Chapter 388: Akasha's hug

The chaotic battlefield finally quieted down, and the "element density" around it returned to normal levels. Akasha drank a bottle of potion and rescued the seriously wounded soldiers from the death line-because the rescue was timely, these were just lined up. The infantry who charged at Lucius survived.
And because of the death of Frost Dragon Vesam, the huge amount of experience that was evenly distributed caused everyone to soar collectively by level 6.
These soldiers were scouts who had followed Roddy and Soderroll at the border.When they entered the forest, the basic level averaged at level 2, but now their average level reaches level 17. Degree of doubling.
Soderol's advanced "Ghost Rider" has been upgraded to level 6 and the basic level has been increased to level 15; Nata's basic level has been increased to level 14; Akasha's advanced level has reached level 10, becoming the highest level in the team. people.
And because of the "Dragon Slayer", everyone in this team has obtained attribute -0, full resistance fl6 and permanent BUF immune to most spiritual magic. The combat effectiveness is completely "reborn" compared to the past.
It's just that although the harvest is rich, what everyone can feel after the battle is not exciting, but only fortunate.
"It's not easy to survive ..."
Soderlor sat wearily on a collapsed stone pillar and looked up at Roddy. "I can meet the dragon and the mage of that level. There are things to brag about in this life."
He looks good, but Roddy understands the hidden worry in the opponent's words-the battle with Lucius, in the final analysis, the team's strategy has not worked at all. If Melinzela did not use "Longwei", then all People will be the result of mass destruction.
"The mage who ran away was not simple. Even if it was placed on the entire continent, we can't beat him now. It's normal." Roddy sat next to Soderlor, but then whispered: "But that doesn't mean we can't fight it all our lives. Five years later, you can kill him alone, believe it or not?"
"Don't believe it," Soderlor said, and then sighed, "But you even slaughtered the dragon, what else can I believe?"
His gaze turned to the corpse of the ice dragon, with deep awe and exclamation in his eyes: "This is a real dragon ..."
Although it is said that Roddy's "Slaying the Dragon" has great moisture in it, he cannot deny the fact that he completed the "last blow". Soderlor's sentence reminds Roddy what he just did— —He turned his head and found that the soldiers all came to watch the dragon corpses one by one, and even Nata stood not far away, staring at the dragon in a daze.
Roddy's mind is indeed a bit excited and proud, after all, he has accomplished things that ordinary people would not even think. However, the feeling of "complacency" was quickly suppressed ... after all, he was still too weak. If the Master of the level sent by the congregation sent Lucius to come to the door, I am afraid that the current city of Elson could not stop the other party
"The sentence just now is not a joke. For five years, it is not difficult for us to kill dragons on our own."
Roddy thought about the future development path, drew an arrow, and drew two areas on the ground: "But this requires us to adjust the direction of the use of resources ...
"Direction? Isn't the current strategy good?" Soderlor asked strangely.
"At present we are still using resources in a way that is common to the nobles ... Although this way looks stable and does not have much risk, in fact, its development rate can't keep up with the enemy's invasion speed."
He paused for a moment and then asked, "How much do you think Elsa Village has helped us grow?"
"It's very large. It can even be said that the current Parling and Elson City are basically supported by the income of Elsa Village."
Soderall quickly realized that Roddy meant, and asked, "Do you want to build more‘ Elsa Village, ’?

Roddy nodded: "It's just a small area that is inconspicuous, but because of its location and some special reasons, it has the same income capacity as a large territory.The conditions for this kind of place are too harsh. There are many. "
"It sounds like a gold mine."
"Yes. When there is no way to get more territories, if we want to get more resources as soon as possible, we need to work in such a place."
"But the specialty of Elsa Village requires a lot of manpower to transfer and sell. In Elfta, we can do this, but can we go elsewhere?"
Soderlor frowned, feeling that this was not feasible.
"What is the richest group on this continent?"
Roddy suddenly changed a question.
"Royal? Nobles? Who else is there?"
"The Association of Pharmacists, the Association of Elemental Masters, the Association of Enchanters ... even the royal family has to pay a lot of money to feed these magisters."
"Herbs, enchanted ores, rare warcraft, ancient recipes, etc., they are far more valuable than wine and food, and it is easier to accumulate wealth quickly."
Soderlor was relatively clear about the aristocracy, but he really didn't know too much about the "mage", but he knew that Roddy was not a big talker, so he didn't refute anything, and nodded, "Wait until we go back safely. "
"Established the camp and took the team with me an hour later to search the cave."
"no problem."
Soderolor got up to arrange it, and Roddy went to the corpse of the Frost Dragon to take a look. He counted the parts that could be used: the dragon skin can be used as leather armor, and the keel can be made various props, including Shields, lances, and even dragontooth daggers, and the specific role of dragon blood and dragon meat can not be confirmed, but it can be confirmed that these are priceless.
