Chapter 30: Sister

"Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, and the weight of your body falls evenly on your feet, leaning forward slightly. ”

"When pulling the string, you should not exert all your strength, but only use your hands to expand, and the muscles of your shoulders must be relaxed. ”

"After inhaling, gently press down to tense your abdomen, and then draw the bow to shoot an arrow, exhale as slowly and steadily as possible, and exhale completely in one breath. ”

"Don't shake your hands, keep your crosshairs on the target. ”

I saw Hilna holding a bow made of two spider forelimbs in her left hand, and holding a wooden arrow in her right hand and pulling a bowstring made of raw tendons. Hill stood behind her, guiding her through the essentials of archery.

"Can't you shoot yet. Sylna said through gritted teeth. "I've been holding it for ten minutes now, and my hands are numb. ”

"You can't shoot, your posture is not standard, how can the arrow you shoot hit the target. Hill looked right.

Sylna lowered her bow and moved her wrist. "But I've been practicing posture for nearly half a day, and I can't shoot an arrow yet. ”

"That's not good, posture is the basis of archery, and you have to make a standard to let you shoot. ”

"Are you good at archery? Sylna pouted.

'It's so hard to shoot an arrow, why don't you take a sword and cut it at someone's head.'

"Sylna," Ciel took the longbow from Sylna's hand and said with a calm face, "If you can learn my skills, can you grant me a request." ”

"Are bows and arrows really that strong?" said Sylna, who didn't believe it, there weren't many people in the clan who used bows and arrows, and most of them used magic and sword skills.

Hill chuckled, closed his eyes, and listened to the sound of the river.

With a "plop", a fish rolls out of the water.

Tie the arrow, buckle the line, pre-pull, open the bow, aim, and unstring, all in one go.

With a "whoosh", a wooden arrow stuck in a carp.

Ciel put down his bow and arrows and opened his eyes, only to find that Sylna's mouth was wide enough to hold an egg.

"Goo" Sylna swallowed, took the longbow from Ciel, and watched as she walked into the river and picked up the carp with the arrow, which was so precious that she had been sharpening black bamboo for an hour.

"Let's eat fish today. Ciel shook the fish in his hand.

"Uh, yes. ”

......

The aroma of grilled fish spreads through the grass, and the two of them share the grilled fish.

"Now let's keep practicing. ”

"Hmm. Sylna nodded, lured by the power of the bow and the smell of grilled fish, she had no desire to resist learning the bow and arrow.

Half a year passed, and every day Sylna came to the river on time to learn the bow and arrow, and as time went by, she found that Ciel's body was getting weaker and weaker, and even the bowstring was a little unable to pull off.

Hill didn't say why, just told her not to ask, but Sheena could guess a rough idea.

One morning, Sylna went to the river as usual, with some ointment in her hand to stop the bleeding. Yesterday she found out that there was a peer named Merlin who knew some herbal knowledge and could make some ointments to stop bleeding. She begged all night and promised to do the experiment for her.

When she reached the river, she was horrified to find Hill lying on the ground in tattered clothes and covered in wounds.

"Ciel!" Sylna scurried over and picked up Ciel's head. 'How so. ’

"Sylna. Ciel gradually woke up and looked at Sheena weakly.

"Well, I'm here. Sylna looked at Hill with tears in her eyes, she had a lot of injuries on her body, and there was a lot of blood on her body.

"I'm fine, let's keep practicing. ”

"No, I'm not practicing today, I'll help you go back to rest, I'm ......"

At this time, Hill's face became frightened, as if he had seen some extremely terrifying scene, "Don't, don't let me go back." ”

"Why? If it's because of the Administrator... I'll go over and ask him, it won't be long before I can participate in training, I have inquired, those administrators are only the lowest people in the clan, as long as I train hard, I will definitely surpass him in status, and he will not dare to embarrass you at that time. Sylna said anxiously.

At this time, Hill waved his hand: "It's not because of that administrator......"

"That's why. ”

"Hehe, but because... Those men"

"What!?" Sylna didn't understand what the men meant, and lowered her head to pick up the ointment and put it in front of Ciel. "This is an ointment that can heal the wounds on your body, I'll apply it for you. With that, he took off Ciel's clothes.

"Don't. Hill didn't have time to stop it, and the clothes slipped off his body.

