Chapter 11: Secrecy
Woo - woo -
The sky was overcast and dark, and thick dark clouds were piling up and accumulating heavier, as if they were about to collapse at any moment. The cold wind howled incessantly, constantly passing through the city, growing from small to large, bringing up earth and rocks, scraping trees, and occasionally rolling up a few not very strong grass huts and throwing them into the air, showing a terrifying might.
The weather in the Red Light City suddenly became cold, and even if you go out in the middle of the day, it will feel bitterly cold.
Although the weather in Barthez Heath is changeable, overnight, it seems like a hot summer day turns into a cold winter, and it is also unbearable. In broad daylight, the entire Red Light City was quiet for a while, and it was originally a bustling and lively place, but now it was also quiet and nowhere to be seen.
This is especially true on the streets, where there are hardly any people walking.
Just then, a horse-drawn carriage hurried out of Istney's house and sped away in a certain direction of the city.
Ba was driving outside, while Sutum stayed in the car with a boy named Lars, who had already been rescued. This carriage was the one that had been rented before, and it had not had time to return it, but it came in handy at this time.
The boy Lars was wrapped in a thick animal skin coat at this time, looking like a ball, and his dirty little face was also clean, looking a little handsome and cute. He was taken home by Sutum, and spent a lot of healing and blood tonic potions, plus his body seemed to have a bit of strange and powerful recovery power, and he was actually five or six points better in one night.
This time, Sutum brought him out, which was Lars's strong request, otherwise, Sutum would let him recuperate for a few days.
“...... Lord Sutum, if my friends knew that I was sleeping in the room of the legendary prophet, they would envy me. Haha, I won't tell them that adults have given me a lot of good things. ”
Lars kept babbling, "My lord, everyone will be very happy if you go to see everyone in the cave this time, and Sister Eloth will also be very happy......
Then his voice weakened a little, and he asked timidly: "My lord didn't look at us for so long, did we do something wrong and made you unhappy?" If so, you tell us, and we will definitely change it......
said that his voice trembled, and he looked like he was about to cry, which made people feel a little sour when they looked at it.
Sutum touched Lars's head and comforted: "Of course not, you are so well-behaved, how can you do something wrong." My brother had some things to do before, and he didn't have time to go. ”
After hearing what he said, Little Lars immediately came to his senses again: "Haha, I know that Master Sutum can't hate us. Also, I'm not a demon cub, the aunt who turned into a monster raised us to sell us in the future, so it has nothing to do with me. That's what Sister Eloth said......"
Sutum listened to these words several times along the way, and he was almost able to memorize them. Lars, a little brat, turned out to be a chatterbox, if it weren't for his poor health and the fact that he was too young, Sutum really wanted to knock him out.
"Well, Lars, brother knows you're smart. ”
Sutum's eyes suddenly flashed with a black light, and he patted Lars's head: "You are tired, you need to rest." Now, sleep peacefully for a while. ”
Lars's body stiffened, as if he was really sleepy, and then he forcibly struggled for dozens of seconds, until he saw Sutum's eyes, and finally collapsed, and then was placed on a piece of cork in the carriage by the latter. A thin snoring sound came from the small nose, and Lars actually fell asleep.
"Finally put your little guy in order, and the ears are quiet. ”
Sutum breathed a sigh of relief and was a little surprised, this hypnotic method was one of the abilities he realized after he rescued Lars, the demonic power skyrocketed. Unguarded, even Ba was able to be hit, and little Lars was really surprised that he had such a strong resistance.
Thinking about how badly Lars was beaten, so quickly and energetically, he had to feel amazed.
"This little guy has a lot of potential. ”
Sutum secretly boasted, and then, silently sensing the demonic power in his body, his mind suddenly quieted down.
In a trance, he seemed to have become a mirror, clear and clear, reflecting everything around him. The driving bus, the galloping horses, the sleeping Lars, Sutum himself, even the cold wind howling in the air, and the dark clouds rolling on it...... They all appear in this "mirror", and movement and stillness can be perceived. However, this perception has a limit, the range is about twenty meters in a radius, and the farther away it is, the more blurred it becomes, like the dark clouds in the sky, I am afraid that what is perceived is only an illusion.
