Chapter 254: Lina's Worries
Silence is the best way to describe a camp at night, and in an environment where there is hardly any form of life in zĆ i, silence is the only melody - there is no campfire lit in the camp, in the hot north, especially in the hot forest of death, there is no need for fire to warm the body, and in the terrifying forbidden land, there is no need for fire to disperse beasts and mosquitoes, so there is not even the crackle of fire burning in the camp. In this quiet, maddening world, all you can hear is the sound of cracks inside the rocks, the rubble
The camp was dark, except for a crystal lamp in the middle of the camp, illuminating the small area of the central area, not because of a decision made by some female knight to save hedrons, or rather, not all the main reasons, or because it was not necessary. Yes, there's not much need to light up the camp too brightly, because for this team, it's no longer an eye to hunt for enemies.
At the top of the camp wall, twelve strange crystal gun barrels are installed in all directions, the muzzles of the guns are facing the camp in unison, and they are still swinging regularly and automatically, except for the mechanic, it is estimated that no one can know how these crystal guns find the enemy, but as long as there is any large object outside the camp moving, the crystal gun covering this angle will shoot crystal energy bombs as soon as possible, no matter what the moving object is. Everyone is not worried about causing accidental injury, on the one hand, because it is almost impossible for friendly troops to approach here, and on the other hand, even if there are friendly troops, people who can walk here will not be injured by the crystal energy bomb, and the crystal energy explosion bomb is more just for early warning. Defense of the second circle. It is one hundred and thirty-six magic runes, these magic runes form a strange magic circle, covering the entire range of the camp, any action of stepping into the range of the magic circle, will trigger a large area of fire explosion in the corresponding location, even the most powerful thieves, unless they can fly in mid-air, it is difficult to invade the camp without triggering the circle.
The combination of the two defenses can almost make the camp safe without a vigilant force, but just to be on the safe side. There is also a third level of caution. In fact, the third level of vigilance does not require any preparation from the team, the large gravel outside the camp is the best vigilance measure, these gravels are piled up on the surface of the ground, as long as you step on the gravel to move, it is impossible not to make a sound, and the sound will become extremely obvious in such a silent world, even if the sound of gravel colliding a few hundred meters away, can be lightly heard by the night watchman in the camp. Under the triple defense, according to Pannis. Even Asker, the strongest sandman assassin of our time, would not be able to sneak into the camp, let alone the other enemies.
Inside the camp, Pannis was half-lying next to the original campfire. A few meters away from him, a bald female priest dressed in a white priest's robe and leather armor was swinging a mace around the center of the camp. In the eyes of outsiders. These two vigils were so irresponsible, but there was nothing wrong with them keeping vigil like this for those who knew them. When the priest girl was on patrol. Although she did not carry any powerful lights to illuminate every corner of the camp, the energy fluctuations in the corners of her eyes clearly showed that the true vision of divine magic was working effectively, under the divine magic, even if there was no light, everything she saw could be truly fed back to the girl's brain in black and white, and there was nowhere to hide from any illusion and invisibility. As for Pannis, although it was only a lazy regiment in the center of the camp, with his keen perception, in this quiet night, he could hear even footsteps a kilometer or two away, which was more effective than any defensive cordon.
Lina, who was on patrol, seemed to sense something, suddenly pulled up the hood behind the priest's robe, covered the top of her head, which was only one or two centimeters long, looked around vigilantly, and said suspiciously in the lowest voice: "I always feel that there is a malicious and mocking gaze staring at my hair, you must have done it, Pannis." ā
"Poof, no, no, I really didn't laugh, how could I do such a thing?" Pannis's eyes flickered away from Lina's glare, raised the book in his hand and said, "Look, I'm not concentrating, not distracted at all, haha, haha." ā
"Hmph, don't try to fool around. The priest girl made a cute grimace, waved her white fist menacingly, and said, "Now I am afraid of waking up the eldest sister, so I will spare you first, and then settle accounts with you when the morning comes." ā
"I'm so innocent. Pannis muttered with an aggrieved face, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be stopped: "Actually, sometimes I think you are still very wise." ā
"What?" Lina asked, puzzled, "Why did I suddenly talk about this, where did I get wise?" ā
Pannis grinned and pointed to the top of his head, blinked strangely and said, "It's so hot here, only people like you can feel cooler, you should build yƬ and a few of them follow your example, put your hair ...... Hey, you're on the night watch. ā
"Bastard Pannis, you wait for me. The duty of the vigil made it impossible for the priest to free up her hand to punish Pennis, so she could only snort unwillingly, turning her head away from his smirking face.
