Book IX, Chapter 14

For a moment, in Gigmont's mind, which was extremely concentrated, the world in front of him slowed down. The short moment was stretched to a few seconds, and she clearly saw in the electric flint and flint that Zino's skillful and swift but traceable attack trajectory was forcibly changed by him, and the subjective energy in her mind took effect, and the energy blade pointed at Veryl's heart, and the metal sword body had not yet touched the surface of the glittering golden crystal, and the strong energy pressure had already caused it to burst out of cracks.

Veryl, who hadn't shown the slightest expression from beginning to end, actually showed a painful expression, and her attack was stunned, but her recovery speed was obviously faster than Zino. The long scythe retracted, and the heavy scythe swept forward, striking Zino's wrist that stabbed him in the heart, and his wrist was pushed back into his chest, and the force applied to his whole body in an instant. Gigmont even saw the dent in Zino's ribs as he struck his own wrist in the chest.

"Zino!—"

Is his name Zino?

He knows you, and you deserve his name.

Sue sù his name.

She said that to herself suddenly in the depths of her own heart.

"Who the hell are you, Zino...... Judging by your appearance and age, you and I shouldn't be from the same era......"

Zino's body flew upside down like a cannonball, and even Gigmund was only about to dodge his destructive body due to its speed.

Boom!!――

His body slammed into the solid metal wall in an instant, and clods of dirt splattered in all directions, and metal flew over. Zino fell helplessly from the large pit in the wall, the lights in front of him flashing warning messages of overload. Although Veryl on the side is also on the verge of overload. But the frequency of the triggers in the chest has been disturbed.

"The second target is confirmed, and the forced shutdown procedure is executed. ”

"What?"

Verille stood high above the rubble. An extremely condensed beam of water elemental light shot out, aiming directly at Ruti beside Gigmont.

Zino, who had overdrawn his energy, once again increased his speed to the extreme at this moment. He raised his deformed right arm and fended straight at the attack that pierced his mechanical limbs.

This has never been the case in Veryl's library of numbers, and judging by her number files, this completely replaceable add-on debugger is not worth Forty-Six's way of organizing her attacks. For a moment, her visual information could not be synchronized with her thoughts, and the brief pause was enough for Zino's high-speed movement, and he grabbed Ruti with his still intact left arm, and met Verrier with the same terrifying momentum that he had been knocked away.

The energy sword pierced through the chest, and the penetrated energy trigger finally flickered frantically a few times and darkened. Veryl showed an extremely human expression of pain, and even threw away the scythe in her hand, covering her broken heart with both hands to reveal the internal microtubule structure.

Veryl, whose circulatory system had been removed and replaced, would not have suffered a fatal blow. But the destruction of the energy trigger has made it impossible for her to defeat Zino.

"Ah......h

For a moment, Gigmont saw that Zino even wanted to reach out and help the struggling Veryl up, but after hesitating, he didn't choose to do so.

"Let's go. Zino turned off the trigger, the heat of the energy trigger causing the metal armor around his heart to soften.

At the end of the final metal corridor is the exit to the Tower of Babel, which is also the boundary of the conclusion of the Black Wings Sky City Chamber. Stepping out of this gap in the barrier that has been destroyed, it is the freedom and sunshine that have not been seen for half a month for a long time.

"Uh-"

If there is anything to describe Zino's situation at this moment, it is undoubtedly the suspension of the movie. A qiē movement instantly stopped, and even his facial features, which were already indistinguishable from humans' vivid expressions, were frozen vividly.

"Gremmel?"

Gigmont's heart instantly turned cold. As the designer of the biggest trump card here, Grimmel undoubtedly has the means to forcibly command and even force itself to destroy the machine under extreme conditions.

"Alas, Zino, it seems that you have hidden it from me well. Grimmel sighed, clutching an old-fashioned control panel in his hand. The control screen projected by the magic array was skillfully manipulated by him, "It took so many mistakes to accumulate before I discovered it." What a dereliction of duty. Let me clear those useless memories for you and get rid of your troubles!"

The first time. Instead of drawing his sword to attack Grimmel in the enchantment high above the platform, Gilgmont leaned into the ears of a stationary Zino.

She gripped the small sword in her chest hard. Slowly but firmly said:

"Alexander Grom. It's your name, and you remember me because I'm someone you like. ”

The bright red color that had penetrated Zino's iris instantly faded, and he struggled to move his limbs, and the energy sword that was about to fall was once again held fiercely in the palm of his hand.

"Ji ...... Gigmont—"

A hoarse voice sounded from the man's vocal cords, as if he had suddenly broken through some barrier, and he stabbed the energy trigger in his heart with the energy blade of his energy sword-

"That's, that's the core of the control......" Luti muttered to himself on Zino's shoulder.

"Gigmont Lezwitz!!I know you!!-"

In the mouth of the sensory ecological cyborg, which has been tamed for more than twenty years, a desperate roar that only humans can utter suddenly erupted.

