Artoria wants to read people's hearts

But this is not, this belongs to a world like the end of the world.

Rick and his group who were walking in front didn't feel that there was anything wrong with these scenes, and the two people walking beside her didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

It's just because they have never seen the real early morning forest, let alone the real flowery forest.

But Artoria has seen it before, she knows the real beauty, so she feels melancholy about the scene in front of her.

But fortunately, there are those people in this world who have never seen the good, but still look forward to the sunshine in the dark.

Thinking of this, she walked up to Rick, turned her head and asked about the situation in the stronghold he led.

"I just became the leader of our stronghold some time ago." Her eyes were clear and warm, but she seemed a little embarrassed when she said this, "So I want to seek some experience from you."

Artoria's words are true. Although she is the king of Britain, the world is different. Her way of governing may be a bit unacceptable in this world.

After all... this world is more of a threat to humanity than Britain was at the time.

Three people, there must be my teacher Yan.

In order not to let herself make mistakes and let innocent people die, her learning attitude has always been very correct.

It's a pity that Mr. Warren is too mediocre as a leader and has no merits and failures, and he can't say anything when he teaches her.

There was no other way, so she set her mind on yes Rick, hoping to get some truths from him.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

As for her other real idea, she still needs to observe more before she can implement it.

"That's really congratulations!" Rick looked at the other party in surprise, as if he didn't expect that he could hear such news from the other party's mouth.

but.......

After the surprise after hearing this matter for the first time, it was immediately replaced by a feeling that it was true.

Looking at the delicate and beautiful appearance of the blond girl, and then at the awe-inspiring and noble temperament of the other party, Rick couldn't help but recall how handsome she was when she first met the girl, when she was fighting with a knife in her hand.

As it should be, as it should be.

Pendragon has a charm that is different from other people. If she is not the leader, then others are not enough to be called the leader.

Thinking of this, he put away his thoughts, and began to seriously tell her all the detours he had taken in these years.

One speaks carefully, and the other listens carefully.

On the premise of not delaying the journey, the two leaders took the lead, making the atmosphere of their six-member team extremely harmonious.

Just stop and go along the way, had lunch and dinner, and finally at around eight o'clock in the evening, the group of them arrived at the cliff that was the most gentle from the abandoned goblin base.

"What's next?"

Rick circled around, and then came back with a sullen face.

Hearing the question, Arturia turned her head and looked carefully for a moment. With her good eyesight, she saw the vines hanging on the cliff, and some natural raised rocks that could accommodate people.

"Look—" she said while raising her hand, "—those vines and rocks are ingeniously formed, as long as we are careful enough, we should be able to follow along."

Following the direction pointed by the other party, everyone opened their eyes wide and took a closer look, and as expected, they saw some protrusions on the cliff.

"That's fine." Nodding, Rick said to Arturia, "We happen to have ropes that can be climbed, and we can just go down these rocks."

The distance here is no less than [-] meters from the bottom of the cliff below. Although they are very high, they are all well-trained people. Naturally, they are not afraid of this height.

Just do it.

Rick ordered his subordinates to take out the ropes from the backpack, and distributed them to everyone one by one.

After explaining how to use it worryingly, he took Arturia and the others to install the pitons in the crevices of the stone.

The crowd threw the ropes forcefully, letting them naturally hang down to the bottom of the cliff.

Artoria pulled a rope and hung it on the safety pin around her waist.

After finishing all this, she raised her eyes and looked at everyone. "Are you ready?"

"Ready."

After finishing speaking, everyone pulled up the hoods on their faces, and then with a sudden force on their feet, their whole bodies began to fall down.

With their feet on the wall and rocks and their hands holding onto the ropes, they were rippling on the cliff like vigorous spiders.

However, when they were halfway up the mountain, they suddenly heard a crisp sound, and a worm-like monster rushed out from the inside of the cliff.

"!!!"

Why are there monsters here? !

They couldn't help being startled, and they wanted to dodge this monster, but they couldn't dodge in mid-air.

"Roar--!"

Seeing so many prey, the ugly worm couldn't help being surprised. It opened its mouth wide, aiming its barbs at the people hanging in the air.

With a flick of the body, it suddenly flew straight up.

Seeing that the closest companion was about to die, suddenly, a silver light flashed.

Whoosh! "The whistling dagger stabbed out obliquely, and the demon Zhang who was caught off guard had no time to parry, so he was doomed to die in mid-air.

The two-person-tall worm didn't even have time to raise its voice before it rolled and fell into the cliff.

There was only a "pop", and then there was no more sound.

They looked down in amazement, but their sight was blocked by clouds and vines, and they didn't even see a monster's corpse.

It took less than a minute from appearance to death, all of which suddenly made people feel like a dream.

"......Amazing."

His lips parted, and Rick finally suppressed a dry compliment from his mouth.

