Time passed, and the execution ground became quiet in the dark night.
After Elva left, the place completely lost all signs of activity, and the yellow sand several meters high completely buried everything inside.
"..."
Just keep the status quo like this, and then a considerable period of time passes.
The yellow sand at the execution ground began to make a slight "crunching" sound. It was difficult to hear such a small sound unless you were close, and ordinary people would only regard it as a vague illusion.
But then, this small voice gradually became louder.
If you listen carefully, it sounds like the noise made by rodents digging in the soil.
——A few more seconds passed.
At the edge of a piece of yellow sand, a specific area began to faintly reveal a faint white color, and you could vaguely see the white color shaking a little.
The white light gradually became brighter.
Finally, it can be clearly seen that the light source is close to the wall in the yellow sand, gradually moving upward.
brush--
Finally, an arm wrapped in white light stretched out from the yellow sand.
Five fingers were immediately clasped firmly on the wall of the execution ground.
Immediately afterwards, the owner of the arm suddenly exerted force relying on this support.
Only a 'pop' sound was heard.
The two entangled figures broke away from the shackles of the gravel, and then rushed to the top of the fence outside the scene.
Fortunately, there is a stand at the top of the execution ground to monitor the scene, and the space is spacious enough.
After rolling on the spot a few times, the two of them did not fall directly from here.
After realizing that he was out of bounds, Ronald sat down on the top of the wall of the execution ground, and then placed the limp Claudia next to him.
Knowing that Elva was no longer here, he lay back and took a few breaths of fresh air:
"Aha--"
"Come out...we are coming out!"
"..."
At the same time, Claudia lying next to her was different from Ronald, who was extremely physically fit. Her condition was obviously weaker.
A slender girl lies on the top of the wall.
After panting for a long time, he gradually calmed down his breathing rhythm.
At this time, a gust of cold night wind happened to blow past where the two of them were.
Claudia, who was startled and with a flushed face, tilted her head, and her eyes immediately shifted to Ronald's face next to her.
Noticing his companion's gaze, Ronald also turned his head and looked over.
"..."
There was an awkward silence in the air.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, Claudia tilted her head and asked in a bad tone:
"Ronald, how long has it been since you brushed your teeth?"
"..."
Hearing this question, Ronald was stunned for a moment.
Think about it subconsciously.
Because of the inconvenience on board the ship, he didn't even have time to brush his teeth from the time he boarded the ship in Burrenwich until yesterday when he arrived in Springs.
It seems...it has indeed been a while
After experiencing the situation just now, it is no wonder that Claudia asked this question.
I'm really sorry for not brushing my teeth...
Although there was some embarrassment on his face, Ronald also knew that Claudia was changing the subject, otherwise neither of them would be able to speak tonight if the delicate atmosphere was maintained.
So he dispersed the large amount of black mist he summoned.
After the atmosphere calmed down, Ronald finally said:
"Isa, that guy has run away."
"Looking at the location where he last disappeared, it should be southwest of the city."
While speaking, Ronald stretched out his hand and pointed in the distance.
He could feel Elva's position just now, but unfortunately the suppression of these gravels was too severe, making it difficult for him to control the black mist and continue to pursue the opponent.
As for now...
The two sides were too far away, and he could no longer feel the specific location of the other side.
At the same time, after hearing Ronald's description, Claudia, who was still resting, also turned her attention to the southwest.
She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then her eyes darkened:
"Southwest direction..."
"That's the location of the train station in the city. This guy probably ran away."
"You run really fast."
"..."
When telling this result, Claudia waved her hands helplessly. She was obviously not satisfied with this situation.
After hearing such an answer, Ronald's mood was inevitably a little complicated.
Looking at Claudia lying flat on the top of the wall next to him, he couldn't help but complain:
"In other words, the few original code holders I have met are almost all very decisive when they choose to escape or simply admit defeat. Is this a mysterious trend?"
For the first time, Claudia rolled her eyes indecently in front of Ronald.
Feeling her strength beginning to recover, the girl sat up half-stretched, and then replied:
"It is better to surrender or run away than to die directly at the hands of others."
"After all, he is the holder of the original code, and generally he will not force people to death. Unless they are absolutely crushed in strength and have no worries, who knows what irrational things the other party will do before death?"
"The battle on the mysterious side is more about interests. It is enough to achieve the goal."
Hearing this answer, Ronald nodded noncommittally:
"That's true..."
"..."
Just like this, while blowing the cold winter wind, we exchanged opinions with each other.
As the physically stronger of the two, Ronald felt his physical strength recover first and immediately stood up on the top of the wall.
Under the dark night, he stared at the execution ground that looked like a sea of sand in front of him.
Ronald couldn't help but look down at his gloves.
Facing tonight's situation, he could not help but feel a little emotional for a while.
If they hadn't entrusted Claudia to make this pair of gloves for them before the battle, and without the power of [Guardian] to ensure their own safety, they would probably have to pay a higher price for dealing with Elva, a veteran spellcaster.
He fought against genuine original code holders twice, and the facts told him that this was a very dangerous thing.
Even if I have the advantage of understanding the original language.
However, with the help of experience accumulated over the years, people from other worlds also have a side that they cannot catch up with.
At this moment, Claudia stood up next to her.
However, unlike Ronald who was looking at the execution ground, the direction she was looking at was the location in the city of Springs.
Feeling the cold wind blowing on yourself.
There was a look of thought on the girl's face.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she decisively said to Ronald:
"Ronald, take me to your house?"
Ronald was stunned for a moment:
"well?"
"Go to my house?"
"Don't think blindly." Hearing Ronald's doubtful tone, Claudia shook her clothes helplessly, "Do you think I can go home directly?"
Swipe and pull——
Reflecting Claudia's movements.
A lot of yellow gravel shook off from the corners of her clothes.
She was buried in the gravel just now. Unlike Ronald, she didn't stick to a grain of sand.
