Chapter Eighty-Nine: Hello
"Divine magic can heal the damage to your muscles so that you don't get sore from resting, but it can't restore your strength, and she can't use that kind of magic unless Lisa is here. ”
"Who's Lisa? sounds like a beautiful woman, introduce me to it. ”
"The cutest sister in the world, eleven years old this year, I didn't expect Ah Dak, you still have this habit, Dark Moon will punish you, a shameless sinner, as the guardian of the mortal world of Lord Dark Moon, I will turn you into a corpse now. ”
"You two will do it in moderation. Mia couldn't stand it anymore, she was such a bastard, she called everyone up to get ready to go, but she didn't do anything and just messed around, "If you do it again, all your rewards will be deducted when you go back." ”
"Ahem, cough, okay, let's not talk nonsense, the last part of the road, everyone has to persevere. Don't blame me for giving you a fifteen-minute break, and while bugs can't theoretically get in, don't let your guard down. The point is not our high-level mercenaries, but the fifteen of you, don't think that you will be safe when you get to a place where there are no bugs, anything can happen in the otherworldly projection, if you want to let your guard down, tell me in advance, and I will help you prepare the eulogy and tombstone. ”
"It's the same as outside, everyone is lined up in a vigilant formation, the same as before, the high level is on the outer layer, and the low level is on the inner layer for protection, and now let's go, I hope that Laura is gone, and the door of this Jumping Hall can still be opened. ”
Shul thought about it, the door not only opened, but also opened automatically, and as soon as the team approached, the metal door silently shrank to the sides, revealing the dark corridor outside.
"Yuri, Light. "The Wizard Scholar will definitely carry a magic guide with a luminous function, which consumes very little mana on himself, and is much less economical than the mage's light technique.
A white flame hovered above Yuri's head, and the dancing flames reflected on his face, making everyone's expressions look cloudy. The brightness of the light is not high, and ordinary people can barely see the environment, but for high-level mercenaries, this is enough.
"I always feel like you're a target. Shur sighed, it was indeed very similar, especially when it was dark around, as if a bug could come out of the shadows at any moment and pounce on the light source, "Forget it, so be it." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you've already consumed more than a dozen of my magic guides this time. Yuri even rolled his eyes so noble, "I decided to invite us to dinner after I went out, and I can't let you go now." ”
"It's a little more, but anyway, you can charge the magic guide yourself, it just takes some time, if you can't use the hedron, anyway, you 'ordinary' winged people don't care. "Anyway, I don't need to pay for the spar money, right, as for eating, you can have a few gold coins, "Eat and eat, you can choose a place when the time comes, hey, what do you mean by this smile, and I will regret it if you are so careful." ”
"Nothing, hehe, nothing. ”
In the dark, the voice of intelligent beings can dispel the fear for no reason, listening to the constant verbal exchange between the two, even ordinary people feel that the dim environment is not so afraid.
"Wei, the door can still be opened normally, but the light source can't be used, is this normal?"
"It's normal, sir, the door is automatic, but some light sources need to be opened manually. ”
"Manual?"
"It can be controlled by the main brain or turned on with an external switch, and the base lighting generally has two operating systems that work at the same time. ”
"Well, that's okay. Shuer nodded thoughtfully, but immediately asked, "Can the automatic door be opened without energy?"
"The energy consumption of the sensor door is not much, and if the main brain is forced to shut down due to lack of energy, it is reasonable that the sensor door can continue to be used. ”
"Are you worried?" Mia keenly felt the uneasiness behind Shuer's questions, "Do you think that the loss of contact with the control center is not due to the depletion of energy, but the enemy has invaded the base?"
"Nothing, just a little uneasy. Shuer reassured softly, "You have to prepare for the worst." ”
"Do you think I'm stupid, or do you think I haven't led a team?" Mia glared at the obviously insincere guy, "I think there's something wrong with you." ”
"I said I'd definitely bring everyone back, trust me. Shuer smiled noncommittally and changed the subject, "There will be no problem with the heavy losses this time." ”
"The craftsman must pay a compensation, the mercenaries don't need to, and the loss is not much, as for my colleagues who sacrificed, there is no need to worry, they all wrote their wills before they came, and it was bad luck to be sucked into the otherworldly projection, not because of me, and not only did we dare to go in to save them, but also successfully brought out three, not only did it not affect me, but it improved my reputation in the Blue Tower. ”
"Hmm, shouldn't there be some substantial reward for me as a commander?"
"The method of changing the subject is simply inferior. Mia pursed her lips disdainfully and said coldly, "Shall I reward you with that slut over there who can't wait to walk naked?"
"Okay, hehehehe, I can't ask for it. Shure raised an eyebrow at Miriday.
