In the afternoon, a scream shattered the peace of the town. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A vendor dressed in brown linen was decapitated, and his headless body fell onto the stone pavement. The middle-aged woman, who had been haggling with the vendor before, let out an unformed scream, and a dead head rolled down at her feet, and purple blood splattered to the corner of the woman's mouth. She looked at the man in black opposite in horror, and the other party was the murderer.

People were shocked by this tragedy in broad daylight, and cowardly rolled into their own houses, not daring to open the windows to look out. Some young people in the prime of life hurriedly ran back to get their weapons and prepared to gather a crowd to subdue the murderer. There was no one else within a twenty-meter radius of the man in black, only a few yellow-haired watchdogs barking at the man in black.

By the time the village chief arrived tremblingly with a militiaman armed with a spear, the man in black had already taken off his black coat. The girl with a double ponytail holding a large sword, the snowy blade shining coldly in the sunlight, was none other than Sulfona. The village chief looked at the purple blood on the ground and suddenly understood.

"Blonde, silver-eyed......" The village chief hurriedly walked over and saluted Sulfona, "You're finally here, Miss Greatsword." Will I give you the money now? ”

Sulfona pulled out a note from her pocket, which was an explanation of how to receive money. The village chief took it and looked at it, and nodded.

"Is it for the man in black who came later? Miss Dajian can't speak, it's really hard. The village chief bowed deeply, "Thank you for killing the demon and protecting this village." ”

Although the village chief said this, the villagers behind him still glared at Sulfur with wary eyes. The tip of the spear does not leave the opponent's chest. Sulfona frowned, the tip of her sword raised slightly, looking around.

“……”

Beads of sweat appeared on the faces of the villagers. The knuckles of their fingers holding the spears turned white, and their bodies trembled involuntarily. Sulfona sighed, knowing that these people had misunderstood her. She didn't care about the reaction of the villagers, she just noticed that there was something wrong with the number of demons. This village reported three demons, but unfortunately only one was found here.

This is not the first time. While on missions in this area, Sulfona often found that the number of demons was incorrect. And there's always a lot of demons missing somehow.

Looking at the villagers who seemed to be facing a great enemy, Sulfur sighed and withdrew her sword. She disappeared from sight in a few leaps. But she didn't go far, she circled the village from a distance, and finally stopped at the main road leading to the village, and carefully examined the ruts on the ground.

There is a demonic smell on the ruts.

It's a strange thing. Since there is the breath of a demon on the rut, then it must be that the rut is stained with the blood of the demon. However, the wheel is not a murder weapon, and normally human blood should not be stained. And the demon naturally does not take the initiative to smear blood on the wheels. The only possibility is that the demon riding in the carriage was injured.

However, the fact that the demon was injured was a little strange in itself. Because the demon's recovery power is very strong, ordinary wounds can heal in just a few minutes. If you weren't in a hurry, the demon could have waited until the wound had healed before taking the carriage. Sulfura has some speculation about this. It may be that the demon got the news that the big sword was coming in advance, so he didn't care about being injured and fled directly. However, Sulfona herself was also notified half a day ago, how did the demon know that the big sword was coming? And what can a demon be hurt?

"Did you find anything?"

Luru didn't know when he came to Sulfona. Sulfur couldn't grasp the other party's traces every time, which made her a little wary of Lulu. Sulfur explained her findings and guesses to Lulu, who pondered for a moment and nodded.

"It seems that the above guess is not wrong. The Holy City is indeed doing dishonorable things. ”

Sulfona looked at Luru in confusion, she didn't know what this matter had to do with the Holy City. She wasn't surprised, though, because there were a lot of smarter people in the organization than her. Sulfona herself has a guess, and the people above should also have an answer.

"We'll talk about that later." Lu Lu clapped his hands, and a young girl walked over from the woods not far away, "It's better to let old friends meet first." ”

It was Eudora. Eudora looks a lot more mature than she did a month ago, and the life of a warrior has made her calm. Sulfona was also a little happy to see Eudora, but she quickly thought of a possibility, and her heart was cold.

"Don't worry, we're not going to crusade against Tifa." Eudora and Sulfona were also familiar with each other, and she could guess Sulfona's thoughts by looking at her expressions, so she quickly explained, "We are on a special mission for the organization. ”

"That's right, the organization is basically in a laissez-faire state for Tifa." Lu Lu explained, "First of all, she has a very low ranking and low combat effectiveness, so she is not a threat to us. In addition, she has been very low-key since she defected, and she has not committed acts of cruelty and murder, so the organization also believes that she is not harmful. And the organization also knows Tifa's exact location, but for some very complicated reasons, it is not in a hurry to go on a crusade. All in all, you don't have to think too much. ”

Sulfona nodded.

