Section 16 Heavy rain
"Master, the source of the radiation has been found. Carrie said suddenly, and then, the picture that had appeared just now appeared before Ashrufat's eyes again. This time, though, the ship was dotted with a lot of red dots.
"The cause of the radiation is the leakage of energy from the auxiliary power system. Carrie said. "The leakage of energy leads to radiation that is lethal enough. I suggest you do it right away and fix it. β
"Repair?" Ashrufat was stunned. He doesn't know anything about it, huh?
"Well, it's actually quite simple, I'll guide you. The tools are in the instrument warehouse, and I'll guide you through them right now. β
"Wait a minute, for what...... Need me fix this?"
"If it can be repaired, then the radiation here will no longer kill people...... But the real reason is, master, don't you think this place is a good place to call your home?" said Carrie's voice, which sounded excited.
"Wait a minute, Carrie, what do you want, what do I want to ......?"
"Although you can choose to wander in the world, you should also have a relatively safe place to hide. In case of injury or other crisis, you can hide here. β
"Hey, this ...... But here is the ...... of the Church."
"According to our predetermined plan, when you help Pinod to achieve domination of the West Vania region, the power of the Church here will be eradicated. Then we can make this your home! It's fitting to have a home within the reach of your allies. Carrie explained with great interest. "Trust me, I'll make it a great place to live. If you don't think it's to your liking to hide underground, then we can erect it and it can be used as a castle!"
"Stand up?"
In the illjurified diagram, the leading part of the large shuttle cut into three sections is erected, and the corresponding schematic diagram appears. As shown in the diagram, the lower end of the object was still buried in the earth and the upper end was exposed. Even so, the part above ground is already between the castle and the tower, which is quite majestic.
"How's it going, isn't it exciting?" The image of the spaceship disappeared, replaced by an image of Carrie, who was dressed in a quirky and cute costume this time, and still wore a rabbit-eared hat on her head.
"No, I'm not interested ......"
"Even if you don't like it, it's important for us to have a place to hide in the event of a hunt or some other crisis. And it's a pity that if you don't use something so good, you'll waste it here?" Carrie gave a pitiful look. "And even if you don't want it, at least fix it and save a few poor diggers. β
Ashrufat sighed, "Okay. He replied in a low voice. "Where's the tool?"
"This way. Carrie led Ashrufat to a small room. In the room was a row of shelves with all sorts of things that Ashrufat didn't recognize. "Yes, that's it!"
Under Carrie's guidance, Ashruphat picked up something very much like the bellows used for a blacksmith's stove.
"Please twist the button on the guard slightly. Carrie prompted. Ashrufat did as he was told, and then saw a small white foamy thing erupt from the opening in the front of the bellows. As soon as the thing landed on the ground, it solidified and stuck firmly to the ground, and Ashrufat squatted down and pinched it, finding that it was so hard and tough that it could not be shaken with his bare hands.
"We'll get to the leak point in a minute, and you just have to spray these things up and plug the hole. β
Ashrufat's gaze stumbled upon something else on the shelf.
"What is this?" he stepped forward, and on the shelf was a dismantled suit of armor that Ashrufat immediately recognized, a suit of armor that was slightly identical to his red-blooded armor, made of the same metal. However, this suit has a lot of non-metallic parts, especially the helmet part is completely different, and the cuirass part is ...... This armor set is...... For women?
"Master, this is not an energy field armor, it is fundamentally different from your armor, it is just a light reconnaissance armor. It has the advantage of not hindering the movement of the body at all. Carrie explained. "Leave that alone, let's get to work. I'll lead the way, you just come with me. We don't have much work, I estimate it will be done in ten days. β
"What...... Why didn't you tell me just now?"
"It's not too late to tell you. Carrie immediately looked teary-eyed. Although it was said that what he saw was an illusion, it still made Ashrufat feel uneasy. "I guess you're going back on your promise to Carrie. β
Ashrufat sighed again. When he came to this excavation site, he was originally full of anger and came with the mentality of "destroying it", but he was unconsciously led by Carrie to the point that he lost his original intention.
......
At this time, the sky was cloudy. Heavy black clouds had completely obscured the sun, stretching from the end of the day to the other, and although it was afternoon, it looked like dusk. As long as you are a sober-minded person, you know that a heavy rainstorm is imminent.
A gust of wind blew and blew sand and rocks, and even the door of the cabin, which was not very strong, was blown with a "creak" sound.
