Chapter 10 The Short Stick X

Seeing that Tifa had already guessed it, Sulfur had no choice but to nod helplessly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"That big sword has a very bad temper, and I think it's useless for you to beg her. ”

"So, she's really a big sword?" Tifa's eyes lit up at once, "If that's the case, I think maybe it'll be easier." ”

"Why?"

"Because I think that slut might have been made of a demon. "I didn't know what she used to deceive my father, but now I have a clue that she must be a demon." Legend has it that demons have the power to confuse humans. Moreover, there are demons who live for a long time, they are very intelligent, and they are even more top-notch in deceiving people. ”

"Demons are so terrible!"

Sulfona's eyes widened as she listened. She had only heard her mother sometimes mention the legend of demons, and she didn't really know about demons herself. However, Tifa is at least a noble lady, so she naturally knows in more detail.

"The legendary demon eats people, but in fact, it should mainly eat human internal organs. Sometimes they will eat animal offal when they are too hungry to stand it, but demons still prefer to eat human offal. ”

Sulfona suddenly remembered the big sword that ate the guts of the pheasant.

Tifa's voice suddenly became smaller as she spoke, and she whispered as she grabbed Sulfona's ear.

"I once saw dead people near the castle, but their intestines were all taken out. Some of those people were strangers, some were slaves, and some were criminals who had made mistakes. I watched as the servants in the castle buried the eviscerated dead in the cemetery. ”

"You mean ......"

"There must be a cunning demon lurking in our house. That slut must be a demon. My father was deceived by her rhetoric and did not ask about the affairs of the territory. She covered the sky with one hand, and took advantage of the power of the lord's wife to find someone to eat! But I didn't expect this matter to be discovered by me, so she wanted to get rid of me in every possible way. Tifa gritted her teeth, "Sulfona, I beg you, help me!"

Sulfona was originally weak, but now that she has been persuaded like this by Tifa for a long time, her heart is not so firm.

"I, if I bring you here, Sister Dajian will be very angry. "She doesn't seem to like this very much......

"It's okay, you don't have to take me there. Tifa rubbed the corner of his clothes and thought for a long time and said, "I've heard that many big swords are half-human and half-demons, and they hate demons and don't like humans. Besides, if I had passed, wouldn't she have known that you had told someone about her? You are more familiar with her, and it might be better for you to come. Listen to me...... You'll go look for her later, and when you find her, you'll get close to her first......"

"How close?" asked Sulfona, touching her head.

"Don't you usually say something?" said Tifa, stunned for a moment.

"Chatting? I don't seem to talk much, Sister Dajian doesn't like to talk much. ”

Sulfur thought about it, and there didn't seem to be any communication between herself and Dajian. Greatsword is always sneering when he speaks, and Sulfur doesn't talk to Sulfur very often. She didn't even know what Sister Greatsword's name was, and Sister Greatsword didn't seem to know her name. However, Sulfona's own circle was very small, and she didn't want to know a lot of things like Tifa. The only ones she is more familiar with are her parents, Tifa and Sister Greatsword. Most of the conversation between Sulfur and Greatsword's sister is also Greatsword talking ill of Tifa, and Sulfur is making things easier for Tifa - this part of course can't be told to Tifa.

"So, won't she usually teach you how to chop wood?"

"The house is almost finished, so I don't have to teach those weird postures. Sulfur said.

"Keep learning from her, fool!" Tifa tapped Sulfona on the head, "I don't know what you're doing here." That's a big sword, and their tricks are not something that ordinary people can use. She's willing to teach you, and if you learn a few tricks, you might be able to become a knight in the future. After becoming a knight, if you can still make a contribution to the monarchy, you can become a lord. That's how our family got started......"

"Will I be able to eat as many delicious things as you did?" said Sulfona, and the first thing that came to her mind was food.

"Fool, you can eat whatever you want at that time. But that's not the point, the point is that you are the ruler, you have your own territory, you have your own people. You don't have to work, you can live well just by relying on supplies and taxes. After you become a lord, no one dares to mess with you. It's because of so many benefits that that slut has to wait for the lord's wife at all costs......"

"Then I'll let Sister Dajian teach me now!"

Sulfur was suddenly eager to try, and Tifa hurriedly grabbed Sulfur next to her.

"Fool, don't be so anxious. You first tell Dajian that you can only chop wood and sometimes feel scared, and you want to learn how to deal with demons. The Great Sword will ask you why you want to deal with demons. Say that you found a corpse near the castle, so that Greatsword might teach you a trick and a half to defend yourself, and she will also help us deal with the demons in the castle. It's a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone. ”

"You're amazing......! Tifa!" Sulfura said happily, but halfway through her words, she didn't know what to call Tifa.

