Inside the cave, the blonde girl looked at Roja before him and stopped talking for several times, and finally showed a determined expression, and the black-haired boy couldn't help his face becoming serious after hearing Noelle's words.
When Noelle told Luo Yaqi's time in the historical segment last night, the black-haired teenager was very concerned about one thing, and that was what happened during the year.
Leaving aside the fact that the Acate collar was under attack when Roja left, Roja was particularly concerned about the war between aliens and humans. After all, Roja’s father, Kadia, was on the front line at the time, and the humans had already planned for the spring. The offensive plan.
How is the plan progressing and whether the people around me are doing well this year? Such questions and concerns naturally appeared in Roya's heart. However, for these, because of the hasty battle last night, Roya has not had time to ask. Noelle has never explained.
But now, seeing the expression of His Royal Highness, Roja had some bad premonitions in his heart, and as confirmed this point, Noelle also told the truth.
"Roya, don't worry about the Acate consul. After that attack, the Acate consul has become the key area of the mission. It has been very peaceful for the past year, but... the Acate's family The situation is not very good, you need to do some psychological preparation before listening."
"Hey?"
Hearing Noelle's words, Roja's expression couldn't help but change. He blinked and his expression became stiff, as if he hadn't heard the girl's words clearly, and he didn't seem to want to understand everything Noelle said.
Worries and fears began to grow in the heart, making Luo Ya do not know how to react for a while, but seemed to have expected the emotional changes of the teenager. The blond girl had a distressed expression on her face. She touched Roya's cheek with her hands and spoke softly. road:
"Roja, calm down and listen to me. In the last battle of last year, Uncle Katia was seriously injured in the battle with the enemy's king of races. He is currently undergoing territorial training."
"Seriously injured? What the hell is...and what's the matter with the king of race?".
Kadia is a source level 2. Although it is strong and has rich combat experience, it is not possible to break through. It is not necessary to defend in the Tuck Fortress. It is theoretically impossible to compete with the source level 1 talent of aliens. Yes, and seems to understand Roja's question, Noelle also made a supplementary explanation.
"In the year after you left, it seems to be the influence of the savior's recovery. The power of aliens has begun to increase as never before. One of the most obvious points is that the number of remote priests has begun to increase."
"!"
Thinking of the burning clouds above the alien army formation last night, the black-haired boy couldn't help but see clearly, and Noelle nodded in affirmation.
"Yes, it was the priests last night. It was not an isolated phenomenon, but the general organization of the East Territory Alien Army. As a result, the defensive war began to become more and more unfavorable. Since the second half of last year, the mankind’s policy has been changed to a combination of offense and defense. Uncle Katia was with Grandpa in the largest battle of Stallow..."
"!"
When Noelle spoke here, there was a cry in his calm voice, and Luo Ya's eyes widened slightly.
"Noelle?"
"... ... nothing."
The princess lowered her head and closed her eyes, saying so, suppressing all the emotions in her heart, and then raised her head and said again:
"Uncle Cardia and Grandpa joined forces to kill a giant alien of Source Level 1. Both of them were seriously injured. The army of the Church also suffered heavy losses. Very, many people are...Woo!"
"..."
Looking at the girl who recalled that battle, she was unable to hide her grief due to the deaths and injuries of many relatives and friends. After a moment of silence, Roja took the initiative to reach out and hugged her in her arms, while Her Royal Highness grabbed the boy’s chest and bit her Tooth sobbed.
Noelle’s duality, this is what the childhood sweetheart Roya knew since childhood. The former princess must be majestic and must not be weak in the face of the enemy. However, the flesh and blood human beings face many life and death and serious injuries to their loved ones. How can it be indifferent
Psychological pain has been accumulated for a long time, and after seeing Roja, I can’t control it. Young people like to see this situation. On the one hand, this means Roja can rely on a person who can be completely trusted in Noelle’s heart. On the other hand, if this kind of emotional accumulation is too long, it is likely to cause psychological problems.
The boy hugging Noelle thought so much that he could vent more, but unfortunately, the princess did not wait much. After crying a few times, the girl raised her head, as if there was something else she had to tell Luo. The matter of Ya, the voice went on to explain it hoarsely.
