Chapter 4: Choice and Escape
Chapter 4: Choice and Escape
"It's called Azeroth, and she's my second home. Zhao Mian said, "This place is a very long way from your world, but don't worry, if you are in a hurry to return, we can send you back to ...... immediately."
"No, no!" Almost as soon as Zhao Mian's message came out, the girl shook her head as if she was very panicked, and said loudly, the head she had just raised lowered again, but Zhao Mian found some fear in that panicked action. The girl must also know that she can't deceive others by her current appearance, so she opened her mouth to talk about other things, wanting to divert the topic, "Well, that, although I don't know what's going on, but you saved me, right? ”
"There is no need to do that. Zhao Mian frowned and said, "I said, no one here will force you to do something you don't want to do. So you can speak up and do what you want to do. And I, my name is Zhao Mian, and I am a qualified paladin. ”
Zhao ...... Crown?" Somewhat awkwardly pronounced these two Chinese characters, the girl over there nodded slightly, "So, why did Mr. Mian help me? After all, we are just two people who have never known each other." And, that bug ......"
"It seems that you have no memory of what happened yesterday. Zhao Mian sighed, glanced at the girl with some pity, and began to tell what happened yesterday, as well as about the girl's own body.
"In other words, if we're not mistaken, that bug is the real body of the old man, and it's been lurking on the surface of your heart. Zhao Mian ended his account and looked at the face of the girl in front of him.
"In other words, are you the heroic spirit I summoned?" The girl in front of Zhao Mian gradually brought in the role in the process of Zhao Mian's narration, in which she learned what happened when she lost consciousness, and gradually relaxed her vigilance against the world and Zhao Mian, and she was finally able to speak well to Zhao Mian.
"Heroic spirits, the souls of dead heroes?" Zhao Mian tried to take the word literally, "Then I shouldn't be, because I'm alive and well now." But it was right that you were called away, and I heard your call outside of your world, and I answered you, and I was called to the house, and you already know what is going on. ”
"Is that so...... the girl lowered her head as if she was pondering something, Zhao Mian waited patiently for the girl's words, he knew that the current girl was just making the last struggle, and her past seemed to have been treated very unfortunately, which was already understood when Zhao Mian examined her body - the whole body was scarred by various abuses, and there were dense holes caused by various insects gnawing her body. And now, because of the help of Zhao Mian, and the girl who broke away from her previous life, her heart must be very disordered now, all kinds of thoughts are full of it, the current girl has not fallen into a crazy situation like the first time, it can only be said that she has initially adjusted her mind with the help of spells - although it is estimated that it is still a mess, but it is not so good that she can't find a clue.
During the time that Zhao Mian waited quietly, no one knew how many thoughts flashed through the girl's heart, or how many drafts she had made for her next words. However, when the girl finally raised her head, when Zhao Mian thought that she still had to divert the topic and hide herself in it, she took a deep breath, and then first bit her lip tightly, Zhao Mian even saw that her lips had broken due to too much force, and blood came out of it, and then she finally said the real question she wanted to ask under the stimulation of pain: "Why save me?"
"Why? That's not a problem, is it?" Zhao Mian shrugged, "You sent a message to the outside, I received it, I felt what was in the message, I accepted your call, and then I did what I could and should do." ”
"What should be done...... Is it just that simple?" As if in disbelief, the girl repeated Zhao Mian's words.
"It's as simple as that. Zhao Mian shrugged his shoulders, as if to say that the girl's question was simply incomprehensible, and as if to show that his behavior was not worth such a discussion.
"It's as simple as it should be...... It's just that simple. The girl smiled as if she was tired, and as if with a sense of sarcasm, she shook her head, raised her head to look at Zhao Mian, and then bowed, "Thank you very much for your help." ”
"What I did wasn't much to be thankful for. Zhao Mian shook his head, walked up and straightened the girl's curved back again, looking at the girl in front of him, Zhao Mian noticed that there was still a little horror in the girl's eyes, and he took two steps back again, "However, I do have something to discuss with you." ”
"Discuss?" the girl was stunned for a moment, and then said with some weakness, "What is the matter?"
"First things first, it's this bug. Zhao Mian lifted something like a crystal from the ground on the side, and in that inside, the damn insect was anxiously knocking on the inner wall of the crystal, but it looked like it had been doing this kind of work for a long time, because it looked very tired, "I think it's better for you to decide how it ends, after all, according to our speculation, all the torture and suffering you have suffered has something to do with it." ”
Some timidly shrank back, the girl looked a little afraid of this thing, she was very hesitant to take the arcane cage in Zhao Mian's hand, and even retracted her hand once, but in the end she gritted her teeth and took it. But the worm had been in her hands for less than a minute, when she saw the maiden drag one side of the cage and throw it into the ocean in the distance, along with the struggling worms in it. It's just a pity that the girl's strength is not enough to throw this thing into the sea far away, let alone in the current state of weakness after surgery - after all, neither the Holy Light nor the Druid's Way can restore the blood lost by the human body.
But it looks like the bug's fate has been cursed in some way, you know, the arcane cage is unusually strong, although this small model is much weaker, but the creatures inside are not very strong, so the only way to escape is to wait for the magic crystal set at the top to run out of energy - of course, before that, the creatures inside have starved to death, or suffocated first. As for why I am talking so much here, of course, it is because an eagle flying in the air probably fell in love with the insect in the crystal, after all, it was also a rich meal, so it performed a wonderful grasp in the air, and flew it towards the sea, and then probably because he realized that he was afraid that he would not be able to eat the insect inside. It decisively let go of the crystal, and it "boom" - you know.
"Well, okay. It looks like the first thing has been settled, so let's talk about the second thing. Zhao Mian looked at the direction in which the crystal disappeared, estimated the approximate distance, and estimated that it sank into the sea, so he looked back at the girl in front of him who was gasping loudly, although it was just a small action like just now, the girl in front of him seemed to have exhausted all her strength, covered in sweat, "The second thing is, what do you want to do next?" I don't know what you did in the original world, but there seem to be some unresolved things between the two of us and that world that need to be resolved, and you are the leader of this, so let me ask you what you are going to do. ”
"Me?" the girl raised her head, revealing a face with rosy cheeks and a happy smile, although there was still a slight gasp, but she still said her words in a happy tone, "I'm sorry senior, but why go back?"
(I was about to vomit blood when I wrote it...... I know these chapters are very, but it should be better to go back to FATE in another chapter...... Please forgive me)
