CHAPTER XXXI
The people of the city entertained Jona and they stayed in their house, and the boy who said that he could take them to Taiyi-kun's mountain was called Shi Xin, and it was said that his father would return in three days.
And Jona also learned some news about this world, the country where they are now located is in turmoil, and they used to invade other countries often, the monarch is mediocre, and the people are miserable. And when it is rumored that the country is about to die, a girl from another world will appear and be chosen as a shrine maiden to save the country, and there will be seven star warriors to protect her and fight together.
Jona doesn't sound very reliable, why should she give the responsibility of saving a country to an ordinary middle school girl who has crossed over from another world? Even if the current prime minister of Japan is brought over, it will not be possible, since this is a royal country, the emperor will definitely not hand over his power, and public opinion and fairness are obviously just empty words.
If nothing can be done, how can we save it? This is not a problem that can be solved by defeating the king and replacing it with a new one.
All the countries ruled by the royal power in history have evolved into the present equality of all people in the process of overthrowing and being overthrown, and the results of history prove this qiΔ. However, if you want to talk to these people who have been brainwashed by feudal rule for a long time and are still in an uncivilized state, I am afraid that they themselves will not be able to accept it. It must have been a historical process and an excess, and there was no other way than to take time and an awakened mind to lead them, and Joanna was certain that she would never have done it herself.
For the sake of the long-term future, there is no point in maintaining this false prosperity, so when Xiao Yui asks her if there is any way to help these poor people, Jona refuses her very directly and sues her for reasons.
Xiao Wei was silent for a while after hearing this, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it, it was indeed as Qiao Na's predecessor said, it was not the gods or witches who could save these people, but themselves.
Despite the poor living materials of the ordinary people of Kudong, Jona was still warmly welcomed by the people in the city, and they were really regarded as people sent by the gods to save them, but Jona didn't explain much, and didn't accept what the local people gave, just ate some food, took a bath with hot water, and went to bed early.
However, in the middle of the night, Xiao Yui was still asleep, and she dreamed in a daze that she was still tutoring in the library with Mi-joo, but suddenly heard a noise around the quiet library. She was about to get angry, but then there was an earthquake again, Mijoo was gone, and when she was terrified and trying to find a place to hide, she was suddenly woken up.
"Wake up! Two shrine maidens! β
"What's going on?"
Xiao Yui got out of bed sleepily and found that Jona's senior had just woken up. Yes...... A sleepy-eyed look.,It's much cuter than when it's usually strict.γ
"Mikome-sama, run away!"
The family where Jona and the others were staying was holding an oil lamp in their hands and looked at them very nervously, "Your Majesty the Emperor heard that the Qinglong Witch had appeared, and I don't know which minister said to His Majesty that this was a sign of the death of the country, and he has already sent someone to arrest you!" β
"Huh?! Why?! β
Xiao Wei was suddenly shocked, although the legend of the witch will appear before the death of the country, but didn't the witch come to save the country? Why do they seem to be becoming a threat instead? This is completely different from what happened to Mi-joo in Hongnanguo...... Mi-joo was protected by everyone at that time!
"I don't know! Maybe His Majesty is afraid of the shrine maiden. β
The owner of the house looked out the window, and there were soldiers with torches everywhere. Soon his daughter walked into the house, holding two simple women's clothes in her hands, and handed them to Qiao Na and Xiao Wei by the owner of the house, "They are looking for you from house to house, we will definitely protect the shrine maiden, I will let my daughter exchange clothes with you, how much can I delay a little time......
"How can this work?!" Qiao Na and Xiao Wei spoke at the same time, "I can't affect you!" β
"It's okay, we can't pay the next quarter's taxes......" the man sighed helplessly, "If Mizuhide is snatched away and becomes the plaything of the nobles, the child himself would rather die to protect the shrine maiden." β
The girl bowed her head and was silent.
"Don't say stupid things!" Jona frowned, "I won't allow this to happen!" β
"No, Mikome-sama is our hope." The man glanced at his daughter, who looked about the same age as Yui, and raised her head firmly and bravely and said loudly, "Please let me be taken away in place of the shrine maiden!" β
"It's okay, we can't get involved with you."
Jona stopped the family and turned to exchange glances with Yui. Xiao Wei suddenly understood, shook his head and said, "We don't want anyone to sacrifice to protect us, we will leave here, please treat you as if you never saw me and us." β
"How's this going to work? And now that the whole city is under martial law, His Majesty has sent General Antares to guard the city gate, and no one can get out of the city! β
The family wanted to say something, but both Jona and Yui insisted on refusing them.
"We'll figure it out ourselves."
Although it would be much easier to grow Demon Plants here, these Demon Plants are not uncontrollable and will only attack the surrounding creatures.
At that moment, there was a sharp knock on the door outside. The owner of the house suddenly panicked, but he couldn't resist the insistence of the two girls, so he had to take them to the back window, "You guys run from here!" β
"I'm sorry for your trouble!" Xiao Wei bowed gratefully to the owner of the house and thanked him.
