【Chapter 7】Section 8 above the undercurrent

Evelyn half-crouched down, her eyes slightly closed, her fingertips touching the ground, and to her surprise, there was no movement for a hundred miles.

"Strange. Evelyn sighed.

"What's wrong?" Terami straightened his arm, and for a moment his eyebrows and nose seemed to be twisted together.

Seeing this, Evelyn said, "Are you okay?"

Tellami moved his right arm and nodded. "It's all right, you go on. ”

"How long has it been since that thing was so big? I couldn't even see it...... Like ...... Missing the same. Evelyn said solemnly, "It speaks the lingua franca." ”

"And it also has a language that we don't know. Terami took over, the concussive pain in his left arm lingering, and the terrifying power was engraved on his heart like an imprint. "He's a guy who's well above the level of a third-tier rating, at least in terms of strength. ”

"So those guys are its kind? similar at first glance, but very different. Those idiots have no brains!" Terami shuddered at the sight of the pile of "corpses" that had almost turned to ashes.

Evelyn had no choice but to give up and stand up, only a churn in her body, a sweet mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Ahem......" Evelyn hurriedly wiped the blood from her mouth, but Tellami noticed this and was about to speak, she hurriedly said, "I'm afraid it hurt me just now." ”

Evelyn moved over to the charred corpse and leaned down again, as if searching for something. The smell of the monsters' flesh being burned was particularly pungent, and it made the leaning elves hold their breath.

"What are you looking for?"

"It's all burnt, and it looks like I can't find what I'm looking for in these things. But...... I do have an idea about the 'orcs'......" Evelyn kept her distance from the pile of corpses after giving up the search. The flesh and skin had long since been burned, and the skeleton had somehow been corroded to the point that it could not be seen.

"Tell me about it. "Terami said.

"Perhaps, like elves, there are high elves and lower elves. Evelyn said, "I guess the orcs I killed are not fully evolved, and they don't have the same fighting power as the green-skinned orc. Although it seems to have a power to be reckoned with, as you can see, I'm afraid that a mid-level and above-level warrior can handle these things. Not the same with the orc, I mean the way he fights. Evelyn looked down thoughtfully, the pain in her lower abdomen forcing her to cover it with her hands.

Terami recalled the time when the two joined forces to attack, and sneered, "A reckless brute. I don't know how to avoid the opponent's attack, I just care about brute force, heh, if this is also a brain......"

"But as a result, he fled, right under my noses. Evelyn interrupted, "I believe he realized that he couldn't defeat us with one against two, and he wasn't prepared to fight from the start. There may be some reason for this......"

At this point, Terami laughed dumbly. According to Evelyn's analysis, the monster may not have thought of fighting, and his goal was only to buy a certain amount of time, not too long, just enough for him to escape into the jungle. Two ultimate masters, two Sage-level powerhouses, even a dragon knight can't be said to win, let alone a "beast"?

"Take advantage of your strengths to the extreme, achieve your goal perfectly, and pay the price of a sword wound in the process......" Evelyn said in a deep voice, "We ...... Underestimate him!"

"So...... He was the first to burn the corpses of his companions?" Terami suddenly came to his senses, and his body shuddered violently—he had wanted to investigate the remains of the monster, but just as he was about to act, he remembered that the elves around him had already done this. "Highly intelligent species, damn it, I don't want to admit it!" Teramy scolded.

Evelyn didn't answer, and a feeling of fear arose: maybe that guy didn't have the strength to fight, just to avoid leaving any clues?

Recalling the contents of the meeting table in the main hall of the Temple of Glory, the existence of this creature was mentioned at that time. As if she had noticed something, Evelyn hurried to the spot where the human corpses were piled up. She opened the outermost one, and the horrific sight came to her eyes—

The body's chest cavity was completely hollowed out, and the white bones were faintly discernible under the blur of flesh and blood.

"May the Light protect her!" Evelyn said, covering her mouth and nose.

Evelyn then opened several more bodies, her chest equally empty, the edges of the wounds marked by blunt objects or claws.

"It seems that they feed on human entrails, and these poor Lonelans ......," Evelyn said, "and it seems that such 'slaughter' is for the sake of survival, and perhaps the number of orcs is growing rapidly." I think we'll need to find their hiding place as soon as possible, and if we let these monsters run rampant, that's when the problem will be very tricky. ”

Terami nodded and agreed, "Then we'll have to pick up the pace." If you get the help of Atlantis City, I believe it will be solved soon. ”

The two men then mounted their horses and continued in the direction of Atlantis City.

......

"Why do they look at me like that?"

In the room of the Heir of the Holy Eagle Academy, Claude was still haunted by what was going on in the hall.

Luo looked relaxed and admired the uniform he had just received, and said, "I think about it too much, there is nothing to do." Hurry up and change it up, you've been looking forward to this outfit for a long time, right?"

Claude pouted, looked at Lo suspiciously, and then at the uniform in his hand. The superfluous words were not spoken, and he had to secretly comfort himself that maybe as Luo said, he just thought about it too much.

Lowe quickly changed into his outfit, and the leather armor was tied around his wrists and body, making him look unusually energetic. The elf eagerly put on his cloak, slung the bow on his back, and asked Claude with repeated self-appreciation, "What does it look like?"

Claude had to admit that the High Elves were indeed a race blessed by the gods, and the perfect proportions were incomparable under the decoration of slim leather armor.

"Looks cool. Claude smiled.

In comparison, Claude is still young, and this outfit is still like a child's clothes on him. Looking at Luo's appearance, for some reason, Claude unconsciously recalled the scene he saw in the holy water, the red-haired swordsman who fought the evil dragon in a heroic manner.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" said Lowe, knocking on the table.

"Ah...... No, nothing. Claude smiled and said, "I'm thinking...... How to spend these days of leisure time. ”

Luo thought for a moment, and then proposed, "We can go to the Chamber of Commerce and take a look, the dwarves' workshops and wandering merchants are all there. There are a lot of nice things out there, weapons, pets, magic books...... The atmosphere there is much more relaxed than in the academy. ”

Lowe's personality made him seem more relatable, and after a short time together, Claude gradually eliminated the estrangement in his heart.

"I've heard of a man named Tereshi, Brother Allen...... It was a Lonellan I knew who asked him if he had bought something. Claude answered, "Do you know this man?"

"Treshi......" Lo folded his arms and shook his head helplessly, "I don't know...... And your brother Allen asked him what he bought?"

Claude looked back at the ceiling above him and replied, "It seems to be ...... A potion that I remember for its sleep-inducing effect. ”

Luo was weaker than he could think, but that expression was fleeting and replaced by a smile. He took Claude's hand and urged, "Well, that's not what I call 'fun'. Let's go, let's see. ”

"Now?"

"Yes, now. ”
