Relic (9)

As Taylor said, not to mention monsters, even beasts are rare, even if the team has left Devonburgh territory.

This makes the atmosphere of the entire escort team inevitably relaxed, even laid-back, and the trio of Gerak, Laura and Pierce are not immune to its influence.

Gracker: "You know, when I get the money, I'm going to change houses. ”

Pierce: "Why? I think you're in a good place." ”

Gracker: "When you've met Mrs. Bush, you'll know why I'm changing." ”

Laura: "I think it would be better if you spent some money to rest on your appearance, the last time I went to bed I saw a bug crawling on your beard." ”

Grak: "Hmph, you know what, beard is a man's romance!"

After a pause, he continued, "Do you really see bugs?"

In a large army, the bounty hunters were obviously much more relaxed, and they didn't have to worry about the itinerary and route, because it was all planned by Taylor, and they just had to obey and defend themselves on the road.

The old vulture was visibly silent after joining the escort team, and unlike the previous free talk with the three of them, he now preferred to be alone, and he basically didn't contact anyone else except for necessary communication.

This reassured Laura a lot, at least she didn't have to be on the lookout for him all the time.

Tia was taken care of by Taylor, so meticulous that she would care about whether her mouth would burn to the point when she ate, and now even Laura had to wonder if Taylor really had a male and female mind for Tia.

It's just that this is destined to be a tragedy, and it won't take long for the two to separate, and it is likely that they will never see each other.

The journey was extremely smooth, and it didn't take extra time to deal with emergencies, and the escort team took a few days to reach the border of Boulder City. The mission is nearing the end, and it has pushed the atmosphere of the team to a new level, the smiles on everyone's faces have hardly been broken, and it is easy to get an income of 100 gold coins in dozens of days, is there a better job than this?

In the middle of the group, Laura puts Tia back to her, feeling sorry, but she knows what she needs to do next.

Naturally, there is Taylor where there is Tia, and he still has that concerned expression: "Tia, you are almost in Boulder City, do you feel anything?"

Tia: "Feel...... It doesn't feel anything special. ”

Taylor: "Really? That's a shame. ”

Grack: "What's the pity, the mission is almost complete, and I should be happy." ”

Taylor: "Hehe, I totally agree. ”

The dwarf warrior smiled, and it was "hehe" again, you can't use it haha?

Laura: "Just put the things in the hands of the other person and we can leave?"

Taylor: "Maybe. ”

Pierce: "Maybe?"

Taylor: "Oh, I'm sorry, yes, just put things in each other's hands and we'll be able to leave, go back to our respective homes, and enjoy our lives." ”

The old vulture glanced at each other imperceptibly.

didn't want to look at him with the other party, and Taylor returned a vague smile.

The old vulture frowned and felt heavy.

Suddenly, someone shouted at the front of the escort procession.

"Behold, here we are!"

Then the whole team burst into cheers.

Gracker: "It's finally over, but I'm tired." ”

Laura: "You didn't do anything, did you?" ”

Pierce: "It's good to be there, it's good to be there." ”

"Hmm. Taylor laughed, "It's good to be there." ”

Suddenly, there was a darkness in front of them, and a violent sense of weightlessness hit, and before they could shout, everyone fell sharply and fell into the dark hollow.

......

...

The cool water slid past her ears, the coldness of her fingertips brought back consciousness, Laura woke up, she sat up, and found herself lying on a pool of clear water without sinking.

Looking ahead, the water was boundless, stretching to the end as if swallowed by the white light at the end, but there was no sun hanging in the sky during the day, but a full moon of strange size, exuding the light of the sun, but not the warmth of the sun.

"Are you awake?"

A voice came from behind her, and Laura turned around, and the old vulture stood not far behind her.

Laura stood up and asked, "Where is this?"

There was a strong suspicion in the words.

The old vulture didn't care about the other party's suspicions, and said, "I don't know, it seems to be some kind of magical space." ”

Laura: "What about the others?"

Old Vulture: "I don't see it, but it should not be far from us." ”

The enchanter stared at each other, the suspicion in his eyes becoming more and more obvious.

The old vulture sighed and said, "I know what you're thinking, I really can't blame you for some of my past actions, but this situation has nothing to do with me now, and such a huge magical space is not something that I can do as a bounty hunter, and this can only be created by a magician above the fifth order." ”

The explanation, while not fully approved by Laura, is at least skeptical of how much it is weakened. The old vulture was right, it was not for him to create such a magical space in the form of a trap.

But why a trap?

