Chapter 243: All the way north
readx;
The recovery power of the gifted knight was really not covered, and after only one night, Faren's injuries had already healed by seventy or eighty percent, and he had returned to his original appearance. www.biquge.info Looking at her lively appearance, I'm afraid no one can connect her with the guy who was injured and dying yesterday, of course, if an ordinary person is injured like that, I'm afraid it will be inevitable to lie down for half a year.
Of course, Yuren didn't forget to tell her about the situation in front of her after she woke up, and it should be said that she was worthy of being the top student of the Mage Association, and Faren immediately understood what Yuren meant, and then vowed that he would never use the power of destroying the surname again. Things seemed to be all happy, but ......... "Mr. Yuren?"
With some hesitation, Farin tugged at the corner of Yuren's clothes, and then looked a little worried not far away, where Offariel was sitting on a gravel in a daze. Her face was pale, and her whole person hung down against the wall as if it had burned out, giving people the impression that a lamp was about to go out.
"That...... Sister O'Faryl's face doesn't seem to be very good, is she hurt too?"
"All she hurts is her self-esteem, so if it's okay, let's get on the road. ”
"Oh............"
Although Offariel's mental trauma was probably not much lighter than Pherin's physical damage, her willpower was still strong. Although the thoughts of strangling, hacking, burning, pumping, beating, and stabbing Yulian to death had already turned in her mind countless times, when Yulian announced her departure, the girl still barely cheered up and volunteered to be a striker. After all, since her phantom surname can purify these ghost things, it is naturally much more convenient, although Offariel does not plan to learn Lei Feng's spirit and purify the entire ancient city with hard work, but if it is just to purify a passage, it will not be a problem at all. Moreover, in this way, Yulian and the others will be much easier, and they will no longer fight like before.
For Ofariel's proposal, Yulian naturally welcomed it, anyway, the Illusory Shadow surname will not consume much Manna power, plus Ofariel has an amazing amount of Manna reserves, and he is not afraid of being consumed, so there is no harm. Although the magic is neutralized in the area where the Illusory caste is cast, the power of the gifted knight can still be used. As for the twin sisters, they are already top-level existences in terms of both magic and cohesion, and Ofaril's phantom surname is not yet mature, so although it will have some influence, it will not reach the point of being unusable.
As for Faram, there is no objection, although most of her equipment has been destroyed due to the previous release of the Illusory Caste by Ofaril, but it is not a big problem, after all, her main battle axe is not decomposed and destroyed because it is made of Starfall Iron that does not belong to Manna at all, so it has not been decomposed and destroyed, and her combat power is still there. Of course, looking at those destroyed magic equipment, Fa Lian was also a little sad, after all, these things have been with him for many years, and now that they are broken like this, I am afraid that there is no way to repair them, which is a pity.
Of course, sadness is sadness, and what needs to be done still has to be done, so everyone quickly got back on the road. However, this time, everyone's position was adjusted, Yuren in front, the twin sisters scattered on both sides, and Farin in the back, forming a cross shape to surround Ofariel in the center, responsible for protecting her. Ofariel's task is very simple, as long as he keeps releasing the Phantom Caste and clearing a path, and those monsters who want to die will also be blocked by the other four.
It can be said that at this moment, Offariel has enjoyed a service that even the king of a country does not enjoy -- she walks leisurely in the middle, as if she is taking a walk, and in front of and behind her, there are four talented knight-level existences to escort her, if this kind of lineup is said, I am afraid it is enough to scare people to death.
Of course, Yuren didn't think about this method at the beginning, but he was not a mage himself after all, although the Phantom Caste being able to expel the lazy surname Manna was the result of research a long time ago, but for Yuren as a knight, he still trusted his own experience moreover, and Ofariel's mastery of skills was not yet mature, so it would be even more tricky if something went wrong. So Yuren's original plan was for O'Faryl to try it on a small scale first, and then use it slowly. After all, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and there are too many dangers in this ghost place, and if you are reckless, you will only encounter more dangers. Moreover, the four talented knights on their side are not vegetarians, which is more than enough to face this kind of scene.
It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and even Yulian didn't expect that Ofariel hadn't gone out of the way yet, and Faren had a big problem, so he had no choice but to advance the plan, and through last night's observation, it was seen that the area purified by the Phantom Shadow was not polluted again, which showed that its effect could still be guaranteed. So, when O'Fariel offered it today, Yuren didn't object again.
