Chapter 26 of the struggle for survival

Zari is a dark spirit born in the underworld. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The underworld is a very scary place, not only in a harsh environment, but also with a large number of monsters.

It can be said that after so many years of being in the ground, Zali can boast to those humans on the surface that she has never seen any terrible things.

But she was still scared.

Sophia's gaze at Zari at this time really made her feel scared.

The feeling that that gaze brought to Zari was like the strong emotion conveyed by a beast forced into a corner.

Zali, of course, understands the strength that Sophia has. Sophia has an amazing talent and attainments in swordsmanship. At that level, Zali believes that by the standards of the dark elves, it is rare and excellent. In addition to this, as a Paladin, Sophia has other abilities available.

So, Zari didn't want to be an enemy of Sophia.

Zari is indeed not a good type, she has a very poisonous heart. She's not a terrible villain, though...... Rather, an enhanced version of the bear child. She certainly wouldn't have the idea of sacrificing herself for a prank.

So, she decisively decided to put an end to this provocation.

Of course, the question she asked just now, Martin heard.

However, no matter what Martin says, he can't fail to feel Sophia's murderous aura - even if the target is not him but Zali.

Martin was a little unreasonable, and that was because he grew up in the bush. He's not a fool, though.

Of course guessed, Sophia's reaction. Maybe it has something to do with her past experiences.

In this case, of course, he is going to play a round. After all, in addition to the harmony of the team to help complete the task, for Sophia, he still has the urge to defend her and protect her.

Don't forget, you've all had the experience of drawing your sword in front of the count's army.

So, Martin said cautiously.

"That's a complicated matter, and I can't answer you for the time being. After all, it's not just a psychological problem, it's also a physical problem. ”

"But to put it simply, if women are forced to be treated that way...... Then the fault must not be on the woman. The woman is obviously a victim. Therefore, it is of course incorrect to discriminate against women. Martin replied.

It can be said that Martin's answer was a little incoherent.

Still, Sophia understood what Martin meant.

So he lowered his eyes and lowered his head to drink porridge.

It was the first time she had encountered a man like Martin who treated her like this.

In the past, the environment she was in, and the women around her, were jealous of her beauty. And the man covets her. None of the eyes around are warm and friendly.

Later, as a brave and warlike paladin, she received a lot of grateful glances. But Na thanked her for the good things she had done, not for her kindness as a person. The gratitude of those who have been helped by her can satisfy her psychology. But it couldn't fill the care she hoped to receive.

Yes, although she is very strong, but in her heart, she is still the little girl who is powerless to protect herself.

For this reason, when she was in the organization of the Holy Warriors, she also chose to close herself off and stay with those respected old people all day long.

This is also because of her inferiority complex.

At first, she was accepted and joined the organization of the Paladin. And by those respected old men themselves declared to be good people. At that time, she was once cheering to join the ranks of young people.

Soon, then, she spotted some people, still knights with belts, peeking at her.

If it was just from the peeping eyes of those men, she wouldn't feel anything. After all, since ancient times, it has been natural for men to look at beautiful women, as long as they don't take action, it's their business to secretly think about it.

But she couldn't forget the gossip that quickly came from other women.

They called her a "green tea".

"What kind of pretending to be pure......" "Who doesn't know ...... her past" "Tsk, it's hard to say what happened at the beginning, isn't this ...... now"

And at that time, there was no one to defend her. Those old people who are highly respected cannot hear this kind of voice. And those young people...... It also seems that because of her past experiences, they avoided her when rumors arose, even though they once circled around her. They seemed afraid of getting something on her.

This experience made Sophia very depressed. She thought to herself, I am not depraved, but dirty.

Now, though, Martin has made it clear to her that she is the victim and that she doesn't need to blame herself for it.

This gave birth to a new emotion in Sophia's heart.

What Martin gave her was nothing more than sympathy.

Also included...... Understand.

Long live understanding!

What Sophia needs is understanding.

......

The breakfast was plentiful, with a variety of high-energy foods such as bacon and cheese in addition to porridge. This is also required for activities in Northland. In order to combat this cold weather, people must eat more high-energy and high-calorie foods. The natives who live in the far north will even eat the fat of the sea beasts raw. And the white bear, a predator, covets fat when it kills seals.

Just as everyone was having eaten and drunk and was ready to leave, the Count appeared.

Although the commander of the fortress provided good treatment, Martin thought that it would be good to come to the tavern to hear more news from the rivers and lakes, so he led everyone to the tavern for breakfast. So he bumped into the Count at this time.

The Earl's face was full of anger, and behind him, in addition to his two members of the personal guard who acted as bodyguards, there were three men who were obviously guards of the fortress. Presumably, in addition to protecting him as a distinguished guest, he also has the duty of surveillance. After all, this count had done that kind of thing in the fortress before.

As soon as Chu saw him, Sophia stiffened again. But it was back to normal right away.

The current Sophia, because of Martin, is not what it used to be.

"May I sit here, please?"

The Earl said that he had actually used the word please. It can be seen that he has now seen Martin's energy and knows that he is unusual.

"I can't see what kind of character you are. "But this is the north, after all, and it is my home turf." Please be able to understand this. ”

"Yes, you can send a carrier pigeon and call dozens of wagons of people to cut me. Martin said. "But I'm also doing big things, and after a delay, I'm afraid you can't afford it. ”

"Maybe, but this big deal, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with her. The Earl said.

Martin nodded.

"So you're on good terms with her?" said the Earl, "and that's human nature......

