Chapter 152 - 18: Rallying_l
Jasmine didn’t act rashly.
Even after looking at the murals on both sides of the secret passage and finding a large, mysterious bronze door at the end, she felt the urge to explore it alone.
She curbed that impulse decisively and decided to continue waiting.
Forcing herself to stop the stride that had already carried her to the bronze door, she exited the secret passage and securely closed the iron door with a metallic thud.
After consideration, she still deemed it somewhat risky and performed several consecutive secondary Mudstone techniques.
The mud in the tunnel transformed into soil, forming a soil wall that completely hid the iron door.
Still feeling somewhat uneasy after noting the exact location of the iron door, she buried the whole painstakingly dug tunnel section that was near the door.
Act within your capabilities, don’t overdo it.
This was the bottom line that Jasmine set for herself before entering the Inter- Dimensional Teleportation Portal.
Jasmine knew that with her power alone, she couldn’t detect the various unknowns that might exist behind the bronze door, let alone deal with any dangers that might arise.
Even if there was no danger, no unknowns, even if there was only a great deal
of information.
Jasmine didn’t believe she could find crucial clues from it alone in a short time. Therefore, Jasmine calmed down in time and didn’t impulsively open the bronze door.
She’d better wait for that guy Link to come, and then explore together what secrets are behind the bronze door.
In this regard, that guy was still trustworthy.
Hmph!
Jasmine couldn’t help feeling angry again at the thought of Link.
But as she remained angry, Jasmine noticed something wrong.
She didn’t seem to be as angry as before.
Upon slight recollection, a doubt arose in Jasmine’s heart.
Was she so angry just because of seeing the two simple words “crazy woman”?
Even if she was to get angry, it wouldn’t have been so serious.
Jasmine realized that her emotions seemed to have been magnified invisibly before, and her thoughts easily became extreme.
This included the subconscious action of walking towards the bronze door after seeing it, wanting to open it.
Fortunately, she didn’t have the idea of exploring alone and stopped in time. That iron door, that secret passage, those murals, including that bronze door, absolutely had a problem!
“Why are you still not here?”
Jasmine murmured to herself, unable to help worrying about that annoying
guy-
With that guy around, facing these situations, she didn’t need to worry about this and that at all.
The Link who Jasmine was worrying about was hurrying through the night at
this moment.
Battles broke out consecutively in the valley.
With the commotion so large and fires filling the sky, it wasn’t a place to stay
for long.
The regrettable thing was that there were no spoils of war this time.
A losing battle fought.
A single great weapon was not enough to directly kill a member of the “Pure Blood Will” who wore the “Defender 3202” suit.
After the damage from numerous ordinary Timed Auto-Destruction Bombs and Enhanced Versions of Delayed Blast Tablefire were stacked, things were different.
If the academy’s protective measures hadn’t been triggered in time, moving the “Pure Blood Will” members away, they would have definitely died on the spot.
The consequence was that it didn’t leave time for Link to collect the spoils of
war.
Link could only look at the ownerless Flying Spheres and Bionic Eagles that were still hovering over the valley, murmuring what a pity, and missing out.
Taking advantage of the “moonlight”, the three of them walked for more than two hours.
Along the way, relying on the real-time reconnaissance of the Flying Spheres and Bionic Eagles, the three of them avoided several groups of different peop e and beasts.
in a short time, as long as the “Pure Blood Will’s” people didn’t purposely provoke him, Link didn’t plan on causing any more upheaval.
Standing out too much was not a good thing, as it made one a target.
He decided to keep a low profile for a while, hurry along, and meet up with
Jasmine as soon as possible.
At most he would complete some side tasks along the way, or push forward the progress of the main task a little.
Picking a suitable place, Link told Dalton and Elise, “Let’s rest here and continue our journey after sunrise.
“Alright, boss.”
Dalton complied and took the initiative to clear up the area.
Elise yawned lazily, pulled out a recliner from her small bag, lay down, narrowed her eyes, and stretched lazily.
Comfortable and content.
Dalton looked at relaxed Elise, then looked at his own heavy bag, and his feelings were complex.
He was, after all, a top ten student in the grade, not extremely knowledgeable, but had a decent amount of knowledge.
He had heard a lot about the famous space Storage Magic Tool, even though he had never touched it, he had at least seen textual descriptions and video demonstrations.
The moment he identified the small bag around Elise’s waist, Dalton deeply understood the disparity between the rich and the poor.
What class and hierarchy meant.
After a while, his emotions eased a bit.
Well, some people were just born into privilege.
He would just have to follow the boss slowly and develop in his own way.
He sighed and continued to smooth out the ground. Link didn’t justly stand by, he also joined in the labor. After several consecutive casts of the Withering Spell, all the weeds were cleared.
He then set up two folding chairs, and a campsite for short rest was ready.
“Sit.”
Link took off his big bag which was partially cleaned out, sat on a chair, and signaled Dalton to sit down and rest too.
No need to make the campsite too good for temporary camping.
“Thank you, boss.”
Dalton leaned back in the chair, relaxed his whole body, and let out a contented sigh.
