Chapter 402: Two Ways Home
On the way back, Aaron never said a word to Wayne, and he was still haunted by Wayne's death of Lara, and when he buried Gruze and Lara, his face never looked good.
Wayne doesn't care about this, he doesn't care what others think of him, he only does what he thinks is right, Gruze will die, holiness must be recycled, and even if holiness is not recycled, Lala will not choose to live alone.
Instead of watching your loved one die in front of you, you should keep the good memories of being alive to the end.
It was still early for the mission to return, and Wayne handed over the holiness to Aryan and chose to get off in France, and he didn't say why he got off.
On the way back to England alone and with holiness, Toma said a word of justice for Wayne, "Lord Aaron, Lord Wayne is doing the right thing, and in that case, it will be the best outcome for Gruze and Lara." β
Hearing Thoma's persuasion, Aaron couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Even if you say so, I still can't forgive him for doing so, this is indeed our task, but we are also human beings, and we can't even lose that side of humanity..."
Listening to Aaron talk about human nature, Thoma didn't know what to say, in his opinion, Aaron was saying that Wayne had no humanity, but from his point of view, Wayne's approach was right, if it was him, he would have chosen it this way. It can only be said that this Lord Aaron's idea is a little too naΓ―ve.
There is no innocence in exorcists, and the Black Order does not allow naivety to exist, and the result of naivety is inevitably destruction, because this world does not need naivety at all.
Keeping what little bit of kindness he had, Wayne followed his own thoughts and wishes to make judgments, doing everything he thought was right.
Just like now, he sensed that there was a hint of holiness, and it was clear that he would inevitably be punished by the Black Order for hiding holiness privately, but he also wanted to get a piece of holiness and take it back to study, this was his purpose, if he didn't go back, he would be able to bear the consequences.
Pushing the door into a tavern, surrounded by noisy people, Wayne looked around, and locked his eyes on a pale man, his eyes were dull, although he could communicate with people normally, but obviously not half angry, so he was not alone.
Where there are demons, there is tragedy, this is the theorem, and where there are demons, there is holiness, and the devil in addition to creating tragedy is to destroy holiness, which is the purpose of the millennium earl to create demons.
Therefore, Wayne thinks that his induction is not wrong, there is indeed holiness here, but he can't catch its qi, according to the theorem of the previous Matru legend, there is a strange rumor that the information about holiness is found.
The tavern is a place where dragons and snakes mingle, and it is also the best place for information exchange.
A simple cloak as a disguise, the demon here did not see Wayne's identity, the bartender in the bar, or the proprietress was a blonde woman in a suit and sunglasses, it was strange why no one accosted her, maybe the proprietress was too close to her.
Finding a place at the bar and sitting down, Wayne asked for a beer.
The proprietress glanced at him, silently poured a glass of beer and handed it to him, without communicating the whole time.
Wayne didn't pay attention to her, listening to the information coming from the discussions around her.
"Did you hear that? Something strange is said to have happened to the north. β
"What's the matter? I haven't heard of it. β
"It is said that there is a forest that you can't get out of when you go in, and many people have called it the Forest of Death."
"I've heard about it, it seems that 31 people have gone missing, and there is a sign over there that prohibits entry."
"Wouldn't it be over if you set it on fire?"
"How can it burn? Who dares to burn? How long did it take to rebuild the largest forest in the entire southern part of the country? β
Hearing this, a flash of brightness flashed in Wayne's eyes, cannibalistic forest? This is very much in line with the rumor about holiness, and that the person or thing to which holiness is attached must change strangely.
Like Matru's puppet, the people there were found holy, and placed in Lala's body, giving it life.
If this was the same situation in this forest, Wayne wouldn't be surprised.
Dropping a gold coin, Wayne took his first and last sip of beer and hurried out of the tavern.
The proprietress saw it all the time, took back the beer without saying a word, poured it out, and wiped the glass again after cleaning, but her movements seemed to be very slow, obviously thinking about something.
Riding the train to the south, and speeding along the scenery, Wayne couldn't help but think that if he got the holiness, the first thing he would do was to bring it back to the Overworld and hand it over to Emilia for safekeeping, and then try to find some researchers who study holiness to study the power of holiness and transform it into a universal weapon.
In fact, the easiest way is to achieve the goal of annexing the world by completing the task of the world, and master the manpower, material resources and technology of the world.
It's just that it seems to be more difficult to complete the world tasks of this world than those previous worlds.
Under the premise of not being able to complete the world's tasks, it is imperative to get what you need alone.
For example, demonic creation, for example, the weaponization of holiness.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but be fascinated, he didn't even notice when a black cat landed on Wayne's legs, until he came back to his senses, watching the black cat curl up on his knees, he unconsciously stroked his right hand on its soft fur, for a moment, he felt the black cat's body tense, but in the next second it softened, I don't know if it was an illusion.
When the train stopped, Wayne got up, picked up the black cat and tried to put it on the ground, but found that she jumped on his shoulder first, which made him laugh, "I'm going to do business, are you sure you want to come along?" β
The black cat tilted his head, as if he didn't understand, and looked at him so persistently, as if he was determined to rely on him.
Thinking that the journey would be unaccompanied after all, Wayne stopped driving the black cat, so he took the cat off the train and headed for the forest of death in the south.
When Wayne got into the carriage and told him his destination, the frightened coachman was so frightened that he didn't dare to go, and finally Wayne offered twice the price before he agreed.
In this regard, Wayne sat in the carriage and joked at the black cat, "Human beings are so greedy, for the sake of profit, they will not even cherish their lives." β
The black cat lowered its head slightly, and a glint flashed in its amber eyes.
