【Chapter 22】Ambiguous Choices
"Kelly!" Cedric rushed out of the tavern, twin knives in hand, and quickly chased in the direction Kelly had fled. www.biquge.info Just as he was about to catch up with them, the two men behind him glanced at each other, and took out the short knife at his waist as he ran. Suddenly, they quickly stopped, turned around and swung their knives, and their swift movements were done in one go.
Seeing two cold lights coming, Cedric instinctively swung his twin knives, and while blocking the attack, he flew and jumped over, and the sparks from the friction of the weapon instantly illuminated both sides of his side. But Cedric didn't stop there, and continued to run wildly forward. All he wants is to catch Kelly. The two men were stunned for a moment, then clenched their daggers again and chased after Cedric.
Kelly looked back and saw Cedric chasing after her, and as she ran, she touched her lower back, ripped off a small round bag, and then fell hard to the ground. A fog suddenly rose behind her, and she looked back, and an unexpected scene had happened.
Cedric had already been prepared, and at the moment when the fog exploded, he raised his arm to cover his mouth and nose, closed his eyes, and rushed out of the fog desperately. Seeing this, Kelly waved her hand to the other two men beside her. The two men took out their daggers knowingly.
Several people were still running, and in the face of Cedric's tenacity, these people were also surprised in their hearts. At this moment, the two men who had been left behind by him also chased after him. The man running with Kelly in front of him suddenly stopped, clenched his short knife, and turned around to stab him. But Cedric quickly flipped to the ground and tumbled under the feet of the two men.
The two men in the back couldn't stop for a while, and the four of them suddenly fell together. Cedric was like a cheetah in the jungle at this time, carrying two knives in his hand, quickly crossing various obstacles and chasing his prey. "Kelly, stop me!" Hearing a shout behind her, Kelly looked back as she ran, "You want to catch me!" She laughed.
Not aware of the road ahead, the moment she turned back, she stumbled into a branch that poked her head out, and her silver bell-like laughter came to an abrupt end with the sound of the branch being broken. The thick branch hit her head, and she fell to the ground on her back.
Cedric came to Kelly's side and looked at her breathlessly, as if his heart was about to jump out. "You... You can really run, you" Kelly's beautiful eyes also fell at this time, and she covered her forehead with her hands, like a little rabbit who had done something wrong. "Why are you chasing me so much!" she said angrily, but Cedric laughed instead, but his rapid breathing made him look a little unnatural.
"I, I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself. Cedric said and withdrew the double knife, and just when Kelly was puzzled, he stepped forward and grabbed her "Hello, Miss Kelly, my name is Cedric......" Cedric said politely while helping Kelly clean the dust on her body, if it weren't for the previous scene, it would be as if it were two couples meeting for the first time.
"Even if I surrender, help me clean my back!" Kelly snorted as she turned her back to Cedric, who helped Kelly pat the dust off her body without complaint, "Miss Kelly, I actually want to know your true face." Hearing Cedric's whisper, Kelly smiled shallowly, "Hehe, doesn't Master Cedric know?"
"You know what?" "The war has already happened. Hearing Kelly's words, Cedric also laughed, "Could it be that attacking Silver Spirit City is your masterpiece?" Cedric's laughter was more like a sarcasm that he didn't believe in this sentence. "Wow, how do you know. ”
"Don't mess with me, Miss Kelly, I just want to know why you have repeatedly murdered me in Prado, and why you have arrested me the first time, just because I am handsome?" he said, slapping her on the back one last time. Kelly turned around slowly, and she smiled as she saw the scar on Cedric's lips.
Her sweet smile and the faint fragrance exhaled from her mouth made Cedric feel fascinated, and after a moment of silence, Kelly grabbed him by the collar with her hand and slowly approached him, "Handsome man, in fact, this time it's also for you." "Hehe, I know a lot about that knife, why don't you let me know more, how about it?" Cedric's tone was slow and steady, revealing more of a malely attractive voice.
"Don't get complacent. Kelly snapped and pushed him away, and at the same time stepped back, watching her step by step, Cedric sighed helplessly, but still had a masked charming smile on his face, "Now that you're alone, do you think you're going to run out of my palm?" he said silently, while reaching out and gently patting the double knife on his waist, reminding Kelly.
However, Kelly's face did not show any panic, it showed more of a faint smile, and on her round face, two cute laughing nests made this smile even more charming. A pair of quiet and clear eyes looked directly at Cedric, and the soft moonlight poured on her body, making her appearance even more waves in his heart. "And what makes you think I'm alone?"
