37. Dilemma
PS: The first update of the good ......
"So that stunned young man is your friend? uh, sure enough, there are some resemblances to you......"
"Don't think I can't hear it, you're actually saying that we're both reckless, aren't you?" Thinking of her unfriendly attitude towards Aisha at the beginning, Fanya's face flushed, "Aophee, she completely stabbed the hornet's nest by herself, in fact, she will come to you completely outside of the plan, and it has nothing to do with this Holy See mission." β
"Is that so? It's just her own will......
If so, the nun's obsession with fragrance is a bit curiousβno matter what, the fragrance has nothing to do with the other party, and when she went to the Holy See after her childhood, the fragrance had already withdrawn from the Holy See, right?
Aisha could see very clearly that the nun's eyes were full of deep obsession with someone. That's just the treatment that only the enemy who kills his father has it......
"Well, Fanya, is that friend of yours still a blood relative?"
"Why did you suddenly ask this?Well, I don't know the specific situation, but it seems that Aoife said that she didn't have a mother from the beginning, and her father is still alive...... It's just that it doesn't seem to be a good relationship. β
Hearing Fanya's explanation, Aisha also understood.
There is no mother, only a father, and the relationship is not very good...... These conditions almost coincide with the answer that Aisha had hoped for β and as expected, humanity has been repeating the same sorrow. A lot of things have a strong sense of immediacy!
"Aisha, you...... Did you find something?"
The smile on Aisha's face has changed subtly, perhaps because it has something to do with her childhood sweetheart. Fanya, who was originally a little sluggish, reacted very sensitively this time.
"What are you referring to? I don't know anything~"
Aisha used her incomparably pure foolish skills, blinking and looking around.
"Don't play stupid!"
"Actually, I just look around at the scenery before I talk about it, so that I can ensure the quality of my mouth and not be exposed on the spot...... Uh, don't draw your sword!
It turns out that this skill is. For some people, the effect is very poor - especially someone like Fanya, who is both impulsive, single-celled and calf-guarding.
It seems that Fanya is very protective of the nun, and she is not very rational and calm. At the moment when it comes to the other party, it is all lost. If this situation is changed to a precocious tsundere Lori like Chika, it is indeed very suitable, but both of them are in their twenties...... Think about it. Pretty subtle, isn't it?
Basically, it can be concluded. These two people should be considered children who have not grown up...... It is certainly worth complaining about Vania's care of calves until now, but on the other hand, the nun named Aoife does not seem to be a person who can be relieved.
"Hug ...... Sorry, a bit of a gaffe. Fanya, who realized that she was a little impulsive, quickly put away her weapon, put her hands behind her back, and laughed awkwardly. She was also emotional just now. Because of Aisha's performance, she has been suppressed by herself in the past two days. It lit up again.
After all, someone is just a little impulsive, but people are not stupid. What's more, there are any abnormal changes in the childhood sweetheart who has always been obsessed with, which may be difficult to find in the eyes of others, but for Fanya, it is completely different. If there is something abnormal in a person, it is difficult to hide from relatives and friends who have always cared about him.
"Oh, Fanya, you look like you've found something~"
β...... I wish it was just my delusion. But Aisha, I don't dare bet on the way you look. β
"Really, do you need me to shake you up if you're bored?"
"It's obvious that you won't tell me so generously like this, right?" Fania glanced at Aisha a little depressed, and after calming down, she also understood very well that Aisha had no intention of that from the beginning, "Moreover, this kind of thing, trying to know from other people's mouths, is originally a distrust of friends - I am still willing to believe in my friendship with Aophee, these little mysteries, will definitely not affect me." β
How to get along, or what. If you don't feel at ease if you don't figure it out, then the so-called friendship and fetters are just like that, right? This is a manifestation of not believing in yourself, let alone your friends.
"Suddenly I was a little envious of that little nun...... Forget it, just take it as a pointless nonsense - you'd better be prepared to collect your friend's body at any time. β
The expression on Fanya's face froze.
"What are you...... What do you mean?"
"Literally. Aisha looked at Fanya, who could no longer sit still, stared into her eyes, and said in a somewhat cold tone, "You know, Holy See, is a place where the concept of 'service life' is rarely considered. β
===============
"You two! Even if you are stubborn, there must be a limit!"
Aoye looked at the old and young people in front of him who were smiling very honestly, and couldn't help but hold back the fire in his belly: "Who do you think you are? Can you bring this kind of thing over by two people? If something happens on the way, can you afford it?"
