I smiled and stared at Lamia, watching the firelight leap across her flawless cheeks.

Lamia asked, "Do you have something to say?" ”

I said, "Those two children from 10 years ago turned out to be you. ”

Salvatore jumped up, and he shouted: "What did you say? ”

The answer to the question is obvious, ten years ago, I was a lifesaver for Lamia, and moreover, it was when she was most helpless and weak. I want to use this kindness to further strengthen my position and use it as an opportunity to rise to the top. If what I've done for her before might not be enough, then it's impossible not to impress her.

When you are at your most vulnerable and desperate, even the smallest favor is extremely important to you and difficult to repay. This was Lamia's situation, and I expected that she would not be able to forget the savior, and that in her mind the image of him, who was me, must have been indelible in his glory.

Worship me, Lamia, and use all your power and authority to help me reach the pinnacle of power.

I stood up, puffed up my chest, and exclaimed, "My original name is Longinus!" I am the one who stood up to save your brothers and sisters! ”

They were all silent.

Betty broke the silence: "I don't believe it. ”

I look at this doubter, and there are often foolish people who do not see the truth, just as the world questions the Savior sent by Jehovah. They are blind because of their ignorance, and they frame the saints because of their blindness, and they commit sins that cannot be washed away.

Betty said, "Didn't you say your name was Fishbone?" Why did you change your name as soon as the chief finished telling the story? ”

I shouted, "Because by this opportunity, I am reminded of my real name!" ”

Betty said, "That's a coincidence. ”

I hurried to see Lamia, but she still had a flat expression, and I hurriedly said, "Sir Lamia, you must believe me. I remember that day, it was Ochid who took me and Milse out on a trial, and he told us to go the furthest way possible, avoiding danger and picking up supplies. That factory is in.... It's at the Lake of Silence, and by the way, it happens to be around here. ”

Salvatore asked, "I don't remember exactly, sister, what about you?" ”

Lamia lowered her head, mumbled, and replied, "He's in the right place." ”

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because I was blinded, and I only remembered the vague direction of the incident back then, because of the raging storm, the three of us were a little lost. What if I get it wrong? Haven't I gone from being a hero to a liar? The human heart is so impermanent, so easily blinded by prejudice, and sometimes a word difference can make people irreversible and turn the truth upside down.

I patted Salvador on the shoulder, looked as kind and soft as I could, and said, "Son, I don't ask for much, just say thank you." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm still a little incredulous, and like Betty said, it's too bizarre, too accidental," Salvatore said. ”

If it weren't for the sir's face, I'd whip you ungrateful brat.

Lamia asked, "I want to know what happened, is Simon dead?" You're still alive, Simon must be dead. ”

I took off my coat, lifted my underwear, and showed her the scars on my chest and abdomen, and I said, "That Simon almost killed me." But Ochide arrived, and Simon was slashed in the neck by Ochide, and his wounds were fatal. The man fled, and even Ochid could not catch up with him. ”

Lamia suddenly touched my wound, her palms were covered with cold sweat, and I noticed that her hands were smaller, more beautiful, and gentler than I had imagined, not like the hands of warriors, but like those of clerks or students.

She was only an eighteen-year-old girl after all.

I suddenly thought it didn't matter, so what did it matter if she didn't believe it? It was I who saved her, and she grew up very well and became a superior warrior, and this result is the best reward for me. What should she really be grateful for and remembered for Fura and Terex for guarding her until the last moment of her life? I'm just a little wounded, so what's the point?

Lamia said, "Well, it's a small world. ”

Salvatore said: "Do you really believe it? ”

Lamia said: "It's the same whether you believe it or not, whether he's a Longinus or a fishbone, he's a trustworthy comrade-in-arms." ”

It's not bad, it's better than a crying hug and a loud reunion. I wanted to hug the chief, but given her brute strength and personality, I dismissed the idea.

I remembered something important, searched my bags and pulled out a golden pen. Lamia and Salvador's eyes were instantly drawn to the pen and could no longer take it off.

The pen had been lost by Simon during the battle, and was Ochid's trophy, but he no longer needed it.

I said, "Maybe it's not a clue, but I wonder if this thing will help you find that Simon Magnus?" ”

Salvatore said, "Sister, it's really.... Simon's! I will never forget that meeting! This is the one he turns, exactly the same! ”

Lamia took the pen and said, "Thank you." There was nothing but thanks, and she even turned her head away from me.

Alas, look, she really didn't take this life-saving favor to heart. Forget it, although the benefits are not much, there is nothing to lose.

Suddenly, Lamia held a gun in her left hand and drew a sword in her right hand. My heart skipped and I hurriedly drank the Eye of Odin, and I heard the sound of light footsteps—there were eight people outside the house, and we were surrounded.

