"Wake up!"
"Annie!"
"Annie?"
"Wake up now!"
"Annie?"
I don't know how long it took, but when Annie was sleeping soundly in a daze, she was suddenly woken up by a rushing voice and a pair of pushing hands.
"..."
(っ̯-。)
"Is it sister Clete?"
=͟͟͞͞( ヮ『=͟͟͞͞)
"What's wrong?"
(゚Д゚≡゚д゚)!?
"Are you there yet?"
!(;゚o゚)o
She slowly rubbed her eyes and woke up. She looked around and found that she was still in the carriage. However, there seemed to be a lot of people's voices coming from outside the carriage. Anne finally got excited and hurriedly got out of the cargo sack. Chiliu slid down and asked excitedly.
"ah?"
Seeing Anne cheering for joy as soon as she woke up, Clete was almost stunned.
"It's here!"
"But……"
"But……"
However, Clete quickly came back to her senses, and suddenly he hesitated a little, and looked at Anne strangely, as if she wanted to say something to Anne, but I don’t know where to start, or whether I should say it.
"??"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"What's wrong?"
(。◕◕。)
"Sister Clete, what exactly do you want to do?"
s(・「ヘ´・;)ゞ
Seeing that the other party started hesitating after shaking her awake, Anne was of course a little unhappy, and then she put her hands on her hips and asked loudly and impatiently.
"All right!"
"Is such that!"
"Brother Gus, he..."
In the end, Clete, who pursed her lips, had to tell the story about Gus abandoning the sleeping three of them somewhere along the way and leaving alone before arriving at their destination.
"He's gone!!"
And when she finished speaking, she didn't know why, but there was a trace of pity and sympathy in her eyes when she looked at Anne, as if she was worried about something for Anne?
"oh……"
(⊙o⊙*)
When she saw the other person's expression just now, Anne thought that something important happened while she was sleeping and she missed it, but she never thought that it was such a trivial thing?
"Is that so?"
(。^▽^。)
"People know it!"
(´◠◡◠ )
So, of course she just responded and said she knew.
Immediately afterwards, no matter what the other party said, she walked directly to the front guardrail of the carriage, opened the curtain, got behind the old priest who was driving the vehicle, and began to look at it with interest. He looked at the city in front and the many horse-drawn and ox-drawn carriages like them that were queuing up to pay taxes and enter the city.
"??"
Seeing Anne's reaction that was completely different from what she had imagined, and not showing any trace of the panic and uneasiness she felt when being abandoned by an adult, that abnormal behavior made Clete feel even more strange. .
"Annie..."
"Brother Gus left you alone and you weren't worried at all?"
"You have been abandoned!"
So, after thinking about it, she still had to ask carefully, and explained the terrible fact that if it were her, she would have been so panicked.
"Worry?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ
̣ˀ̣
"Why worry?"
(°ー°〃),
Anne was a little confused by the question and didn't know what the other party was trying to say.
"you!!"
At this moment, Clete was dumbfounded and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
"oh!"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Don't worry, he can't run away!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
Then, Annie, who finally came back to her senses and understood what the other party wanted to express, suddenly waved her hands, indicating that there was no need to take such trivial matters to heart.
Because, as long as she wants, she can find that stupid guy who escaped at any time!
"Correction!"
(๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ)
"I haven't been abandoned by him!"
(lll¬▽¬)
"He's not someone else's family, so how could he abandon them?"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)Cut~~
After saying that, Annie curled her lips with some disdain and looked forward again, as if she wanted to see if there was anything interesting or delicious in front of her.
Unfortunately, she soon discovered that the city in front of her didn't seem very big or lively, so there were no vendors selling things outside the city, not even juggling buskers. So, in addition to waiting in line to pay the entrance fee, Apart from the numerous pedestrians and vehicles in the city, she didn't see anything interesting.
"ah?"
"Aren't you two together? I thought..."
For a moment, Clete's expression couldn't help but become a little stunned.
After all, from the beginning, both Crete and her father thought that Annie and Gus were father and daughter or had some kind of important family relationship. Although the eldest brother Gus had always had a cold attitude and would occasionally He was also sarcastic towards Anne, but that did not affect Clete's judgment at all.
But how could she expect that now she heard Anne say such a fact that made her feel very surprised and surprised?
"!!"
"That……"
"Annie, how did you convince Brother Gus before that he didn't drive you away?"
Then, after thinking about it, taking advantage of the fact that she was still queuing up to enter the city and had nothing to do, Clete continued to eat and asked curiously.
If possible, of course Clete would like to follow Brother Gus, the demon-slaying warrior like Annie, and witness his feats again and again!
But she knew that with Gus's temperament, he would definitely not allow it easily, so of course she was very envious of Anne who could travel with Gus before.
"??"
く(^_・)ゝ
"He seems to be always in a hurry..."
(*¯ㅿ¯*;)
Anne didn't hide anything, she directly told a certain fact openly and openly.
"It's just that he can't beat others, so he has to acquiesce that others follow him!"
(゜▽^*)
"What, are you surprised?"
Hahahaꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)
After saying that, Annie laughed regardless, with a proud expression on her face.
And the thing is exactly as she said. After she gave the other party the Holy Seal and decided to confirm her point of view, the other party has always held an attitude of opposition and resistance, and also tried to attack her. , but unfortunately, after realizing that no matter what he did, it was all in vain, and could not hurt her at all, and could not drive her away, the other party had to acquiesce to the fact that she was following him.
Naturally, although the other party acquiesces, they will also make some small moves from time to time.
"..."
(„ಡಡ„)
Just like this time!
The other party actually naively thought that she could take advantage of Queen Anne's sleep
If you can just run away and get rid of her when you feel the opportunity, you are really too naive. Soon, Anne will use ruthless facts to prove that the other party's little thoughts and tricks are just too naive. It's really nothing more than wishful thinking.
"ah?"
"Brother Gus can't beat you?!"
Hearing this, Clete was surprised!
Immediately afterwards, she first looked at Annie's body, then thought about the tall and mighty figure of Brother Gus and the terrifying dragon-slaying sword that could completely crush Annie with just one move, and then she finally endured it. I couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Annie!"
"You really know how to joke!"
There is no doubt that Clete obviously did not take Annie's words seriously, but just regarded them as the kind of big words that children like to say.
"hehe….."
Likewise, the old priest, who was driving the carriage slowly in the driving seat in front, was also amused by Anne's words and laughed.
"If you don't believe it, forget it!"
(ʃƪ˘³˘)
"Anyway, I'm much better than that idiot uncle!"
₍₍(̨̡‾ᗣ‾)̧̢₎₎
That's right!
In fact, if Annie hadn't planned to follow the two of them into the city for a walk and see what fun or delicious food there was in the city, she might have appeared in a flash in front of the person who wanted to escape from her control. The strange man came forward and humiliated the other party severely.
even……
She might even give him a good beating, such as asking Tibbs to give him a good beating and then heal him, and then give him another good beating or something.
(…)
(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"Annie, you are the best!"
After responding perfunctorily at first, Clete ignored Anne's angry expression and quickly changed the subject and continued to ask.
"correct!"
"Do you have any idea where Brother Gus went?"
Compared to listening to Anne's "bragging" words, Claire was obviously more willing to inquire about the specific whereabouts of Brother Gus.
"have no idea!"
o(´^「)o
"but……"
(*ꈍ꒙ꈍ*)
"He will definitely do something, such as looking for the lurking demon?"
(¬◡¬)✧
"So, we just need to wait in the city. He will definitely show up on his own initiative!"
(。^▽^。)
Anne knew that all Gus could think about was revenge, and that he wanted to find the Hand of God to settle accounts. If he wanted to find those guys, he had to ask questions from the mouths of those powerful demons.
Unfortunately, there is a non-human being occupying this city.
Therefore, Annie was very sure that before finding and eliminating that guy, the strange uncle Gus would definitely not leave this small city easily!
Therefore, she is not in a hurry at all. She can continue to play with herself and then wait for the other party to come out. If she wants to find the other party, she can simply scan it with her spiritual consciousness or simply ask Tibur Stelao or something.
(…)
(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
"ah!"
"That's right, I almost forgot!"
"Brother Gus did say that!"
Hearing what Annie said, and thinking of something significant and meaningful that Brother Nagus was going to do, Clete gradually calmed down, breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a relaxed smile.
"..."
(lll¬▽¬)
Seeing this, Annie gave the other party a contemptuous roll of her eyes.
She has already seen that the Miss Crete in front of her,
He seems to really like that stupid weird uncle Gus?
only……
What she can't figure out is: that weird uncle Gus is obviously crippled, blind, stupid, useless, has a bad temper, and stinks all over, and he doesn't know how to make girls happy, but why does he choose this Clay? Miss Te fell in love with the guy just after meeting him once, and she kept getting closer to that guy from the beginning?
Anyway, Queen Anne was thinking about it all over the place. Even if she was thinking about it with her feet, she still couldn't figure out what girls could expect from that good-for-nothing guy.
(…)
(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
"correct!"
"And one more thing!"
Before Anne could calm down for a while, Clete exclaimed in surprise again, then once again grabbed the skirt of Anne's skirt and asked nervously:
"Annie..."
"Brother Gus said it before, he said..."
"If I want to know how to obtain the Holy Light, it would be more appropriate to ask you."
"do you know?"
Yes, in addition to being concerned about Gus's whereabouts, Clete is also very concerned about this matter now.
After all, Crete and her priest father have decided to believe in the Holy Light and the God of Holy Light together. Therefore, if possible, she also hopes that she can have that kind of magical power like Brother Gus. To help others and expel evil along the way, let yourself become a girl of holy light or an angel of God or something.
And since the big brother Gus refused to give guidance and ran away, she could only place her hope on Annie in front of her, and hoped that she could really learn some important information about the Holy Light from Annie.
"Holy light?"
=͟͟͞͞(꒪⌓꒪*)
"Um……"
(′~ ●)
After hearing such a thing, Anne couldn't help showing a slightly embarrassed expression.
