"Ahem…"
After two coughs, my consciousness gradually returned. The air with the smell of grass filled my lungs. I greedily breathed in. It seemed that I hadn't been strangled to death…
" I'm sorry…" A voice sounded from the side. It was Seth. He had really calmed down now. I don't know how long it has been since I fainted, but from the looks of it, he should have been watching over me.
"I'm fine. Let's go." I smiled comfortingly, but then I thought about the current situation. It was really awkward. Seth didn't mind. Instead, he reached out and pulled me up from the pit. Then, he walked towards the village without looking back.
Massacre…
Looking at the scene in front of me, I could only think of this word. Corpses were strewn all over the ground. There were old people, children, and young people. From the looks of their wounds, they were all killed in one shot, regardless of whether these people had weapons beside them or not.
Following Seth, we arrived at a training hall. This was the only building in the village that was still in good condition. I knew that this was Seth's home, because according to his description, his home was the place where he opened a sword training hall. But now, this place had become hell.
At the end of the massacre, we heard the cries of women. This was where the tragedy happened. In the training hall, there were about a dozen naked women lying there. They were all dead, and their bodies were already cold. These women should be all the women in this village, right? Among these women, the oldest should be in her forties or fifties, and the youngest should be less than ten years old. Their lower bodies were in a mess, and their limbs were fractured to varying degrees. Their empty eyes were staring at the sky, although their eyes had lost their luster. Their eyes were purple-black, which meant that they had been suffocated to death in the end, and the murder weapon was the cushion beside them.
" Mom…Nina…" Seth knelt beside two of them. One of them was a young girl, and the other was a beautiful lady, but they were just two cold corpses. I walked over and hugged Seth from behind because I knew this feeling. I had just experienced it not long ago.
" Cry, it'll make you feel better…" I whispered.
"Then why aren't you crying?" Seth asked without any tone.
"Because I want to avenge my mother. I don't have time to be weak and cry.”I muttered.
"Me too." Seth suddenly turned around and pushed me to the floor. Then, he slowly pressed his hands on my neck. His blue eyes stared into mine as he said,"Now that we have a common enemy, tell me everything you know.”
This voice was very gentle, but it was also very cold. There was no warmth at all.
"I've told you everything I know. All I can do now is analyze what I know.”I told him the truth.
"Then tell me." It was still that gentle yet cold tone.
" As far as I know, these black-armored soldiers don't belong to any country or any known army of any country. They seem to be looking for something related to our parents, but I really can't connect them. At the same time, the thing that such a powerful team was looking for should be very important. However, our parents weren't famous or even powerful. This made me very puzzled.”He continued to tell the truth.
"Then tell me, what should we do next?”His voice finally carried some warmth.
"According to the direction the black-armored soldiers are heading, they should be heading towards Lattes City. As far as I know, the chief steward of Rates City, Lewis, is a good steward with a rather good reputation. It's impossible for him to have such a butcher team. Moreover, it's impossible for the entire Isiah Dukedom to have such a butcher team. After all, Duke Isiah's reputation is better than this steward's.”I replied," That's why I think that our breakthrough point is the chief. However, we have to wait for the black armored soldiers to leave before taking action. After all, if we go to find the chief now, we'll be courting death.”
"En, I understand." Seth said. Then, he tilted his head and looked at me with great interest. He caressed my face with one hand, but his other hand was still pressing on my neck. He asked,"I'm very curious. How can you think of so many things and be so calm?”
At this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky. This bolt of lightning shone on Seth's face, and it was a little terrifying. The dark clouds in the sky have been gathering ever since we walked into this village. Is it finally going to rain?
"Because ever since I learned how to walk on my own, I followed my mother around the continent. The things I've heard and experienced are naturally not something you can imagine.”I replied calmly.
"Sorry, I suspected you." Seth seemed to want to make a " smile " gesture, but he couldn't make it after trying for a long time.
"It's okay. I understand." I also made a " smile " gesture, but it was obvious that I had succeeded.
Seth stood up and looked at the entire dojo. It was a little dark because it was going to rain, which made the corpses in the room look a little ferocious. The occasional lightning made this effect even worse.