"Now there's a special assignment for the two of you." "The organization received a report from an informant in the Holy City that they had found the traces of demons in the Holy City. The evidence in the report was very substantial, but there was no news of any unnatural deaths in the Holy City. Furthermore, the holy city of Rapoll claims to be insulated from all inhumans, including demons and great swords. They have an extremely strict inspection system for those who enter the city, and they have never heard of a demon infiltrating before. So the organization is skeptical about it. ”

However, Sulfur later discovered the mysterious disappearance of demons during her mission, which may be the source of the demons that appeared in the Holy City. So there was a suspicion in the organization that the people inside the Holy City might be secretly transporting demons into the city. Even in a complete inspection system, it can't stop the guards from stealing. So the organization needs a few fighters to investigate this matter. ”

"But why did the people of the Holy City bring demons in?" Eudorah asked, "Didn't they lure the wolf in?" ”

"I was strange at first, but now that I've listened to Sulfona's report, I understand a little." Lu Lu pointed to the rut on the ground, "It's not an accident that the wheels are stained with demon blood, the real situation should be that the demons in the car are bleeding more than once." The only way to make the demon bleed is to keep cutting the demon and make it heal. Cut again, heal again. ”

Although Lulu was talking about demons, this cruel act made both warriors frown.

"This is done to keep the demon weak, so that the demon is a beast of prey, but a cat." "But we don't know exactly what they're going to do with the demons, so it's up to the two of you to infiltrate the Holy City and investigate this matter. The reason why I chose the two of you is because the high-end combat power of the organization is inseparable, and most of the people in the Holy City are human, and there is nothing to threaten your safety. The most important thing is that both of you seem to be able to play music. ”

Sulfona looked at Luru in surprise, she didn't understand what it had to do with music.

"In fact, the smuggling of demons into the Holy City must have been tacitly approved by the nobles of the Holy City. Or rather, they may be the masterminds. You two need to find a way to get close to those nobles. It's a pity that the organization doesn't have much access to the nobility of the Holy City, so you can only rely on yourself. The best thing to do is to mix in with the concerts held by the aristocracy. ”

"That's right. In a month's time, a grand concert will be held in the Holy City. When the time comes, all the people with heads and faces will participate, and this is a good opportunity for us. Eudora said to Sulfona, "You've probably heard of the main character of the concert, her name is Agnes. ”

Sulfona thought for a moment, and then turned the name out of the depths of her memory. It was the eldest disciple of her music teacher, the old man Wo Hua, who was said to be a celebrity in the Holy City. However, later there was a conflict between the old man Wohua and her, so Wohua chose to self-exile. Wowa once said that if Sulfur had gone to the Holy City, she might have met Agnes. It's just that Sulfona didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

However, Sulfona's expression soon cooled again. Now that she has no tongue, she can't sing anymore.

"Don't worry too much about that." Eudora walked over and took Larina's hand, which was already a rare intimacy for Eudora, "You see I don't know music, but I was found because I could dance." ”

"That's right, the people above are all big and coarse, they probably think that singing and dancing are the same." Lulu shrugged, "All in all, you two are the ones the organization thinks are the best fit to complete the task. In order to avoid the inspection of the Holy City, you are not allowed to carry a great sword, and you will take a secret medicine to suppress demonic power. After taking the secret medicine, your hair will return to its original color, and at the same time, you will lose the ability to liberate and sense demonic energy. Even if the demons are standing next to you, you may not be able to find out. ”

Sulfona nodded in understanding. She understood the organization's purpose in choosing the two of them. A greatsword that has lost its demonic sense is like a blind lion. If you don't succeed in blending in with the nobility, it will be difficult to complete the task of investigating. Sulfona thought for a moment, then took the flute out of her pocket and tried to blow it for a short while.

Loulu smacked his tongue as he listened.

"It's a bit of a taste, you can hear an ancient charm...... But I'm not very skilled. ”

She was surprised that Lu Lu could understand her own music, and it seemed that Lu Lu's musical accomplishment was quite good. Surprised, Sulfur nodded. She had not been practicing the flute for long, and now she has only reached a satisfactory level. However, there is still some distance to reach the Holy City, and Sulfur can practice in between.
