Chapter 51: Confused Whereabouts
Southwell is a world dominated by humans. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Human beings are the only intelligent race that inhabits this vast and fertile land, but they are by no means the only life form, and there are also quite a variety of "animals" and "plants" here.
In fact, another manifestation of Southwell's human domination is that only species whose existence is conducive to human development can survive. As for those plants that are harmful to people or "monsters" with strong aggression and certain lethality, they have long disappeared into the dust of history with the continuous expansion of human settlements.
Christopher isn't some rare beast, and it's never a plant - it's common sense that plants are often difficult to move, not to mention how plants can be imitated so vividly.
So how do you explain the fact that she is "not human"?
......
"Thank you, Christofferl. ”
The holy white light that shone on the entire field of vision was about to disappear, and the heavens and the earth gradually recovered from the blank to their original appearance, and at the same time, another figure except Christopher appeared, along with the slightly suppressed, more like a strong spirit.
"There's time to be thankful and think about what to do afterwards. The smiling expression was retracted, and Christopher put on that unapproachable appearance again, although at this time, even if she did not exude that aura like the icy wind of the Far North Mountain Range, she could scare away a large number of cowards.
Human beings always have some fear of the "other" that is similar to themselves, and the more similar these non-human beings are, the greater the fear they bring.
"After casting the 'Heavenly Punishment Light', I couldn't do anything for a short time, and I couldn't use even the most basic magic. You look like you have both energy and mana left, but, sorry, because the source of mana is almost depleted, and the ice that seals the wound on your waist will soon dissipate, which means you'll have to work with the boy to get rid of it quickly...... Where are you looking?"
Expressionless and without any tone, Christopher, who had been staring into the eyes of the person in front of him, barely had any strange emotions in the content of his question.
"Ahem!" The man on the other side coughed heavily when he heard this, and the knight, who was covered in armor in addition to his helmet, and which was covered with various scratches and damages, suddenly noticed the girl's piercing gaze like a sharp blade, and twisted it for a while but still didn't turn his head, "No...... Nothing!"
He had just stared at Christopher's chest.
After the fierce battle, Alphonse was not the only survivor among the brothers, the captain of the garrison of the City of Flowers, the only reinforcement sent by Ikavia to avenge Lance, and Kyle was also alive.
The knight's expression was not as leisurely as Alphonse's, who had just emerged from the glacier, but there was one thing that the two had in common, and that was that he was seriously injured. Needless to say, the consumption of physical strength and magic energy was not mentioned, his forehead was hit hard, and there were blood stains in the corners of his eyes and ears.
The most serious wound was on the waist, where the armor had been cut into a circular mark, and the blood stained the thin clothing around it, and the wound was deep enough to see the bones, but the armor around it was also covered in blue magical frost.
At this moment, Christopher's ice magic temporarily stopped the bleeding from the wound, and also numbed part of the knight's pain.
"It's really a person who doesn't do anything, life and death, the moves have already been issued, why do you deliberately not aim at the enemy's vital point? Because he is your brother, he doesn't want to kill him? Then are your previous battles all child's play? If you don't have the consciousness of killing each other, why do you start the battle? Is it just to vent your anger for a moment to 'avenge' me? I don't know the specific things, but you and your brother must have a reason to fight when they meet, right?"
The momentum and tone suddenly became harsh, and the successive questions and rhetorical questions were like a storm, so that Kyle, who was looking around for it in front of the girl, could not refute it at all, and finally, with an embarrassed face, he had to say helplessly:
"Indeed, I have to admit it, as you said, although that man is my brother, he is my enemy in both private and public affairs......! It's really ugly, because I was really emotional for a while, and I thought about the old love indecisively at the moment of life and death, if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago, well, that's right. ”
Kyle's speech seemed brisk, but in reality, the knight's heart was still filled with endless confusion.
Thanks to Christopher and the questions about her, he took it to heart first, and even now that he knew his mistake, Kyle had to bear it, and he couldn't kill this brother who was burdened with the two heinous crimes of "killing the whole family" and "betraying the country".
At the end of the brother's death, when the two of them delivered the final blow that decided the outcome at the same time, a detail led to a question, and the sudden assumption in his mind made him can't help but let go of the attack that should have hit Alphonse's head, and finally only destroyed his arm, but he himself was injured by his brother's heavy blow to the point of coma.
However, I really can't understand it!
"First," Christopher blinked, and Christopher, who had the face of a human girl no matter how she looked at it, seemed to understand what Kyle was thinking, and slowly said the tangled doubts in his heart, "That man, your brother has also left his hand." Even if he hadn't at first, he could have killed you after knocking you unconscious, and you're alive and well. ”
"That's because you...... Well, that's true. ”
Kyle, who was about to refute, suddenly raised his head, but still couldn't face Christopher's clear gaze, so he had to admit it honestly.
"Second, I don't know exactly what it is, but you have doubts about the cause of life and death that makes you have to meet him, right?"
“...... Absolutely. ”
He wanted to take a turn off the topic that was too heavy for him by flirting with him, but in the end he didn't make such a stupid move, and Kyle felt that he couldn't hide any thoughts in front of Christopher.
"There's no time for you to wonder, you have to make a choice as soon as possible. ”
The light dissipated without a trace, and the surface form that had descended several meters due to the ravages of the pitch-black element was revealed, and Christopher turned indifferently, and the content in his mouth was not quite in line with his usual style.
"If your brother used to have a little pity for you, but now, he has been captured by the endless darkness, and he doesn't know if he can listen to you. So, you have to fight him, or, just stay on the sidelines and watch 'us' fight him. Even now I can't do anything. ”
In normal times, in other things, Christopher will definitely try not to interfere with other people's thoughts and practices.
But now it's different. The other party is a "fallen man" who uses black magic and sells his soul to the darkness, and the scene of the tragic death of the master Devin and his companion "Evening Primrose" because of the despicable and cunning schemes of someone who also fell into the darkness is still vivid, and Lance, who treats himself like a relative, is also considered to have died at the hands of these people...... At this point, Christopher couldn't hide her hatred.
It used to be her most misanthropic place about humans.