Although Gus is right, the other party's Holy Seal was indeed given by her, and if Miss Crete in front of me wants to obtain the Holy Light, coming to her is indeed the best choice in the world. none of them!
but!
Now she is confirming a certain point of view on that idiot Gus, so before the result that proves that she is right comes out, she does not want to give the same thing to others easily and affect the person who has not yet obtained it. the final conclusion.
"Annie?"
"Is there anything you can do?"
"I beg you!"
Seeing the tangled and hesitant expression on Anne's face, Clete was startled. Then after seeing some clues, not only was she not disappointed, but she opened her mouth again and begged Anne with a face full of expectation and prayer. And showed a pitiful expression.
"..."
(¬д¬.)
"All right!"
=(´『*)))Alas
Seeing the hopeful look and nervousness on his face, Anne had no choice but to reluctantly speak and guided:
"Since you were all revived by that idiot Uncle Gus, you should still have a lot of Holy Light remnants in your body, so..."
(ಠ~ಠ)
"If you can insist on praying to the Holy Light every day and be pious enough in the next period of time, you will still have a great chance!"
(๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ)
Anne was not talking nonsense, things were exactly as she described, and there was indeed a high chance that Crete and the old priest driving the car were in front of her.
"ah?"
"pray?"
"Religious enough?"
"Is it really that simple?"
Originally, Clete thought there would be some very difficult and harsh conditions, but she never thought that it was just a few simple sentences?
"Of course!"
(O^~^O)
"The Holy Light is not only a form of faith that spans races, worlds, life and death but is invisible, it is also a spiritual power that becomes purer with the user's piety!"
(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
"As long as you think you can do it, you can definitely do it, so you must work hard!"
(。•̀ᴗ-)
Although Anne didn't want to say too much about that kind of thing, she still managed to explain it like this.
Although that thing is easy to say, it is difficult to do. After all, it involves spirit and will, and Annie has never been a good teacher. So, if you don’t want to give the two people the Holy Seal directly, , besides cheering for the other party, there really isn’t much she can do.
However, given that the two of them will have the remnants of the Holy Light in their bodies for a long time in the future, Anne feels that the chances of the two of them are still great, but it is unlikely that they will have it from the beginning like that weird uncle Gus. The Holy Seal can only be used freely.
But given that the two of them have powerful holy light seeds in their bodies, as long as they are not too stupid, they will still achieve a lot in the future.
"All right!"
"I'll try my best!"
"must!!"
Crete, who felt that what Anne said made sense, thought about it for a moment, then nodded seriously with a straight face, saying that she would definitely pray to the Holy Light every day according to Anne's instructions, and promised to be the most pious!
"It's our turn!"
"Everyone sit tight!"
"We have to get in quickly!"
At this time, before Clete could ask any more questions, the old priest who was driving cheered, then turned his head to let the two of them sit down, then hurriedly shook the reins and let the vehicle drive slowly towards the city gate.
Since the driver was a priest, the soldiers did not dare to collect the city entry tax. They just opened the curtain at the rear of the car and took a symbolic look into the car. They found that there were only two children, Anne and Clete. After collecting a few sacks, the girl waved her hand for the vehicle to enter the city.
soon!
The carriage arrived at a large square in Wengcheng, and then the three of them saw the execution platform set up not far away.
At this time, several executioners were cleaning wooden boards, guillotines, and axes with buckets. Behind them, there were several bloody headless corpses hanging on the wooden racks.
"!!"
"ah!!"
Seeing those pale and bare-chested necks with bloody stubbles exposed, and looking at the corpses that were clearly that of young girls or young women, Clete in the car was startled and shrank back with a cry of surprise. He went back and closed the car curtain.
"..."
(ー「´ー)
Anne, who also saw it, couldn't help but frown, but she didn't do anything more. She just curled her lips and retreated into the carriage a little boredly.
"Excuse me……"
"That is how the matter?"
The old priest driving the car obviously saw it too, so without thinking, he stopped the carriage and called to a passerby who was passing by. ..
"!!"
"you……"
"Those are the cultists executed by the Inquisition Committee..."
"You, you'd better go find someone else and ask!"
Seeing the old priest's costume, the citizen first showed a fearful expression, and then, after stammering a few words, he turned around and ran away quickly, as if the old priest was some kind of terrible man-eating demon.
Likewise, when the surrounding citizens saw the old priest's attire, they all showed expressions of fear or secrecy, and subconsciously stayed away from the old priest and his carriage.
"..."
In silence, the old priest nodded and sat down in the driver's seat again and did not say a word for a long time.
"Father!"
"how was it?"
Claire obviously heard it too, and then she stuck her head out and asked worriedly.
"Well……"
"The situation may be worse than we imagined..."
"That's it!"
"Let's find a hotel to stay in first!"
After saying that, the old priest, who was feeling a little emotional, glanced in the direction of the execution platform again, then shook the reins, and then continued to drive Anne and Clete slowly along the wet, dirty and smelly stone avenue. Heading towards a certain area in the city.
