Sulfona was stunned for a moment, though nodding. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info One of the main reasons she came to Herty was to hope that this problem could be solved. The two of them came to a stone chamber with only a flat bed and shelves for things. Sulfona found a small chair to sit on, and Hetty sat casually on the bed.

"This is my bedroom. ”

"So ......?"

Sulfura looked at the empty house, and couldn't find any good words to describe it for a while. Hetty took off her hood and smiled, she was very good-looking, and her smile was even more beautiful.

"You think it's a little depressing, but in fact, the watchtower wasn't intended to be inhabited. "Then we had to catch up, so the workers simply built some of the stone chambers themselves. The watchtower grew in size and became more like a castle. ”

"Definitely. Sulfona nodded, she had walked with Hetty for a long time in the corridor and had not walked the same path, "It just reminds me of some bad memories from the past." It's a bit like a prison or a dungeon. ”

"It's true that the environment is very simple, but the warriors don't need anything else, and all we rely on is the big sword in our hands. "The twin goddesses also taught us to be thrifty, even though some have long since forgotten about it." Okay, give me your hand. ”

Sulfona held out her hand, and she felt a scorching stream of air flow through her body in her palm. Invaded by external demonic power, Sulfona's body also reacted automatically. Her cheeks were red, and she felt like she was in a giant oven. Hetty's face became solemn.

"I heard you can't use demonic powers, don't you?" asked Sulfona, a little confused. She wanted to talk more to ward off the strange sensations in her body.

"It turns out that the rumors among your warriors are like this. Hetty nodded and said, "That's not true. It is impossible to defeat demons without demonic power. I just can't do a 'medium switch' from my magical powers. I don't know what you mean by demonic power, but I think it's actually a liquid. Demonic power flowed through my body like blood, strengthening my muscles. When I use the sword, the demonic power will flow into the sword, so the power of the sword will be stronger. Like now, I can infuse demonic power into your body and use it to probe your problems. ”

"And what's the point of 'medium conversion'?" asked Sulfur, "Isn't it a medium change from the body to the greatsword?"

"Absolutely, but the two mediums are not much different. "I think density is a measure of a medium. When demonic power flows in solids, there is no problem. But if the demonic power wants to enter the air from the physical body, it will be very difficult for me. In the same way, I can't capture the demonic power in the air. That's why I can't sense the existence of demons. My body and the outside world are almost two separate parts. There are a lot of inconveniences, but there are also benefits. For example, some demonic perception or demonic synchrony skills don't work for me. At the same time, when I use demonic power, I will have less waste. That's probably one of the reasons why I've gone further than many fighters. ”

"I see. ”

Sulfona nodded. She felt a little disappointed when she learned about Hetty's situation, because Hetty's situation was subtly different from her own. Hetty's symptoms are supposed to be a kind of "demonic power out of body dysfunction", while Sulfona's problem is more complex and intractable. But now that Hetty was able to find her own way, Sulfur felt she could. A short time later, Hetty withdrew her hand, her expression solemn. Sulfona's physical condition exceeded her expectations, and this was the first time she had seen this master warrior. The small bedroom was lit only by flickering flames, and Hetty's face became uncertain.

"It's weird, it's like you have two pieces of demon flesh in your body. Hetty pondered for a moment, she needed time to organize the language, "I think maybe something went wrong with you in the process of integration, or maybe your own system is not suitable for integration." Not all people are suitable for the Demon Flesh transplant, and the organization will weed out those like you who are unsuccessful in fusing them. ”

"Maybe there are many reasons why I wasn't removed......"

Sulfona said with a wry smile. If it weren't for Tifa's defection at the end, the Order might have considered Sulfona a a failure. Thinking of the trainees who died on the training ground, or the reserve soldiers buried in the deep dungeons, Sulfura felt terrified. She may be just one step away from being eliminated. According to the information revealed by Lulu, if it weren't for the organization's judgment that he might be able to clamp down on Tifa who defected, he might not be able to get his current treatment.

Sulfona frowned. Did Tifa choose to defect knowing that things would turn out like this? knowing that Sulfura might be abandoned, he gave Irona a value, a reason to exist. While the organization uses Sulfur as a weight to restrain Tifa, could this be a kind of protection that Tifa has carefully designed? If you look at it rationally, a smart person as Tifa may really think of this layer. But Sulfona now has no way of knowing what position she occupies in Tifa's heart, and what weight she has. All analysis and reasoning, if linked to emotion, is like sprinkling ears of wheat into the dirt.

Everything is in chaos.

Hetty used several other methods to examine Sulfona's body. Although the problem is clear, there is no solution to it.

