Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

five minutes later.

Under the escort of a saint, everyone followed the traces of the confrontation and reached the depths of the redwood forest.

This place was originally a natural ecological reserve, very suitable for outings and outings, and there are no large beasts.

However, at this time, its appearance no longer matches that of yesterday. There is a huge hollow area in the center of the ecological reserve covering an area of ​​tens of thousands hectares.

Thorny squatted down and grabbed the dark soil on the ground, kneaded it gently and watched it fall out between his fingers.

"This is not the result of an elemental explosion."

"All the elemental energy remaining on the ground is normal."

"Thirty meters down from the ground is red soil..."

The female knight was puzzled: "What exactly happened here?"

"I want to come..."

A cold and slightly hoarse female voice sounded.

The woman standing around the huge hollow was wearing a blue robe wrapped in a sharp and mature body, holding a staff and sword, and wearing a laurel wreath in the shape of an olive branch on her head. Her posture was straight, and her long dark blue hair gradually turned white at the end.

The one who responded to her words was the saint who came as an escort, one of the top combat forces of the Holy Church, the daughter of Archduke Goodse, one of the four Grand Dukes of Rome at the time, and was titled the 'Icy Valkyrie'.

She glanced around and said slowly: "It looks like the result of some kind of spatial transfer, otherwise the cut surface would not be so clean."

"Space transfer?"

Cordelia said immediately: "You mean, the person involved may still be alive?"

"I'm just talking about space transfer. As for whether there are any survivors, I can't be sure yet." Lyudmila Goodsey shook her head and said: "According to the character of the dragon fetus, it is unlikely that there will be any survivors."

She turned back and looked at the sky: "According to the traces we followed all the way, the Dragon Mother showed no mercy in two consecutive attacks... Among the ancient species, dragons have a natural affinity for space, and tearing up space is a threat to the Dragon Mother. It’s very simple.”

Valkyrie touched her chin: "And the Daxia young man you are talking about can actually withstand two full-force blows from the Dragon Mother without dying..."

She praised: "No matter what means are used, there is no second person in Rome who can achieve this."

"I had doubts before and thought there was no need to chase him out. It seems that I made an empiricist mistake. If I had come earlier, maybe he would have bought enough time to be rescued. It's a pity... The Dragon Mother is gone. Too anxious, and we are too busy dealing with other esoteric demigods to be distracted."

Hearing this, neither Cordelia nor Melusina showed any happy expressions.

So what if you get the praise of being canonized.

Where did he go?

Melusina asked with difficulty: "So, was he taken away by the Dragon Mother?"

Lyudmila shook her head: "This is not necessarily true, because the scope is too large. If the dragon mother just wants to take people away, why would she even dig the ground a hundred feet deep?"

"That means it was annihilated together with the space?" Thorns put forward a more cruel conjecture.

"Impossible." Cordelia immediately denied it, and then said in a panic: "If she did this, wouldn't she also destroy the sacred object?"

"Yes." Lyudmila agreed: "Since the target of the Dragon Mother is a sacred object, then killing people and seizing the treasure is the right choice. It is unwise to directly carry out such a large-scale attack. Besides... I personally think that the Dragon Mother is still She can't be so ingenious, even if she is a demigod."

"Your Majesty the Saint, please..." Melusina was interrupted by Lyudmila before she could finish her sentence.

"You think too highly of me. Even sainthood is not omnipotent." Valkyrie pressed her hair that was blown by the wind: "If the space transfer leaves formations and coordinates, we can track them, but there is not even a trace here. If you stay, there will be no way for me to track him down, not even any saint.”

Melusina's face turned pale and her body swayed slightly.

Cordelia supported her, suppressing her sadness and asked: "Is there really no hope at all?"

"Perhaps you can go to Midwinter to find the queen for assistance." Lyudmila was a little unbearable, and then said: "Queen Victoria is also a saint, and she has a vision that transcends the entire era."

"What does it mean?"

"It's not polite to reveal the secret of a saint without authorization. I can only say this much." Lyudmila withdrew her gaze from the pit: "It's time for us to leave. There is nothing left here."

…

Melusina forgot how she got back to her residence.

Her office has been gutted and is still undergoing repairs.

Because she looked lost, the secretary took her back to her residence.

The residence here is an apartment, and the location behind it is an orphanage sponsored by Donghuang Group.

Milica looked at Melusina, who had been sitting motionless with her knees in her arms for a long time. She wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't say anything.

She herself was very sad. It was hard to imagine that the young man she had just met yesterday had died.

Although she didn't know what happened specifically, judging from the behavior of the CEO's sister, it was definitely not a good thing.

She could only force herself to take care of Melusina, put away the cold lunch, and served a tomato and vegetable soup.

"Eat something, sister..." Milica whispered.

But on the sofa, Melusina, who hadn't even changed her clothes, just buried her head in her knees. She couldn't hear any sounds from the outside world.

She was regretting it.

I regret that I shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter.

Also resentful.

Resenting one's own powerlessness.

In the final analysis, it was because of the attack that he encountered from the beginning that it developed step by step to the current result.

He actually...could have left.

Take the relic and leave, or just leave it alone.

But he still took the initiative to lure the Dragon Mother away and left the Huadu area.

Why?

Melusina bit her lip.

Of course it's to save people.

But if you involve yourself in it just to save others, what's the point?

You are not the savior.

Even if you are, why can't you think more about yourself and the people around you?

The happy life we ​​obviously expected is already so close.

Why did it turn into a dream in the blink of an eye?

What are the ten years I have been waiting for...

Melusina dug her fingers into her arms.

Ding dong, ding dong——!

The doorbell rang outside the door.

Milica confirmed her identity through the peephole and then opened the door. Cordelia walked in.

