Chapter 154: The Sun Also Rises
readx;? The midday sun shone brightly from the sky, and the leader of the team, Ramijes, stood on the balcony on the second floor of the tavern, looking out at the view from the upper floors. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Even though the sun was shining today and the scenery of the town was good enough, there was still no way to give him a sense of security.
Once again, he missed the days when Antonis was still there, in those days when he was able to irresponsibly slack around, where it was like now. People say that the sky is falling and it is blocked by tall people, and they don't know who can stand on top if something happens to them.
It was astonishing to hear from Lopez and Catherine that the Cult of Darkness was hunting humans in the city! and that every human was a corpse that had been eviscerated and taken away, so there was no need for such trouble if it was just for fun.
Obviously, the rats had some earth-shattering conspiracy, but he didn't know it.
This made him more and more uneasy. Although Lopez, the most powerful of the sixth sense, has not yet spoken, now this situation has prompted him to quickly lead the team away.
The rat lurking in the darkness is small, but still has fangs and can pounce on his family at any moment.
He couldn't sit still and wait any longer.
Ramijes approached Jenny and told her that she wanted to leave.
"Thank you, Jenny, for your hospitality all this time, but I think we've been here long enough. ”
"Do you mean you want to leave?" Jenny put down what she was holding and looked up at Ramijes.
The handsome young man in front of her has always been a steady representative in her eyes, his words and deeds reveal a mature atmosphere, and he is undoubtedly the leader of their group.
She thought this man was a brave warrior, but he chose to leave at this time......
"Is it because of the rats in the dark?" Jenny stared into his eyes as if to say, "Don't lie." ”
Ramijes, who is not Lopez, said bluntly: "Yes, the rats in the dark have given me more and more uneasiness, and I feel that we should leave them and they may pose a threat to us at any time." ”
Jenny sneered, "I thought you were a brave knight, but that's just the case." ”
"I'm sorry!" Ramijes bowed apologetically, it was indeed not a knightly rule to abandon a friend and leave alone at such a time, but ...... "I won't allow me to lose another family member!"
Jenny didn't answer, just looked at Ramijes silently for a while, and finally said, "Since your will is so strong, I have no reason to forcibly stop you...... Go ahead and take my daughter with you. ”
"Are you sure?" asked Ramijes, surprised.
Jenny nodded: "Of course, I can't protect everyone by myself. I think it's a good idea to have Phyllis follow you. ”
This time it was Ramizes' turn to stare at Jenny.
From the first time he met her, Ramijes knew she wasn't easy. With her sturdy stature, she couldn't just be a simple subhuman, as her daughter Phyllis could tell.
According to her, Phyllis was indeed her biological daughter, and her father had died five years earlier.
The fact that such a subhuman race was able to gain a foothold in a chaotic border town, and also established such a huge prestige, must have something to do with her own strength.
Although Ramijes has no way to confirm the strength of the other party, he believes that Jenny is not weaker than him.
This is also the reason why Jenny is not surprised at all by their Paladin's identity.
Ramijes was going to tell everyone about his departure at dinner today, but before that, Lopez came to the door instead.
I saw Lopez knocking on the door in a hurry, with an anxious look on his face. Ramijes pressed his shoulder: "Calm down and talk well." What the hell is going on?"
He took a breath and said, "Senior Ramijes, my instincts have reacted. ”
A smile tugged at the corner of Ramijes' mouth. It seems that my judgment is not wrong, and that is good!, Ramijes thought to himself.
The danger came with Lopez's intuition finally being strongly confirmed. In order for this mission to be successfully completed, they must avoid this crisis, these rats are nothing more than cheap cannon fodder, and the mastermind behind the scenes must still be hiding behind them.
But if there is a lot of cannon fodder, it can also drown the boss.
"We'll have to leave tomorrow!" Lamijes decided.
"And what about them?" Anne said, gesturing to the working subhumans.
After a moment of silence, Ramijes replied, "Their words, Jenny said she would protect them." It's just that Phyllis will come with us. ”
"Huh?" Phyllis, who was in Apple's arms, looked up cutely, "Did you mention me just now?"
Lopez touched her head dotingly, and said gently: "Phyllis, go find your mother later, she has something to tell you." ”
Phyllis held her head high and thought for a moment before nodding and replying, "Hmm!"
It's strange that she didn't shoot Lopez's groping hand this time.
Night soon fell, and the people had their last sumptuous supper. Although they are not as delicious as they are back home, there are all kinds of friends here who are more happy than ever.
At night, Phyllis's crying could be heard from Jenny's room. God, the old employees who have worked here for more than ten years have never heard her cry so loudly, and for so long.
It wasn't until late at night that Phyllis's cries gradually calmed down.
"Brother, is this really good?" asked Catherine, wiping the badge that Lopez had thrown her.
Lopez asked rhetorically, "What's good?"
"Is it really okay to leave them like that?" Catherine turned her head, deliberately not looking at Lopez. "Didn't you always say that your dream was to be a paladin, and why didn't you stick to the rules of knighthood today?"
"It's all ......"
Lopez tried to quibble, and Catherine then read out the following passage: "In the face of a strong enemy, fearless, courageous and loyal, worthy of the Holy Light, loyal and upright, willing to die rather than yielding, protecting the weak, it is not against the principles of heaven!"
Lopez closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "The strong enemy is current...... Not afraid ......"
Catherine nodded, "Have you forgotten all this?"
"Of course not!" Lopez suddenly became excited, "these things will be deeply engraved in my soul even if I die!"
"But it was the most appropriate and correct decision. ”
Lopez put his head in his hands and buried his head in his stomach, and he said with a crying voice: "That's right. It was the right decision!"
"You're not wrong. Catherine stood up and reached out to hug Lopez's head, "This can only be blamed on the world......"
There were many others who struggled as painfully as Lopez that night......
Little Apple and Anne snuggled up to each other, Phyllis had fallen asleep in Jenny's big arms, and Ramijeth stood quietly at the head of the bed, unable to sleep all night!
But eventually, the sun rose in the east, and the next day, it came...... (To be continued.) )
