In the morning, when the sky was not fully bright, in the village of Piro, which was not far from the town of Hammel, which was at the transportation hub, a sneaky figure walked along the wall, tiptoed to the corner not far from the entrance of the village, and after carefully taking a look at the entrance of the village, he quickly pulled back and ran back, facing the door-to-door with the windows slightly open on both sides of the street waiting for news, the young man opened his mouth wide but did not dare to make a sound, and only announced with his mouth: She is still there.

'How long will she stay......?' in a silent lament, a question that the whole village would probably want to know.

Three days ago, an "eccentric" greatsword came to the outside of Piro's village, as for why she said "weird", because she looked very downcast? You must know that they have seen down-and-out wanderers, and they have also seen passing great-swords, but this is the first time they have seen down-and-out great-sword.

Unkempt and sloppy appearance, the original plain tights on his body looked extremely dirty after being stained with mud, and there were many damaged places, and there were even black and red blood stains left on the hands and ankles, and the mirror armor on the vital parts seemed to be dull as if covered with a layer of gray. Her greatsword was not behind her back, but she held it in her arms awkwardly, and her hands hung strangely as if they were broken.

This remnant of the defeated sword did not enter the village, but sat down at the entrance of the village against the remnant parapet, and sat down until now, without eating or drinking these days, if it were not for the fact that she was still breathing, it really made people suspect that she was dead. During this period, the village chief also stepped forward to ask her purpose and the like, but this "silver-eyed witch" always bowed her head and hugged Jian Li and ignored it...... For a few days, although she just sat there and didn't get in the way, such a half-demon blocked the entrance of the village all day long, and the villagers couldn't get used to it anyway.

In this unusually quiet early morning, there was a sudden sound of gradual footsteps from afar, and at the window on the second floor of the house closest to the entrance of the village, a villager with a mustache opened the window a little wider, and followed the prestige, only to see that in the thin morning mist, the silhouettes of two tall figures were becoming clear as the distance approached......

Is it finally here? ’

Canaan, who was sitting at the entrance of the village, raised his head and forced a smile as if relieved. These days, she has been thinking hard about how to kill the awakened one all the time, but her mind seems to have entered an unsolvable dead loop, and she has tried all the methods, even if she even considers her own awakening...... But the result seems to be repeatedly verifying the last words of the awakened person: I can't do it.

Now that I think about it, I didn't choose to go to an inaccessible place to regroup, but I made a ghost to appear in the town near the "forbidden area" and stay until now, probably deep down I have long realized this result, but because I was too unwilling to end myself, so I wanted to die by the hands of the chasing warriors......

The pursuit team composed of NO.1 and NO.9 stopped not far in front of Canaan, Leto, who was the "eye", looked at the former NO.2 and now this decadent appearance, sighed in his heart and turned his head to look at the reaction of the new NO.1 Lucila, she seemed to have no intention of making a move. Also, killing a person who has no intention of resisting at all is too ...... for NO.1

Then let me do it. After making up his mind, Leto grasped the hilt of the sword behind his back with one hand, stepped forward, and forced a cold-blooded and ruthless tone, "Canaan the betrayer! On the orders of the organization...... "Leto just wants to end all this as soon as possible, and this is the first time she has done this kind of thing, although she is also very resistant and disgusted, but thanks to the identity of "eye", I am afraid that this kind of errand will definitely be indispensable in the future......

Just as Leto pulled out the big sword, Lucila suddenly strode in front of her, and stretched out an arm to block her chest, after stopping Leto's movements, the arm was raised in front of Leto's eyes, and the white hand pinched two billa, "Sister Leto, please go buy some water and food first." ”

"Huh?!" Leto looked at Lucilla in confusion, and then looked down at Canaan on the ground with a haggard and emaciated face and chapped lips, and immediately realized what Lucilla meant.

"Lucyla, do you know what we're here for?" She didn't think it was as simple as Lucilla trying to make Canaan a full ghost before she "hit the road".

"I know." Lucilla closed her eyes and nodded, then reopened her eyes and turned to look at Leto, "But I'm not going to kill my companion without knowing anything." ”

"Do I just want to?!" Leto suddenly became angry, pushing Lucila away from the arm in front of him, "But this is the order of the organization-"

"Even if it is an order from the organization, it may not be absolute." Lucilla looked directly into Leto's eyes calmly, "Many times, we need our own judgment and choice. With that, he handed Billa to her again, "Please." ”

Leto had an expression of disbelief and kept shaking his head slightly, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”

"I just want to know what's going on?"

"You ......" Leto no longer knew what to say. Since she joined the organization, she has already figured out a set of ways to survive as a warrior, the most important of which is: don't know what you shouldn't know, let alone do superfluous things......

Lucira then handed her the Billa in her hand again.

"......" Leto didn't say anything this time, just snatched Billa and walked towards the village with her eyes flickering, she already felt that something was wrong...... This may not be Lucilla's sudden move, after all, the organization is now in an "extraordinary period" when high-end combat power is empty...... And all I have to do now is ......

"Sister Leto, the hotel is over there."

Leto, who was secretly gathering demonic energy and planning to flee by the way, suddenly shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and glanced at the nearby hotel. I stood there and weighed it, and finally sighed, and reluctantly went in to buy something. After all, she is not known for her speed, and her endurance is average, and her combat effectiveness, if there are no "specialty" bonus points of "wide-range demonic energy perception" and "demonic qi tone", it is estimated that there will be a question mark whether she can score a single digit.

