Chapter 278: The Hidden Enemy
After breakfast and discussion, by the way, we discussed what we want to do today?
Having just returned from the dense fog, Louis and Artoria will definitely not enter the dense fog so quickly, even if they have decided to continue to farm tasks and rewards, they should also arrange the time reasonably, for example, when Louis and Artoria who have just returned are resting, Jill can go to the dense fog to do tasks.
"What are you two going to do?" After breakfast, Jill simply moved his body and made preparations before leaving.
There's really not much to do, and most of the gear is stored in personal storage.
"I'm going to study that private house. ”
"I don't have anything to do, so I'll check it out...... It doesn't affect you, does it?"
"No, it doesn't affect. ”
It wasn't just Jill who came to see the excitement, but Artoria, Myron, and even Miyuki followed.
It was the first time that Miyuki knew what a so-called private house was, and when she saw an ordinary room with various changes in Louie's hands, her mouth opened and her eyes widened with magic written all over her face.
Louis did not show off in front of the little girl, but focused on studying how to decorate the small room in order to appear more comfortable.
After trying several combinations, he realized that he couldn't get a computer!
If the upper limit of the furniture that can be placed in this room is ten, then each type of furniture occupies a different share according to the situation, and a computer occupies a particularly large share - he has not tried it carefully, so it is difficult to determine the standard, just a vague understanding.
Louie felt that if Bruce were here, he might spend a considerable amount of time without sleeping, trying out all the combinations to come up with a standard reference unit and then the best one.
He is not in the mood to do such troublesome things, as long as he understands the general situation, anyway, he has determined that this private house can be expanded, and what cannot be placed now will not be a problem after the expansion.
So he just needs to focus on the facilities that are currently available.
After studying for a while, Louis quickly came to the conclusion that the bed was not to be wanted!
No matter how he posed, as long as there was a bed, many things could not be placed.
"Anyway, you can use cultivation instead of sleeping, and there is such a thing as a bed, right?"
"Sleeping is a very comfortable thing, how can you give up?" but Louie still gave up setting a bed, and it was better to sleep on the floor than a small bed.
Louie then tried to find a cubicle where the toilet, wash basin, and shower head could be placed, and once these things were laid out, Jill suddenly found that Louie had become more convenient here.
"If you have these things, even sleeping on the floor is not a big deal. "As long as you lay the bedding on the floor, it is not so uncomfortable to sleep on the floor.
"yes, so I'd rather not have a bed than lay these things out. Looking around, there is a desk next to the bed, a refrigerator, and a cabinet for futons and other things, and there is not much space left—the rest of the place is the activity and the bedding: "It seems that this is the only way." ”
"It's already pretty good. It's not big, but it's comfortable: "I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I'll set off on a mission right away." ”
The more she looked, the more she wanted one, and Jill prepared to set off for the thick fog.
According to the plan set by the Brave and Lord Sorensen, they prioritized clearing the dense fog outside the south gate of Riverbend Fort, and if it weren't for the special matter of the red core, they would have taken turns to clear the dense fog outside the south gate during this time until a passage was cleared.
There is no need to be escorted by the lord in person every time, and when Jill sets out, he only needs to say hello to the guards, and there will be knights or soldiers who will inform the lord and accompany Jill to the south gate of Fort Riverbay.
When Jill left, everyone also came out of Louie's private house.
Myron wasn't unseen and didn't stay inside studying the toilets and showerheads, which he had already used in Bruce's car.
Louie, who returned outside, after finding time to communicate with Bruce and alerting him that there might be someone who might be unfavorable to us brave men, began to carefully observe the soldiers around him and every knight he had seen.
"I can see that the other party is hiding very well, and maybe he has never appeared in front of us from beginning to end. Louis looked into the distance as if he were standing in front of the window and looking at the scenery.
"It's also possible that the other person is nearby, but we don't know each other. "No one knows what the servant of the demon king is like, not even whether that person is male or female, old or young.
Louis was looking for people who were paying too much attention to them, but the knights and soldiers who were stationed around were more or less sent to spy on them, and almost everyone was paying attention to them, so it was really difficult to discern them.
"Except for ......"
Louis remembered the children of the lord Sorensen, could it be that the Demon King directly developed Sorensen's children into his subordinates?
