Chapter 15: The Aftermath
Three days have passed since the terrible battle, and the sad atmosphere in the town continues. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
All of the town guards who fought were left with minor or severe injuries, and a total of five members, including Rodin, were disabled.
At this moment, most of Rodin's body was wrapped in bandages, lying quietly on a comfortable and clean bed. In my mind, the scene of that day full of flesh and blood has always lingered, and every time I think of it, I feel an indescribable sadness in my heart.
That day, when the mutilated bodies of the guards and monsters were transported back to town, almost all the townspeople were stunned. Rodin was only sure at that time that such a monster had indeed appeared in their world for the first time, and that the town of Hidden Escape was originally a small town to live and work in peace and contentment, and the biggest disaster encountered in previous years was only thieves and thieves, who had never seen such supernatural monsters.
Countless townspeople were silent, the relatives of the team members who died wept bitterly, and the survivors silently bowed their heads, bearing their questioning and scolding. It is a kind of luck to survive with difficulty, but it has to suffer from the torment of the soul.
However, most of the townspeople are kind people, and they understand that the team members fought bloodily and risked their lives to protect their families. Rightfully so, the survivors were embraced and thanked by the vast majority of the townspeople. The mayor compensated all the team members on the spot, 10 Orin per person (Orin is Imperial Gold, 1 Orin = 100 Marelli), which is more than the tavern's salary for two years. And the survivors' pensions were doubled.
The townspeople made countless promises, and from now on they would be able to eat and be entertained. The scars all over their bodies have become their medals worth thousands of gold.
His comrades were buried in the ground, and before Rodin could tell everyone about the benefits of the griffin's flesh and blood, the enraged relatives of his comrades burned the monster's corpse, and the mayor took great pains to keep a head and hang it as a trophy in the militia training camp.
Although there was a victory, there was no feast of reward, no joy, and the whole town mourned the lives that had been lost.
The surviving team members left physically and mentally exhausted and sailed to the warm harbor of home.
After a day's rest, the mayor of the town pleaded with the team to stay in the militia and continue to defend the town, including those who were disabled, and even if they did nothing, they could receive double their previous salaries.
However, only five or six people at that time agreed. For most people, the baptism of blood and fire, the tempering of life and death, once is enough, and it takes them a while to heal the rift in their hearts.
Rodin chose to remain in the Guard.
Luckily, they had a week's rest on vacation.
Rodin hadn't been so sentimental for a long time, and since he crossed over to this world, he had been getting up early and working tirelessly and practicing, and he didn't have any extra time to imagine and think, how would he develop in the future?
After this blood-stained battle, I unconsciously felt a trace of confusion in my heart. Just over 4 months later, he was left with a disability, lost one eye, and his hollow right eye is still aching.
What is the future path? Do you stay in the town, be a guard, marry a wife and have children, and return to your roots?
I haven't experienced it in my previous life, and it seems good.
Rodin silently clenched his fist, feeling the power contained in the fist far beyond the past, his whole body trembled, his spine trembled, and there was a crackling sound like a popping bean. There is no doubt that the griffin's flesh and blood greatly strengthens his body, preliminary measurements, his current physical fitness is at least this world, more than twice that of a normal person, the rock breathing method is stimulated between life and death, there has been a earth-shaking change, and the persistence time has increased from the original 1 hour to 4 hours, but when he tried to run the rock breath in the movement again, he has been failing, and he can't help but guess: Can it only be stimulated at the moment of life and death?
What's more regrettable is that because of the blindness in his right eye, his balance and vision have been greatly affected, and his swordsmanship has regressed to a certain extent.
If you want to live a normal life in this world, you may still have such fantasies in the past, but who can guarantee that there will not be more fierce and cruel monsters like griffins? If you want to live a stable and ordinary life, it may also be a luxury.
Leave your fate to the unknown?
A fierce fighting spirit surged in Rodin's chest.
Keep honing, getting stronger, stronger, until you can control your own destiny.
All the pain and confusion are, in essence, anger at one's own incompetence!
In the midst of contemplation and reflection, after a long time, someone knocked on the door gently.
"Ha, Rodin. Long time no see. ”
Four figures squeezed into his cramped bedroom in an instant.
Crow still looked happy, and stepped forward to give Rodin a bear hug.
"Brother, you've worked hard. ”
"Yes, boy, now we all have to rely on you for protection. ”
Behind Clement, Aaron, and Crowe was the shadow that was hidden in the depths of his mind.
A red dress supports her extremely hot figure to the fullest, with charming facial features, snow-white and delicate skin, flaming red lips, verdant fingers, like cardamom, and her nails are also painted blood red.
Her beauty is still so breathtaking. Although there was no contact for a few months, when faced with Biren again, Rodin's heart fluctuated, but there was a little more bitterness. At the moment, he was embarrassed and blind in one eye.
Melissa stepped forward from behind several people, looked at Rodin up close, smiled, and opened her red lips lightly: "I used to think that you were a little too feminine, but now like this, it is really full of manliness." ”
As she spoke, Melissa suddenly stretched out her white palm and shook Rodin's head over.
Face to face, nose to nose, a faint fragrance of roses hit, Rodin felt a cool corner of his mouth in a trance, sweet, warm touch, and extremely soft and glutinous, people can't help but want more, but it is fleeting.
Rodin's first kiss in his two lives was lost in an instant, and the whole heart was flooded with a warm, crispy and numb feeling.
"Giggles. Looking at Rodin's stupid appearance, Melissa let out a burst of laughter like a silver bell, "This is the hero rewarded to me." ”
Is "My hero?" a hint?
"Wow!
"Woohoo"
"Rodin, you are very lucky, the proprietress has taken a fancy to you. ”
"Ouch, I'm blushing, what an innocent virgin. Do you want me to open meat for you? “
Melissa boldly took Rodin's right hand in her arms, and her plump chest pressed tightly to it.
Before Rodin could recover from that kiss, his right hand instantly fell into an incomparably soft place, and the whole person was stunned, even in the face of a monster that killed people without blinking, he had never been so at a loss.
A voice roared deep inside: I'm a man who fights monsters, you're iron-blooded!?
Melissa snickered quietly when she saw his expression.
"Rodin, blind in one eye, has not worn away your charm in the slightest, one-eyed swordsman, how mysterious and full of attraction. “
"When we saw you, we were relieved to know that you were still alive and well. Well, it doesn't affect you. Ahh “
The three of them disappeared without a trace of ghosts and smoke, and closed the door with their hands.
"Uh. As soon as Rodin wanted to speak, Melissa rushed in front of him and asked softly, "Rodin, do you really like me?"
As soon as the words came out, her pretty face was stained with a layer of rouge.
"I, I, should. ”
"Will you dislike my widowhood?" Melissa bowed her head a little sadly.
"No, how could I hurt you, even if it was verbal. I, I like you, Melissa. He stammered, and finally said this.
"Hmm. In the fiery contact, Rodin unconsciously reached out and put his arm around Melissa's slender waist.
After a long time, the lips parted.
staring at Melissa's delicate face like a flower, he suddenly said, "Then we are counted together, right?"
"Huh?"
"You took my first kiss, you have to be responsible for me. ”
"Oh, so I'm taking advantage of you?" Melissa replied through gritted teeth.
"Haha" and "Giggles" The two suddenly looked at each other and smiled, and an indescribable tacit understanding came to their hearts.
Rodin felt in a trance that one second he was still fighting with the griffin beast, and the next second he fell into a sweet first love?
Life is really, like a dream.
