Chapter 20: Nilgerina's Choice
This was supposed to be a beautiful and energetic girl, but what had just happened had scared her. Now she just sat on her knees and curled up in a ball, firmly pulling the torn clothes and trembling. Uncontrollable tears dazzled her white and flawless face, and her long light brown hair, which was originally extremely smooth, was disheveled. The poor girl was already consumed by fear. Yes, whether it is betrayed by someone you once trusted, or facing the danger of being ** and killed, or witnessing the bloody killing. All of this was so far away from her that it wouldn't have been in a nightmare! But now? The cruel reality has been bloodily displayed in front of her, and she is really about to collapse. But who is to blame for all this? Is it a conspirator? Or war!
Zhang Yang's shadow fell in front of the girl and entered her line of sight. It was a pair of short brown leather boots, stained with bits of blood. Just seeing this, the girl trembled even more violently.
"You're safe, can you, get up?"
Zhang Yang asked in a slowed tone as much as possible.
When the girl heard Wright's words, she struck a spirit. After Zhang Yang repeated it again, he slowly raised his head and looked at him fearfully, and after a while, the look of fear in his eyes subsided a little. She sobbed and slowly stood up against the wall, then tugging at her torn collar. He thanked Wright with a nervous expression.
"Thank you for saving me...... Your Excellency ......"
The girl was still scared, and her tears kept flowing. He didn't dare to look directly at Wright, and he seemed to be cowering. It was this man who saved me, but at the same time, this man also brutally killed so many people! Although he doesn't look very old, it's hard to guarantee that he won't suddenly have any bad thoughts...... It's scary here! Nilgerina was terrified. These experiences have made her a frightened bird.
Zhang Yang saw his fear, but he could only sigh silently in his heart. There is no way, when encountering such a thing, and the corpses in this place in front of you, few girls will not be afraid. However, the current situation has no time to give her time to be afraid, and if she doesn't leave quickly, she is afraid that it will become more dangerous!
"Let's go, first, get out of here. By the way, ask me, in the city, in the barracks, in the direction, yes, point me in? “
Maybe because of this girl's misfortune, Zhang Yang's words were a little more, and his tone was much more relaxed, no longer that blindly indifferent and insipid.
"Hmm...... Yes......"
The girl replied in a low voice. He staggered and fled and left the alley first. Zhang Yang was slightly depressed and found that she always subconsciously stayed away from her side. It seems that he was frightened by himself...... Zhang Yang tried his best to change the topic, hoping to alleviate the girl's fear, otherwise what if she pointed out the wrong way because of fear?
"You, what's your name, your name?"
"Nil, Nilgerina, Your Excellency."
"No, it is needed, honorific. Where are you, family? In a moment, go find them, let's go. Here, it's dangerous. “
"Hmm...... Thank you, my home is in the trade area in the south of the city. My father and my uncles went out of the city yesterday at noon to deliver the goods, and I don't know what happened to them......
Merchant?!!! Could it be the caravan that left the city yesterday??! So to put it this way...... Wright had a bad premonition.
"Yesterday, in the afternoon, out of town? Yes, a lot, caravans, together? “
"Yes, Your Excellency, oh, I'm sorry...... My lord...... That one...... I heard from my uncle that yesterday only a group of them went to deliver the goods and went out of the city. ”
Nilgerina was scared, and some didn't know what to call him. If any rude dissatisfaction makes this person unhappy, he will kill!! Although he seems to be quite peaceful now, the corpse in the alley just now proves his ruthlessness! The girl who was not deeply involved in the world thought secretly.
"Forget it, whatever you want, whatever, call it, just..."
Zhang Yang suddenly felt hesitant, should he tell her? Just experienced such a strong stimulus. Just endured so much fear. Do you want to tell her that terrible truth? Will she be able to withstand that blow? There is no way, and the people who have to rush to find the silver Pegasus don't have so much time to delay. After a short ideological struggle, Zhang Yang still told her everything he saw, the corpses that looked like merchants outside the city...... And then...... The girl looked completely devastated, and passed out directly. It's terrible,,, psychology can't bear it. Wright quickly took out the kettle he was carrying, raised her head and poured some water into her mouth, the cold water moistened her dry, bloodless lips. Fortunately, she woke up after a few coughs in less than 1 minute. It's just that when she woke up, she kept looking at the ground in front of her stupidly, and the look in her eyes quickly darkened! That's going to be a problem. Zhang Yang frowned, squatted down, and lifted her crying face with her right hand. looked straight into her eyes and said:
"Wake up! Awake! Thing, not yet, sure, you, hurry up, cheer up! Here, not safe! So, go down and you will die! Perhaps, they escaped, a catastrophe! “
Seeing her eyes that still didn't have any focus, Zhang Yang, who was a little anxious, gave her a slap! But she still didn't react at all when she was beaten, as if she had lost her soul! Zhang Yang was really anxious and helpless. If I knew she was so vulnerable, I wouldn't have told her...... (Do you think anyone is as tough as you are?) But Nancheng is already on fire, and her home is probably gone...... Where else could she go? It's just that in her state, in this war-torn city...... That scene will definitely happen again! That's a lot worse than death. Zhang Yang looked at her as if she had lost her soul, and knew that it was not a simple persuasion that could solve it. Only......
