Violet and the Thorn Bird

Chapter 16 Accepting the Crusade

Borg didn't go back to the room until the afternoon, but there was no one on the bed.As he washed his hands, he saw Gal's changed clothes piled up with his own in a basket.

His room was full of signs of intrusion.

Borg remained indifferent, turned off the water, and closed the laundry basket casually.

The snatched unicorns were housed together, and Gray beat on the fence and directed people to clean up the unicorn's excrement.Gal took Belle and lay on the side watching.

"Stay away," Gray said, "don't you think it stinks?"

"On the contrary," Gall says, "I think they smell nice, kind of sweet. And they don't look like poop, more like nice little white rocks."

"I don't feel good at all." Gray looked at him with disgust, "Why do you like unicorn poop."

"I haven't seen it before." Gal said innocently, "I think they are much cuter than gold coins, buddy, take a good look at them, each one is round and small, how cute!"

Gray turned his body to one side, "Don't talk about Gal, this description makes me unable to touch the gem anymore!"

"Yeah, gems," Gal said. "You're supposed to think of them as gems. They'll shine in the sun. Are you hungry, Gray? I'm kind of hungry. I've been sleeping all day."

"Why can't you sleep at night." Gray put the shovel by the fence. "Can you and Berg be quiet? You guys are really noisy at night."

"I'm sorry to disturb you." Gal said, "I also want to be quiet. I can be very quiet by myself. But Borg is always uncooperative. He likes to make noises and say some unanswerable things, very Bad taste."

"Oh..." Gray showed an unbelievable expression.

"Is it hard to accept? You look like you're telling me I'm lying, but it's true. I still like him when he's asleep, nice and quiet. He's perfect when he closes his eyes." Steady the cub, "His eyes are so aggressive, I suspect half of his haters are born just from being scorned by those eyes. But I actually...well, well, I actually like him too His eyes are equally beautiful."

"Words that express your sincerity are meaningful only when you say them face to face." An arm was put on his shoulder suddenly, and Borg pressed on his shoulder, "I thought you were still asleep."

"No, I'm hungry." Gal said, "Do you have anything to eat? The milk last time was delicious. I also want to have some chicken and fish, and the vegetables are also good. Human cooking skills are beyond the talents of the gods." , I love Chef!"

"How many people did your love go to?" Borg said.

"Countless." Gall said, "Not only people, but also trees, as long as I like, I can fall in love with them. A great hunter should not stick to the prescribed prey. I can hunt you, and I can hunt a A beast. Though I don't see any difference between you."

"Ah," Borg understood lightly, leaving his arms off his shoulders, "what a free man."

"...I'm probably very full," Gray said. "You can go to the cane terrace to eat, don't stand here, brothers, I think you can... talk alone?"

"I love milk." Gal drank the milk, "cows are awesome. Why would I want to raise a sheep before, I should have cows."

"Is Grant so stingy?" Borg shared a plate of beef, "I thought he was partying in the forest every day."

"Why do you think so?" Gal forked his beef, "Glenn is actually a very serious leader, which is different from his gorgeous appearance, he is very serious. The Magic Forest does not hold carnivals, and the snake people are very economical."

"Because he hasn't moved." Borg put the beef into his mouth. "After losing the protection of the devil, he is still immersed in peace. Even Randolph can easily kill him."

"He just can't move." Gal concentrated on eating the fish, and seemed not very interested in this topic. "The abyss has never approached the human kingdom. He has always guarded his home. He is a snake who doesn't know how to take the initiative. Humans His greed was beyond his imagination, and worse than his nightmares. I thought it was noble, but what I hear from you now is cowardice and naivety. Randolph was a good teacher. He taught snakes How people bared their fangs, in a way, I should thank him for cheering up my brother." His green eyes looked up and looked at Borg, "You really care about snake people."

"No," Borg said quietly, "I care about you. Do you want to kill Randolph?"

"Of course not." Gal said in surprise, "Why would I kill him? Even if he dies, Glenn can't be resurrected. The nonsense of immortality will always only exist in the blinded trust." He smiled slightly, and his little fangs Flashing, "I just want him—they pay for it."

The knife and fork made a short and crisp sound on the porcelain plate, and Gal immediately sucked his fingers, "I'm still not used to eating like this, it's too bad, can I get started, friend?"

"No." Borg pressed the silver spoon critically against Gal's fingers, "You should learn to eat with it calmly, like an ordinary person."

"Why me?" Gal laughed, "It's not good, I don't like it. You can't save the world with a fork..."

"If you still want to enter the kingdom safely." Borg put his messy cut beef into his mouth gracefully, "Looking for your things, you have to eat like this."

"Okay." Gal twitched the corners of his lips, "Okay, it's really troublesome... Do I still have to learn how to use 'sir' and 'hello' correctly? Oh, let me die."

"You just need to learn to call Borg." Borg let go of the knife and fork, wiped his hands, "use your sweet trembling voice."

"Interesting." Gal laughed, "You said you wouldn't accept verbal tasks."

"It varies from person to person." Borg looked sideways, "I can consider making an exception for you."

"Aha..." Gal leaned closer to him, "Talking words is the beginning of misunderstanding, and I have only learned this sentence not long ago."

"You should remember another sentence." Borg said, "Words reveal what people think. This is the path of technical aggression."

