Chapter 118: A Woman with a Special Case
Most of the buildings in the city are not very tall, so you can see the outermost tall walls when you walk through the streets.
A tall and sturdy wall always gives the people who live in it a sense of security, even if it is a waste to build it that high.
Li Fang has traveled from the flow of people, and the information that Archbishop Gamori said just now is still circling in his mind, it turns out that the church has such a plan, but why is it not mentioned in the original plot? Is it the end of the disease?
Looking at the pedestrians and the city wall in the distance, Li Fang couldn't help but feel an illusion in his heart, as if all the people in Rapoll were living in a place that was obviously crumbling but confident and safe.
After all, the city walls can't protect against demons and the awakened......
Because he didn't know where Annabelle and Liv Road had walked there now, Li Fang went straight back to the corner hut.
When I walked there, I found that the door of the corner hut was closed from the inside, and it was unlocked, so they must have returned.
Li Fang opened the door, it was quiet and empty, who came back first?
There was no one on the first floor, Li Fang came to the second floor and saw a door open.
It was Ophelia's room.
There are a few things I still need to confirm with her.
Standing outside the room, Li Fang was about to knock politely on the door, when he saw Ophelia lying on the wooden table by the window, the end of a white quill peeking out of her right shoulder, the end of which kept shaking.
In the afternoon sun, her back seemed to be a little thinner than it had been when they first met, and it seemed that Ophelia, as Candace had said, had to work hard to copy theological books in order to make ends meet.
And the small wooden table that was originally used for meals was used as a desk.
Knock knock.
A gentle knock on the wooden door brought to a halt the quill that was shaking in Ophelia's hand.
"Why did you come back alone? Anna and ...... What about Lily? ”
"They're going to go somewhere else, and they're going to buy what they need for dinner." Ophelia turned to the side and said with some surprise, "You're back so soon?" ”
"Well, I met my old friends, and I also delivered Candace safely by the way, but I came back first if I had nothing to do."
Oh?
Ophelia showed a curious expression, she put down the quill in her hand, put her right arm on the back of the wooden chair, put her chin on her right arm and said, "Tsk, I don't know if you are pretending to be stupid or really don't know, that little girl has your shadow in her heart." ”
It was only because the precepts of the church forbade such things that she secretly suppressed this immature feeling. Do you just want to hang her all the time? If you respond, maybe she'll be back to being a normal person. ”
Originally, I wanted to ask her something, but now she was the one who was asked. Li Fang shook his head helplessly.
"I've made an agreement with Anna that I won't be able to take care of anyone else."
He was already used to living with Annabelle, and it would be very uncomfortable to think about it if there were suddenly multiple people.
Although polygamous families are not blamed in the minds of people in this world, people still traditionally live in a monogamous way.
"Hmm...... Single-mindedness is a good thing. Ophelia shrugged helplessly, "But she looks a little pitiful like that, why don't you find a chance to break her mind?" ”
"You've only known each other for a short time, have you already had a good relationship to this point?"
"I can see it." Ophelia said as her wrist suddenly shook very softly and flexibly.
It's something left over from when it was a great sword?
Her eyes kept looking at Li Fang, but she still didn't give up waiting for an answer.
"If the time is right, I will...... However, now is not the time to fall in love. Li Fang didn't enter the room, only stood against the wall.
"You've probably guessed it, Anna."
"Yes, the Awoken." Ophelia nodded, and her tone became flattened: "If it was a reclusive warrior, it would be impossible to have so many secret medicines. ”
"But don't worry, although you don't know you well, I guess you're not the kind of guy who can tolerate the Awoken eating people. Is it because of those special abilities of yours? ”
"Well," Li Fang replied affirmatively, "Anna has never eaten offal, and she has always wanted to become a human again, just like you did back then." ”
"But we had doubts about it. After you, by coincidence, I resurrected another great sword...... But after she woke up, she still had demonic power in her body, and she did not turn back into an ordinary person. ”
"So I want to ask if the half of your body before your resurrection is a human or an awakened person."
This matter is very important, it can be said that it is one of the most important things for Li Fang and Annabelle to return to Rapoll this time, even if he does not happen to have the opportunity to talk to Ophelia alone today, Li Fang will find a chance to understand her clearly.
"She didn't turn back into a human, I really don't know whether to call her lucky or unlucky." Smiling lightly, Ophelia said truthfully: "I don't know, at that time, I just tried to gather the parts that felt like human beings, and I was surprised that I could become like that in the end." ”
After coming to the Great Sword World for so many years, Li Fang had never seen an Awakened person who could concentrate the human part of his awakened body except for Ophelia.
Or that there is a human part in the body of the awakened is a very strange thing in itself.
Could it be because Ophelia's ears are spiky like elves?
Li Fang recalled the information that the archbishop had said, that some races would have special abilities.
“…… What was on your mind at the time? Will it be like when the great swords fuse the demon flesh and blood, because of the different inner thoughts, there will be different results? Frowning, Li Fang asked next.
"If I have to say it, I guess the idea of not wanting to be an awakened person is very strong." Ophelia said helplessly: "And how could I be in the mood to think about this at that time." ”
It seems that nothing was asked.
If Ophelia's situation is taken as a special case for the time being, then in the other two use cases, Candace is still human, and Aihua is still a greatsword, that is, will it change back to its original pre-resurrection appearance?
You have to wait until the next time you have the opportunity to test whether your hypothesis is correct.
"I see, thanks." Li Fang said: "Sorry to bother, it's okay now anyway, do you need me to help you copy a little?" I'm still very confident in my writing. ”
Ophelia shook her head again and again, "No, no, this is my job." In addition, don't be so polite, no matter how you think about it, I owe you more. ”
"Okay, but it looks like there's a lot more, do you want to continue tonight?"
"I only do these things during the day, and it is quite a waste of money to light candles at night and not say that my eyes are uncomfortable."
It is hard to imagine that the cruel and neurotic man in the past would have this appearance of worrying about the cost of lighting candles at night.
It's really changed a lot.
