Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 99 Pat
After a thrilling escape, when the long knife thrown by No. 2 in a hurry and flew past Rheins's hair, the two men successfully jumped into the operation room of the machine and drove the machine away.
"I almost got hit...... Nasty guys. ”
Reins brushed up the left shredded hair with her fingers, and the originally neat long hair was cut by the sharp blade of No. 2, which made her pout a little dissatisfied.
"Come and let me see."
Reins raised an eyebrow at Appaya, who was still working on the monitor, but slouched over to his lap and looked up at what he was doing.
Apaya tapped quickly on the keyboard, and Reins saw that the concealment function of the machine was activated, and even set up an automatic route. After sending a message to Hua Shao that briefly described the situation, he lowered his head and met Rheinz's eyes.
"Don't sit so low, aren't you tired?"
Apaya reached out and grabbed Reine's wrist, and the latter rose to his strength and sat directly into his arms. The calloused fingers swept over Reinse's ears, making her feel a little itchy and unconsciously tilt her head.
The broad palm finally grasped the strand of her broken hair, and slowly moved downward, and the silver-white hair staggered out of his hand. Reins keenly sensed that the mood of the person next to her had become visibly unhappy.
"When I go back, I have to see how to trim it to make it look better, whether to make the two sides more symmetrical, or simply cut it short." Reins pretended to be angry and pouted slightly, "I'm going to be laughed at by Leanne now." ”
Apaya carefully brushed the hair behind Rhine's ear, caressing her face very naturally, following the contours of the ear.
"Even if you don't trim it, it looks just as good, and you don't need to care what others say."
Rhines blinked, the Engineer's wayward protection really made her heart flutter.
"They'll definitely come back to Roseos, and then we'll have a chance to get it back." Rhines also reached out to touch Apaya's face, "Don't worry about their affairs now, think about how to fight them in one go, right?" ”
Apaya's expression softened, Rhines leaned her face up, and took the initiative to step forward to warm up, this rare opportunity Apaya naturally would not let go of some unhappy people and things, the right hand that was originally placed on her cheek slid to the back of her head, and while kissing the lips deeply, the left hand also touched the back of her delicate and smooth hand, and turned to interlock her fingers tightly.
Morfi's destination was not far from the territory of the Prosoa family, and if it was to be reached by flying boat from the main city of Prosoa, it would only take a quarter of an hour at most.
Because of their escape, Rossos must have realized that their trip was a means to delay time, so there was no need to hide it, and Rhines made contact with Ella openly.
Perhaps because they were moving at a high speed, or because of the interference in Ella's location, the water mirror of contact was not particularly stable, and she didn't want to rush to get in touch with them through Phiri's Otoyuan Essence, which would affect their actions if Philip were fighting.
“…… Mattress? Rhine? ”
It took about 1 minute or so for the water mirror's communication to stabilize, and although the picture was still not very clear, the sound could be heard clearly.
"Ella, how's your situation over there?"
"We've reached our destination and started to make peace with the other mercenaries and clans." Ella seemed to shake her head, "I just heard from Hua Shao that you were attacked by Roseos?" Are you okay? ”
"Luckily, it's No. 2 instead of Mayvotos, and we're not hurt, we're heading towards you. Haven't the people of Rossos been seen yet? ”
"I haven't found it yet." A flaxen-colored shadow squeezed in, and the voice sounded like Imi, "Neither Shuka nor Talos noticed any movement in Rossos, but Talos surmised that they were already on their way, so let's hurry up." ”
Reins touched her chin and nodded briefly.
"This assumption is correct, it is necessary to hurry forward as soon as possible, and the closer you meet the people of Roses near the research factory, the more advantageous it will be to reduce the damage of the battle. Hurry as soon as you can, leave one person aside from the battle for the time being, and keep in touch with me. ”
The faint flaxen and red colors were far away from the water mirror, but it did not end the communication, and after Rhines waited patiently for a while, a white shadow approached the water mirror.
"Sister Rhine, I'll hold the water mirror, I brought the cornerstone, I can stabilize the water mirror on the cornerstone, and Sister Rhine won't have to work hard."
With Elianne's words, the picture of the water mirror gradually became clearer, which made Reins praise Elian.
"It's still Ellie's caring, I can remember to bring these things."
The cornerstone is their own unified name for a subset of items that stabilize mana. The principle of the water mirror itself is to use its own magic to mobilize the surrounding water element, and it needs to mobilize the water element around the other party of communication, which is very susceptible to the influence of the environment, and is not the best way to communicate for most people.
Because of Reins' special affinity for the elements of magic, this is the main way for the Philes to communicate with each other, but it is still inevitable that they will be susceptible to environmental influences. If the attachment point of the Water Mirror is transformed from the water elemental and the surrounding mana to an object with a fixed existence, such as the Cornerstone, this connection will become very stable and save mana.
Elion smiled shyly, then slowly turned the water mirror in the direction of the outside, showing Rheinth the environment they were in now, and the people who were gathering around them.