For apart from the knights and soldiers, there was only one child of Sorensen, who had paid a little special attention to him.
He didn't take the liberty of telling his speculations, and there were only those two times, which could be regarded as a coincidence—perhaps just curiosity about his group of strangers.
As he thought so, he felt his gaze fall on him again, and when he looked over, he saw only a fleeting shadow - it didn't work, for Louis, who was becoming stronger and stronger in the Force, the living creature was as conspicuous as a campfire in the night.
“......”
The other party had such a clumsy hiding technique, but he didn't think that this child was a subordinate of the demon king Ravenna, how could Ravenna want such a weak subordinate? Even if it was weak, she would give it enough strength, just like Virginia.
Being discovered by himself so easily, being discovered by himself without knowing it, and the clumsy reaction to hiding only seems to prove that this child has no strength at all.
"Are you still looking for that hidden enemy?" Artoria didn't know what Louis was thinking, and seeing him stay in the window, she thought he was still using the Force to search for the enemy: "If you release the Force with all your strength now, you should be able to 'lock' everyone in the castle, right?"
"I did, but I didn't. "The main fear is that it will be detected by those spellcasters, and this kind of large-scale search to release energy is easy to detect by casters with strong mental power and sensitive energy.
As the lord of Riverbend Castle, there is certainly no shortage of such powerhouses by Sorensen's side.
He may be able to find a hidden enemy, but he may also be instigated by the other party, so that Louis and the others will have to face the entire battle force of Riverbend Fort.
"Maybe that's the idea of the other party!" Although Louie doesn't like to fight with the air, he really can't ignore this possibility.
Watching the 'kid' fade away, Louis turned his gaze back to the dock in the distance, where the crisis seemed to have been lifted after yesterday's big battle.
However, the crisis has not really gone away, there is still a thick fog slowly dissipating, more strange monsters have emerged from the thick fog, the military force of the river bend has been mobilized, and the other side of the dock has now become a battlefield, and from time to time there will be the sound of fighting, screaming and explosions.
Standing here, you can occasionally see the light and shadow of spells - the intensity of the battle has increased.
"Aren't you going to help?" After Miyuki's body stabilized, she saw that a battle was breaking out in the distance, and immediately wanted to rush over to help, but Artoria held her shoulder and rushed out without recklessly.
"The fact that the lord didn't send someone here means that he doesn't need our help. "I guess Sorensen doesn't want Louis to reap his prestige in front of the common people at close range, and the current enemy doesn't make him feel unmanageable.
Until the sound of the battle dissipated, no one came to ask Louis for help, and the days in the lord's castle were so peaceful and peaceful, and the next two days did not change much.
The so-called enemy never appeared, let alone showed the slightest hint of his feet, and Louis didn't bother to wonder where the guy was hiding.
In addition, Sorensen has been focusing on dealing with the monsters that appear on the docks from time to time in the past two days, and Louis did not bother the lord who has been busy recently.
According to the original plan, the three of them began to take turns into the dense fog to clean up, and by the way, they had more experience and rewards.
Walking towards the south gate in what seemed to be a daily patrol, Louis felt more eyes fall on him as he walked to the outer city.
It was not surprising that he looked at the two of them with a slight tilt of his head and saw ordinary civilians, but Louis sensed a very strong hostility from two of them.
"I don't have any grudges against the people here, do I?"
Louis, who was puzzled, paid special attention to the conversation between the two people, although the distance gradually narrowed, but the content of the conversation after the two people deliberately lowered still got into Louis's ears:
"Is that the man? the so-called brave?"
"A fool trying to confront the Great Demon King...... Soon he will pay for his stupidity and ignorance. ”
"I wonder why Pandora-sama still keeps this guy?"
"Pandora's thoughts are not something we can speculate...... Okay, that guy is already far away, let's report the news. ”
“......”
The conversation stopped, and Louis stopped listening to the voices on the other side, and continued to follow the knights and soldiers to the south gate as usual, as if he didn't know anything.
"Is that enemy going to deal with us Pandora? I wonder which Pandora, or is it just the same name?"
After thinking silently for a few seconds, Louis paused, and suddenly said that his plan had changed: "Take me to meet the lord." ”
