Mystic Dominator

"Leighton?"

Hearing this exclamation, Ronald shot the tree spirit to death.

When Kostat stretched out his palm and began to draw away the original magic power from the opponent's body, Ronald turned his head and rushed to where Layton and Hull were.

— at first glance.

—The situation is very bad.

The little girl Hull's eyes were full of panic, while Layton was already lying on the ground, even the ups and downs of breathing from the chest pain had completely disappeared.

"..."

"Let me take a look."

Ronald immediately knelt down beside Layton.

Breathing, pulse, eyeballs...

These conditions for judging the state of the human body, without exception, Layton all met the characteristics at the time of death.

And even more helpless.

It was Ronald who also felt that Layton's thinking was rapidly weakening during the investigation of the power of 'Rage', and then disappeared within the detection range of the spell.

There is no other answer.

Layton is dead.

The middle-aged caster who was able to explore the forest with them just now suddenly fell in front of everyone.

"..."

what happened?

Didn't you say there are still two days left?

Ronald didn't feel any attack on Layton, and he didn't want to be attacked. In this case, Ronald turned his puzzled eyes behind him.

In this direction, the maid's movements after drawing the tree spirit's magic power were swift and smooth.

In the blink of an eye, Kostat also arrived at the place where Layton fell.

Ronald immediately asked for confirmation:

"Kostat, I remember you didn't say that he has two days to live?"

Costat shook his head in apology:

"gentlemen,

It was my mistake. "

"Before, based on Mr. Layton's physical condition and his strong vision to escort Hull home, I made a wrong judgment that I could survive for at most two days... My understanding of human beings is seriously insufficient."

"..."

Ronald understood what Costat said.

After "successfully" sending Hull home, and then watching a series of incidents in which the other party's entire family was wiped out, Layton's obsession with "escorting the other party back home" has completely disappeared.

Lost the support of will.

No matter how difficult it was for this middle-aged practitioner to maintain his state, he fell down here completely.

"..."

At this moment, Ronald looked at Hull with a broken expression.

His eyes were a little helpless.

If the spells he manipulated were used to fight various powerful enemies, or to carry out some investigation work that required meticulous operations, then he could certainly pat his chest to make a guarantee.

But if he wanted to persuade a child whose entire clan had been wiped out and someone he trusted died right in front of his eyes, then he was completely helpless.

If only original books such as parenting guides existed in this world.

Should I come here to learn the above spells?

Just when Ronald was extremely speechless, even when his mind started to think wildly.

Kostat on the side felt his helplessness.

At this time, the maid was uncharacteristically, she took the initiative to cross Ronald's position, and then came to Hull, hugged the little girl in her arms with very gentle movements, and slowly comforted:

"My child, if you are sad, cry out loud."

"Costat is here, I will help you..."

"..."

"Woooo... ahhh!"

Hale cried out, eventually turning into wails of nothing but pain.

Costat, on the other hand, kept his moves.

As the maid said before, she tried her best to comfort the emotionally broken little girl in front of her, and also provided her with psychological and physical protection.

Ronald stood close by.

He could clearly feel that the maid in front of him didn't use any spells.

Costat just used this kind of gentle female posture to comfort the little girl in front of him in words and actions as much as possible, and at the same time let the other party vent the pain in his heart.

some moment.

Ronald almost thought that this was really a human girl full of maternal brilliance!

"..."

It took a lot of time to appease the little girl and the follow-up processing here.

After burying the body of the middle-aged spellcaster Layton in the forest, and disposing of the dryads and the corpses of monsters killed everywhere, it was dusk.

Just in this case.

Costat came to Ronald with the sleeping little girl in his arms.

Ronald could even see that Layton's last rune pendant was still hanging on Hull's slender neck.

It's just that Costat's next words ruined the atmosphere.

The maid asked in a very flat tone:

"Sir, shall we return her to the forest, or carry her on?"

"..."

Ronald was speechless for a moment.

This is the real Costa - after handling the job of appeasing the girl, she showed her extremely indifferent attitude towards other things in front of Ronald.

"..."

Ronald thought for a few seconds.

Then answered in a way that didn't fit the question:

"Costat, didn't you say that you were trying to upgrade emotionally?"

"If you really want to achieve this, then in dealing with affairs and people other than me, or the Adler family. You probably need to change the previous blunt attitude, this is the key to dealing with emotional issues .”

"..."

Costat stood still and blinked.

She never expected to get such a reply from Ronald.

What made the maid even more concerned was that after calculation, she found that what Ronald said was indeed a feasible plan to try.

Costat spoke almost subconsciously:

"Sir, I am overwhelmed by your wisdom."

Ronald didn't realize that Costat's emotions at this time were really produced subconsciously, so he waved his hand with a wry smile as always:

"I said stop flattering like this."

"..."

Kostat lowered his head slightly:

"Sir, this is my heartfelt compliment."

"..."

The little episode is over.

The repetitive and boring on-the-road link starts again.

After the previous period of exploration, Ronald and the others have gradually approached the center of the forest from the southeast corner of the Joyz Forest. And the northern center in the dryad's mouth now requires them to incline their route to the northwest.

At this time, Hull actually showed her uniqueness.

This unique life that grew up in the primeval forest is not afraid of all kinds of things that appear suddenly like ordinary children. Even if Ronald and Costa would sometimes leave her alone in order to deal with the battle, Hull would honestly wait for the two to deal with the battle and return to their original positions, and would not do anything that might lead to danger during the period.

Even when facing some special plants or animals.

She can also make some suitable suggestions and information.

In this way, the three-person team advanced for three full days.

At their advancing speed, which was definitely not in line with normal human beings, their position was also close to the northern central part of the forest that the dryad said.

Yet it is here.

A very special situation presented itself.

Green powdery objects visible to the naked eye permeated the woods ahead, enveloping everything while restricting the range of sight.

The three of Ronald stopped here, and all the problems followed.

What is this kind of thing?

What kind of danger would there be in rushing in?

More importantly, are these powders the product of that mother in the dryad's mouth?