"The demonic power in your body is entangled with each other, as if it were a chaotic world. The demon power on the arms is not subject to the demon power on the thighs, and the demon power on the chest is not subject to the demon power on the back. When facing foreign enemies, these demonic forces go their own way, strengthening their respective parts. "If you need to concentrate all your demonic powers, they will fight, and this will also cause dark injuries on your body." ”

"Assassination?"

"That's right, instead of worrying about whether you can use demonic power, I think you should pay more attention to your body. Hetty said solemnly, "The warrior's recovery ability is abnormal, but that doesn't mean you can destroy yourself at will. I noticed that you have fine cracks in your bones and even in your muscles. Those are some hidden dangers left over from healing. I've had a few wounds in my body that don't heal well, but I don't know how you managed to mess yourself up. ”

"I ...... I don't know......" Sulfura hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "I thought the wounds were healed, so I didn't pay attention." ”

Sulfona made a "cross-legged" pose. Over the years, she had to take this pose to heal more and more wounds. Hetty carefully studied the "secret" of Sulfona, and even probed his demonic energy into Sulfona's body to circulate and flow, but did not understand the principle of "sitting cross-legged". Sulfona says it's a secret taught to her by a warrior senior, but Hetty is skeptical about the rationality of the pose.

"Maybe it's a psychotherapy, like a placebo. "In clinical trials, we would give half of the patients the real drug and the other half salt and sugar water as a control. Patients who drank salt and sugar water thought that they had taken medicine and that their condition might get better under the mental effect. Don't underestimate the power of faith. According to you, the wounds suffered by that warrior were simply incredible. Put myself in their shoes, and I can't guarantee that I won't wake up or die. ”

"But Simona's predecessors still survived, and this method is still effective. Sulfona said, her heart full of trust in Simona.

"Useful is useful, but your body needs to rest now. Hetty shook her head, "You're still young, and you still have a long career as a warrior. I don't want you to end your life prematurely because of your pain. I heard that you have a way to induce negative emotions and suppress pain and break through your own physiological limits? I advise you not to use it. ”

"But if it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to use demonic power, or even sense demons. Sulfona sighed and said, "It's a bad feeling, if I can't use my demonic powers regularly, I can't even figure out if the people around me are demons or humans." ”

"You need to adapt, young fighter. Hetty whispered, "Warriors are anomalous in this world. Ordinary humans actually live in suspicion every day, and maybe the friends who drank together yesterday will be replaced by demons today. They are scared every night, and maybe tomorrow the world will be different. That's how human beings live, and if you don't understand it, it's hard for you to understand human beings. For me, I can't tell the difference between demons either. I felt like a human with a big sword rather than a warrior. ”

"I ...... I never thought about any of that. Sulfur froze for a moment, "But I still need to slay the demons." How often can my body use demonic power?"

"How often?"

Hetty laughed, patted Sulfur on the shoulder, and then held back the laughter.

"No kidding, from now on you should be honest in bed. I'll take care of it for you, and there will be no more tasks in your hands. What you need is a retreat, and you don't need to go out of this watchtower. Hetty looked at Sulfur with silver pupils and said, "Three months from now, honestly recuperate from your injuries, and you can still be saved." ”

When Sulfur returned to the room, Brewster was lying on the bed, and he sat up and said hello. After a few days of recuperation, the wound on his face has healed, but a large scar has been left. Although this scar divided Brewster's face, it looked unexpectedly masculine and much more reliable. His face, which used to be slightly frivolous, now looks more like a knight.

Sulfona smiled at Brewster as well. This house is a ward arranged by Hetty for two people, and someone will bring food to him during the time of three meals. The house was small and had no windows, but the burning oil lamp made the house look bright. The two of them have been lying in bed to recuperate before, and the relationship between them is much closer.

"I didn't expect us to be able to see Master Cook's work before so many people. Brewster said excitedly, his hand touching the nearby wall, the stone bricks fascinated him, "Architecture is art, it is a treasure accumulated by the wisdom and sweat of the workers mixed with time." I'd love to stay here a little longer, maybe I'll be able to stay until the day this watchtower is opened. ”

"Perhaps. Sulfona was not interested, she sat on her bed, looking a little melancholy, "My predecessor said that my body needs to recuperate, so I need to stay here all the time." ”

"Isn't that nice?" Brewster asked, and then he realized that what he had said was a little irresponsible, "No...... I mean, you're in this bad physical condition? By the way, didn't you look for your seniors? It is said that she also has similar physical problems as you, but she still kills countless demons. She is also said to be one of the strongest warriors in existence. ”

"She's not the same as me," Sulfona shook her head, "It's not my body that's worrying, I'm ......"
