Chapter 24: I said I would help you
Lulunaka's footsteps were brisk, and she was humming a little tune as she walked towards Olga and the others, but Olga and the others were not as relaxed and happy as she was.
Because of Lulunaka's previous threats, Olga, who wanted to take the opportunity to leave here, was forced to stay, and Romeoona and Julius around him could only stay honestly - letting their two children who had no combat ability leave here was tantamount to sending them to death. In this forest of the dead, no one knows that some magic horse will happen in the next second, maybe a hungry beast will jump out, there may be a haunting spirit that will haunt the night, and of course, most likely, it will be a premeditated murder.
Romeona was unlucky, she was the one who was chosen to be the victim of murder, and Julius was unfortunate because he came across the murder and saw people and things that might be even more terrible than the beasts.
Now that the horrible people were dead, there was only one Pattin, whom he had scolded as vile and shameless, and the things that had nothing to do with him seemed to be over.
Because of Lulunaka's sudden accident, this girl who is seen as a witch or even a devil.
Lulunaka stood in front of Olga. Olga was standing next to Romeona, and when she saw Lulunaka coming, she hid behind Olga and looked at Lulunaka with suspicion.
"As I said, I'm here to help you. Lulunaka laughed, swinging her crosssword in front of Olga. The way she swung her sword was like that of a child holding a twig as a weapon, and the posture and expression looked childlike - even more reassuring if she didn't have a real sword in her hand. "How did I handle it? Personally, I'm very satisfied, because it's been a long time since I've done something like this to deceive and scare people. ”
"What did you do to Knight Edgar. Olga asked. Although he and Patin had only known each other for a while, and it was not enough to know what kind of person Patin was—if he had known what kind of person Patin was, he would not have agreed to him being Romeona's bodyguard, and at the same time he would have been a little more attentive—but there was only one thing he understood, and Patin should never be a person with such a depressed expression. Olga witnessed how Lulunaka hit Pattin, no matter what kind of hardship Patin had, his desire to kill Romeona was absolutely unforgivable, but it didn't mean that Olga didn't have compassion. They were both men who were born to fight, and Patin ended up with such a fate: he disarmed his armor and abandoned his sword...... Especially for a knight, this is a very serious blow, and it will even make the silver realm that he has worked so hard to cultivate take a big step back, add another layer of flaws, and there is no possibility of advancing by half a point.
Olga spits on Pattin's approach, but feels a hint of pathos at Pattin's fate.
"Mr. Edgar?" Lulunaka tilted her head, looking innocent and harmless, "but he said something, and he listened. If he doesn't listen to the reason, then I have no choice but to let him sleep here with his mercenary friends and church friends. Maybe after death, you can still be with the soldiers of the Twin Eagle Empire who are still here?"
Lulunaka smiled and said something gruesome, seemingly unconcerned about the lives of others. Olga also believed that if she really wanted to kill Pattin, she would do what she said and would not be half-false. Because she has this ability, and at the same time, there is no need to tell lies to scare people. In other words, Patin is still alive because he has succumbed, and if he is not willing to give up his pride as a knight, I am afraid that Lulunaka will immediately let his head fall to the ground.
"Master Olga, do you think Mr. Edgar is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Lulunaka asked suddenly, as if she could see through what Olga was thinking.
Olga, who had seen Lulunaka's skills, didn't seem too surprised, the girl in front of her - or a woman who seemed to be a girl - seemed to have great powers, not only a strange artificial dog, but also strange props, and the ability to guess other people's thoughts. "It's better than anything to be alive. Olga replied.
"I just like to talk to smart people like you. Lulunaka clapped her hands happily, "If Mr. Edgar had been half as smart as you, he probably wouldn't have been reduced to being someone else's dog and biting people casually, and he wouldn't have become what he is now, forced by me to give up his knighthood in order to survive...... Just now, I was actually a little angry, and I almost couldn't help but want to smash his head. ”
"Why. Olga asked.
Lulunaka covered her mouth and laughed, "It's not interesting to talk about this now, is it?" She took two steps and walked to Olga's side to look at Romeona, who was hiding behind Olga, "Why do you want to do that...... If you're asking me why I insult Mr. Edgar in this way, isn't that right, to kill innocent people, to try to kill the weak Miss Romeo, and to say things like, 'It's all for work,' and 'I'm forced.'" I think it's the right thing to do to teach such people a lesson. ”
Olga stretched out her hand to block Romeona's side, becoming a cover for Romeona, "But it seems to me that your so-called saving Miss Romeona is just a handy. Even if Miss Romeona dies suddenly, it doesn't matter to you. ”
Lulunaka smiled wryly, "That's the impression I give you...... Why is that. She looked at Romeona, and walked up to her in small steps, to Romeona. Olga didn't dare to move, so she could only reach out and block in front of Romeona, so that both Romeona and him could seek a little psychological defense, even if it was just meaningless and insignificant defense. As for Luluna, she didn't mind being held in front of her by an arm, staring at Romeona.
Two young girls, one pale and frightened, the other smiling and happy.
Seeing Lulunaka's bright eyes, Romeo turned her head sideways, not daring to look at Lulunaka again. This friend, who has known each other for less than a day, now seems so strange. The self-proclaimed alchemist, whose identity is unknown, and whose age is probably not as it seems, acts cruelly and bloody, and shatters the pride of a silver knight, forcing him to bow his head, and the end is not much better than those church knights who have their heads on the ground.
She is rescued by Lulunaka, but the presence of Lulunaka makes her feel terrified. People are always afraid of the unknown, and Lulunaka, for Romeona, is the unknown.
"Miss Romena, did you just say that?" Lulunaka laughed, "You're already a dead man...... My words may sound misleading, but it's a way to save you. ”
There was a slight confusion on Romiona's face. She vaguely sensed what Lulunaka meant, but was a little unsure.
"Why would Mr. Edgar kill you even if he signed a pact with me to lead him to the point of no return?" Lulunaka continued, "because he has a pact with him, and that pact requires him to kill the person of Romiona, that is, Miss Romiona, and by the way, the last dead Mr. Knight is also part of the contract, and requires Edgar to at least protect him." However, the binding force is relatively weak, and it was probably added temporarily later. Because of that, I've been thinking that it's easy to kill these people, but what about the next time, or the next time? There will always be a steady stream of people who will come and take your life until they decide that it's not worth it, and it's better to just declare you dead. ”
Lulunaka folded her hands to the side of her cheeks and smiled, "I think it would be better to let me do it than wait for them to come up and think that they can still use this method to declare your 'death' - Mr. Edgar killed Romeona, and the fact is already a fact, at least a contractual fact." Wouldn't it be nice to reassure those who want your life, but also to avoid annoying pursuits?"
"But I'm already dead. Romeona finally spoke, and just by making a sound, she had already used up the courage she had managed to squeeze out, "You just told me that Romeona is already a dead man...... There is no more living Romeona. ”
Lulunaka nodded, "There's a sacrifice, doesn't it? And you're free, and you don't have to be tied to the name Romeo anymore." ”
"What freedom is there, dead or alive...... You and I are not free. ”
Lulunaka was slightly surprised when she heard Romeona's words, and then laughed, "Do you remember...... But it's only yesterday, it's strange that it would be forgotten so quickly. ”
