Chapter 20: The Short Stick Epilogue

In the early morning in the forest, two black shadows walked through the forest. Walking a little ahead www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion was a strange man who was covered in black bandages and only showed his two eyes. Behind him was a man in black with a black hat. These two men were agents belonging to the Great Sword organization, "Starf". It was Elumida, who was bandaged, and Lulu, who was wearing a hat behind him. The so-called agent is a type of person who is responsible for assisting the great sword to complete the demon crusade task. They work for the Greatsword organization "Starf", but they are not half-human, half-demon like Greatsword, but ordinary humans. However, they are adept at tracking and searching, often traveling between different greatswords and organizations, passing messages and exchanging items. However, these two people came out this time with a special task.

"Haven't you found Simona yet?" said Elomeda, frowning, "I seemed to smell her here a few days ago, but she chased her away. Is she ready to defect?"

On the other hand, Lulu, who walked behind Elumida, looked much more relaxed.

"Possibly. Soldiers who defect are usually fetters or dissatisfied with the organization......"

"Right...... Is the organization dissatisfied?"

Elomeda heard Ruru's words and couldn't help but ponder. He remembered a message he had received from headquarters not long ago.

"I heard that the Awoken we put in the north have been killed? Do you think this was done by Simona?"

"I think so. Lulu nodded and said, "Judging from the letters that have been sold, the Awakened were killed in the state of the Awakened Body. And it was a sword wound on its body, which means that it should have been killed by a great sword. That awakened body is still quite strong, we have been working together for many years, and the person who can kill it single-handedly must be a single-digit greatsword. ”

"So......" Elumeda nodded, "has the wound been examined? What do the madmen who like to study say?"

"There weren't many external injuries, but the internal organs and brain had been beaten into a pulp. Lulu shrugged, "Then it's said that even Daya's research freak isn't interested in dissecting. ”

"Really? It seems that Simona did it. It was a characteristic mark left by her sword. I'm her agent, I know best. It's just a pity, we have to find the garbage recycling machine again. ”

"Garbage collection machines?" said Lulu thoughtfully, "Isn't that a little too cruel?"

"What's cruel. Some of the greatswords that have reached the end of their useful life should be destroyed quickly, otherwise they will become dissenting to the organization, which will be a bit troublesome. In addition, it is better to recycle uncontrolled tools as soon as possible. ”

"So you're going to let those problem children in the Great Sword crusade against the Awakened?"

"That's it. Minimize all the effects......" Elumida laughed suddenly, "Isn't that a good ending for those great swords?, they hate demons so much, but some of them have been ruined by the Awakened. I gave them a chance to take revenge, but they didn't cherish it, it's a shame. ”

"But the Awoken is dead. Are you going to find another one?"

"There will always be awakened people who are willing to work with us. ”

"What are you going to do with Simona?" asked Lulu, "'reclaiming' her?"

"If Simona's current state is in a complete state, it may be a bit difficult to recover. Elumeda frowned, "Virginia, who is now number one, is also unreasonable about the organization, and we need another person to compete with her......"

"I heard that Simona and Virginia don't have a good relationship?"

"They've always looked down on each other. "We can take advantage of that." If Simona hadn't been overtly rebellious, I think we'd still need her. ”

The two men spoke, and their steps did not stop at all. They came to a small town in a valley full of dead bodies. Many of them had their chests cut open and blood was pouring all over the floor. Elomica walked past the corpses with an indifferent expression, he was used to seeing the village destroyed by the demons. Human villages grow like moss in the corners of the mountains, and this town is just a small part of the continent, and Elumedar has no sense of the deplorable situation. Lulu shrugged slightly, and he saw a man stinking of alcohol slumped to the ground. In his hand he held a broken axe with several large notches in its blade. The junction between the head of the axe and the wooden handle is also somewhat loose.

"What are you looking at?"

