Chapter 916 Re-Entering the Hinterland

"...I used to be the same as you," Pasha said suddenly after a moment of silence, "Every time a partner goes out, I will stand guard in front of the city gate. The Federation also built a tall tower there for Give everyone a rest, and if there is a team coming back, you will know immediately.”

"Did you mean Taquila?" Tilly asked.

"Yes, but after a few years, except for the garrison, very few people go there, do you know why?"

"..." She didn't answer, but she already guessed the answer in her heart.

"Because what you get in the end is always disappointment and sorrow." Pasha put the tentacles on her shoulders, "The identification between witches goes beyond blood, and it is the magic that connects us, whether it is an ordinary combat witch or a member of the Holy Blessed Army." , as long as you get along for a while, most of them will become brothers and sisters. But this kind of relationship also makes the tower full of negative emotions, especially after finally waiting for the return day, but only seeing the corpses brought back. Wait until the outer defense line It was compressed step by step, and when no one needed to go out, the Federation ordered the tower to be demolished.”

"Do you mean to say that waiting is unnecessary?"

"On the contrary, what I want to say is don't be resistant to waiting, it proves that you haven't really experienced the feeling of loss." Pasha's tone was slow and soft, "I also hope that you will never become like me One day indifferently regards sacrifice as routine."

It is not that I have lost. Whether it is leaving the palace or going to the Sleeping Island, I have made many decisions, many of which are related to gains and losses, and even giving up some of my kind... As long as I can walk in the right direction, I will not There is too much hesitation. But some people are different. There are always one or two special people who make me upset. Tilly shook the lightning magic stone ring in her hand. If it was her, she could easily control the two magic stones alternately, but with Ashes, she could only fly straight up and down, so this ring stayed with her. hands.

But she didn't express these thoughts, she just nodded lightly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. I'll check the excavation progress of the impenetrable defense line. There is a rest room at the entrance of the main hall. If you want to sleep, you can go there anytime."

"I see."

After Pasha left by the same route, Tilly suddenly felt a chill in her palm.

She spread her hand, and saw that the corner of the magic stone fixed by the ring had peeled off at some point, and pierced into her skin, leaving a tiny drop of blood on it.

...

"It's the fifth day today, why haven't I seen the shadow of the ruins yet?" Lian muttered, "I'm almost moldy because I'm stuck in the ground every day."

"I don't know, anyway, whichever way you make a hole, I will go there," a girl with braids shrugged, threw a piece of jerky into the air, and then opened her mouth to see the jerky A flash of blue light disappeared instantly, but her cheeks puffed up, "Well...the life in Neverwinter really lives up to its reputation, even dry food can be so delicious."

"Hit, burrow? Did you take me for a mole!"

"It's pretty much the same."

"Well... you'd better save some food," Iffy sighed, "I don't want to go hungry when I go back."

"Hmph, I also don't want to listen to the witches of the Bloodfang Society." The other party tilted his head, "I heard that you once tried to persuade Her Highness Tilly, if it were me, let alone dried meat, I wouldn't even give you wheat cakes." .”

Iffy rolled her eyes immediately.

"That's enough," Ashes said helplessly, "It's not their fault that they joined the Bloodfang Society. If Tilly hears this, she will definitely teach you a lesson."

It was another guy who was too low-energy, Ashes sighed in his heart, this witch who knew that she was not worried just by looking at her clothes was exactly the track, but she happened to be an indispensable role for this operation.

The ability of trajectory is incredible. Before she was a minor, she could use magic to create an invisible passage connecting two places. This passage cannot be seen with the naked eye, and there is no distance. In other words, she can travel from one place to another in an instant. If there is a barrier such as a door or a wall between the two, the trajectory will seem to disappear suddenly. As long as the ability is not interrupted, the channel will always exist.

However, the limited range of magic power still exists, and the length of the two places cannot exceed twenty steps at most. If she is used as the starting point, this distance will be shortened to ten steps.

As an adult, the branch ability "Magic Imprint" of Track Awakening has greatly improved the practicability and application range of the channel. By giving the imprint, she can make others see and use the channel. Even if someone without a mark knows where the passage is, they can't stop her from moving freely.

Of course, this ability also has certain dangers. For example, after giving the mark and letting the enemy enter the passage, and dispelling the ability before the opponent has completely crossed over, what you get is half of the body that appears in two places respectively.

Relying on the cooperation of Lian and Jiji to open up a broken bridge-like passage underground that no one knows or realizes, this is exactly the plan made by Tilly. Even if the enemy can find a burrow, they cannot use it to locate the witch. By the time the devils realize that there are many such caves, they have already escaped for miles, so theoretically speaking, it is a perfectly safe plan.

The group's route of action is to start from the Hidden Forest, take Agatha's stone tower as the origin, and head northeast. The advantage is that the forest on the side of Neverwinter City has been completely controlled by the leaves, so there is no need to worry about the threat of hybrid evil beasts.

However, in actual operation, Ashes discovered a thorny problem. During the rehearsal, the distance of a few hundred feet would hardly cause deviation, but after stretching it dozens of times, it was difficult for them to confirm their position. Although the direction is corrected through the stars every night, no one knows whether it is right or not.

"Would you like to check the map Lorgar brought back?" Lian looked at Ashes, "Maybe we can find one or two landmarks. As long as we can determine the location, we can know how far the ruins are from us."

Ashes nodded, but didn't hold much hope in her heart.

Those bird nests, beehives and bear dens painted on it are really used to guide the way? Perhaps only Lightning and Maggie could find the correct direction based on the map.

"Shh!" Iffy suddenly made a silent gesture.

The three fell silent immediately.

Soon, they heard heavy footsteps above their heads, and the number of steps was chaotic, which proved that there were at least four to five people. Considering that mixed-breed evil beasts seldom act in groups, the source of the sound is most likely coming from the devil's patrol team.

After a while, the footsteps were far away from them. Obviously, the enemy didn't notice the mystery hidden in the ground at all.

This is already the second time today.

Probably the wolf girl's attack made them increase the number of people on alert.

It wasn't until the voice completely disappeared that Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, "This at least proves that we are heading in the right direction."

"The problem is that you can't see the city ruins, so you can't place the light curtain accurately," Lian shook her head. "If the phantom instrument is to be used as a warning, the light curtain should be five to six miles southwest of the ruins. In this way Come on, as long as there are terrifying beasts flying to the western region, they will all be seen by Taquila witches."

After thinking for a while, Ashes decided, "It's better to go another night today. At dusk tomorrow, I will fly up to observe the direction of the Taquila ruins."
