"I don't know. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but I guess there are still a lot of demons here, so let's get to a safe place as soon as possible. The demon has fled, but he will surely come back for revenge. I may not be able to fight it and protect you at the same time. Maybe it's a good idea to leave overnight. ”

Sulfona was anxious to go, but Alik's face turned pale. He remembered that the little girl he had just mentioned had forgotten in the broken cabin. Demons lurk here, and no one knows what kind of danger they will encounter. The three of them hurriedly returned to the station, only to find that the original house had collapsed. The aftermath of Sulfona's battle with the demons has caused the ruined buildings around them to crumble into ruins. Alik's eyes widened, he held a torch in one hand and gouged through the dirt and bricks with the other. It was impossible for a child to survive the collapse, and everyone but Alik had given up hope. Sulfona felt guilty, and she knew it might be her fault. Brewster sighed.

"Daddy...... Daddy is alone now, but he used to be married and has a daughter. My wife died early, but my father always loved her daughter. "But one day my father's daughter suddenly disappeared, and the child was about ten years old at the time. Daddy was on the verge of breaking down. ”

"Suddenly missing?"

"That's right, Daddy was the backbone of the knights at that time, and he often had to be on duty in the Holy City. He went out that day, and his father's daughter was playing in the yard, and when he came back, the person was gone. Daddy didn't give up, he kept looking in the holy city, he felt that the child must be lost, as long as he looked for it, he would definitely find it in the end. He missed work and was deducted from his salary, but he still called his daughter's name every day. In the end, the neighbor who lived diagonally across the door from him finally couldn't help it. In the evening, the neighbor told Daddy the truth. ”

“…… What is the truth? ”

"The truth is that his daughter was not lost, but was taken away." Brewster shook his head, "That's a son of a big man in the Holy City, and that kid is especially fond of very young girls. He would secretly look for little girls he liked from outside the Holy City and play with them. This time he fell in love with his father's daughter, but he didn't dare to force it. Daddy is a knight, and he is also an important member of the Cult of the Twins. So he took advantage of his father's mission to secretly abuse his father's daughter. The surrounding neighbors were coerced and seduced by him. What a scumbag, Dad never dreamed that the person he was born to protect would plot against his daughter. ”

For some reason, Sulfona suddenly thought of humans and warriors. The human beings protected by the warriors spurned the warriors in turn. Things in this world are so weird and twisted. Sulfona shook the thoughts out of her head, she wanted to hear the ending.

"And then? Daddy killed that scumbag brother? ”

"If Daddy had done that, you wouldn't have seen him alive and kicking around now. Although I think he should do that, too. Brewster sighed, "Daddy has met with that big man in the Holy City in private. There was some conversation between them, and I don't know exactly what they talked about, but I never saw the son of a big man in public again. I guess he was sent to the south by the adults to become the emperor of the soil. But Dad was also sent to the countryside on a mission, and he would have been qualified to apply to be the deputy head of the Knights. ”

Sulfona was silent, and Daddy traded his future for a punishment for the big man's son. Sulfona didn't know if the deal was worth it, but she could feel the volcanic anger and forbearance beneath Alik's body.

"I think that Daddy's willingness to save that child may have something to do with this incident." Brewster said.

"Does that girl resemble Daddy's daughter?"

"Not really. The hair color doesn't look like it. But Daddy must not feel like it. "That way Daddy will know for sure that they are not alone, and that he will be able to free himself from the past." ”

"Like a twin goddess?" Sulfona asked rhetorically.

"That's right, it's like a twin goddesses. We call them twins, but they don't look like each other at all. But in the midst of these differences, there is a resonant similarity. Oh wait, look over there! ”

Sona followed Brewster's shouts and saw a ragged child standing on the street corner. She had blood on her forehead and a lot of wounds on her body, but it was still the same. The girl stood among the ruins, staring blankly at the dark night sky. Alec was overjoyed, he threw down the torch and ran over, and took the girl in his arms.

"Thank goodness you're okay. You're hurt, did you get hit by a falling tile? It's incredible, it must be a miracle of the twin goddesses. It's great that you're alive! ”

The girl stiffened and did not move. Alik looked carefully at the girl's dull face, and the girl suddenly spoke. It was the first time Alik had heard the girl speak. Although her voice is immature, her slightly hoarse voice makes people feel a burst of vicissitudes inexplicably.

