120, the five who escaped the steel city(1/2)

120, Five people who escaped from the Iron City

Amid the sad shouts of Hu Tao, Glasses hurriedly put on their clothes and left like flying. It was precisely because of her haste that the fact that the idiot "adultery" was further implemented. Now, Hu Tao was completely angry with the idiot and turned her head to ignore her. If it weren't for the idiot's drag, she might have been soaking in the pool and refused to move.

Finally, the idiot finally took the three girls with different expressions to the shore. Not to mention Hu Tao and Xing, even Xiao Bao is now staring at the idiot with his eyes looking at the adulterer, and he would scream from time to time.

Calculate the time and it was eight o'clock now. While wearing clothes, the idiot thought about what method should be used to leave without attracting others' attention. But at this moment, he discovered a fact that surprised him!

"Hi yo ~~~"

Little bread pulled out a backpack from the corner of this simple locker room and carried it on her body. The other two also carried backpacks. The backpack seemed to be the luggage bag he had just packed!

"This is, what's going on."

The idiot pointed at the luggage bag, and the questioning color in his eyes was very strong.

Hu Tao originally wanted to answer, "I want to leave after taking a shower, so I brought it together." But seeing that the idiot's eyes were obviously bad, and the words to his mouth were stuck and he couldn't say it.

"You guys want to just go away after taking a shower, right?"

However, it is very easy for idiots to guess their thoughts, and in one sentence, it hits the point.

Seeing that Hu Tao and Xiao Bao did not answer, the idiot knew that he had made the answer. It was precisely because he was right that he couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning in the face of the consequences of this behavior.

In the middle of the night, carrying such a large luggage, everyone can see that they are trying to escape! They walked through residential areas openly, and there were more than a hundred people who witnessed them? As long as one of these people was a little smarter, all their previous speculations would be deduced in reverse! This means...

Once you leave this bathroom, what is waiting for your group of people will be surrounded by refugees and more strict guards!

The walnuts, bread, and apricots have been changed into clothes.

They looked at the back of the idiot standing in front of the door and saw his tightly clenched fists. Although they were not sure what had happened, they also knew that things seemed to have changed.

The idiot clenched his fists and tried to calm his thoughts. He looked at the door in front of him and slowly opened the door...

Crack, crackle—

The sound of wood burning came from the air.

Looking around, countless torches stood in front of you. In just a few, there were nearly a thousand people surrounding the hot spring pool.

At the forefront of these people were the priests and nuns of the Holy See. Most of the people behind them seemed confused and ignorant. After seeing the idiot, they only showed admiring gazes. But these clergymen were pinching the cross and staring at the idiots with expressionless expressions. In front of the team was the haggard Lancer. Like other clergymen, he had no expression on his face.

Next to Lanse, standing was the glasses that had just left. At this moment, she was also staring at the idiot coldly without any change in expression.

Everything became quieter than before.

In the air, there is only the sound of wood burning and the odor emitted by oil.

The idiot's right hand slowly moved behind him, and the Anmio in his hand slowly pulled out. But when Anmio was about to be pulled out by him, Hu Tao walked up in time and gently pressed the right hand behind him. Although she seemed very nervous, she still held it tightly.

The idiot glanced at Hu Tao beside him, and then he pushed Bread backwards, letting her block Xing. Bread also nodded, stood in his position and was ready to fight at any time.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and no one knew what kind of behavior this matter would end. Should it end with an idiot's compromise? Or... a killing in exchange for freedom?

After a long stalemate, Lanser, the great priest of the Holy See, finally left the crowd and took a few steps forward. He looked at the idiot, smiled, and nodded. The idiot had no reaction to this, or he was waiting for the other party's exact reaction.

"Child, how about you talking with me?"

Lanser spread his hands and pointed to a secluded area next to him. The idiot looked at the bread next to him. The little bread nodded, with an expression that was absolutely fine on his face. At this time, the idiot agreed and followed the priest to the corner next to him where there was no starlight, leaving only the cold snowflakes.

"Where are the heroes going?"

"What are we going to do here?"

"I don't know, it was the people from the Holy See who asked us to come. But what I care more about is whether the hero is willing to accept disciples. I dream of learning that swordsmanship~~~"

The guess sounds came one after another behind him. The idiot stepped on these sounds and came to the ruins. There, Lanse had been waiting for a long time. After seeing the idiot come in, the trace of fatigue on his face was completely relieved.

The idiot came in and stood in front of him.

Lanse was not in a hurry to speak. He seemed to be brewing something. He held the cross with both hands and looked up at the snowy sky. The smile on the corner of his mouth also turned into an incomprehensible bitter smile as the snowflakes slowly landed.

"Is it comfortable to take a bath?"

The idiot nodded and continued to maintain his usual indifference.

Lanser smiled awkwardly and said, "Although I haven't known you for a long time, only two days, I can clearly see that you are not a talker."

“………………………………………………………………………”

"Haha, you are really interesting. If the goddess knew that there were people like you in the world, she would definitely think that the world would be more interesting."

“………………………………………………………………………”

“……………………………You can drink?”

“………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Do you can't drink it, or you won't drink it?"

“………………………………………………………………………”

"Haha, I'm just like talking to myself."

“………………………………………………………………………”

Lanse took out a bottle from his arms, which contained half a bottle of yellow and turbid wine. In today's environment, it was really not easy to find this half bottle of wine.