A light puff of smoke emanated from the remote-controlled circle in Gremmel's hand, which slowly dissipated in the firelight.

"Let's go!"

In the distant light, the energy trigger that had been cut off by Zino himself fell to the ground, emitting a weak yellow light, and finally fell silent. The sudden surge of the Cross Brigade Special Operations Team enveloped Guigmont and Zino, who were helping each other to leave.

Grimmel from above let out a long sigh and turned to leave. Struggling to her feet, Veryl looked at the Cross Brigade not far away, holding weapons aimed at her, and with a painful expression, she slowly turned and disappeared into the colored light of the barrier.

The town of Dimi, located in the southern part of the province of Cotesor, seems to be painted with a delicate glaze in the dusk grapefruit glow, and the rustic folk customs that permeate the heart of Osiria melt into the semi-warm breeze, making it particularly peaceful and pleasant for those who are lucky enough to breathe it.

One of Dimi's most striking views is her all-wooden house. From the bell tower in the north of the city to the museum in the south of the city, almost every striking building is made of solid mahogany and heavy nanmu wood through a mortise and tenon structure. In the simple combination, it exudes an extremely reliable sense of security.

Between the paths where Mu Xiang walked, the two demons hurriedly got out of the carriage. He didn't have time to check the map in his hand, and at the same time looked at the confused signs around him in confusion.

The reason why they are called demons is that they have no intention of covering the most obvious demon wings behind them, the dark wings look a little weak in the sun, and the blood vessels under the wing membrane give it a layer of purple hue, and then through the silver fluff, under the soft light of the grapefruit, a sharp breath will be covered up amicably.

The hours after dusk made the residents who came home from work slightly crowded through the antique alleys, and the appearance of the two demons made many of the surrounding human races stop and show curious eyes, but it was obvious that the watchers had already had such an awareness, facing the curiosity of humans. The boy with long red hair gestured to the passers-by with a helpless smile from time to time, while the girl beside him turned her face proudly, as if she was deliberately avoiding the relationship with her partner.

"That's how you lost time. ”

After a few minutes of forbearance, Mastma silently grabbed Lovian's wrist and instantly pulled him out of sight of the humans around him under the force of his wings.

"I'm kind of half-human—"

"Give me the map!" Masterma ignored Lovian's arguments, snatched the atlas from Lovian's arms, and looked at the tall hexagonal tower in front of her, and she briefly compared the buildings around her. After thinking about it for a while, I decided on my position.

"Shimizu Pavilion No. 11...... It's close!"

Walking towards the east, less than a hundred meters, Lovian saw Mastma's ears twitch as he walked in front.

Sure enough, around her new home. She secretly set up a monitoring circle, although no one has a direct stake in her now, whether it is as the founder of the Black Wing or the former Supreme of the Winged Demon Clan. Beware of unprovoked threats has become a habit of life.

Against a backdrop of gold-covered sunlight, Orka Ivey Sarbaneswan wears an apron with white flowers on a black background. Standing at the door with folded hands and smiling, they waited for the two to visit.

It was the Orka they had never seen before, gentle and soft, smiling like water. Sharp and proud--as the commander of the legion, it seems that he never belonged to her. She really did what she wanted in her crying, stubbornly turning herself into a child. Parting, waiting, giving up, betraying...... After the vicissitudes of life and the changes of the world, five hundred years of ups and downs have been washed away as she agrees with her responsibility to give up the black wings, although her appearance still maintains the beautiful years of cardamom girl, but no matter who sees the ten thousand stars in those purple eyes, it is impossible to agree that she is really as pure and innocent as her appearance.

The precipitation of the soul leaves the clarity on the life, which is the vicissitudes of peace by the winter stove.

"Orka......" Masterma raised his hand to cover his mouth, "how-"

"Welcome. She beckoned to them gently, "Sweeney, come out, don't hide in the house!"

The plain room was decorated by Orka alone, in the style of the Winged Demon - all wooden floors and ceilings, and a pair of crossed swords hung from the walls of the whitewashed main hall. Behind the door is a small Winged Demon Totem.

Taking off her shoes at the door, Orka happily led them to the living room. At her urging, Sweeney peeked out of his room a little timidly.

Looking at this child, who was about ten years old and looked extremely delicate, and was no different from the Siwu in his memory, Lovian and Mastema were stunned.

"Come here!"

"Hmm...... Mom, who are they......"

Sweeney and they sat at the other end of the mahogany tea table in a traditional kneeling position. The aroma of lemon tea wafted in the small room, reflecting a bit of elegant and chic taste.

"It's rude to speak. Orka reproached with a smile.

"Yes...... Mom's friend?"

"No," Olka shook her head, "they're Mommy's family." They're demons just like their mothers. But the wings behind their backs don't hide like we do - this is Lovian, Lowe. It's okay for Pooh to call you uncle, right? It's good if you call Aunt Muffy. ”

"Hmm!" Perhaps sensing the closeness of his kind, little Sweeney quickly became close to the two elders of the Blood Moon clan, and although the title Orka taught him made Lovien and Mastma laugh a little, it didn't affect the warm atmosphere in the slightest.

