Chapter 4 "Secret" Infiltration IV.
Early in the morning, Gray came out of the hotel stretching. Although he didn't sleep all night, he still has a lot of energy. He has figured out some patterns these days, and it is enough to sleep once every two or three days with the physique of an awakened person, but he couldn't sleep last night when he lay on the bed, and found that the restaurant on the first floor seemed to be still lit up, and when he came down, he saw that the owner of the inn was drinking there alone (in fact, he was emboldened).
The young boss was stunned for a long time after noticing him, and then stupidly asked himself if he wanted to have a drink? Gray just couldn't sleep, and he had long wanted to talk to the natives of this world in order to find out some useful information, so he agreed.
But then, although it was the boss named Calvin who took the initiative to invite him to drink together, he was obviously shocked when he saw Gray agree. Fortunately, the taste of the awakened is not as strange as that of the-eater, and they feel tasteless about ordinary food and drink, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome.
After another polite push and change of glass, Calvin didn't know if the wine was coming up, he was no longer so restrained, and he talked more. Unlike at the beginning, Gray asked and answered, but when he was completely drunk, he knelt down in front of him, crying that his father had just died of illness and owed a lot of debts, that the inn had no business all day, that he had just gotten married, and that he had no children.
Faced with this almost "pity me, have mercy on me" begging (begging) tone, Gray is embarrassed and doesn't know how to respond, is it because of his own generous efforts? Let him think he is rich? Then when you get out of here, pay him more "Bila".
After the two chatted like this all night, Gray could be regarded as learning a lot of information about this world from a few words. There are many suspicious things about this world, the most suspicious of which is that there seems to be no detailed "historical record" in this world, only vague myths. The record of "demons" is also covered up only in the word "since ancient times", as if demons appeared with the birth of human beings.
But this is obviously unreasonable, because if this were the case, human civilization would not have developed to the extent it is today, let alone form a unified language and writing. In addition, I have analyzed it before, this world is a typical post-apocalyptic civilization. The "demon" definitely appeared suddenly in a certain period, and the possibility of artificially created it is also very high, as for who is behind this mastermind, anyone with a little common sense can see it.
There are also post-apocalyptic novels or movies, whether it is the spread of the zombie virus or the outbreak of a nuclear war, the first to bear the brunt is the densely populated big cities, and the situation here should be similar. Combined with the fact that most of the phenomena in this world are at the village and town level, his conjecture is further verified.
And the last remaining large cities, such as Santo La Polle. It is likely that they all had some kind of secret agreement with the "organization". : The "Order" ensures that they are not infested by any "supernormal things", and will help them secretly eliminate any accidental fish that slips through the net (i.e., the covert operation in the greatsword). But correspondingly, these cities must cooperate with "organizations" to falsify history and distort perceptions.
"Hmph, Big Brother is watching you."
Gray, who had unconsciously walked to the center of the town, pursed his lips and muttered to himself. Looking up at the stone statues of gods in the center of the town, and thinking about the religion of this world, he had the impression that the local religion here was similar to Christianity, but last night he heard from Calvin's words that this is actually more like a polytheistic religion like Greece or Hinduism.
But the god of this town is a bit strange, and he looks like he is glaring angrily, and he seems to have heard Calvin say it last night, and it seems to be called ......
"This is Guardian-Godis."
Suddenly a pleasant female voice came from beside him, and Gray turned his head to look, and the woman who spoke was dressed very ordinary, a country woman's clothes are common here, and she was holding a clay pot in her arms. However, under the headscarf she wears, she has beautiful long black wavy curls, and her face is also very standard, of course, the most attractive thing is the faint smile on her face, which never fades as if she was born on her face.
"Goddis was born in Hell, but he stood up to protect humanity...... "The young woman smiled, superimposed on her original faint smile, forming an indescribable smile like a chemical reaction. The tone rhymes like a song, and he tells Gray the story of Guardian Godis.
"Claire!!"
A loud roar suddenly interjected woke up Gray, who had unconsciously fallen into this smile, and followed the sound to see that it was Calvin, the owner of the inn, whose eyes were bloodshot at the moment, and he rushed over nervously, and protected Claire behind him, although he seemed to be very scared, but still forced himself to look at him.
"Isn't this the new wife you said last night?" Gray couldn't ask Calvin with a little crying and laughing. This guy is so afraid that he will kidnap his wife? Although regardless of the human body of the male and female awakened (there are also very few exceptions, such as: Xi Luoli's concubine - Duff), they are basically very beautiful, but this does not have a charm effect, and this Claire does not look like a nympho no matter how she looks...... Wait a minute! Claire?
"That's right! It's my wife. β
Calvin stiffened his neck, and last night the mayor had him keep an eye on Gray's "demon", hoping to wait for it to fall asleep before continuing his previous actions. But I didn't expect that it didn't sleep and ran down to drink with itself, and the amount of alcohol was also scary, and when its energy and alcohol power reached the limit, it swaggered out after falling asleep in a daze.
