Chapter 388 Akasha's Embrace

The chaotic battlefield finally calmed down, and the surrounding "element density" also returned to normal levels. Akasha drank a bottle of potion and rescued the seriously injured soldiers from the death line - because the rescue was timely, these soldiers who had just lined up All the infantry who charged towards Lucius survived.

And because of the death of the Frost Dragon Wissam, the evenly distributed huge amount of experience made everyone collectively soar by 6 levels

These soldiers were the scouts who fought with Rody and Soderol at the border. When they entered the forest, their basic level was at level 2 on average, but now their average level has reached level 17, and their attributes have risen sharply, almost reaching double the extent.

Soderol's advanced "Ghost Rider" has been upgraded to level 6, and the basic level has been raised to level 15; Nata's basic level has reached level 14; Akasha's advanced level has reached level 10, becoming the highest level in the team people.

And because of the "Dragon Slayer Mark", everyone in this team has obtained attribute -0, full resistance fl6 and permanent BUF immune to most spiritual magic, and their combat effectiveness can be called "reborn" compared to before.

It's just that although the harvest is rich, what everyone can feel after the battle is not excitement, but only rejoicing.

"It's not easy to survive..."

Sodlor sat wearily on a collapsed stone pillar, and looked up at Rody, "Being able to meet a dragon and a mage of that level will be something to brag about in this lifetime."

He seems to be in good spirits, but Rody understands the hidden worry in the other party's words - the battle with Lucius, after all, the team's strategy has not worked at all, if Merlinsera did not use "Dragon Power", then all Everyone will be the result of group destruction.

"The mage who escaped is not simple. Even if he is ranked high on the entire continent, it is normal for us to be unable to beat him now." Rody sat down next to Soderol, and then whispered: "But that doesn't mean we can't beat him for the rest of our lives. After five years, you can kill him by yourself. Believe it or not?"

"I don't believe it," Soderol said with a sigh, "but you even slaughtered the dragon, what else can I not believe?"

His eyes turned to the corpse of the ice dragon, with deep awe and sigh in his eyes: "This is a real dragon..."

Although Rody's "Dragon Slaying" has a lot of water in it, he can't deny the fact that he completed the "final blow". Soderol's words reminded Rody of what he just did— —He turned his head and found that the soldiers were running over to watch the dragon corpse one by one. Even Nata was standing not far away, staring at the dragon in a daze.

Roddy was indeed a little excited and proud, after all, he had accomplished something that ordinary people would never dare to dream of.

However, the feeling of "complacency" was quickly suppressed... After all, I was still too weak. If the Holy Council sent a mage of Lucius' level to come to my door, I am afraid that the current city of Elson would not be able to stop the opponent at all.

"That sentence just now is not a joke. In five years, it is not difficult for us to slay dragons with our own abilities."

Rody thought about the future development route, picked up an arrow, and drew two areas on the ground: "But we need to adjust the direction of resource use...

"Direction? Is the current strategy not good?" Soderol asked a little strangely.

"Currently, we are still using resources in the common way of nobles... Although this way seems stable and does not have much risk, in fact its development speed cannot keep up with the speed of the enemy's invasion."

Rody paused for a moment, and then asked: "How much do you think Elsa Village has helped our development?"

"It's huge. It can even be said that the current Palling and Elson City are basically supported by the income of Elsa Village."

Suo Deluoer's mind was quick, and he immediately realized what Rody meant, and asked, "Do you want to build more 'Elsa Village,'?"

Roddy nodded: "It's just a small and inconspicuous area, but because of its location and some special reasons, it has the same income capacity as a large territory. There are many."

"Sounds like a gold mine."

"That's right. When there is no way to acquire more territory, if we want to acquire more resources as soon as possible, we need to work hard on such places."

"But the special products of Elsa Village require a lot of manpower for transfer and sales. We can do this in Efta, but what about going to other places?"

Soderol frowned, feeling that this was not feasible.

"What is the richest group on this continent?"

Roddy suddenly changed the question.

"Royal family? Nobility? Who else but them?"

"The Pharmacists' Association, the Elementalists' Association, the Enchanters' Association... Even the royal family has to spend a lot of money to support these magicians."

"Herbs, enchanted ores, rare monsters, ancient formulas, etc., they are far more valuable than wine and food, and it is easier to quickly accumulate wealth."

Soderol knew the nobles better, but he really didn't have a deep understanding of the "mage", but he knew that Rody was not a big talker, so he didn't refute anything, nodded and said: "We'll talk about it when we get back safely. "

"Establish a camp, take the team and search the cave with me in an hour."

"no problem."

Soderol got up to make arrangements, while Rody came to look at the corpse of the frost dragon, and counted the parts that could be used in his heart: the dragon skin can be used as leather armor equipment, and the keel can be used to make various props, including Shields, lances, and even dragon-toothed daggers, and the specific functions of dragon blood and dragon meat, Rody can't confirm yet, but what can be confirmed is that these are all priceless treasures.

