Chapter 212
Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire
Once upon a time, there was a kind woman, her voice was so pleasant, her face was so beautiful, she helped the poor not to starve, she persuaded the rich not to fall, the whole kingdom respectfully called her âSaintessâ, even the young prince fell in love with her.
She followed the ancient doctrines that gradually filled the people of the kingdom with hope for life. However, the good times did not last long. The kingdom sent a plague and a large number of people died. The Saintess could not bear to see people die, so she went against the doctrines and used witchcraft to save the people.
However, the people did not thank her. Instead, they felt angry because she violated the teachings. One night, they tied her up and sent her to the square to be burned at the stake. In the flames, the face of the Holy Lady was no longer beautiful, the voice of the Holy Lady was no longer pleasant, and the people laughed happily.
The Saintess was angry and she began to curse.
âFools, I curse you. Every night, when I suffer the burning of flames, you will also suffer the burning pain of the flames and transform into monsters in the flames. Only blood can give you a moment of peace.â
The story is simple, like a fairy tale, but a cursed fairy tale.
Kuro told the content to the people around him and the others looked over again. Crowe looked at the plaque carefully for a while and pushed his glasses.
âMr. Kuro, are you under too much pressure after the end of the war? This is not a trivial language. It is the universal language of the world. How can you be wrong?â
âBullshit, this is clearly a story, there are no rules and laws.â Kuro was unusually sure.
That was what he saw.
âYou, you!â
However, just as he finished speaking, he saw an old staff member pointing at him at the door. He looked extremely frightened, as if he had seen a demon.
âWitch! You are also a witch!â
The old man rushed over ferociously. âAll witches deserve to die!â
Bang!
Several staff members behind him pressed him to the ground.
âNero, youâre starting again!â
âThatâs right. Every time someone says that, you will go crazy. Hey, look at the people. This is Marine.â
âWhat witch? There are so many people like you in the kingdom. We canât even join the Marine. Damn it.â
âWitch! Witch!â The old man was pressed to the ground and could not move, but he still raised his head and shouted at Kuro.
One of the staff members smiled apologetically at Kuro. âMarine, Iâm sorry, this old man will go crazy from time to time. Youâve seen the content, Iâll open the door for you.â
âSomehowâ¦â
Kuro bit his cigar and blew out a mouthful of smoke. He pointed his thumb at himself and said, âIâm a man. What witch? Whatâs wrong with this old man?â
âLieutenant Colonel, this old man will often be like this. As long as someone comes over and some people see this plaque like you, then this old man will go crazy. Itâs normal.â
The lieutenant at the side said and then glanced at the plaque. âSpeaking of which, why did you see a different content? Is there any mechanism? Or some Easter egg?â
These words made Kuro narrow his eyes slightly.
âHe wasnât the only one who saw it?â
What does this plaque mean?
âThe door is open, please come in.â
At this time, the staff opened the door to the town and said to Kuro and others.
Kuro shook his head and walked forward.
âStrangeâ¦â
Leda followed him, her head tilted, her face thoughtful.
âWhatâs wrong?â Kuro asked.
âNo, I seem to have seen the story you mentioned somewhere, but I canât remember where.â
Leda rubbed her head and frowned. âWhere did I see itâ¦â
âIf you canât think of anything, donât think about it. Itâs just a small story. What strange things can there be?â
With that, Kuro turned around and glanced at the old man. At this moment, the old manâs head was twisted back into a shocking arc, and his eyes were about to pop out. His mouth was open, revealing several missing teeth, and saliva was flowing down the corner of his mouth.
âWitch!â He was still shouting crazily.
Kuroâs lips twitched and he entered the gate without looking at the old man.
Inside the door, it was different from the deserted port behind. The tall buildings were full of shops, and there were pedestrians everywhere on the neat stone road. It was bustling with activity.
The strangeness unique to Gothic architecture also faded away under the crowd.
âItâs quite hotâ¦â
Kuro smiled and said to the lieutenant, âTake me to the base first.â
âYes, please follow me.â
The lieutenant saluted and prepared to lead Kuro forward.
âHeeheehee, a group of boys I have never seen before.â
Suddenly, a woman flashed in front of them.
The woman put her hands behind her back and jumped around on the spot. She bared her teeth at Kuro and others. âHello, I am the tour guide of Tada Town. Do you need me to show you around?â
âEh? Fishman?â Leda looked at her teeth and was stunned.
The woman was very young, no more than 20 years old. She had long black hair and a lively face, but her bared teeth were like serrations, similar to the teeth of a Merman.
âNo, no, noâ¦â
The woman pointed a finger at Leda and shook it. âItâs either a sharp tooth or a fishman. I am a very pure human.â
âItâs you again, Sipatia, donât cause trouble here, get out of the way.â
At this moment, the lieutenant waved his hand impatiently. âGo find those tourists. We donât need a tour guide.â
âOh, you were rejected.â
The woman named Sipathea giggled, but her body did not move. Instead, she stuck her head out and said with a smile, âItâs a pity that you canât earn Marineâs money. However, you are new here, I still have to remind you not to go out at night. If you go out at night, you will become monsters.â
âCome on, you have to say that every time you see a stranger.â
The lieutenant sighed and took out a stack of Berries from his pocket. âHurry up and leave. Find something serious to do and donât idle around here.â
âThank you, Marine.â
Sipatiya took it with a smile, but she still didnât retreat. âBut Iâm not lying. Itâs true. If you go out at night, you will become monsters.â
She glanced at everyone and repeated, âIf you go out at night, you will become a terrible monster.â
âHow is that possible? How can a person become a monster?â
A Marine behind him retorted, âAre the people of this town living by telling stories?â
âHahaha, I donât believe it either. To become a monster at night, this town has long been famous.â
The Marines laughed and refuted the womanâs words.â
West Patia was still smiling and didnât say anything. Instead, she looked at Kurolida and Crowe.
âDonât get in the way, woman.â
Crowe pushed up his glasses, which glinted coldly.
âOh~ What a terrible face.â
Sipatia giggled and stepped aside.
Kuro frowned and glanced at her, feeling a little confused.
Why are there always inexplicable people in this town?
However, he did not care about anything and walked forward under the lead of the lieutenant.
Sipatiya looked at their backs with a smile. âOh, three people, forget itâ¦â
She stretched out her hand, her thumb and index finger opened, and the second hand formed a rectangle aimed at them. She whispered:
âThe reverse side is correct.â
