Verse 12: The oath cannot be broken

Maya dragged the little chair over, and as before, the little leopard girl sat down on the chair, drew the knife from the knife holder on one side, and began to peel the potatoes.

The thick tail on the other side curls behind him, and he will flick happily from time to time.

Father said today that he was going out once, and he had a job that required him to go to nearby Salama City, so it was time for Brother Marin and Maya to stay together recently.

The father left enough money for the two children to live well, and he also reported to the church, so there would be no problem in thinking about it.

My brother has been studying in the church recently, and he must be making himself stronger.

With this in mind, the wind chimes on the windowsill automatically became windless.

Maya raised her head, first confused, then dropped the knife and potatoes in her hand, and ran to the door quickly, only to see that the beautiful mahogany door was frosting.

The cat girl quickly pulled out a chain buckle from the door lock and fastened it into the buckle on the door frame, and then the cat came to the window without stopping, and looked out of the window that was no longer clear, she lowered the curtain, and the silver curtain chain and the curtain board with the sigil had a faint silver light.

The temperature in the room began to drop.

The cat girl quickly picked up the lighter, lit the small fire on the dining table in the center of the living room, then the fire in her own room, hung the hanging board behind her door to the door of her father's room, and then looked at Marin's door, Maya finally scratched her finger and drew the sigil that her father taught her.

"Serve God with sincerity, and nothing should be done."

Catgirl lowered her head, took out a small silver kettle from the hidden compartment under the table, poured the wine into her mouth, and then connected the spout with her mouth to let the wine flow back into the pot, and then carefully poured it into the storage opening of the fire.

The whole room was frosting.

There was no sound of footsteps in the hallway, and the walls twisted and deformed from time to time, but in the end, none of these weirdness broke through anything that my father had laid out before.

As Maya breathed a sigh of relief, the small wall clock on the wall fell and slammed into the floor.

Looking at the hour hand above, Maya suddenly thought of a very serious problem.

My brother doesn't have a class this afternoon, he'll be back.

………………

"Good job, boy, in three months, you can already have a few tricks with me in front of me." Halfling Instructor Carmo was always nagging like usual, and for the sake of this lady, Marin felt that it was nothing.

Besides, according to the intelligence, the reason why this lady targeted herself in the first place was also hidden, and after learning about her tragic past, Marin felt that there was no need to target her.

After all, she lost her entire family in the incident, and she had more than enough reason to question a paranoid genius.

Putting the wooden short sword in his hand back into the weapon rack, Marin glanced at the wall clock on the wall of the training room: "Ma'am, I'm going back." ”

"Hey, why are you like those old men, always thinking about going back, I heard that your father has gone to Salman City, if it's okay, just eat here at the church and then go back." The halfling lady said so retentively.

In this regard, Marin smiled and shook his head: "My sister is waiting for me at home." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, your sister has a good older brother. When the lady had finished speaking, she turned and threw it away, and the short stick in her hand fell steadily into the little bucket beside her, and became the object of the bucket like her companions.

"My father went to work in other places, and I, as an elder brother, always had to take care of my sister." Marin said as he walked over to the hanger, took off his coat and gun holster, hung the latter on himself, and buckled the chest ring to his chest, and the small, thin silver-plated chest guard was fastened to the gun cover.

Putting on his coat, Marin glanced at the other side of the training room: "Those are ......"

"It's considered to have come before you, but it's not as good as you in terms of progress, the kid with the big sword I told you last time is inside, and it's the kid with the thickest neck."

With her guidance, Marin immediately noticed the one with a meaty face.

Is this a child? This development is too advanced, the arms are thicker than Marin's waist, and they look at least a meter...... One meter nine?

"Don't you think he's big, yes, he's a half-blood giant."

"Then he shouldn't be unable to carry the great sword." Marlin glanced at the wooden greatsword on the weapon rack.

