Violet and the Thorn Bird

Chapter 64

wilderness.

Dude poked his head out of the lair, his ears wobbled by the wind and snow.He held his head and wrapped it in a fleece cap.The wilderness is in the severe cold period when thousands of miles are frozen. At this time, except for the giant tusked beasts that can move, other beasts will sleep in their caves.The Ratmen have very little food this year, so they have to find a way to hunt down the giant tusked beasts for food.

The Ratman moved close to the ground, feeling the vibration of the ground in the wind and snow.The giant tusk is huge, and it is moving slowly in the snow.They are in groups, and they want to go to the Magic Forest through here. The temperature will ease near the abyss, and there is a fertile grassland in front of the Lost Canyon.

Dude's arm was wrapped with a bramble and grass rope, and they followed the long-toothed giant beast through the narrow passage dug underground, and they had reached the edge of the wilderness.The wind and snow made it impossible to open his eyes normally. In the cold, Dude crouched behind the earth and rocks, gesturing to others.The Ratmen immediately crawled out, their short stature nimbly running around the giant beast's feet, and the lone long-toothed giant beast was bound by straw ropes to its hind legs.One of the giant beast's feet was pulled into the ground, it raised its head and hissed, and was tripped to the ground, and the ice and snow suddenly splashed and flew.Du De flew up along the giant beast's legs, and the dagger drenched with paralyzing juice penetrated into the neck of the giant beast. The thick fur was hard. Fortunately, the dagger carried Sean's curse circle.The giant beast wailed, hit its head heavily in the snow, and called for help to the team ahead.

"Hold back!" Dude jumped down, tumbling in a circle, and ran backwards, "Hold on!"

The rat people ran in a dense mass, and the giant beast was dragged back.Its wailing gradually faded into short gasps.The leading beast in front suddenly turned around and roared angrily.The long-toothed monsters turned around and came running wildly, trampling on the ground and vibrating violently.Dude was knocked over by the shock, and the ratmen were in a mess.

Dude climbed to the narrow hole under the snow, but the hole was collapsed by the running of the giant beasts.The ice and snow made the soil hard, and it was obviously too late to dig again. Dude could only get up and continue running.

Although the giant beast moves slowly, it is easier to run in the snow because of its large size than the smaller ratmen.Dude had been buried in the snow, and he paddled forward like swimming.The enraged monster has come behind, it raised its front legs to trample the mouse to death!

A long howl suddenly came from the sky ruled by cold wind and heavy snow, and even larger shadows flew over the cloudy clouds, and all creatures trembled under the long howl.The flames sprayed, and the sharp claws suddenly grabbed the back of the giant beast. The wings swept away the heavy snow, and then vibrated suddenly, and the giant beast was dragged off the ground.The dragon raised its head and roared, and the flames swept around.

Dude crawled back on hands and feet, shaking his hands, tucked his tail, and looked at the dragon.The red dragon eyes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, Du De was cold all over, he stopped panting, but raised his hands, not daring to move.

Ino snorted, not paying attention to the little rat man.The giant beast under its claws was still struggling, and Ino directly lowered his head, bit the neck of the giant beast, and threw it out violently.The torn flesh of the giant beast let the smell of blood flow, and it shook its limbs in a weak mourning sound, and died completely.

A pitch-black armor appeared on the dragon's back, and the dragon knight's ferocious armor protruded with thorns. He took out the onion ball, and Gal was calling him.Sean raised his hand to open the mask, revealing his face.The onion ball cannot transmit ghost images, it can only record sounds and transmit them one by one.

"Brother." In the onion ball, Gall's voice was a little hoarse, "I will go to St. Forth in a week to get the snake people in the city ready. This time the operation is urgent, and I will let them leave smoothly. You need to Prepare the route to the north, and the Ratmen's defense work must be completed before spring arrives. It's going to rain soon."

"Tempest" is the name Garr gave to this operation, and the target is San Vers, and they have been buried in the kingdom for a long time.

