MTL - I Like This Dream!-v2 Chapter 56

This year's beast tide on the Tibes defense line did not live up to the name of the "big beast tide" once every ten years.

The number of alien beasts born before the winter has exceeded that of previous years. If a researcher can count carefully, they will find that the number of beasts with crystal nuclei is larger, they grow faster, and they are more bloodthirsty. The situation is even worse than the previous big beast tide. Be scary. Not to mention that the first snow was nearly half a month earlier, and many preparations had not been completed. Even the commander of the defense line was not on the fort when the first snow fell. As if the long prelude to the horror movie has ended, the Grim Reaper has wandered above the defense line, waiting for a good harvest.

However, if you go to interview the residents of the Tibes defense line about their feelings about this beast horde, the most common feedback you can get is: What the hell? This is the end?

The once-in-a-decade beast swarm came fiercely and went away like a gust of wind, and the anticlimactic level made the civilians and soldiers who were ready to bleed and cry bewildered. The first snow came, and hordes of alien beasts came, hordes of alien beasts... No, no, no, they didn't leave, they died! Light! up!

People in the whole city could see a light that was so bright that it could blind people's eyes. After the light ended, the densely packed animals on the city wall were cleaned up. Even the city wall itself was missing a piece, as if there was an impatient creature in the sky. The cleaners thought it was troublesome to clean up one by one, so they simply dug away the strange beasts, the wall and a large area of ​​the ground. Then the snow stopped, and the snow clouds that had been refusing to leave for several hours in the past withdrew, running so fast! The onlookers swore that the big guy seemed to be being pushed behind his ass, and flew south non-stop, so fast that it fell apart. Many clouds fell behind embarrassingly, were torn apart and stayed where they were, and it rained a few times The snow scattered into ordinary clouds.

The weather of this generation of the defense line seems to have forgotten that it has already entered winter, and the temperature has risen a few degrees again. It was not until a month later that the next snow came. It was still a lukewarm, wet snow that quickly melted. What should the surviving wild beasts do, they are not like the usual crazy monsters chasing the wind and snow, and they will hide when they see people. Residents of the Tibes line of defense ushered in the first winter in history, where you can spend hunting and enjoying the snow.

If it weren't for the old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant animals without crystal nuclei who would not be instigated by the beast tide, Anxu's two shots would be enough to cause some problems in Tibes' ecological balance.

Anxu was awakened by a strong sense of hunger, and found herself lying on the ground, with Lydia and Jane watching her from about two meters away.

"You're finally awake." Lydia said flatly, "Are you okay?"

An Xu was stunned for a while, remembering the content of the joke he had with Lydia when he woke up from a coma, he couldn't help laughing at the way the other party read the standard lines seriously. "It's okay, I'm hungry." She stretched her waist, feeling her buttocks were hard, "Damn, I slept on a rock? Why don't you give me a quilt anyway?"

"I gave you the quilt," Jane said helplessly, "you burned the quilt."

Lydia went out to bring food and water. An Xu sat on the ground and devoured it. While touching the ground behind her, she found that it was not a stone or a floor, but a bit like glass. Why did she sleep on the glass? Looking up again, this is not her room, but more like a temporary shack.

"We can't touch you," Jane explained. "Besides, it's almost spring."

"what?"

"When I came back, you were already lying here. Lydia was unconscious and didn't know much about it. Let those who have been present tell the story." Jane waved outside, and a young soldier walked in. Looking at An Xu, he seemed so excited that he was about to die.

He took a few breaths, and said as if attending an idol handshake meeting, "Master Thunder Queen..."

"…what?"

The soldier quickly changed his words: "Then, then, Goddess..."

Jane slapped the soldier on the back, making him stagger.

An Xu took two steps back with goosebumps all over his body, completely unaware when his settings changed dramatically. That's all for dream fragments, why is the title I got after that even more secondary than before? A person who looks so #ordinary and very normal calls you a goddess in public, the horror is almost equivalent to the courier shouting "Miss Evil Eye, please come down to get the courier" downstairs, okay!

"As you can see, everyone is, um, admires you." Jane said awkwardly, and patted Xiaobing again, "Get to the point!"

The soldiers began to tell stories.

The savior who descended from the sky entered the battlefield and rescued the people who were caught off guard by the beast tide. However, she herself was over-consumed, fell down covered in blood, was bitten by the thunder, and struggled on the line of life and death until now. There are no white birds and black priests in this story, no falling fire and running sheep, only the savior who fell to the ground shortly after the wall fell. The thunder and lightning that flaunted its claws wrapped her in a cocoon, and from time to time, the remaining beasts would jump into the cocoon and be turned into coke by electricity. The rescued people had nothing to do about it, they could only build a hut for her to shelter from the wind and rain, and prayed every day that she would be safe and sound.

The soldier's descriptions are woefully lacking in flair, but they more than make up for it in the warmth of the sentences. His voice was trembling, and he repeated how much the people on the defense line thanked her, how many people she had saved with her kind rescue, and his eyes turned red when he said it. Jane patted him on the shoulder to let him go back. The soldier saluted her before leaving, and also saluted An Xu.

"His team was standing guard on the city wall at the time, and more than half died. If you hadn't come, the other half would not have been alive." Jane said, "Lydia was thrown out when you fell, and she had a broken bone, but healed Or healed her. Your 'cocoon' just disappeared this morning, so you're fine."

