Chapter 399: Aqua Blue Stars (VI)
Looking at the girl in front of them, everyone's faces were a little complicated. Of course, they have heard of what God's outcasts are. The views on God's forsaken are different opinions and are not easy to talk about. Overall, though, most people tend to think that Godforsaken are unblessed and forsaken beings, and this is not uncommon within the Templar Order. This can't blame them for being biased, after all, the Klein continent is not the earth, and the birth of man is indeed blessed by the gods, in this case, things like genetic defects or congenital developmental disorders on the earth are quite rare, even the thinnest and most malnourished women can successfully give birth to a baby with sound senses and limbs, at most they are weak and sickly.
And things like congenital disabilities are stained with a bit of darkness on the Klein continent, and people have rumored that they were abandoned by the gods, or because of what happened in their previous lives, they were cursed. All in all, it would be no good to get involved with these children--and it seemed to the adventurers that it was the same now, and as they had all turned into monsters along the way, the little girl had not gone mad, nor had she been hurt, and had even seemed quite calm. Normal people in a group of madmen are more terrible than madmen, so many people can't help but have a little more jealousy in their eyes when they look at that girl, and even some have begun to guess that this god outcast is the culprit of everything that happened here? Otherwise, why can't even those clergy who are firm in their faith and conviction support now, but this little girl is able to do it? Could it be that they are here this time to take this girl away, or simply to kill her?
The little girl is obviously quite sensitive to the gaze of everyone. Under the gaze of these people, she instinctively took two steps back. Then he leaned over to Jenn's side on the other side.
Ay?
And seeing the girl's action, everyone was stunned. The human gaze can only subconsciously reflect their emotions. In fact, they don't think they've done anything excessive. However, people who cannot see with their eyes are particularly sensitive to people's gaze, and for them, the sight is not only "tangible", but it is even possible to judge the other person's emotions from the priority of the gaze.
But these people obviously don't know this, but in their opinion, the other party is just a child, and it is natural to be close to those who seem to be amiable, such as Nadia's soft tone. And just now this child was willing to answer her question obediently, according to reason. That girl should be close to Nadia. But the fact is that the other party actually ran next to Jenn, which really made everyone a little puzzled -- you must know that this gentleman's temper is not good, and in general, nobles are afraid to avoid such things as God Forsakens, according to their ideas, I am afraid that it is not surprising that Jenn kicked the other party away.
But the truth was that the girl ran up to Jenn, and Jenn just glanced at her and didn't say anything.
It's quirky.
Doubts relative to others. Nadia knew something about this, she knew that Jenn had built a special monastery in Passus to adopt those outcasts, so even if the girl in front of her was an outcast, Jenn would not see her as a flood beast like the others.
But even so. Nadia couldn't believe that the girl in front of her was the one mentioned in the order. She hesitated for a moment, but finally looked at the girl in front of her. Then he asked.
"Little sister, can you tell me your name?"
Hear Nadia's inquiry. The girl hesitated, then spoke.
"My name is Valrhona......... Valrhona. Trixien. ”
Although deep down I expected it. But after really hearing the girl's answer, everyone's faces still showed incredible expressions, and they only felt that their mission was simply too weird. And even Nadia was stunned for a moment, and then asked again.
"So, can you tell me what's going on?"
Hearing this, the girl hesitated for a moment, and then began to tell everyone about everything that had happened before.
In fact, even the girl herself did not know what had happened, only that at the beginning, the Bishop seemed to have received an oracle from the goddess of water, telling them to leave the temple and hide in a safe place. Then the girl only remembered that the bishop had taken herself, some of the refugees who had sought refuge in the temple at the time, and other paladins who had resolutely left the temple, and then came to the cave below the temple through a secret passage, waiting for rescue.
After that, as time passed, the girl did not know how much time had passed, except that the situation seemed to be getting worse and worse, and that the refugees wanted to leave the place and return to the surface due to the lack of enough food. Then they quarreled with the clergy, and the two sides even moved hands, some of them left, and others parted ways with them. After that, the refugees began to attack them as if they had gone crazy, and eventually all of them were killed. Then things began to deteriorate, and signs began to appear among the old bishop and her clergyman, and soon the whole camp was in shambles.
Faced with such a situation, Valrhona naturally could do nothing, she could only curl up in a ball in horror, listening to the screams, roars, screams and fights coming from outside the tent. From time to time, these voices rang out and then disappeared. Eventually, only the old bishop, Valrhona, and five or six paladins remained in the camp. And after that, even they were not spared, Valrhona still remembers the scene when their painful ** turned into a beastly roar, and then began to scream and talk nonsense like crazy. Even the old bishop eventually turned into a monster.
But............
"Grandpa Dellett didn't kill me."
As she spoke, Valrhona's face showed sadness.
"I knew he had become a monster, the same thing that tried to kill us, but he didn't kill me, and he ordered the other monsters not to kill me. Food was also prepared for me........."
"Then you know why they're protecting you?"
As she spoke, Nadia frowned and glanced carefully at Valrhona in front of her.
"The Bishop also calls you a saint......... Do you know what that means? ”
"I don't know ............"
Valrhona shook her head at Nadia's inquiry.
"I'm not a saint, and Grandpa Dellet didn't call me that before..............."
According to Valrhona, she was picked up and raised by the bishop, and due to the sensitive status of the outcast, this girl didn't even go out to the temple on weekdays, and she barely knew anything about the outside world. And she can't see with her eyes, and she can't get out, which actually doesn't mean much to her. Of course, most of the people in the Temple of Water turn a blind eye to Valrhona's identity, but they want to think that she is a saint because of this......... That's kind of weird.
"So, do you have any special powers? For example, what sounds do you hear? Or what force can be sensed? ”
Hearing Valrhona's answer, Nadia asked again, but Valrhona still shook her head. Except that she can't see with her eyes, she is no different from ordinary people, and naturally there is nothing special about her -- otherwise, I am afraid that she would not be able to live now.
“……………”
Nadia had no choice but to look at the crowd at first, and then turned her head to look at Jenn helplessly.
"Mr. Jenn, this ............"
But before Nadia could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Jenn.
"Anyway, our mission has been accomplished, and this imp is obviously what we are looking for. Her name is indeed Valrhona, and is there any concealment and deception in what she says, don't you, as a paladin with the True Eye, know more than I do? How? Did she lie to you? ”
"This ......... Not .........."
Hearing this, Nadia was also speechless. As a paladin with the Eye of Truth, she naturally has the ability to see through whether others are lying, and Valrhona has nothing to hide in front of her, nothing to deceive. It doesn't matter if it's her name, her experience, or her background.
"That's it, mission done, pack up and we're ready to call it a day and go home."
With that, Jenn snapped his fingers at the priest next to him.
"Alright, now we can signal to Carter that we've found our target, let them go back to where they are and join us, and then everyone pack up and get out of this place."
Although everyone still had some doubts about this, now that Jenn had already made a decision, they naturally didn't think much about it. The priest nodded, and then he raised the scepter in his hand, intending to release the Holy Light Bullet into the sky. And at this time.........
“―――!”
Suddenly, a dazzling pure white light bullet flew into the sky, and then burst in mid-air, reflecting a pure white color. And seeing this scene, everyone was stunned......... What's going on? Obviously, I found someone here, why did the other side send out a signal flare first?
"Boom !!"
At this moment, suddenly, accompanied by a roaring sound, immediately after, the dust raised in the distance suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
"Looks like Carter and they're in trouble."
Seeing this, Jenn's eyes narrowed, and then he turned his head and gestured to the others.
"Let's go see what's going on!" (To be continued......)
