"she left… "
Delphine handed the banner to Brando and smiled bitterly. Brando took the piece of cloth, and saw that it was written in beautiful fonts: Thank you... four words, there was nothing more than that.
The little girl’s camp was already empty. Brando thought he hadn’t noticed when the other party left. It seemed that the other party could trek alone in the Tauchik swamp for such a long time. Just luck.
Maybe she should have some means to hide her whereabouts, or magical items, or a legacy left to them in vain, or a treasure of the Westfah family. I just don't know why she fell into the hands of the Yangshou Cultist. After all, it seems that the little girl is very vigilant and cautious.
Brando glanced at the extinguished bonfire and opened the tent. There was nothing in the tent. It seemed that she had at least taken the food. This discovery made him feel a little relieved.
"She shouldn't go far," Princess Magdal said with some worry: "If we look around, we may be able to find her. Even if she has hidden props on her body, it must not last for a long time, otherwise she will It won't fall into the hands of the sheep head cultists."
Brando put down the curtains of the tent, but shook his head: "We caught up with her, what can we do? If she is unwilling to accept our help, there is no point in us forcing her."
"Mr. Brando, but..."
"I am also very worried about her, Princess Magdal, but everyone must be responsible for their choices. I believe that the little girl understands what she is doing. Instead of you, would she be willing to accept alms from strangers?"
"But that's not charity, we just want to help her."
"Perhaps in her opinion, it is charity, because she can survive here without us," Brando glanced at the banner and replied: "She thanked us, but thanked us for saving her."
"But she is still so young." Magdal thought of the scene where the little girl named Ling was walking in the swamp with her bare feet, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and she even grabbed her heart: "This swamp is for adults. It's so dangerous to say, she will always get into trouble by herself, isn't she?"
"Don't worry," Brando put away the cloth strips and said: "She will go to Hadland, which is not far from here. She doesn't have to trek in the swamp for too long. I have a hunch, maybe we will still Met her."
Princess Magdal nodded, although there was still some worry on her face, she didn't speak anymore. She also understands the importance of this business, it is impossible to waste too much time looking for someone aimlessly in the swamp.
The sky is already dark, but Fang Qi has not yet appeared. Brando is a little worried, not afraid that the other party will fulfill his promise. After so many days of getting along with each other, he already knows that the genius of the ghost car has a bad personality, but at least he speaks. Must do, he is worried about what trouble the other party will encounter. Tauchik is on the civilized border of Madara close to the Dead Moon Inner Sea. This wetland swamp is actually a kind of alternative black forest. Nowadays, when the magic of chaos is becoming more and more powerful, no one can guarantee that it will be there. What happened here.
And Brando can be sure that the other party has more trouble than this one.
For this reason, he decided to go to the meeting point in advance. If Fang Qi hasn't appeared yet, then they really have to consider looking for a big living person in the swamp. It's just that this time it's not looking for a lonely little girl, but looking for a big man who can lose herself.
He asked Princess Magdal to go with Mr. Liu to help clean up the camp, and he walked around the camp. Although he didn't care about the half-elf girl, Brando subconsciously paid attention to the traces near the camp. What made him a little strange was that no footprints or similar leaving traces were found within a mile or two near the camp, which made him a little sigh at the powerful effect of the prop that could hide his whereabouts.
The tent was quickly dismantled. Brando did not let others deliberately remove the traces of shadows. He was not afraid that someone would catch up from Martaha's direction. To catch up was nothing more than to die. He didn't mind killing a few more. Sheep head believer.
What's more, it only took more than one day to travel from Martaha to Deharan. Under the blessing of magic, they might be faster. Those cultists who came from Martaha could only eat ashes behind them.
Everyone packed their bags, put on the sheep head robes that made them extremely uncomfortable, and continued to head south.
Until their figure disappeared in the mist of the swamp, I saw that in the solitary camp, the space in the half-opened tent suddenly twisted, and a small figure lifted a cloak from The figure was exposed in it.
