Chapter 41: Ned's Request
She was very curious about what Sophie was talking about about her personal affairs, because it seemed that this private matter had a deep connection with that General Alfonso. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But this curiosity was immediately suppressed, and now that the Demon Hunter had woken up, she needed to know the movements of the people she cared about from the other person's mouth, which was the purpose of her arrival in this strange world.
Slowly approaching the demon hunter's hospital bed, Ciri's eyes kept glancing behind her, her attention still on Sophie and Alfonso, until their figures were obscured by a white drape, and she turned her attention to the demon hunter in front of her.
Ned, still pale in bed, had many of the fatal wounds gone, his tattered shirt still tossed aside, but he could still find strips of cloth that had been embedded in his skin, seemingly healing, squeezing into the wounds, causing the muscles to grow into his body.
His breathing was steady, his eyes half-squinted without energy, and he didn't seem to know why he was in this place, and what it was.
"Tell me where the hell is the woman who caught this world with you. Heary leaned down and asked, once he had this answer, then the rest of the work could begin.
......The corners of the Demon Hunter's mouth twitched for a moment, but he couldn't utter a word, and the few characters he heard scattered couldn't piece together a complete sentence.
"What did you say?" asked Ciri repeatedly, now seeing the other party's half-dead appearance, she had a bad idea, could it be that he was too injured to hold on?
As soon as this worst-case scenario appeared, she was thrown into the unknown distance, and for her, what the person in front of her said was not the only way to know the truth of the matter, but it was the easiest and most convenient way.
"Help me ......" the thin voice was finally able to say a word that Ciri could hear.
"Get me out of here, and I'll tell you. The Demon Hunter seemed to have exhausted his strength when he said this, and even the rate of his breathing slowed down at this moment, and the heaving speed of his chest became slow.
It seems that the other person's life is about to come to an end.
"Tell me, or I'll let you out of this world now. Ciri ignored the other party's request, and she wanted to use the most direct way to get him to tell the truth.
But it backfired, the other party only raised a mocking smile in the face of the threat, maybe for him now, he was only one step away from death, and he didn't care that the other party would give him a ride.
"Take me away......" he repeated.
"Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how you died, you know?" The half-closed eyes finally opened, and Ciri saw a trace of fear and helplessness in his amber cat's eyes, as if the two had experienced something that the other had experienced after the separation of the other person.
"What do you mean?" Although the inexplicable words can't be understood, but the other party said the worry in Ciri's heart, in her opinion, her current identity exists in this world that she doesn't know much, and there will always be accidents, and the most straightforward manifestation is that the words she says do not exist in this world, and communication is a difficult obstacle to jump.
"......" Ned didn't speak, he looked behind Ciri, as if to tell her what he was referring to.
Ciri looked back and saw the white cloth hanging from the ceiling, and the candlelight reflected two shadows on the white cloth, and these two shadows were Sophie and Alfonso.
"That man is the one who brought me and that woman here, do you believe him and the woman he was talking to?" Ned reminded softly, and although his voice was very weak, the vigilance in his words did not weaken.
Ned's words spoke to her heart, and it seemed to her that the general behind her had made her very mindful, not to mention the unfriendly meeting between the two, and Ciri had learned the truth of what had made her hostile to it.
"What do you want? I think it's a little difficult to get you out in this situation. Ciri directly pointed out that the other party's request was not practical, in such an environment, wanting to leave is undoubtedly wishful thinking, if she is alone, she can teleport to break through the obstacles, but bringing a person will make the difficulty increase exponentially.
"Let the red-haired woman help ......" As soon as Ciri's words fell, Ned immediately spoke his thoughts.
"......" faced with the proposal of the person in front of her, Ciri fell into silence, it seemed inappropriate to let Sophie help, although it seemed that Sophie was familiar with the other party, but she had no idea what kind of identity Sophie was in this world, and what her energy was in this world.
"I'll try. In a short split second, Ciri agreed to the plan, and she had no hope that it would succeed.
Ciri got up and slowly walked over to the two figures on the white cloth, the conversation between the two was now faintly audible.
"The Pope wants to see you......"
"I hope you and Elizabeth ......"
"And ......"
The words came in her ears in a scattered way, and Ciri, who didn't know much about the background, couldn't deduce what they were talking about, although she didn't know what the other person was talking about, but she wanted to know more about the relationship between the two, and what Sophie's identity was.
Suddenly, ......the sound of the conversation disappeared, and the figures of the two were still projected on the white cloth, but they fell into silence.
"Come out, I think you're done talking to him. Alfonso's voice passed through the white cloth and into Ciri's ears, and she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she noticed that the other party's words were not as hostile as they had been.
The white cloth that had separated the two sides was lifted by Ciri, and when the general in front of her reappeared in front of her, she found that the other party no longer looked at her with hostility, and the eyes above the black scarf still carried a faint joy, as if a problem that had plagued her heart had been solved.
"Is there something going on?" Sophie asked, puzzled, and the other party didn't take long to come out, presumably encountering some difficult problems to solve.
"I have something I want to discuss with you. Ciri whispered to Sophie, her eyes fixed on Alfonso, as if signaling that the other party could consciously avoid it.
Taking two steps back, Alfonso stretched out his hands to either side, signaling that he would not eavesdrop and that he was a harmless being, and at the same time immediately turned to the corner of the side, facing the candlelit wall and seemed to be lost in thought.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Ciri, puzzled by the man's current inscrutable behavior.
After a few minutes apart, I don't know what the hell the two of them talked about that caused him to change so much.
"It's okay, I explained the situation to him and explained that you are not a bad person. Sophie's explanation, Ciri disagrees, this statement seems to be quite nonsense, she does not believe that the other party can become friendly and kind to the person who has bitter hatred since they first met.
"Really?" Ciri didn't want to delve into what was going on, and the most important task for her now was to get rid of the other party's wish to fulfill the demon hunter.
"Can I ask you a favor?" she asked, looking at the other person, trying to notice all the expressions of the other person, to see what the other person's attitude was.
"What?" her brow furrowed slightly, as if she was surprised by the proposal of the person in front of her.
"I hope ......" Ciri's eyes glanced back at the general on the wall behind him, and saw that he didn't show any movement.
"You can help me get that patient out of this place!" said Ciri, who suddenly leaned into the other's ear, and for fear that the general who didn't know the details would hear, she leaned so close that she spoke almost close to the other's ear.
"Uh...... Can you give me a reason?" Sophie asked Ciri unclear, she didn't know what the relationship between the other party and the new patient was, did they know each other?
"Can you help me?" asked Ciri, not wanting to reveal more until she knew who the other person was.
"That's easy, but I think you can tell me what's going on!" replied Sophie without thinking, not forgetting to tell her what she wanted to know.
"Okay. ”
Just as Ciri was glad that the other party understood her in this way, she saw a soldier running towards her, the soldier's shiny bald head still glowing brightly in the pitch black environment.
The person who came was Vigo, the warrior who had only one side.
"Miss Sophie, General Alfonso, Elizabeth is here......" Breathless, he tried his best to say something that seemed terrifying, "Doctor Bethune asked me to come and ask you for help......
