Extras Dark Legends - Gathering and Dispersing, Promise
Demon Alliance, Trafal Empire, in the mountains two hundred miles away from the capital.
After more than ten days of hard work, Bai Yun finally impressed Crow with his infinite "sincerity" and asked Crow to "willingly" accompany him somewhere. Bai Yun said that since he has become a trainee friend, Crow has
I have to accompany him for half a month. Otherwise, he will be pestering crows to the ends of the earth...
Regardless of whether the half-month promise is guaranteed or not, Baiyun has to grasp what is in front of him.
At the same time, the two of them had a tacit understanding to avoid the hustle and bustle along the way, and chose to walk on difficult paths.
While traveling in the beautiful valley, Baiyun was obviously more interested than the crow. He used extremely vivid language to introduce the plants and trees around him to the crow, trying to make this journey full of fun.
As for Crow! He keeps his mouth closed most of the time and never smiles. If he takes the initiative to speak, someone must have looked at his face for too long.
"Don't look at me like this." Crow usually warns Baiyun like this: "Otherwise you will pay the price."
"Really? I understand." Usually, Bai Yun would hand over a copper coin with saliva on his face: "I am a poor man, please give me a discount for the sake of my friends, please accept this price!"
"Where are you going?" Crow has no way to deal with such a peerless bitch. Although he is a killer, it is not easy to kill this person. The most important point is that Crow is facing this person.
At that time, I couldn't even think of the slightest murderous intention in my heart: "What are you doing there?"
"Me! I'm going to pick up a little sister!" Bai Yun showed a gentle smile. Compared with his usual expression of sincerity and a bit of sophistication, this kind of Bai Yun made people want to get close to him involuntarily: "That's
I owe her sister so much for my promise..."
Crow watched Bai Yun's face gradually darken, and finally became sad. He felt that his emotions were also changing, and he couldn't help but be curious and confused. Could such a person still have past events that made him sad?
"Tell me this and I will consider whether to go with you." Crow asked calmly.
Along the way, he had experienced enough of Bai Yun's tricks. Although it would upset him to start a fight, at least he could avoid Bai Yun's strange eyes for the time being. He had even thought about how to bargain with Bai Yun.
Bai Yun turned away slightly, as if he was really recalling some sad past events. Just when Crow was glad that he had chosen the right topic, Bai Yun spoke in a tone that was mixed with sadness.
"Actually, you should know this! I'm full of problems, and I also know that your first impression of me was not very good." Bai Yun looked at the ground with his eyes: "But in the past, I had more problems.
, offending people everywhere... I finally received my retribution half a year ago."
Crow didn't interrupt and listened quietly.
"...Under such circumstances, a grown man who could not move gradually recovered under the care of a weak woman. Of course, the woman had to put in a lot of effort." Bai Yun continued, not caring at all what Crow would think.
: "And what is her profession? The lowest prostitute. She only earns less than five copper coins to accompany a man... but she has to use such a meager income to pay expensive fees..."
"...I was able to act now. I wanted to persuade her to change her career, but I didn't have the chance to tell her. Just when I was preparing dinner that night, she was tortured to death and finally died in my arms..."
Bai Yun looked up at the sky, holding back the tears in his eyes: "I feel guilty about her!"
The crow was silent, his expression unchanged.
"At the last moment of her life, she entrusted her sister to me. This is the only thing I can do for her. If I can't even do this little thing, then I don't have to live and waste food." Bai Yunshen
He reached out and touched the cheap necklace around his neck: "Her heart is so kind, and she hopes that her sister will have a good background and live a happy life in the future..."
"But do you know? For my sister to live in the Demon Palace for a year, she has to hand over fifty silver coins. And for hosting a man, she can only get three or five copper coins... For her sister... she can do something
Such a huge sacrifice..." Bai Yun's voice choked with sobs: "The Demon Palace, and the Demon Palace...this is how it cares for its people..."
"What are you going to do after you pick her up?" Crow's eyes didn't show anything, but he asked Baiyun softly: "It's useless to recall the past, just forget it."
"I can't forget, I can't forget that dilapidated house, and I can't forget every furnishing there." Bai Yun shook his head: "I want to give her the best life, the most noble, and the happiest life..."
"What's her name? That little sister."
"My sister's name is Tanni, my sister's name is Qin Lun, my sister is about to turn seven this year, and her birthday will be in one month..."
"If you don't want to regret it, speed up." Crow Crow rarely scolded Bai Yun: "You idiot!"
"Why are you scolding me..." Bai Yun was stunned for a moment, but the crow had already rushed far away. Bai Yun hurriedly caught up: "What's going on!"
"Do you know what life is like in the monastery? For a seven-year-old girl, staying one more day is cruel!" Crow seemed to be very disgusted with religion: "I can't tell that you are usually naughty, but at the critical moment you are stupider than a pig!"
