Sulfona was thoughtful, she remembered the tragedy she had when she was a child. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoMaybe the demon who played his mother at the time was the so-called "abnormal appetite", or maybe there were more secrets in this. Brewster had little interest in these things, and he crouched on the ground and watched the demons. Brewster drew his sword and struck the demon's sledgehammer with the hilt. The demon's entire claws are joined together and become a single unit, covered with scaly skin like a fingernail. Brewster's sword slammed into it with a metallic sound.

"This is the first time I've seen such a demon. Sulfona was also curious.

"It's supposed to be an alienated demon. Recently, there have been more and more alienated demons. "Alik is relatively old and has a lot of experience," the demons generally seen are about two to three meters tall, with strong limbs, small heads, and sharp claws. The eyes are rounded, the pupils are golden, and the head has no horns. This kind of 'archetype', which is generally a demon, is the most common. If the demon occasionally has an aberration, it is said that the old demon will gradually change from a 'prototype' to a strange appearance. Some demons have grown fins and begin to move on the beach. Another demon has horns and spikes on its body. There are also demons that have grown wings and can fly. Generally, these demons are relatively strong. ”

"Then this is an alienated demon. Sulfona nodded thoughtfully, and she pointed to the demon's arm and said, "But I don't see any good in such a demon. Its arms are heavy and require a lot of muscle groups to swing. But in this way, its center will tilt forward, and the body will be rickety. This affects its flexibility and speed. Besides, if it doesn't have hands, how can it eat people?"

"Maybe it's just gnawing on it with its mouth. Alik made his guess, "Just like birds, they don't have claws, but they can still eat directly with their beaks." ”

"I don't see any benefit to the demons. Also, why is there a strange pattern on this demon's shoulder?"

Sulfona pointed to the demon's shoulder, only to see a twisted tattoo there, as if it were an enlarged "h". Sulfona stroked the tattoo with her hand, it was uneven, like some strange brand, and like a totem with mysterious powers.

"Who knows?" Brewster stood up, "well, why should I worry about being demonic all the time, that's its problem. Now I just want to get out of this place. How far is it from the Holy City?"

"It's not far off. But we should camp and wait until tomorrow. Demons can also maintain their vision at night, which is not good for us. Alek looked at the sky, and the sun was already setting. The days are short this season, "but we have to think about some other questions, like what should this child do?"

Both Sulfona and Brewster looked at the little girl sitting in the middle of the ruins. She looked around with her pale brown eyes, seemingly completely unaware of what was going on. All three adults felt a headache as they thought about how to explain it all to such a young child.

The group found a relatively intact hut and lived in. Brewster excitedly found a pot in the kitchen, and although one of the handles of the pot was broken, everything else was in good condition. Alik found an uncontaminated well, got some water out and started boiling it in the pot. Sulfona went alone into the woods, where she was going to find some decent prey. The demons' collective rampage caused the animals in the forest to flee in all directions, and it was not until late evening that Sulfura managed to catch four or five rabbits. Sulfona could see it in the dim environment, and she remembered Simona's way of catching her prey, otherwise they might have found nothing. Alik peeled off the rabbit's skin and began to boil it in water. Brewster didn't know where to pull out some of the plant's tuber roots and put them in the pot. After a while, a burst of meaty aroma wafted out.

Sulfona has little special dietary needs, and in fact the warrior's sense of taste is not very sensitive. After possessing a power far beyond that of humans, the warrior's sense of pain and taste was also destroyed by the flesh and blood of the demons. But the warriors no longer care about the enjoyment of their senses. After taking a few bites, Sulfur felt a tightness in her chest. Today, she used too much demonic power, and her body was also secretly injured. But she remained calm, squeezing down the dull pain that was running through her body.

Patience has always been a warrior's specialty.

Eating in a place where someone had just died was a little uncomfortable, and he sat on the ground restlessly, constantly looking out the window. Fortunately, a bonfire rose in the middle of the house and gave off a warm glow. Several people's faces were flushed, and the little girl held a wooden bowl and drank the soup in small sips. Today's gore doesn't seem to have much of an appetite for her. As the only woman, Sulfona is ready to make a little contact with the little girl. But as soon as she leaned over, the girl avoided it in disgust, as if she had encountered a ferocious monster. Sulfona smiled awkwardly, knowing that her appearance might intimidate the child.

