Chapter 6 After the Otaku Hero Saves Beauty
Perhaps because he cowardly chose death in his previous life, Ian, who has been reborn in this life, is extremely cautious about life!
People who have died once are either more indifferent to death than others, or they are more afraid of death than others. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ian belongs to the latter group, and he is afraid of death, whether it is his own or someone else's.
Seeing that the girl who was unconscious in his arms was not breathing, Ian, who knew that something was wrong, did not hesitate to pull out a light green potion from the small bag on his waist, bite the plug, pry open the girl's mouth and poured it in.
This is a special stamina potion that Ian took out of his pharmacy. Due to his frequent visits to and from the circle, Ian always had three of these first-aid potions in his pocket, as well as some powders that could be used to apply wounds.
Although such an elixir may not have the miraculous effect of instantly reviving a dying person as soon as it is poured into the HP potion in an online game or the holy water in a novel, it does have the outstanding effect of quickly replenishing the body's functions as a special product of my own mother.
He carefully lifted the girl's upper body so that the medicine could flow down her esophagus more quickly so that it could be absorbed by the body and exert its effects. When it was confirmed that the girl who had almost died of exhaustion gradually recovered, she held the sword in her right hand and swung it, and the invisible air blade accompanied by the screaming sound of the atmosphere being torn apart suddenly cut a smooth fracture in the protruding rock not far away.
He placed the girl on the freshly cut stone bed, and for the first time began to face the girl he had saved.
Her long cherry hair was stained with mud and sand, her soft and serene face was still stained with tears, and her clothes were full of stains and tiny cracks, from which a faint red and black color seeped through. Even if this girl looks extremely embarrassed now, it is still undeniable that this is a girl who exudes a faint intellectual beauty.
Looking at the girl in front of him who thought she had completed the task of asking for help and fell asleep peacefully, a wry smile hung on the corner of Ian's mouth.
In fact, when the girl desperately conveyed a distress signal to her before she fell unconscious, Ian had already raised his consciousness as he had done when he broke through three days ago, looking north as much as possible.
However, the Purgatory Wasteland was so huge that he couldn't find the team that the girl said needed to be rescued.
Ian only felt that he wanted to cry without tears, and he was just out looking for Fei'er, and not long after he came out, he found that the girl with cherry blossoms was being hunted by a group of inferior demons.
At this time, he was no longer the little white who regarded the black fog troll as an inferior demon a year ago, and he gritted his teeth for a long time about Fei'er's inhumane fraud, but he didn't dare to have an opinion after all.
In the spirit of saving the life and helping the wounded, he resolutely took action and easily cut down the group of demons. However, just when he thought that the matter had been satisfactorily settled, he heard from the girl a more troublesome news that he could not help but pay attention to.
She had come to ask for help, and her companion was trapped in the northγγγγγγ
Hell, God knows exactly where this girl is pointing to the north?
Thinking that he would spend the whole day on this matter today, a wry smile appeared on Ian's lips.
γγγγγγ
An hour and a half later, it seemed that the medicine had taken effect.
Camilla frowned as if she was in a nightmare, and slowly opened her eyes.
As soon as she woke up, the girl found herself lying on her side on a smooth boulder. A man in a black trench coat and hood sat with his back to her, leaning down and patting her face with his hand.
Seeing her slowly open her eyes and come over, the man in black asked with a little joy, "Are you awake?"
"Who are you, and what about the knight who saved me? What do you want to do to me?"
With an exclamation, the girl who came to her senses in an instant hurriedly moved back vigilantly, shrunk her shoulders, and folded her hands tightly to cover her chest.
Who is this suspicious guy, the knight of the overseas exploration team who saved me before, could it be that this guy saved me?
Camilla was on guard, and at the same time sneaked a look at the man in black in front of her, who seemed to be slightly stiff.
"Impossible, impossible, impossible!" the girl desperately denied in her heart: "The one who saved me should obviously be the knight of the overseas exploration team! Although the voice sounds a little similar, it is absolutely impossible to be this suspicious guy who ran outside the circle and covered his face with a hood in black!"
"Wait, could it be that this guy is an overseas outcast, or a member of the Black Balance Society!" The girl who had always thought that the overseas exploration team had saved her shook her head again and again, and two terrible guesses popped up in her mind.
She always remembered that her instructor had said that she must be careful of the outcasts and members of the Black Balance Society outside the circle.
The former are the most vicious and their descendants who have been exiled to fend for themselves because they have committed great mistakes. It is said that most of them relied on the fragments of source crystals found outside the circle to make small mental image sealing formations and live in hiding. From time to time, he attacks those who are exhausted after fighting demons outside the circle, and use them to gain resources.
