Chapter 105: Heretics (10/10) Ask for subscription!
Because they spent a lot of time guiding Yaeki on the road, it was already completely dark when the Shadow Blade team arrived in Firu.
The mayor and the priest gave them a warm welcome and arranged for them to stay and board.
Night.
Yae Ji was lying on the bed alone, remembering that during the lunch break today, La Xie'er was holding a large piece of jerky alone, like a hamster, where to eat.
As soon as Yae Ji closed his eyes, his mind was full of Laxier's appearance like a hamster eating.
I have to say that La Xie'er is really magical when she eats!
Yae Ji finally understood why the five people in the team were carrying six dry foods.
"Bang Bang~"
Yaeji's ears moved, he turned over and got out of bed, picked up the sword beside him, and walked to the door.
"Who?"
"I, Yumi."
"Click~"
Yae Ji opened the door, and there was no one standing outside who was the lieutenant of the Shadow Blade team.
There were still a few droplets of water hanging from the end of the short black hair, and the moment the door was opened, Yae Ji smelled a clear fragrance.
Yumi had just taken a shower.
Yae Ji glanced at Yumi, who was dressed in simple clothes, turned sideways, and motioned for the other party to come in.
The short-haired beauty, still with a paralyzed face as always, walked straight to the wooden table in the house and sat down.
After Yaeji closed the door, Yumi glanced at him again, stopped for a moment at the position of the sword that was crossed by his waist, and said, "Be vigilant, keep it up." β
Yae Ji took advantage of the situation to get to the opposite side of Yumi, and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Yumi leaned out of his upper body and approached Yaeji's ear until the black hair and pink hair were sticky with the waterdrops, and Yumi whispered in Yaeji's ear: "Don't touch anything sent by the mayor, including food and water, and eat the dry food you brought." β
Yae Ji asked quietly, "What's wrong?" β
"There's weirdness."
Yumi left these three words, stopped talking, and sat for a while before leaving Yaeji's room.
After a while, sure enough, a servant brought dinner, and cooked melons and fruits were readily available. When the servant left, Yae Ji picked up a fruit and put it on the tip of his nose, sniffed it, and put it back again.
Since the most analytical lieutenant in the squad said so, he had better be careful.
Yae Ji returned to the bed, took out some dry food to eat, unscrewed the water bag again, and took a sip.
Lying down on the bed, Yae Ji closed his eyes and kept his palms on the hilt of the knife beside him.
......
After a night of uneventful, Aretha approached the mayor of the town early the next morning to inquire about the affairs of her subordinate villages. After receiving the information, the members of the Shadowblade team immediately rushed to 'Buck Village'.
Buck Village has been harassed by Honkai Beasts recently, and as long as the people in the village go out, there is a high probability of death.
It wasn't until yesterday that the villagers who escaped the disaster ran to the town for support...... The mayor was about to report the news......
These are all the mayor's words, and Aretha and Yumi naturally don't believe them all.
When she walked out of the confines of Firu Town, Aretha said, "Miyou, you explain the situation to Xiaoji and Laxie'er!" β
"Yes!" "Yesterday when I went to look for the priest, I noticed that someone was following me. Judging by the means of tracking, it looks like a trained person. What's more, the priest doesn't know our code. β
La Xie'er was thoughtful, Yaju Ji was a little confused, the priest could understand, after all, such a big sect as the Mandate of Heaven, it was normal for a small town to be stationed in a church.
But the code...... How had he never heard of it?
"Yumi, analyze how this matter relates to our mission." Aretha said coldly.
The adjutant of the squad replied without hesitation: "There is not enough information, and I can't draw conclusions for the time being." The Intelligence Department of the Eastern General Military District showed that there was a collapse reaction in this area, and it would definitely not go wrong. The mayor and the priest ...... My guess is that some rebels have approached Firu. β
"Rebels?" Yae Ji was confused, and he said the word more than once from the mouths of the members of the team. Britain is the headquarters of the Mandate of Heaven, and there are rebels in such places?
As if seeing Yaeji's doubts, Yumi explained: "The Mandate of Heaven is extremely inflated, and the establishment of branches in the surrounding countries has only been a matter of recent decades. Especially after a large number of ancient instruments were unearthed, it was out of control. β
"The so-called 'rebels' are just a term, the church prefers to call them 'infidels', they are mainly displaced people from other countries, and they have been active in the more densely populated areas, and from time to time harass the forces of the Mandate of Heaven."
"Wait!" Yae Ji exclaimed, "Active in a place where Honkai is more dense? How did they survive? Doesn't it mean that only young women are generally resistant to Honkai energy? β
"Heh~" Youmi said disdainfully: "Their brains are not good, and others have set up an ethereal god for them, saying that it is the destiny of heaven that has brought about the collapse, so that their homes will be destroyed." β
"This ......" Yae Ji twitched the corners of his mouth, this sense of dΓ©jΓ vu was really familiar, just like the fox god of Yae Village. However, the fox god can really control the clouds and rain, and it remains to be said whether the "god" among the pagans exists or not.
"This is brainwashing, once it doesn't work twice, twice it doesn't work three times. It really doesn't work, just start with the next generation. Yumi said in a flat tone: "Fanatics are the best to control, as long as they say that death will return to the embrace of 'God', they are even more fearless of death, I think they can laugh out loud when they die." β
Yae Ji lowered his eyelids slightly, and he who came out of Yae Village was obviously able to analyze the truth of Yumi's words.
Suddenly, Yaeji remembered what the Divine Lord had said to him...... Raising his head, he asked, "Isn't the Mandate of Heaven committed to fighting against Honkai?" Why can't it be explained? No matter how bad it is, it's easy to establish the image of another god, right? When the time comes......"
"Don't be naΓ―ve!" Aretha scolded, "You're only thirteen years old, and when you have more contact with those mad dogs, you'll naturally know!" β
Miyu, who was closely behind Aretha, slowed down slightly and came to a position parallel to Yaeji.
"Xiaoji, I can call you that, right?"
"Hmm."
I don't know if it's Yaeji's illusion, but he seems to see a momentary smile bloom on Miyu's paralyzed face.
"Honkai beasts are hateful, but they are things that can be seen and touched. We don't need to say more, as long as the strength is enough, they give birth to one, we will kill one! Born a pair, we will kill a pair! Until the source is solved! β
"But there is one thing more terrifying than Honkai, it can't be seen, it can't be touched, and it doesn't see blood when it kills."
"What is it?" Yaeki asked.
"People's hearts!" Mi Yu looked at Yaju Ji and said, "The human heart is unpredictable, and the sea water is difficult to measure. Since the expansion of the Mandate of Heaven, all kinds of cows, horses, ghosts and gods have appeared. Most of these rebels are behind other countries, because the Mandate of Heaven interferes in their domestic regimes, and in order to influence the Mandate of Heaven, these rebels are nothing more than gadgets they have made. β
Yaeki was silent.
It may be that the wounds he received in Yae Village have been healed here in Destiny. After Mi Yu said this, Yaju Ji suddenly woke up.
How can there be so much kindness?
It's just that his value is there.
The members of the Shadow Blade Team were silent, and the horses replenished by the night grass were full of energy and physical strength, and the group of people quickly approached Buck Village.
In a nearby forest, Yaeji's heart suddenly trembled.
"Wait!"
......
