Chapter 49: The Harvest
Twenty-one hours had passed since Celia and Margalesia had come out of the Half-Plane Blue City.
They are now about halfway to Kalando, the capital of freedom.
The midday sun was hot, but neither of them chose to rest because of this temperature, and their time was running out.
Now that she had changed her outfit and was no different from her usual adventurers, Margalesia asked Celia who was following behind.
"Celia, how much longer?"
"In another three hours, the stealth effect will be gone. ”
Celia was still dressed in a black robe, with gray hair hanging down from her shawl, and a silver pseudo-dragon with closed eyes resting on her shoulder.
The only difference is that the soft gray hair still wears a miniature golden crown, but the golden color of the crown has rusted a little and lost its original luster.
Celia replied as she walked.
She spoke neither fast nor slow, and her pace was the same, and she seemed to be particularly comfortable in the forest.
This is the best way to travel, to maximize the balance of physical strength and speed, and the pace that adventurers must learn in the wilderness.
But what is surprising is that the two of them did not make a sound or movement at all, whether they passed by the grass pile or stepped on the dead branches.
Even if the ants are under their feet and they step on them, the ants are still moving the food the size of a grain of rice in place and carrying it back to the burrow for storage.
This is the most clever stealth technique, which can completely hide your voice and movements, and will not affect anything.
Just as wanderers enter the shadow plane, they also enter an illusory plane.
In this way, in the main material plane, the traces of the two of them disappeared completely.
It's like a miracle.
However, Celia knew that this was a miracle, because the spell that seemed to be a high-level stealth spell was a spell solidified on a demi-artifact.
A demigod called [Dimensional Crown] is the one she wears on her head.
When released, all allies within 30 feet can enter the dimensional plane for a duration of 12 hours, once a day.
It is said to have been created by a certain [demigod] mage during the era when the elves ruled the Io continent.
It's a defective product, and it can only be used ten times in total, and it will disintegrate due to energy chaos.
Later, in the Elven War, the demigod weapon was exiled to the other world due to the demise of its master, and was accidentally obtained by the traveling mage.
After that, it was placed in the collection exhibition of the Green City, as one of the collections of the traveling mage.
It was then obtained by Celia from Taling and became their escape weapon from those people.
Looking back now, Celia could feel the anger of the tower spirit at their true face, and she was helpless to tell them how to use it.
"Then let's walk for two hours, then find a place to rest, and then leave the next day...... Alas......"
Margaretsia looked at the already rusty golden crown on the top of the gray-haired girl's head, and she said in a regretful tone.
Celia heard the sigh in her own leader's breath, and naturally understood what she was sighing.
But now that they are alive and sound, they are blessed by the gods.
If you are still hoping to get more, I am afraid that even the most greedy multicolored dragon queen will feel that your greed is still above it when she sees you.
"Even if [Dimension Crown] only has three spell usage quotas left, it's enough for us to return to Karandu, don't worry, Captain. ”
"And they seem to have given up chasing us, don't they?"
During the nine hours that Celia had been in the Advanced Invisibility Technique, she could still see humans trying to collect them in the jungle from the very beginning.
But by the time it was almost dawn, there was no one trying to find them near where they had become invisible.
"Don't take it lightly, Celia, there must be very clever wanderers in that group, I feel it, otherwise they wouldn't have found us so quickly. ”
Although Margalessia was a little distressed about the wear and tear of the artifact, she saw that Celia was a little indifferent, and immediately gave her the necessary advice.
"I know!"
Celia nodded in approval, her expression solemn.
Completely different from the appearance of fighting spirit from the beginning, in less than a day, she has experienced a lot.
So that after her emotions calmed down, Celia knew that there was another black hand behind the scenes, and she made up her mind to take revenge.
She is no longer alive alone, and she wants to ask for an explanation for them.
Although they are not strong enough now, as long as they are alive, there is hope.
Seeing that Celia did not let her guard down because of the presence of the demigods, Margalesia also breathed a sigh of relief.
She was a little afraid that Celia would lose her mind because of the artifact.
After all, in history, there are countless people who have artifacts and have been counterattacked.
"Let's go, Celia, there's still some way to go. ”
"Hmm!"
In a space that could not be seen at all in the main material plane, the two continued their journey back to Karando.
There, there is the light of hope for revenge.
......
Calando Sewers, Southeast Region.
It's been three hours since the commissioning for sewer cleaning was issued.
The rat tribe, the rat man capital, which occupies more than fifty pipes and gathers, is already a rat panic.
Although adventurers have not yet found this place, it is only a matter of time.
The sudden arrival of these adventurers in the sewers completely disrupted the good wishes and plans of the nezumi tribe.
They haven't even completely occupied the southeast region before they have ushered in the most terrifying adventurers in the legend.
What makes them even more desperate is that this kind of unwarranted disaster befalls them.
The sacrificial lord, who was originally the supreme in the rat tribe, has now disappeared.
Let them be a little leaderless for a while.
Some nezumi suggest avoiding these adventurers, avoiding their edges, finding a remote place they can't find, and redeveloping.
Some nezumi think that they can't dodge, and they can use their strengths to fight those adventurers in the sewers.
Even if they die, bite off a piece of their flesh to let them know that nezumi are not easy to bully.
Just when these two voices were at a stalemate among the nezumi tribe.
There are already five well-equipped adventure squads, converging from all directions from the outer pipes of the Nezumi Capital.
The nezumi who act as scouts at the mouth of the pipe are no match for those elite human wanderers.
Without any suspense, his throat was cut and his cervical vertebrae were twisted.
The clear division of labor and the huge territory of the nezumi tribe surprised these adventurers, but more than that, they were happy.
It also means that those silver cuties are waving to them.
A harvest party is about to kick off......