"A dead man, drunkard. "He tried to fix his axe, but he died halfway through." ”

"Really?" said Elomeda, shrugging.

In the end, he couldn't fix his axe. ”

"I don't think he needs an axe anymore. ”

Elomida fell silent as soon as he said this, his mind completely occupied by the demon's actions and Simona's possible response. Ordinary demons don't suddenly rush out and kill people on a large scale, and their food is also very limited, so they can't expose themselves like this. Otherwise, an Awoken is nearby, but Elumedar is sure she has insight into the location of most of the Awoken. Either two seasoned demons are fighting for territory, or maybe one of the demons has suddenly gone crazy, anything is possible. Lulu sighed at the corpse, and then drew a symbol of the twin goddesses on his chest, even though he did not believe in them at all. However, he believed that these dead people must have longed for the salvation of the twin goddesses before they died, and that religion was such a thing.

Soon, the two of them came to the clearing where Simona was before. The two of them wanted to get closer, but they sensed the whistle emanating from Simona's sky. The two of them were just ordinary human beings, and they didn't dare to provoke Simona, so they pushed it away. Now when the two of them came again, they found that Simona was gone, and only the two children were lying on the ground. Not far away, a demon was on the spot, and his head was shattered.

Lulu walked quickly to the demon's body. It was clear that the demon had been killed by a nearby log. Its head was in chaos, with only a little of the skull attached to its neck. The early morning grass condensed with a layer of fog that made the demon's corpse look even more colorful. Lulu couldn't help but cover his nose with a towering collar.

"Looks like Simona did it. This is a trace of her. Elamida walked over, glanced at it, and said, "Her sword has a kind of anti-shock power that can directly penetrate the demon's shell and damage the demon's interior. You see this level of bursting, that's not something that ordinary power generation methods can do. ”

"But why doesn't she use a sword?"

"Maybe she doesn't want to use the weapons the Order gave her anymore?" Elomica shrugged, "It doesn't matter, it's just that Simona seems to be gone." The smell of her stay here is already faint, and we are in the air again. ”

"Judging by the traces collected by my hands, she stayed here for several months. Lulu scratched his head in confusion, "Actually, I have always wondered why Simona is staying here?"

"You mean...... She might be injured?" Elamida narrowed her eyes, "It's unlikely, after such a long time, the non-fatal wound would have healed long ago." If she had been mortally wounded, she would not have been able to come here from the north. You don't know much about Simona, but this was where she used to stay. ”

"Oh?"

Lulu raised his eyebrows in surprise. The so-called station is the territory that the organization divides for the big sword. All demon crusade missions on the station where Greatsword belongs are under the responsibility of Greatsword. The strength and number of demons vary from region to region, so the Great Sword Organization has numbered both regions and Great Sword. Only the strongest greatsword can be stationed in demon-infested areas, at least nominally.

"Moreover, Simona once had something to do with a human man here. ”

"Huh, you're talking about that ugly and weird rocky sword?" Lulu said in surprise.

"Everybody has that kind of time. Elamida shrugged in surprise, "She'd just finished her mission and accidentally stumbled into the battlefield while walking on the road. There was a knight with a squad of soldiers who were surrounded. The knight used his last strength to kill the local general. But even so, he was overwhelmed by the influx of enemies. Simona admired the man's courage and rescued him......"

"Isn't it true that the Great Sword can't participate in this kind of human battle in principle?"

"She took off her armor and didn't use a sword. Elamida shrugged, "Principles are principles. She didn't kill anyone, she just saved the knight. Saving people is part of Greatsword's mission, and we can't blame her. So in the end, the high-level discussion, citing the ranking promotion as a reason, transferred her from that place. ”

"And then?"

"No more. I am not interested in knowing about Simona's private life. She and the human might like each other, but the gap is too big to be fruitful. "All in all, this place is important to Simona, so she stayed here for a long time. Maybe I'm looking for the person back then. ”

"Did she find it?"

