Chapter 58 58: [White Church] The downward journey

Hardfer's weak voice was not heard by the two people who had already walked away.

Under the faint light of the eternal candle, Rabin carried Anji and slowly walked down.

Although they didn't encounter any monsters, the inexplicable gravity still made their walk very difficult.

Most of this gravity comes from Anji. Without Rabin's help, she would not be able to climb out of the cave in two days even if she rolled and crawled.

Although they are currently going down.

During the silent and long journey, Rabin naturally asked:

"Angie, what did you and Hardfer say?"

His tone was just a little confused, not a question, which made Anji quietly breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

She showed a bright smile and said in a playful tone:

"Hehe, I just said to him: 'Thank you, I took the sword away, and I will leave it to you!'"

After hearing what Anji said, Rabin laughed a few times and did not ask any more questions.

because--

"Captain Rabin, is it really okay for you to just let Hadfer go?"

Seeing Anji asking such a difficult question with a simple and honest smile, Rabin couldn't help but sigh and replied helplessly:

"Hey, little girl, there are some things that you just need not to tell anyone - just like I won't tell others about the fact that Hadfer saved you and you whispered to him."

Anji blinked and looked sideways at the kind-hearted leader of the knights.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and then they smiled in unison, as if they had reached some kind of "consensus."

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Although Angie's left rib and knee still hurt, and the row of negative buffs were still there, it didn't hinder her thinking - because she had gradually adapted to this feeling of pain on her body.

Along the way, Anji accumulated too many doubts. She wanted to know the answers, but she was a little worried: Are there any "cross-border" issues among these questions?

Just as she was thinking about how to speak, Rabin's voice came to her ears:

"Little guy, what's on your mind?"

"ah?"

Anji suddenly raised her head in deep thought, turned her head, and saw the concerned and sincere eyes of the other party.

This made her feel at ease a little, she smiled, followed his wishes, and said what was in her heart:

"Captain, can I ask you a few questions?"

The cautiousness and caution in Angie's tone made Rabin smile awkwardly. He guessed that this little guy was going to ask some "troublesome questions" again.

"Just tell me, I will try my best to answer."

Anji no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, and asked methodically:

"Captain, why did you capture Hardfer alive before? What is a gift? Why couldn't Hardfer get it? Why was Senior Pedra dismissed from the position of deputy commander?"

Anji said all these questions at once, just to let the other party have an expectation. If you ask them one after another, it will easily give people the feeling of "asking endlessly", which will inevitably make people feel conflicted.

This has another advantage - even if the conversation is interrupted due to an accident, she can continue to ask these questions in the future.

Because she really wanted to know the answer - except for the last question, which was just incidental.

After Anji finished these questions, Rabin just thought for a moment, then cleared his throat, and then said seriously:

"The reason why we don't dare to kill Hadfer is because of his special abilities. While he can change the state of objects, he also has a big killer move - 'revenge'."

"revenge?"

Angie repeated the word in confusion and whispered: "Is it like 'rebound damage'?"

"It's a bit similar, but there are some differences. He can multiply the injuries he received back to the things that hurt him."

Seeing that she still looked confused, Rabin smiled and explained: "This 'thing' can be inanimate or animate, and it does not have to be a human being. But when he used this

After gaining the ability, he will briefly fall into a coma, so Hardfer will never use this ability unless necessary."

"I see……"

Anji lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke again: "If someone severely injures Hardfer, will it be easy to be killed by his 'revenge' ability?"

"Yes. Oh, little guy, don't blame me for not reminding you. After all, I don't think you wanted to kill us, and Hardfer has no scruples about us... If I reminded you at that time, it would only make him

More arrogant."

"It's okay, it's okay~ It doesn't have any impact anyway, and I roughly guessed it."

Looking at the guilty-looking middle-aged man in front of her, Anji smiled and shook her head, and then continued to ask as planned:

"What is the gift? You once said before that Hardfer cannot be allowed to get it, otherwise the entire Glosk barrier may be lost."

Rabin noticed that Angie repeated his original words almost completely, which showed that she really cared about this matter.

However, even though he was mentally prepared, Rabin still hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking:

"Little guy, I'm sorry... Actually, this sentence was said by Master Slade. As ordinary knights, we only know that 'gift' is a treasure used to maintain the barrier, and it is also the most important treasure in the hands of every lord.

