Relic (6)
"What should I do?"
"Leave her here?"
"A girl?"
"Maybe we can send her to the nearest town. ”
"Time doesn't allow, we'll miss the time for the escort to assemble. ”
"That'...... Leave someone with her?"
"Who's left?"
......
...
The body was as heavy as lead, and it was extremely difficult to even open the eyelids.
The girl regains consciousness, but fails to take control of her body. She felt herself lying on the soft grass, surrounded by three people communicating, listening to the content, deciding what to do with herself.
Gracker: "If we don't make a quick decision, we're probably going to miss the meeting." ”
Laura: "So that's your suggestion?"
Pierce: "...... Don't look at me, I don't know. ”
When the bounty hunters were still a day away from their destination, a young girl suddenly appeared on the side of the road, and the girl suddenly fell to the ground, and has been unconscious ever since.
Undecided, both the dwarven warrior and Pierce glanced at the fourth person present.
Laura frowned.
Do these two guys know who they're asking?
The old vulture pondered for a moment before saying, "As a human being, I don't think you can leave a teenage girl in such a place, even if no monsters appear, the beasts of the night will tear her to pieces, and she doesn't look good." ”
The old vulture's robe was draped over the maiden.
When I first saw the girl, the other party was obviously wearing clothes that did not fit his size, and the trousers were propped up into shorts, and the clothes could only cover the chest, and the navel was completely exposed to the air. The girl was not wearing shoes, her white feet were covered with mud, and she was full of blood under the destruction of stone chips, and there were large and small wounds on her body that were cut by sharp branches and leaves to varying degrees.
Listening to the old vulture's words, the dwarven warrior looked embarrassed.
"But as a bounty hunter in words. "I don't think it's a good thing to have her with me. ”
Pierce: "Why?"
The old vulture looked at the three of them and said, "Everyone, don't forget our mission this time, and the nature of this mission, this time is extraordinary, and I think everyone knows the importance in their hearts. And in such a mission, when we are about to reach our destination, we happen to meet her on the side of the road, will it be ......"
Grak: "What do you mean by that?"
"Do you think she's ......," Laura said as she looked at the girl and lowered her voice, "maybe it was deliberately arranged?"
Pierce said in the same small voice, "But isn't this a classified mission?"
Old Vulture: "Yes, but it was known from the beginning, wasn't it? It was because the news was leaked and I knew that someone would come to rob it, so I deliberately ...... it."
As he spoke, the old vulture held up two fingers.
Two escort teams will be specially arranged, one of which will be used as a bait.
The trio fell silent and began to think about this possibility, one they had never considered.
Laura casually glanced at the old vulture, and she realized that she needed to re-examine the man again, and at the same time need to pay more attention to him.
The other party's analysis and consideration of one thing alone is far above the three of them.
Gerak: "So, what the hell are we going to do?"
Pierce: "If this girl is here to rob the Holy ...... She was the only one who grabbed the things, and why did she look for us? If we finally decided to split up and send her to a nearby town while continuing to her destination, wouldn't her purpose be achievable?"
Old Vulture: "Maybe it's just an attempt, and we just want to have an entry point, a gamble to see if we can get her closer to the 'target' she wants, and in any case, we can't let our guard down, and we have to be more cautious than any previous mission." ”
Grack: "But we've been talking for so long, haven't we still been inconclusive?"
The old vulture figured out in his heart and said, "If we start our journey earlier tomorrow and travel faster, we should still be able to get to where we want to go within the allotted time, right?"
Gerak also thought about it seriously: "Say...... That said, it is possible to shorten the time spent sleeping and eating. ”
Pierce: "So you mean?"
Old vulture: "It's not too early, we almost have to choose a place to sleep tonight, why don't we take some time tonight, and when the girl wakes up, we will understand the situation and make plans." ”
The compromise was more acceptable to both the Dwarven Warriors and Pierce.
At this time, Laura interjected coldly: "How do you know that the girl is not pretending now? and she probably has the strength to kill us, at least equal to us." ”
The questioning, which was based on normal concerns, was marked with suspicion.
It is suspected that someone may be an accomplice with the girl, for the sake of the holy relic, after all, someone has really received benefits from the Holy See before, and he has a criminal record.
The other two were on the road, and they were less suspicious of the old vulture, so it was better to be suspicious of themselves.
The old vulture smiled happily at this and said, "Don't worry, I can still see this, girls are just girls." ”
A heavy punch was slammed into the soft cotton.
