Chapter 54: Charlene's Question
The next moment, Charlene's cheers came from above: "Yay, you bastards, come more, come more!
"What's the matter with this woman......" Leo noticed something unusual, and when he ascended to the highest level of magic her, he was shocked to see that Charlene's hands were holding magic cannons, her face was flushed, and her expression was crazy, which was completely inconsistent with her previous temperament and image.
You know, when she saw herself for the first time, she turned around and ran.
"It can't be evil...... Leo quickened his pace and walked to Charlene's side, trying to make his voice sound calmer, "How's it going?"
"Ahh
"Yes, wake up, why don't you wake me up?" Leo asked with a smile, after all, the next period of time will require the cooperation of the two of them, and if there is friction, it will definitely be very detrimental to the completion of the task, so he still maintains a good attitude before understanding the situation clearly.
"I ...... I ......" Charlene hesitated, not knowing what to answer.
Leo looked outside, and the place where the thunderstorm ball had just passed was full of corpses of alien races, but there were no new spider demons and mothmen, and it was safe for the time being, and he had time to talk to each other.
"I think we should at least maintain relative trust, don't you think?" he said tentatively, "and, since it's a two-player mission now, cooperation with each other must also be an important indicator for the academy to consider." If you just want to take it on alone, I'm afraid it will never work. ”
Charlene blinked, stunned for a moment. Although Leo said it more tactfully, she still understood it immediately, and waved her hand again and again: "No, it's not what you think!
Seeing that the other party was a little excited, Leo was worried about continuing to press. will bring counterproductive results, so he shook his head and said: "I'm just making an analogy, just talk about it, you must not take it to heart." ”
Unexpectedly, Charlene refused to end the topic here, and continued to say loudly: "I just want you to rest a little longer, as a teammate, is it wrong for me to do this?"
"Yes, of course yes, I'm just worried that you won't be able to handle it alone. Leo smiled wryly.
Look at Charlene like this. It seems that he has been greatly wronged, is it really that he guessed wrong?
What he didn't expect was that the next moment, two lines of tears suddenly flowed out of Charlene's eyes.
"You...... I...... This ......" Leo suddenly had a big head. There is definitely something wrong with this woman! Otherwise, why would she have just said two words and started crying?
It's just that as a man, it's not a good thing to make a woman cry after all, Leo had to raise his hand and surrender: "Don't cry, I misunderstood you, I apologize to you, I hope we can cooperate well in the future." ”
Charlene's tears still flowed uncontrollably. But he shook his head again, choked up and said, "No, it's not because of you, it's all my own fault." You don't have to apologize. If I were in your position, I would think the same way. ”
Such a sentence made Leo even more confused, and he was even more convinced that this woman was indeed abnormal.
Charlene sobbed a few times. Said: "I...... I...... As soon as I saw it...... As soon as I saw ...... corpses, it will become very excited. I don't know what's going on, and no one can tell me what's going on. I...... I...... I don't want others to see me like this. But...... I can't control ........."
After a slight pause, she continued, "I'm sorry to just get angry with you, they said it was a demonic curse, I was scared, I just ...... Just ......"
For a moment, Charlene didn't know how to continue.
Although Leo had some guesses, he still felt a little strange when he heard the other party admit it himself. But as someone from an era of highly advanced science, he understood Charlene better than anyone here.
"As far as I know, it's a mental illness, not some demonic curse, don't worry. He said in a calm voice.
"Mental illness?" Charlene looked puzzled, apparently the first time she had heard the term.
Leo nodded: "That's right, it's mental illness, for example, some people like children, and some people like to wear clothes that don't belong to their gender." It's all about the head, and it's all curable. ”
"Can it be cured!" Charlene's eyes widened and she looked at Leo expectantly, obviously she cared about it.
"It is indeed curative, and it does not have to be treated with drugs, only with a certain amount of psychosuggestive therapy. Leo replied confidently.
In fact, he had only heard of this disease, and he didn't know how to treat or alleviate it at all, but now Charlene's condition was not very stable, so it was better to stabilize her first.
Seeing that Leo was so confident, Charlene inevitably began to believe his words, and was about to ask a few more words, but saw the other party's face suddenly change drastically.
The girl's heart chuckled, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Here, many!" Leo pointed in the direction of the canyon, his voice full of solemnity.
Charlene looked back, and sure enough, she found that under the purple moonlight, the entrance to the canyon was full of shadows and longing figures.
It's just that the distance is too far and the light is not enough, so I can't see it clearly, but there are definitely many times more than before.
"Why are there so many at once!?" With doubts, Charlene subconsciously wanted to activate the magic cannon, but her body trembled violently, and then fell back softly.
Leo's eyes were quick, and he helped Charlene and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, I'm just feeling a little tired, maybe it's caused by connecting to the magic array for a long time. Charlene replied weakly, then barely moved two steps to get out of the way of the magic cannon and let Leo take over.
Knowing that the situation was urgent, the creatures at the entrance of the canyon would soon have a chance to attack, Leo did not dare to delay, and sat Charlene on the ground, and immediately stepped forward and stood in front of the lever of the magic cannon.
Before holding the lever with both hands, Leo followed the previous explanation of the bearded man, cast his spiritual power, and touched the core of the magic array. Then, his spiritual power vibrated in a special rhythm, and he soon succeeded in obtaining permission from the magic array. and connected to the magic array.
In the next second, Leo suddenly felt as if he had entered a new realm.
Through the magic array, his vision, hearing, and other perceptions were magnified many times, as if all the wind and grass around the magic tower could not hide his own perception.
