Chapter Eighty-Three: The Long Sword XXII
"She's not the same as me," Sulfona shook her head, "It's not my body that's worrying, I'm ......"
Sulfona stopped in the middle of speaking. At this time www.biquge.info the door opened, and a nun with a wooden expression came over with a meal for two people. Her footsteps were so soft that only Sulfona spotted her. After taking the meal, Brewster asked about the inauguration of the watchtower. The nun replied kindly, saying that the time of the ceremony was five days later. Sulfona asked where Hetty was now.
"The Holy Maiden is presiding over the final work, and it will be very busy these days. The nun lowered her head and said in a deep voice, "In fact, your meeting with her this time is also to put off a lot of things to make time. If there's anything I can relay. β
"Since I'm so busy, I won't bother her. "There's nothing special. I just wanted to ask if I could take Brewster on a tour of the surroundings. He was an avid fan of Master Cook. Although I just turned around, I didn't know it very clearly. β
Brewster was stunned for a moment, he didn't remember saying anything like that.
"Probably not. The nun shook her head, "This is a critical stage of construction, and when the watchtower is completed, you can visit it as you please." Also, I've heard from Master Hetty that you're not fit to move around. β
"That's ......," said Sulfona, "and it seems that it will only be a while before I can comprehend the master's art." β
"I hope so. Then I will take my leave, and may the twin goddesses bless you. β
The nun nodded to the two of them, then cautiously exited the room. Sulfona shook her head after making sure that the other party was far away.
"Don't you think it's strange Brewster?"
"Strange, I think you're weird. β
"Don't you think we're in a prison?" said Sulfona, gesturing to the interior of the house, "windowless, dark, closed and cramped. We couldn't go out of the house and had to be brought in for three meals a day......"
"Sulfona, how can you think of Master Cook's masterpiece as a prison?" said Brewster, frowning, "what an amazing piece of work. And I've heard that it's been criticized from a lot of people, and I think it's a miracle that it was built so quickly. It's the closing period, and it's only natural that we should not be allowed to travel and not cause chaos to the workers. β
"That's what makes me feel weird. Sulfona shook her head, "When Hetty and I were walking down the corridor just now, we didn't meet a few workers. If the construction is already in the final stages and there are no workers working, we will have no problem going out and walking. By the way, I also met a man named Palmer, who seemed to be a leader. β
"Palmer?" Brewster's brow furrowed, "the name reminds me of a disgusting man." β
"You know him?"
"Remember what happened to Daddy's daughter? That's the name of the guy who kidnapped the child. But I heard that he had been exiled to the South and would never return to the Holy City. Maybe it's just the same name. β
"However, this is not the Holy City. Sulfur shook her head, "It's not yet. Forget it, let's talk about Daddy. Hetty said she had sent someone to find her. But the place where we were separated is not far from the Holy City, and we haven't found it after looking for so long, I'm afraid it's ......"
"No, I think Daddy will be fine. Brewster shook his head and said, "Daddy...... Even if Daddy died, it would be a true way to die for a knight. That's how I feel. β
Brewster showed a rare serious and serious expression, and Sulfona couldn't help but laugh when she looked at it.
"I think you have time to believe in these metaphysics, so you might as well sniff Daddy with your nose. β
"I can't smell it. Brewster shook his head, "The smell here is so varied, and I don't know what materials Master Cook used." Anyway, here, my nose is a little out of order. Maybe it has something to do with that abominable demon who broke my face. β
"Then you'd better take care of your injuries. β
The two of them had dinner, and it was not early. The whole corridor was very quiet, so quiet that Brewster was a little panicked. Although he didn't admit it in his mouth, he still believed Sona's words a little in his heart. Brewster turned his gaze to Sulfona, who seemed to be asleep, only his chest heaving slightly. Brewster sighed and began to recite all the prayers he remembered. He hoped that this would allow the Twin Goddesses to help him sleep, though he knew that he would probably always be a bad boy in the hearts of the Twin Goddesses.
Maybe it's because of Sulfona's phrase "However, this is not the Holy City. Brewster was a little homesick. He was born and raised in the Holy City. Although Brewster didn't like his father and his mother died early, he still wanted to go back as soon as possible. In the dream, he became a knight, wearing a long sword with gold trim at his waist, and rode home on a tall horse. My father finally gave up his business of cheating, he gave all his money to the poor, and the Chamber of Commerce set up a charitable foundation. Alec returned safely, and little Helois, who had lost his loved ones, was adopted by him, and both of them lived happily. Giving up on becoming a warrior, Sulfona stuck her great sword in the place and built a tomb. Her face became as beautiful as it had been that night, and Brewster tried to pursue her, but was unsuccessful.
