434 Scouting
Rivaran Tansul's vague hint before leaving caused Beria Mayl to toss and turn all night, and she opened her eyes to the tattered deep crystal ceiling, breathing rapidly.
"What's wrong with me?" the shattered ceiling reflected a face that was almost transparent, and eyes that looked like corpses.
Such a face should not belong to a psyker, nor should it appear on the face of a chosen person.
Her mind was in turmoil, and she didn't know what kind of emotions had made her look like this.
Lose sleep over something.
She covered her forehead, gradually understanding that it was a concern.
What exactly does Rivaran Tanshur want to do to that ghost man?
Beria had a vague guess that it would definitely not be something pleasant for her.
She sat up on the smooth, cold deep crystal bed, put on a heavy cloak, and quietly left the dwelling.
She flew straight to the library in the center of the city, where she knew that Savian Ottoris had lived for more than a month, enough for her to know a lot about him.
But this is the first time I have visited my door.
Through the window, he saw the empty bedroom, and his heart sank.
"He's gone?"
Revaran Tanshur has already started dealing with him?
For a moment her heart was filled with anger, which made her want to burn the library in front of her to pieces, but just as this anger was about to erupt, she saw someone she knew very well push open the bedroom door and walk in.
The anger dissipated in an instant.
Penny was slightly stunned when he saw the face looking inward outside the window, then opened the window and nodded in greeting, "Lady Mayer, are you ...... Belch...... I was really pleasantly surprised. ”
"Where have you been?" Seeing the target, Beria didn't know what to say, her lips squirmed for a while, and she could only ask like this.
Maybe I'm too nervous, and Revaran won't be so quick to do it...... The female voter thought to herself.
She saw a very strange expression on the face of the ghostly man, as if she was surprised by her inquiry.
"Ms. Mayer, I just finished working in the library. Penny's expression looked a little inexplicable: "It's just time to rest." ”
"Oh......" Beria nodded, and then fell silent, as if she had nothing to say, she could use sharp words to disintegrate the opponent's persistence and self-confidence as much as she wanted, but when facing the person in front of her, she often felt that she didn't know what tone to use to talk to him.
This feeling made her a little embarrassed, and she flew in a hurry, did she just look at him and fly back again?
He's fine...... Belia thought, but something will happen, and she always knew in her heart that Revaran would definitely deal with the ghost man in front of her.
She didn't know if the Nether Prince really did what His Majesty Shar wanted, and she didn't know what kind of attitude the Queen of the Night had towards this Nether, she didn't want to know for a while, she only knew that he couldn't die.
So she decided to give him a tactful reminder.
She frowned slightly, and began to think about how to remind her.
She couldn't just tell the man in front of her, 'Revaran is going to deal with you', it was just her guess, not to mention that Revaran was also her colleague.
So what to say?
Be careful these days?
Such reminders were estimated to be of limited use, and she stood outside the window with a loss, the power of the flying spell dissipating at some point.
"Be careful!" Penny reacted quickly, taking two steps forward as Belia's body showed signs of falling, grabbing the female voter's wrist and slowly pulling her into the window.
Beria was half-lying on the bed under the window, watching the ghost man release the wrist he had just held that belonged to hers.
The atmosphere was awkward.
"That's right. As if to find such silence embarrassing, the ghost man began to look for a topic:
"Lady Mayer, tomorrow, I may not be able to go to you......"
"Why?" Beria immediately asked rhetorically.
"Because I just received an order to join the Defense Force as a wizard with the army. ”
Before the ghost man could finish speaking, Beria immediately interrupted: "Can't go." ”
The ghost man's voice was stunned, and he looked at the female electorate with a somewhat nervous expression in surprise, and then shook his head for a moment: "Lady Mayil, the armies of the Northland Alliance and the two kingdoms have reached the southern foot of the mountain range, and we must resist no matter what. ”
"It's for you to die. By the time the Shadow Man spoke of this, Beria was almost immediately certain that it was a ruse by Ryvaran.
Killing with a knife instead of doing it himself, this has always been the style of Révaran Tanshur - he does not personally participate in those bloody activities, as the second spiritual leader in the city after the Supreme Prince, Archbishop Révaran must always be aware of his image, although Shar is a demon god in the classic sense, but not as chaotic as the Queen of the Spider or Gloomy, and keeping it clean is one of the requirements of the Lady of the Night for her followers.
"Lady Mayil, it is the duty of every Nethersoul citizen to protect the Netherworld City, and the wizard apprentices who are much lower than me have some young people who have not been trained in combat skills have gone to the battlefield, and as a full-fledged arcanist, they should sacrifice their lives in battle...... Sacrificing for the sake of Yin Soul City is a matter of course, how can it be a death?......"
Syllable!
Beria frowned as she listened to the ghost man, and a flame slowly rose in her heart...... Hearing that he couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Savian Ortoris in the face.
"Then you should die. A vicious voice squeezed out from between her clenched teeth, and she unleashed her psionic energy, lifted her goblin-like form, and disappeared into the night sky.
The wizard rubbed his face, and although it didn't hurt much, a sense of pain reached his heart.
The woman was already emotional, and while it showed that Penny's plan had succeeded, it didn't make him happy.
Now it's time to think about how it ends up in the future.
If she knew it was all a hoax, she would have collapsed.
Does she deserve to be deceived, to collapse, to die??
Penny kept asking himself.
At least when he was Savian Ottoris, she didn't have any reason to be trapped.
"Bad women are so bad!" Alexia jumped down from the ceiling and rubbed Penny's cheek in distress, with a look of annoyance, "I actually hit Penny, huh! If it weren't for Daddy telling me not to hurt her...... I'm going to kill her tonight!"
