Chapter 40: Alfonso

The footsteps were dense but heavy, as if the owner of the sound had considerable weight, and the footsteps were accompanied by the sound of weapons and armor clashing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The jingling sound made Ciri's steps to go out pause, and the hand that wanted to open the white curtain was also lowered at this moment, she tried to get as close to the curtain as possible to listen to every move outside and grasp what was happening outside, at the same time, her hand was always on the hilt of the sword at her waist, ready to deal with all kinds of emergencies outside.

"Who?" said Sophie's voice, who seemed very surprised.

"It's me, don't you know me?" it was a deep male voice, the voice seemed to have some special magic, and Briss, who was lying quietly behind Ciri, suddenly twitched, and the sound of the violent impact with the hospital bed made her afraid of her own exposure.

But Ciri immediately realized that this worry was unnecessary, because she immediately heard such a crash sound around her, and it seemed that all the flesh balls around her were excited at this moment, as for what made them so excited, it was unknown.

"I'm sorry, my comrades and subordinates seem to be too excited. The words of the visitor made Ciri very interested.

Ciri gently lifted the curtain of white cloth and saw a familiar man in black, although the other party was wearing the same black trench coat and black tricorne hat, but Ciri immediately recognized the other party as the General Alfonso!

Behind this general were more than a dozen warriors in armor or masked men in black.

"Uncle Alfonso, ...... you" Sophie was treating Ned when her excitement nearly caused her to make a mistake, leaving her patients in a situation from which she could never recover.

"Don't get excited, you finish the work at hand first. Alfonso took a few steps back, motioning for the other to leave him alone and concentrate on his work.

Stepping back seems to signal the other person to relax, but in Ciri's eyes, it is a sign that the other person has found himself, because he is retreating in the direction he is. She was thinking about what she was going to do next, but the other person took a step ahead, and the speed of her retreat suddenly increased, and she quickly turned around, pulled out the dagger from her waist, and stabbed it straight behind the curtain where Ciri was.

Although there was a white curtain, the light of the candlelight allowed her to see the shadow of the dagger that was about to be attacked.

The black shadow projected by the dagger on the curtain continued to expand, and when it was about to break through the curtain, Ciri quickly pulled out the long sword, and the weak sword body of the long line and the gauntlet on the sword immediately held the dagger attacked by the opponent, and instantly applied resistance to make the opponent's dagger slide to the other side, and the confrontation of the long and short weapons made the curtain in the middle instantly pulled and fell.

The white strip of cloth quickly fell to the ground, and the long fabric almost covered the two of them, but the second encounter between the two made the curtain that was still floating in the air turn into broken pieces, and finally slowly floated down in the air.

When the obstacle had completely faded, Ciri saw the general Alfonso in front of her, the lower half of his face was obscured by a high black scarf, but the stubble that emerged from it allowed her to roughly imagine what the other person looked like, and what impressed her the most was the two scars that pierced the eyes on the other side, as if they had split the eyeballs in half.

"Stop!" the two were about to engage in the next round of fighting, but Sophie's roar stopped their next move, and the soldiers who followed stopped the fight.

"What are you doing here? This is the ward, what should you do if you hurt someone?" Although it was a reproach, Sophie's eyes never took off the demon hunter who was being treated by the other party in front of her.

"Ciri doesn't know what the situation really is, and I can forgive him. Having said that, the golden eyes glared at Ciri as a warning, "But Uncle Alfonso, you know what this place is, and what do you want to do here?"

Alfonso's furious roar embarrassed Alfonso, who he thought was hiding here with bad intentions, perhaps an assassin, and he wanted to strike first, but he didn't think it was an acquaintance he knew with Sophie first.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. Alfonso took a few steps back, then bowed down to his chest in apology, and although the other party apologized for his mistake, Ciri noticed that the other party was still flashing a wary gaze.

"It's fine. From beginning to end, her eyes still swept back and forth over her body, observing the weapon configuration on the other party's body, recalling the action just now, looking for a way to crack it.

Although the battle just now was short, and neither side suffered any damage, Ciri could know the skill of the other party in using the dagger, and she had never seen the speed of the attack and reaction.

On closer inspection, Ciri found that the other party was wearing a slender bayonet sword at his waist, and two muskets were crossed on his chest, and when his body moved, the muskets would make a subtle metal impact with his clothes, and she deduced that he must be wearing armor, but hidden under a trench coat.

"You two get to know each other!" Sophie's ferocious request baffled Alfonso, who didn't know why he was communicating with this unknown person, and the "it's okay" made him seriously doubt the identity of the person in front of him, who seemed to be using the same language as the stranger lying in the hospital bed.

Although Sophie asked for this, the two were glaring at each other, and they didn't have any idea of communication.

Suddenly, his attention was on a delicate revolver stuck in Ciri's waist, his brow furrowed, then he slowly approached the other, his hands unsheathed his weapon, signaling that he was harmless.

"Where did you find this revolver?" Although his tone was calm, Ciri could hear the smell of blood hidden in the other person's tone.

"Picked it up. "Ciri can't say it's a trophy he's scavenged from some ghost under the knife, right?, and judging by the other person's attitude, he seems to know the owner of the gun.

"This is ......" Before the words were finished, Ciri noticed the other party's abnormal movement, and her keen skills grabbed the other party's hand that was about to pull out of her waist, and the move was completely completed by feeling, Ciri found that her eyes could not catch the opponent's movement trajectory at all, and she couldn't notice the time of the other party's shot.

"This is my gun, and I gave it to a trusted subordinate to help me guard the portal to the other world and prevent some creatures of unknown origin from reaching this world. Although the other party seems to be describing a fact, the words "creatures of unknown origin" add to the tone, and seem to be referential.

"This is my trophy, I have slain an enemy who is going to kill me. Now Ciri doesn't want to hide anything from the other party, and now that the conversation has been made, his identity has been exposed.

"For the sake of your relationship with Sophie, I can spare you, but I hope you can go back with me to investigate, and I won't let you wander around this world until I'm sure you're harmless. It seems that because of Ciri's admission of the truth, perhaps because of Sophie, the tone of the other party's voice is no longer as tough as just now, "This is your trophy, I won't interfere, but I want to make sure that you are harmless!"

"Excuse me. ”

The two of them could feel the battle intent and anger in each other's eyes, and now, the short distance of the eye contact could make Ciri feel the blazing heat of the tension between the two sides.

Perhaps sensing that his general was about to face a battle, the soldiers who followed him tacitly changed their position and surrounded the two.

In the current situation, Ciri's hand pulled out the sheathed sword again, ready to meet the coming of the battle, although she was already surrounded by everyone, but the ability to teleport allowed her to easily solve the dilemma in front of her.

"Ciri, come here!" Sophie's shout distracted both of them as the battle was about to break out.

The owner of the voice had now completed his persona, but the other person's face looked pale, as if the work she had just done had exhausted her strength and drained her blood.

Alfonso, who had given up the confrontation, signaled to his men not to hinder him and let the other party come to Sophie's side.

Seeing that the soldiers who had surrounded him gave way, Ciri immediately seized the opportunity to reach the side of the person who called for him, and obeyed the other party's orders.

"He's awake, if you have anything you want to ask or say, hurry up, I'll take care of some personal matters. ”
