Volume 2 Chapter 20 (2/2)
“Cain!” Ellen shushed hi off to sole-handedly?”
“No matter,” Rowenna looked at Ellen, her tense expression somewhat eased “I’ve heard of your deeds If you hadn’t helped, I’m afraid even my master’s recovery efforts would have been in vain”
“Well, getting back to the task at hand,” Ellen coughed, “I’d like for Cain to look after Shelly, while Miss Silva and I back up Julian Is this alright?”
“I don’t mind either way,” the half-elf said, “and please, call ood,” Cain serous, just hide behind me”
“Okay,” Shelly said “Cain, are you sure it’s not you who’ll hide behind ue with you” Cain turned away
“I …” seeing both Ellen and Rowenna looking at hirew red “I … I’ll try not to cause trouble, so … you won’t have to take care ofcare of you,” Rowenna said “In this regard, we aren’t quite that skilled We’ll be relying on you as well”
“I … I’ll do my best,” Julian whispered
“Then it’s settled” Ellen stood up “We’ll double-check our gear and head out”
The Miracle Forest was an ancient one, filled with lush trees that had been steadily growing for hundreds of years Fortunately, there were plenty of gaps between branches, and the atmosphere of the forest wasn’t too dark
The rain had finally stopped The leaves were coated in small droplets which occasionally dripped down to the forest floor Except for their footsteps, there was no sound; even the birds were silent For about ten n of any ical creatures
“When all this is over, we should have a picnic here!” Shelly said
“Usually, the constructs are active here,” Rowenna said “You don’t want to fight giant rats and living thorns while you eat, right?”
“Woah!” Shelly exclai tho- wah!”
“Shut up,” Cain flicked his forehead
“Rowenna, are you sure the constructs have been shut down?” Ellen suddenly spoke
“Yes”
“Well,” the elf pointed ahead of them, “One of them’s woken up”
Before any of them had the chance to ask what hedown the path from deeper inside the forest, dozens of snake-like vines rithing towards them
“Shelly, Julian,” Ellen nocked an arrow, “The first round of attack goes to you”
With a whisper froht blazed out of the dwarf and the siren
The “prod” is the bow part of the crossbow
The term used for “yeood” is “紫衫木” which is used in traditional Chinese medicine
An arbalist is soentleood iical creatures Rowenna is referring to were e suspects that the constructs were destroyed by theate
They’ve finally set out on their quest! How exciting! I feel kind of bad for Julian, he’s a nervous wreck in this chapter … let’s hope he and Rosanna do well in the next chapter!