"You already know the situation of Uncle Cardia and Grandpa, but... I want to say more than that, Roja, you must calm down on the next thing and listen to me."
"Huh? Noelle?"
Looking at the blond girl with a worried expression in front of him, Roja's golden eyes widened, and a bad premonition suddenly emerged in his heart. When he saw such a young man, Noelle's expression also became very heavy, and he considered it for a moment. Finally gritted his teeth and said the news that Roja absolutely couldn't accept.
"Alyssa is missing."
"Hey?"
At the moment when he heard the news, the black-haired boy froze his face, his body was stiff, and he stopped for a moment like an old man with poor ears. He blinked, as if he could not understand the sentence, until Noelle faced. Lu turned her cheeks distressedly, and Luo Ya only regained her senses.
"Alyssa, is missing? How is it possible?"
"...Roja."
The youth who said this changed his face and couldn't help but grabbed Noelle's shoulder and asked in a hurry:
"Alyssa is missing? She was already at source level 3 when I left! Even better than source level 2 at night, how could she go missing? And last year, Alysa was just an adult, how could you let her go to the battlefield!?"
"No, it's not a battlefield! You misunderstood Roja."
"no?"
"Well, after you disappeared, there is only Alisha in the Akate family, and she is still so young, how can we let her go to the battlefield?"
"Well, what is that..."
"She disappeared by herself."
"..."
Looking at Noelle who said this, the black-haired boy lost his words for a while. Her Royal Highness sighed when she saw this, and she sorted out her language and continued:
"Your disappearance a year ago was not only affected by various connections, but also caused a great blow to us at that time, especially Alyssa in Acate City and Charlotte who arrived the next day."
"After that we have been searching for your whereabouts, but as Wilhelmina spread the news that you entered the historical fragment, and time passed day by day, those of us who had entered the historical fragment with you began to despair, but Eliza never believed it."
"Alyssa insisted on leaving Akat to look for you, but Uncle Katia never agreed. Until six months ago, she suddenly disappeared when she went to the area where you disappeared again, leaving no clue. No news at all."
"..."
Hearing Noelle's account, the black-haired boy fell into silence. He took two steps back, covering his forehead and breathing, but there was no dull brain between life and death, but it was blank at this time.
Elisa, this can be said to be Roja’s most caring and beloved sister since childhood, and the girl who spent the longest time with the teenager. The relationship between the two of them has even surpassed family love, and is not at home all the time. Compared to Kadia, Alisha, who is not related by blood, is more like his family to some extent.
For Roja, after facing this cruel world and fighting all kinds of enemies with bruises and bruises, as long as he sees the girl’s smile the moment he returns home is a kind of salvation, but now, that is called home. There was no girl in the building.
This result was completely unacceptable to Roja, but how to solve this situation was a time for the black-haired boy to start.
There must be a problem with Eliza's disappearance. This is something Roja can be sure of. The evidence is that after Kadia was injured, the girl still did not show up.
According to Noelle’s previous statement, the battle six months ago had a great impact, even if Roja’s father and Saint John were seriously injured as a result, the killing of the king of alien races was still hyped by the coalition army. Human behavior is also considered a feat.
Under this circumstance, people in the human world will almost certainly have heard of this, and if they know the news of Kardia’s injury, then Alisa will definitely go home. After all, for her, in Luo Kadia was the only relative after Ya disappeared.
"Is the movement restricted? Or not in the human world? Or is it..."
Can't come back anymore.
Thinking of this most terrifying possibility, the black-haired boy couldn't help shaking his body, and then grabbed his hair to force himself to calm down, but Noelle hurriedly took a step forward, grabbing the boy's arm and persuading him.
"Roja, calm down, don't think about it, there may not be anything wrong with Alisha."
"Huh? Why? Is there any basis?"
"There is no basis for it, but... In the first half of last year, her strength improved by leaps and bounds, and she should have reached Source Level 2 before she disappeared."
"Source Level 2?"
Hearing Noelle's explanation, Roja blinked and couldn't believe the news for a while. After all, when he left, the silver-haired girl should have only been promoted to Source Level 3 not long ago, but in this historical fragment. After getting the information, the black-haired boy calmed down again.