She slowly stood up from the tent, quietly looking at the direction Brando and his party were leaving, her delicate face was as expressionless as before. After a while, she lowered her head and put her hands in the back pockets. The cap pulled up, covering a long silver hair and pointed ears, and finally revealed only a white chin.
She turned her head and glanced at her camp and the tent in silence, and then proceeded to dismantle the tent. First, she tied up the wooden sticks that supported the tent with canvas and ropes, tied it into a suitcase, and then lifted it up. It's a bit heavy. But she only hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and carried her bag on her back. Finally, she glanced at the camp, as if she was looking for anything worth taking away. Then she turned her head and saw a small figure with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Go to the depths of the swamp.
Brando and others obviously didn't guess that the little girl would still stay in the camp, or even if they did, they wouldn't look back easily. As he said, the little girl is obviously unwilling to stay and drag them down, so even if they find her, she will leave sooner or later, and even if she is forced to stay, it will only hurt the other's little self-esteem.
In fact, since the brief conversation last night, he has understood the inner thoughts of the little girl named Ling.
Although he may not agree, he knows how to respect this small self-esteem, because it is the precious thing left by the other party.
Thinking of that little girl, and then of Bai and Medissa, seriously speaking, what he saw in Ling was more of Medissa's shadow than their cunning mother. I don't know how Bai gave birth to such a daughter, or is this pride in his bones actually the nature of the silver elves
A group of people walked silently in the swamp. If they were still a little bit new to the surrounding environment when they first arrived here, but after the curiosity period, Tauchik is completely worthy of cursing with the worst language, because it is a mud The pond, a large pool of tidal water and cold, monotonous, boring, and full of danger.
The flooded grass is full of undead and bones that have fallen deep into it. From time to time, an ugly-looking ghoul with a foul-smelling foul-looking ghoul pounces with its teeth and claws, even if you cut it in half with a single sword, the corpse is scattered The liquid and maggots crawling in and out will also make you sick to spit out some of the remaining goods in your stomach bag and return it to the earth.
However, in the face of the battle, the two men took the initiative more consciously. Huang Huo tried to fight the ghoul several times, and then said that he would not take any more action. Although the little princess has a tough temper, she also has something to fear. Those maggots almost made her carry her breath away.
In addition to fighting, trekking in the swamp itself is also a troublesome thing, although among the few people, Mr. Liu and Huang Huo have the strength of elemental civilization, this little trouble is not a big deal to them. And since Princess Magdal's bloodline began to awaken, coupled with the blessing of the Book of the Earth, traveling in the swamp is not a difficult task.
In fact, the book of the earth is far from helping the nun princess. Earth magic has the most complete range of travel spells, such as striding, guiding the road, summoning bridges, ignoring terrain, etc., among them, ignoring terrain. It can even make people move forward unharmed in the lava zone, not to mention the mere swamp.
It’s just that Princess Magdal’s magic power is limited. Although there is no dragon’s heart, she cannot use too much power due to the lack of coordination of her mental power. At the moment, her magic is only enough for her to use. Although the nun and princess didn't say anything about it, secretly she was seizing the time to meditate and coordinate her mental powers, probably because she thought her magic could not help others in the adventure, which made her feel a little sad.
Brando had some understanding of the princess's earnest and kind character.
Among the few people, the most difficult one is the daughter of the prime minister who has been acting as if nothing has happened. Although Delphine was not very strong, he also learned magic and swordsmanship, but because of the contaminated fountain of life, these powers have been washed away, and he has become a completely ordinary person. Although Brando put her into the Dead Moon deck, because Mordefense and Andrrig were not here, there was no way to reset this card, so she still maintained the strength of the ordinary people before.
As Princess Magdal worries before, even ordinary adults traveling in this swamp is a very unthankful chore. There are no so-called roads in Gein Marsh. There are repulse bays and muddy fields everywhere. Once you walk in the mud and get deep into the mud, you still have aquatic plants. If you accidentally walk into the mud, if you don't have a companion to help you, you might even get in with your life.
