"Mr. Rhodes! We found it!"
Hearing this sound, Rhodes looked back immediately. I saw Metz standing at the door of the church with a surprise, holding an exquisite statuette in his hand, engraved with a Gargoyle curled up together, two The eyes, which is only made of ruby fragments, is vaguely glowing with a faint distribution. That is the control center!
And Metz's shouting also attracted the attention of Gargoyle. As alchemy lifeform, of course they knew what the other party was holding. Soon, two Gargoyles immediately shifted their direction and rushed to Metz.
"Wuaa!"
Seeing two terrible monsters rushing towards themselves, the Metz scared the can't help but with a cry. He subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, and at this moment, the Rhodes' voice had already been heard.
"Throw it over!"
Although looking at these two fierce monster, Metz has the illusion that they will be completely torn by them at the next instant, he still put his scalp on his head and threw out the black one in his hand, making a beautiful statue .
It must be said that the quasi-head of Fat Merchant is really not very good. The thing he threw crossed an arc in the air, but it deviated skewly from the original orbit. simply did not throw it to at Rhodes' side, but flew beyond those two Gargoyle. In the past, if an uninformed person saw this scene, he might think that Fat Merchant and the two Gargoyle were together. In the face of the big gift sent to the door, Gargoyle was also shocked, but it still subconsciously extended its claws and tried to hold this small statue.
But just as it was about to succeed, a breeze flew underneath it, and the Soul Bird, which had almost lost its shape, carried a series of translucent fluctuations in the air, and snatched the statue.
This is the last strength of Rhodes. When he was exhausted, he had to put away his long sword, and at the same time his right hand was up, snapped a finger.
With this sound, Soul Bird swept gracefully in the air, and then flew towards Rhodes. The two Gargoyle stopped adult form immediately and re-directed.
"Uh !!!"
The Gargoyle running on the ground turned over, and the thick and slender tail was suddenly thrown. heavily hit the Soul Bird. Although it did not cause much damage, the package, the cyan wind element hovering around the Soul Bird is Quietly, even the figure with birds is crooked.
The Blue Bird did not give up. It still tried its best to flap its wings, wiped quickly from the ground, and flew towards its own Master.
But it did not reach its destination as expected.
A giant claw of stone-made descended from the sky and penetrated the body of the blue bird. The disordered wind element could no longer maintain the strength that condensed the body, and it suddenly disappeared into the most primitive existence. And the black statue with originally in the mouth by the bird flew out, but soon, two dark figures came chasing from behind, they extended their claws, opened their mouths, and reached the statue ——— in front of them Until it falls quietly and smoothly into in Rhodes' hand.
"Aig!"
Rhodes' is not very loud, and even a little deep. But the black shadows attacked by originally produced a change at the moment —— originally and the shiny body became dull and dull in the blink of an eye, the limb stretched in the air stopped as if it were frozen, and the Gargoyle surface was originally burning The strange red light also disappeared in an instant.
Then two black shadow passed by with Rhodes, and heavily hit the ground behind him.
"Boom !!!"
With the collision sound, the Gargoyle that got the power changed back to the original sculpture, they kept the fluttering movement just now, and at this moment calm was lying on the ground not far behind Rhodes. However, after being supported by magic power, they are not as hard as before. Under this collision, both Gargoyle are unavoidably shattered into pieces and causing what were originally artistic sculptures to turn into worthless trash.
"Hu... ........."
It was only then that Rhodes was relieved. At this moment, he only felt fatigued. The excessive consumption of soul strength made his legs so soft that he couldn't even hold his right hand fingers. But on the surface, Rhodes still has a calm expression, his silent standing in place, and the statue was put into his pocket only a moment later.
"Mr. Rhodes!"
And at this moment, Leiya and Metz also ran in front of him, looking at him with a worried and anxious expression.
"Are you all right!?"
"I am fine."
Rhodes took a deep breath, he really wants to sit down and rest for a while. Although in the game, soul strength will consume too much and will have various performances, but the real experience in himself still makes him feel overwhelmed, but he Can't fall down now.
But fortunately, those Demon figures can no longer be seen in the dense fog around them. It seems that after they cannot get close, they finally made the choice of giving up and stayed away from this forbidden land.
Although this does not mean that they have given up, it is a good thing at the moment. But Rhodes did not say much, this is also his habit since Captain, the commander of a team must be calm all the time, can not panic because of a little thing. If you yell because you have a little difficulty, or you are so excited about defeating a strong enemy, then your subordinates will definitely not have any positive impact. Although the current Rhodes is no longer the guild Guild Leader in the guild that governs tens of thousands of player, this habit is still affecting him.