"Ming, I understand!" Bai Yun pinched the horse's belly and said, "Come on!"
The trail was difficult to travel, and after forty miles, the two horses fell down one after another from exhaustion. Crow and Baiyun threw away their cumbersome things, jumped up into the tree, and flew away. Because both of them had strong physical strength and did not have to be restricted by the road.
, at sunset, we had arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Demon Palace was located.
"Stop - rest for an hour." Crow froze: "It's dinner time now, we'd better go in during the evening prayers."
"Okay - okay..." Bai Yun was so exhausted after running for dozens of miles that he was out of breath: "You - you know a lot about the Demon Palace..."
"Do you think I am you?" Crow said angrily: "As a demon but you don't even know the daily routine of the demon palace, you are really lucky to live so long."
"You're not bad either. Where are your white night clothes..." Bai Yun finally regained his breath and rested against a tree: "I can only admire you."
The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time - but Crow immediately returned to his indifferent expression, because the moment he smiled, Bai Yun's eyes became sad again.
Time was slowly passing by, and the sky was already dark, but the bell for evening prayers in the Demon Palace still did not ring. Bai Yun fiddled with the necklace with his fingers, looking a little anxious.
"It's almost done." Crow moved his body, dropped the package on the ground, and hung the sword on his waist. At this moment, the bell for evening prayer rang in the Demon Temple.
"You go ahead, and I'll follow." Wu Wu didn't know Baiyun's background, so he kept telling him: "Please don't get angry when asking questions with nice words. You are here to pick someone up, so you must first determine the target.
.”
"Okay." Bai Yun was happy to pretend to be a rookie.
"The other party is a priest, and your identity as a magician is completely useless..." Crow walked in front, explaining some things that need to be paid attention to, and finally said: "By the way, when facing those priests, you might as well pretend to be obscene.
.”
"I'm a good person, I won't pretend to be obscene! What should I do?"
"If you can't pretend, just die."
Crow didn't talk nonsense, and Bai Yun shrugged and followed indifferently. After a while, the two of them turned onto the winding bluestone road, and the tall wall of the Demon Palace appeared in their sight, an iron
The gate of the fence is covered with gold, which looks very majestic and solemn.
Bai Yun quickened his pace, passed the crow at a corner, and walked to the door. Then he calmly stretched out his hand under the gazes of several guards and gently clicked the door knocker.
A guard came over and asked in a stern tone: "Who are you? What are you doing in the monastery so late?"
"I come from the Capital Demon Palace." Baiyun replied in a calm tone: "I have something to see the chief priest."
"It's late. The priest doesn't see the guests." The guard looked at Bai Yun with suspicion. He would not believe that this man with neither carriage nor entourage came from the Demon Palace in the capital.
"You'd better report it, otherwise your monastery's certificate of atonement this year will be in vain." Baiyun's tone became cold: "I'm afraid you can't afford a small watchdog."
"Excuse me, please wait a moment. I will answer you right away." After hearing what the other party said, the guard's body trembled, and his tone immediately changed. He first turned around to explain to the others, and then trotted to the building in the yard.
Very big building.
And Baiyun - forget it, let's call him Cohen. Of course Cohen didn't know what a "certificate of atonement" was, but the crow taught him this, so he just said it. Unexpectedly, it really worked.
It seemed that the atonement certificate was really useful. After a while, a priest who seemed to have a high status followed the guard and welcomed Cohen in very respectfully.
"I hope Shangguan will not blame the guard for his impoliteness. These are extraordinary times." The priest's face was full of smiles: "The chief priest is waiting for you in the lobby! Please go this way."
Cohen nodded slightly, walked behind the priest, walked through the long passage in the courtyard, and entered the lobby decorated with huge floor-to-ceiling windows. There were neat rows of seats in the lobby, and hundreds of magic lights illuminated the surroundings.
"Welcome to the faithful from the capital. I am the chief priest here." A short and fat priest came up quickly and showed a professional and appropriate enthusiasm to Cohen: "My friend, what kind of wind has brought you to this lonely place?
In the monastery?”
"That's where the responsibility lies." Cohen took out a emblem that the crow gave him, waved it in front of the other person's eyes, and answered in a flat, business-like tone: "Priest, please show me your preaching and inspiration over the past year.
Records, I want to check."
"It turns out to be the patrolling priest of the Hell Island Demon Temple - Your Excellency! Please forgive me for being rude again!" The priest in charge bent down and saluted, and even took Cohen's left hand to his mouth and kissed it. This series of actions made Cohen agitated.
I felt nauseated and almost kicked the priest out.
"Why don't you quickly prepare the classics for your inspection? Take them all to my room!" The priest in charge turned around and ordered his subordinates: "Please go this way, sir. Please go ahead."
