Volume 3: Tide of Gray Mist Chapter 51: The City of Sword Flowers, Medissa
Under the light of torches and oil lamps, the gray fog thinned a lot, and the visitor stopped a few dozen meters away.
She held an oil lamp in one hand and a slender sword in the other. Her silver combat boots stepped on the cracked ground. She was wearing a white slim combat suit with patterns of swords, roses, etc. painted on it. Her long dark red hair fell to her waist, and her hair and clothes were pinned with some exquisite accessories.
It gives people a noble and gorgeous look.
Even though she was in the strange world, her clothes were a little torn and covered with dust, she still tried her best to maintain her elegance and decency.
This was the thought that came to Anna's mind when she first saw it.
Because sometimes she would try to remain elegant and decent... without affecting combat and training.
While Anna and the others were observing, Medesa, holding an oil lamp, was also carefully looking at the people in front of her.
The four girls were all wearing the same style of clothing. Judging from their attire, this world had pretty good equipment-making capabilities and was able to create awakening armor, which was definitely top-notch in the newcomer world.
Why must it be awakening armor?
Because their robes were a little damaged, but generally intact. If they were ordinary clothes, they would most likely be left with only strips of cloth after being attacked by evil spirits.
In addition, they carried torches with them to disperse the fog, indicating that they were most likely human beings.
Not a minion of the evil god.
Thinking of this, after a slight hesitation, Medesa walked forward and touched her chest with her hand.
"Hello, everyone in the world that has not yet been devoured. I am Metissa from the City of Sword Flowers."
The City of Sword Flowers is a large oasis.
A distinguished existence among the Oasis forces, as to why she appeared here, that’s a long story.
The full name of the City of Swords and Flowers is the City of Swords, Battle Songs and Roses. It also has three major colleges: Sword Academy, Battle Song Academy and Rose Academy.
The academy is the ruler of the Sword Flower City.
Medesa was born in Rose Academy, where she was one of the best and an absolute elite in the City of Sword Flowers. This time, she was ordered to find out the situation of this newly discovered world and get in touch with the local forces.
And give some help to that world depending on the situation.
However, when she descended and entered the target world, some small errors occurred. She did not enter the Blue Star, but landed on the dark side of the Blue Star, the shallow layer of the strange world.
This is when a miserable life began.
After searching for most of the day, they finally met the humans from Blue Star. Metissa seemed to have tears in her eyes.
He expressed the hope to be able to travel with the team for a while.
She will also represent the City of Sword Flowers and bring win-win cooperation to Blue Star.
After hearing her story, Shi Yunxi and Poli looked at each other, and she expressed her meaning with her lips while looking into each other's eyes.
"What do you think? Do you think these statements are credible?"
The woman in front of him narrated a lot of information. When she talked about oases and large oases, Shi Yunxi did not interrupt and listened quietly to Medesa's story.
Polly, Anna and the other two may not be clear about these things, but she does. She has even seen information about the "City of Sword Flowers" in confidential information.
It's almost the same as what Medesa said.
But that doesn't mean the rest of her words are true, nor can it prove that she is from the City of Sword Flowers.
After thinking for a while, Shi Yunxi stepped forward and said in Donghuang language, "Okay, but there will be some small conditions in exchange."
This was a choice she made after careful consideration.
Bring this man back to camp.
If they don't take her with them, Medesa will also follow them secretly, and it will be very difficult for their team of four to get rid of a master who is capable of traveling through the strange world .
As for the other option, Shi Yunxi would not do that, as it is not in line with Xinhuo's purpose.
…
…
Shrouded in gray fog, on the dilapidated and silent road, the one walking in the front of the team was Medesa from the City of Sword Flowers.
This is the condition of peers.
Seeing that her attempt to show her sympathy was futile, Medesa could only carry an oil lamp and a sword and walk at the front of the team.
The oil lamp emitted a faint orange-yellow light, dispersing the surrounding gray fog and driving away the evil spirits.
Shi Yunxi discovered that there were fewer evil spirits encountered along the way, and the gray fog seemed to be thinner.
“Is it the effect of the oil lamp?”
" It seems to be more powerful than the Mingguang Torch?"
She was thinking, and while she was on guard, she was also observing every move of Medea.
I discovered that the thing this girl from the City of Sword Flowers did the most was... tidying up her appearance.
Shi Yunxi: “???”
She wondered if there was any special purpose behind this, but she always thought more before doing anything and would not ask directly.
While she was thinking about several possibilities, Pearly spoke up, "Ms. Medesa, is appearance related to combat power? Is there some kind of mysterious ritual that says the more gorgeous the clothes, the stronger the combat power?"
Polly stared, her eyes sparkling.
Hearing her ask this, Metissa was stunned. After a long pause, she said, "No."
She brushed off the dust on her body, adjusted her hair a little, and continued, "If you must say it, it will only cause more trouble without any substantial effect."
