"Ah, what a terrifying scream."
In the pitch-black scene, a scream ca through. No matter who encountered such a situation, they would have to beco cautious.
"But why does it sound like a human scream?"
It’s not like it, it really was soone screaming, shouting "Don’t co near !" while they scread.
Tami understood that he had encountered another adventurer. He didn’t know whether the other person was from Bed City or the Royal City.
But since he heard the scream, it wouldn’t make sense not to go and check it out; even if he didn’t intend to rescue them, he should at least take a look.
If it was the Light Eagle Group, it wouldn’t be good, as that would an their progress was also not bad, making it hard for the Skyrim Strategy Group to maintain their advantage.
While silently dealing with monsters along the way, Tami moved towards the source of the sound. Not long after, he heard hurried footsteps running toward him, and from the sound, he could tell the person was very panicked.
A figure appeared, a woman, and she was dressed in the Light Eagle Group’s gear.
Tami suddenly didn’t feel like saving her, but after a brief struggle between his inner angel and demon, he decided to step in.
Leaping out, Tami pushed the female rcenary of the Light Eagle Group into the crevice where he was hiding before, drawing his sword towards the direction she ca from and shouting, "Don’t worry, I’m here to save you."
The rcenary instantly understood, curling up in the crevice, not daring to move. At this mont, heavy footsteps ca from the darkness.
Judging by the sound, this monster must weigh several hundred pounds, probably a super big beast.
Tami looked at his One-Handed Sword and suddenly felt a bit worried. What if he couldn’t defeat it? In his rush to save soone, he had forgotten about himself...
It’s here, the footsteps were closer, and the colossal monster was about to reveal its true form!
"Co on, I’m not afraid of you!" Tami shouted loudly as if to bolster his courage.
"You are...?"
A puzzled voice of a young girl ca from the darkness. Tami was stunned, and when he saw the face of the approaching figure, he let out a cry, "Ah!"
"You, you are... Gus?" The mory of the girl who once saved him with her greatsword was vivid in his mind.
"You are... who again?" Elsa entirely couldn’t recall Tami’s na. Back then, he probably didn’t even ntion his na to anyone.
"What’s going on, why did your companion run away?"
"Ah, the monster is coming!"
Just as Tami was about to ask what was happening, the female rcenary scread and ran away without looking back, her actions full of panic.
Elsa’s eyes dimd for a mont as she turned and walked into the darkness.
"This," Tami didn’t understand what was happening, but he thought he had to catch up and find out. After careful consideration, he ran over and grabbed Elsa’s wrist. She had once saved him, and if she was in trouble, he owed her.
"Don’t touch !" Elsa flicked her arm away, causing Tami to uncontrollably step back.
Her wrist was slender and soft, making it hard to believe so much strength could co from such a thin arm.
"Ah, I’m sorry," Elsa, flustered, bit her lip and explained, "I’ve been cursed, don’t co near ..."
Cursed?
Tami gritted his teeth and drank from an Elental Bottle, his arm’s bone had been shattered by Elsa’s flicking. Thankfully, he had the almighty Elental Bottle.
This thing worked much better than a Healing Potion! He had only gotten his hands on it for less than half an hour and already loved it.
"After the torches went out, everyone thought I was a monster," Elsa said sadly, "everyone ran away, probably because I was cursed."
The torches went out?
Tami looked past Elsa, into the darkness behind her. It was as black and solid as an abyss. Without a source of light, the endless dark could really drive soone crazy.
"But why do you say you’ve been cursed?"
"Because a monster cast a magic on , and then everyone got scared," Elsa’s tone was low, but she asked curiously, "why weren’t you scared?"
"Uh..."
What could Tami say? In his eyes, Elsa looked just as she originally did. Who would be afraid of a beautiful girl?
"Maybe I have a stronger willpower," he could only say.
Elsa nodded, semi-understanding, and turned to walk into the darkness again.
Why was she leaving after just two sentences?
Tami scratched his head, rembering the wise words of Luluwo:
"More friends an more paths. If you see soone in need, try to help them. Of course, help but don’t get yourself hurt, and don’t help bad people. It’s all up to your judgent."
"She shouldn’t be a bad person, and also..."
He recalled what Roger, the Magic Advisor of the Skyrim Strategy Group, had told him:
"A man shouldn’t leave a sad, beautiful girl unattended!"
Though he felt these words were sowhat frivolous, Elsa’s lonely silhouette before him, coupled with how she had helped him, made him decide—
"Hey, what are you going to do next? I’m also separated from my companions, shall we team up again?" Tami chased after her.
Elsa stared at him for a while, making sure his intention was sincere.
"I’m going to find my companions," she said, "leaving them here worries ."
"Then you don’t have to worry about the one who ran just now, it’s safe back there."
