Early in the morning, in the bedroom before the sun rose, the black-haired young man looked at the letter in his hand. His golden pupils constricted abruptly. His originally calm face was as gloomy as the sky outside the window.
Luo Ya naturally agreed to this point and even wanted to go there personally. But considering Xia Luote's safety, he dismissed the idea.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Luo Ya chose to accompany the young lady and wait for the news. But what he didn't expect was that Master Andrew, who had been preparing for years, didn't have a smooth sailing. Instead, he brought him extremely bad news.
According to the contents of the letter, after Andrew and the others used a spatial spell to teleport, they traveled through the night to the underground ruins that they had explored in the past. However, after two days of exploration, Andrew and the others arrived at the site of the incident, only to find that the entire ruins had been severely damaged. It had already been reduced to ruins.
As the place where Bruce met his demise, this underground ruin that was discovered decades ago wasn't a popular place for adventurers to explore. Therefore, it was easily controlled by Luo Ya's side and they sent specialized personnel to monitor it. But according to the records, it was peaceful in the past few months and there were no signs of outsiders entering at all.
The ruins were destroyed. This was beyond the young man's expectation. But before Luo Ya could think about it carefully, he suddenly heard the young lady's voice behind him. One Second Remember
“！”
At this moment, on the bed, the brown-haired young lady supported herself with her arms, rubbing her sleepy eyes and looking for the young man who was supposed to be by her side. Because of the torment of her illness, Xia Luote's face was a little pale and her body was a little thinner. Her fitted pajamas were slightly loose, revealing a large part of her chest and shoulders.
The young lady who had just woken up and was looking for Luo Ya softly was unusually cute, just like a sleeping beauty who had just woken up and was calling for her knight. Upon hearing such a call, the black-haired young man didn't hesitate and immediately returned to the young lady's side after handling the letter.
"Yes, I'm here. The sky isn't bright yet. Sleep for a while more."
Looking at the young man who had rushed to her side, the hazy girl seemed to be relieved. She grabbed Luo Ya's sleeve and nodded lightly before lying down again. Then, she moved her body slightly into the young man's embrace. On the other side, the black-haired young man looked at the beauty who had fallen into a deep sleep again. He reached out his hand and gently brushed away the hair on the girl's face.
Because of her Highland Elf bloodline, Xia Luote had been managing the family's affairs since she was a child. She had gone through many trials and tribulations, and was very independent. Although she was in love with Luo Ya, she didn't like to cause trouble for him. She even wanted to hide the curse from him.
The black-haired young man was naturally happy to see such a situation. Or rather, it was Luo Ya's dream to become the pillar of support in the heart of a strong young lady. However, after reading this morning's letter, Luo Ya's heart was in a mess.
On the other hand, after reading the letter, the most likely but also the most unacceptable conjecture gradually emerged in the young man's heart.
That was the source of Xia Luote's curse, which was one of the [Six Calamities]. And this ancient monster had escaped after being activated.
Looking at the sleeping girl, Luo Ya's expression became unprecedentedly serious. If the curse came from one of the [Six Calamities], then it was the worst news for Luo Ya and the others. Because so far, humans didn't have any means to accurately detect these terrifying monsters.
This was a popular proverb in Xi Ya, which was often in times of war. It was also the voice of the people in this era.
In the distant eastern front line, after several probing confrontations, the human alliance and the mutated race had begun their official battle. Small-scale encounters no longer occurred, and large-scale positional warfare gradually became the main theme.
Among the fortresses that were heavily defended by several major countries, there was a Tucker Fortress whose combat strength was far lower than any other time in history. It was the Tucker Fortress that was rebuilt after being devoured by the [Hidden Fog]. Although it had barely returned to its original size after more than a year of emergency repairs, it was still only strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Due to this strategic gap, the entire human fortress defense network had a serious flaw. Once the mutated race launched a large-scale attack, it was likely to be broken through. The enemy would directly invade the human world, and the frontline soldiers who were cut off from support would only have a dead end.
There was no doubt that this was a courageous attempt. Probably only the veterans who survived the fourth war of the mutated race nearly a hundred years ago dared to make such a decision. But while sighing at the courage of the older generation, a new problem arose. Because of the initiative to attack, the difficulty of the logistics work suddenly skyrocketed.
"Xia Luote, it's about time …."
Looking at the pale and tired girl sleeping, Luo Ya fell into silence for a while. He looked at Xia Luote with a distressed expression, but he didn't dare to wake her up.
"Although these documents are only about logistics, it is also related to the frontline battle. It may even affect the lives of some soldiers. I must finish it as soon as possible."
"Dear, please."
Every time he saw Xia Luote's pleading eyes, Luo Ya would involuntarily agree to the girl's request. But the young man knew that such high-intensity work was not something a patient could afford, especially for Xia Luote.
It was obvious that the effect of the curse was still being maintained. It was constantly wearing down Xia Luote's life force. However, Luo Chai didn't have any good solutions. He could only suppress it with the Golden Soul.
By now, Luo Ya was almost certain that the curse on Xia Luote's body came from one of the [Six Disasters]. But unlike the [Fog of Concealment] that shook the world, this ancient monster was in a state of hibernation before, so it wasn't very lethal.
The whereabouts of the [Six Disasters] were almost impossible to find, and if the source couldn't be found, it meant that the curse on the girl's body was almost impossible to remove, and recovery was naturally far away.
"Dear … I'm sorry, I fell asleep again."
"But …"
"Dear, dear, wait …"
Seeing Xia Luote like this, Luo Ya couldn't help but secretly sigh in relief. He walked toward the bedroom. Listening to the young man's heartbeat, Xia Luote thought for a moment and slowly spoke.
"Hmm? What do you mean? "
“.....”
"You don't have to apologize. From the situation of the battle, what you did was right. It's better to say that I'm proud of you, but we have different perspectives."
"Yes, for me, your body is more important than anything else."
Facing Xia Luote's question, Luo Ya gave a flat answer. The red-haired girl widened her eyes, then her lips opened for a while, and her face blushed as she turned her eyes away. Seeing this, the black-haired young man continued:
"Wait! Dear, what are you talking about? "
"I can hold on until now because you are by my side, protecting me day and night like a knight, so … don't blame yourself anymore, okay? That will make my heart ache. "
The young man and girl comforted each other and looked at each other affectionately. Their pupils were full of the other half's reflection. After a while, they hugged and kissed, and the two hearts became more and more difficult to separate.
However, what the black-haired young man didn't know was that under this peace, some things were quietly changing.