Even without the desire that Melinzela satisfied, such a gain can be described as amazing, but after everything calmed down, the depression that lingered in his heart once again made him a little upset ...
An hour later, Roddy took the spar donated by Melinzel and entered the cave protected by the enchantment. Surprisingly, there are more than seven hundred energy spar here, and this also means that the "task" to collect spar is completed.
The engineering team arrived in the evening, and Roddy directly encamped everyone in preparation for the return journey tomorrow.
After nightfall, Roddy asked Nata about the injury in his abdomen, and after confirming that he was okay, he returned to his tent to rest, but until this time, Akasha never held the bed to sleep as before.
Somehow, Roddy suddenly felt empty.
Before fighting Lucius, Akasha's hug gave him a moment of uneasiness-now that he wanted to come, he didn't seem to be in the mood of resistance. But it seems that because of that hug, Akasha was so shy that she didn't dare talk to herself ...
In this regard, Roddy also did not know what to say.
In his opinion, although Akasha has the highest level, she and Sally are basically two types ... She did not think of the word "independent". Many things will only be silently beared. Help.
She didn't dare to come alone, would she not sleep all night because she was afraid of darkness?
With this in mind, Roddy became more worried, but he hesitated for a long time and was afraid he thought too much. Until midnight, he was still at ease. He got up and went outside Akasha's tent, looking at the shadow of the ring's light. In his heart, he was thankful for his decision. have a rest."
The light in the tent shook, but there was no response. Roddy didn't think too much. He walked to the campfire to clean up the bed, and before he sat down, he heard Akasha step out of the tent and came behind him ...
"I ... I'm afraid you can't sleep, so just sleep here." Roddy didn't look back. "It's been a tough day for you today, the team will leave soon, and we-uh ..."
After Roddy didn't finish speaking, he found himself again caught by Akasha from behind.
With her head turned to the side, her breath was full of Akasha's faint body fragrance. Her hot cheeks were against her back, her posture was exactly the same as she was in front of the fortress gate.
There was something strange in my heart again, and Roddy blinked, without much movement, but then continued what she said just now: "In the future, we will not come to such a place again."
"Ok."
Akasha's answer was content with contentment, and she took a deep breath and whispered, "Sorry, I was ... but I really can't control myself ..."
"I, I know this is inappropriate, but I ... can't help it."
Instead of breaking free or pushing her hand, Roddy asked softly, "Why?"
"I'm stupid, timid, and of a pagan origin ... but you've taken me in and treated me so well, you've been so kind to me, and since I was born, no one has ever treated me like this--"
"I know this will bother you, but ... I think you already know what I think anyway, so, so I want to say ..."
Akasha's hands tightened slightly, trying to keep her voice from shaking--
"I like you."
I like you.
It was just a faint sentence, but it made Roddy feel inexplicable-because Akasha did not put herself on an equal footing with him at all. Constantly apologizing and hesitating, she didn't have the desire to respond to Roddy in her words, but only self-blame and hesitation ...
She was so careful, but the more so, the more distressed Roddy felt.
As if countless emotions came to my heart—Since the "Temple" was a farewell, Roddy suffered an unprecedented emotional trauma: he thought he would go to the end with Neffi, but he never wanted to meet again. Endless ending.
The break with Sally pushed everything that was originally maintained to the abyss.
He thought he would catch everything, but did not expect to lose everything eventually.
Akasha's fingers were shaking slightly, and Roddy's silence for a few seconds made her more nervous, but then he sighed slowly and said softly, "Thank you, Akasha."
He had a lot of things to say, but at the moment of speaking, he said only one thanks.
Akasha's confession made him suddenly understand: the past cannot be restored, and the future cannot be figured out. The only thing I can grasp is "now ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Those tangled, lost, helpless feelings, after all, only for the old time The traces below, immersed in them, can only make myself feel more and more confused and confused.
So he sighed softly and finally decided to bid farewell to the burden of the old days, and took his "first step" in the true sense of emotions calmly ...
He slowly turned around and looked at the timid Akasha, reached out his hand, and gently held her slightly cold palm.
[After thinking about it for a long time and changing it for a long time, this chapter may be a bit abrupt, but it is something I insist on writing-many things run counter to the plan. Dee is changing. This change is called "growth." He has made choices he has never made, and has taken a step he has never taken. Some people agree and some disagree with his behavior, which is all normal. It is just like life. When you look back, you often regret a certain choice, but sometimes you are glad that you have come to this day. This is how people live in contradictions, and move forward in contradictions alone. Even if this is only an YY novel, I want to write something that looks cruel. 】
[Of course, YY novels, after all, will not be as cruel as reality, you can rest assured. 】
