Chapter 409 Responsibility

Joy, sadness, helplessness and despair, when these emotions finally found an outlet, Sally really didn't know how to express them, she could only express everything with her actions.

No matter what Rody said or what decision he made, Sally just wanted to hug him tightly and never let go.

And when two hours of searching for a needle in a haystack came to fruition, Rody finally let go of what had been hanging over him.

Sally in her arms was sobbing, at first she tightened her grip, but then she began to hammer his back hard with her fist--

"You bastard!"

"…why did you do this?"

"Why!?"

She never thought that she would throw herself into Rody's arms again... Sally felt joy after being rescued at first when she smelled his body, but then an unspeakable resentment burst out inexplicably--

Why does fate play tricks on people like this?

You are already with that woman, why are you trying so hard to save me?

Luo Di could feel that she was really hitting hard, and he understood why she did that, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say clumsily: "I'm sorry..."

"What's the use of talking now!"

Sally buried her head into his chest with all her might, "If you're angry, I'll just apologize, but why do you use this method to deal with me... What do you want me to do? You bastard!"

Roddy was also a little confused - what should I do? Sally was saved, but how should I treat her in the future?

Is it possible to draw a clear line like before and continue to treat him coldly? That is already impossible...

But…

A never-before-seen idea popped up in his mind, but Rody immediately felt that it was not realistic at all. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the messy thoughts in his mind, and said: "We... need to return to Houlier as soon as possible, the city is facing the threat of the undead plague."

Sally is not a messy girl. Hearing Roddy's words, she wiped her tears vigorously, and then found that she was still in the state of "disguise"—she reached out her hand to wipe off the plasticity, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she found that Roddy picked up a water bag from the side, unscrewed the plug and poured clean water into her palm.

Sally pursed her lips slightly. The tacit understanding between the two of them made her feel a little sweet, but after all, there would still be a touch of bitterness... From now on... Maybe I won't be able to dominate him like this again.

Leave Roddy?

Sally has completely abandoned this idea in her heart.

"That guy touched me a lot of mud, I must be ugly," she lowered her eyes, not wanting Rody to know her thoughts, and tried to talk about the things she encountered along the way in the relaxed tone she used to walk together : "That Carl is a spiritual shadow priest. He wanted to control me and gave me a bottle of potion, but it didn't seem like the potion had much effect, so he still didn't fully control my body."

She washed her cheeks, threw away the chestnut wig, put her short hair behind her ears, and looked into the distance, as if she asked casually: "When I was in town, saw you walking in front of me?" However, I never dared to call you..."

"I actually saw it... from afar."

Roddy could understand Sally's complicated mood at that moment, and she chose to give up calling for help, which made Rody feel extremely indebted -- how many people would give up such an opportunity?

When the two of them were talking, their eyes were looking away. The brief intimate contact just now didn't seem to completely resolve the embarrassment in the relationship, but Rody didn't have time to talk nonsense now. He quickly retrieved the corpses left on the battlefield to confirm that the enemy had no After living alive, these heretics were dragged from both sides of the road into the dense forest.

There is no need to say much about the hatred between "Viper Cross" and Roddy, but there are too many things to be busy now, and it is also a necessary means to delay the time for the other party to learn of the "operation failure".

Pulling Sally to jump on the Kodak, Roddy had to reach out to hold her waist when the stupid bird swayed and took off-this action made Sally's back close to Roddy's chest, The heartbeat of the two people who had been silent for a while increased slightly...

The pintail sand cone flew at low altitude, and the cold wind blowing head-on made Sally close her eyes, and this made her feel the heat from the palm of Rody's abdomen. Her breathing was slightly rapid, and after a moment of hesitation, she finally breathed Biting her lower lip, she took his palm.

"No matter what you choose, I will never let go."

She leaned back slightly, and said to Rody who was at the side of her face.

And Rody squinted at the ground flying past in front of him, silently not knowing how to answer.

*****

The battle that took place in Hollier City finally came to an end with the explosion of the "mutated magic crystal shards".

Wembsk completely disappeared into the flames, and most of the ghouls who followed behind him were also killed. With the help of the two great knights and Akasha, the scene was controlled, and then the front line was pushed back into the square.

With such a battle result, the death of the enemy chieftain is one aspect, and the more reason is that... the Duke of Angmar disappeared into the flames together with the enemy.