As soon as Kelly's words fell, he only heard the sound of footsteps behind Cedric, and he hurriedly looked back, and the four men who attacked him just now came from a distance supporting each other. Seeing this, Cedric smiled and shook his head, "You think these idiots can stop me?" His words were contemptuous enough to provoke Kelly in front of him.
However, Kelly raised her hand and gestured, while nodding, "Admittedly, but now." As soon as she finished speaking, more than a dozen people ran out of the jungle behind her and around her, armed with bows and arrows, vigilantly aiming at Cedric, as long as Kelly gave the order, they would shoot Cedric with ten thousand arrows.
Seeing this, Cedric was shocked, but his face did not show it, he still crossed his hands in front of his chest, quietly looking at Kelly in front of him, his eyes did not blink. Kelly's heart suddenly became nervous, and Cedric was the first person she saw in the face of the current situation.
After a while, Kelly waved her hand, and the people around her suddenly put down the bows and arrows that had been set up, "You go." "Why don't you kill me. "You're stupid, I'm too troublesome to kill you......" Before Kelly finished speaking, a person next to him lowered his head, "My lord, don't bother...... trouble" "Shut up for me!" Kelly scolded sharply, and the subordinate immediately closed his mouth tightly.
"Actually, you're not as important as I thought, our target is really Izzy, and now I think he's been heavily surrounded, and your companion, now in El Town, I guess I'm also suffering, where to go, you choose. Kelly turned around and left, and as she left, everyone around her followed silently, and on the silent road, Cedric was left alone.
He stood there and pondered for a long time before he stepped out of his frightened numb legs, and his hands were still trembling in his arms. The moment the bow and arrow were aimed at him just now, he seemed to feel a fear of death, if he said that he was not afraid, it would be a lie, "Hmph, what's the big deal." Cedric pursed his lips as he spoke, and walked briskly back to the path he had come.
Just as Cedric was returning to the town of Eyre, the light of the fire gradually became clearer, and he saw it and ran over quickly. I saw that the town of El was already full of flames, all the houses were burning, people were screaming and running in all directions, or some people fell to the ground and cried, or some people rushed into the houses desperately, and the village was in chaos.
Cedric arrived in the village, and he was stunned by what he saw. At this moment, a woman threw herself into Cedric's arms, "Sir...... I beg you, my child is still in the room......" Seeing the woman crying bitterly, he nodded hurriedly, and just as the woman was pulling him to the house, the house that had been engulfed in flames suddenly collapsed.
Seeing this, the woman immediately dropped Cedric, let out a terrible wail, and threw herself on the ground. Cedric sighed heavily and shook his head, at which time the woman hurriedly got up and cried and threw herself into the collapsed house, Cedric hurriedly reached out to stop her, but only tore off the corner of her clothes, and so he helplessly watched the woman fly into the raging fire.
It was too late to be sad, he hurried to the tavern, and he lost his direction in the chaotic streets, and could not find the tavern just now. He was standing in the chaos of the streets, closing his eyes, letting the fleeing people accidentally crash into him, and the terrible cry that lingered in his ears.
After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, remembered the location just now, and looked back, only to see that the tavern in front of him was already in ruins, and the remaining flames and gunsmoke around him were still filled with the smell of blood. He strolled to the ruins, and when he saw the charred corpses in front of him, his face no longer showing the cynical smile, but a look of shock and disbelief.
"Afra, Afra!" he shouted, quickly removing the charcoal that had been burned to ashes, ignoring the hot debris as he carefully identified the charred corpse. When he checked all the corpses, he didn't find Afra, and just as he was panicking, his eyes suddenly fixed on one place, which had collapsed and piled up into the ruins of a hill.
He rushed forward, using both hands and feet, to peel off the coke, which still had sparks remaining, only to see that a large water tank was completely crushed underneath. Cedric hurriedly opened the lid of the water tank, only to see Afra curled up and soaked in the water, he reached out and forcefully lifted Afra out of the water tank and put it in a clean place.
Seeing her motionless, Cedric trembled and removed her armor from her body, folding his hands together and pressing hard against her chest. With these few hard presses, Afra still didn't respond, and then he pinched her nose and put his mouth to her lips, doing serious artificial respiration over and over again.
After a few rounds, Afra squirted out a mouthful of water, and her face showed an extremely uncomfortable expression, seeing this, Cedric smiled and sat down on the ground, his face showing the relief after exhaustion. After a while, Afra slowly woke up, and she was lying on the ground with her head turned to her side, staring blankly at Cedric, who was smiling at her.
