Chapter 24: Change
Outside the dilapidated thatched hut, the sun is shining after the snow.
Originally, Li Fang planned to find a small town or village so that Annabelle would have a good environment to recuperate, but the unexpected strength of the refreshing crystal actually allowed Anna's injuries to stabilize overnight and restore her basic mobility.
So Li Fang gave up the original plan and chose to stay in this grass hut until she was completely healed. After all, the big sword will have a lot of trouble if he lives in a human town, and the most important thing, Li Fang counted the change he had with him, and the time it took for Anna to fully recover was not enough......
On the other hand, Li Fang had vowed to take care of Anna these days, but apparently Annabelle, who only had no growth in her right arm, did not need to be taken care of by others, but Li Fang still relied on her in some places.
Li Fang realized this morning that if he didn't have Annabelle by his side, it would be difficult for him to even eat a full stomach.
Seeing that Annabelle didn't need himself, Li Fang was actually a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't let himself be idle as before.
Perhaps after experiencing the horror of being at the hands of the female awakened that day, realizing the importance of strength, Li Fang became very diligent in learning swordsmanship. He himself thinks that even if it is still cumbersome, it is necessary to be stronger, and even if the miracle has not happened, he must persevere!
Without training himself until he was exhausted, Li Fang didn't let himself stop, and because the Refreshing Crystal had been on Annabelle, he could only endure all kinds of discomfort after overtraining.
Pain haunted him all the time, but at the same time, it sharpened his will.
Annabelle was a little surprised at first that Li Fang suddenly practiced swordsmanship as if he had changed as a different person, but she was happy to see this change, and she didn't want Li Fang to eventually grow into an ordinary person with powerful abilities. If you don't have a spirit that matches your own strength, the stronger the power you have, the easier it is to hurt yourself.
So in the past few days of recuperation, Annabelle explained her experience and skills to Li Fang without reservation, although I don't know how much Li Fang can really learn, but at least his progress is indeed reflected little by little.
……
Such a simple and fulfilling life lasted for eleven days, because that day Kimir found them.
It took nine days for Annabelle's arm to fully recover, and because she was so concerned about the recovery, Li Fang took her newborn right hand and looked at it carefully with her left. He found that although she had been using a heavy broadsword, Anna's hands were not only calloused, but also surprisingly soft.
Just like the big swordsmen are obviously very powerful, but they are all born with slender bodies, which is incredible to ordinary people.
Stopping the practice, Li Fang looked at the man in black who suddenly appeared, only to see that Kimir was carrying a large box on his back, and there were slight traces on his body as if he had traveled a long way.
"It's not easy to find you, this is already the edge of your area of responsibility." Kimir put down the heavy big box behind his back on the spot, dusting off the dust all the way from his body, "I was also a little surprised to see the tragic situation in Wally Town, all the corpses were frozen into pieces, I thought that you had a very small chance of survival, but after investigating the scene, I didn't find your body, only a severed arm holding a big sword, to be honest, I almost thought you were dead at that time." ”
"But the trail of blood that stretches into the distance gives me a hint that you didn't expect you to be able to escape from the Awoken with a man."
Kimir looked at the intact Annabelle and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you're an offensive warrior and shouldn't be good at recovery, so why is your right arm still there?" ”
This guy is really difficult, and he really has doubts about Anna's arm, Li Fang thought in his heart, but he was not panicked, he had already had a good line with Annabelle these days.
"Maybe it's because you released a lot of demonic energy when you escaped? I don't know, I even thought I was going to wake up, but somehow I changed back. Annabelle put on a show.
She thought that this was just a reason made up by Li Fang, but she didn't know that it was actually true
"Oh?" Kimir pondered, "That's a rare example, there are almost no warriors who can come back after going beyond their limits, I didn't expect such a miraculous thing to happen to you." ”
Li Fang looked at Kimir's thoughtful expression and felt that it was not a big problem. Because he knows that the organization should have a similar record, the warriors who have exceeded the limit of the liberation of the demonic energy have not awakened for unknown reasons, and after that, not only the quality and quantity of the demonic energy will be significantly improved, the boundary of awakening will become blurred, and they will even have some skills that need to be liberated to the threshold of the awakening of the demonic energy that can be used.
For example, stretching limbs, and such as super recovery .......
The organization has no clue about intelligence and research in this area, and can only use the term "semi-awake" to define this state for the time being. Warriors who have experienced semi-awakening, and there are four of them in the future "Seven Swords", including Claire.
Kimir looked thoughtful, proving that he should have been in the know.
"I will report this matter to the headquarters, and how to deal with it depends on the ideas above." Without digging too deep, Kimir turned around and took out a complete set of greatsword outfits from the box he had brought, including armor and the greatsword with Annabelle's sword mark on it.
"I took a detour to bring the supplies, and it took a little delay, but I guess you must need it now." Kimir put all the equipment on the ground, then looked at Annabelle's unwavering expression and said, "Now, I need you to report the entire encounter with the Awakened. ”
This was what Annabelle wanted to do, and she hoped that after the organization had the information she provided, it would send a team of great swords to crusade against the female awakened.
However, the content of the report naturally conceals some things......
"That's all I know, I hope it helps." Annabelle added, "If the organization decides to crusade against her, please add me to the crusade team, I won't act as if nothing happened to the vengeance of the broken arm." ”
"Wait!" Li Fang couldn't help but speak: "You can't go, it's very dangerous and you'll die!" ”
Li Fang was anxious, there was no mention of going back to the field in the content he had agreed with Annabelle in advance! After all, no matter how weak the awakened person is, he definitely has the strength to hang down the great sword, and the one they met doesn't look like the weakest thing no matter how he looks at it.
"I can't help myself." Kimir snorted contemptuously, "The team that crusads against the Awakened is usually a warrior with a rank of less than 30, and if you go, you will only be a burden to others." If you want to seek death, it is better not to run away at the beginning, wouldn't it be convenient to die directly in the hands of that awakened person. ”
“…… Do you want that monster to continue to run amok? Annabelle remembered the bloody scene she had seen before she fled, where everyone in the square had been impaled by the Awakened, and the warm blood was splattered like rain and melted into the snow.
"Remember, the Order's attitude towards the Awakened is the same as towards the Demons, and if there is no commission, it will not take the initiative to crusade." Kimir has a tough attitude, and the warriors cultivated by the organization will not be easily lost to ordinary awakened people.
"It's better to think more about the interests of the organization than about your personal thoughts." Kimir picked up the suitcase, turned around and walked away slowly, "Since you are all right, then go to the next mission, two demons have appeared in a village in the south, and they will be there in two or three days." I hope you don't have the same bad luck this time. ”
A malicious smile appeared on the side of his face.