"The feeling of those super strong people, maybe that's what it is. Leo unconsciously had such an idea.
And when he continued to extend his perception and wanted to lock on to those creatures in the distance, he found that once he left the range of the magic tower, the amplification of his perception would quickly shrink. By the time we got to the canyon, there was almost nothing left.
After pondering for a moment, his spiritual power fluctuated again, and sure enough, the situation in the distance suddenly became clear again.
It was more than thirty spider demons and twelve mothmen, and under the perception buff of the magic array, Leo could even see the fluff on their bodies clearly.
It can be seen that these creatures are not in good condition, almost all of them are injured, and it seems that they should have been attacked when crossing the boundary river, but for some reason. Luckily broke through the blockade and arrived here. Moreover, their spirits are quite high, and they are dancing with their teeth and claws. Charge forward one after the other.
Leo then realized that it was no wonder that Charlene was able to hit so accurately with the magic cannon just now, and even a mosquito could not escape if it was locked in such delicate conditions.
When he was ready to continue observing. But suddenly I felt a wave of dizziness coming.
Leo immediately recognized that this was caused by the increased speed of mental consumption due to the enhancement of long-distance perception.
It's a very good feeling of seeing everything. It's intoxicating. But Leo just saw Charlene's weak appearance, where did he dare to overuse it, hurriedly withdrew his perception, and controlled the consumption of mental power to a level that was acceptable to him.
It's just that in this way, the situation in the distance cannot be detected clearly.
"The probe knows so well what to do, anyway, it will be solved as soon as it hits. If you delay any longer, let them rush to the range of the magic tower, I don't know if there will be any trouble. Leo quickly made a decision, put his hands on the lever of the magic cannon, and with a slight movement, the target in front of him entered the locked range of the magic cannon.
The next moment, a magical model mapped into Leo's soul. This magic model is unique in that it is not built by himself, and there is no real entity, but is directly projected from the magic cannon.
Immediately after that, the strange magic model suddenly glowed and spun rapidly.
Leo suddenly felt an irrepressible ripple within his soul, which made him inevitably feel a little nervous. After all, the soul hides too many secrets, and it is quite fragile, and if something happens, it is likely to lead to extremely serious consequences.
Fortunately, the waves didn't last long, and the magic model suddenly disappeared without a trace, and at the same time, a part of Leo's spiritual power disappeared.
"This way...... Isn't it just a standard magic projection?" Leo had just sensed some clues, and the top of the magic cannon had already erupted with dazzling light, and a terrifying ball of electricity appeared, flying a long distance in the blink of an eye.
In the dark, there seems to be some kind of connection, allowing Leo to slightly adjust the trajectory of the electric ball. However, this kind of control is not the same as the magic hand, and it belongs to a completely different magic system.
Leo barely controlled the movement of the electric ball, but its speed was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, the electric ball had swept through the crowd of spider demons and moths, clearing a passage paved with corpses.
However, due to their large numbers, more than half escaped the deadly lightning.
"One more shot!" Leo thought, and did the same.
A second later, another ball of electricity came out of the magic cannon, and this time, he had experience, so he adjusted the trajectory of the ball in advance.
"Zilala!"
Far away, Leo could still hear the sound of lightning splashing, and another group of spiders and moths were killed by the high-voltage electricity.
"This magic weapon is too powerful, it has no cooling, it can be activated at will, it is simply a weapon of mass destruction!" Leo sighed sincerely, and at the same time carefully distinguished with his eyes, and whether there was any fish that had slipped through the net.
This attack, his control was very good, and his luck was good, only the three-headed spider demon and one mothman were still alive at the moment.
Leo didn't continue to use the magic cannon, because he could feel that although his mental power was still abundant, the magic model produced by the magic cannon was under a lot of pressure on him. If you continue to use it, you are likely to fall into the same weakened state as Charlene.
After thinking about it, he asked, "Charlene, how are you feeling?"
"I'm already feeling better. Charlene replied.
Leo nodded and said, "Very good, you take over the defense tower, I'll go outside and get rid of the few who are still alive, and clean up the corpses by the way." ”
"Why don't you go now? what if something comes over again?" said Charlene, a little worried.
Leo looked around into the distance and said, "There should be no problem, the bearded man said, you can't let those guys get close to the magic tower, and you can't let the corpses stay for too long." Don't worry, I won't go far, I'll be back as soon as I'm done. Even if something else came by this time, I would have had time to run away. ”
Charlene also felt that Leo's words made sense, so she didn't refute it again, but stood up and took over the defensive magic array and magic run that Leo let out.
............
It was not difficult to kill the surviving three-headed spider demon and a mothman, and Leo used a few low-level magic to successfully complete the goal. However, it is still a bit tricky to dispose of all the corpses, after all, these corpses are not gathered together, but scattered in an area of tens of meters.
There was no good way, Leo could only rely on his hands to drag the corpses one by one, and his idea was to gather the corpses together and then set a fire to burn them all.
It took more than ten minutes for Leo to finish the disgusting task, then took out a vial and spilled the liquid on the pile of corpses that had piled up into the knoll.
It is an extremely active oil that burns violently whenever it encounters a flame, and it is best used to ignite a fire, and it is also one of the few magic casting materials.
Leo didn't waste his mental energy, chose the lowest level of the Bright Flame Technique, and stepped back some distance.
Then, under the control of spiritual power, a little spark floated out and landed accurately on the pile of corpses.
"Boom!"
The flames burst into flames, alluding to the surrounding phantoms of the same name.
But at this time, a flash suddenly appeared in the corner of Leo's eyes, and it was the magic cannon on the magic tower that was fired again! )
