Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Long Sword XVIII
"You told me a lot of interesting things, the holy city of mankind, very interesting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" the demon said with a grin, "I wish I could go in and see it myself." ”
"Don't be stupid, demon. All those who enter the Holy City will be tested for blood. Your purple blood will be exposed in an instant. Brewster said. He raised his tune to make the real Sulfona hear.
"Not necessarily. I'm a pretender, do you know what a pretender is, and I devour you, and I can get most of your memories. I can even inherit your swordsmanship and knowledge. My disguise is so clever that I can't even detect it with a big sword. I can turn into your past, son of one of the Two Treasures of the Holy City, I don't think anyone dares to stop me. ”
"You couldn't be more wrong. Brewster snorted disdainfully, "Everyone in the Holy City knows that I am a knight, not some merchant nobleman. The guards will test my blood. ”
"And what about me pretending to be a wounded?" said the impostor, holding out a human-like hand, "I spit your blood on my body and limped into the Holy City. When they see me weak and my bright red blood, will they test my blood?"
“……”
"Stupid humans, there are so many ways to demons. You don't know anything about the power of the pretender. ”
Looking at the pretender's arrogant attitude, Brewster suddenly understood.
"You're trying to trick Sulfona into trusting you after eating me. If she sees me walking by, Sulfona might let her guard down. The reason why you are here is because you don't know anything about me and Sulfona, and you will be exposed if you are talking. Brewster saw that the demon on the other side was silent, and he felt that he had grasped the crux of the matter, "Very well, since you are still thinking about calculating Sulfona, then she must be fine now." But why hasn't she come back yet?"
The demon was silent, an attitude that made Brewster even more suspicious. The pretender who refused to move, the vanished Sulfona, all the clues seemed to be threaded into a line. Brewster stroked his own chin, unaware of the movement that resembled his father's.
"It's strange, why don't you do it? Didn't you inflict the wound on my body?If you could easily tear my right arm, why don't you just eat me?" Brewster said, looking at the other man, "I thought of a possibility—"
"There were probably two demons from the beginning. One is the demon who hurt me, and the other is you. You're not strong at all, so you know you don't dare to do it directly with me now. Even if one of my hands is crippled, you want to make me surrender myself. Brewster said with a smile, "I always thought that demons wouldn't cooperate with each other, but you are aliens, not ordinary demons. If there is a demon who is good at disguise and hunting, and another demon with great force, it must be a perfect combination. The reason why Sulfona didn't come back for a long time is that I think she must have been haunted by another demon. You want to pretend to be me and deceive Sulfona after you get rid of me. But the only thing I can't figure out is, why don't you just turn into me and go to Sulfona?"
Brewster said in a confident tone, but his heart was beating a drum. All of his analyses are based on the fact that the other party is a rational individual. If the demon simply wanted to torment Brewster's mind, watching his frightened and wavering expression, then all of Brewster's wisdom and words would be useless. Fortunately, the demon bowed up in despair.
"You're a very smart human being, I haven't underestimated you, but you've found a flaw. The impostor sighed, "I can disguise myself as the person I see, but I can't know his memory." If you want to trick that greatsword distraction, your memories are not available. She is sensitive and not easy to deceive at all. ”
Brewster suddenly felt light, and with his left hand he drew his knight's sword, then slashed at the demon crookedly. As he thought, this demon as tall as him was even slightly inferior to Brewster in strength. The demon also has established claws, but after "shrinking", not even the armor on Brewster's body can pierce it. Brewster's left-handed sword was rotten, and he swirled it like a stick. But such a clumsy swordsmanship also weighed down the pretender's head. When Brewster hears from his father that he can kill the weak demon of poison hemlock, he will still be suspicious. But now Brewster is full of confidence.
"Don't think you've won, human!" the demon roared angrily, stretching its claws smaller than its kind to resist Brewster's sword, "The Pretender is a scout, not a frontal unit. You have nothing to rejoice in even if you defeat me!, your companion, the abominable greatsword meets the Raider. Try to pray to your twin goddesses for her. ”
"Raiders?" Brewster was stunned.
"That's right, the Raiders are the most evenly distributed among us. Not weak stamina, overwhelming speed, great resilience, and their most feared explosive power......"
