The moment the girl came closer, Leorio felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet to his spine.
His body retreated subconsciously, and his palms were placed on the saber at his waist.
The girl stood there, looking at Leorio with a half-smile. Her innocent appearance made it difficult for people to believe that she was a witch who killed without blinking an eye.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense and subtle.
Leorio's mind once again thought of the children who died tragically in front of him.
He gritted his teeth angrily, and with a clang, he drew out his sword.
This is the lobby of the Adventurers Association.
Someone showed off his weapon, which immediately attracted the attention of others.
"I'm going to kill you!"
Leorio roared, his body exuding golden fighting spirit, making him look like an enraged lion.
Thetis was still standing there quietly, like an innocent girl, staring straight at Leorio.
"Leorio!"
Bai Yueguang tried to stop this farce.
"Do you know that this woman killed my students, more than thirty children, and died in front of me like that?"
Leorio roared.
This incident has been his nightmare these days, and he can't get rid of it or forget it.
How could he treat such a cruel woman as one of his own?
"Leolio, the Sethis you are talking about is dead. Don't be impulsive. You can't beat her now!" Bai Yueguang said hurriedly.
"Since you are dead, why are you still standing here?" Leorio asked loudly.
He was so disappointed at the moment.
Originally, he was ready to wake up and follow Lin Xi from now on, but...
He couldn't accept that he could even take in such a vicious person.
Bai Yueguang sighed, knowing that Leorio couldn't listen to anything at this moment.
Don't encourage others to do good without going through their suffering.
Bai Yueguang was just afraid that Leorio would suffer a loss, so he dissuaded her. Now it seems that it is impossible to end this matter without letting him vent.
Whoosh!
When emotions brew to a certain level, it is no longer thoughts that control body actions.
Leorio took action, slashing down with the sword in his hand.
bite!
Sethis flicked her fingers lightly and flicked the knife elsewhere.
Leorio held the knife in both hands and took a step forward.
bump!
The soles of his feet almost crushed the floor tiles. Taking advantage of this momentum, Leorio struck again with his second sword.
Unexpectedly, before he could get close to him, his sword was pinched by the opponent's two fingers.
Sethis pulled her palm back, and the sword flew out instantly.
Hoo ho ho!
The sword rotated, and with a final sound, it cut into the roof beam.
There was no weapon in his hands, but Leorio still didn't give up. He clenched his fists with both hands and hit the girl's nose straight.
Seth's body slid backwards strangely, just in time to avoid the opponent's punch.
Facing Leorio who was about to attack again, Thetis finally spoke: "I won't be polite if you come again."
Leorio, who was in a rage, could not listen. If he was afraid, he would not take action.
He knew from the beginning that he was no match for this girl, but in order to get rid of the guilt in his heart, he took action without hesitation.
Whoosh!
boom!
Leorio's body flew straight out, and finally hit the corner of the hall before stopping.
In the hall, the other adventurers who witnessed this scene all looked stunned.
Not understanding the cause and effect, they sympathized with Sethis at first, but it was outrageous to be hacked by a middle-aged man with a knife.
But soon, they discovered that she was no ordinary little girl, she was so powerful that she could take on a sword with bare hands.
And just now, with one blow, the opponent was kicked away.
Seeing Leorio lying limply in the corner with blood bleeding from the corner of his mouth, everyone looked at Thetis with fear in their eyes.
What is the origin of this little girl? Her strength is truly terrifying!
He didn't use fighting spirit or magic. He knocked the opponent down in just a few strokes. He was too strong.
Sure enough, people cannot be judged by their appearance!
There were so many adventurers in the hall, but Bai Yueguang was the only one who ran over to check on Leorio's injury.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
Leorio's ribs were broken several times, and blood flowed from his mouth uncontrollably, as if his internal organs were injured.
"Thetis, you are too harsh!"
Bai Yueguang glared angrily at the girl standing over there.
Thetis's expression did not change at all, she just said lightly: "I don't know how to be gentle, and what's more, I just used my feet."