" Let's go out and dig some graves," I said softly as I looked at Seth, who seemed to have no idea what he was doing." I need to wash their bodies and find some clean clothes. We can't just let them enter their resting place, right?”
Seth didn't say anything. He turned around and left. I found a wooden basin and a towel in the ruins and began to wash up these unfortunate women. The corpses were already stiff. Other than helping them close their eyes, I couldn't even make them fold their hands on their stomachs. After another hour, he finally finished washing them. I found some clothes in the ruins of Seth's house and reluctantly put them on because most of them didn't fit.
At this moment, Seth walked in with some mud stains on his body. He said to me,"The tomb has been dug. Let's bury them.”
I began to say the last Mass for them. Seth would take one away from each of them, and the last one was Seth's mother. I followed Seth to the cemetery. Seth placed his mother with the other unfortunate women and waved his hand to stop me. He used his hands to bury the grave bit by bit.
It began to rain heavily. Looking at the two crosses in the rain, I suddenly wanted to laugh. Would God bless them? I don't know, because I'm a devil, but as a devil, I performed the last Mass for them.
"Seth."
"Hmm?"
"I really want to cry."
"I want to cry too, but didn't you say that you don't have time to be weak and cry?”
"If it's just one person, that's true. But if it's two people, it might be better, right?”
"Then, let's cry together."
"Yes."
We cried. We cried so hard that even the rain from the sky couldn't wash away our tears. We weren't crying silently. Instead, we were kneeling on the ground and wailing. This seemed to be a form of venting, a form of accusation, or even a form of oath.
"Lina, you're a nun, right?" As he cried, Seth suddenly asked.
"Yes, I have a certificate.”I cried as I replied.
"Aren't nuns supposed to sing a requiem at times like this?”Seth asked.
"Requiem is sung for the living. Do you need to listen to it now?”I asked.
"Then forget it." Seth said with a smile.
Looking at Seth's smile, I suddenly wanted to thank the rain. At least, it made Seth and I cry. As long as we cried, the smile wouldn't be far away…
……
When night fell, we arrived at Lattes again. Jerry was already waiting outside the city. He led us through a secret passage into the city and to another secret stronghold. We began to exchange information.
"…Is that so…" Hearing our words, Bruno fell silent, but he quickly perked up and said to us,""According to my investigation, these black-armored soldiers returned this afternoon, but they did not enter the city. Instead, a black-armored knight, who was the leader, entered the chief's house and left with everyone an hour later.”
" Looks like there's really something wrong with the chief," Seth said." Did you notice anything unusual about the chief? Also, if there's anything unusual about the chief, how are we going to get close to him?”
"I also investigated the chief and found that there was nothing unusual about him, but that might not be the case because when the chief was talking to the black armored knight, I didn't dare to get close.”Bruno shrugged." Also, I can't do anything about the problem you mentioned.”
"But I have a way."
A voice suddenly sounded. Seth pulled out his sword. Everyone was on guard in that direction. There was an old man standing there. None of us noticed when he came in.
"Old Cat?" Jerry said in surprise, but he quickly regained his composure. He said to Old Cat,"Do you want to catch me? Sure, but it has nothing to do with these two people. Let them leave, and I'll go with you.”
"I'm not interested in you now.”Old Cat waved his hand and turned to Seth.""I heard what you said just now. If it's true, then it's really something that can't be done. I can help you.”
"Why are you helping us?" I asked calmly.
"Little girl, you are very cautious." " Old Cat " smiled casually." The reason is very simple. Firstly, Seth has done me a favor, and I have the obligation to avenge him. Secondly, our Thieves 'Union has been investigating this group of people for a long time. This time, we finally have some clues. Naturally, we can't let them go.”
Bomb, this is definitely a bomb. Maybe I didn't feel anything about this bomb, but the other two people, especially Jerry, were dizzy from the bomb, but they soon revealed suspicious expressions.
"You don't believe me? Kid, take a look at this." As he spoke, a golden object popped out of Old Cat's hand. Jerry subconsciously reached out to grab it. He opened his palm and saw a gold coin lying there. However, the pattern on the gold coin was a flying bird-the emblem of a swallow. This was the symbol of a member of the Thieves 'Union.
