Chapter 60 (1/2)
Scream!
Alfred turned from lying still to half kneeling. He glanced at Sean from the corner of his eyes, but found that he was still asleep and didn't wake up because of the scream. Listening attentively, it seemed that the underground cave was in the art of silence. Except for the breathing sound of each other in the small cave, we could no longer hear the slightest sound of the outside world.
Cecilia has stood up, the heavy magic books have been closed, and her pretty face also shows a dignified color. Compared with Alfred's judgment based on sound, Cecilia has more judgment methods: ”there are traces of magic fluctuation.”
”Which side?” Alfred stood up suddenly, and his whole momentum changed in an instant, like a scabbard sword, sharp and fierce.
Cecilia stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction they had come before: ”this magic wave is very rough and primitive, not like human magic.”
”None of the tails behind us has a magician.” Alfred knew exactly what the mercenaries in the village of seroda who would commit banditry were. After all, even though the existence of magicians was a common profession in the kingdom of potoroa, they would not casually join those mercenaries who had no future.
The so-called mercenary group combination like Cecilia and Sean is already a fault in the eyes of many people.
It's nothing else. It's just a matter of face.
Alfred knew that there were many tails behind him. In fact, it was not simply because Sean was rich. He still took a fancy to Cecilia - her talent and appearance, which was a mistake.
At the moment, he stood at the entrance of the small karst cave and was on alert.
On the other side of the channel, there was really no sound. It seemed that everything was quiet. In this case, no one knows what the scream just now means, but what we can clearly know is that it is by no means a good thing, and the sound is so close to the small cave. No wonder Alfred and Cecilia are nervous.
After waiting for a while and finally confirming that there was no sound, Alfred relaxed a little. After a while, he found that his clothes had been soaked with sweat, and his concentration and vigilance had a great spiritual consumption. It can be seen that he would never be too cautious to explore in an underground passage, because the so-called underground passage is often connected with the underground city world, No one is sure if they will meet creatures from the dungeon world here.
Even though Sean has made it clear that this underground passage cannot be connected with the underground world, Alfred is still unwilling to maintain this optimism - of course, it is also because he does not know the details of Sean. Compared with Cecilia's unreserved trust and obedience, Alfred even if he really joined this group, But he still has reservations and views on some things.
He will choose to obey Sean's orders and commands, but it does not mean that there is no doubt. After all, this is also due to his character and principles.
”Let's get out of here.” Alfred turned to Cecilia and said, ”it's not safe here. The voice just now is very close to here. I'm afraid it will be very dangerous if you continue to stay.”
”But Sean...” Cecilia turned her head and looked at Sean. She found that he was sleeping too well. People as vigilant as him were not awakened by the scream just now, which shows how tired he was.
”I can only wake him up.” Alfred thought for a moment. He didn't mind carrying Sean on his back, but in this case, he couldn't deal with the attack immediately, which was really irresponsible to the whole team.
Cecilia also understood Alfred's concerns, so she reached out and pushed Sean a few times, but found that he was still asleep. Alfred shook his head and said, ”you can't do this.” then he came over himself, reached out and slapped Sean in the face, directly waking Sean up.
Simple, rough and effective.
Sean, who had just been woken up, was still a little confused. His pupils couldn't focus. His eyes were obviously free. He covered half of his face and didn't know what he was looking at.
Seeing Sean, Alfred reacted. It turned out that Sean had hypoglycemia!
He doesn't know. This is because Sean has a sequelae after using ”adrenal stimulation”. After being stimulated by a change, his blood glucose index now enters a quiet period. Therefore, it will produce a situation similar to hypoglycemia, but it is actually different from hypoglycemia. But Alfred didn't know it. He just thought Sean had this disease, so the next second he tore open a packet of compressed fast food dry food, took out the sugar pills and stuffed them into Sean's mouth. At the same time, he kept patting Sean's face so that he could wake up completely.
Subconsciously chewing the sugar pill in his mouth, Sean's focal length finally began to return to normal. Looking at Alfred's serious face, Sean subconsciously asked, ”what's the matter?”
”There may be an enemy near here.” Alfred skillfully outlined the scream just now, and made his own inference, ”I think we should leave here now.”
