Zero Will Be So Happy (1)
Taking a deep breath, Eileen said in a low voice:
"Just like I told you in the message, that stupid guy Ramon, for some reason, suddenly became smart. That guy actually started launching a large-scale attack, deploying tens of thousands of Fire Flamingo and Three-Headed Hound to burn down the forest where we were hiding."
The women all looked rather gloomy.
No matter how powerful Eileen's Invisibility Spell, she had nowhere to hide under such a wide-range attack.
"Ronald and I were forced to separate, and our stealth was broken."
"Ramon led a large number of experts to attack. Ronald knew very well that the two of us were no match for Ramon and so many elite Magic Creature. He told me to escape first, and he would hold Ramon off."
He said the Hero's Party had already suffered too many losses and couldn't afford any more.
Eileen recounted everything the two of them had gone through, bit by bit.
Her voice was filled with self-reproach.
The other members also had somber expressions.
This is terrible news for the former members of the Hero's Party.
However, Rosweisse didn't care about Ronald's situation at all. All Rosweisse cared about was having Ronald find the fragment of Jello Geralt's Soul Fragment; nothing else mattered.
"Eileen, don't blame yourself too much, it's not your fault," Rosweisse gently comforted her. "None of us wanted this to happen."
"By the way, Eileen, when you were with Ronald, did he give you anything... like a fragment of Lord Jello's Soul Fragment?" Rosweisse finally couldn't help but ask this question.
Eileen was stunned, then shook her head somewhat blankly.
At that time, it was a life-or-death situation, and there was no time to think about anything else. Looking back now, I realize that I had forgotten the most important thing.
Rosweisse's face stiffened, her body trembled slightly, and she cursed inwardly.
Ronald, what a useless piece of trash, what kind of hero are you trying to be? Even if you really wanted to play the hero, you should at least have handed over Jello Geralt's Soul Fragment to Eileen to bring out.
Otherwise, you'd be dead for nothing, a completely useless piece of trash.
Eileen is an idiot too. You were sent to support Ronald, and all you did was help Ronald? Can't you tell what's most important?
Rosweisse felt a terrible headache coming on.
Why are all my teammates such idiots?
These fools are unreliable; the plan to resurrect Jello Geralt still depends on herself. Rosweisse's face was filled with sorrow, and tears seemed to well up in her eyes. "What about Ronald? Could it be that he's already...?"
She needed to know exactly where Jello Geralt's Soul Fragment were now.
If Ronald has already been killed, then he has most likely fallen into Ramon's hands.
"No, I overheard the sounds of some Magic Creature chasing me. Ronald seems to have been captured alive by Ramon and is now being held in strict confinement within Ramon's territory. That despicable fellow seems to be trying to pry Ronald's mouth open to learn more important and confidential information."
"Ronald is probably being subjected to brutal torture right now, we have to go and rescue him," Eileen said quickly.
Eileen felt a deep sense of guilt for abandoning Ronald and running away alone.
The others exchanged glances, each able to discern the other's thoughts.
"Eileen, this is a trap," Athena said quietly. "Ramon is clearly using Ronald as bait to lure us in."
"Ramon's territory is surely riddled with traps and mechanisms. Once we step into Ramon's territory, we'll likely face..."
Athena didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.
Ronald, we can't go to save him.
Eileen's face darkened; she wasn't stupid and naturally understood this, but at that moment, Rosweisse offered a different opinion. "No, everyone, I think Ronald must be rescued."
Athena's gaze snapped to Rosweisse, seemingly shocked by Rosweisse's decision. She couldn't believe that the intelligent saintess wouldn't see through this trap, which was so simplistic it insulted one's intelligence.
"After all, Ronald and I have been comrades-in-arms for many years. We can't just stand by and watch Ronald be tormented by Magic Creature."
"Even setting aside our years of friendship, let's think about how many members of our Hero's Party are left?"
Eight people.
"Karthus and Benson are dead. If Ronald dies too, then there will only be seven people left."
"With eight new members joining, the voices of us old members in the Hero's Party will become increasingly weaker, and eventually we may not even have a place anymore. Our plan to revive Jello Zero will also be severely hampered."
