Final Volume: Chapter 44
"That's not what the old minister meant. "I'm saying we have to come up with a safest plan, not only to make sure that the people who are being rescued can escape safely, but also that the people who go in can get out safely," Kerr explained. ā
"Elder Naker, what do you think?"
Kerr said: "First of all, I think that in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the monsters, there should not be too many people in it, and it is enough to choose a team of four. ā
Rod nodded.
"Second, these four people must be good hands, not only wise and brave, agile, and not chaotic in the face of danger, it is best to be the kind that is one against a hundred. ā
"Finally, you have to know where the cell is and then work out the safest and shortest route. ā
Rod nodded and said, "Elder Kerr is reasonable, this matter is urgent, let's select those four people now, what do you propose?"
"Just let me go!" At this moment, the door opened, and Goode strode in and said, "Rod, I am willing to go to the forest of Mira. ā
"Goode, have you come back from patrol? What's the matter?" asked Rod.
"We have two more corpses outside the North City, and the death is the same as before, so I think the monster should still have a party. Goode said: "And I just learned from the soldiers that the monsters were originally transformed by humans, so I think that more than one person has been killed now, and I must hurry up and rescue them as soon as possible before they are all turned into monsters, so I am willing to take on this job." ā
"Looks like we're going to have to stop this madness. Rod said, "So who else can you recommend?"
General Rag said, "The minister would like to go with him." ā
"General Rag?"
"General Rag, I don't think you can go. Goode said.
"Why?"
"You're tall and not suitable for hiding, and since we're going to stealthily save people in this operation, I'm afraid your body isn't suitable. ā
"This ......" Ragher was speechless.
"Why don't you ask the warrior-sama to help?" said Kerr, "She's always wanted to go to the Mira Forest, and I think she'll agree." ā
Kerr had a point. Rod said, "Someone." ā
"Here!" the two soldiers heard Rhodes call. Immediately walked in.
"You immediately invite Miss Lin Luoran to come here and say that there is something important to discuss. ā
"Don't bother. At this moment, Lin Luoran and Zhao Ling walked in from outside the door, and Lin Luoran said, "I'm already here." ā
"That's good, we have something important to do that we need Miss Lin Luoran to help us with. ā
"Actually, I had already heard Zhao Ling say it before I came. Lin Luoran said: "I am willing to go to the Mira Forest together." ā
"That's great!" Rod said.
"But I have one condition. ā
"If you want gold, silver and jewelry, we have them. Rod said.
"No! I don't need that. Lin Luoran said: "The people who go with me are up to me." ā
"This ......"
"Don't worry. The people I appoint are carefully chosen. Lin Luoran smiled: "Plus with my leadership, I will definitely be able to rescue people." ā
"Then who does Miss Lin Luoran want to go with?"
"I need Chen Fan, Zhao Ling and Rose. ā
"What!" As soon as everyone heard this, there was an exclamation immediately, Chen Fan didn't say it for the time being, but the weak little girls like Rose and Zhao Ling would also be chosen, and it was indeed a little difficult to convince the public.
"Warrior, wait a minute!" said Good, "why didn't you choose me?"
"Because you're useless. Lin Luoran glanced at Goode and said.
"What are you talking about!" Goode was a little frustrated: "You stinky ......"
"Good!" Gude was about to scold Lin Luoran, but Rhodes immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Miss Lin Luoran. Rod still said politely: "It's not that we don't agree with the people you have picked, but I hope you can give us a selection criterion." To put it simply, I hope you can explain why you chose these people. ā
Lin Luoran glanced at Rhodes and said, "I think with your intelligence, it is impossible not to think of it, right?"
Rhodes replied: "Brother Chen Fan has extraordinary courage and strong strength, I think it is natural to choose him, but Zhao Ling and Rose ...... I just don't understand. ā
Lin Luoran sighed and said, "I'm sure you don't know where that cell is, right? If we catch a monster, we can use Rose's abilities to get a lot of information out of its brain. And Rose can also heal, even if we are injured, we can treat it in time. ā
"......" Rod muttered: "What about Sister Zhao Ling, why did you choose a little girl to go to such a dangerous place?"
"Zhao Ling, it seems that you have been underestimated. Lin Luoran said: "I said that you are usually a little majestic." ā
Zhao Ling covered her face and replied shyly: "I'm like this, who makes people so cute?"
"Vomit...... Why do I feel like I want to throw up?" thought to everyone.
