Section F, Chapter 36: Looking Down (Cyberdart)
Has Lusha finally decided to take off...... Looking at Aya slowly coming to a halt on a street corner, the elf tensed up and nervously calculated what might happen next: if she had predicted, she would spread her wings and rise as high as she could, then hover in the air for a while. This height must be grasped by a certain degree, so that you can hide yourself in the snow and fog and still be able to clearly observe the enemy.
This is not difficult to do, as the lightness of the snow fog makes it easier to look down from a high altitude than the other way around. In particular, Lusa's wolf eyes' night vision ability can make it easier for her to deal with all this.
Actually, it shouldn't be so troublesome, she can turn into a wolf form and become invisible, so that it will be easier and safer to track the enemy. Feeling a little embarrassed, Cyberdart secretly apologized to Aya in the bottom of his heart: I'm really sorry, I'm completely dragging you back? To be honest, I still have some doubts about the point of following me.
Apparently not, right...... After being inexplicably hit by herself, the elf sighed and looked at Aya: sure enough, she was flapping her pure white wings and slowly rising into the sky. Unexpectedly, she turned around and looked this way. Even though the night was very thick, the elf could faintly see her waving her hand in this direction.
She definitely has better eyesight than mine...... Hurriedly waving in response, the elf smiled helplessly, and watched her rise into the untouchable snow and mist, until she couldn't even see the girl's figure clearly. Realizing that it would be a long and boring waiting time to keep an eye on Lusa's movements, the Ranger straightened up and lowered the brim of his hat: now he had to trust the child's judgment.
It's extremely difficult to tell when an enemy is going around in circles and when it's not. Because it requires a great way of seeing and a gift of discernment. Although he wished that he was the one who judged in the sky, the elves who were frustrated that they could not see their enemies were still optimistic: Lusha's words should be able to do it.
This child has been smart since she was a child, and I watched her grow up, and she is also the older generation who have known her parents for decades...... Filled with nostalgia for the past, the elf sighed heavily: How did things come to this point? The thought of her being cursed made her feel sullen: to whom did the Amrea Lock fall to curse a child who was only fifteen years old at the time, and to force him to leave his hometown and his relatives and friends?
If I could swap her, I'd love to. At least I'm used to wandering as a ranger, so it doesn't matter if I'm lonely or not. But she was different, this girl grew up with no one to accompany her - if she was left alone, Lusha would be depressed and even full of fear. But in fact, her sister Lucina takes her with her everywhere and never leaves her sister alone. The whole of Eloya knew that the place where Lusa could be found was her sister.
While staring at the sky where Lusa had ascended, the elf pulled out the brown leather whip on his waist and pinched it in his hand and played with it repeatedly: This guy is my old friend for hundreds of years, and he brought it from the Moon Shadow City in the Moon Shadow Forest of the Seventeenth World in his hometown. I was only sixteen years old when I got it, and that was the most glorious day of my life.
It was the last day of the Ranger exam, which lasted four days. My climbing shooting in the final (balancing with my feet and archery with my bow in both hands while climbing trees. It is an extremely difficult technique that qualifies the learner to earn the highest Ranger title and further study the Esoteric Technique. ), and the elders gave it to me as a prize.
It is an enchanted whip that lengthens and shortens according to the user's mind, and can transform the whip head into a sharp shape to attack and assist in climbing, and can be repaired if broken or worn. Since then, in his ranger career, he has accompanied Sebodat every step of the way. It wasn't until he nearly lost it once that the elves managed to find someone to cast three more spells on him: a restitution charm that would automatically return to him, and a shaping charm that could manipulate the hardness.
And...... Resist the enchantment of the Broken Spell. This way, you don't have to worry about some spellbreaker removing the magic of the whip. Although the elves have since traveled around the world to try to find someone to cast another spell on the whip to make it self-conscious, they have not succeeded. This is probably one of the purposes of his wandering around all the time - people must have a goal to be motivated.
The guards also came one after another...... Looking at the soldiers who were rushing to different areas in four directions, the elf vaguely saw the figure of the knight: he took five or six people and hurried straight to the old city.
Old Town...... There are a lot of old buildings over there, and there is a good chance that there are secret passages and entrances or something. Turning his head to take turns looking at the other teams, Cyberdat noticed that the guards patrolling the road were constantly joining the search team. More and more soldiers participated in the operation, and within a few minutes there were about 30 percent more.
In addition, the striking central barracks opened its gates. Many guards, armed with torches and spears, rushed out of the courtyard gate in a procession, and went to different streets under the command of one person. At the same time, another gathering of fires suddenly appeared on the southeast side, attracting the attention of the elves.
That was the direction of the woods leading to Snowcastle. These reinforcements from Cold Snow Castle were eighty or ninety people, and there were two teams of cavalry mixed in. They quickly pulled in formation, blocking the large outlying woodland vertically, preventing the Corruptor from trying to flee there.
The speed and execution of these Ice Child warriors are really efficient, and they must be well-trained, right? In such a short time, they are all attacking neatly and quickly, and even the formation is upright.
However, contrary to the elf's expectations, after only a few minutes of waiting, Aya took action and flew down the clouds. Frowning, the elf couldn't help but wonder a little: Is it because Lusa didn't judge well, or did I overestimate the enemy's IQ?
Since Lusha's direction was facing this side, the elf turned around and pressed her legs, and strode off the top of the tower with her muscles moving. As he was about to fall to the ground, he threw out his whip and hooked the branch above his head.
Relying on inertia, the elf's body was thrown up at high speed. Retracting the whip, he landed firmly on the wall and then jumped down. As he ran up the block and kept an eye on Aya's flying direction, the ranger suddenly realized after a dozen seconds.
It seems that the knight's group went to the right place just now, judging by Lusa's straight flight, it is the old town.