"Do you want to die flat-chested? When you get back, I'll show you how to walk naked tonight. ”
"Whew. Finally moving the topic away, Shul no longer paid attention to the two mages who could fight at any time, anyway, they would play on their own and take their own control, "Be on the alert, Dark, you can slow down a little, Saf, prick up your ears, report any movement immediately, by the way, Fleison, you are too non-existent, did you follow the leap?"
"I'm right next to you. A cold voice sounded from the side, "Something?"
"Don't go too far from the group, the surrounding shadows are in your charge, you are an expert in this area, if you find an enemy lurking in the shadows, take it out immediately. ”
"Understood. "The source of the sound has reached far away, and this guy is really elusive.
"Eh, will there be people in this world who lurk in the shadows like the Assassins?" Moria jumped up to Shure's side, suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Do you suspect that the mastermind of the Soul Clan also has malicious intentions?"
"Yes, how could it not be, Wei said, humans have optical camouflage and can lurk in shadows, and the soul clan has dark holy warriors, and after fixing their bodies, they will walk in the shadows all their lives, and bugs may have them. Answering aloud, Shul then said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't tell me you don't know what I'm worried about, you saw it all the time." ”
"Hey, a deer can't understand the complex thinking of you humans, we deer only know how to eat, drink and sleep. ”
"And messing around and messing around. ”
"Oh, by the way, in addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping, there is also ...... Hmm ”
I don't know if it's because everyone is extra careful, or because Shul is really worried, a few kilometers of road, there were no accidents, and an hour later, when Save happily told Shul that the exact location of the projection gate had been confirmed, the last corner was already close in sight.
However, when they turned the corner and saw the huge metal door at the end of the corridor, several high-ranking mercenaries smiled wryly.
They had all heard from Shul and Moria about the headache-inducing gate, a heavy, thick, impregnable metal gate that could barely be broken through, and everyone had been glad that Shul had kept the door open for the base mastermind.
But now, once again, the gate was closed, like an impassable wall, on the way home.
"Ah~~" Just when everyone felt helpless, a short scream came from the shadows, and when he turned his head suddenly, he saw the assassin Fleison stumbling out of the shadows, his face was pale, and one arm had been broken by the roots, and the broken arm was caught in his hand, and the fracture was rough and uneven, not like it was cut off, but like it was sawn off.
"Enemy attack!" Shure's face changed and he shouted, "The combatants unfold their energy shields, and the non-combatants concentrate on me, leaning against the wall and leaning against the terrain to defend. ”
Shuer did not stupidly ask about the enemy's situation, but gave a defense order as soon as possible, the enemy was nowhere to be seen, and it must be in a stealth state, and when the next target could not be determined, it was the best choice to defend strictly, and there was time after wanting to inquire about the enemy's situation.
"Saf, listen to the voice, judge the position, Moria, the roots are paved on the ground, the other party will catch it when he lands, Mia, prepare yourself, Fleison, bring the broken arm back to the team. ”
"The enemy is the only one. Saph immediately gave the answer, "The sound of wings flapping is the wings of living beings." ”
None of them heard the sound of wings flapping, but Shul believed in Saf's hearing, and there must have been a reason why he couldn't hear it before, but since he heard it, he couldn't be mistaken.
"Definitely not human. Fleison retreated into the guard circle as quickly as he could, gritting his teeth and saying in pain, "The body structure is completely different. ”
"It's bugs. "There is no doubt that it is a living thing, not a human being, and there is only one possibility of insects in this world," Mia, burn it. ”
"May, Hall. The elven mage raised his staff and sang the magic text, Mia, who rarely used props, also used the staff to increase this time, and in an instant, in the corridor more than 100 meters wide and tens of meters high, a wall of fire covering all the facets appeared in front of everyone, and the wall of fire quickly advanced, and the high temperature filled the interior of the corridor, and everyone was hot on their faces.
The magic was effective, and in the flames, a violent struggle sounded backwards, and when the flames were extinguished, a praying mantis more than a person tall appeared out of thin air, and the mantis's skin was burned black, perhaps because of this, it destroyed its stealth ability.
"Rustle, rustle", the mantis' wings rubbed against each other, making a threatening sound, and the serrated blades of a pair of scythes were closed one by one, looking creepy.
"There were others, and in the shadows behind, I heard voices. Saph pointed to the darkness in the hallway and said, "There aren't many of them, but they're all huge. ”
"Sure enough, it's a bug. Shul said in a low voice with a straight face, "Slowly retreat, retreat to the target, and prepare to open the door manually." ”
"Hello, human allies, welcome. "A familiar voice, cold, emotionless, Shure and Moria are no strangers, this is the voice that belongs to the master of the soul clan, "You are very obedient and have come back within the deadline." ”
"But you're not keeping your promise, Soul Master, you shut the door. Shure sneered, "Or, should I call you the queen of the swarm?"