Lin Luoran looked at Rod squarely and said, "You may not know, I believe that Zhao Ling's strength is stronger than all of you." ā
"You probably don't know. I don't believe it either" Lin Luoran said: "However, Zhao Ling's strength is indeed stronger than all of you present." ā
"What are you kidding!" Goode pointed at Zhao Ling and roared, "A little girl is stronger than us, are you underestimating our Mira clan?"
"No, I didn't underestimate your strength. Lin Luoran said lightly: "I'm just telling the truth." ā
"Damn, you can't ...... it"
"Goode. Calm down!" Rod shouted.
Hearing Rod shouting angrily, Goode snorted and stopped talking.
"Miss Lin Luoran, if you fail this time, the other party will take precautions. Rod said politely: "So we can only succeed and not fail in this operation, I always feel that this combination is dangerous, I hope you can think twice." ā
"I've thought twice. Lin Luoran said, "Lord Rod, do you not want Zhao Ling to go or don't you want Rose to go?"
"I ......" Rhodesser.
"This mission would not have been successful if I had not followed my plan. Lin Luoran said: "The candidates I just mentioned must all be present." ā
"But ......"
"But Princess Rose is afraid that it is inconvenient to go to such a dangerous place. Rhodes was about to say something. Kerr preemptively said.
"Are you afraid that if I don't protect Rose well, what danger will she encounter?"
"I'm not saying that Lord Warrior didn't protect Princess Rose well. "It's just that if there are too many monsters, there will be times when you are overwhelmed." ā
"Old man, I think you underestimate me too much. Lin Luoran said mercilessly: "I'm not arrogant, but like this kind of monster, a hundred of them together can't get a single hair on me." ā
Lin Luoran walked out of the door and said, "Do you want to do it or not." If there are no of these candidates, I will not accept this task. ā
"Miss Lin Luoran, wait a minute. Rhodes said, "Why don't you take me with you?" ā
"Lord Rhodes......" the officials shouted in unison.
Rod made a gesture to shut up and continued, "Miss Lin Luoran, with my ability, I will definitely not hold you back. ā
Lin Luoran pondered for a while and said, "No, it's not a question of whether to drag on or not, but a question of no need for so many people." ā
"But ......"
"Well, don't say it again, I'm still talking the same. If you don't want to fail this rescue mission, you can agree with Princess Rose to go with us, I just make a suggestion, and the decision is up to you whether to implement it or not. Lin Luoran said and walked out of the conference room.
Zhao Ling followed.
"Hmph, what a super soldier, it's just no one. Goode punched the wall. Cracks like cobwebs burst into the pink walls.
"Goode, calm down. Rod said.
"Lord Rhodes. Kerr said: "Actually, if you look at the whole thing from an objective point of view. I also think Princess Rose will go with her. ā
"Elder Kerr, do you think so?"
"Lord Rod, imagine that we have so little information about the Mira Forest that it will take a long time to search for them blindly. Kerr analyzed: "But if you bring Princess Rose." As the warrior said, if we capture an enemy alive, we can really use Princess Rose's mind-reading skills to gather the information we need in a short period of time. That's really the best way to do it. ā
In fact, Rod also knew in his heart that if Rose went with him, it would indeed provide great benefits for saving people, but if he wanted his most cherished sister to take this risk, how could he rest assured as an elder brother?
"Damn!"
"Lord Rhodes. Kerr said: "If you really can't rest assured, then it is better to ask the little girl named Zhao Ling not to go, and Lord Rhodes will personally go to protect the safety of Princess Rose." ā
"That seems to work. Goode said: "Besides, that little girl named Zhao Ling can't see any ability, why don't you discuss it with the martial artist?"
"Okay, then I'll protect Rose myself. Rod said: "Everyone, the meeting has come to an end for the time being, and I will definitely choose the right person in these days, so please come back." ā
After saying that, Rod immediately ran in the direction where Lin Luoran left.
Everyone also left the venue when they saw Rod leave.
The top floor of Gangyang Building, Rose's room.
"Rose. Chen Fan sat next to Rose and asked, "How do you feel now?"
Rose shook her head: "No, it's all up to Brother Chen Fan to take care of me by my side." ā
"Where. Chen Fan blushed a little, scratched his head and said, "Actually, I didn't do anything, I just walked around here in the morning, and I was in a hurry." At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and Lin Luoran and Zhao Ling rushed in.
"Yes, I'm sorry. Chen Fan immediately apologized to Lin Luoran.