Sitting in the room of the chief priest, Cohen felt a headache as he looked at the various classics and records piled up in front of him. Those things were all written in the special characters of the Demon Temple. How could he understand them?
However, as an emperor, he knew very well what was going on in the officialdom. His indifferent eyes glanced over the books and finally rested on the face of the chief priest.
"There are a lot of records. How long do you want me to look at them?" Cohen put the catalog in his hand on the table and looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling: "Didn't anyone tell you? It's better to be more modest and cautious when dealing with the patrolling priests."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely comply with your request."
"I want to know the true record." A strange smile appeared on the corner of Cohen's mouth: "Real, do you understand?"
"These records are all true..." The priest in charge wanted to defend himself, but was frightened by Cohen's changed smile. He didn't know what Cohen was thinking.
"Ordinarily, I shouldn't pay so much attention to a small monastery." Cohen stood up and walked to the window to stand, with his hands behind his back. There was a vague sense of majesty in his tall back: "You are right, this is a broken place.
, then just cancel it... It would be good to build a villa here."
"Sir, please be merciful! I didn't mean to deceive you, but not long after I came here to take charge, the previous priest neglected to control the affairs, which caused chaos in the teaching affairs and the loss of classics. This has nothing to do with me. Please tell me clearly!" In the fright,
The priest in charge opened his mouth and spoke a long series of begging for mercy and excuses, speaking extremely fluently.
"Be quiet and maintain your grace as the chief priest." Cohen didn't even turn around, but snorted coldly: "Who has time to take care of your nonsense?"
"Then my lord wants to...this place is relatively remote, and there is not much left over from the annual tribute..."
"That little tribute money will be left for you to take care of in your old age." Cohen couldn't help but feel angry, but he had to continue to guide this idiot priest: "Although it is only a small monastery, the chief priest needs to be replaced by a smart person."
"Please make it clear, sir. As long as I can do anything, I will do it." The priest in charge begged with a bitter look on his face: "This villain's loyalty to the Demon Palace is as evident as the sun and the moon..."
"It's good that you still know how to be loyal." Cohen had scolded his eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart, but he still wanted to maintain his dignity: "This is a small monastery. It doesn't matter what you want. Why do you think I came here?"
?There are a lot of things I can’t say as a patrolling priest... After all, I still have a superior, and the final number of atonement certificates is not something I can say.”
This sentence was taught by the crow, and Cohen didn't quite understand why...According to his idea, maybe this monastery has something special to produce. After casually knocking him off, he also asked for Qinlun.
Let's go. This way, it will be smooth and will not make them suspicious.
"I understand, little one." The chief priest's face was overjoyed, and his tone was filled with excitement as if something big had been decided. He walked to the bookcase next to him and opened a secret door: "Sir, please follow me here."
Cohen followed him through a narrow passage and came to an underground secret room.
The priest in charge opened the door and said flatteringly: "It's rare for you to have such a need. Our monastery is not famous, and we don't produce many finished products every year... Fortunately, you came at the right time, and you still have a choice."
The heavy door opened. Although Cohen's expression did not change, a surge of anger arose in his heart - and at the same time he understood why Crow warned him to stay calm no matter what the situation.
"Sir, please see, this little girl is ready. She is ten years old this year." The priest in charge pointed to a little girl with a delicate face who was sitting obediently on a chair and said: "The breasts have been stopped with medicine, and the voice has also improved.
After taking care of it, if you change into men's clothes and take it with you, it will definitely not cause any trouble - she is a virgin."
Cohen hardened his heart and forced himself to nod: "Not bad."
"This one is even better. It was originally prepared for a high priest, but if the adults like it, that's a different matter." Someone who didn't know that he was about to die was still trying to please Cohen: "Nine years old, his skin is extremely well maintained.
, those eyes seemed to be able to talk... We used a full set of techniques, and the effect was very good. They are very well-behaved and will never cry casually, and the spells are also simple..."
With blood dripping from his heart, Cohen looked over one by one and identified them one by one, but he couldn't find any girl who looked similar to Tanni.
"Is this all the same? It hasn't changed, right?" Cohen turned around and asked.
"No, they are all their true colors, and they are only one of a hundred...Do you like any of them, sir?"
"Not yet." Cohen was confused and didn't know what to do for a moment: "I'll look at it again."
Just as he was about to take a step, Cohen felt that he had kicked something. He looked down and saw a thin body shrinking into the shadows in the corner. It was vaguely possible to tell that it was a child.
"You are seeking death!" The priest in charge rushed up, took off a leather whip hanging on the wall, and chopped it down without thinking: "You little bitch, if you let the adults wrestle, you will die ten times and it won't be enough to atone for your sins."
!”
The child's trembling body huddled in the shadow, protecting his head with his extremely thin hands, and made several "ahhhh" sounds from his mouth, which sounded like crying or begging for mercy.
