Chapter 216: As a Scout
"Hey. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Wrapped in a heavy black mist, Lynch let out a long sigh and sat down on the ground, holding a sword and a dagger in his two hands.
"Are you tired already?" Fred was looking at him with a smile on his face, "We should have gone a little further." β
"I'm not tired," Lynch said absent-mindedly as he gently stabbed the dirt with the dagger in his hand, "why didn't we kill that group of monsters before we left?" β
"You're quite murderous about these monsters," Fred laughed, but he couldn't reach far in the open area, "Those monsters can't get in our way, and they can't get in the way of the castle, so there's no need to waste time on them." Killing all monsters is not something scouts need to do now. β
"Okay. Lynch got up again, stepped on some solid dirt under his feet, and lowered his head to Fred and asked, "Then how long should we go forward?" I think we're far enough from the castle. β
"Far enough, huh......" Fred chuckled under his breath, his dry throat making his laughter sound like that of an old duck, "Normally, if I am alone, I have to go a lot farther than this, at least two days longer than the castle is going, how much are you now?"
"Two days?" Lynch was indeed startled by the underground creature, "What if you can't find the castle by then?"
"Hey," Fred said with a smile at Lynch, pointing a finger from the dirt to his head and eyes, "That's why I've been able to stay as a scout." β
Lynch shrugged, others don't want to talk about their talent, and there's nothing you can do.
"But there's no hurry, we're still within the barren plains. Fred said again, "And a long part of the road ahead is still in the barren plains, so we can rest for a while." Anyway, I'm going to have to stay with me for a long time. β
The result of the punishment came out shortly after Lynch was dragged to the place where the runes were studied, because the core key of the castle had to consume the so-called energy to repair the place in the hall that was destroyed by Lynch, so the castle would have to stop and make adjustments to accumulate energy again after advancing, so Lynch had to act as a scout during this period to ensure the safety of the castle, and ensure that no monsters around the castle would invade when the castle stopped.
In fact, this is good news for Lynch, he has been thinking about the castle hunting monsters for a long time, and this punishment is simply in his hands.
As for Thor in Lynch's opinion, it was a little miserable, in the short time he sent to Ning Yue, Ning Yue determined that this guy's possession had become unstable due to the long-term stagnation of his ontological strength, and it still had a tendency to deteriorate, so the time bomb that could explode at any time was forcibly left in his room by Ning Yue, and he had to directly break through the strange period.
Basically, even if he was sentenced to death, according to Ning Yue's words, this guy had been stagnant for too long before the weird period, so that his own talent began to show some signs of decline, and when facing a stronger possession, stepping into the weird period like this is basically not much different from looking for death.
However, he had no other choice, either to suddenly explode before he was discovered, and then harm more people, or to stay here early and be transformed by Ning Yue, which might be of some use in the future.
In other words, the reason why Saul went to Lynch for trouble before was indeed a little related to the emotional impact of possession on him. Lynch is a lying gun. The lewd middle-aged man is the same as Lynch, but he is assigned to the rear, and he is separated from Lynch.
As for Kenwo...... Lynch thinks that people will always grow after suffering some losses. Hopefully, after learning the truth about something, this will be the motivation for Kenwom to keep going.
In the flat wilderness wrapped in black fog, the conversation between the two continued.
"How do you know we're still in the barren plains?" asked Lynch, curious, his tone so determined, as if he were an old driver now.
"Actually, I'm very sensitive to soil. Fred sank his head for a moment, then resurfaced again, like a fish ventilated: "The barren plains live up to its name, Lynch, everything here is lifeless, including the land here, I sensed it when I entered this place before, but I thought that the land outside the range of the flames was like this." But according to you, I should be wrong. β
"Who knows," Lynch shrugged, "maybe your guess is right - the difference between this world itself is only the flames and the inside, and this world is only this barren plain except for the City of Fire, and everything else has either been completely swallowed up by the black fog, or if we continue to go on, only the places where the dark lords live, and we will take this castle headlong into the place where they live, and then be killed by them." β
"Oh, I don't like that from you, Lynch, it sounds creepy. Fred smiled on his face, but didn't see any discomfort in the slightest: "This is probably not your view of the world." β
"Of course not," Lynch replied, tweaking his sword in one hand, "this was once the dominant view in the castle, and its origins came from a guy named Zero. β
"Zero......" Fred sighed, "I know this guy, I heard that he died later? Was he suicidal?
"Who knows," Lynch patted the hilt of his sword, gently rubbing his fingers against the blade and the carved lines on the hilt, "It must be out of control." β
"That's the sadness of our possession, Lynch. Fred sighed as well: "Compared to the black fog, we are also always wrapped in the shadow of death, we have suffered more, we have suffered more, and no one can save us." β
Lynch didn't go on with Fred, for he was no different from these possessed ones, and he drew his sword from the ground, and made a vigilant gesture, his dark eyes scanning the darkness around himβin the black fog without fire, even with some night vision, there was still not much to see.
"We'll talk about that later, Fred," Lynch said slowly, "there's a monster coming." β
"Then you clean up first, and I'll come back to you when it's over. Fred said, diving headlong into the dirt, he didn't have to worry about Lynch's safety, the monsters on the barren plains were easy to deal with.
Everything around Lynch fell silent, so quiet that Lynch could only hear his own breathing, and the black fog around him rolled silently, pregnant with the unknown and fear.
Wheezing and roaring with footsteps approached the position, and Lynch clenched the sword in his hand, his body glowing with lightning, and the flash pierced through the darkness in an instant.
As a scout, it was as if he was the only one left in the world.
