Civilization Guardian Front

Tifa nodded silently.

The partner had no objection, which made Chios heave a sigh of relief.Putting away the compass, he led the black-haired girl through the trail to the foot of the mountain where the Xingjia Shrine is located. Ignoring the stone steps leading to the top of the mountain, he changed his pace and walked into the dark forest where he could not see his fingers.

Neither of the late-night visitors is mortal, though.Although the vision is poor in the dark, you can still basically see the outline of the surrounding within ten steps, and the hearing is to pay attention to all the movements around you at any time.

After walking unhurriedly towards the top of the mountain for a while, Tifa suddenly reminded in a deep voice:

"Someone is moving on top of the mountain."

Hearing this, the young man narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the Eternal City, he knew that the source magic that Tifa learned was airflow control, and he also possessed a destiny wonder related to the atmosphere, which was very sensitive to changes in wind and airflow.

Sensation of presence, most likely an unnatural movement of air produced by the movement of others.

Therefore, Chios didn't doubt it at all, but quickly took out the thermal imaging night vision scope of the TAC-50 sniper rifle from the space, and looked towards the girl's pointing point.

In the picture sent back after the scope senses infrared rays, a white human figure can be clearly seen walking around the perimeter of the building. Although it is impossible to see the opponent's appearance, it is not difficult to deduce from its body shape and the rules of Xingjia Shrine. An adult priestess in a shrine.

From the behavior point of view, there is no fixed pattern for this witch to move around, and the possibility of regular patrols can be ruled out.Coupled with the fact that the other party turned around repeatedly, there seemed to be a certain sense of anxiety, but they were aimless.

(Are you restless? Sure enough...)

Strangers who don't fit any plot approach the shrine in the middle of the night, and the inner anxiety of the shrine maiden who lives there is magnified by the interference of fate.

However, even with inexplicable worries in her heart, this priestess has no idea what she is worried about, and can only move back and forth in the shrine, just worrying.

From this point of view, the intervention of the will of the world on the plot characters in this mission is mainly to enhance the sense of crisis, coupled with imperceptible hints and guidance...

It was a very subtle and effective method, but because of this, it gave Chios an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Let me take advantage of your insecurities..."

The corner of his mouth hooked slightly, and the young man put away the night vision scope, and gestured for Tifa to follow.

Walking quietly among the trees, the two came to the stairs halfway up the mountain.

The only official way to the shrine is the stone steps. Unless the young Toyama Kinji and Xingka Shirayuki walked into the forest with nothing to do, they would have to pass through this place if they wanted to leave the shrine and go to Asamushi Town.

Of course, Chios prefers to make two-handed preparations. Even if the opponent does not play according to the rules and instead goes through the forest, he has thought of corresponding means.

However, the record can be prepared tomorrow.For now, let's focus on the most likely side...

Passing the night vision scope to the girl beside him, Chios whispered:

"Watch out for me if any priestesses leave the shrine and approach us."

Although she was very curious about the young man's means, Tifa still nodded in agreement, took over the scope, and took on the job of guarding.

There was someone behind him to take care of him, and Chios slowly squatted down, his index and middle fingers closed together to form a finger knife, and he drew a scarf-like crossing line in the void.

"Ground"

The rune has a thick color like soil, and the faint light looks extremely low-key in the night, and Chios deliberately covered it with a cloak to block all possible exposure.

Pointing at the soil below the stone steps, the rune light also focused on the direction of the fingertips.

next moment...

The compacted soil, which was not wet and had not been exposed to high temperatures, unexpectedly silently dissolved a small hole with a diameter of five centimeters.

The young man concentrated his mind to feel the progress of the rune power of the earth, and continued to liquefy the soil until it was just below the center of the stone steps, and then stopped.

The whole process only takes about half a minute...

Chios cut off the supply of source power, and the runes that lost energy dimmed and dissipated.

Then, with a false grip, he took out a golf ball-shaped metal sphere from the heraldry space.

The remote-controlled bomb made by the tailor shop has a maximum power equivalent to 100 grams of TNT explosives. The power and remote control are controlled through the Earl of Pembroke's exclusive mobile phone.

With a slight toss, the harmless-looking metal ball rolled down the steps into the hole.

Draw the "earth" rune again.

This time it was no longer dissolving, but refilling the hole with soil, eliminating all traces of hands and feet.

After everything was handled properly, another "golf" appeared in Chios' hands...

"Nineteen more to bury."

...

From the stairs halfway up the mountain to the foot of the mountain, a remote-controlled bomb was buried every fifth step.

Due to the need to control the volume of the action, Chios and Tifa moved lightly among the bushes, and it took nearly an hour to complete the arrangement of all the bombs.

Meanwhile, the priestesses in Xingjia Shrine seemed to be getting more and more nervous. The number of people walking around the shrine changed from one person at first to three later.

Through the thermal imaging scope, you can see what they are discussing when they gather together.

It's a pity that there may be countless forms of unknown crises. Even if these witches use divination in the end, they can only get very vague information in the absence of direction.

The paradox of the will of the world is that, knowing that there is some kind of danger, the fate is still performed according to the established script as much as possible, and cannot be canceled due to unspecific anxiety.

Then, take the initiative to fall into the trap that I have prepared for a long time...

(Hehe, what a bunch of pathetic puppets.)

Thinking of this, the young man hiding in the shadow of the forest showed an expectant smile in the direction of the mountaintop shrine.

When he looked away, his expression had returned to his usual indifference, and he whispered to the black-haired girl beside him:

"Let's go, Tifa..."

Chios turned around, calmly tidied up the burgundy silk scarf that was not skewed at all, and took steps towards Asamushi Town.

"Today's mission has been completed."
