Chapter 62: Negligence
At night, the Great Sanctuary is heavily guarded, with multiple soldiers on duty at every door that can be entered, and soldiers patrolling inside and out, making it difficult to enter without being detected through the normal passages.
Claire stood on the roof of a nearby building, watching the armor of the Great Sanctuary with eyes as cold as night. She had been prepared for this situation.
Pulling out the claw that hung from her waist, she threw it, pinning it down on the stone railing of the towering bell tower. Cloaked in the darkness of the night, Claire leaped out and swung over her head that the soldiers had not noticed.
Priest Vincent had been waiting in the bell tower for a long time, when he heard the sudden sound of footsteps falling behind him, and he turned around and saw in the faint moonlight that it was the great sword that had met him in the afternoon.
"The appointed chief, Lemoto, has come on the orders of an organization located in the land of Stave to deal with a commission from Rapoll...... There's nothing wrong with that. ”
Claire's silver eyes seemed to glow in the night, and the effect of the secret medicine had passed.
Her voice is not emotional, is it really on the side of humans?
Priest Vincent was a little frightened, so he nodded cautiously, then sorted out his words, and told the silver-eyed witch everything that had happened since the discovery of the first victim.
"Only one person died at the hands of demons?" After hearing what happened, Claire's face was full of suspicion: "According to the normal demon appetite, it should be more than enough, are there still dead people you haven't found?" ”
"Probably not, the demon only operates in the Great Sanctuary, and the garrison has found its traces many times when patrolling at night."
"Then why didn't the demon hunt for food?"
"Actually, there are also priests who reported being attacked by demons, but they were all rescued by a young garrison named Li Fang, thanks to him we have the courage to stay in the Great Holy Hall, waiting for you to come and get rid of the demons."
"yes, that sounds incredible." Claire's voice was a little surprised: "It is impossible for a human body to be an opponent of a demon, and he should be the limit to what he can do." ”
"Even so, even if we who serve the gods are unfortunately in a desperate situation, we will still have the favor of the gods, so we will not be helpless and wait for the end times."
As he spoke, Priest Vincent clasped his hands and fingers together in a prayer gesture, and his expression was very reverent.
In fact, for demons, as long as their bodies are filled with internal organs, then everyone is "equal".
"I would like to ask Your Excellency the priest who serves the gods one thing," Claire said, following the words of Priest Vincent, "when this matter is over, can you please take in the young man I am carrying?" Don't worry, he's just an ordinary teenager who followed me because his family members were all killed by demons. ”
The demon that can be stopped by ordinary people should not be very strong, Claire thinks so, but it is inevitable that she will encounter danger in future missions. She doesn't have the strength of Teresa at the beginning, and she can't guarantee that she can always protect Naki, so it's better to find a good place for him now, and live a life that ordinary people may be ordinary but won't have too many dangers.
"Let him do whatever he wants, that kid is now unaccompanied." She added.
Vincent was shocked by Clea's words, he didn't expect that the rumored half-human, half-demon, even stepping into Rapolle's forbidden big sword, would think so much about an ordinary teenager who had nothing to do with her.
And looking back on himself, without the approval of the other priests, he privately entrusted the organization and asked the big sword to come and deal with the demons. Now ask yourself, how much of this is because you are worried about your own life?
Knowing a lot, Priest Vincent agreed to Claire's request, and his attitude towards the Great Sword had changed greatly.
"Sorry...... I owe you a favor. And it's hard to say that this favor will be repaid again, because she is a taboo silver-eyed witch.
……
Her slender legs alternated rapidly on the brims, and the oncoming wind pressed the hood of her cloak against the top of Claire's head, obscuring her face.
After saying goodbye to Priest Vincent, she was on her way back.
With a leap, she was about to jump to the roof of the next house, but when she couldn't move in mid-air, suddenly three daggers shot from an inconspicuous corner and hit her in the back!
Claire froze, but still landed on the roof, and just as she was about to look up to see who had attacked, a man's rough roar came from behind.
"Ahh
The heavy sword slashed down, but it flew into the air, stirring up a small cloud of smoke and dust, and smashed a small hole in the roof. Claire dodged the blow with a deft dodge.
There is no demonic spirit, is it an ordinary person? Accustomed to perceiving demonic energy, she was accidentally attacked by ordinary people when she fought against demons.
"You know the martial law order for going out at night," said Gegu, who was fully armored, with a long sword in his hand, to the man hiding under the cloak four meters in front of him, "If you ignore this order, you will be regarded as a demon and you will not complain." ”
"That guy is very powerful, he dodged the blow you just had," Xue Du's flirtatious voice also came from another nearby roof, "But my dagger must have been shot." ”
In the face of the provocation of the two, Claire remained silent, and the organization strictly forbade the fighters to harm ordinary people.
But her attitude made the two of them who had been nervous because of the demons extremely unhappy these days, and Xue Du cooperated with Gegu to attack Claire from far and near, and cooperated very tacitly.
It's just that these attacks are useless in the face of a huge disparity in strength.
With only one dagger from Xerdu, Claire was able to block Gegu's heavy blow, while dodging Xerdu's attack at the same time.
The only thing that worked for their attack was to show Claire's face under the hood, and the two realized that their opponent was a woman.
Within a few rounds, Claire seized the opportunity to pull out and quickly jumped a few times to get far away.
Xue Du, who had already been a little angry, wanted to catch up, but one person reached out to block him.
"Li Fang? When did you come over? Xue Du looked at the young man who stood beside him at some point in confusion.
"Just now." Li Fang nodded to Gegu and said hello, and then continued: "You can't catch up with her, give up." I could see very clearly from the sidelines that it would be easy for her to take your life, but now she's just 'running away', so I don't think she's meant anything wrong. ”
"Well, and you see, this is the dagger you shot her just now," Gegu pulled out a dagger, which was as smooth as new and completely free of blood.
"Cut, what kind of monster is that woman?"
Xue Du said, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Li Fang, is this also an ordinary person but a perverted guy with strong strength.
Is it of the same kind?
Gegu actually followed Xue Du's line of sight.
"Hey, what are you all looking at me for, I don't know where she came from." Li Fang said that he didn't know anything, but Gegu Xuedu looked disgusted.
"I've known each other for a few years, but I'm sorry, I don't believe your assurances anymore." Gegu sheathed his sword and showed no mercy in his mouth.
"You see, even Gegu doesn't believe you anymore." Xue Du's eyebrows were raised, and he couldn't hide a smile, "It's okay, tell us what you know when you think it's appropriate." ”
"As for now, go back to the Great Holy Hall to be on duty, as for the fact that you left your post without permission, I should not have seen it."
“…… Good. ”
Saying goodbye to the two, Li Fang rushed back to the Great Holy Hall without delay, and after greeting the acquaintances on duty at the door, he walked in.
I thought that everything was normal during the time I was out, but I was greeted by a faint smell of blood.
Isn't it, something happened after just going out for so long?
