Chapter 7: Good and Evil Against God
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Lance got up and hurried over, only to see Veronica with a happy expression holding three rose-like flowers in her hands, each with white petals and beautiful gray spots, like a full moon in the sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's the flowers of Nachni's Magic Grass!" Veronica happily said the names of the flowers. And Lance also remembered that Veronica seemed to say that she was going to find Nachni's magic grass to save the villagers who were infected with the plague, and she also said that she would protect Veronica and go with her.
"This is the Naherni Magic Grass you are going to use to save the villagers?"
Veronica nodded happily like a little girl who had been given a lollipop and said, "Yes, yes, and it's a windfall." I was just trying to find the leaves of Nachni's magic grass. But I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect to find the flowers of Naherni's magic grass from the leader of this undead apprentice. Now the villagers are no longer afraid of the plague, so happy!"
Lance asked suspiciously, "Is there anything peculiar about this flower? Why don't you just go and pick it during the flower season and store it in a warehouse?" ”
Veronica, who stared intently at the Naherni Magic Flower, happily explained, "Naherni's Magic Grass is not an ordinary plant, and do you know who Naherni is?"
Lance shrugged helplessly, shook his head and said, "I don't know much about these celebrities, I guess I lost my memory along with my name, who is this Nahenny?"
"Naherne is not a celebrity, she is the granddaughter of the demon god Craig I said earlier, the goddess of the night who is one of the 12 rebel gods, the goddess of the night, Naherney. Veronica carefully touched the petals as if she were touching a kitten.
"Huh?" Lance touched his chin, as if remembering the name, "Isn't this Craig the creation demon god you said created the demons? And this Naherie is his granddaughter, doesn't that mean that Naherie is an evil god? Since it's so evil, how do you feel more excited." ”
"It's not like that. Veronica shook her head and said, "Although Naherney, the goddess of the night, is the granddaughter of the creator demon god Craig, and one of the 12 rebel gods. But I think she's a good-hearted rebel. Although she is in charge of the night, she hopes that the night she is in charge will always be peaceful and peaceful, and not full of intrigue and killing, after all, many of these intrigues are carried out in the night she is in charge. As a result, Naherney has a bad relationship with her rebel brothers, especially the god of trickery and intrigue, Komprut. The two of them can be said to be enemies. Naherne often dispersed the clouds and let the bright moonlight shine on the tricks and intrigues that were going on in the night, exposing them. ”
When Lance heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I see, as soon as I hear the name 12 Rebel Gods, I feel that they are all evil gods." I didn't expect there to be good people. ”
12 There are good gods and good gods among the rebels, such as Nakhni's mother, Nijeka, the goddess of death. Of course, there are also bad gods in the 12 righteous gods, such as the sea god Ope. I just think he's very bad. Because he was often in a bad mood, or people's sacrifices were not offered on time. He caused a great storm on the sea, destroying the ships that came and went. It's hateful!"
When the words "good and hateful" were spoken, Veronica quickly covered her mouth. It seemed that he had said something wrong, but Lance didn't notice the details.
"It's all robbers. The offering of sacrifices should be voluntary by the believers, and how can they force others to make offerings. Lance sneered, but a flash of understanding flashed across his face: "Oh, is this Naherni the god you believe in?"
When Veronica heard this, her coquettish face was full of nervousness and unease, and she shook her hand in a panic and said, "No." I'm just saying that Naherney is a good rebel, not faith. That one...... Belief in Naherne is condemned by the Church as a heretical religion and cannot be believed. I am a native of Idiris, and my belief is naturally the goddess of justice and goodness, the patron saint of the Principality of Idiris, the goddess of justice and goodness. But I also believe in Veronica, the goddess of love, after all, my name is her name. And if I believe in Veronica, the goddess of love, she will surely bless me to find a prince charming worthy of my life. ”
When Lance saw Veronica say this, his face turned red and he looked shy. It's like a nun who says something forbidden, and like a little girl who waits by the river for her long-time sweetheart, who makes people feel pity.
Lance thinks about it, after all, finding a perfect love is the common dream of all human beings.
Lance then asked, "But with all that said, what does this Naherni have to do with Naherny's Magic Grass?"
