But Gal didn't go back, he just walked to the position where he was supposed to change shifts after being stunned for a while.
Then he seemed to have adjusted his emotions in just a dozen or so short steps, turned around, and shouted at Carlos amidst the noisy roar of animals: "Really? But I can guarantee that I will at least Looks more handsome than him!"
This excellent gold medal stood in the open air, and through those overlapping circles, thick black air and blood mist, he could see through the entire jagged Juying Mountain at a glance.
His heart suddenly seemed to be opened wide, and it was blown bigger by the wind of the cold night, so big that it could accommodate rivers, mountains and rivers, and all kinds of things.
Even if it is destined not to get it, so what, Gal thought, I am always very important, in my dearest brothers, relatives, friends and... in my heart.
Carlos made a "go back" gesture to him from a distance, but Gal turned sideways, his almost blond hair was stained with the dust on the road, the light haze in his brows seemed to suddenly open , almost revealing a bit of vitality suitable for his age, like the dawn that bloomed at the moment when the darkness was torn apart.
"No, rather than lying in that stupid tent," Gal said loudly, "I'd rather chat with you here, find material, and maybe finish my first novel when I go back."
"It's amazing," Carlos shrugged, jokingly said, "But I don't have much confidence—you know, since I remember, there has never been a person who can write a book in the Fraret family. Most of them are only good at management. Territories and wars."
"Of course, if you can't sell it, you have to convince Lord Aldo to buy several hundred copies for me," Gal laughed. "Who made us family?"
"Then did I take advantage of it?" Carlos asked happily.
"Don't put gold on your face, you are just a lobbyist," Galton paused, and then gave a precise definition to his glorious and proud ancestor, "poor ghost."
And Louis, who was about to change shifts and go back, didn't move. He turned his back to Carlos and the others, and stood almost close to the edge of the circle. The three of them almost formed a triangle. In the middle of the tragic war, each remained motionless.
Amy had moved his legs to go back to the tent, but she stopped and walked back to Louis.
Louis' face was a little pale reflected by the flickering light of the magic circle and the filthy mist, but his black hair was hanging on his forehead in strands, even though his hand was pressing on the handle of the scimitar attached to his waist , still has a deep-rooted bookish look on his body, like a handsome and noble son.
"Go to the tent, Healer Berg," Louie said in a low voice, with just a glance at him, "though I know it's tough—you have limited field opportunities and don't have the stamina of a hunter, and I hope you'll appreciate it." Get ready for tomorrow's itinerary."
Amy froze for a moment, then said "oh", sat down on a rock at his feet, threw the antiemetic that numbs the sense of smell into her mouth like a jelly bean, and slowly sucked it—like that thing It's not bitter at all.
"Louis, Louie," he stretched his legs, sighed, and smiled wryly, "Have you finally figured out how to deal with me? If you kept frowning, with a 'you're disgusting' expression Facing me, I will keep teasing you, but when you are like this, I am so embarrassed that I can hardly even speak a complete sentence."
Louis put his eyes on it calmly, and said lightly: "You are not disgusting."
"If I'm not disgusting, why don't you think about me?" Amy looked up at him.
Louis froze for a moment, and finally turned his eyes back, and landed on Amy—except at work, he had never seen such a serious look on the face of this incomprehensible therapist. Amy seemed a little nervous, fingers It was tightly twisted into the clothes, and although there was a smile on the face, it looked so stiff that even the lips were white.
"Who are you… "
"I mean it," said Amy, quickly ahead of him.
Louis hesitated for a while, then cautiously replied with a standard: "Sorry, Mr. Berg, although I am very grateful to you, but I am heterosexual."
Amy laughed, and then he asked softly, "So, have you ever been in love with someone of the opposite sex? Mister Straight?"
Instructor Louie Meguert had always been a fearsome academic - even during his years as a hunter in the field.
His good friend Gal once made a mockery of his living conditions as follows: This guy is a man who can be buried with old papers, and if he was born a few hundred years earlier, he could even join a religion that eats vegetarians and studies scriptures. Pity the apprentices in the temple who need to make a living under him, think about it, a man who scoffed at the behavior of friends huddling together to watch pornographic movies and magazines in adolescence, and stubbornly refused to fit in, that must be a man Born perverted it!
Louis was speechless for a moment, then he nodded calmly and said, "Not many, but there are. I don't think you're interested in knowing their names."
Amy: "It doesn't matter, I can wait for you to make it up."
Louie: "..."
His brows are rarely tangled. When Instructor Meiguert was not an instructor, a large group of little girls secretly coveted him because of his handsome looks, but this guy is really incomprehensible. Just keep eating, add a sorry card to the return of the love letter, and no one has ever pestered him like this—as if the other party is not controlled by the hormones in the body to do stupid things, but really... as praised in novels and songs Love is the same, it must be oneself.
"What do I like? It's boring and boring, and I don't like talking." Louis thought for a moment in a daze.
"I… "
He just said this word, at this moment, the magic circle around him suddenly made a violent explosion sound, and a string of flames rushed into the sky like fireworks, it was already late at night, and Difu's corpse spread across the mountains and plains Yes, and these beasts who are still arguing are finally in a hurry.
Dark creatures, even though they can move in daylight, will weaken part of their combat power after all, and night is the eternal battlefield.
Louis pushed Amy away: "Non-combatants back off and get out of here!"
Amy was pushed back by him, and saw the huge head of an abyss jackal squeezed into the circle, but before Louis' knife could be unsheathed, the circle, which was originally just a warning, broke out. The powerful force cut off the entire head of the abyss jackal, and then it quickly returned to the size of an ordinary jackal, and was dragged out and eaten by something.
