Volume III, Chapter 48

Wrestling, crazy fighting.

It was a beast that was a head taller than Cohen, it was screaming in pain, it had no power to resist, the bones of its body were shattered by Cohen's fists one after another, and it fell miserably, blood gushing out of its mouth.

"It's over...... Cohen sat down on the body of the unknown beast and whispered, "It's over." ”

He couldn't remember how many beasts he had taken down, or when he had started doing this. I only knew that every day after the woman went out, she would follow the path she had stepped out to the forest, to find the beasts, and kill them brutally.

After that, it will be like this, sitting in a daze.

An empire, an emperor, responsibility, mission, passion, fake, fake, these are fake, fuck it.

In fact, from the moment he woke up in the hut, he regained his senses. But it was from that moment that he fell into a state of mental trance. As long as he stares at a certain place, the fragments of his past life mixed with complex emotions come to his heart one by one, and endless disappointment, endless regret, and endless fear appear together, surround him layer by layer, and these things will eventually turn into a kind of doubt about himself, resentment towards himself, and denial of himself......

They flooded his mind and lingered.

He was very strange, he knew that this was not his character, but he did not have the courage to break free, nor did he have the idea of resisting, there was only a kind of indulgence that was still piled up by these emotions, and when these negative feelings accumulated to a certain extent, he needed to vent all kinds of atrocities. But there was a voice in his head that reminded him. Don't hurt humans. Thereupon. The beasts of the forest have been plagued.

What kind of world is this. He couldn't think of any value of the world to him, and he couldn't think of the value of his own existence, and the more he thought about it, the more discouraged he became, until he finally wanted to abandon himself...... But there is still a little bit of unwillingness in my thoughts, struggling to survive in a small corner of my heart.

That's fine, don't think about the things you can't figure out, don't do the things you can't do...... The way to live with your head held high is good, but you have to pay a very painful price; But they don't have to bear any responsibility......

Revenge? What revenge? What revenge is there to repay? Is the joy of the heart worthy of a loaf of bread? Destiny ...... If this is what you have to face, then let this fate get out, can't you afford it, can't you still hide?

Run away...... Run away...... Run away...... Although there is no more passion, there will be no more pain, even if it is numb, even if it is boring, but there is calm. Calm, that's the most important thing. This broken heart can no longer withstand the twists and turns.

※※※The sun gradually moved west, and Cohen, who was dazed, stood up. Staggered back.

As it was getting dark, the woman's figure appeared on the trail and appeared in Cohen's eyes. Plain, but indispensable, weak, but the support of his heart.

She walked up to Cohen, who had been waiting for a long time, and stared at Cohen angrily: "It's changed, why don't you hide?"

Cohen knew that she must have been unhappy, so he looked back at her and pleaded innocently: "I can't find a place to hide." ”

This is followed by a daily "official" conversation.

"Is dinner ready?"

"Alright. ”

"Is the water full?"

"It's full. ”

"Do you remember the name?"

"Nope. ”

So she grinned and reached out and took Cohen's ear and entered the door, satisfied.

As she ate, Cohen looked at her, and she looked at Cohen.

It's a very ordinary woman, so ordinary that there is nothing unusual about it, and Cohen knows exactly what she is going to do when and when, but he is very cooperative every time. When he wants to pinch his ears, he will sit closer in advance, and when he wants to lose his temper, he will sit farther away...... Accommodating the woman and hiding his own accommodating behavior became the focus of Cohen's daily life.

If you want to be an ordinary person, you should live in an ordinary way, right? Any sharpness and passion will go against it.

At night, she would come to his bed and reach out to hug him. At this time, her eyes will be pure, purer than at any time of the day, and the two of them will not speak, but they can look at each other for a long time, breathing smoothly and with a peaceful face. Sometimes she goes to sleep first, sometimes she changes to Cohen......

Gradually, Cohen felt that he had adapted to this kind of life, and although he still had the twists and turns of love every day, his eyes had become more and more aware of the things around him.

The house was shabby and old, so he tried to repair it in an unfamiliar way, although the repaired appearance was even more bizarre.

