XXVI. Walking in the streets
The men in red left with the spoils of war, the legions were in chaos, and the people of the Sword and Shield Society fell into great grief and indignation. Vasilisa tries to track down the Man in Red, but eventually gives up.
She was not sure of victory, and Ambrosa's artifact was about to explode.
During the retreat, the academy's classmates asked Leila, "Who is that person?" ”
Leila shook her head blankly: "I don't know him. ”
"What strange thing did he do to you?"
Layla panicked and said, "No, I don't think...."
"He killed the big man of the Sword and Shield Society in an instant! That's not even a sneak attack, the other party has no room to resist at all! Could he have cast an evil spell on you? ”
Leila is in a hurry: "No! Absolutely nothing! If you suspect that I am mentally controlled by him, you can check on me! ”
A schoolgirl whispered, "This guy is so handsome." ”
Leila didn't answer, but her face flushed slightly, how could it be that she was so bold when she blocked me in the toilet back then, and now she knows that she is shy again? Could it be that my appearance is really worse than that man in red?
I heard Green Veil say, "Yes." ”
The world is crazy.
Green Veil said, "He's Longley Helsing." ”
Even in my dreams, I was startled.
I haven't tested the strength of Duke Dunn, if I become a saint, can I kill him with one blow? I'm not sure, it's hard to say.
Longley Helsing is strong, and I can't even tell who is stronger between him and Master Helsing.
I shouted from the bottom of my heart for everyone to get out of the way, lest Helsing change his mind. In fact, without my persuasion, one of the nine hermits died, this is the most solemn warning, Baudelaire ordered a rapid march, passed through the second layer, climbed the first layer, and finally broke out of the chasm.
They were stationed a kilometer away from the rift, and Lamia was anxious, looking into the distance with a telescope for a moment. Leila boldly stepped forward and said, "Madam Dean, Dean will be fine." ”
Lamia smiled reluctantly.
Then, the explosion caused the flames to ruin the sky like a dragon, the cracks closed, the hurricane howled, and Lamia was terrified, shouting, "Don't! ”
She rushed out of the army and ran towards it, and now it was my turn to panic.
When approaching the closed chasm, it was worse than Hell, with lava and fire gushing out, the wind burning like red-hot blades, and Lamia's Ranger suit was not enough to resist the aftermath of the artifact's explosion.
I hurriedly said, "Lamia! Get back! Get back! ”
But she couldn't hear it, she turned her head to look for me, to find my trace, and suddenly, a strong wind swept Lamia, and Lamia exclaimed, her clothes became tattered, and her body was bleeding, which made my heart twist like a knife, and I only hoped that she would leave quickly.
That's when a miracle happened.
A faint circle of light emanated from Lamia's body, blocking the invasion of the harsh environment, and she was stunned to see this, and continued to rush towards the vortex formed by the flames and wind.
.....
I opened my eyes, and I was dizzy from the white light bulb above my head. I lay in a luxurious room, with smooth maroon wood walls and a golden frame with specimens of deer and wolf heads.
Lamia lay on the table beside her.
I reached out and gently put my arm around her, and Lamia immediately woke up and hugged me with a warm gesture, and we kissed for a while, and she said, "You're okay, it's so good." ”
"Where are we?"
"In Pomsar, you've been in a coma for three whole days."
I asked, "Did you save me?" Are you injured too? She was still bandaged.
Lamia said: "Yes, it's okay, I found you, halfway through, I couldn't support it, it was Legang who rescued us." ”
I was so moved that I couldn't stop kissing her cheek and bandage, and Lamia smiled: "It's all okay, we paid the price, but after all, we won." ”
I heard a booming vibration and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
Lamia said: "Carnival, really, I thought the Sword and Shield Society would be very rigid inside, I didn't think that this city was more chaotic than a black coffin." ”
I laughed and said, "Shouldn't such a great victory be celebrated?" ”
Lamia: "Duke Dunn is dead. ”
I should have been surprised, but I seemed to know it for a long time, and I asked, "How did you die?" ”
Lamia sighed, "It is said to be that Longley Helsing." ”
I hurriedly asked, "Is that him?" He showed up? What about Yegri? ”
Lamia: "Thankfully, she wasn't there, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to clean up." ”
At this, she frowned, and said, "The people are rejoicing, but those who have seen Longley Halsing's action are dismayed, and they say: Duke Dunn is very strong, his swordsmanship is comparable to that of Norman, and his magic is comparable to that of Baudelaire, but it is easier for Halsing to kill him than to strangle a cat." ”
I was very disdainful and said, "Why do these cowards grow the morale of others and destroy their own prestige? With my Black Coffin Sword Saint here, you let that Helsin come and meet me? ”
"I'm worried, this guy is strong, really strong, and I feel like facing him is like... Facing Abel. ”
"My dear wife, don't frighten yourself, let's go outside and see, I think the celebration is coming to an end."