"Is that all there is to it?" Rhines sighed lightly, "The speed of the assembly is a little too slow, do you think that Hermiria is not there, and the people of the church can't supervise them?" ”
"We're a little anxious, but we can't help it." Hua Shao's voice came from the other end of the water mirror, and then her face also appeared, "After all...... Not to mention the conflict between the family and the mercenaries, even the family and the mercenaries usually have their own discord, right? Even if the people in the church persuaded them to help, it would be nice that they didn't fight now that the church was not present. ”
Rhines frowned, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Apaya. Although the situation was a little tense now, her behavior as if asking for help was even cute in Appaya's eyes, and she couldn't help but touch her head for it.
"I'm thinking, if the combat strength is insufficient, it is better for Morfi's people to be the vanguard, and only open the way and not love the war, there shouldn't be much attrition." Hua Shao said with a little headache, "After all, if you have to talk about it, we started this battle first, and it's really unreasonable to let them help us open the way." ”
"What's wrong with that?"
Huck squeezed to Hua Shao's side and hugged her shoulders, and there was no politeness in his tone.
"If it weren't for us, they wouldn't know how they would have been killed by Roses, and, looking at these people, who could go directly to Roses' people but us? This battle is also for themselves, right? If we fail, they're finished, right? ”
After saying this, Huck glared at Reins, as if to say that if she didn't agree, we'd just wait and see. Leynes completely ignored his actions and just looked at Hua Shao.
Although he was very bold and cheeky, it was true. This is the time when they need to join forces, and if they are not aware of this, they will sooner or later fail to adapt to the changes in the world. ”
Huck bared his teeth as if to protest against her assessment, but Hua Shao fell into deep thought, which made him unable to take it seriously - in fact, if Hua Shao came to his senses, it would only be more difficult for him to do anything to the mercenary.
"Anyway, let's see what happens after we go and decide. If we are still in chaos after we arrive, then Filly is responsible for dealing with the mercenaries, you are responsible for taking care of the family, and those who don't make sense will use force to educate. ”
Hua Shao frowned and nodded, and then the water mirror returned to Elian's hand. Rhines glanced at the sketchy map displayed on the machine, it would take them about half an hour to reach their destination, and this time was a little too long, half an hour was enough for the family and the mercenaries to quarrel over some trivial matter, and then turn into a fight.
And half an hour was enough for Roses' men to come and meet them.
"That's not going to work...... Reins tapped her fingers on the armrest of her chair with some irritability, "there's no way we're going to be faster, can we?" ”
Apaya's arms went around her, directly operating the machine in this position of holding her, and Reins stared at the data displayed on the screen, biting her lower lip unconsciously.
"Disarming the stealth device will increase the speed even more, and it will take about 20 minutes to get there. With the current conditions, it will be difficult to increase the speed even further. ”
"20 minutes...... Is there no way to shorten it any longer? ”
Reinth muttered to herself, she had tried to teleport them through with spatial magic, but perhaps because the Rossos Research Factory was too influential around there to establish a precise coordinate. She knew that she was being a strong man, but she couldn't help but want to try to see if there were more possibilities.
Rossos sent No. 2 out to round them up, which means that they have more hole cards and don't care if No. 2 is sacrificed. If the family and the mercenaries can unite well, they can barely deal with it, but now......
Rheins sighed with a headache when she saw the people in a mess of scattered sand through the water mirror.
"Relax, Rhine, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to think of a way." Apaya tried to soothe the anxious man in her arms, "What about the people of the church? Since the church has decided to intervene in this matter, they should also intervene? Can you contact someone from the church, or ask Hermiria to contact you? ”
"Hmm......" Reins pondered, "this may work, I'll try to contact the people in the church, Hermiria is taking care of Zruo, and he may not be able to spare his hand." ”
At this moment, there was a commotion from the other end of the water mirror, which made Reins look nervously and guess if the worst had happened.
"Ellie? What's going on over there? ”
"I don't know, but it seems that someone suddenly appeared and caused a commotion." Elian replied obediently, "That person's outfit is a little familiar, Sister Rhine?" ”
Without waiting for Reins to reply, Elian turned the water mirror to the center of the commotion, and when Reins squinted her eyes and was about to take a closer look, an unfamiliar handsome face appeared in front of the water mirror.
"Hello, you're Lord Reins Phillip, right?" The man smiled very brightly, but he also seemed to realize that he was too close, so he stepped back a little, which made Reins see his costume clearly, "My name is Pat, and the priest sent me to help you, but I haven't been here, so I'm lost, and I've been delayed a lot, ahahahaha." ”
Reins looked at the man with a blank expression, he was wearing a classical knight's uniform with the same style as Smofa, but in a white and gold-trimmed color, and remembered that Hermiria had mentioned that the leader of their "oracle" was dressed in this way, and could not help but feel deeply worried about the future of the church.
