Chapter 18: Winners and Losers
When Monia came to her senses, she was already on the sickbed of the Church of the Goddess in Mecarona, with white sheets, white ceilings and white walls, and only pure white colors remained in the empty little room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoSeeing this scene, the little girl couldn't help but think of the complaints of many players after the rebirth of the Goddess Church in the game - how much this goddess sister likes white!
Yes, Sister Goddess. As one of the most powerful gods in the Shinshin line, the goddess of light, Esty is represented as a childlike girl holding a golden bird. Legend has it that she is twins with Vesta who presides over the night, but this dark goddess seems to exist only in the darkness forever, and no matter how much the player digs up her information, no clue can be found.
Some conspiracy theorists believe that the disappearance of the Goddess of Darkness is closely related to the Goddess of Light, and is the result of an internal struggle between the new gods and goddesses after they have completely consolidated their dominance over the continent of Aarons. But the little mage who was reborn in the war between the new gods and the old gods had just come to an end knew that this was not the truth.
As early as the time when the new gods came to this world from outside the unknowable, the goddess of darkness was left with nothing but ethereal legends, which were only occasionally mentioned in the canon of the major gods. At this time, the new gods had just gained a foothold in this new world, and they were facing the threat of the absolute ruler of the continent's faith.
Therefore, it is likely that the goddess of the night did not come to this continent with the new gods.
With the puzzles of her past life in her head, Monia didn't worry too much about the outcome of the duel. From her awakening in the hospital room of the Church of the Goddess, she knew that the duel had not ended beyond her expectations - if she failed, she would wake up not to this familiar pure white landscape, but to a filthy cage.
The only concern is the safety of my friends, but it's not too serious. Eronica and Vina are both the kind of people with hard backgrounds, and at the beginning of the Age of Chaos, the protective umbrella of status was still a deterrent. As for Old Fez, Monia doesn't think the experienced one will fall here.
Monia, who had calmed down, tried to get up, but the injury on her back had not yet fully healed, and there was a dull pain in her back as soon as she moved. After sighing, she gave up her plan to get up and go to Aronica and them, and could only silently search for the goddess carving in the room.
Goddess Estie is a petite girl with white hair and pale eyes, who likes white dresses and princess dresses, so it is a lot of work to find her carvings in the pure white church, but this is all Monia can do now.
Fortunately, this boredom did not last long, and the door was pushed open.
"Monia, are you awake?" What catches my eye is a tear-stained face, and it's Eronica. The mercenary girl took the little girl into her arms when she didn't react to the chain reaction: "Scared us to death, when we saw you lying in a pool of blood, we almost thought we would never see you again!" ”
"Yes." Monia, who was hugged into her arms, nodded with difficulty, and then said, "Aini-chan, can you loosen it up a little, there is still a little pain in my back." ”
After Aronika let go, the little girl saw a room full of people. Seeing her questioning eyes, the mercenary girl explained: "Little Monia, you have been in a coma for a day, everyone is worried about you, I heard that the priest said that you will wake up at this time, and it is best not to be disturbed before, so we are all waiting outside." ”
"Well, everyone......"
Monia looked at everyone with a tired face, her eyes couldn't help but moisten, and tears welled up uncontrollably.
"Still, little Monia." Wei Na stretched out a finger and shook it in front of the little mage and said, "This is the only time, not the next time, if you don't take yourself seriously next time, I won't wait for you like this again." You must know that lack of sleep is the natural enemy of beautiful girls. ”
"Don't listen to Weina, she cares about you." Old Firth added to the side, "When I first heard that you had fallen in a pool of blood, the first person to react and inform the Pure White Church was Weina, and her face was full of anxiety. ”
"Really, uncle." The girl squinted, "Can you not raise the bar with me?" It's super annoying. ”
Tsundere......
Monia smiled, but was interrupted. Eronica patted her cheek and said, "Little Monia, don't be so careless, everyone is worried about you. When I saw you lying alone in a pool of blood, you didn't know how much I blamed myself. Monia, promise me, okay? Promise me never to put yourself in danger again, next time, next time, maybe not so good luck. ”
Something was dripping on her face, Monia looked up, and two tear streaks hung down from the girl's eyelids, dripping on her face, and also dripping on her heart. Inexplicably, her heart softened, she nodded, and said a lie that even she didn't believe: "I promise you, I won't put myself in danger." ”
However, the tears of the girl who should have been strong did not stop and still flowed. Monia looked at the crying girl, couldn't help but hug her, felt her warmth, and gently patted her spine: "Don't worry, Aini, I promise you, I will always live well." ”
"I'm so envious." It was Wei Na who interrupted the hug between the two, and the tsundere girl pouted, "Little Monia is so cute, I want to hug too!" Aini! You can't monopolize our Monia alone, Monia belongs to everyone, to all the members! ”
"Huh?"
"Hug~"
The little mage nodded subconsciously, and then was surrounded by the girl, rubbing his cheeks against his cheeks, and retreated. After hesitating for a while, Wei Na spoke: "Little Monia, can I discuss something with you, let's sleep together from tomorrow~!" ”
"That's not going to work, at least wait until Monia recovers." The little girl who blushed and didn't even know what to say replied was Eronica, I don't know why Monia felt that this girl who supported the entire mercenary group seemed to breathe a sigh of relief?
