has been restored to its thousand-year-old state, in exactly the same form as she described, and will have an extraordinarily rich magical power." The woman with long brown hair said, "These magic powers may attract people from Roseos, so be careful." β
"Go ahead with caution." The red-haired woman held her cigarette stick and said with a seemingly relaxed attitude, "Even though I'm here, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to keep you safe. β
"Will it be that dangerous?" Wokan made an exaggerated expression, "With the props you made on us, the people of the Fili Mercenary Regiment can't take us away from here?" β
"If it's just those guys from Roseos, that's fine." Ella shook off the ashes of her cigarette, "I'm afraid 'Rossos' wants to get involved." After all, things from a thousand years ago shouldn't appear now, and it's normal to attract the attention of the gods. β
"Whoa......," Walkan sighed, "if that's the case, we're in danger." β
On the other side of the Tasrovi Valley, the two remaining two people from the Demon King Continent and another mercenary also entered here to explore. The area of the valley is not small, and they can't send too many people at once, otherwise they will easily attract the attention of others, so they can only divide their troops into two ways.
In order to make it easier for their side to move, Reins chose another place with an anomalous aura to carry out the same transformation. The actions of the Church are always more likely to be noticed, so Smoffa and Pat go to the place where the induction is to be carried out.
"That lake should be in the center of the valley to the east......" Bianko looked nervously at the map in her hand, "the east should be the direction of our right-hand side, right?" Right? β
"That's right." Kayld soothingly pressed her head as she shook her head from side to side, "Don't be so nervous, silly girl, it's only going to make more noise." β
"He's right." "Rossos' attention has been taken away by the church, the church has sent a communication, they have met Roses and are fighting. We're fine here, don't expose yourself. β
Biankom nodded obediently, she chose to nest by Kyird's side and not act on her own.
"Once we find the lake, we have to set up detection devices nearby, they are very difficult to damage by humans, so when they are destroyed in an instant, we know that there are traces of gods here......" Kryder frowned, "what kind of use is this?" We also can't tell how many gods appeared, and if the goddess appeared with 'Rossos', then there was no point in Figilio coming by himself, and he could even be seriously injured. β
"We just need to make sure that the Goddess is indeed going to be here." Bora replied, "The Rhine said that the goddess has appeared here, and this is the place where the breath of the goddess is strongest. As long as it is confirmed that the goddess will haunt here, then we can have the next step. They were already talking to the priest about how to remove the deity's condition. β
"Someone among us has to see with his own eyes whether the goddess is being controlled or something else, right?" "There is no doubt that this task belongs to Figilio. β
Bora shrugged her shoulders and acquiesced in what he said.
The three of Kyild reached their destination first, and it was a few minutes before Wokan and Ranoda came into view.
"I hope you're not delaying yourself by complimenting other women." Kyild scoffed at Vokan, "If nothing else, at least Lanoda will never agree to be your family." β
Lanorda cooperated with an angry look, Wokan showed a rather frightened face, and Ella, who was involved in the conversation, happily watched their exchange from the sidelines, not actively participating.
"The device is here." Ignoring their confrontation, Bora took out the items provided by Rheins from the space bag, "Just bury them in the dirt." β
"It's a dirty job." Ella grinned and leaned on top of Lanordaβthey unexpectedly fell in love with each other, "I think that's what men do, Bora." β
Bora rolled her eyes, and he reached for the bag that Ella had handed her, placing the part of the device that Ella was carrying with his own.
The men consciously took on the task of digging the pit, and Biancole was caught in the middle by two other women, not allowed to participate in this unskilled work.
"I've always felt like we're acting stupidly." Wokan whispered, "Isn't it enough for us to bury one?" It doesn't matter if it's one or several, as soon as the gods come, they will be damaged. β
"But they still have basic detection capabilities." "If the gods don't come, they can also detect the traces of others, such as Rossos." We can tell if this is important to them based on how often they appear. β
Wokan sighed, his actions not hesitating, but his mouth was still not idle.
"I didn't expect the world's magic source to be such a domineering thing." He said, "After your boss has done this, he can only lie in bed and recover, and there is no way to even see if the goddess has appeared here during this time. β
"What do you think that's that?" Pola said unceremoniously, "That's the magic that belongs to the creator god, and being able to drive it as a human being is already a great achievement." Brother Kate and Sister Mette are allowed to use 'Omano' within certain limits and within the rules, but they can't use 'Omano' just for their own subjective intentions, let alone try to get involved in what happened thousands of years ago. β
"Of course, I'm not blaming her." "I just can't figure it out, if the goddess does appear here, and if she's controlled by Roseos, then, assuming we're unlucky enough to run into the goddess, how can we escape?" β
"That's why Rhine gave you those things." Bora let out a breath from her nose, "That lengthens the time she spends lying in bed, but the magic props made based on the world's magic source are not comparable to the kind of things we make, even if you face the gods, you can at least escape." β
Wokan was stunned for two seconds, then quickly turned to look at Ella, so fast that Biancole wondered if he would twist his neck.
"You just said that even if your Fili mercenaries are here, they won't be able to protect us when the gods appear?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Ella looked at him in surprise, "It's the props made by the Rhine that protect you, so strictly speaking, Bora and I really can't protect you - we can protect ourselves at best, and you have the protection of the Rhine." β
Bora was expressionless and buried in her work, apparently accustomed to his sister playing tricks on others in this way.
They didn't bring a lot of devices, and the most time it took to dig the pit was the process of Ella setting up an enchantment for them to shield them from being squeezed away by Roses' men.
When the earth was finally filled, Wokan stepped on the dirt in anger, a childish behavior that even Kild did not want to pay attention to. This is the end of their mission, and they had better return to Morfi's base immediately to prevent any changes.
As they walked out, Ella and Bola paused. The siblings looked at the sky suspiciously, and within a few seconds, their expressions turned solemn.
Biancole moved her ears, and an unknown chill came up her spine. She shrank down to Kyild, stealthily grabbing his arm.
"What's the sound?" She whispered, "It's a terrible, loud voice, like Lord Avos with a straight face. β
Bianco's description was still illogical, but Kryd understood. There was something comparable to the power of the Demon King that was captured by Bianko's ears, and the range of this existence was only a handful.
"Let's go." Ella whispered, "Don't use the prop just yet, it will cause the other party's idea to be aroused." The other party is still far away, even the gods will not be here in a second, and for some reason, the other party is not using space magic, but is just flying - this is our chance to leave. β
Without Ella's further urging, the group of six hurried out of the valley. Given the rugged terrain of the valley, they could not walk as fast as they could, and in the end Kryd simply carried Biancole behind him, and Vokan carried Lanoda in the same way. At least then they can increase their speed a little more.
Under the pressure of no words, they quickly walked out of the valley. Ella was sure that the unknown being wasn't chasing them and was far enough away that she prepared the magic of spatial transfer.
"The props given by Rhein can be used less, and they can be used less." Ella said calmly, "That's a life-saving thing, Rhine can't do it again in the future, at least we won't let her do it again." β
She successfully set up the magic circle, and before they could step into the circle, a soul-shaking roar rang out from the depths of the valley. They couldn't help but look back, only to see a pair of huge black wings slowly spreading, and the shadows it cast were covering the valley at an alarming speed, Bianko subconsciously gasped, pulling Kyird and Lanoda into the magic circle.
