Chapter 254 Lina's worries
Silence is the most appropriate description of the camp at night. In an environment where there is almost no form of life, silence is the only melody. The campfire is not lit. In the hot north, especially in the hot forest of death, there is no need for flames to warm the body. In the terrifying forbidden area of creatures, there is no need for flames to disperse beasts and mosquitoes. Therefore, there is no burst of flames burning in the camp. In this quiet and crazy world, what you can hear is the sound of cracking inside the rocks, the sound of gravel rolling down with the wind, and even the sound of loess floating up into the air and falling quietly into the ground. Of course, you can also vaguely hear the girls' uniform breathing, the murmurs in their sleep, and the low snoring of a lion in their sleep.
The camp was dim, and only a crystal energy lamp was lit in the middle of the camp, illuminating the narrow area of the central area. Of course, this was not because of the decision made by a female knight to save crystals, or, in other words, it was not all? The main reason was that it was not necessary. Yes, there was no need to light the camp too brightly, because for this team, it was no longer based on eyes to seek enemies.
On the top of the camp wall, twelve strange-style crystal-energy barrels were installed in all directions. The muzzle was facing the camp, and it was also swaying regularly. Except for the mechanic, no one could know how these crystal-energy guns were able to seize the enemy. However, as long as any large object outside the camp moves, the crystal-energy gun covering this angle will shoot crystal-energy bombs as soon as possible, no matter what the moving object is. Everyone is not worried about causing accidental injuries. On the one hand, it is almost impossible for friendly troops to approach here.
On the other hand, even if there are friendly forces, those who can get here smoothly will not be injured by the crystal-energy bomb. The existence of the crystal-energy bomb is more for early warning. The defense in the second circle is 136 magic runes, which form a strange magic array. It covers the entire camp area. Any behavior that enters the range of the magic array will trigger a large-scale fire explosion at the corresponding location. Even the most powerful thief. Unless you can fly in mid-air, it is difficult to invade the camp without triggering the magic array.
The two defenses combined can almost make the camp safe without warning power. However, for the sake of safety, there is a third warning measure. In fact, the third warning does not require any preparation for the team. Large areas of gravel outside the camp are the best warning measure. These gravels are piled on the surface. As long as they step on the gravel, they cannot make no sound. The sound will become particularly obvious in such a quiet world. Even the sound of gravel collisions hundreds of meters away can be easily heard by the night watchmen in the camp. Under the triple defense, according to Pannis, even the strongest sand man assassin of the contemporary era, Ask cannot quietly invade the camp, let alone other enemies.
Inside the camp, Panis was half lying next to the original campfire location, holding a book to kill time with the light of the crystal lamp. A few meters away from him, a bald female priest wearing a white priest robe and leather armor were patrolling the center of the camp from time to time. To outsiders, these two vigilants were really irresponsible, but for those who knew them, there was nothing wrong with them. Although the priest girl did not carry any powerful lights to light them when she was patrolling, she did not carry any powerful lights to light them.
Every corner of the camp, however, the energy fluctuations in the corners of her eyes clearly showed that the real vision of the magical art was operating effectively. Under the magical art, even without lights, everything you see can be truly fed back into the girl's mind in black and white, and there is nowhere to hide from any illusion or invisibility. As for Pannis, although he was just a lazy group reading in the center of the camp, with his keen perception, in this quiet night, he could even hear footsteps a mile or two away. It was more effective than any defensive and alert measures.
Lina, who was inspecting, seemed to sense something. She suddenly pulled up the hood behind the priest's robe and covered her head with only one or two centimeters long hair. She looked around with a vigilant look and said suspiciously in the lowest voice: "I always feel a malice and mocking look at my hair. It must be yours, Panis."
"Hahaha, no, no, I really didn't laugh. How could I do this?" Panis's eyes were vaguely avoiding Lina's glare, and said with a slight look on his face, "Look, am I not reading books at all, no distractions, hahaha."
"Hmph, don't try to get away with it." The priest girl made a cute face and waved her fair fists threateningly and said, "Now I'm afraid of waking up my sister and the others, so I'll spare you first and settle the score with you when it's dawn."
"I'm really innocent." Panis muttered with grievance, but the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be stopped: "Actually, sometimes I think you are still very wise."
