"What the hell is the weather!

The sky dome descended like a thin needle of water, and the air was filled with a damp smell, and the brackish wetness that used to be felt only on the beach and the pier now spread along the country road that led to an unknown fishing village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

To describe what is happening in three words, it is, "It's raining."

"That...... If I'm not mistaken, this is the fourteenth time I've heard a similar grumble......"

The clear sky is the same as before, but it has never been seen in the past 500 years of the New Earth calendar, and now, in the 500 years of the New Earth calendar, the phenomenon named "rain" by researchers and historians has become a frequent visitor to the coastal zone at the southern tip of the mainland.

In the calendar system named after the New Calendar, the total time of 720 days is divided into 12 months of varying lengths, 12 months accumulate into a year, and 500 years are regarded as a complete cycle, called an "epoch". Therefore, the period of 500 years from the first year of the new earth calendar to the year 499 of the new earth calendar not long ago can be called the "first era of the new earth calendar" or the "old era" from the current point of view, and the present year of the new earth calendar beginning in 500 is beginning to be called the "second era of the new earth calendar" or "******".

"Rain", which became a typical image in literary works in later generations, began to be regarded as a ****** innovation phenomenon by most people in this land, and began to become a special thing.

Of course, not everyone sees it as a good thing.

For example, Ralph. Maybe it's a congenital character, or maybe it's a not-so-good experience, but in short, the most disgusting thing in the life of a man who was born in the Northwater Empire, which is located in the arid region of the northwest, is everything made of water. Drinking water is excluded.

After all, drinking water has always been as important to humans as eating as much as eating.

"Ahh

In fact, there is no hope, and it is still only a complaint. Ralph's voice was gruff and loud, as simple and straightforward as his man, and it was most comfortable to be with such a person if he could endure the utter rudeness of no malice.

"That...... I guess there is, but I ...... Woo...... Won't ......"

The already faint voice may have been made as thin as a mosquito by shame, or perhaps by fear. The pace also became slower, and the petite woman buried her head in the wide hood that was used to protect her from the rain, as if she did not dare to let her eyes touch the thick body of the big man in front of her, which was unhindered in the rain.

In fact, for Ralph, who is a companion, the woman has never had any superfluous emotions, let alone fear. It's just that she seems to be too gentle and shy, and she is not good at dealing with people like Ralph who are too straightforward.

"By the way, why don't you just use the magic that can directly disperse this rain?" As if shocked by his genius thoughts, Ralph's face that made his unassuming facial features look hideous because of a slash that slashed across the entire face, he stood triumphantly for a moment, and after giving himself a thumbs up, he immediately took another step that was so big that it was exaggerated, leaving only the deafening voice, "Uncle, I am really a genius!

With only the simplest of breastplate shields on his muscular body, revealing his sturdy muscles, Ralph scurried through the rain, seemingly opening a path through the dense rain curtain. Rustic and heavy, not just boots made of leather smashed on some muddy and waterlogged roads, smashing out larger pits and stirring up more splashes, making it a "dangerous" situation within a radius of half a meter that would inevitably be splashed with muddy water once entered.

"Uh......h Again......"

After Ralph's long figure left, only the woman who walked slower and slower, and couldn't help but fall into confusion.

"Leave him alone, Vina. It's not the first time. It's been almost a year since a few of us became companions, and you already know that guy always has little tendon when he talks, right?"

The warm palm gently patted the woman's slender shoulder from behind, and the man who caught up from behind spat out disapproving and half-comforting words, and it seemed that similar situations were commonplace.

"But...... Moore, people are really sad...... I ......"

"Captain Lance is waiting for us. ”

A single sentence silenced the woman, who was clearly about to cry something, and the man named Moore clearly knew how to deal with the situation. Vina, who was petite and petite, wore a cheap robe of the same shape and material, and with a wide hood that was not in harmony with the proportions, but a man of a much larger type, whose stature was not at all tall by male standards, not even average, but "short".

However, it was such a short man, and the momentum on his body was no less than that of the burly giant man in front of him.

