Chapter 250: A Mission That Is Hard to Leave
Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
"Mr. Mephistopheles!, I wonder if you will grant me this willful and reluctant request right now!?" the girl in the red dress in the crowd stared hopefully at the child of the abyss, who was at a loss. At that moment, it actually made many people have a sense of "it turns out that this guy is the man she is destined to be".
Maybe many guys in the crowd are envious and jealous of this "half-elf" who can make beauties favor, but Andre, who was still groping for a way out of the way just now, can't be happy about the special attention to beauties anyway. If it is the best choice to slip away as soon as possible before this moment, then it is undoubtedly a little unrealistic to pretend to be unfamiliar with the girl in the red dress who has fallen into a low point in her life in front of everyone, and leave herself. Although, in fact, they are indeed far from being familiar enough to need to share weal and woe in this "life-and-death situation".
It's just that many times things don't turn out to be of personal will. Oh no, it should be said that it will not change with Andrei's personal inner thoughts, but it has already started an unexpected scene with Andronie's words. No matter what the girl in the crowd thought, at least the effect she wanted was probably achieved. The son of the abyss, who became the focus of everyone's attention, sighed helplessly, the people around him had already noticed a few small friends around him who were as conspicuous as him and equally special, if he still planned to forcibly leave with a few orc girls at this time, I was afraid that any guy with an IQ online would think that there must be something strange hidden in this - just a few guys dared to leave the town with three orc female slaves and enter the sight of the orc cavalry, isn't this strange enough!?
Rather than become the target of all these desperate people who want to break through the orc cavalry to intercept the human race, it is better to directly admit the "adultery" with Androni and see what she has in mind.
What made the children of the abyss feel helpless the most was that there was clearly no special friendship between him and the girl! Not only the imaginatives around him, but even the orc girls behind him gave him suspicious looks.
There is nothing more helpless in the world than - you have clearly not done it, but you have to pretend to be just right, Lao Tzu dares to act and dare to be, it seems to be very responsible, but in fact it is stupid to be helpless.
In any case, Andrei had to admit that the hand of hatred of the girl named Androni, oh no, it should be said that this hand of attention was very beautiful. So much so that although he didn't know, he had to pretend to have a tacit understanding on the bizarre "stage" in front of him.
"If the beautiful Miss Androni has been entrusted with it, how can she refuse?...... If you can do it. Although he didn't know what the girl in the red dress wanted to do, now that the son of the abyss had already made a decision in his heart, he was no longer the bewildered look he had just now.
"Thank you very much for listening to my impudent plea at this moment!" the girl's beautiful face hung tears of joy, as if the half-elf in the crowd was her only salvation.
The simple smile of joy is like a little girl who has received a favorite gift. In front of this scene, not only did people who didn't know the truth believe more and more that there was some special story between the girl and the half-elf, but even the son of the abyss himself couldn't help but wonder if he had missed something very important.
At this time, people, including Adrian, who was only a few steps away from Androni, were focused on speculating about the relationship between the two because of the girl's clear and bright smile. People's attention was attracted by the beautiful face of the girl in the red dress who unloaded her burden from the bottom of her heart and entered the sun, and subconsciously ignored the dagger that was still tightly pressed against her white neck.
"I would like to ask you, Mr. Mephistopheles, to send me on the last journey of my life as a sacrifice of the earth...... That's my only request. After the joy, the girl calmly bowed slightly in Andrei's direction.
At that moment, like all the humans present, André was still thinking about the specific meaning of the girl's words, but the blood mist that splattered out was already faster than everyone's thoughts, and the picture was fixed on this moment like a red flower blooming—a gorgeous flower that a beautiful girl bloomed in front of everyone's eyes at the cost of her own life.
The blue and cloudy sky, the dilapidated town in the sun, the shocked stares of the people, and the orc cavalry outside the town seemed to be the background to her quiet bloom, the embellishment of the shining end of her young life!
The expected uproar rang out from the crowd, and at the moment when everyone's eyes were attracted by the red-dressed girl who was lying on the blood-spattered ground, the idea of taking the opportunity to slip away only existed in Mephistopheles's heart for a blink of an eye, and then the children of the abyss gave up this unrealistic idea. Although there were many people staring at Androni, as the girl fell to the ground weakly, more and more people who were obscured by the wall turned their eyes to him.
