Extra: Sixteen Years Ago (Part II)
The largest town in the south, Alatan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"It's a really big town!" Denisha used her hands as a tent to cover the scorching midday sun, and looked at the bustling big city at the foot of the mountain, "In terms of scale, it is no less than that of St. Rapolle." β
Standing beside her was her agent, Lu Lu, an old man who always wore a hat and sunglasses, bowing his head and writing something, completely ignoring Denisha's exclamations.
"Lulu, what are you writing?" Dinisha walked behind Lu Lu curiously and read the words she saw softly, "NO.11 Dinisha Death Report, Cause of Death - Stupidly spied on the town of Alatan, where the Awakened gathered, and after being identified, she was besieged by several Awakened, and her limbs were broken and made into a special food similar to that of the indigenous people of the East (Note: It is said that this food called 'sushi' is eaten raw by peeling live fish and rolling it in rice balls)...... Hey, I'm not dead yet, why are you in such a hurry to make up my death record? β
"You're dead," Lu Lu didn't even bother to look up, "from the time you had a problem with your head and decided to scout Alatan Town, I'd treat you as dead." β
ββ¦β¦ Could it be that you are talking to a ghost right now? β
Lu Lu ignores her and continues to fabricate the "Denisha Death Report".
"Hey!"
"Before you shout, you might as well take the secret medicine first, there are likely to be those awakened who are good at demonic perception, beware of being caught before you can sneak in."
Denisha sighed helplessly and swallowed the black pill.
After a while, her blonde hair and silver eyes gradually changed color, returning to the same way they had been many years ago: black hair and dark eyes.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Denisha remembered a lot of past events: she was born in a wealthy merchant family, she lived a prosperous life since she was a child, she was lively by nature, and she also studied swordsmanship for a period of time with the captain of the family's guard, and was known as a swordsmanship genius with her outstanding talent.
All happiness came to an end at the age of eight. Her father, who was away in business, was attacked by demons and died, and her mother, who had always had a bad relationship with her father, soon found another man, and even sold her to the organization in order to ensure that she was not divided by Dinisha in order to ensure that the family property was not divided by Denissa, and the price was - one hundred liels, which was equivalent to her cheapest piece of clothing.
After becoming a warrior, Denisha once took time to return to her hometown, where her mother and stepfather lived well, and they had a lovely son.
As for the little girl who was abandoned by them six years ago, no one remembers it for a long time......
Warriors can't kill humans, it's the iron law of the organization!
That night, Denisha stabbed herself with a dagger in four wounds before resisting the urge to draw her sword for revenge.
Since then, she has been smiling since she was a trainee, and she has been smiling more and more happily.
Laugh and forget all those past events.
Fight or die, nothing is worth caring about, she just needs to smile.
Saying hello to Lu Lu, who was still immersed in writing a death report, Dinisha took off her warrior's standard equipment and put on a beautiful long dress she had bought not long ago.
Then, smiling, she walked towards the town down the hill.
ββββββ
"It seems that I did underestimate the ...... of my predecessors"
When she was grabbed by the limbs of the four awakened people with a demonic aura as strong as flames, and pressed to the table, Denisha was surprised to find that she could still laugh!
"Before I get eaten, I want to ask how you saw through me?"
"We really didn't feel your demonic energy," replied the long-nosed awakened man who grabbed her left hand with a grin, "but I smelled the secret potion on you. β
"Don't talk to her, let's discuss how to eat first, this girl's skin is delicate and tender, and it should look delicious." An awakened person who looked a little like a big fish licked Denisha's arm with his tongue and exclaimed excitedly, "I want to eat it with applesauce!" β
"I think it's better to boil it in water, and you can drink soup in addition to meat."
"Let's braise it, Mr. Cherubi just bought a spice that can make food more delicious, so let's use this stupid junior to try it out!"
"I still think it's better to eat alive, I can eat while listening to her wailing."
"Pointless low-grade fun!"
