Hearing this scream, Ronald shot the tree spirit to death.
When Costadt poked out his palm and began to pull out the original magic of the opponent's body, Ronald turned his head and rushed to the location where Layton and Hull were.
——First look.
——The situation is very bad.
The little girl Hull's eyes were full of panic, while Layton was already lying on the ground, and her breathing was completely gone without even being sore that her chest pain.
“…”
"I'll take a look."
Ronald immediately bent his knees and squatted beside Layton.
Breathing, pulse, eyeballs...
These conditions that can judge the human body's state, Layton, without exception, meets the characteristics of death.
And it's even more helpless.
It was Ronald who also felt that Layton's mind quickly weakened during the detection of the power of "fury", and then disappeared into the scope of the spell's investigation.
There is no other answer.
Layton is dead.
This middle-aged man who was able to explore the forest with them just now suddenly fell in front of everyone.
“…”
What's going on?
Didn't you say there were two days left?
Ronald did not feel any attack on Layton, and he himself did not want to be attacked. In this case, Ronald turned his puzzled gaze behind him.
In this direction, the maid's movements were swift and smooth after extracting the magic of the tree spirit.
In just a blink of an eye, Costadt also arrived at the position where Layton fell.
Ronald immediately asked for verification:
"Costadt, I remember you didn't say he had two days to live?"
Costadt shook his head and apologized:
"Sir, it was my mistake."
"Before, based on Mr. Layton's physical condition and his strong vision of escorting Hull home, I made a wrong judgment that I could survive for up to two days... I have a serious lack of understanding of humanity."
“…”
Ronald understood the meaning of Costadt's words.
After "successfully" sending Hull home and watching a series of events in which the other party's entire clan was destroyed, the trace of obsession in Leiden's heart of "escorting the other party home" had completely disappeared.
Losing support from will.
The middle-aged man was unable to maintain his state, so he fell here completely.
“…”
At this moment, Ronald looked at Hull with a broken expression.
His eyes were a little helpless.
If he was allowed to fight with all kinds of powerful enemies, or conduct some inspection work that required meticulous operation, he could of course make a guarantee by patting his chest.
But if he wants to persuade a child who is destroyed and trusted to die before his eyes, he has no choice.
If the original texts such as parenting guides also exist in this world.
Should I learn the above magic?
Just when Ronald was extremely speechless, even his mind began to think about it.
Costadt, who was standing beside him, felt his helplessness.
At this time, the maid missed the normal state. She took the initiative to cross Ronald's position, then came to Hull, and hugged the little girl in her arms with a very gentle movement and slowly comforted her:
"Child, if you are sad, just cry loudly."
"Costadt is here, I will help you..."
“…”
"Woooo...ahhhh!"
Hull cried out, and finally turned into some wailings with only pain.
Costadt always kept his movements.
As the maid said before, she comforted the little girl who was emotionally broken in front of her as much as possible, and also provided her with psychological and physical protection.
Ronald stood nearby.
He could clearly feel that the maid in front of him did not use any spells.
Costadt just used this gentle female posture to comfort the little girl in front of her as much as possible in words and movements, while allowing the other party to vent the pain in his heart.
A moment.
Ronald almost thought that this was really a human girl full of maternal glory!
“…”
It took a lot of time to appease the little girl and follow-up treatment here.
After burying the corpse of middle-aged caster Layton in the forest, and disposing of the corpses of tree spirits and monsters killed everywhere, time has come to dusk.
In this case.
Costad came to Ronald with the sleeping girl in his arms.
Ronald could even see Hull's slender neck hanging on the rune pendant that Layton left behind.
It was just that Costadt's next words ruined the atmosphere.
The maid asked in a very plain tone:
"Sir, should we return her to the forest or take her to continue the action?"
“…”
Ronald was speechless for a moment.
This is the real Costadt. After handling the job of appeaseing the girl, she showed her extremely indifferent attitude towards other things in front of Ronald.
“…”
Ronald thought for a few seconds.
Then he answered in a way that did not match the problem:
"Costadt, didn't you say you were trying to upgrade your emotions before?"
"If you really want to do this, then you need to change your previous blunt attitude, which is the key to dealing with emotional issues, in terms of things and people other than me, or the Adler family.
.”
“…”
Costadt stood there and blinked.
She had never expected to get such a reply from Ronald.
What made the maid care even more was that after calculation, she found that what Ronald said was indeed a feasible attempt.
Costadt spoke almost subconsciously:
"Sir, I am convinced by your wisdom."
Ronald did not realize that Costadt's emotions at this time were truly derived from subconscious behavior, so he still smiled bitterly as usual:
"I said don't flatter like this."
“…”
Costadt bowed slightly:
"Sir, this is my sincere praise."
“…”
The little episode ends.
The repetitive and boring journey is unfolding again.
After exploring this period of time, Ronald and his team have gradually approached the center of the forest from the corner southeast of the Yoyz Forest. The northern center of the mouth of the tree spirit now needs them to tilt the route northwest.
At this time, Hull actually showed her uniqueness.
This unique life growing in the primeval forest is not as afraid of all kinds of sudden appearances as ordinary children. Even if Ronald and Costadt sometimes let her stay alone in the same place to deal with the battle, Hull will grow old.
Wait honestly for the two to handle the battle and return to their original position, and there will be no behavior that may lead to danger during this period.
Even when facing some more special plants or animals.
She can also provide some appropriate suggestions and information.
In this way, the team of three people advanced for a full three days.
When they absolutely did not meet the normal speed of human progress, their position was also close to the central northern forest in the mouth of the tree spirit.
But it's here.
A very special situation appears before your eyes.
Green powder-like objects visible to the naked eye permeate the woods in front of them, covering everything while limiting their sight.
Ronald and the other two stopped here, and all the problems followed.
What is this kind of thing?
What kind of danger will there be if you go in rashly?
More importantly, are these powders the product caused by the mother in the mouth of the tree spirit?