It must be a delusion, right?
However, if you live with Weina...... She glanced at the girl's breasts, it should be fine, right?
Presumably.
"Little Monia," the girl who had been glanced at her, "I just felt a very subtle ......malice," and everyone in the small room burst into laughter, leaving the girl alone stomping her feet in anger.
What a noisy day.
Looking at the noisy crowd, Monia sighed.
However, it doesn't feel bad either.
And on the other side, in some dirty, unknown tavern.
The chubby proprietress looked worriedly at the man who was drinking alone in the corner, this man had come here yesterday to buy drunk, but he hadn't even stopped a glass since yesterday's dusk, just huddled in the corner and filled himself with a drink.
Originally, as the owner of a sluggish bar, the proprietress naturally hoped that the more drunk the guests, the better, but she really couldn't bear to watch the guests be depressed, and she couldn't bear to let the guests torture themselves because of the setbacks in life, and even left hidden dangers for their bodies.
Just as he was about to stop it, the door opened.
"Welcome......" She subconsciously wanted to greet the guests, but she was too surprised to speak.
Pushing open the door was a terrifying-looking orc, and behind it were nearly ten burly men.
Don't...... Do you want to smash the field?
Just when the proprietress was unspeakably worried, thinking about whether she had offended someone recently, the orc led by her grinned at her: "Don't worry, we have no malicious intentions, we just want to talk to that person." ”
The proprietress felt a little relieved, but then became nervous again: "This ...... Yes, this gentleman. She organized the wording, "We are near the tavern is the police station in Dongcheng District, and I hope nothing unpleasant will happen, which will not be good for everyone." ”
I can't really speak...... I can't really speak...... Isn't that a threat? I'm finished!
The chubby proprietress groaned in the bottom of her heart.
To her surprise, the orcs were not as unreasonable as they were rumored, and he nodded, "I understand." Don't worry, I'm just talking to him about something, and it won't cause any bad effects. ”
The orc smiled good-naturedly, then walked past her to the drunken man huddled in the corner, and shouted, "Izaka! ”
This sound was very loud, and the proprietress who was already a little soft-footed was startled by this sound and fell to the ground all of a sudden. But the alcoholic man didn't react at all, just drank the contents of the cup himself.
"Izhaka!" The orc snatched the wine glass, looked at the dazed man, poured the wine in his face, pulled his neckline, and shook it violently, "You sober me up!" ”
Then there was silence.
After a long while, the drunken man spoke: "I am more sober than I have ever been, Monghu!" ”
Then he said: "It's all over, we don't have anything left, the boss has decided to revoke the 'Glory Light' number, and from tomorrow we will be removed." We don't have anything left, ten years, everything that's been created in ten years......"
However, he was responded with powerful punches that knocked him flying and slamming him into the wall.
"**Give me a little sober!" The orc lifted the man who was curled up on the ground by the collar, "The Izhaka I know is not such a self-pitying waste after defeat! Izzarka, if it's a man, stand up for myself! ”
It throws men to the ground like garbage!
"But what am I going to stand up with now?" The man on the ground responded, "I'm sorry for everyone, I made everyone lose their home, lose their glory, and lose everything, so what qualifications do I have to stand up!" ”
"If you lose it, take it back with your own hands!" The orc said, and the proprietress suddenly felt that the image of the orc was taller, "Since you think it's your reason, then stand up and shoulder your responsibilities, don't waste time here!" ”
"But...... We don't have anything now. ”
"Didn't we go from nothing to the top?" The orc asked rhetorically, and his gaze fell behind him, falling on the mercenary behind him, "What's more, we don't have nothing, we still have partners, and we have companions who can entrust our lives, isn't this much superior to our original conditions!" ”
The man on the ground followed the orc's gaze, saw the firm gaze of the man behind the orc, sighed, got up from the ground in embarrassment, and laughed to himself: "Yes, I still have you, I still have you." His eyes almost lit up, and his waist straightened, "I ask you, are you willing to forgive me?" Would you like to embark on a new journey with me? ”
"I do!" Almost in unison, only one man asked in a trembling voice, "Commander, do I have this qualification?" I have a large reason for the cause of that duel. ”
"It's okay, Tlos." The man nodded, "As long as you want." ”
"I do!" Almost answered with a roar.
"I'm sorry everyone." With another sigh, the man looked around at everyone again, "My depression has worried everyone, as an apology, I have a treat tonight, and everyone will not return if they are not drunk!" ”
"Do you still want to drink?" The proprietress herself didn't know why she joined the conversation, "Drinking too much will hurt you." ”
"Of course!" Everyone responded to her, "We're mercenaries!" ”
"Here, have a toast!"
At this time, the proprietress didn't know what the mercenaries had to do with their injuries, and she couldn't understand what the situation was between them, and she didn't know that in the future, her little hope bar would become one of the hottest mercenary bars in Mecarona City.
Just because, there is hope here.
Now she doesn't know who the mercenaries in her shop are, and she doesn't think about the future business, she just looks at the mercenaries frantically persuading them to drink, smiling wantonly, shaking her head helplessly, while carefully calculating the accounts - this money can't be missing.
