Chapter 59

“If we can’t take the initiative to attack, we can only strengthen our defense.

Fortunately, we already know that Megiddo's purpose is to collect the Holy Sword and the Book of Control. From now on, please try to stay in a group of more than 2 people and never give Megiddo a chance to take away the Holy Sword. "

"Yes!" x 6

The swordsmen responded one after another. This was when Tohka remembered Shiori, who was not actually a formal member of the Sword of Truth, and hurriedly reminded her.

"Lord Holy Lord of Truth, regarding the new Fire Swordsman, I think she should be turned into a formal member immediately, so that everyone can act together in the future to ensure safety."

"Oh, the fire swordsman who defeated Wang Jian?"

The Holy Lord of Truth showed a thoughtful expression.

"I want to hear the opinions of everyone in the North District. Do you think she is a trustworthy person?"

"She is a novelist. Although her personality is a little weird, she is a person who values ​​love and justice. Maria also likes her very much. I think she can be trusted."

"Although I haven't heard the resonance between that man and the holy sword so far, he is not a bad person."

"I think the Fire Swordsman's determination to kill his relatives with his own hands is worthy of trust."

"Miss Shizhi is a trustworthy person and has taught me many things."

The swordsmen in Shizhi North District all gave positive comments. After all, they were comrades who had fought together several times, and a basic trust relationship had been initially established.

"Oh, since your evaluation is so high, then I will give her trust..."

"Please wait a moment, Lord Holy Lord."

Just when the Holy Lord of Truth was about to nod in agreement, the black-haired lady who had been silent interrupted him.

"What's the matter, Durendal?"]

The Great Teacher of the Gods: Durandal? He was actually named after that indestructible holy sword. This swordsman is absolutely super powerful!

Heel: Wow, my heel hurts when I hear this name.

Devil Bomber: Hey, if you make a noise at this time, this woman is not going to cause trouble, right?

Saxophone player: Ah la ah la, I really look forward to what she will say.

["I don't think we should give our trust to Ms. Itsuka Shiori so easily."

"What did you say?"

Qi Zui frowned, suddenly realizing what the other party wanted to say next.

"The Fire Swordsman has a precedent of betrayal. At the same time, according to the data report, she is also the last person who has the opportunity to come into contact with the Dark Sword Yue Dark, and the Dark Swordsman has done things that endanger the world and fight against Megiddo for two consecutive terms. The evil act of cooperation; everyone in the North District, can you guarantee that every word she says is not a lie?"

Hengjian looked at the four people, his scarlet eyes full of seriousness.

Tohka and others could feel that this person was not deliberately making things difficult for them, but was really thinking about the Sword of Truth organization and worried about another betrayal incident.

"This...I..."

Qisui wanted to stand up and say something, but she still hesitated. She was a swordsman from the same period as Kotori and Niya. She knew that the two of them had been such kind and reliable guys, but in the end they both betrayed the truth inexplicably. sword.

Will Wuhe Shizhi really not make the same mistake again?

The seeds of doubt have been planted in the hearts of the swordsmen in the North District.

"OK OK."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, the Lord of Truth clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"Hengjian, I understand your concerns, but if we can't even take the first step of trust, it will chill the new Holy Blade's heart and lead to tragedy. I think we can give her a way to build trust with us. Chance."

The smile on the face of the Holy Lord of Truth is as heart-warming as that of a saint, and he is simply a super good person. 】

Touzhu: Great, this Holy Lord of Truth is indeed a good person.

White Rabbit Swiftfoot: That's right, a crisis of trust was resolved as soon as I said it.

Ratatosk founder: Did I misunderstand him? Also, having the same face does not necessarily mean they are the same kind of person.

["Ellen, it's up to you to invite her to join the Sword of Truth. Please show our sincerity."

"yes!"

"Okay, let's disband. I hope we can seize Megiddo's flaw as soon as possible and restore peace to the world."