Veronica suddenly remembered that she was not telling myths to the patients, so she quickly returned to the main topic and explained: "Naherni's magic grass is a plant created by Naheri, the goddess of the night. The peculiarity of this Naherni magic grass is that its flowering period is not fixed. Rather, it can bloom as long as one condition is met. That is, when Naherny, the goddess of the night, personally drove near Naheri's magic grass, this magic grass would bloom in an instant. And when Naherne isn't next to these Naherni Magic Grasses, no matter what you do, it won't bloom. ”
Lance understood, and the Nachni Magic Grass only bloomed when their owner, Naherney, was around. Lance still has one more question, though.
"But didn't you say that the leaves of the magic grass can also cure the plague, and that there is a difference between the flowers and the leaves of the Nahney magic grass?"
Veronica explains: "The difference is huge. If there were only Nahni's magic grass leaves, one of its leaves would only be able to revive three patients infected with the plague of the dead. But if it had its flowers, the medicine boiled out of one petal could save a hundred people. And it can make them produce antibodies, and they will never be infected by the undead plague again. ”
"It's amazing!"
Lance looked at the Nachni Magic Flower in Veronica's hand with a look of surprise and awe, and Veronica on the side looked like a little girl who wanted candy, staring at Lance with big eyes flashing and asking expectantly, "Lance, that ...... Can I wrap them in your silk? I fear that the linen will spoil the medicinal properties of the flowers of Nahney's Magic Grass. ”
"Of course you can, of course such a valuable item should be wrapped in silk. But after saying this, Lance suddenly thought that if his broken sword was a conscious person, he would definitely rush out and beat himself now. Obviously, silk is used to wrap the broken sword, and it was complained about.
Seeing Veronica, who was satisfied, Lance said, "So now are we?"
Veronica smiled happily but calmly and said, "Now that we've found the flowers of Nahney's Magic Grass, let's go back while it's still early." It's still too dangerous here. ”
At this point, Lance took off the cloak of an undead apprentice and draped it over Veronica's body from behind her. Veronica hurriedly said, "Lance, what are you doing here?"
Looking at Veronica, who looked panicked, Lance shrugged his shoulders, sighed lightly, and said, "Although this cloak belongs to those hateful undead apprentices, your clothes are now torn and rotten. It's okay if you're a girl and don't wear torn clothes like me. ”
That's when Veronica remembered what had happened before. She glanced at her own clothes under the cloak. Although the clothes were not in full bloom due to their desperate resistance before, they were indeed a little embarrassed.
Veronica's hands wrapped her cloak tightly, and she blushed and said shyly, "Thank you, Lance." ”
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure. ”
Afterwards, Lance put on a cloak of his own and went to the river to wash the broken sword that had saved him and Veronica. Broken swords are also very easy to clean. As soon as Lance put the broken sword into the river, the blood on the broken sword was like a dandelion blown by the breeze, and with the river easily left the previously attached broken sword, and disappeared into the clear and cool water along the river, as if the killing was covered up. At least on the broken sword, there is not a trace of it.
Just as Lance and Veronica were sorting out the loot they had seized from the undead apprentice, the iron cage covered with a gray cover suddenly "clanged". Then a little girl's immature voice with a hint of anger came from inside.
"Hey, haven't you two humans finished flirting yet? The flesh is numb!! Princess Ben has been waiting here for a long time. Didn't you two humans find me?"
When Lance and Veronica heard the voice, they hurriedly looked to the side. Only then did Lance think: yes, it seems that the leader of the undead apprentice was carrying an iron cage covered with a gray cover. Later, when I went to rummage through Lance and Veronica's things, I put them aside. I almost forgot it existed.
But what's going on with the little girl in this cage?!, and Lance thinks the cage's voice sounds familiar.
Veronica was so frightened that she hurriedly ran to Lance's side, staring at the shaky iron cage covered with a gray cover with wary and curious eyes, and said, "Lance, did the voice just come from that cage?"
As soon as Lance wanted to answer, he listened to the contents of the cage and replied first: "Nonsense! Of course it is, there is only one girl left here besides you as a human girl." Who else could it be if it wasn't my voice? What a question! Are you human girls so stupid? You two humans haven't opened my cage yet, I'm suffocating to death in the cage! I'm a waste human, but it's better than the undead apprentice as my guardian. Time is precious, a million gold crowns a second, time is money. ”
The stern voice of the girl in the cage made Veronica feel very uncomfortable, her face was full of embarrassment and grievances, and she was scolded inexplicably when she just wanted to ask.
And when Lance heard that this guy dared to murder Veronica, he was immediately very unhappy: "I'll go, locked in a cage, and my temper is quite big." Who kind of demon are you? How dare you call yourself a princess?