Good guy, this Pendragon is really not a cover, just the method of throwing sharp weapons just now, it seems that it is much more powerful than before.

"Thank you, Miss Pendragon!"

One of Rick's subordinates, the middle-aged man named Kelly who was almost eaten just now, looked grateful.

He breathed a sigh of relief in fear, and his face showed the expression of the rest of his life after a catastrophe.

"No thanks, we are companions, we should help each other, shouldn't we?"

The girl smiled and nodded, looking directly at the other person's figure, her lake-colored eyes were full of seriousness.

Seeing this, Rick's two subordinates couldn't help feeling respectful.

They secretly sighed, Miss Pande Aragon is worthy of being a person who is valued and respected by the leaders of her family. After this experience, she is indeed different from ordinary people.

So far, this matter has come to an end for the time being.

They all shut their mouths, and then continued to swing down the rope.

Twenty minutes later, when their feet stepped on the ground again, everyone's hearts suddenly loosened.

It's finally...he's at the place.

Chapter No.16 Big Boss with Rookie (Two in One)

In the deepest part of the ground, there stands a huge steel building that looks like a ship.

The decayed and withered trees around, as well as the scattered steel rhomboids, set off the black and gray sky and the red and dim sky above.

All they see is dilapidated black, and they can't tell the difference between east, west, north, and south.

At this moment, only the light source in their hands is still shaking, and the vertical cliffs around them seem to be layers of iron walls. At this moment, everyone seems to have fallen into the eighteenth level of hell alone. distant.

At this moment, it is impossible to tell whether the scene in front of him is spectacular or eerie.

"........"

Artoria was the first to come back to her senses. After looking around, she finally focused her gaze on a huge gap.

It was the bottom of the boat-shaped building, on the wall connected to the ground, but somehow it was attacked by some kind of attack, and it was torn out a big opening enough for everyone to enter and exit.

But no matter what the reason is, this gap at this moment saved a lot of effort for their exploration.

"Exactly, let's go in from here."

As she spoke, she pointed.

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, only to realize that there was such an entrance in that slightly remote corner.

"That's right, it's lucky." Rick's eyes lit up when he saw this, "If that's the case, then let's go from here."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and told everyone.

"The black ash is getting bigger and bigger, and the spirit detection disk can't be used now, so everyone should be more vigilant after entering, and be careful in everything."

The spiritual detection disk, it can detect fluctuations in spiritual power, similar to a compass.

For those of them who often travel outside and in and out of dangerous areas, the existence of the spirit detection disk can, to a certain extent, allow them to avoid some dangerous places and creatures in advance during exploration.

So when they heard that the spirit detection disk could not be used, everyone's expressions became serious.

Ewan, another subordinate of Rick, nodded and replied for everyone.

"Don't worry, we will be on guard."

"Since everyone is already mentally prepared—" Arturia nodded after hearing this, and then said, "Then there is no need to delay, let's go in now."

After getting everyone's response, she didn't say much anymore, and directly turned around and led everyone to the huge tear.

Bending down to look inside, all that was reflected in her eyes were broken steel pipes and collapsed walls.

Fortunately, there was indeed a gap enough for one person to pass through between the collapse of the ruins.

Very well, this gap is enough for them.

So she and Rick looked at each other, and then stepped into it tacitly together.

The original military base was already dilapidated by now, the layout here was disrupted by the collapsed ruins, the passages were even more crooked, and some places even became dead ends.

The occurrence of these situations has invisibly increased the difficulty of their exploration.

However, for the people following Arturia, those long detours were not a big deal at all.

Although they are still on alert, the tight string in their hearts has already shown signs of relaxing at this moment.

And the source of all this is because the blond girl in front is really too powerful.

Where there is danger, there is Pendragon.

Even if they didn't notice that they stepped on a trap, or they were in danger because of improper behavior, all of these things could be easily resolved by the girl.

For the first time, during the exploration, Rick felt a strange sense of peace in his heart.

If he has been in contact with modern culture, he must be able to know that his current feeling is obviously the happiness of a rookie being taken away by a boss.

After reaching out to pick up the collar of his subordinate Hornby, avoiding the steel bars falling from the top of his head due to aging.

Arturia's eyes fell to the front not far away, her eyes narrowed slightly.

She stopped, and everyone behind her had to stop too.

"Boss, what happened?"

Hornby lowered his voice, and while talking, looked forward over Artoria.

After seeing the situation clearly, his pupils couldn't help shrinking suddenly.

"My God! This thing is...!"

Yes, what is it?

Damn, why is this guy only half-talking?

Rick frowned, and he walked forward helplessly, and then his eyes widened, and he saw the machine in front of him beyond the blonde girl.

"!!!"

This is--!

After a brief surprise, he couldn't help leaning forward, bypassing Arturia and running towards the machine.

"It looks like this is a world map of goblins."

When Rick was in a surging mood, a clear and steady voice sounded from behind him.
