In the western part of the subcontinent, within the Kingdom of Origen, in a certain ruins in the Sward Mountains.
Buzz——
Raphael's halo and wings spread outward, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated his surroundings. At the same time, a narrow passage stretched out under their feet, with a straight path.
The light emitted by the angel allowed Xing Yihuang to see clearly the patterns on the rock wall. She approached the edge and stared at the ancient and crude murals and words on it carefully. Countless pictures were generated in her mind, and then disappeared.
After a short period of thinking, the girl determined the approximate age of the ruins and the civilization it belonged to.
"That's it."
Xing Yihuang turned around and looked at Raphael, who was looking around curiously, and nodded slightly.
"We've come to the right place."
More than a year has passed since the day the girls came to another world. They who originally knew nothing have become authentic natives of the subcontinent.
Xing Yihuang was successfully promoted to a high-level third-level adventurer through her rich knowledge of monsters and the merits she accumulated in many missions. Raphael followed closely behind, only the first level lower than her.
Now the two have become star adventurers in the western part of the road, not only because of their status as fantasy species, but also because of their rapid promotion speed.
At this time, Xing Yihuang is only one step away from becoming an epic adventurer. As long as she completes a few more commissions and performs brilliant operations in an epic battle to annihilate monsters, the world will have one more "anti-monster pioneer".
It is precisely because of this that the aura of the girls is extremely bright. Every day, countless people want to have a relationship with them, and there are more and more official invitations from the Human League.
If Xing Yihuang and Raphael agree, they are likely to become the two most dazzling stars of this era.
After all, the girls' fantasy "kin" don't like to be in public at all, and they are the only ones who have this strength and opportunity.
But these false names did not make Raphael and Xing Yihuang happy, they only felt irritated.
No matter how famous they are and how high their remuneration is, the girls’ original intentions have never changed. Instead, like steel, they have become more dazzling as time goes by.
So far, they have visited several important cities in the western part of the subcontinent, met countless humans, and made nearly a hundred requests.
But the person in my heart never appeared.
Therefore, Raphael did not want to continue the search so blindly, and sent a missing person notice to the entire Asian continent through the Human Alliance.
This commission is also privately referred to by officials as the "Search for the Saint Project."
However, it would cost a lot of money to have the commission listed in the Adventurer's Guild across the continent, not to mention that Raphael also hoped that the Human League officials would search for the "Saint", and the reward would be an astronomical figure.
Although the Human Alliance also hopes that the Saint is still alive, common sense tells them that this is an impossible task. In addition, Raphael and Xing Yihuang are unwilling to join the alliance and become diplomatic ambassadors between humans, Gaotianyu and the Dragon Clan, so they can only take the lead in finding the action.
Every human country has no money left to find someone who doesn't exist.
Therefore, the girls began to take desperate risks and accepted some "red-headed commissions" with unknown levels of danger in exchange for the support of the Human Alliance.
So far, two countries in the western part of the continent have started taking action, but countries in other regions are still on standby.
At this moment, they will appear in this ruins to find the remaining cultural relics of the ancient civilization in exchange for the support of the remaining countries.
"Yeah?"
Raphael closed his eyes and took a deep breath, relieved.
"That's good."
Her voice was soft, as if she was too tired to speak loudly.
Before coming to this passage, the girls encountered more dangers than they could count on both hands. The words "collapses and explosions wherever they go" are the best description of what they experienced in this ancient ruins. Such a portrayal that from the first step into the gate of the ruins, they started to walk on a muddy road with almost no time to rest.
Even the way to this passage was "falling". The reason was that Xing Yihuang forced his way through the ground to avoid the attack of the mechanism in the ruins, causing the collapse.
Unexpectedly, not only did he avoid the danger, he also accidentally hit the right road.
After coming to another world, the Originium crystal in her heart seemed to have disappeared, and she would not feel pain even if she used the power of the spirit behind her, which laid a good foundation for the two of them to take risks.
When the black gold dragon scales cover Xing Yihuang's arms, there are no monsters in this world that she can't kill with a punch, or walls that she can't kick open.
If so, then give me a few more punches; still not enough? Then add a few more feet.
What a dragon's power!
...Then they arrived here in a free fall with dusty rocks.
"My husband bless you."
The Church of Creation is very similar to the Church of Lateran. In addition, Raphael already knows that the Creator God and Saint of this world are Valentin, so she naturally "betrayed" the original church. Became a loyal believer in the Creation God Religion.
It's just that Sister Angel's prayer is very unique, as if it's a joke...
After all, no believer dares to call the Creator God "husband", at least on the surface.
"It seems that this commission can be completed quickly."
After simply saying a strange prayer, Raphael shook his head and patted the dust off his clothes, and his tone became much lighter.
Xing Yihuang looked back at the angel walking behind, feeling that she looked like a cat now.
"This should be the exit reserved by the craftsmen who originally built the ruins, so the back is blocked."
The angel's light only illuminated a small area in the passage, and they couldn't see where the end was.
