Chapter XXXIII Analysis
If that's the case, then there's a good chance they'll face a necromancer who has been gone for more than four hundred years.
That's a bit dangerous.
Suotaki swallowed his saliva, glanced at Orlando, and said tentatively: "Why don't we go back first?" Orlando looks quite normal now anyway......
Halfway through his words, he was glared at by Teklin.
"Well, I didn't say it!"
Suo Long shrank back with a stumbling expression.
The others didn't speak, but Orlando looked very annoyed, "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect this to happen." ”
If he had known in advance, he would not have appeared here so rashly.
The power of necromancers, even if he has not seen them, but he has heard of them in various legends, Orlando does not think that with the strength of their group, he has the capital to fight against necromancers.
Blank, who was sitting next to him, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Orlando, don't say that, in fact, this kind of thing is unpredictable for anyone." ”
"yes, before that, we all thought that there would be no necromancers in this world again. ”
Teklin also stepped in to comfort him.
Orlando shook his head, "I know, but this time it's going to be more dangerous than any previous adventure...... If anyone wants to give up now, I won't have any problem with that. ”
"Orlando, you know, there can be no absolute safety in any adventure, how can we retreat before we encounter danger?"
Blank disagreed.
He was a businessman, and he had always known that danger and opportunity coexisted.
Although it is dangerous to encounter the necromancer this time, it may not be an opportunity.
This is the first necromancer to appear in over 400 years!
He was able to get something out of this adventure, and when it was over, it was enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.
"That being said, but this time it's a little too dangerous. ”
Suo Long muttered quietly.
However, the small cave was not big in the first place, and even if Suotaki's voice was a small mutter, it was enough for all the other people in the cave to hear it.
Blanc glared at Suo Long, raised his voice and said, "So, we have to be even more vigilant in the next operation." ”
Obviously, he has no intention of quitting at all.
Suotaki, who was the only one who had some idea of retreating, also settled down after seeing that no one else had expressed the intention of pushing it out.
Restlessness doesn't work either.
If he goes back alone, who knows if he will encounter danger on the way?
It's safer to stay with other people.
"The level of danger of this adventure was indeed beyond our expectations, but it was not absolute. Orlando groaned for a moment, then continued, "As long as we plan properly, we may not be able to complete this adventure from the confrontation between the church and that necromancer. ”
"In that case, we have to reformulate our plan. ”
Blank turned his head and asked with a serious face, "Orlando, how long will it be before we get to the ruins you talked about?"
"We're running in the wrong direction because we're being driven by the rats, and if all goes well, we should have another five days to get to the ruins. ”
Orlando said after a little estimation of the distance.
"Five days? is not a short time, and I hope everything will go well. The attacks we encountered were so unusual that it seemed that the unknown necromancer didn't want to kill us, but had other plans. But what is its purpose?"
Blank asked, confused.
This is really an important point.
If they can't figure out the "purpose" of the other party, then their next actions will still be very passive.
"The first wolf attack was a touch away, and it felt like testing us. The second attack of the rat swarm, said it was an attack, and I looked more like it was driving us away. And the third time, the panther, I don't understand, what is the point of it coming to attack us?"
Lance also raised his doubts.
Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
For a moment, no sound could be heard in the cave except the crackling sound of burning firewood.
"Temptation? Exorcism?...... Undead...... Is he going to drive us to a particular place? I've heard that necromancers like to make sacrifices...... No, if a sacrifice is required, there shouldn't be any need to bother so much. So ......"
Lance then swept his gaze to everyone, and when he swept to Orlando, Lance's gaze paused slightly, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Is there something Orlando is hiding from us?
Is it possible?
Or is it that even Orlando doesn't know that the person who is hiding behind the scenes and manipulating all this is actually targeting him?
Lance's whispered analysis was obviously heard by the others, and in their ears, everyone else was fine, but the dwarf Teklin was a little breathless, and when he saw Lance pause, he hurriedly asked, "Then what, you should say it quickly." ”
"So...... He must be looking for something, and it's among us, and what it is, we don't know. ”
Lance slurred his guess.
"Looking for?"
Of course, this is just my guess, and I'm not sure if my analysis is correct. ”
Lance hurriedly explained.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the shoulder by Tycklin, only to hear Tyclin laugh and praise: "You kid, you don't see it! ”
"But where did you get all that information about necromancers?"
Suo Long asked.
Ike explained, "There lived an elderly bard in our village, whom we all called Grandpa Laurie, and everything Lance and I knew about it was from Grandpa Laurie. However, before that, we all thought it was just a legend. ”
Now it seems that the stories told by Grandpa Laurie may not be true.
Lance and Ike glanced at each other, and they both saw the burning fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
