Chapter 69: Holy Water
Seeing that Rui and Stan were silent, Barsorem continued to explain, "All five of us, except for Kremens, are already married, and although we didn't see the bodies of our wives in person, the reality tells us that they have no hope of surviving, and even so, we are still unwilling to give up the last hope, so we insist on staying in Sarah." With that, he patted Cremens beside him. "This kid also insisted on staying, and I tried to let him leave with the others. ”
Cremens bowed his head a little shyly, he looked very young, his immature face was full of life, and Rui even suspected that he was younger than Ness. "I'm an orphan with nothing, and if Barthorem hadn't taken me into the Order, I would have died of starvation, so I wouldn't have left Barthorem. ”
Rui straightened his posture and began to say with a serious face, "I advise you to leave Sara as soon as possible, there is a reason for the lump on your body, if you continue to stay here, sooner or later it will be the same as Herus." "And it's been two months, and you should have learned that there is no hope of finding your wife anymore, sorry, I know it's cruel to say that. ”
Barthorem and Kremence glanced at each other, and there was a clear hint of fear in the young warrior's eyes, believing that the changes in Herus had made him feel uneasy. "How do you know?" asked Barthorem, turning his head to look at Rui.
"Actually, we're here for this this time, and we're going to solve the source of this matter, in Dagger Mountain. Rui said slowly, "We also have to complete this task as soon as possible, and then stay away from here, otherwise we will be like you." ”
Basorem pondered, and while he wasn't sure if what Ray said was true, the lumps on his own and his companions' bodies forced him to believe that it was true. "Well, there is still a long way to get from here to Talheim, and it is not safe on the way, so let us escort you there, and when you are safe there, we can leave Sara with a clear conscience. ”
Ryan and Stan look at each other, unwilling to drag the tortured warrior into the water, but they also know that the Sarah's stubborn and stubborn personality will not easily change their decision.
Finally, Rui reluctantly moved his body. "All right, but please protect yourselves and don't sacrifice yourselves for us. ”
Basorem smiled, not directly agreeing to what Rui said. "Then it's decided, when are we leaving?"
"Tomorrow, if tomorrow the blizzard can stop. Ray suddenly thought of something very important. "I have one more question. ”
Basorem couldn't help but laugh, "You really have a lot of questions. ”
Rui didn't laugh along, still with a serious face. "Why does the water in the trap have a special effect on the dark tide? Even all of us can't kill the demon, but not long after he fell into the trap, he was swallowed by the water inside. ”
"You're really observant. Basorem took out a metal flat wine bottle from the cloth bag hanging from his waist, then opened the lid and carefully dripped a drop of liquid into his palm. "We poured a bottle of this into the water. ”
Ray and Stan looked carefully at the azure liquid in Barthorem's palm, and asked inexplicably, "Is this ......?"
"Holy water, the archmage who had been assisting the king in Asgard did not know how to create holy water shortly before the dark tide invaded Sarah. Basorem shook his head helplessly in the face of Ryan and Stan, who were looking at him in shock, "But only a small amount of holy water was made, and it couldn't stop the army of Dark Tide, and we only collected three bottles from our escaped companions along the way, and now there are only two bottles left." ”
Rui stood up noncommittally and began to pace back and forth. "Holy water, if this is holy water, maybe that's why the dark tide is striking Sarah. Rui stood still, looked at the crowd and said, "The Dark Tide will never allow something like holy water to exist in this world, so they will definitely invade Sara before the holy water becomes large, and then destroy all the holy water, preferably the recipe for preparing the holy water." ”
Manfred didn't leave any formula, and after the fall of Asgard, he disappeared with the king, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive. After Basorem finished speaking, he realized that he had inadvertently told a secret, and he looked at Rui's questioning expression and continued, "Manfred is a great sage from the Mage Tower, and he has been helping King Urel to study ways to resist the dark tide, which is a secret that only a few high-ranking officers know, and I am not qualified to know, but I have the honor of being sent as Manfred's escort to accompany him through the northern border, just a little north of Talheim, so I know a little bit about it. ”
"Mage Tower, why is the Mage Tower so powerful? Stan begins to get bored with the word Mage's Tower.
Rui thought for a moment, but couldn't figure anything out. "Manfred? I really want to meet up with Fern soon, Ness should know better. ”
"Alright, with all that said, let's eat something. Basorem himself first served a plate of boiled taro. "We haven't eaten meat for a long time, and it's hard to catch small animals in winter, and even if we do, we don't dare to eat them, their skin is festering...... If we stay here, we will end up in the same way. ”
"Yes, so when you get to Talheim, leave Sara as soon as you can. Ray pulls his own cutlery out of Stan's package and pulls out a teapot and some tea leaves. "Burn some hot tea, I'm sure you haven't had it in a long time. ”
Stan also pulls some hard jerky out of the package and throws it into the pot. "We also have some meat, so let's eat it together if you don't mind. ”
Cremens stared straight at the jerky in the pot and swallowed his saliva. Basorem nudged him with his elbow, and the young warrior smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, it's been a long time since I've eaten meat. ”
Both Ray and Stan smiled kindly, admiring the warriors even more.
"By the way, Stan, are you Sara too?" Stan's generosity makes Cremens grateful to him.
Stan hesitates to stop his movements, and the knight tore the last piece of jerky into the pot. "No, I'm Doyle. With that, Stan stared at the boiling jerky in silence and didn't say anything more.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and finally it was Basorem who broke the silence. "Even if Doyle comes to the rescue, it will not help, on the contrary, the losses will be greater, or many Ils will fall, and no one will be able to defeat the dragons. ”
"No, it's one thing to win or not, it's another ......thing to have a rescue," Stan straightened up, halfway through his sentence, when Rui pressed his hand on his shoulder.
"Didn't you say I wasn't like Sarah, and did you use me to prove it?" Ryan glanced at Stan and immediately diverted the subject.
"No need, your accent says it all. Basorem said with a smile. "And I can even tell you're a Skurd. ”
"How do you know?" Rui's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the warrior opposite.
"Because I grew up in Skuld, I didn't expect that, maybe we saw each other when we were kids. Barthorem smiled unnaturally, but the mage didn't see it.
"Do you know a boy named Loveville? or ...... Rockville ......" Rui straightened up, his expression slightly embarrassed. "Sorry, I can't remember his name. ”
"No, sorry, I haven't heard of that name, maybe it's from another group of playmates. Basorem lowered his head and looked indifferently at the knife in his hand.
Rui sighed in disappointment, and his straightened body fell shorter again.
At this time, the other two warriors also returned to the fire, and Endman set aside a palm-sized snowdrop, raising his chin to smell the fragrance wafting from the pot. "It's ...... The taste of meat? Basorem, you must be honest with me, do we have meat to eat today?"
Basorem and Kremence burst out laughing. "You guessed it right, these two friends provided it, thank you. ”
Endman gave the two of them a Sarah military salute, his right hand raised parallel to his chest, and nodded slightly in acknowledgement. "Thank you, praise Ural. ”
Tillin, who was standing on the side, also gave a military salute to the two of them, then sat down on the ground, and said to Endman with some disdain. "Praise Ulral, where was he when Asgard fell? There is no news until now, and we insignificant soldiers are really not worth his attention. ”
"Tirin!" Barthorem scolded, and Tirin immediately stopped complaining. "Okay, let's eat, I'm already hungry, it's a big meal today. ”
Everyone devoured it, and in the treacherous realm of Sarah, any dinner could be their last, and everyone knew it in their hearts.
