foreshadow
The woman who walked into the pawnshop before said with a very thin silk thread wrapped around her hand, and a strange smile on her face.
"Second sister?" In the midst of the snoring wind, there was a burst of Klinanna's voice.
"I hope I don't encounter another storm." Leoas said worriedly.
"What now?" Phil asked.
"What else can I do? I can't freeze to death outside, let's go back and discuss it first, this is closer to the third post of the power supply, let's go to Lisa's place first. Leoas gritted her teeth.
"Second sister, I finally found you, I'm still not at ease, so I'll come out and have a look first. The eldest sister and the fourth sister are at home. "Klinanna came to answer first.
"Come, you carry her on your back, I'll go to the third outpost now." Leoas put Ciri on Klinanna's back and walked to the front, heading for the third post.
"Let's get ready, let's go to the queen first, they should be able to catch up." Anton Erya looked at his eldest sister, Olivia.
"Alright then, let's go first." Olivia also stood up and prepared to go.
Lisa sat in the sentry box of the outpost, looked through the very wind and snow, saw three figures, slowly approached, and immediately opened the door to welcome them out.
"When something happens, come in, it's too cold outside." Lisa invited them into the house, and immediately poured a few cups of hot tea, and after settling down for a while, Lisa looked at Ciri's wrist and said very calmly, "It's trouble." ”
"Yes, yes, I'd like to hear what you've heard about you, you've been running around before, what should be the solution to this kind of thing?" Leoas took a sip of hot water and asked Lisa.
Lisa shook her head very regretfully: "I've only seen similar situations in this situation, it's like seeds, and I don't have any way to solve it, I was in a certain area before, and I heard that someone can solve this kind of thing, unless we can find the controller behind the scenes, and then, killing this person can solve it, I suggest you go find Lord Lockbeth, their family is a wizard, and his father is also an alchemist." ”
"Alright then, we'll go to Lord Lockbeth right away, and thank you anyway." Leoas smiled, turned around and was about to open the door and leave here, Lisa said again: "It's cold now, everything is out, the road is slippery, be careful." ”
"Got it, thank you!" Clinanna said, carrying Ciri and going out.
In fact, this sentence is something in the words, and of course Leoas can hear it completely.
"How did you get here? What's going on? "Lockbeth went out and happened to see a few of them.
"It's a long story, let's go into the house, we're really cold, Lord Lockbeth." Clinanna said, and Lockbeth helped get Ciri into the house.
What the hell is going on? Could it be? Lockbeth said, pausing deliberately, taking a closer look at Ciri's wrist and touching the strangulation marks on his wrist.
"I don't know how to talk about this, I heard it from Lisa, that your father is an alchemist, and then the family is also a wizard, I think you must have a way, please help, think of a way." Leoas looked at Ciri, and the expression on his face was very solemn.
"Please find a way to help, you must! I can't live without her. Phil looked very excited.
"Don't worry about it, don't make a fuss. Don't get too excited, this is what Lockbeth said is not wrong, but you also know that in a war, all my family members were killed, and my learning is very limited, I will do my best, you have to tell me what happened and what happened to me first. Lockbeth comforted Phil as he opened up what had happened.
"You come out with me first, and we'll go to the next room." Lockbeth said to Phil, and Phil went out with Lockbeth.
"I feel that your relationship is not simple, and it is not pure, who is responsible for this problem." Locke looked at Phil with a serious expression.
"She's important to me, and I don't think you need to know what's important, right?" Phil smiled lightly.
"Alright, let's go." Lockbeth finished speaking, and went back to the room before.
"Here's how it happened, after the defeat of the undead warriors, I met that person on the way home, and then I entered the world they created, and I was separated from them, and when I came home, all of a sudden, she attacked us, and then I drugged him, and I stunned him, and then she ran out, and we chased her, and then I came here, and that's how it happened." Leoas told Lockbeth very simply.
"It turns out like this, Lord Olivia, is there really no mistake, this is called a puppet silk thread, through the invisible silk thread, you can control the human body, and the person who is controlled can only go to the consciousness of the ruler, in fact, to crack this, there are only three ways, the first is the most direct, kill the ruler, this thing will naturally disappear, but now this is too difficult for us. This is to rely on people's own willpower to survive, this is mainly to see the consciousness activities of the dominated themselves, and the third is to cut off this line, in other words, to cut off the arm of the dominated, but this must be something that no one wants, right? Lockbeth was silent for a moment.
