Chapter 406: The Plan
The crackling sound of the campfire in the wilderness dispelled the darkness and illuminated the two tired figures beside them.
"Lady Guina, are you sure you want to do this?" A middle-aged man shrouded in a simple priest's robe by the campfire looked at the young figure opposite, his eyes full of pity and helplessness.
Late yesterday, Guina suddenly approached him, expressing his hope to get help and return to Spartacus early, but he suddenly refused without Lear's approval, but when Guina asked him to swear a secret and tell the true reason, the shock in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time like a monstrous wave.
To be honest, he has experienced a violent struggle, because he also knows that if he chooses to help Guina, he will completely betray Lear, although he has only been in Spartacus for a short time, Lear does take care of him.
But when he thought of the seriousness of the matter and his belief in that one, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
He had already renounced his faith once, but he had been saved by a blessing in disguise, and I hope Lear would understand his suffering, and that the way Guina handled it was indeed the best outcome of this matter.
As he thought so, a breath of turbid air was squeezed out of his throat, and it was clear that he also knew that once this happened, the gap between him and Lear would never be bridged, and from now on they might still be fighting in the same camp because of the same goal, but the personal friendship would be frozen forever.
"Why me?" he shook his head with a wry smile in his heart.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I have decided. Guina mechanically fiddled with the campfire in front of her.
She had indeed decided, just after leaving Lear's tent, as a partner who had been with Lear in the first place, no one knew that person's ideals better than her, and what the cost and hardship of getting to this point had been, she must not allow herself to become a stumbling block in the other party's way forward, and it could be the stumbling block that would put Lear in a place from which she could never recover.
She also thought about asking for help from others, but the people who had the ability to help her were all old people who had lived in Spartacus for a long time and fought for a long time, and it was no exaggeration to say that in the hearts of these people, Lear's order might not be much worse than the oracle of the dragon god, and if Lear knew her thoughts, she would definitely not give her any chance, so she had no choice but to find Ronis.
In terms of faith, Ronis's loyalty to Asha has no doubt at all, it is the salvation obtained in the desperate situation of life and death, and in terms of magic ability, it is definitely comparable to several high priest leaders, and the most important point is that Ronis has been under Lear's command for the shortest time, and is the least affected by Lear's personal charm, I believe that as long as he tells him the truth, he will naturally know how to choose.
It turns out that she has found the right person, Ronis is not only proficient in divine arts and water magic, but also quite accomplished in earth magic, although not as perverted as Lear, but he can indeed cast the gate of time and space.
It's just that because her control of earth magic is still at a rudimentary level, the space-time gate cast by Ronis can't teleport her back to Spartacus at a precise point, and can only randomly teleport to the nearest town where the magic node has been established, and it can only accommodate two or three people at a time, but this is enough for Guina.
Yesterday, when it was just dark, she had already left the camp with Ronis, and she had galloped a distance of two hundred kilometers on the Gobi in a whole day, this speed sounded terrifying, but for a high-level swordsman with a golden fighting spirit and a fifteenth-level great priest, it was actually still more than enough.
On the way, in order to buy time, they even crossed the entire barbarian camp, but fortunately, because the situation between the two sides had eased, the barbarians did not really attack, although they surrounded and drove them away.
And now they only need to go forward for a dozen miles to get out of the radius of Cleggmore and Sand City, and then Ronis can use the Time Gate to teleport them directly to Sand City, and then they will continue to advance non-stop until they enter the realm of Tartagria.
By analogy, Guina just wanted to rush back to Spartacus in advance through this random fixed-point teleportation, and meet her fate before Lear found out.
"I admire your courage and selflessness, and even if I were in your position, I might not have the courage to make such a decision.
Ronis was going to say that Guina had dragged herself into a very embarrassing situation, but when he thought of the sacrifice made by the young girl, he felt that he couldn't say it anyway, he sighed heavily and stood up: "Let's go, Lord Lear's space-time portal can teleport to the town he wants to go to at will, and we must go further before he finds out, we have no time to waste." ”
Sand City, the Magic Guild, a dazzling light alarmed the soldiers guarding outside the door, and when the guard captain Martin nervously walked in to check, he happened to see Lear walking out of the circle with a gloomy face.
"Has anyone been through the circle lately?" Before Martin could say hello, Lear was the first to ask.
"Lord Ronis, Your Excellency Bishop Ronis and Miss Guina have just been away for less than half a day!" Martin straightened his chest, as a small garrison captain, there were not many opportunities to talk directly to Lord Lord, although Lear had never had a fight, but that didn't mean that he had a lot of time to spend with the low-level warriors at any time.
"That's exactly ......," Liar muttered, roughly guessing Guina's thoughts when he heard the news that Ronis had disappeared with Guina.
"Why are you so stupid......" To be honest, Lear wasn't so angry, and even a little helpless, but fortunately, the route chosen by Guina was completely under his control, and although her escape method seemed to be fine, there was actually a flaw that could not be escaped, that is, Ronis did not master the intermediate-level or above earth magic, which is why Lear was relieved to hear that Ronis was relieved after helping Guina.
At the speed of Guina and Ronis, he just had to wait for the mud fortress in front of him, but he didn't know why the uneasiness had not diminished but had become more and more intense, as if something important was about to leave him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch the drifting feeling.
Coupled with the fact that the line from Sand City to Tartaglia was all under the control of Spartacus, he really couldn't think of any danger that the two might encounter, and with the strength of those two people, unless Queen Talos made up her mind to turn against him and send an army, it was really difficult to stop them.
Stopping talking to himself and those nonsense conjectures, and before Martin could ask him for instructions on his next move, Lear turned around and stepped into the magic circle, and after a flash of intense earth elemental light, he disappeared in front of everyone, leaving only a group of guards, look at me, I see that you don't know what happened.
"Lord Lear must be in Mudstone City by now. On the road completely opposite to Mudstone City, Ronis said to Guina with a wry smile.
"Hmm..."Guina sat on the horse she had exchanged for Sand City, a little shadow and starlight intertwined on her face, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking, in fact, they had never thought of going back to Spartacus through the Time Gate, because everyone knew it would be in vain.
The path they had chosen now was to cross the River of Distress on the border of Krurod to enter the realm of Erathia, and then along the border of Erathia into the forest of Turalion, and after crossing the midline of Sand City and Spartacus, it would be time for Ronis to cast the Gate of Time and Space again, and by then, Lear should have set out with his army to find the Heart of the World Tree.
This route almost crosses the entire Enroth continent, and it takes a long time not to mention that it is more difficult, because several countries in the hinterland of Enlos are full of wars at this time, but Guina has no more choice, if she doesn't want to involve Lear in this matter, she must face it alone, otherwise, even if she returns to Spartacus before Lear, then Lear's character will definitely be because of her and the dragon god, and it is precisely because of this worry that she decided to drag time on the Enlos continent.
After learning that she was missing, Lear would inevitably look for her in many ways, but the urgent situation also doomed him to wait in Spartacus all the time, so that after Lear left, she would return to Spartacus alone to settle the matter, and the matter would be settled, and it would be impossible for Lear to directly anger the dragon god for her.
She is not afraid of death, but she feels a little regretful, if she hadn't met that person, she might still be struggling to survive in an unruly mercenary group like her father, he changed the trajectory of her life, and she has no way to be by his side anymore, thinking of this, she looked up at the brightest star in the night sky, 'Father, where are you, I miss you'.
Just as Guina and Ronis hurried away in a low, oppressive atmosphere, an imperceptible shadow slowly hung behind them.
