Chapter 41: Go and Return
In the grass beside him, Luthman watched Ekor fall into an increasingly dangerous situation, and couldn't help but cast a glance at Akachi's lurking place, but he couldn't help but see that the elven assassin, the enemy of d'Estaing, the great evil, had disappeared, leaving only a large patch of artemisia grass swaying lonely in the wind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This is what happened to them who repeatedly rescued and protected that elf?
Lusman felt as if he had been punched in the chest, but the situation did not allow him to think too much, and seeing that Alex's longsword was about to cut into Ekko's mouth, he subconsciously pulled out his own self-defense weapon, small enough to hide in the cuff, made of strange tubular structures and seemingly fragile brackets.
With a thunderous crackle and a vague smell of sulfur, something even smaller erupted from the weapon's firing end and slammed into the blade at a speed that the human eye couldn't chase. The long sword in Alex's hand flew out in an instant, and the blade was broken in two. This unexpected turn of events shook everyone, and even Eko couldn't help but shrink her neck.
It seems that Eko is out of danger for the time being. Lusman thought.
The problem is, the alarm hasn't been completely lifted, and now that his whereabouts have been revealed, what can he do next? The problem that plagued Lusman soon ceased to be a problem, as a hand grabbed him by the collar. Lusman subconsciously turned his head, the guy behind him was wearing the crow-black guild costume of the Quenching Dagger like the other Assassins, this assassin who was dormant in the shadows must have been waiting for a fool like him to show his head, how could he only pay attention to the enemy on the surface, but forget that the assassin is better at using the shadow as a shelter?
The Assassin who captured Lusman tried to escort him out of the bushes, but when he noticed that the old man was unable to stand on his feet due to a leg injury, the Assassin gave Lusman a hard kick. Poor Lusman fell to the ground at once, the pain on his body making him wail involuntarily, and the weapon in his hand rolled out. A hand reached over and picked out the oddly shaped weapon, and Luthman's gaze slowly moved up the man's boot, eventually seeing Alex's contemptuous face.
"You see, after a short time, I've found you a companion. Alex smiled at Ekko.
"Luthman!" exclaimed Ekek, who was about to step forward to help his fallen comrade when he was blocked by the two assassins whom Alex commanded with his eyes, and then the cold weapon pressed down on Ix's shoulder, making him unable to act rashly again, and Alex's interest was attracted by Lustman.
"It's impressive. You're a mage in Mufa City? Oh no, you should be a naturalist, right? I was wondering how the Nexus could have arranged for a useless old fellow to be a guide for the unveiler, but now it seems that you have some skills. ”
Alex fiddled with the strange weapon that Lusman had dropped on the ground, and after making sure that he couldn't make the kind of movement just now, he held the weapon and shook it in front of Lusman slightly, and then said, "I'm afraid this thing is from the mage academy that can't teach a few mages, right? ”
Facing Alex's hypocritical expression at close range, Lusman swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, the gap between them can no longer be eliminated, whether there is this weapon between the two is the same, not to mention that this single-shot projectile is simply garbage in a non-bullet state.
Lussman thought that if it weren't for that, Alex might have hit his own head with it, and he was just bent on knocking down the sword that was swinging at Ekko.
As if in response to Lusman's chaotic thoughts, Alex threw the dispowered projectile far away.
"Now that the estrangement has been removed, you shouldn't mind talking about the great evil, right?"
Lusman swallowed again, and he frowned at Ekor before looking down in thought. Alex's boots, however, bobbed back and forth in his vision, tapping urging syllables. At this moment, Alex's words floated above his head again.
I'm disappointed by Ekko's answer, but he's an elf after all, and it makes sense to shelter another fellow elf. But Luthman, you and I are both human, and if we go back to our roots, we are probably all descendants of the Echids, so I decided to give you a little more chance. ”
The voice that was still above his head suddenly appeared in Lusman's ears, Lusman subconsciously raised his head, only to see Alex bite word by word and say: "I hope that when you talk to me, think about Kyle, Misha and Ola, and think about what kind of scourge the lowly elf you are sheltering." ”
That's enough.
Lusman cried out in his heart. On the other side of him, Eko clenched his fists imperceptibly. The elf, who had been away from his homeland for the first time, now understood why Akachi had always been deliberately distant, and why his meek and docile behavior suddenly showed resentment...... Presumably, there are many people like Alex in this world, who insist on blaming Akachi's head for irrelevant sins, driving him into the abyss of darkness. So, he shut himself off, so he treats others as if they were nothing when he doesn't need to disguise, and he sees himself as a tool!
This thought made Icco feel a stir, and he suddenly realized that the reason why Akach had agreed to go with them might be just a subconscious search for a home, and that it had nothing to do with gratitude to Dade, but only from the flame of hope that was about to be extinguished in his heart. And how can a person fear death if there is no hope in his heart? Such a heart will only become a den of demons.
"What do you want to know? That elf isn't a legless thing, how can I possibly know where he is now?" asked Lusman rhetorically.
"You're mistaken, I don't like to hold on to one question, now I want to know something else, what is the secret of Akachi's body?" Alex asked in a voice that was almost like a whisper.
Lusman's anger at Akachi leaving him and Eko behind was completely extinguished by Alex's question. The secret they guard lies on Akachi's back. Several people privately called the scripture drawing that could only appear in blood the blood pattern scripture drawing, and the content on it not only involved the fierce god Gu Bo, but also contained the element of chaos and turmoil.
From Egger's point of view, there are only two terrifying points on the blood-patterned scripture map, one is that most of the gods that everyone worships and believe in are alien races that have invaded this world, and the other is that a rare supernatural person like Eko, known as the magic dragon, can be artificially created. If this were true, then the former would be upside down, while the latter would ...... Lusman couldn't imagine the moment when the goddess of calamity, who stood on the top of a spruce tree and rained down fire and thunder, became a reality.
In view of this, he had wondered whether it was time to end Akachi's life, but burying the truth had the purpose of refuting the existence of homophony, not to mention that Ika felt terrible malice in the place where Akachi was first discovered, who could say whether the evil god Gubo was an illusory delusion or a real force? Thoroughly interpreting the contents of the diagram, and they swore at the time that they would send Akachi to Elada at any cost, of course, for reasons that could not be made clear to the elf who had been a member of the Quenching Dagger, even if there was a repudiation to refute the homophonic precept of not hiding the truth from others.
Now, with the blood of the white sparrow on his hands, Alex who has revealed his true face actually wants to inquire about the secret that even Akachi has not yet learned? No, this secret must not be known to the Quenching Dagger.
Thinking of this, Lusman's attitude suddenly hardened.
"A secret that even Misha can't tell, do you think I, an old man......, will let go?
Lusman turned his head slightly and spat on the ground. The next moment, the pain that made him cry out came from the injured leg, lower abdomen, and chest, and Alex, who was completely enraged, kicked and hit the old man he called his own clan mercilessly, and Ekko, who saw this, struggled as if he lost his mind, and the blade that pressed against Ekko's shoulder then cut blood on his shoulder and neck, and stained the white coat he was wearing, but at least this struggle allowed Echo to break free from the grip of the assassins a little. Unfortunately, Alex apparently gave up on continuing to question the two white sparrows, and he made a hands-on gesture towards his subordinates, and the two unarmed and outnumbered white sparrows became fish on the chopping board.
But the turning point came at this time, and a dagger first flew into one of the assassins beside Ekau, and then Akachi's figure appeared as if out of the shadows among the branches above everyone's heads.