"I got it, brother." Sean wiped the onion balls to make the voice record clearer. "The people in St. Fosley are on call at any time, and I will notify them to wait for news. Will you come back? I can let Ino is going to pick you up. Alright, Ino, come and say hello to His Majesty."

The dragon turned his head and moved closer.But it is too big, and it can't talk, it can only hum a few times, and its tail sweeps in the snow.

"It also hopes that you can come back. Do you have any plans for your heart? If you have, please let me know in advance." Sean was interrupted by Blizzard's recording, so he could only cut off the rest of the words and said briefly , "In addition, your voice doesn't sound very good, do you have a cold? Brother, does the devil have a cold?"

With a snort in Yinuo's nose, Sean turned off the onion ball.His smile was very short, and he pointed to the direction of Dude below, and then put on the mask again.The armor was heavy and without aesthetics, and it was the exact opposite of his face.When Sean is completely wrapped by it, everything about him will be hidden behind it, and he will become cold, like a real demon without emotion.

Ino bowed his head again, and breathed on Dude, and watched the Ratman being blown over by it on the snow, before spreading his wings happily.Dude was blown backward by the strong wind from the flapping of his wings. He hugged his body to avoid it, and the dragon had already taken off again.

Blizzard was suddenly split open, and the cloud split into two. Long Poyun rushed out, roaring and flying away.

Dude raised his arm to cover his face, but he couldn't control his chasing eyes.

San Vers.

Seeger returned home early, but he saw no one when he opened the door.Beans were still scattered on the table, indicating that Carol had been here not long ago.

"Carol?" Seeger sniffed out a different breath, he slowed down and approached the bedroom, "Are you there?"

There was a muffled gasp in the room, but it didn't escape Sig's ears.Although he left the Holy Knight Order, he did not stop exercising.He raised his vigilance and slowly pushed open the door.

There was a hiss immediately, and the tail of the snake frantically slapped at him.Seeger was forced to cover his face, but saw clearly what was going on in the gap.

"Quiet, quiet!" Carol tried her best to comfort the irritable snake man. She pressed her hands on his chest to stop him from jumping up and attacking, "Don't move! Be quiet, be quiet. He won't touch you, I Promise. Seeger, stand back, back to the table!"

Seeger backed away as he wished, and he even raised his hands to signal that he was not aggressive.The smell of blood in the house was sufficient, the rose tattoo on the snake man's neck was scraped off, and his chest was also bleeding, heaving violently, and his narrow pupils were staring at Sig.

"Very good, very good... Can you put your tail away now? Hide it under the bed, it takes up too much space. Keep breathing, it's fine, it's safe here." Carol softened her voice, and she slowly moved towards Swimming back, retreated to Sig and closed the door with his tail.

"...The friend you brought back?" Seeger hesitated to speak.

"No." Carol rubbed her stomach and said to Sig, "cleaned out of a brothel...they dumped him in the dump and thought he was going to die. But I don't think he's going to die, he's strong, Can survive." She looked at Sig and begged, "Shall we keep him?"

"...Carol," Sig said with difficulty, "we can't feed him, there's not enough food in the house."

The source of income for their livelihood is Sig's blacksmith shop and Carol's basket weaving, and the winter has made them live very hard.Because of the baby, Sig must ensure that Carol can eat enough meat, which is not easy.

"Give him my share." Carol's eyes blushed. "Please, let him stay. Winter will make the wound worse, and he will really die outside."

"You've got to provide enough nutrition for the baby," Seeger said. "You can't give up your share."

"Take him out," Carol said. "He's going to die tonight. There's men everywhere, drunks out there in the night, what's they going to do when they see him? They're gonna drag him out into the middle of nowhere! Please, please You, please Sig! Keep him, if only for a while."

Seeger gave in to her begging, he gave up insisting, and lowered his hand, "...just temporarily."

At dinner, Carol gave up half of her own and wiped the snake man's wounds. His scratched back shoulder looked even worse.The blood on the chest should be human. Carol checked his mouth and saw broken fangs.

