Section 29. Be a hero
Annan looked at the heartwarming image of the charred silhouette and the three skeletons snuggling together.
To outsiders, it may seem blasphemous and cruel...... But the teenage girl just wants to be with her family.
"Are their souls still there?" Annan asked softly.
"It's just the instincts that wake up in the body."
"Can't we get their souls back?"
"The gods of death are all lost, and no one can bring their souls back from the abyss." Skeletron looked down at Annan, "You want it to protect you?" ”
"Didn't you say that weird won't take the initiative to fight weird? I want her to protect me to Persona. ”
"Look, that's what sets you apart from everyone else."
"You've praised me too many times." Annan said modestly, looking at the charred girl who was looking up at this side: "It's our turn to appear." ”
"Mr. Leonefa has permanently fixed the resuscitation spell for your family, and they can move for a few hours a day."
Until the last instinct is gone, Annan said in his heart.
The charred girl's dark eyes stared at him, and suddenly returned to the wooden house, and in a few moments, it dragged the tortured young nobleman into human form and threw it in front of Annan.
"For me?" Annan asked, saying that it was useless for him to take the young nobleman, and asked Skeletron, "Give him to you?" ”
"I'm still ...... Useful......" the young nobleman murmured weakly.
"Well, who are you?"
"Marco ......"
"Have you done good deeds in your life?"
“……”
Annan looked at Skeletron again: "You can use him as a taxidermy." ”
An undead, a monstrous, a human, and no one sympathizes with him. Skeletron directly put the young nobleman into a magic ring that could not hold the goods.
"One more thing...... I want to go on a trip to Persona, can you escort me? Annan asked tentatively.
The charred silhouette responds by retreating into a dark wooded cabin. Annan thought she had failed, but found that she had not closed the door.
"Are you inviting me in?"
Annan greeted the invitation suspiciously and walked into the wooden house.
The old wooden house has no color, and the bright woodland outside the window is like two worlds.
Darkness suddenly descended on the already dark hut, and Annan turned back to see Skeletron coming in with his head bowed to block the light from the doorway.
However, the soul fire burning in Skeletron's eye sockets made the cabin visible.
There was only one wooden table in the room, on which was a charred blanket.
"She's gone?"
"That's it." Skeletron's knuckles, which are full of gemstone rings, point to the table. "A lot of weird shapes are just projections of them, not their bodies."
Annan suddenly said: "Shall I pick it up directly?" ”
"Well, with its body, it will always be there for you."
Annan picked up the blanket and resisted the urge to pick off the scorch that had been attached to the fur: "Thank you...... After this protection, I will let you live in my territory, give you a house, and let your family live in it. ”
They came out of the hut and stood in the sun again.
Skeletron first put away the three skeletons standing nearby: three piles of bones, and put them in the magic bag.
Afraid that the scorched girl would not be able to accept it, Annan covered the blanket with her hands as if covering her eyes.
After collecting the charred girl's family, they continued their journey and arrived at the cemetery in a fiery red twilight.
Skeletron was looking south, and Annan took the initiative to walk towards the cemetery: "The Strange Ground is a mile closer?" ”
"More."
It seems that the rate of spread in the Hearsay Zone is increasing.
Entering the cemetery, Annan put the charred blanket aside, and then took the initiative to sit next to the extinguished fire, looking at Skeletron who lit up the magic lamp: "I'm hungry." ”
This kind of behavior that causes Skeletron's men to scream and blaspheme is actually quite popular with Skeletron - after all, he is a skeleton that is not completely dead, and he misses life as a human......
"Make three servings!" Annan's additional voice was heard.
Half an hour later, when three identical portions of food were ready, Annan set aside the burnt blanket and tentatively placed a piece of bread on it.
The charred blanket wriggled like fluff, and the food gradually sank in.
Annan glanced at the soup, gave up on sprinkling it on it, and fed it as he ate while listening to Skeletron's story.
Before entering, Annan wanted to know what was going on in Persona, and it just so happened that Skeletron knew this part of the secret.
Persona, an ancient city, was built by the Craftsman God himself - because it was built on the rift in this world.
The World Rift is like a natural portal, but it is a portal that is so far away that it ignores the plane. Visitors from other worlds will either take the initiative or accidentally fall to the continent of Allen.
Their arrival brings chaos, after all, not all visitors are friendly, not all worlds are in order.
After another "otherworldly visitor crisis", the gods decided to take control of the place: the god of craftsmen builds, the god of guardians reinforces, the goddess of the lake, and the gods bless......
Based on the above, Persona is the place where the gods have the most presence, and you can see all the churches of orderly, neutral gods here, except for chaos - because you never know what's going on in the heads of the guys in the chaos camp.
It's like the demons in the north who have just been rescued by the nezumi and start fighting the nezumi.
After the establishment of Persona, visitors to the other world were controlled, and the place remained stable for hundreds of years, and because the eyes of the gods gathered here, it was regarded as a place of pilgrimage by believers.
As a result, three years ago, due to the loss of contact with the turbulent gods, the rift lost its suppression, and they were unlucky to encounter the "Visitor Crisis in Another World" again.
"What is the Otherworldly Visitor Crisis?"
"Power from other worlds suddenly poured out of the rift, just like now."
"In order to defend against the crisis, the princess asked her people to evacuate, and she sealed the rift with her own body."
"The princess is just an ordinary person, right? Why is she able to suppress weirdness? ”
"Because she is the holy daughter of the god of life, the spokesperson of the gods who walk on the earth, and the controller of Hearsa."
"The merchant of another world has been commissioned to let you enter Persona City to investigate the source of the strange, and my commission is to hope that you will find the princess, and it is best to help her ......"
"I ...... Will it work? ”
Annan suddenly lost his confidence. He thought that Hearsa was just a small city, or at most a city-state of the size of Huadu, and it turned out to be an amazing city of gods?
"It's not as hard as you think...... The power of the princess is still sealing the rift, and you can see it tonight...... Her side is the safest place. ”
Maybe they also sheltered some people who didn't have time to leave.
"What if I rescue the princess, Princess Crimson's plan?"
"It's not a conflict, Annan. You saved the princess, and I don't think she would mind if you used her name to deceive her. ”
"I'm not fooling." Annan corrected it, "Okay...... I'll try it first. ”
On the bright side, Annan only needs to investigate the cause of Persona City and find the princess, instead of expelling the weird ones who are not left.
