"Although it seems from the results that your decision is right, if you really want to mention it, I don't agree with your style." After treating Baron's wound, Elena said and became angry. The ground hit him on the forehead.
These words are not a reproach to Barong for entering the final realm alone and overestimating his capabilities, but a dissatisfaction that as a man he made the girl worry too much and failed to fulfill his obligations.
Yes, from Elena's point of view, these two people are obviously an intimate couple, but they are both very stubborn and refuse to admit it.
But this is not the case. Although the words and deeds of Artolis and Baron seem slightly ambiguous, in the final analysis, their identities are at best comrades in the tacit understanding of the Divine Society. Regardless of whether Artolis or Baron Both Si and Barong knew it well.
"If there were a better choice, I would naturally not do this." Baron retorted, and then explained in his usual calm tone: "Bringing the sleeping Artolis on this trip can indeed save money." It will take a lot of time, but that will inevitably cause her to be hurt, so it is the safest way to carry her on her back after solving the trouble here..."
"Wait! That's not what I meant!" Elena quickly interrupted the other party. The more she listened to Baron's explanation, the more she felt that something was wrong: "What I want to say is that you can't settle down and wait for him to wake up before we can be together again." Take action?”
"Why did you do this?" Baron was puzzled.
"After all, this can make two people..." Faced with the confusion in Barong's eyes, Elena hesitated for a moment. She was about to explain but stopped after she figured out something. Then she stood up involuntarily and took two steps back, staring. Looking at the man in front of him who had experienced such a battle but only suffered superficial wounds, he gradually frowned.
"So you don't need my power, you just ordered me to take care of that guy? Even the battlefield just now didn't require our intervention..."
"No!" Baron shook his head, and his gaze shifted away from Elena's, hiding his slightly troubled expression, and looked at the girl resting on the side with a sword.
"The latter is another reason, but the target is not Artoris, but you."
"Me?" Regarding what Baron was going to say next, Elena felt like a stone in her heart for some reason, and she was surprised to see the other party glance back.
"Bratorik" Baron said: "How much do you know about this name..."
It was Elena's turn to be on duty. Atoris wanted to take a short rest, but she didn't expect that she would sleep until dusk.
Feeling the warmth coming from her feet, and after reaching out her hand to touch the ends of Elena's soft hair, the sleepy Artoris realized that she had slept for such a long time without realizing it.
Is it because of Barong's presence? Sure enough, staying with that guy always makes people involuntarily relax their vigilance.
Her arms and thighs were both dependent on the elf woman in front of her. If she wanted to pull away for a moment, she would inevitably disturb her.
After pondering for a moment, Artolis finally did not want to disturb Elena's sleep. It seemed that it was not just because of the close relationship between them. It was obvious that the battle with the Thousand-legged Centipede last night also consumed a lot of Elena's energy. , which enabled him to lean against her defenselessly now.
Looking at that delicate sleeping face, Artolis let out a long breath.
"In that case, let's rest for a while."
Finally, the night came into view, and the sunset put away its last smile, followed by the sinking twilight haze in the mountains and forests. The rich night seemed to cover the earth with open black wings. Everything was quiet, except for the floating life on the stone moss. The breast milk dropped into the pool and made a "tick-tock" sound.
"So through here, can we enter the fourth floor?" What he saw ahead was bottomless darkness. He looked at Barong beside him, and then turned to look at Elena. She had no experience before this. Artoris looked a little nervous.
The reason why I chose to enter the passage at this time is because the two adjacent floors in the Xia Corridor have a phenomenon of day and night being reversed. Dusk on the third floor corresponds to dawn on the fourth floor. It would be much safer during the day than at night. Barong wanted to avoid moving at night at least until they figured out the restrictions on the fourth floor.
"Unlike the external wind domain, the space jump inside the Tianyu Xia Corridor will not have any negative impact on the travelers. You can rest assured about this." After hearing what he said, Barong smiled lightly and then said in relief. .
"That's good." Artoris breathed out. Seeing Baron say this, she had nothing to worry about.
"How should I put it? At the beginning, my idea was to say goodbye to you two here, but if it is true as you said, then the restrictions on the fourth floor may not allow me to wander alone." Here is Eli. Na said something that Atoris couldn't understand, and immediately turned her attention to Barong.
"The choice is in your own hands. I have no intention of taking it away. Although I don't want to ask for more bonds, if you have that kind of persistence, then I will do my best to maintain it." Balong's The words did not reveal any emotion, but the meaning was very clear. Although Baron did not require additional companions, if Elena had the idea of continuing to stay in the team, Baron would not have any objections.
"Of course it would be best for Elena to stay, but what do you mean by what you said next? Do you two know anything? Is it about the...restrictions on the fourth floor?"
"It's just a guess made while you were taking a break. Although there is a greater possibility, I dare not make a conclusion easily before experiencing it."
In response to Atoris's doubts, Baron explained, and then under the gaze of the two of them, he stomped the ground four times with his heels.
"Remember, if there is a communication barrier later, just repeat what I did just now."
"What... do you mean?" Artoris was confused as she couldn't understand Baron's actions.
"And just in case, I ask that the time interval between three people entering the passage should not exceed 0.5 seconds, and they should try to enter at the same time." This time, Baron ignored Atoris's questioning and said seriously. State your considerations clearly here.
It can be seen that the other party does not intend to explain too much. Since Baron has such a request and it is not excessive, Artoris will obey his words.
So after understanding Barong's arrangement, the three of them cast their sights forward. As if sensing their arrival, the depths of the cave lit up with a bright golden light at this moment.
At the moment when the light gradually spread outward until it broke through the shackles of the cave and covered half of the sky, Elena smiled with relief.
"Then let's go!"