"Yes! And this junior looks very backbone, I'm afraid that there is no wailing sound for you to hear. β
A group of monsters are arguing around Denisha and fighting for the right to decide how she eats it.
"Can you give her to me for a while?" An awakened person with a pig's head and a particularly tall look suddenly ran over and said loudly, "When I'm done with it, it's not too late to give it to you!" β
The Awoken looked at him with unkind expressions - the Awoken generally maintained their basic human form, at least their gender. The people who had just discussed how to eat Denisha were all female awakened ones, but it was the men who came in a hurry.
"What do you want to do?"
"Do you still need to ask? I haven't touched a woman in years......" The Pig-Headed Awakened said with a twist, and then added, "Don't worry, I won't use it for long, I can eat it after two or three times!" β
This time, he can stab the hornet's nest - although those awakened people don't care about Dinessa's life and death, but as a woman, how can they tolerate this kind of behavior?
"Pervert!"
"Beast!"
"Not even as good as a beast! At least the beast won't rape her before eating the food! β
"yes, yes, it's not even as good as a beast!"
A few minutes later, the "Beast is not as good" awakened person who was beaten into an evolved version of a pig's head, reluctantly left in tears.
"You seniors, you're really interesting people......
"Then as long as you also awaken, you can be like us." An awakened man who looked like a heavily armored knight with a thick carapace covered in a thick carapace and a tassel floating behind his head smiled and said, "We welcome juniors to join us." β
Denisha thought for a few seconds and shook her head in refusal.
"I'm sorry, I think it's better to be eaten." With that, she closed her eyes and stopped looking at the Awakened who were obviously a little disappointed.
Die or die, so she doesn't want to be a monster like the demons who killed her father!
The long skirt, which had not been worn for long, was quickly peeled off, and a thick, powerful palm pressed against the top of the head.
In the next moment, your own head will be pinched and exploded effortlessly, right?
However, instead of crushing her head, the hand turned to the back of her neck, the position of the cervical vertebrae, in the whispered exclamation of the master.
Then there are the shoulders, elbows, palms, waist, knees, and feet.
Although I already knew from the constant exclamations that the other party was male, butβwhat does this mean? Even if she had to rape them once or twice before eating, with the knowledge she had learned in the organization, she shouldn't have done anything about these positions......
"Little girl, what's your name?" The man who had been amazed finally couldn't help but speak, and his voice sounded soft and grinning, as if he was an idle and weak young man.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a brunette man who seemed to be very amiable, and even looked a little weak. The not tall figure has no deterrent power, and the slightly drooping eyes make him look more like a weak scholar than a warrior.
"Denissa, what about you?"
The young man laughed and waved his hand, motioning for the Awoken to let her go.
"My name is Cherubi, and I'm your senior." The powerful awakened person who ruled the city showed a very serious and cautious expression, "You have a clear bones, a strong physique, and a strong mind, and you are the most outstanding martial arts wizard I have ever seen in my life, so-"
"Will you worship me as a teacher and be my apprentice?"
Denisha hates demons and doesn't like the Awoken. For her, it is more pleasant to be an awakened person than to die.
But, for some reason, she nodded her head and agreed to cherubia's request.
ββββββ
Cherubi's swordsmanship was the exact opposite of what she had learned in the past!
He never pursues powerful demonic power, but suppresses his demonic power to the limit, so that he can sense the flow of the enemy's demonic power, and then judge the enemy's next move according to the direction of the demonic power flow, and preemptively attack the enemy's flaws before they can complete the attack.
This technique is what he calls "demonic perception".
Kirulby was only a warrior of NO.47 back then, and in terms of demonic power, not to mention the abyssal ones, even those awakened people who often come to Alatan Town to visit the door, there are many people who are stronger than him.
However, when it comes to really getting started, even Lucina, the "Armor Knight" of No.4 in the first female warrior, is no match for him.
Utter suppression, victory without suspense!
