Chapter 54: Chapter 54
Good for eating wild boar.
Is this related?
We went outside the forest and found our father.
Um.
Wild boar meat is delicious
September 17th.
The wild boar meat was delicious.
September 18th.
The wild boar meat was delicious.
September 19th.
My father looked a little flustered today. He said that if we keep eating like this, the wild boars will be eaten up eventually, but it won't have any impact on the forest ecology, right?
Alan was stunned for a moment and said that he should indeed pay attention to it.
September 20th.
The wild boar meat was delicious.
October 1st.
Rudy has been a little lazy recently because a while ago he proudly boasted to Allen that he had received a letter from Teacher Luo Qixi.
Of course, I received it.
Each one is a letter.
But when Alan heard this, his expression looked a little strange and he didn't say anything.
I think he also received the letter from Teacher Luo Qixi.
So I asked him how many he had received.
He stammered as he looked at Rudy, whose expression gradually became somewhat stiff, and said something like, "It's just one letter."
But Rudy got anxious. He didn't believe it and insisted on reading Allen's letter.
Alan had no choice but to open the drawer, which contained six pieces of letter paper.
He was the first of the three of us to receive the letter.
From that day on, Rudy became a little lazy and even stopped studying magic seriously.
Well. But I understand him a little bit, because in addition to the letter paper, Alan seems to receive gifts from Teacher Roxy every time.
Suddenly, I had a feeling. I guess
Maybe Alan frowned all day long because he missed teacher Roxy?
I don't know if my guess is correct.
Teacher Luo Qixi is very good, and Alan is also very good.
I also want to be as good as them.
Ah. As expected, I still miss Teacher Roxy very much.
I want to receive a gift from her, too.
Alan is so cunning.
November 21st.
It's snowing, and it's the annual blizzard season again.
Last year, my father was worried about me and rejected my idea of going to the Knight's house to learn magic during the blizzard.
We may not see Alan again this winter.
Lately, I've been having some weird feelings about Alan.
This feeling is completely different from that towards Rudy.
I always wanted to look at him.
Is it because he saved me last year?
I'm not sure.
But my mother told me that I will naturally understand it in the future.
Too.
Allen said so too.
You will know what will happen tomorrow when tomorrow comes.
I think what he said makes a lot of sense.
But there is one thing I know even before tomorrow.
Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and every day thereafter.
I wanted to keep looking at him.
Chapter 74 Desperate Rescue Operation
When people are in emotional torment, the passage of time seems to be extremely slow.
Senis felt that her tears had dried up.
Her hair was scattered on her body, her face was dejected, and her eyes were staring blankly at the valley in front of her.
The figures are vague.
Almost all the adult men in Buena Village came to help dig the snow. After the bad news was brought back to Buena Village in the last midnight of yesterday, the operation was quickly launched.
It should have been the responsibility of the entire village to exterminate monsters. When monsters rioted, it was because they were afraid and did not properly exterminate the monsters in the absence of Paul, leaving behind this "root of evil". The dangerous behavior of Alan, Paul and others who sneaked into the valley alone to exterminate the monsters made all the villagers feel grateful for this from the bottom of their hearts.
Everyone picked up their shovels and wooden forks for strangling monsters, and followed Paul into the forest under the cover of night.
But the strange thing is that at the beginning there were still a few monsters gathered on the outskirts of the forest, but the closer they got to the valley, the fewer monsters there were, and even outside the valley, everyone had been digging since late at night.
Not a single monster appeared.
"Everyone, work harder!!"
Paul's hoarse voice came from the front. He looked very tired, his beard was untidy, and dark circles under his eyes almost covered the entire eye sockets. Even so, he still kept digging very efficiently.
But even so, the snow at the entrance of the valley has not been dug out yet.
It didn't snow today, and the setting sun shone from the mountain stream onto Senis's dull face.
Twenty-four hours had passed since Alan and Sylphy fell into the canyon.
"I shouldn't have let them go to the forest. It's my fault. It's my fault."
"Ma'am, Allen is very strong, he will be fine."
"My problem is my problem."
Lilia looked at Senis's expression. Her face was numb and her red hair was scattered on her shoulders. Lilia knew that her words were just comforting.
The situation at that time was already known to everyone last night.
It's not as simple as the mountain pass being blocked by an avalanche.
The two fell off the cliff from halfway up the mountain.
Even if Allen is very powerful, he is still more than a hundred meters high in the air. If he doesn't find a way to stop his body from falling immediately, then the two of them may be killed.
Lilia quickly shook her head to get rid of the disturbing thought from her mind.