But I have to say that seeing his calm performance made some nervous Leiya and Metz relieved. After all, they were constantly worrying about the situation outside during the rummaging process, for fear of problems. Leiya is working very hard, but Metz is obviously better in identifying items. After all, I found this little statue in a small corner. I have to say that their luck is really good. If it is later, maybe the situation will be completely different.
originally Rhodes' plan was to pass through Misty Ruins at the quickest speed, but the appearance of the two Gargoyle had to make him change his mind. After all, the two Gargoyles almost completely consumed his strength. If you do n’t take a good rest to recover, then the next battle will be more dangerous. So Rhodes finally decided to rest in the church for one night and continue to set off the next day. He doesn't worry about what will happen here. In the Dungeon in the game, this church is also a place where player is used to rest and organize loot, so there will not be any major problems.
Although Metz looked at the darkened church and the creepy decorations on his calves, it ’s a pity as always ... He does n’t have the right to speak against the Rhodes' decision.
The sky slowly darkened.
Dense fog lingers outside the church, looking through the window, nothing could be seen outside besides the vast white blanket of mist. The three sat in the center of the church, and those abandoned, rotten church benches and tables became firewood, and the last bit of residual heat in the burning fire was used. The wind of gloomy and cold was blowing from the broken window gaps and cracks in the walls , With a slight chill.
Leiya reached out cautiously, unhook the bandage on Rhodes's left chest, and then her pretty brow furrowed quietly.
"Cracked again, Mr. Rhodes."
"I know."
Rhodes nodded, did n’t say much. In fact, this is not the first time. After all, along the way, Rhodes is fighting in front. Although considering the chest injury, he has tried to avoid using his left hand, but he ca n’t take care of when he encounters some particularly annoying troubles. So many, and this also caused his wound to crack from time to time. According to Leiya's, it would have been a good injury after only two or three days of rest, so it might not be possible to recover for more than ten days.
However, there is no way for girls to complain. After all, it ’s for them, so the only thing Leiya can do is to help Rhodes replace the clean bandage every day to avoid wound infection. Fortunately, before leaving airship, as a Healer her There is no less care for these things.
After the bandage was taken apart, the wounds reflected in the firelight made everyone can't help but's suck in a cold breath of air, Metz and even felt their own chest with a lingering fear, somewhat scared looked at Rhodes''s chest. There, black claw marks like arm thickness appear on the chest of Rhodes', and there are black scars formed by blood on all sides, and because of the fierce battle with Gargoyle, many scars have been torn apart, bright red Blood oozes out of it and mixes with those blackened blood clots, which makes people feel cold in their hearts.
Leiya took out the handkerchief, poured some clean water from the kettle, and then pressed it on the chest of Rhodes', which made the latter's body twitch naturally, and even Metz showed an unbearable gaze, turning his head indirectly, not wanting Look again.
"Yes, sorry, does it hurt?"
"Nothing."
Facing Leiya's inquiring inquiry, Rhodes shook his head. Although it hurts a lot, it hasn't reached an intolerable level.
After hearing Rhodes' ’s answer, Leiya breathed a sigh of relief and continued to wipe the wound on Rhodes. At the same time, the girl also began to secretly look at the young man who was slightly larger than herself.
Frankly speaking, when I first met, Rhodes left Leiya's with a very general impression, because he was very beautiful and his skin was very white, so Leiya subconsciously regarded him as a Noble child. However, because Rhodes''s attitude is not as arrogant as those of Noble children who have seen Leiya, Leiya can still accept it, but at that time she did not take the other party too seriously. Most of the first impressions are weak.
But then, the view of Leiya's slowly changed.
Unlike the children of Noble who have no hands, this young man has a very strong strength, which is no less than his own Captain, and his character is very calm. It will make people feel very following him. Relief, even in the face of danger, will not panic. And unlike his appearance, this is a very strong man.
Leiya knows how painful this injury is. She has treated many people as Healer, even the fiercest men on the battlefield who fought without fear would scream and struggle when treating their wounds, but Rhodes has not hummed from beginning to end, let alone, he still carries such a heavy injury Fight in front ...
Leiya's hand stopped all of a sudden.
What are you thinking about? It's really everything in disorder.
The girl shook her head and left those weird thoughts behind her head. Then, she continued her work.
Rhodes did not notice the strangeness of the girls around him. At this moment, his attention was focused on his right hand, and in the center of his palms, two gems with dark-red glory were lying.
That's one of the loot that Rhodes got from this battle, Gargoyle Heart.