"No matter how powerful the force is, it is in vain if you can't beat the enemy." Cherubi taught her, "Only the brute bull can fight the enemy, sense the enemy's demonic power, look for flaws, and attack flaws." No matter how strong the demonic power and moves are, there will definitely be flaws, what you have to do is to find it and hit it. β
Under his guidance, Denisha's swordsmanship improved rapidly, and in just two months, she basically mastered the essentials of demonic energy perception and was able to use it in actual combat.
"You like to fight without unleashing demonic power, this is a good habit worthy of affirmation!" Cherubi commented on her fighting habits, "It's the nature of a creature to be able to overwhelm an opponent with ten points of strength, and not to study how to defeat the enemy with one point of strength." But to be strong, you need to be able to resist the temptations of nature and constantly seek out how to use your power more effectively. β
"Isli and Livlu are very strong, but if you go one-on-one, they may not be my opponents. Because they are accustomed to using powerful demonic power to fight hard and crush the enemy head-on. β
"Actually, the technology of 'demonic energy perception' is more suitable for warriors to use against the awakened, after all, the demonic power of the awakened is too strong, no matter how much you suppress it, you still can't completely suppress it after all." After a joust, Cherubi said with some regret, "This is the end of my life's achievements, and I hope you can go further." β
He then began to teach Denisha how to fight against various weapons.
"That girl in Liv Road's fighting method is monotonous to the extreme, that is, she turns her body into countless strands of silk and fights all over the world. And if you want to be an imaginary enemy, Isli is more suitable. He is proficient in the use of more than a dozen weapons, and has worked each of them, and in terms of his knowledge of weapons, I am afraid that no one in the world can surpass him. β
"But the strongest martial artist I know is the instructor who taught us swordsmanship, the guy who always wraps himself in thick armor, the swordsmanship is extremely simple, but it is fast and accurate, even Isli, he can't do ten moves in front of him."
"I think it's just fast and accurate, and it's still lacking. One must be able to understand the various weapons in order to deal with them more effectively. β
"I divide all the fighting techniques in the world into six categories: fists and kicks, guns and clubs, swords, axes and hammers, whips, bows and arrows. According to their respective characteristics and usage methods, many rules have been sorted out......"
The Awoken Gathering in Alatan has long since ended, and the Awoken have returned to their territories, but Denisha has not left Alatan Town.
After all, Cherubi was the de facto lord of the South, and he opened his mouth, and the organization couldn't help but give him some face, so he suspended Denisha's work so that she could concentrate on learning martial arts.
The broadsword used by the warriors was a weapon that was more powerful than light enough, but in the eyes of cherubi, it didn't matter whether the weapon was light or heavy, light and heavy and heavy, as long as they could find the enemy's flaws and attack, it didn't make a difference whether they used a sledgehammer or a sewing needle.
Spring goes to autumn, flowers bloom and fall.
By the time cherubi felt that "I have nothing more to teach", the young girl had grown into a slim beauty.
The only thing that didn't change, the smile on Denissa's face.
During this time, she also met many awakened people, including Luciella, the Abyss of the South, and she fought against all the strong people in the south. At the beginning, Denissa, who was not yet at home in swordsmanship, was naturally defeated by those powerful awakened in two or three clicks, but as her swordsmanship continued to improve, she persisted for longer and longer, and in the end, she not only defeated the awakened ones, but was even able to tie with Luciella!
It is precisely because of her record during this period of time that the organization has continued to improve her ranking, and after fighting Luciella, she has unknowingly replaced the original No.1 Rosemary and became the new No.1, with the title of "Smiling Denicea".
A warrior who can fight the Abyssal head-on without dying, she is the first in so many years since Livlu awakened. So although she doesn't have much work experience for the time being, she has been recognized by the organization.
The question is, is Luciella serious?
Denisha didn't ask, and Luciella didn't say.
She always felt that the relationship between Cherubi and Lucina and Luciella seemed to be a little inexplicable.
To put it simply, it is "ambiguous".
This can be judged from the strange atmosphere of the two awakened predecessors who don't know if they can be called "Shi Niang" every time they meet.
