[Because the host is connected to the core of the Sun Crown, this holy creation can be further improved. Does it need to be completed? Yes or No]
[Additional note: This process will take some time (the exact amount is uncertain) and will also cause a certain degree of fatigue.]
【yes】
[Received, completion begins]
Information flashed in the system, and the rusty sword in Loran Hill's hand seemed to revive, and began to spread circuit-like patterns. As these glowing patterns extended, some dark red rust gradually faded away and turned into pure silver iron again.
Looking at the sword in his hand, Loranhill estimated that it would take a long time to repair it, so he shifted his gaze elsewhere.
The necromancy here is becoming increasingly dense and cold, and it seems it's time to leave.
She put the two swords together, then picked up the torch on the ground with her other hand, shook it slightly to make it burn more vigorously, and then walked in the direction she came from.
The air was filled with the smell of pine oil smoke from the torches, and the long sword flashed from time to time, leaving pale purple sword marks, cutting through the broken steel on the road and opening up a path. Loran Hill avoided the sharp iron spikes on the ground, sensed the surroundings, and found that now, apart from herself, the only ones still alive were the housekeeper and the girl hiding in the corner.
As for Yan Liuyan, he quickly left the underground after being rescued by Loran Hill. As a graduate of Emenes, he had been taught the importance of retreating when the situation became unfavorable. Now without a weapon and injured, he was unfit to participate in the subsequent situation.
Listening to the sudden silence in the ruins hall, the butler felt a surge of anxiety. He rubbed his index finger and thumb restlessly. The calluses on them gave him a sense of solidity, as if he were touching reality. The darkness around him, where no sound could be heard or sight could be seen, was like a deep black hole, swallowing up his outward perception.
He was hesitating at the moment, unable to make up his mind whether to leave or not.
Fortunately, someone finally broke the silence. A girl holding a sword and a torch slowly walked out of the darkness.
Seeing this girl suddenly appear, the butler felt his breathing lighten up. Since this girl was alive, the master should be fine too. He remembered that Mo Ruo had prepared a lot of treasures on him before coming, enough to save his life.
"Let's go back. It's very dangerous here." Loran Hill's clear and gentle voice sounded. As she spoke, her shoes stepped over the debris-covered ground and approached the two of them.
"Where is Lord Mo Ruo? Has Lord Mo Ruo found the treasure?" the butler asked excitedly, his look completely different from his usual calm demeanor.
"Found it..." The girl hesitated for a few seconds and decided not to talk about Viscount Mo Ruo's fate for the time being.
"But this place is about to be destroyed. If possible, let me take you away."
"No, I have to wait for Lord Mo Ruo to come back." The butler shook his head, rejecting the swordsman girl who was running away from the battlefield.
"But....."
"No buts, this is my profession and belief." The butler refused again, saying that he was happy to do so.
"But the child behind you is very scared now. So, why don't you ask her what she thinks?"
"Her? Haha, she is our master's property. I advise you not to meddle in her business." The butler waved his hand and easily refused.
"Is that so..." The girl tilted her head, paused for a few seconds, and then asked the girl behind her directly.
"Would you like to come with me? It's very dangerous here."
"Miss Messiah! Please be careful with your words and actions now. What you are doing is equivalent to stealing and robbing the property of the nobles." The butler drew the rapier from his waist and held it across in front of Loran Hill.
Unfortunately, Loran Hill didn't care about it and continued to ask the girl.
"I...I want to leave..." Perhaps it was those clear eyes that spoke, or perhaps it was that gentle voice, that made the girl finally muster up the courage to reply.
"You!" The housekeeper looked at the girl behind him who dared to resist, ready to slap her to make her face the reality.
"That's it." Suddenly, a long sword came to rest on the butler's neck, leaving a faint trail of blood. Even though it hadn't cut him open, the cold touch made him calm down quickly.
Loran Hill was a little tired of negotiating with such nobles. She could certainly see that the girl was being coerced, but she didn't want to ask the reason at this time.
"I, understand." The butler carefully put down the sword in his hand, stood nervously aside, and let the girl walk past him.
Carrying the only two remaining people, Loran Hill quickly ran towards the ground. All the ghosts and corpses he encountered along the way were chopped into pieces by the flashing sword light, cleanly and neatly.
It was not until then that the butler gradually realized that Miss Messia was not only beautiful in appearance, but also had strength that was comparable to those geniuses of Emenas.
"I hope my master will forgive my premature retreat," the butler muttered to himself as he hurried to catch up with the figure ahead. He, too, had a bad feeling. The number of ghosts on the road increased, and the necromancy in the air grew thicker and colder, slowly corroding the body.
Climbing the last staircase, a long passage extended upward. Loran Hill could smell the fresh scent in the air, which was the scent of dew in the forest at night, with a slight hint of coolness.
Reflecting on tonight's actions, she felt as if she had overlooked something, or perhaps a vague sense of unease. Why was the defense of this ruin, where the sacred artifact was buried, so simple? Why had she been the one to encounter this? You know, sacred artifacts rarely appear outside these days, and new ones might not be discovered for a hundred or two hundred years.
