Sophie felt that she had had a long dream. In a quiet and dark environment, everything in the dream seemed strange and bizarre. However, there was only a black moon and a tall tower standing quietly in the middle of a dark lake.
throughout this dream.
Does the moon symbolize something, and what does the tower symbolize? Or is it just a nightmare?
Sophie didn't know, just like he didn't know when he would wake up. This state lasted until he heard a conversation in a daze -
"Freya."
"Breeden, have you been contacted?"
This is a girl's voice, bright and clear in speech -
"No, there is a group of monsters guarding the avenue. We can't find where Uncle Madden and the others have gone, and this guy..."
The second voice was still that of a child, and the source of the voice turned to him. Sophie's heart jumped slightly, and she seemed to feel a gaze falling on herself. This gaze was like a link to the world, making his body gradually tremble.
Shen, the next moment the young man realized that it was gravity.
Sophie finally confirmed that he could feel his body, although his whole body was still not in control.
His breathing couldn't help but become somewhat disordered. Is he dead?
"He is a wounded man, take care of him." The girl's voice replied.
Wounded?
Is this talking about him?
Yes, he was seriously injured. His thoughts became clear, and everything that happened before appeared in his mind one by one like an early movie, from the moment he was reborn through the body of the young man named Brando.
At the beginning - Sophie never thought that one day she would be able to risk her life to do something. It didn't seem like a decision that a homebody should make.
But he succeeded after all, Martha is on top——
"Freya, he's awake." The child suddenly said.
"What?"
"I saw his eyelids move."
"Impossible, he was seriously injured, Makimi said... eh!"
Serious injury?
Indeed, Brando was seriously injured to begin with, and later he was hit by three swords when he activated his die-hard ability. He remembered clearly that each blow to his lower abdomen and right chest was a genuine puncture injury.
Sophie's heart became active, and with a thought, the sounds around her suddenly became clear. The panicked shouts, the crackling sound of burning, the collision of metal and the sound of footsteps combined to cover up the previous conversation. The surrounding temperature also gradually increased.
When he got high, he felt a warm heat licking his face at first, but after a while, the temperature gradually became hot.
hot.
He blinked and struggled to open his eyelids - the first thing that caught his eye was the startled face of a girl.
That girl who should be called Freya, Sophie's first impression of her was completely in line with his imagination of the owner of the bright, clear voice: light brown hair, bright big eyes, long hair succinctly flowing from the back.
It was tied into a long ponytail, setting off a face full of heroic spirit. She was looking at him with her head buried, and Sophie was also looking at her. She was wearing a set of close-fitting gray and white leather armor, with a thick
A cotton shirt with an armband on the left shoulder - a beautiful black pine leaf painted with earthen paint.
Butcher's Militia.
He also noticed the sword in the girl's hand, which was a medieval Western European long sword. There was a flame emblem on the iron plate on the sword guard.
The symbol of the Temple of Fire.
He moved his eyes upward and saw the bloody bandages on the other side's shoulder and left chest.
Have you ever been in a fight?
Every detail cannot escape Sophie's eyes——
…
When he woke up, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
"What is this place?"
"Where's Roman...cough!" As soon as Sophie opened her mouth, she felt as if a piece of iron had fallen into her throat, which was burning and dry. The pain in her chest gradually spread to her whole body, and he couldn't help but cough lightly.
But the forest was so quiet that the only thing that responded to him was the sound of wind coming from the Yusong Mountains. However, the sound of wind passed through the thick needles of Golan black pine and became subtle and soft, making a rustling sound, as if it was flowing in the forest.
It's like a river next to your ears.
No one answered.
"He's awake."
"I can't believe I can still survive such an injury."
"It's a reflection of the light, right..."
However, the whispers around him reached his ears. Sophie was a little confused, what was going on? These people should be Buqi's militia? Was he rescued by the other party?
What about the business lady?
Did the plan succeed? Did Captain Madden understand what he meant?
He couldn't help but turn his head. The first thing that caught his eye was a bright bonfire. The firelight danced in his field of vision, and the sparks rose up along the black pines and disappeared into the long night sky.
"Are you awake?" The girl finally reacted and stopped him quickly: "Wait, don't move, this is Butchi, do you remember?"
"Butchi...Butchi." Sophie recited the place name repeatedly.
"Can you tell me what happened?" He breathed out. Logically speaking, he was too dead to die, whether it was based on the game or real-life experience.
The only possibility is unless Miss Roman really finds the potion of life.
"Little Phoenix and Makmi found you in the forest not far away." Freya looked at him curiously. Although this young man named Brando has been in their village for almost a year, in fact, he has nothing to do with the village.
I don’t have much contact with other young people here.
He always stayed alone in his gloomy room, and only occasionally accompanied Roman to nearby towns.
Even the fools in the area knew that this young man was interested in the girl who dreamed of being a businessman, except of course the latter herself.
When Freya thought of this, she couldn't help but look at him again, always with a hint of suspicion.
"You?" Sophie asked.
"You and Roman, I really wonder how you escaped." The girl couldn't help but sigh.
"What's up with her?"
"She is very good. Don't worry, she is ten thousand times better than you. You should pay more attention to your own situation." Freya stroked her forehead and asked softly: "But she is always clamoring to go to the village. You
Do you know what this is about?"
Sophie was startled.
