Sulfona had left the room earlier, and she was ready to figure out some of her feelings in the middle of the night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The process was dangerous, and the outcome might not be rosy, so Sulfona decided to keep Brewster alive. She cautiously got to her feet, then carried her greatsword behind her back. Because it is already such a tattered skin, there is no need to groom it. Sulfona stretched her hands and feet slightly, and pushed the door open.

As a trainee, Sulfona systematically learned stealth and search techniques. It may seem difficult to find people walking by for hours in a dark corridor, but fortunately there are not many people passing through the corridor, and Sulfura has a more sensitive nose than the average warrior. Sulfona found that her five senses were much more sensitive than those of ordinary people, and this did not seem to be a gift from the half-demon bloodline.

There is always a smell of dust in the body of ordinary workers, there is a smell of sweat on Brewster's body, and there is an indissolvable smell of blood on Herty's body. But these are not the people that Sulfona cares about. What Sulfona was looking for was a sweet and greasy smell of rouge, which was what impressed Palmer the most about her sense of smell. Sulfona didn't understand why a man should rub rouge on herself, but it made it easier for her. Following the remaining scent in the corridor, Sulfona touched a hidden path underground. She had encountered patrolling guards and a worker or two, but Sulfur had climbed lightly onto the top wall of the road. Although Sulfona carried a heavy sword behind her back, no one noticed her.

Sulfona stopped in front of a wooden door. The rouge stopped here for a while and then left. Sulfona crouched down and gently peered through the keyhole. I saw that in the afternoon, the car covered with black cloth that Palmer had brought with him lay quietly in the house, and a guard sat on the table and dozed off. Sulfur nodded knowingly.

There were a few things that made her feel strange. In the afternoon, Hetty took Sulfura on a tour of the watchtower and said that the work was in full swing. Palmer looked suspicious when he came in with the black cloth at this time. Hetty thinks Palmer's assertion is a way to assert her presence, but Sulfona disagrees. It was hard for her to imagine that such a man covered in rouge would personally escort the goods, unless the goods were very important. Now the guards seen through the crack in the door puzzled Sulfur even more. If Palmer's collection were dead, then there was no need for a person to guard it at all.

The guard, who was sitting at the table in a daze, was suddenly awakened by a strange movement outside the door. It sounded like a rat grinding its teeth, and it sounded like someone was making a move. He straightened his hat, picked up the lamp from the table and walked to the door. He wanted to push open the door and take a look, but he didn't expect the door to be lifeless but "ferocious" and swept straight towards his head, and the guard lost consciousness in an instant.

Sulfona made sure that no one knew what she was doing, and walked into the room. She lifted the black cloth covering the car, and then unsurprisingly saw Alik and Helois locked inside. Both men were tied with rope in cages made of wooden fences, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth and they couldn't make a sound. The little girl looked quite energetic, but her clothes were a little dirty. The old knight in armor looked weak, and he leaned against the cage in a daze. Sulfona untied the two of them from all restraints and lay them flat on the ground. The guard had a water jug on his body, and the old knight drank a few sips of water before he could speak.

He ...... It turned out to be him. He was also in the Holy City...... He...... He also wanted to ......"

Sulfona nodded. Alik had only said a few words, but it was enough for her to deduce the whole thing. Hetty had hinted at Sina when she met with Sulfur today, and if Alik and Herois were still not found after so many days, there was little hope of finding them again. For all the places around the holy city are about to be searched. Sulfona had thought that Alik might have been killed, but when she saw Palmer, she had a new idea. Obviously, Hetty, as a saint in the watchtower, can't control the overall situation, so Palmer will make some small moves? The suspicion seemed realistic, but it wasn't clear if Palmer had a motive to do so.

Back in the room, Sulfur once asked Brewster if he was interested in the name Palmer, and got an interesting answer. Brewster also stated that he was unable to smell Alex, as if there was something blocking his sense of smell throughout the watchtower. That's where it gets interesting. If this Palmer was the same noble kid who had robbed Alik's daughter, what would he have done when he found out that Hetty was looking for Alik? He will definitely send his own people to find Alik first and find a way to kill him. Then everything will look like an accident.

The only thing that baffles Sulfura is why Palmer chose to bring Alik back to the watchtower. But if you look at Helois, who is next to Alik, you have the answer. Although Helois was haggard, her divine eyes and calm expression made her different from ordinary children. Staring at her short flaxen hair and slender neck, you can't help but lose your sense of time. It is a mature charm that transcends age, and with her immature face, it gives people a strong contrast.