She was silent for a moment, An Xu didn't reply, she was still immersed in the speechless "Who is the noble savior that the soldier said". The general walked up to her and bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry," Jane said, "I used to hate you and think you were a **** who didn't care about people here. I apologize for that because prejudice clouded my eyes."

"It's okay." An Xu said casually, feeling that he had never been bothered by this. It's not normal to lose favor if you refuse to join the faction.

"Thank you, for your forgiveness and selfless help to us." The general straightened up and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Honestly, I don't know how to thank you. You don't plan to marry my sister, don't want my allegiance , the wealth and status of the Stewart family probably doesn't appeal to you. Your power is so great that I, or even all of us, seem to have nowhere to help you. What do you want, Miss Sullivan? Without damaging the line of defense Under the premise of being with the Stewart family, I will do my best."

Oh, and the rewards session. An Xu thought clearly. She thought for a while and said, "Be friends with me."

Jane looked at her in amazement, and blurted out, "What?"

"I said, you and I should be friends." An Xu replied.

This is the result of careful consideration. It seems free to choose rewards independently, but in fact, there are restrictions. The party that must distribute the rewards can get them. What could Jane offer her? As she said, wealth, status, but these things are of no use to An Xu, and she doesn't intend to play for hegemony. As for things like "Jane's Promise", it's like exchanging favors for one time. It's not worthwhile to turn favorability into disposable items.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the most economical and cost-effective choice to keep the favorability so that you can receive the missions provided by the other party without joining the camp in the future.

Jane froze for a moment, then nodded with a big smile. She was shocked by the other party's thoughtfulness without asking for anything in return, and at this moment, Anna really fell. Sullivan became a friend.

After the general left, someone came in again.

Lydia stared at the door coldly, David smiled wryly at her, and saluted Anxu solemnly.

An Xu was touching the vitrified ground, thinking that the birds, monsters, and sheep from before were probably fragments of another dream, and he was happy to return to this dream, obviously this dream was happier. Speaking of it, the high temperature that can make the ground look like this is really scary, plus I have been in a coma for so long, I am actually safe and refreshed, it is good to dream, if it is changed to reality, I would have died and turned into scum... She wandered for a while before realizing The adjutant, who was silently maintaining his salute posture, was taken aback.

"What's the matter with you?" she asked.

"I'm not asking for your forgiveness. Everything is my own decision and has nothing to do with the general." The adjutant said.

An Xu looked at him blankly, feeling that there are so many people talking to themselves today.

"Your status as the last Sullivan and God's Blessed One is very important. When you drove away the beasts as you wished and regarded the criminals as inhumans, I foolishly thought that you were malicious to the border people and determined to frame you."

"Frame me?" An Xu asked. In fact, she still wanted to ask what criminals were, but she thought it would be better for her to find out the key points.

"Yes. Thank you for your generous rescue, I would like to use my life..."

"Wait!" Seeing that his knife was on his neck, An Xu quickly interrupted, "Why did you frame me?"

"I bribed the priest, and put bait that could attract strange beasts in the herb bag of Mr. Ascetic Monk. After you saw it through..." The adjutant looked at An Xu's blank expression and choked, "You, you don't know?"

Lydia also stared at An Xu with a strange look on her face.

"Forget it is not the point!" An Xu waved his hand and asked eagerly, "Is there such a bait?"

"A wandering herbalist concocted it by accident, and that herbalist has wandered nowhere."

"What about the bait?"

"I have burned it." The adjutant looked regretful.

"Why are you burning it!" An Xu wailed.

What a great prop! You don't need to chase the beasts to attract them! Just burn it, burn it! She was immersed in the grief that she could not get the desired reward after finishing the main quest without completing the branch quest. David saw her slapping her thigh sadly and kept patting, neither was she stabbed by a knife, nor was she put down, so he had to be careful. Called out: "Master God's Favored One?"

"What are you doing?" An Xu said lazily, "You can go if it's okay."

"Aren't you going to punish me?" David asked in surprise.

"Why should I kill you if I have nothing to do?" An Xu asked back.

"But I framed you..."

"I'm fine." An Xu said nonchalantly, "Your life is of no use to me, if you have the time, why not find another bait for me."

The natural confidence in her words left David speechless for a moment. That is another kind of self-confidence that is different from Jane, as if a lion laughs at an ant's trap. Those favored by the gods are indeed qualified to do so, and everyone who has experienced that day will think so.

The title of Xue Anna was replaced by "Queen of Thunder". In fact, if the monastery hadn't tried their best to stop her, more people would tend to call her "Goddess of Thunder". Her prestige permeated the border like wind, and the mountain people called her as if they were calling the name of a god. When Eve got the news, she realized that she had made a big mistake, and she was as strong as Anna. At Sullivan's level, her status and title are not the most important thing.

Lydia's gaze was more piercing, and for a moment David saw a sneer in it. Does she know more? Does the favored person she follows know all the tricks? David couldn't be sure, maybe all speculation about the mind of the God-favored one would end in failure. He was also shocked by the thunder and lightning that day. Even a person like him who advocates wisdom over strength has to admit that many common senses cannot be applied to this girl.

The adjutant saluted again with complicated emotions, and exited the temporary hut.
