Chapter 344: Heart-to-heart
Even long later, when they remembered the first time they set foot on the pole day, Maffeo and Freya felt a dull ache in their bones. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Under the ghostly manipulation of the frightened Mogatha pilot, the two of them almost fell straight from the deck of Magadha to the ground at the highest point of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth. Because before that, those airships had launched an attack on Magadha.
Not even being hit could be called a miracle, and Maffeo almost once thought that the pilot was more skilled at wielding Magadha than a warhammer. But then, he realizes that he is wrong, because today the gods are watching over him and Freya. After the two of them left Magadha, the Magadha staggered and flew in the air without a purpose. He could hear the driver's cry for help, but he could only wish him good luck.
How difficult is it to imagine yourself as a creature wriggling on the ground? The two of them didn't have a clear answer in their minds, they were just doing their best to keep their bodies crawling against the ground so as not to be detected by the airships patrolling the air. The temperature of the ground at the highest point almost made the two of them feel like they were going to burn in the next second, but they could only swallow the words of complaining in their stomachs.
"Find some vegetation to camouflage, we can move through the vegetation here. Freya whispered to Maffeo.
"Hell, driver, my waist ......," Maffeo grumbled in a more strange gesture, one hand over his waist and the other crawling.
"You can complain later. Freya raised her fist slightly.
"Yes, yes. Maffeo squirmed towards the vegetation that was only a dozen yards away from him.
The high temperature and mosquitoes accompanied the two of them, and while driving away those annoying mosquitoes, the two of them also used sweat to stick the leaves to their bodies. The feeling was uncomfortable, as both of them felt their skin tearing all the time. But it is clear that this is inevitable, because they cannot act blatantly without preparation and alarming most airships.
After completing the disguise, the two could only pray that there would be no more creatures who could tell if they were real leaves or two unlucky eggs. Along the side of the vegetation, the two were slightly able to move themselves forward on their knees. Freya found a place with a better view—a ruined temple with most of its façade covered in vegetation. After confirming that there was no threat in the temple, the two came to the crack between the damaged temple that could accommodate the bodies of three people, and at the same time ushered in the opportunity to avoid the sun and darkness.
Maffeo took out his monoculars and began to observe the tranquility of the distance, and although the cultists seemed to wander around in a daze, he had no doubt that they would immediately attack any intruders with daggers or advanced weapons. Undispatched airships were docked neatly on both sides of the main road. There were other weapons that Maffeo hadn't seen before, such as the dragon cannon and the Saw Horn Crash.
"There's no movement, there's nothing to be seen on the surface. Maffeo sighed and put down his monoculars, all he wanted was to drink water now.
"Then wait and see, those patrolling airships will definitely land. Freya looked at the blinding sky.
Silence followed for a brief moment between the two, and Maffeo couldn't resist the loneliness of the tranquility and spoke again. "In the past two years, have you and Carl found any other way to return to the Celestial Realm?" he knew that such a question would be abrupt and might make Freya unhappy, but he really wanted to know.
Freya shook her head, not looking at him. "Nope. The short answer represents her current view on the matter.
"So, tell me the story of your time in the Celestial Realm, I'm interested. ”
"Do you really want to hear that?" Freya looked at him with childlike eyes.
"Just to pass the time. Maffeo shrugged.
Freya couldn't help but laugh, "Well, what to say. When I was a kid my dad always told me to learn to be a lady and not be as noisy as the rest of the guys. But in the celestial realm, there will also be many women who try to prove their worth, and in fact they also succeeded, a long time ago. Whether it's dazzling archery and physical skills, or heavy heavy firearms, or machinery and all kinds of ammunition, they do no worse than men......"
"Wait, wait. Maffeo couldn't help but interrupt her. "In this way, it is normal for you women in the Heavenly Realm to participate in battles?"
"Of course. Freya nodded. "I've always loved tinkering with ammunition made by munitions experts, and you might think it's ridiculous to say, but it's just because I like the different colors of the bullets that come out of the chamber. ”
"Oh. There's nothing ridiculous about it, there's something for everyone, isn't it?"
"When I was 12 years old, I stumbled upon an announcement that the best female gunners would be selected to serve as personal guards for Her Royal Highness and as an opportunity to prove their abilities. Honestly, I must admit that I was a competitive person when I was younger. Although later, the war changed me. So just like that, I proved myself through my abilities and became a member of the Imperial Daughter's Garden. If my life so far is like splitting a bullet, then half of my life has been spent in the courtyard of the princess. ”
"Well, I must admit that your experience is a bit boring for a guy like me. Maffeo gave an awkward smile.
Freya looked a little angry and punched Maffeo in the head, "My experience wasn't meant to be interesting to you. ”
"Of course, of course. Maffeo covered his head and kept responding.
"Hey, Maffeo. When she spoke again, there was only apology in her tone. "Do I sometimes take my feelings too seriously? For example, I take my anger out on you or other guys because I'm in a bad mood. ”
Maffeo didn't expect Freya to say this suddenly, and he couldn't think of anything to answer for a while. But soon, he organized the language. "It's hard to admit your shortcomings, and it's the same for me. I sometimes blame others for my mistakes, but the most important thing is to look at yourself and the other person, and that's true for everyone. ”
"Well, that's good to hear you say that. But maybe you should be a philosopher another day instead of slashing monsters with a great sword?" Freya teased.
"It doesn't matter anymore. Maffeo laughed.
The quiet polar day finally made its first move, and a group of patrolling airships landed at a stop on the side of the main road. The two of them immediately took their tools and began to observe, no matter what, it would be difficult to get rid of these guys easily. Unbeknownst to the two of them, however, the white light eye that was bubbling with electricity had been staring in their direction for a long time......
