Chapter 130 (1/2)
Loren couldn't remember exactly when the sun rose.
After the battle, the team kept moving towards the big tree wall at full speed, and didn't even have a rest on the way.
The agile elves and dancers leaped from tree to tree, as if their feet were not fragile branches, but flat land. Every time a light step passes, the slightly shaking branches become the stepping stones of the latter person, and the reciprocating doesn't stop.
And where they passed, they could not even see a falling leaf or a falling branch. It seemed that only a gust of wind blew gently, and in the twinkling of an eye, the woods were quiet again.
The endless journey can't even leave a drop of sweat on the foreheads of these war dancers. Just a little more tired color on their cheeks, slightly slowed down their speed.
In contrast, the ”slow” black haired wizard has become the last one in the whole team - no matter what, the human body structure is different from the elves. Without using ”beyond perception”, Loren can't walk between the branches like the war dancers.
In addition, the consumption of two high-level magic spells has reduced the energy and physical strength of the black haired wizard. If you run fast on the ground, you may still be able to persist, but you must pay attention to your feet when walking in trees. A mistake may lead to a slip and death.
Even if I have practiced under Luca's training before departure, it is still a world away from these war dancers, and I can only barely keep up.
”Pa!”
The branch at his feet suddenly broke in two. The black haired wizard hanging in the air lost weight in an instant, and his body couldn't find any place to borrow!
At the moment of falling, one hand suddenly grabbed his forearm. At the same time, Loren put his foot on the trunk and finally didn't fall directly from the tree.
”Thank you very much!”
The fairy who heard Loren's voice didn't even look back, but snorted coldly: ”you are the special envoy of the count and the key to the alliance between Morningstar forest and the Duke. Your life is more important than all of us!”
”Even so, I must thank you.” the panting Loren still smiled and followed closely behind the Female Elf: ”I thought you would want me to die.”
After all, euena died at my hands... Loren didn't say it, but of course LIA knew what he meant and didn't answer.
”Do you think this is the first time I've seen my friend killed by an ogre?” Leah, who ran in front of Loren, asked, ”do you think this is the first time I've fought an ogre?”
”If you really want to make euena's death meaningful, try your best to think about how to convince the elders!”
Leia glanced at Loren behind her: ”but before that, you have to survive - although you don't know what tricks you used at that time, you can only use that big fireball once, right?”
Tired Lauren smiled, neither admitting nor opposing.
”Luca taught you how to walk on a tree, but he said it too hastily. Your pace is still no different from that on the flat ground. It's amazing that you only make one mistake now.”
”... sorry, are you praising me or hurting me?”
”I'm telling the truth.” Leia's voice returned to its original appearance, so straightforward that it didn't even have any obscurity, and it didn't look like she was angry last night.
”If you don't want to fall down again, correct your steps and see how we act - although human bodies are heavier than elves, it should be possible to imitate as much as possible.”
Indeed, the ELF's body is lighter and thinner than human beings, and its slender limbs are more powerful and more suitable for jumping and running, but this does not mean that human beings can't do it.
For Lauren, there is nothing more frustrating than admitting defeat. In essence, he is also a person who can't afford to lose, especially in what he is good at.
Standing still, the war dancers are more like flying out of thin air than relying on force. It is clear that the weight and inertia of their bodies are enough to break the branches, but they leave no trace like a dragonfly.