"I'm not very good at drinking. Originally, I wanted to have two drinks with you. But now, drinking can't solve any problem."

After saying that, Lanse shook the bottle back without caring, and with a bang, the wine splashed everywhere.

He sighed and rubbed his hands on his chest, as if he was a little afraid of the cold and kept breathing.

Perhaps, the snow is indeed too cold and too cruel...

"This city is the only city I have ever remembered."

Lanser found a wider place, sat on a broken brick, looked up at the city slowly covered by snow.

"I am here to make a sword. Later, I met Yueming here, got married here, and became a trainee priest in the church here, taking up a priesthood. Finally, I gave birth to a child here and took root here."

The idiot stood beside him, looking at the middle-aged priest with a slightly bearded face. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth and thoughts seemed to have flown towards the not-so-distant past.

"For me, this is everything about me. Although there will be some sad things happening here, this is still the only place that tolerate me and nostalgia for me, a person who has nothing..."

Lanser smiled, took off the cross from his neck and raised it high.

"Maybe you've heard of it, maybe not. I... am a person who has no past."

"My memory has been interrupted. Twenty years ago, I woke up and didn't know who I was, nor why I appeared here. I spent that time in a daze, and the fact that I didn't pass made me feel very panicked. Because I didn't know what kind of person I was before, nor did I know whether I... was a bad person."

"Ha... Maybe, I'm too suspicious. But on such days, only Yueming was accompanying me and taking care of me. I slowly taught me, who didn't even know my name, didn't even know my words, didn't even know common sense, and couldn't speak, so that I could pass through that nightmare day."

The idiot listened, and after a moment, he walked to the front of Lancer's side, sat on a rock, and signaled that he was listening.

"Later, I held on. Haha... With her company, I held on. Later, my sister-in-law Yueying was born. I still remember the happiness of their family, and even I brought it in."

"Of course, no sadness has happened along the way. Yueming's parents left... in a hurry. Before their death, their parents called me to my side and asked me to take good care of the two sisters. I am sincerely grateful to these two couples who treat me like their own son..."

"I helped bury them, and then took care of the two sisters Yueming and Yueying. During the day, I missed the iron and she came to the hospital. At night, we had dinner together and talked about the whole day. Finally one day, I proposed to her."

Tears were hanging on the corners of Lanse's eyes, and the silly smile on her face was still so obvious.

"This city has witnessed all of me...I, and I have also witnessed the development of this city over the past twenty years."

"After the recommendation of the villagers, I put down my hammer and became a priest. Everyone is good people, and I began to feel that helping others would be such a happy thing. Looking at the people in this city laughing, watching them happy, happy with them, and sorrow with them, it became my greatest satisfaction."

"I... love this city. This is the place where I gave birth to me and raised me. I don't care what kind of person I was twenty years ago. At least now, here... I am Father Lancer. An ordinary little priest who can only do his little effort to be what he can do."

Lancer finished his words.

His gaze continued to turn to the distance, as if he was already obsessed with the snow scene in the distance. The idiot looked at him silently, waiting for him to give a final conclusion.

"so……"

Lanser stood up and stretched his hands behind him. When his hands were pulled out from behind, two black, long and short shark-toothed knives appeared in his hands.

When the idiot saw these two short knives, he stood up like a conditioned reflex, stepped back with one foot, holding Anmi's hand tightly.

The two short swords have very unique shapes, and the blades are almost crescent-shaped. Generally speaking, the swords of this length must ensure the longest attack distance, but this arc completely violates the basic concept of facing the enemy. Moreover, the shark teeth are too terrifying, with extremely sharp roots, and the arc barbs make it look extremely lethal. Even if they are brought a little bit, a large piece of meat will probably be dropped.

Seeing that the idiot responded, Lan Se quickly said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I don't mean that. These two knives are not as special as yours. They were made by me when I was idle for a long time. I originally thought that this was destined to be a handicraft, but I didn't expect that this time, I would actually come in handy."

Lan Se clumsyly pinched the two double swords and waved them a few times. Then, he nodded to the idiot and said-

"You'd better go."

"…………………………Walk…………?"

"Yes, leave the Iron City. Your female companions carry so much luggage. I guess they want to leave overnight? Think about it carefully, this is also the business of our residents of the Iron City. The disaster of the earthquake is coming on our heads, and the arrival of bandits is also coming for us. We should not implicate you at all."

Lan Se pretended to be light and tricked the knife in his hand, but after all, he had never used martial arts. The knife in his hand fell down without paying attention. Fortunately, his feet flashed fast, otherwise his toes would have been cut off.

"Haha, don't look at me like this, I'm still very good at fighting!"

Lan Se picked up the shark-tooth knife awkwardly, carefully put it into the scabbard, picked up the cross again, and smiled.

"I will be responsible for explaining to everyone that this is our own war, not yours. To protect our city, it is not a savior or hero, but the unity of all of us. So, you can leave. Take your people, go."

Lanse's voice was filled with loneliness, which sounded like the last words of a dying man. The idiot carefully analyzed his words, thinking about whether he was really touching or pure acting. However, when he made a way out, let the idiot return to Bread and others, and ordered other priests and nuns to make way out, the idiot finally knew that he was serious.

"Let's go."

Lanse pretended to wave his arms to the crowd around him, and said softly. The idiots slowly left the residential area and walked to a sparsely populated land. After letting everyone leave, Lanse called an idiot and took him into a grass.
