Chapter 260: 259 “He will definitely co. Chapter 260: 259 “He will definitely co. “Rumble…”
In a daze, Tielle seed to feel a slight vibration.
It appeared to be an earthquake coming from a far-off distance that lightly reached here.
Because of this faint tremor, Tielle woke up and opened her eyes.
“Are you awake?”
As soon as she opened her eyes, Tielle heard a familiar and gentle voice.
So, Tielle turned her head and looked beside her.
There, Vivian, who had leaned her shield against the rock wall, was looking at her with a smile on her face.
Upon closer inspection, multiple spots on Vivian’s body were stained with blood and dust; she seed unhard but looked very weary and disheveled.
Beside her, Lu Muya and rica were leaning their heads against each other. Like Vivian, they were covered in blood and dust, utterly exhausted as if they had just been through a fierce battle.
And, of course, Tielle was the sa.
At that mont, Tielle leaned against the rock wall like Vivian, with the most blood and dirt on her, looking the most tired and disheveled among them all.
This scene instantly reminded Tielle of everything.
Yes.
They had fallen into a trap.
They had fallen into the trap set by those Nobles who wanted her life, and that’s why she and everyone from Vivian’s Team had wound up deep in Artlu Canyon, looking the way they did now.
Tielle vaguely rembered those Nobles, filled with hatred, commanding their guards and Knights to charge at her and her companions. They had desperately resisted, nearly fighting and fleeing at the sa ti for a whole three days, before they temporarily shook off their pursuers and found this relatively hidden cave, where they all collapsed in exhaustion.
Rembering this, Tielle fell silent for a long ti.
“It’s my fault that I’ve dragged you all down.”
After a long silence, Tielle spoke those words.
“Don’t say that,” Vivian replied with her usual tenderness. “We are companions, after all.”
Clearly, Vivian didn’t want Tielle to take all the bla upon herself.
But Tielle wouldn’t accept it.
“I an it, I’ve dragged you all, my companions, down.”
Tielle murmured this, looking at the ceiling of the cave.
“Of course not,” Vivian insisted. “As companions, there’s no question of dragging anyone down. Otherwise, Lu Muya and rica would feel guilty.”
Tielle could hear the unspoken aning in Vivian’s words.
Because, in the past, Tielle, as the strongest mber of the team, had often taken care of Lu Muya and rica.
Lu Muya and rica had felt ashad more than once for this, and it was only because of the Adventurer’s creed that “companions should help each other” that they had accepted Tielle’s care.
In such a situation, if Tielle continued to insist that she had been a burden to her companions, then perhaps Lu Muya and rica would indeed feel guilty.
“…Then let put it another way,” Tielle said with a pause, and then she sighed. “Thank you, Vivian.”
This thank you was sothing Tielle had to give.
After all, the reason they had been able to hold out for three entire days in this canyon was all because of Vivian’s protection.
It was because Vivian had always stood in front of them, attracting all the attacks and bearing all the injuries that Tielle and the others had been able to survive until now.
Although, it seed, they had now reached their limit.
At least, Tielle realized that Vivian’s Magic Power was on the verge of exhaustion.
If her Magic Power were drained, then even Vivian would no longer be able to use her incredible defensive power to shelter her teammates.
Of course, there was always a smile on Vivian’s face that completely hid this fact.
“No need to thank ,” Vivian said, as if to soothe her, “and don’t worry, we’ll escape.”
This gentle and kind Team Leader kept caring for Tielle’s fragile heart.
Surely, Vivian also knew, didn’t she?
Knew about the unease in Tielle’s heart.
Tielle wasn’t afraid to die.
In fact, Tielle had always been prepared to face death.
Because she was very clear about the difficult situation she was in and even clearer about how strong That Person she wanted to challenge in her life was.
Facing such adversity and such a formidable foe, it would not be surprising at all if she died at any mont.
So Tielle had long been prepared.
But if the people by my side are implicated because of and ultimately die, then Tielle could not escape the bla.
That was Tielle’s anxiety.
What if we are attacked again?
What if soone in the team is killed for being associated with ?
It’s not a pity if I die, but the people by my side should not have to suffer because of .
That’s what Tielle thought, which is why she felt anxious.
Perhaps Vivian had sensed this anxiety, which is why she had comforted Tielle, right?
(This person, as always, is gentle and perceptive…)
Tielle could only smile bitterly within her heart and then speak up.
“If need be, you all can abandon and run.”
By doing so, perhaps those who hated her wouldn’t make things difficult for Vivian and the others, right?
Unfortunately…
“Do you think I would accept that?”
For the first ti, the gentleness vanished from Vivian’s face, and she stared intently at Tielle with a burning gaze.
Tielle dared not look at such a Vivian.
Because she feared Vivian would be disappointed in her.
In this world, the people Tielle cared about were few, and Vivian was one of them.
This person had protected Tielle from myriad malice for many years and was the one Tielle trusted and even depended on the most.
With that in mind, Tielle couldn’t bring herself to look Vivian in the eye.
Just…
“I really don’t want to see any of you die because of .”
Tielle couldn’t help but voice what was in her heart.
To this, Vivian had but one response.
“I don’t want to see you die before ,” Vivian said, gazing at Tielle with a smile. “Therefore, I will protect you, I will protect everyone, and ensure all mbers of our team leave this place unhard and return to the Royal Capital.”
This was both a pledge and a determination.
“Trust .”
Vivian spoke to Tielle in this way.
And incredibly, it was these words that subconsciously gave Tielle peace of mind, a sense of reassurance.
There was no other way, for if the Kingdom’s Guardian God made such a promise, she most certainly could keep it.
Moreover…
“I can feel that as long as we persist, That Person will indeed co before us.”
The words softly spoken by Vivian caused a flash in Tielle’s eyes.
She knew who Vivian was referring to.
The Hero who was entrusted with her high hopes and the one in whom she placed her own wishes and hopes.
“Will he co?”
Tielle murmured without realizing it.
“He will.”
Vivian smiled sweetly and nodded, her voice ringing out strong and clear.
“He will certainly co.”
Perhaps this was rely a baseless idea.
But Vivian, for so unknown reason, firmly believed it.
Her strong tone instilled hope in Tielle as well.
If it was That Person, he would undoubtedly be able to lead them out of this predicant.
As for herself, it didn’t matter at all.
But Vivian and the others, they couldn’t die here.
Therefore, Tielle too made up her mind.
“Until he arrives, we must hold on no matter what.”
Even if it ant resorting to “that move,” she would not hesitate.