"Of course this is not possible, don't even think about it, I will not agree and agree." Phil was very excited.
"I mean, can you be quieter? We didn't say we really did that. Klinanna yelled at Phil, but no one really did.
"So what exactly is to be done?" Leoas asked again.
"It's very simple, the first and third articles can not be done now, the only thing we can do is the second one, when she comes to her senses, tell her, let her have this preparation in her heart, when the controller is ready to control again, rely on the willpower of the controlled person, to get through this difficulty, for now, it is better to wake him up first." Locke White sprinkled cold water on Ciri's face, and Ciri opened his eyes with a blank expression.
"You drink first, I have something to tell you." Lilioas pulled Ciri out of the house.
"Look at the two strangulation marks on your hands, you are now under control, and you can only rely on your own willpower to get through this difficulty, you attacked us casually before, Lockbeth will tell you what to do in a while, I still hope you can cheer yourself. Leoas rubbed her hands together and said to Ciri, who knew it very well in her own heart.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best." Ciri said with a smile.
"I know this, thank you!" Ciri looked at his wrist and realized something clearly.
"Hmph." The woman who went to the pawnshop before was busy with something on her fingers, and there were mysterious silk threads on the index fingers of both hands.
Ciri felt for a moment, felt that strange feeling came again, his brain went blank, and he felt that his two hands were not very obedient.
"Quick, help her sit down." Lockewhite said.
Phil immediately found a chair and helped Ciri to sit down, holding Ciri's hands tightly.
Ciri's hands were really cold, as if they had just touched the snow.
"Don't be afraid, I will always be here with you, there will be nothing, don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side, always." In order not to put more pressure on Ciri, Phil kept his tone very calm and calm, but he was actually in a hurry to the extreme.
Ciri's face had become very pale, and his hands were shaking.
"Let's go out, I've been studying tea pairing these days, do you want to taste it first?" Lockewhite said.
"This is really okay, after all, it's your craft." Klinanna also said cooperatively.
A few people left, and only Ciri and Phil were left in the house.
Ciri didn't speak, trying to keep himself awake, but it wasn't going to end so quickly.
"What game are you playing? It seems to be a lot of fun. Taylor, the man in sunglasses, said.
The woman still didn't move, and said very usually: "As you wish, well, of course it's a puppet wood game, this is really fun!" ”
"Be careful, don't break this thread." Taylor, the man in sunglasses, sighed.
"If you want to cut the thread, you have to cut your wrists, but if you cut your wrists, people will die, I don't think those people are stupid enough to be like this, right? And if he wants to cut his wrists himself, he can't do it, after all, the flesh grows and his body hurts a lot. The woman said, shaking the threads in her hands.
"It seems really funny according to what you say, I still hope you are a little careful, and in the end it is better not to overturn the car, anyway, you should have a lesson from the past, the miserable person you die in the end now, maybe it's a stupid pig brain." Taylor, the man in sunglasses, looked around, but found nothing.
Ciri didn't resist in the end, desperately raised his hand, Phil grabbed it tightly, but he wouldn't let go.
"What's going on? Looks like someone is blocking the way again, really, but I don't want to do it, and there seems to be no way to do it, so I'd better move the rocks out of the way. The movement of the woman's hand stopped.
"What's the matter? Don't you say it's good to be nervous? Taylor, the man in sunglasses, also sat down casually, looking at the woman in front of him, nerves everywhere.
Ciri pushed Phil away at once, picked up a sword on the table, the one was Locke, and when he heard something in the room, several people rushed over at once.
When Lockbeth walked into the room, he saw Phil sitting on the floor, the table was in a mess, and Ciri was holding his sword and was about to cut Phil, when it seemed that it was too late.
However, when the sword was about to pierce Phil, Ciri slashed in his leg.
This moment was something that everyone didn't expect, and even said that they thought that this kind of thing would not happen, but even like this, the strangulation marks on the wrists still did not disappear.
I only heard a snap, a very clear crisp sound, and the woman had an incredible expression on her face, and the thread was broken!!
"I'm like, you're not going to make it, are you? Sometimes don't underestimate people too much, it's better to use your brains more, okay, your kind of game really doesn't have any lethality, if you can deal with ordinary people, I advise you not to waste time and energy. Taylor, the man in sunglasses, looked at the expression on the woman's face, and his heart was dark.
Blood, immediately flowed out.
"What's the hurry? It's not over yet. "Women must not be in a hurry to panic.