"There is no way to do it, now our funds are very small, but our supply needs are so high, if we are not allocated funds, we can only save them. β
β...... In my absence, did those guys start cutting our money again?"
The job of an exorcist is no less risky than any other, and even in the Holy See it is quite a difficult errand - not to mention the great risk, which guy who needs to send an exorcist to fight is a good match? The real reason why people are excluded from this profession is the welfare of exorcists. It's just too bad.
They are also armed forces, and the treatment of the Knights is several times better than that of the Exorcists?
Most exorcists are devout people who don't expect anything in return, and they don't have any doubts about their deteriorating treatment; As the dispatcher, Aoife knew very well that the reason for the current situation was, in the final analysis, that the upper echelons of the Holy See intended to cancel the establishment of the exorcist army.
The troops are extremely combative, hard-working, and have no objections to the treatment, compared to the uncles of the knights who are supported by them. Exorcists really shouldn't be treated like this. But in fact, the biggest reason why exorcists are not treated well by the current Holy See is the biggest reason. It's their overly religious faith.
To explain it in layman's terms...... They don't work very well.
It cannot be denied that there are many devout believers in the Holy See, but the nature of the Holy See as an organization has long been deviated. Initially. The Holy See is indeed an organization united purely by faith. However, some unpleasant past history also proves that such a faith-only organization is in a very dangerous situation. As an organization with sufficient influence, its members can be paranoid or simple, but its decision-making circle must not be composed of stubborn fanatics.
For them, the exorcist army is individual capable but paranoid and admits death. Obviously it's not so easy to use.
Of course, the "extra business" that exorcists add to the Holy See is also a constant headache for them - for those who are inclined to the Holy See. These jealous and hateful exorcists are naturally extremely respectful, but there are also many people in this world who are not very interested in the Holy See. Exorcists often behave in a domineering manner, which is easily reminiscent of the Holy See at a certain time period...... For the Holy See, this is undoubtedly a black history that they want to forget.
For a long time after that, the reputation of the Holy See was very delicate, and fortunately, the Holy See itself was tormented and damaged at that time, which made them reflect on their past actions and provide a basis for future reorganization. And the Holy See, which took a hundred years to reform, has gradually recovered, and now the last stain is the exorcist army.
Their efforts, their beliefs, this can never be discredited and denied, but fate is so helpless - they have done nothing wrong, but they have become pebbles on the way of the wheels.
For the sake of the Holy See, I can only ask you to die......
Of course, the upper echelons of the Holy See will not be so direct, but the actual measures are insidious no matter how you look at them. That's the case with the so-called Bottom of the Cauldron - exorcists operate in small groups, and their tasks are usually extremely dangerous, even if the Holy See's healing magic is considered a must, but in many cases, they don't have the extra strength to use to treat their injuries, and they have to keep it for their lives. Therefore, some healing drugs, bandages, hemostats and other props are very important standing props for exorcists. However, exorcism is a profession with very poor benefits, and those medicines are not very cheap, and they are usually purchased with funds allocated by the Holy See to exorcist troops.
It can be said that this amount of money is actually used to ensure the survival rate of the exorcist troops.
Now the money that keeps the exorcists alive has been slashed, and the intention is quite sinister - when the number of this army continues to decline until it can no longer be maintained, the establishment of this army can be quietly dismantled. Anyway, there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to join the exorcist now, so I don't have to worry about what counterattack they will have.
Thinking of his people working for the Holy See every day, but the people above wanted to destroy this army in turn, Aoife felt a knot in his heart.
"You don't have to worry too much about the supply of medicines. Aoye forcibly pressed the resentment in his heart and comforted the two subordinates, "A friend of mine when I was a child is now willing to provide me with a long-term supply of medicine, at least it can survive for a while, right?"
"Really, that's great, that's a nice guy!"
"Well, that's a good guy...... When I was a child, I was always cared for by her, and it turned out that I was still like this when I grew up. β
"But I didn't expect that Lord Aoife, you also had friends when you were a childβit's hard to imagine someone who could have a good relationship with Lord Aoife when he was a child. What kind of nervousness is it? β
Aoye, who is still immersed in the warm memories of Fanya, almost chokes on a mouthful of blood from a certain uncle's nonsense.
"Uncle Campbell...... Although as an exorcist you are indeed very hard-working, from the time I joined until now. I've even survived death seven times - but I wouldn't mind letting your undead saga end here?"
