Chapter 11: I Don't Want to Leave
During the whole day, the agent Kimir did not appear, and seeing that it was getting late, Li Fang lit a bonfire.
The flickering and jumping flames repeated infinitely, and in the dense and humid mountain forest, the whole world seemed to be left only as far as the light could reach. Li Fang was bored waiting, so he asked Annabelle how long it would take for Kimir to show up after completing the mission. As soon as the mission was over, the agent appeared out of nowhere.
The work efficiency of the agents under the command of this organization is really not good, and if you delay these times, I am afraid that the demons hiding in the crowd will eat again......
Annabelle replied that in most cases, the agent would come to him within a day or two of the completion of the mission and post a new one, and if the greatsword was seriously injured during the mission, the agent would check it, and supplies would be provided on a regular basis.
Wherever Greatsword went, the agent always seemed to have a way to find them.
Before the agent gives a new task, the big sword is on standby, staying alone in the wild, silent, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, no matter what mood he is in, just waiting for the next hunting mission. It's no wonder that many big swords look like icebergs, and there is always a sense of alienation from people.
Li Fang looked at Annabelle's side face, although Anna usually doesn't talk much, her nature should be relatively active, but the life of the big sword has changed her a lot.
It was only in the evening that the agent Kimir appeared.
He emerged from the darkness that could not be illuminated by the fire, his body was still in the same black robe, and his face was still so unbearable.
"This mission was well accomplished, and it was unscathed." Kimir sat down unceremoniously near the campfire.
He saw that the white tights on Annabelle's body were not like before, this time they were not damaged, and even the armor stacked on one side was as bright as new, without any scratches.
"It's just luck." Annabelle replied simply.
"Oh? With the strength of NO.46 in the face of five demons, you can still do it without hurting the slightest, this strength is close to the top 20. ”
When Annabelle fights with demons, except for a one-hit kill, it is a one-on-one with the demon after liberating the demonic energy, and of course she will not suffer any injuries.
"Don't you confidently say that it is four demons, so your information is so unreliable?" Li Fang didn't give this severe burn a good face.
"It has taken a lot of effort and expense for the organization to obtain this level of intelligence," Kimir explained in a very unexpected, flat tone. "But a ranking sword like NO.46 is a consumable that can be discarded at any time for the organization, and it may be more cost-effective to save this intelligence expenditure."
The corners of Kimir's mouth curled up in a hideous arc.
Agents always give people a mysterious and unpredictable image, and with that, they have a bad character. Li Fang was a little angry, but he understood that Kimir had deliberately said it to him.
It's like teasing a small child.
"Say whatever you want, you don't need to have fun with ordinary people." Annabelle looked at Kimir coldly.
"Actually, I'm a little curious about how you do it, maybe you can learn something. The people of Kira disposed of the demon's corpse too cleanly. ”
On the one hand, the history of the organization is not very long, and the use of the great sword has not been dug deep enough, and on the other hand, because of the limitations of the times and the lack of clues, Kimir can't guess the obviously simple night attack and decapitation operation.
To put it simply, this is still an era of positive habits.
Many big swords are very strong in their own right, so solving problems is brute force, like holding a hammer in your hand, and everything looks like a nail.
"It's a bit of a brain," Kimir guessed, "a weak broadsword that can deal with demons with brute force will generally live a little longer, and it seems that this kid has some influence on you, too." ”
He glanced at Li Fang on the side, and then said, "My hard work may not be so necessary." ”
"What did you do?" Annabelle asked.
"If it goes well, in one or two more missions you will be transferred to a lower ranking area of the Great Sword."
“…… Is it really you? ”
"It's really me." Kimir said in a solemn tone, "Then would you like to tell me how you managed to complete the crusade against the five demons without harm?" ”
"Nope." Annabelle refused very simply.
Kimir laughed and said coldly: "Of course, I didn't apply to the organization for this matter, it's just that a few of the newcomers are relatively good and have come up in the rankings." ”
Knowing nothing more to hear from Annabelle, Kimir got up and wanted to leave.
"The next task is in the second village in the southeast, if you go by yourself, it will only take two days, and if you continue to take this child, I am afraid it will take four or five days." Kimir turned around and sneered: "And in these two days of delay, those two demons will eat at least one more innocent person." ”
Li Fang had a calm face: "Your agent is so disgusting, isn't there anything that the big sword can't stand it." ”
"I know this very well, but it is my choice to take him with me, and are there fewer people who died innocently in the organization?" Annabelle frowned, the words brought back some bad memories for her.
"Heh," Kimir didn't say much, and before he walked away, he left a sentence: "That kid is right, recently a warrior betrayed the organization, but the organization has sent several warriors with multiple rankings to crusade, betraying the organization, it is a good way to take death......"
This sentence gave Li Fang enough hints.
In Teresa's era, there was only one person who betrayed the organization and needed the plural ranking of the great swords to crusade, Teresa herself!
At this time, Teresa had already formed a deep relationship with Claire, and Teresa also violated the organization's ban in order to protect Claire and had to defect.
Now, Claire is still a little girl, and Priscilla hasn't woken up yet, can I change anything?
Probably nothing at all......
Considering that the lag of news in this era should be very serious, maybe the news that Kimir said was a month or two ago, and even if he still has time, he can rush to the NO.1 area and find them in time? How can you convince Teresa not to show mercy to Priscilla's men, who are still innocent and innocent?
In the final analysis, it is because I am not much different from ordinary people now, and what I say does not have enough weight. Li Fang felt sad and very pity.
I finally came to this world, but I couldn't stop the source of tragedy from the beginning.
Claire's revenge may really be unavoidable. It's ridiculous that what I was planning at the beginning tried not to affect the plot...... There's no power that can affect the direction of the plot at all.
Seeing that Li Fang had been pondering, Annabelle looked impatient and sad, and couldn't help but put her hand on his forehead and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
"No, it's nothing, I'm just stunned by that Ji or something's words," Li Fang's thoughts were interrupted, and he quickly thought about how to explain it: "Could it be that Anna said that NO.1 betrayed?" It's really surprising, after all, it's NO.1. ”
Although the random explanation sounded reasonable, Annabelle was not fooled.
"Yes, do you regret following me?" There was a pause in her speech.
"Not only do I eat and sleep in the open air, but I also have to be scared when I have a task...... It's really hard for you. ”
"You know, it won't be long before I go to an area with fewer demons, and the set of actions you came up with will help me a lot, so I should be able to live well without your ability."
"If you want to return to the life of an ordinary person now, I will find you a good family."
Annabelle said a lot in a row, she cared about the child's thoughts, although she had only known him for a month, but during this time, she no longer had the depression of walking alone.
"I've been following you, not just because you saved my life, not just because you want to make me stronger, but the main reason is that I want to follow you! Anna, I don't want to go anywhere else, I don't want to go anywhere else as long as I'm by your side. ”
