Chapter 10: Challenge Accepted!
Jie Yu's momentum and Cain's cold persistence confronted each other, and neither seemed to want to budge. While saving people's hearts, while sticking to their own consistent style, they will never save those with impure souls.
"Good. After a long time, Cain finally spoke.
Jie Yu finally relaxed, he thought Cain had compromised but it wasn't......
"I'll make a deal with you. Cain turned his back and turned his back against him.
"What deal?" said Jie Yu in a deep voice, his face resolute.
"To purify her curse, you need a sixth-order purification technique. If I cast a sixth-order purification technique, it will be enough for me to cast the same sixth-order Shadow Flame once, and one of my sixth-order Shadow Flames will be enough to kill ten Dark Elf soldiers. β
Why would a priest use shadow magic? It's weird, and at this moment, Jieyu and Yimeng don't notice it.
"Ten ......," Cain re-emphasized, then continued, "I want you to kill ten Dark Elf soldiers to show me, to make up for my wasted magic, and to prove your resolve." β
Cain turned his face sideways, his blue eyes wandering with a ghostly light, "Just with your mortal body." β
You must know that the dark elf soldiers all have the strength of the second and third orders, and even a mortal whose physique has reached the limit is only a first-order superior at most. To kill ten Dark Elf soldiers in mortal bodies, even with weapons and stratagems, it is extremely difficult to do. Cain said this, on the one hand, to see if Jieyu would retreat and test his determination. But more than that, Cain wanted to see what was so amazing about the young man who had made him see the appearance of the universe.
"Ten. I took it. Jie Yu readily agreed, not thinking at all.
Everyone was surprised by this move.
"Is this man so important to you?" young man, do you have any idea of the strength of the ten Dark Elf soldiers?" said White, who didn't like to talk much, was also surprised at this moment.
"Brother Jieyu, Yimeng will help you. Ten people is not a problem either. Yi Meng patted her chest and took the initiative to ask.
"No, he has to be alone, and I'm going to watch him kill ten people. Cain said with a killing.
"No problem. A confident smile appeared on Jie Yu's face, "Ten people, I'll take it." β
Cain squinted at the confident mortal youth, and he couldn't understand where this mortal youth got his confidence.
It seems that Dong Jieyu accepted this challenge completely out of courage and strategy, and it was a young and vigorous move at all, but in fact, Jie Yu also had his own plans in his heart.
"Brother Jieyu...... It's too dangerous, you can't go alone......" Yi Meng's soft voice came from behind Jie Yu's ears, he looked back and saw Yi Meng's brows frowning slightly, and her beautiful eyes showed a worried look, but her frightened appearance was still so cute, every time she saw her cute and moving smile, Jie Yu felt that her heart was healed.
Jie Yu's big hand was on Yi Meng's little head, and suddenly the worries in the girl's heart seemed to be wiped away by his palm, and the warmth of those big hands always made her feel at ease.
Jie Yu whispered in Yi Meng's ear: "Yi Meng, think about it." Cain is unwilling to come to the rescue, so we will have to go outside to find holy water that can remove the curse, and I, a person with no combat power, can do much outside, and I may not even act on your own. So, by accepting Cain's challenge, there is one more possibility. You can also split up with me to find holy water. β
"You're too messy, ten Dark Elf soldiers, it's too dangerous. You can't go, Yimeng won't let you go. Looking at Jie Yu's smiling face, Yi Meng became even more anxious, her eyes were covered with mist, she was really afraid that she would never see this warm smile again.
"I have my plan, even if I can't kill ten soldiers, I won't die, you have to trust me. β
Jie Yu had such a firm look, Yi Meng couldn't bear to stop him, although he knew that what Jie Yu said was to comfort himself, but Yi Meng also knew that since Jie Yu had made a promise, he would not easily break his promise.
Since he promised, he will definitely come back alive!
In the end, Yi Meng endured the tears in her eyes and nodded at Jie Yu.
Cain looked at the girl and Jie Yu, and the appearance of you and me was also a little impatient: "Are you finished, just come with me when you say enough!
With Cain and a little tail-like Yimeng behind them, the three of them walked out of the ward building and returned to the hospital hall, where the rebel soldiers gathered. Along the way, Jie Yu recounts to Cain how Cher was seriously injured and finally rescued by them, and Cain is disgusted by the young man's overflowing compassion.
"There is nothing wrong with being kind, but foolish kindness may only be a breeding ground for evil. Cain said, a nostalgic figure in his mind, with a very gentle face that closely resembled Cain's own, "I once knew a friend, and you resemble him. β
Cain's tone turned, his voice was low, and the face in his mind vanished.
"But in the end, I had to kill him with my own hands. β
This sudden remark surprised Jie Yu, he did not delve into the cause of this story, but only carved Cain in front of him, his lonely figure dragged a long shadow in the moonlight, like the loneliest person in the world.