"Why save me?"

"Why ......," Alik was surprised, thinking that perhaps the kid didn't have a clear idea of what he was heading. But he soon realized that the little girl was serious about asking.

"I've been thinking about this all the time, why did you save me?" The girl muttered, the ends of her flaxen hair sticking to her cheeks, but she didn't realize it, "You have a hard time fighting demons, why did you think of protecting me?" The first time we met, you don't know if I'm good or bad, why are you so happy to see me alive? I don't understand. ”

“…… I saved you for some selfish reasons. You...... Reminds me of another person. Alik was silent for a while, then replied earnestly, "But I don't think it's important. The point of life is continuity, you are still alive, I saved you, what we need to think about is what will happen next. Reason, reason, that's what worked before it happened. One should not be attached to the past. ”

"What's next?"

"That's right, what's next." Alik nodded, "Are you glad you're still alive?" When the danger has passed, others find you safe and happy for you. Are you disgusted by this? ”

The girl groaned for a while, her body trembling slightly, and Alik held her up.

"I ...... I'm alive and I'm happy. I don't find it annoying at all that people care about me. The girl lay on Alex's broad arms, her voice choked, "But I don't know why, I want to cry." ”

"Then cry frankly, it's your right. People who have endured pain and suffering have the right to pray to the Twin Goddesses, and the Twin Goddesses will surely respond to them. Alik stroked the girl's head with his broad hand. This scene couldn't help but overlap with a scene in his memory. At that time, he also hugged a girl and soothed the girl's crying with the warmth of his palm. But fate snatched her away from Alik, causing irreparable scars. Alec found it difficult to look directly at the child in his arms. Seeing her face, Alik sees the smile of another person. However, Alik took it all as a blessing and enjoyed it silently.

Alik thought he would no longer have the opportunity to carry this weight with his arms, but the reality is always unpredictable. What I once felt lost has come back in another form. Alik felt an indescribable sense of happiness all over his body.

The girl broke free from Alex's embrace. She looked up at her little face and said seriously.

"My name is Heloise, and I will repay you."

Alik smiled indifferently, and the first rays of dawn cast on his face, making him look a few years younger.

"My name is Alex, and I feel like you've repaid me."

The girl quickly fell asleep, and Alec took her in his arms and set off on his way. Knowing that there are countless demons lurking here, several people dare not camp here. On the way, Sulfona asks Alik about demons. The old knight didn't know the rules of demon alienation, but he had heard of demons detoxifying by eating large quantities.

"The study of demons has not stopped." Alik explained, "The church and your Greatsword organization are in a state of close opposition, and there is no information about demons on either side, so we have to find someone to do it ourselves. Decades ago, it was proposed to poison demons with poison. Some potent poisons are effective for all creatures regardless of race. There is a plant called 'poison hemlock' that grows in the humid areas on the edges of lakes and swamps, and it is very poisonous. In pastoral areas, livestock often die from eating poison hemlock, and there are often cases of poisoning by mistake. ”

"But it didn't work out?"

"It's successful, the demons have indeed been affected, but in the case of a small dose, it can only weaken them." Alik said, "In the end, the experiment records that after being poisoned, the demon will have a stronger desire to attack. It miraculously survived after eating a large amount of human entrail. However, the samples of demons that the church can find are very scarce, and it is too difficult for humans to catch live demons. Each demon requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and even a lot of sacrifices. The record I saw was gone here. ”

"How weak will the demons be?" Sulfona asked.

Alek smiled, with Helois behind her back, and pointed to Brewster, who was hurrying beside her.

"A novice knight like him can easily solve it."

"You look like you're doing a great job."

Sulfona laughed too, and Brewster shrugged his shoulders in dissatisfaction. He felt that he was among the top novice knights. Sulfona quickly stopped smiling, and she thought about what was behind it.

"Is this method practical?"

"Nope." Alik shook his head, "The biggest problem is that we can't tell who the demon is, so it's hard to poison it. It's hard for us to slash demons by spitting poison on our weapons. Unless we put poison in human guts - but that's too inhumane. If we could tell the demons when they were still in human form, it would be much easier. ”

"If a warrior cooperates with you, will it be possible to assassinate demons effortlessly?"

"Theoretically, that's so."
