Chapter 15: Departure to the South 1
"I didn't know anything about what was going on!" Abel complained. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although it had been half a day since the group of five people left the village at the bottom of the tree and walked in the direction of Estiel, Abel's mouth was not as loud as the sun in the sky.
Abel said childishly, "I thought I was part of the team! ”
Serena looked back in annoyance and said, "It's not interesting to fight and kill, kill and set fires. ”
"What about the other things, I've heard Ogst say that there are ghouls at work. Before I knew anything, the ghouls were dealt with. Abel said angrily.
Augst laughed and said, "Children should not go to such a dangerous place. ”
"I could have helped, if you had brought me you wouldn't have encountered ghouls by surprise, I could sense them. ”
Klinus said: "Maybe Ogst didn't care about your safety, and there was something going on in the battle." ”
Augst recalls some of the battles he had with the ghouls that night, and was indeed pleasantly surprised by their presence. But this is not a reason for his own injuries, those ghouls are very clever until how to surround his enemies, attacking from multiple directions. In order to break the stalemate, Ogast attacked his shoulder and killed the strongest of the leaders. If there had been an Abel present at the time, the situation would have been out of control.
Augst said fearfully: "If I really bring you, the situation must not be optimistic." ”
"At least you can tell me what a ghoul looks like......" Abel whispered sullenly.
"Ghouls look like dead corpses...... "Ebner said, "the flesh is almost festering, and through them they can see the ghoul's purple-red and black muscles. Lifeless walking dead, but full of overwhelming power. ”
Ogst had just seen ghouls, and added, "And the smell of them, like swollen and green carrion corpses in a grave." ”
"What about their faces?" asked Abel, "what do their faces look like?"
"Like an eyeless human, a mass of flesh takes up most of the face. "Underneath is a protruding snout, and the air exhaled is disgusting and suffocating, like choking on smoke," Augast said. ”
"How do you know?" asked Ebner.
Augst said with a lost face: "Don't ask, let's hurry......"
In this way, the five of them walked along the path. From the village of Shudi, the number of villages and towns began to increase, and the roads were no longer small paths, but large roads where large horse-drawn carriages could be carried out. Even so, there were few passers-by, and it was estimated that only Krell's caravan traveled on this road. This means that the business opportunities belong to Mr. Kreer, otherwise no one would be thankless to run around in the middle of nowhere.
As the sun set and it was about to fall behind the Oulder Mountains, Abel's question of the village of the bottom of the tree was over.
After discussing the ghoul, Odis, Mr. Chief, and Brother Harris, Abel said contentedly, "In retrospect, it really happened like God's will. ”
"I doubt it. ”
"Fart!"
Klinos and Serena uttered their words of doubt almost at the same time, though Serena was simply cursing some people's beliefs.
To Serena's surprise, Klinos didn't believe in God either, and was surprised and said, "You don't believe in God?"
"Is it surprising?" said Clinos.
Auguste was also confused and said, "I often hear you talk about the Holy Spirit and God, why is that?"
"I believe there's a wildflower on the side of the road, even if I don't put it to my mouth. I talk about God and the Holy Spirit, but I can't believe they exist. "Some people say they like falling raindrops, but when it rains, they hide in their houses." Some people say that they like the sunshine of Hexi, but they sit in the shade of the trees before the sun rises overhead...... So don't believe what people say. ”
"Your suspicious personality is almost comparable to that of Miss Serena," said August, "and neither of you believes in many things. ”
"It's one thing not to believe, it's another thing to deny. I simply don't think that what I know is enough to prove their credibility. I'm still open to the unknown, and maybe one day the Holy Spirit will have a face-to-face conversation with me, and then I can have an unwavering belief in the existence of God and the Holy Spirit. Clinos said.
After hearing this, Serena said unhappily: "Even if I don't look into your eyes, I know that you are belittling me as a narrow-minded villain." ”
Clinos said embarrassedly, "I can't deny what you said, although I will try to avoid unpleasantness with euphemisms." But it doesn't make any sense to Miss Serena, does it?"
Ebner was confused, wondering how Serena had picked up the disparaging element in Klinos's words. If you had a talent like Serena, it would be much easier to talk.
