Chapter 3 Short Stick III
The two men talked for a while, and after making an appointment for the next meeting, Mary jumped away. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Sulfona was lying in the clearing, and the few duels just now had exhausted her.
A few black crows flew in the sky, and the crows circled over Sulfona's head a few times before crowing and flying away. The voice sounded like it was shouting:
"Fool!
Sulfona grabbed the pebble and threw it at the crow.
"Even you call me a fool! Am I really that stupid!"
The crow was frightened by the stones thrown at him, and flew away with his wings, but the fool's cry did not diminish at all. As she watched the crow disappear into the sky, she felt a chill in her heart - she realized that the cry of the fool was not from the sky, but from behind her. Sulfur quickly got up and looked back.
In the depths of the dark forest, a strand of golden hair emerged like a meandering stream. Sulfona swallowed.
There was a guy there.
"Who's there?Is it a human or a ghost?!"
Sulfona hurriedly held the wooden stick that she had just fought against Mary in her hand, and cautiously approached the other party. Halfway through, I heard a giggle.
"I'm a ghost. β
"Liar! How can the ghost laugh and talk to me!"
"Maybe you've met a ghost who can laugh. β
"Where can a ghost call me a fool?"
"Maybe you're a big fool. β
Hearing this, Sulfona also understood that the other party was mocking herself, and she swung her stick in anger and whistled in the air. The man on the other side saw that Sulfur was starting to get angry, and suddenly sneered dryly a few times.
"It doesn't seem to be stupid to the bone. β
"Why are you lying?! My mother said that liars are not good people. Sulfona asked.
"Haha, not a good person. Yes, yes, not a good person. The strange man who pretended to be a ghost laughed a few more times, and then continued, "You ask me if I am a human or a ghost, and I want to say that I am not a ghost, but a human, what should you do?"
"What to do?"
"I say fool, you must not tell anyone about me and you, butter, bread, honey, and water. Not even your mom and dad. If someone found out, I might have been hung up and beaten. Then you'll never have more butter bread and honey water!"
The strange man suddenly pinched his throat and spoke, and his voice was sharp and thin, and he learned Mary's rough and squeamish appearance ten out of ten. Sulfona was amused by her when she heard this, but when she finished laughing, she also showed a sad face.
"yes, so you saw it all. How can that be?"
The next time you see her, she asks if you have told anyone, and you say no. Isn't that the end of it?"
"Isn't that a lie? Mary was so nice to me, how could I lie to her?"
"She's been lying to you for so long, why can't you lie to her?" the strange man said as he spoke, and suddenly his voice was as cold as an ice cellar, "She is richly dressed and thoughtful, where does she look like a maid? If I'm not mistaken, she's not Mary at all, she's the daughter of the lord here, Tifa. β
"That's all the delicious food that Mary worked so hard to bring me!"
When she heard someone say something bad about Mary, she immediately gritted her teeth in anger.
"You idiot, if she risked hanging and beating her, how could she give it to you? If she doesn't eat it herself, she won't have a father or mother? He won't have brothers and sisters? How long have you known her? Why should you give it to you?" the strange man snorted coldly and continued, "You are stupid, I am not stupid. The swordsmanship she taught you is clearly the swordsmanship of a soldier on the battlefield, this kind of thing, even if a little maid accidentally sees one move and two styles, how can she know the full set of swordsmanship? The swordsmanship is clearly handed down by their ancestors, and the stories she tells you when she practiced swords are also clearly her ancestors. Otherwise, how could outsiders know so much detail?"
"Then ......," Sulfona muttered to herself at the call, but she gritted her teeth in the end, "Anyway, Mary is very good to me." She taught me swordsmanship, gave me food, and she's a good person!"
"Stupid, stupid. Do you know why she taught you the ancestral swordsmanship?"
"Because she's a good person?"
Sulfona asked, touching her head.
"No, that's because you're stupid. Seeing that Sulfur was about to get angry, the strange man hurriedly explained, "Because you are a fool, you can't learn much of the swordsmanship in your hands." Even if you learn it, because you are stupid, laugh at you a few times, be coquettish, and tell you not to say it, you won't say it. Because you are stupid, let you be the target of her sword practice, and you have no complaints. I ask you, do you know why you can't beat her?"
"Because she's better than me?"
"She's tall and long-handed, skilled in swordsmanship, and she's indeed better than you. But your last sword is considered a super level performance, even if she is two or three years older, she can't parry it at all. Do you know why you still lost in the end?"
"I don't know ......"
"You idiot, don't you think about it?" said the stranger, gritting his teeth, "what she taught you is the swordsmanship of the battlefield in the open, which is always slashing and stabbing from the top, where is the swordsmanship of lifting the waist? The swordsmanship she uses is not the same as your swordsmanship at all, and that set of swordsmanship is quite restrained by your swordsmanship, of course you can't beat her. β
"Maybe tomorrow she'll teach me that new set of swordsmanship. Sulfona thought for a moment and said.
