The entrance to the city gate is tall and wide, and not far in front of the city gate, there is a row of large ballista carts.
The ballista cart looks like a simple medieval city-breaking weapon, but the prayer inscriptions engraved on it and the faint golden light emitting from each crossbow arrow show how extraordinary this weapon is.
After all, this is a world where gods really exist, and the city lord is still a demigod, so it is impossible to really use ordinary weapons like in the Middle Ages.
The appearance may be similar, but the essence is completely different.
"Um……"
Looking at the ballista carts that occupied an area of at least four or five cubic meters, Xia Yu thought for a moment, and then chose to put away the rows of ballista carts with a wave of his hand.
No matter whether it is used or not, put it away first and then talk about it.
After a while, the ballista cart that guarded the city gate and blocked the enemy's massive attack disappeared.
Looking at the city gate that looked like locusts passing through, Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction. It was much emptyer now. I believe those dead soldiers would definitely thank him.
After putting away all the weapons that could still be used, Xia Yu stepped into the city gate. Behind the city gate was a wide passage, and the torches inserted in the wall brought some light into the passage.
This passage was the only way to the city. After walking for a few minutes, a blessing emitting a faint golden light appeared in front of Xia Yu.
Only those who have faded can see blessings, but not all faded people can see blessings.
This is not only a shelter where the faded can rest safely, but also an anchor point that guides the faded forward.
After thinking about it, Xia Yu stepped forward and "lit" the blessing, which meant leaving his own mark on this blessing. Speaking of it, it seemed that he had not upgraded for a while.
I just took this opportunity to chat with Melina and build up my goodwill.
While thinking about it, he sat down cross-legged along with the blessing, but before he could call Melina, the azure starlight had already condensed.
Melina materialized from the illusion and knelt down beside Xia Yu.
"Do I need to turn Rune into my own power again?" She turned around and said.
Although she didn't know much about Xia Yu, and even though he had secrets about him that she couldn't see through at all, the two of them had developed a tacit understanding.
"certainly."
There is one more step to strengthening oneself in reality than in the game, and that is that Melina will show up every time and hold hands to strengthen herself.
When upgrading in the game, you will never see Melina at all. Unless Melina happens to appear, you will upgrade hand in hand.
Anyway, compared to the soul-three fireproof girl who also helped the protagonist upgrade, Melina lost completely.
However, in some unspeakable websites, Melina has won very thoroughly, and the volume of her works far exceeds that of the most popular Lani.
As the obscure incantation sounded, the runes accumulated in Xia Yu's body also became active.
The next moment, the warm Rune integrated into his body again, strengthening his body and constitution. The strengthening of his constitution also greatly improved his strength, speed, and reaction ability.
Magic power can be cultivated and increased in other ways, but the stolen runes are most suitable for strengthening physical fitness.
After a while, the strengthening was completed. This time, Melina did not leave first, but looked at Xia Yu with a steady gaze and said.
"Do you want to challenge the first demigod? Although the city lord of Stonewell is the weakest demigod, you should be careful and don't be careless."
"Also, you are not traveling alone. I am always with you."
Hearing this, Xia Yu was a little surprised. Melina's words just now... didn't fit her dull personality.
After noticing the surprise on Xia Yu's face, Melina felt a little confused. Did she just say something strange?
"What are you wondering about?"
"Um..." Hearing Melina's question, Xia Yu was a little embarrassed, why did he show his expression?
"It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised that you actually care about me."
Hearing this answer, Melina frowned with dissatisfaction: "In your mind, am I just someone who doesn't care about my companions?"
"no……"
"Humph, forget it, since you think so, then so be it."
Melina turned into a blue star and left without waiting for Xia Yu to say any words of explanation.
Xia Yu was a little dumbfounded by this scene. This...isn't this right? He was obviously planning to increase his favor, but why did he seem to have lost his favor?
Also, tsundere doesn’t suit you. That’s Lani’s persona, and yours is Sanwu.
But Melina has already left, and the other party probably won't listen to what he wants to say.
At this time, Xia Yu wanted to slap himself in the mouth, why didn't he control his mouth just now?
"Melina? Melina?"
After calling twice, Melina didn't respond. Xia Yu had a headache. What should he do? He had no experience in comforting girls, especially this girl was not an ordinary girl, but a girl possessing him.
Well... forget it, let's wait until the next time we meet to apologize.
After confirming that Melina really ignored him, Xia Yu stopped calling the other party. At this time, he couldn't see enough to keep disturbing the other party, so his favorability level might have to drop a bit.
After adapting to his increased physique, Xia Yu stood up from the blessing place, preparing to fight with the evil omen demons and vent his frustrations.
Melina, who was possessing Xia Yu on the other side, was also a little depressed. She just didn't want Xia Yu to feel lonely.
But the other party not only didn't understand her good intentions, but also had a deep prejudice against her, which was very irritating anyway.
During the time she possessed Xia Yu, she could also observe the other person's condition, although the other person did not seem to have any mental problems.
However, she often found that Xia Yu was particularly prone to being in a daze alone. Under her observation, he not only often looked dazed and dazed, but also occasionally laughed nervously and weirdly.
If Xia Yu hadn't behaved normally and was normal when studying with the magic teacher, she would have doubted whether Xia Yu had really been alone for too long, so his mind began to become abnormal.
After all, a person has the mission of becoming a king, and there is no accompanying witch to accompany him and share the pressure.
Although she can transform runes into power, she is not Xia Yu's witch. She is still a special soul, so she cannot accompany him all the time and help him share the pressure of travel.
Thinking of this, Melina felt that her behavior just now was not very good. She was obviously planning to have a good chat with him and enlighten him by the way, but she left in anger because of one word.
Apologize to him the next time we meet.
…
After leaving Blessing, the end of the passage is the broken cliff battlefield, which is also the first line of defense of Stonewell City.
After passing through the defense line, you can reach the real inner city gate.
In the game, you can summon Brother Jie, the magician Roger, for help at the gate of the cliff battlefield. Unfortunately, Xia Yu, who arrived at the gate, did not find the summoning mark after searching.
He had no choice but to give up, took out the Soul Summoning Bell, prepared the ashes of the three wolves and one jellyfish, and stepped into it firmly.
I've been so busy lately that I feel like my brain is drying up. I finished the two chapters and, alas, I started getting busy right after they were released. The update also directly changed my crotch. I didn't want to, and my gums were inflamed and painful.
