Chapter 103: Lost favorability?
The entrance to the city gate is tall and wide, and not far in front of the city gate , there is a row of wide crossbow carts.
The ballista cart may look like a simple medieval city-breaking weapon, but the prayer inscriptions carved on it and the faint golden light emitted by each crossbow arrow show the extraordinary nature of this weapon.
After all, this is a world where gods really exist , and the city lord is a demigod. It is impossible for him to use ordinary weapons like in the Middle Ages.
Maybe the forms they appear to be similar, but their essence is completely different.
"Um……"
Looking at the crossbow carts that occupied at least four or five cubic meters, Xia Yu pondered for a moment, and decided to wave his hand and collect the rows of crossbow carts.
Whether you will use it or not, just put it away first.
A moment later, the crossbow carts that were guarding the city gate and blocking the enemy's massive attack disappeared.
Looking at the city gate that looked like a swarm of locusts, Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction. It was much more spacious now. He believed that those dead soldiers would definitely thank him.
After putting away all the usable weapons, Xia Yu stepped into the city gate. Behind the city gate was a wide passage. The torches inserted in the wall brought some light to the passage.
This passage is the only way to get into the city. After walking for about a few minutes, the blessing emitting a faint golden light appeared in front of Xia Yu.
Only the Faded Ones can see the Blessing, but not all Faded Ones can see the Blessing.
This is both a shelter where the faders can rest safely and an anchor to guide the faders forward.
After thinking about it, Xia Yu stepped forward and "lit up" the blessing, that is, leaving his own mark on this blessing. Speaking of which, it seems that he hasn't upgraded for a while.
This is a good opportunity to chat with Melina and build up some good impressions.
While thinking about it, he sat down cross-legged following the blessing, but before he opened his mouth to call Melina, the blue starlight had already condensed.
Melina appeared from the illusion and knelt beside Xia Yu.
"Do I need to transform rune into my own power again?" she turned her head and asked.
Although she didn't know much about Xia Yu, and he even had some secrets that she couldn't see through, a tacit understanding had already been developed between the two.
"certainly."
In reality, strengthening yourself requires one more step than in the game, which is that Melina will show up every time and strengthen you by shaking your hand.
When you level up in the game, you won't see Melina at all, unless Melina happens to appear, then you'll level up hand in hand.
Anyway, compared to the Soul 3 Fire Keeper who also helped the protagonist upgrade, Melina lost completely.
However, on some unspeakable websites, Melina has won completely, with the amount of her works far exceeding that of the most popular Lani.
As the obscure spell sounded, the runes that had been accumulated in Xia Yu's body also became active.
The next moment, the warm Rune merged into his body again, strengthening his physical constitution. The strengthening of his physical constitution also greatly improved his strength, speed, and reaction ability.
Magic power can be cultivated and increased through other methods, but the stolen runes are most suitable for strengthening the physical body.
After a while, the strengthening was completed. This time, Melina did not leave first, but looked at Xia Yu steadily and said.
"Do you want to challenge the first demigod? Although the Lord of Stonewell is the weakest demigod, you should still be careful and don't be careless."
"Also, you have never been traveling alone. I have always been with you."
Hearing this, Xia Yu was a little surprised. What Melina just said...this didn't fit her wooden personality.
After noticing the surprise on Xia Yu's face, Melina felt a little puzzled. Did she just say something strange?
"What are you wondering about?"
"Uh..." Xia Yu felt a little embarrassed when he heard Melina's question. Why did he show his expression?
"Nothing, I'm just a little surprised that you actually care about me."
Hearing this answer, Melina frowned in dissatisfaction: "In your mind, am I someone who doesn't care about my companions?"
"no……"
"Well, never mind. If you think so, then just think so."
Without waiting for Xia Yu to explain, Melina turned into a blue starlight and left.
Xia Yu was a little dumbfounded by this scene. This... this is not right? He was clearly planning to increase the favorability, but why did it seem like he was losing it?
Also, tsundere doesn’t suit you, that’s Lani’s character. Your character is nothing.
But Melina had already left, so she probably wouldn't listen to anything he wanted to say.
At this moment, Xia Yu wanted to slap himself in the face. Why didn't he control his mouth just now?
"Melina? Melina?"
After calling twice, Melina didn't respond. Xia Yu had a headache. What should he do? He had no experience in comforting girls, especially since this girl was not an ordinary girl, but a girl who possessed him.
Well... never mind. I'll apologize next time we meet.
After making sure that Melina really ignored him, Xia Yu stopped calling her. It was tactless to keep disturbing her at this time, and his favorability rating might drop.
After adapting to his increased physique, Xia Yu stood up from the place of blessing, ready to fight with the evil omen demon and vent his depression at the same time.
On the other side, Melina, , was also a little depressed. She just didn't want Xia Yu to feel lonely.
But not only did the other party not understand her good intentions, they also had deep prejudices against her. It was really infuriating.
During the time she possessed Xia Yu, she was also able to observe his condition, although he did not seem to have any mental problems.
However, she often found that Xia Yu was particularly prone to daydreaming by himself. From her observation, he not only often looked idiotic and dazed, but also occasionally made weird and neurotic laughs.
If Xia Yu had not behaved normally normally and studied normally with the magic teacher, she would have suspected that Xia Yu had been alone for too long and that his mind had started to become abnormal.
After all, he is carrying the mission of becoming a king alone, without a witch to accompany him and share the pressure.
Although she can transform runes into power, she is not Xia Yu's witch. She is still a special soul body, so she cannot accompany him all the time and help him share the pressure of traveling.
Thinking of this, Melina felt that her behavior just now was not so good. She was clearly planning to have a good chat with him and enlighten him at the same time, but she left in anger because of a word.
Apologize to him next time you see him.
…
After leaving the blessing, the end of the passage is the broken cliff battlefield, which is also the first line of defense of Stonewell City.
Only after passing through that line of defense can you reach the real inner city gate.
In the game, you can summon Brother Jie, the magician Roger, for help at the entrance of the cliff battlefield. Unfortunately, when Xia Yu arrived at the entrance, he did not find the summoning mark after searching.
He had no choice but to give up, took out the soul-summoning bell, prepared the ashes of the three wolves and one jellyfish, and stepped in with firm steps.
