Violet Orchestra

After leaving the hotel, Petra did not immediately go to the dry lake in the wilderness as said in the letter, but followed Elaine secretly for a while, and turned back to her destination after confirming his whereabouts.

As she expected, the young man didn't listen to her completely. Before sending the letter, he first went to Birkins and Hodge who were lurking nearby, and then went to the camp in the wilderness that Devendola had said.She had already guessed that Elaine would not be so good, and after confirming her idea, she smiled helplessly, not knowing whether to praise him for growing up or learning badly.

Of course Elaine will not find Petra's stalking.After finding Birkins and Hodge, he took the time to repeat the contents of the letter, told Petra's plan, and discussed with them a new countermeasure - Birkins and Hodge went to the bunker in advance Squatting, after rescuing Violet, they shifted their target, trying to snatch Petra back from Dewindora as soon as possible.

"The open terrain in the wilderness is not conducive to hiding, but Dewendora is very good at choosing places." Hodge clicked his tongue and said irritably, "The Sanchos are cavalry, so they have an advantage, and she has Hostage, I am afraid it will not be too easy for us to snatch people."

Since Petra herself has said that she is not Dewindola's opponent, it is almost impossible for them to gain benefits from Dewindola and a whole cavalry team through a frontal battle under the inherently unfavorable circumstances. , can only think of other ways to deal with it.

"Our greatest advantage is our familiarity with the terrain, which is also our only advantage." Birkins raised the map in his hand, "Thanks to the work done in advance—since Petra chose the meeting place in the wilderness Then we will use the nearby terrain map to make traps in advance."

"This is my specialty..." Hodge stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"It's up to us to think about what to do. You just need to concentrate on saving Violet." Birkins left him to think for himself, then turned to look at Elaine, "Although Petra said that Dewendora would not embarrass you , but still don't take it lightly, ensuring the safety of yourself and Violet is the most important thing, this is your task, understand?"

Elaine nodded: "I'll help you guys after I bring Violet to a safe place."

They all understood where the focus of this one-for-one rescue was. Compared with Violet, who was seriously lagging behind in terms of force, they needed to worry more about Petra, who seemed very strong.Devandora's goal is clearly directed at Petra. There is no doubt that she will actively shift her attention to Petra when Petra shows up, and the danger factor Violet faces will follow. linear decrease.But this is not necessarily a good thing - Violet is just a hostage and bait to Dewendora, but Petra is the object she has long wanted to kill, and it is obvious which identity is more dangerous.

Of course, this does not mean that Devandora will definitely act according to their ideas, so Birkins and Hodge still need to make more preparations.After Elaine left with the letter, they immediately set off to the dry lake that Petra mentioned in the letter, and started the design and installation of the trap.

"Actually, if Petra doesn't run away, maybe we can come up with another way," Hodge said while winding the silk rope around the dead tree trunk, "We should actually have more time than we thought, Violet's mouth can If you talk about the dead as alive, Dewendora will not be in a hurry to attack him."

"But that's not why we risk Violet." Birkins shook his head.

He knew why Petra was in such a hurry to leave.She had made her attitude very clear last night. In her opinion, these were her responsibilities, and she didn't want any of them to be hurt by this incident, especially Violet.

In this team, Violet has always been special, not only Petra, but he also thinks so.

But this does not mean that he agrees with Petra's decision. This seems to be a multiple-choice question, but if they are asked to choose one of the two equally indispensable teammates, he will be more inclined to not let go of both.

He loathes such choices, and after losing Essedmea and Lanny, he no longer does multiple-choice questions.

"Tell me, does this make you feel safer, Dewindora?"

"It's unbelievable, you dare to talk to me like that." Dewendora laughed angrily, reached out and pinched the poet's slender neck, don't forget that your life is still in my hands, what's the use of provoking me ? "

She was so strong that Violet could hardly breathe, but there was still a little smile on her face: "You won't kill me, once I die, Petra will never appear in front of you, won't you? "

Dewendora's expression froze for a moment, and then threw him aside with a sullen face, watching him struggle to get up from the ground.Since his hands and feet were tightly tied, his movements looked a little embarrassed and ridiculous. When he finally got up, several red fingerprints had already appeared on the skin of his neck.

"Am I right?"

