Chapter 8
Chapter 8
.The League of Braves didn't expect much from them, they just hoped that they could hold back the dragon until the arrival of the main force.They were asked to persist for a day without retreating a single step.They are outcasts, and high-level officials don't care about this small team at all.There were 51 warriors in the whole warrior group, 13 survived in the end, eight were seriously injured and five were slightly injured.In the end, only seven people were able to live normally.Zenas was almost the one who was injured the most, but also the one who recovered most thoroughly.Yes, she was submerged in the blood of the dragon and received the blessing of the dragon, which is the same as Siegfried's blessing in "The Song of the Nibelungen", but the difference is that she is not as mysterious as invulnerability, at most her recovery ability is Nearly ten times that of ordinary people, with the highest resistance to poison and curse.She almost became a being close to God.
According to the description of the survivors, Zenas finally rose up suddenly, as if she had become another person, and defeated the dragon with her own strength.
After this battle, everyone only remembered Zenas.The warrior group was disbanded due to the leader's coma, and the only person who fought side by side with Zenas in the past was Almit, who was still a hero.
"I didn't participate in the strategy because I was pregnant, and I still regret it when I think about it now." Gao Rui inserted the carnations she brought into a white vase.The light pink flowers added some bright colors to the pale ward, I smiled wryly: "What are you regretting? You are living so well now, the head of the group will be very relieved to see it."
"The head of the group will be very pleased." She sighed: "All of you comfort me like this."
Cynthia stared at the team leader thoughtfully, while Isabel was checking the medical report.
"This situation is indeed not optimistic." Isabel said with some seriousness.
"No." Cynthia categorically rejected Isabel's idea.She took out the small flashlight from her pocket and shone it on the head of the regiment.Countless runes appeared on the originally bare skin: "That's right! That's right! My idea was right!" Cynthia put away the flashlight, with a confident smile on her face: "I was very concerned about why sister I got the blessing without paying any price. Now I understand. My sister’s blessing and curse should be relative. In that battle, even if my sister got the blessing, she could not escape death. And the head of the team sacrificed all the wounded for her to survive. The pain was transferred to him, and he stopped the curse for his sister." She paused as she spoke, "This curse is nothing but immortality. The leader will always bear the pain of my sister in the dark."
We didn't speak, and for about 2 minutes, Isabel asked first: "What evidence do you have?"
"I know it sounds illogical..."
"Since it's illogical you should know you're probably wrong."
"I don't think so."
"Since you said that the curse is immortality, why is he dying?"
"Stop arguing, what Cynthia said is right." A hoarse female voice came from the door: "I was there, and I know what happened."
"Almit?"
She was taller and thinner than I expected.Her short hair, dyed dark blue, just covered her ears, and the horrific wound from slaying a dragon stretched from her right ear to her right eye.Fortunately, her eyes are still intact.She got some tattoos on top of her wounds, making her look extra vicious.
She is Almit, Zenas' childhood friend who knows everything about her past.
Today's brave man:
Still working very hard to tease my younger sister.But what if the kids don’t seem to like me very much?
([-]) Braves are about to start doing things
She walked straight up to me and gave me a hard left uppercut, which completely blinded me.How could someone be so cruel when they first met?Is this still "my" childhood sweetheart?
I was knocked down on the ground, Isabel quickly helped me up, and asked, "Are you all right, are you all right?" Then she looked at Almit fiercely.Gao Rui smiled and shook her head: "You are still the same!"
"Well. Seeing this face makes me angry."
"I can understand your feelings." Cynthia smiled kindly at Almit, "You really came."
I rubbed my face and looked at her very aggrieved, what did I do wrong?
"That day I witnessed the signing of the contract between the boss and the dragon. I tried to stop him, but failed. He asked me to hide it from Zenas, not wanting her to feel a little bit guilty. Over the years, I have been I was looking for a way to heal the leader, but all failed. I thought at least the leader could still live, but looking at the current situation..." She gave me two meaningful glances as she spoke.
"Uncle Commander is kind to me. If it weren't for him, I would be a lost girl now. I want to save him." Cynthia showed a smug smile: "It just so happens that I know a certain recipe."