"Moreover, Jello's Soul Fragment might still be with Ronald, and even if they aren't, Ronald should know their current location better than we do."
Rosweisse's speech was eloquent and moving, explaining the necessity of saving Ronald from both emotional and practical perspectives.
Damn it... We were supposed to collect Jello's Soul Fragment, but so much time has passed and we haven't found a single one.
Rosweisse felt hopeless about the future.
No, no, no... She shook her head vigorously. She couldn't have such despairing thoughts. If even she gave up, who could save Jello Geralt?
No matter how dangerous and difficult the future may be, she must persevere.
"Everyone, I know this is a trap, and rescuing Ronald is destined to be fraught with danger, but we must do it."
"Also, Muse is facing a little trouble, and we need to send someone over to help her. If things go smoothly on both sides, we'll have two Soul Fragment at once, taking a big step forward on the path to resurrecting Jello." Rosweisse, her cheeks slightly flushed, rallied the crowd's morale.
"Everyone, we are all here to bring Jello back to life."
"If Lord Jello can reappear before us one day, then all our efforts and all the dangers will have been worthwhile."
Rosweisse's eyes were glistening with tears.
Soft sighs came from all around, as if everyone had been persuaded by Rosweisse's words.
"Then how should we arrange things? We can't just send everyone out, can we?" Sylph asked, frowning.
Rosweisse shook her head. "We're just going to rescue people, not to destroy Magic Creature. If everyone goes, it will create too much noise and hinder the rescue."
"To save people, one must be proficient in all kinds of mechanisms and traps, be able to break all kinds of restrictions, and be able to be discreet enough to avoid being detected by Magic Creature. One must also have a certain ability to break magical barriers."
Her gaze fell on the Twin Thieves: "Eileen, Aili, and Sylph, could I ask the three of you for a favor?"
Eileen immediately agreed, and after a brief hesitation, Aili also nodded.
Only Sylph seemed somewhat agitated. Compared to Ronald, she was more concerned about the state of the Evil God's Threads on her body. Although the situation seemed to have stabilized temporarily, her unease would continue as long as they couldn't be completely removed.
However, this is ultimately for Jello.
Sylph finally nodded.
Under Rosweisse's arrangement, a temporary team was formed to rescue Jello.
In some ways, this could be called Heroic Suicide Squad.
Chapter 5 is presented. The reward of 100,000 points from the CC boss of Dream Qianqiu has been added.
Next up is an extra chapter with 20,000 points from Dongfang Wufei and 10,000 points from Lostmemoeis...
Chapter 231 Jello will definitely be very happy (1)
The former members of the Hero's Party formed the Ronald Rescue Squad.
Eileen and Ellie are the best thieves, skilled in hiding, ambushes, assassinations, and breaking traps. Sylph is the best archer, with the best sight and hearing, and also has considerable magical skill, able to break various magical barriers and detect magical traps. Although her magical level is somewhat inferior to Athena's, Sylph is more suitable than Athena for this kind of rescue mission.
They knew it was a trap.
Ronald was their partner of many years. If that were all, they might be heartbroken, but in the end, they would have no choice but to abandon Ronald. The losses of the Hero's Party were already too great. If they were to sacrifice one or two more members of the Hero's Party to save Ronald, it would be too much of a loss.
However, it's highly likely that the fragments of Jello's soul are still with Ronald, or at the very least, Ronald should know who has them in his hands.
As a result, Ronald's importance increased dramatically.
We must save him! Ronald is their good friend and comrade-in-arms; how can we not save him?
Speaking of which, could it be that Ronald anticipated this might happen and hoped someone would rescue him, which is why he didn't give Jello's Soul Fragment to Eileen?
It's highly likely that Ronald, being so meticulous, wouldn't have forgotten something so important. It can only be said that this was all Ronald's doing; he really is a cunning and treacherous fellow.
Of course, these women had no idea that the scheming and treacherous man in their hearts had even had his ashes scattered.
Under Rosweisse's passionate speech, everyone appeared to be full of hope.
Then there's the Muse side.
"Muse has found the place, but a powerful magical seal is separating him. He's a typical berserker and knows nothing about magic. Although we've considered using brute force to break it, we're worried that if Lord Jello's Soul Fragment is inside, he might get hurt," Rosweisse said quickly.
