Chapter Sixty-Seven: The True Wolves
The next few days of the journey have been spent in the sembrance of the desert girl.
Regarding Mao Nier's behavior, Su Mu neither showed half a point of rejection, nor did he reveal the slightest joy.
Just calm and go with the flow, pretending that everything is so normal.
Even when Su Mu and Jiang Lan had a meal every day, Su Mu would specially call Mao Nier and let her continue to exchange her smile for delicious soup.
But other than that, Su Mu never mentioned taking her away again.
And Su Mu's move is obviously not without effect.
I saw Mao Nier, who was at the end of the way, after getting along with Su Mu for a few days, she had long been accustomed to showing an exaggerated smile to Su Mu.
Even the warmth of the smile has become real little by little over time.
So much so that Jiang Lan, who witnessed this smile, was almost difficult to distinguish many times, Mao Nier's smile...... Whether it's genuine pleasure or deliberate in exchange for food.
However, Jiang Lan's confusion has not yet come to a real answer.
But everything that seems peaceful in front of you has already ushered in the end first.
When the fast-moving Qi-powered carriage had been galloping around the border of the Great Wilderness for five days, Su Mu and the others had actually bypassed this barrier blocking civilization from the side of the Great Wilderness.
Tonight is the last night before Su Mu and the others leave this place.
And at this time, it is just eight days away from the day of the summer solstice, which happens to be the moment when the frost moon is completely extinguished and the blood moon is unbridled.
So when the scarlet night covered the whole land in an instant.
It seems that even Mao Nier herself has noticed the abnormality of tonight.
So when Su Mu handed the fragrant broth to Mao Nier's eyes, Mao Nier was a little stunned and didn't take it immediately.
Even after a moment of silence, Mao Nier was even more serious and looked into Su Mu's eyes.
Then he was slightly vigilant and asked in a low voice:
"Are you going to take me away, or are you going to let me kill someone?"
......
There is no doubt that Su Mu's waiting for the past few days has finally received the expected return.
Su Mu had been waiting for a long time, and Mao Nier took the initiative to ask this question.
Because some fears that go deep into the bone marrow cannot be erased by a few simple promises.
Only when Mao Nier herself is willing to take the initiative to show this cruelty can Su Mu really pull her out of the abyss of pain.
So in the face of Mao Nier's question, Su Mu naturally put down the soup bowl in his hand as well, and explained bluntly and unabashedly with a more serious attitude than Mao Nier:
"I care a lot about the power you have, so since you have this kind of power, it's obviously impossible for me not to use it. So in the final analysis, I chose to take you away because of your bloodline ability. In fact, it is not fundamentally different from the humans you have encountered before. ”
The words in Su Mu's mouth were pale and desperate.
And anyone can easily tell that the truth that Su Mu tore apart is really an extremely cruel fact.
Therefore, after hearing this, not only the hope in Mao Nier's eyes dimmed in an instant.
Even Jiang Lan, who was watching from the sidelines, was full of surprise with a blank face, why Su Mu deliberately wanted to describe himself as so unbearable.
But it was also in the silence of Mao Nier and Jiang Lan, each with their own concerns.
Su Mu suddenly changed his words again, and continued:
"I don't say this because I don't want you to have too unrealistic delusions. After all, everyone who exists in this world is only acting for their own desires after all. If you really have the desire to change, then please work towards it yourself. ”
"As for me, I can't promise to be kind to everyone, though. But I can at least be sure that I will give everyone who walks with me the respect he has as a human being. Whether you're a wilderness or a half-breed, in my eyes, you'll always be just a companion. ”
Su Mu's expression of the twist and turn, based on Mao Nier's experience, naturally flashed a trace of confusion at first, and then had a little understanding.
Next, I finally slowly felt the tenderness between Su Mu's words.
As a result, Mao Nier's eyes were already undisguisedly bursting with surprise, so that the blood moon on the horizon could not compete with her eyes.
But at this moment, when she saw Mao Nier opening her teeth and claws, she wanted to stretch out her dirty hands to give Su Mu a friendly hug.
Su Mu hurriedly took out a spare hand towel and slapped it directly on Mao Nier's face.
At the same time, he was still full of disgust, and said to the sloppy girl in front of him:
"This is your first instruction to join us, you should go to the stream and wash yourself now, only when your appearance is more in line with ordinary people, the human world will be more accepting of you. ”
......
To Su Mu's expectations, when Mao Nier simply washed her hands and cheeks slightly, and returned to Su Mu and the others again.
Only then did Su Mu and the others realize that the desolate girl in front of them was even smaller than they imagined.
Previously, Su Mu thought that she was fifteen or sixteen years old, entirely because of her height.
But at this moment, when Mao Nier's cheeks were still a little baby fat, they were finally completely liberated from the layers of dirt. But it undoubtedly completely exposed the fact that Mao Nier was only thirteen or fourteen years old at most.
It's even because Mao Nier's cheeks are completely exposed.
Another fact that made Su Mu feel even more palpitations also quietly surfaced.
I saw that the left side of Mao Nier's cheek had been tattooed with a mark by her former owner.
And this mark, Su Mu happened to have seen it before.
Because the head of the wolf-headed eagle in front of him is a ...... What Han Jun used to deter the mercenaries was the mark of the so-called "Wolf Regiment"!
Therefore, at this time, Su Mu didn't even bother to take out clean clothes for Mao Nier to change.
was already extremely urgent, and quickly confirmed to Mao Nier:
"How long have you been in contact with the humans you were in contact with, are they still looking for you at the moment, and are they in the vicinity of this area?"
There is no doubt that since Mao Nier once belonged to the Owl Wolf Regiment, and also learned the continental lingua franca from the Owl.
So for the wolf group, a woman like Mao Nier who has bloodline power and can even communicate normally is naturally self-evident.
And Mao Nier, if she escaped from other organizations, Su Mu would not be so vigilant.
After all, although others will also fight the ideas of the wasters, they are not necessarily so stubborn.
And only the Wolves, after all, they are an underground mercenary organization hired to act, as long as they do not fulfill the wishes of their employers, they will definitely try again.
As for whether they want to capture the rest of the desolate girls, or continue to pursue Mao Nier.
The only thing Su Mu can be sure of is ...... They're still in the middle of the wilderness!
