37. Departure

"Sorry, this attack came a bit suddenly, so ...... I don't have the ability to entertain you well. ”

Even though she looked very young in the face of a mage who could destroy all the undead in a matter of minutes, the officer did not dare to show the slightest disrespect in her attitude - not to mention, she did save her comrades who were in a bitter battle.

"When did these guys appear?" As soon as Lin asked this question, he saw the other party's face hesitate for a while, realizing that the other party also had a hard time, and shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, it's okay not to say it if it's inconvenient......

"No, there's no need to hide it any longerβ€”just yesterday the undead here began to attack a caravan from the north on a massive scale, and it would be impossible for us to hide it. ”

Speaking of this, a bitter smile was on the officer's face.

"It must have been a little over a week ago, and the undead began to appear on a large scale around Nazca City...... Since we couldn't find the source, we had to send more men and control the surrounding roads at the same time - but we had been haunting the area near the western checkpoint before, and the distance from Nazca City was not very far, so we didn't expect a large number of caravans to appear in the north and attack the caravans farther away. After that, they began to attack the checkpoint directly, although the city side urgently dispatched a lot of troops and sent military supplies, but it was still very difficult. ”

If Lin hadn't appeared, although he wouldn't have been wiped out, in the face of these murderous and vicious undead, the recruits who hadn't seen much blood would definitely be greatly reduced.

"No wonder those soldiers nervously collected a large number of arrows this morning. That's why. ”

"Yes, thanks to this batch of emergency supplies. A lot of recruits with little actual combat experience were able to safely use arrows to help us, and I am really grateful for this!"

β€œ......”

Lynn pondered what she had learned. After thinking of some other things, Lynn's brow furrowed slightly unconsciously.

"Lisa, since the situation here is very tense, why don't you go and negotiate with the quartermaster here?"

"Okay, good......"

As she said this, Lynn gestured with her eyes to the officer opposite. The latter, too, nodded understandingly, and at the same time said to the adjutant beside him: "Then please take this enthusiastic and righteous lady to negotiate with the people of the quartermaster's department." ”

After the two walked out of the room. The officer slammed the door shut.

"My lord, what do you need to block from others to say?"

Lin didn't answer the other party's question directly, but asked him a question: "First of all, let me remind you that generally speaking, as long as you bring something of a 'confidential' nature, there are basically nothing good...... Originally, you shouldn't have been exposed to these things with your position, but right now you're the only one who can speak and make decisions here - to be ordered in danger. Can you do it?"

"Does this secret concern the safety of the people of Nazca?"

"This is natural. ”

Then there is no need to answer. ”

Without making any big statements, the officer just looked Lynn in the eye in silence.

"No way, since you answered so......" Lin reluctantly picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip, "Then I can only be crazy with you once." Speaking of which. What's your name?"

"Just call me Qasim, sir. ”

"I belong to the Mage Guild, and I don't have a direct subordinate relationship with you. So you can call me by my first name as well - Lynn, remember. Comrade-in-arms~"

Actually, Lin should have gone back and told Aisha about them first. But just now Lin thought of something that made him unable to settle down - after getting the officer's reply, Elin had no way to let this matter go unattended by her own temperament.

Lin had such a hunch that if she went back like this, maybe nothing would happen in the end, but during this time, maybe many more people who could have survived died...... And the officer's reply made Lin firmly sit on this decision.

"I have a bad guess that needs to be confirmed - it would be great if we were busy in vain......"

The officer gave Lynn a deep look, turned around and opened the door and walked out.

"I'll explain it and ...... in advance."

"By the way, remember to bring the best gear!"

==============

"Why do you look like you've been fooled, is something going on?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I can still sense some malice......" Qasim, who returned fully armed, pressed his forehead in annoyance, "Misunderstood by a group of undisciplined souls." ”

Looking at Cassim's expression, Lin could guess a little bit.

[Is it despised as Lori's control?, Alas, think about it, too, and pretend to give excuses when traveling with the mysterious Lori Mage...... Anyone will be skeptical of your motives!]

"Don't worry, I'll be careful, I won't give you a chance to sin. ”

"How do you know what those people said!"

Facing the suddenly panicked Kassim, Lin wordlessly turned her head and smiled slightly--Lynn knows a lot about male thinking......

"What the hell are you looking for?"