"You...you see, she can never be a partner...ahem!"
Leorio struggled to speak out and coughed up a large mouthful of blood.
"Stop talking, I'll take you to treatment right now."
Bai Yueguang was afraid that Leorio would die, so she carried him away.
Thetis also followed.
…
In Lin Xi's room, following the dazzling golden light, Leorio, who was originally seriously injured, came back to life with full health.
"Lord Lin Xi, this guy must not stay."
Just as he recovered, Leorio pointed at Thetis in protest.
"I know she was once a member of The End of the Gods." Lin Xi's voice was calm.
It was not his intention to take in Sethis, he just had no objection.
"Sir Lin Xi, this person is cruel and cruel, and her brain is not normal. Keeping her around will definitely be a disaster."
Leorio glared fiercely at the girl opposite.
"I'm in my right mind," Sethis protested.
"Lord Lin Xi!"
"She is my spiritual servant now, and taking her in has nothing to do with Lin Xi." At this moment, Landuo finally spoke.
Looking at this woman with blond hair and golden eyes, Leorio felt a little scared for no reason.
This woman became fierce, but even more so than that girl Thetis.
He still clearly remembers the scene of taking out the opponent's heart with one hand.
"The sins of death disappear. The Sethis you see now is no longer the Sethis before."
Lando said as he walked towards Leorio.
Leorio felt a huge aura coming over him, and his body unconsciously retreated, retreated, and retreated again.
He didn't stop until there was no way back.
"I know better than you how cruel Thetis was during her lifetime, so I can understand how you feel now."
Lan Duo whispered softly, and his body naturally exuded an aura that was so holy that it was not stained by dust.
Leorio didn't dare to look directly into the other person's eyes, as those golden pupils seemed to be able to see through his heart.
"Then why did you..."
"You want to ask me why I keep her?" Landuo smiled softly and asked without answering, "Do you think she is alive or dead now?"
"Um?"
Leorio was stunned, and instinctively raised his head, just in time to meet Lando's golden eyes.
"What is life? What is death?" Landuo asked another question.
Leorio felt as if his thoughts were suppressed by a mysterious force, his mind went blank, and he had no idea how to answer.
He couldn't even figure out why the other party said these incomprehensible words.
Is it to absolve that girl?
Is that kind of person worthy of forgiveness?
Just when Leorio started to think wildly, Lando's voice sounded again: "I'll tell you the answer!"
After saying that, Lando actually stretched out his finger and poked Leorio.
Leorio was startled. He wanted to hide, but his body did not move. He wanted to make a sound, but his mouth was out of control.
Until Lando's slender fingers touched the center of his eyebrows.
Buzz!
For a moment, something seemed to pop into my mind.
Lando had already retracted his fingers, but Leorio's mouth was open and his eyes were protruding, as if he had experienced great fear.
With a plop.
Leorio's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground.
"What is that? What is that?"
Leorio supported his body with his hands, shaking uncontrollably.
wrong!
It was not his body that was trembling, but his soul.
Leorio was extremely frightened. At that moment, he actually received the feeling from Thetis' soul when she was being trained.
In just a moment, he couldn't bear it anymore.
The feeling of my soul being torn apart, every second seems like a month ago.
As for Thetis, it took four whole days.
Four days!
Can't imagine!
Thetis's soul was crushed and kneaded again. Leorio shuddered just thinking about the feeling of life being worse than death.
The so-called training is like breaking a porcelain bottle you don't like, mashing it, pouring water in it, mixing it with new materials, and recasting it into a bowl.
What is a living?
What is death?
At this moment, Leorio understood a little bit.
The Sethis in front of her is a new model that Lando kneaded with her own hands. Although it still maintains the original components, the main body of the soul is already different.
Thetis is the replica of Lando's personality.
She is Landuo's spiritual servant, and she can never break free from this shackles.
If a person dies, it can be solved once and for all; but it is not easy for a shackled spiritual servant to be freed.