"Why are you apologizing to me?" Lin Luoran asked puzzled.
"I saw that you seemed to be angry, so I apologized first. ā
"Alas...... Should I also say that you are useless or should I say that you are cowardly?" Lin Luoran was helpless: "I didn't come to you this time, I came to find Rose." ā
"Looking for me?" Chen Hong translated.
"Yes. Lin Luoran said: "After my deep thought, I need your help to save people in the Mira Forest, are you willing to go with me?"
"Do you need Rose to save people?" Chen Fan exclaimed, "But if you want Rose to go to such a dangerous place......
"Brother Chen Fan. Rose made a stopping gesture and said, "I'm not afraid, Sister Lin Luoran, if you need me to go." I'll definitely be there to help. ā
Lin Luoran said: "But your brother doesn't seem to let you go, so I'll ask your opinion, if you want to go, then everything will be easy." At this moment, Rod also rushed in, and he shouted, "Miss Lin Luoran......"
"Brother!" didn't wait for Rod to finish. Rose interrupted Rod's words: "You don't need to say it anymore, I am willing to go to Mira Forest with Sister Lin Luoran." ā
"No, Rose, I'm not here to stop you. Rod said, "Miss Lin Luoran, can you take me with you without letting Sister Zhao Ling go......?"
"No, I can't. Lin Luoran refused sharply: "Zhao Ling is much more suitable than you, and she is better than you in terms of both assistance and combat power." ā
"But as a sixteen-year-old girl, I still couldn't rest assured. ā
"Otherwise. Lin Luoran proposed: "You have a duel with Zhao Ling, whoever wins, I will choose whoever goes with me." What do you think?"
"Huh?" Zhao Ling exclaimed, "Sister Lin Luoran, do you want me to fight against Brother Rod?"
"Miss Lin Luoran, do you want me to bully a little girl?"
"It's still uncertain who bullied whom, do you agree?" Lin Luoran said.
Rod pondered for a moment and replied resolutely, "If you can go if you win, then well, I agree." ā
"Uh!" Zhao Ling shouted, "What kind of rotten plot is this?"
"If you don't agree with my arrangement, you can compete with Zhao Ling. Whoever wins will be eligible to participate in this life-saving mission. How?" Lin Luoran asked Rod in a cold tone.
"Yes, I promise!" replied Rod resolutely.
"Uh!" Zhao Ling exclaimed, "This ...... How did it come to this?"
"Wait a minute......"
"Wait a minute!" just as Rose was about to say something, Chen Fan immediately shouted first.
Everyone immediately stared at Chen Fan.
"What do you want?" Lin Luoran asked coldly.
"I don't agree with this competition. Chen Fan said awe-inspiringly.
"Why?" Lin Luoran was puzzled.
"Brother Chen Fan, do you mean that I will definitely lose?" Rod said indignantly: "Although I lost to the knights of the underworld, I asked myself that I would not be so weak that I couldn't even win against a little girl. ā
"Don't you think it's too strange?" Chen Fan asked rhetorically, "Why didn't we fight the enemy, but we actually fought ourselves? Isn't it too strange for you to lose your cool like this? Don't you think this competition is ridiculous?"
"Yes. Brother Rhodes. Rose also persuaded: "You have always been calm, why are you so impatient now?"
"Because ......" Seeing his sister's worried look, Rod hurriedly explained: "Because it's all to protect your safety!"
"Brother is lying!" Rose said with tears in her eyes.
"I ......"
"Actually, my brother doesn't want Sister Lin Luoran to look down on you, do you think that you are the patriarch of the Mira clan after all, how can you not compare to a sixteen-year-old girl, and say that you want to protect me. Just trying to make excuses for this vanity!"
"I ...... Actually......"
"Such a brother, Rose hates it the most!"
"No, it's not. Hearing that his heart was revealed by Rose, Rod's whole person knelt in front of Rose as if he had lost his strength: "I...... I ......"
"Brother Rhodes. Chen Fan stepped forward and reassured: "Actually, I can't blame you for this, I believe that you did this step to protect Rose, but your method was wrong." ā
"Brother Chen Fan. Rod looked at Chen Fan blankly, not knowing what to say for a while.
Rose also knelt in front of Rhodes and said, "Brother, I know that you wanted to go with me out of concern at the beginning, but my brother only distorted this mind in the end." ā
"Rose, I'...... I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Rod bowed to Rose on the ground and said excitedly, probably because he felt repentant, so his voice kept trembling.