"Stop..." Cohen glanced casually, but the little metal reflection on the child's neck almost made his heart stop beating: "Get away!"
Under the doubtful eyes of the presiding priest, Cohen knelt down and carefully picked up the child, as if holding a rare treasure.
Of course, the priest standing behind Cohen couldn't see Cohen's eyes. In his mind, this patrolling priest, like the priests in the Demon Temple in the capital, came here to select tools for him to vent his desires. He would like it.
This skinny little girl just has weird hobbies.
"Sir, you have such good eyesight! This little girl is not yet seven years old and has not experienced much in the world. She is truly the best... Look, her loving eyes are so heartbreaking..." Since this is the hobby of the patrolling priest,
Of course, you must affirm loudly. The chief priest believes that this is the duty of a subordinate.
"What's her name?" A cold voice sounded.
"Her name...should be Qin Lun! I'm not sure. You know I just came here not long ago."
"Tell me, brother." This voice was as gentle as the spring breeze: "Your name is Qin Lun? Is that right?"
The little girl stared in fear, her lips were trembling, her thin face was pale, and she didn't answer.
"Answer your words, sir! If you don't answer, you will be thrown to the dogs!"
The little girl's body trembled, and she spoke a string of clearly articulated words with a distinct rhythm. However, Cohen could not understand a single word of this priestly language.
"Crow!" Cohen shouted, suppressing the anxiety in his heart.
"Have you found it?" A crow dressed in white appeared at the door: "Then let's go!"
"What is she talking about? What is she talking about!"
"It's her lifelong vow." The crow listened and said in words that Cohen could understand: "I am the devil's maid, and my wealth belongs to the devil. I am the devil's maid, and my chastity belongs to the devil. I
I am the slave of the devil, and my freedom belongs to the devil. The dark devil, the lord of heaven and earth. All life, glory, and power come from you and belong to you; I offer everything at your feet. This is your gift. Regardless of blessings
Or disaster, I am willing to accept it from your hands. Lord of Darkness, Lord of Heaven and Earth. All life, glory, and power come from you and belong to you..."
"Baby, don't talk about this." Cohen showed the kindest smile: "Say something else, your name is Qin Lun, right?"
The little girl opened her mouth, still repeating the vow she just made.
"Look, look at this." Cohen took off the necklace around his neck: "You have a sister! You have a sister! Do you remember the sister named Tanni?"
The little girl's horrified eyes gradually focused on the necklace in Cohen's hand, and two crystal tears welled up in her eyes, flowed over her stained face, and fell to the ground.
Her mouth was slightly open with difficulty. Judging from the shape of her mouth, it seemed that she was trying her best to say "sister", but in the end, what she said was still the vow...
"Please, say something else, say something else." The anger in Cohen's heart was tangled, and his body was shaking slightly uncontrollably: "Even if it's just a scream, even a cry... How can I follow
Your sister explained..."
"Is this Tanni's sister?" Crow asked in a cold tone at the door: "Is this the sister that Tanni supports with gold coins and hopes to be happy in the future?"
Cohen nodded silently. Then, Cohen and Crow focused their eyes on the chief priest, who was already too frightened to speak. He was tugging on a string in his hand. From just now, he had been
Pulling.
Chaotic footsteps could be heard from the passage leading to this room.
"Don't force her to talk anymore, she can't." Crow stroked the hilt of the sword and whispered to Cohen, his eyes became a little strange: "Except for that bullshit oath, she can't say anything, can't say anything...
Everyone here is mine, everything is mine..."
As he spoke, Crow's eyes turned cold, he drew out his long sword and flew towards the guard who was approaching him.
"Don't be afraid, baby, everything is over, it's all over. Listen to my brother read a poem to you." Cohen picked up Qin Lun with tears in his arms and stood against the wall, preventing Qin Lun from seeing the bloody rain spraying everywhere in the room.
It chants a poem I heard from Bai Ying before: "The earth and the blue sky will always be boundless and dependent on each other, the sun, the moon and the stars will always be silent..."
The white figure of the crow was flying in the room. In Cohen's memory, it was the first time that he roared while killing someone.
"...The majestic hills, the rushing torrents, the tall trees, and the soft grass are all the blessings of nature." Cohen walked in the passage holding Qin Lun, who could only be described as skinny and bones, and was very careful.
He stroked her head with his hand to prevent the blood sprayed around her from entering her frightened eyes. At the same time, he chanted dragon poems in her ears in a gentle tone, poems that Bai Ying wanted him to remember: "We must...
Treat all of this with reverence and humility. Every day we live in the world, we remember the blessings of nature and strive to integrate into it..."
The crow flew through the small space, so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to catch up. His white shadow was all over the passage. Dozens of guards coming from various entrances were disturbed by him without even understanding the situation in front of them.
into powder.