In fact, since adjusting the tactics, everyone has indeed been much more relaxed, the scope of Ofariel's purification is not large, and it is only a street, but those shadow monsters have no way to get close, they have also tried to besiege before, but the moment they touch the edge of the phantom aura, they dissipate like melting snow. Seeing that there was really no way, these shadow monsters changed their tactics again, and began to try to attack from a distance, at the beginning, they still used a part of their body as a weapon to throw vibrations, but unfortunately it was also Mana's condensation, and when it came to the aura of the phantom surname, it naturally disappeared, not only did these shadow monsters soon change the way they fought, the more they went inside, the larger the size of the shadow monsters, and therefore, they simply smashed those houses, or lifted the entire house and threw it at the five people。
Of course, such an attack does look terrifying, and when you look at such a large house rushing towards you, the shock level is not to be underestimated, but at the moment, of course, these four gifted knights will not take these attacks seriously.
At first, Offariel was also a little worried, but soon put her mind at ease, with these four people by her side, Offariel's possible surname of being attacked was almost zero, so gradually, she stopped paying attention to the affairs of the outside world, and instead began to think about a problem that she had been struggling with since last night.
Did Yuren-sama mean it?
As a man, doesn't he know how important the first kiss is to a woman's surname? Moreover, he was just a little hesitant at that time to do this kind of thing between the female surname and the female surname, whether there would be any problems, and he was not entangled in what the first kiss was not the first kiss, and the kiss between girls was not a normal communication...... Wait, is that really what he thinks? Or does Yuren-sama like me?
No, that's unlikely.
Ofaril thought about it, he had been following this lord for a while, although he was indeed mysterious and strange in some places, but he was not a greedy person, and he had been teased by him all along, and he couldn't see from Yulian's attitude that the other party liked him. And there is no shortage of beauties around Yulian, Messiah and Semiya are too young, not to mention, Charlotte and Judy are both very beautiful and moving female surnames, and even as a female surname, you can see that Charlotte is in love with Yulian, looking at Yulian's attitude, he seems to know this, but he has not changed either.
Why, then, did he suddenly kiss himself? Didn't he think that he also had the right to choose?
Thinking of this, Ofaril felt a little angry, but this anger lasted for less than a fraction of a second before disappearing completely.
The reason is simple, she really doesn't have a choice.
As a soul condenser, she is not human, and it is Yuren who gives her body, and in terms of physique, Ofaril is not confident that she will make others like her.
Secondly, as Yuren's adjutant, she is basically busy with business every day, and Ofariel was not a very sensitive person to love before her death, and she is the same after death, and she basically has no special feelings for men. If you want to let her choose, except for Yuren, Ofariel really can't have a second name in her head.
In the end, in addition to the lord's lieutenant, his identity outside is still his fiancée! The fiancé kisses his fiancée, which is simply a matter of course!
There's really no way to refute it.
The more she thought about this, the more depressed O'Faryl became, her gaze staring at Yuren's back was full of resentment, and now it was not just because the other party forcibly took the first kiss, but to the point where there was no refutation at all, and of course it was reasonable to resent.
"Huh, why does it seem a little cold?"
You Lian couldn't help but shudder, and then he looked around curiously, and muttered to himself in confusion.
"Probably an illusion. ”
Even Yulian is not omnipotent.
Although because of O'Fariel's help, Yulian and his party were much more relaxed, but this ancient city is too big, a city that can accommodate tens or even millions of people, not to mention the dangers inside, the area itself is scary enough. Therefore, although the speed of the crowd has increased, it is still stop-and-go, but at least it is much faster than before.
However, everyone knows that they are not the only ones who are passing by.
"Captain, Manna here has been purified. ”
With the sound of an urn rattling, a metal object illuminated by the sun turned around, and a human voice came out of it.
They were four giant metal monsters, which on the surface looked like four giant humanoid constructs, but, unlike humans, these metal demon bases were made of four legs, arranged in four horns, and supported the heavy body drive above. On the metal chassis was a large humanoid form, a round ruby that swung around its head, emitting a little red light. And its two hands are now in the form of cannons and shields, judging from the black smoke and traces emitted from them, they have experienced a harsh battle just now.
