Chapter 235

The entire time does not exceed ten seconds.

"three--"

Shona made the "three" sign.

"two--"

Will nodded. The two of them had a tacit understanding and only needed to synchronize their own time.

You can make an extremely successful cooperation!

"one!"

That's it now!

"Treya."

"Um?"

The moment Treya turned around and saw him, Will blew out the candle in his hand.

"Will?"

Thereia reacted very quickly. The moment he blew out the candle, she stood up immediately, then turned back, trying to grab Will's hand from the darkness.

But it didn't work out.

Even half-elf eyes found it difficult to adapt to the transition from "bright light" to "darkness". When she looked back at Will and the candle, and Will blew out the candle, she walked into Will's trap.

At this moment, she really couldn't see anything.

Bang--

She could only hear and feel someone flashing before her eyes.

After her eyes barely adapted, she opened them again. What she saw was that Will, who had been standing behind her under the moonlight, disappeared from her sight.

"Sure enough, the dirty things are right here..."

She heard the door being kicked open, she frowned calmly, and took out the black Shadow Nightmare sword that Will gave her from her waist.

The moonlight shone on the blade. She dragged the sword and walked toward the door step by step.

Da da da da——

Continuous footsteps spread from the corridor to the distance. Treya looked downstairs, and the sound began to come up from the bottom of the spiral staircase.

"..."

She didn't speak, but her frowning expression was obviously a little angry. Following the direction of the voice, she walked downstairs step by step.

Finally, her footsteps also stopped on the first floor.

"She looked like she was coming downstairs."

——At this moment, Will, who was hiding behind the door, stuck his head out and carefully observed the situation. After confirming that there was no one on this floor, he carefully closed the door and stood out.

"And...he didn't come back."

After taking a break, Will glanced outside and could see Treya talking to the knights outside the house.

temporary……

Victory.

He took a deep breath.

Treya was drawn away.

Since he arrived here about three weeks ago, this time he can be considered as successfully escaping from her "surveillance".

As for why they are still on the third floor and who left——

It's very simple. Shona just threw an echo prop. In a dungeon, if you need to lure a certain mob away to avoid a battle or achieve a divided battle, you will often use props like this to lure it to the other side.

When Will saw Shona doing this, he realized for the first time that this thing could be used by people, and for "certain people", it might be better than a monster.

after all……

If there is anyone in "Venus Star" who knows the least about dungeon strategy, it must be Treya.

Leah's own academic theory is very strong, and Yiel has been influenced by it by following him, and Treya's words...

He didn't plan to teach her much about the "dungeon" at that time, because he knew very well that what was more important to Treya was not how to survive in the dungeon, but how to survive in the royal family.

It's just that this plan...

He looked at Shona beside him. Shona was wearing the same dress they had bought together, with a hood on, and her long hair was curled up in the gap between the hood and her shoulders as usual.

However, because of Xiuna's foundation, even if she doesn't take care of it, she still looks very beautiful.

Her black eyes were as bright as those of an owl in the darkness.

Sure enough, even though I slept for nearly two weeks, my cooperation with Shona was still as smooth as before, just like the two weeks they had adventured together.

as well as……

She is still as strong as before. Even when faced with Treya, who has "S level" strength on paper, she can hide her presence and sneak in on her own territory.

This is the protagonist.

He has a very similar feeling to Xiu in the original work - he will make people feel at ease at any time. As a "logistics", his mental state is stable, and he will be the "guaranteed" option in the team.

However, Shona is not only mentally stable, but also has a more cheerful personality.

Just when Will was thinking this, he was stopped by Shona.

"Hey, the battle was successful?"

Shona showed a hearty smile and raised her arms.

Made a preparatory action for high-fiving.

In the past, when the dungeon raiders were successful, he and Shona would always celebrate with "high fives, fist bumps, and handshakes."

All right.

Although this is only the first stage, the next step is to consider how to escape from the "Imperial Palace" within Treya's sphere of influence, but for the time being -

"The battle was successful."

Will smiled and patted it gently with his palm.

The next action should be...

Will's hand turned into a fist in the air, but he didn't wait for Shona's fist.

What we waited for instead was...

A very soft and warm hug.

! ?

When he reached out, Shona took his hand and held him in her arms.

"Shuna?"

Shona, who was usually cheerful, said nothing. He could only hear her heartbeat in his ears...

The intense banging and banging gradually became calmer, and so did the breathing, which changed from a slightly rapid breathing to a stable feeling.

It was within the normal range of heartbeat.

Although Shuona was mentally stable, she was not completely without emotional fluctuations.

At least...

You could feel the changes in her heartbeat...

From "the surprise of meeting again" to "the peace of mind of confirming safety".

That's right.

Although for me, it was a "two-week" dream that I woke up from, and the time span didn't feel particularly long.

But Shuona...

It should be at least three weeks since I saw him.

During these three weeks, she should have only seen news about me in the newspapers, right?

I couldn't even write a letter from the palace in my own tone.

No, let alone a letter.

I couldn't even remember her memory.

At least...

Her worry about me was real.

Shuona slowly let go of Will, holding her chin and looking him up and down.

"Huh... I haven't seen you for a long time. Although you still look the same, but..."

"... Have you gained some weight?"

"... Ahem, the royal family... The royal family's food is too good, there's nothing we can do about it."

Chapter 265 Reasons for Escape (3k)

"They actually withdrew..."

Xuna stood by the window and looked out.

Was Treya "tricked"? She thought they had left here, so she withdrew the Knights to other places?

"Is she... um... so easily deceived?"

Xuna didn't know Treya at all. For her, her impression of Treya only came from Will's oral description. And Will mentioned Treya more than the other two.

"Probably."

"Your uncertain tone, don't you understand it?"

"How should I put it..."

Will scratched his head and looked out the window.

Treya was no longer downstairs, and he sighed.

"I always thought I knew her well, but now it seems that it is not the case. Maybe I need to get to know her again now."

"She is very different from... her in 'fate'. No, the current world is very different from 'fate'. I can no longer predict her future - not predict, but confirm her future."

Will said tactfully.

In fact, it is...

She is very different from the original, and she is the only one Will has met who has personally changed the important event nodes and endings of the original.

It means that the character biography he has read many times before coming here is completely useless? !

The original Treya has always been more "radio", not only difficult to understand her own heart, difficult to understand her own emotions, but also difficult to understand others.

Like a transmitter that constantly transmits radio waves to a non-existent channel, and even cannot receive it itself.

So in terms of emotions, she loses, loses, and loses.

In political struggles, she loses, loses, and loses.

But...

This Treya is no longer the same Treya.

In this royal struggle, she wins, wins, and wins.

In terms of emotions, she would rather be brainwashed than lose.

However, on the other hand...

When Will thought that this was a kind of "growth" for Treya, and it was a "growth" that he personally promoted, he didn't think it was so bad.

Maybe it was also... a good thing?

"But you should know her better than anyone else. After all, you taught her yourself."
