In the dense forest and mountain stream in the border area, a figure was speeding forward.
That speed is like flying close to the ground. Let alone ordinary people, even the fastest horse seems to be far behind?
Even the travelers who were originally walking on the path or the farmers in the surrounding villages only felt that it was like a strange wind passing by. Then when they reacted and subconsciously followed the sound, nothing happened. None were found.
And that figure galloping forward like a strange wind is of course Elena!
"..."
At this time, she was very worried about Claire's situation, and she was galloping towards the place Lackey mentioned at full speed. Even though her speed had reached the extreme, she still hoped to be faster. faster.
Moreover, because her heart was full of worry and hesitation, she had no intention of stopping and resting.
finally!
"..."
After a full half-day of galloping, as dusk approached and before the sky darkened, Elena finally arrived at the town of Genalu mentioned by Laki, and finally arrived at the town that had long been turned into a ruin. The town stopped.
In any case, Elena's speed is ten times or even faster than Laki's, and she is still galloping continuously in one breath, completely ignoring the consumption of demon power, and having a clear destination, so, with Laki, Compared to the stop-and-go, staggering, and occasional detours, it only took him half a day to complete his several-day journey with just a swing of his sword.
"Reached?"
(???.???)????
"Is this here?"
(?Д?≡?д?)!?
When Elena stopped, a certain troubled little girl was teleported to her side instantly and began to look at everything around her curiously.
Of course, Annie was not stupid enough to follow that idiot Elena. During this period, she didn't know where to go to play. It wasn't until Elena arrived and stopped panting that she teleported over in a hurry. .
"Really bad!"
(﹁﹁)
"Everyone here seems to have been eaten up..."
(?~?)
"Although there are traces of battle and a dead Awakened One...but there seems to be no trace of that stupid guy Claire!"
(′～`●)
After Annie looked around briefly, she curled her lips and sighed.
She expressed that she was very sure that the Claire that Elena was looking for was definitely not here, because there were no living people here, not even living demons or awakened ones!
Thinking about it, it happened many days ago. Even if some people really did something, they would not be able to stay here anymore. If Elena came here and found clues, then there would be a ghost.
"..."
"I'll go north and have a look!"
"Laki said that he and Claire escaped from this place, and they continued to flee north..."
"Lady Anne!"
"You don't have to come with me. I'm different now. I should be able to handle it on my own!"
After saying that, Elena, who was anxious in her heart, didn't care to say anything more, let alone the sunset that was gradually setting in the west. She galloped straight towards the north and east direction. Her figure flashed away and disappeared in an instant. In the dense forest ahead.
"Really!"
??(??￣?￣)????
"I didn't want to help you in the first place. If there wasn't something fun to watch, I wouldn't have come with you!"
(???3?)
However, despite what she said, Anne took one look at the ruins, and she certainly had no reason to stay here.
"Is it over there?"
(〃°ー°)
Immediately afterwards, Annie thought for a while, and after looking in a certain direction for a while, she flashed and disappeared in an instant.
…
That was it until more than half an hour later.
When it was getting dark, Elena found on a cliff an unknown 'big sword' that had lost both arms and was beheaded, and a big sword weapon with a '?' cross sword mark. Then, another Except for the 'Ophelia' who had become an awakener and was killed in a river valley, there was still no trace of Claire.
In the end, she had no choice but to return to that hidden valley angrily. In that simple wooden house that she also discovered had Claire's demonic aura, but was already empty, she was with her long ago. Anne was waiting there and was grilling an unknown fish over a bonfire to meet up.
"how?"
(???.???)????
"did you find it?"
?(?▽?)?
Seeing Elena's frustrated expression, Anne asked in a crisp voice, knowingly. Although she already knew the result when she came here, she liked to see Elena in this place. It's quite interesting to run around and around.
(…)
(￢?￢.)
"No……"
"However, I found the body of the No. 4 soldier in the organization, Ophelia. She seemed to have been killed after awakening..."
"besides!"
"I actually found out..."
"The body of No. 3 in Teresa's era, the so-called high-speed sword Inili?"
"If it weren't for the big sword with the mark thrown next to her, I wouldn't have recognized her, and I wouldn't have known she was still alive..."
"They were all probably killed yesterday. We were still late."
"It feels like things are getting more and more complicated."
As she said this, Elena, who couldn't figure out the key to all the situations she discovered nearby, couldn't help but sigh.
