MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 55 First appearance
Gloria was waiting in the ruins of a small village not far from Zhuoliu Town. The original residents of this village, because of the close relationship, packed their families early and ran to Zhuoliu Town or farther away. And because they fled very early, the villagers were lucky enough to escape the danger of being infected. Therefore, even knowing that there is no one in this village, even the expedition squad headed to the Earl of Saron would not waste time detouring here. This was also the reason why Lyon recommended Gloria to this hiding place. After all, uninhabited houses are always much better than the cramped wilderness.
After knowing from the sobers that the native ratmen will not rush to attack themselves, Gloria is not afraid of being attacked by other ratmen here. This gave her time to think about what has happened recently, and if the plague is really suppressed, then what should she do. She did n’t expect the cheese to turn herself back into human beings. At this point, she had already asked Anina many times during the Grey Tower, and the answer was that the plague virus had completely changed in a short time. The physiological structure of the infected person, so even if the virus is removed, the infected person will not suddenly return to the original state like those cursed and transformed. And according to An Lina, cheese is not as specialized in diseases and creatures as she is. Although he can be regarded as proficient in this way, the part that the mage is really good at is not here.
At that time, out of curiosity, Gloria also asked Alina what the cheese was really good at, but Miss Vampire told her that as a mage, their research direction was extremely confidential. , So she could not reveal this to Gloria. Of course, the expression on her face when she said these words made Gloria feel that compared to the so-called confidential, the other party just found a reason not to tell her the professional field of cheese, and she still remembers that A word whispered.
"The things that he studies are usually difficult for people to understand."
What will make the lady who has been patiently explaining all kinds of things to Gloria, Gloria have no way of knowing. She only knows that Alina told her before she left that she should never look at what happened next when the color in the eyes of the cheese became chaotic. The color in the eyes becomes chaotic? Although he thought he knew the caster group better than ordinary people, the final admonishment of Alina still puzzled Gloria. Although she saw the light in his eyes when she cast a spell, the color of the light was pure and fleeting, so she still couldn't understand that sentence.
However, if Gloria could not understand it, Elsa seemed to understand now.
The picture returns to the building where the pharmacist resides in Zhuoliu Town, and the three people trapped on the second floor by the fire seem so powerless. Although I thought of jumping through the window to escape, the second floor of this building is smaller than the first floor. Jumping out of the window is just jumping into the fire from above. As for forcibly rushing out of the first floor, the staircase is located exactly at the center of the building. It is not possible to rush down the stairs and then reach the outside with the fire. Moreover, not to mention the gradual spread of the fire, it is still a question of how long this house, which is almost entirely composed of wooden structures, can last in the fire. Now the floor as a foothold is likely to collapse at any time.
In this situation, both the blood lion and the boss lady can only pin their hopes on the spell of the cheese. In fact, in the journey so far, whenever they encounter a problem that cannot be solved by common sense, The mage came forward to solve the problem in an incredible way. But this time, when they looked at the mage, the two found that the cheese looked at the tongue of fire that kept pouring from the stairwell, and his face was not good-looking. The expression on the face of the cheese is dignified, which is different from the calmness he often showed when he was in danger. The expression like the mage is telling others that he can't retreat from the fire.
For such a situation, the Cavaliers quickly calmed down. After all, Lyon experienced a lot of life and death moments, and he was always thinking about it. Sometimes he was thinking about why so many people better than him died in those times, and he But survived. But now, the blood lion has a hunch that perhaps he will not escape this time. But think about it another way, dying to save the kingdom in the plague is not an unacceptable method of death. As for the burial fire, perhaps the miserable death on the hospital bed is the more unacceptable destination for the knight.
"Hoo ... It's just a pity that you two. I don't count on losing my bones there, but you are still young." Shaking his head, the cavalier sat down against the wall.
Elsa tilted her head, and the increasing fire made the oxygen on the second floor thinner. At this point, let alone a breakthrough, it is very difficult for normal activities. Even if the three had retreated to the window, the thick smoke outside the window could not provide breathable air. Consciousness has gradually blurred. Perhaps this is the end, the boss lady thought so on the shoulders of the cheese. When she left Longji Mountain, she had the consciousness of being born and died with the cheese, but when death really came to her face, she found that she was not as calm as she had imagined. How many people can see through the fear of death? However, Elsa did not regret coming here with the cheese, as she said when she was in the camp of Tianshui Town. If this is the price of feelings for the Master, then she can accept it. It's just a pity that the cheese hasn't seemed to have any clear response to this.
Suddenly the boss lady turned her head to look at the mage. She wanted to see the current state of the mage. Hypoxia has caused the consciousness of the three people to be on the verge of disintegration. The difference between hallucinations and reality is very confusing when the brain cannot work properly. In this case, it is better to close your eyes like Lyon on the opposite side in vain observation, but it is in this state that Elsa sees a scene that she will never forget in her life. There is no painful twist or a relaxed smile on the face of the cheese, the mage's face is serious, there is nothing murmured in his mouth, and his eyes, what kind of eyes are they! Even if Elsa used up all the words she knew in her life, she could not describe the eyes of the cheese at this time, not even the most basic color, the eyes are so ... indescribable, even the boss ’s The brain instinctively refused to admit its existence, but the eyes seemed to have some power. Even if Elsa tried to turn away, her eyes were still firmly grasped.
The cheese obviously noticed the eyes of the boss lady. He turned his head to look directly at Elsa ’s eyes. For an instant, it was like an invisible thread in his brain broke. The boss lady lost like a broken puppet. Consciousness fainted in the Master's arms. At this time, the cheese changed the way it felt before, and he seemed so out of step with the surrounding environment, as if it did not belong to this world. ~ Www.novelbuddy.com ~ The cheese was stunned by Elsa Silently stood up, he could not see the slightest pain in his face, and his movements did not show any weakness, as if the lack of oxygen had no effect on him. At this time, Lyon, who was across the corridor, had entered a state of syncope due to heavy smoke and hypoxia. Due to the fact that it was closer to the stairs, the flames that spread on it would burn to the knight. However, as the mage walked in front of Lyon holding the lady boss and placed his left hand on the shoulder of the other party without knowing when he could move, those flames seemed to become something in another world, they roared from Lyon ’s The body was worn over, as if the knight here was just an illusion, and there was no real body.
Seeing that Lyon was not on fire, the cheese seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was not very clear about the consequences of his every move. The mage stretched his left hand to the knight's long armpit, as if he didn't feel any weight. With one hand, he pulled Lyon, who was still wearing a light armor, from the ground. Then he held a person in one hand, and silently walked down the already burning stairs that were almost invisible. This is completely contrary to common sense, because many parts of those steps have been licked and disappeared by the flames, but the mage still walked down the second floor step by step like stepping on the stairs. He and the two people around him turned a blind eye to the burning flames, and the flames passed through them like false images.
In this way, the moment the building collapsed, the cheese took two other people out of the fire. After reaching the area where the fire would not be affected, the mage's knees softened, and the whole person fell down without any warning. Off the ground. With the closing of those eyes, the strange temperament of his body also disappeared, and it seemed to change back to the usual cheese.
