Chapter 163: Little Girl
The surprise is because it came suddenly, so it was surprising. For Age, it was a surprise that Moros Blade was able to absorb necromantic fire and complete a true 'deep state'. When the Sky Breaking Sword appeared with a pale blue light, he began to feel the tremendous power flowing within the Sky Breaking Sword.
He was eager to try out how powerful the Skybreaker Greatsword could be in its true 'Depth' state. It so happened that four or five skeleton soldiers came at this time. Probably sensing that a skeleton soldier had been killed, and that he had heard a 'click' sound just now, the skeleton soldiers walked in the direction of Aegie to check.
Edge evolved the Moros Blade into the form of the Skybreaker, and waited for the skeletons to come.
"Click, click!"
When he walked around the corner and saw Age, several skeletons immediately attacked Edge. And as soon as Aiji just held the Sky Breaking Sword, the Sky Breaking Sword gushed out a blue-white air current. The air flow collided with several skeleton soldiers, and several skeleton soldiers were directly shattered by the impact.
"Awesome!"
Seeing the power of the Sky Breaking Greatsword, Aegie was amazed. It turns out that the Sky Breaking Greatsword still has such a hidden power, and if it can continue to maintain it like this, then even if it does not have Giroud turned into magic, it can still exert great power.
"Who?!" However, when Edge was excited, he suddenly looked back at the corner and let out a low sigh.
There were a few bales of hay in the corner, and in the corner of the alley, it was probably from a farmer's house. Just now Aggie noticed a gaze in the corner, and he suddenly whispered because he felt that he was being stared at.
But even when he shouted, there was no movement in the corner. He withdrew the Sky Breaking Greatsword, and at the same time absorbed the necromantic fire of the skeletons that had been shattered just now, and the Moros War Blade, which had suddenly returned to its original form, was a little brighter again. But Age was no longer happy about this, and walked cautiously to the corner where he felt something was strange.
He kept getting closer to the corner, and at last there was movement. The stacks of hay moved, presumably someone hiding inside.
"Who?!" Edge, as he approached, used his wind magic to cut through the hay stacks.
"Ah~!!!don't kill me!" Who knows, as soon as Aegie opened the pile of hay, a little girl's scream erupted.
Age was shocked when she saw it, a girl who was only six or seven years old? What is this child hiding in the haystack? Is it running for his life?
"No...... Don't kill me, big brother~~Woo woo~" The little girl looked at Aiji in panic and immediately burst into tears.
Aggie was stunned for a moment, then startled, and quickly rushed up to cover the little girl's mouth to prevent her from crying. But it was too late, and the screams and cries of the little girl had already alarmed the skeleton soldiers patrolling the city, and Aegie could clearly feel the other streets making a 'thump' sound.
It must have been the footsteps of those skeleton soldiers!
Edge looked at the frightened little girl and said to her, "Hey, don't cry! Now we're leaving! The skeletons are coming, it's not time to fight them!"
Regardless of whether the little girl agreed or not, Aggie picked up the little girl, jumped a few times, jumped onto the roof of the house, cast wind magic to speed up, and left the alley.
As soon as Edge left the alley, a group of skeleton soldiers rushed in. This time, the skeletons were not scattered, but led by a red skeleton with a red bone knife with a larger skeleton than the others. Presumably, the Red Knife Skeleton was stronger than the white skeletons, and it was the leader of the Skeleton Soldiers.
Seeing no one in the alley, the Red Knife Skull twisted its stiff head, looked around a few times, and then turned to the white skeletons and made a series of sounds that were giving orders to the white skeletons.
When the white skeleton heard the sound of the red knife skeleton, they retreated and re-inspected the street. And their appearance is obviously much more rigorous than before. The Red Knife Skeletons had just had an effect on their 'lecture'.
Edge carried the little girl out of the alley and landed on the top of the church's bell tower, the tallest building in the city. There is a small space at the top of the tower that is used to ring the alarm bell. But now no one would ring the alarm, so Aegie put the little girl down and hid in the clock tower for the time being.
However, when Edge wanted to let go of the little girl, the little girl hugged him tightly, afraid of being abandoned.
Seeing her like this, Aegie asked her, "What's wrong with you? Are you scared? Hmm! Don't worry, I'm not going to let those skeletons hurt you." ”
The little girl's expression calmed down a little, she raised her head, looked at Aiji with a pair of watery eyes, and asked, "Big brother, are you a good person?"
Edge was stunned for a moment, then smiled, heartily. Are you a good person? Hearing such a question, Aggie suddenly felt an inexplicable touch. It's as if he's collected everything he's experienced in the past and reviewed it all over again. Maybe that's true, to summarize his past, you just need to ask, are you a good person?
"Why don't you think I'm not a good person?" asked Edge, who was in a much more cheerful mood, looking at the innocent little girl.