Back in the hospital hall, where the rebel soldiers were resting, a small bonfire was lit in the hall for lighting and heating, and the soldiers sat around them, while Leona sat alone in a more remote corner, wiping her magic crystal dagger. At the door of the hall, several soldiers were still standing guard, and the elven boy Mir was also hiding at the door, and when he saw Jie Yu discovering him, Mir playfully put his index finger in front of his mouth and shhhhhhhhhh
As the three of them entered the hall, the soldiers' gaze gradually shifted to them, and those eyes were mostly at Cain, and in their eyes there was more indifference and hidden fear, as if they were looking at a heresy.
Cain slowly walked over to Leona in the corner, and Leona glanced at him, reluctantly standing up, her hands on her hips. The rude, fleshy, and sexy woman said angrily to Cain, "What are you doing?"
Cain didn't pay much attention to Leona's rudeness, nor did he care about the unusual gazes of the soldiers around him, and said calmly, "Leona, just give this young man some equipment, just equip it with the same equipment as ordinary soldiers." β
"Heh!" Leona sneered sarcastically, then looked at Cain coldly and teased, "What does this little hairy man want a gun for?"
"Kill. Cain's answer was succinct and forceful.
"Kill the enemy, kill what enemy?" Leona's eyes became fierce, her face leaned towards Cain, and she said coldly, "You think it's up to you here?"
Suddenly, there seemed to be lightning flashing and sparks flying between Cain and Leona.
The two of them stared at each other for a few moments, and finally Leona rolled her eyes in boredom, stopped fighting with Cain the poker face, and patted Jieyu on the shoulder. "Come, young man, what do you want these weapons for?"
"This is my agreement with Mr. Cain, that he will only be willing to save Cher's life if he kills ten Dark Elf soldiers. Jie Yu replied.
Leona had two beautiful women's faces in her mind, one cute and charming, the other delicate and beautiful. She had the impression that Jieyu was with two girls, but she didn't know which one of them was Cher.
"Xue'er is that beast spirit or that human gold worshipper......?
"Xue'er is that Terran girl, my name is Dong Jieyu, and the other beast spirit girl is called Yimeng. Jie Yu introduced it to Leona, and then told the sturdy female cadre of the resistance army how she saved Xue'er by the way.
Leona was a little stunned after hearing the story, and looked at Dong Jieyu with round eyes and said in a daze: "In other words, this Terran woman was picked up by you halfway?"
Jie Yu was a little speechless about the statement "picked up halfway", but it didn't deviate much from the reality, so Jie Yu nodded.
Leona was dumbfounded, slapped Jie Yu on the back twice, and said loudly: "Young man, it's amazing! For a woman she knows from a strange way, she is willing to be born and die." After Leona teased Jieyu, her expression became serious again: "But I don't understand, didn't I ask White to treat her? What are you going to do with that cross-dressing paranoid?"
The "cross-dressing paranoia" she refers to is clearly referring to the priest Cain, who is standing not far away, because under his dirty white cloak, he is indeed wearing a proper priest's outfit...... When Leona said this, she deliberately amplified her voice so that he could hear it, but Cain had a calm face, and her expression was extremely calm and even a little serene: "My profession is a priest, not a crossdresser, thank you." β
But at this moment, Jie Yu's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ordinary medical treatment can't save her, she has been hit by a fifth-order curse......"
Fifth-order curse, Jie Yu's words caused an uproar among the surrounding soldiers, and even Leona, who had always behaved like a fool, became very serious.
Battle-hardened soldiers knew what the concept of the fifth-order curse was for a mortal who had not cultivatedβit was equivalent to death, and it was a very painful death.
"That's a lot of trouble...... Leona mused.
"Another way is to heal with holy water to dispel the effects of the curse. Jieyu suggested.
"Holy water, boy, you really don't understand anything. In this world, all magic medicines are restricted, and all of them are controlled by the Heavenly Ember, and it is almost impossible to find a bottle of holy water in the Terran city. You don't have to think about it. Leona rejected Jieyu's proposal.
Jie Yu glanced at Cain beside him. "It seems that the only way to save Cher is through Mr. Cain......"
"But the woman didn't seem to pass the perverted priest's soul test. Leona's eyes sharpened, and she looked directly into Jieyu's eyes, "Actually, it also shows that this woman's character is not good, do you still insist on saving her?"
"I want to do what I can to save one is one. In my eyes, she is just a girl in pain and in need of help, nothing more. β
"Even if it's risking your life?"
Dong Jieyu nodded instead of answering.
In Jieyu's fiery eyes, Leona had thoroughly understood the young man's fiery determination.
"Well done, boy, you're very kind. After closing her eyes and pondering for a long time, Leona opened her eyes, her apricot eyes widened, and looked at the reckless young man in front of her seriously, "I will give you the best equipment and let you go out and fight well!
Leona made a big gesture towards Jieyu, and her powerful voice was uplifting: "Go!