"You're scary." Gal stopped getting closer, "Dangerous man."

"There's no fear in your eyes at all." Borg slid his finger across the corners of his eyes, "Look in the mirror, it's full of excitement."

"Yeah," Gal said, "you make me thump and feel thrilled."

"Just get used to it," Borg said. "You've become too obsessed with this face."

"Don't say that, maybe I'm obsessed with you?" Gal sat back in his chair and ate his fish, "You should be more confident, dear. I can end my topic here, it's your turn, Borg. Shargo I gave the devil's heart to the king, what does the old man want the devil's heart for?"

"Gain eternal life." Borg asked for a glass of wine. "He spent too much time with women. When Xia Ge formed the expeditionary army, he could no longer enjoy the beauty he imprisoned."

"Indulgence is also greed," Gal said. "It's a meaningless thing. But is this guy really a king? He's so stupid. The devil himself is not immortal, and he expects the heart of the devil to make him immortal."

"You're right." Borg said, "The devil himself is not immortal, but the heart of the devil is still beating after leaving the abyss, until the pope seals it in the depths of the palace, it is alive."

"That's just an illusion." Gal gulped down the milk, "It died the moment it was dug out by Xia Ge, just like its owner."

"So the king is dead." Borg shook his glass. "He has only one son, weak Arthur, the object of Randolph's love."

"I am Arthur's eternal shield and long sword." Gall imitated Randolph's tone, "He is really madly infatuated with the little king."

"Yes." Borg said, "Randolph's aunt is the old king's queen, she gave birth to Arthur, and Randolph has been living in St. Vers's palace to accompany Arthur to grow up. He is very obsessed with that kid, From the beginning to now."

"Overflowing emotion is redundant," Gall said. "He's going to give his life for this mad love one day. Hey, I don't want to know about Randolph."

"I thought you'd be interested in him," Borg said.

"I'm only interested in you," Gal said.

"Ahem." Fanny stood behind and shook the opened envelope, "Let me bother Borg."

"What?" Borg asked.

"The Onion has announced a new ultra-high-level mission, which is a crusade order. It has already sent a message to all the gold medal mercenaries and gold medal adventurers." Fanny said, "it's a bit late for us."

"Call Gray," said Borg. "He's in charge of taking orders."

"Of course, but I didn't mean to disturb. This subjugation order is very strange, it is very special." Fanny raised the opened yellow paper subjugation order in the eyes of the two of them, "SSS ultra-high-level mission, the kingdom issued the highest order. Bounties, bounties and temple perks have driven everyone crazy."

"Sounds cool." Gal sat down on the chair, leaned over the back of the chair and read the title of the mission, and then he burst out laughing.

"I don't think it's ridiculous." Fanny put her hips on her hips, "Actually, I think it symbolizes blood and rain."

"Don't be so nervous, Fanny." Gal said, "It's just a crusade against the Demon King, what everyone has done before."

"You are so optimistic." Fanny said, "The king offered [-] million gold coins to ask for the corpse of the demon king. This time it is not the heart, but the whole body. The pope will also bow to the newborn warrior, and the temple will bless him forever. Think Come to think of it, everyone is crazy, and we would be an easy target if we got involved."

"Fear is not your signature." Gall whistled, "That's [-] million gold coins, and the devil himself doesn't even have that much money."

"The Demon King is dead." Fanny pointed at the task, "It's well known. Maybe they just want to use this method to make adventurers kill each other. After all, this should be the territory of the knights. I don't agree to accept it."

"How can you be sure that the Demon King is dead." Gal shook his calf, "Maybe he's still alive."

"Xiago dug out his heart, the Grimm dug out his horns, the Longman dwarves cut off his wings, and the Reker spear took away his eyes." Fanny said exaggeratedly, "In the end you are right I said he might still be alive? Don’t be kidding, cutie, the Forest of Magic has been burned, if he is still alive, then his anger should ignite the abyss, and a war with humans is imminent, instead of going out for a trip.”

"Uh," Gall said, "you really know him."

"Of course, I have studied it." Fanny said, "I have memorized all the information on the abyss! The Demon King is moody and has a bad temper."

"This evaluation is really novel," Gal said, "So you think the devil is completely cold?"

"Yes, that's right." Fanny refolded the subjugation order, "So we should let this matter go to hell, I don't want to cause trouble."

"You're in trouble." Gal laughed. "Calm down my friend."

"I'm calm," Fanny said, "very much. Borg, don't risk Borg."

Borg snatched the subjugation order from her hand, didn't open it, but asked, "Is there a pass order for this mission?"

"...Take it." Fanny called out, "But why are we going inland! Borg, we don't need it, we don't need this hundred million."

"But I need a pass." Borg stood up and said to Gal when he went up the stairs, "Think about your reward, I only want something that makes my heart beat."

"I'm sorry." Gal pinched a piece of bread, and followed slowly while eating, "Thank you for your generosity, please let me spend tonight quietly. We can choose not to quarrel, see if you get the pass For the sake of order..."

"He took it?" Fanny complained sharply to Gray, "Just for the pass? What do we need the pass for? The wilderness is our territory! We will die if we enter the kingdom!"

"I'm surprised too." Gray rubbed his chin, "I think I should drop by home to see if the Demon King's wings are still there...I don't believe he's still alive."
