Holker College dormitory villas.
Rogge told everyone the content of his conversation with Thea, omitting of course that she was losing her temper and that she asked him to wait and see.
"I will go with you." Matilda, who did not move with everyone today, said, "Sister, I will protect you."
"Okay." Although this sister who is over a hundred years old is always teasing him, her strength is there, and it will be much more practical to enter the space barrier together.
"Then I'll make the spiritual stone talisman." We will set off tomorrow, and Ofina has to work overtime to make everyone's life-saving equipment.
She jogged two steps to the door, suddenly thought of something, and turned back, pulling Filia with her.
Rogge shook his head helplessly. The little girl was guarding against him. It must have been Lunt and Madeleine's breakthrough that stimulated her to prevent him from being alone with Filia.
Thinking of Rentrog, I felt funny. The big guy would wink at him every chance he got. It had been like this all day, which was quite irritating.
"Lunt, come out."
"Huh? Oh."
Lunt followed his good friend to the yard. There was no one around, so he stopped Rogge by the shoulder and started winking again.
For the first time, Roger knew that a person's eyebrows could be so flexible and vivid.
"Okay, okay, stop squeezing, your eyes are small to begin with." Rogge pushed Lunt's arm away.
"Hehehe, Rogge, let me tell you, then..."
"Stop, don't tell me about you and Madeleine." Rogge gave Lunt a hard punch to help him suppress the urge to share his experiences and feelings, "Have you seriously confessed your love to Madeleine? "
"Hey, I still need to confess my love? Linlin loves me so much."
"Tell her about it, girls like this."
"Okay. Hehehe, when will you, Filia, and the eldest sister..."
"Let's go!" Rogge didn't let Lunt finish asking. He turned around and said before entering the house, "Don't wink at me in the future. Madeline will see it and I'll make her hate it."
"Ah? Will you?"
Roger nodded seriously.
"Oh, got it."
"Move a little smaller, don't make it look like there's an earthquake."
After hearing this, Lunt quickly caught up with him, his expression became a little lewd, "I couldn't help it, you don't know, let me tell you..."
"Don't tell me." Rogge knocked back Lunt's words with another punch, and left quickly using his speed technique.
"Hey, you're still shy. Little boys are so innocent, tsk tsk tsk." Lunt smiled and shook his head, closing his eyes to reminisce about last night and looking forward to the good times tonight.
Ofina and Filia were busy until very late and didn't come back. Rogge, who was "alone in the empty room", felt the tremors on the floor and decided to endure the night. When he came back from exploring the space barrier, he must change their clothes. A large single-family house.
The next day, Ofina, who stayed up late making equipment for everyone, had blurry eyes and low energy, which was in sharp contrast to Lunt, whose face was glowing red.
The girl was so angry that she poked Lunt a few times with the flying sword of light, and cast a healing spell on Madeline. Then she finished her breakfast, flew into Rogge's arms and fell asleep.
Filia, who was no different from usual, distributed the fruits of their night's work to everyone. The spirit stone amulet was extremely exquisite in workmanship, and the complicated carvings on it probably meant that no one except Ophina herself knew what it meant.
"You only need to inject energy or magic power to activate it. It's very convenient. Nana is really a genius." Filia said.
The girl who had just fallen asleep seemed to be able to hear someone praising herself in her dream, and the corners of her mouth turned up with a proud look on her face.
"I have one too?" Matilda hung the spiritual stone amulet around her neck, took out a mirror from somewhere and looked at it, "It looks pretty good."
"Yours and Rogge's are specially made. They can withstand a saint-level strike. It took Nana so long to make these two talismans."
Matilda pinched Ofina's little face and said, "Thank you."
The girl frowned, slapped Matilda's hand away, chirped twice, and continued to sleep.
Rogge wanted to exchange talismans with Filia, but Filia disagreed, "Nana made it specially for you, just take it and don't worry about me. You are my defeated general, so you need it even more."
"……good."
"Then let's set off?"
"Set off."
...Gaofeng
At the entrance of the Hork City Adventurer Association headquarters, members of the Loosoma Adventure Group gathered here.
Everyone is fully armed, and the bright rare-grade weapons and armor are very eye-catching, and the adventurers passing by all show envy.
The team members discussed their new equipment enthusiastically and praised the generosity of the team leader and eldest sister. Fiennes, the most eloquent, even wrote a hymn to Rogge.
"Commander Rogge is here, everyone, stand still!" Alvarez, the "little spider" with the sharpest eyes, jumped down from the big tree on the roadside.
Everyone was arranged according to their usual squads, standing upright, like a group of soldiers waiting for review.
Rogge came to the team, and just as he was about to speak, he heard everyone shouting: "Hello, leader!"
It was so impressive that many adventurers passing by thought it was some kind of high-level adventure group at the Bright Moon or Sunrise level engaged in team building.
"Hello everyone, no need to be so solemn, please be casual." Rogge said with a smile.
