Volume II: Chapter 173: The Truth
"I remember telling you that our family is the real power of Odrenza. Lorna tilted her head to stare at Thor.
"Yes, you did. Thor smiled.
"Then I want you to understand what you're doing right now!" Lorna's good-looking brows furrowed together, as if trying to piece together an oppressive expression on her little face.
"Of course, I'm well aware. In fact, I also said that from the moment you did it to me, we were enemies. And I usually have only two attitudes towards the enemy, one is to kill her, and the other is to kill her after torture. Thor stared at Lorna.
The eyes of the two collided with each other, threatened, and confronted each other.
A moment later.
"Leave me alone? Actually, I'm pathetic. Lorna suddenly lowered her voice and begged for mercy, her little eyes blinking aggrievedly.
Her hands were tied behind her back, and she was lying face down on Thor's lap.
From this awkward and dangerous position, she obviously had some bad premonitions, and subconsciously turned her head to look at ...... from time to time Behind him, apparently his ass was cocking defenselessly.
"Don't talk as if someone wants to destroy you, don't worry, although you are my enemy, you don't have to live or die. We're going to get into the most interesting story parts, and then I'm going to ask you some questions in turn. ”
"You can be honest, and you can make up some answers in a whimsical way, and I'm not sure if I have some polygraph tricks. Anyway, if your answer doesn't satisfy me, then I'm sorry. Thor rubbed her little blue-haired head.
Lorna was silent, and after a few moments, she finally collapsed on Thor's lap, looking down at the ground as if in resignation.
"Let me think about it, it seems like a lot to ask, where to start first? Well, let's start by the lake. So the first question is, what did you get from the blood-colored stele by the lake?" Thor pointed his finger to his forehead and began to ask.
As if the secret in her heart had been seen through, Lorna suddenly turned her head in surprise, she had thought that Thor would revolve around the Dark Cross issue, after all, it was related to his life and death, who knew that he would be caught off guard by this issue.
"What...... Didn't get it either, I don't understand what you're talking about, I'm just studying some old history on the stele......"
"Smack~" Thor slapped his hand and flicked Lorna's little buttocks under her dress.
"How dare you ......," Lorna exclaimed.
"Smack~"
"Stop!
"Papa~papa!" Saul felt as if he had gradually mastered a certain sense of rhythm.
"Woo, I was wrong, I said, I got an ancient secret about this continent from the stone tablet. As Thor raised his hand again, the stubborn Lorna finally relented and shouted out the answer at a rapid pace.
"It seems that we have finally reached a little bit of a consensus, which is not easy, and hopefully we can continue to open our hearts as we do now. Saul said.
The hooligan, the pervert, the devil, and Lorna could only hide her gaze and curse fiercely in her heart. There was an empty house next door, not even a wild dog, and he was clearly torturing and threatening himself in disguise.
"Okay, next question, what secrets did you get? about what?" Thor continued.
“...... I don't know, really, this secret has to be cracked across the continent at the same time, and the information obtained can be gathered to piece together the whole picture. It's like a troubadour's psalm, where you get only one or two lines and you can't see anything. ”
"Besides, I didn't even say a word or two, and I wasn't joking when I told you that the amount of information on the stele was so large that it would make people's heads explode. In addition to withstanding the attack of the guardians, cracking the stele also requires strong magic and spiritual power. ”
"I studied for two years with my mentor Fiona, a well-known scholar in the mainland, and stone inscription has always been her research direction. It's just that the last time the tutor didn't completely crack the inscription, but left the last two. ”
"It's not that she doesn't want to, but if she keeps maintaining a spiritual connection with the inscription by the lake for a long time, the Guardian's offensive will become more and more intense, and even take action in person. ”
"Under the frantic onslaught of the Guardians, my mentor can only regretfully leave the last two runes on the stone tablet and withdraw them temporarily. Over the years, she had been studying the words she had received earlier, and she was ready to study them thoroughly before coming to observe the last two runes. ”
"I also overheard my mentor talk about this, so I took the opportunity of this mission to take a trip to the lake and get the content of the last two runes. Lorna recounted the whole reason fluently.
Judging from the speed of her speech, Lorna didn't seem to be lying, but what she revealed, Thor wasn't too interested. A secret, treasure, relic, and hidden history about the continent doesn't seem to have much to do with me.
"So what does it mean to you that you hold the contents of the last two runes in your hands? You want to unlock this secret alone?" Thor was a little suspicious in his heart, with Lorna's strength, it might not be enough to do this.