"What?" Lina asked in confusion: "Why did I know why I suddenly talk about this?"
Panis grinned and pointed at the top of his head, blinking strangely, saying, "It's so hot here, only like you can feel cooler. You should recommend that they all learn from you and put their hair...hey, you're on the night patrol."
"Bastard Pannis, wait for me." The responsibility of the vigil made the priest girl unable to free up her hands to punish Pannis, so she could only snort unwillingly, turning her head to look at his silly face.
"How about it, don't be sleepy." Panis's face still had the same smile that made people want to hit people. He lay down again and raised his legs, waved the book in his hand and said, "Your sister Katerina, the past experience is really rich. I finally know why you are so crazy now."
"Is that so? Hehe." This time the priest girl was not angry, but just glanced at Panis with a pity with her eyes as if she was looking at the dead, and said, "Catrina said that she will encourage the blood girl to find you to exercise her body tomorrow morning, and I agreed."
"Hey, is it really appropriate for you to do this?" Penis, who thought of the crazy bloodthirsty woman, had a headache and covered her face with the book in her hand and moaned: "Ah, I'm injured, so I'm going to rest from tomorrow."
"Hmph, I'll let you be really bedridden by then." Lina wrinkled her nose and smiled mischievously. She was obviously in a happy mood. She hummed an unknown nursery rhyme gently and patrolled the camp for a few more times. She whispered as if she suddenly remembered something: "Pennis, some time ago, when we were still with those demigods, were you worried?"
"I have always had my worries, every day." Panis said without raising his head: "From the morning I have to think about what to eat today? Where to drink today? To peep today, no no, no, to appreciate the beauty from where to study these is very energy-consuming."
"Don't joke with you." Lina rolled her eyes, but although she was talking, her eyes were still staring at the outer circle of the camp and said with her back: "I have a feeling that you wanted to say to us at that time, but in the end she said nothing."
"It's really like what they said. Your feeling is always very keen with no reason. Is this the intuition of a small animal?" Panis sighed, closed the book in his hand and sat up, and said seriously: "Yes, I did have something to say to you in that time, apologize to you, and the most important thing is to apologize to Catherine."
"Apology?" Lina was stunned. After thinking about it, she realized it. She stroked her side face with her fingers and said, "Sister is injured that time here."
"Yes, she almost died at that time." Panis nodded, "To be precise, each of you was almost chosen to die at that time."
"What's there to apologize for this? Since we have decided to come here with you, who wouldn't be prepared to die at any time?" Lina said indifferently: "Everyone has been awakened long ago."
"But if I remind you to be alert in advance, there would be no such danger." Panis said: "But I did not remind you in advance."
"You have reminded me many times, but we just ignored it." Lina shook her head during the inspection and said, "And, isn't this your purpose? Let reality strengthen our memory."
"Uh, hahaha." Panis smiled awkwardly but did not deny it.
"We are not fools. Although we didn't react at the time, we would naturally understand your intention after thinking about it for a moment." Lina said softly: "So, you don't need to apologize at all, because we have never blamed you. We believe you will never harm us, so we will believe you unconditionally when you do anything."
"Yes, I wanted to say it a few times in the middle, but Catherine changed the subject, and then I understood, and she didn't want me to apologize." Panis said: "But why did you suddenly talk about this?"
"It's nothing, I suddenly remembered it." Lina hesitated for a moment, felt that Panis's eyes were staring at her back, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, my sister said just now that we are getting closer and closer to the temple of Danakus, and there is a possibility of finding a target at any time. So I think, these things should be told to you, because I'm worried..."
"I'm worried that I won't have a chance in the future?" Seeing Lina, who was patrolling with her back, the expression on Panis's face became softer and softer. He shook his head and said softly: "Don't worry, I will do my best to prevent everyone from losing this opportunity... Don't move, why do I feel that the light in the position you are facing is changing?"
"I didn't notice it." Lina was stunned for a moment, quickly dissipating the real vision in front of her, and then the color in front of her was restored: "It's true that there is no change, I'll go over and take a look."
However, before she could take a step, Panis grabbed the crystal-energy gun beside her and activated the magic circle towards the sky. The deafening gunshot sounded in the quiet night.
