Gaiden: The Agent of the Machine Country Gaiden Chapter 16 The Chosen One

It was ten o'clock, but the leaders of the dark box were still holding a meeting with the four masters.

After six hours of continuous discussion, there were only a few contents:

"Urban Rehabilitation", "Compensation for the Wounded", "Prisoner Disposal", and "War and Non-War", which have been discussed for the longest time.

The embodiment of peace appeared in front of everyone just yesterday, and directly claimed that Porcelain Sword and Geralt were enemies, but Geralt bluntly called it "Militaristic Thought", and the envoy of Porcelain Sword also attacked at the first time,

If it is said that trusting the incarnation of the ideology is equivalent to denying Geralt's action of killing the four strange beasts to protect the town from complete destruction, and also denying the action of the envoy of the porcelain sword to stop the attack of the sun and quell the war before dawn.

But if they were to be trusted, they lacked enough evidence to confirm what the current of thought that appeared yesterday was, and the white flame that had indeed burned out Yukawa's soldiers was enough to prove the identity of the current of thought.

So, if you want to fight, against whom and for whom?

If so, to whom, and for whom?

As a result, the meeting lasted six hours and still failed to finalize the plan.

"It's rude, the lords are still in a meeting, Lord Geralt, please wait a moment. ”

And the guard standing outside the door of the conference room has long been replaced by the proprietress of the bar, the ninja suit that was changed late yesterday night is still on the body, with blood stains remaining, exuding a fishy smell, but whose blood is it, and what is it that provokes it, for the time being, I can't tell it.

"Well, I'm not here for them... I'm here to see your young lady, take me there. ”

"Miss Christina, please lead the way. ”

However, there is no need to distinguish in a short period of time, the finishing task is in charge of Beta, and Geralt only needs to go to the next target location, plus the departure time has been scheduled for tonight... Actually, there was no need to come and see it.

"But Lord Geralt is a stranger, isn't he?

"That's right... I guess I came here because I didn't expect anything from the original world. ”

But the two of them still walked in the corridor, chatting idly,

"What about you, lady, why did you come to this world? ”

"What's next... At first, I was just an ordinary employee who liked cosplay, and the reason why I came to this world... I guess it's also despair. ”

However, even if it was just a small talk, the amount of information contained in the words was amazing, but the two of them still chatted lightly as if they were talking about what to eat for dinner.

"Christina and Orcidea must be very important people to the hostess, like... Daughter-like?"

"What I said is that when I first came to this world, I was just a simple vengeful ghost, bent on finding the murderer who killed the flesh and bones, but in the end it failed, in order to survive, I could only try my best to escape, untilβ€”β€”"

"β€”until, you are discovered by these two men and treat you like a mother who has seriously injured you... Right? I still remember the story you told me five years ago, hostess. ”

"Yes, so when I saw that you were willing to accept this commission and trust the "dissonance" that I discovered by chance, I was really terrified, and the facts proved that you were right, but unfortunately I had nothing to repay and could only give some insignificant information to you, Lord Geralt. ”

Then, the two pushed open the door, and on the expensive bed in the middle, the blonde Christina was lying quietly in it, both the injuries on her body and her appearance had been properly treated, but even so, she still couldn't regain consciousness.

"But until now, the second miss still has no signs of awakening, and even the best doctor in the city can't explain why the second miss doesn't have the slightest resource power in her body at all, but according to the thoughts, Lord Geralt should know what to do about this, right?"

β€œ... Even if you tell me that... No, if my guess is not wrongβ€”"

Although it was only speculation, Geralt still put the silver cross in the blonde girl's hand, five, ten, fifteen... Then, the twentieth second,

When the time reached the twentieth second, the original fluctuation of the divine corpse like a breeze suddenly turned into a strong pulsation, like a heart beat, and the blonde girl also opened her eyes with a strong pulsation,

"β€”Hah... Huh, here's it?"

The violently surging energy turned into gentle fluctuations again, and both the god and Christina were considered safe, but the two people present were still worried.

"Sure enough, I was chosen, and I was chosen. ”

Ignoring the blonde girl who had just woken up, the black-haired boy turned around and left the room,

And the woman in the ninja costume just helped Christina cover the quilt, and then followed Geralt to push open the door.

The Sword of the Godslayer, a product left over from thousands of years ago, has been chosen in the past tragic wars, and there are very few chosen ones, but no matter which one is chosen, there is one characteristic:

"Permanently lost the resource power due to the blow of the divine remains, but survived the violent annihilation of the resource power... As strangers, we are free to use as long as we don't have mods on us, but the existence of the "native" must endure all this. ”

But with great power comes great responsibility, and since you have been chosen to be the user of the Sword of the Godslayer, you should step into the battlefield and wield your weapon in order to slay the gods.

"That means that Second Miss, is she going to use that kind of weapon to fight against the Ideology like Lord Geralt?"

But what parent in the world would send his children into battle with their own hands to fight against those almost invincible gods?

"It's up to her to make her own choice, and neither I, nor you, as an adoptive mother, can make that choice for her... However, anyone who is chosen by the Divine Skeleton can use the Divine Skeleton, and if I am the embodiment of the Ideology, then I will definitely find a way to dispose of this kind of person. ”

It's not alarmist, it's not an exaggeration, the ideology left over from the millennium war still exists in this world, whether it's the god remains or the chosen one, it's an extreme threat to them, and it's more resource-efficient to kill them directly than to fight for them, soβ€”

"So... Second Miss, does she have to take this god-killing sword and kill each other with a trend of thought like yesterday?!

"But if this god-killing sword hadn't chosen her, she would have died a long time ago because of the burning of her resources!"

As if she had suddenly lost something to rely on, the woman in the ninja costume let go of her grip on the young man's neckline and stood in place.

β€œ... I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'm sorry. ”

β€œ... Well, yes, that's right... Oh no, that's rude, Lord Geralt, below... Retire ...... first"

Even if you don't have to look at the other party's posture, you can hear the vacillation of the boss lady from the words, but if you think about it, asking humans to fight against that kind of existence is basically equivalent to sending them to death.

"Hostess!"

But she is the only native human who has been chosen by the gods.

"At the very least, the Elders of the Cross are here, and I'll let them go with them, and if not, I'll leave the Godkiller Sword with me. ”

Whether it is affection or reason, as the agent of the watch, Geralt has the obligation to arrange for people to protect this girl.

"You're still as gentle as ever, Lord Geralt. ”

But where exactly can it be considered gentle?

Even if you ask the elders to act together, even if you leave the remains of the gods in Christina's hands, how can this be called gentleness?

In the end, it just pushed the girl into a fate that shouldn't have belonged to her.

β€œ... That's not right at all, lady, gentleness has nothing to do with me, if I could really be gentle, I and that fake Christina would have ended this fight five years ago. ”