The so-called momentum, also known as courage, is occasionally simply interpreted as oppressive force, which is reflected in gestures, words and deeds. It can be said that momentum is the most quintessential and condensed part of a person's body, and his identity and status, his ability and strength can be seen from a person's momentum. There must be the domineering spirit of the king in the emperor, the pride of the commander is often diffused enough to lead the whole army, the soldiers who have been in the battlefield for a long time will inevitably have some blood and sharpness, and the hermit who does not care about the fame of the world will also retain the nobility and indifference of birth. Humans living in Southwell are creatures that can perceive the situation around them and make decisions that are beneficial to themselves, and the various momentum possessed by individuals has become the most intuitive information for judging the situation.

"You haven't seen each other in a few days, don't you want to see the captain soon?"

There is this kind of cold-blooded and cruel momentum in the body of the person in front of him. And it is this momentum that makes people prefer to face Ralph, who looks like a strong warrior, rather than face this man who seems to be weak, but after calming people, they will only feel the cold edge.

"Uh-huh...... Ah, yes......"

Vina didn't really care about More's sense of oppression. In fact, she has never had any emotions related to "fear" or "fear" towards her two fellow warriors. In other words, the weakness he showed when he faced Ralph before was just acting.

She found herself unexpectedly gifted.

The feminine charm of the female body would have been obscured by the simple and wide robes, but the raindrops of wet clothes exposed its original posture. Compared with ordinary women, Vina's body can be called hot and hot, and her relatively short body does not affect the very sexy body of the body, but will make the men who are the masters of this land have more desire to protect. As literally described, her body from top to bottom is born with an irresistible charm of the opposite sex, if there is a fly in the ointment, that is, there are some inconspicuous freckles on the face, but on the other hand, this little imperfection will only add to the charm of her peugeot features, and the slender eyes and the "pretended" retreating eyes are the most fatal places on her body.

The woman's body does not seem to have a compelling momentum, but there is a more dangerous and hidden "talent" - "magic" than that. Compared to the momentum that everyone can experience, magic can be said to be much more imperceptible, except for those who have the rare talent to perceive magic, or powerful mages who have been drowning in this path for many years. The difference between the two is that one is an innate gift, and the other is an acquired tempering. For the average person, it is far more difficult to tell if a person is a high-level mage than it is to confirm that someone is a powerful warrior.

Vina is a magician, and she is quite a good one. If not, it's hard to understand why she's been able to be a companion to two equally good fighters.

"That's ...... We have to hurry......"

"Indeed, Captain Lance must have reached the village of the junction one step ahead of us. ”

"I ...... I'd love to be the first to see Captain Lance......"

still insisted on the cowardly tone of disguise, but what he thought in his heart was more determined for that person's feelings. After a brief exchange of ideas, Vina bowed her head to Mohr, who reminded her of this, and immediately turned around and flew out along the road, using floating magic instead of walking, and soon disappeared from Mor's vision like Ralph.

“......”

The rain was pouring and there was silence for a moment, and finally he did not comment on Vina's actions, which was more in line with his style, and Moore lowered his head and lamented the impact of the melancholy rain and fog on his vision, and also took a somewhat vague step.

......The subtle sound of metal colliding in the robe was naturally drowned out by the rain.

Maybe he was tired, and he wanted to find a place to rest. My body relaxed, and my steps were much slower than before, but my thinking never stopped.

It's only been a few days, and I'm trying to reconcile the seemingly inconsistencies between Ralph and Vina, while doing my best to get the job done—doing the negotiating work that I'm not good at. Fortunately, most of the work was taken by Captain Lance, and if it were a few more days like this, it would be unimaginable.

The tough man didn't sigh, and he didn't stop, he just remembered what the person who was trustworthy and respectful, and who held the highest position in his heart, did on weekdays.

Ralph is the kind of person who can see that he is not good at thinking, he does not have so many cunning, he is affectionate and righteous, and he obeys the words of those who respect and approve, and is the best person to carry out orders unilaterally. Vina is a girl who, although quick-witted and quick-witted, focuses all her energy on Lance alone, and falls in love without thinking about the rest.