Although she hurriedly hurriedly arrived, she was still late.
The only good news now is: maybe Claire is not dead, because she did not find the other party's body or weapons nearby. As for who killed Ophelia, and the Theresa Era No. 3. What happened to Inili, who is known as the high-speed sword, is unknown to her for the time being.
"complex?"
(???.???)????
"Don't think about it if it's complicated!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Seeing Elena's sad face, Annie blinked first, and then casually advised her.
Anyway, she never really liked guessing riddles. If she wanted to know something in particular, she would usually ask directly, even if the other party was a dead person?
"If you have time to think about that, why not think about what to eat tonight!"
(???????)
But there’s no rush for those things!
Now that she can confidently live in this wooden house that belongs to someone else, and can directly use the firewood stored in other people's homes, she is more concerned about other more important things.
"What to eat?"
"But!"
"Didn't you catch a fish?"
"Why are you still thinking about it?"
Elena was startled, then subconsciously looked at the fish that Annie was grilling on the charcoal fire and asked in surprise.
"??"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"This is what I managed to catch, but it's not enough for me to eat!"
!? (?''??)?
Unexpectedly, the other party still had such an idea, and Annie, who had always protected food, suddenly became anxious.
"If you want to eat it, catch it yourself!"
o(*｀ー′)o
then!
Without thinking about it, Annie subconsciously protected the big fish on the shelf next to her campfire, saying that it was for her to eat alone, and if Elena wanted to eat it, she would have to do it herself.
After all, this was a wilderness, and she was still the other party's master in name. How in the world could a master prepare food and drink for his entourage?
"I……"
"I don't eat much, a little is enough."
Elena spoke very seriously, and once again reiterated the fact that their bodies with big swords were abnormal.
In the past, she would need to eat a little bit for several days, but now, although her appetite has increased, one meal a day, three or two bites per meal, is almost enough.
"Don't say a little bit, not even a little bit!"
o(′^｀)o
Unfortunately, Anne did not want to give in on this principled issue.
"..."
After staring at Annie for a while and realizing that Annie was very serious and really had no intention of sharing anything with her, Elena had no choice but to turn around in a state of laughter and tears, and then walked outside.
"Hello!"
(°ー°〃)
"This kind of fish is only found in the pool over there. Although they are very cunning, you should still be able to catch it if you work a little harder."
?(⊙?⊙)?
Seeing Elena walking out, Anne thought that the other party was really going to fish, so of course she kindly reminded her.
"No……"
"I want to go and restrain Ophelia and Inili from Theresa's era first."
"I was also a soldier of the organization..."
"In any case, I, like them, are a group of poor people and victims in the organization, so I should at least bury them, so that their bodies will not be exposed in the wilderness, or be dragged away by wild wolves and dogs..."
After saying that, Elena sighed softly and then silently stepped forward, preparing to walk towards the two places where she had found the body before.
"I'll be back soon!"
"You don't have to wait for me."
Of those two people, one died on the cliff and the other died in the river valley. Although the distance was a bit far, it was certainly not a big problem in Elena's opinion.
Besides, it was getting dark now, and if we didn't hurry up, wild wolves, wild dogs, lynxes, leopards, etc. would come out. The demonic aura remaining on the corpses of the two people would not frighten those animals for long.
"Is that so?"
(⊙o⊙*)
Blinking and watching the other person walking away and about to disappear into the darkness, Anne thought for a while, then suddenly patted Tibbers beside her and said:
"Hello!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
"that……"
(???c)
"If you really want to know what happened, if they really just died not long ago, maybe there is something they can do!"
(゜▽＾*)
In fact, Annie always has a solution or something, and the only difference is whether she wants to do it or is willing to do it.
"!!"
Hearing this, Elena of course trembled and quickly turned around in surprise.
Annie is a thing that is the most the most, the most the most, the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most and the most the most powerful. Yes, and after following and contacting her for this period of time, she also knew that this Lady Anne also had various magical methods and magic, such as teleportation, conjuring various things, and knowing many strange and strange things. Things like being able to easily suppress rampaging demons and powerful demons, etc.?
However, for certain things, namely the 'resurrection' thing that the other party just mentioned, it is really beyond the limits of Elena's imagination.
"S-Sir!"
"you……"
"Can you still revive?!"
Therefore, while asking, Elena's tone couldn't help but be a little disbelieving and trembling.
