Volume 2 Chapter 216 The Nightmare Is Far Away
When I woke up again, there was only the sound of dripping rain around me.
Thor opened his eyes, his head still a little drowsy, but the cool raindrops on his face felt very comfortable.
Turning his head to look around the corner, there was no old demon, and Thor couldn't help but wonder if what he had experienced before he fell unconscious was just his own hallucination. A demon should not run around the territory of humans.
Turning over and sitting up, Thor suddenly felt a little hungry, which made him a little happy. Hunger, how long has it been since I've felt this way, maybe that's a good sign.
Sitting in the corner, digging food out of the ring and munching silently, Thor looked at the intermittent raindrops and suddenly became a little distracted.
"It's not okay for you to live like this, life is too hard and too lonely, remember to hug yourself more when you're free. ”
"Don't live like this anymore, don't ruin your life for hatred. ”
The words of Shogues and Lorna swirled in their ears.
Do you think I want to? Thor crossed his legs, burying his head in his knees a little tiredly.
What did I do along the way? It seems that I have walked some places, killed some people, lost some people, and is still alone. Not only that, but now the curse is riddling, the fire of life is flickering, and I don't know where to go in the next moment.
What would it be like if he hadn't left Grey Curtain and had been living there with Erin?
How long did I have to watch the raindrops fall to pieces on the ground...... Didn't stop to look, or feel something? It seems that he was willful, and he failed to walk on the path he wanted to go.
The world is so big, and now I have nowhere to go, hehe!
But looking back at Precia and Lucia, those beautiful lives that had faded away, and thinking of the kindness they had done to him, Thor smiled and stood up against the wall again.
Man, what is there to regret? There are some roads that you have to bite the nail and chew the iron to walk after all.
No one can be truly free, and we will eventually be bound by some trivial things until we die.
Taking another step, Thor plunged headlong into the rain, and since he didn't know where to go, he kept walking.
As his footsteps migrated, the lights flickered in front of him, and Thor looked up, vaguely feeling that the city was somewhat familiar. Yes, this is the main city of the Baikalt territory, and on the eve of his revenge, he also hovered here for a while.
Looking at the direction of the road, I didn't realize that I had left the main city so far before I knew it. Silently buttoning up his mask and putting on his robes, Thor entered the city to replenish some food and fresh water.
People, after all, can't leave the breath of life for too long, otherwise they will inevitably be lost.
As he passed by Fountain Square, Thor suddenly remembered the girl who used to kneel here, Beth Battier, who had only one eye. It's been almost a month, and I don't know how she is?
With that in mind, Thor left the city and headed straight for the swamp. Halfway through he felt his consciousness start to mess again, but he just smiled meaninglessly. Come on, see if you can kill me in the end?
In the grassy area on the edge of the swamp, the cabin he left behind is still there, but it looks like a haunted house in the dark. Beth should have left, as she couldn't have enough supplies to support her by this time.
I'm getting more and more confused, at least let me have a place to hide from the rain and get faint, right?
Thor smiled helplessly, struggling to move his heavier and heavier steps.
The surrounding scenery began to fade and ghost, and well, there seemed to be a dark shadow standing by the door frame of the hut.
"Beth?" Thor opened his mouth, hissing like an old tree rubbing a saw.
The shadow didn't respond, but it sped up and rushed towards him, and Thor was startled, trying to raise his hand to make some effective defense, but he was extremely slow.
"Bang~" There was a violent crashing sound.
"You're finally back. Beth, who crashed into Thor's arms, raised her tearful eyes and hugged him tightly.
"You ...... It hurts me!" Thor looked dark, feeling like he might have a new crack in his ribs.
This seemingly inconspicuous reunion made Saul's heart overflow with boundless warmth, it turned out that there were still people waiting for him in this world. That's actually enough, what more do you want?
"Why haven't you left yet?" Thor was helped into the cellar.
"I've been waiting for you for this month, and I knew you would definitely come back. Beth wiped tears from her eyes.
"Flutter~ you've been waiting for me!Wait, these foods have tasted bad, aren't they?Are you stupid?Won't you go to the nearby towns to replenish some fresh food?" Thor sneered as he inspected his territory.
"I'm afraid you'll come back just when I left, and then I'll never see you again. Beth explained earnestly.
"You're really ...... Stupid enough. Thor sighed, lifted his gloved paws, and stroked her scarred face.
The dizziness became more and more intense, and Thor felt a little unsteady on his feet, so he could only shake his head. He wanted to say something in a hurry, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only grab Beth's hand and press it on his chest.
"You...... What are you doing?" Beth was stunned at first, then raised her hand a little shyly, but the next moment, her brow furrowed.