The other party's answer is obviously evasive, and he clearly heard the meaning, but he chose to go around in circles, and the answer that seemed to answer was not an answer at all.
The most incredible thing is that without waiting for Laura to ask again, his two companions have already recognized this kind of speech, and it is obvious that the two have unconsciously put the old vulture above the balance of experience, and walked all the way down, subtly recognizing that the other party's experience and insight are far better than them.
also subtly recognized the other party's decision.
......
...
Before nightfall, the bounty hunters had chosen a place to rest for the night, and began to prepare dinner as usual.
Laura, who is still the head chef, is a little depressed, teaming up with two simple-minded guys, saying that regret is not enough, but there must be blame, before leaving, she swore that the three of them discussed everything, and tried not to have anything to do with the old vulture, and now, the three people discussed it was three people to discuss, but it was himself who was removed.
Or maybe the smell of dinner worked, the girl regained consciousness, she sat up, the five of them looked at each other, motionless, and the atmosphere was a little strange.
"Are you hungry?"
Laura was the first to speak.
"Hungry. ”
The girl replied succinctly.
It was probably a long time since she had eaten a good meal, and the girl's appearance of eating could be described as ferocious, her eyes never left the food, she didn't care about the heat, she couldn't use the utensils, and her mouth was stuffed with food and her hands were still holding it, which made people worry about whether she would be choked in the next moment.
After a full meal, the girl obviously recovered a lot.
Without any extra politeness, the old vulture asked directly, "What's your name, and why are you here?"
"My name is Tia and I'm in ...... Why am I here?"
Grak: "Hey, we asked you, and you asked us, how do we know?"
Pierce: "Do you remember anything else?"
Tia looked at the crowd with a confused expression.
After being stunned for a while, he suddenly said.
"Holy relics. ”
A meal of air.
The four lines of sight fell on the girl in unison.
But the girl was like a demon, and her thoughts were broken.
"Holy relics, looking for them, no, no, no, no, that's not a holy relic, or is this a holy relic? If it's found, you have to run away, just catch it, it's over, it will start on its own, it has its own thoughts, it must be suppressed, buried in the deepest depths, forget, forget, forget, forget ......"
Grad listened to the other party's inexplicable and illogical words, and was about to ask a question, but was stopped by the old vulture raising his hand.
He just looked at the girl quietly until the other party stopped, and then asked, "What do you know about the holy relics?"
Tia thought for a moment and said in a confident tone, "It depends on what kind of holy relic you are asking. Not all relics can be called relics, and to explain this, we have to start with the origin of the relics, do you know what the relics are?"
The old vulture replied with the same confidence: "The artifact left by the gods in the world. ”
Tia smiled: "That's right, only the artifacts left by the gods are the real holy relics, and each of them is very powerful, because they have been used by the gods, or a part of the gods. ”
Old Vulture: "So?"
Tia: "So not all relics are relics, it's just that everyone calls the artifacts that are related to the gods relics, have you forgotten?" Don't you know, there are many holy relics in this world that are actually very far from the real holy relics, these holy relics have not been used by the gods, nor are they from the gods, they are just the breath emitted by the gods when they came to the world and attached to something, after years of fusion, under the rendering of the breath of the gods, these things have become a pseudo-holy relic. ”
After hearing the words, everyone was confused.
Tia rolled her eyes and smiled, "Looks like you really don't know." ”
The old vulture asked rhetorically, "Then how do you know?"
Tia: "Of course it'......"
The girl froze, her smile faded away, and then began to show panic.
"How do I know? Who told me this? No, no, no, it's not right, it's not me, I, I am, I'm Tia, I'm from...... Where am I from? Who am I?"
The girl tugged at her hair and banged her head, trying to dig into her memories, but she couldn't find a clue except the blank space in her mind.
So she tried harder.
Laura stepped forward to stop the girl, and she hugged Tia and whispered to reassure her, so that the girl would not continue to hurt herself.
Laura looked at the other three, but the other three couldn't respond to her because no one knew what was going on.
Pseudo-holy relics that have never been heard of.
Girl with weird manners.
Only know her name, and the other girls don't know anything.
Immersed in the secrets of past history, how does a teenage girl know?
Does the Holy See, which specializes in the management of holy relics, know about this?
Why would I be so convinced by the girl's words inexplicably?
Is it because of her affirmative tone?
That is a tone that seems to tell a fact that is known to everyone?
There was no answer, only silence.
It was a night full of unknowns.