"Ahh

I saw that Hill's body was covered with scars...... Cuts, scratches, punctures, blunt force wounds...... All kinds of scars, some of which have completely healed, and some of which even ooze a trace of blood, look very new. One by one, one by one, horizontally...... Vertical...... Hundreds, and countless scars. But most of them are caused by other people's fingers, and some of them look alike...... Self-inflicted.

Ciel closed his eyes and held back tears. "These scars, it's ugly......"

"Not ugly. Sylna picked up the ointment that had fallen on the ground and carefully applied it to the scar. But the tears flowed uncontrollably. It used to be all scratches, and just scratches scared her out that day. Now it's all sorts of scars, but she's not going to be scared anymore.

Hill closed her eyes tightly, feeling the girl behind her carefully apply it on her back, the ointment still slightly aching from the wound, but she didn't care anymore.

When she was done, Sylna dressed her and gently hugged her from the back, not speaking, just tears wetting the back of her coat.

Hill's tears finally flowed uncontrollably.

......

Another day.

Sylna happily ran to the river, she could train tomorrow, she had just turned eight years old.

"Ciel... Hill ...... "Sylna searched everywhere, but she never saw Hill.

"Can't she come today, no, she used to come every day, something must have happened." ”

Anxious, Hill forgot that Hill had told her not to go to the slave camp to look for her, and ran straight to the slave camp, where Hill lived, or where he roost at night.

Slave camps

There was a foul smell everywhere, the smell of feces and urine mixed with the smell of some unknown bodily fluids, and Hill couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.

'Is Hill living in this kind of place every day?'

There are a lot of slaves here, and there are a few dark elf administrators patrolling around, so that they don't dare to do anything to this dark elf girl, or they don't want to do anything.

Suddenly, Hilna saw a group of male xingnu subordinates gathered around, not knowing what they were doing. But her instinct told her she had to walk over and take a look.

The outermost male Xingnu Li, when they saw a dark elf girl coming over, retreated one after another, and any of the dark elves here were taller than them.

A foul smell came from the crowd, causing Sylna to retch back a few times before looking into the center of the crowd.

"Ciel!" Sylna's eyes widened, her pupils constricted, and she covered her mouth and nose with her hands, not daring to make a sound.

Slave camps, people captured by the dark elves have to endure bad food, pain, loneliness, abstinence, loss of freedom, and many other factors, and it is the kind that is sentenced to life imprisonment, which is for many people, especially men, such punishment can easily make people crazy, lose their minds, and then do some reckless behavior, such as riots, prison escapes, and so on.

But this kind of thing is how many dark elves come to kill as many as they want, and in the end this kind of thing happens too much, and the slaves are almost killed, and then the dark elves come up with a way to remove some high-level slaves and let ordinary male and female slaves live together, so that their own desires happen from time to time, and they have no desire to run away after venting their desires.

At this time, Hill was covered in foul-smelling fluids and scars, and his lower body was still bleeding, but fortunately... She had passed out in a coma.

She was being ridden by two men with sluggish expressions and full bodies, they were like machines, just squirming back and forth mechanically, without the slightest emotion, they had become slaves of desire, they didn't know who they were, why they lived, maybe death at this time might be a relief for them.

"Get the fuck out of here. Sylna swung her longbow and struck them on the heads, and the two fell to the ground, then just got up silently and left, the whole time without any emotion, as if they didn't feel pain, and then Sylna realized that they were already covered with scars.

"Ciel. Sylna hugged her head, tears streaming down her face.

Feeling the tears on his face, Hill gradually opened his eyes and found that it was Sylna, his face was shocked and immediately pushed her away, and then he grabbed the clothes scattered on the ground and draped them on himself and turned away.

"Ciel!" Sylna shouted as she stood up. The latter ignored it, but his steps were faster, and then suddenly his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees.

"Hey, what are you doing. By this time, the Administrator had spotted Sheena and walked quickly towards her.

Ignoring this, Sylna ran straight to Ciel's side, looking into her eyes, only to find that the latter looked as sluggish as the slaves.

"Ciel, I'm Sylna. ”

Hill lowered his head and didn't look her eyes, just muttered, "I'm not Hill, I don't know you......"

"You're Hill, and I won't be mistaken. ”

"No, I'm not, I'm just a dirty slave. ”

"No, you're Ciel...... The one I liked, Hill. With that, Sylna hugged Ciel.

At this time, the administrator also walked up to Sylna's side, grabbed Sylna's shirt and pulled it back, but Sylna's hand clutched Ciel's and refused to let go.