Yes, if Alyssa is really related to the Black Moon, then the problem of rapid strength growth for so long is not a big deal, but in that case, what is the reason...
"Wait, Noelle, you said that Alisa disappeared in the area where I entered the historical fragment, then... Could it be [Hidden Mist]?"
"We might have thought about this, but we don’t know much about the [Six Plagues]. Because of the war in the east, the manpower to investigate [Hidden Mist] has been reduced a lot, and we have not been able to figure out its trends. ... ... "
"...That's it."
Looking at Noelle with a guilty expression, the black-haired boy didn't say much after a moment of silence. After all, unlike the blonde girl's imagination, Luo Ya now very much hopes to take away Alisa is [Hidden Mist].
Judging from the relationship between Alyssa and the mother goddess, [Hidden Mist] may not hurt Alyssa. On the contrary, if it is the interference of other powers, Alyssa will be dangerous. Among them, it is the [collector] who worries the young man the most. Believers of the representative savior.
The antagonism between the savior and the mother god is well known. Although they had shown no interest in Alisa before, if the identity of the girl is exposed for some reason, then it is not impossible for them to do it.
The young man thinking about this has a dignified face, but before he can figure out a solution, he suddenly starts to feel dizzy. Fortunately, Noelle, who has been carefully observing Roja's situation, noticed the strangeness of the young man, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him. stable.
"Roja!"
"... It's okay, just a little dizzy, I'll go over there and take a rest."
"..."
Hearing such remarks from the young man, Noelle was unbearable for a while, his father was seriously injured, and his sister was missing. Such a shock came suddenly. It is normal for ordinary people to be unbearable, but Noelle still said these things. Come out because she feels that Roja is not in this list.
No matter how difficult the situation is in the past, Roja has never been helpless. Although this situation involves his family, it is the softest place in his heart, but if it is Roja, Noelle thinks he can survive. This is difficult.
Time passed by, and the black-haired boy fell into contemplation alone against the wall. After a long time, he sighed and his expression gradually became firm. When he saw such a boy, Noelle's eyes brightened.
"Roya... are you better?"
"Well, I almost calm down, sorry, Noelle."
"No, nothing, so... Do you have any ideas?"
"There are many ideas, but... the first thing to do is to leave this alien area."
Looking at the entrance of the cave, the black-haired boy showed a solemn expression. Although Alisha's situation made him very worried, Kadia's injury also made Roya concerned, but the reality is that he may not be able to interact with other people. It was Roja himself who met.
After the escape last night, although Roja broke out of the encirclement, Roja is farther away from the human world. Facing the King of Alien people who transcends the King of Races, Roja is not sure of winning even if he recovers his strength. And most importantly, Noelle's protection has a time limit.
"Noel, how long can the saint's short blade last your projection?"
"Probably, by tomorrow..."
"..."
"More importantly, no one knows where you are, and it is impossible to open a breakthrough from the front line to meet you. It is difficult for you to pass through the alien control zone in your current state, and continue like this..."
Having said this, Noelle clenched his fists, unable to conceal his worries, while Luo Ya pursed his mouth and fell into silence.
It has to be said that even after experiencing so many dangers, the current situation is extremely bad for Roja, but only the determination to live is something that a teenager has and will persist in any situation, especially in After learning about these things.
Be sure to go back as soon as possible to find out the matter.
Looking at the dim light at the entrance of the cave, the black-haired boy thought so and fell into contemplation.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------
The black-haired boy was thinking about the way to rush out of the shackles in the depths of the plain, while in the distant Tuck Fortress, Noel's situation had attracted the attention of the Holy See.
In the command room in the center of the fortress, the body of the blond girl was shrouded in a holy light, and at the periphery of the light were groups of priests and curses used for emergency contact.
As the most important commander in the East, Noelle's every move is related to the lives of many soldiers in the Holy Land. Now that his body cannot act, he naturally needs protection, and when he loses consciousness, many members of the Holy See also The decision-making power of important matters had to be handed back to the headquarters of the Holy See.
In the floating images in the room, the white-haired old man looked at the girl's figure silently, and in the silence of Saint John, the entire room was silent.
