Chapter Twenty-Four: A Terrible Howl for the Holy City of the Night Sky 7
At dawn, Sulfona flipped through the window back to her bedroom. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info her movements woke Eudora, and the girl rubbed her eyes and sat up. Through the gloomy darkness, Eudora saw a few slight scratches on Sulfona's black clothes, and her face changed.
"Did you do it with someone?"
Sulfona nodded slightly, and she briefly told Eudora about her experience of the night. After listening to this, Eudora was thoughtful.
"The man you're talking about is probably the High Priest. Eudora analyzed, "Agnes' ability to reach her current high position is inseparable from the support of the High Priest's faction. Religious communities in the Holy City hold most of the power. I've always wondered how Agnes managed to maintain her relationship with the Sacrifice, but now I kind of understand it. ”
Sulfona thought for a moment, but felt that it was useless.
"The affairs of demons must not escape the supervision of the high priest, so he must be the one who knows. I think Agnes and the High Priest are suspicious......" said Eudora, "the guard is the best of humanity, but Agnes gave her out to be a toy for the High Priest. This means that Agnes must have a master around him who is stronger than that guard......"
If he can be stronger than Ji Li, he may not be a human anymore. Sulfona, who had fought with Ji Li in person, looked at her, and she already understood what Eudora meant. She decided to solve this problem in the simplest way. Sulfona grabbed the sword at her waist and prepared to rise. She was going to grab Eudorah and the High Priest and ask them all about it.
"Don't be impulsive!" Eudora hurriedly stopped Ji Li, "We can't reveal our half-demon identity. If you don't use inhuman power, you may not be able to beat Ji Li if you go now. Besides, Agnes and the High Priest are important people in the Holy City, and if you miss and hurt them, the Order will have a hard time getting it. ”
Sulfur looked at the "Moon Blade" with a crescent-like arc in her hand, and there was some hesitation in her heart. Now she can catch up with Ji Li's speed, but she is no longer sure that she has beaten Ji Li. The opponent was just in a hurry last night, and his strength was not fully exerted.
"Let's go to the concert first...... Hagrid said that if the deal of the powerful nobles was completed this time, they might help us too. ”
Sulfona grabbed Eudora's hand and wrote on the back of her hand.
"Did you get something from Hagrid?"
"He's quite cunning. At the mention of Hagrid, Eudora's face was a little unnatural, "There is a big gap between him and the nobles I imagined. Not at all elegant, not at all gentlemanly. But it also has something to do with his experience. He was originally just one of the last members of the family, and was fostered in a manor house outside the Holy City to learn how to manage the fields. However, there was a great drought, and the divided manor was attacked by the hungry people. Previously, the hungry people asked the manor to send them some food, but because the number of hungry people was too large, the manor did not agree. Therefore, after the manor was captured, many nobles in the divided family were killed by angry and hungry people. Hagrid was more clever, and he took the lead in cutting down a horse in the stable, dressed as a servant, and then shouted that he could roast horse meat and eat it. Hearing Hagrid's words, the hungry people didn't care about killing, and they all went to grab something to eat. As a result, some of the nobles survived, but Hagrid himself was caught up in the starvation and separated from his family. He was in his early teens at the time, and he lived a life of exile every day by grabbing food with other hungry people. On several occasions he almost died, but fortunately there were well-wishers who rescued him, some gave him a mouthful of water, and some fed him half a piece of dry food. And so he got through with a hard time. After the famine had improved, Hagrid came to the Holy City alone to find the Lord's house. The Lord accepted him, but only on the condition that Hagrid show what he could do. In his wanderings, Hagrid met many, many people. He has been paying attention to observation, so he is not very old, but he has a lot of experience. So he proposed to buy roadside vendors to serve as eyeliner and compile a network of his own. In the end, he succeeded, and finally gained the approval of the lord's family and inherited the title. ”
Eudora gushed a lot, and when she looked up, she saw that Sulfura was looking at her with a strange gaze.
"I'm asking you if you got any information about our mission from him. ”
Eudora blushed, and she realized that she had said a lot of personal information about Hagrid.
"This one...... It should be certain that demons have nothing to do with the powerful aristocracy. Eudora said with some hesitation, "The nobles with real power are basically in business, and they don't have any force. It is said that the first swordsman, Ji Li, can beat all the guards on the side of the nobles with real power by himself. If there were demons on the side of the powerful aristocracy, it wouldn't be like this. Besides, if the demons get out of control, there is no way for the powerful nobles to suppress them. ”
Sulfona nodded. In this case, Agnes, who owns Gilly, is the main suspect in transporting demons to the Holy City, but Sulfona quickly gave up thinking about it, and she thought it would be good to leave this kind of thing to Eudora. Sulfona also has a lot more to tell Eudora, such as the wonderful state she inadvertently enters at night. It was only later that she realized that it might be a precursor to awakening, or that she had partially awakened at the time. Although it seems too quick to awaken after just a few months of becoming a warrior, Sulfur's fusion is quite special and cannot be handled by common sense.