Martin shook his head. "I'm innocent with her. ”

"So, do you have a crush on her?"

Martin shook his head again, "If it's really a woman I like, how can I give it up because of your offer? I have nothing with her, and I hate you talking like this." Remember, she's a free-willed person, not an appendage of mine. Why don't you just tell her about it?"

The Count turned his head disapprovingly, facing Sophia.

"I know what happened at the beginning. Isn't it good to live that kind of life? Not only do you not have to worry about eating and drinking, but you can even say that you have fine clothes and food. Carefree every day......"

"I don't want that kind of life!" Sophia said suddenly and loudly. The people in the tavern were taken aback, and they all looked this way.

Seeing this, Martin frowned, and then gestured to Shirley.

Immediately, Shirley made a few gestures, and smoke rose all around. It just surrounds this place, isolating those idle people and so on.

"You don't want to ...... But some people want it. You don't know, they are asking for such a position and they can't get it. Think for yourself about the money he spent on you at the beginning. It's enough to support ten famous actresses. The Earl continued to speak shamelessly. "I'm not as rich as him, but I won't treat you badly. ”

Sophia didn't speak, but her face was cold. People immediately understood what she meant.

"Oh, do you refuse?" said the Count, his face sank. "I said what kind of innocence are you pretending. I don't think you enjoyed those days, why don't you resist? You have a chance......

As if struck by a hammer, Sophia immediately hung her head. A few crystal clear tears dripped down.

"I know all about those things back then. The Count said with a shy face. "They probably don't know yet. I thought you were some kind of forced martyr woman. If you really wanted to resist in the first place, you could have ...... it a long time ago."

I interrupted. Martin said, "How old was she?"

The Count was stunned.

"You mean, let someone of her age rebel against a big nobleman? Martin added. "In addition to not having the strength...... How much will she know about that? Has anyone taught her the truth?"

"Not only that, but that's what I hate the most. Those who don't have a backache when they stand and talk. casually accusing others of not doing their best in a situation...... Yes, maybe she didn't go out and cut the neck of a bastard like you with a broken piece of porcelain, or ruin her face with strong acid. But at that time, did she really take the initiative to please you?"

"So what happened back then, can you really blame her like this now?" Martin said excitedly, "not only was she not equipped to resist you then, but she would not have had that consciousness because she was poisoned by you. But was that her fault? Didn't you teach her badly? And now, when she understands things, will she still be as obedient to you as she was then? And even then, did she really enjoy that kind of life? Didn't she realize her mistake because of some hazy feeling of her own, and knew that it was wrong to do that?"

"You torture her now with that immoral thing that you obviously caused...... I can't tolerate this kind of behavior. ”

"So, get out of here. Martin said, "The next time we meet, I hope you don't do that common sense again." Otherwise...... I'll kill you. ”

After saying that, Martin's eyes immediately made the Count feel the truth of this sentence. Therefore, even if he was scolded so badly, he did not get angry, but slipped away in a hurry.

"Thank you, thank you. When Sophia raised her head again, her face was already calm.

Martin's words freed her from the one thing that had been tormenting her.

That is, why didn't you resist desperately in the first place?

Where there are women, there will be jealousy.

Before, there were other female holy warriors who accused her behind her back, saying that she was a subordinate by nature.

The reason is that she actually acted as the immoral mistress of the aristocracy for so many years, and did not take advantage of that night to cut the throat of the other party.

Those people...... They happily pointed out that if they were in that position, they would have risen up and rebelled a long time ago. It's desperate and won't obey the other party.

For other things, Sophia can probably defend herself in her heart. But this thing ...... She couldn't forgive herself, it was the one who continued to torment her night after night.

Why didn't you resist that way in the first place?

Am I really a bad woman? As they say?

This matter is a key point for Sophia.

Therefore, with the help of Martin, she was able to face the Earl with her chest held high and her head up, so easily she was re-defeated by the Earl's words.

Now, however, Martin told her again.

The point is not to torture yourself with the past all the time. It's about whether you can change your mind. In the past, it was not used to torture oneself, but to remind oneself not to make the same mistake again.

Moreover, some mistakes are made out of ignorance...... For those mistakes, maybe a little more forgiving...... For example, if a child worships a tyrant because they think the other person is cool, then the meaning of doing so is different from that of an adult. And even adults can commit sins out of ignorance.

However, sin is a sin and requires repentance. Sophia is different after all, she is a victim. This is also what Martin reminds repeatedly.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― huhu, the interval between these two updates is short. Please support me a lot.

It is said that setting up a stall to sell some small things is not very successful, and it seems that it is not so easy to be a hawker. However, after selling it twice, although there are still leftovers, I can't muster up the courage to sell it again. In particular, I haven't had the courage to go to the school gate to sell or something.

Recently, a domestic original animation on the Internet is very good "Forward, Davarich". This film has sparked a big debate on the Internet. The evaluation of this film is very extreme. I like to say that I am very moved, and I am in tears. And what I hate is that I can't wait to hang the street lamp of the author and the supporter. I think this is a reflection of a certain situation in China to a certain extent. The sudden outburst of extreme hatred makes people shudder. The United States can tolerate the existence of the Communist Party in the United States, and the Communist Party of Japan can leap to the third largest position. Why can't some people in China tolerate this film?" "I object to every word you say, so I'm going to cut your throat." It seems that there is no room for compromise in the country, only one faction defeats the other faction and then steps on 10,000 feet so that it will never be able to turn over.

If that's the case, then we're all good at keeping to ourselves, and we're bleeding enough.