"Who knows?" said Elomeda, "more than a dozen years have passed, and humanity is fragile, and may have died a long time ago. However, that knight should be made a marquis when he returns, and maybe he has forgotten about Simona long ago. Even if you find it. Simona was afraid that she wouldn't go to see that person. After all, she's such an awkward person, but I think she'll regret it one day. I've always thought so, but what does it have to do with me?"

Lulu listened to Elamida's words and laughed.

"You know her well. ”

"I'm a professional and know every big sword under my hands. Elamida said noncommittally, "Alright, let's keep tracking." ”

"What about these kids?"

Lulu gestured to the two children lying nearby.

"They are supposed to be children from a nearby village, but the village has been destroyed by demons. ”

"It's still the same, let's send it to the organization, and the trainees in this batch are almost all together. "They may have seen Simona and the demons fighting with their own eyes, and I think they would be happy to become greatswords to avenge their families." If you're lucky enough to make it to the end, it's a good tool. ”

"Is that so?" Lulu pushed the brim of his black hat, which from the side looked like it was always full of ominous crows, "I'm worried that Simona had said something to them, or had some bad news for the organization. ”

"It doesn't matter. "They are now helpless, and in a few days they may be eaten by wild beasts in this wood." They have no choice but to be trained as trainees. When they do become big swords, they are half-human, half-demon monsters, and they are no longer accepted by humans. At that time, they could only rely on us. ”

"What if they grow up and start rebelling?"

"Unless they can be the abyss, or have a very good mind, and are geniuses in decision-making, I don't think they will have a big impact on the organization. But I'm afraid that one in 10,000 people like that. Whether these two little guys can become big swords is another matter. Elumida's small eyes under the bandage showed a sly light, "If Simona really likes these two little guys, we can use them to control Simona in turn." ”

Lulu was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

"You've thought it through. ”

"Of course, I'm professional and never make mistakes. Elamida turned, "You arrange for someone to send these two children to the organization." Then investigate why the demons here suddenly go crazy. I continued to track down Simona. She's really hard for me to find, and when I catch her, I'm going to let her go to the north to fight the Awakened. ”

Elumeda babbled away. Although both Elumida and Lulu were nominally agents and had no superior-subordinate relationship, Lulu still obeyed Elumida's words. He walked over to the girls lying on the ground and looked at them carefully. Although one of them looks sickly, he has a clear face and is a complete beauty embryo. She was wearing a very expensive dress, and she was obviously noble. The other was much inferior to the first, dressed in a maid's costume and looked like a maid. However, Lulu noticed that the girl's hand was cracked, and a trace of blood was dripping out. With great interest, he wandered to the side of the log where the demon had been slain, and was not surprised to see that there was also a little blood on one end of the log.

Lulu crouched down and wrote a few words on the note, and then released the carrier pigeon that delivered the message. It won't be long before the two girls are brought into the organization. He lowered the brim of his hat and smiled. Maybe Elomica had made a mistake this time, he thought. And this may also be a good opportunity.

Note: Then the first part of the Great Sword Chapter is finished. It was also a challenge for me to write in the fragmented time of school. This section is not satisfying, but at least it is complete. The next part will be the story of Intern Sina, and then an important character from the old work, Doris, will be introduced. After the reset, the characters all have very different personalities, but the outline of the story seems to me to be basically the same. In addition to the martial arts style, I also want to follow the current mainstream online writing mode as much as possible - that is, the mode of the protagonist from weak to strong, so that everyone's sense of substitution will be deeper. In the later volumes, Sulfona basically appeared as a supporting character, and she was strong from the beginning.

This chapter was written just in time for the first anniversary of the book's serialization. I have been writing for a year and have experienced some ups and downs, and I am very grateful to my book friends who have supported me. As you can see, the name change was a great success. I hope more people will read my book.

Also, you've been so cold lately...... There are no reviews or recommendations, and even the clicks are very bleak, crying.