"Just for...... Do you want me to give her one last ride?" The Child of the Abyss smiled wryly at his companions who were waiting for him to make up his mind, and then turned into the sacrifice of Garantia, and walked with his hands through the crowd in the direction where Androni had fallen.
"Come with me. Andrei commanded his companions behind him.
As an outsider who was suddenly dragged into the situation, the Children of the Abyss had thought that the girl in the red dress suddenly pulled herself in just to find a breakthrough from the dead. In his impression, the slightly withdrawn and proud girl was smart and beautiful, but there was a little indifference between her gestures that was not obvious but rejected thousands of miles away. The more polite she is and the more serious her expression is, the more obvious this unapproachable sense of estrangement becomes. Although they had only been together for a few days, and the exchange between them was only a few words, André felt that the girl named Androni was wearing the mask she wanted to show to others at all times. It was a feeling as twisting as the squire officer who was once in awe of him. The last scene where Androni was smiling like a flower just now even gave him the illusion that a girl's acting skills had been fully sublimated. Now it seems that delusions are indeed delusions, including those suspicions and precautions that have been skipped in my heart one by one, all of which are just my own boring conjectures.
If you want to calm down and discuss why you have these illusions of self-destruction, it is simply because the soul traveler from the other world never thought that someone would choose to die in the form of self-termination. Especially when it is known that the soul of the person who commits suicide is not accepted by all the gods after death!
Ants still steal life, which may be one of the reasons why the gods are very resolute in their stance on those who voluntarily give up their lives.
It is precisely because of the wisdom of intelligent life that many strange ideas are opposed to the instinct of life, survival and reproduction are the most basic instincts of all living beings, but love as the premise of reproduction has become a concept that is recognized and even praised by the public, and the pressure of life will also make some people occasionally give birth to the depressed idea of giving up life. From the perspective of the biome alone, love seems to have become an emotion that hinders human reproduction, and the meaning of life has become elusive because of intelligence, and there is not so much chaos in the simple world of animals. Philosophical and other things are only intelligent beings who are not compelled to survive have the mind and conditions to explore and study them.
But instinct is instinct after all, it is a "law" that all life cannot get rid of, deeply rooted in the blood, and affects all people in the dark. For this reason, people will develop an inexplicable affection for the opposite sex in their youth, and try to avoid any harm to themselves because of fear.
What kind of determination did the wonderful girl in the prime of her youth choose to ruthlessly cut the carotid artery in the eyes of everyone? The moment the blood splashed, the son of the abyss found that his opinion of the other party was only superficial, for the girl's last request, and in order to avoid becoming an outlet for ignorant people, and out of wanting to understand the girl in the red dress in more detail and profoundly, for such a reason that there was not much logic at all, Andre kept pushing away the crowd with both hands...... Until the crowd began to make way for him spontaneously.
Then the children of the abyss saw the girl lying in a pool of blood. The red dress was mixed with the blood on the ground, making it difficult to distinguish it. The picture is like a red peony in full bloom, but it is shocking. A beautiful girl as delicate as a flower, even at the moment of withering, she is so poignant!
"What right do you have to touch her! elven bastard!" Adrian shouted at Andre with a hideous face. In his opinion, this sudden appearance of the half-elf was the opportunity for Androni to truly resolve to die. It's just that the guards of "Mr. Nineteen" are nervously confronting his soldiers, completely separating him from the girl in the pool of blood.
"It is her last wish that you give her a ride, and only you are qualified to say her final farewell, young priest of the earth. Mr. Nineteen's beautiful beard was very delicately groomed, but his overly serious expression at the moment made it difficult for him to feel a little close, and the guards surrounding the girl made room for the Son of the Abyss and his companions at his beckoning. Out of respect for the deceased, apart from Adrian, who was constantly shouting on the other side, there was not a second person present who spoke out against the half-elf who was said to be the priest of the earth to complete the funeral ceremony for the girl.
Yes, it's the ritual of the funeral.
