A bright moon is reflected in the quietly flowing stream, reflecting a sparkling cold wave.

Travelers' lit bonfires were also cast on the water, orange and silver shimmering at the same time on the calm surface of the stream.

Scooping up the clear stream water with his hands to wash away the purple blood stains that had solidified into a scab on the giant sword, Li Fang was squatting by the stream to wash away the blood stains on the sword.

The greatsword, which had been used for several years, had long been scarred, and there were many slight chips in the blade, but for its thick and hard size, it didn't affect its use much.

After washing the sword and wiping off the water stains on it, Li Fang took it to the bonfire and planted it to dry.

Joni was sitting by the fire roasting a little beast, the flesh was yellowing, the sparkling fat was dripping, and there was a faint smell of meat in the air.

Taking off the silver armor she usually wears, Joni is only wearing a white tight-fitting practice suit, her expression is very focused, but it seems to be different from the promise she made just now, she is not very good at barbecue.

The night, the bonfire and the woman in a white practice dress barbecue, the familiar scene in front of him made Li Fang a little dizzy, and he inexplicably felt a sense of relaxation and comfort.

"Come on, you're lifting a little high, and it's very slow to ripen like this." His eyes reflected a little jumping light, Li Fang smiled and took the half-cooked barbecue in Joni's hand with one hand.

That skillful technique made Joni look a little annoyed.

"If you know how to barbecue, you should have said it earlier! I've been working for so long......"

"Oh? Didn't you just promise that you could do it well? I see that you are so confident, so I take it seriously. Li Fang took out a little spice from the small bag he was carrying and sprinkled it on the barbecue, and the fragrance in the air suddenly became more attractive.

"I can't even barbecue, how did I eat when I was alone before?"

"I eat very little, and it's enough to eat wild fruits in the wild," Joni sat beside Li Fang, looking at his bright side face in the firelight: "You can buy something when you enter a certain town or village if you want to eat, but the owner of the store often doesn't dare to collect money when he buys something." ”

"Ordinary people are still very afraid of the big sword, next time remember to put the money directly in the store, it doesn't matter if you give more."

In the eyes of the world, the swords are half-human, half-demon silver-eyed witches, or silver-eyed slayers, and you can feel a strong ominous and bloody smell from their names, but in fact, they are also women with flesh and blood, seven emotions and six desires, and various personalities.

And he is also a warrior who is willing to risk his life to kill demons and indirectly protect people.

Listening to Li Fang's words, Joni said unhappily: "I've always done this, do you think I'm the kind of person who eats for nothing!" ”

"Well, it's me who is wrong, come, this is the sincerity of my apology."

Without an excuse, he tore off a piece of hind leg meat, Li Fang smiled and handed it to Joni, although he didn't know why, but this cousin, who had only met for many years, seemed to be working hard to get close to him.

Maybe it's because of the only remaining blood relative, or maybe it's just a fear of loneliness?

The life trajectory of the big swords is indeed easy to make people feel lonely, and if it is not for the strength of the heart, it is difficult to persevere.

In a distraction, the already browned meat in her hand was swallowed, Joni used her mouth to pick up the barbecue meat in Li Fang's hand like a child, she straightened her neck after biting it, and swallowed it after a few simple bites.

"I'm full, I'll reluctantly accept this apology."

The smile with embarrassment and a little sly made Li Fang a little stunned, and he didn't know what to say and said, "How do you catch it with your mouth...... Such a big person, don't look like a little girl. ”

"Because it's so interesting," said Joni, holding her cheek with one hand and tilting her head slightly, "The woman named Galadia is right, I am so lucky to have met a warrior with whom my relatives are willing to go along, and I am almost fed up with the lonely life, if you don't show up, maybe I can't help but beat the agent to vent." ”

"But I can only accompany you this way, I am going to find Anna after all. If your current strength is only to defeat demons, you should be safe. Li Fang laughed helplessly, they are now on the way to the northwest, this area is NO.35 in charge, if you go northwest, you will just pass through a little NO.47 area.

"I know...... So you have to cherish the present time," Joni moved and gently rested her head on Li Fang's shoulder, "You are in such a hurry to rush back, is that Anna the person you like?" ”

Her hand was on her chest for some time, and a little loneliness flashed in her eyes: "Will anyone like this body of our warriors?" ”

Li Fang caught the emotion in her eyes, although her body was a little stiff because of Joni's sudden approach, but when she thought that she was her cousin, she quickly relaxed.

Melting into the flesh of demons in a human body is a very risky thing, and there are many changes that will be difficult to erase after the surgery, including not only the depigmented skin and blonde hair, silver eyes, but also the scars left on their bodies.

From the lower side of the neck along the midline of the human body, down through the chest and abdomen, and until the bottom of the lower abdomen, an incision made by needles and threads was very hideously left on the body of each great sword.

This scar can't be recovered even by defensive warriors, and the only way is to unleash demonic power to awaken.

After becoming an Awoken, all of the external features of the Great Sword, including the long, narrow and terrifying incision, will disappear. Because of this scar, the swordsmen usually have a beautiful dark handkerchief on their necks with their own sword marks on them, and this part of the neck is obscured.

"Sort of...... Don't be sad, it seems to me that this scar represents the sacrifice you made to gain the power to slay demons, at least I won't mind. ”

Li Fang reached out and patted Joni's shoulder, smiling.

"Okay, get up, how do you want me to eat meat like this."

"No, that's it," Jonny said, instead putting one hand around Li Fang's arm, "If I were as strong as Galadia, you wouldn't have that expression, would you?" ”

"Huh?" Li Fang was puzzled, what was she suddenly talking about?

"Even before you met Galadia today, you said it wasn't that simple. Do you have a lot of secrets hidden in your heart, but you are afraid to say them because you are afraid or worried about something? ”

"If I had the strength of Galadia, I should be able to help you, not like today, whether it is in front of the Awakened or Galadia, I can't protect you......"

Joni's tone was a little low, and she hugged her brother's arm a little harder.

"Although I can't compare to you, I'm not as fragile as you think," Li Fang was a little moved and a little funny, he put down the barbecue in his hand, rubbed Joni's hair with a palm that still had a little smoke and fireworks, and said softly: "It's a matter of course for my brother to protect my sister, just like now, even if you pinch my arm and hurt me, I won't scream." ”

After being prompted, Joni realized that she seemed to be holding her brother's arm too tightly, so she quickly let go of her hand, and then she hugged her chest again, her eyes wandering and she didn't dare to look at Li Fang.

It was late at night, and after dinner, the two went to sleep, Joni was going back to the NO.20 area she was in charge of, and Li Fang was going to find Anna.

On this trip, there is too much news about what has happened and I have learned.
