Chapter 48: The Funeral Song
"Yes, Lord Marquis." After Arnold finished speaking, he started to introduce himself, "My name is Arnold, I have a specialty in strength, and now I have just obtained the bloodline of a B-level giant, and I also have a C-level strengthened giant shield, the positioning is not clear for the time being, but I feel that I am more suitable for charging into battle." ”
As soon as he said that he had B-class giant blood, there was a slight exclamation in the banquet hall, and even the ghost hand couldn't help but squint, and Marquis Charles didn't expect that Arnold would directly become B-class bloodline when he came back from this mission, and he was overjoyed for a while, and at the same time began to regret arranging Arnold to the position of a miscellaneous guest.
"This little girl's name is Ling, a psychic person, currently at the C level, and her abilities include sensory enhancement, vibration perception, and telepathy." Arnold then introduced Ling.
Ling's appearance puzzled everyone present, why did a three-person team like them spend money to cultivate a person with non-offensive spiritual abilities? Even an experienced evolutionary like Onihand couldn't figure out why.
Actually, Arnold didn't understand it very well, but this was Luo Wei's decision, and he couldn't talk more.
In the end, Arnold introduced Luo Wei: "This is Luo Wei, he is..."
For a while, Arnold didn't know how to introduce Luo Wei, this young man was too strong and too mysterious, and he didn't know much about him, where to start?
"Sniper." Just when Arnold didn't know how to introduce it, Luo Wei made an introduction for himself.
Arnold was embarrassed for a while after hearing this, the last time he fought Luo Wei, this guy tore an A-class werewolf with his hands, and bit Gao Yuan and Erin, the two evolutionaries who had won B-level reward points, and as a result, he positioned himself as a "sniper"?
The unwitting ghost hand sneered and mocked: "A girl who likes to put cold guns." ”
After everyone was introduced, Marquis Charles touched his mustache and smiled: "This is so surprising, it's unimaginable, there are talents in all fields, everyone has their own role, you will be invincible!" So what are you waiting for? Please dine and let me practice for your next expedition! ”
...
The next day, Luo Wei prepared enough water and dry food, because he exchanged the space bag, so the storage space is very large, and the space bag is a pure sterile environment, food and water will basically not deteriorate, he filled the amount for nearly a year, people in the wilderness are like this, with a serious fear of insufficient supplies, once there is a chance to get supplies, they will definitely go crazy to grab it.
On the third day, although there were still four days left before the next unified mission of the Cube, due to the distance of Dawn City from the area covered by the Cube, the overall speed of the team's march was slow, so it was necessary to leave early.
On this day, the streets out of the city were full of people, and the black crowd was separated on both sides by the cordon drawn by the defenders, and spread far to the end of the sky, and all kinds of sounds came like a tide, and everyone cheered and passionate.
Arnold, an evolutionary who spontaneously entered the wilderness, had never seen such a scene, in the past, he had gone out of the city silently every time, and came back silently with a scar, except for the defenders of the city gate, no one knew his name at all, and now there was suddenly such a pomp and circumstance, he was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and muttered blankly: "Why are they so excited?" ”
"Huh? Why, is it the first time you've seen such a scene? Ghost Hand suddenly burst out laughing arrogantly, grabbed Arnold's shoulder, and said coldly, "Of course, it's a farewell, a farewell to us to hell." ”
Arnold only felt a cold current coming down his back, and shivered, he raised his head, only to find that the sky above his head was full of haze, dense black clouds obscured the sun's rays, casting endless shadows on the land, and even a few crows could be seen hovering in the sky, chirping in their mouths like a funeral song.
Yes, the people are sending off, just as they were in the old days when they sent off their armies, they were excited about the heroism of the marchers, for the possible victory, for the sense of glory after the triumph of the heroes! However, they will never see the bones of those who are buried in hell and do not return.
Arnold had noticed that the people around him were basically adults with some ideas that had been formed, and that the teenagers who were enthusiastic and full of desire for freedom were locked in their homes, and even if one or two children occasionally ran out to watch the expedition wistfully, their parents would scold them and drive them home, and then continue to cheer and applaud themselves.
Mask! Arnold saw the mask on everyone's face! It is an invisible mask of hypocrisy, but firmly attached to the flesh!
It should be said that everyone here is proud of the expedition from the bottom of their hearts, but at the same time, each of them did their best to prevent their children from seeing this scene, trying to stifle the children's illusions of marching into the wilderness.
"Do you see clearly? That's what I mean by rubbish. The ghost hand smiled fiercely, and his gaze sharper than a blade swept over these people, "They like to see the sacrifice and triumph of heroes, and are extremely proud of them, but they don't dare to be a hero themselves, when we stand, they applaud and cheer, and after we fall, they are scattered, whether in the old era or in the Honkai era, this kind of person is rubbish." ”
As soon as the ghost hand's words fell, Arnold saw another person, Lin Geng's mother.
The woman stood in the crowd without saying a word, and instead of cheering like the others, she looked at Arno with a vicious gaze that bordered on cursing, and because of the crowd, Arno could not hear what she was saying, but vaguely, Arno felt a death mark waft out of the woman's mouth, like a red-hot iron tong, and when he came back to his senses, he was already in a cold sweat.
Finally, as he walked out of the city gates, Arnold suddenly had the illusion that the cheering crowd behind him seemed to be dressed in white shrouds, and the infinite paper money fell in the sky, dancing with the hungry crows, and the wave of cries gradually turned into a funeral sonata.
When he walked out of the city, until he could no longer hear the cheers, Arnold finally came back to his senses, and his whole body was like being fished out of the water, sweating profusely.
At this time, Ling suddenly grabbed the corner of Luo Wei's cloak and asked in a low voice, "Someone came out with us." ”
Luo didn't reply, and said directly in a low voice: "Human martyrs, the usual methods of many squads. ”
Arnold was stunned for a moment, looked behind him, and sure enough, five poorly dressed people who looked like walking corpses followed them out, these people's eyes were extremely hollow, and there was no emotion, even if they walked from the heaven in the city to the hell of the wilderness, there was still no change in emotion.
"Very experienced." At this time, the ghost hand had already pulled out two more than one meter long night daggers, played with them in his hands, and sneered, "The difficulty of the cube's mission is directly proportional to the average strength of the team, so putting a few of these 'human martyrs' in the team can greatly reduce the difficulty and risk, and many forces will use this method when cultivating the cube team." ”
