Chapter 23 Ruins
Melasto ruins·Outside—
"I think you seem a little conspicuous..." Looking at the elf girl beside you, Weir grabbed his hair.
Along the way, Vir was not unaware of the strange sight lines. Of course, he also understood the meaning of those sight lines. However, with the great reduction in strength, Vir actually had no idea whether he could protect this simple-minded elf girl in a sneak attack.
"Is that so? I think it's good."
"Wait...here!"
Walking to an inconspicuous corner, Vill grabbed Eve's right hand and flashed into a narrow corner.
"you……"
"Shh!"
With the cover of the chaotic rocks in the remains, the two of them hugged and carefully peeked into the situation outside.
After a while, extremely slight footsteps came, and then stopped near the hiding place of Vir and Eve.
"Where are people?"
This sounds extremely young and should belong to a teenager.
Take out a newly purchased dagger from his waist, and Weir planned his own offensive. Although these short daggers with silver coins were not suitable, in this case, it was at least much more concealed than magic attacks.
"Click."
It sounds like someone stepping on a small stone.
"Um?"
Just as the boy raised his head, he flashed and Weir directly pressed the dagger against the stalker's neck.
"Who are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "swipe" sound, and the boy with a long cloak turned into a pile of sand and fell on the ground.
"?! Ningfrost!" As soon as he raised his hand, a vast white ice crystal froze the ground within a few meters together. Under the shackles of ice, the strange boy turned back into a human form, but in the eyes of this boy, a trace of resentment was clearly visible.
"Do you know him?" Waving at Eve, Vir had no idea when he had angered such a strange guy.
"I don't know... let's go. Follow this road and we can go to the center of the ruins." Pointing to a path ahead of the right, Eve stepped on the itinerary directly.
"Is this still the Eve I know?" Looking at the elf girl's back gradually fading away with a look of surprise, Vill was a little suspicious of her eyes, "When did this guy get so brave?"
"Silly Fly
Moth, fire will not be extinguished..." The boy's voice sounded again, but this time, the words were more of a contemptuous mockery.
"What's the meaning?"
Turning around, Vir found that the strange boy's body melted like cheese.
Along with his coat.
"How is that possible?" Weir suddenly doubted his eyes. In his perception, the strange boy completely disappeared at that moment, without a trace of breath, as if he had never existed.
Is it an illusion?
Touching his chin, Vill was stunned when he looked at the dagger in his hand.
"What are you still looking at? Come here!"
"Here you come."
...
The ruins of Melasto · Inside—
From the outside, the ruins seem to be very small, but when he really walked into the ruins, Weir realized how outrageous he was wrong. The ruins extend downwards, and it seems that they were built under the ground. The winding roads are as annoying as mazes, with broken walls and broken stones everywhere. Perhaps because of the time too long, countless monsters who like darkness have multiplied in this ruins. Apart from the nests of monsters, those pungent and toxic gases are also a headache.
However, it seems that because there are more adventurers in the event, fluorite and some discarded armor fragments can be seen everywhere. Of course, there are also some things that are not so popular, such as those skeletons scattered on the ground. Obviously, many guys have their lives on the road to finding the "holy sword".
Although he had lost his strength for the time being, with his agile skills and skillful skills, the two-person team of Weir still advanced to the center of the ruins at an indescribable speed. However, what Weir didn't expect was that he didn't know what had happened. The elf girl who had been stopping behind him actually raised the longbow in her hand for the first time. With Eve's assistance, Weir's speed of traveling also accelerated a lot.
...
After walking for a long time, Ville and Eve had to do a simple trimming by a low wall. The battle along the way made these two guys who were like headless flies exhausted.
"We've been here," pointed to a scratch on the ground. Weir's face was a little bad. As the main thug, he had no consumption.
The doubt is the biggest.
"Is that true?" Eve shot a murder bee rushing over. He looked at the deserted ruins around him and was also confused. "I don't know... maybe he was taking the wrong path."
"Yanshou!"
A fire gully was drawn, and Vill looked at the dark group of monsters in the distance and sweated: "I did feel the holy sword you mentioned, but its breath was a bit strange, always giving me a feeling of being far and near. And... do you think we two can pass through so many monsters without any harm? Are you serious?"
"Ga!"
"Wind Slash!"
With a light shout, a scorpion trying to jump over the fire wall was cut into both ends, and the black and green blood flew everywhere.
"I remember when I came last time I didn't have that many monsters?"
"Last time...when was the last time you came?" Weir suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"It was probably decades ago, but I remember that there were not so many monsters here..." Looking at the dark surroundings in confusion, Eve's face was full of doubts.
"Decades? Do you know what decades mean?"
"Hmm? Didn't it pass in the blink of an eye?"
Looking at the elf girl's eyes, Weir suddenly found that he had no meaning to discuss the definition of "time" with this long-lived race.
"Okay, how long will it take to get there..."
"I'm too..." His expression suddenly froze, and Eve suddenly stood there blankly.
"Eve?"
"This direction..."
Unconsciously raised his hand, and a strange male voice slowly spoke from Eve's mouth. A strange white light spread rapidly in the direction of Eve's fingers, extending to the end of the road. It seemed that because of fear of the spreading breath, the monsters that were about to rush through the flames suddenly trembled wildly. They quickly retreated like a tide of ebbing. After a while, they disappeared from Vill's sight.
"Go, you'll get what you want."
"Wait! Who are you?"
"A man who is played with by fate, I'll wait for you in the pure white land." The voice dissipated with the faint white mist, and Eve's whole body collapsed as if she had been extracted from strength.