"Brother. Rose picked up Rod and said, "I don't blame my brother, and I don't really mind what my brother said just now, so my brother doesn't have to blame himself, just stand up first." ā
"Rose. Rod slowly stood up with Rose's support.
"Rod. Chen Fan said: "As the patriarch, you must preside over the overall affairs of the clan, if you leave." In case there is some sudden incident in life, and there are no dragons in the Mira tribe, what do you say this should be?"
ā......ā
"I don't think Lin Luoran made such an arrangement because your strength is weaker than Zhao Ling, but because he considered that the clan can't be without a king for a day. Chen Fan glanced at Lin Luoran and said, "Are you right, Lin Luoran?"
In fact, Chen Fan knew. With Lin Luoran's character, how could he think about other people's affairs, this team member's choice must only be chosen out of the needs of the task, and Chen Fan said this just to think that Rod should not be so persistent.
"This ......" Lin Luoran saw Chen Fan's eyes, and immediately understood, and replied reluctantly: "That's it, that's what I think." In Lin Luoran's opinion, she didn't want to have any competition before she went, and she had just pressed herself too hard because of Rhodes. That's why I made this decision, but I knew that Chen Fan was now solving the siege for everyone, so he also cooperated.
"But do you really want Sister Zhao Ling to go with you?" Rod was still puzzled: "Sister Zhao Ling is just a little girl, do you really want to take her to such a dangerous place?"
"Brother Rhodes. Chen Fan put his arm on Rod's shoulder and said, "I said that you really underestimate this girl, don't look at her like this, this girl is actually very powerful!"
When Rod heard Chen Fan say this, he immediately looked at Zhao Ling carefully with puzzled eyes, and still asked puzzledly: "What is so powerful about Sister Zhao Ling." Forgive the shallow eyes below, and you can't see one or two. ā
"Zhao Ling. You are to blame for all this. Lin Luoran said coldly.
"Blame, blame me, why?"
"Didn't I tell you not to pretend to be a child?
Zhao Ling said indignantly: "Eh, this is determined by my personality and appearance, if I want to be as petty and despicable, damn and cruel as Sister Lin Luoran, I can't do it!"
"If you don't say these eight adjectives, you're going to be uncomfortable, aren't you?" said Lin Luoran, pulling Zhao Ling's face hard.
"The house and the house are more than the old and the ground, and they are more than happy. (IāI didn't mean to.) I'm sorry. ļ¼
Lin Luoran snorted and let go of Zhao Ling.
"Hmm...... It hurts, it hurts, it's harder than the previous ones. Zhao Ling poked her red face and complained in a low voice.
"Brother Chen Fan. Rod said: "Sister Zhao Ling is just a little girl no matter how you look at it, you said that she is very capable." It's kind of unbelievable. ā
"Rhodes Brothers" Chen Fan said: "The last time I fought Sora, do you remember the big bang that happened?"
"Big explosion?" Rhodes thought for a moment: "Was it the last time Sola used all the strength in his body to attack you?" I still have the impression that that attack was indeed very powerful, and I was surprised why Brother Chen Fan didn't die!"
"Then do you know why all of you Mira were safe at the time?"
"I remember......" Rhodes mused, "I remember that there seemed to be some hexagonal glass in front of us to protect us, so that we could have avoided that big explosion." ā
"Actually, not only that, but you may not have noticed. Lin Luoran said: "Those hexagonal glasses also protected the interior of the Gangyang Building from the impact of the explosion. ā
"Then ......" Rhodes immediately realized: "You mean that those hexagonal glasses were released by Zhao Ling's sister?"
"It's called the Occult Mirror. Chen Hong interjected proudly: "It wasn't Zhao Ling who released it, I released it, and Zhao Ling is just responsible for the work of entering orders." ā
"What is it called'? Zhao Ling said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think anyone can input that kind of command? Do you think anyone can drive you?"
"That's right, Brother Rhodes, that kind of extremely defensive barrier was used by Zhao Ling, so you should know Zhao Ling's strength by now, right?"
"I see. Rod nodded: "With such a strong defensive network, no wonder Miss Lin Luoran will choose Sister Zhao Ling, I am convinced." ā
"In other words, do you agree with my decision?" Lin Luoran asked.
Rod nodded and said, "Then leave everything to Miss Lin Luoran." ā
"That's right. Chen Fan said: "Didn't you say that there were four people going? Lin Luoran, Zhao Ling and Rose only have three, right?