"I was originally a princess! Huhu, you human beings are not annoying! You can't just pick up the cover and look at it yourself? This princess is really unlucky, how can she be such a guardian as you. ”
When Lance heard it, this awesome attitude was probably not a good thing. And the most hateful thing is the tone of her speech. It makes people feel the urge to hit someone: "We won't be fooled by you! You must be a fellow accomplice of the undead apprentice, and when I lift the cloth cover, you will take the opportunity to attack me." Veronica, or we'll throw this undead into the river and drown. ”
As soon as Lance said this, the little girl in the cage was directly anxious: "Hey, you hateful human, you dare! This princess is of noble blood, you dare to associate me with the evil undead!"
"Why don't I dare? just at your stinky temper, I don't believe I can't cure you!" said Lance, who was a little angry, and walked to the front of the cage and lifted the cage. Grunting angrily, he walked towards the river.
The cage creaked, swaying left and right in front of the creature inside, and the voice suddenly became more fierce: "You, you, you!" This princess is kind and allows you to take advantage of this princess. You're kind enough to think of it as a donkey's liver and lungs! And drown me! You can drown it!"
"Try it, try it! You're so uneducated, see if I don't clean you up!" Lance was furious, and popped the bottom of the cage into the water.
Suddenly, the girl's panicked voice came from inside: "How dare you! You hateful human, pull me up! Pull me up! I hate you! Pull me up!"
Listening to the sound of the girl screaming in panic from the cage, Veronica on the side also softened, and quickly ran over and grabbed Lance's arm and said, "Lance, pull her up." She's a little rude to speak, but she's probably not a bad person. Otherwise, you won't be locked up in a cage by the Undead Apprentice. ”
When the little girl in the cage heard this, she also cried and said: "Yes! You are going to kill me indiscriminately! I am still guiding you to get a broken sword to save myself and your female companion for the sake of you! I am really blind, how can I identify you! I knew that it was not a bad thing to sign a contract with this undead apprentice!"
When Lance heard this, he was stunned and said, "You mean, it wasn't the broken sword that guided me to take the broken sword before, but you guided me?"
The little girl cried and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense......? Although your sword is a good sword, it is broken, and it is impossible to give birth to a sword spirit or something! You big villain who will take revenge! I hate you!"
Only then did Lance understand. Indeed, at that time, the only person who could guide her to pick up the broken sword behind her back was her, who had been watching from the sidelines.
"Okay! I apologize to you! Thank you for saving your life. But ......" Lance pulled his "savior" up and said, "But you shouldn't murder Veronica either, and you must apologize to Veronica." ”
"I don't apologize! That's how Princess Ben spoke! You leave me alone! You have to apologize!" The girl in the cage relented when she heard that Lance relented, and her tone became stubborn again.
"Do you apologize?" the anger in Lance's heart rose again.
"No, no, no, no!" Then I heard the voice of the little girl inside sticking out her tongue.
Veronicara, who was furious, persuaded Lance, "Forget it, she has been kind to us and saved us after all." I don't care, open the cage and let her go. ”
But Lance doesn't think so: "Save people to save people, scold people to scold people." These are two different things. Just because she saved us doesn't mean we can't condone her abusiveness. I'm also doing this for her future!"
With that, Lance stuffed the cage back into the water. Suddenly the girl in the cage screamed, "You human, I hate you to death, why am I so unlucky! I want to talk to you about my virginity...... Whining...... I hate you! I hate you! I'm afraid of water! Please pull me out!"
Lance sneered and said, "If you hate it, you hate it, and it's nothing to hate me." Anyway, I'm poor and white now, and I'm not afraid to wear shoes with bare feet. Again, you just have to apologize to Veronica and I'll pull you up. ”
The girl in the cage finally relented, crying and saying, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Sister Veronica, I shouldn't have killed you, I was wrong." Is this okay?"
Veronica also hurriedly grabbed Lance's arm and said, "Lance, pull her up quickly." ”
Lance snorted, then pulled up the cage, put it on the ground and said, "That's right, no matter what kind of creature you are, as long as you have wisdom, you must learn to be educated." ”
So Lance set the cage aside and said, "Then I'll remove the cloth cover." ”
With that, Lance took off the gray cloth covering the cage, and when he saw the little girl in the cage, both Lance and Veronica opened their mouths in surprise.