Almit, me, Cynthia, and Isabel who wanted to join in the fun gathered around the dining table and started a serious discussion.Gao Rui took her son home, and she promised us not to reveal our plan.
Annabeth prostrated herself in front of Almit with the pasta she had just made, and she devoured it, not caring about her image at all.Cynthia played with the coins in her hand: "Have you not eaten for a few days?"
"I've been eating bread for a week."
Annabeth gave me, Cynthia, and Isabel a cup of mocha each, and then sat next to Almit: "I've been busy with something recently, and I haven't seen you contact us."
She looked at me and made a disdainful voice: "I'm busy saving the world! It's not like a brave man who just fails once and then falls down."
I was covering my face and was distracted, but she suddenly pissed me off, and I was speechless.Cynthia rescued me and said, "Oh, it's not like my sister hasn't done anything."
Almit opened the beer and took a sip: "How do you help her talk?"
Cynthia had a helpless expression: "I am dependent on others now. What if I accidentally die of poisoning?"
An Bushang glared at Cynthia fiercely, and Cynthia lowered her head.Almit quickly settled the food and wiped his mouth: "What do you think you can do to get the leader?"
"I'll make a long story short. You have seen the current state of the leader, and his soul is almost at its limit. After all, if this curse is combined with sister's blessing, it will be invincible. My sister will definitely gain eternal life, and then it will continue. Suffering in pain. I got a book about curses about three years ago..."
"What book?" Isabel interrupted her suspiciously, and Cynthia shook her head: "If you are interested, I can borrow it from you someday, can you listen to me carefully?
There are records about how to get out of the illusion.He couldn't regain consciousness because of a nightmare haunting his soul.What we should do is to reach his illusion and defeat that demon.I know of a recipe that will allow our consciousness to blend and thus reach his spiritual world.I have most of the ingredients, now only the blood lotus is left. "
"Blood lotus? Is that the flower of the afterlife? I know, I know its whereabouts!" Almit suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
"That's good. It's not too late. We should act now."
Isabel has been silent for a long time, and she calmly hid her dissatisfaction: "Are you going to use the flower of the afterlife without the alliance reporting?"
Almit raised his head, as if he didn't understand what he was saying: "I still need permission?"
"You are not a newcomer, you know the process. The blood lotus is such an important thing that it has not been discovered for more than 100 years. Are you going to use it privately like this?"
Almit burst into a very painful laugh: "Alliance? The alliance will give us a license? I am really laughing to death. Those pigs will only send us to die, and then talk about righteousness in a serious way. They will let us use blood lotus Save the head? Stop joking! They will only guard their own hands and seek their own interests! Zenas, are you right?"
Everyone looked at me in unison.I'm just an ordinary high school student, my parents are still alive, and my life is fairly satisfactory, so I don't have to think about saving the world every day.Although I also considered the esoteric question of whether it is worthwhile to exchange 50 people for 100 people, the peony stone did not come to any results.Who's what is not worth mentioning?Who was born to sacrifice?No.I think the world would be fine without the blood lotus for 100 years, why would it be wrong to use it to save someone?
"I agree with Almit."
Isabel, who didn't get my support, was angry and annoyed: "Why are you like this? But I don't know if this matter will be successful. Cynthia, I doubt your identity very much. You can successfully bring back the person you want to see Is it?"
"Oh, if you doubt it, doubt it." Cynthia looked out the window and said softly, "I am a doctor, and I have the duty to save anyone. This is what I promised her..."
"You are so unreasonable! Well, I don't care, I want to join!"
"You little kid is really weird, why do you want to join in the fun?" Almit said contemptuously.
"You are not allowed to call me a child!"
Annabeth sighed. "That doesn't exclude me, does it?"
Well, this time our small team has been formed: me (false Zenas), the ranger Almit, a well-known black magician, and Cynthia and Isabel who are in charge of logistics.Our next goal is "the flower of the afterlife".
We ran out of time, and no one knew whether the head of the team could see the sun the next day.We're leaving tomorrow.Annabeth Packing, Cynthia and Isabel