"Let it go!, don't break the sacrifice," the administrator roared

Sylna turned a deaf ear and said anxiously to Ciel: "I will be able to participate in training tomorrow, I will definitely work hard to cultivate, and then protect you well." ”

"Damn. Seeing that Sylna still didn't let go, and she couldn't make a move on this little girl, the administrator could only kick Ciel.

Sylna let go of her hand and was half-pushed and half-driven out of the slave camp by the administrator.

"Ciel, wait for me!"

Finally, a call reached Ciel's ears, and the tears finally flowed uncontrollably.

"Can't wait any longer......"

......

On the first day of training, Hilna arrived at the Sacrifice Square early in the morning. Sitting in place and waiting for everyone to arrive, he looked at the black-robed mage in the middle and thought silently in his heart.

'In the future, you must have his strength, so that you can protect and return Hill.' ’

As the people arrived, a group of slaves was herded into the center of the square.

Sheena was instantly startled, recalling the sacrifice that the administrator had said yesterday, and an ominous premonition appeared in her heart, and her eyes quickly searched for Ciel's figure. Among the thousand slaves, she quickly spotted Ciel's figure, and a wave of vertigo rushed to her brain, but she gritted her teeth and forced herself to wake up.

'No, it's going to be fine. ’

But with the order of Famas, everyone took up their weapons and rushed towards the slaves, which immediately set off a bloody storm.

'Ciel!' Sylna quickly picked up her weapon and followed, slashing and killing everyone who dared to stand in her way, quickly searching for Ciel's figure.

Soon she found Ciel, who was covered in blood, holding a weapon in her hand, and stabbing the corpse of a dark elf child in her face. With her agility, she easily killed a Dark Elf child and robbed her of her weapon.

"Ciel!" a call woke her up, and she looked up to see Sylna, her eyes recovering a little bit of her old look.

"Sheena!"

Sylna hurried towards Ciel, killing a few slaves who didn't have long eyes along the way. Covered in blood, Sylna ran up to Ciel, looking at her in surprise.

But Ciel's expression grew colder, and she raised her sword as she walked up to her.

"Ciel, I'm Sylna!"

"Remember when I asked you to grant me a request? Hill looked calm.

Sylna thought for a moment and remembered. "I remember, what do you want me to promise you?"

A relieved smile appeared on the corner of Hill's mouth, "Just remember, I hope you don't look like them, okay?" Hill looked at the bloodthirsty crowd around her and said lightly: "I taught you archery, but I didn't let you go to the ground to do evil"

"Okay, I promise you, come with me now, and I'll take you out of here. Sylna held out her hand to Ciel.

"We've lived together for so long, and I haven't heard you call me sister. Ciel glanced at her outstretched hand but didn't shake it.

Sylna was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that she began to want to be her sister, but she still didn't seem to have called her a sister before, even though she had already regarded the other party as her own sister in her heart.

Before she could say a word, a sword shadow slashed at Hill's right hand holding the sword, and the severed limb fell to the ground, and bright red blood sprayed onto Sylna's face, and the smell of blood made her brain go blank. 'No, it's not true'

Hill endured the sharp pain in his hand, and one sideways gave the dark elf boy a punch, but the blade of the sword in mid-air slashed away, and then both legs were severed by Qi Root.

"That's you, damn woman," the boy gasped and looked at Hill fiercely, as if he had some deep hatred for her.

Sylna froze in place, unable to believe the facts in front of her.

Hill lay weakly in a pool of blood, and she didn't do anything with her limbs broken, but smiled at Sylna who was stunned.

"Hmph, woman, die, die, die for Lao Tzu!" the boy's voice trembled, and then he stabbed his sword under Ciel with a hideous face, blood splattered, and in an instant her xiati became a blur of flesh and blood, and the boy continued to cut off her head with his sword, as if he was not satisfied.

"A lowly woman deserves it. A mouthful of spit fell on Ciel's head, and the boy left contentedly in search of his next prey.

Looking at Ciel's tragic condition, Sylna's face gradually regained her calm, and she just silently picked up her head, held it in her arms, looked for the remaining slaves, and calmly killed.

Until the last slave falls, the Blood Moon is fully charged. Hilna slowly left the sacrificial square with Ciel's head in her arms, and returned to her cave to block the entrance.

"Sister...... Sister ......"

Sylna's tears finally welled up like a fountain and dripped down the blood-stained Ciel's head. Heart-rending weeping echoed through the dark cavern for a long time......