It is said that Lucina, who has known Cherubi for more than 100 years, should have priority, but Luciella, who is an abyssal and does not hesitate to give away the ruling power of the south, is obviously sincere......
Forget it, as a disciple, she doesn't have a say in this kind of thing.
The days of learning are very happy, but the happy days will eventually come to an end.
"No.2 Rosemary sent a black letter." Although her agent has been replaced by Oluxian, who is at the top of the organization, the only agent who dares to enter Alatan Town is Lu Lu, an old man who always wears a hat and glasses, and handed Denisha a black letter, "She has been a NO.1 for eight years, so I hope that you can replace her and send yourself on her last journey." β
Denisha smiled and took the letter.
"Go ahead, be careful yourself." Hearing the news that his apprentice was about to leave for the distance, Kilubi, who was sitting in the tavern to spend time as soon as he had time, waved his hand disapprerovingly, "If you have time, help me bring some good wine back from all over the mainland." β
ββββββ
Alatan, an important town in the south, is still as prosperous as ever.
The remnants of the Black Twins and the Devourers of the Abyss seemed to dissolve into the air and disappeared without a trace, and the earth-shattering battle ended in silence.
Carrying a bottle of wine brought by Mr. Wang Hu from the outside world, Denisha once again stood at the intersection of Alatan Town.
A large wooden sign stands on the side of the road with a depiction of a ferocious werewolf. Below the werewolf, there is a line of blood-red characters:
This place is infested with extremely dangerous beasts, and bandits avoid it.
It was when she was a student and reworked a portrait of cherubi.
To be honest, compared to her unparalleled talent in martial arts, she is really lacking in talent in art.
At that time, cherubi looked at this sign and became angry for a long time. But in the end, he still smiled and allowed the existence of this street sign.
More than ten years have passed, and the pictures and handwriting on the street signs have been a little blurry, if it is not for the deep memory, I am afraid that even Denisha herself will not recognize what it is.
"I remember the last time I brought wine to the old man, I could see that this painting was a werewolf......" Denisha muttered to herself, trying to reach for the sign, but was stopped by a shout from not far away.
"Hey! Warriors over there, don't touch that sign! Master will be angry! β
Hurrying over was a little girl who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, with short blond hair and silver eyes that seemed to reflect the sun.
"Hello, Lena," Denisha laughed again, "or rather, I should call you 'Sister Lena'." β
"You ......"
"My name is Denisha and I am the first apprentice of Teacher Cherubi."
Lena's mouth was open enough to fit a whole piece of cake, and she looked at Denisha in amazement, looking up and down for a long time, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.
"No need to touch it, I'm not a ghost."
"But...... Haven't you been dead for years? β
"It's hard to put into words...... Senior sister, are you going to catch up with me here? Denisha grinned as Lena scrambled to lead her way, unhurriedly following her into the familiar town.
"After all these years, the town of Alatan doesn't seem to have changed much......"
"Yes, because it's very prosperous, no matter how prosperous it is, it's always the same."
ββ¦β¦ I remember that it used to be a flower shop, but now it's a bakery......"
"Because the owner of the flower shop found that his talent for making bread was better than that for raising flowers."
"Where did this giant wolf statue come from? It's so exquisitely done! β
"This is carved by me, and I'm also a well-known carver!"
ββ¦β¦ By the way, Master, he ...... Still in the tavern? β
Lena shook her head and pointed to the square not far away.
A mild-looking black-haired young man was pushing a strange chair with four wheels, and on the chair sat a beautiful woman with a double ponytail, a haggard face, and a sad expression.
A few steps away, a heroic red-haired woman looked at the two men with a puff.
"Hey, Mr. Cherubi!"
Before Lena, Denisha shouted and raised the bottle in her hand.
"I've brought a rare piece of good wine this time!"
ββββββ
The side story is complete.
In other words, Kerubi is really blessed, two beautiful wives, plus two beautiful apprentices, Lori and the royal sister.
I didn't expect that the protagonist and the harem hadn't been opened yet.,This supporting role that has only played a half-time in total has opened the harem first......