"Well, don't be sleepy. Pannis, who still had the kind of smile on his face that made him want to hit someone, lay down and crossed his legs, waved the book in his hand, and said, "Your sister Katarina, you have a lot of experience in the past, and I finally know why you are so crazy now." ā
"Really? hehe. This time, the priest girl was not angry, but with the eyes of a dead man, she glanced at Pannis with pity and said, "Caterina said that she would encourage the blood girl to find you to move your body tomorrow morning, and I agreed." ā
"Hey, is it really the right thing for you to do this?" Pannis, who remembered the crazy bloodthirsty woman, had a headache, covered her face with the book in her hand and groaned, "Ah, I'm injured, so I'm going to be in bed from tomorrow to recuperate." ā
"Hmph, I'll put you in bed when the time comes. Lina wrinkled her nose and smiled mischievously, obviously in a good mood, humming an unknown nursery rhyme softly, and walking around the camp a few more times, as if she suddenly remembered something, and whispered: "Pennis, some time ago, when we were still with those demigods, did you have something on your mind?"
"I've always had things on my mind, every day. Pannis said without raising his head: "Since I get up in the morning, I have to ponder, what to eat today, where to drink today, to peep today, no, no, no, to admire the beautiful women, it is very energy-consuming to study these." ā
"I'm down to business, not kidding. Lina rolled her eyes, but although she was talking, her eyes were still fixed on the outer circle of the camp, and she turned her back and said, "I have a feeling that you wanted to say something to us at the time, but in the end you didn't say anything. ā
"It's really like they say, your senses are always very unreasonably keen, is this the instinct of small animals?" Pannis sighed, closed the book in his hand and sat up, and said solemnly: "That's right, I did have something to say to you, apologize to you, and most importantly apologize to Catherine. ā
"Apologize?" Lina was stunned for a moment, thought about it before she understood, and stroked her side face with her fingers and said, "Eldest sister was injured here." ā
"Yes, she almost died. Pannis nodded, "To be exact, each of you was almost chosen to die at that time. ā
"What's there to apologize for, since we've decided to come here with you, who wouldn't be prepared to die at any moment. Lina said nonchalantly: "Everyone has already been conscious. ā
"But if I had warned you in advance to be vigilant, there would have been no such danger. "But I didn't warn you in advance. ā
"You've reminded you so many times, but we've just ignored it. Lina shook her head during the rounds and said, "And, isn't that what you're for? ā
"Uh, hahaha. Pannis smiled awkwardly, but did not deny it.
"We're not stupid, although we didn't react at the time, but after thinking about it a little, we can naturally understand your intentions. Lina said softly: "So, you don't need to apologize at all, because we have never blamed you, and we believe that you will never harm us, so we will believe you unconditionally in whatever you do." ā
"yes, I tried to say it a few times, but Catherine digressed from it, and then I understood that she didn't want me to apologize. Pannis said, "But why do you suddenly say this?"
"It's nothing, I suddenly remembered. Lina hesitated for a moment, felt Pannis's eyes keep staring at her back, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, the eldest sister said just now, we are getting closer and closer to the temple of Danakus, and there is a possibility of finding a target at any time." So I thought, I should tell you all these things, because I'm worried about ......."
"Worried that I won't have a chance to talk about it in the future?" Seeing Lina, who was patrolling with her back to her, nodded slightly, the expression on Pannis's face became softer and softer, and she shook her head and said softly: "Don't worry, I will do my best so that everyone will not lose this opportunity...... Don't move, how do I feel like the light seems to change somewhat?"
"I didn't find out. Lina was stunned, and quickly dispersed the real vision in front of her, and then the color in front of her was restored: "It's true that nothing has changed, I'll go over and take a look." ā
However, before she could take a step, Pannis grabbed the crystal gun beside her and activated the magic circle at the sky, and the deafening sound of gunfire rang out in the silent night.