Seeger was at the table all the time, occasionally meeting the snake man's eyes, which made him feel bad, because the eyes were full of tyrannical hatred.After the meal, he left the room, covering up the bloodstains left by the snake man while he was dragging.When he got to the dump, he could still see several bodies.

He closed his eyes, not even having the courage to take a second look.

The drunk bumped into Sig's shoulder, spat out cursing, and shook away with the bottle.Seeger wiped off the last traces of blood with the sole of his shoe and hurried home.

They are usually very careful, and Carol will wear a cloak at home.The slums are no more benevolent than the nobles, at least not in their attitude towards the snake people.Seeger built the yard so strong that prying eyes couldn't take advantage of it, and he even refused to visit his sister.

Carol didn't want this child, thinking he was a symbol of filth and filth, but Sig thought he was an innocent life.The two had argued about it, but since no one knew how to get rid of him, Carol kept him.

When Sig stepped into the yard, he suddenly heard the sound of the inner room.He opened the door in a few steps, and saw Carol's tail flicking wildly, and there was a sound of collision in the bedroom.The snake man bit Carol's arm, entangled her waist, pressed her to the ground and stuck her throat.

"Go away!" Seeger twisted away the snake man's hand, and he hit the side of the snake man's face with his shoulder, "What are you doing?!"

"A human child." The snake man hissed, hitting the bedpost with his tail. "She is pregnant with a human child!"

"Are you crazy!" Sig dragged the snake man away, and Carol was able to breathe. She retreated quickly and hugged herself tightly.Seeger held down the snake man's tail, flipped his head to the other side, and firmly fixed it on the ground, "That's not her fault!"

"I didn't blame her!" The snake man trembled with red eyes, "but that is the dirty blood of human beings! The snake man shouldn't keep him! Kill him! Abandon him! The snake man's body should not be conceived by humans Descendants!"

"Are you crazy..." Sig said in amazement, "She will be strangled to death by you too."

"She can't go back!" the snake-man panted heavily, looking at Carol against the ground, and gradually choked up, "Stupid! She can't go back! With a human child, when she steps out of here, the snake-man will tear her apart!"

Carol bit her lip, curled her tail, turned her head against the curtain, her shoulders trembling.

"...Crazy." Seeger strengthened his hand, and he warned the snake man, "Don't touch her again! You should come to find men, come to Green people, and even come to me! Not to your own survivors Vent! Do you understand? Don't touch her again!"

"Life is so painful." The snake man choked up, and he said hoarsely, "If you keep her life, you can only make her face more pain. The snake man will not accept her anymore, she has lost her home. "

"Just because she has a baby?" Seeger's anger came in waves, and he lifted the snake man, "You should tear Randolph! Shred everyone on this road! Go now! Now! Stupid The devil should come here! Where's the dragon knight? Let them come, hurry up! You're crazy! I don't care what the snake man thinks, but don't touch Carol, she's right, she's right! I said she didn't Wrong!" He let go of his hand and stepped back to Carol's side, "This is my child, and he and his mother are under my control now. Whether it's a snake or a human, no one can touch them."

Sig held the standing guard, and the epee blocked the narrow space, as if drawing a boundary.His chaotic breathing didn't calm down, he didn't even understand why he was angry, he and Carol were just friends.

Or a friend he unilaterally considers.

The bruised and mottled corpses at the garbage dump recurred in his mind at this moment.Seeger held his head and buried it between his knees.Amidst the cries of the Snakeman and Carol, he suddenly felt very sad. This sadness squeezed his heart with a huge sense of powerlessness, making him hold his hair tightly and sob softly.

How to do.

What is he going to do.

The world is already like this, what can he do?For whom?

He is like this epee, wrapped in cumbersome and heavy cloth strips, and forgotten in the struggle of being unable to breathe. "Standing Guard" is so lonely, Sieg opened his eyes and felt that he was standing in the dark, and he was also so lonely.
