Chapter 436: Black and White (I)
After telling Caterina his opinion, Leon was not in a hurry to let the other party express his position, he knew that this kind of thing was not in a hurry, and it was useless to be in a hurry, mainly depending on Caterina's own understanding, so he was ready to leave enough time for the other party to think. However, with his knowledge of Caterina's character, as well as the deep feelings that Caterina had expressed for Sophia in the past, it should not take long for the girl to come out of the discomfort in her heart.
"Lord of the Mountain People, our time is up, and we look forward to continuing to fight for you next time!"
With that, the wounded Mirrona and the less than a hundred remaining mountain warriors vanished in a fluctuating wave, and Sapa was summoned after the battle, leaving only Leon and his companions, as well as Fiona.
The young man turned his head sideways and said, "Fiona, the battle is over, I should live up to your expectations, right?"
"Yes," the vampire girl smiled charmingly, "and not only that, but what you just said surprised me a little. ”
"There may be many things that will surprise you in the future," Li Ang said lightly, "Can you tell me what happened to Sophia, and whether she is in danger?"
"Of course," Fiona crouched down slightly, rubbing the back of her hand against Sophia's face.
"Are you hurt?" Leon saw the vampire's still somewhat twisted index finger.
Fiona looked down, as if she had just remembered something.
"Oh, nothing. The girl pinched the wound with her left hand, then pulled it violently, and reverted her right index finger to its original state with the grinding sound of the knuckles. After doing this, she asked nonchalantly, "Do you want to know most about when she will wake up?"
Leon didn't answer, staring silently into the other's eyes.
"Alright, don't look at me so fiercely," said Fiona, "I'll sue you, but shall we get out of here first?"
Li Ang followed the other party's gaze, and there was a sea of fire stretching from the west side of the valley. The momentum is fierce, and if it is delayed for a few more minutes, this clearing may also be covered in fire.
Leon stood up with Sophia in his arms and looked left and right. Suddenly, he said, "Where's Irene?"
"The little girl seems to have entered the woods to the east before the battle was over," Fiona prompted.
Leon thought about it, turned around and was about to walk in the direction of the other party's finger, but Caterina suddenly stopped him.
"That...... Leave Sophia to me. The girl hesitated and said.
A smile appeared on the young man's face. Hold up Sophia's body and gesture to the other party.
Caterina carefully hugged Sophia in her arms, although her expression didn't seem to change much, Leon could feel that she was still a little happy, so he patted her shoulder and whispered, "It's a good start, I know you can do it." ”
They had been delayed for less than a minute, but Erin had already stepped out of the woods on the east side, and saw that the eyes of her companions were focused on her. The mage girl said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I just had some problems. ”
"It doesn't matter. No need to apologize. Leon glanced at the woods behind the girl, then withdrew his gaze and said, "Then everyone ...... Ahem, which of you have spare clothes?"
Erin and Caterina signaled at the same time, and at Leon's command, Erin returned to the woods again, and half a minute later she walked back with a well-dressed Melissa.
The little girl's face was red and white, and she kept her head down, not daring to even look at the young man.
Leon knew what she was worried about, but she didn't bother to pay attention to it for now, because the battlefield still needed to be cleaned before the forest fire spread, and the spoils of war were on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to make sure that no traces of the battle were left behind - although the matter of killing the Priest and the group could not be hidden from everyone, the later it was found out the better it would be for him.
This time Leon's caution stemmed from a name that Quinine had once mentioned, one of the King's brothers, Prince of Wales, and Quinine's words made it clear that their actions were carried out with his approval, and although Leon had never met the royal man, he was now extremely disgusted by the Prince of Wales's connivance with these people in the Holy See.
Leon has already made up his mind, if this matter is discovered in the future, no matter who comes, he will deny it, as long as there is no actual evidence, it is estimated that even the prince will not be able to directly attack the local nobles of the kingdom, at most he will deal with the intrigues from the Holy See or these people secretly, and this has been mentally prepared since he decided to rescue Sophia.
At this time, Red and Melissa had already gone to the place where they had fought to clean up the battlefield, while Leon himself went deep into the fire according to the direction indicated by Erin and retrieved all the belongings of the hapless priest.
Soon, all the weapons and equipment collected were placed in front of him, and what Leon valued most was, of course, Quinine's scepter and the Holy Emblem, which were good things, even if Sophia could not use the magic equipment in the future, he could keep it for other use, but Fiona's casual words completely disappointed his expectations.
"It's useless," the vampire girl tilted her head to look at Leon, "Everything in the Holy See has a spirit seal attached to it, and once the original owner dies, the magic power on the equipment will soon disappear, and it will lose its original effect when it is in your hand." ”
"Your sister...... Is this an equipment binding?"
Leon immediately picked up the scepter and examined it aside, then he smashed his mouth, and very unwillingly threw all the equipment into the dimensional bag.
After almost finishing a qiē, they withdrew from the valley and re-climbed the two peaks they had passed, and a few dozen minutes later, the group appeared on the plains of Campbell.
Leon stopped, pointed to a nearby hillock, and said, "Rest here for a while." ”
Said to be resting, but now none of them were in the mood, Sophia was still unconscious, and the whole thing was full of mystery, at this time, both Leon and the other companions looked at the vampire girl.
Fortunately, Fiona knew each other quite well this time, and when everyone sat down at the bottom of the hillside, she immediately spoke: "Sophia is indeed only in a coma, and there is no danger to her life at the moment, don't worry." ”
In fact, this was what Leon wanted to hear the most, but before a smile appeared on his face, he immediately heard two other words from Fiona's mouth.
"But".
Fiona looked at the young man's annoyed look, shrugged her shoulders, and continued.
"But she's not in a very good situation now, as you just saw, Sophia used the power of darkness in the middle of her recovery in order to stop the Holy Envoy, and was seriously injured by the Holy Envoy's weapon at the same time, so it's still a bit troublesome to wake her up now, and if there are no special means, it may ...... After a while, her condition deteriorated. (To be continued......)