As for the latter, they are the greatest cancer of human society, the most terrible terrorists, a group of thugs who often wear black robes, who were originally splintered from the Balance Society, which advocated the integration of criminals into modern society and coexisted with the citizens of the empire on an equal footing.
They believe that the sinners are the noble race that should truly rule the world, and they spare no effort to destroy the stability and order of the existing society. The instructor of the lecture called them crazy, because these terrorists could almost be said to be acting with the idea of dragging all mankind to hell: if you can't get it, you will destroy it!
Camilla, who thought of this, looked at Ian's pitch-black outfit and felt that her whole body couldn't stop shaking, and she couldn't help but move her body back a little more.
At this moment, she would never know that this man in black, who was regarded as a homeless person and a terrorist in her eyes, had already had 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart!
Ian, who didn't realize how terrifying his image and the actions just now were for a girl, only felt that he had been frozen like the world in front of him, although he was a homebody, but of course he would not be naΓ―ve enough to think that the girl in reality would promise him after being rescued, and throw himself into his arms.
But the basic goodwill has increased greatly, and there should always be a way to express gratitude, right?
But what does this mean?
This weak and helpless poor girl covered her chest with her hands, trembling all over, and kept moving back, her trembling eyes looked like the little white rabbit was watching the big bad wolf, and the little Lori was wary of the strange uncleγγγγγγ
Ian, who was deeply shocked, sighed, and he suddenly felt that at this time, if he didn't resolve the misunderstanding in front of him with a strong attitude, then let alone let this girl help guide and save people, I am afraid that she would shout at anyone she met now: "Uncle Police!"
He withdrew his slightly stiff hand, stood up and turned around, wanting to let the girl in front of him understand the situation. But it's a pity that this action obviously stimulates the restless little rabbit. I saw that Camilla, who saw the suspicious person turn around, suddenly opened her left palm in front of her.
"Wait, what are you going to do? Don't come here!"
"Bondage!"
As the girl shouted, Ian felt a force that was invisible to the naked eye, but could be perceived by his consciousness, slowly approaching him.
Is this the power of the mind of the girl in front of him? Knowing the power of the mind for the second time in his life, and the first time he was able to carefully observe the power of the mind, Ian watched with interest at this scene that was difficult for mortals to see.
The power flowed out of the girl's body, turning into invisible chains around Ian's body, and little by little they moved closer to the middle, binding them. Although the speed of the chain is slow from Ian's point of view, it can be easily dodged. But after three days of delay, Ian is now quite sensitive to speed. He knew that it was absolutely impossible for ordinary people, and even most of those who had been trained in combat, to dodge.
Seeing that the chain was about to touch him, Ian, who was about to dodge, suddenly let out a soft groan from the long sword at his waist. The incomparably sharp sword intent spread out from the sword body, easily shattering all the chains.
The heart seemed to be shattered, and Camilla felt a sharp pain in her head, as if it had been pierced by a sharp blade, she exclaimed, hugged her head, and hurriedly wanted to get up and run away, away from this dangerous guy who could destroy even the formless and insubstantial mental image.
Ian, who didn't have time to be surprised that his long sword would take the initiative to protect the master, quickly stretched out his right hand and covered the top of the girl's head.
Camilla felt a strong force coming from her head, and as soon as she got up, she was pressed back to the ground. Then a familiar low, but somewhat vicious voice rang in my ears.
"Listen, girl! There's no such thing as the knight of the Overseas Exploration Team you wanted, and I'm the one who just rescued you! And if I want to do you any good, I have a chance to mess with you when you pass out just now!"
Speaking of this, seeing that the girl was a little quieter, he gradually increased the speed of his speech.
"Also, aren't you here to ask for help? Before you passed out, you didn't even speak clearly, and I couldn't tell where you were referring to the north, how many people were waiting for rescue, and what was the situation?
I don't know if this vicious tone had an effect, and the girl in front of Ian seemed to be suddenly connected to a string that had been broken before.
"Ah, please! Yes, the teacher and the senior sister are waiting for me to find someone to save them!" Camilla suddenly exclaimed, and grabbed Ian's clothes excitedly, completely forgetting how scared she was of the man in front of her, "I am a student of Albert College of Higher Education for an out-of-circle trial, our trial team has been attacked by a large number of demons, and now the surviving mentor and several seniors are defending with a cave in the Dragon's Sleep Valley! They've been trapped all night, please, help me get help from the Explorators and the Greatwall Defenders of the North......!
Ian suddenly interrupted, "Wait, when did you leave?"
"Alas" Camilla was stunned: "Last night, it was probably just around midnight"
"According to you, you've been separated for most of the night, are you sure they're still alive?"