"How about your heart...... Can't jump!?" Beth stared at Thor tightly.
"It's not that I can't jump, it's that I don't. With some difficulty, Thor ripped off his robe, mask, and gloves, then unbuttoned his tattered black coat, revealing his shaggy wolf legs.
The shocked Beth subconsciously took a step back and covered her mouth in surprise, but her gaze stayed on the man's empty chest. Then she saw the man in front of her just shake and fall in front of her.
"......" Faintly, Thor saw that Beth seemed to be shouting something to himself.
Then, at last, the whole world went dark.
——————
Thor slept a long night.
It seems that many chaotic dreams follow one another, and finally there is no trace.
When he opened his eyes, Thor saw a room full of light, but it wasn't really bright, just two candles that were about to burn out.
This little shiitake mushroom slept without clothes, and took off himself naked.
However, the next moment, the smile on Thor's face suddenly froze, and he lifted the blanket on his body, and the whole person suddenly turned over and sat up, and even dragged Beth up.
"Ah~ you're finally awake!" Beth rubbed her sleepy eyes with a look of delight, and then pulled the blanket over to cover herself in a bit of a panic, but Thor didn't pay attention to her at all.
"I'm ...... What's wrong?" Thor asked, swallowing as he looked at his naked body.
"You're alright!Hmph~ How can you thank me for my meticulous care?" Beth was clearly in a good mood.
Do you know what's going on with me?
Thor's lips trembled, but he didn't say anything.
Because he could intuitively see his flesh and blood chest, not only that, but his heart actually returned, his claws turned back into hands, and his legs returned to normal humans. And those terrible curses that were once engraved in the blood and bones seem to be gone.
"Wow~~!" Thor suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself, then suddenly raised his head and shouted.
"What are you doing? It's going to make the neighbors noisy. Beth was startled and looked at him with a smile and tears.
Sure enough, there was a faint scolding from next door.
"Next door, aren't we in the wilderness on the edge of the swamp, how can there be neighbors?" Thor said urgently, even feeling the urge to cry for fear that it was a sweet dream from a curse, or a hallucination.
"I heard what you did in the main city of Odrenza in the South, so after you passed out, I was afraid that you would be found by some tracker, so I carried you here through the reincarnation dungeon, following the method you taught me before. ”
"By the way, this is the border of Pennia's territory, and to be exact, this is the north. Beth said with some pride.
Thor pulled her down, hugged her tightly in his arms, and kissed her fiercely. Sensing the man's frantic intensity, as if to pull herself into his body, Beth responded more passionately with tears in her eyes.
"How long have I slept?" asked Thor against her forehead.
"It's a month and twelve days, but it's not long before nightfall, and it's not twelve days until tonight has passed. Beth replied after a moment's thought.
"Then my body ......," Thor didn't know how to ask.
"It feels amazing, probably more than ten days after you passed out, I saw your flesh and blood grow and recover on its own. Especially your eyes, if only I could be like you. Beth raised her hand in a bit of frustration and touched her scarred face.
Thor raised his hand in shock, and trembled and touched his eye socket, but he didn't actually have to touch it, he already felt the return of his left eye from the wideness of his vision. It's just, like a miracle......
"You...... After a hard work, I will definitely find a way to cure you. Thor rubbed Beth's little head gently, and then tangled with each other.
Just when Beth thought that Thor was going to do something shy about herself, the guy jumped up from the bed and quickly began to get dressed, and Beth could only accompany him.
"I had to go out and see if it was a dream. Thor still couldn't believe it.
Thor excitedly walked all the way to the town's market, ate some snacks, and then came to the foot of Murm Mountain, outside the town, and climbed to the top of the mountain in one go.
"I'm Saul Drake back. Feeling his re-energized body, Thor clasped his hands together and shouted happily to the mountain.
Beth stood helplessly to the side, this guy really looked like a child at the moment.
"Where are we going next?" asked Beth subconsciously.
"From now on, I want to live wantonly, live wildly and passionately, and do things that I have never done before. Let's build a territory first, improve your life, and if anyone dares to stretch out their hands casually, they can chop it up in time. Thor's gaze was suddenly sharp.
"By the way, if I have a new territory, what do you want to be?" Thor turned his head with a sudden smile.
When what?, Beth was stunned.
"Can I be your number one maid?" asked Beth, a little shyly.
"No problem, I promise you without hesitation. Originally, I thought that if you said that you wanted to be the lord's wife, I would agree in one breath, but unfortunately you have this point. Thor chuckled and stretched wide.
Beth stomped her foot in some chagrin, as if she had ...... What's missing?