For almost all of Garlandia's intelligent races, a funeral is a very serious matter. In addition to the participation of relatives and friends, it is also the most common and most respected practice for the priests of the gods to perform rituals for those who were believers in the gods during their lifetime.
Obviously, Androni does not worship Garlandia, the goddess of the earth, but in this world, the gods are not completely opposed, as in the religious wars of the other world. The three goddesses of creation were originally three sisters, and most of the other gods were descendants of them or were inextricably related to them, the sun god Herrera and the moon god Igria were the two descendants of the goddess of the sky, Abith, whose real god names were Herrera Ablis and Igría Ablis. According to what the children of the abyss know, all the gods in this world basically belong to the same god line. For a young girl whose soul will not be accepted by the gods after death, the funeral of the priest of the gods has become her only hope at the time of death, although it seems somewhat inappropriate to pray to the priest of Garlandia for her as a follower of the god of the sun. But the girl who made the request at that time obviously had no way to arrange her future affairs one by one, and she could only simply hope that the half-elf who looked like the priest of the earth would pray for forgiveness from the gods for her.
When Andre slowly crouched down beside the girl in the red dress, Androni was not completely unconscious. The carotid hemorrhage caused her blood pressure in her brain to plummet, and she was not completely unconscious, perhaps because she was lying flat on the ground, so that the blood could still barely supply her brain through the blood vessels on the other side.
The girl who had just made people feel proud and strong, and who was unwilling to succumb to fate in the crowd, looked extremely weak at the moment, she was weak but trying to breathe, and tears continued to overflow from the corners of her eyes.
"Please, please...... For me, pray...... Mei Fei, Fei ...... Mr. ...... "The pale-faced girl seemed to have exhausted all her strength at this moment before she could barely express her wish.
"I can only ask the gods I speak to intercede for you, and it is difficult to say whether it will work or not. ”
The Child of the Abyss smiled wryly as he examined the wound on the girl's neck, which was stabbed with such precision that it did not hurt her throat or esophagus at all, which may be one of the reasons why she was still able to maintain consciousness and barely communicate.
The girl's expression didn't change much, maybe because she couldn't hear what Andre said clearly, but of course it was also because an expression was too much for her to bear at the moment. Otherwise, she might have complained that she hadn't said anything to comfort her in these last moments, right?" the Child of the Abyss thought helplessly.
Observing the blood stains on the ground, he uncertainly estimated the amount of bleeding of the girl. Andrei knew that there was little time to hesitate if he wanted to do anything. It's just the fact in front of him that he has to hesitate - if the girl who fell in a pool of blood survives under the gaze of everyone, then the situation is likely to return to a stalemate, and his party will be swept into the whirlpool of right and wrong between the guy on the opposite side who is full of abuse and fights for the girl. This was undoubtedly not what he expected, otherwise he would not have chosen to turn a blind eye to the safety of himself and his companions as the first priority at the time when the girl was forced to die.
Now, just walking away has become an unrealistic option. The idea of saving a life when he was able to do so was floating in the mind of the Son of the Abyss, who was not cold-blooded enough.
How nice it would be if it was a hateful or heinous fellow who was forced to die? In that case, he would have enough reason to convince himself that he would not be saved...... A beautiful woman is indeed a unique creature born with inexplicable privileges!
When the son of the abyss fell into a contradiction and couldn't choose, the girl's lips began to shake with difficulty again, and she made an inaudible voice: "I'm sorry for you, and for you...... Companion...... Tim Ma ...... Annoyed ......"
The girl's last words before falling into a coma seemed to touch some very soft places in Andrei's heart, but the child of the abyss, who was struggling inside, stared at the top of the body of the girl in the red dress with an unusually distressed expression—there was nothing in the eyes of everyone else. But for Andre, who is different from the ordinary, from the moment Androni found him in the crowd, it was actually difficult for him to pretend to turn a blind eye.
Because after that moment, above the girl's body, where there should have been some sun, air, or wind, there was an unusually striking phantom that only André could see, the size of a girl's arm.
It is a symbol of civilization from another world that no intelligent life in this world knows - a gray-green exclamation mark representing the will and attention of two powerful gods!!