After arduous battles and successfully killed the giant aliens of Source Level 1, Saint John’s prestige further increased, but the serious injuries caused by this made the old man’s appearance a little older, but even gray-haired , Holy See John’s eyes gleaming with wisdom did not change.
At this time, the old man was observing Noelle in a coma, looking at the familiar mantra power, with emotion in his heart. This kind of mantra power fluctuation John had seen with his own eyes, it was exactly the scene in the palace where the old man was in a few years ago. , But now it reappears, but it has many meanings.
The child came back. This was John's first reaction when he saw this scene, and he was relieved with a sigh of relief.
Over the past year, too many things have changed because of Roja’s disappearance. The biggest of them is the old man’s baby granddaughter. Although Noelle has never shown anything in public, but in the silence, John I've seen her secretly wiping tears more than once.
His father was killed in battle and his grandfather was seriously injured. This situation pushed Noelle to the forefront, but John knew that the girl would not be able to hold it any longer. Fortunately, after the boy came back, a new pillar appeared, and everything was hopeful.
However, based on the current situation, things do not seem to be optimistic.
"Have you found the location of the sacred implement?"
"This, Lord Holy See, the holy thing seems to be interfered by some powerful force, and can only lock in the general direction."
"Interference... where are they now."
"...East, southeast."
"..."
When the priest of the Saint Artifact Yard was silent for a moment and said this direction, there was a weird silence on the scene, and the pale face of Saint John on the opposite side of the image instantly became dignified, and the reason was very simple.
Everyone here knows where is the east side of Tuck Fortress, and when it comes to interfering with the power of the sacred weapon, many people already have guesses in their hearts.
Since last year, a powerful breath has covered the entire Tucker Plain, which is as fearsome as an ancient god. After that, a large number of priests began to appear in the army of aliens, thus turning the war against mankind. The direction is getting farther and farther.
Regarding this situation, even the human coalition, which has experienced four times of alien invasions to the west, has never seen it. However, after researching, both the Holy See and the country of scholars have come to a similar conclusion, that is aliens. The supreme ruler woke up from his deep sleep.
In the room, many priests fell silent, because a question posed in front of Holy See John at this time, that is, whether to save people.
The skills of the sacred artifacts will not last long, and Noelle will return sooner or later, but the person who activates the sacred artifacts is still in the vast plain. He only knows the direction and does not know the specific location and goes deep into the plain, trying to rescue Roja. The success rate is not only extremely low, it will also pay a huge price, and more importantly, this may be a trap.
Saint John left the front line, in fact, not only because of the better treatment conditions at the Holy See, but also because humans are hiding the whereabouts of the kings of races, protecting Source Level 1 to avoid being targeted by that terrifying existence.
Under this circumstance, entering the Tucker Plain is tantamount to entering the tiger's mouth, which is equivalent to actively entering its home court. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the enemy, and it is also a gamble for life.
Taking the lives of a human source level 1 and many soldiers as a bet to save Roja, the first man of the golden generation, is such an action worth it? I'm afraid no one can answer this question.
A long silence fell in the room. Saint John watched the unconscious girl with his eyes, and he remained motionless. After a long time, the white-haired old man let out a sigh.
"This moment has come after all, but it's okay, maybe this is the most suitable opportunity."
The Holy See, John who said this, turned off the communication. He sat on the throne and silently picked up the pen and paper and began to write a letter.
Because of a certain person and a country, John did not want to disclose any information before the operation began, so he temporarily blocked Noelle's call to the sacred vessel, but the white-haired old man probably did not expect the appearance of Roja. It has long been known before this.
All over the knight's castle, the old man standing with a sword stood in front of the throne, and in front of him was the grandduke's daughter Teresa who suddenly rushed back from the front line and panicked.
Looking at the pink-haired girl who came suddenly without an announcement and waved everyone out after seeing Friedrich, the old man's face was puzzled, but Teresa ignored the doubts of the King of Swords. , But immediately took out the notebook tremblingly and wrote a line of text.
[Minna said last night that she sensed something, and then suddenly left and entered the plain, alone! 】
"!"
Looking at the notebook in the hand of Teresa, who was extremely anxious, the white-haired old man was taken aback for a moment, and his breath suddenly became serious.