When Cohen pushed open an iron door and stepped onto the steps leading to the ground, the figure of the crow flew out from above him again, and in the blink of an eye there were not many guards left in the yard.
I don’t know what made the crow angry, but no one under his command could escape. Cohen had just taken a few steps when the last guard fell. In the night wind, the flying figure of the crow stopped without warning and lowered his head.
Close your eyes and stand with your sword in hand.
"Although I don't want to admit it, you are really handsome when you are angry." Cohen walked to him and stopped: "I want you to do something, help me get those children here."
"Why are you instructing me?" Crow didn't raise his head and replied in a low voice to Cohen: "You useless person who has done nothing."
"From now on, I will not let Qin Lun out of my sight." Cohen did not turn his head: "That's it, there is no other reason."
The crow gave a dissatisfied "hum" and seemed a little reluctant, but it still swayed and flew back to the passage backwards. The next moment, it had placed the two little girls at Cohen's feet.
"There are seven in total, and they are all here." After rescuing the little girls, Crow's voice became colder.
"What else is there in this monastery?" Cohen looked at the crow: "What makes you angrier?"
"Next to that room..." Crow's face tightened: "You don't want to know."
"They should have sounded the alarm, and we should leave." Cohen looked at the flames burning on the roof of the monastery: "White shadow!"
The white bird-like figure flapped its wings and flew to Cohen.
"Send these children back to the camp, and we'll meet at the passage." After instructing Bai Ying, Cohen looked at the crow again: "If you have nothing else, can you come with me?"
Crow's anger came quickly, and he calmed down just as quickly. At this moment, he was completely calm and looked back at Cohen, mentally surprised by the change in this "trainee friend".
After picking up the little girl, the original playful and smiling expression disappeared, replaced by an expression he had never seen before.
What kind of look is that... Is it majestic? Is it indifferent? Is it sharp? Is it firm? It seems to be a mixture of these, and it seems to be nothing at all.
But one thing Crow can be sure of is that his trainee friend has revealed his true colors, or in other words, he is revealing his true colors bit by bit.
"Have you finished reading?" Cohen urged: "We don't have much time. You should take your time before leaving here."
The crow was silent and nodded after a moment.
"Bai Ying, burn this place down." Cohen walked outside: "If you had the ability, I wouldn't blame you if you flattened this mountain."
"That doesn't match the poem you're reading." Crow walked behind and pointed out the fault unceremoniously: "Don't say that in front of the children."
"Sorry, my baby." Cohen kissed Qin Lun's face, then turned to smile at the crow: "Thank you for reminding me."
Crow was stunned. Cohen's smile was very sincere, and it was completely different from those "sincere smiles" before. Crow almost wanted to respond with a smile. Although he stopped himself at that moment with the calmness of a killer, he felt in his heart
Feeling a little guilty.
Walking on the passage down the mountain, Qin Lun's body was still shaking, and his two little hands were tightly protecting his head. He didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Cohen or Crow. Cohen was so heartbroken that he later found a creek.
, wash Qin Lun’s hands and face.
"Don't be afraid, little baby. Brother will wash your hands for you. After you wash them, brother will give you something to eat! Brother, there are bacon, sausages, small white bread, and candies here..."
Qin Lun stared blankly at Cohen washing his hands and face without even the slightest reaction.
"Crow, what's wrong with Qin Lun?" Cohen looked at Qin Lun's sunken face, thinking of the torture she might have suffered in the past, and felt that his heart was about to break.
"She is only seven years old and cannot adapt to the change in the environment." Crow sat on a big rock by the stream: "She has been living in that place, and you suddenly appeared and were so nice to her, how could she adapt immediately?"
"What should we do?"
"Don't ask me, I am a killer. I can only give people death and not take care of them." Crow said expressionlessly: "I only know one thing, if you want to make her happy, you have to be patient."
.”
"Although you have been acting cool, I know that you are not a dead end in your heart." Cohen wiped the stains on Qinlun's face with a small piece of cloth, and said with a smile: "Besides, I don't like you at all now.
At such a warm moment, why do you have to wear a cold face? Wouldn't it be nice for us to sing and read poems with Xiao Qinlun? "
"If you still want to continue being a trainee friend, don't try to discuss this topic." Crow stood up and said, "We will have guests coming. You take Qin Lun to the front, and I will send away the guests."
"Don't be so anxious! It's not a piece of cake for you to deal with them anyway. How can such a dazzling combination like us be intimidated by these little miscellaneous fish?" Cohen carefully washed Qin Lun's hands: "Our little princess can't do it anymore.
Dirty, we want to be pretty, right Qin Lun?"
"I should have understood earlier that people like you can't be serious for long."
"This is my true side." Cohen laughed and held Qinlun on the stone: "I am an ordinary person. I can't satisfy anyone. I can satisfy a certain group of people at a certain moment.
