Chapter 256: The Wild West
Wade and Cassel just complained about changing clothes again, but Artoria frowned, silently bowed her head as if thinking about something, and after a moment suddenly said something that surprised everyone: "Louie, I can't feel my magic." ”
"......" Louis didn't say anything, in fact, he also felt something abnormal, Artoria's words only proved the situation: "I can't feel the presence of the Force, neither in my own body nor in the outside world. ”
Everyone realizes that the situation is bad, and Kara also says that she can't feel the energy stored in her body, but there is nothing abnormal other than that.
Lingdie found that she couldn't use superpowers, and when she didn't usually use superpowers, she was no different from ordinary people, and if it weren't for the fact that her partners had said something abnormal, she might not notice the problem until the time of the battle.
"Oh, it's a big problem. Wade was also looking at the new outfit in his bag and found that it contained all the western cowboy gear: jeans, boots, and even an old-fashioned revolver.
Originally, he thought that this kind of costume corresponded to nothing more than the plot of an old Western, and there was really nothing to worry about, but then he heard such bad news - the super buddies around him have become buddies: "So you have become ordinary people now, right? Can you only rely on me next? The title of this chapter is Wade Wilson, Killing the Quartet!"
"It's not that bad. Louis casually broke it on the wooden table, and easily broke off the wooden table: "My physical fitness is still there." ”
"Okay, super buddies are still super buddies, but they're a little weaker. ”
Artoria also tested her strength and determined her physical fitness - when she was first summoned, Artoria was still at the human level, and she was able to display combat power beyond mortals, mainly enhanced by magic, and practiced that enhanced magic into almost instinct.
After becoming a brave man, Artoria's physical fitness has been greatly improved, and she has long surpassed the human level, and now even if there is no magic enhancement, Artoria's strength is not something that ordinary people can compete with.
There is also Kara in a similar situation, even if she can't feel the existence of energy in her body, and there is no way to release heat rays to kill people with her eyes, but her physical fitness has not been erased, and she is still the powerful super girl (under normal circumstances, if the energy in her body disappears, Supergirl will become weak, here is a special case).
"Is there any bad news?" Cassel looked at the people around him, here his combat power should be the weakest, and he is also the one who needs everyone's protection the most, after the partners become weaker, the most dangerous thing is not actually these people who have become weaker, but him as an ordinary person.
No matter how weak these partners are, they all have the ability to protect themselves, but they can't protect others as easily as they used to.
"Yes!" Louis raised his left hand, and everyone here had a good sense of observation, and quickly realized that Louie's watch was gone.
"Watches?"
When Louie explains that it was actually a storage item, everyone realizes how troublesome the situation is: their superpowers have been suppressed, the storage items have disappeared, they have lost more supplies, and only the food and water they have left with them.
"If it's worse, it's just these things that have been replaced, can't they be taken out of this room?" After several similar situations, Kassel tried to open the broken wooden door. As he expected, the wooden door, which looked like it could be kicked into pieces with a single kick, did not move no matter how hard he tried: "We are only allowed to leave with the contents of that bag." If that's the case, I'd recommend resting here first and then leaving when you're full. ”
Everyone agreed with Kassel's suggestion and began to change clothes.
There was no need for Louie to use the Force to create a makeshift locker room this time, this wooden house had other rooms, and although they were tattered and smelly, there was no problem with acting as a temporary locker room.
The men were outside changing their clothes, sorting out and counting the supplies they had at hand.
Louis seemed silent, and his mind kept thinking about what the situation was now: directly make them lose their strength, but in that case, why not deprive a few people of their strong physical fitness?
"Maybe it's not that I don't want to, but I can't do it?"
He had already changed his clothes, a rough suit and pants with cowboy boots, a holster on his belt, an old-fashioned revolver with a holster in it, and an ammunition pouch on his belt, in which scattered bullets were placed.
Coupled with cowboy hats, several people present instantly transformed from heavily armed soldiers to western cowboys, and unlike Louis and Wade, who were just jackets, Kassel's jacket was actually a brown woolen trench coat, which was ......
"Oh, hello, Captain. "Louie looked at this person's appearance and remembered 'his' other character.
"......" Cassel's face was speechless, he smiled awkwardly and carefully arranged his clothes and pants, he felt that this suit seemed to be a little tight, maybe he should eat less for a while?