"Go study, don't make the teacher blame you for not finishing your homework. After a few minutes of pleasantries, Orka asked Sweeney to go back to his room. Sweeney blinked her clear purple eyes and nodded, still looking at Lovian's wings with curiosity, and trotted back to her room.

Lovien and Mastema held warm teacups in their hands, and Orka looked down at the shiny table on the other side of the table. The white silence lasted for a few seconds, and finally Mastma slowly lowered his teacup.

"Orka. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Are you alright?"

"It's fine. ”

"Life is all right—what is your income?"

"Orca had his own private account when he was in Black Wings. Although some of them were transferred away in order to avoid suspicion, life is definitely no problem. Orka raised his head and looked at the faces of the two people, "I really want you to buy an ordinary house in an unknown neighborhood in an unknown city with no name, just like Orka, and live with everyone." Come back from work every day and watch your kids play with Sweeney and go to school together...... There is no past, and there is no responsibility to live in obscurity for a lifetime. In the end, lying under a tombstone that will be weathered in less than a hundred years, it will be forgotten by everyone within a few decades. How wonderful. ”

She dragged her chin and looked at the faces of the two men again and again. Masterma lowered her head slightly, somewhat humbly avoiding Orka's gaze. Then suddenly she burst into tears.

"yes, I'm sorry—"

Orka held out his hand, and between them was a small gray flame. Under her skillful control, Mastma's tears were just steamed.

"Thank you for coming to visit Orka. Actually, before. Orca was a little worried about whether Francis would come. If that's the case, I'm afraid Orka will run out of words. Abandoned Black Wings. He even gave up all the responsibility of reviving the demons, and single-mindedly wanted Siu to return to Orka's side - you are so responsible, don't you like it?"

Lovian exhaled deeply, not looking directly into Orca's eyes.

"Orka, you don't know how much I want to be like you all the time with a childish attitude towards life. When I went to bed at night, looking at Muffy's side face, I really wanted to take her and Xuemo away while she wasn't paying attention, and no one would tell me - but it was impossible, completely impossible. Each demon clan is different, I betrayed my own people in the past, I could have allowed more people to survive, but because of my obsession with revenge, I gave the lives of so many compatriots, and made the people who trusted me suffer for so long. I don't think I'm going to be able to survive a second betrayal myself, so I should say I'm sorry for not being able to meet your hopes. ”

Orka blinked her pretty eyes and reached out to press Lovian's shoulder, not letting him bow down and apologize.

"In a little while, Orka will go to the south to kill people. At that time, Siu will be able to return, and Svenioka will give him a new body and become a new member of the Orka family. You don't like Orka killing everywhere, but ...... Orka can't stop, Orka assures you that this is the last time, the last time. After this I will move one last time, and I will not tell you the address, but Orka will visit you from time to time with Suswini. Orka is also very sorry for you, because Lowe and Maffe, you also have a different view of human beings, right? No matter what life is, you should live as happily as possible. Since they are all sorry for each other, it is best to forget about them. ”

Orka said as she picked up the glass jug in her hand, filling it with the cups that Lovien and Mastema had in hand.

A few simple words once again decided the life and death of tens of thousands of human beings.

"Finally got to the point of something strict, be quiet, don't let Sweeney hear it!"

"Although you only told us your address, ...... If there is a real person, I am afraid that I will still be able to find you. Sue me who may threaten you. ”

Orka shook her head, the smile on her face disappearing, "It's possible for anyone, it's a threat until Siu returns." Whether it's because of the past or the future, there will always be people who will find trouble with Orca. Although now, I can resonate with Sweeney's power, and the normal level four is not much of a threat to me, but what if it is the fifth level? Will Orka be able to protect Sweeni and Siu in the depths of his soul? Orka is worried. ”

Mastma pressed the cup of lemon tea on the table with vigor and said resolutely:

"Come to us! I promise no one will be able to snatch Siu lightly!"

Orka shook her head with a wry smile, combing her stray silver hair with her thin, almost transparent white fingers, the rabbit doll in her hand rubbing the corners of her clothes alone.

"Instead of dodging the threat...... Orka didn't want to see the people she betrayed!" She quickly wiped the corners of her eyes so that no one could see her tears, "It's good to have you caring...... However, Orka has lost so many things because of his concern, don't ...... Continued......"

Silence came again, and the three demons slowly drank the lemon tea in their hands. The aroma of tea still permeates the not spacious but bright living room, neither because the steam that continues to rise becomes more intense, nor because of the gradually cooling temperature. The sunset outside the window faded into darkness after the crimson, and Orka shook his apron and stood up.

"Stay for a meal, stay at Orka's house for the night, and say goodbye tomorrow. ”

With that, Orka turned on the switch of the magic light next to the door, and the steady white light blocked the darkness outside the window, bringing a warm sense of security to the place. (To be continued......)