"Don't go, Arlie. Penny held out a finger to block Ally's mouth, "Don't kill." ”
"Yali doesn't kill. Yali nodded: "Yali hasn't killed anyone yet." ”
"Okay, Ally is a good boy......" he stroked Ary's hair, and Ally leaned comfortably on the wizard's body, blinking her eyes with a depressed expression on her face.
"Penny, you just said you were leaving?" Arrie blinked, "Savian Ottoris has been assigned to the garrison?
"Yes, I have to go. Penny nodded: "But will be back soon, and then ......"
And then the ritual was almost done...... He pressed his temple.
And he's not quite ready, at least he doesn't know the whereabouts of the Key of Isil Aaron.
He glanced at Alexia, who was lonely, and suddenly a thought that made his heart palpitate came to him from the depths of his mind: the next battle in the Netherworld City will be unprecedented and tragic, and may even endanger the safety of the city itself, and part of Yali's body is the Mithic Core under the Netherworld City, if the Netherworld City is destroyed, what will happen to her?
A chill ran down his spine.
This war is about to change the fate of countless creatures in the Torrell universe, but before the curtain is opened, a corner has already made Penny aware of the cruelty of the future, but no matter what, he will protect her.
He thought to himself, hugging Alexia, who had squinted his eyes.
And them.
...... I don't know what to do.
Anger filled Beria's chest, and if it had been in the past, she would have killed a few people to vent her emotions when she was angry.
But now the anger she felt was more intense than anything she had ever felt before, but the strange thing was that she only slapped him once, which was to vent her anger, but she still felt uncomfortable.
This emotion seemed to be defined as grievance, and she sincerely reminded him of the danger, but was ignored by righteousness.
She took a few deep breaths, and felt that it was really in vain that she had gone out of her way to remind her, and there was no value at all.
Or in the heart of that ghost man, her reminder couldn't compare to the thought of sacrificing for the ghost city.
But he didn't think about it, where would he be assigned, and if he really hung up, would it be worth it?
She sighed, her anger calming down a little again, and she meditated silently for a while, thinking that her performance in the meeting had not been perfect.
"I should make it clear, at least tell him that someone wants to deal with him, and that if an arcane scholar goes to the front, it's a death. ”
She began to regret it a little.
Do you want to go back and make it clearer?
She hesitated for a moment, finally overwhelmed her stubborn dignity and flew back to the window lattice of the library, but the sight she saw from afar made her feel that time in the world had come to a standstill.
A petite girl sat next to the ghostly man in an intimate gesture.
It's Alexia.
A furious fire that burst ten times more than just now erupted in her heart, causing her heart to burn so much that her blood almost boiled, but this anger did not detonate the urge to destroy and kill, but to flee.
Run away as fast as you can, and never look back.
She flew back to her lodgings as fast as she could, her mind almost draining her psionic energy.
She lay on the cold bed, her mind blank.
...... For Beria's reminder, although the wizard spoke a series of big truths, his heart was not as dull as it seemed.
A group of arcane scholars who basically have no ability to fight spells have been assigned to the forefront of resisting foreign invasions, and although the military department's call order falls on every arcane master in the library without discrimination, it is not normal no matter how you look at it, especially when he and another unlucky apprentice are assigned to the scout team, he knows that this arrangement is mostly strange.
His teammate, Nit Belle, the apprentice of the Arcanist who worked in the library like Savian, was doing a reconnaissance in the sky while grunting, as if lamenting his bad luck.
Penny was secretly amused, he was indeed unlucky enough, and it can be said that he was indirectly harmed by him.
Although he was vague about the truth of the incident, through the little words leaked by Belial, Penny knew that if what happened to this group of arcane scholars was really because of him, then it could be easily deduced that there were people in the Netherworld who wanted his life, and this matter was mostly related to Belial.
If that person had transferred all the Arcane scholars in the city to the army just to kill him, it would be even more indicative of this character's unusual status.
The answer is already forthcoming, and most likely his actions have seriously threatened the position of Beria, the chosen one, in the Shar church.
Beria may not be unhappy with this, but her colleagues and Shar herself may not have a problem with this.
The elect of a god has a very important position in the church of God, comparable to the 'holy woman' and 'son of God' of some denominations, and among the various churches of Torrell, the elect is the most noble creature under the gods, and if the elect loses his position in the church for some reason, it will probably not be a good thing for the church.
Penny knew this, and the way he used to influence Belial was greatly inconsistent with Share's teachings, and directly piercing the flaws in Belial's heart made her mind spells full of loopholes.
In this way, it is only natural that some people in the Shar church will look at him unpleasantly, and they will want to destroy him.
The squad scout captain in front of him coughed and sighed, and Penny was secretly amused, knowing that he remembered the scene when he accepted the mission.
The mission was issued by Prince Clarry Berners Tansur, one of the Supreme Army Commanders of Shadow City, and Penny only remembers the strange way he looked at him.
There are hundreds of locations around the city that need to be investigated, and the scouts in the city are limited, so they have to divide these locations into several areas, and then hand over the reconnaissance task of a single area to a certain unit.
With Penny on the team, then they undoubtedly won the lottery.
At the southern foot of the Scimitar Peak mountain range, a hundred miles to the south is the important Cormier town of Tivanton, and it is also an important territory that Cormier and the Netherworld City have fought for many years.
It is said that the coalition forces that invaded the Netherworld this time were stationed here.
According to the scout captain, it is the enemy who can suddenly jump out from behind the rocks.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the accomplices on the left and right have expressions on their faces as if they were facing great enemies.
