Chapter 37: Crusade Mission 5
Early the next morning, a slightly cold wind woke the warriors up. The weather has cleared www.biquge.info, but the muddy ground still remembers last night's rainstorm. After the soldiers simply sorted out their equipment, they hastily ate the dry food they wore on their bodies. Sulfona sat alone on the floor, sluggishly shoving food into her mouth. The feeling of hunger made Sulfona feel a lot better, but she was ashamed of her constitution. After a long evasion, she was finally awakened by Agatha and realized what kind of mistake she had made.
Sulfona felt that she should not forget this mistake again.
The other fighters were keeping a distance from Sulfona, they didn't know what had happened yesterday. They weren't familiar with Sulfona in the first place, so they would remain silent until Sulfona took the initiative to do something. Klossie carefully kept her distance from Sulfona, fearing that her blind approach to Sulfur would have the opposite effect. However, the interaction between the two people is not completely absent. Having lost a hair accessory, Sulfura changed her double ponytail hairstyle for the first time, deciding to tie a high ponytail with the only hairband she had, which would also make it easier to fight. Unfortunately, she couldn't tie it up several times, so Klossie naturally sat down behind Sulfura and helped her fix her hair.
"Your hair is so beautiful...... "Klossie whispered as she stroked Sulfona's hair, and she suddenly realized that the warriors' hair was forcibly converted to blonde, so there were many warriors who didn't like their hair, "Ah, your original hair must be better." β
Sulfona touched her ponytail and shook her head a little unaccustomedly. She turned her head and stared at Klossie silently, she didn't understand why Klossie cared so much about herself. Sulfona considered herself to be of average size, average appearance, and mute, with no place to attract Klossie.
"All the fighters are a family!"
As if to see Sulfona's question, Klossie said with a smile. She said, touching Sulfona's hair.
"I didn't know who my parents were since I was born. My sister, a nun who believed in the Twin Goddesses, met me on the street, and I was raised by her in a convent. There, there are a lot of girls like me. The location of the monastery was remote, and we had to go far to fetch water and wash clothes, but everyone had a good time. My wish was to grow up quickly, become a nun, and then go to the streets of the city to adopt children like me. Our families will get bigger and happier. So when I'm fine, I often run around the city far away. Sister Sister Nun scolded me many times, but I still stubbornly went. When I walk down the street and see someone in need, I do what I can to help them. However, I have been deceived many times, and some rough people will also take their anger on me after their lives are not going well. If it weren't for Sister Nun's ability to arrive in time every time, I would be in big trouble. But at that time, I seemed to be obsessed, and it was uncomfortable not to go around the city a few times a day. And then, one day I went to the city again, and I played late that day and went back......"
At this point, Klossie paused. Sulfona had a hunch that the story must not end well, and that all the warriors had a sad past. So Sulfona lowered her head, avoiding Klossi's gaze.
"When I got back, everyone was gone. Some big sisters in strange costumes came over and asked me if I had a place to go. Then I realized that a hungry demon had rushed over and destroyed the entire monastery. The demon was so terrible that he killed people when he saw them, and his corpses were scattered all over the ground. Some people look very peaceful, as if they are sleeping, but there is a recessed piece in the back of their head. Some of the children's bodies were twisted into strange shapes, and I couldn't imagine that human bodies could become like that. Then, adopted my sister nun, whose head was missing. Obviously, the clothes on his body are well dressed, and the rest of the body is intact, but only the head is missing...... That's weird, isn't it...... Why did I just go out once and everyone was gone?"
As she spoke, Klossie tilted her head in confusion as if she really thought it was strange. If she hadn't listened to her, her expression would have been cute. Sulfona could only stare at the ground, she didn't know how to respond. Truth be told, Sulfona had never had a family relationship, and he couldn't understand the feelings between Klossie and those orphans. It's great that Sulfona feels like she can't speak for the first time.
"Fortunately, I came to the organization and saw everyone again. Although everyone has changed their names and looks different, I know that everyone is still everyone. I can read the atmosphere in the air, I can feel the smell. All fighters are family, and I don't want to lose any of them. Especially watching everyone disappear and not doing anything...... I definitely don't want to ...... anything like that."
Klossie's face was filled with a happy smile, but her words were distorted and crazy. Sulfona didn't know why she had transferred her feelings for the orphans in the convent to the warriors, but she knew that if Klossie didn't, she would be broken. In this way, Sulfona can also understand her extreme words and actions to some extent. Although Klossie didn't say it, she must have felt guilty that she had survived the convent, and that under the pressure of this guilt and guilt, people could easily become deformed.
"I've never said that to anyone before. I always feel that if I talk to others, they will say something bad in response to me. But Sulfona is different, Sulfona doesn't say those bad things, because Sulfona is a good boy. Actually, after the fusion ceremony, I wanted to talk to you, but everyone quickly went their separate ways, and there was no time at all. So it's great to be part of this crusade!"
Sulfona responded to Klossie with her usual silence. Klossie herself should have discovered her own abnormality, so she was reluctant to talk about her past with others. But if you hold it for too long, you also need someone to talk to. "Silent Sulfona" is not intended to be the best object. After Sulfona understood the reason why the other party was close to her, she had mixed emotions. It doesn't feel good to be taken advantage of, but Sulfona wants to hug Kloss in some way. At the same time, he also developed a certain amount of pity for Klossie, although Sulfur felt that she did not have the right and position to pity others.
