Chapter 16: A New Companion
In a pitch-black cavern, two rows of braziers add a bit of light to this dark and damp place. Several stalactites hang from the ceiling of the cave, and water droplets drip from the stalactites from time to time, striking the stones on the ground, making a refreshing sound, and the rhythm of ding ding dong is like playing a divine comedy.
The cave is very spacious, like an underground palace, although it is not ornately decorated, but the natural magic gives the palace a different charm. Manhalt sat on the throne in the middle of the palace, several wrinkles had crept up his face, and a long scar stretched across his right cheek. His long hair was shawl, long black hair interspersed with a few strands of white hair, and Manhalt's white hair fluttered in the breeze in the cave. It's like a few long rivers flowing on the black earth, and the majestic courage is like Manhalt's heart. I don't know if these strands of gray hair are dyed white by the long years, or the masterpiece of the troubles of the world. The blazing gaze shows his royal demeanor, and this king's breath cannot be accommodated in this small underground palace.
Manhalt played with his gray hair, and his eyes could be seen as he was deep in thought. He was anxiously waiting, there were things he had thought about, but things were moving faster than he had imagined. Aisha's death made him a little irrational, he had already lost one of his 'daughters', and he could only pray for the safe return of his other 'daughter'.
The footsteps of two people in the cave echoed between the empty rock walls, Manhalt stopped what he was doing, pricked up his ears and listened quietly, after confirming that it was the footsteps of two people, from the sound he knew that it was Bart and Lana who came back, and his heart could return to a calm heart. But in an instant he was a little sentimental, and only two people came back, so that bastard of Abyss did it anyway.
"Boss, I've brought Miss Lana back!" Bart knelt in front of Manhalt.
"Yes. Well done, how about Lana not being hurt!" The moment Manhalt saw Lana, the image of the king instantly melted, and he asked with concern. He walked under the throne and hugged Lana.
"It's all my fault, I almost lost another daughter. Crystal tears swirled in his eyes, but they didn't come out.
Each of these seven deadly sins is brought together because of Manhalt, and each of them has their own story. Their relationships are complicated. Barthes was like Manhatt's courtier. Lana and Aisha are orphans picked up by Manhatt, who treats them like daughters. Abyss is rebellious by nature and pursues great power, and although Manhalt treats him in the same way as a disciplinarian son, perhaps because he is too harsh, Abyss always thinks that Manhalt does not look down on him.
"Do you want to ...... Abyss?" asked Barthes.
"Forget it, Father, I'm not hurt, and he won't do us any harm if he's freed from the seven deadly sins. Although Abyss killed herself, Lana still couldn't be ruthless to her former companion, and she interceded on Abyss's behalf.
"Lana, you're still so kind, I'm also at fault for Abyss, I'm too harsh, and make him think that getting stronger will make me approve of him......" Manhalt blamed himself.
"Father, this time it was a mistake of my judgment, next time I will arrest Abyss and let you dispose of him. Lana swore an oath.
......
After a few more pleasantries, Manhalt asked Lana to rest. Took Lana away. He and Barthes began to discuss business.
"Barth, I thought Lana was superior to Abys, and she was thoughtful. Able to see through Abys. Didn't expect ......"
"Boss, Lana is too young, thoughtful but too considerate of her companions, too kind-hearted. Although he was aware of Abyss's movements, he preferred to believe him. ”
"Abyss can let it go, but he has to find out who he is in contact with, otherwise how would Abyss know Lana's identity. actually tricked Abyss into doing something to Lana. Manhalt clenched his fists.
"Boss, I told you that Abyss was in contact with a mysterious man. But ......"
"Forget it, don't talk about it. You go check this matter. Don't let Kim know, he's a multi-faceted person, to be honest, I can't see through him for so many years, and I don't know which side he is. ”
"I know this, and that Hayne was rescued by Leon!"
"This Hain is a hot potato, so it's better to let the mercenary group take over. Originally, I wanted to accept him as a member of the Seven Deadly Sins, but now Lana's identity may not be hidden for long, and I may not be able to take care of another trouble. That's fine. ”
"That kid's strength is really good, his last blow didn't aim at Abys's veins, I wonder if he already has a six-pointed blade. ”
"It's possible, but being forced to such a point by Abys, his six-pointed blade is still very immature. It's still a fledgling! Blades that can't be used to the extreme state are just garbage in my eyes. ”
"Why did he save Miss Lana? ”
"There are so many things that I can't figure out! If we figure everything out, we won't settle down in this underground anymore, will we?"
"Boss, if nothing else, I'm going to track down Abyss!"
"Go ahead, I'll take Lana and wait for you in Lelang. ”
After Barth stepped back, Manhalt fell into deep thought, the future of the Seven Deadly Sins is very difficult!