She didn't even say hello, she just walked in with her shoes on, her feet were wet because it was raining heavily outside.

Her clothes were soaked by the rain, and her whole body felt like she had been fished out of the water.

Milica didn't recognize her at first glance, because compared to the saint in the broadcast, the saint in front of her was completely different in temperament and expression.

It feels terrible.

Melusina raised her gaze slightly and saw Cordelia who was twirling her hair. She lowered her gaze, but there was still no reaction.

"I'm not here to greet you." Cordelia said calmly: "He left a letter... I think you need to read it."

"Letter?" Melusina asked. She sat upright: "Where is it? What did you write?"

"I haven't read it yet." Cordelia took out the letter. She was wet all over, but the letter was dry.

The content of this letter is not much, only a few hundred words in total.

'After receiving this letter, remember to go find the president of Donghuang Group and read it with her. I have a few things to explain.'

‘The curse of the Dragon Priest and the sacred objects remain on my hand, so it is most suitable to use them as bait to attract the Dragon Mother’

‘Even if the opponent is level 5, I can still escape, but I may not be able to come back in a short time’

‘I’m also a little curious about what secrets are hidden in Michael’s right wrist that make even demigods so fascinated’

‘If I really can’t come back in a short time, there are a few things I need to arrange in advance’

'First of all, there is a huge amount of goods left at the dock. Remember to deal with it through the channels of Donghuang Group. One-tenth of the sales can be directly injected into Donghuang Group. The current debt and cash flow deficit can be solved immediately... ...Ask Cordelia for the specific location'

'The second thing is the business left by Captain Edward and I. In a month, he will contact Captain Nelson. I may not be able to make it to the Queen's birthday banquet then. I will ask Sister Shirley to go to the middle of winter and take care of it. The day was handed back to Queen Midwinter through Nelson's hand. If you can get the title, you can continue... This can easily open up the aristocratic market in Midwinter and share the worries of the old man.'

'Finally... I wrote to Cordelia. I didn't expect that just returning the sacred objects would cause so much trouble. I might not be able to bring them back, so I remember to keep them secret from the Holy Church. I originally had other things to say, but Time is too short, we will talk about it when we get back... Don't forget the agreement between you and me'

‘Take care of yourself’

‘Burn after reading’

After reading this letter, although I couldn't say I was relieved, the uneasiness in my heart finally subsided by a few percent.

"It seems that he was the one who moved the space at that time." Cordelia stared at the handwriting of the letter and said, "He is still alive."

"Yes, he is alive." Melusina repeated, injecting courage and confidence into herself.

This letter is not only a kind of comfort, but also proves that Bai Yu did not act recklessly, but was well prepared.

He had thought deeply, so he did not die tragically.

Cordelia was about to take the letter.

"what are you doing?"

"It's burned."

"no!"

"He said he was going to burn it."

"I said no." Melusina put the letter away: "I will keep it carefully...and if grandpa comes back, I always need to give him an explanation. A handwritten letter is the most effective."

Cordelia thought for a moment and did not persist. She sat down and said, "It seems that we will inevitably have to deal with each other in the future."

"I can solve these troubles by myself without the help of Miss Saint."

"Please don't get me wrong." Cordelia insisted: "I have no interest in Donghuang Group, but I also have a share of the credit for 'The Sun Never Sets'. I need to use it as a springboard to see Queen Victoria, according to the canonization, only she can know where Bai Yu is."

"...It's up to you." Melusina stopped talking, picked up the steaming vegetable soup and took a sip. She needed to replenish her body's energy, then get things done, and then...wait for him to come back.

"Give me a bowl too." Cordelia raised her hands and breathed hot air into her hands: "It's so cold."

The female CEO remained silent and acquiesced to her behavior.

From the deepest part of her heart, she had a slight affection for this saintly girl who had mixed reviews.

No matter what the motivation is, no matter whether the status is suitable or not, at least the love she shows is serious.

…

Cold, shaking.

Bai Yu covered his painful forehead and slowly opened his eyes.

When you enter your eyes, there is a little white mist.

Beneath him is a shaky wooden frame,

In the white mist, he could see the vague outlines of several people sitting across from them.

As if aware of the movement on Bai Yu's side, a man shouted.

"Hey, you, you finally woke up."

Um?

This line that had a sense of déjà vu made him immediately perk up.

My day, don't... I don't want to travel through time again!

Bai Yu wanted to sit up, but found that his hands and feet were tied, like a prisoner about to be executed.

"Save your strength." The yellow-haired man who spoke said calmly: "We will all be executed soon. I am still wondering whether you will sleep until the capital is beheaded and not wake up, but if this is good, at least less A little struggle and pain.”

"Beheading?" Bai Yu frowned: "What law did I break by riding on the horse?"

"Hahaha? Have you forgotten?" The yellow-haired man revealed an appearance with obvious sub-human features from the white mist. The tiger man grinned and said: "You suddenly fell from the sky, bringing with you a large piece of meteorite, smashing and burying many alive. Soldier."

Bai Yu was thoughtful, but he really couldn't recall the relevant details.

He was clearly fighting with the Dragon Mother before, but where was she?

"I have two questions."

"You said, I am still willing to make this request before I die." The tiger man shrugged: "As long as you don't want to invest in it."

Bai Yu ignored this overly gay joke.

"Did anyone else appear with me at that time? A human, or a huge legendary creature..."

"The scene was in chaos, who knows." The tiger man shook his head: "Maybe someone fell down together, but there was definitely no huge creature, at least I didn't see it."

Bai Yu paused and continued to ask: "Second question, do you know..."

He looked at the dirty clothes on the other person's body and said, "What year is it today?"

The tiger man grinned: "Do you even need to ask? Of course it was 1524."
