Volume 2 Xuancai Mountain Range 130: Demon Beasts in the Rebellious Period
"Mr. Shirahashi has issued a new order."
Gasd Gerz, known as "Gai", heard a man in a black and white clergyman's robe with a delicate cross-shaped pin at the neckline.
However, the coercion and spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the other party's body made it impossible for him to see the other party's appearance clearly, and it was extremely difficult to even take a step forward, as if he was holding a mountain on top of it.
But these circumstances were only trivial matters to him.
Not because of how great he was, but because he was a devout believer in the Holy Cross, and to be able to meet the only bishop under the seat of faith and listen to his heavenly voice was enough to make Guy forget all the hardships and dangers, and think that it was worth sacrificing everything.
And even listening to the bishop's instructions from others to him was definitely the most glorious thing he felt since he realized that "only the Holy Cross can save the world".
Gai, who was already so excited that he couldn't even walk, secretly cheered himself up and staggered to the messenger.
Then, he fell to the ground in one fell swoop - fortunately, not completely.
Before his knees touched the ground, he stiffened his body sharply with the strength of his well-trained core, and then raised his eyes to meet the slightly stunned gaze of the messenger, and a flattering smile suddenly piled up on his face.
Before the messenger could react, he bent his back slightly, returning to the position he had before he almost fell.
He's not a stupid guy who's going to make a mistake at the last minute and lose everything because of some unnecessary mistakes.
The messenger in the black and white uniform withdrew his surprised gaze, coughed lightly, and withdrew the spiritual power released from his body.
At this moment, Gai was finally able to stand up straight, and he didn't have to embarrass his waist and spine.
"Excuse me, can I speak?" He cautiously raised his hand and observed the emissary's expression, "What does Mr. Hakuhashi want me to do?" ”
"Head to the 'Valley of Summoning Peace' in the Xuancai Mountains, where there is a war shelter established by the Holy Cross, and at the same time, it is also a camp for soldiers to rest and make preparations."
The messenger gave a very clear explanation.
"Recently, I received a tip-off that it was attacked by unknown forces, since it is located in the Xuancai Mountains, the culprit is likely to be a demon beast, but it is also possible that the two sides of the war are not used to the existence of the shelter."
"............" Gai pursed his lips and did not say a word for a while.
"Do you understand your mission?" Seeing his appearance, the messenger had a thought in his heart, "If you understand, let's go." ”
"What does Mr. Shirabashi want me to do?"
"It's simple, extermination." The messenger turned his back from the believer who had only been ordained once, even though he had excelled in miraculous performances.
"Observe first, and then, clear out everything you feel needs to be cleared, whether it's a monster or a human soldier...... Or adventurers and civilians. ”
"The Holy Cross does not do anything wrong, and there is no need to question Mr. Whitebridge's instructions." The man in the priest's robe walked in a direction away from where the cover was, the heels of his boots stepping on the smooth deteriorated rock tiles, making a crisp "click" and "click" sound, "Do what you can, and don't let down Mr. Hakuhashi's trust in you." ”
After leaving the hall where the messengers were to be met, Gai stood in the square outside the Church of the Holy Cross, chose a flower bed to sit on, and gasped involuntarily.
"Summoning the Valley of Peace?"
The man raised his arm and swept his gaze over the area below his wrist until the spiritual power operating under the skin on his body was on the verge of going berserk due to the pressure.
The veins on his forearms bulged, and every now and then white, but slightly blood-colored feathers emerged from the exposed veins, into the air, and then slowly fell to the ground.
Within a few moments, the man's feet were full of feathers.
It was as if a flock of birds had just wandered around him, each losing a handful of feathers before leaving.
"Whew, Whew......"
Gai gasped lightly, and when he realized that his strange appearance had attracted the attention of the people around him, and if he didn't relent, he was afraid that someone with good deeds would rush into the church to denounce him, he hurriedly stood up and hurried towards the townhouse not far away.
He went straight to the shadows beneath the house, chanting the spell he needed to perform the miracle in his mind as he went, so that the teleportation array could take shape the moment he reached his destination.
……
Gester Geez is a pigeon.
To be exact, a monster from the pigeon family, it has the ability to transform into a human, and this camouflage skill is quite good.
He was not used to the style of his parents at home, so he resolutely ran away from home, believing that the current first darling of nature, that is, human beings, was a more suitable identity for him...... No, he was supposed to be a human, but he was kidnapped from his biological parents by his current parents, so he became a bird.
This kind of absurd idea is actually very common among young orcs, and it is really a manifestation of the "rebellious period" that has been difficult to attract the attention of the elders.
This is due to the fact that in recent decades, the education of the orcs has mentioned other races too many times.
However, this situation is harmless in the hearts of adult beasts, and they may be able to leave a black history or lesson for their children, so they are not in a hurry to correct it, and with a casual mentality, they wait for these stupid children to wake up on their own.