"Aha, doesn't it look like the ready-made atmosphere is a little dull, so I want to adjust it?"
Campbell laughed quite unscrupulously, watching Aophee grow up, he knew very well where Aophee's bottom line was, this level of ridicule would never make Aophee really angry. But his behavior. It made the young exorcist on the side break out in a cold sweat.
Aoye's reputation outside has always been very tough, if it weren't for her arguments. With a minimum amount of funding secured for the troops, it is not surprising that the exorcist unit is now dismantled. Despite Aoife's young age, the Exorcist Corps had a lot of respect for the young girl.
The exception is for certain unscrupulous uncles......
β...... Uncle, you reminded me of some very embarrassing memories again~" Aoife covered his forehead in pain. Memories of shame from my childhood surfaced. Makes Aoife quite embarrassed.
"But don't think you'll get through by just pulling the conversation apart!"
Suddenly, Aofei changed his words, and the girlish attitude on his previous face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a rather harsh expression: "Although your reasons are quite sufficient, I don't like your attitude and ideas very much! I don't agree with it very much! I don't want to have a next time!"
"Since we have saved money to purchase drug supplies, we are trying to ensure the safety of my colleagues. Then why can't this responsibility for life be applied to yourselves? if because of this action. If it weren't for the fact that I had the ability to help you reconnect the severed limbs, the loss of personnel and combat power today would not be comparable to the funds you saved!"
"The money is not enough, it's a big deal, let's do it ourselves to earn some extra money! The people are gone, do you think I can go to the street and pull a few people to join in? The current embarrassment of the troops is not only reflected in the money!"
The two were silent.
It's not for nothing that Aoife was so excitedβin the room where she was staying, there was now a lot of blood spilled on the floor. These blood stains are the blood that spilled out when the two exorcists cut off their hands!
Something they were about to transport was broken into four parts, sealed in their own hands, and sent to Aophee across the sea...... If it weren't for the fact that Aoife happened to have a way to help them regenerate their limbs, maybe these two would have been wasted. You must know that the arms of their seals, which are the carriers of the seal, have completely disappeared when they touch the seal! It is not as simple as attaching the severed limbs.
"For two days, your hands will not be able to do strenuous movements. The newborn arm is not yet able to adapt to your strength, and it will take some time for the strength in your body to be tempered - in the meantime, you two can give me a little rest. Especially you, uncle, you definitely instigated Dennis this time, right? Write me a 5,000-word self-review...... No, write three copies! one for me, one for yourself, and one for everyone to read when you go back!"
"You're going to die! you know that I hate this the most......"
"It's okay if you don't write it, then you can reimburse the expenses of the troops for the next half month. We're all very frugal, and we don't spend much, just 500 silver coins, what do you think?"
"I'm sorry, I'm going to recognize my mistake. β
Uncle Campbell hung his head and walked out of the house with a sad face. Just as Dennis was about to follow Campbell's footsteps, Offie stopped him.
"He's going to write a review, and you don't need to. β
"Eh, then I'm ......."
"Clean the room with blood on the floor. You two made this up, do you plan to let me stay in this room that smells of male blood?
"I didn't ...... No problem!"
The young exorcist hurriedly stood upright, saluted, and his movements were done in one go, which was extremely standard.
β...... I think you and Campbell should complement each other a little bit - there's no need to be so restrained, and we in this unit with a bumpy fate shouldn't play that trick anymore. Of course, a guy like Campbell is out of the woods, that's a bad example, don't follow him. β
Oddie didn't care what the young exorcist thought, and walked straight out of the room.
β......β
Aoife walked some distance and looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, the expression on his face finally stopped being serious, and was replaced by a painful expression that was plagued by pain.
"Is it still too reluctant?"
She used her right hand, which was fused with the mysterious skills of the demons, to tightly hold her left hand, which was almost immobile, and finally relieved a lot of pain. This right hand has the ability to "disturb" and "interfere", and it is also quite effective to deal with the pain of the left hand that seals "something" into it at this time.
Before, the two exorcists had only sealed a quarter of the seal in one hand, but after integrating them together, the burden on the body was far beyond Aophe's imagination. Even with her body, she felt a little unbearable.
"It was nothing more than a dead thing when it was separated, but now, it's activated...... Isn't that so? β
Oddie leaned helplessly against the wall and took a deep breath.
"My weakness is that I'm too impulsive β it's not the first time I've suffered in the past two days, and it looks like I have to fix it. (To be continued......)