"Don't worry, she's wary when she sees me for the first time. Alik seemed closer to the girl, and he touched the girl's head, "Just wait for you to spend some time together." ”

"I'm a little curious about how Daddy found this kid. ”

Alek glared at Brewster for the title "Daddy", but he didn't look deeper. In this dangerous environment that is close to the battlefield, people will always become more intimate.

"There's nothing to say. After I was separated from you, I chose to continue my march towards the Holy City. When I came to the village, I saw her standing in the street as a child. The entire street is covered with severed arms and blood of humans. It was like hell. I couldn't bear to let her stay there, so I walked over like her. She tried to run away, but I pulled out my dry ration......"

"Oh, that's it. ”

Brewster laughed, and Alik shook his head.

"It's a cruel thing for this kid, and you can even laugh. She hasn't said a word since I found her. I still don't know if she was born speechless or frightened. Alik turned his gaze to Sulfona, "What are you going to do with this child?, I've heard that your Greatsword organization has brought orphans to the organization to train to be Greatsword. ”

"Indeed, that's how most fighters come here, and so do I. Sulfona looked at the girl by the campfire and said, "But it depends on her own wishes. If she has a strong desire to take revenge on the demons, then I will be responsible for sending her to the Order. ”

"But I guess she doesn't understand the meaning of revenge. Alik sighed, he glanced at the little girl who was taking a sip of soup and said, "If I can, I'd like to wait until she's older to ask her." ”

Sulfona also turned her gaze to the girl sitting next to Alik, who had only now taken a closer look at her. The girl's clothes looked coarse, like a burlap bag. Other than that, there were no wounds or blood stains on the body, and it looked clean. She has short, simple flaxen-colored hair, which reminds Sulfona of her childhood self. The longer she became a warrior, the more she began to miss her previous hair color. Blonde hair and silver eyes are not just a sign of wetness, they are more like some kind of shackles. Sulfona pondered for a moment, then spoke her mind.

"I don't want her to be a fighter. ”

"I thought you greatsword wanted to have more companions. ”

Brewster whistled, but Sulfona looked at him sternly.

"Being a fighter is not pleasant, it is more of a frustration and ...... Liability. Warriors need to be clear about what they are in their creed, or they will only become slaves to power. I've been a fighter for a year now, and I still get confused about what a fighter is. I don't know exactly what my path as a warrior should be. ”

Sulfona said, staring blankly at the campfire. Sparks popping out of the burning branches illuminated the faces of the four people around them.

"Wait, are you also a survivor of the Demon Slayer incident?" Brewster suddenly turned the subject to Sulfona, fiddling with the bone in his hand and said, "Do you regret becoming a warrior now?"

"I can't talk about regrets or regrets, I'm just forced by the situation. ”

Sulfona stared blankly at the fire. The longer she became a warrior, the more the confusion in her heart grew. Maybe it was better for me to die in that disaster, to enter another world, to become another self. Sulfona felt that her current body no longer belonged to her, and that something else was dominating her. It was the anger that lingered in the body that could not be quelled, or the duty of a warrior, and the nostalgia for the past.

"I think you're a good fit to be a great sword, you've killed so many demons. When I met you, the corpses of those demons were lined up on the ground. At that time, I was thinking, I must have met someone superior. ”

"That'...... It's not ......."

"But what the hell is your injury? When I saw you, I thought you were an ordinary civilian, and I couldn't tell that you were a great sword. ”

Sulfona lowered her head and said no more. The flickering bonfire made it look like it was about to burn her low-hanging hair. Out of sight, her fists clenched. Alik noticed the change in atmosphere, and he turned his head to glare at the young knight. Brewster's face was dazed, his mind was not delicate enough to notice the subtle fluctuations of Sulfona's feelings.

"Brewster! You should apologize. ”

"I didn't say anything. Brewster muttered in response.

"No, I just thought about what happened before. Sulfona waved her hand at the two of them, then brushed the floor and stood up, "I want to go outside and cool down, it's a little hot here." I'll be back soon. ”