"Fool...... It's not a good idea......" Tifa scolded softly, and her face couldn't tell whether she was angry or happy, "You can call me Mary when no one is around, that's what my mother always called me." ”

The two men talked for a while, and Tifa smiled much more happily than usual. Sulfona looked at Tifa and giggled herself. It had been a long time since she had seen Tifa's smile. Sulfona wondered how Gregory had been so bewitched by the demon that he would be so cruel to a girl as cute as Tifa. And what kind of brainwashing did her father endure, so he didn't care about Tifa. Before you know it, the sun has climbed to the horizon and the sky is dark. Sulfona was blown by the evening breeze, and then she remembered that it was a little late. Normally, she would have gone to Dajian at this time. She hurriedly said goodbye to Tifa and ran to a cabin in the woods.

Skirting the trees, Sulfur found that the Great Sword was not sitting in the house, but standing in the afterglow of the setting sun with the sword in his hand. Sulfona was a little surprised in her heart, this house was finally built, but Dajian didn't live in it. She was injured but healed so quickly, didn't there was no point in working hard to build a house? Dajian had already heard the sound of Sulfur running over, she glanced at the expression on Sulfur's face, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

Sulfona instinctively felt that today's greatsword was different from the previous one.

"I'm sorry! I'm late!" Seeing that Dajian was a little upset, Sulfura quickly apologized.

"It's no morning or night, and I haven't made an appointment with you. You and that little girl can play casually. ”

As she spoke, the big sword suddenly waved the sword in her hand, and Sulfur only felt a flash of silver light in front of her, and a whistling came out of the air. The whistling sound traveled through the trees, swirling, resonating, and carrying with it countless winds. All of a sudden, the whole grove was whining and the leaves were flying.

"It's okay to be late, but don't come with a little tail next time. ”

Sulfur was stunned for a moment, and she quickly looked back. He guessed that maybe Tifa couldn't resist his curiosity and secretly followed. But before Sulfona said that she wanted to bring her, Tifa clearly refused. It occurred to Sulfur that perhaps Gregory and his two mercenaries had crept over again. Although Sulfur stunned the two mercenaries away, it was not clear that these bad guys would make some small moves.

"Don't look at it, it's gone. ”

Seeing the appearance of Sulfur probing her brain, the big sword said coldly, and then stopped speaking. For a moment, the woods were eerily quiet. Sulfona stood with her head bowed as if she had done something wrong, she wanted to speak to break the dull atmosphere, and hesitated to speak a few times, but she couldn't say anything. Sulfona was an honest person and had never lied, but now she only felt like she had a fever on her face, and her mind was not clear.

"What do you want to say, hurry up. Greatsword suddenly spoke, "I didn't say something clearly a long time ago, and I regret it until now. So now, no matter what, I'm going to listen to what others have to say first. Say it......"

If Sulfur was amnesty, she hurriedly racked her brains to figure out how to tell Tifa's confession.

"I ...... During this time, I have learned, learned to chop wood. But I, I, you, I, I can chop wood and sometimes feel scared, and I want to learn how to deal with demons......"

After Sulfona finished speaking, she peeked at the big sword. I saw that the face of the big sword was hidden in the shadow of the setting sun, and I couldn't see what the expression was. Sulfur thought about Tifa's instructions again, and now, according to Tifa, Greatsword should ask Sulfura "why do you think about dealing with demons". But now that the big sword was silent, Sulfur didn't know how to continue. After a long time, Sulfur decided to continue.

"You...... No, I'll just say that I found a corpse near the castle, a corpse, a corpse with hollowed out of its internal organs. The internal organs are hollowed out, it must be a demon, so, so ......"

In the middle of speaking, Greatsword suddenly raised her head, and her eyes swept around Sulfona like a sword, and Sulfur didn't shudder.

"How many are there?"

"Huh?"

"I ask you, how many corpses did you see?"

"Ah...... Probably ......," Sulfona thought for a moment, but couldn't remember how many corpses Tifa had said she had seen, "about a dozen or so." They all look like sinners or prisoners. ”

"So many, how many people are buried?"

"Three, three, four. ”

"Do you know those people?"

"Those people ......" Sulfura thought for a moment, she remembered what Tifa had said earlier, "Ah, by the way, those people are supposed to be servants in the castle, so there must be demons hidden in the castle!"

Greatsword sighed.

"Silly boy, have you ever been in this lord's castle?"

"I didn't ...... No ......" Sulfura shook her head.

"Then how do you know that they are the servants of the castle?" continued Greatsword, "there are twelve male servants and fifteen female servants in this castle, and two who are in charge of purchasing, and are not usually in the castle. I can probably recognize the appearance of these people, tell me, what do the servants you see look like?"

After hearing this, Sulfona was immediately blindsided. She hadn't expected Greatsword to know so much about the things in the castle, and now it was like she couldn't get away with it if she wanted to say something. Sulfona thought about it for a long time, and suddenly came up with a good idea.

"What I see is...... A man with a hat, a tall, thin man, and another with a large scar on his face......"

"I see. ”

Greatsword nodded thoughtfully. Seeing her like this, Sulfura couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"This, right?"

"How do you know about me?" Greatsword smiled, "I don't know what the people in the castle look like, and I haven't seen them either." ”