Amy numbly reached out to wipe away the blood splattered on her face, and heard Louis say to him without looking back: "Wake up everyone immediately and tell them to prepare to fight, up to fifteen minutes... No, I ask them to fight." Set up within ten minutes, bring your own weapons, and get ready back to back around the circle, hurry up, don't dawdle!"
Amy took a deep look at him and strode towards the tent.
Carlos looked at Louis commanding, did not interrupt, just stood still and gently moved the wrist holding the sword, but Aldo did not know when he walked behind him.
"You asked Evan to draw the magic circle on purpose." Carlos asked softly, "If you drew the magic circle, unless there is another evil spirit, you will definitely be able to sleep peacefully tonight."
"You taught them a way to deal with a large area of difu, but you didn't teach them how to choose this place. This sense of smell and touch can only be understood by yourself. In addition, Mr. Evan Gorado There is indeed some talent in the magic circle, careful and clear thinking, better than some people." Aldo whispered, his eyes softly said softly, "Don't worry, I brought these children out, I will take them A lot of places were brought back."
He was no longer the young man who had just taken over the temple and was helpless in the face of huge casualties. He had led more and more intense wars, and his grasp of every terrain and every battle was almost precise.
Louis seemed to be commanding, but couldn't help but look back at Aldo at this moment, and found that the respectable senior nodded slightly to him, and his heart seemed to be suddenly settled down.
Because this man is always so firm and calm, when he stands behind, people have the illusion that even if the sky falls, he can carry it on one shoulder.
Carlos frowned slightly, and he suddenly said without thinking: "I seem to have missed something."
It was rare for Aldo not to follow his train of thought, and asked back, "Huh?"
Carlos glanced at him sideways, but didn't speak, just raised his hand and gathered his collar - thinking with some discomfort in his heart: "During those years when I was wandering, fleeing, staying away, wandering, and didn't know where to go, you It seems that it has slowly changed its appearance... It has become an appearance that no longer needs my protection."
The sweet words and vows that seemed to have been said casually when I was young suddenly emerged, and Carlos's brows drooped slightly, as if there was some sadness.
"I have never been a worthy and loyal knight," he thought, "not brave, nor reliable, maybe... just try to be as consistent as possible? But the little prince who has grown solid, strong wings, he still Do you need me to be consistent?"
However, he didn't have more time to mourn the spring and autumn, and the fifteen minutes were up, and the magic circle broke.
The evil spirit man with only one-tenth of his body left, the dark elves who suddenly appeared in the darkness and then disappeared suddenly, the shadow demons and the abyss jackals that followed one after another, all surrounded by the fledgling monsters covered in holy light. Hunters around.
The last layer of protective circle was torn, and the oppressive feeling from the darkness was overwhelming, and there was something palpitating in the air—that was the trembling feeling from the soul when the prey realized that it was being watched by the hunter.
"Please pay attention to the front of yourselves carefully, because that is the position of your friend's back." Louis' voice sounded in the cold wind, as if frozen hard by the severe cold, he took a deep breath , then turned into a white mist and spit it out, raised his head and said to Carlos, "If you can support outside the formation."
"My pleasure." Carlos put his hand on his shoulder.
"Fifteen minutes." Aldo interrupted suddenly, "You just need to hold on for fifteen minutes. After the buffer period passes, the second magic circle will activate. Don't worry."
No one saw when Aldo drew the second magic circle and where it was drawn, but no one doubted his words.
It started when Garr's thorn of dawn pierced the throat of the abyss jackal, when Louis gave an order, and when Carlos' epee blade, which could hardly see the light of the knife, blocked a shadow demon that came down on his head for Evan. .
The hunters, coveted by those stupid beasts for a long time, showed their fangs that had been hidden for a thousand years.
Even the gentlest people will be aroused in this life-and-death place where the most instinctive blood in life is like a burning fire in the soul, just like the wolf and the sick wolf in the wilderness described by Jack London Men who are confronting, just hold the weapon in your hand... Just hold the weapon in your hand.
Is it fifteen minutes
almost
Just hold on a little longer...
Maybe they later recalled that this was the longest fifteen minutes in their lives. With the heat of murderous intent.
Then, the long-lost light suddenly lit up, lighting up the entire night sky in an instant. Carlos suddenly lowered his arms and chopped off the head of an abyss jackal.
Difu on the outer circle of the magic circle wailed and retreated.
The battle... seems to be over.
I don't know who, suddenly burst into hysterical crying—maybe he himself didn't know why he was crying, he didn't feel sad, and he didn't feel much fear, he just cried loudly.
Always distracted from directing, paying attention to everyone's situation, constantly calling for replacements, and taking care of all directions, Louis' knees suddenly softened, and he knelt down directly, only to find that his limbs were almost numb to the point of unconsciousness. Mei rushed up and hugged him, hurriedly wiped off the blood on his face, and finally came to the conclusion that Louis was just out of strength, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his arms, and hugged him tightly In my arms, I closed my eyes, as if I was praying for something.
"He directed a perfect battle." Aldo watched from a distance, and said to Evan who was paralyzed at his feet.
Evan looked up at him puzzled.
"There is no second magic circle." Aldo explained softly, "Did you always have doubts when you drew the magic circle?"
"I didn't find the trigger point. There are a few places that are similar, but then I found out that they are not." Evan said hesitantly.
"There is no trigger point, you are better than I imagined," Aldo glanced at him, "The one you drew is not a realm magic circle, it is actually the prototype of the enchantment—of course the real enchantment needs It's much more complicated, but the basics are there."
Evan opened his mouth stupidly.
"Its real trigger condition is enough dark energy—that is, you can kill enough dirot corpses." Aldo pressed heavily on Evan's shoulder, "Are you no longer dizzy? Well, no one should be born a piece of shit."
The night will finally pass, and the dawn will always illuminate the white snow on Jueying Mountain.