As the lord of the city, Angmar did not stand behind the shield, but relied on his old and frail body to die with the enemy--when the soldiers understood what the duke had done, their fighting power exploded almost instantly.

"For Everta!"

The infantry who resisted with shields no longer maintained their nearly collapsed formation. They drew out their long swords one by one, and roared like crazy as they charged into the enemy's formation...

The golden holy light continued to sway, and Akasha forcibly poured down the second bottle of potion she carried with her, picked up a dagger and killed the seriously injured crawling ghoul beside her, and then chanted prayers to kill the wounded ghoul who fell to the ground. Soldiers rescued. When she turned around and looked into the distance, she saw the ghost knight wearing the "sacred shield" carrying five translucent phantoms, quickly harvesting the undead in front of her like a sickle.

The victory was decided, Akasha breathed a sigh of relief, and then panted and leaned against the wall.

The last batch of revived ghouls were forced to the center of the square, and the horn of a full-scale counterattack sounded. Akasha raised her hand and continued to release the "ring of purification", but she staggered a step due to the exhaustion of mana before taking a few steps, and almost sat down. on the ground.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, reached out to touch the potion bottle, and found that the "intermediate mana potion" had been completely consumed...

The lack of mana made Akasha feel an unspeakable sense of crisis, but at this moment, the shadow across the ground of the square rekindled her hope - raising her head, she saw the hovering and landing The pintail sand cone, and soon, the Kodak duck with its wings spread out landed on an open space tens of meters away.

Akasha stepped forward happily, but just as a smile appeared on her face...her figure suddenly stopped in place.

When Rody jumped off the sand cone, Sally behind him never let go of his hand.

Looking at the scene not far away, Akasha pursed her lips, took a few breaths and then turned around silently, retreating into the shadow of the building with some despondency.

But Rody didn't notice the little priest behind him because of the tragic scene in the square. He raised his short bow and joined the battle, and together with Sally, he assisted the army to wipe out the remaining enemies--and when everything was finally over, the system finally A notification sounded that the task was completed.

Rody just glanced around, and then ran towards Akasha in the corner. He looked at the pale little priest, and after confirming that she was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "You need to rest after your mana is exhausted. I'll get someone to help you back. Try not to move."

"Um."

Akasha looked at him seriously, blinked, and then raised her hand—Rhody hurriedly pulled her to stand up, and was about to say something else, but Akasha asked softly: "Can you?" Can't... hold me?"

Rody felt strange about this request, thinking that she was a little scared because of the battle, so he gently hugged Akasha in his arms: "It's all right now... You've done well, the plague hasn't spread, and the city and even the entire territory They were all saved."

However, Akasha didn't respond. She just raised her eyes and looked at Sally for a few seconds.

The expressions of the two women were a little exciting, but only Roddy didn't know about it.

Even though she had made a decision in her heart, seeing Akasha and Rody getting tired of being together, Sally was still very sore in her heart. She pursed her lips and looked away. After casting two "Purification Rings" in a row, she looked at Titus who was walking towards him and asked, "Knight Titus, where is father?"

The soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield around them slowed down, and Titus even stopped in his tracks -- he hesitated for a moment, then slowly took off his helmet and knelt down on one knee.

"This is…"

Sally's pupils tightened suddenly, her breathing quickened, and she whispered, "Impossible...it shouldn't be like this..."

She looked around blankly, and when she spoke again, she was already crying: "Father is in the mansion, isn't he? I'll go back right away...he's waiting for me to go back..."

Sally turned around and wanted to leave, but Titus raised his arm slightly, and slowly raised the Duke's saber in front of Sally.

"Master Duke, he... fought to the last moment."

The long sword broke in the explosion, and only half of it was left. The hilt was melted and deformed by the high temperature. Sally looked at the long sword that had been kept in her father's bedroom, and tears instantly blurred her vision.

Even though she had already made similar preparations in her heart, Sally still couldn't accept it when faced with the cruel facts.

Tears fell to the ground, and Sally wanted to cry out loud, her body even trembling slightly because she wanted to hold back the great grief. However, when she stretched out her hand to hold the hilt of the broken sword, she took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed these emotions in her heart.

Even though the hilt of the sword melted, the words "Luciferon" engraved on it remained unchanged. As the last member of the family, Sally knew that what she took over was not just a weapon, but a weapon that fell on her shoulders. …responsibility. ()
