Chapter 11: Seventeen Beasts

The tallest building on Island 28 is the clock tower in the center of the city, but William and Kodoli took Kodori from noon to dusk to reach their destination. Along the way, I watched street performances, bought small gifts, and experienced the farce of accidentally breaking into Miss Hamster's bathroom and accidentally falling into the chicken coop, which can be said to be full of twists and turns, which is impressive.

2B said worriedly, "When did William become a road idiot? After this set, Miss Kodori's favorability has been increased a lot, at least to the level of three and a half hearts. On the other hand, the owner ......"

Cortana was squatting with a group of children, sucking roadside snacks in her mouth, exclaiming exaggerated admiration at the street performers' performances, clapping her hands without a sense of crisis at all.

A2 pursed the corners of his lips: "Idiot master." ”

……

At the top of the bell tower, the whole city can be seen in the dusk, and in the distance is the vast sky, and there are more than a dozen continents large and small floating in the air, just like small islands in the ocean.

"So, that's what you're going to see?" asked William.

"Hmm. Kodoli smiled and said, "I've seen floating islands from airships, but I've never seen them in the city. ”

William shrugged his shoulders in confusion: "What is the meaning?"

Kodoli stroked her hair behind her ears and said with a smile, "Just to ...... Make great memories. ”

William looked at the girl, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, although she was almost exactly like a human, but she was definitely not a human, probably just some kind of special subhuman race.

Although he cares a little, William is not an extrovert and is used to being emotionally restrained.

"Thank you so much today for going through so many wonderful things. Kodoli smiled and thanked her.

"No, that's nothing, and a lot of time was wasted because I wasn't familiar with the terrain. William finished speaking, glancing at the staircase of the bell tower, where stood a sturdy lizardman officer and two feline privates with muskets.

"Are these people here to pick you up?"

Kodoli nodded, "I have memories that are like dreams, but the time has come. One last wish, if you can remember me, I will be happy. ”

What kind of strange request is this?

William said, "Old people like me don't know much about you young people."

Kodori leaves with the lizardman officer, and she can be heard saying goodbye to Cortana.

"Miss Cortana, Miss 2B, Miss A2, thank you for your company, goodbye. ”

"Oh, are you leaving? I have something to do here, I'll go play with you when I'm done." ”

Kodoli smiled awkwardly, the place she stayed in was not for ordinary people, but in the face of Cortana's "innocent" smile, she still couldn't refuse: "Well, I look forward to your visit." ”

"Don't worry, I'll bring a gift then!" Cortana smiled and gave a thumbs up.

When Kodoli left, Cortana stretched and shouted to William, "Let's go, I've got an appointment, I'm more than six hours late." ”

"Uh, are you sure you haven't left yet?" William looked puzzled, six hours no longer belonged to the category of being late, which should be called releasing pigeons, in the popular language of mankind five hundred years ago.

"Don't worry, she can stay all day if she has wine. ”

……

The tavern in the dark alley is not a high-end place, but it is more affordable than the people, so it is also very popular.

William paused for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

"The person I asked for is here. ”

"Isn't that just right?"

"No, he should have left by this time, and then find a chance to apologize. ”

"Oh. Cortana answered, pushing open the door to the tavern.

A strong smell of wine rushed to his face, as if it had spilled the entire tavern, and William couldn't help but take a step back. He didn't drink a drop of alcohol 500 years ago, and it was only in the world 500 years later that he liked this drink. Drunkenness can make him forget a lot of things, although a hangover the next day makes him feel the urge to die.

There were a lot of people lying in the tavern, just like the scene of the murder in the deliberately dim light. William was startled, and hurriedly became vigilant: "Is it a robber attack?" He subconsciously reached out to his waist, but he touched a void, the holy sword that once accompanied him day and night was long gone, and now he is not a brave man who saves the world but a down-and-out vagabond.

"Take it easy. Cortana said, "Everybody is just drunk." ”

"Drink...... Drunk?" William tugged at the corners of his mouth, and the entire tavern was drunk at the same time, could it be that today was a festival worth revelry?

Following Cortana into the tavern, he noticed that there was another person sitting in front of the bar, who should be a woman in terms of size, with long black hair reaching up to her waist, like pitch-black satin reflected by the light.

Cortana sat down next to the man, "Is the wine here good?"

"It's special, probably because of the craftsmanship of these furry guys. The black-haired woman replied, "And compared to the unexpectedly simple nature of these human guys, they are very good drinking friends." ”

"Well, it's good if you're happy. Cortana beckoned to William: "Don't be in a daze, come here." ”

The one who can sit side by side with Lord Cortana must be the existence of the "same level", William swallowed and spitted, walked over with a little nervousness, and said respectfully: "Hello, I am William Kmeixiu, it is a great honor to meet you." ”

"Oh, you're William. It just so happens that there's something for you here, and the guy with the horns on his head asked me to pass it on to you. The black-haired woman pointed to a "corpse" in the corner and threw William a letter with fire paint.

William recognized the body as his friend Glick, the person he had made an appointment to meet today. However, judging from the current state, it is obvious that the other party has lost the possibility of communication.

"...... is he?"

"Don't worry. The brunette woman turned her head: "He's just drunk, just get a day's sleep...... Maybe two days. ”

Only then did William see the appearance of the black-haired woman, and was surprised to find that the other party was seven or eight points similar to Xiao Na, and the biggest difference was the color of the hair.

"Uh, are you the sister of Lord Cortana?"

Although both of them are young, the maturity and experience of the black-haired woman is far beyond the reach of Cortana-sama, just like he still maintains the appearance of an eighteen-year-old at the time, but he is already an antique in his bones more than five hundred years old.

"Poof!" Cortana couldn't help but laugh out loud, put her arm around the dark-haired woman's shoulders and said, "What sister, this is my dad!"

"Huh?!" William was completely dumbfounded, this sentence was unexpectedly slotted, so he didn't know where to start, and a thousand words finally turned into one sentence: You gods really know how to play......

Five minutes later.

"Lord Yingluo, I'm sorry I was rude just now!" William was a little nervous, he became like this after learning the identity of this person. The founder and founder of the entire God of Order system, this is probably the king of the gods. No, I heard that the gods are now led by this eldest daughter, that is, the real sister of Lord Cortana, and this should be the emperor of the gods. In the middle of 500 years ago, he was definitely the kind of hidden character who sang the praises throughout the whole but only came out in the last chapter to pretend to be a rescue.

But speaking of which, is Cortana-sama actually a royal family among the gods?

"Hey, it always feels like you're thinking of something rude. Cortana said as she squatted down in a chair with a grilled fish in her mouth.

The gods' instincts were still just as terrifying, and William quickly shook his head to put the thoughts out of his mind.

Yingluo smiled at William: "Don't be nervous, you are a friend of Cortana, and you can be regarded as a person of half the God of Order." I came to you this time to ask you to do me a favor, but judging from the current situation, both the world and you are very different from our expectations. ”

Cortana sucked the soup and said, "yes, didn't I get everything done before I left? ”

William shook his head and said with a wry smile: "For all reasons, I withdrew from the battle with the Star God in advance, but according to what I know, it is not they who exterminate the human race. ”

"Who's that?"

"Seventeen Beasts!"

"What's that?"

"Seventeen strange creatures with great power, collectively known as 'beasts'! Five hundred years ago, they appeared near the capital of the Empire, killing lives and destroying everything, and the brave system established by mankind and the mass-produced holy sword were vulnerable to them, and in just one year, the human race was completely wiped out. ”