"Well, she won't. If I'm right, she won't teach you that swordsmanship until she dies. β
"I don't believe it! Mary is not such a person!"
"I don't even know people's real names, thanks to what you said!"
Sulfona listened angrily. Although her parents sometimes beat and scolded her, she has never been so angry. She felt that every word of this strange man was full of guns and sticks, and she was scathing and mean, which was simply unprecedented. For a moment, Sulfona forgot to be afraid, and she took a few steps with her stick in her hand, just to slap the strange man out of anger. The strange man saw Sulfur coming, but he didn't dodge or dodge, and he didn't even move his head. Sulfona stepped over a few small bushes to see the strange man's appearance.
I saw her leaning against a tree, her legs propped up, and her long golden hair scattered on the ground, like a straw drying in autumn. Sulfona had never seen anyone with such long hair. The farmer's wife and children cut their hair short for the convenience of work. Shoulder-length hair like Mary's was already long, and Sulfona's mother couldn't work, so she had long hair, but it wasn't as long as the man's. Sulfona took a few steps to see her face, but the other person's head was covered with hair, and she couldn't see any expression.
"You ......"
Sulfur nudged the other man cautiously, but the weirdo didn't react. Sulfona was surprised when she suddenly noticed that it was pitch black beneath the strange man. She crouched down and saw that the ground was covered with dried blood, and even the dirt was stained with ink. The strange man was dressed in something like armor, but it had been torn apart, revealing white wounds. All the wounds were no longer bleeding, not because they were calloused, but because the blood was dry. Sulfona remembered the servant who had been working at the lord's house last time, and he had been beaten all over his body because his hands and feet were not clean, and he had touched the things of the lord's daughter, Tifa. That man's blood hadn't been shed that much.
Sulfona suddenly felt scared. It was now dusk, and there was no one in the woods, and there was a half-dead creature lying at her feet, and perhaps the servant of that house should have been beaten like this for doing something wrong. Sulfona stepped back in a panic, suddenly felt something stumble under her feet, and suddenly fell to the ground. She was so frightened that she stretched out her hand and groped around, only to feel a cold, metal-like thing on the ground. Sulfona looked down and saw that there was a silver hilt hidden beneath the leaves and bushes. The hilt was so large that she could only hold it with two hands. As soon as she wanted to try to see if she could pick up the sword, she suddenly heard a snort.
"Don't touch it!"
Frightened, Sulfur lowered her sword and looked back. The strange man who had just fallen to the ground and saw that he couldn't do it sat up. Her hair was spread out, like a dead ghost crawling out of the ground. And she was covered in blood, and she looked even more terrifying in the orange-red sunset. Between the messy strands of hair, a pair of silver pupils were wide open, staring fiercely at Sulfona.
The strange man let out a loud shout, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and suddenly he collapsed beside the tree. Sulfona cautiously bypassed the sword on the ground and came to the blonde-haired and silver-eyed stranger.
"Sister, you're hurt. β
The strange man snorted coldly and stopped talking. Seeing that she was so weak, Sulfur quickly untied her own water bag from her body and brought it to her mouth. When the strange man saw that water moistened his lips, he suddenly bit down on the water bag of Sulfona, and drank the water in an instant. Seeing that she could still drink the water, Sulfona knew that she could still be saved, so she hurriedly took out the butter bread that Mary had given her just now from her side and brought it to the strange man's mouth.
The strange man opened his silver eyes slightly, glanced at Sulfona obliquely, and then twisted his head away.
"Idiot, what are you doing here?"
"Sister, you have to eat this to have strength. I don't know what it is, but it should be delicious. "I'll get you a doctor from the town in a moment." If my mother was sick, she would always go to the doctor. β
The weirdo laughed dryly.
"Didn't you just get so angry that you wanted to tear me alive and swallow me alive? Why do you want to save me now?
"How can that work, my mother told me to accumulate virtue and do good. How can I leave you unsaved?"
"Idiot, do you know who I am?"
Sulfona looked the other up and down.
"Weirdos. β
"The blonde witch with silver eyesβhaven't you heard of it?"
"I heard that it was a half-demon that fused with demon flesh and blood...... Hunting demons for a living in exchange for bounties......" Sulfona said halfway through, suddenly covering her mouth, and then she remembered that the strange sister in front of her was with golden hair and silver eyes, "You're that...... Greatsword?"
"Ah, that's right. I am the great sword of your mouth. Greatsword smiled, then looked at the bushes on the ground, "What, are you still going to save me now?"
