Chapter 459: The Last Sacrifice
Thankfully, by the time the tired team reached the landing site, the barge had come to rest quietly on the shore. There is no thick fog that covers the sky, and it is not difficult to find this sandbar through the bright moonlight. Presumably, after today, the ships that happen to pass by will leave similar legends about the sudden dissipation of the dense fog, the small islands in the thick fog, and the strange huge freshwater corals on the islands.
But when the sun rises tomorrow, everything will be normal here, and no trace will be left, the children of the evil god, the cultists who worship it, and even the sand shell people who live here, they will all become images in the story, and they will no longer be real.
"You slow down. Lolo and Yoni rolled the cheese onto the deck from left to right, and sat the mage against the bulkhead.
Spell casting, blood loss, and a journey inside the monster's body that no one knows about, this series of encounters greatly depletes Cheese's physical strength. Although the relief after defeating the strong enemy diluted the fatigue, the body would not forget the loss, and all the way to the ship, the condition of the gray robe was getting worse and worse, and now he could not speak.
At the same time, Wei Ya, who had ascended to the deck, rushed to check on her colleague as soon as possible, the unlucky mage whose ribs had been broken by a hardhead fish. By the time they left, he wasn't in a good shape.
Luckily, the perceived time was confused with the actual time in the sandbar, so the cheese spent a lot less time on the sandbar than they thought. This gave Wei Ya a chance to see her colleagues for the last time.
I don't know if it was blood or saliva, some kind of fluid blocked Scar's airways, causing him to cough incessantly to try to keep breathing. However, the muscles and internal organs that are already weak simply cannot supply enough strength, just like a fish thrown to the ground for a few hours, and the body may still twitch, but it is already an instinctive spasm, to no avail. He was about to die, and those eyes looked at Wei Ya who came to him, but there was no rational look in his eyes.
Another victim, both the first and the last on this journey.
The weak gray robe lowered his eyes slightly, he had no way to heal or alleviate Scar's injuries, not before, and even more so now. If the old man's death was sudden and unexpected, then the mage's death was slow, tormenting the emotions of several people present like a blunt knife cutting flesh, except for Yuni and Yuan.
The former still doesn't understand the meaning of someone else's death, his past hasn't been recontextualized, and the dark lower deck still looms over him. As for the latter, he has been completely struck down by great grief and has lost the ability to feel the outside world again.
Wei Ya checked the condition of her colleague slightly, then raised her head and looked in the direction of the gray robe. She saw Cheese lower her eyes, and she saw Lolo biting her lip lightly, and she didn't look away.
They couldn't help her, so she could only watch as Scar died. This makes sense, but, there's a more reasonable way. The female mage seemed to have made some kind of determination when she thought of this, and she slowly got up and walked towards the person on the deck, the source.
The man was holding his sister's corpse and did not react at all to Wei Ya's approach, all his energy was completely depleted the moment it touched the deck, both physical and mental.
"You, you want to be with her, right?" the female mage's words were very soft, but they grabbed the ears of the two people at once in the water waves.
The first of them was Yuan, he raised his head, looked at Wei Ya, and expressed his thoughts wordlessly but firmly.
The other person, Cheese, suddenly thought of what Wei Ya was going to do, and felt uneasy, he wanted to stop it, and wondered if he had made a mistake in judgment.
The entanglement of the gray robe ended in the next second. Because Wei Ya had already put her palm on the top of Yuan's head, the latter closed her eyes obediently, not knowing what was waiting for.
Magic, flowing, it's hard to imagine that after going through so much, Wei Ya still has the magic power that can cast spells. But think about it from another angle, the mages of the City of Ten Thousand Laws do not rely on their own power to cast spells, their magic comes from the surrounding natural environment, and they are only the lead, which is used to guide the occurrence of spells.
"Nope. Cheese struggled. However, his words did not change what was happening, and Wei Ya once again used the spells she had studied, and she saw life as a kind of energy, and then used the spells of the plastic energy system to manipulate this energy, from one place to another.
It's like throwing a stone dart or flying a fireball. She sends the life force of one life into the body of another. In other words, she tried to use the life of the source to get Scar's.
Luo Luo didn't know what Wei Ya wanted to do at first, until the female mage pressed her magical aura palm to the chest of her dying colleague on the deck, and at the same time, Yuan's body collapsed.
The dancer's eyes widened instantly, and I was afraid that anyone, even those who didn't know anything about magic, could understand it in an instant. She immediately stood up, trying to stop the female mage's actions. The clothes on his legs were grabbed and almost pulled off.
The person who grabbed it was, of course, Cheese, and the gray robe was too weak now, so he could only stop Luo Luo in this way. The current Wei Ya is too dangerous, and to reason with her at this time, you must have the consciousness of starting a war.
At this time, the dancing girl, whether it is consciousness or strength, is not enough to fight against the professional mage of the City of Ten Thousand Laws, and he can't watch another life. As if to grasp the meaning of the mentor, when Lolo tried to get Cheese's hand off, Yuni pounced on her and threw her down, preventing her from getting up.
Wei Ya may or may not have seen all this, but her current energy is focused on treating her colleagues, and she has not spoken out.
The ship, quietly ashore at this time, the ghost water pushing the ship may have felt that the sound on the deck was a signal to sail, so it chose to turn back. Unbeknownst to it, on the deck of this ship, a terrible scene was taking place among the members of the squad who survived the catastrophe.
The river flowed gently, and the splash hit the hull of the boat and made a gurgling sound. The moonlight shines on the deck, making both death and rebirth as dramatic as if they were on stage.
But on the other side of the deck, beside Luo Luo, who was finally restrained, under the gray hood, those black eyes were looking at the things in front of them with a complicated look. Cheese never liked the undead, nor did he like to create the undead or other desecrating magic. It's not about morality and ethics, it's purely complex to internalize personal likes and dislikes.
And in the eyes of such a person, what Wei Ya is doing is beyond the scope of what a spellcaster should do. They can do their best to save a life, with medical means and medicines, but they should never treat life as a thing from a magical level.
She, out of bounds.
