Russell used the gap between the battle to treat wounds, stop bleeding, and restore mana through meditation, he probably killed more than seventy monsters in the battle just now, most of them were at the level of sheep's head crocodile, and the blood under his feet was already flowing, but Russell is not a little white who doesn't know anything like Lucia, there are not only sheep's head crocodile level monsters in the abyss, in fact, the former is not in the abyss at all, and their location has now been exposed, and then there will be a steady stream of monsters coming here, in other words, the two are now in a very dangerous situation。

Lucia wanted to use the remaining water to help Russell clean his wounds, but Russell refused, and the dean of academic affairs now regretted it a little, he didn't pay much attention to what happened in the Malkan Desert before, and he didn't do enough preparations, mainly because he didn't expect to fall into such a bitter battle, and he didn't bring a bottle of healing potions like healing, so he couldn't last long.

The sorceress seemed to want to say something, but her parched lips opened and she finally said nothing.

The sun was sinking towards the horizon, and the red sun looked a little blurry and faintly bloody because of the abyss's invasion of the area.

Russell closed his eyes under the sand dunes, and after a moment suddenly spoke, "There's a problem. ”

"Huh?" Lucia looked dazed, "What's the problem?"

"The reaction of the temple is a bit strange this time, those guys are very sensitive to the appearance of evil creatures, as far as I know, the church has a lot of holy weapons that can detect evil, the last time the crack appeared in the uninhabited area at the southwest end of the temple, it can't hide the eyes of the temple, compared to the Malgan desert is not too remote, there are often caravans passing by before the incident, but in this year's time, the nearby churches have not responded at all. There was a hint of concern in the dean's tone.

"Ah, Archmage Russell, do you think this rift has something to do with the temple?" the sorceress blinked.

"Just call me Russell. The dean waved his hand and said his inference, "It is unlikely that the temple and the abyss will collude, the foundation of the church lies in hundreds of millions of believers, which determines that it is impossible to betray human beings, not to mention that the creatures in the abyss have no reason at all, and there is only a pure desire to kill in their souls, people have tried before and found that they can't communicate at all, but the attitude of the church is indeed a little unusual, and what is likely to happen outside." ”

"You're amazing, you can see so much from here. Lucia praised from the bottom of his heart, and then lowered his head, a little discouraged, "I can't, I can't do anything except do research, my parents always scolded me for being stupid when I was a child, and I was still stupid when I grew up, and some people in school said that I would only do experiments, by the way, your academics are also very good, I read your "A Treatise on the Influence of the Environment on Warcraft", it was really well written, and it answered a lot of my previous confusion, knowing that I was excited and nervous to partner with you this time, and I didn't sleep all night, but ...... It seems that it is still holding you back. The sorceress was depressed at the end.

Russell listened quietly to Lucia's words, then looked into the latter's eyes and said, "Do you have someone you like?"

The sorceress opened her mouth like a goldfish in a fish bowl, and a circle of blush quickly faded from her neck, and her performance made Russell immediately realize that the other party had misunderstood her words.

The dean of academic affairs was worried that the sorceress would be discouraged and give up hope of survival, so he used this question to remind her of her beloved, so as to find a reason to continue fighting.

But I didn't expect Lucia to really concentrate on studying academics to such an extent, not only did he not get married in his thirties, but he didn't even have anyone he liked.

The sorceress was frightened by this sudden "confession" and was short of breath, panting, and her eyes inadvertently met Russell's, and Lucia suddenly jumped up from the ground like a frightened little white rabbit, and said incoherently, "I, I...... I'll go to the alert. ”

Russell didn't explain either, it wasn't certain that he couldn't see tomorrow's sun in this situation, there was no point in dwelling on such a trivial matter, and after five minutes, his eyes sank, and the familiar vibration reappeared.

The Dean of Academic Affairs said to the sorceress, "Old practice, I'll leave my back to you. ”

Lucia also knew that it was now an existential crisis, and gritted her teeth and said, "I will work hard to prevent those monsters from hurting you!"

This time the battle lasted for a long time, and in the end even the female magician hung up, the calf bone was broken by a hellish porcupine that suddenly came out of his feet, Russell's physical condition was even worse, except for the wound in his lower abdomen, half of his arm was destroyed, and he handed the staff to his left hand, but in reality it was useless, because his mana was on the verge of depletion.

The two of them sat back-to-back on top of the dunes, and before they could catch their breath, the third wave of tremors had already arrived, barely between this time and the last.

With such a dense attack, it was impossible for the two of them to deal with the injuries they were recovering from, Lucia inhaled cold air and turned pale, "We're really going to die this time, right?"

"Well, are you scared?"

"I always thought I was scared, but now I don't seem to be so scared. The sorceress looked at the approaching sand and shuddered, "That ......"

"Huh?"

"I thought about it, I can't promise you yet, although I admire you very much, we haven't officially gotten along, so it's too hasty. ”

Russell snorted.

"You...... You're not angry, are you?" said the sorceress cautiously after a while.

The dean of academic affairs couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but on the surface, he still maintained a serious and said, "It's a little, but it's not too serious." ”

Lucia wanted to say something, but the next moment the dust kicked up by the monster had already rushed under the dunes, Russell's eyes were calm, as the Big Three of the Royal Academy of Magic of Tees, he had experienced more than most people, so he could only maintain his demeanor at the last moment of his life, on the other hand, the female magician, okay...... Lucia was still struggling with the previous "confession" at this time, which made her a little absent-minded in the face of death.

But then she heard a soft sigh from Russell.

The scene in front of me seemed to be paused, and the monsters with fierce lights in their eyes suddenly froze, and then they seemed to be ploughed by an invisible giant scythe, and their muscular bodies split in two without warning, turning into a cloud of blood mist, all of which happened so fast that the battle was over before Lucia could even react.

Then a figure appeared in front of her, it was a young man, who looked to be in his early twenties, holding a staff with a unique shape, but the female magician did not feel any magic fluctuations in the other person's body, which surprised Lucia.
