Chapter Seventy-Two: Is It a Dream? No
Xu Shuo carefully put away the earth elemental photon, then glanced in the direction of the door, and after confirming that the door was open, he walked towards Lilian, who was lying in the corner.
Lilian was still asleep, Xu Shuo called her name softly twice, but she couldn't wake up, so Xu Shuo sat down against the wall, flattened his legs, and then let Lilian continue to sleep on his calves.
Xu Shuo didn't worry too much, according to Angela, Lilian was just running out of energy, so let her rest for a while, it just so happened that Xu Shuo himself was tired, and his magic power also needed to be replenished.
Xu Shuo leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and was about to squint for a while, when Angela's voice rang out again.
"I just received the news that they have already selected the other five." Angela said.
(Five?) Oh, you said the other five unlucky ones were coming, so soon? )
"Yes, I feel like my bosses have been secretly looking for good targets behind my back." Angela actually didn't deny the part of the unlucky guy.
(Then, will those five come to Chewa City to join me?) )
"No, it seems that he will be summoned by the Grace Sect as a brave man, and then directly trained by the Pope and the Loda Empire." Angela said.
Xu Shuo opened his eyes.
(Wait, what does that mean?) )
"Ah, let me explain to you, the Cult of Grace is the largest religion in this world, and it is one of the connections between our gods and the people of the Nether, and then the Loda Empire is the most powerful empire of all the countries dominated by the human race."
(No, I mean...... Why can they be summoned as heroes? I was sent here with nothing, and in such a poor, unsafe place...... Am I a special case?! )
Angela denied: "No, they are a special case, generally speaking, they will not send people in the form of summoning from the lower realm, so it is easy to be detected by the demon realm, but this time it is a special case, so it is a little different." ”
(What about me?) What kind of religion and what kind of empire you are talking about, will you send someone to take me there? )
"Hmm...... It's hard to say, probably not. Angela said.
(Why?) )
"What else? As I said before, they originally planned to choose another person, but I disrupted the plan. Now those people must be desperate to find a reason to eliminate you, and maybe they are staring at you right now. ”
As soon as Angela said this, Xu Shuo always felt that there were a few more pairs of eyes around him, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
(Don't you think it's too unfair, the same authorities, the other five guys can get a golden spoon in their mouths as soon as they come, and I ...... This is what it looks like. )
Xu Shuo looked down at himself, his clothes were dirty and torn, and he was covered with dust after a fight with the earth and stone man, he touched his chest with his hand, and was punched by the Rakshasa to dent the position, although it was cured, but every time I think of what happened at that time, I always feel a faint pain, and the feeling of dying is probably unforgettable for a lifetime.
Angela heard the sound of the cans being opened, and after a few sips, she muttered in a low voice: "This is workplace violence, workplace violence, they look down on me, and they look down on the people I choose...... Really, when I first joined the company, I just thought that the iron rice bowl was good, but I didn't expect to wear small shoes all day long. ”
(It's so uncomfortable, why don't you quit?) )
"You think it's okay to quit, sign a labor contract for 500 years, and, to be honest, I don't know what else I can do besides this job, and I don't want to ask my family for money......"
(Do you gods have families, too?) )
"What's the matter, of course, who said that the gods don't have families, according to the mythology of the world before you, Zeus still has brothers and sisters! I also have my parents and a lot of brothers and sisters, and I am also a little princess at home, and my mother will probably die of distress if she knows what kind of life I am living now. Angela said, gurgling a few more gulps.
(Oh...... )
Xu Shuo looked up at the high ceiling of the main room on the floor, and suddenly felt a little guilty. The word god seems to be high-minded, but after contact, I found that she was just an ordinary girl, who was not loved by her boss in the workplace, and was verbally attacked by others at work.
(I'm sorry, I've been mean to you.) )
"Apologizing at this time, is it sympathy for me?" Angela chuckled: "It's okay, I have to let you scold a few words, after all, I pit you to this place, but I hope that when you scold in the future, it will be good not to be too sharp." ”
Xu Shuo patted his hair and slapped off some of the ash that had fallen on it.
(After all, why did you choose me?) There should be someone more suitable than me, like James Bond in the 007 movie, cool and capable people, although there are not many in reality, but there should be one or two, isn't it better to choose someone like that than to choose me? )
"Comrade Xu Shuo, you underestimate yourself too much, I don't think you realize what kind of monster you are, right? But I do know it, after all, I've been observing you since more than ten years ago, and you're definitely the best choice to defeat the Demon King! ”
(Why?) )
"Let's save this for later, it's embarrassing to say it now, you better care about the eldest lady next to you first, she's going to wake up."
Hearing this, Xu Shuo looked at Lilian lying on his lap, whose eyelashes fluttered slightly, and slowly opened his eyes.
"Are you awake? How does it feel? Xu Shuo asked.
After Lilian opened her eyes, she was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly sat up suddenly, looking around like a frightened deer, until she saw Xu Shuo, she calmed down a little, but before Xu Shuo could say something, tears quickly slipped from the corners of her eyes.
"Mr. Xu Shuo, Mr. Xu Shuo, I ...... I had a very real dream. Lilian's breathing was a little short, she grabbed Xu Shuo's trouser leg tightly like a life-saving straw, lowered her head, and said in a crying voice: "I dreamed that I went to a city, where the city gate is very high, the city gate is open, and there are people behind the door, everyone is armed with guns and swords, and they are attacking me while shouting something!" ”
Xu Shuo was stunned for a moment, remembering what Angela said about the memory of blood, so the dream that Lilian said was probably the memory of one of her ancestors.
"It's okay, don't cry." Xu Shuo patted Lilian's back and comforted softly: "It's scary to be pointed at with a weapon, but it's just a nightmare, don't take it to heart." ”
"No, Mr. Xu Shuo, no, I'm not afraid, they invited me to go." Liliam kept wiping away tears.
"Inviting you?"
"They said we were friends, and I just went, and I trusted them so much, but they ......," Lilian said, and finally she couldn't stop crying.
Xu Shuo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, he roughly guessed what was happening.
Lilian buried her head in Xu Shuo's arms, her body trembling.
Xu Shuo gently stroked Lilian's head and said softly, "It's okay, it's just a dream." ”
Is it a dream? No.
It's betrayal, one of the tricks that humans do best.
That's probably the story of wishful thinking dragons and greedy humans.
With such a story, I don't know how many times Lilian will "dream" in the future, and Xu Shuo is helpless about this.
