Section D, Chapter 7: Inside the Woods (Seresia)
After seeing the two disappear into the passage, Mad Dog turned around and pulled out two throwing knives.
Throwing knives are wasted in such a place...... Ceresya frowned and crouched down to lower her shield.
After waiting for a while, it was estimated that the two of them had arrived in the hall. Mad Dog grabbed a throwing knife and slammed it into the steam pipe from the side.
Steam slowly came out of the breach in an instant. To slow down the explosion, Cereya twisted her fingers and thrust the knife tighter.
Quickly placing it flat next to the obelisk, Mad Dog placed another knife between the steam pipe and the obelisk in the opposite direction - according to his idea, when the steam pipe bursts, he can push the tip of the knife to slam into the obelisk, triggering the circle. All I need is a quick evacuation to the hall before this happens.
Grabbing the flooded shield, the mad dog with the steam in his ears pulled out his legs and galloped out of the room.
Trying her best to speed up her legs, Cereya sprinted straight out of the tunnel and sprinted towards the open hall instead.
The knight and Lusha had apparently arrived for a long time, and the latter had even sat on the ground. Stepping into the hall with a sharp stop, Mad Dog let out a long breath: it was finally too late.
Before he could take any breath, a fierce dark light emerged from the icy depths of the floor. After a brief loss of consciousness, the mad dog suddenly opened his eyes: what appeared in front of him was the woods from which he had come.
"Damn, I'm finally back......" Ceresya let out a long breath and leaned against a tree, "It's really exhausting this trip." ”
"Isn't it because you've made a mistake?" the knight sighed and stared at the obelisk, "Anyway, don't touch this thing again...... I was in too much of a hurry to ask Lucina if she could destroy it. ”
"Count on her? I think that's enough. Mad Dog frowned, "And we won't see Lucina for a while." Can't you, the Templar, think of a way to disarm this teleportation circle?"
"You are omnipotent as a Templar?" Anusn frowned and took the shield thrown by the mad dog, "What was just discovered on this trip...... Far beyond my expectations. ”
"Nonsense. A gust of cold wind hit, and the mad dog hurriedly tightened his coat: "Dragon knight, strange teleportation circle, nether iron shield...... It's all good news. It's all because someone is here to give Eternal Winter important information. ”
"You mean I have to thank you?" the knight stomped, and the snow fell from his boot.
"Of course you have to thank me. Seresa coughed dryly, and cheekily announced, "Let's not say anything else - is this shield a shocking treasure? It's yours now, thanks to my kick." How can you thank me?"
"Shall I give you a slap?" the knight glared at the mad dog, "and a large insulated flask." ”
"No, I need to be careful not to forget about it. Seresa grinned and patted her right waist, which was afraid of being empty: "I don't have a wine jug to carry, and I always don't know where to put my hand...... Wow, take it. ”
Drawing his sword, Mad Dog handed it to the knight, "Your arm will be fine in a moment, right? Just one hand shield and the other sword - I don't think there will be no Corruptors waiting for us in the outpost." ”
"Won't you be left without a weapon?" the knight hesitated for a moment, and took the weapon.
"I'm all weapons. Mad Dog knocked on the door of his head proudly: "Especially this one, it is very easy to use." ”
"Alright, don't show off your IQ. Putting the sword back into its scabbard, Anusen was silent for a moment and continued, "I was thinking...... We have just experienced the battle, and we have been reduced in numbers, should we retreat to the city first? ”
"What city to go back to? The information on the outpost's side will be delayed a lot if it is known one day later. Mad Dog leaned back and stared at the knight, "Otherwise, why do you think we chose to leave this morning?"
"But......" The knight raised his shield and hesitated, "Lusa, what do you think?"
"Huh?" Concentrating on pinching the ball, Lusa was inexplicably startled: "Ah, that ......"
"You see, I knew Lusha agreed with me. Deciding to strike first, Mad Dog coughed dryly and patted Aya on the head: "Right, kid?"
"That...... Well. Looking a little confused, Lutha nodded vaguely.
"You see, that's it. The mad dog laughed triumphantly, "Come on, knight, I have tied my horse to the side of the road, and we have some of them." ”
"She didn't hear our conversation at all, did she?" the knight sighed helplessly, "Besides, we do have horses...... What about Lusha?"
"Anyway, Aya has a small place, and whoever rides a horse is the same. Mad Dog narrowed his eyes and looked at Anusen, who was carrying his shield behind him: "Anyway, let's be more careful now." A single dragon knight almost killed us all, and if we ran into a bunch, wouldn't it be all over?"
"It's impossible for that class to meet a group. Even the Corruptor can't mass-produce. Taking out the map from his coat, the knight staring at it had a somewhat complicated expression: "I don't know how many ice dragons have been corrupted......"
"If you want to know so much, why don't you go to Ice Dragon Valley and have a look?" Mad Dog gave advice that he felt was unreliable.
"Are you stupid?" looked up, and the knight glared at him.
"I didn't say that. The mad dog coughed dryly, and a pang of hunger came from his belly; "Look slowly, I'm not hungry here...... You have to eat some dry food first. ”
Turning her back on the wind, Ceresya pulled out a thick biscuit and took a large bite nonchalantly. Nearly knocking out his teeth, the mad dog glared angrily at the dry food in his hand: this thing was as strong as iron.
Unwilling to lose to a mere cookie, he angrily took another big bite. Looking at the dry food in his hand that left no tooth marks at all, the mad dog sadly endured the sharp pain in his gums.
"his uncle, Lao Tzu won't eat it!" The mad dog struggled to throw it to the ground, and stomped on it several times in anger until it was buried deep in the snow: "Then the housekeeper will bring us this to eat?! Lao Tzu can't kill him when he goes back!"
"It's just that it's completely frozen and hard so you can't bite it, right?" The knight looked helplessly: "You didn't seal the dry food bag yourself, don't blame others." ”
Just as he wanted to complain a few more words, the pink dumplings were stuffed in front of Lusa: "Eat some?"
"Oh? no. After being stunned for less than two seconds, Mad Dog hurriedly refused: "You better keep it...... I'll just eat the knight's portion. ”
"Can't you make a little face?" the knight glared disapprovingly at the mad dog who approached with ill intentions, and slammed the bag of dry food into his hand, "Go to the side and eat." ”
Laughing and picking up a biscuit, the mad dog took a big bite in satisfaction. Just as he was about to sigh something, a strange sound of air friction suddenly came into his ears.
Instinctively, she drew her throwing knife, and Cereya threw it behind the voice that came from her.
The knives sprang aside, and in a moment they landed as if they had hit a transparent wall. At the same time, a javelin-like metal arrow appeared out of thin air and fell to the ground.