How can I have so many disasters? I just want to get to the skyscraper early, but why is it always difficult to get there?

The man outside the house said, "Four people." ”

Another said, "One of them is holding Kuei's sword? ”

One of the previous people said, "Exactly." ”

Lamia looked at the sword in her hand, and she said, "It's someone from the Sword and Shield Society?" I'm a skyscraper Ranger! ”

The people outside the house shouted: "I give you a chance to surrender, throw down your weapons, and walk out with your hands held high!" ”

Lamia said, "Forgive me! We have no holiday with you. ”

The Sword and Shield Society said, "You have in your hands the weapons of our dead chief, and his honor is at stake. ”

"The weapon can be returned, but we don't know the cause of his death, and it has nothing to do with it," Lamia said. ”

Sword and Shield Society: "This will only be clarified after the trial." ”

Lamia said, "You have no right to judge me." ”

The sword and shield will be silent for a long time.

I was familiar with the Sword and Shield Society, and said, "Be careful, they're coming in." ”

There was a loud bang at the door, and a man in full armor, like a medieval knight, rushed in through the main entrance. Instead of shooting, Lamia slashed at the man, who was holding a large shield to block Lamia's sword, but Lamia leaped and kicked between the knight's sword and the shield, striking him in the helmet, and the man flew out of the door like a shot put.

Another man burst in, and they didn't seem to want to kill either, so they all used their big shields to open the way and crashed into us. Lamia slashed with Kuei's sword, and the big man couldn't move an inch, and the metal slammed into each other with a screeching, dizzying sound. When Lamia slashed out the third sword, the shield shattered, but the sword was intact. The man stepped back step by step, his expression respectful.

This is the rule of the Sword and Shield Society, when the more fights and the opponent is human, they will follow the principle of duel and fight one-on-one, unless there are casualties on their own side, or the situation is urgent.

They don't stick to the same rules forever.

Lamia walked out of the room, and I followed her, eight knights of the Sword and Shield Society lined up in a fan, all wearing black exoskeletons and heavy armor, some of them were monotonous and unaesthetic, like walking rectangular boxes, and a few of them were light and beautiful, like vigorous Siberian wolves.

I noticed one of the rectangular boxes move, his head pointed at me, but I couldn't make out his expression.

"It's not without demons in this area, we're all human beings, and there's nothing good to do us by killing each other," Lamia said. I'll tell you what I've seen, and then please allow us to leave. ”

The Sword and Shield Society did not speak, and a knight in wolf-shaped armor stepped forward, he did not hold a shield, but held a sword similar to that of Lamia, but with a larger blade. He pointed his sword at Lamia.

Lamia attacked first, she slashed vertically with a sword, and the sword and shield club's sideways gave way, and Lamia's slash missed. The man slashed at Lamia's right arm, but Lamia suddenly drilled in and raised his right arm to block the man's wrist. She tried to lift the man up, but the man hammered his head, causing Lamia to bleed from the forehead, and at the same time, she kicked the man away with both feet in the air. The wolf-armored knight took a few steps back before stopping his retreat.

The wolf-armored knight said, "If it were not for the armor, I would have disemboweled." It is my glory to be defeated at your hands, a superior warrior. ”

Lamia wiped the blood and wiped it beside her cheek, like an Indian brave man immersed in a fierce battle, and she said aloud: "The name of the Sword and Shield Society is indeed worthy of its name, and this battle is also my glory." ”

The wolf-armored knight said, "But you have been hit in the head, your breath is out of order, and you are no match for our next warrior." ”

Lamia's eyes were cold and he said, "Who's your next fighter?" ”

The knight in the wolf armor said, "Milse, draw your sword. ”

The rectangular box that had watched me before took off his helmet and entered the code on his arm, and his armor automatically disintegrated and fell off, and Milse emerged from it.

He was not far from the Mirsey I remembered, but his gaze was like a sword of steel, hard and strong, and indomitable. He had long curly hair, an angular face, and a small scar on the left side, which only added to his masculinity.

Mirse glanced at me, he recognized me one hundred percent, I could see that he had a myriad of questions, but he held back, obeyed the iron laws of the Sword and Shield Society, and obeyed the orders of the moment.

I said to Lamia, "I'll come." ”

Lamia asked, "You think I can't win?" ”

I said, "I know him." ”

Lamia nodded, she faced the enemy, slowly backed away, and as she walked past me, her lips pressed to me and whispered in my ear, "Be careful not to get hurt, this is the order." ”

I said, "Sir, I can't say for sure. Mirse is very powerful. ”

Lamia touched the scar on my chest and abdomen, and I didn't know what she meant, but she had hurried away, and seemed to be flustered.

I suspect she did have some concussions.