"No, I told you that my family's current situation is a bit difficult. But now that I've cracked the last two runes, I may be able to use this as a bargaining chip to get the voices of support from the Mentor School to change the status quo of the family. Lorna replied.
"Then you've come from the main city of Odrenza this time, are you here to complete your mission against me, or are you here for the stone tablet text?" Thor looked directly at Lorna, his gaze sharp.
"I'm here because of the Dark Cross mission, but I thought maybe I could use this opportunity to do something...... own business, that's why it's ...... Went to the lake. Lorna's voice grew quieter and quieter, and she looked at Thor in some confusion.
"So just because of your family, you don't say hello, and trick me who doesn't know anything to the lake to use it to my heart's content, and it doesn't matter if it's almost finished?" Thor laughed angrily.
If it's to deal with yourself, I won't say it, but before you deal with me, you have to use a wave to the death, which is unbearable.
"I've put up with you for being murderous, teasing me, treating me as a warbler, but courtesy is still exchanged, and I always have to get something from you......" Lorna defended weakly, as if she had a point.
"Does that sound like you've been being persecuted by me all along, so you feel wronged?" Thor smiled with a black thread, his hand hovering over Lorna's little ass again.
"No, no...... There are no grievances, I am ...... Honoured. Seeing Thor raise her hand, Lorna could only answer with great grievances.
"Okay, this question is over for now, now change to another question, why does the Dark Cross keep targeting me?" Thor stared at Lorna's expression, after all, this was his primary concern.
"They say you'...... Say you're ......," Lorna said.
"Smack~" The palm of the hand sneaked up on the little ass without warning.
They say you are an ancient evil that must be controlled or defeated. Lorna shouted in a panic.
"Poof~~ Ancient Evil!?Who are they??They say?" Thor couldn't help but sneer when he heard the answer, he had imagined all kinds of possibilities but had no clue, and he didn't think that it would end up being such a ridiculous shit reason.
"I don't know, I'm not from the Dark Cross, I have my own family, and I was only invited to participate in this mission because of the needs of the mission. The Dark Cross HQ has issued a crusade against you, as stated in the mission description. Lorna explained.
"Does the mission description say that I've ever flown freely in the sky and killed a few gods?"
"It's true, since you killed the Seventh Squadron of the Dark Cross, the crusade order against you has also been raised from Rank C to Tier B, so this time it's the Dark Cross Squadron Squadron......"
"Wait, who did you say I killed?" Thor interrupted Lorna suddenly, as if a flash of lightning had cracked in her consciousness.
"You killed the Seventh Dark Cross Squad! It is said that their captain was a third-order heavy shield man named Hank, but only the other members of the team died, and Hank was only seriously injured and did not die. ”
"Then it was based on Hank's letter that he sent back to the main city in the form of a letter crow that a second siege against you was organized. ”
"The description of the battle sent to the main city says that you originally looked like an ordinary person, but after you fainted, you suddenly stood up again, and you had a powerful and terrifying evil power, and destroyed the seventh team in an instant. ”
"However, the mission description is very vague, just claiming that you are an ancient evil, and there is no specific ......"
Lorna was still talking in fits and starts, but Thor couldn't hear anything anymore.
His whole expression was a little dull, his heart was full of shock, and even cold sweat flowed down his cheeks instantly.
The news that Lorna inadvertently revealed made Thor suddenly feel the cold of winter and deep fear in the middle of summer.
What he feared was not some evil force or anything like that, but the fact that there was another person in his body, and the most terrifying thing was the ridiculous-sounding story, but Thor had a gut feeling that it might be true at the first moment he heard it.
It was as if Thor had suddenly returned to that eerie day in the late autumn of Dark Calendar 716, when he was ambushed by a zombie in his graveyard, and then lost his right hand and fell into a coma.
This time, though, Thor saw in his imagination what had happened after he had fallen unconscious.
He saw himself staggering and getting back to his feet, killing the zombie with great force, putting his severed right hand back on his body, then picking up the graveyard's hoe and leaning against the wall, and then went back to the hut and went to bed as if nothing had happened.
There is also the spring of 717 in the dark calendar, the day when she and Chletty agreed to meet in Newtown.
In the wilderness, he was intercepted by the six members of the Dark Cross, and he fell into a coma because he was defeated by the Heavy Shieldman. Then he stood up again, crushed them one by one in a gesture that he never knew.
Then he went through thick and thin like a nobody, returned to the grave keeper's hut, threw himself on the bed, and slept peacefully.
Thor desperately tried to see what he imagined 'him' to look like, and as his consciousness drew closer, just when Thor felt that he was about to see, Thor who was sleeping on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and smiled at himself.
"Hey, you've found me!"
