Chapter 39: The Vessel of the Heroic Soul (10th Watch)
When everyone watched Medusa enter the battlefield, Liu Yuan suddenly realized that Matthew was not paying attention there.
She seemed to be interested in the sky, and she raised her head and stared blankly at the blue sky, or perhaps the clouds. But there's nothing strange there, and even the big hole in the sky can only be glimpsed at that angle.
"What are you looking at, you're so fascinated." Curious, Liu Yuan asked Matthew directly.
This sound seemed to wake up Matthew, and she looked back at Liu Yuan and smiled embarrassedly.
"I....... I grew up in the Chaldees. Accustomed to the sterile environment of Chaldees, he would get sick as soon as he went outside, and as a result, he never left Chaldea until now........ And the weather outside Chaldea is also heavy snow all year round, and you can't see the sky at all, so ......."
This answer seemed to be a bit incorrect, but Liu Yuan understood what she meant.
I'm afraid this is the first time a girl has seen a clear blue sky.
Looking at Matthew, who was facing him with a little twisted gaze, Liu Yuan suddenly felt a little abrupt, and he recalled Matthew's life experience.
Matthew is not an ordinary human being, she is a test-tube baby made by the former director through genetic engineering and other means as an experiment of 'fusing heroic spirits', in other words, 'artificial human'.
Roman had judged that Matthew's lifespan lasted at most eighteen years, that is, two years later. As an artificial human, her cells age faster than normal people, and even if she successfully fuses the spirit base of the Heroic Spirit, it does not inhibit the aging of her cells.
Roman has been regretting that he didn't notice Matthew's condition sooner.
Two years....... The girl only has two years left to live, and she may know this.
But she didn't give up on herself, nor did she choose to enjoy herself in the last time, but followed Liu Yuan without hesitation and embarked on the road of saving people. Perhaps this is what she thinks is the best way to prove her worth and leave footprints in her short life.
But since Liu Yuan is here, he is not prepared to let Matthew die of old age like this.
In the original plot, Matthew's body was restored to the normal human lifespan in exchange for the rationality of Fufu, commonly known as the 'Fourth Beast', a primate killer.
But Liu Yuan felt that the price was too great, even if he didn't turn to his own heroic spirit, there were more and better ways.
This time, he definitely wants to see a Chaldea where no one is hurt and no one is absent!
"Are you satisfied with this blue sky, Matthew?" Liu Yuan finally asked.
"Of course not." Matthew raised his head again and looked at the blue sky, revealing a smile that made Liu Yuan feel dazzling, "I still want to see more of the sky with everyone." ”
.................
.................
On the battlefield, the battle continues.
I saw that Medusa was not afraid of facing the wyvern who was several times larger than her, and reached out with her thumb to lift the corner of the blindfold, revealing a gray strange eye with thick pupils, and the edge of the pupil suddenly lit up with a bright red shimmer.
There was some kind of 'fluctuation' that emanated from that demonic single eye.
In just an instant, the black wyvern that was rushing towards her in front of Medusa stopped all movements, starting from its feet, quickly losing its color, and making a terrifying "click" sound all over its body.
"Roar.......!!"
The Wyvern's head was raised high, but in the end, it was unable to resist the mighty force, and in an instant, it turned into a lifelike tall statue, completely lifeless.
"This ...... This........!? The soldier took two steps back in a panic, looking in disbelief at the wyvern that had already caused him to lose more than a dozen of his companions, only to be petrified into a threatening statue by a woman with a strange spell in an instant........ He even began to wonder if he was dreaming.
But Medusa didn't care about his mental state, she kept the magic eye open, and once again moved her gaze to 'look' at the other two wyverns, and the two wyverns who were still fighting with the soldiers immediately followed the end of the black wyvern, and the statue that quickly turned into gray stagnated in place, still roaring at the end of its life.
The soldiers who were fighting the wyvern watched this scene in amazement, and some even sat down on the ground in fright, shouting in panic.
Seeing that his colleagues were even more flustered than himself, the soldier felt a little more inexplicably happy, and just as he was about to say hello to the miraculous woman, he found that there was no longer her in place, as if the scene that had just happened was his hallucination.
But soon, the soldiers saw their savior again. She was in a strange procession, following a man and two women (who had mistaken Enki for a woman) and slowly walked this way.
"Hello." Standing at the front of the line, a black-haired man dressed in clean white and looking like a noble young master smiled at him and said, "Can you borrow a little time?" We have some questions for you. ”
"Ah....... Okay, of course. The soldier replied stunned.
But just as Liu Yuan was about to speak, several dragon roars suddenly interrupted his words.
Hearing the familiar roar of the beast, everyone subconsciously looked at the source of the sound, only to see at least twenty house-sized flying dragons flying into the sky in the distance. It seemed that the blood of the same kind here had stirred up their bloodiness, and the wyverns galloped towards this direction in droves.
The apocalyptic sight made the soldiers look nervous and desperate.
Just three wyverns had already killed and injured an entire fortress of them. Now more than twenty of them came at a time, and if they didn't immediately throw down their weapons and run away, they were already considered mentally hardened.
But on the other hand, Liu Yuan, a group of weirdos, saw this scene, but they didn't even blink their eyes, and their expressions remained unchanged at all, as if they didn't look at those flying dragons at all, which made the soldiers standing in front of Liu Yuan see hope.
"Please, please help us! Just help us deal with those wyverns, and I'll tell you anything you want to know! The soldier pleaded with Liu Yuan in a low voice.
"Okay, let's say okay." Seeing that the soldier was so good at talking, Liu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his head to look at Enqidu and Medusa, "Can I ask you?" ”
"If it's your will."
"Yes, Master."
Enkidu and Medusa bowed their heads, and their figures blurred for a while, disappearing directly in place.
The soldier was stunned to see the two beauties turning into afterimages, rushing towards the dragon group at an indistinct speed, and couldn't help but worry: "Is it really okay to be the only two of them?" ”
"Don't worry, nothing will happen, and ......." Liu Yuan looked curiously at a blonde figure waving a battle flag that suddenly rushed into the battle group halfway when Enqidu and Medusa were fighting with the Wyvern, "There seems to be an extra reinforcement over there." ”
"Is that ......." The team leader frowned, looking at the woman who was wielding a flag gun to fight the flying dragon, and a sense of familiarity rose in his heart out of nowhere.
But soon, his thinking was interrupted by Liu Yuan.
"Well, while they're still busy, let's solve our problem first."
"Ahh Yes sir. As long as I know, I know everything......."
