Volume 1 Despair and Dawn Chapter 29 Decision
The bonfire in the square was gradually extinguished, the kobolds' banquet was coming to an end, the fruit wine had been drunk, the barbecued meat and fish were eaten by everyone and only the bones were left, and the most eaten were not adult male kobolds, but small kobolds who kept running around the square.
Since the end of the sacrifice, their bodies have not stopped, and after a while, they have looked here and there, and their mouths are the same, they have been stuffed with bulging things, and they are also holding food in their hands, just like they did when they were children for the New Year.
Zhao Xi couldn't help laughing out loud when he thought of this, after all, what he was looking forward to the most when he was a child was the New Year, there were delicious things that couldn't be eaten, but what he was most afraid of in the past few years was the New Year.
Suddenly, Zhao Xi felt that it was good to be able to cross here, after all, there were not so many fingers in reality, and he lived a new life freely, isn't this what he expected?
"After all, a young adventurer is better than a demon child. Zhao Xi muttered in his heart, and took another big sip of fruit wine, wanting to dilute the unhappy things with fruit wine.
Erin was eating while observing Zhao Xi on the side with her spare eyes, seeing that Zhao Xi's face kept changing, her big eyes were full of doubts, she didn't understand why Mr. Knight at this time was incompatible with the atmosphere of the banquet, this kind of thing should be happy together, right?
Taylor also sensed that Zhao Xi's mood was wrong, but he didn't say anything, he felt that everyone had their own secrets, let alone a genius from a noble background.
After the banquet, everyone began to clean up the messy square, and Zhao Xi also wanted to help, but was stopped by Erin.
Erin said that these are the master's affairs, so there is no need for Zhao Xi to interfere too much, Zhao Xi saw Erin's resolute attitude, so he went to rest with interest.
After cleaning up, everyone began to scatter and go home, Vic and his family waved at Zhao Xi, Zhao Xi stood up after seeing it, and followed Vic's family back to rest.
......
Cornelia's injuries had healed and healed and were no longer bleeding, which allowed Cornelia to sit up and play less intense exercises.
At this time, Cornelia had just finished praying, and although she had forgotten the name of the god she believed in, her faith was still very strong, and she believed that one day she would remember His name and what she had said about herself.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Cornelia knew who was coming as soon as she heard the footsteps, and adjusted her posture so that she could talk to people more conveniently.
"Miss Cornelia, do you have time now?"
"Of course, Mr. John, you just come in. ”
Old John walked in the door slowly, his steps were a little heavy, and he seemed to have a big concern, and when he saw Cornelia opposite, he barely smiled.
"What's the matter, Mr. John. Cornelia asked.
"Miss Cornelia, do you say that your god will forgive a man who takes advantage of others?" asked Old John with a wry smile.
"Mr. John, it depends on what he does with others. Cornelia thought for a moment and said.
"Maybe it's a good thing?" said Old John, who was not so sure.
"Did that hurt others?" Conelia continued.
"Maybe not, there is no way to get worse for those people. Old John said leisurely.
"If he sincerely repents and others forgive him, God will forgive him, Mr. John. Cornelia said lightly.
When old John heard this, he seemed relieved, and his face looked much better, as if Cornelia's words were also the answer he expected.
"Thank you, Miss Cornelia, for an early rest. Old John turned away and said, "Go out and bring the door."
Cornelia looked a little confused after Old John left, she didn't know why Old John, who had no faith himself, would come to him in the middle of the night to ask about this, and the situation just now also showed that Old John cared about whether it was God who had that opinion, but what other people thought.
"What happened in the past two days since I was injured?" Cornelia asked.
After thinking for a while, there was no answer, and Cornelia couldn't help but feel a little irritated about her injured self, this powerless look was not what she liked.
"If only I had been stronger. Cornelia thought to herself.
......
Zhao Xi couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning in the room, so he simply came out of the house and walked outside, looking at the starry sky outside, at this time Zhao Xi noticed that the starry sky in this world was a little different from the starry sky in the original world, and he didn't know what constellations he had, of course he didn't know what the stars were different.
But the moon in this world is somewhat illusory, unreal, it seems to be a phantom hanging in the sky, not like an entity.
Zhao Xi saw that he was interested here, and wondered if the moon in this world did not exist, it seemed too illusory.
"Why don't Brother Don sleep yet?"
Vic yawned and walked out of the house, looked at Zhao Xi who was admiring the moon, and asked in a loud voice.
