Dragoon Sentinel

Chapter 5 05 - The Alarm Bell Rings

One day after coming to this world, Nuo Lei has already remembered the town that saved him in his heart.

In the interstellar world, this quiet town is the most respected paradise on the huge light curtain. There are no terrible noises, only natural whispers, no power struggles, only the daily life of neighbors.

He even thought that if he could not leave this world, he would come back here to settle down after touring the world, sit in a rocking chair and warm himself by the fire, and spend the rest of his life peacefully.But when he passed through the portal built by the night demon, he heard the cry of purgatory.

The night devil's portal was set in a low abandoned cellar, and there were layers of spider webs on the wall, and a thick layer of ash fell when he stomped his feet.As soon as Nuo Lei stepped out of the portal, pain and despair hit like a hurricane. He quickly covered his ears, but his keen sense of hearing still stuffed those helpless voices into his brain. He hummed with a splitting headache and staggered leaning against the wall.

West, who was following behind, watched this scene in amazement, and a thought flashed in his mind: erosion.

West has read about the state changes of mana erosion in the literature. The initial reaction is a headache. The text describes the pain as being hit by a chisel. A puppet that corrodes and becomes a monster.

We had to find a way... West's heart seemed to be jumping out of his chest nervously, and his staff became slippery from his sweaty palm. He forced his breath to stabilize, and recited the holy words in a trembling voice.

At the same time as the holy mantra appeared, a gentle golden light sprinkled on Nuo Lei's body.The wonderful sense of tranquility dilutes the impact of the noise, Nuo Lei licked, and his cloudy eyes regained their clarity.

"God, are you alright?" West stopped singing, and helped him up in a panic, "You didn't get attacked when you were fighting the Night Demon just now, did you?"

"No, this is an old problem. I didn't expect your spell to relieve me." Nuo Lei's face was pale, and he still covered his ears with his hands. "Can you destroy the portal?"

"Of course, it's easy."

"Well, you destroy the portal, I'll go out and have a look first."

"No problem, but wait a minute—" West raised his staff and chanted again.The holy light condensed from nothingness, and after a while, the looming golden light shield attached to Nuo Lei's body.

A faint warmth flowed soothingly through Nuo Lei's brain, continuously relieving the sharp pain, and Nuo Lei looked at West in surprise.West, whose face turned pale, quickly took out the magic potion and drank it, wiped his mouth without restraint and said, "Go, the Holy Shield won't last long, I'll come right over."

"Okay." Without delay, Norley turned and left, and West heaved a sigh of relief seeing that his body was still in good shape.

Well, it's time for him to get to work, too.He looked back at the Twisting Portal, and raised his staff confidently.

The wooden stairs to the cellar were rotting away, and many of the partitions were missing, and Norley strode up to the ground, surprised to find that the cellar belonged to a church.

The church has been in disrepair for a long time, and the glass windows on all sides are broken, revealing the bare window lattice; a large area of ​​the triangular slanted roof is damaged, directly exposing the gray sky; Ash.

Nuo Lei glanced at it, and his gaze was fixed on the north corner, a prayer room.

John was huddled in this narrow and cramped prayer room, untimely holding an iron rake that was as tall as a person.

A few minutes ago, he was doing "special training" in this abandoned church, and his weapon was this nondescript farm tool.He wanted to be a treasure hunter, and even though he was rejected by Edwink, he didn't give up, and he was training in this church where no one cared about him without saying a word.

He hoped that he would become a blockbuster in the future, but... when he saw the sneaky alien creature coming out of the cellar, his ambition turned into fear, and by the time he recovered, he had already shrunk here.

Papa Ed was right, he wasn't cut out to be a treasure hunter at all.

John prayed for the blessing of the Holy Light in frustration, and suddenly, through the thin door panel, a strange voice came in: "John, are you inside?"

John shivered, staring at the door in disbelief, and unconsciously clenched the iron rake in his hand.

There was no reply outside the door, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'm Nuo Lei, remember, the outsider who lives in Ed's father's house."

Hearing the words Papa Ed, John's conditioned reflex relaxed his nerves. He opened the door cautiously, and saw the red-haired young man standing outside the door.Their eyes met, and the young man smiled slightly. His olive green eyes were warm and quiet, silently calming John's nerves.

"Kang Dang——" the iron rake fell to the ground, John didn't care much, and rushed straight to Nuo Lei and said incoherently, "Holy Light, bless you, why is it you, Papa Ed?"

"Papa is still in the Valley of Meditation, and it was also attacked there," Norley replied, "Why are you here?"

"I'm doing special training," John scratched his head shyly, and said angrily, "I want to make myself stronger, maybe Dad Ed will be able to fancy me, but I think it's too simple."