However, it is clear that Gai did not realize that "it is impossible for orcs and humans to convert into each other", as the elders had hoped, and instead joined the human supremacist organization "Holy Cross" in order to avenge his parents, who were mistaken for "kidnappers".
Unexpectedly, after having just established his faith and deciding to follow the "Holy Cross" with all his heart, he received a mission.
Then he was driven back to his hometown.
"Goo."
"Haha, your experience is a little funny."
Fang Nuo carried the pigeon tied with silver-blue string on his back, lifted the fluffy square hat, and walked briskly on the road to the "Calling Peace Valley".
"This name was given by humans, right?" He ignored the protests of the pigeons behind him and said to himself, "If it is a demon beast, it must be directly named 'Pigeon Valley' and 'White Pigeon Valley', just like 'Huangxian Ridge'." ”
"Goo!"
"I don't know why." A very shallow smile barely appeared on Fang Nuo's face that was a little paralyzed in his humanoid state, "When I met you, it reminded me of the time when I met Emerald. ”
"It's completely different from knowing the funeral birds...... To be honest, in retrospect, were they a little too unconditionally helping me? ”
"Goo!"
"It's not that it's bad...... Ah, am I guilty of the same mistake as the witch? ”
Walking on the road can also talk to yourself?
He was full of excitement, and used a bitter expression to hide the panic in his heart.
"Goo......
"I don't want to be like that woman." Fonno untied the pigeon, held it in the palm of his hand, and held it high into the sky.
"You're going to talk to me, right?"
"I don't need your reply either, huh." He looked earnestly into the pigeon's red eyes, "I saw your memories just now, and I knew your past. ”
"You can't speak in the form of a monster, and even if you can express your voice, you can't make other creatures understand your thoughts, which is your innate flaw."
Fang Nuo narrowed his eyes and forcefully raised the corners of his mouth upward, squeezing out a seemingly treacherous smile.
"But that's not the case when you become human." He clenched his fist with his free hand, stretched out his index finger, and pointed it on the tip of his eyebrow, "I saw the first time you expressed a complete, meaningful sentence in your own voice, with great joy. ”
Although the white dove's eyes still gave him a feeling of numbness, just like when Fang Nuo had noticed that he was about to cry before, this time, Fang Nuo also saw the horror in it.
"It's a miracle." He quipped in a cold voice.
"We've all been terrified of the status quo." Funaux waved his hand to drop the pigeon off his palm, "I'm not looking for common ground for us...... You're too heavy, can you fly down and become your favorite one? ”
The pigeon looked him in the eye and saw that he was saying these words seriously.
He said these words with a blank face and in a voice that did not rise or fall in an inconspicuous tone.
Fang Nuo does not take his true thoughts on the surface.
He won't admit to the pigeon: You are the first demon beast I met after my 'betrayal', which is quite interesting and relieves the sadness in my soul.
"I'd love to have a good relationship with you—as a former Yellow Immortal." He couldn't say anything like that.
Therefore, while penetrating the bottom of the other party that he spied on, he can pretend to inadvertently throw out some of his own experiences and observations, which can be regarded as an "equivalent exchange".
He also returned the spiritual power he had taken from the other party in order to read his memory, otherwise, the other party would not even have the ability to turn into a human form in a short period of time.
"Why do you ......," the pigeon obediently flew to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, his figure suddenly elongated and became erect, "can you know my past?" ”
"Isn't there anything else to the questions you just asked yourself?"
As a believer worthy of the instructions of the Holy Cross, the reasoning was so swift and correct that Fang Nuo, who had taken psychological comfort from him, almost applauded.
But to be honest, he himself knew that he was completely to blame for escaping from Huangxian Ridge.
Who told him that when he first returned to his hometown, his transformation ability was out of control, and he couldn't change back to his original state, and after leaving the secret realm, his mentality changed again, and he was impulsive every time he made various decisions?
"And," just as Fang Nuo was immersed in what he had done before, with a moment of excitement, a moment of annoyance, and a moment of praise for them, the pigeon "Gai" raised another of his bewilderments, "Are you, a divine beast?" ”
"Huh?" The out-of-tune voice was subconsciously squeezed out of Fang Nuo's throat.
"Nope." He subconsciously wanted to deny, "Why do you think I am?" ”
Answering questions with questions is really an excellent way to deal with the questions of others.
The beastmaster in the past was an "evil beast".
Fang Nuo remembered that some people called the evil beast a disqualified divine beast, so he should have been a divine beast for a while, right?
But it no longer mattered, for He had given up his existence and had become Fangnuo.
There should have been some more things that have happened in the intervening decade, but the final result is certain, and it is an unquestionable fact that nature has acknowledged.
There was no need for other evidence to corroborate it, and the spiritual power that permeated the atmosphere and witnessed the living beings of all things recognized Fang Nuo's conjecture and raised his true identity to a height that was unimaginable before.