"Drink!" In the open space next to the grave keeper's hut, the girl was practicing her moves with a wooden stick sharpened into a sword.
The man named Ashrufat appeared at the edge of the hut at some point, looking at her with an interested expression. However, she had actually noticed the presence of Ashrufat, but she did not stop practicing.
In the damp and hot air, which looked like it was dripping water, the fiery girl wielded her wooden sword with all her might.
"The posture is nice. "For a long time," Ashrufat commented.
The girl practiced the usual fighting techniques in the army, and both the moves and movements were decent. There are two kinds of practice for soldiers, individual combat and group combat, and the girl practices the same kind of individual combat moves - each move is simple, but it is very practical, and it is very suitable for dealing with ordinary people. It can be seen that Eric is a good teacher, at least in this kind of martial arts.
Scarlet ignored Ashruphat and continued her practice. Half a step forward, split down, sweep, pick up, and then move forward half a step, straight stab, slash, parry. Every move she followed the tricks that Eric had instructed. She'd practiced enough times that her arms were actually numb from exhaustion. It was supposed to be time to stop and rest. But for some reason, she didn't want to show her weak side in front of this man, so she didn't stop.
"It's a good idea, but it's not for women. Ashrufat said. "Because you are inferior to a man in height and physique, and you are underweight ......"
But what he said was the same as what he didn't say, because Scarlet looked like he hadn't heard of it, and continued to practice monotonously.
A gust of wind blew, carrying raindrops like beans, and it hurt when it hit the skin.
"It's raining, let's take shelter from the rain. Ashrufat said, but Scarlet ignored it and continued practicing.
"It's going to be over soon. She replied as she brandished her wooden sword. "It's going to be a while before the real heavy rain. β
She wasn't lying, it was inevitable before the rainstorm. There was a strong wind mixed with a shower of rain, but the shower ended very quickly. After this rain shower has passed, there will be a short period of time before the real heavy rain will come. And this season...... The rain will continue for a long time, even if it rains for two or three days in a row, it is not surprising.
However, it is precisely because of this characteristic that Eric's plan is likely to be implemented.
Eric hadn't arrived yet, but Gossip knew he could be there at any moment. This dark cloud...... This season...... Today is the moment that Eric has been waiting for.
She wielded the wooden sword in her hand with all her might. Be stronger! Be stronger! Otherwise......
Then she realized that she was moving too slowly.
The downpour rolled in with the wind, instantly flooding the heavens and the earth. Although it is said that this is not a few steps from the cabin, by the time Scarlet ran into the cabin, his whole body was almost soaked. Luckily, she was wearing the kind of coarse cloth clothes worn by prisoners, and even when she was wet, she didn't cling to her body.
Ashrufat was already waiting for her here, with a towel in his hand. But before he could hand it out, Scarlet snatched the towel from his hand and began to wipe her hair.
"You seem to have a lot of hostility towards me!" said Ashrufat, a grimace of laughter.
"I'm all hostile to vampires. The scarlet replied without shaking his head. "Those girls that vampires enjoy are all people like you who help him find them. β
"Girl, enjoy?" Ashruphat was really inexplicable this time.
"Don't pretend to be garlic!βdon't vampires only like to drink the blood of young girls, especially that Baron Pinold!" replied Scarlet unceremoniously. "I've heard that he only picks teenage girls! And he has to be pretty!"
Does Pinold have this hobby? But it's hard to say...... It's like someone likes a very rare barbecue and someone only likes a medium-rare barbecue. Although Ashruphat himself felt that no matter whose blood he drank it (although he had little say in this regard, because he drank it very rarely), as long as it was human blood, it should be sweet and full of the joy of life.
Thinking of this thought, his throat twitched uncontrollably.
"Is vampire blood so worth it?" Scarlet continued. "It's worth it for you to do something disgusting like this?"
"Vampire blood?"
"Aren't you here to drink the blood of vampires so that you can get that cursed eternal life?"
"Carrie, can you become a vampire by drinking the blood of a vampire?" Ashruphat asked in his mind. He remembered that Eric had clarified the rumor at the time, but Scarlet didn't seem to listen.
"Well, theoretically it's really possible. Carrie's answer was surprising. "If the vitality is strong enough to support the metabolic replacement of cells throughout the body, then it can indeed become an immortal in a sense. β
"But, master, it is useless to do so. Because even if the body is vigorous enough to support that transformation, the brain is bound to be destroyed in the process of transformation. If you have the chance, the host you can try it and then you will see how terrible it is. β
