Chapter One Hundred and Six: The Seal of the Dawn [I.]
PS: Today's update is relatively early, on the way to the business trip hand-coded, hehe~~ Ask for monthly ticket recommendations and collections, the results are indeed a bit miserable, well, my Q spirit is expensive.
When the dazzling sunlight shone through the window on the sleeping Cohen, Cohen rubbed his eyes impatiently, stretched comfortably and sat up, and took a cursory look around, only to see Rachel and Rose sleeping on the two wooden beds beside them, their weapons and equipment were thrown on the side of the bed at will, Rachel stretched out his right hand next to the bed and hooked a wine jug, thinking that it was a beautiful drink of wine before going to bed to sleep peacefully.
Cohen moved his hands and feet a little and then turned over and got out of bed, quickly put on his equipment and pushed open the door and walked out, there was a long corridor outside the door, the walls around the corridor were crawling with tender green plants, a small tender green light dot loomed in the plants, slowly gathered on the wall on a few weapons and equipment hung on the transformation into a tree-like totem, I don't know what the road is for, Cohen always felt that this totem made him feel very kind, and subconsciously stretched out his right hand to touch the totem.
"Don't touch the Native Force Totem on the wall!!" Carey's majestic voice suddenly interrupted Cohen's movements. I saw Carey standing at the end of the deep corridor, holding a large pile of messy clothes and equipment in his hands and walking downstairs, probably vaguely seeing someone standing in the corridor, out of a kind reminder.
Carey put down the sundries in his hand and walked over, and when he saw that it was Cohen, he showed a surprised expression, and said with a smile: "I thought that someone in the post station was so bold to touch the native force totem, but I didn't expect it to be you." He who does not know is not guilty. Carey patted Cohen on the shoulder and motioned to come with him.
Cohen smiled helplessly: "Touching these totems, will it trigger the trap? I heard you say that this is the post station of the elf station, how can there be an offensive trigger totem set here?"
Carey said with a smile in the direction of the stairs, "As you walk, there are a lot of injured elves from the inn, and the healing priest is too busy, and that friend of yours, I didn't expect it to be a dual-line auxiliary priest, but she has helped us a lot!"
"Snowdew?" Cohen thought for a moment. Asked with a smile!
Carey nodded. said: "You will persuade her to take a rest in a while, but she has not rested until now, fortunately, most of the wounded are now in stable condition, except for a few serious injuries who need to be sent back to the Elven Forest for treatment." Everything else is fine. ”
Just as the two of them walked and talked, they came to the stairs at the end of the hallway. Bursts of pungent herbs came to your face. I saw a crowd of people in the lobby of the post station, rows of injured people lying densely on the Ge cloth for treatment, and the tender green light group lit up in the lobby from time to time. Cohen followed Carey down the stairs. I saw Xuelu, who was dressed in a blue priest's uniform, was engrossed in applying medicine to an injured person, and her forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, and her originally white and red face would become pale and colorless.
"Let's take a break!" Cohen walked behind Xuelu, handed over a pot of water, took the plaster in her hand and continued to apply it to the injured, Xuelu happily held the kettle and drank it in small sips, a touch of indescribable happiness hit her heart, and she couldn't extricate herself for a long time.
After a while, Cohen took care of the wounded man's wounds, took Xuelu's little hand and walked out of the door to the bench in front of the door, Cohen gently stroked Xuelu's soft hair, and said softly: "Listen to Carey, you haven't rested, you eat a little bit in a while, and then obediently go upstairs to rest, if there is no accident, we will set off for Dilong Fort overnight tonight." ”
Xuelu nodded obediently, her little head snuggled into Cohen's arms, and said softly: "I'm not tired, not to mention that saving lives is originally a priest's job, thank you for your concern, Cohen." ”
Cohen didn't say anything more, since the last time Shirlo opened up to him, Cohen had vowed to protect the girl, even if it cost his life to become an enemy of the entire world. At this moment, Cohen cherishes the opportunity to be alone with Xuelu, thinking that he and Rachel almost died in the hands of Alan Hall tonight, the absolute difference in strength, and his group has no other way but to desperately escape.
"Xuelu, when this mission is over, I will definitely improve my combat power as soon as possible, because of the difference in strength and the feeling of letting others control their own destiny, it really hurts my heart, if I hadn't been rescued twice tonight, maybe we would have died here. Cohen said this, the right hand that had originally grabbed Xuelu's soft shoulder slowly clenched, an indescribable taste made him extremely irritable in his heart, and the desire for strength finally became extremely strong at this time.
Maybe it's time!
Looking at Cohen with a lost face, Xuelu finally made a decision to unseal the Tree of the World Realm in her Soul Consciousness Sea's combat skill cultivation method. Originally, Xuelu planned to wait for the end of the trip to Crescent Lake to unseal this powerful and unpredictable combat skill, and she had a hunch that what Buck was going to hand over to the three of them was absolutely shocking, and it was impossible for anyone to predict how far the combat power of the three of them would improve in more than a month. If you can win the top three in the competition, at least it is also in a high-level peak state, so Xuelu is not so anxious. didn't expect that the disparity in strength of the Lion Warrior Crusader City almost caused a tragedy, but this also made Xuelu understand that if she improved her strength one minute earlier, she would have one more minute of life security.
