Chapter 249 Homecoming
Time passed, and the execution ground was quiet in the dark night.
After Elva left, all signs of activity were completely lost here, and the yellow sand several meters high completely buried everything in it.
"..."
The status quo remained like this, and then a considerable period of time passed.
The yellow sand at the execution ground began to make tiny sounds of "crunching". It would be difficult to hear such small sounds unless you were very close. Ordinary people would only regard it as a vague illusion.
But then, this small voice gradually became louder.
If you listen carefully, it sounds like the noise made by rodents digging in the soil.
——A few more seconds passed.
At the edge of a piece of yellow sand, a specific area began to faintly reveal a faint white color, and you could vaguely see the white color shaking a bit.
The white light gradually became brighter.
Finally, it can be clearly seen that the light source is close to the wall in the yellow sand, gradually moving upward.
Brush -
Finally, an arm wrapped in white light stretched out from the yellow sand.
Five fingers were immediately clasped firmly on the wall of the execution ground.
Immediately afterwards, the owner of the arm suddenly exerted force relying on this support.
Only a 'pop' sound was heard.
The two entangled figures broke away from the shackles of the gravel, and then rushed to the top of the fence outside the scene.
Fortunately, a stand was set up at the top of the execution ground to monitor the scene, and the space was spacious enough.
After rolling on the spot a few times, the two of them did not fall directly from here.
After realizing that he was out of bounds, Ronald sat down on the top of the wall of the execution ground, and then placed the limp Claudia next to him.
Knowing that Elva was no longer here, he lay back and took a few deep breaths of fresh air:
"Ha-ah-"
"Come out... we're out!"
"..."
and At the same time, Claudia lying aside was different from Ronald, who was extremely physically strong. Her condition was obviously weaker.
A slender girl lay on the top of the wall.
After panting for a long time, he gradually calmed down his breathing rhythm.
At this time, a gust of cold night wind happened to blow past where the two of them were.
Claudia trembled, her face flushed, tilted her head, and then her eyes shifted to Ronald's face next to her.
Noticing his companion's gaze, Ronald also turned his head and looked over.
"..."
There was an awkward silence in the air.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, Claudia tilted her head and asked in a very ominous tone:
"Ronald, how long has it been since you brushed your teeth?"
"..."
Upon hearing this question, Ronald instantly Startled.
Think about it subconsciously.
Because of the inconvenience on the ship, he didn't have time to brush his teeth from the time he boarded the ship in Burrenwich until yesterday when he arrived in Springs.
It seems...it has indeed been a while since he
experienced the situation just now, so it's no wonder that Claudia asked this question.
I'm really sorry for not brushing my teeth...
Although there was a bit of embarrassment on his face, Ronald also knew that Claudia was changing the subject. Otherwise, if the delicate atmosphere was maintained, neither of them would be able to speak tonight. .
So he dispersed the large amount of black mist he summoned.
When the atmosphere calmed down, Ronald finally said:
"Isa, that guy has run away."
"Looking at his last location when he disappeared, it should be in the southwest of the city."
While speaking, Ronald He pointed to the distance.
He could feel Elva's position just now, but unfortunately the suppression of these gravels was too severe, making it difficult for him to control the black mist and continue to pursue the opponent.
As for now...
the two sides are too far away, and he can no longer feel the specific location of the other party.
At the same time, after hearing Ronald's description, Claudia, who was still resting, also turned her attention to the southwest.
She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then her eyes darkened:
"Southwest direction..."
"That's the location of the train station in the city. This guy must have run away."
"He ran really fast."
"... "
When telling this result, Claudia waved her hands helplessly. She was obviously not satisfied with this situation.
And after hearing such an answer, Ronald's mood was inevitably a little complicated.
Looking at Claudia lying flat on the top of the wall next to him, he couldn't help but complain:
"In other words, the few original code holders I met were almost all abnormal when they chose to escape or simply gave up. Decisiveness, is this a mysterious trend?"
For the first time, Claudia rolled her eyes inelegantly in front of Ronald.
Feeling that her physical strength was beginning to recover, the girl sat up half-stretched, and then replied:
"It is better to surrender or run away than to die directly in the hands of others." "
After all, he is the holder of the original code, and generally he will not treat others to him. Unless they are absolutely crushed in terms of strength and have no worries, who knows what irrational things the opponent will do before death?" "
The battle on the mysterious side is more about interests, and achieving the goal is enough. ."
Hearing such an answer, Ronald nodded noncommittally:
"That's true..." "
..."
Just like this, they exchanged views with each other while blowing the cold wind in winter.
As the physically stronger of the two, Ronald felt his strength recover first and immediately stood up on the top of the wall.
Under the dark night, he stared at the execution ground like a sea of sand in front of him.
Ronald couldn't help but look down at his gloves.
Facing tonight's situation, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional for a while.
If they hadn't entrusted Claudia to make this pair of gloves for them before the battle, and without the power of [Guardian] to ensure their own safety, they would probably have to pay a higher price for dealing with Elva, a veteran spellcaster.
Having fought against genuine original code holders twice, the facts told him that this was a very dangerous thing.
Even if I have the advantage of understanding the original language.
However, with the help of experience accumulated over the years, people from other worlds also have a side that they cannot catch up with.
At this moment, Claudia stood up.
But unlike Ronald who was looking at the execution ground, the direction she was looking at was the location in Springs City.
Feeling the cold wind blowing on yourself.
There was a look of thought on the girl's face.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she decisively said to Ronald:
"Ronald, take me to your house?"
Ronald was stunned for a moment:
"Huh?"
"To my house?"
"Don't think nonsense." Hearing Ronald's doubtful tone, Claudia shook her clothes helplessly, "Do you think I can go home directly?"
Shulala -
against Claudia Ya's actions.
A lot of yellow gravel shook off from the corners of her clothes.
She was buried in the gravel just now, but unlike Ronald, she didn't stick to a grain of sand.
