Chapter 12 is a lot easier
The defection of the suspected NO.1 Teresa did not have any impact on the lives of Annabelle and Li Fang.
Anna and Teresa are not trainees in the same period, and they have nothing to do with each other after becoming fighters, so except for Li Fang's silent plan in his heart and trying to recall some plots, the aftermath of this incident seems to end here.
After Teresa was assassinated by the awakened Priscilla, a heart of revenge led Claire to join the organization as a trainee, and when she reappeared a few years later, she was already a greatsword.
How many years have passed? Li Fang didn't know, but on the way to the next mission location, he asked Annabelle.
Annabelle explained that the organization recruits trainees about once every six months, all girls, and unless there are special circumstances, all training and assessment is completed in five years. After successfully fusing the demon flesh and blood, after the actual combat assessment, it can be officially sealed and become a big sword.
During the trainee period, the high-intensity training and the high risk of fusing demon flesh and blood made the path of ordinary girls to become big swords always shrouded in the shadow of death. Until the end, you can't be sure whether the friend around you who has been cheering you on will become a great sword or die halfway. The number of trainees who can go to the end is, without exaggeration, nearly half.
But on the other hand, it can be said that in each of the big swords, the organization has invested a lot of resources, and it is not as Kimir said, that even the value of intelligence spending is not comparable.
Li Fang noticed that Anna's sword mark was a vertical line that passed through a line that looked like a flapping wing. He didn't know what that meant, but he wasn't curious either.
So the next five years will be a blank period in the original work.
Li Fang felt fortunate that he had five years to allow himself to "develop", even if he only relied on his knowledge of gemstones, he would be able to produce at least four large outfits after five years.
He now figured out that in his build interface, the real strength of all equipment is not its basic attributes, but the special effects attached to it. For example, the resurrection armor is a very incredible thing.
After all, after the big swords liberated their demonic energy, their own attributes were increased exponentially, not to mention those few inmeasurable abysses, even if the single-digit ranking big swords had a two-fold increase in attributes, there really would be no difference in front of the abyss.
Fortunately, if there is no accident in the past five years, he will not encounter the existence of the abyss level, and the most important thing at the moment is to test whether the jungler knife can cause damage bonuses to demons.
……
The days of rushing are tiring, but every time he rests, Li Fang will talk to Annabelle. Or picking wildflowers on the side of the road, or telling a joke, every time he saw the smile on Annabelle's face, Li Fang could always laugh too.
So there was some fun along the way.
Occasionally, Anna would tell Li Fang what she had seen and heard when she was running around doing tasks before, and even if Anna was talking about some strange customs, Li Fang could listen very carefully.
Of course, Li Fang's favorite is the extra food that Annabelle gives him from time to time. Li Fang, who always eats dry food, soon feels weak in his mouth, and Anna will hunt some game on the way, which makes Li Fang, who carries the condiments with him, very happy! It's not delicious, but the barbecue has a special flavor either.
Sometimes Annabelle will also bake a delicious dish with her hands, she will only eat two bites, and then give the rest to Li Fang...... Of course, this is because the things that Li Fang baked were not delicious, but Li Fang was embarrassed to ask Annabelle to roast him every time, so he could only exercise slowly by himself.
……
On the morning of the fifth day, Annabelle and Li Fang rushed to the location of this mission.
It was a relatively wealthy village, with dozens of families, all of which looked like they were on a smooth road and dependent on each other.
Under the guidance of the villagers on the side of the road, the two came directly to the village chief's house.
The village chief was an old man with gray hair, but he looked quite strong, and he calmly told Annabelle about the situation in the village these days.
The village chief said that about 15 days ago, a corpse with its internal organs had been eaten up in the village.
At first, the villagers thought it was a wild beast eating people, so they hurriedly buried the corpse, but in the next few days, one person died every two days, and only the internal organs of the deceased were eaten cleanly, and the rest of the meat was not touched.
Until someone said that maybe there was a demon in the village.
The village chief managed to contact the local contact person of the organization and submitted a task to hunt down the demons in the village.
"Until three days ago, the people of the village couldn't take it anymore, so they arrested the three most suspicious people and put them in a cellar dedicated to storing grain," the village chief said with a hint of uneasiness, "The cellar is very strong, and there is enough food in it...... Since then, there has been no death in the village, and I think we must have caught it right, so ...... The last cost, hopefully a little less......"
"I'm only responsible for killing demons and bargaining, it's better for you to talk to the black-robed weirdos who came to collect money after the matter is settled." Annabelle commanded the village chief, "Take me to the cellar where the demon is kept, and hopefully there will be living people in it." ”
The village chief was frightened by the momentum of the silver-eyed witch in front of him, and hurriedly led the way.
The cellar was in the barn next to the village chief's house.
Pulling up the shielded planks, the dark, narrow staircase leads to the lightless depths below.
After waiting for a while, there was not the slightest movement inside.
"Don't go down." Li Fang stopped Annabelle from trying to go down and find out.
He turned to the village chief and asked, "Is there anything that smells pungent or pungent to the eyes?" Preferably very, very unbearable. ”
"Yes, yes." After a little thought, the village chief understood Li Fang's intention: "We have a kind of grass here that will have very spicy smoke coming out after it is lit, so I'll go find it!" ”
The village chief quickly fetched a beautiful bale of grass, and he asked Annabelle and Li Fang to stand with him upwind, and then carefully lit the bale of grass, and after a short while, blew out the flame, and threw it far under the cellar.
After a while, the village chief burst into tears.
The smoke billowed through the cellar, and soon there was an unusual noise in the cellar.
A tall black figure burst out of the cellar exit.
It was an ugly face with sobs, and as soon as it came out, it could vaguely see the direction in which the figure was standing, and then rushed over with a whoosh.
Li Fang and the village chief fled as quickly as they could, until they reached the entrance of the barn.
Annabelle didn't let the demon get closer, she stepped forward with her big sword in her hand, first swept the demon's movements with the side of the sword, and then turned around and slashed the five finger guns fired by the demon.
Seeing that his ranged attacks didn't work, the demon pounced ferociously, trying to overwhelm his opponent with his massive body and kill him.
But it's a pity that it's facing a great sword.
Annabelle didn't release the demonic energy, so she dodged the demon's pounce sideways, and then opened two blood grooves for the demon from behind, and blood splattered. The demon was still choking in his throat with a scream, and Annabelle's attack arrived.
The demon had to roll around to avoid the attack, then quickly rolled over and looked at Annabelle with a look of horror.
Only then did it realize that the human in front of it was very similar to the legendary silver-eyed witch.
After that, the injured demon didn't last long before he was drained of "health" by Annabelle's sword after sword.
Looking at the corpse of the demon and the blood-dripping sword in her hand, Annabelle thought in her heart: It seems that it is a lot easier.
