Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth outside the city
"Oh, why did things become like this..."
Ravens, who was walking in the sandstorm relying on the streamer barrier, sighed. Even though he was unwilling in every possible way, he was finally forced to accept the task of bringing back Tedder.
I really can't understand why a security bureau has so much money? And not only that, why is there such an extremely rare card as 'Black Mist Executor*'? More importantly, I happen to have it right now.
There is a lack of such a card...who told them?
But at this point, it was not once or twice that he accepted difficult tasks for a rare card. Ravens had no choice but to put these troublesome things behind him, and then came all the way to the gate of the North District.
.
"The smell of blood is so strong. There was indeed a fierce fight ahead..." Ravens shook his nose, sensitively catching the blood mixed in the dust, and subconsciously pulled out the long sword behind him,
Walking around the corpses half-buried by the dust on the ground, he walked towards the wall towers on both sides of the city gate.
Although Tedder was not dignified at all on weekdays, Ravens could see that he was not a civilian without combat capabilities, and it should be impossible for him to die in a place like this.
According to the people in the Security Bureau, the core of oppression is on the right wall tower. And now it seems that the most severely damaged is the right wall tower... Compared with the left wall tower,
Half of it has been 'amputated', it can be said to have been cut in half, and the remaining half has become shaky and may collapse at any time.
"It seems that this is the main attack area of the sand people. The damage is so serious." Ravens looked at the half-collapsed tower and shuddered, but just in case, Ravens
Still decided to go in and have a look.
Without pushing the door open, Ravens walked directly past a hole in the wall and came to the inside of the wall tower.
As expected, the inside of the wall tower has become riddled with holes, but because of the raging wind and sand outside, it is still dark inside. If someone wants to ambush here, it will be difficult for Ravens to ensure that he will not be attacked.
But the fact is that I am overthinking it. No one wants to ambush a blind man or idiot in such a tower that can collapse at any time. Moreover, due to the serious damage, the stairs leading to the second floor have also been damaged.
After taking a quick look, I saw that the degree of damage there was no less than that on the first floor.
"Huh? This is..." After digging through some safer debris, Ravens finally made some discoveries.
In the triangular space formed by the collapsed wall and the table, a pair of somewhat familiar and rather poor shoes lay there. It seemed that someone had deliberately taken them off and put them in place, and judging from the stone fragments in the shoes, they were still
Before the tower was severely damaged.
"These must be Tedder's shoes, but why did he take them off? But..." Ravens shrugged indifferently, but now that he has obtained a piece of his personal belongings, and
It's still the type with a "pretty strong smell", so it shouldn't be that far away from finding him.
Ravens breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated for a while, and finally plucked up the courage to slowly bring the shoes closer to his nose... As a strong breath blasted into his nasal cavity, Ravens' face immediately changed.
Twisted into a ball. Although according to normal people, such shoes may not be very smelly, but for a witcher like Ravens, deliberately bringing a pair of shoes that someone has worn to his nose,
It's just like someone putting their toes directly into their nostrils.
But thanks to this intense smell, after a while, after the smell in front of his nostrils dissipated, Ravens finally caught the same breath in the surrounding air, and judging from the spread of the breath,
Look, this leads to the outside of the city...and mixed with it, there is also the smell of carnivorous beasts.
It is impossible that he was taken away by the desert wolf after being unconscious... But speaking of it, there is indeed a girl around him who often hangs out with the desert wolf, and he has never seen her in the security station.
It's possible that she was the one who picked up Tedder.
As for why we went outside the city, the sandstorm in the city was so big that it was not impossible to take the risk of taking refuge outside... although there might be sand people ambush outside.
"But who told me that my mission is to bring him back..." Ravens sighed, shook his head, carefully leaned against the city wall, and walked towards the desert outside the city.
Not long after following the smell and exiting the city wall, Ravens' eyes suddenly opened up, and everything returned to its usual sunny and windy state... Although it was almost evening now, for him, he was already in the sandstorm circle.
For those who stayed there for two days, it was indeed a beautiful and sunny day.
Thinking of this, Ravens couldn't help but look back at the current Fit City. At a glance, this huge sandstorm almost formed a gray-yellow pillar, including the entire Fit City, and there were countless
Ten meters high, just looking at it makes people feel extremely terrifying.
However, after leaving the sandstorm circle, the surrounding atmosphere became clearer. Not only was there the smell of Tedder's feet, but also a very strong smell of sand people. It was concentrated in the direction of the broken city wall. It seemed that the area was nearby.
Their base camp.
But the good news is that the smell of Tedder and the wolf girl did not spread that way, but somewhere deep in the desert, and because the breath became clearer, Ravens also smelled the smell mixed in it.
The mixed smell of blood must be that one of them is injured. But this is a desert, and it gets extremely cold at night, which is not very friendly to the injured.
Thinking of this, Ravens could only sigh and follow the smell to the depths of the desert for his own reward.
As the smell became clearer and clearer, a desert rock mountain slowly appeared in front of Ravens' eyes. And he could see a beast with sandy-yellow fur standing on the top of the rock mountain, looking at him warily.
, and when he got close enough, he immediately ran into the rock mountain.
"It looks like this should be a desert wolf's lair. I hope nothing happens to Tadel...at least he won't turn into desert wolf feces all over his body, otherwise I won't be able to do my job..." Ravens shook his head.
, took out the long sword from his back, and slowly climbed to the top of the mountain along a rugged path in the rocky mountain.