Even without the fulfillment of Melinsera's wish, this kind of harvest is amazing, but after everything calmed down, the depression that lingered in his heart once again made him a little bored...

An hour later, Rody entered the cave protected by the barrier with the spar gifted by Melinsera. Unexpectedly, there are more than 700 spars with abundant energy here, and this also means that the "task" of collecting spars has been completed.

The engineering team arrived in the evening, and Luo Di directly let everyone set up camp, preparing to start the return journey tomorrow.

After night fell, Rody asked about Nata's abdominal injury, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he went back to his tent and prepared to rest, but until now, Akasha had never come to sleep with his bed in his arms like before.

For some reason, Roddy suddenly felt empty in his heart.

Before the battle with Lucius, Akasha's hug made him feel in a trance for a moment - thinking about it now, he didn't seem to have the emotion of resistance in it. But it seems that because of that hug, Akasha was so shy that she didn't dare to talk to herself...

Rody didn't know what to say about this.

In his opinion, although Akasha has the highest level, she is totally different from Sally... She has never thought about the word "independence". help.

She dared not come here alone, would she stay up all night because she was afraid of the dark?

Thinking about this in his heart, Rody became more and more worried, but he hesitated for a long time, and he was afraid that he would think too much. Until midnight, he was still uneasy at last, got up and went outside Akasha's tent, looked at the shadow reflected by the bright light of the ring, felt a little grateful for his decision, and said, "I'll sleep outside here, you should go early have a rest."

The light in the tent flickered, but there was no response. Rody didn't think too much, went to the bonfire and made the bed. Before he sat down, he heard Akasha walk out of the tent and came behind him...

"I... I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep, so let's just sleep here." Rody didn't turn his head back, "You've worked hard in today's battle, and the team will leave soon. In the future, we—uh..."

Before Luo Di finished speaking, he found himself being hugged from behind by Akasha again.

She turned her head to the side, her breath was filled with Akasha's faint body fragrance, her hot cheek was pressed against her back, her posture was exactly the same as that in front of the fortress gate.

Feeling strange again, Rody blinked his eyes, didn't move too much, just continued what he had just said: "In the future we... won't come to such a place again."

"Um."

Akasha's answer was full of satisfaction. She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I was... but I really couldn't control myself..."

"I, I know it's inappropriate, but I...can't help it."

Rody didn't try to break free or push her hand away, but asked softly, "Why?"

"I'm stupid, I'm timid, I'm a heathen... But you took me in, and you've been so kind to me, and you've been so kind to me, and I've never been treated like this since I was born—"

"I know this will annoy you, but... I figured you already know what I'm thinking anyway, so, so I want to say..."

Akasha's hands tightened slightly, trying to keep her voice from trembling——

"I like you."

I like you.

It was just a faint sentence, but Roddy was touched unspeakably - because Akasha did not put herself in an equal position with him at all. Constantly apologizing, constantly hesitating, there is no desire to respond to Rody in her words, but only self-blame and anxiety...

She was so cautious, but the more so, the more distressed Rody felt.

It seems that there are countless emotions in my heart - since the "Holy Temple" farewell, Roddy has encountered unprecedented emotional trauma: he thought that he and Nafie would go to the end, but he never thought of meeting again, it would be because of fate Pointless ending.

And the break with Sally pushed everything that was maintained into the abyss.

He thought he would catch everything, but he didn't expect to lose everything in the end.

Akasha's fingers trembled slightly, and Rody's several seconds of silence made her more nervous, but then he sighed slowly, and said softly, "Thank you, Akasha."

He originally wanted to say a lot, but the moment he opened his mouth, all he could say was thank you.

Akasha's confession made him suddenly understand: the past is irreversible, the future is impossible to figure out, and the only thing he can grasp is "now".

Those entangled, lost, and helpless feelings are, after all, just traces left by the old days, and being immersed in them can only make oneself feel more confused and at a loss.

So he sighed softly, finally decided to bid farewell to the old burden, and calmly took his "first step" in the real sense of emotion...

He turned around slowly, looked at the timid Akasha, stretched out his hand, and gently held her slightly cold palm.

[After thinking about it for a long time and changing it for a long time, this chapter may be a bit abrupt, but it is something I insist on writing—a lot of things run counter to the plan. Di is changing, and this kind of change is called "growth". He has made a choice that he has never made, and has taken a step that he has never taken. For his behavior, some people agree with it, and some people don't agree with it, which is perfectly normal. Just like life, when looking back on the past, I often regret a certain choice, but sometimes I am glad that I have come so far. This is how people live in contradictions and move forward alone in contradictions. Even if this is just a YY novel, I want to write something that seems cruel. 】

[Of course, YY novels will not end up as cruel as reality after all, so you can read them with confidence. 】