"I don't understand what you're saying, but I understand that Sulfona will fix it. Brewster smiled, "You're in a hurry to fight me, don't you just want to help that raider as soon as possible, and if the raider really has the upper hand, then why don't you wait until you've dealt with Sulfona before you come to me for trouble?"
"You're so smart that I hate it. ”
The demon had a hideous expression, and its body turned red. In contrast, Brewster's muscles bulged high, and his already somewhat cynical face was covered with beads of sweat. In the battle of power, Brewster has the upper hand, but there is a hidden danger here. Brewster knew nothing about the physical body of the "pretender", but the pretender knew everything about humanity. Demons only eat humans, and humans eat everything. Purely philosophically speaking, human beings may be inherently evil creatures. Demons that only eat humans undoubtedly have an advantage. Brewster only felt the demon beneath him slip off the ground like a loach, and his arm was slashed behind him.
"Humans, though these words are a little strange for demons. But don't you think you're too selfish?" the pretender's snort lingered over the back of Brewster's neck, and he felt as if he was being ****ed by an invisible tongue, "That great sword is exhausted to protect you. She's so strong that if the raiders fight her head-on, there's no certainty of victory. But to protect you, she runs everywhere...... Exhausted ......"
"She'......" Brewster suddenly felt weak, and she remembered how weak she had been when she first saw Sulfona.
"We hate greatswords, but we hate you humans even more. The greatsword is a butcher who kills wantonly for self-gratification, and you humans are lowly moths who take advantage of this......"
"I didn't take advantage of her!"
"Do you want to say that the Great Sword deserves to protect humanity?"
"No, I'm friends with Sulfona!
"Friend, that's not taking advantage of the weakness of the greatsword. The demon sneered and said, "In an environment that is spurned by humans, you can reap the friendship of the Great Sword with a little tenderness. Do you really think it's friendship? How much have you done for Dajian? How much have you considered for her? How can Dajian be friends when there is such a big difference in strength between Dajian and you?"
Brewster was dipped in cold water by the question. Ever since he woke up, Brewster hadn't cared about Sulfona's condition. He takes Sulfona's strength for granted, and he acquiesces that Sulfona is omnipotent. But this is really just self-deception. Along the way, Brewster's fragile posture has been seen several times, both mentally and physically. But Brewster chose to ignore it because—
"I have something I want to do. Brewster suddenly calmed down, his muscles intertwined and burst out with force, "That's right, what about I'm using Sulfona? I will repay her for this kindness after I have accomplished my goal. ”
"And what is your goal?"
"My goal ......"
Brewster was visibly brooding. Tell the Holy Maiden what happened here, save Alik and keep him fighting as a knight, these are Brewster's goals, but they are not all. He remembered what his father had said after he threw his beloved cane into the lake.
"In the end, it all will turn into the same clear sound, into the same ripples. A hundred years have passed, and all struggles are dust. What have we left behind for this world?"
Brewster's desire is not to save one knight, but to save all knights. It is not about protecting any one person, but about those who are born and will be born from now on. Let them be saved from suffering, so that the noble will not be overwhelmed by the forces of evil. What the pedophile scum did to the Alik family is just the tip of the filth in this world, and Brewster needs to eradicate it all.
"I want to be a knight. ”
Brewster swept the demon flying, slamming its ugly mouth against the rock wall. Brewster's remaining arm slashed into the demon's body, her fist sliced by the demon's bones and claws, but the man who aspired to be a knight didn't frown.
"You can't even wield a sword...... "The demon sneered.
"My body is broken, and I may not be able to become a knight. But......," Brewster growled, "I'm going to make everybody knights." All people are equal, they have equal rights. The Twin Goddesses treated all animals and humans equally, but after the death of the Twin Goddesses, we went down the wrong path. The powerful began to oppress the people, and the bourgeoisie began to exploit the people. ”
"Equality?" the demon fell to the ground dying, but she still showed a mocking look, "Actually, ......"
The demon's words lingered in her mouth, but a sword tip suddenly appeared from her body. Brewster was taken aback and couldn't help but take a few steps back. He had struck the demon against the rock wall, and the sword had stabbed straight from the back of the rock wall. The great sword that pierced the rock wall pierced the demon's chest, and then the tip of the sword slowly moved upward, slicing the demon's neck and head in two, as if slicing through a piece of butter.
"Sulfona...... no...... Who are you?"