The swordsmen left after their luggage, and Ellen was walking alone in the corridor. She seemed to have thought of something happy. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, adding a bit of charm to her cold temperament. 】

092: Isn’t she right behind you?

Seeing Allen, a usually cold beauty, smiling at odd timings, the audience felt a little bit bad while admiring it.

UMR: Is this bad woman trying to cause trouble?

One Hundred Thousand Miko: Wow, that nasty smile is exactly the same as the expression on that guy's face when he wants to cause trouble.

Monster Sage: We wouldn’t laugh like that, probably.

[Fantasy Bookstore·Wukawai, Shizhi, who rarely had a little free time to write with peace of mind, once again welcomed a strange guest.

The silver-haired woman walked into the store with her arms crossed and looked sharply at Shiori sitting at the table.

"welcome?"

Shiorimoto wanted to greet her warmly as usual, but the woman's overly aggressive gaze made her feel a little uncomfortable, and the greeting in her mouth also had a questioning tone at the end. After all, this person really didn't seem to be here to buy books.

"Are you Itsuka Shiori?"

Allen asked knowingly, and his tone was full of condescension, which made even Shizhi, who had a good temper, feel a little confused, but Shizhi still responded to him with a smile.

"Yes, I am Wuhe Shizhi. What can I do for you?"

"Then there's nothing wrong with that."

Allen took out a Sword of Truth badge from his pocket and showed it to Shizhi.

"My name is Ellen Mira Mathers. I am a swordsman affiliated with the South District of the Sword of Truth. I am here to persuade you to join our South District base."

"Join the South District?"

Shizhi was stunned for a moment, then asked a question.

"If I join the Southern District, can I still fight on an equal footing with everyone in the Northern District?"

Shiori had previously learned about the situation between the North and South Districts from Tohka. Compared to the North District, which is directly responsible for frontline battles, the Southern District's main responsibility is to manage the daily operations of the entire Sword of Truth organization. Therefore, the North District's sword There are far more swordsmen than in the Southern District, and there are only two swordsmen responsible for garrisoning in the Southern District.

Swordsmen in the Southern District cannot leave their posts without permission, so the other two swordsmen have never been seen in the previous Wang Jian incident.

If Shizhi had to choose, she would still prefer friends like Tohka to fight side by side.

"If you join the Southern District, you will naturally become a Southern District swordsman. Compared with acting with the North District swordsmen, you will have more important responsibilities."

"That's it. Please forgive me for refusing. I still want to fight with you all."

Shizhi shook his head. Just when he was about to ask the other party if he could officially join the North District, he found that the other party had already turned around and left.

"Is that so? That's really a pity."

Before leaving, Allen left these words.

"He is really an impatient person."

Shizhi smiled bitterly and continued to write the story about "relying on friendship and fighting with partners" that she had agreed with everyone last time. She did not take this incident seriously, but she would not have thought that it was just a nightmare. start. 】

The great teacher's dead fish eyes: This woman deliberately avoided answering Shizhi's question about whether she could fight alongside the Kita District swordsman. She was inducing Shizhi to refuse her persuasion.

Sister Taiyang: Well, all this woman wants is the fact that Shizhi refuses to join the Sword of Truth, and she plans to obey the Lord of Truth’s orders.

Imperial Dance: Sure enough, she is the enemy within the organization that Kotori mentioned.

Bobo Turtle: It's very possible. I didn't expect such a beautiful lady to be so vicious in her heart.

[Shiori's writing did not last long, and Yoshino's arrival once again interrupted her writing.

"It's not good, Shiori-chan, the editor-in-chief of Kusakabe was attacked by Megiddo!"

"What? Please tell me slowly what the specific situation is."

Shizhi was a little surprised when he heard the name of an acquaintance.

Ryouko Kusakabe, one of the editors-in-chief of the publishing house where Shiori and Yoshino belong, is Yoshino's direct boss. Shiori also received a lot of care from her when he first became a novel writer. He is a straightforward and straightforward person. A kind and outstanding woman.