Life was monotonous and boring, so Cohen used his previous talent to sweep thousands of armies to grab some small animals and keep them in captivity behind the house to add some life.

Seeing him do this, the woman laughed, so naturally, so calmly.

He even thought about the rest of his life, he knew what her career was, and he wanted to find an appropriate time to persuade her to choose a new career...... It's ironic, he hasn't sketched out his future in such detail before.

It's good to live like this, don't think about Jin Ge Iron Horse, don't think about revenge......

Live like this......

That's it......

As the days passed, it was as calm as the surface of the water without a ripple.

This afternoon, Cohen prepared his meal as usual and squatted outside on the side of the path to wait for her to return. But she never returned......

Seeing that the night was like ink, Cohen was completely panicked, and he followed the path in the direction of the town. After walking about five miles, I found that she was crawling on the road with difficulty, dragging a long trail of blood behind her, blurred.

Cohen rushed over in a few steps, picked up her thin body, and only then did he examine the wound, as if he had been struck by lightning...... It was a man-made injury, such an injury, choosing such a place to start, is something that a beast can't do!

She was hugged by him, with a surprised smile on her pale face, and said in a weak voice, "I...... I am back...... Yet!"

"What's going on? what's going on...... Cohen carefully wiped the sand from her face. Hands are shaking. My heart trembled, too.

"It's me...... Accidentally......"

Cohen hugged her tightly. With a spell in her mouth, her whole body emitted a strong white light, but it couldn't stop the slightest bit of life from dissipating from her body.

"Don't give up! I won't give up!"

Cohen cursed everything he could, using healing magic again. But it didn't work, her body was too weak, she was a demon, and she couldn't fully adapt to the magic of the gods......

"Take me...... Go back!" she whispered.

Cohen nodded, hugging her gently across his chest. Cautiously stepped, he took the woman home.

She lay flat on the bed, her eyes fixed on him, and her pale face flushed.

"You don't know my name yet!" she said, "My name is Tanny." ”

Cohen nodded, not knowing what else he could do but nod.

"It's really embarrassing for you to see me like this!" Tanny coughed lightly, "Did it scare you?"

"No ......"

"Life is like this, no one can imagine what will happen tomorrow. She squeezed out a bitter smile: "I...... I was expecting to hand you over for money......"

Cohen took her hand, not knowing if he should tell her the truth—he could get a lot of money.

"I don't know why, I didn't make up my mind. You won't blame me, will you?" her hand was cold: "You can continue to live here, can I give this place to you?"

"Okay. ”

"But there's one thing please. ”

"Hmmm!. ”

"You have to do it. Her eyes were full of worry: "I don't care if you remember who you are." I want you to do it. ”

"I ...... I'm going to finish it!"

"That's great, I ...... I have a younger sister named Jean Lun, and she will turn seven this summer. Tanny raised her voice, "She's in a magic temple in the capital of the Trafa Empire, and I, I fostered her there." ”

"You must be strange, I'm already a lowly prostitute, and I'm going to send my sister to the Demon Temple...... But for me, she is my hope, and I don't want her to know that I'm a prostitute, and I don't want her to put up with the cold eyes of others. If she grows up in the Demon Palace, she will be able to have a clean background, and she will be happy in the future......"

"I want you...... I want you to find her...... Let her grow up happily, as your officer, it shouldn't be a problem. Tanny pointed to the necklace around her neck, "Remember, she has the same necklace as me." ”

"I remember!"

"Every year, I have to send enough silver coins to the Demon Temple, but this year it seems that this year will not work, so you must find her in the fall...... Otherwise, she will be kicked out......" Tanny's eyes were no longer bright, but her hand was gripping Cohen's hand very hard: "You...... Swear, swear by who you really are!"

Cohen's throat ached, but under her eager gaze, he uttered the hard vow.

"I ...... Cohen. Kaida swears, in the name of the seventeenth Emperor of the Sbia Empire, that no matter what difficulties arise, I will fulfill your wishes. ”

Tanny's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You...... What did you just say your name was?"