For two people who can't find a conflict at all, but there is always an awkward atmosphere, appropriate mediation is necessary.

Moore understands this.

But he couldn't understand whether the relationship between the two was good or bad, and whether the awkward atmosphere between the two on weekdays would affect the cooperation when carrying out tasks.

All he knew was that as long as that person was their captain, there would never be a situation where their companions would turn away from each other.

Thinking of this, Moore suddenly felt that he understood Vina's mood a little, and his heart rarely fluctuated, and he was occasionally called "hard-hearted" by people he knew maliciously, and he rarely had warm feelings, wanting to meet the reassuring captain soon.

"Tread. "Smack. ”

Splashing on the mud, Moore's fatigue seemed to dissipate, and his pace couldn't help but quicken. The spiritual comfort feedback is on top of the body, which is the power of emotions that can only be generated between people.

A "miracle" that only a human being can trigger.

"Hmm...... This is?"

As he took the next step, an ominous premonition suddenly arose, and the strange atmosphere coming from not far ahead made the warrior feel creepy that he hadn't felt in a long time. Standing still, holding his breath and calming his throbbing heart, Mohr, who had calmed down, shook his head violently, and reactivated his slightly numb body, only to find that the liquid that was different from the rain had fallen.

Cold sweat.

The eerie atmosphere comes from the eerie magic ahead. As a warrior, Moore doesn't use much magic, but he has an innate ability to perceive magic, which is even stronger than Vina, who is a pure mage. Therefore, he could clearly feel the ominousness and weirdness attached to the magic in front of him.

It's unknown, but it's because the magic is mixed with chaos and darkness, and even the breath of blood.

And the weirdness is because that magic actually makes the warrior feel a familiar feeling, if it weren't for the indescribable darkness, Moore would almost be able to conclude that this is the magic of "Captain Lance".

Moore wasn't sure what that meant, but while he tried not to connect Captain Lance's situation to the magic, the fact that several assumptions were born in his mind that were definitely not a good situation forced him to plan for the worst.

"Captain......

The concern is as good as it is in action. In the next step, Mohr pressed his center of gravity to the lowest level as if he had fallen, and the next moment, a dazzling cyan circle appeared under his body, and in the blink of an eye, the figure had rushed out like an arrow and disappeared in place, leaving only a huge pit left by the recoil force under his feet.

Physically enhanced magic, due to the overemphasis on the importance of physical training for humans, and the only magical system that pure warriors who are often prejudiced against magic will use it themselves. Although there are also extreme people who think that the convenience of physical enhancement magic will hinder the training of warriors, it is undeniable that these magics that can improve their physical abilities in a short period of time do bring a leap forward to the warriors, and it is not difficult to understand why the warriors are so favored by them.

Forward, sprint, and the second step landed more than ten meters away from the previous one, which is exactly the power of the explosive speed-increasing body enhancement magic that brings beyond the norm.

Forward, with each step forward, the ominous premonition grows, and the affection of concern turns into anxiousness, so that everything else is regarded as nothing.

"Absolutely nothing happens. ”

This was the only thought in Moore's mind at the moment, who had somehow lost his composure, but as the distance approached, the sense of familiarity and uneasiness above the magic became clearer, and it was difficult to suppress, and the sense of identification with the possibility of "worst plans" in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He suddenly remembered a sentence a long time ago that the man who had reduced himself to nowhere to go.

"The more you don't want it to happen, the more bound it will happen, isn't that a matter of course for the weak?"

For some reason, the name of that person had been forgotten, but this sentence was haunted by his body like a lingering nightmare, and it was not until he met Captain Lance that his life, which had lost everything he was familiar with and the direction he was heading in, finally dawned a little.

"So, absolutely nothing else. ”

In his heart, Moore prayed to the true God the most devout prayer since his birth, and then quickened his pace.

"Uhhh

The rain that enveloped the surroundings still showed no signs of stopping, but as Mohr's speed became faster and faster, the ominous smell in the rain curtain and in the air finally materialized into a smell, a negative emotion that made people feel uneasy, panic, fear, etc., and, unexpectedly, some "sweet" taste.

- The smell of blood.