"Cohen, I'll go up and take a shower first, you will look for me in my room in an hour!" Xuelu hesitated for a long time, and finally said this, I don't know what Lu Dao is about, she always feels that after saying this, she always feels red ears after saying this, this is a little ambiguous feeling from the usual day, which makes her feel weak, and hurriedly breaks free from Cohen's embrace, and flees into the post station like a rabbit.
Looking at Xuelu who was fleeing in the wilderness, Cohen also seemed to realize that the conversation just now was a little inappropriate, and looked at the direction of Xuelu's escape and muttered, "I'm a child who hasn't gone through the coming-of-age ceremony!"
!!A hearty laugh suddenly came from behind Cohen, and this sudden laughter suddenly startled Cohen, and he hurriedly turned around to look over, only to see Bob leaning against a big tree trunk with a wicked smile, holding a pot of rye wine in his hand and scolding while drinking: "It's all your fault, boy, you drank such a good wine, and now it's okay, the wine is gone, and I have to drink rye wine again!" After speaking, he raised his head and poured a big sip of rye wine, put the wine jug into his arms casually, walked to Cohen's side, and continued: " Boy, don't you know the taboos of the Dao Elf Clan?"
"Taboo?" Cohen was stunned for a moment, not reacting to what Bob meant. Looking at Cohen in a daze, Bob slapped his head on the door, and said in the direction of Xuelu's departure, "You don't know that elves can't fall in love with humans, right?"
Cohen suddenly became anxious and said, "We didn't ...... We..."The latter ones he couldn't say after all, yes, his relationship with Xuelu seems to have improved by leaps and bounds since the Endless Forest, what happened in it is not strictly speaking the kind of thing that can touch the girl's heart, and even part of the memory Cohen himself is not clear, he only clearly remembers the promise he made to Xuelu on the hillside outside the Gold Digger's Station.
Bob knocked on Cohen's head and smiled, "Can't tell, still don't you want to admit it?" Looking at Cohen, who didn't dare to speak, Bob couldn't help laughing, and took out the rye wine jug from his arms and shook it, as if he was distressed, he drank the last sip of the spicy rye wine, and then threw the jug aside without thinking. At this time, Cohen hurriedly took out a large wooden barrel of golden pine nut wine from the ring, which was the best product bought in the silver fortress, and it was also Cohen's favorite wine, compared to the spicy taste of Delamy's tears, the warmth of the golden pine nut wine was famous in the Noah continent.
"As long as you don't talk about that topic, I'll give you this barrel!" Cohen planned to use the barrel to gag Bob's mouth.
"Golden pine nut, give it to me!" Bob couldn't help but roar happily at the familiar scent, and then reached out to snatch the barrel from Cohen's hand.
Cohen hugged the barrel tightly and said reluctantly, "Promise me first!"
Bob looked at the golden pine nut wine close at hand, and swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, the sliding up and down Adam's apple and the clear sound of swallowing saliva all betrayed that the old drunkard was on the verge of collapse.
"Promise, I'll promise you everything, give me wine!" Bob finally couldn't help it, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, his right hand slightly exerted an over-the-shoulder fall to throw Cohen into the air, and then caught the wine barrel steadily, and then grabbed Cohen at random and put it on the ground, broke the wooden cork on the barrel with one hand, and gulped down the wine, ignoring Cohen's depressed expression.
Just as Cohen cleaned up the dust on his body and stood up with a cough, Bob suddenly said: "I used to have a girl I loved deeply, she was also a human, and my relationship with her was strongly opposed by the elves, just because I represented the most powerful combat force in the Noah continent at that time, and a lot of freedom was given up for this. ”
Cohen didn't expect Bob to suddenly say such a memory, and after a moment of silence, he took out a barrel of golden pine nut wine from the ring, and at the same time took out a wooden cup and some jerky, sat down on the ground, looked at Bob and asked, "And then?"
Bob didn't answer Cohen, but sat down and drank more fiercely, and the golden pine nut wine that overflowed from the corners of his mouth instantly wet his clothes, and at the same time, two lines of old tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, mixed with the wine and disappeared into his mouth. Cohen quietly accompanied Bob, he believed that the old man in front of him had been suppressing his feelings in his heart, and had been burying his hatred for many years in the deepest place, since he had the opportunity to say it today, it might be the answer that fate gave him.
Time passed minute by minute, Bob had drunk two barrels of golden pine nut wine, and most of the dried meat had been wiped out, at this time he leaned against a big tree without any image, his mouth spit out a strong smell of wine, his eyes wandered around and lost focus, after a while, he let out a long breath of wine, and his head shook and said: " Later, she died, and under the tremendous pressure of the elven race and the human race, she resolutely chose to commit suicide, committed suicide in the place where I met her, and drowned in the Wolongya Waterfall, and since then I have stayed in the Lion War Crusader City, just to be able to mourn her sometime every year.