As soon as Chen Fan's words came out, everyone stared at Chen Fan's face in unison.
"Do you really not know or are you pretending to be garlic?" Lin Luoran said coldly: "Of course, there is another one, of course." ā
"Oh, is it me?" I guessed ......early in the morning," Chen Fan's smile immediately stiffened, and then he shouted, "What! You're going to drag me to that dangerous place again?"
"It's just that you don't have a choice among the four. Lin Luoran said as he walked out of the door: "We will come out tomorrow, you should be mentally prepared." ā
"Hey!Lin Luoran. Don't you go so fast, or we'll talk about it!"
"Hehe!" Rose smiled: "It's the first time to take an adventure with Brother Chen Fan, so Brother Chen Fan, a lot of advice!"
"That's a lot of advice!" Chen Fan said with a wry smile.
Swords made of sunlight can't penetrate the shields formed by the clouds, so the sky is gray today, and the cold wind is chilling the earth, and it seems that the Winter Messenger will soon be here. According to the original plan, Chen Fan, Lin Luoran, Zhao Ling and Rose went out today to rescue the trapped people in Mira Forest, which is the city gate to the east of Xingyao City.
Rhodes, Good, the elders, and some soldiers and civilians also came to see him off.
"Miss Lin Luoran. Rhodes said, "Are you sure their nest is on the east side and not on the north side?"
Lin Luoran smiled confidently: "Although I don't know why they committed crimes in the north, if all the people of the sixth team of the forest detection team were captured by the enemy, the delirious soldier would have escaped, and you found him in the east, that is to say, the enemy's lair ** is in the east." ā
"We talked about that last night. I think you have a point. Rod said with a frown.
"Rod, don't worry. Lin Luoran said: "Even if we guess wrong, we still have Rose here, and we can know the enemy's location by using mind reading, so you don't have to worry about this matter." ā
Rod nodded and said to Rose: "Rose, you have to be careful in everything, if you don't think it's okay, don't force yourself." Be sure to come back safely. ā
"Brother, I see. Don't worry, with Brother Chen Fan, Sister Lin Luoran and Sister Zhao Ling protecting me, I won't be in any danger. ā
Chen Fan said: "Don't worry, Rod, I will definitely protect Rose." It won't give her a scar. ā
Rod nodded and replied, "Brother Chen Fan, then I'll leave everything to you." ā
"Okay, what else do you have to bring?" Lin Luoran asked.
"I'll see, I'll see. Zhao Ling said while finding it in the big backpack: "Kettle, iron fist, chopsticks, spoon, iron pot ......"
"Hey, I said, girl. What are you doing with all this? Do you think we're going to have a picnic?"
"That's not clear to you. Zhao Ling pretended to be a scholar and said: "We must eat when we enter the forest, since we must have utensils to eat, so we say ......."
"Wait, do you think we're going to stay there for a long time?" Chen Fan said helplessly: "Let's go for a day or two and come back, why don't we just bring some dry food?"
"Eh, I thought I would be going for a long time!" Zhao Ling exclaimed, "So not?"
Chen Fan covered his head and said, "I'm starting to have a headache." ā
"Haha!" everyone laughed.
"Then I still don't bring these things. After that, Zhao Ling took out the cooking utensils that looked like a hill and put them on the ground, and then said to Rod with a smile: "Brother Rhodes, please help bring them back to my room, remember not to miss one!"
Everyone looked at the hill in front of them made of cooking utensils, and were very surprised, Zhao Ling brought so many useless things to save people, and more importantly, why Zhao Ling's backpack could hold so many things, and a sixteen-year-old girl didn't feel heavy walking around with these things on her back all day?
Everyone was surprised, and no one said this "backpack doubt", after Rhodes ordered the three soldiers to clean up the hill, Lin Luoran said again: "It should be okay now, right?"
"Wait a minute. Chen Fan said: "Why don't I also bring a sword or something, I don't think it feels safe to enter the forest empty-handed." ā
"Brother Chen Fan, what kind of weapon do you want to use?" asked Rode.
"Sword, I think it's easier to sword. Chen Fan replied.
"Then I'll send someone to bring you a sharper sword. Rhodes said, "Someone!"
"Don't be that troublesome. Zhao Ling shouted and took out the "nameless" in the bag and handed it to Chen Fan: "Big pervert, it's useless to leave this sword with me, I'll give it to you now, it's the first engraved weapon I made, you have to cherish it!" (To be continued......)