Sutum also saw his body for the first time.
With bright and smooth long blond hair, clear and charming brown eyes, and deep facial features, he is a rare image of a beautiful boy, much stronger than Sutum's previous life. Even so, it made him a little uncomfortable after all.
After a few moments, the image changed again, and everything that had just been suddenly lost its form.
Ba and the steed turned into a large and a small, about fist-sized orange flame in the mirror, Sutum himself turned into a palm-sized, black, burning terrifying demonic fire, and as for little Lars, the little guy turned out to be a finger-sized white light......
"Is this little guy alike?"
Sutum suddenly had a conjecture in his mind.
As his mind scattered, all the scenes just now suddenly dispersed and turned into nothingness.
"Master, I'm about to arrive at the cave. ”
The bus reminded in the car.
"Well, got it. ”
"Cave Round, Elloth, this is another character like Decker who arouses strong emotions for 'me', and this emotion is joy and admiration, so why not leave half a memory?"
In the past, Sutum had come to the cave countless times, and this matter was very secretive, and he didn't even know about it.
This is the first time Ba has accompanied him here.
"Just meet Eloth and find Derk, and all mysteries will be solved. ”
The instincts of the body and the instincts of the demons clearly informed Sutum of this result.
The cave is also a small residential area on the edge of the Red Light City, with many old buildings and an extreme shortage of materials. This place is actually a shelter for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled in Red Light City, and its main body is some orphans who have no father or mother and have little ability to survive.
These orphans could not afford to pay the city tax, but if they were kicked out of the city, they would definitely die, so they were reluctantly placed here. Of course, this is not without a price, and when they reach a certain age, they will become servants of certain families, or be trained to be tools of certain forces, or even test subjects of some rudimentary pharmacists in the city, for various reasons......
The reason why little Lars appeared in the Savage Tavern was because he was used by Deck as a tool against Sutum. When the witch who appeared in the city was still an ordinary person, she once tried to adopt Lars and use him for profit, which also became an excuse for Decker to bring Lars out of the cave.
The three strong men who tortured Lars were all crippled by Ba and left on the road. These people are vicious, I don't know how many orphans have been harmed, if it weren't for Sutum's unwillingness to kill, he would have died a long time ago and couldn't die again, so he would have resigned himself to fate.
The cold wind gradually stopped, and pieces of crystal white feathers gradually fell in the air, and when I looked again, it turned out to be snowing.
The cave has arrived.
This place is indeed dilapidated, and the houses that are connected are not only small, but also untouched. Many houses even lack a piece of the roof, and snow water pours in from time to time.
Surprisingly, the place is also very clean. The surrounding trees, open spaces, and roads are all neatly organized, and there is no filth in sight, which is obviously the result of years of cleaning.
A group of thin, thinly dressed, but lively boys and girls ran out of the house, screaming and jumping together in the clearing, not knowing whether to welcome or fear the arrival of the snow.
At this time, a girl in white came out of the house and said a word to the children. All the children immediately became honest and hugged her one by one, with well-behaved and innocent expressions.
Sutum got out of the carriage with the sleeping little Lars in his arms, and walked over, and the girl turned her head suddenly, and their eyes met.
Sutum rumbled in his head, as if he had been struck by lightning, and forgot everything, only remembering the girl's eyebrows and smile.
The eyebrows and eyes are clear and moving, but they are as cold as ice and snow, which makes people dare not climb high.
That smile, but as bright as a sunrise, makes people unconsciously, sinking into gentleness.
When he was sober, Sutum had already walked to the girl with Lars in his arms. At this moment, Ba did not follow, but just guarded the carriage in the distance.
"Long time no see, Eloth. ”
The girl Eloth showed a complicated expression and sighed inexplicably: "It's been a long time, Su!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she whispered again: "Maybe I will never see you again." You're not Sue. ”
The voice was low and only Sutum could hear it, and this time, he was really shocked.