Even though the dust had already rolled all over her body, and the taste of rust was welling up in her throat because of being pinched just now, the poet still looked at her with a light smile, as if she had just made a joke just now.

He has always had a good attitude towards ladies, not to mention that Dewendora didn't use much effort—that's the number one warrior of the Sancho tribe. He believed that as long as the other party wanted to, he could wring his neck with one hand just now, instead of Let him still have the leeway to get himself up from the ground.

Dewendora's face was not good, and he was obviously impatient with him: "What do you want to say?"

"I'm just an outsider. Just like you are not familiar with the outside world, I also don't know the situation in the Trillance Mountains." Violet said, "So I am not qualified to express any opinions on your beliefs, and I will not just because Petra is my friend and accuses you of what you have done because in my opinion you are not all wrong and you have always been true to what you believe in, which is beyond reproach."

Dewendora snorted coldly and didn't speak.

"But relatively, as an outsider, I may see the ins and outs of this matter more clearly than you."

This is not a lie, in fact, he was very surprised when he learned of the existence of the Sancho.Because the God of Rock has fallen for a long time, for a person like him who has traveled more than half of the continent, it is unimaginable that there is still a whole group of people who rely on their belief in him to continue to live in a corner, and no one even left the exhausted land voluntarily. land.

When the gods of the entire continent are close to being replaced, there is still such a territorial group waiting for the return of the god they believe in. It sounds like a fairy tale.The reason for saying this is that, in the eyes of most people, the rock god has no chance of regaining his godhood—the meager power of faith of the Sancho tribe is obviously not enough to allow him to return to the altar, and with the As time goes by, they will leave Trillance Mountain sooner or later, abandoning the fallen god who can no longer protect them.

This is the view of most people including him. He didn't have too many scruples and told Devendora directly, and added: "Whether the so-called Catherine betrayed the rock god is true or not, I don't know. I have to tell you one thing - Catherine, the goddess of green leaves, she has also disappeared from the mainland for many years."

Devandora finally frowned.

"you sure?"

"Yes, she and Patros, the god of rocks, are gods of similar ages. Although we don't know the real reason for the fall of the god of rocks, it is obviously different from the legend of Mount Trillance. The reputation of the place is not bad. As for the reason for her disappearance, people usually understand it as hermitage or fall... It’s been too long, if Petra didn’t mention the name, I would hardly think of her.”

In fact, there is not much difference. The reason why a god lives in seclusion is probably because they are starting to age and are no longer powerful.There are no natural gods in West Germany. The so-called gods are almost all promoted to gods because of the power of faith. They still have the same foundation as humans.Also because of this, after their own mental power fails, they will gradually embark on the road of aging and death.

"Since no one witnessed the fall of the rock god, I don't think it's right to blame Catherine directly." The poet glanced at her and brought the topic to Petra, "Compared to the grievances between Catherine and Patros Love and hatred, what I'm more curious about is that even Petra herself doesn't know who her father is, let alone believe in such private information, how do you know this?"

That was indeed what he most wanted to know.If Petra's father is really a follower of Catherine, it is not unreasonable that, with the Sancho's faithful belief in the god of rocks, she cannot continue to be a priestess.But for the Sancho tribe who allowed intermarriage with foreign men and allowed their father to leave the Trillance Mountains after giving birth, the question of the belief of an ordinary man who had left long ago was suddenly dug out after so many years, and got or the most sensitive answer?

"You don't need to know this, we naturally have our own way." Devendola blocked his question with a blunt tone, "Don't think that you can gain my trust by saying something that is not true or false, I know you are very Good at deceiving."

"...Who told you?" Violet's eyes widened, "I've been telling you the truth, don't tell me you can't feel it."

He is indeed good at the art of language, but for an object like her that cannot be tricked, he is not so stupid as to make up lies to deceive her, because he will be exposed if he is not careful, and the possible consequences are really not worth the risk for him.

Also, who on earth leaked their information so thoroughly?Not only can they give detailed information on everyone in the team, but they can also convince Dewendora... There are not many such people.

"Is it Maledez?" That was the only name he could think of after ruling out other improbable people.

Devandora couldn't comment, waiting for him to continue talking.

"It's a good thing that Petra still believes in him." Violet smiled and laughed at himself, "It seems that when you are away from home, sometimes the most unbelievable thing is acquaintances."
