Chapter 50: Cure a headache
"It's ...... An iron ball?"
"Well, it flew at an eye-to-eye speed, shattered the wind shield and slammed it into my chest, but luckily the wind shield unloaded most of my strength, otherwise I would have been killed on the spot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"These bastards actually killed you!" "Sean gritted his teeth and gurgled, "I won't let them go next time I see them." ā
"Don't be stubborn, we both have more important things to do, and we can't afford to fight these robbers. Besides, there are many of them, and they have powerful weapons, so they are not easy to deal with, so if we run into them again when we turn back, we should flee first. ā
Sean has been wandering alone on the mainland for so many years, and the truth of being able to bend and stretch is still clear, and Helen is right, they are indeed too many people to cope with it, if Helen is injured again, he will not regret his death, so he nodded and agreed.
He took the small iron ball, brought it to his eyes and looked at it carefully, the iron ball was polished smoothly, the casting ground was very even, and the workmanship was impeccable.
"This thing must have come out of those thick iron pipes. I saw a flash of fire at the mouth of the iron pipe, and the dwarf used the fireball technique in the iron pipe, but I had never heard that the fireball technique could be used as a crossbow machine, and it could make this little iron ball fly so far away and shatter your powerful shield. ā
"I can't figure out how they did it, I saw in mid-air that they seemed to have poured a lot of black powder into the iron pipe, and then stuffed it into the iron ball after tamping it, maybe that black powder is a special alchemy item, which can enchant this small iron ball?"
"Enchantment?" Sean was startled, although the iron ball in front of him was well-made, it was obviously made of ordinary hard iron, before the Pope invented the sigil to solidify divine magic on the shield, it was a fact recognized by the foundry technicians on the continent that hard iron could not be enchanted, and the dwarves were still able to make a breakthrough and develop a powerful weapon that could break the magic shield.
This discovery couldn't help but make Sean secretly frightened, the dwarf's technology is really getting more and more terrifying, fortunately, Maruk and they didn't chase after them, no matter what the reason, at least the two of them are safe for the time being.
"You're just injured, why don't you sleep for a while, I'll be on guard. "The underground world does not see sunlight all day long, Sean made a rough estimate from the time he met Helen, it was probably late at night at the moment, the two started from the encounter with the Rakshasa demon soldiers, and fought all the way, and the physical consumption was very large, even if there was blessing magic to reinforce, proper sleep was still indispensable, so Sean proposed to let Helen sleep first to replenish her strength.
Helen also understands this truth, so she doesn't talk to Sean politely, although she is in danger at the moment, but the terrifying situation that she imagined was enough to discourage Maruk has not yet appeared after all, and this girl is indeed big-hearted, so she and Sean discussed the time of taking turns to rest and vigilance and fell asleep.
It was a long time before Helen woke up to see Sean sitting next to him wiping his sword. She sat up sleepily and complained, "It's already past the time we agreed, why don't you wake me up." ā
"Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I can't bear to call you. Sean laughed.
After speaking, he added: "You look very good when you are asleep." ā
"yes. Helen rubbed her eyes and said, "A lot of people say that. ā
Sean's hand rubbing the sword slid so that it hung over the blade and made a cut: "What are you talking about?"
"Haha, look at you like that. Helen looked at Sean, whose eyes were wide and dazed, and let out a pleasant smile like a silver bell.
"You're bluffing me again. Sean snorted, turned his head, and continued to polish his sword.
"I didn't lie to you. Helen leaned back against Sean's sturdy back and gently rested her small chin on his left shoulder, "My father, my mother, my two older brothers, my aunt, and my great aunt and little aunt, including my maid, have all said that I look very good when I am asleep. ā
"You have a lot of relatives. Sean finished polishing his sword, took out a large number of crossbow boxes, and began to load crossbow arrows into them.
"I have a lot of relatives in my family, so I'll take you to get to know them one day. ā
"How will you introduce me then, Demon Swordsman Shaun, the partner of the mage Helen?"
"How can they introduce you like that? ā
"Oh?" Sean turned around and looked at Helen with blazing eyes, "And how are you going to introduce me?"
"I'd say this is Shaun, the magic swordsman, my newly recruited servant. ā
ā......ā
"I'm kidding you, don't be busy, I'll help you load the crossbow arrows, you hurry up and sleep for a while, it's my turn to be on guard." ā
"Okay, then be careful yourself. ā
"Don't worry, I'm not as fond of recklessness as you are, and if there's any danger, I'll wake you up with a hammer. ā
ā...... That's good. ā
Sean also slept for a long time, and when he woke up, he felt refreshed. The two simply ate another meal, but they didn't dare to make a fire, let alone boil broth, they just hurriedly nibbled a few bites of wheat cakes to fill their stomachs, mainly because they were afraid that the smell of meat would spread and attract something that they couldn't provoke.
Fortunately, the two of them took turns to rest for so long, and the surrounding was also calm, and there was no abnormal movement, which once made Helen, who was the best at reasoning, doubt her judgment, is there no danger here that cannot be provoked, Maluk and they just chased and chased the collective into the ditch?
Sean suggested that instead of guessing here, it would be better to pack up and move on, because there was no way back anyway, in case Maruk and the others stayed there and waited for them to go back.
Helen basically never objected to Sean's proposal, but for the sake of safety, she first threw a bunch of blessing magic on Sean's body with a crackle, and suddenly Sean's muscles bulged, his eyes lit up, his skin hardened, and even his legs seemed to have grown a lot, Helen smiled and looked at Sean, who was almost armed into a half-giant by herself, patted his arm and said, "Well, it's good, so that you can have the appearance of a mage." ā
Sean: "......"
The two of them cautiously moved forward in the dim cave, and what made them feel a little relieved was that there were many burrowing small animals scurrying around their feet and heads along the way, and it seemed that at least there were no such headache-making earth monsters here, but as they walked, the two of them still noticed something strange at the same time.
The cave was huge, and the towering dome seemed to be wider than the space full of glowflies they had passed as they drifted down the dark river, but at this moment, in the deep and dim environment around the two of them, there was a faint voice, as if someone was talking to themselves:
"Headache ......"
"Headache ......"
"Headache ......"