.But as to why it can’t be taken away by Hardfer, I don’t know..."

Angie opened her mouth in surprise, paused for a while, and then said slightly nervously: "You... this... Mr. Slade won't blame you? This kind of thing should be top secret, right?"

"Gift" is the most important treasure in every lord's hand...but the "lord" here must also include Slade!

She just wanted to ask about this word she had never heard before, but she didn't expect that this question would directly hit her home!

Rabin smiled bitterly, held it in for a long time, and then muttered: "...Just think of it as a thank you gift for staying with us. To be honest, if we weren't looking for the treasure, you should have gone back by now.

Lord Slade did say that you cannot tell outsiders about the 'gift'. But you have already done this for her, so naturally you can't be considered an 'outsider', right?"

Rabin seemed to be patiently explaining to Angie, but in fact he was trying to convince himself. If Master Slade found out that he told others about the "gift" without permission, he would definitely be punished.

After sighing silently, Rabin couldn't help but glance at the white bone helmet on the girl's head. As the oldest member of the group in Glossk, he knew its side effects and was even "fortunate" to witness it with his own eyes.

Anji was keenly aware of the other person's gaze on the top of her head, and saw that he was hesitant to speak. Suddenly, he was excited and asked hurriedly: "Has anyone else used this bone helmet?"

Seeing that she had reacted, Rabin no longer hid it, and a very bitter smile appeared on his face: "Yes... Hadfer also used it."

This sentence struck Anji like thunder, leaving her a little overwhelmed.

For a time, many things seemed to have vague answers. For example, why Hardfer showed such strong hostility when he saw her for the first time, and why his body became like that, and...

Why should he save himself...

"Angie? Are you okay?"

Rabin quickly called the girl's name, because her breathing seemed a little disordered and her face was paler than before. This made him involuntarily start to worry: Has the concentration of the curse here begun to increase?

However, Anji just shook her head gently, took a deep breath silently, quickly adjusted her mood, and then said in an extremely calm tone: "I'm fine...Thank you for your concern."

Rabin looked at her for a while, and after making sure that the other party was not trying to show off his strength, he spoke again:

"As for Pedra's matter..." He paused, and his expression became a little melancholy, "Pedra saved a female knight from the Comoran Territory, named 'Flish Neste'

'. Not only did he heal the other party's injuries, but he also secretly let her escape, which made Mr. Slade very angry..."

"……ha?"

The previous complicated emotions were instantly replaced by a stronger sense of shock. Anji subconsciously opened her eyes wide and looked at the laughing Rabin in astonishment.

What...what's the situation? That serious middle-aged knight who always has a sullen face and is extremely old-fashioned, saved the female knight of the Comorra Territory?

After her brain shut down for a few seconds, Angie finally reacted: "Wait a minute! Neste... doesn't that have the same last name as Jellyfish Lady?"

"Jellyfish girl?" Rabin was a little confused, and then he suddenly said, "Oh, you mean Marda, right? Yes, they both have the same surname, because Flish is her sister... It's just the two of them.

The relationship is not good."

As if he was a little tired, Rabin stopped and took a few breaths before continuing: "...It seems that we are almost at the bottom of the cave."

Anji suddenly became energetic and looked down. At the end of the candlelight, there was a vaguely visible step, and further down, it seemed to be a flat ground.

Hope was right in front of her eyes. Anji felt as if she had an endless energy in her body. She no longer asked about those old things and just wanted to go down quickly.

If he could reach the open space earlier, Rabin's burden could be relieved.

The moment this idea came to her mind, she took the first step and stepped on the next step, and then she felt empty under her feet.

"Angie! Be careful!"

At the critical moment, Rabin reacted quickly and quickly pulled her back. Fortunately, most of Anji's body weight was hanging on him, otherwise it would have been quite dangerous.

The half-collapsed stone steps made Anji feel frightened. She thanked Rabin repeatedly, and at the same time cursed herself in her heart: Why are you still not careful enough?

It must be the curse that makes her brain less efficient.

With the help of his teammates, Anji carefully stepped over the broken steps, but noticed some fine stones floating nearby.