, this already requires a lot of effort. But now, I have to satisfy our little princess first - Dangdang! The sumptuous supper is here!"
When the fragrant bacon was placed in front of Qin Lun, Qin Lun's immediate reaction was to shrink back and stay away from these things.
"Baby, eat a little. Eating more will make you healthy..." Cohen wanted to say something else, but Qinlun kept shrinking back, always shrouded in fear.
"Do you think a child who is so thin would have the opportunity to eat bacon?" Crow sneered at Cohen's slow reaction: "Having been in such an environment, of course she is afraid of strange things. Maybe she will
She will also think that you have to show her what you want to do to her."
"You're right...it seems you know children better than I do." Cohen patted his head: "How about you come and eat with her? I'll hold your sword and help you stand."
"Do you think I'd be a good fit? A killer coaxing a little girl to eat bacon?"
"To other people, you are a killer, but to me, you are my friend." Cohen sat down with a smile and held Qin Lun in his arms: "To our little princess, you are my friend."
He's the big brother who rescued her from the monastery. Come over here! Do you dislike us for standing so far away?"
"I don't dislike you." Crow stood closer and said, "I'm just a little disappointed with your performance."
"I'm very happy that you have expectations for my performance... Please, I've never done anything like this before, you have to give me time to learn." Cohen stared at Crow: "Stop standing! Sit down!"
"
"Come on, let's start eating the meat. This meat is very fragrant!" Cohen took out a knife, cut the bacon into small pieces, handed them to Crow and Qin Lun respectively, and put a piece into his mouth to show Qin Lun.
Qin Lun looked at Cohen eating with an expressionless face, keeping his hand holding the bacon without any reaction, which was in vain for Cohen's expression of enjoyment.
"Eat! My little darling, my brother will take you to eat other more delicious things tomorrow..." Cohen kept talking until his mouth was dry, and then Qin Lun cautiously put a small piece of meat into his mouth.
"Chew, chew a little and try." Both Cohen and Crow breathed a sigh of relief, and Cohen immediately chewed it for her to see.
Maybe Qin Lun was really hungry. She chewed tentatively first, and then stuffed a large handful of meat slices into her mouth!
"Slow down, slow down - my princess, you will choke." Cohen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took the water bag handed by the crow and poured some water for Qin Lun: "Eat slowly, we have a lot, slow down.
!”
Qin Lun ate with big mouthfuls. Although her eyes were freed from fear, they were not very spiritual. She just stared at Cohen, for fear that he would take away her food... With such an eating appearance, coupled with such eyes, it was not so much that she
He is a hungry man, rather a hungry wolf.
"I don't think I can feed her any more, I'm afraid she'll burst." Cohen said to the crow with a wry smile.
"It's easy to understand. The monastery will not let her eat enough." Crow shook his head: "She can survive in such an environment, which is already amazing."
"Look at her." Cohen stood up: "I'll leave for a moment."
"Why go?"
"Find something to distract her and help her wipe her mouth."
Cohen jumped into the nearby woods and soon caught a clumsy little plush rabbit and a bird with beautiful feathers. It was midnight, but luckily he still had such good eyesight.
"Little princess, I'm back!" Cohen came back, put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile on his face: "I also brought a gift back - Dangdang! A beautiful rabbit and a good little bird!"
Seeing the cute little animals, Qin Lun finally got rid of her hunger. Her eyes were shining, she screamed "ah" and kept shaking her two little hands.
Cohen put the rabbit and bird in her hands with a smile, and got what she liked. Qin Lun finally had a smile on her face. She gently stroked the plush rabbit, then put the rabbit on her lap, and then
I held the little bird in my hand and watched it endlessly. Finally, I peeled off some shredded meat from the bacon and put it next to the little bird's mouth...
"Baby, the bird won't eat this..." Cohen opened his palm, revealing a few small flying insects: "Feed it with this."
Carefully taking the bug from Cohen's hand, Qin Lun's eyes were a little grateful, and he was no longer so afraid of Cohen. Looking at the smile on Qin Lun's face, the crow's expression became very peaceful.
"Like her sister, no matter how tragic her experience is, her heart is still so kind." Cohen whispered: "No matter how difficult it is, I want the smile on her face to stay forever..."
With a sound of "Boom...", two crossbow arrows were shot towards this side. The crow stretched out his hand like lightning, grabbed the two crossbow arrows in his palm, turned his wrist again, and threw the crossbow arrows back - there was an immediate sound in the bushes
Two screams!
Little Qinlun's body shook violently at the wailing sound, her dull eyes were full of fear, she cried "Ah" and threw herself into Cohen's arms. She held the little rabbit with one hand and hugged her tightly with the other.
Cohen's neck and body began to tremble again.