If that kind of thing is true, maybe Elena feels that the little girl in front of her, this misbehaving, sleepy and playful Lady Anne, is really not just what the other party said. Then 'Arch Mage' is so simple.
"Um……"
(′???`)
"Actually, it can't be considered a resurrection technique!"
(^～^;)ゞ
Anne shook her head. Although she knew many kinds of resurrection techniques, resurrecting a few people, a group of people, a large group of people, or even an entire planet was just a thought to her, but she wanted to After thinking about it, he still denied it and explained patiently in a way that the other party could understand:
"For a half-human, half-demon sword like yours, the demon flesh and blood in the body has great energy and activity. Even if the host dies, it will not completely lose its activity for several days, and it will take a long time for it to decay. This is Are you right?"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
"so……"
|???w??)??
"If you retrieve their bodies, and then activate the demonic power in their bodies, and let their demonic power turn them directly into those awakened ones, and then suppress them back after they come back to life, then everything will be fine. Alright?"
(?^▽^?)
"Anyway!"
o(*?^?*)o
"That certainly can't be considered a resurrection technique!"
(????-)?
Anne explained in a serious and serious manner.
Of course, she will definitely not say that her fish is almost ready now, and since she is also very curious about what Elena just said and investigated, she also wants to know what happened. .
And asking the other party to get the body back, and then she used some tricks to resurrect the two guys who had not been dead for a long time, and let them tell her stories, it became a good way to learn the whole story and relieve the boredom.
Although, Queen Anne has other means to easily reveal the answer, and can even trace it back to the source and know everything with just one thought, but that would be too boring!
In comparison, she still prefers to use a method that can be understood by others and can save a lot of trouble.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"!!"
"yes!"
"Please wait a moment, I'll be back soon!"
She didn't expect things to turn around like this, and she seemed to think it was very feasible. So, Elena didn't dare to neglect. She first saluted Annie solemnly, then turned around and disappeared in an instant. .
"..."
(⊙?⊙*)
Staring at the other person's retreating back and blinking, Annie finally said nothing.
Because she could see that Elena was really worried about Claire's situation, so much so that she wanted to save two swordsmen she didn't know and might even be enemies?
However, she doesn't care about that kind of thing!
She was just too lazy to wait until she found Claire before revealing the answer. She just wanted to know it earlier.
"oops!"
!(;?o?)o
"Oops! I'm going to get confused!!"
⊙﹏⊙‖i°
Suddenly, Annie exclaimed when she smelled a certain burning smell, and then began to get busy around the bonfire.
"Tibbers, it's all your fault!"
?(?`^′?)?
"look!"
(?????)
"I accidentally burned it!"
o(*｀ー′)o
"go!"
?(ψ｀╭╮′)?
"Go and catch two more for me... no, catch a few more fish and come back, they will all be as big as this!"
(?ˊ??╭╮?)???
Then, after sniffing it and discovering that it seemed to be less edible, Annie put it aside in annoyance and prepared to leave it to Elena. At the same time, she did not forget to throw out her little bear and ordered it to use it. To atone for her sins, go and catch more fish for her.
(??)
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
Of course, Tibbers was a little confused about this. He didn't know what was going on. Why did he take the blame again when he clearly didn't do anything?
However, when he thought about a certain bad little master who never liked to reason with him, and when he thought that any more excuses would probably make the other party angry and get a severe beating, he was still very cowardly and did not dare to say anything more. He stood up and gradually grew bigger, then twisted his big round butt and sauntered towards a certain water pool.
"Hurry up!"
ヾ(=?w?=)o
"Don't wait too long. If you don't catch Elena before she comes back, you will be in trouble!"
(灬°w°灬)
However, before Tibbs was ready to slowly grind out his work, there was another sinister and malicious warning voice coming from behind him.
(!!)
-=????=????(′?`)?
So, as a last resort, a certain bear had no choice but to speed up and rush in a certain direction.
After all, it is a bear, a ferocious shadow bear, and since it is a bear, of course it needs to look like a bear! For example: you can only resist and disobey your little master's orders in your heart, and then you can secretly curse a few words, but you can never be negligent or disobey in action?
Anyway!
Isn’t it just to catch a fish?
That kind of thing is not too difficult for the bear clan. Uncle Bear promises to kill all the fish in the pool within a few minutes!
Or even, can you just go fishing in the lake?
Let alone just a few, dozens or hundreds will do!
