Chapter 235: A Day's Talk
The subtle aroma of tea escapes from the mouth of the cup, slowly like floating dust, quietly hiding in the air of the room.
The three people who had been talking in the main hall finally stopped, and they all picked up the temperature to just the right amount of new tea to drink, and the aroma between their noses became more mellow.
"I'm different from Octavia, for some reason I've never harmed ordinary people, and I'm on the side of humanity. In the past, they had to lurk, but now they don't, so I can help you get rid of them if you want. ”
Annabelle put down her teacup, and her demeanor and tone were only as sincere and kind as possible.
Visiting early in the morning was not an uninvited guest, but he really didn't want this man to do anything for the Awakened anymore. I haven't seen him all night, and the man on the other side, who should have lived a very rich life, is already a little haggard. Of course he recognized Luciella last night.
Conrad smiled bitterly, "Of course this is unwanted...... I should have thought that if I can get the approval of the big sword that slays the demons, I will definitely not be a cannibalistic awakener. ”
"The life of believing in everything and doubting three points has finally come to an end."
He seemed to have finally let go of a boulder in his heart, sat up straight and bowed deeply to Anna and Li Fang, "Thank you, if there is any need in the future, please be polite." ”
"There's a place I want to ask you, but it's also to solve this matter once and for all." Li Fang replied: "We will keep your affairs secret for you, but please tell us what you have recently contacted Octavia, and it would be better if you had their whereabouts." ”
Conrad pondered for a while, and finally said with a scowl on his face, "The last contact I made was to Octavia about Miss Anna and the Great Swords, just after the last time they visited. ”
“…… Saying that, Octavia should already have some doubts. Annabelle looked worried. When Hiluda returns in a few days, the group will go to the organization, and Rapoll may have people left behind, but if those awakened people arrive, they will definitely be powerless to stop them, and they will know everything here.
While away from home, Rapoll was attacked by a large group of Awoken demons, causing Annabelle to worry that this would happen again.
"It's much better than I imagined," Li Fang held the back of her hand, "If you can, please pay more attention to the movements of those awakened." ”
"You mean?"
"It's always good to have less danger in this world, but it will take a while." In order to arm the great swords as much as possible, Li Fang also needed more gold coins.
And Luciella's affair was an accident he had to admit, and since he had given her a second life that belonged entirely to humanity, there was no reason to deprive her of it.
The longer he lived on this continent, the more sincere his respect for human life became, and of course he was influenced by the three views he had established since childhood, but fortunately Anna was by his side in this regard.
“…… Okay, I'll pay more attention. Conrad nodded solemnly.
"By the way, the black tea thing has to be left to please." Annabelle said suddenly, the ones she had taken before were gone.
"Thank you for your love, I'll let someone pack some and send them over." With some beard, he finally grinned.
……
Outside of Rapoll there was a fairly large flat area, and then a gentle hillside.
The night arrives with the sunset's receding footsteps, and the evening breeze lifts the hem of the clothes with a thousand lines of sunset, indicating that this is the right weather.
The gathered people were still coming out of the gates of Rapoll in droves, and both young girls and nobles were dressed more modestly than usual, and many less bright colors came together, and naturally a solemn atmosphere rose.
In the desolate and uneven field, there was a smell of fishiness and oppression from the corpses of the awakened and demons stacked high, and if it weren't for the church's special publicity for this event, I am afraid that not many people would be willing to approach this place.
There was also a lot of dry firewood piled up around Rushan's corpse, after all, it would be much easier and more ceremonial than burying it.
In the downwind of the season in Rapoll, the church is preparing to hold such an event to pay tribute to those who have lost their lives, and to use the most intuitive act to erase people's excessive fear of the awakened and demons, and to raise courage.
When Li Fang led Annabelle through the crowd and arrived at the place where the church members and the greatswords gathered, Ophelia, Lajuana, and Luciella had already arrived first.
They all looked good, and Ophelia somehow got closer to the sisters.
After saying hello, Annabelle began to talk to them. Looking to the side, Li Fang noticed that Claire and Joni were a little strange.
"Did Miria tell you about that?" Li Fang leaned over and touched Joni's head from behind. She didn't even get out of the way.
"Ah, brother?" Joni turned around with her hands on her head, her eyes full of helplessness and displeasure.
She didn't answer, she quickly stepped her foot and touched Li Fang's forehead with her right hand, "Hehe, it's fair now." ”
Li Fang didn't expect his sister to do this! However, he also understood that Miriya should have told her about those heavy things, as well as the other greatswords.
"Joni, who did you learn this mouth fetish?"
"Sister Helen, I think it's good."
Li Fang pulled Joni over and whispered to her, "Don't be influenced by Helen, she'...... Well, it's better to learn more with Flora and Mugwort. ”
"Huh? Are you talking badly about me to Jonay? Helen leaned over from the side, and her unladylike demeanor did not match the appearance of the beautiful royal sister. But it's also another kind of charm.
Li Fang smacked his lips and looked away.
"You two must be speaking ill of me when you get so close, eh, Joni, you seem to be blushing." She was talking without hesitation.
"Nope! It's just that there are more people and it's a little boring. Joni's negative voice pulled Li Fang's curious gaze back.
It's true that they don't blush, and it seems that it is not easy for them to blush when their faces are always very pale.
Wait, why am I curious about Joni's blushing face? Li Fang suddenly felt embarrassed.
Joni also noticed Li Fang's gaze, and subconsciously turned her head, but realized that she was more empty-hearted, so she turned back again, staring at Li Fang angrily, and then staring at Helen.
Li Fang smiled when he saw it, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, "At a young age, don't think too much about it." ”
Not surprisingly, Jonny slapped his hand away and pulled Helen to the other side.
Li Fang shook his head with a helpless smile, looked around, and suddenly had some doubts.
"What's wrong? There seemed to be something interesting just now. Annabelle followed.
"Tease Joni's kid."
"She's not a child anymore," Anna's eyes looked a little reproachful, "what are you looking at?" ”
"I didn't see Candace, she should be there, forget it, let's go find Gegu and Xerdu, I want to see if there is anything we can do to help." Li Fang originally wanted to ask Candace when she was going to the south, after all, the abilities she might have learned made Li Fang have some guesses in his heart. But thinking of the embarrassment it might cause, I gave up on the idea for the time being.
As time passed, the chanting of the church members rang out at the same time as the huge flames spread over the mountain of corpses.
No one wanted to come near, and the smell was hard to accept, but everyone stood in silence in the night, and the light of the fire rising high almost illuminated half of Rapoll.