When the little girl saw Edge's smile like this, she thought he was quite approachable and no longer so afraid. This may be because she is a little girl, a six or seven-year-old child who does not understand the dangers of the world. Of course, Aggie is not a villain and poses no threat to the little girl.
At this time, the little girl reaffirmed her thoughts and asked Aggie, "Then you are a good person?"
"No! I'm not a good person. Age's rejection of the little girl was of course more of an element of amusement.
"Are you a bad person?woo~~~" Who knows, the little girl cried.
He had to coax the little girl back and say, "Don't cry, don't cry, I'm a good person." I'm really a good person, otherwise why would I save you!"
The little girl stopped crying, made sure again, and asked, "Big brother, are you really a good person?"
"If it weren't for the good guy, would I have saved you? Would I have listened to you? If I were a bad guy, I would have sold you!" said Age, not wanting the little girl to ask any more questions that would leave him speechless.
"Then go and save everyone! Everyone was arrested and locked up in a dungeon. ”
"Mom said that the evil witch is going to turn everyone into skeletons. In that case, Mom will die, Dad will die, everyone will die......"
"I ...... I, I escaped with my mother holding me, but ...... However, my mother was arrested again...... Woo woo ~ ~~" The little girl said, crying again.
Hearing the little girl's words, Edge probably guessed what was going on. It seems that this city is no longer a human city, but the witch who controls the skeleton soldiers. But who is this witch who could do such a thing?
"What's your name? Tell Big Brother, or Big Brother won't save everyone. ”
"Also, don't cry anymore. If your cry is heard by the skeletons, then we will be caught by them. Aegie noticed the skeletons patrolling back and forth from the clock tower, and told the little girl.
The little girl was still sobbing, wiping her face and wiping away her tears. Sobing, she spoke again and again, telling Aji that her name was Yi'er, the daughter of a commoner in the city of Hamanu.
Il-le then told Aegie everything she knew. Agey now learned about the infamous Kills. Then there's the story of the 'weeping woman', the witch who was so scared that she couldn't sleep at night.
Yi'er was a little girl, and when the city of Hamanu was still stable, she often heard adults tell stories about Nuipo.
Of course, adults only talk about these things to scare children and make them obedient. Until then, none of them were sure if Nui Po was actually living in the valley of the slanting sun. It wasn't until one day that Lusi became the lord of the city and began to approach the valley of the sloping sun, that they slowly became convinced of Nuipo's existence.
Until now, the collusion between Lusi and Nui Po has made the entire city of Hamanu a place of entrenchment of skeleton monsters. The people were full of remorse, and they actually approved the shameless Kill to become the lord of Hamanu.
Now Aegie had doubts. Earlier, Maweihan said that Anne had followed General Mag to Nui Po Heights, so where would Anne be? Where would General Mag be? General Mag should have led troops to fight, and should not be in this city. Then it should be in the city to the east.
If it was the old Age, she would probably go to the city east to find Anne immediately. But now that the city of Hamanu has become like this, he has saved Yi'er again, and Yi'er has begged him to save the people who have been captured by Nuipo. In this case, he would never be able to leave alone.
He has decided to help Yi'er rescue the people who are being held in the dungeon. That's the number one goal. The second goal is to kill the fallen This, and then destroy Nuiva and restore the city of Hamanu to its former peaceful state.
He could not forgive him for his actions. As a citizen of the empire, he actually betrayed the country and degenerated into a monster. This kind of behavior is even worse than the aggressive behavior of the Bhikshu Empire. If you don't get rid of it, you won't be fast.
"Brother Aiji, you are very powerful!" Yi'er said after a short rest, looking at Aiji.
Aegie smiled, he didn't expect Yi'er to praise him so much. He knew that Yi'er said this because he had been watched by Yi'er when he killed those skeleton soldiers in the alley before.
"But, Brother Ageie, I can kill those hateful things too!" What Age never expected was that when he was a little embarrassed to get praise from Il, El said that she could also kill skeletons.
This frightened Edge. Yi'er is too young to be affected by violence.
"Because I have this!" Yi'er smugly, regardless of Age's reaction. She pulled out the necklace she was wearing, and to her surprise, it turned out to be a cross inlaid with precious stones!
The question is, how could Yi'er have such a thing?!
Looking at Yi'er, who had completely lost the fear she had at the beginning, Aiji began to feel that Yi'er was not simple. This little girl is a bit out of the ordinary. According to common sense, a six- or seven-year-old child must be so scared that he has nightmares when he experiences this kind of thing. But Yi'er didn't seem to be affected much.
Plus Yi'er has a mysterious cross. Edge felt the need to find out what Il's origin was, and that she might not be the daughter of a commoner. A commoner daughter could not have such a holy cross.
