Chapter 258: Footsteps on the Long Street
The story of the acquaintance with Octavia had already been told to the Great Swords on the way back, and like a story, Miriya and the others were surprised that the Awakened had figured out a way to live a prosperous life in human society.
Li Fang and Annabelle met Octavia before the Northern Expedition began, and saw the Awakened as a potential helper. Although they had been hiding this from the Great Swordsmen since then, they did not have the twins on their side at that time, and they were on the weak side, and Li Fang and Anna were also worried that they would not be able to accept cooperation with other Awakened ones, so they made this decision.
After the matter was said, the big swords didn't mind too much, and Li Fang, who was originally heavy in his heart, couldn't help but feel strange and asked the reason, but the answer he got was a very heartfelt sentence.
If they were faced with the situation at that time, they would probably make the same choice.
Later, Li Fang learned that the appearance of Livre Road during the attack on the organization was also known in advance, no wonder they were also very calm at that time, and asked about the source of the news, but they didn't expect that Ophelia guessed it and revealed it to Flora......
In the city of La Polle, the Corner Lodge Inn.
In the living room on the first floor, which is not spacious, Li Fang is talking to Ophelia and Luciella, and next to him are sitting two awakened people who are temporarily saying goodbye to their internal organs.
"That's the general situation, the two of them have been living here for the past few days."
Seeing that Miria couldn't help herself, Li Fanghe and Annabelle returned to Rapolle first, and of course brought Ricarudo and Octavia with them.
The two women who have been swords and awakened are obviously not afraid, and Luciella is even more like Octavia, the corners of her mouth have always been decorated with a lady's smile, but her smile is a little seductive and dangerous, while Octavia is much gentle.
"How dare you do it." Ophelia shook her head and sighed, "This is the densely populated city of Rapoll, are you really not afraid of accidents?" ”
"Miss Ophelia, even in normal times, it won't make much difference to us if we don't eat for ten days and half a month," Octavia's eyes looked at each other, her voice like honey, "Maybe you should have more trust in the power that will make you human again." ”
"Trusting in someone else's power is often a big risk." Luciella replied, "But as far as you can see the situation, you've already won half of this gamble. ”
"Yes, it's destined to not be back in equilibrium, and in the future, even if the small animals that are not strong enough in the future, they will not be able to escape the minions of the beasts in the end."
"Compared to this, your original intention is very reckless." Luciella looked at Ricarrudo, who had been silent.
"Hmph, I just need more strength, I don't care about the rest." Ricarudo had long understood Octavia's intentions, and when he saw the Greatswords' expanded village with the support of the Church, he had already understood that a new order had been born, and that they, the awakened of the "old era", were not accepted by the new order.
But so what? When his promise was betrayed, he was already tired of it, and although the bottomless life was precious, he couldn't bear the boring life. Now Isli is undoubtedly the biggest shackle in his heart, defeat him, or be killed by him, maybe you can break free from the boring life.
"Alright, here's the key to your room, keep it safe." Annabelle walked in from outside the room, two brass-colored keys hanging from her fingertips, and gave them to Ricarudo and Octavia, "When the matter on Miria's side is over, we will set off, and if there are any needs these days, we can directly say what we need, thanks to the great nobles of Toconald, our family has enough money to spare." ”
There was a hint of unhappiness in Annabelle's eyes, and Octavia was quite angry when she heard the news from Conrad, although she could understand his helplessness as an ordinary person, but this vacillating attitude had made Annabelle completely disappointed in him.
"It's not too early today, let's go to Conrad tomorrow." Li Fang said Octavia, who had the key in his hand.
"Okay, but it's just a poor creature living on fantasy, so there's no need to be so serious."
"It's only convenient for you to come forward to do things." Li Fang replied simply.
"Then I don't know what to do tomorrow, so it's up to you." Octavia didn't care what happened to Conrad.
……
The slanting light of the setting sun on the side of the street gradually faded by the night, the crisp footsteps of the iron boots walking gradually became clear on the long street, and the door of the corner hut was gently pushed open by a bare hand.
"Xiaofu? How did you guys get here? Ophelia, who was holding a plate, leaned out of the kitchen and saw the two men who had unceremoniously pushed the door in.
"I'm just coming to take a look, and I'm going to visit Priest Vincent later, and if there's a demon commission, I'll need to do it." There was some worry in Flora's eyes, but she smiled.
"I just didn't worry about my sister coming here, and I didn't have any other purpose." Lavana also walked into the house, and without looking too much, she walked directly to the kitchen.
"I don't need to help, it's already crowded here, just sit outside and rest for a while." Luciella's command came from the kitchen, these days she lived with Ophelia, and she finally recovered her normal sense of taste, so she naturally couldn't stand the other party's very ordinary craftsmanship, so she was forced to cook by herself.
Luciella hadn't gotten the money promised by the nobles for the exchange of assets, otherwise she would have moved out a long time ago according to her character.
Suddenly, there was the sound of Li Fang and Anna frolicking in the kitchen, and then I saw Li Fang running out with a smile on his face, and there were some droplets of water on his face.
"It's not convenient for me to be in there, Lajuana, you can go in."
Glancing playfully, Lahana patted Li Fang on the shoulder and walked in with a smile.
"What are you all doing standing, sitting?" Wiping the mess off his face, Li Fang pulled over a bench.
The two of them who were speechless suddenly became apparent.
"No, it's not early, I have to go back in the evening." Flora hurriedly looked away, the emotions in her eyes were not yet hidden.
"Well, you can stay here tonight, they can sense your location and won't worry." Ophelia still had the plate in her hand.
“…… Look at the time, I'll go first. She turned to leave.
"Flora, now the commission from the church can be handed over to someone else." Li Fang pondered: "Although there is no organization now, it will still be more and more troublesome if you are all responsible for it alone." ”
"The church can't tell if it's a demon or an awakened person who is tasked with the cleanup, and it's troublesome to get it wrong." Flora turned around and said helplessly, "But don't worry, Miria has already made arrangements, and we will try to bring back the corpse of the demon in the future." ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for you."
"Hmm." Flora lifted her leg and stepped out of the doorway.
"Get it for me!"
Ha? Li Fang shook his head, and his hand was stuffed into the plate by Ophelia.
And she ran after Flora's back, and the sound of her footsteps on the long street quickly mixed with the crunch of iron boots.
