Chapter Ninety-Nine: Follow Your Heart

Ola, who was busy healing Gretel, paused for a moment, pursed her lips, and then tightened the bandage in her hand with force. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

For a moment, it was so quiet that only the sound of Gretel's gasping was left. Everyone seemed to be stunned by his words. Seeing that no one had answered him, Gretel patted his chest and said loudly, "Don't you understand? ā€

This second emphasis made Wall's eyes narrow.

"Do you know the whereabouts of Silris?" he asked, in an unkind tone.

Gretel turned her head to meet his gaze with a meaningful smile on her face......

The snow gradually stopped, but instead of stopping, the biting cold wind blew more violently. The slow march of Wall's group due to bad weather and the unexpected addition of the two made Hawke curse and Diledo frowned. He looked back at Amanda, who was struggling to support Gretel on her shoulder, and finally pulled her out from under the man's arm.

Amanda was at first struggling, but the long run earlier and the previous difficult trek had almost exhausted her strength, and she was not able to stand still for a while, and the whole person almost fell to the ground, but Ola, who was walking behind, hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

Amanda glanced sideways at Ola, who didn't even say a word "thank you" before breaking away from Ora's arm, and then looked at Dillado with a sarcastic expression.

"Aren't you afraid that Gretel will screw your head off?" Amanda said in a choking tone.

Dilredo, who had only intended to support Gretel on his shoulders, suddenly pursed his mouth. He suddenly half-crouched down and carried Gretel on his back as if he were angry. Amanda was stunned for a moment by this obviously antagonistic gesture, then she sneered and turned her gaze to Hawke and Wall, and then said, "Diredo, I suddenly found out that you are an idiot. ā€

Amanda's words went unanswered. Hawke, who was still scolding before, suddenly didn't say a word, and Wall, who was in the front row, rolled his eyes to the sky, and Di Ledo just buried his head in the road. The oppressive silence caused Amanda to involuntarily hug her shoulders. Ola, who was walking at the end of the team, looked at her back, and two words suddenly popped up in her heart - lonely and helpless.

But she also called Diledo an idiot. Ola sighed in his heart.

Who made Di Ledo always make some choices that were not good for himself, and always did those stupid things that were for the sake of others, and others did not admit his feelings at all? But if you think about what Di Ledo did, it is almost from the heart. How many people in this world can be like him who are not bewitched by the turbid world and always act according to nature?

Ola felt that he couldn't do that, at least. And if she had switched places with Diredo, a lot of bad things might have happened. For example, in the time of D'Estaing, she would keep an eye on Gretel and let the two women burn to death in the building, and she would probably not have put her companions in a dilemma to rescue the villagers during the hostage exchange where the Nightingale and the Nightowl almost clashed......

The crowd called Dildeau an idiot, and to put it bluntly, they just laughed at him for always acting according to his nature. But if his actions are judged by the results, what right do they, who act according to reason, laugh at a man who follows his nature?

The sound of the cold wind and the rustle of clothes blowing through the wind still resounded in my ears, but the scene in front of me was no longer a forest of deciduous leaves. Ola was surprised to see that the trees in his field of vision were thinning, and there seemed to be a curtain wall standing behind the trees on the hill in front of him. As the crowd got closer and closer to the hill, a section of the curtain wall, which was shaded by trees and shadowed by the dark sky, became more and more conspicuous, and even the granite material became clearly visible in the morning light. After another moment, the square watchtower attached to the curtain wall was revealed. It can be seen that they all belong to a castle.

"Sentry Arrows, with limited financial resources and supplies, have built a castle in the jungle?" thought Ora with some shock.

She unconsciously slowed her pace, and bowed to the castle as if she had been impressed by every out-of-town villager. The rest of the group also noticed the building, with Wall subconsciously whistling and Diledo whispering, "It's bigger than before." ā€

As soon as he finished speaking, Gretel let out a sneer, only to hear him exclaim, "It's a pity that the outside looks much more ordinary than the inside." ā€

"Tell me, how do you get in now?" said Hawke, an impatient look on his face. They hadn't bumpered with the guy who had kidnapped Silreth all the way, which meant that they would have to invade the peregrine falcon's hinterland, and even enter the ridiculous garden to find Silris, and the path they were taking was actually on the back side of the castle, a direction he was not familiar with.

Gretel did not immediately answer Hawke's inquiry, but pointed forward, and the group looked in the direction he was pointing, only to see a frozen stream hanging from the drainage hole cut in the curtain wall and extending to the bottom of the mound. The "silent" stream almost blends in with the snow-covered land, and it's no wonder that everyone didn't notice it at first.

"If you go downstream, you will find a secret passage that leads to the inner city. Gretel sighed.

"But we've quickened our movements, and it's not wise to wander around that madman's den in broad daylight. ā€

"Hmm......" Wall nodded and led the way, and the others unconsciously quickened their pace under his leadership, except for one person - Amanda. Aura noticed that the closer she got to the castle in front of her, the slower Amanda's pace became, as if there was a monster lurking behind the building. Is it because the "ideal country" built by Drurgis still has some ingenious dark side?

Speaking of which, when Gretel suddenly offered to lead everyone into the hinterland of the peregrine falcon, it was this woman who reacted the most violently. She says that Gretel is crazy for revenge, but ironically, Amanda does not choose to leave the crowd alone, and she willingly supports the impaired Gretel towards her so-called devil's cave. At that time, Gretel deliberately lowered her voice and sarcastically said to her.

"You're a vine that has to live by clinging to men. ā€

The words were low enough for everyone to hear, but she actually bit her lower lip and silently endured it, but Diredo glared at Gretel very unnaturally for a long time.

Aura sighed imperceptibly, Amanda was a helpless woman after all, and their growth trajectories were completely different, she couldn't understand her way of survival, and only hoped that this woman would not become a burden in the next trip.