"The giant's weapon is over there, the pure iron one, and the one who trains with him is also a half-blood giant, and the normal instructor is only responsible for teaching him the basics." Speaking of this, the halfling lady straightened her chest proudly: "For example, I taught him his first lesson. ”

Marin rolled his eyes, it seems that you are deliberately making things difficult for the real guy who has waved hundreds of times.

Although he saw through it, there was really no need for Marin to say goodbye to Ms. Carmo, Marin walked out of the training room, entered the front hall through the normal corridor, and said goodbye to the young lady of the Morvis family who was in charge of dealing with people in the front hall today, and Marin walked out of the church.

Recently, Marin learned thirteen one-ring techniques and four two-ring techniques, and then the instructors who taught the techniques felt that they could not let him grow so savagely, so they decided to let Marin learn to use these techniques flexibly before teaching new ones. At the same time, they were not idle, and began to teach Marin about spirits and xenomorphs.

Under their teaching, Marin knew that in this world, spirits belong to the aborigines, they are horrors that have existed since the history of mankind, although terrifying, but at least they are also native species, everyone knows the roots, loves and kills each other, and it can be said that they are the most familiar enemies with each other.

It's different, it's from a foreign landβ€”the same paternal bloodline owner of Marin's shell.

The Church has not been idle for these three months, and they have confirmed the 'origin' of several bloodlines on Marin's body, except for the mysterious bloodline that dominates him, the other bloodlines are the bloodlines of the aborigines.

This means that Marlin is a true half-breed.

Of course, this kind of hybrid is a good thing for Marin, because this bloodline has the ability to strengthen the blessing system, which means that the owner of this bloodline is at least not a terrifying xenomorph - if Marin's paternal bloodline is like an outland traveler who strayed into this world, then the xenomorph is aimed at the bandits of this world, it doesn't matter whether it is breaking through the empty door or not, as long as it can enter, as long as it can bring corruption and evil to this world, for them, spreading destruction and destroying the world is the only meaning of their lives.

As such, they are even more dangerous than spirits, as some of them can at least speak human words and guide them to good.

Alien species do not speak human words, do not do things, they can only bring destruction and destruction to the world.

But then again, in their eyes, human beings are treated equally, and the only difference between a millionaire and a beggar on the street is taste.

Of course, xenomorphs generally rarely appear, and more in the eyes of the world are spirits, and there are two major categories of spirits, one is tangible spirits, such as the cutting girl that Marin has seen; The other category is the Invisible Spirits, such as...... Ghost.

Marin almost broke out when he heard this.

Invisible Spirits?! Ghost?!

Wait a minute! The low-magic world, which was still hardcore just now, suddenly became so hardcore and so fantastic!

Compared with tangible spirits, invisible elves are more troublesome, because they have no body, can ignore the barriers of buildings, and are extremely difficult to detect, for them, there is no small space, passing through walls is the most standard way to move, as for possession and curses are commonplace, spirits directly touching the human body, it will bring a series of problems, and this is their main way of attacking.

If you want to deal with spirits, silver weapons are commonly used, silver powder and blessing powder can make it manifest, and it is said that some lamps that can emit purple light can also make it manifest, and all three items can cause damage to it, with silver powder causing the most damage to invisible spirits.

Marlin had been able to discern the lamp for a long time when he had obtained it, and finally determined that it was an ultraviolet lamp, and the reason for this was because the formless spirits never appeared in any area that came into direct contact with sunlight when the sun was shining - otherwise the lamp would not have been able to deal with those formless spirits.

The teachers also taught that if you encounter a spirit, you should first confirm it...... Marin glanced at the door of his apartment that he had closed behind him, and he pushed it, only to find that it was not moving.

First, check the type of spirit.

Marin took out a flashlight from the tool pocket on his waist and held it in his hand, and his right hand reached under his armpit to pull out the revolver that had been prepared.

There was no sound in the hallway, and Marlin shone a flashlight on the ceiling, and there was no trace of slime.

The walls on both sides of the corridor were confirmed, and there was no damage, just a slight frost.

Coupled with the self-locking gate, it is basically possible to exclude entity spirits.