This is not Lan Duo's true intention; this is the tyranny of the "Nine Netherworld Sutra" itself.
For those who cultivate demons, once they use their methods, nothing is simple.
After understanding this, Leorio found himself suddenly relieved.
He no longer hates this girl.
The fate the other party received was even more tragic than he imagined!
Now Leorio's emotions have turned into fear and jealousy of Lando.
Being an enemy of this woman is simply more terrifying than death!
It would be unimaginable for my soul to fall into the hands of this woman!
It took a long time before Leorio stood up from the ground. His face was still ugly, and his eyes avoided the gaze directed by Lando.
"Do you have any questions now?" Landuo asked softly.
"No."
"Then I hope you won't attack Thetis rashly next time, she is mine now!"
"I remember."
Leorio was like a tamed cat, he did not dare to resist at all against Lando in front of him.
"Then let's talk. I'll take Thetis out."
Landuo left with Sethis.
It was only at this moment that Leorio realized that his hands were still shaking slightly.
He never wanted to experience that kind of ravage on his soul again.
"Leolio, what did Sister Landuo do to you just now? Why have you changed so much?"
Bai Yueguang came over curiously.
Leorio shook his head, he didn't want to say more.
"Leolio, are you here to see us when you come to the association this time?" Bai Yueguang changed the question.
After her reminder, Leorio remembered his purpose of coming here.
He came to seek refuge with Lin Xi.
However, after realizing how terrifying Landuo was, he flinched a little.
Being by Lin Xi's side means having to deal with that woman often.
"I want to stay with Mr. Lin Xi."
After some ideological struggle, Leorio finally said these words.
He couldn't let the realization he had made go to waste.
He couldn't hold back here just because he was afraid of a woman.
He is now in his thirties, and he no longer wants to live a cowardly life.
How many thirty years are there in life?
He wants to make his life wonderful again.
He wanted to follow Lin Xi and embark on that mysterious adventure.
Even if he lost his life because of this, he didn't want to live alone for the rest of his life with regrets.
"You don't have to worry about the contract, you can still live your old life." Lin Xi said.
"No, this has nothing to do with the contract, this is my own decision."
Leorio was resolute, he couldn't look back here, he was afraid of becoming his decadent self again.
Lin Xi looked at Bai Yueguang, who was winking at him. This girl seemed to like the lively atmosphere with many people.
"Staying with me may cause all kinds of troubles. If you have this awareness, then stay."
Now that she has made a contract with the other party, Lin Xi doesn't care if there is another person eating beside her.
"Thank you, sir!" Leorio stood up straight and saluted.
"You can call me by my first name from now on."
As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, Bai Yueguang over there was already cheering.
"Leolio, we will be our own people from now on." Bai Yueguang was very enthusiastic.
"Please give me more advice in the future." Leorio smiled.
"The one over there is Qiangwei, whom you know, and the one over there is Sister Huang Quan, she is very powerful." Bai Yueguang introduced to Leorio.
While he was talking, there was a knock on the door outside.
It turned out to be a staff member, saying that the city lord's palace was hosting a banquet and wanted to invite Lin Xi to the banquet.
Lin Xi said "I don't have time" and sent him away.
He likes to eat, but that kind of banquet is obviously not just about eating.
He doesn't want to be hypocritical with those self-righteous upper class people!
"Lin Xi, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to stay in Mesai City?"
Bai Yueguang asked a question that everyone was concerned about.
Lin Xi was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "I want to go to the town of 'Godery'."
If he couldn't find Shanna, he wouldn't be able to rest assured.
"I'll prepare the carriage!"
Leorio immediately took action and went out to prepare the carriage.
"Why don't we wait for Sister Landuo to come back and go together?" Bai Yueguang asked.
"Landuo knows how to find us."
Lin Xi just mentioned that she wanted to go back to Godery Town, and now she couldn't sit still.
He would like to find out how Shanna disappeared.
If it's a natural disaster, there's nothing we can do.
If it's man-made, don't blame him for being cruel!