Half a month later, in the barracks of the headquarters of the Blue Corps, Leon sat beside Hain's bed and read a book.
Hain had been in a coma for half a month, and when Leon brought him back, everyone thought he was dead. But Hain's amazing recovery ability stunned Leon, who had a lot of experience, and his body had fully recovered in half a month.
Hain struggled to open his eyes, as if he had had a big dream. He dreamed of this scene more than once, one snowy night, and he cried under a sawn down tree holding the fruit of an ice crystal shell. He didn't know why he was crying, he just felt that he had lost something, something that was precious, and no matter how hard he tried to think about it, he couldn't remember what it was.
Hain saw Leon sitting at the head of his bed reading a book, but he didn't expect that as the leader of the mercenary group, he actually took time out of his busy schedule to take care of himself. In fact, for two months, no matter how busy Leon was, he would spare some time to take care of the teenager.
"Sir, can you bring me a cigarette?" Hain's body was still very weak, and his voice was a little small.
Leon's surprise was taken aback by Hain's words, and he put down the book in his hand and took out a pack of cigarettes from the cabinet beside Hain's bedside. "It's your cigarette, I found it in your clothes. Leon lit a cigarette for Hain.
Hain took a deep breath and coughed violently twice, but his body instantly smoothed out.
Leon looked at this young man, it can be said that he was still alive after such a serious injury and left no sequelae, which can be said to be a miracle. He snorted twice, "You kid, you were dying when I arrived, and you told me at that time, 'Can you bring me a cigarette?' ”
"Sir, how's Reynbal......? It's all my fault!"
"Oh! That kid is also really good at nonsense, usually let him train well but don't listen, but you don't have to worry about him, no arm is a lesson for him, I've already figured out a way for him, he can't leave here yet." You don't have to blame yourself too much, as a soldier, this consciousness is still there. ”
"That's good!" Hain's heart was comforted a little.
"Alright, I'm leaving. You take care of your illness, and when you are well, I have an important task for you. ”
Hearing the task, Hain almost jumped out of bed with excitement, "What kind of task, leave it to me now, I will definitely do it perfectly." Hain sat up and threw himself on his shoulder, showing Leon how well he was recovering, but he couldn't take it anymore after two blows. "Ah...... It hurts...... It hurts ......."
"Your task now is to recuperate, and we'll talk about it later!" Leon suddenly remembered one more thing, stopped and said, "By the way, I almost forgot! I arranged two weirdos for you, and you will be a group from now on, get along well! Come in! The two boys at the door." ”
As Leon was leaving, two men came in through the door.
The first to come was a big man of more than 1.9 meters, and the highland of wisdom was not a single grass, shining like a light bulb. Small eyes and big nose, bare-chested mercenary uniforms tied around the waist, two huge chest muscles beating involuntarily, no matter how you look at it, you don't want to be a good person. As soon as this man came in and saw Hain, who had woken up, he knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed, and there were three more big pits on the floor at once.
Hain was taken aback by the man, "This is ...... Oh my God, but what's the matter, kowtowing is useless, I don't have any money!"
"Hain?" the big man asked short, forcefully.
Hain nodded repeatedly. "I'm ...... I'm Hayne. I don't owe you any money, can you get up and talk?"
"Thank you!" "Admire!" "Awesome!" "I'm ...... Lore ...... Erte: "Hayne realized that this man only said two words at a time. Seems to be a person with a language barrier.
"This stupid big guy is called Lorte. He can only say two words at a time, his name was Lorte, because the name is three words, singular! He can't say it, he says it twice at a time, Lorte...... Erte, that's why we call him Loerte. ”
Behind the big man walked in a young man of 1.8 meters, this man was handsome and chic, with short yellow hair, big eyes, double eyelids and a high nose bridge, no matter which side he looked at, he was a handsome guy!
"My name is Geist, and Lorte has seen the battlefield where you fought, and that's ...... Tsk, it's miserable, you can see that it's a hearty battle, and Loerte is someone who admires you for fighting with all your might, and he can't look down on someone like me. "For a few seconds, the man's mouth was like a machine gun bombarding Hain.
"Well, I'm admired inexplicably, and I'm also very ...... Helpless!"
The big man stood up and pointed his finger at Geist, "Talk!"
Geist stretched out his hand and hit Lorte on the head, "Your sister, just say two words are so incisive, are you a leader? Did I let you summarize? I let you be incisive...... Incisive ...... "Geist beat Lorte violently, don't look at Lorte's muscles but never fight back.
Watching the two people fight and make trouble, you know that the two people have a good relationship. I wonder if these two can become Hain's companions, maybe just ask Hain not to be spoiled by these two alternatives.
