Chapter 126: Pursuit
The space below the side nave is not connected to the upper part, but to a winding passage leading directly to the cloister on the other side of the atrium.
Using the rope to rappel to the lower half, the eldest sister looked at the messy underground layer and was speechless for a while. But after a little consideration of the current situation, she had no choice but to carry Mio Disstad, who was still unconscious, and walked on the road to the exit under the guidance of Curt.
The dark passage was gloomy and narrow, and only the emergency light source that Curt had brought with him was a little faint, and the bright light was like fireflies, illuminating some areas but making the darkness thicker. Oscar used the rusty broadsword as a crutch to support himself, and barely moved his weak legs and feet to walk at the end of the line, the blunt sword had lost its original function, but it could still wield its residual heat elsewhere.
Before that, he had already told Curt about the cause and effect of coming here, and in exchange for Curt's helpless wry smile, he originally thought that Oscar, Lizzie, and Mio had accidentally entered this monastery because of curiosity, but he didn't expect it to be a situation that sounded quite complicated.
If only Oscar and the others were among the ruins, they would be able to send them back with the eldest sister's car. The problem is that if you count Danfoss and his apprentices, it's a bit of a strong man, and unless it's a transport vehicle, it's impossible to transport these people all at once.
The usual bells rang through the dusk-colored courtyard, and the strangeness that was active in the courtyard disappeared. I don't know if I gave up chasing Curt and the others, and in the process of finding the road, the group did not encounter any aliens. It was as if they had collectively fallen into silence. Even the central courtyard, which had been hovering with a large number of aliens not long ago, became strangely calm at this time, and there was not half an abnormal shadow in the huge courtyard.
Now there is nothing abnormal in front of their eyes, except for the simple dusk color and the ruins of the monastery. It's like telling sù about a group of people who are about to leave. What they see and experience is their delusion, and it does not exist here.
This feeling made both the eldest sister and Oscar uncomfortable, and they really didn't have any evidence that the monsters they had just fought with were real. In particular, the nature of the decomposition that immediately began to be returned as soon as it was struck down, and there was no trace of the scene other than the traces of destruction that could prove the existence of the enemy.
Especially Oscar, compared to the eldest sister who just consumed a lot of ammunition for no reason, and those alien battle guides who were exhausted and wounded, it was even more difficult for him to accept such a result. But reluctance was reluctance, and he no longer had any strength left to protest.
Even if the aliens' entities disappear. The smell of something wrong that surrounds the monastery still exists. Strange magic flowed in the dusk-colored realm, and Curt clearly felt that the magic emanating from the air in the courtyard was several times that of the normal area, and such a rich and excessive magic power could easily make the spell get out of control.
Send them to the car, who basically have no combat effectiveness. Curt asked the eldest sister to take Oscar and Mio to the academy to seek the help of Dean François. And he had to stay here to find out where Lizzie was, and by the way, investigate the cause of this anomaly that only existed around the Willinas Monastery.
"That's a bit too much......"
Walking over to the edge of the pit that Lizzie had forcibly dug up, Curt once again affirmed the power of Lizzie's "whim". If the pit were to be dug by the workers, it would take a few hours. And it only took Lizzie about ten minutes to destructively dig a hole here.
Naturally, Danfoss and his men were still lying all over the cellar like broken dolls. The aliens didn't seem to be interested in their unconscious targets, neither Mio Didstad nor the sorcerer apprentices were attacked, and the slight messy marks were clearly done to move their Lizzie away, but she at least kept her strength on Cheng Dù, who wouldn't hurt the apprentices.
So where did she run now?
"At the time, the three of us were in the central courtyard, where Miss Lizzie had used a spell to open a pit leading to the cellar. When asked about the monastery, Oscar replied, "Through that pit." We saw Danfoss and his bastards. ”
At that time, Oscar had little strength, and he had to stop and rest for a few words. He can't continue until he's breathing. Despite this, he didn't hide the obvious disgust in his tone when he mentioned Danvers and his Ancient Spells Research Group.
He already hated Danfoss and them, and after this period of accumulation, this disgust was obviously further strengthened. Oscar used a lot more brutal adjectives when addressing them than he had at first, and if it weren't for his identity, he would probably have exploded.