"Open the door! If you don't open the door, you'll burn down your house! β
"Come on...... Here it comes! β
The owner of the house looked at Jona and them reluctantly, then took their hands, said to take care, and then hurried to open the door to meet the officers and soldiers who came to search for them.
"Be careful."
After Jona jumped out of the house, she reached out and took Xiao Yui, and the two carefully hid behind the wall, already hearing the movement of rummaging in the house.
"Jona-senpai...... Do you think we're going to go to that Antares general? Xiao Wei looked a little hesitant and said, "Although our side seems to be different from Meizhu's situation, but the Seven Star Priest still exists to protect the witch, at least he won't harm the witch he wants to protect, maybe you can ask about the current situation?" β
"Don't be naΓ―ve, maybe the current situation is his trouble." Jona shook her head and said, "I don't trust this man, he always feels like he's hiding something important." β
"So what do we do? Is there a better way? Xiao Wei asked.
"Break through." Jona said, "If that antagonist is going to stop us, let's kill him as well." β
"Can you do it?!" Xiao Yui was surprised.
"There's nothing that can't be done." Jona stretched out her hand to Xiao Yui, "Come with me?" β
"......" Xiao Yui hesitated for a moment, and reasoned to tell her that this was a very bad choice, but after seeing Qiao Na's bright eyes, she felt as if she was full of courage. So she nodded simply and took Jona's hand, "I'm with seniors!" β
Anyway...... She is willing to believe in Jona-senpai!
"Just follow me."
Jona pulled Xiao Yui's hand tightly, but at this time she heard someone shouting, "Here!" There are two suspicious little girls! β
The officers and soldiers who searched quickly found them, and shone them in this direction with torches, Xiao Wei's heartbeat accelerated violently, but Qiao Na did not hesitate, she immediately released the daughter of the forest green to knock down several Judong soldiers who were blocking in front, and then rushed out with Xiao Wei.
"They're there! Catch them! β
"Watch out for the ones you want to catch alive! You can attack with a weapon, but don't get killed! β
The night resounded with the shouts of the soldiers of the Eastern Kingdom, "It seems that they are really going to do something to us...... Xiao Wei was so frightened that she didn't dare to turn back at all, and ran forward with Jona, followed by a large number of pursuers.
If you plant Demon Plants, you can directly solve these people, but it will also affect the innocent people here, and at the same time, the situation is also a bit tricky to deal with so many people, so Qiao Na can only find a way to get out of the city before starting.
Even if he swept away the enemy in front of him and ran, the pursuers behind him still did not decrease, and a few people from the country of Kudong suddenly volunteered to jump out and block those officers and soldiers with their bodies, but they were cut off their heads mercilessly in an instant, and people began to cower and did not dare to move forward, but at this moment, suddenly a young boy broke free from his grandmother and stumbled out to block in front of the group of officers and soldiers.
"Fuck off! Do you want to die, imp? β
One of the generals at the head sneered at the boy who stood in front of them, the boy was trembling all over, but bravely opened his arms and shouted at the group of soldiers with an undeveloped voice, "Absolutely ...... I won't let you hurt Miko-sama! β
"Aggie!" The old woman with gray temples came up and hugged her grandson, glaring at the soldiers of the Eastern Kingdom, "The old body and Aji are here together!" β
The people around looked at the pair of grandchildren in fear, but the surroundings were unusually silent, and no one dared to come forward.
"I see you're getting impatient!" The general sneered cruelly, kicked the old woman away, and stabbed the boy in the abdomen.
"Aggieβ!!"
The old woman cried out in tears, and the boy was thrown out by the general, and fell to the mud and stone without even a muffled grunt, and the bright red blood flowed from his abdomen, soaking the surrounding ground red.
"See?! This is the result of rebelling against the king of Kudong! Even children will not be forgiven! β
A group of soldiers from the Kingdom of Kudong burst out laughing, as if they were laughing at the inadequacy of the crowd. The surrounding people didn't dare to make a sound, angry but didn't dare to make any moves to watch this scene. Xiao Yui covered her eyes in pain, but in the next moment, Jona suddenly turned around and ran back, rushing in front of the young man and kneeling down on one knee.
"Oh? Surrendered? If you cooperate obediently, you won't get hurt! β
There was a victorious expression on the general's face, but what was unbelievable was that when the girl's hand covered the boy's body, the hideous wound on the boy's abdomen suddenly began to heal rapidly, and under everyone's gaze, the child named Aji suddenly slowly opened his eyes and got up from the ground.
"I ...... What's wrong......"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Everyone stared blankly at this scene, this unbelievable thing happened in front of them like a miracle, and even the general of the Kudong Kingdom had not had time to digest this qiΔ. And then suddenly, I don't know who shouted.
"Miracles-!! It's a miracle -- !! β
The shout seemed to wake up something, and the crowd suddenly rioted, and all those who had given in in fear suddenly pounced on the group of soldiers of the Kudong Kingdom and began to snatch their weapons.
"A girl who really wonders - !!"
"The Gods Have Not Forsaken Us !!"