She reached out and tightened Senice's robe, and the latter's exposed skin had begun to turn blue. After being woken up in the middle of the night, the two ignored Paul's dissuasion, and hurriedly wrapped themselves in a coat and went out. They first found a neighbor's woman to help them take care of the children, and then rushed into the forest.
When Senis saw with her own eyes the valley being buried by an avalanche, she was stunned for a moment, her expression twisted several times, and then she collapsed to the ground and began to cry silently.
After daybreak, he kept repeating this sentence and has not stopped until now.
As an adventurer, she must have a better understanding of how bad the current situation is.
The probability of both of them surviving is so slim.
As for Rudy, who is usually steady and overly mature.
Lilia turned her head and looked aside.
Rudius was wrapped in a blanket, squatting on the ground, looking at the snow in front of him. He looked very dazed, as if he had not woken up yet, and had a sense of unreality as if he was out of this world.
If Senis's collapse was visible to the naked eye, then Rudeus's collapse was not so superficial.
But the former was still willing to eat, while the latter maintained this posture all the time, as if curling up into a ball like this could allow him to escape the reality he was facing, and if he lowered his head he would not be able to see the rescue operation in the distance.
This was the first time Lilia had seen such a cowardly attitude.
But this is what a child should be like.
Because of this, everyone present understood him and let him sit there. After all, as a child he couldn't help much, and as a magician, he was ordered by Paul not to use magic.
The current situation is that although Rudy's use of blowing magic and fire magic may be more efficient, Paul is afraid of causing a new round of avalanches. If released at a moderate rate, blowing magic is too slow and may cause snow avalanches, and after the fire magic melts the snow, if it freezes into ice at the current temperature, it will make the rescue operation even worse.
So he was left here.
Thinking of this, Lilia walked up to Rudy, squatted down and handed the frozen bread in her hand to Rudius.
The latter took the bread with a look of enlightenment on his face and thanked Lilia very politely.
Then he stuffed it into his arms and continued to keep his head down in silence.
Lilia opened her mouth to say something, but for a long while she just sighed silently.
There were already several pieces of bread accumulated in Rudius's arms.
Every time she handed over the bread, she would hug Rudy and comfort him by saying things like "thank you for your hard work, it's not your fault".
But there was no smile.
He will thank you and can talk to you clearly, but his expression will remain in a trance as if he is dreaming.
She looked at Rudy for a while, then turned to look at Paul who was directing the excavation in the distance, took out new bread from a basket beside her and was about to hand it over.
But at this time, Rudius took the initiative to speak.
"Lilia, what do you think Alan was thinking when he came to save me?"
Lilia was stunned and quickly turned to look at Rudy.
Rudy stared at the snow beneath his feet, as if he didn't expect Lilia to answer at all, and just continued with what he was saying.
"If it were me, I would save them too, because just thinking about the possibility that their bodies would be piled up like two lumps of meat paste in front of me, I would definitely regret it. So I would save them. Although if I'm unlucky, I would probably also fall into a pool of meat paste, but at least at that moment, I am sure that I will save them."
Lilia was a little stunned and stammered, not knowing what to say.
Rudy raised his head and looked at Lilia in a daze.
Lilia felt that his gaze was very distant. Even though he was looking at her at this moment, she knew that she was not the one he was looking at.
Rudy's somewhat doubtful voice floated into her ear.
".I definitely wanted to save them. Even if it wasn't them, I would have tried to save a passerby. So why was it that I was the one who was saved in the end?"
Lilia was stunned.
Rudy's voice became faster and smoother. He looked at the snow in front of him and spoke into Lilia's ears like a machine gun.
"Obviously, I have a lot of magic power reserves. When I use the blowing magic at full power, I might have a chance to blow us back to father. Then why was I the one who was saved? And why didn't I save them?"
"I usually say that Allen is full of nice words, but when it comes to me, I can only say nice words at this time and then torture myself with words. Is that all?"
"I saw the moment Alan saved me clearly. He didn't hesitate at all. Did he know that he was going to die? Or did he also consider making a choice that he would not regret, just like me?"
"So we have the same awareness, so why am I the one sitting here regretting it? Lilia, I don't understand."
Rudy looked up at Lilia, who was trying to interrupt him, but couldn't find a way in. Meanwhile, Senis had already covered her face and lowered her head.
"Or did Alan not think about whether he would regret his choice afterwards, but simply thought of saving me, so he did it, is that right?"
After the words fell, the air between the three people froze. Rudy looked at Lilia as if he was waiting for an answer, or perhaps waiting for Lilia to insult him and get the answer he wanted.