"The candlesticks on the wall have stopped working a long time ago..."
However, it still allowed Xing Yihuang to see clearly the environment around the two of them. She stopped, raised her hand to flick away the dirt stuck on Raphael's side hair, and focused her eyes on the candlestick above the wall that was almost indistinguishable from decay.
Because of the collapse just now, some candlesticks have completely turned into dust and returned to history. But there are still some standing on it, quietly telling the story of the ancient past.
"If I guess correctly, the end of this passage is where the 'sacred object' is placed. As long as you find it, the mission is complete."
"It's really fast..."
Xing Yihuang looked away and his words stopped abruptly.
The figure was a self-propelled light source, and Raphael stood in front of her, only a few centimeters away.
The dusty but still white skin on the angel's face reflected in the girl's eyes. Those clear blue eyes and long eyelashes seemed to penetrate her heart and capture her soul.
The two of them were so close that they could smell each other's breath.
…
"Pfft~"
After a brief silence, Raphael was the first to break the silence, covering his mouth and laughing softly, his eyes curled into crescent moons.
The little wings behind her also began to tremble, matching the frequency of the girl's laughter, full of bad taste.
"You're still so shy."
Raphael gently pinched the dragon girl's cheek, feeling a warm and soft touch from his fingers.
When they first started traveling in another world, Raphael and Xing Yihuang actually lived together. They didn't have the extra money to buy two rooms, so they had to make do with a double room.
At that time, Xing Yihuang raised an objection as to why it was not a double room, but Raphael rejected it with a smirk.
From that moment on, she felt...
The relationship with Raphael began to deteriorate and developed in a strange direction.
To this day, the awkward ambiguity between the two still exists. Not like a good friend or a bestie, it seems to be an emotion that can only be generated by a deeper relationship.
During this year, Xing Yihuang saw this emotion in Raphael's eyes more than once, which made her very familiar.
because……
In the last few months of his stay in Checheng and when he was in the employee apartment in Rhode Island, this was the way Raphael looked at Valentine.
Close friends, or lovers?
Even a little bit more...
pet?
Xing Yihuang made it clear.
If Valentine is pretended wood, then Xing Yihuang is real wood. She can feel other people's affection for her, but what is the nature of this affection...
totally no idea.
"Hey, you won't be scared by me, will you?"
The familiar voice pulled Xing Yihuang out of his daze, and her eyes became focused again. Raphael was still in front of her, poking Xing Yihuang's cheek with his fingers.
"No……"
Xing Yihuang took two steps back and distanced himself from the girl in front of him.
"Let's go, find the 'sacred object' and leave here quickly."
Her voice was a little rushed, and before she finished speaking, she turned around and started walking, looking very nervous.
Raphael shrugged, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Xing Yihuang's reaction, but he still hurried to catch up with him.
She had made this kind of joke many times, sometimes at home, sometimes on adventures, but always when it was safe enough that Xing Yihuang didn't notice.
Every time she was answered, Xing Yihuang was dumbfounded. Occasionally, he had a cold face, but he was never shy or angry.
This also made Raphael feel that his prank was a bit boring, but it made her more determined to continue teasing the dragon girl.
after all……
Without Valentin around, the only person closest to her is this girl.
Moreover, she is a beautiful girl with a cool personality, so popular that suitors can be lined up from the west to the east of the subcontinent.
It's very uncomfortable not to have skin.
This is also the simplest and most satisfying pastime in the boring life of an adventurer.
After this mission is over, let’s go to this world’s amusement park, right?
Raphael followed Xing Yihuang, driving his wings and halo to light up the road ahead, but in his mind he was thinking about where to relax after the mission.
The plan to find a husband cannot be completed in a year or two. It is very depressing to live a three-point and one-line life of "relics - adventurers guild - home".
Although teasing Xing Yihuang can relax the mind, it is just a small pleasure in a heavy daily life and cannot completely relax the mind and body.
Moreover, this girl has hardly smiled in the past year, so she is probably more tired than herself...
It's time for a vacation.
The progress went smoothly, and soon they opened the mechanism and entered the "sanctuary" of the ruins.
This is the place where ancient civilizations preserved "sacred objects". This civilization is also the only civilization in the world that has seen the true form of the Creator God. Therefore, their sacred objects are of great research value.
When Raphael and Xing Yihuang walked into the sanctuary, an orange-yellow light suddenly lit up in the originally dark room, stinging their eyes.
But fortunately, this strong light stimulation did not make the girls blind, and they recovered after a while.
Raphael put down the hand covering his eyes and slowly opened his eyes. The first thing that appeared in the field of vision was the lighting object hanging on the wall. It seemed to be made of an extremely rare ore. As long as there was life nearby, it would emit light similar to a torch.
When she moved her gaze to the platform in the center of the room, the holy objects placed there made the angel hold her breath.
Even Xing Yihuang was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face.
It was a gun, exactly the same as the one Zhengyu gave to Raphael before traveling through time.
Its name is...
Spotted viper!
