messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 144 Is there something wrong with the direction of this plot

On the hillside, Chuzheng looked at the plain in the distance. The field is always so silent at night, with a tranquility that makes people silent.She loved being in the stillness as much as she loved being silent.

At this time, she heard a footstep breaking the silence, the sound was very soft, but it was still so obvious to her.

Looking back for the first time, the godless eyes couldn't see what was in front of her, but the evil sense sensed a person walking towards her.

She knew this person, the captain of the mercenary team hired by Mann, who seemed to be called Lorna.

Chu was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what the other party was looking for her for, and they probably haven't had any communication in the past few days.

Could it be that she just couldn't sleep and wanted to chat with someone? Chu Chu thought about it, but she didn't mind chatting a few words, as long as the other party didn't talk about topics she wasn't good at.

But Lorna walked towards her blindly and quickly, and didn't seem to want to stop, walking straight in front of her.

In the initial stunned expression, Lorna hugged her into her arms and said in a calm voice.

"We already know what you are going through, don't worry, we will never tolerate such a thing. No matter what kind of contract you signed with that boy, no matter how much torture you have endured before, we will rescue you. Leave the rest to us, you can rest assured to rely on us, it's all right, already, all right."

Lorna's hands holding Chu are very strong, and from time to time she will gently touch them to show comfort (although the original intention of this action may not be so pure), her tone is heavy and reliable, and her strong armor makes her look like a A reliable knight.

The waist is really thin, ah no.

Feeling the cold "weak" body in her arms, Lorna felt more pity in her heart, and hugged her hands tighter. She could already imagine the appearance of this abused girl lying in her arms and crying bitterly.She will listen to her cry and give her a shoulder, now and always.

"If you want to cry, just cry." Lorna said, with a dignified look on her face.

However, Chu, who was held in her arms, stood blankly.

After a long time, Lorna finally heard a voice from the person in her arms, but the voice was only one word.

"what?"

······
"So." Beside the bonfire at night, Mann looked at the members of the Silver Sword team sitting in front of him with sleepy eyes, and pointed to himself and then to Chu.

"You suspect that I abused her?"

Are you kidding me, did I abuse her?
Mann felt like he couldn't laugh or cry. Have you ever seen this guy in Hiskama's herd tear up a giant beast? I abused her. Sorry, I'm still young, and I want to live longer.

He was sleeping soundly, but was suddenly woken up by Chu, and this was what he was talking about?

"You didn't give her food or let her rest. We saw this with our own eyes. Isn't this abuse?" Dwarf John sat cross-legged on the ground with his hands on his thighs, and said seriously.

Lizardman Jill nodded aside.

"Well, this, you have to give an explanation." Mage Lily said in a low voice, holding the staff in front of her.It has to be said that even though she was pressing for questions, this girl didn't have the slightest momentum.

Lorna was sitting on the far left, she was still hugging Chu's waist, she didn't intend to let go at all, and called it comforting.

Sitting next to Lorna with a blank face, she actually seemed a little cute. How should I put it, she felt that the scene in front of her was quite interesting.

"This..." Mann scratched his hair in distress. He couldn't explain this kind of thing. Could he say that it was a mysterious creature summoned by him from another dimension? No need to eat and sleep.

If he said that, he guaranteed that the way the other party looked at him would change from sadism to psychosis, which would be even more dangerous, okay?

"Actually." Seeing Mann's difficulty in explaining and the members of Silver Sword's eyes becoming more determined, Chu finally said.

"These are all voluntary."

"Voluntary?" The dwarf Mann opened his mouth in astonishment.

"Chu, now that we are here, you don't need to be afraid of him, as long as you tell the truth." Lorna leaned into Chu's ear and said, not sure if it was intentional, her lips were almost touching Chu's earlobe, Let Chu's ears itch a little.

"It is indeed my will." Chu tilted his head and continued calmly.

"This is a way of my practice. Not eating and sleeping can better exercise my own will."

The campfire fell silent for a moment.

"This..." The dwarf scratched his beard blankly.

There is also this way of practice?

"Hmm." Lizardman Jill frowned and thought for a while, then looked at his teammates and said.

"I have indeed heard that some ascetic monks in the north practice fasting and sleeplessness."

Everyone in the Silver Sword team looked at each other in embarrassment.

Lily's face started to turn red, John the Dwarf patted the hip flask on his waist uncomfortably and laughed, Gilmer the Lizardman remained silent, and Lorna's body was stiff.

They knew it was a big misunderstanding.

······
The farce was over soon, Mann yawned and went back to sleep, and several members of the Silver Sword team also returned to their resting places.

Their faces were all gloomy and helpless. After such a big incident, even "hijacked" the client, don't think about them all guessing the result after that, they will probably be unilaterally relieved of the mission again. Mann will not go to the adventurer The association told them that it was already good.

Dwarf John was sitting in the corner dejectedly holding his flagon. He was considering whether he should quit drinking, because he probably wouldn't be able to drink in the next few months.

The lizard man Jill solemnly apologized to everyone, saying that he was not thinking carefully and did not think of the possibility of practicing in the first place.

Lily looked at her teammates worriedly, while Lorna reluctantly announced that they had started to pack their bags. If there were no accidents, Mann would probably let them leave tomorrow morning.

At this time, Chu came to their camp.

It seems that there is no need to wait until tomorrow morning, Lorna thought that Chu was here to relieve the task, thinking dejectedly, and said to Chu.

"We'll leave after we pack our bags."

"Why did you leave?" Chu's tone was rare with some doubts: "Isn't the mission over yet?"

"You mean, you don't plan to release our entrustment?" Lorna asked in disbelief.

Hearing this, several members of the Silver Sword also stopped their movements and looked at Chu.

"Of course not." Chu said logically, which was what Mann meant, and he didn't care about such trivial things.

And in a sense, Lorna and the others took such a move out of good intentions.

Dwarf John hugged his flagon and kissed it, knowing he didn't have to stop drinking.

"Thank you very much." In the corner, Lizardman Jill lowered his head slightly to express his gratitude.

"Hmm." Lily also held the staff a little excitedly and said, "Thank you."

This task is really important to them.

But even so, they chose to give up the mission before to rescue the abused followers, even though it was just an oolong.

"Thank you, thank you." Standing in front of Chu, Lorna nodded awkwardly: "We did such a thing, you can still forgive..."

"It's okay." Chu looked at Lorna, with a faint smile on his face.

"And I don't hate what you did before."

She had never been worried about in this way before.

Lorna looked at Chu who was smiling, and was in a daze.

"Then, take a good rest, we will set off tomorrow morning." After finishing speaking, Chu turned and left.

"Li, Lily..." Lorna stood still, calling Lily's name in a trembling voice.

"What's wrong?" asked the mage Lily behind her.

Lorna turned her head and covered her hot cheeks: "I think I met..."

"What happened?" Lily was taken aback.

Lorna replied: "The destined one..."

The lizard man Jill and the dwarf John rolled their eyes at the same time, and said in unison: "You say that every time."

But Lorna knew that this time the feeling was different from before.