"Then why are you still...?"
"You still care so much about your appearance, right? Because this is the concept of our Jianhua City. You must be elegant. Elegance is the concept and pursuit of us Jianhua people."
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, her smile was also elegant and sweet. She turned to look at Pearly and the others and said, "You may find it strange, but if we forget elegance, forget human etiquette, become raw meat and drink blood, strong but barbaric and bloody, then what is the difference between us and the cultists who believe in evil gods?"
Polly fell into deep thought.
Although I know this is definitely a fallacy, but I somehow feel that it does make sense?
strangeness……
…
With the addition of Medesa and the oil lamp in her hand, the team's movement through the ruined city became a little easier.
Just like when the Tathagata came, the "radar" in Shi Yunxi's mind would give out prompts from time to time.
Following the coordinates, she directed the team to make a detour, slightly increasing the combat power of Medissa. At this time, they had already picked up the seventh material for the return trip.
Seeing Anna squatting down, skillfully picking a plant of Hades grass and putting it into a special container, Medesa could no longer remain calm.
"How come you found treasure again?"
"It's a special plant of the third level!"
In a world that has just appeared and has just been connected to the strange world, there are many more mysterious materials, but they are definitely not so many that you can pick one up every few steps.
This is not exploring the strange world, this is... this is picking up money!
That’s right, they were just picking up money. Anna knew it, but she still acted innocently like an actress. “Aren’t these all normal operations? Isn’t it the same when you explore the strange world?”
Metissa: “…”
She followed the team all the way, and before she even saw the secret safe zone, she suffered critical hits along the way.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces, these humans from Blue Star seemed to have opened their third eye and picked up money along the way, and it had nothing to do with her.
This is more tiring than the previous battle with the evil.
And I never reached the secret place.
The distance these humans from Blue Star have come is too far!
Medesa muttered to herself, then suddenly stopped and clenched the sword in her hand.
Her rich experience in the ghost world told her, "Something is wrong. There is something wrong with the ghost that appeared just now!"
Shi Yunxi's experience and knowledge of navigating the strange world is far inferior to that of Medesa, but her master's intuition also makes her hair stand on end, as if some danger is approaching.
She looked at Cen Jing.
Cen Jing had already closed her eyes, with drops of cold sweat on her forehead. "There are unusual monsters. No, not monsters, but humans. They have merged into the gray fog... They are the minions of the evil god!"
Bang--
The glass shattered, and a figure in a black robe jumped down from several floors high. His nails kept lengthening, like two blood-red blades.
The sharp blade and diamond collided, creating sparks.
Flames appeared in Anna's hands, but a figure rushed out from the mist, with a sharp blade striking her in the face.
At this juncture, Medesa raised her sword and lightly flicked the blood-red blade, stabbing out several times in an instant, causing blood flowers to bloom on the black-robed figure.
"It's... it's the Cultist of Scarlet Moon!"
The vitality of these believers was extremely strong. Even though Medesa stabbed them several times, they remained as normal. The wounds under their tattered grey robes were healing rapidly with granulation tissue flying around.
More cultists appeared around one after another, and the noise of the battle attracted more evil spirits.
This is getting worse.
In the eyes of the evil spirits, they are delicious food, and they pounce on them one by one. However, the cultists usually cannot command the evil spirits, but they will not be attacked either. Instead, they are treated as their own kind.
After killing a two-star evil spirit with one sword, Medesa could no longer maintain her elegance. Her white dress was slightly torn, and her forehead was covered with sweat that stuck to her hair.
His chest heaved and he gasped.
"Not good, not good."
She was a pioneer in the City of Sword and Flower, an elite from the Rose Academy, a genius with the potential to become an inhuman level. Was she going to die here in obscurity?
But not only do they have to face attacks from six or seven Three Awakening cultists, they also have to deal with more and more evil spirits, and they have to keep the oil lamps and torches, otherwise they will be torn apart by the evil spirits.
These are all unfavorable conditions.
Medesa saw no hope of breaking out.
The strong human beings of Blue Star? She didn't even dare to count on them.
How could there be any special life-saving treasure in a world that has just been connected to the strange world?
Medesa just gritted her teeth and resisted, hoping to fight her way out.
At this time,
The black-robed cultists' attack paused slightly, and a figure wearing dark red armor and holding a broadsword slowly walked out of the gray fog.
Metis's teeth were chattering.
What a hell of a situation!
She heard that Shi Yunxi, a powerful human from Blue Star, also sighed.
With reluctance, regret and despair.
It's really hopeless.
Huh?!
A circle of light suddenly appeared, and the azure light enveloped the bodies of several people.
The next moment, the stream of light disappeared.
Medesa only vaguely heard the roar of the armored man, and then she felt dizzy. When she came to her senses, she fell to the ground with a thud and screamed, "Ah!"
