"My companions and I are just travelers, and the Kingdom of Zegus is not the end of our journey."
While Heidi was playing with the wild flowers picked from the ground, she chatted and laughed with Oluffy as if she had met an old friend who spoke very speculative words: "Companion~ Is he a trustworthy companion?"
"It's worth entrusting my back to their companions." Olufi said firmly.
"so good."
Looking up at the sky, Heidi seemed to have remembered something sad, a hint of haze flashed in her smart eyes.
But soon the girl started chatting with Olufi again with a warm smile: "Mr. Olufi, there is a rumor in the convoy that you and your companions have fought against hundreds of undead with just five people. Is this true? "
“┉┉┉┉”
After a brief silence, Olufi finally nodded. There was no need to hide the matter since it had been spread out. After his group joined the convoy, the news spread all over the sky. There were many people who were unhappy along the way. People who knew his background came to inquire and try to win over his group.
Heidi stared at Oluffi, still looking like he was hesitant to speak. For a moment, Heidi finally didn't speak.
"Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Oluffy." Heidi stood up gently and bowed gracefully before slowly retreating.
Olufi was soon left alone by the lake again. After Heidi's figure completely disappeared into the darkness, Olufi put down the lyre in his hand and looked at the dark forest beside him.
"That girl is gone, there is no need to continue hiding somewhere."
A black shadow in the forest seemed to materialize from the darkness. Under the night sky, the blond-haired and golden-eyed Peenlius came out, looked at the other side of the lake, and looked deeply at Orpheus. , seemed not to care at all about his eavesdropping behavior.
After a moment, Pernleus spoke: "A girl who lives with a mask┉┉"
"I know." Olphi replied calmly.
Heidi is not an ordinary girl, and her temperament is not what an innocent sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl should have. It was tempered in the storm and full of caution, temptation, and a little uneasiness. In terms of character, girls always need to wear a mask to deal with the people and things around them.
"But you didn't notice. She has two masks on her."
"Two!?"
Peenleus nodded wordlessly as if he didn't want to say more, and then looked into the distance, as if he could see Heidi walking away in the dark night: "Her soul is covered with blood. The taste longs for peace but has no choice but to seize every opportunity to continue to become more sharp and soaked in more blood."
Regarding these words, Orpheus did not think that Peenlius was just guessing. The man in front of him had a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. The girl named Heidi was indeed far more mature than her peers in terms of mentality. , but from beginning to end, she was just a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. The hands of a child of this age were actually covered in blood!
"That girl probably also wanted to try to win over you and your companions. But it seems she gave up."
"It's useless even if she doesn't give up. We still have important things to do and we can't stay here for long."
"What if what she faced was helped by the power of 'justice'?" Pernrius suddenly bit the word justice tightly.
Olufi replied without hesitation: "Then she should first seek help from city officials or even the Holy Capital, instead of finding a group of outsiders who have the power to arbitrarily uphold justice."
Peenlius gave a rare nod: "Your attitude is very interesting, it is different from those of your companions."
"Perhaps some of my companions are too emotional, but I think it is more important to formulate complete laws and regulations than to solve everything with violence. Otherwise, even if it is to safeguard justice, there will be no legal restrictions in this world. Sooner or later, it will become a barbaric nature where everything is defined by the law of the jungle."
"Perfect laws and regulations require time to be completed. What if we can't do it now? What if there are forces involved that transcend the world and are not restricted by laws and regulations?"
Olphi stood up and looked directly at Peenlius: "Then I will not sit idly by and ignore it."
Under the night sky, Peenlius could feel the firm will emanating from the heart of the handsome young man in front of him. These five people are all such interesting human beings. Maybe you can change your journey a little bit. Follow them to see if this unnecessary courage and determination can give you the answer you want.
At this moment, Olufi suddenly noticed traces of white mist starting to rise from the ground around him, and the surrounding scenery began to become a little blurry because of the rising mist.
"It's getting foggy?"
Oluffy looked around with some doubts. The mist was rising too fast.
For a moment, Pernleus stared at the lake, with a strange arc at the corner of his mouth, a mixture of sarcasm, contempt, and pity. Olphi followed Perenlius' gaze and discovered that the source of the fog actually came from the center of the lake. The center of the lake seemed to be a steamer with the plug removed. White mist is being emitted continuously.
"Then now show your courage and determination." At this point, Penleus turned around and walked towards the camp.
Oluffi saw it and hurriedly wanted to follow him back: "Wait a minute┉┉"
However, the surrounding fog became thicker and thicker. In just a few steps, Perenius' figure disappeared into it. It felt as if he was completely swallowed by the fog. The lights across the lake began to become increasingly blurry, and not only that, even the moonlight began to be blocked. The surrounding light began to become darker.
He took out a burning branch from the bonfire, but the light of the fire couldn't shine very far at all. It could even be said that the mist itself seemed to be absorbing the light.
This is definitely not normal!
Olphi put on the Lyra Silver Saint Cloth without hesitation and ran towards the other side of the lake. It was not a good situation to be alone at this time.
But after running a few steps, Oluffi found that the surroundings had become completely dark, and there were some trivial noises ringing from time to time. There were men and women, as if countless people were talking. Some were guiding Olufi on the way, while others were cursing that Olufi would be buried here. There were more and more voices praying, cursing, blessing, cursing, and speaking. More and more confusion.
"Who is it, show up!" Holding the lyre in his hand, Olufi tensed up his muscles and became alert.
In the darkness, Olufi's vision was greatly disturbed, and the countless sounds that sounded made his senses even more confused. Suddenly Olufi even felt that the ground seemed to be spinning and shaking. Where was he? It is impossible to tell where the direction is going.
All of a sudden Oluffi stopped. This power confused his senses. The enemy hiding in the shadows must be trying to mislead him. If he ran away blindly out of fear at this time, it would be playing into the enemy's hands.
"Hmm~My little universe┉┉"
Suddenly Oluffi discovered that these trivial noises even caused the small universe in his body to become chaotic, becoming very strong at one moment and very weak at the other.
He hurriedly covered his ears, but Olufi found that it was of no use. Those voices seemed to be ringing directly in his mind, and his thoughts seemed to be completely occupied by these voices.
clam down! I have to calm down!
Olufi let go of his hand. Since it was useless to cover his ears, he might as well stop covering his ears. He couldn't panic at this time. Although these sounds were interfering with his thinking, the enemy didn't seem to have launched an attack yet. At this time, he would If he messes up, he will be too disgraceful as a Silver Saint.
Oluffy was lying on the ground and touched the ground. It was still the grass next to the lake. Although he felt that the ground was spinning and changing due to the strange sound, he was actually still in the same place. The other party could use some kind of illusion to interfere. My five senses, but they cannot change reality.