The people who were ambushed nearby, thinking that Calvin had been killed, sent people to keep an eye on the "demon" while going inside to check the situation. After discovering that he was asleep, he hurriedly woke him up to ask about the situation, and soon after the stalking of those people ran back and said that the "demon" had arrived in the center of the town, and had met his wife, which frightened Calvin and ran over without hesitating anything.
"Claire, you go and get busy with your business first."
Calvin urged his wife to hurry up and leave, while thinking about how to deal with this somewhat stupid "demon".
Listening to her husband's resolute tone, Claire smiled apologetically at Gray and turned away. But the moment she turned around, all kinds of coincidents in the dark made Gray suddenly think of some ridiculous possibility in his mind, and opened his mouth with a strange face and asked, "Do you have children?" β
"Huh?!"
The couple looked at each other stunned, as if they didn't understand why Gray suddenly asked this. And Gray also thought of Calvin's conversation last night, and the two of them seemed to have just gotten married, so he changed the question: "I mean, if you have a child in the future, and you're a girl, what will you call her?" β
For the answer to this question, Claire seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, and smiled without thinking about the question, "Then do you need to talk about it?" Of course it isβDenissa. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In a canyon-shaped area, the giant river mussel slowly opened up, revealing the very delicate-looking mussel flesh inside, and the flesh walls were covered with dense white beads the size of a human fist. And in the deepest part of the mussel, a mass of female upper body bulged, and the golden eyes looked at the four-man crusade team that was confronting him outside.
"I'd love to catch up with your juniors, but unfortunately, I'm the type who can make a battle end in an instant."
"Coincidentally, I'm of that type too." The leading warrior's waist-length long blond supple hair was tied with a ribbon only when it was almost at the end, while the bangs parted in the middle of the forehead were combed upwards and then allowed to hang down naturally, and the sword mark on the chest read: a circle between two horizontal lines. Unlike the long-sleeved tights worn by other warriors, her tights were short-sleeved and not armoured at the wrists.
"A pretentious guy like you......" The mussel-type awakened narrowed his eyes as he watched as the other three members of the raiding party drew their swords, only the lead warrior's great sword was still stuck behind his back, and it seemed that he had no intention of drawing his sword until now. The Awakened's eyes suddenly widened, "Usually the fastest to die!" β
As he spoke, countless beads on the mussel flesh wall ejected out in an instant, forming a dizzying rain of death, sweeping away all obstacles in front of him, and even the surrounding rocks were shattered under the successive impacts. All you can see is a large cloud of smoke and dust rising from the front.
The mussel-type awakened person who felt that she was in control of the victory smiled, she was not the kind of awakened person who was stupidly waiting to be defeated, but used her own advantages to choose favorable terrain to take the initiative to attack. In this canyon-like area, there is nowhere to escape on both sides, and under their own dense barrage, it is impossible to ......
"How so!"
The river mussel-type awakened person sensed that none of the four demonic qi in front of him was missing, and at this time, the smoke and dust precipitated, making the scene in front of him a little clearer, and the projectiles were plowed everywhere, but only a shield-like object that was not large in size and was only the size of a person, and was full of cracks, was as intact as a rock.
"Whew!"
The leading warrior gasped, grinned and removed the "shield" that seemed to be on his left arm, and saw the empty flesh wall of the river mussel-type awakened, as if relieved: "Fortunately, it is something that cannot be regenerated in a short period of time." The other three warriors leaped out from behind her, swords raised and charged towards the Awoken.
"Boom!"
The mussel-type awakened person panicked, and finally caught up with a warrior's sword blade before it was about to jam the muzzle, closed the mussel shell, and listened to the continuous "clanging" sound outside. The Awakened gasped in horror: It's safe for the time being, what the hell was going on with that guy just now! Even though you haven't awakened, your arm can become like that?! Even among the Awakened, there are very few who can freely transform a part of their body into the desired form, and the only ones who are more famous are the Silver King and the North ......
"Boom!!"
The sudden impact of the heavy object outside made the awakened almost faint under the violent shock, and he looked up at the clam shell above his head in a daze, and the slightest light shone in from the spiderweb-like cracks, and before it could make any more movements, another hammer blow, the clam shell above his head shattered, exposing it to the dazzling sunlight.
"......Who the hell are you?"
"I'd love to say hello to you, but unfortunately, I'm the type who can make a fight end in an instant." The leading warrior stood with his back lit, looking down at the Awakened condescendingly, and after his right arm changed from a pointed hammer to its original form, he grasped the hilt of the sword behind his back, "But I can still tell you my name, so that you don't even know who you died in." β
The greatsword was drawn, and in the blink of an eye, under the stunned expression of the awakened, a shining arc was drawn from its neck, "I am the current NO.4 'Lucila of Everything'." β