Since there are magicians above the fifth order, it is not very difficult to slaughter the entire escort team and then take away the holy relics, but it will take a little time.

Old Vulture: "Let's go." ”

Laura: "Where?"

She was wary of the other.

The old vulture said as he walked, "Find the others, in a strange place, the two of us alone will not survive, although they may not survive if they find Gerrak, but at least try." ”

Laura hesitated slightly, paused and followed.

The two of them went one after the other, there was no communication at all, there was no scenery on the clear pond except for the water, and the surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that the two of them could not hear any sound except for the soft sound of their boots sweeping away the water.

Suddenly, the old vulture stopped, and he looked down at the water, and did not move for a long time.

After looking at it for a while, Laura couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Old Vulture: "We...... Probably back to where it was. ”

Laura: "What do you mean?"

The old vulture turned to his side, and a bag floated on the surface of the water, which was the seasoning he had carried along the way.

Old Vulture: "I left it here before I left, and now we're back here." ”

Laura: "Are you kidding?"

The old vulture grimaced and said, "Do I look like it? The water here doesn't flow." ”

Laura was stunned for a moment, and looked down, and saw that the water seemed to be solidified, and there was no normal flow of water at all.

She frowned, "Maybe it's because when we were walking, we disturbed the water and drove the bag, and it floated nearby?"

Old Vulture: "Do you think the water we drive will make the bag flutter with us?"

Laura pursed her lips, obviously, this was impossible, if the two of them were walking through the ripples of the water to drive the bag, then most likely, they would never see the bag again.

The old vulture continued, "And it's not us who paddle the water, it's the water that makes way for us. ”

Startled again, Laura lowered her head and slowly slid the water with her feet, looking closely at the water in her direction before her boots moved. Laura was shocked to find that all the clothes on her body, not even the soles of her shoes, did not feel the slightest feeling of wetness.

Laura: "What's going on?"

"I don't know, and I'm expecting someone to tell me. ”

The old vulture's face was terrible, and the situation was completely beyond his control, because he couldn't even figure out what was going on in this boundless pool.

Just when the two of them were distressed, a familiar voice sounded.

"Hey, good fellow, I've finally found you, what the is this place?"

"It's just the two of you?"

Grak's previously annoying voice seemed so reassuring at this time.

Seeing the two companions again made Laura smile.

The four of them converged, and the old vulture explained the situation he had found before to the new two again, and he knew that Gerak would definitely not be able to detect this strange phenomenon, and as for Pierce, there was a dwarven warrior in front of him, and he could not find it.

Grak squatted down and looked at the water thoughtfully: "Hearing you say that, it seems to be true, and then, have you thought of any way to get out of this hellish place?"

No one answered.

Grak: "What, full of confidence, I thought you had some idea, but it turned out to be a fart." ”

Pierce: "Gerak, I think we still have to feel a little bit of a crisis. ”

Grack: "Crisis? Hammer machine, where is the danger but us are water?"

"That's right, where's the danger?"

An abrupt voice joined the conversation, and everyone looked at Taylor, the head of the escort team.

Grack: "Tsk, are you okay? That's bad......"

The dwarven warrior closed his mouth, anger in his eyes.

There was another person beside Taylor, Tia, unconscious and holding his hair in one hand.

Laura said coldly, "Taylor, what do you mean?"

Taylor deliberately said with a cynical look: "What do you mean, I'm just taking Gluck's words." ”

The enchanter took the bow and pulled the string, and in one go, aimed at Taylor, his eyes showing a fierce light.

"Alright, don't scare me with these toys. Taylor smiled nonchalantly, shaking Tia's head as he continued, "It's fine, don't worry, I value it more than you." ”

Laura gritted her teeth in anger and loosened her bowstring, but the arrow stopped on the bow, floating in the air and stagnating.

Taylor: "Look, I said these toys don't work for me. ”

The old vulture stepped forward and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

Taylor touched his chin and said, "In the whole team, you are the only one who has been suspicious of me, do I have any flaws?"

The old vulture did not answer.

Taylor realized: "I see, it seems that it is because of the rejection of the same sex." ”

Grak took the double-edged axe and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, let go of Tia and answer the question!"

"Absolutely. Taylor unexpectedly let go of Tia, "But first I have to introduce myself, I'm not Taylor, no, I'm Taylor, no, I'm Taylor, no, I'm the same as him now, but it's not actually Taylor, well, it's not easy to explain, I think it's easier to understand by showing it to you." ”

Taylor shook it out of thin air, and a skinless corpse with fresh flesh appeared in his hand.

"Guys, please get to know the real Taylor. ”