"I was a little troubled and couldn't sleep. Zhao Xi smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it's so noisy that you sleep." ”
"No, no, what are you talking about, do you mind talking to me about something? After all, I'm a few years older than you, so I can't help you. Vic rubbed his eyes and cheered up.
Zhao Xi thought for a while and said, "It's okay, then I'll trouble you." “
"Mr. Vic, do you think it's right to put your friend in danger in order to improve your own strength?"
"Hmm, for me, improving my strength is to protect my family and friends, and for me, it's like putting the cart before the horse. Vic said with a smile
"My family and friends are gone, what's the use of me having strength?" Vic asked Zhao Xi rhetorically: "Strength can be slowly improved, if family and friends are gone, it's really gone, Brother Donne." ”
Vic's words smashed into Zhao Xi's heart like a giant hammer, and Zhao Xi, who was still confused, instantly sobered up.
"yes, what am I struggling with? This is not a game, this is the real world, aren't these few people who are connected with me? The roots of the previous world were broken, and the roots of this world must be cut off by their own hands? You can't upgrade in a year, it's not a lifetime, aren't the people in this world getting stronger without the system? Can't you yourself?"
Zhao Xi questioned himself in his heart, and the more he asked, the more obvious the answer became, and finally Zhao Xi understood what he needed.
"Got it?" asked Vic.
"Figured it out. Zhao Xi replied
"When are you going to do anything to the ogre?"
"It's only been a few days, what's the matter, Brother Donn, are you coming?"
"Yes, I also have selfish intentions, and when you are safe, I hope to settle a few of my friends here. ”
"Don't worry, your friends are my friends, and I won't let them have an accident if something happens. ”
Vic patted his chest and agreed, Zhao Xi looked at Vic's sworn appearance and was much more relieved, after all, Vic still looked very reliable.
"Then tomorrow I will go back and bring my friends to you, and it will be more convenient for you to recuperate. Zhao Xi said.
"I'll wait until the fight is over. Vic frowned and said, "When fighting the ogre, the children of the village have to hide in the mountains to avoid being found by others, and we will suffer if we are not there, and we will definitely not be able to be wounded." “
"Okay, that's it, I'll go back and tell them that if you need something, I can bring it back for you. Zhao Xi clapped his hands and said.
When Vic heard this, he opened his mouth and laughed, and after thinking for a while, he said to Zhao Xi:
"Iron and salt, as much as you want, I'll help you get the money tomorrow." ”
Zhao Xi frowned when he heard this and said, "I'll try my best, after all, if I buy too many of these things at one time, it will definitely attract attention, and the nobles in the town may think that I am going to war." “
"Understand, how much I buy back, brother, I owe you a favor. Vic said with a big grin, and patted Zhao Xi on the shoulder, indicating that there was no problem.
The two chatted here for a while, after Zhao Xi's heart went, he was also sleepy soon, and returned to his room after saying a few words to Vic, Vic himself was afraid that something would happen to Zhao Xi, Zhao Xi returned to normal, and he continued to sleep.
When they both returned, brown eyes appeared in the bushes again, and the corners of their mouths were the familiar greedy smile again.
"It's all mine!it's all mine!!"
A muffled voice came out of the bushes, like the whispers of demons.
The next morning, Zhao Xi got up early, although he slept late yesterday, but after all, it was a new place, Zhao Xi still had some love for bed, so he didn't sleep well and woke up early.
When he went out, Vic had already picked up the wooden sword on the side and practiced the swordsmanship that he taught him yesterday, Zhao Xi saw that Vic cherished his swordsmanship so much, and thought that there must be some mysteries in swordsmanship that he was not aware of.
"Brother Don is early!" Vic saw Zhao Xi coming out and said with a smile: "Sure enough, your nobles' swordsmanship is different, I brushed two sets in the morning, and sure enough, I exercised all over my body, it's really a good thing, it's much more exquisite than what I studied myself, and I think about it myself." “
"As long as it's easy to use, it's easy to use. Zhao Xi smiled inexplicably, and he didn't know what was good about this set of swordsmanship, so he could only follow the words.
After speaking, Zhao Xi also practiced swordsmanship with Vic, this was the first time that Zhao Xi had completed a complete set of basic swordsmanship, and he was warm and comfortable after performing it.
"It's no wonder that there are some moves in swordsmanship that can't be used in actual combat, but they are originally used for exercise. At this time, Zhao Xi also understood the meaning of what Vic said, and also understood the practical use of some basic swordsmanship.
"Mr. Donne!"
A girl's voice came from a distance, and Zhao Xi saw that it was Erin.
