Chapter 182 Lopur's Choice
Chapter 182 Lopur's Choice
"What do you mean by justice... You are talking nonsense! Have you abandoned your own beliefs and pride? You are just a failed adventurer!"
"Hmph, a loser dares to be so arrogant...just keep barking there." Russell looked at Brenda coldly, and quickly looked away, as if she was no longer worth looking at.
"Okay... I've wasted too much time. I have to catch up with them." Russell walked past Brenda and headed in the direction Xu Zhen and the others were running.
Brenda was left unable to move and could only moan. Tears flowed out of helplessness. She could do nothing but dance in the hands of the other person, feeling extremely inferior.
All Brenda could do now was pray for the safety of the boy and the monsters she had let escape.
(Please, Xu Zhen. Even a little bit... Even just a little bit, go a little further, run away...)
Finally, Brenda's consciousness faded and she finally dissolved into darkness.
————————————————————
Xu Zhen and his friends fled into a cave they accidentally discovered in the forest and hid there.
Because they had run a long distance, everyone was out of breath. But perhaps because they were able to calm down for the time being, their expressions also relaxed a little.
"Ha, ha... Did we get rid of them?" Xu Zhen tried to adjust his heavy breathing while secretly looking out of the cave. He did not see a figure like Russell.
"We can't let our guard down. They'll find us soon, haunted by evil magic."
“…Yes, that’s true.”
Lati's words made Xu Zhen feel a little disappointed, but he also accepted this fact. He thought of Sylvia's incident. Even if they fled far away, the enemy still chased them straight. Xu Zhen couldn't help but sigh silently, thinking that Russell would not be an exception.
"Migu, Miyi, Miyi!"
At this time, a fairy ship suddenly started talking to them. As usual, Lati listened and relayed it to Xu Zhen.
Xu Zhen's eyes widened as he listened to Lati's translation. Although his expression did not show it clearly, Lopul also seemed very surprised.
“I see… I think I understand what it means.”
After listening to Lati's translation, Xu Zhen let out a long sigh.
"Lopul's companions are nearby, but given what has happened, they can no longer stay here. They plan to take this opportunity to return to their companions and move together. So, if Lopul wants to go back, now is his only chance. Is that what you mean?"
"Yes, and given the situation, we don't have time to hesitate." Xu Zhen summarized the conversation, and Lati nodded with a heavy expression.
It's not surprising that the fairy ships are considering safe relocation. The problem is that Roper is also involved. Xu Zhen originally wanted to let Roper meet the other partners, but the situation did not allow it.
Loppel had to make a choice immediately, who to go with.
(If he wants to go back, we'll just have to accept it.)
Having prepared himself to say goodbye to Luo Puer, Xu Zhen saw Luo Puer coming over.
"Gu Yi!" Loppel jumped onto Xu Zhen as usual, and then climbed onto his head.
"Uh... Lopur?"
"Gugu!" Luo Puer rubbed the head of Xu Zhen, who seemed a little confused. A happy smile appeared on Lati's face.
"It seems that Lopur has chosen to go with you, Master."
"Really?"
"Goooo!"
Luo Puer nodded excitedly to Xu Zhen's question. His expression was unhesitating, as if he had never hesitated from the beginning. Luo Puer's current destination was with Xu Zhen and his friends. He had already made his choice.
Even though the fairy ship was still dazed at first, it finally seemed to accept everything with a smile on its face. Just when the atmosphere was slightly relaxed——
“…Guguyi!”
Lim noticed something and suddenly looked outside the cave and shouted. Leti also nervously noticed something.
“This feeling…Russell is almost there!”
"Has he caught up with us? This place is dangerous too."
Then Xu Zhen looked towards the fairy ship.
"You hide here first. We will lead him away."
"Please give my regards to my friends."
“Coo-coo!”
Lati and Ropul then said goodbye to the fairy ship and waved their hands to express their blessings.
"let's go!"
At Xu Zhen's call, everyone except the fairy ship flew out of the cave. As he flew away, Lopul only looked ahead and did not look back. His heart had already been invested in the battle in front of him.
At the same time, this is also the best proof that he is not confused by his choice.
“Bang bang!”
Looking in the direction where Slakic was shouting, there stood Russell shrouded in a dark aura.
The other party discovered Xu Zhen and the others and showed an indescribable smile of joy. Perhaps affected by his emotions, the dark aura blew violently.
"Finally found it. Villain, just accept your fate!"
"No, rather than me, you are the real villain." Xu Zhen and the others all agreed.
Since he pursued so persistently, Russell himself must have corresponding considerations. But Xu Zhen frowned and thought.
(What Russell did was just a one-sided attack out of nothing. That is just like bullying the weak.)
And he himself seriously believed that he was fulfilling the will of justice. This was worse than reckless behavior. At least he was not someone who could be understood through conversation. Xu Zhen thought about it while considering what he should do now.
(In any case, we must not let the fairy ship get caught. For this reason...)
Xu Zhen looked towards Slakic, who also looked up at him, and they nodded to each other. Then - Slakic's flames were released towards Russell.
"Um!"
Russell waved the flying fire bombs with an unhappy expression. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Zhen and his companions escaped again.
"Come here, Russell!"
"Don't try to escape from me!!"
Russell drew his sword and angrily chased after Xu Zhen and the others. Gradually, their figures disappeared into the depths of the forest, and the area around the cave returned to peace.
“Mee…mee!”
The fairy ship looked in the direction where Lopur left, and after a moment, turned and ran to the other side. As declared, they were trying to convey a message to their companions.
For some reason, the fairy ship, which was running at full speed, always had the image of the happy smile of Loppel above Xu Zhen's head in its mind, which made it unforgettable.
In a corner of a training ground in the Elf Village, an explosion caused by a huge flame occurred. Although it was not an accident but the result of magic training, a sound of this scale was rare.
