Chapter 594 - Confused Heart (II) (2/2)
Lize laid down the utensils and wiped her lips with a handkerchief before standing up and pressing the creases on her clothes Rhode nodded in satisfaction before sweeping a glance to Anne atching them curiously
“You went back for a rest early yesterday, so you weren’t aware of the possible dangers on the route toward Emerald Valley We heard fro havoc there, so weAnne along to check on the situation During this period, I hope you can purchase some supplies from the market, so we can have some suitable food for ourselves after we enter the Elf Doh the Elves don’t treat wild aniet under the Elves’ nerves if we hunt wild animals under their watch I’ll leave this ht, Mr Rhode No problee After breakfast, she left the inn and headed into theenviron with her However, unsure if she was held back by Rhode’s gazes or due to the conflict from the day before, Anne sat quietly beside hi that Lize wasn’t within their sight any with on the table and stood to his feet, caressing the sword hilt by his waist lightly
“Get ready to erous this time, so be prepared”
“Yes, Leader No problem!”
Anne raised her shi+eld and responded with a smile
This was the final solution Rhode had co Lize along Considering her unstable emotions, and he felt that safety was the main priority However, it wouldn’t be kind of hi a proper reason This hy Rhode came up with this excuse to occupy her, while Anne and the little h they would be without a Cleric’s support and healing, the little mermaid who had been by his side wasn’t just there for display After experiencing battles along the way, Snow had leveled up several times and she currently had 8 Offense and 12 Defense, which was coh-defense Nether Tentacles Moreover, the little mermaid had also learned quite a few support skills, which included ‘Healing Rain’, ‘Frozen Barrier’, ‘Water Cell’, and ‘Detoxify’ Even though these support skills weren’t as powerful as a Cleric’s, they had the upper hand on variety and were useful to a certain extent Rhode was confident that the little mermaid could stand in for Lize’s absence
Emerald Valley wasn’t far from Blackberry Town It took the trio two hours to arrive at their destination and the merciless, afternoon sun was at its peak Exuberant trees spread across the Country of Law borders and Emerald Valley was no exception Lush shrubs and forest could be seen everywhere, and the strea the river course Nornificent
However, it was entirely different here
Chaos had eroded the edge of Order The warht had become dark and dull Even the bushes on either sides looked like pitch-dark nests as though h the river silently like a thick layer of grease
“Leader, is this the place?”
Anne furrowed her brows Rhode had told Anne everything about the Mind Devil along the way However, she didn’t expect that the invasion of Chaos could actually turn such a beautiful place into this unbearable state
“That’s right, we’re here”
Rhode nodded slightly and gestured to the little mermaid The little ht She swiped her tiny webbed hands to the side and a trail of light e clear bubbles out of the water ball and cooled the sultriness Then, specks of ice crystal crystallized around theh the ice shi+eld wasn’t as powerful as a Cleric’s protective barrier, it would still be useful in resisting ao”
Rhode drew the twin daggers from his waist in a smooth motion while Anne took down the shi+eld from her back and the trio entered Emerald Valley
It was noon
“Hu…”
Lize wiped the sweat beads off her forehead and gazed at the iteed neatly before her It was already noon and Rhode and Anne hadn’t returned yet Lize felt ill at ease She walked to theand gazed out with complicated emotions However, the view of Blackberry Town failed to assure the young lady’s anxious spirits Rhode suspected that Lize had taken the initiative to join their journey into the Elf Do after witnessing Anne’s actions
Anne was an adorable, straightforward young lady ell-defined likes and dislikes, which were her good points But now, they had become the reasons that Lize orried thethe way and tried to pluck up her courage to compete with Anne However, the more she observed, the less confident she felt She wasn’t as cheerful and outgoing as Anne, and she couldn’t disregard others’ opinions like Anne could Lize wished that she could be like Anne—rely on Rhode Wrap her arms around his arms Speak to him casually about daily topics However, she just couldn’t do it Whenever she tried to, so from deep in her heart always stopped her
I want, but I don’t dare to
I can’t do it
aze into the rooht Anne along to check on the situation and he left me here Lize didn’t wish for this to happen She didn’t want Rhode to be alone with Anne
She equally disliked having such thoughts, but…
“Why is Mr Rhode not back yet…”
Lize murmured After a few h she had ain, but this ti worriedly anyaze on the indistinct mountain in the distance
into Emerald Valley to check on the situation…
