(XLIV) Plan (Yuffie Stanmitz, I)
"--The so-called exploration team, are you little guys? I've been waiting for you for two whole days! ”
The first moment Yuffie and his party re-passed through the "Mirror Realm" and returned to the El Continent, they heard such a sentence. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unlike when entering, the position of leaving the Mirror Realm does not have to be fixed. In fact, it is also possible to leave the locks directly - although it is clearly not an option. They heeded Leonos' advice and returned to the place where they had come, only to see something they had not expected.
Judging from the surroundings, this is the same room where the mirrors were originally placed - except that the mirrors have been cracked into worthless pieces, and the delicate frames have been completely burned. The room was littered with the marks of fierce battles, the walls were littered with swords, whips, and wounds from the flames, and there was not a lot of furniture and furnishings, not a single one of which could still be seen as it was.
A boy of about ten years old sat leisurely on a solidified igneous rock with his legs crossed, looking at them with his eyes that shimmered with fire.
"Thou ...... Who is it? Lily rubbed her nose suspiciously, "It's dangerous here, little family—"
The young man snorted coldly, and a touch of red floated on his fingertips. Lily subconsciously turned her body to the side, and a dazzling light grazed her cheek, burning a black hole in the wall.
"He's not a child." Yuffie stopped Lily, who was a little annoyed, and explained, "As an elf in the fire elemental realm, he may be several times older than you and September combined. She turned to the young man with a slightly slower face, "What do I want to call you, and what can we do to help?" ”
"I'm Hart, Lord of Fire." The boy shouted, "Just call me His Highness Hart." He looked at everyone again, "Two demigod bodies, a dragon, and a Mithril golem...... The lineup is pretty good, but it's a pity it's a little weaker. ”
Yu Fei and Lin looked at each other helplessly and smiled, with the eyes of high-level elemental creatures, they were indeed a little lacking in strength. But that's not a bad thing, and the stronger the allies, the more likely they are to succeed in resolving the issue and return safely.
She looked around at the signs of battle and saluted the young man, "Your Highness Hart, you met that fire demon here?" ”
"Hmph." The boy looked a little angry, "I had a good fight with it, and I almost solved it!" It's a pity that it ran away—" said this, and the boy's face suddenly sank, "I'll chase it all the way—guess what I found?" ”
"The mastermind behind the Firedemons?" Lynn blinked, guessing.
The boy jumped down from the igneous rock, and the big cloud behind him rose high like a fiery red cloud.
"Abyss Lord's breath!" He seemed dissatisfied, "I said what they wanted to do, and they actually planned to summon the Abyss Lord - isn't there enough layers down there to entertain these trash!" He shook his hair, and the sparks flew into the air with his movements, "I'm not sure that I can solve that large piece of garbage with the interference of the fire demon, it seems that I can only rely on you guys!" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and the existence of the Abyss Lord was almost beyond everyone's cognition.
Legend has it that they are in charge of an entire level of the Abyss - it is a mystery how many layers the Endless Abyss has, but what is known is that each layer is nearly infinite in size. Even if the power of the lords cannot penetrate into every corner, the power they control far exceeds that of any country on the continent. Perhaps only those high-level civilizations that can freely travel through the crystal wall system and colonize several planets at the same time have the strength to confront them head-on.
Eskar clenched her hands worriedly, and Yudina stared at the boy with a stiff face. Amber took the cake out of her pocket, and somehow chewed it vigorously to relax. Bell pursed her mouth tightly, and Lily kept tapping her fingers against the greatsword, again without saying a word. Alphonse didn't know how to be afraid, but his eyes flashed rapidly, clearly trying to think.
"Abyss Lord." Only Lin walked up to Hart generously and waved her hand at him, "So Hart, what are we going to do?" ”
"It's His Highness Hart." The young man complained, unable to see the meaning of anger, "You guys find a way to drag the fire demon down, I don't care what to do." As for that big piece of garbage, just leave it to me! He said justifiably.
In this way, the problem is much simpler. Although I don't know how sure Hart is to repel the opponent, there is really no better choice now. Yuffie groaned for a moment, coughed lightly, and raised his head to meet the gazes of the others.
"Fire demons are not stupid, but their irascible tempers have greatly diminished their intelligence, and they are far less cunning than the demons of hell." She said calmly, hoping to infect everyone with her emotions, "It may be a little difficult to kill it, but it is not impossible to find a way to contain it for a while." She turned to the young man who was nodding to the side, "Your Highness Hart, how long will it take you?" ”
"Let me think about it......" the boy looked up, "ten minutes...... No, twenty minutes at most is enough! ”
"Well, our goal is twenty-five minutes." Yuffie said with certainty, using magic to project the three-dimensional structure of the research room, and as Hart described, to supplement the passage to the Abyss Lord. She stared at the 'map' for a moment, then exhaled softly.
"I'll do the task of luring the enemy, and that fire demon must be very annoyed that he didn't kill me last time. And this time, I'm sure I won't get caught by it. She said confidently, drawing a route on the map, "Lynn, when it catches up here, you're going to attack from this position and interfere with its movements—"
"Kind reminder." Hart interjected, "It's best to lure the fire demon to the ground!" ”
The girl nodded, and continued to narrate what everyone needed to do and what to do if something happened. Her composure seemed to have succeeded in easing the tension of the exploration team, and the rest of the group, including Hart, joined the discussion, coming up with practical or whimsical ideas to refine the plan.
"That's the basic tactic." After about half an hour, Yuffie ended the discussion with this sentence, "Your Highness Hart, if the Fire Demon is successfully lured out, the rest will be left to you, no problem, right?" ”
The boy snorted from his nose, as if he felt that the question was a little redundant.
"One more thing." Yuffie combed his hair and continued to ask the boy, "There are no other demons in this research room, right?" ”
"Of course!" The young man raised his chin, "If it weren't for wasting time and effort, I would have been able to burn the pile out there by myself!" ”
"Worthy of His Highness Hart." She smiled and complimented the boy, "Please wait a moment, someone has entrusted me with something, I want to take it out first." ”
She returned to the room where Misara had guarded her, went to the deepest part, and whispered another incantation that Miss Naga had given her.
A swirling black-silver vortex appeared in the air—a door to a miniature half-plane. She reached inside, pulled out a thick stack of research notes, and used a spell to compress them to the size of a palm, wrapped them in brown paper, and placed them in a small leather bag around her waist.
She returned to the rest of the group and stretched out her right hand, palm down. The members of the exploration team reached out knowingly, and folded it on the back of the girl's slender hand. Hart snorted with some disdain, but still put his hand up.
"Good luck to us." The girl whispered.