"I heard the bell, what's the matter?" Norley asked.

"The bell? That's the bell tower of another church..." As he spoke, John's expression changed. "Oops, Norley, that's probably my father's warning to the whole town! I'm afraid he might have—" John tightened his grip on Norey's arm, showing fear.

Nuo Lei patted the back of his hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, he's still alive."

There was a complaint from the cellar: "Oh my God, is this place allowed to be walked by? Norley, are you there?"

"Who is it?" John asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, it's the child of Papa Ed's friend." As soon as Norley mentioned Papa Ed, John felt relieved. It seemed that Edwink had a very high status in his mind.

Norley walked to the entrance of the cellar, and stretched out his hand to the disgruntled West: "Come up."

West held his hand unceremoniously, and was carried directly to the ground. He patted his dirty robe symbolically, frowned and looked at the rustic John, "Who is he?"

"Son of the mayor, let's go and save others."

"Why don't you ask the portal?"

"I believe you."

Ripples appeared in West's heart lake, and he held back his smile and pointed to John and asked, "Then what should he do?"

"Take it." Norley suggested after a pause, "Give him a protection spell, just like you did just now."

West glared at him, and slandered: Do you think anyone is worthy of letting me use up all my mana to cast this level of Holy Shield?You idiot!His vicious look scared John, and John waved his hands hastily: "It's okay, I will follow you closely."

Nuo Lei glanced at the two of them inexplicably, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

Out of the abandoned church, John originally wanted to lead the way, but he didn't expect Norley to be more familiar with the town he lived in than him, and even developed a shortcut that even he didn't know.John followed him dumbfounded, watching him unflinchingly dispose of the sneaking night goblins and save the bewildered townspeople without slowing down at all.

"It's amazing..." John muttered to himself, this is the person who can become a treasure hunter.

Soon, they saw their destination, the Holy Light Church in Candin Town.More than a dozen night demons surrounded this red-spired building, smashed into the gate, smashed the window glass and tried to attack the people inside. That's all it does.

"You two, pay attention to safety, I will deal with them." Nuo Lei warned, and rushed up quickly.The night demons surrounding the church did not notice the danger at all. They saw bright red burning into the encirclement like tongues of flame, harvesting the life of the intruders. West did not stand idly by, raised his staff and chanted holy words, constantly Added Holy Blessing to Nori.

John stared dumbfounded at their cooperation, and felt more and more that his initial thoughts were too naive. The world of adventurers was not suitable for him. He should guard his home well.Thinking of this, he raised his only "weapon" iron rake, alerting the surrounding situation.

Nuo Lei's killing efficiency was astonishing, his expression remained motionless, the only thing that changed was the increase of sweat on his forehead, after a while, the last night devil fell down, he took a deep breath, kicked several corpses to clear the open space.

Without waiting for his reminder, John ran over and eagerly asked, "Father! Father! Are you inside?"

"It's John?" A gentle female voice rang out, and Norley's ears perked up, recognizing that it was Ms. Wilson's voice.After a while, the bench that blocked the window was removed, revealing a graceful face. She looked at John in surprise and couldn't help but shed tears, "Great, you're fine."

"Yes, I'm fine, is my father okay?"

Ms. Wilson turned around and said a few words, turning her head and saying sadly: "He was injured when he summoned us to take refuge in the church! The wound is infected and has been spreading."

"It's mana," West interjected, "please let me see, I can cleanse his wound."

"John, who is this person next to you?" Ms. Wilson asked in surprise.

West bowed formulaically, and his embarrassed appearance could not conceal his natural upbringing. He said politely: "Hello, beautiful lady, I am the pastor of the Holy Light Church, and my name is West You Kinnides. The night monsters outside have all been dealt with, please open the door."

"Eugenides...God! Please wait a moment." Ms. Wilson had obviously heard about this famous family, and she no longer doubted the authenticity of their words, and immediately opened the door.John was at the forefront, and was surrounded by the townspeople as soon as he entered the door. John's father was a qualified mayor, and he immediately sounded the alarm to let the townspeople gather in the church for refuge, saving most of their lives.

West had already developed the habit of following Norey's lead, and found him standing there in a daze and asked strangely, "Aren't you leaving?"

"I want to go back to the Valley of Meditation, you stay and treat them."

"Hey, wait for me... at least borrow a horse!"

Norley pretended not to hear West's complaint, and disappeared after a while.West stomped his feet in hatred, and wandered back and forth in a dilemma. In the end, he still couldn't stop the eager eyes of the townspeople, and walked into the church bravely.As for Nuo Lei, we will settle accounts with him when he comes back.