Time slipped by quietly, and after Klossie finished talking about herself, she looked out the window with a quiet expression as if she had liberated something. Isabel and Martha gossiped.
"I heard that the southern lords are going to have a meeting......"
"Lord, human lord?" Martha thought for a moment, "I always felt like the lord was in a constant meeting. I'm not familiar with the human lords, though. β
"Haha, I'm not familiar with it either. I just heard people on the road say that. It seems that they are dissatisfied with the holy city, so they have to get together for a meeting to discuss. I really don't understand why there are always strange contradictions among human beings for no reason. β
"But...... It's not just humans......" Martha looked at Agatha and Sulfona pointedly, and Isabel immediately stopped talking. This kind of thing can no longer be discussed.
Taking advantage of the silence, Agatha stood up, her equipment colliding with each other with a crisp sound.
"Let's go, we should have fought yesterday, we have delayed too much time. β
Ivy listened to Agatha's words and immediately stood up. The other warriors also got up, and the twists and turns of the crusade were finally about to begin. With their own thoughts, the warriors walked out of the ruined village and headed deeper into the jungle. Halfway through, Sulfona suddenly stopped. She pricked up her ears in alarm and looked around.
"What's wrong?" asked Klossie with concern.
Sulfona frowned, she felt someone watching her. The feeling was similar to being watched while practicing swords in the Holy City. A frightening conjecture poured out involuntarily - could it be that the man had been following Sulfura since the Holy City?
The feeling of being watched flashed, and Sulfona shook her head to sober herself up. Maybe it's just an illusion of oneself, and even the memories of the Holy City may be fake. Klossie walked in and patted Sulfona on the shoulder, who looked at her to indicate that she was fine. Agatha saw the small interaction between Kloss and Sulfona, and felt like she had been stabbed in the heart.
"Get serious, we're almost at the site of the crusade!"
"I'm sorry, Sister Agatha, we're going to get serious!"
Klossi's tone sounded cute like a soldier reporting to his superiors, but now Agatha couldn't laugh. She felt that she was further away from Klossie. In fact, as long as she confessed her feelings to Klossie, she thought that Klossie, who was a family of warriors, would definitely accept Agatha. But Agatha herself did not want to do this.
It is an act of faux pas that is not allowed by pride and reserve.
The warriors walked silently to the location marked on the map, and the strong demonic aura stimulated the nerves of the warriors. The Anomalous Appetite stood in front of the warriors with a stinging sting, his golden pupils glowing with a grim light. The warriors who saw the appearance of the abnormal appetite all held their breath, it was even more vicious than they had imagined. The tall body was almost three times the height of a warrior, and was covered with bulging muscles and hardened cuticles, as if it were clad in armor. The other party's head has fish-like fins and gills, and the gills are still fanning, and it looks extremely disgusting. The gaping mouth had brush-like teethβso many teeth that one wondered what it was for. The most striking thing is that there are three pairs of ugly arms on the sides of the opponent's body.
The strange smell of fishy smell coming from the anomalous appetite is disgusting in the jungle wind.
"Spread out!I, Sulfona and I are avant-garde, and the rest of us are waiting for the opportunity to attack from behind!" Agatha, who has had many crusades, was the first to calm down, "Abnormal appetites are not the same as demons, they are larger, and they are more ferocious. No matter what the other person looks like, be careful!"
The person who answered her words was not a warrior, but an anomalous appetite who Agatha considered a monster.
"This is a lovely junior...... Do you have any complaints about the way we look?" the hoarse voice sounded weird, but it was human language. Even Agatha was surprised.
"Can you speak?"
"Shouldn't I be able to speak?"
"But the ones I've encountered before only make beast-like roars......"
Agatha was a little frightened, the anomalous appetites she had defeated in the past were all awakened people whose souls had been devoured by demon flesh and blood. They have lost their minds, even the ability to speak. Of course, such awakened people will not be very strong, and in the eyes of other sane awakened people, they are just beasts. Hearing Agatha's words, the anomalous appetite laughed. Agatha could barely make out the smile only by the cracked corners of the other's mouth.
"That's different...... You must be surprised by the way I look. But I think it's good, this pair of arms is Dad's, this pair of arms is Mom's. So that our family will be together forever......"
The monster waved its arms and said something that didn't match the preface, and Agatha couldn't help but show a look of disgust.
"Don't be like this, one day you'll become like me, cute junior......"
"I'm not your junior!, do you have a problem with your brain?" retorted Agatha sharply, "you talking monster!"
Although Agatha's words were harsh, her momentum was overpowered. At this time, it was Klossie who saved Agatha.
"It's great to be able to talk!," said Klossie, as happily as from the bottom of her heart.
The anomalous appetite looked at Kloss in surprise.
"If you can't speak, can't you repent? It's so pitiful to die without repenting. Klossie smiled brightly, "I'm also half a nun, just tell me if you have anything to repent...... For example, did you kill the people in that village?"
