(81) Catastrophe (Yuffie Stanmiz, VIII)
It didn't take long for the whiteness that had obscured everything to fade from Yufie's eyes, and her ears could once again hear voices other than the roar. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info from every part of her body, mixed with burning and pinprick pain, proved that what she had just experienced did not happen in a dream.
She struggled to brace herself, and a sharp wave of vertigo passed through her brain, causing her to nearly fall to the ground again. Yuffie gasped for breath, letting her mind slowly regain its composure. She understood that it was the after-effects of overuse of magic, and that it only needed a good night's sleep to completely eliminate it.
But there are so many things more important to her than getting a good night's sleep.
She staggered over to the blonde girl not far away, put her finger on her friend's forehead, and felt the faint but still clear signs of life. She breathed a sigh of relief, and despite the dizziness and dull pain in the back of her head, she summoned the power that Eda had given her and gently injected it into Lynn's body.
After a while, Lin groaned, as if she had regained consciousness.
"We ...... Did you win? She gasped weakly, apparently taking the black dragon's blow head-on, it was not an easy thing for her, "Well done......"
The darkness that covered the entire canopy of the sky gradually dissipated as the black dragon vanished, and 'Tess' once again poked its head out of the thin clouds. However, Yuffie looked around and couldn't see Grace and Noka.
"I don't know." Yuffie replied in a low voice, her eyes continuing to explore her surroundings, "Where is Grace, and ...... What about NOKA? ”
"Grace, she's fine, don't worry." Lin patted her on the back comfortingly, "The vitality of the spirit of the secret method is very strong, I sent her back to the half-plane, as long as she recuperates for a few days, she will be as full of vitality as before." ”
The good news alleviated Yuffie's uneasiness. But she still remembered the scene before: the little Gernor man shouted slogans, rushed at the dragon, hundreds of times larger than him, and then there was a light-
She followed her memory and slowly walked to the bottom of where the dragon had been, hoping to find a trace of Noka's traces, but was disappointed. There were only scattered leaves and dead branches on the ground, whether it was fragments of flying wings, or clothing, or whatever, as if they had never existed.
The girl sighed and slowly raised her head, just in time to meet the other pair of smiling eyes.
"Noka is with me." Mantianxing said.
Yuffie seemed to understand what the other person meant, but couldn't fully confirm it. But she didn't even have the strength to continue asking, so she just glared at the other party slightly.
"I didn't carry combat components, so I couldn't help you before. But wouldn't it sound fair if the main contributor to solving the incident died like this? "I have deposited his soul in my body temporarily, and if my mother agrees, he will have a new body - a doll, of course." ”
In the last half of the sentence, Yuffie couldn't tell if she had it
I heard it clearly—maybe it was just something she had imagined to add. As the stars seemed to be saying something, she curled up on the dry ground and fell asleep.
……
When Yuffie woke up, it was noon.
Wisps of rich aroma came from her side, and her appetite couldn't help but squirm. She swallowed, stretched slightly, got up, and walked in the direction the scent had come from.
A crucible was being set up on the furnace used for the experiment, and the cream, jerky, and freshly picked mushrooms were tumbling inside. This wasn't the first time Lynn had done this kind of thing, and when she was at the academy, people who had taken Lynn's brain-rejuvenating potions or body-strengthening potions often felt that they had a taste that didn't belong to the potion itself, but it wasn't annoying, and it was different every time - and that's why, of course.
"Did you sleep well?" Lin turned her head and waved her to say good morning, "You suddenly collapsed yesterday, which really scared me." ”
"I'm sorry." Yuffie shook her head and pursed the corners of her mouth a little self-deprecatingly, "I overestimated my strength. Luckily, there was Noka in the ...... this time It's a pity that it still dragged him down. ”
Her expression became a little more serious, "In the future, I'm afraid we will have to be more cautious." It's better not to have a second time in this dangerous situation. ”
"But, judging by the results, the adventure was worth it." Lin waved her hand and offered a different opinion, "Saving the lives of the youkai and destroying the atrocity of the Youkai is successful enough, right?" ”
That's right, Yuffie thought to herself. In the future, it is clear that "avoiding risks" is not the best option. So, how to weigh the risk and reward may be the subject she has to consider.
"Besides, the stars have saved Noka's soul, so everything is okay?" Lin continued, taking out two clay bowls from her waist bag and scooping the soup into the pot, "Come, eat something first." ”
The two of them each held a slightly hot clay bowl, sipped a delicious and rich hot soup, and used the warm sunlight and delicious food to restore the still tired body and mind.
After a while, the stars came from a distance—and when Yuffie woke up, she seemed to have gone somewhere else. Lin handed her another clay bowl, and the doll girl took some soup to herself, then took a sip.
"Not bad." "I've just been to the nearest village and the residents are getting better, and they'll be back in a few days," she said. She took another sip of soup, "As for the dead youkai, you don't need to feel sorry for it. For the demon clan, life and death are destiny, and death is not something to be overly sad about. ”
Although the puppet girl is a little cold on the surface, she is actually a gentle person, Yu Fei thought to herself. As for the situation of the other party to investigate the village during this time, it was also not surprising to her. She could feel the mystery hidden in the body of the "doll" that was far beyond what she had ever learned. If the puppet girl carries the so-called "combat component", it is likely to be much stronger than she is currently there.
She couldn't help but wonder what kind of person Luo Zhen should be who could produce such a 'work', and whether he would have something in common with the former Dean Iger.
"Thank you." She put down the bowl in her hand and said to the girl in the dress, "In that case, the purpose of our coming here is probably accomplished." Next, are you going to take us to your mother, Starry Sky? ”
Man Tianxing shook his head and continued to answer her question softly.
"Not yet. I need to return to Xiyang City and submit an investigation report to the Council of Elders. As a participant, I hope you will come with me. She tilted her head slightly, not taking her eyes off Yuffie for a moment, "Of course, if you want, you can leave first and go to meet my mother." ”
Yuffie shook her head slightly. Although she received clues that might be related to her mother, she did not have the urgency she expected.
There are countless secrets hidden in this continent, and if you go to the most prosperous city of the demon clan and come into contact with the Council of Elders as the ruler, you may be able to learn more about the origin of the alliance and the history that may not be known to the public.
"I'd love to walk with you." She held out her right hand to the other, "May we have a good journey." ”