"Cohen. Al Qaeda. ”

"Enemies of the Demon Alliance...... Commander of the Phantom Legion?"

"Yes. ”

"It turned out that I actually saved an enemy. The expression on Tanny's face was very complicated: "This is my retribution." ”

"There is no retribution!" Cohen shouted, "In this world, there is no retribution!"

"Forget it, what does it matter who you are? Remember, a hundred miles south of the capital, there is a high mountain surrounded on three sides by rivers, and my sister is in the temple at the top of the mountain. Tanny reached out and stroked Cohen's face, smiling and saying, "I...... I...... I should have used you...... Money...... Target. ”

"I remembered. ”

"You never laughed, I remember. Her voice grew weaker: "Even if it's for me, laugh at it! I—I really want to see it...... Your ......"

That was the last thing Tanny said, and when she was done, she was not breathing...... Even the smile on Cohen's face. She didn't see it either.

Cohen hugged her lifeless body tightly. Keep a smile on your face. A tear slowly slipped out of the corner of his eye.

It was a crystal tear, a tear that should have slipped down when Fischette fell, and at this moment, it finally flowed out.

Slowly, tears rolled down Cohen's smiling cheeks and fell.

She had been killed, and several wounds of varying shades belonged to different weapons.

She endured humiliation every day and lived without daring to show a trace of dissatisfaction. Living alone in the middle of nowhere, she was still killed!

Why, why, why would such a woman be poisoned!

With such a wound in tow, she still crawled on the ground with difficulty......

The idea of living a dull life was shattered by a qiē in front of him, and the only hope in his heart disappeared in front of him.

How else can you escape? Can you escape it? Since you can't escape it, let's stand up...... The consequences brought about by it naturally need to be borne by someone.

Cohen's body shuddered, his throat let out a low howl that couldn't tell whether he was laughing or crying, and his lilac hair gradually turned black without wind. In those bright black eyes, there was a raging rage of rage.

"Since there is no order in this world. Let me be order, since there is no one to enforce the axioms, let me be the axioms, there is no way to escape from fate, escape will make me lose a qiē, and I can no longer be afraid of responsibility, fear will bring destruction......" He solemnly took off the necklace around her neck and hung it around his neck: "I am Cohen. Kaida, I am the king of a country, I have the ability, I have the courage, I can do what you have to say. At the same time, I will live with a smile, I will laugh and blend into the world, those fools who mutilate other people's lives, they will pay......" At noon, on a lonely path outside the town, a figure came from afar.

He was a young man, with golden hair, a pair of golden eyes, and a slight smile on his heroic face, walking unhurriedly. Although the clothes on his body were tattered, the noble materials and special delicate embroidery showed that his status was extraordinary - an officer. A long wooden box was slung over his shoulder, and the box was printed with a pattern of a long dress, which appeared to be a package for an expensive long dress.

A few dirty children stood on the side of the road, sucking their thumbs and staring at him curiously. The path was not usually travelled by anyone, except for a prostitute who could be left to their mercy.

He came over, stood in front of the children, and smiled at them, and that smile was noble and elegant.

"Where do you sell clothes?" he asked kindly, "Sue me, I'll give you candy." ”

A child was surprised and pointed to the tailor shop in the distance, explained the route in detail, and then spread out his palms with an expectant expression on his face.

He smiled and bent down, spitting into the palm of his hand.

Even the most stupid child knew the difference between spittle and candy, and the boy cried, wiped his hands on the floor, grabbed a handful of mud and sand, and raised his hands to throw them away—and he smiled and waved his hand, giving the child a resounding slap in the face.

"Does it hurt?" he asked, smiling.

The child screamed and cried to his parents, but no one came. An officer, who would dare to provoke it?

And he grabbed all the children who were playing with him, smiled kindly, and beat them one by one until their noses were blue and their faces were swollen. In the end, he stripped the children of their clothes and let them practice their bare buttocks, but after a few back and forth, he got annoyed and threw the children directly into a big pit full of sludge and garbage next to them.

Walking down the street, the young man smiled kindly at everyone he met.