"It seems that the dog really can't change the ****." Sulfona stretched out her hand and touched the little girl's head and said, "Did you do that back then, and now you have a bad idea on this little child?" ”

Herois didn't shy away from Sulfona's hand, she just snuggled quietly up to Alik's side. Sulfona didn't know if Herois really understood what Palmer was trying to do to her, but she could see that Herois felt that it didn't matter as long as she stayed with Alik. Suddenly, a hint of envy welled up in Sulfona's heart. Her relationship with Tifa used to be like this, except that the two of them broke each other's bond with their own hands.

After resting for a while, Alik poured himself several large amounts of water. His beard was all tangled together, and he looked very embarrassed. Sulfona helped him straighten his armor and patted the old knight on the shoulder.

"It's been a long time, but I don't talk nonsense either. What are you going to do? ”

“…… I need a duel. Alik was silent for a long time, then stared at his swollen red eyes and said, "A duel between me and him." I thought he had been placed in the southern territories by his father, but I didn't expect him to be in the Holy City. ”

"It's not a holy city yet."

"But it's coming. I know their routine. Alik shook his head, "The young aristocrat was debauched, but he suddenly met Master Cook, and then he was enlightened by Master Cook's charisma, and the prodigal son turned back. He left behind all his friends to concentrate on learning from Master Cook, and led a group of men to build the watchtower. In the past few years, he has disappeared from people's sight for his dreams. It wasn't until the project was completed that people got to know him this time. At that time, no one will remember what ugly things he did. The twin goddesses are above, and only an open duel can solve this matter. ”

"But he's unruly, you know." Sulfona shook her head, "Since he can sneak around the edge of the Holy City and find a way to gild himself, then he can make your duel no longer open." You may have to deal with his hordes of guards. ”

Alik listened to Sulfona's words and smiled. It's a smile that hasn't been seen in a long time.

"Then I'll hit his hordes of guards first, and then I'll have an open duel with him."

"Do you need help?"

"No, I don't." Alik said decisively.

"Is this the knight?" Sulfur nodded knowingly.

"No, that's the man." Alik said, touching his beard, "I'll figure out how to get the duel letter to Palmer myself." But I beg you not to tell Brewster about me. The kid had always looked up to me as a model of knighthood, but the next thing I had to do was deal with my personal vendettas. That's not a knight's thing, I don't want him to know. Also, with his character, he will definitely stop me, so I want you to hide it from him. ”

"Okay, I promise you." Sulfona nodded, and she pointed to Helois beside her and asked, "But what about this child?" ”

Alik sighed and crouched down. He refers to his actions as a "duel", but both he and Sulfona understand that it should be called "sending to death". As the bishop's son, Palmer has no shortage of skilled guards around him. On the other hand, although he doesn't like Palmer very much, Hetty probably won't sit idly by and watch Alik kill Palmer. This duel is the equivalent of death for Alik, and he has only the extremely slim possibility of avenging his death.

In this case, of course, you can't take Herois with you. It's just that it's hard to explain all this to this child, and it's even harder for her to accept it.

"Child, you can follow Sister Sulfur now. I still have some important things to do. ”

"Will I never see you again?" Helois asked sensitively.

"I ......" Alik was stunned, he didn't expect Herois to ask such a sharp question at once, he didn't want to lie to Herois, so he could only bite the bullet and continue, "Maybe it's possible." But that's what I have to do. ”

"Then I'll go with you."

"You can't help if you go...... Rather, I'm more likely to succeed if you don't go. Alik said with a wry smile.

"Alex, do you hate me?" Helois asked seriously.

"No, Hellois, I don't hate you. I just ......"

Alik was speechless for a moment, he didn't know what to say. Heliois stared into Alex's eyes, she shook her head suddenly, and then silently walked over to Sulfona's side. Alec froze in place, bewildered, wondering why the girl had given up following him, but it was good news for him. The old knight took his sword with him and said goodbye to Sulfona. Sulfona didn't ask Alik exactly where he was going or what he was going to do after that. She just nodded to Alik.

"I kind of understand why Brewster respects you."

"Thank you." The old knight smiled, "Take care of this child on the day I'm gone." If I don't come back, please put her in a kind family. Don't teach her to hate. Although we have only been together for a short time, I still believe in the character of Greatsword. In fact, I have no one to entrust. ”

"That's nature."
