Theoretically, it should be dawn by now.

But the reality is that the volcanic ash obscures the sky, and the black-gray smoke from the ground spreads unscrupulously in the air.

In this case.

The difference in brightness between day and night is quite subtle.

Without a timekeeping device, it is almost impossible to determine the present time in the field.

“……”

"At 9:15 a.m., the sun should have come out."

Lindsay pulled out her pocket watch and frowned.

He certainly doesn't care about time.

As long as the essentia in the resourced items is not depleted, the time-keeping effect can always be accurate.

Last night's escape was a thrill.

The eruption of a volcano is truly staggering and powerful.

But Lindsay's speed isn't a joke either.

All kinds of equipment buffs and perfect food are put into battle together, and the agility attribute is forced to 28 points, plus the powerful explosive ability brought by the life essence......

To put it bluntly, this is a speed that ordinary humans can't reach.

Even the four-legged snow wolf is more than a step slower than Lindsay.

So the final result was that Lindsay threw the summoned snow wolf aside and carried the unconscious girl by herself.

Just ran out of it!

Out of the direct area of the volcanic eruption, the safety index will rise sharply.

The volcano erupted in a ferocious state.

But the speed at which its magma flows on the ground, the farther away from the volcano, the slower it becomes.

to Lindsay's current location.

The lava behind it has begun to flow at a rapid pace.

Ordinary people who are a little more brave can even roast a watermelon here.

As long as you dodge the rocks that occasionally fall from the sky, you will have no problem at all.

“……”

Lindsay was still frowning.

The thing on his mind was - what kind of impact will this underground volcanic eruption bring?

The fury of the drake beast had just ravaged the swamp!

Even if you can't come right away, you will definitely be aware of this exaggerated change, and once the other party starts to act......

"Then it's really going to be a state of meeting on a narrow road."

Thinking of this, Lindsay looked at her hands.

[Brilliant Bullet] can be reloaded and shot at any time, but he only has one chance to attack.

"Plans don't always keep up with changes."

With a sigh of emotion, Lindsay summoned the snow wolf again and put the girl she was carrying on the wolf's back.

That's when he really had time to look at the other party.

The maiden lay quietly on the wolf's back.

Her black hair was like a waterfall, naturally scattered around her body, gently trembling with the ups and downs of the snow wolf's movements. A solid red dress surrounded her, like a blazing flame dancing in the dark night.

“……”

Lindsey leaned over and lifted the other's head.

A face as pure as fine porcelain appeared in front of him, contrasting with the dimness of the black hair.

The girl's lips are slightly closed, accompanied by a gentle breathing.

The sleeping face is like an unbloomed flower, waiting for the spring breeze to wake up. A tranquil breath falls quietly down the long eyelashes, as if guarding a pair of eyes that are as clear as water.

"Hey, wake up."

Lindsay reached out and patted the girl's face, there was no trace of tenderness in her movements, she just wanted to wake up the other party immediately.

If he had come to find someone to fall in love with, I'm afraid he would have already begun to entangle himself by now.

It's a pity that Lindsay doesn't have this kind of leisure.

His goal is the dragon beast on the other side of the world, blocking the moat on the edge of the Black Mountain.

The beautiful girl or something has to be put back.。

“……”

The girl sleeping on the wolf's back did not react.

Lindsay shook her head, it seemed that she still had to use the old craft to appraise it.

[Human: essentia lost]

[The Awakened who have lost their skills and essentia have been in a state of slumber for a long time. 】

[A slave with a good face and figure is always the best quality product, and she will definitely be able to sell it for a good price! 】

"I think I'm like a slave trader......"

Lindsay pouted in dissatisfaction.

But in any case, he still knows the girl's information.

First of all, this is a human being, and this innate identity has ruled out many dangerous possibilities, but it also brings more doubts.

For example, why should a girl who has lost her essentia and skills be imprisoned in the underground, which does not see the light of day.

She has some kind of secret?

Or do you have some special status?

Lindsay pondered the possibilities, and finally fell on the title of 'essentia lost'.

He knows the word.

While studying on the hidden frontiers, Lindsay learned about this concept.

It is a title given to those who have lost their essentia and skill, and few people in this world would make such a choice, except for a few accidental products.

The Progression of the Awoken.

In itself, it is a process of fusion of skills, essentia, and oneself.

The more powerful the Awakened, the more deeply they will merge the three into one, so while giving up all of this, they will naturally be affected even more.

Lindsay didn't expect to meet a living example here.

"Uh-huh......"

Just as Lindsay was thinking about the product information, a slight murmur sounded from beside her.

He turned his head to see that it was the voice of a girl.

Endure an unknown amount of captivity and sleep, and experience a series of bumps in the escape from the crater.

At this moment, she finally opened her eyes.

Her long-asleep body was obviously quite weak, and she braced her hands hard, trying to hold down the snow wolf's back and get up.

"Ahh

The maiden failed.

Her weak body prevented her from making more movements.

Her jade-white arms slid to her sides, and she fell on the snow wolf's back with a thud. The long hair with a slight sense of convergence is also scattered again, and the whole person is like a fragile treasure.

“……”

Lindsay was a little speechless for a moment.

But seeing the girl's such a weak scene, Lindsay should not be indifferent at this time.

So he took out the water from his bag, mixed the maple syrup into it a little, and then stepped forward to support the girl's body:

"You've just woken up, so don't do too much."

"Let's drink sugar water to replenish our strength first."

In the next second, Lindsay saw a pair of eyes.

Under the gloomy sky shrouded in volcanic ash, there were a pair of quiet and determined red eyes. The zircon-like color of the flame seems to flicker in the pupils, like an unchanging fire, which can ignite a flame in people's hearts!

In a flash.

Lindsay thought of the righteous man she had met.

Although the emotions conveyed to people are different, the girl in front of her is undoubtedly a person with her own beliefs.

One lay on the wolf's back, and the other walked on the earth.

They stared at each other, neither of them making a move, and then ......

Boom ——!

A rock falling from the sky slammed into the earth not far away, making a deafening sound.

The ground burst into flames and trembled violently.

The girl was only a clever man, and the pure will in her flaming eyes retreated.

She spoke to Lindsay, in the beast language used by Warcraft:

"Where am I?"

"Who am I?"

"Should I call you father?"