"Therefore, we need a highly skilled magician to go and support Muse."
Rosweisse's gaze fell upon Athena!
Of the remaining three Ekaterina knew nothing about magic, leaving only Rosweisse and Athena. Rosweisse considered herself the core of the Hero's Party... the former core of the Hero's Party, responsible for command and control; errand-running was not her job.
Athena was incredibly shrewd; she could see right through Rosweisse's little schemes and scoffed at the saintess.
Hmph, foolish fellow.
You have no idea that the real Lord Jello has already been resurrected in Qin Chu's body. Although he is only a remnant soul now, he will be fully restored one day. At that time, there will be no place for you by Lord Jello's side.
Collecting Soul Fragment would help speed up Jello Geralt's recovery, so Athena didn't argue with Rosweisse this time and readily agreed, while secretly calculating how to get her hands on the fragments without Muse's notice.
If we could deliver the Soul Fragment to Lord Jello would surely be very happy, wouldn't he?
Rosweisse's face showed a hint of smugness. Although Violet had replaced her in the entire Hero's Party, at least the former members of the Hero's Party still centered around her.
Ekaterina remained silent. Her strength was suited for charging and fighting, but not for rescue or magic. The Scarlet Valkyrie simply recorded everyone's movements in silence.
This is her most important task.
The meeting of the former Hero's Party ended with everyone harboring their own secrets.
In the adjacent tent.
Onions was communicating with his mother, tears streaming down his face, telling her, with embellishments and exaggerations, all the humiliation and grievances he had suffered.
He believed that his mother would stand up for him.
Sure enough, on the other end of the message, Onions heard his mother's Wrath screams and curses.
A smug smile couldn't be contained on his face.
Qin Chu, Violet, you two damned pieces of trash.
Get ready to pay the price for humiliating this holy son.
Unbeknownst to Onions, another figure was eavesdropping outside the tent, listening to the sounds coming from inside—it was Inas.
Her brow furrowed slightly. Inas wasn't sure how to judge Onions's immediate reliance on his mother for help after suffering a minor setback; deep down, she felt a sense of disdain...
But soon, Inas shook his head. No, that wasn't right. How could he possibly look down on Lord Onions? That was absolutely wrong of him.
On the other side...
As the substitute Grim Death God wields the Death God's Authority, Ileta's life is extremely busy, as life is being lost almost every moment in this world.
Dealing with those lost souls was Ileta's job.
Perhaps because the death energy within her body had been largely purified by the Holy Light that surged into her, the girl, who had originally appeared extremely cold and almost one with the darkness, now showed a slight increase in vitality.
Ileta left behind the words: "Call my name whenever you need me," and then vanished without a trace.
Qin Chu did not return to the camp immediately.
Just as Ileta had warned, while Qin Chu's power could restore Violet to normal and cleanse Ileta of her death aura, no one knew how effective it would be against the Flame Witch, who had completely gone mad and was now nothing but a ball of Fire Spirit.
Perhaps Qin Chu will also become a target of the Flame Witch's indiscriminate attacks.
Even so, Qin Chu had to go to Flame Mountain, and he had to save the Flame Witch.
Even if we can't save her, we absolutely must thwart the Demonic Beast Grand Prince's plan to control the Flame Witch.
If the Demonic Beast Grand Prince truly seals the Flame Witch's Fire Spirit within his body, then this guy will become a truly terrifying opponent.
Having already conducted some research, Qin Chu knew the approximate location of the Flame Mountain. Using a pre-prepared spatial teleportation magic scroll, Qin Chu's figure disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in a desert.
The ability of Spatial Teleportation Magic Array is incredibly useful.
Each time you use it, simply pray to the deity, who appears as a soap bubble in your mind, and it will activate immediately.
Antia's figure emerged from Qin Chu's body, her delicate white feet gently stepping on the fine quicksand. Perhaps because of her ghostly form, not a single footprint was left on the ground.
He held a dark red spear in his hand as always, and black chains wrapped around his body.
Antia usually stays inside Qin Chu's body, using Qin Chu abdomen as her bedroom. She rarely shows herself unless a powerful enemy appears...
