Chapter 20 Actually, I was surprised
"Are you done, Lord Cross?" said Nia, her head still bowed.
"Hmm. ”
"You're lying. ”
Cross was stunned: Lying? This is all true, how can it be a lie.
"Nia, I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth. ”
Nia raised her head and said with a determined look in her eyes, "No, Lord Cross, you're lying, I know, you're a good person. ”
Nia doesn't know a lot of words to describe qualities like Cross, for her, there are only two kinds of good and bad to judge a person, and in her opinion, Cross is a good person.
Close knew who Nia was half human from the beginning, but he didn't show the same disgust as most people, and that's the good guy.
Cross saved Nia's life in the dense fog of the Dusk Mountains, and he was also a good person.
After seeing the tragic situation in Blackwater, Cross is determined to save Blackwater, which is a good person.
However, Nia didn't judge Cross just because of these things.
Nia's poor living environment in her childhood made her form her own set of human judgments. She doesn't judge according to what a person says, she doesn't judge based on what a person does, she judges based on the details of a person, she captures the physical details of Cross when he makes those important decisions, and she feels the kindness and tenderness in Cross's heart.
Although Nia didn't quite understand why Cross would say something like that, she knew very well that Cross was a good person. When she saw the destruction of Blackwater, she had already decided to follow Cross, and the main reason for this was that she recognized Cross. As for the fact that she will ask so many questions this time, she just wants to have an in-depth communication with this good person in her heart, however......
Cross was a little confused, he clearly said his most essential bad qualities, but the girl in front of him called herself a good person, and the tone of Nia's voice did not seem to comfort herself, nor was she tempting, he became more and more confused about what Nia was thinking. Perhaps, he has never figured out a girl's mind, perhaps, he has never really figured out the truest self.
Cross didn't know how to reply to Nia, he could only stare blankly at the half-human girl in front of him, and he found something in the girl's clear blue eyes that he didn't have - the truth.
After staring at each other for a while, Nia picked up the headscarf on the ground and hid the two beast ears again, "My lord, help me see if the ears are all covered?"
Cross snapped back to his senses and replied hastily, "Well! ”
Nia exhaled, then raised her head and stared at Cross with wide eyes, "Lord Cross, I have something to say to you. ”
Seeing Cross nodding in response, Nia continued, "Actually, I lied, I am not a member of Endless Reincarnation, the person who took me in is the one who took me in, and the ring is also his.
Someone like him is the one who really uses me, he asks me to do things for him, I'm just his tool. But you're not ......" said Nia, she suddenly paused, she probably didn't know how to express it, some words may have exceeded the limit of her ability to express.
She lowered her head, her two small hands clenched into fists, and after holding it for a while, Nya finally spoke, "You'll forgive me, won't you?" ”
Nia obviously wanted Cross to tell her lies, but such a lie was nothing to Cross and didn't need to rise to the level of forgiveness.
It's just that Cross was a little surprised, he just made a true evaluation of Nia, but Nia immediately confessed to the fact of lying.
However, he was still happy, at least, he was already clear that Nia had made the decision to follow him.
He touched Nia's head and said, "Fool, how can I blame a good person?"
Hearing this, Nia's tears instantly slipped from the corners of her eyes and threw herself directly into Cross's arms.
She was so happy, the good people in her eyes saw her as a good person, and more importantly, for the first time, she felt a feeling of pampering, which she had never had, and had always sought.
......
When the two of them walked out of Blackwater, Gawain excitedly rushed out of the small boat.
"Great! I almost thought I wouldn't see you guys!"
"Gawain, you stay safe and be careful of tripping over corpses on the ground. ”
"Corpse!?" Gawain immediately turned back to the ship.
"Poof, Lord Gawain is so cowardly. ”
Gawain's actions amused both Cross and Nia.
Back on the ship, the two of them nibbled on dry bread first, and after consuming so much, they must have been hungry.
"Lord Cross, you and William's forces killed all the scavengers in Blackwater so quickly?"
Lancelot's suspicions were not unfounded, he knew the strength of William's forces, and he knew the horrors of the scavengers.
However, it had only been an hour since Cross had set out and returned to the boat, and he didn't think that Cross and they would be able to kill so many scavengers in such a short time.
"Well, it's all killed. Nia saw that Cross's mouth was full of dry bread and answered for him.
Lancelot was a little surprised, "How many people died in William's troops?"
"Hmm...... I don't know...... Maybe a dozen, right?"
"That's why so many people died!?"
"It's a lot!" Nia, unable to comprehend Lancelot's surprise, retorted.
"After killing so many scavengers and killing a dozen people, this loss is already very small. ”
"But...... But they only killed one scavenger......"
"They only killed one!?...... the rest" Lancelot's eyes widened, he looked at Nia and then at Cross in amazement, "you killed the rest!?"
"It's not. ”
"Any other helpers?"
The conversation between the two attracted Gao Wen on the side. "What? In addition to William's troops, there are other troops?"
Hearing this, Cross almost didn't squirt out all the food in his mouth.
Nia was speechless, "You're all mistaken, there's no one else, the rest of the scavengers were killed by Lord Cross alone, and I'm only responsible for burning the corpses." ”
Gawain and Lancelot turned their gaze to Cross at the same time, and both of them showed expressions of disbelief.
"Really...... You've killed almost all of the scavengers alone!?, right...... You're too strong, aren't you? Both were shocked, but Gawain was the only one who spoke.
Cross swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Actually, I was surprised. ”