"Am I dead?" Cedric didn't answer her, but nodded with a smile. "Then why are you here? "You just died, and I rescued you again, say, how can you thank me?" Hearing Cedric's words, Afra was extremely uncomfortable after choking on water, but a smile appeared on her face, she struggled to sit up, and threw herself into Cedric's arms.
This made Cedric panic a little, and his hands didn't even dare to hug her, "Hey, you're the first one I've ever seen." "The first one?" "The first person to drown in a fire." After a while, Afra let go of Cedric, but she still sat in place, weak. "After you left, we were attacked...... her tone was weak and powerless.
Seeing her angry appearance, Cedric smiled and touched her head, at this time, the wet ponytail kept dripping with water droplets, "It's all over......" Cedric said and stood up, he understood that it was not enough to save Afra alone, and at this time Izzy did not know what kind of danger he was in.
Afra tried to get up, but before she could get up, she fell to the ground, and she didn't have the strength to move at this time. Looking at her pitiful appearance, Cedric smiled and stretched out his hands. He gently stretched his hands from the sides of her ****, which immediately made Afra's face red.
She wanted to break free of his hand, but she didn't expect that Cedric picked up Afra, and as soon as he used both hands, and at the same time his body also exerted force, he immediately put her on his shoulder, "Hey, don't hug me like that!" "Oh, how can you hug me or not, you can't walk ...... now anyway" In this way, Cedric carried Afra out of the ruins, and her white face showed a look of displeasure......
Tiara walked on her back without blushing or panting, while Izzy carried her halberd and rested her head lightly on her shoulder. "Tiara...... "What's the matter? We're in the southern mountains. At this time, Izzy saw the sweat on Tiara's neck, and he whispered with concern, "Let me go." ”
"What's the matter, aren't you in a hurry to go home?" Izzy nodded slightly, "Let's rest for a while." Hearing his words, Tiara directly let go of his hand, and Izzy fell to the ground with a butt, "Oops...... "Maybe out of anger, maybe out of inattention, in short, Tiara's face did not have any concern, and her white cheeks were still cold and serious.
She sat across from Izzy, starry eyes, looking at him quietly, as he kept kneading his injured ankle, which reminded her of a time when she had fallen and injured her foot. Thinking of this, Tiara took a deep breath and reached for Izzy's foot, which made Izzy feel a sharp pain for a while.
Izzy gritted his teeth and endured the sharp pain, "Tiara, what are you doing?" he said loudly, with a painful expression on his face, but Tiara looked at him with an impatient look, "Hey, are you a man, what is this little injury!" Tiara said as she vigorously cracked his leg, and a piercing pain suddenly spread from his leg.
Izzy hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from screaming, but his long and narrow eyes had never been so wide, and sweat was running down his forehead, and it seemed that this pain was really unbearable for ordinary people.
"I'm telling you, don't pretend to me!" Tiara snapped, taking off Izzy's boots, and at that moment, with a sharp pain, he grabbed Tiara's arm and panted, "Tiara... Don't ......" Tiara glared impatiently, her hands still clasped around Izzy's legs.
"The wound is ...... underneath" "Oh. Tiara agreed, and sat down with both hands to turn over Itch's legs, and Izzy screamed and fell to the ground, and with the strength of Tiara's legs, she rolled over and fell to the ground in great pain. I didn't expect that Izzy had never been tortured like this since he was a child, and today I met it.
Fortunately, Izzy, who had climbed to the ground, saw the branch in front of him, and he took the branch and bit it tightly in his mouth so that he could not scream. Tiara, on the other hand, casually hugged his leg and helped him lift his pants, only to see that the flesh on his calf was cut open by something, and the blood all around him had already dried up, but fortunately this time it did not hurt the muscles and bones, but the muscles were torn apart.
"I tell you, don't let me down, I've never healed anyone. Tiara said, stretching out her long, slender fingers and pinching the wound. Izzy felt a chill first, then a sharp pain again, and his teeth were digging deep into the branches. "Just squeeze out the bruises. ”
As she spoke, she squeezed the wound repeatedly, and suddenly crimson blood flowed out of the wound uncontrollably, and after a painful struggle for a while, Tiara tore open Izzy's trouser leg. "Thiara, what are you doing!" "Your wound needs to be stitched up, or your blood will run dry." ”
Hearing this, Izzy lay on the ground and hurriedly turned around, only to see Tiara tearing the fabric on her trouser legs, and the loose fabric tore thin threads in her hands. "But do you have a needle?" Tiara laughed coldly, pulling out a sharp dagger from her body, and Izzy was shocked, "What is this for?" "Give me the branch!" "No ......"
In the middle of the jungle, which should have been silent after nightfall, there were now terrible screams...... (To be continued.) )
