Chapter 681: Twists and turns
Ronald’s steps became hesitant.
The first thing that came to his mind was their current location in the Yuez Forest.
If Costart is right.
Then this spellcaster named Layton will die in two days.
When the time comes, the little girl next to her will be left alone... With her mobility at her age, it would be impossible to get out of this huge Yoiz forest.
Even relax the conditions a little more!
Even if this little girl can leave the forest at the last moment.
But even so, she may not be able to reach the human settlement alive. There is a high probability that the forest is still a no-man's land where no one can be seen.
"..."
Thinking of these things.
Ronald frowned, sighed, and then asked the middle-aged spellcaster opposite:
"Mr. Layton, can you tell me where this little girl's home is?" "
..."
Ronald heard A change in tone.
The emotions in Layton's eyes were obviously excited.
However, he did not answer Ronald's question directly. Instead, he gently patted the little girl behind him on the shoulder and pushed her in front of him: "
Hull, tell this gentleman where your home is." "
... "
The little girl's expression was a little hesitant.
"Hull's home, my home is..." She hesitated and said a few words. Before she could tell her the location of her home, the child burst into tears, then turned around and hugged Lei Te's legs. , "Leiton, I want you to take me home! Can you please don't die?" "
..."
The middle-aged spellcaster looked stunned.
He quickly bit his lips, knelt on the ground, and then stretched out his hands to hold the little girl firmly in his arms.
At this moment, Layton couldn't express his promise.
He just looked at Ronald with a look that was both sad and firm, and the meaning was self-evident.
"..."
Counting the age before time travel.
Ronald is actually quite old.
It can be said that eating sweets will make you feel better, but seeing tragedies will make you sad.
This kind of scene...it would be better if he didn't see it.
But after it really happened before his eyes, Ronald really felt like he couldn't walk.
However, this indescribable atmosphere of grief and indignation does not seem to be contagious to everyone.
While everyone was trying to brew their emotions, Costa next to Ronald suddenly said,
"Sir, aren't we leaving yet?"
"..."
The maid asked in a calm and calm tone.
It was as if the scene happening in front of her was completely worth mentioning to her.
However, Costart soon saw Ronald's expression and felt that her speech might be a bit inappropriate. She immediately changed her words and explained to Ronald: "Sir,
this is out of consideration of the actual situation." "
If If we can't solve the problem in the forest as soon as possible - then we don't know how many more similar tragedies will happen in places where we can't see." Being interrupted by Costart,
Ronald's tangled mood actually eased a little.
He knew that what the maid said was the current fact.
If the problem of the original canon is not solved...
let alone this caster and a little girl, as the power of the original canon continues to spread, it is hard to estimate how many lives will be lost in the future, and it is even possible that it will happen now. There have been many tragedies.
There are few signs of human activity in the Joize Forest.
But that is also true.
"..."
At this moment.
Ronald suddenly remembered something.
Nicole, whom he met in Burrenwich, was also a member of the Arcane School of Organ.
When communicating with the investigator girl, the other party once explained to Ronald the situation and spell system of the Arcane Mystery School.
Thinking about it carefully, the current situation does not seem completely hopeless?
Recalling the information he had received, Ronald immediately said:
"Mr. Layton, based on my understanding of the secret of Ogen, your school should have established many camps in the Yuez Forest, and some people have mastered it. A unique spell that uses plants to replace human organs." "
If Layton you can find your companions in this kind of camp, then as long as you get the corresponding treatment, rest and then take this little girl home, it shouldn't be... What's the problem?"
"..."
Upon hearing Ronald's suggestion, Layton showed a wry smile:
"Mr. Ronald, the Secret of Organ is indeed a school of thought founded in the forest." "
But this time it came out of the blue. The changes are a very serious blow to us. As early as two months ago, all the magicians scattered in various camps had been recalled to the Holy Land for concentrated defense." answered
Ronald The problem.
Layton's mood seemed to change accordingly.
He let go of Hull's hand and stood up. After holding the little girl in his arms, he immediately said to Ronald in a bitter and helpless tone: "
Mr. Ronald, the request just now was indeed rude on my part."
"Saving Yoiz is the most important thing to anyone. As for us... I will try my best."
Jane apologized to Rhonas.
Layton's eyes shifted to the little girl next to him:
"Hel, I promise you again -"
"Leighton, the spellcaster of the Arcane Secret, will definitely send you home safely.
" The girl nodded vigorously:
"Yes, I believe you."
"..."
The eyes of the young and the old met, and an indescribable trust came from this.
They then bid farewell to both Ronald.
He walked with staggering but determined steps deeper into the Izzy forest.
Ronald watched the two of them go away.
However, when the other party walked less than a hundred meters away, he suddenly woke up to an issue that he had not considered just now - the direction in which these two guys were heading!
Sending someone home...
going deeper into the Yuez Forest?
And it even overlapped with the path I would explore later!
At this moment.
Ronald looked at Costat next to him with a surprised expression.
The maid responded to Ronald's eyes with her own quietness, and even nodded slightly, saying "Sir, that's it. You read that right."
"..."
Ronald was silent for a few more seconds.
In the end, he had to accept this bizarre and coincidental reality, and then chased the two people in front of him.
The distance, which was not too far, was covered in the blink of an eye.
After catching up with the two people leaving, Ronald asked simply:
"Mr. Layton, our route seems to be very consistent." "
Before we go together, I have a question that I hope to get. Answer."
Layton heard the other person's meaning from Ronald's words.
The middle-aged magician's surprised expression was mixed with doubts, and then he immediately nodded and replied:
"Sir, please ask."
Ronald continued:
"Since we are sending this little guy home, what is your direction of travel? Why are you going into the forest?"
Faced with this question.
Before Layton could answer, the little girl next to him took the initiative to explain:
"Because Hull's home is in the forest."