After Lucira watched Leto enter, she squatted down and looked at Canaan, who had no reaction from beginning to end: "I'm NO.1 now, don't you have anything to say about it?" ”

"You don't have to provoke me." After not drinking water for several days, even with the body of a warrior, Canaan had a hoarse voice at this time, and said that he couldn't even make a sound in some places, and said in a breathless voice, "It doesn't matter who is NO.1 now." ”

"Is the awakened one who killed Sistina strong?" Lucilla looked at Canaan's messy blonde hair, Canaan, who used to pay great attention to appearance, no matter what she saw her, she took care of the seemingly cumbersome and cumbersome hair of the people on the side.

"Why are you ......" Canaan's expression was finally not the kind of loveless numbness, just because he obviously didn't say anything, but Lucilla seemed to know everything.

"It's not that hard." Lucyra looked down at the ground, as her agent was a "mouthless" guy and that she had been keeping an eye on a certain Awakened, "I heard about Sistina...... I knew you were going to do that, because you're her only friend. ”

"I'm not her friend! Ahem......" Canaan's justification was too anxious, causing a cough. Faced with this situation, Lucila smiled silently, and asked a little narrowly, "It's not a friend who can do this, you're telling me that your relationship is beyond 'friends'?" ”

"Whew...... What nonsense are you talking about! Canaan's cheeks burned. Since the soldiers are all women nowadays, and they are in that completely closed environment during the training period, coupled with the hellish training and the fear of the future, it is not uncommon for the fighters to have "super friendship" and comfort each other, but she and Sistina really have that kind of relationship.

"I'm talking about 'lifelong rivals.'" Lucira blinked, as if curious, and asked, "It's you, where are you thinking again?" ”

"......" Canaan's face turned a little redder at this time, and he gritted his teeth and stopped talking.

Fortunately, Leto also came back with a paper bag in one hand and a clay pot in the other. Lucilla thanked her, took the items, and handed the clay pot to Canaan. But Canaan turned a blind eye in silence.

"What's the matter, do you need me to feed you?" Lucira crouched down and pressed the spout almost to Canaan's mouth. Faced with this situation like coaxing a child, Canaan, whose self-esteem was still there, had no choice but to take it aside, but looked down at the water in the clay pot, her chapped and white lips moved up and down unconsciously, and the thirst of not drinking water for several days finally made her unable to suppress her body's instincts.

Lucila watched with a smile as she drank almost a jar of water, then took out a paper bag of bread and handed it to her, probably feeling that she had "broken the vows", this time Canaan didn't bother anymore, and directly took a big bite and chewed and swallowed. After patiently waiting for her to take one last bite, Lucilla suddenly asked, "If the three of us join forces, will we be able to take out the Awakened?" ”

'Three? Do? And don't count me in without permission......' Leto, who was standing behind in embarrassment, almost wailed in his heart.

And Canaan, who was originally a little refreshed after eating, flashed a sudden brightness on his face after hearing this proposition. Indeed, all her ideas and tactics are limited to herself, and she has never considered "teamwork". But she only thought about it for a moment, and then she shook her head with a gloomy expression.

"Is it so strong?" Lucilla frowned and muttered to herself.

"That's not a matter of strength." Canaan seemed to recall the weakness of the moment, and the hand on his knee almost scratched the skin, "It'...... It seems to be able to control the warriors it kills. ”

“！！！” As soon as these words came out, Lucilla and Leto's expressions changed drastically.

"No wonder the Order has designated it a 'no-go zone,'......" Leto muttered to himself, followed by a toothache from knowing something he shouldn't know. And Lucila in front of her reacted much greater, and after standing up suddenly, her face was cloudy and she stood for a long time, and finally seemed to have made up her mind, bowed her head as if talking to herself, and said as if she was making a statement, "This matter is not trivial, I must find out for myself." ”

"Don't you believe me?! If it even ...... Sistina"

"I'm not out to go head-to-head with it." Lucilla took out a small oval pot from her pocket, which was a 'souvenir' for the just-concluded Holy Capital mission, and since the whole mission process was very smooth, there were still a lot of "secret medicines" left.

The organization can be said to be extremely lax in the control of the "pills" that can "hide the demonic energy" and temporarily change the color of the pupils, and for the fighters who perform the "secret operation", it is a pot by giving it, basically not counting, and there is no intention of recycling it afterwards, and the soldiers rarely take the initiative to turn it in, and most of them will choose to stay silently......

At the same time, she also subconsciously touched her chest, the 'letter of introduction' hidden close to her, "This is a 'secret investigation', and it will not ......be found out."

"It's just—" Lucilla suddenly turned her head to look at Leto, and after scaring Leto into taking a step back unconsciously, "I need to trouble you to 'accompany' Sister Leto during this time." ”

"What are you going to do after the investigation?"

"If everything is as you say." Luhira stared directly at Canaan's silver eyes, as if to reassure her, "The Order may be able to ignore it, but we can't!" ”

"Okay." Canaan stood up with his sword in his hand, and his eyes crossed her to Leto, whose face was getting more and more ugly, "I will 'accompany' NO.9 well." ”

"You, you ......" Leto only felt a tightness in his chest and suffocation, this is really a veritable disaster, how could an originally simple recovery task develop to such a point? Yes, who would have thought that the new NO.1 that he was relying on would come against himself together with the target NO.2.

"In addition to 'eye', I hear you have a title." Canaan, who hadn't moved for a long time, swung his greatsword a few times, and then inserted the greatsword back into the sword frame behind his back, "'Cautious Leto', I only hope you are worthy of this title - don't do stupid things." ”