In the dream, Brewster rode a horse after Sulfona, who smiled, and she ran faster than the horse. Brewster said, please don't run so fast. Sulfura said, then you come after me. Brewster said, "Do you have any luck if I catch up with you?" and Sona said, "If you catch up with me, I'll marry you." So, Brewster swung his whip and sped up, but Sulfona's back grew smaller and smaller. Eventually, Brewster failed to balance and fell off his horse, so he woke up.
"What a strange dream......"
Brewster came to his senses and laughed dumbly. He looked around, the oil lamp on the wall still flickering, and he couldn't tell how much time had passed. The dΓ©cor around is the same, as if it is stuck in a quagmire, and everything is still. But Brewster frowned as he noticed that Sulfur was gone. The quilt lifted from her bed, and Brewster touched it, it was cold, and it looked like it had been gone for a while. Brewster stood up, and he felt an indescribable hesitation.
"Sulfona?"
Brewster's voice echoed through the small room, and the cold wind peeping through the crack in the door made him shiver. Brewster draped a few pieces of clothing over his body and pushed the door open.
"Where have you been, Sulfona?"
In the dark corridor, there is a flickering oil lamp every dozen bricks. The dΓ©cor in the hallway was the same as in the house, and the simple combination of black and orange puzzled Brewster. Pushing open a door, it was still the same pattern, and before he knew it, he was lost in the space of infinite replication. Knowing Brewster's afterglow, he swept a slender back. Brewster had an impression of the back, which he had seen on the night when Sulfona had run out alone. Next to the dying demon stood a girl with long blond hair. She had a beautiful face and an aggressive smile that Brewster would never forget after seeing her once.
"Is that you?"
The girl didn't respond to him, just swayed her waist and disappeared around the corner of the corridor. Brewster rubbed his eyes, he was sure he wasn't hallucinating, the girl was real. The young knight ran, and the wound that had not yet healed was aching, and he staggered. Turning the corner, Brewster saw the girl standing again at the end of the corridor. The girl remained silent with her back to him.
"What are you going to do? are you going to let me go?" Brewster struggled to put on a relaxed expression, "It's not fun, let's rest in peace at night." Didn't Master Hetty also say that we should not disturb the workers in their work. We'll talk about it later. β
Listening to Brewster's words, the girl grinned. Brewster felt himself hear a sneer. Immediately, the girl's figure disappeared around the corner like a ghost, and Brewster gritted his teeth, and he chose to continue chasing after him.
"Well, maybe you're a demon who has turned into a sulfona. All in all, I'm interested in you. I'm going to have to catch you. β
Brewster muttered to himself. He thought it was a little ridiculous, and he was chasing the girl like this in his dream. It seemed that the never-ending corridor was a labyrinth, and when Brewster was out of breath, the blonde girl finally stopped in the middle of the corridor. Brewster looked around in confusion, this place seemed no different from the rest, and he didn't understand why the girl had brought him here. Brewster slowed down, grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her over. The girl did not struggle, but turned obediently, and looked at Brewster with interest. Brewster was stunned, this girl was not Sulfona, nor was it the crazy girl he had seen in the night. Still, Brewster felt that she had a subtle resemblance to both faces.
"Who are you?"
Listening to Brewster's questioning, the girl smiled and spoke. Her voice gave Brewster the feeling of calm and haughty, which was the temperament that Brewster sometimes felt in the Holy City. It's just that this girl's eyes are very jumping, as if everything is in her plan. Brewster frowned, he didn't like this style because it reminded him of his father.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is who you are. β
The girl said as she played with Brewster's sword. Brewster was stunned, the long sword at his waist had unknowingly changed hands. The sword was one of the knight's most important weapons, and Brewster broke out in a cold sweat. With the flickering firelight, Brewster could see that the girl had silver pupils.
"You're a big sword, why are there three big swords here?"
"Because it's worth having three fighters here. The girl said calmly, "You haven't answered my question yet, do you think about who you are?"
"I ......"
There were many answers that Brewster wanted to say in a moment. He was Brewster, one of the buriest of his peers, the son of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, a nobleman, a native of the Holy City, and a believer in the twin goddesses. However, Brewster realizes that so many identities can't piece together his identity. Looking at the long sword that the girl was playing with in her hand, Brewster suddenly understood what the girl wanted to hear.
"I'm a knight. β
"Very well, Mr. Knight. The girl plunged her sword into Brewster's scabbard, then gave him a graceful smile in return, "Now I have a secret to tell you." This secret concerns the people of the Holy City, and you Gemini Cult, would you like to hear it?"
Brewster smiled wryly. Awakened as a "knight", he naturally couldn't refuse this request. From the very beginning, all the rhythms were grasped by this girl. He caught Brewster's curiosity and recklessness and brought him here. He also used Brewster's beliefs and ideals to control the direction of the conversation. Brewster realized that he had to concentrate on the girl.