Seeing that Lin seemed to be aimlessly searching for something on the previous battlefield, Kasim didn't figure out what Lin was looking for.

"Remember when Lisa and I appeared out of nowhere?"

"yes, I was shocked......

"Before that, Lisa and I were actually in Nazca City, and it seemed that something had been brought here β€” and I'm trying to find traces of that 'thing' right now. ”

"'Something'?"

Lynn's statement made Kasim have to care. If it's magic or some kind of teleportation array, it is generally not deliberately described as a specific thing, and Lin means. It was as if she was a living creature that had brought her here.

And Lynn's guess was exactly that.

In Qasim's eyes, Lynn had come to the battlefield as if she were moving in space. However, no one has prescribed. In fact, Lynn was brought here at a relatively constant speed for a short period of time - in Lynn's view, this way is more like a subway.

A "platform" connected to the outside world, and a "tunnel" in a different dimension......

And Lynn had sent out a Stygian Arrow before, and there was one thing she didn't tell Lisa about the information she had retrieved - that is, the arrow that could have reached enough range was actually projected in reality and only flew a little more than half of its original range before dissipating.

The biggest possibility of causing this situation is that Lynn was actually underground at the time!

"You can imagine that there is an 'earthworm' that humans can't observe. It came out of Nazca and let out a breath, and that's when Lisa and I were taken into our stomachs and then released all the way here......"

"What kind of strange statement is that...... And it's weird, okay?"

Kasim's mind couldn't help but think of a huge earthworm-like monster that would break out of the ground at any time and devour its prey, and subconsciously got goosebumps.

"I can only describe it in words that are easier for you to understand......"

Lin glared at Kasim dissatisfied, because she was stirred up by Kasim, even she began to feel that her previous description was a little inexplicably infiltrating.

"Of course, according to my guess, this monster is not actually traveling underground, but is supposed to be moving through the medium of 'land' - obviously. This creature that is supposed to exist in the earth elemental realm has appeared in the present world, and I don't believe that it is not man-made when you say that it is not man-made. ”

"Is it artificial......

Qasim also realized the meaning of what Lynn had specifically mentioned - someone drove nature to have its purpose, and the purpose of a person with such a means would not be something ordinary.

"Do you suspect that what has happened recently has something to do with the situation you mentioned? The sudden appearance of an untraceable undead attack and strange creatures that can be transported unnoticed is unconvincing. ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that. Don't forget, the appearance and attack of the undead. There must be a secret in it...... Hmm! I found it, it's this kind of fluctuation!"

Lynn finally found the trace of spatial fluctuations that remained.

"Angul! Can you track the other party's location?"

Lynn was responded to by the excited cries of fat bats.

Lin took out a crystal from her pocket that Aisha had given her. Put your palms together and press the crystal with a faint blue light in your palm. With a slight force, the crystal turned into powder.

Lynn poured half of it into Qasim's palm, "Eat it." ”

"This ...... Can you really eat it?"

This kind of swallowing of crystal powder seems to be something that only some dying miser would doβ€”at least in Qasim's opinion.

Then he watched as Lynn poured the rest of the powder into his own little mouth.

"What my teacher gave me, according to her, after taking the crystal, even ordinary people can temporarily gain the ability to travel through subspace, but after reaching the time limit, they will be forcibly teleported to the coordinate position when it was crushed - if the two of us divide it, time is enough. ”

Lynn explained to Kasim, who was skeptical and swallowed the shiny powder with his head up.

"And then?"

"Just hold me. ”

"Huh?"

Kasim suspected he had misheard, but following Lynn's gaze, he could only see Lynn's slightly teasing eyes.

"Angul himself is not good at this, if you don't get close to me, Angul won't have the ability to take you in~" Speaking of this, the corners of Lin's mouth rose slightly, "Isn't it a very exciting thing to have a cute girl take the initiative to report to you?" Of course, I will continue to correct the coordinates in this process, if I am distracted for some strange reasons, I am not in any danger, but Kassim-chan is likely to fall into some strange plane~." So...... A good journey requires effort from all of us, doesn't it?"

β€œ...... Me, can I choose to carry it instead of hugging it?"

"That's a pity" (laughs)

"No, no...... I really don't think it's a pity, it's really ......" (to be continued......

PS: It's kind of unbelievable...... All in all, we'll do our best!