Taking a deep breath, Oscar thought back to what happened at that time: "But just when we were showing those guys, something suddenly something was wrong. The bell on the bell tower rang suddenly, and then a burst of 'colors' came to the face as if it were dusk...... When I came to my senses, I realized that I was no longer where I was, and Miss Lizzie did not know where she had gone. ”
According to Oscar, the three of them may have been dispersed by the "twilight" that followed the bells. Although he didn't know what happened to the other two, he was not only taken to a warehouse-like place, but also warmly welcomed by a bunch of strange aliens.
In order to defend himself, he had to take the blunt sword that fell in the corner to fight those monsters, but fortunately those monsters were not strong, and he was not injured. By the time he appeared Mio Distad, she had fainted in the building below the side hall, and the black knight was standing in the center of the building waiting for him.
Curt knew what was going on, but according to Oscar, it wasn't that he was going to fight the Black Knight, but that he had to duel him. For as soon as he tried to get one step closer, Mio Dustad, greeted him with the hammer in the Black Knight's hand.
Maybe it's because Danfoss used to try to disadvantage his friends, and this time it's because Danfoss took Hepburn away to lead the problem. Coupled with the fact that they were always working on some unsafe ancient spells, Oscar suspected that they were the culprit in this incident.
Despite not knowing much about spells, Curt still felt that this was not a spell that Danfoss and them could play, and that building a spell field with just a few apprentices was a delusional idea, even if it was accidental. The mana content of this realm was several times greater than all of their mana combined, and if they did build this spell realm, they wouldn't just be unconscious.
Emerging from the pit that Lizzie had dug up with a spell, it left many traces of recent destruction on the way to the bell tower. It seemed to be cracked with some kind of blunt weapon, and the trail was paved with heavy stone bricks, and the marks of the lethal spell could be seen from time to time.
If the enemies who had been lurking in the shadows until a moment weren't going to destroy the environment at will, it was undoubtedly Lizzie's legacy of the destruction. Lizzie's fighting style often spreads to nearby things, and the destruction on this path must have been left behind when she broke through the alien's barrier to the clock tower.
Since Oscar said that "dusk" appeared only after the bell was remembered, it shows that the bell that is still ringing until now is inseparable from the dusk that covers the monastery. Perhaps this bell is the central mechanism used to keep the sorcery running.
Lizzie and Oscar were acting together before dusk came, and she should have noticed the connection between the two. With her character, it is impossible to let go of this connection, she must have been on her way to the top of the bell tower, and if she had moved a little faster, she would have reached the top floor by now.
Follow these "footprints" left by Liqi to the bell tower, leaving more and more damage along the way. Curt and the eldest sister had encountered a large number of enemy interceptions when they were heading to the side hall, and if Lizzie were to get to the center of Yiqiē, she would naturally encounter a lot of obstacles.
The aliens are gone, in the courtyard, in the side halls, in the bell tower...... There were no more enemies in these places that stood in the way of Curt's advance. However, there were many traces of the aftermath of the attack on everything along the way, and you can imagine how many enemies Liqi faced when she passed through here.
The bell tower of this monastery is similar to that of an ordinary bell tower, tall and thin, full of upward momentum. It was as if they were going to renounce the mortal until they were under the throne of Wigias, the god of light they believed in.
When Curt ascended to the top of the bell tower, he finally saw Lizzie lying not far away, still holding an ordinary wooden staff in her hand. Not far in front of her, there was an ancient bell with a faint sunset color, and there was a crack in the ancient clock, and the light of dusk was seeping through the crack.
Lizzie was dyed red, but instead of glow, it was splashes of blood. Several half-human-tall iron spears pinned her to the ground, and a terrifying amount of blood erupted from her thin body. The blood stained her clothes red and left a red mark on the ground.
It was a painting in which the artist painted a strangely shaped dial with uncanny brushstrokes, a surface with scattered blood, and a weak limb as a pointer.
"Okay...... Let's talk about why you died this time. Looking at Lizzie lying in a pool of blood, Curt didn't look surprised at all, he had seen Lizzie pretend to be dead too many times, "However, you didn't make those fatal wounds on your back, did you?" (To be continued......