Klinus continued, "But I believe in Miss Serena, and I must believe in something." ”
"How so?" asked Selina rhetorically.
"Just because you're alive......" Clinos said.
Serena slowed down and recalled, "I have a friend...... When we were young, she went to steal a jewelry store. Then they seized her and escorted her to trial. The shop sold jewellery and gold, and it was Miss Skye's property. Miss Skye was naturally annoyed that someone dared to steal her things, but she was caught by the guards before she could steal them, and she couldn't get any of them. I still want her to stay in prison for a while, and then we can be reunited......"
When Clinos saw Serena whimpering, he pretended to be okay and said, "But what?"
"But ......," said Serena, "but the owner of the trinket shop said that she had stolen the priceless jewels." And hid it in a place where no one knew, and waited until the wind calmed down before coming out to squander. Nonsense...... Full of nonsense!"
As she spoke, Serena kicked the tree on the side of the road, shaking off the leaves of the tree quite a bit. The surrounding birds were also frightened, making people feel inexplicably desolate. Ogast now understood why Serena hated the use of intrigue to kill her.
"Did the boss swallow the jewels himself?" asked Abner.
"The question goes without saying!" said Serena.
"Did they sentence your friend to death after that?" Abel asked.
"I wish they had done ......," said Serena, "but they tortured her and forced her to ask where the non-existent jewels were hidden." He tortured her for two days, and the screams continued day and night. I don't know how many frenzied torture instruments have been used, and how many methods have been used to despise anyone. They put her body in sacks and threw it into the river, cursing for crimes she had never committed. ”
"Serena ......" Ebna wanted to say something to comfort her, but it was obviously too difficult for him.
"No lies, no tricks, no killings...... seems to be a ruthless and vicious assassin, but he has his own bottom line and ethics. Clinos snapped his fingers and said, "It's surprising that our small team is the embodiment of a model of justice!"
Everyone didn't understand the meaning of Clinos's words, and waited for Klinos to continue to answer.
Serena said disdainfully, "I only see a group of people who pursue seemingly hopeless ideals, especially how can I be considered righteous?"
"Your words are true, but justice itself is a difficult thing to decipher, and it cannot be interpreted by long-cherished wishes or obsessions alone. Clinos said: "Justice requires many virtues, and I may have a little foresight, but it is not enough to be called just." Augst has the virtue of self-denial, and he puts an end to his feelings to make decisions, but he is still a little short of it. And what you have is brave my friend, hiding in the dark, defying the power of the enemy or the words of others, waiting for the opportunity to act deadly. It's not that Augst isn't brave enough, but it takes a different kind of courage and skill to sneak behind dangerous enemy lines and charge into battle. ”
"If I had that skill, I could have done those things behind enemy lines," Augst said. ”
"Maybe you can. Klinus said, "Maybe you can't." Serena had the courage to endure the scolding of the people, a rare virtue, if it was used in the right way. ”
Ogast knew that he could not even bear the talk of people, and even self-imposed himself to escape them. In this way, Serena did have extraordinary bravery.
Abel listened for so long, although he didn't understand, but he still said dissatisfiedly: "Then what do I have with Ebner!"
Clinos didn't think long and said, "You two naturally have a lot of endearing virtues, such as the innocence and simplicity of your children. ”
In fact, there is also the cuteness of a kitten, but Abel must not like to hear this statement, even if it is an obvious feature.
"What about Ebner?" Abel asked.
"...... Ebner" Klinos turned his head to look at Ebner's face, making Ebner feel uncomfortable. Then Klinos said slowly: "Ebna has noble virtues. He was more loyal to his friends than all else, and was able to follow me on ridiculous adventures without hesitation, and I could not expect a nobler virtue to exist in a man. ”
Everyone focused on Ebner, who was already embarrassed and confused, not knowing what to say, whether to thank Klinos for his praise, or to say that he was not so virtuous, or to say something to divert everyone's attention. But what is the best thing to say, it can not only connect the original topic, but also ease the awkward situation.
He would touch his head for a while, and make small movements on the thread on his clothes, not knowing what to do.