Several women also changed their clothes, nothing special, not much different from several men in the decoration of clothes, and did not design special outfits such as hot pants, high-heeled boots, and crop tops because these were women.
"If the world is like a game, why should the clothes be prepared so realistically, isn't it good to be a little special?"
Resisting the backpack containing the food, Wade complained about the clothes of several women as he prepared to try to open the door, only to find that the situation was the same as Cassell's guess, and they couldn't open the door when they carried the food.
Wade and Cassel then tried various methods, and after finally determining that there was no way to take the food away, they returned to the house to prepare for a rest, and had a full meal before setting off.
By the way, pour clean water into the newly prepared old-fashioned kettle and water bag.
After all this, the rest of the food had to be discarded, and when they left the wooden house about a hundred meters behind, the wooden house behind them suddenly exploded, turning into flying ash in the speechless eyes of everyone - not even sawdust was left.
"Where should I go next?"
"I don't think we need to worry about it at all. "Wade isn't as worried about not knowing which direction to go as much as Kara does. Standing in place and looking around, although no matter which direction you look, it is a desert scene, and it seems to be a continuous mountain range in the distance, but he doesn't know exactly which mountain: "Anyway, it won't be long before a clue or NPC will appear and point us in the direction." ”
Less than a minute after Wade finished speaking, a cowboy on a horse appeared in the distance, and no more, no less, six additional horses, quickly approached the crowd.
Although it was far away, Louie could see clearly with his strong eyesight, and the person who was approaching him and the others quickly was a cowgirl with curly blond hair.
The cowgirl obviously came towards everyone, and began to slow down when she approached Louie and the others, and finally stopped steadily in front of Louie, and the horses she brought with her also stopped obediently.
"Which of you is Louie?" the blonde cowgirl sat on her horse and condescendingly observed the crowd, frowning slightly when she saw that it was a combination of three men and three women, several of whom were still thin and tender.
"I am. ”
"I'm Ellen the Sheriff of Paradise, and while I'm glad to see you get rid of those bandits, writing to your employer to come to the rescue doesn't look like a proper bounty hunter. Ellen the cowgirl pointed to the empty horses next to her: "The money for the horses will be deducted from your commission." ”
"No problem. Louis and everyone looked at it, and everyone didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, for fear of causing a bad reaction, only Wade wanted to say something, but was covered by the quick-eyed Kara: "Woo~Woowoo~"
"What's wrong with him?"
"Nothing, he has a toothache. ”
This Ellen is obviously not the kind of NPC who has no self-thinking, and it is easy to cause disputes when she talks too much, Louis wants to observe the situation first - he has now determined one thing, if he follows the prepared routine to break through one level at a time, what awaits them may not be the end of the level.
Turning over on the horse, the handsome action of getting on the horse did not attract any admiration, but attracted the whispers of his companions: "How do ......you ride a horse?"
Louis couldn't answer, he hadn't ridden a horse before, but fortunately there were people in the team who knew how to ride horses, and while Ellen was not paying attention, he whispered some tips on horseback riding: it was impossible to expect them to learn it at once, and it was better not to arouse suspicion if they didn't understand it.
Artoria and Cassel's ultra-short ride crash course didn't work very well, and Ellen could still see that several of the people in the group couldn't ride horses, and they were just rookies among rookies.
"There are several new recruits. Louie fooled around with this reason, but it still aroused Ellen's displeasure - I paid for the elite, and you brought a few rookies?
"Don't worry, it's just a lack of training in riding, and they can do everything else. ”
"If I find out that you have fooled me with a bunch of ordinary people, then I will not pay you any follow-up. ”
"If you can't get the job done, I'm not going to ask you for pay. ”
"I hope you can do what you say. Ellen was skeptical, for in such a place, it was all too common for anyone to make promises that could be trusted, and that it was all too common to take money and not do anything, or to fool around and ask for money.
In this not very harmonious atmosphere, the team hit the road, because the speed was not fast, and it was only in the evening that they arrived in the so-called paradise town.
Bringing them to their pre-arranged quarters, Ellen told them to rest first, and incidentally explained what Louis and the others were to do: "For the next three months, stop anyone who wants to climb Mount Genesis, or anything else." ”
"Genesis Mountain?"
