Chapter 467 Among the Ruins 4 (page 12)
Il thought that the guy who built this ruins was really free.
It's outrageous that such an organization can be built one level after another.
But no matter what, with the exit so close, she did stumble.
In great embarrassment, I followed Sano and fell into an unknown place. The special blue crystals in the room emitted a glowing light, which was not dazzling. It was like a special candle lighting up the way in the dark night. It was so beautiful. Breathtaking.
Seno let go of her and asked in a concerned tone: "Are you okay, El? Did you get hit somewhere?"
El stood up.
She moved her hands and feet, but because she was protected by Seno, nothing happened to her.
But she hadn't been this angry for a long time.
Extremely angry.
She reached out and asked Seno for the Red Sand Staff, and then the weak researcher took the spear that looked like a shovel in both hands and struck hard on the bright blue ore——
Bang bang.
——Obviously, the ore is very hard.
Seno hesitated: "...El? Are these ores of any value?"
The researcher lady said flatly: "I want to dig them all back."
Seno: ...What?
He wanted to ask again, but El seemed unwilling to continue. She was in a strangely bad mood, so he stopped talking.
After a while, the banging sound continued, but El did not dig out even a single stone.
So Sai Nuo said silently: "Well, let me do it."
He took the red sand staff that was used as a shovel from her hand, then dug harder at the ore for a while, and finally succeeded in prying off a small piece.
El picked up the small piece of ore that had been pried, looked at Sano who was still prying the ore for her, and suddenly said: "Forget it."
Xeno stopped moving.
El: "Let's find an exit first."
Xeno paused: "What should we do with these ores?"
These ores...
The words that flashed through El's mind were: It's coming.
After all, she had been tricked so badly by the builder of the ruins, and she had to keep all these ores in her pocket no matter what.
Just like a traveler, as long as she finds things that are ownerless, then those things belong to her.
I just didn’t expect it to be so difficult to dig out…
The researcher lady paused, and what she heard when the team gathered here suddenly came to mind.
[Oh, by the way, the traveler will come too. 】Candice said.
【Traveler? His achievements are praised by others, and what he has done is extremely difficult. Now that he is so famous, if we want to entrust him to help save people, can we afford the price? 】El didn't understand travelers, so he asked.
【Do not worry. ] Candice answered her, [Travellers don’t need to be paid... No, you can’t say that. Do you know "rough stones"? It’s the useless stone that each of us has at home more or less. 】
El: [What’s wrong? 】
Candice: [Travelers only want that. I spent sixty rough stones to entrust him with it, and he agreed. 】
A great idea came to mind.
El said: "When we go out, I can entrust travelers to help me dig ore, twenty rough stones... no, forty rough stones..."
After a pause, she thought for a while: "I don't seem to have that much..."
She is not very good at collecting so many useless things. The materials she gets are either experimental supplies or given by others.
So...it seems that I don’t have enough rough stones.
She turned to look at Seno.
"how much do you have?"
Seno thought for a while: "I should have quite a few."
When he became a disciplinary officer and carried out missions everywhere, Sano collected a lot.
El's eyes lit up.
"how many?"
"Hmm... there should be hundreds of them, right?"
So the two happily decided who would pick the subsequent ore, and then began to look for other ways out.
The ore emits a bright blue light.
After moving in this small space for a while, they had to admit a terrible fact——
It seemed like I couldn't get out at all.
This is just like the place where Odd and the mercenaries were trapped. It is a "dungeon" that can only be exited by external force.
I don't know why, but when he realized this, Il suddenly felt an extremely irritable feeling in his heart.
——I don’t want to stay here.
she thinks.
The desire to leave was like a long-lasting wildfire, burning strangely in a windless place for a long, long time. The flames danced and burned her chest, and her skin and flesh seemed to be melted into unspeakable irritability. In the end, even her insides His internal organs were burned until nothing was left.
El pursed her lips tightly.
The blessings from the gods on his body were no longer effective.
...How long will I be detained here?
How long do you have to endure the torture?
[You were the one who killed my son! You monster who should have died long ago!]
【Go to hell, go to hell...go to hell!】
[What did he do wrong? Why would you attack innocent people? You evil spirit is more ferocious than the monsters crawling from hell!]
[Why does a person like you get the blessing of the devil? Why can't you die? 】
……
"El? El..." Two familiar tones suddenly came to my ears.
Sai Nuo stretched out his hand and hugged her gently and restrainedly, with a touch of tenderness in his words: "We will get out, don't be afraid."
Just like many encounters during the day and night, no matter what she becomes, this person is always like this...
Calm, gentle, with feelings for some people who don't know it, which may seem shallow, but are actually as endless as water.
Time will not stop for anyone. It is indifferent and fair, and repays equal "favor" to everything.
The body grows under the influence of time, and the emotions become deeper in the wine of time.
"Afraid?" She calmed down and regained consciousness from the strange state that seemed to burn through everything. She said with a trembling voice, "I'm not afraid."
Xeno looked at her through the faint blue light.
She seemed to have forgotten to push him away, so he hugged her a little tighter, nodded, slowly calmed the bad mood of the person in his arms, and skillfully said: "Well, it's my fault."
El finally couldn't hold it back and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Seno." She sniffed, "You know what's going on."
"Ah."
After a long time.
"There's one more thing." She said suddenly.
"what?"
"The ribbon on your hat is a little dull."
There were many streamers on his hat, and when El put her head on his shoulder, a strand of streamers also fell on his shoulders, and was then pressed down by El.
The patterns on it are made of different materials, which makes them a little uncomfortable to press on.