Then he went into the tailor's shop and said in a gentle tone, "I want a set of clothes, preferably black." ”

The shopkeeper raised his eyes and looked at his figure. When he recognized the clothes on his body, he was a little too attentive to let the customers into the store: "Yes, yes! ready-made, ready to go." ”

Dressed in clean, well-fitting clothes, the young man tried on a black mage robe.

"I want this one too, and I want a box of this size. The young man pointed to the box on the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "When I came, I saw a woman killed on the road, why didn't anyone care?"

"Sir is passing by, isn't he?" the shopkeeper was busy with the things that the young man wanted, "I know this, last night a group of samurai passed by our town, and stayed in the inn, as if they knew the innkeeper very well. Then they called a few prostitutes to go with them and have fun, and who knows what happened to them?"

"Samurai!" the young man nodded, "Can you kill casually?"

"A dead prostitute is like a dead worm, and no one cares about that. The shopkeeper smiled, sewing the parts of his robe that needed to be modified with a needle: "I can see that you need to relax, but the prostitutes here are not worthy of you, and there is a place for you to play in the north of town." ”

"Oh, that's right!" the young man nodded calmly as he looked at his new outfit, and took out a delicately crafted sword from his original box and placed it in a narrower wooden box.

"The patterns on your sword are really peculiar, and the style and style seem to come out of the gods. The shopkeeper looked at him greedily: "The loot?"

"Yes. The young man replied with a smile on his back, then reached out and twisted the shopkeeper's neck.

Having looted all the money in the tailor's shop, the young man went out into the street, smiling and asking where the inn was, looting more shops on the way.

The commotion soon spread, and someone rushed over to grab the smiling man...... Finally, in the direction of the inn, the corpses of the townsfolk lay along the way.

The owner of the inn wanted to show some heroism in the hands of this young man, but he was defeated in less than a round, knelt at the young man's feet, and told the origin, whereabouts, and destination of this group of samurai in horror - they were a mercenary group, and this time they were going to do something on the demarcation line, because they did not achieve their goal, so they were not in a very good mood. It was already gone last night, and the chartered boat left.

"Well, there's a young woman who died. The young man smiled and asked, "Do you know?"

The boss nodded, recounting the young man completely, how they tied her, how they cut her with metal, how they licked her blood......

"She's still smiling......" said the bloodied boss.

Then, there was a loud bang in the inn - the owner was gone.

The young man took a deep breath and stepped out of the inn door.

The streets outside were filled with townspeople with weapons in their hands, all looking nervously at him - the smile on his face was so charming that those who saw it were unconsciously happy.

The young man walked out of town with a long wooden box on his back, his face full of gentle smiles.

Behind him was the smoke of the fire, and a group of prostitutes huddled on the side of the road, watching him leave in horror. He smiled and walked into the place where the prostitutes worked, and the poor women huddled in the corners with their eyes closed and trembling in the corners.

Soft footsteps left the brothel, and these poor women, who didn't even have the courage to escape, each had a heavy bag of money in their hands......

It's getting dark. Young people appeared in another town, and there were few people in the deserted streets.

He tried to chase the mercenary group, but he couldn't find a ship. These towns were not very wealthy, and they did not even have a decent carriage that would be willing to be betrayed, and these carriages could not be fast, let alone travel long distances, which he did not expect.

Just then, an abnormal-looking carriage pulled up in front of him.

"Sir!" a vibrant voice called him, "do you need a carriage?

The young man smiled and looked back to see the face of an honest middle-aged man.

"Don't look at this carriage, but it's the fastest carriage in the Demon Clan!" The middle-aged man jumped out of the carriage and opened the door with his hands and feet: "Two fast horses, plus me, the best coachman, it will gallop like the wind." In addition, I charge cheaply and don't talk much......"

The young man said the name of a place, and the middle-aged man immediately clapped his chest and swore that he would be safely delivered—even though it was almost a thousand miles from the town, and the place he had to pass through was very desolate.

"Alright!" the young man nodded, "Just use your carriage, take the money, and go to prepare food first." ”

The coachman went happily, and the young man got into the carriage, waiting for the journey that was about to begin. (To be continued......)