"For her smile, you have to work hard." After saying this, the crow flew upwards, its strong figure folded in the air, and slid into the woods on the other side of the stream. Where he landed, there was another miserable cry.
wailing.
"Don't be afraid, little baby. With your brother protecting you, those dirty and ugly things will never be able to get close to you." Cohen stretched out his hand to catch the frightened bird, then picked up Qin Lun and put the bird in her hand: "
You must also have the courage to protect the birds and rabbits, they are so scared."
Qin Lun opened his eyes and looked at Cohen. Although there were still tears on his face, he nodded firmly.
"Okay Qinlun, let's go! No matter where you go, my brother will always be by your side and will never leave you." Cohen stood up and shouted: "The crow is gone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the white figure of the crow flew over Cohen's head. With a scream, several more people were turned into powder in the blood mist where they landed.
"You are the elf of joy. You are like a bird. You fly from the embrace of nature, pour out joy without hesitation, and sing for us the melody of the soul like clouds and flowing water." Cohen walked in the channel opened by the crow.
, whispered in Qinlun's ear: "You are like a fire cloud, rising from the ground, rising again, flying to the blue sky, constantly soaring while singing, and singing endlessly while soaring..."
In order to dispel the murderous intention in Cohen's heart, the poems that Bai Ying chanted during the war finally came in handy at this time.
Cohen didn't even know that his memory would be so good and he could read it out word for word, but in any case, Qin Lun's body no longer trembled, and her eyes only looked at the smiling Cohen. The killing around her did not attract her at all.
attention.
It's just that the crow is so hard that he has to keep flying around, intercepting and killing the enemies approaching from the front, left, and right - but judging from the situation, it's really just a piece of cake for him to deal with these people, and he even often has time to stop.
Come down and see how Qin Lun is doing.
After walking for several miles like this, Crow was finally angered by the continuous influx of enemies, and turned around to kill them all. After he came back, he didn't say how many people he killed. Anyway, no one caught up with them that night...
…
After dawn, Cohen and Crow flew away and went to a small town at noon to buy everything they needed. They first took Qin Lun to see a doctor, and also asked an aunt to help Qin Lun take a bath and change clothes.
.
Under the temptation of the reward of three silver coins, the aunt tried her best, and Qin Lun finally revealed her true colors. Her delicate facial features and gentle eyes can all vaguely see the outline of her sister. Although her face is still so thin, her energy has improved a lot.
.
"You are my princess." Cohen picked up Qin Lun, who had changed into new clothes, and spun him around several times: "I want to announce it to everyone!"
Qin Lun chuckled, her wet hair swaying in the air.
"She is still very weak." Crow stood aside, drinking boiled water with a cold expression: "Be careful."
"Let's ignore him, he is jealous of us." Cohen said to Qinlun with a smile: "Little princess, let's go!"
Crow snorted and turned away, but smiled at an angle that Cohen couldn't see.
"Look, little baby, that's the Blue Grass!" Cohen asked Qinlun to sit on his shoulders and kept pointing to the scenery on the roadside to show her: "Say it again! If we call its name loudly,
It will also be happy, you-blue-grass!"
"Ah-ah-ah!" Qin Lun, who was sitting on Cohen's shoulder, danced, but still couldn't speak.
"Well said, look over there, the broad-leaved flame tree!" Cohen was not discouraged at all: "Let's shout loudly - the broad-leaved flame tree!"
"ah!"
"Bug bird!"
"ah!"
"Well done, little princess, let's shout loudly - we are very happy!"
"Ah-ahem!"
"Slow down." Crow appeared next to Cohen, feeding Qin Lun some water: "Let's take our time, you don't have to speak in a hurry."
"That's right! We have to rest and find a place to eat." Cohen laughed: "There is a town ahead, let's go buy candy!"
Along the way, Cohen treated Qinlun with an extremely doting attitude. Although Qinlun could not speak, her eyes would sparkle when she saw something she was interested in. Needless to say, the thing would arrive the next moment.
In her hand.
Of course, there are some things that cannot be bought with money, but Qin Lun is surrounded by the world's number one killer. As long as Qin Lun wants it, as long as Cohen says something, he will go out as fast as the crow flies.
But trouble came, and Cohen shouted: "Don't you know children very well? She has suffered so much in that hellish place, how can I let her see violence again!"
For a cold-blooded person like Crow, it was extremely painful to persuade the other party to come up with something. Cohen, on the other hand, held Qin Lun and watched the excitement.
Crow protested, but was dismissed by Cohen with a playful smile: "I want to focus all my energy on the little princess. This is your request."
It is common for a crow to be eaten to death by two people and choked to the point of being unable to speak. The novel experience has taught the crow a lot of things, such as threats and writing bad checks.