The celebration of Bunsar was so grand that people seemed to crowd into the streets to party, colored bars flying in the sky, beer foaming, the ground slippery and slimy, people too, and dancing, and everyone in the largest city of the Sword and Shield Society became part of the carnival.
Yes, yes, it should be done in time, why weep for the dead? Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon, I am born to be useful, and the daughter will come back when she is gone. Let the dead duke let him die, and there are eight dukes, and there is a king on top, how big is it?
We have won a battle, an unprecedented victory, and once again thwarted the huge empire that wants to annex the Eight Desolations and Liuhe, which is enough reason to celebrate. Let the precious food and the beer made from rice go to waste, what will happen after the carnival? Revellers are nothing to think about.
"The Sword and Shield Society has lost 800 warriors, we have lost 200 dead and wounded, and even if everyone is happy, their relatives will be in tears," Lamia said. ”
Thousands of civilians in the rift, as well as the soldiers of the Era Empire, naturally died, but what was that? Their deaths should be counted on the head of the Era Empire, what does it have to do with me?
But it was so uncomfortable to hold it in my heart, so I told Lamia.
Lamia sighed: "That can't be helped, those are all enemies. ”
I couldn't help but laugh at myself: "Should I tell this group of people below?" Make them happy? ”
Lamia said, "I know you're feeling bad, but... That's the way it is. Do you think they will be sad when they find out? They will only be happier, I have heard that there is a blood feud between the Anno Empire and the Sword and Shield Society. ”
Indeed, the Sword and Shield would wish that the people of the Era Empire would die, regardless of whether those people were kind, innocent, family, or lustful. What do they say: Only dead Era Empire people are good Era Empire people.
The wind here smells of coal, but I heard that the winter is warm and the summer is cool, and it is very comfortable in all seasons, and the water of the underground river can be used to purify it, and it also has the effect of cooling and cooling off the heat, and through the dense and complex subway pipes, many dungeons of the Sword and Shield Society are connected together.
Lamia looked at the many unclothed and ragged people and said, "Many are slaves of the Sword and Shield Guild nobles, personal property, or group property, and there is no freedom. ”
I said, "What's the use of freedom?" In this world, as long as you can live, you are already thankful. This life is the greatest treasure. Believe, believe that in this day and age, having a place to live and something to eat is already a blessing. ”
The slaves didn't seem to be able to get dressed or wear gold or silver jewelry, but they were dancing, humming, and showing strange energy, and the strange light that sprinkled over Bensa made this place, these people, as strange and magnificent as the dark elf city in a fantasy movie.
I said, "Look, they're having a great time, and the most important thing is to be..."
Lamia said, "Do they know how to drink and dance? ”
I put my arms around Lamia and said with a smile, "There is another activity that we can't say, but we might as well find a dark alley...."
Lamia inflicted a critical blow on my kidneys, causing me to die in the line of duty, on the verge of red blood.
A group of children are playing a game of jousting, with wooden swords or twigs in their hands, two of them dressed in fine costumes and the rest in dirty clothes.
I said, "Those two are the children of knights, and the rest are slaves or commoners." ”
One of the aristocratic children shouted, "I, I'm the invincible Sword and Shield Society Knight God Arrow Aardman, who are you?" ”
The children shouted loudly, and another aristocratic child said, "I am the Black Coffin Sword Master, the famous Fishbone Longinus." ”
I was overjoyed and shouted, "This kid has a good life." ”
Lamia said, "Look at your point. ”
The first noble child said, "I have heard of your name, you are our ally, but we still have to compete in martial arts after all, and we will be superior." ”
The second noble child said, "Yes, my sword saint Longinus is not afraid of challenges. ”
The first child said, "So, please take me a 'Metal Slug'!" He stabbed a sword out of the air, and the second child shouted "ah", saying, "Great, take me a move 'Holy Spear Breaking the Enemy'." As he spoke, he swung his sword and struck it out from afar.
Lamia couldn't help but laugh, I was indignant, but I could only smirk.
The first child said, "This trick didn't work for me!" ”
I couldn't help but say, "Why is it useless for you to cheat?" ”
The first child said, "Because I'm stronger than a fishbone." ”
The second child sighed: "Yes, although the Black Coffin Sword Saint is powerful, it is not as good as the great heroes of our Sword and Shield Society after all. ”
I exclaimed, "What shit? It's clear that I'm more powerful, you little kids know a fart? Even if Vasilisa comes, she will have to bow down. ”
I rushed off the field and snatched a child's wooden sword, and was about to perform the Mind Blade stunt when the other children screamed and scattered.
Lamia said, "What do you see like a child?" ”
I said with itchy teeth: "It can be seen that the Sword and Shield Society will not do good things, they did not truthfully describe my strength to the next generation, so attentive, it can be described as sinister!" ”