The bright red blood irritated the man's eyes, and Phil immediately stood up and snatched the sword from Ciri's hand at once.
Ciri said intermittently, "I ......... Feel............ The head is ............ Dizzy. ”
"It's okay, it's okay now, there's nothing going on now." Phil took Ciri in his arms and hugged Ciri tightly. "How? Are you considering giving up? The words of Taylor, the man in sunglasses, are undoubtedly to the point.
"Forget it, it's still not tidy, I feel like it's boring, I'm so tired. Forget it, I'm going to go to bed first. As she spoke, she walked out of the cave, and outside, it was snowing, and the snow was so heavy that you couldn't even see the road ahead.
The blood, which had already stained his clothes, made Phil cry all at once, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.
When Klinanna saw this, she immediately became angry, because she couldn't see anyone crying, so she was angry and said, "I said can you stop crying?" It's useless for you to cry, tears don't make pain and hurt go away, instead of crying there, you should think of a way. ”
"Let's go and heal first, I'm seriously injured this time, guard
Bing, come, carry the person into the medical room, and wipe the blood on the ground quickly. Lockbeth immediately ordered.
Lockbeth comforted Phil very gently, and said very softly: "Okay, okay, it's okay." Now crying, tears wipe away and we are gone. ”
At this time, Olivia and Antonya also felt the palace, but this time, they came to find Her Majesty the Queen.
"The Queen is in the attic." The guard said to Olivia respectfully.
"I'm sorry to bother you this time." Antonya said. "You guys are here, don't talk to me like that, come in. The queen put down the book in her hand and looked at the calendar on the wall.
"It's time for the festival soon, I think it's better not to celebrate the whole country this year, it's good that the people of all families celebrate the festival in their own ways and preferences, why bother to make it so exciting, and the budget also has to spend a lot of money, this habit should be changed." The queen had her back to Olivia and Antonia.
"I think this is okay, for the current situation in the country, this is really good, it saves a lot of steps and is very troublesome, as for the method of rectifying the military system, how do you think about it?" Olivia asked the Queen.
"According to the current establishment, I think there are still a lot of unreasonable places, the promotion and reward and punishment system of soldiers, the further improvement of people's loyalty, and the loyalty and patriotism of soldiers also need to be improved and brainwashed. I don't have a good idea of this. I'm going to ask those two for their opinions, they've been fine with you for the past two days. The queen turned.
Olivia and Anton looked at each other.
"I'm sorry about this, a lot of things happened in the middle, and there are some things we can't do anything about, but they don't have anything to do now, with a puppet silk thread, it should be fine now, Your Majesty don't worry In my opinion, they still have some ability, otherwise they might have died a long time ago." Anton Rya spoke to the queen very attentively.
"What's wrong with Lord Lockbeth? Is there another injury? "Medical is the head of medical care, Dean. Scott is a well-informed folk doctor with very high medical skills, and this method is very modern and diverse.
"This is a patient, right? You put her in the hospital bed first. Dean is almost 60 years old this year.
"It looks like the injury is not light, I said you young people can't be a little careful, right? And I haven't heard of a war lately, have I? What's going on here? Could it be a puppet filament? Dean looked at the strangulation marks on Ciri's wrist as if he knew it.
"You should treat his wounds first, and recently Her Majesty has asked you to train excellent doctors, and has selected a large number of young doctors from all over the country who are very capable and qualified, and can be born with talent, and vigorously develop medicine, and in remote rural towns, medical offices must be established, this important task of teaching, you need to worry more." Lockbeth didn't say anything that could be achievable, and Rukebeth always smiled whenever he spoke.
"I can only do my best, for the sake of the country, I will. Give everything I have, I will now treat this wound immediately, I don't know what this identity is? Looks very familiar, could it be a newcomer? Dean was busy fiddling with it as he spoke.
"This is the palace, newly transferred from the Northern Military Department, and you know what happened last time, so the guard strength and ability need to be further strengthened."
"Some people, just thieves don't die, I think Your Majesty has governed the country very well, the four Elric sisters are also very loyal, no matter what others do, anyway, I am, I have a very strong hope for the future development of the world, and I will definitely become stronger, it has been a snowstorm in the past two days, it is recommended to let the patient stay in the palace." Dean stopped what he was doing and said.
"I guess this time it was ordered by Her Majesty, or did Lord Olivia personally recommend it? It's okay, you guys be careful of Chadson, that kid has a lot of thieves, it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible. ”