"Recently, Editor-in-Chief Kusakabe said that she always sees hallucinations, so she asked for leave today to rest at home. I originally wanted to go to comfort her after get off work today, but when I was on the phone with her before, there was a sudden scream over there. , and then I heard this sound.”

Yoshino turned on the call recording, and after a burst of women's screams, a man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Congratulations, you will soon become a part of the omniscient and omnipotent. I am so happy for you, beautiful lady."

It was a polite, mature male voice, and both Shiori and Yoshino present were deeply impressed by this voice.

"It's Woodman!"

Shizhi immediately called out the name of the voice owner and ran out without any hesitation. Yoshino also followed closely behind.

From what Woodman said, it seemed that Kusakabe Ryouko still had some use value to him. If he rushed there now, he might still be able to save her in time.

However, when the two arrived near Kusakabe Ryouko's home, what they saw was a scene of ice and snow. A strong white-haired figure with a height of more than two meters was spitting out frost wantonly. The terrifying posture made them Shiori thought of an unconfirmed urban legend creature called the Yeti.

"Huh? Why did Megiddo appear directly in the real world? Forget it, it's not important. You guy! Where is Miss Kusakabe?"

Seeing the passers-by who were frozen into ice sculptures, Shizhi ran forward quickly, the three volumes of fierce fire ready to go.

"Transform!"

"Fire draws sword!"

"Fire draws the sword! Three volumes of fire! The true red sword will penetrate evil! Burn everything!"

The holy sword wrapped in flames caught the snow monster Megiddo off guard and slashed a spark directly on the opponent's back. The unsteady Megiddo fell forward and stopped swallowing ice from his mouth.

Taking this opportunity, Shizhi pressed the page of "Storm Falcon" in the center, and a fire storm swept out, thawing the surrounding snowy scene.

Because they had not been frozen for a long time, the people who were thawed had no worries about their names other than shivering from the cold.

"Yoshino-chan, get everyone to evacuate quickly and leave this guy to me!"

"OK!"

Yoshino saluted and began to evacuate people skillfully, while looking for the editor-in-chief of Kusakabe.

Shizhi looked back at the snow monster Megiddo who had climbed up, put the flaming sword Agni into the drive, and prepared to kill the opponent in one go. However, as a maker, Woodman naturally could not watch his work being destroyed.

The cross sword was swung, and Shizhi, who sensed the danger, rolled to avoid the attack and looked at the other tall monster behind him.

"Woodman!"

Shizhi's eyes almost burst out with fire. The encounter between an acquaintance and Megiddo reminded her of the death of her best friend, and she questioned him sharply.

"What did you do to Miss Kusakabe?"

"Kusakabe?"

Woodman rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered the surname on the door plate that he had inadvertently scanned when he entered the woman's home.

"Oh, isn't she right behind you?"]

093: Confused

["Hey, isn't she right behind you?"

Woodman's words were like a bolt from the blue. Shizhi looked back blankly at the snow monster Megiddo who had climbed up behind him. He could not connect it with the black-haired editor in any case.

"Don't believe it?"

Looking at Shizhi's expression, Woodman felt that the unhappiness in his heart because Shizhi ruined his plan was instantly relieved. He waved his hand as if to prove his words.

The snow monster Megiddo emitted bursts of white light and turned into a black-haired woman directly in front of Shizhi's eyes.

The woman shivered due to the cold air floating around her body, and looked at Shizhi with a confused look on her face.

"Red armored man? Hiss, it's so cold. Why am I here?"

"Kusakabe..."

Shizhi was about to say something, but saw cold air oozing out of the woman's hands quickly. Before Ryouko Kusakabe could scream, she was wrapped in a large amount of frost. The snow monster Megiddo emerged from it and punched Shizhi directly.

Shizhi's reaction was quite quick, and he raised his sword to block the attack, but he also took a few steps back in embarrassment.

Seeing that Megiddo, the snow monster, could not succeed in attacking, he had no intention of entangled, so he turned around and ran away.