Whenever he was so angry that the crow immediately lost his temper as long as Qin Lun gave him a smile. The most irritating time was when the crow tried his best to "grab" each other's bracelet, but Cohen and Qin Lun were already squatting on the ground.
There was mud on the ground.
"You..." Crow stuttered for the first time when speaking: "You..."
"We were playing in the mud," Cohen said. "Don't tell me you've never played in it."
"Actually..." Crow, dressed in snow-white clothes, lowered his head: "I have never played."
"Then why are you still standing?" Cohen looked at the crow with a strange look: "Let's play together!"
"You asked me to play with this?" Crow almost exploded with anger, but Qin Lun had already charged at Crow with a pair of dirty hands.
Crow was about to dodge, but Cohen said: "Don't move, she likes you." He was determined... Crow couldn't bear to close his eyes and let Qin Lun grab his clothes. He finally sighed and said "Ah" to Qin Lun.
" He picked her up and put her on his shoulders. Although there was mud everywhere on her clothes, she didn't have any temper at all.
"Hahahaha... Qin Lun did a good job." Cohen patted the mud on his hands, stared at Crow's clothes maliciously, and said something that made Crow half angry: "Friend, you were pulled by our little princess.
Down to earth."
Amid Cohen's arrogant laughter, Crow shook his head and went on his way without arguing.
Along the way, the crow "robbed" three flowers, two pairs of earrings, and five shining magic scrolls for Qin Lun... a remarkable achievement.
When Cohen babbled praises to the crow, saying that he was like Qin Lun's savior, the crow would usually stare at him fiercely until Qin Lun showed worried eyes.
Therefore, there is only one way to vent the sullenness in Crow's heart. When Qin Lun sees riding whips, sticks and other things, fear will appear in his eyes, and he will hide in Cohen's arms in fear. Then, these things will appear in the first place
Time turns into powder.
In the next few days, as long as Qin Lun was happy, she could climb on the shoulders of the two murderers and sit and play at any time. She even invented a set of coherent movements starting from running and finally sitting on the shoulders, which was both convenient and fast -
- Of course, beforehand, she would stand in front of someone, point her finger at herself, and say "ah".
In the warm atmosphere, the three of them were very happy. Although no one mentioned the breakup, it was the destined ending. After a few more carefree days, the breakup was finally brought up.
"Really?" When the crow said this, Cohen was feeding Qin Lun: "I still can't convince you to stay with us! Not even Qin Lun?"
"My destiny is not in my hands." Crow returned to his usual indifferent tone: "It's outrageous to let you know my name and let you live."
"What you are involved in is not a good career, just like Qin Lun's sister." Cohen handed the spoon in his hand to Crow: "But I don't want to leave any regrets this time... leave your career, no matter what you want to do, I
Everyone will help you.”
"It's not up to me to decide what career I want to have." Crow shook his head and took over feeding Qin Lun: "Besides, I didn't think about what I wanted to do at all. It's good like this now."
"What if one day, someone asks you to kill me? Will you be willing to look back only after killing me?"
"That day will never happen." Crow smiled faintly: "Who do you think you are? You will not be included in my schedule."
"I mean what would you do if...?"
"A killer doesn't think about what if."
"This is the request of my intern friend. Let's assume what happens."
"If one day comes... I don't know." Crow handed the spoon back to Cohen: "The people I want to kill have not escaped yet..."
"When are you leaving?" Cohen looked at the crow and asked in a low voice.
"Now." Crow smiled bitterly: "I don't want to procrastinate."
"Qinlun, Brother Crow is hungry." Cohen handed the spoon to Qinlun: "Can you feed Brother Crow something?"
Qin Lun nodded obediently, climbed onto the table, and raised the spoon to the crow's mouth. Cohen looked around, trying not to look at them.
"Qin Lun should be obedient and be a good boy." Crow put his hand into his arms and took out a headdress after a long time. He looked at it with nostalgia for a few times and then put it on Qin Lun's head: "Brother Crow has only
This thing can be given to you. My brother is an unclean person and is not qualified to bless you, but Brother Crow will always like you..."
"ah……"
"I'm telling you..." As the crow walked out, Cohen suddenly said: "No one has the right to say that other people are unclean - no one has the right to say that!"
Crow stopped and said, "If everyone says so, there's nothing you can do about it."
"Really? Then just beat him to pieces. As long as you stay, I don't care about this!" Cohen tried hard to the last moment: "You don't admit this in your heart, right? The white night clothes have already told me your struggle.
Don't leave! Tell me, can we still meet?"
"Do you remember the place where we first met?" Crow stopped again: "If you are free, we will meet again today next year."
"See you there or not!"
"See you there...my friend."
After turning a corner, Crow took out a face mask from his arms and put it on. He stood there for a long time before taking steps to leave.
In the distance, Cohen held Qin Lun and submerged his figure into the sunset from another direction. (To be continued)