In other words, he hasn't used the life potion yet, so what about his injuries? It was like an instinctive reaction. He subconsciously opened his attribute interface, and green data flowed on his retina. In the character status column
He was stunned to see this line of small words:
Life (dying, weak): 10% (bandaged state, 1 life point restored every day)
Impossible! Sophie's first reaction was that she was dreaming. No one knew her condition better than herself. There were four fatal injuries and massive bleeding. No matter which state it was, she should be dead.
Already.
How come you still have 10% life?
Sophie shook her head, trying to make her thoughts clearer, but she saw the girl on the side with a nervous look on her face: "Don't move, you are seriously injured..."
"Don't worry." He waved his hand subconsciously.
Sophie knew his own affairs well. Although he had some doubts, his current condition was neither blood loss nor any other abnormality. Although he was still weak and in a state of death - he understood that there was no rush and he could only
Rely on taking care of yourself slowly.
Because the injury is in a stable condition, at least it is not life-threatening.
And this is what he is most confused about, how does this injury automatically stabilize? Indomitable talent does not have this ability!
"You——!" Freya couldn't help but widen her eyes. She had never seen such a desperate person.
At first, everyone thought this guy was dead, but they didn't expect that he could wake up. Just for this alone, you should be grateful to Lord Martha for favoring him, right?
The problem is that this hateful guy still looks so indifferent. He should cherish his life.
"Lie back!" The girl couldn't help but take a deep breath and ordered through gritted teeth.
Sophie was stunned and couldn't help but glance at the other person. What's wrong with this woman?
"You, you have also received militia training, right? My name is Freya, and I am the captain of the third detachment of the Butchi militia. Now I ask you to obey my orders for the time being," Freya blushed, realizing her gaffe.
:"no problem?"
"Are you Freya?" Sophie was startled and blurted out subconsciously: "Freya Alicia was born in the Year of the Bloom, and her father is the Great Knight Everton?"
"Hey, what?" The girl was stunned by the series of questions: "No, no, my father is just a carpenter in the town..."
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter all around.
"Freya, this guy's pick-up skills are very good."
"You have to be careful, eldest sister."
"Say a few words and no one will treat you as a mute, Makimi, Ike!" Freya turned back angrily and glared at the young people over there.
And Sophie also took this opportunity to look at these people sideways - there were seven or eight people in this militia unit, which was in line with Eruin's establishment, but the captain turned out to be a woman, and there was also a brat...
He looked at the tall and short 'women and children' beside him, and felt a little emotional for a moment. It seemed to be just a special case, but in fact, it reflected from the side that Eruin had been weakened after years of war.
Next, ZTE, which seems to be shiny on the surface, will drain the last bit of vitality out of this country.
Sophie couldn't help but sigh.
He had witnessed this history from beginning to end, and he did not expect that he would have to experience it again in this life. But he might be able to change something. He looked at the girl beside him in a daze -
That's right, Freya Alicia, the last general of Eruin, was later called the Valkyrie of the Kingdom. She was the daughter of the 'Scepter of Fire' Everton, who was lost in the countryside in her early years.
, and later became one of the top rising stars in the country after being recognized by the Princess Regent.
I didn’t expect that she had also experienced this war——
Unfortunately, it is not yet time to let the other party take the initiative. Sophie understands that she must be responsible for her own safety, and of course, for the lives of these young people.
"What are you looking at?" Freya turned around and was startled when she met the young man's gaze.
The look was neither admiration nor admiration. It was as if she were a strange animal. Yes, it was a visit.
But there are no visitors, and they are not animals.
"You haven't seen a dead person yet, right?" Sophie asked suddenly.
"ah?"
"I mean, are you afraid of seeing people die?"
"No, I just..." The girl was stunned for a moment and was speechless for a moment.
"Then my injury has nothing to do with you. Can I sit up?" Sophie asked seriously.
"No, it can't be."
"Why?"
Freya was speechless. She was indeed afraid. She was afraid of seeing someone die in front of her, no matter who it was. Compared with the future Valkyrie who was high and shrouded in countless halos, the current Freya was just a human being.
Just a simple country girl.
I have never experienced the cruelty of war, and I still simply look forward to the good side of the world.
Sophie smiled slightly. He had never seen a dead person, but if his experience in the 'Amber Sword' were included, he would be more than twice as good as Freya now.
He has at least experienced the pain of loss.
The longing for the past people and things turns over and over in the memory, making people suffer and hesitate. It is this kind of emotion that makes people mature and know how to cherish.
But it also sows hatred.
"So, I'm just a little girl. What ability do you have to make me obey your orders, Miss Freya?"
"you you--"
Sophie knew that it would not be good for her to dwell on this topic. He glanced at the bandage on his chest again, and immediately changed the subject and said, "Did you put the bandage on me?"
"It was the eldest sister who beat me. She is the only one here who knows first aid." The little kid next to him rushed to answer. He looked at the young man curiously, and he seemed to be really experienced.
The militia in Bragues is different from those in small places like these.
"It can only barely stop the bleeding. Don't move around casually. I don't want to give you another blow." Freya reminded immediately.
In addition to stopping bleeding, the recovery effect of the bandage can only be used once, and Sophie certainly knows this.
But this time he politely replied: "Thank you, although the workmanship is a bit inferior -"
"..."
Masha, Freya took a deep breath. At this moment, she almost had the urge to strangle this smiling guy to death. What on earth did he want to do?