At this moment, four metal golems of the same form were standing on a wide street, vigilantly watching the surroundings, not far away, those shadow monsters were still ready to move, but they could not take half a step beyond the thunder pool.
Just now, these mages finally came here, but to their surprise, in this place full of shadow monsters, they found a clean avenue, which surprised these mages, they didn't expect this kind of thing at all, but the truth told them that there was no problem at all. After all, this avenue is like the only path to light in the darkness, and it is so conspicuous that it is impossible to ignore it.
"It seems, as I thought, that there are other people here besides us. ”
"Who could that be?"
The other person asked suspiciously.
"The only people who know about this operation are a few of us and a few cronies of the mentor, how could we leak the ......?"
"Hmph, cronies, how many of those guys in the Mage Guild are trustworthy? Have you forgotten about the assassination a few days ago? But fortunately, it was only some mercenaries who died, and although that guy didn't show up again, it seems that they are planning to appear again now. Although I don't know how much the mentor's plan has been exposed, but looking at the current situation, the other party has obviously walked ahead of us. ”
The leading mage snorted coldly. There are also many factions within the Mage Association, although there is no superficial competition between the twelve-star archmages, but there are occasional disagreements in private, this matter is so tight, and the mentor has also made the safest confidentiality plan, but now it seems that no matter how to keep the secret plan, there will always be loopholes, since it is carried out by people, then it will be even more so. Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the other party has been prepared for this as long as himself, and their strength is probably not below him.
Yesterday they had already noticed that someone had followed them into the city, and these mages also thought that the other party might have something to do with the forces that tried to assassinate them a few days ago (the conscience of heaven and earth, you can even guarantee that it has nothing to do with sincerity), but at that time, these mages did not take each other seriously, the reason is simple, they were prepared here, but the other party did not. Judging from the previous situation, those people obviously followed themselves in, but they didn't expect that this place would be so dangerous, in their opinion, these guys would resist for a moment at most, and then they would die completely, so naturally they didn't need to pay attention. And the subsequent development also proved the judgment of these mages, and after a while, the area returned to tranquility, which also made the mages no longer care. However, it now seems that their judgment was clearly wrong.
After all, facts speak louder than words.
"So, what are we going to do?"
Another person asked with some confusion, in fact, although they had already understood and prepared for this top-secret mission long before entering the city, or when they received this top-secret mission from their mentor, there was always a gap between the truth and the imagination. On the first day, these mages had lost all their mercenary guards, and now there was no one else left except the four of them who survived because they were able to fly the Golem.
In fact, although Yulian and the others fell down due to an accident before, these mages were also better, after all, since Offariel opened the way, Yulian and the others have been much easier. However, these mages are fighting while fighting, and their speed is naturally affected. At this moment, they are more like the rabbit that has fallen behind in the tortoise and hare race.
"Although we also have a device that can release the Illusory Caste, the other party is obviously more powerful than us, at least I don't know if anyone in the Mage Guild has created this kind of equipment that can release the Illusory Energy without interruption. ”
"There's no point in guessing either. ”
The leader interrupted the other party's somewhat worried speech.
"Since they are going faster than we are, and have carved out a path for us, we might as well follow them, and for now, everybody, be vigilant, and remember, go so that they don't find us. I don't know why these guys are here, but if they have the same purpose as us, then we can grab them while they are unprepared, and we don't have to dig up, understand?"
"But, Captain, in case these people do have ........."
"Don't worry. ”
The mage at the head interrupted his subordinates once again. He laughed confidently, then raised his head and looked into the distance, where the ruins of the ancient city exuded a thick chill under the sunlight, and the heavy shadow seemed to cover the whole city with a dark curtain, blurred, although the situation was a somewhat unexpected development, but for the mage, this kind of accident is also a part of the test of his wisdom and ability, just encounter this kind of thing and be frightened, then what kind of mage?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at his companions with contempt, although the level of this group of guys is not low, but it is not very high, the reason why they can be allowed to participate in this operation is mainly because they are loyal enough, and the final task, it seems that they still have to complete it by themselves, relying on these wastes, there is no hope. However, if you think about it this way, on the surface he still has to be full of confidence.
"The mentor was prepared. ”
Hearing this, the other three mages all breathed a sigh of relief, obviously, they still trusted their mentor very much, since she had been prepared for this, then she didn't have to worry about anything.
But they didn't see the contemptuous, sarcastic smile that was hidden under the cold shell.