"Be strong, get up! Or, send you, a ride! Here, you will be more miserable than death! “
After saying it loudly, Zhang Yang let go of her and stood up. It's too cruel, at this time, there is no way. Only....... Let's hope she'll cheer her up! You're only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, right? It's the age when they should go to high school, and at this time, all they should have is a happy study life............ Zhang Yang's thoughts flew a little away at this moment.
In the next moment, Zhang Yang's eyes at her were completely cold. I saw him slowly stand up and draw his long sword with a bang! Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not a good person in the sense of the past with my current self-thinking. Things are always relative, though, here! At this time! You don't have many options...... Take her away? Is it possible to carry a walking dead girl on his back to save people? No kidding!! Zhang Yang's sword slowly rested on her white neck. The cold blade kissed the delicate skin, stirring up a layer of goosebump. Cheer up! After waiting for a long time, maybe it was a few points missing, Zhang Yang felt that this time suddenly seemed to be long. Just as he was about to stab forward in disappointment, Nilgerina's pupils shrank suddenly! Miraculously regained his senses! She clearly saw her own shadow reflected in the blade of the sword in front of her! I don't know where the strength came from, the girl's right hand quickly grabbed Zhang Yang's sword! She held the ground with her left hand, ignoring the spring light that was leaking from the side, raised her head suddenly to look at Zhang Yang, and said to him in a firm tone:
"I don't want to die! I want to live! I'm going to find the murderer! I want revenge! I need strength!! Please take me with you! I don't ask you to avenge me, I just want to give me the power to take revenge! As long as I can find the real culprit, let me take revenge! I want to serve you as Lord! “
Blood dripped down her right hand. Zhang Yang looked at her sudden resolute and resolute eyes with some surprise, and knew that this girl had stepped out of the shadow of fear and cowering in her heart! But at the same time, the heart is dominated by a sentiment called hatred...... Zhang Yang's heart couldn't tell whether he was happy or lost. I really don't fit to do psychological counseling~ He laughed at himself. Let's not talk about whether this is good or bad, let's get through this first. At the very least, people are "alive" again. Zhang Yang nodded slightly, motioning for her to let go. Then he slowly withdrew his sword. Handing her a bandage (actually the clothes that had been torn off earlier), he said to her with a calm face:
"Get up, take the wound, bandage it. Take me, to, the city of Jotham, the barracks. ”
Then Zhang Yang turned around, and there was a feeling of helplessness in his heart~ Why did I pick up a girl like this!? And teach her strength? This is completely inconsistent with my original intention of saving people and asking for directions! Besides, I can't even protect myself now... Big trouble.........
"Yes, master."
The girl actually began to imitate Zhang Yang's calm and cold tone, and she also took the bandage and bandaged herself neatly, it seems that her hands are very skillful and she has learned to bandage wounds... However, the values of people in this world are really helpless, and they are servants of their masters at every turn, which is inconsistent with Zhang Yang's consistent concept.
"No, yours, master."
Zhang Yang stopped and said helplessly. He took off his cloak and threw it to her, and motioned for her to put it on.
"Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Please teach me the power of revenge! ”
The girl suddenly fell to her knees on one knee and stared into Wright's eyes with her head held high, with three points of anticipation, three points of despair and more determination in her eyes.
“…… Want me, teach you, what? ”
Zhang Yang tilted his head slightly and looked back at her eyes and said. At this time, the girl's eyes looked very similar to her own eyes back then! The same anger, the same determination, the same determination! It's just that Wright can also see that there is boundless anger burning in those deep pupils. Black Vengeance Fury!! ……
"Teach me fighting skills, teach me to kill, teach me how to take revenge!"
"I, won't, vindictive, but, if you want, learn, revenge, power...... Stand up, come on. Take me there, barracks. “
Although Wright is young, his demeanor when he speaks at this time is full of intimidating majesty and incomparable confidence! And this scene was deeply engraved in the girl's mind! Under the dark sky filled with smoke and fire, on a messy and depressed street, a blood-stained teenager possesses incomparable majesty and self-confidence belonging to the strong! His eyes seemed to glow with a blue-white electric light at this time!!