Unlike what is taught by the organization, Sulfona has no paresthesia pleasure or physical abnormalities. She was just mentally affected by the demonic aura and became a little confused. The strangest thing is that Sulfona herself has no thoughts of awakening at all. She wasn't in danger at the time, she was just practicing her sword. Just as people dream when they sleep, everything seems natural.
Another thing that didn't tell Eudora was Tifa's existence. Sulfur still doesn't know why Tifa is in the Holy City, or whether she has anything to do with the demons of the Holy City. And Sulfona's solitary contemplation was understood by Eudora as a daze. Eudora sighed, and went to Hagrid's trouble.
Time passed quietly, and soon the day of the "Flower Banquet" concert arrived. Eudora and Sulfona are approached by Higla and told to dress them up. A few noblewomen, who were nearly middle-aged, were covered with a choking fragrance and looked the two girls up and down, and then pointed at them.
"This one looks clever and has a good figure......
"It's a pity that the one who looks silly is the protagonist today......"
"You can't make that clever girl too pretty, or it won't be good to take over. ”
"Actually, there's no need to worry too much, that stupid girl has good qualifications, and she's also pretty when she dresses up a little. ”
After being tossed for more than an hour, Sulfona and Eudora finally "meet the target". Eudora looked at the plain white evening dress on Sulfona with some jealousy, and she herself wore a more solemn dark purple evening dress. Eudora felt that if she hadn't been able to "dominate the crowd", she could have dressed like Sulfona.
"Does it matter?" said Sulfona, not understanding Eudora's thoughts.
"The white one looks like a wedding dress, and I really want to wear it once!"
"But we can't get married, what's the difference between wearing it and not?"
"I just can't get married, that's why I want to wear it!" Eudora stomped her foot and said, "Because I know that I can't marry someone in my life, and I can't wear a wedding dress, so I yearn for a wedding dress!"
Sulfona looked at Eudora in confusion. Since you can't get married, isn't the wedding dress itself meaningless?
"I'll give you mine?"
"No! I don't want to wear you!" said Eudora, pouting.
"It's borrowed, not mine. ”
"Anyway, it's someone else's, I don't want to wear someone else's. ”
"You're so strange, Eudora......" Sulfura replied with a sigh.
"You're weird!"
The two girls held hands and wrote on each other's palms. Before they knew it, their relationship was already very good. Sulfona remembers the first time she saw Eudora, she was wary and alienated from herself. Time can change a lot, once sulfona and Tifa were inseparable, and now sulfona can't figure out what Tifa is thinking.
Hagrid came from not far away, and he was immediately struck by the beauty of the two girls. They not only have the beauty of youth, but also have an inner detached temperament.
"I was going to remind you to pay attention to etiquette, but it looks like you're doing a good job......" Hagrid said with some embarrassment.
"Of course. Eudorah said angrily that she liked nothing more than to see Hagrid deflated. At the trainee stage, they are specially trained to pretend to be people of any profession and status. Eudora held out her hand slightly, and Hagrid immediately caught up with her, and the two of them walked forward as if they were dancing. Sulfona followed, watching the two of them remain silent.
Naturally, Sulfona and Eudora slipped into the nobles' seats, and they sat near the stage. Speaking of the stage, it is actually just a large open space in front of the VIP seats. There is basically zero distance between the performer and the viewer. But the civilian spectators, who sat far away on the high platform at the back, were piled up in the dark. Eudora had never seen so many people, and she saw humans dense like ants, and she didn't know why she was a little hairy. At this time, Sulfona gently patted her on the shoulder, causing Eudora to shudder.
"What, what's wrong?"
Sulfona pointed to a white-robed man at the front of the aristocratic auditorium, who was bloated, but sat there with an extraordinary bearing. There was also a young girl sitting next to the man, it was Ji Li. Eudora quickly understood what Sulfura meant, and she looked at it and nodded.
"That's right, that man is the High Priest. Looks like you saw something amazing that night. ”
Sulfona thought about it, but she also felt that it was nothing serious. She doesn't care much about anything that has nothing to do with demons and warriors. At this time, Eudora was about to open her mouth, but noticed that the light was gradually dimming. Agnes walked to the front of the stage dressed in her costume.
The concert began.