The old lady of the landlord on the first floor was recently in the hospital, as an old man, she was unfortunately ill, but fortunately escaped, but his door was afraid that he could not escape - Marin hung the flashlight on the preset trap on the left shoulder of his coat, and took out a small bag of blessing powder from the tool bag, which was originally a teaching tool, but now it seems that it is his own lifeline.

Open the bag and rub it a little with your index finger and thumb on your forehead.

It then contaminates more of the powder and lifts it into the air.

Marin heard footsteps coming from the third floor.

Not real footsteps but phantom sounds, disturbing mental interference, Marin was more sure of his own analysis.

He took a small explosive from the tool bag, hung it on the door of the old landlady's room, and then combined the large half bag of blessing powder with the explosives.

The little finger of his left hand clasped the cable that released the long line, and Marin continued to walk forward.

Invisible spirits, mostly treacherous, like to attack from behind their prey by surprise.

Marin took a few steps, paused, the footsteps above him became more rapid and clear, he looked up at the top of the stairs, then pulled the cable, and turned around to see a shadow peeking in right outside the door.

It was a spirit of great beauty.

And in the next second, the explosives exploded, and the blessed powder stained the entire corridor, and the spirit screamed to reveal its original form, which was a translucent corrupt shell, how beautiful it was in life, it would be enchanting when it was transformed into a ghost banshee, and when its illusion was dispelled, people would be able to discover how terrifying they really were.

The blessed powder had deprived it of its invisible protection, so Marlin could see maggots wriggling in its eye sockets, and the sparse hair on the top of its shriveled head was just as helpless, like the coders in the engineering department...... Wait a minute, the coder never loses teeth in the gums when he laughs.

Because they have money to fill their teeth.

This made Marin's heart beat wildly and made him want to laugh a little.

It struggled in the blessed powder, tumbling until Marin reached out and lifted its head from the dust and powder.

The flashlight that had switched to violet mode had caused the ghost to scream in pain, trying to avoid the direct exposure of the violet light, but Marin held its chin to stop it from struggling, and pulled the firing pin of the revolver to push the muzzle of the gun to its forehead, the silver-oozing bullet in place.

"What a poor lady." Marin lamented that this must be a very poor woman, and the scar on her chest explained the pain she had suffered in life, but all this was not a reason for her to cause disaster to the world after her death.

So, "Good afternoon, ma'am, and ...... Good night. After speaking, Marlin pulled the trigger, and with the invasion of the silver-seeping bullet, the ghost began to disintegrate in an instant, and its body turned into flying ashes, making the already dusty first floor full of all kinds of unpleasant smells, Marin lowered his body and took out a small gray spar from the ashes.

Banshee's tears.

It sounds like a very artistic name, but who knows how many living people will have to pay with their lives in order to condense this teardrop.

150 pieces each; If it is translucent enough, three hundred pieces; And if it's translucent enough and blue at the same time, it's worth a thousand.

Of course, a banshee worth a thousand yuan is not something that Marlin can deal with at all, and when he encounters this kind of banshee, with Marin's current ability, he still uses a revolver gun to his head to get a blast of pleasure.

Yes, because then you don't have to suffer from being soul sucked.

Walking to the gate, Marin pushed the door, and this time, the gate opened.

Some people were watching this, and they must have heard something.

Marin smiled and took off the little flat hat on his head, saluted, and then walked quickly upstairs and knocked on the door.

One voice, two sounds, when Marin was about to despair, Maya's voice came from behind the door: "Is it Brother Marin?" ”

"It's me." Marin repeated the knock he had agreed with his sister, and the door opened, but an iron chain connected the door to the frame.

The little leopard girl stared at Marlin with her round pupils in the crack of the door for a long time, and finally unchained the door, crying and pounced on Marlin's chest.

"I thought I'd never see you again!"

Surprised by the thoughts expressed by his sister, Marin finally hugged her.

"Don't be afraid, no matter what, as long as you need it, my brother and I will come to you."

Never break your word.