The group members didn't move when they heard this, but they just stood a little more casually.
"Sister Luoriya, has the carriage been arranged?"
"It'll be there soon."
"Okay, let's think about it and see if there's anything else we've missed, and we'll set off immediately."
"Yes!" Alva raised his hand, "There are two girls who want to go with you."
Rogge followed Alva's gaze and saw two girls of similar height and figure looking at him. One was sweet and the other was generous and confident. They were sisters Chatfannie and Charista who had returned to themselves.
The two women waved to Rogge's gaze and trotted over.
Chatfannie said: "Brother Rogge, I heard that you are going to the space barrier, please take us with you."
"Chatfannie, it might be dangerous there, and Emperor Charles wouldn't want you to go there."
"Father agrees that we should follow you. Besides, we are Ophina's hostages."
"Hmph, I thought about it carefully. Lao Cha probably won't default on his debt. You are free!" Ophina, who had taken a nap, lay on Rogge's back and released the hostage with a wave of her hand.
"We will follow you even if you are free." Chatfannie said stubbornly.
Rogge sighed lightly and chose to compromise, "You can follow, but you must act together with my team members and listen to Luoriya's command. Otherwise, go find your father and help him."
"Okay!" Charista agreed first, "I don't want to go to Father. It's boring. My second brother can help him."
"I will also be obedient." Chatfannie expressed her stance.
Several dragon carriages prepared by Loria arrived just in time, and Rogge made a gesture, "Everyone, get on the carriage and set off."
"Yes, leader!"
The shouts were uniform and the momentum was astonishing.
…
Hork City is not very far from the Iron Wall Mountains, but the roads in the mountainous area are difficult to navigate, and the huge dragon carriage can only stop at the foot of the mountain.
Rogge's team rode for two days and climbed mountains for another day, and finally arrived at the entrance of the barrier located on a small piece of flat land between two mountains.
As far as you can see here, everyone is full of people.
There are groups of adventurers, lone wolves who want to try their luck, and troops who are keeping vigil in the distance.
This army happens to be a brigade of the Red Flame Knights of the Yanyang family. It is responsible for maintaining order and reporting to the large troops stationed not far away as soon as possible danger occurs.
Due to the agreement between the Nalan Empire and the Adventurers Association, the empire will not organize troops to enter any space barrier that appears within the territory to explore, but will receive 40% of the association's current income after the exploration of the space barrier is completed, and Obtain priority purchasing rights for various materials.
Of course, not all countries choose to cooperate with the Adventurers Association. In fact, the only ones that cooperate are the Nalan Empire, the Soul-Calling Holy Kingdom and some small countries in the Chaos Land. Other countries, such as Hesololan, the Holy Peak Dwarves, the Snow Ridge Dwarves, the Scarlet Holy See, the Eternal Night Spirit Kingdom, etc., are all cooperating. Choose to monopolize the right to explore the domestic space boundary.
The Nalan Empire has been at war with the Orc Alliance all year round. Choosing to cooperate can gain benefits without spending troops, which is more beneficial to the empire.
However, this time the space barrier is at the border, and there are entrances from both countries. It is possible for the orcs to enter from there and come out from here, so it is very necessary to send a force with sufficient combat power to guard it.
In a crowded place, the beautiful Filia is always the focus, so the moment she appeared, the soldiers of the Red Flame Knights recognized their eldest lady, and a soldier who looked like a captain hurried over. .
"Miss, why are you here?" the captain saluted.
"I'm going to go in and have a look. How's the situation?"
"The situation... is not very clear. No one who went in in the past two days has come out."
The captain's words caused Rogge to think deeply.
It stands to reason that the exploration teams of each adventurer team will definitely communicate with the outside world. This situation of people entering and no one leaving is absolutely abnormal.
Either there was a problem with the entrance recently and they couldn't get out of the barrier, or... they all died inside.
The adventurers are also aware of this problem, which is why so many people gather here.
"Roger, it seems there is something wrong with this barrier. Are you still going in?" Jinji asked.
"Go in."
"Then you must be careful!" Alva said worriedly.
"Well, we will. If we really don't come out for a long time, don't worry and don't rush into the barrier." Rogge emphasized.
"Don't worry, Rogge, I will take good care of them." Luo Ruiya said.
"Miss, please send a team of people to accompany you in," the captain said.
"No, if you are in danger, I will have to protect you. Besides, you are soldiers, so you cannot enter the barrier. This is the rule. Stay safe here and report any abnormality immediately."
"yes!"
"Strengthen the security around the entrance and expand the patrol scope."
"clear!"
Rogge looked around at everyone. Everyone was ready, so he no longer hesitated and walked towards the entrance first.
The temperament and appearance of everyone were very special. The adventurers made a way and watched them disappear through the entrance.
"Haha, another team is desperate. Those girls are so beautiful, what a pity."
The discussion behind them became smaller and smaller, and after a feeling of falling, everyone entered the space barrier.