The girl, who had not considered it at all, or did not want to think about this possibility at all, shouted, "It must be alive! The teacher and the senior sister must still be alive! We are taking turns guarding the entrance of the cave, and they will definitely survive until now!"
"But it may not be able to survive the rescue sent by the overseas exploration team or the defenders of the Northern Regions!" Ian ruthlessly shattered the girl's illusions: "And the overseas exploration team or the defenders of the Northern Regions will not necessarily send a rescue team!"
"How so? they..."
"I know better than you what kind of virtue they are! Tell me where the Longmian Valley is, where is it, where are the specific directions, how many demons are there, and how many people are still alive before you go?"
Shamefully, Ian, who thought he was familiar with the Purgatory Wasteland, heard the name of the place and searched for a long time in his mind to find that he had no idea that such a place existed. If it weren't for human life, this original otaku would definitely be ashamed to ask about it.
But he really can't be blamed for this, he has always been thrown directly into the depths of the purgatory wasteland by Fei'er, in fact, in a sense, it is really the first time to set foot on the periphery of the wasteland.
"Huh, it's a lie, how could you not have heard of the Dragon's Sleep Valley on the outskirts of the Purgatory Wasteland outside the circle. Camilla, who heard Ian's question, suddenly showed a look of disbelief, she didn't answer immediately, thinking that this guy in front of her was really not a good person, he must have deliberately said that he didn't know so that he could follow him!
Seeing that this cherry-haired girl showed a vigilant expression again, Ian suddenly felt that one head and two were big, as a former otaku who was already not sociable, he really couldn't imagine what this girl was thinking about. He sighed secretly and softened his voice as softly as he could, "I'm sorry, I really don't know where the Longmian Valley is. β
After a pause, Ian, who suddenly realized his current appearance, shook his hand lightly and emptied the potion bottle, and continued: "I may look suspicious in your eyes, but I really have no ill will towards you. β
Then, without waiting for the girl to reply, Ian pointed to the spire on the giant wall next to the guide: "Although you can already see the giant wall from here, you still have to walk a long way if you actually walk." Even if I send you there at full speed, even if they send a rescue team, according to the distance you described before, they will definitely not be able to reach the rescue point before nightfall!"
He looked back, "Do you think your companions will survive until nightfall?"
After hearing Ian's words, Camilla, knowing that what he said was true, suddenly despaired, and she reluctantly asked, "But even if you can catch it before that, what can you do? The entrance of the cave is surrounded by thousands of inferior and inferior demons, not to mention the existence of multiple intermediate demons, and it is impossible for you to save them alone." β
Confirming that the number of demons was still within the range of what he could handle, the corners of Ian's mouth rose slightly: "Do you want to gamble? Bet on whether I can do it." β
"I won't bet the lives of my mentor and senior sister!" Camilla said angrily.
"But you don't have any other choice, do you?"
Camilla, who knew that the other party was right, flashed a trace of unwilling annoyance in her eyes.
"Why?" she asked, looking directly at the incomparably hateful man in black in front of her, "Why are you so eager to save my companion?"
Adam, who finally realized that it was his overly positive attitude that caused the girl's vigilance, suddenly burst into tears and laughter.
How did you come to this world where wanting to do good deeds can also make people suspicious?
He sorted out his unbearable mood and looked directly at the girl in front of him.
"I'm afraid of death!" Ian replied blandly, "Because I died once!"
"What?"
"It's like you're disgusted to bet on someone else's life. I am equally averse to joking about other people's lives and deaths. β
Hearing the heaviness in the other party's tone, Camilla fell silent.
After a long time, she stared closely at the suspicious man in front of her, who was suspected to be a member of the Black Balance Society, and opened her mouth.
"I still can't believe you...... But, as you say, I have no other choice!"
Ian, who thought that he had failed in persuasion, was relieved when he heard the second half of the girl's words.
He smiled bitterly in his heart: How can it be so easy to persuade others when other traversers are angry, and when it is their turn, they have to be coaxed and deceived?
After a little hesitation, Ian, who was afraid of stimulating the girl, finally didn't dare to hug it, but carried the girl behind him, and carefully wrapped his arms around the girl's knees: "Hold on, Miss! Time is tight, I will increase the speed slightly, maybe the wind pressure will be stronger, lower your head a little." β
"yes, I see. Also, don't call me Miss, my name is Camilla. β
"Okay, then you can call me Black" Ian smiled bitterly, "I'm going to trouble you to show the way, Camilla." β
"Well, why is it such a strange name? β
Although he knew that it was impossible for the other party to tell him his real name, this strange title still made the girl can't help but complain.
"Perhapsβ" Ian thought with a wry smile.
"It's because my face is darker!"
