Chapter 14 Conversation
Chapter 14 Conversation
The early morning sun shone into the room, and billions of dust particles swam in the sun, looking for something to absorb.
Ash opened his quilt and looked at his crotch. His face turned red because he had expressed himself too much in his dream last night.
There was nothing he could do about it. Knowing that there was a cult plotting something big nearby, he felt like there was a sword hanging over his head, not knowing when it would fall.
Although he usually worked himself to sleep through practicing swordsmanship, the psychological pressure kept accumulating.
Suddenly I had a chance to vent, so I naturally played a little crazily.
Sin, sin, Ash apologized for his sin.
After filling a basin with clean water, Ash began to wash the clothes.
On the other side, Maria opened her eyes, her eyes were lifeless, and it took a while for them to return to normal.
Thinking of the absurdity in the dream, Maria's face immediately turned red and she couldn't help but spit secretly.
Who is the lewd nightmare demon? How can a little kid play so wildly?
Maria twisted her body unconsciously, causing a wave of excitement. She couldn't help biting her pink lips, but it was really great, so hot that she almost melted.
I really want to, stop, Maria, you are a temperance nun, how can you succumb to vulgar desires and have such no perseverance!
Slap! Slapping her cheeks vigorously with both hands, Maria pulled herself together and prepared to lead the children to pray.
As soon as she stood up, Maria felt a chill in her lower body. When she lifted the quilt, she found it was soaked.
The blush that had just faded away immediately covered her cheeks again.
After hanging up his clothes to dry, Ash bit some jerky and prepared to continue hunting monsters.
On the way, Ash met Maria who was also drying her quilt.
Ash nodded to the new nun, without a trace of embarrassment on his face for using others as spell material.
"Wait." Maria stopped Ash as he was about to leave, "Why don't you go pray?"
"Why should I pray?" Ash looked at Sister Yueban in confusion.
"Children in the nursing home must pray to the Goddess of Night every day before they reach adulthood. This is the rule." Maria said in a firm tone.
Ash scratched his cheek with his fingers: "I'm an adult now."
"You're an adult?" Maria was stunned and looked up and down at Ash, who looked and looked only thirteen or fourteen years old.
No matter how you look at it, he looks like a minor!
Maria put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Good children should not lie!"
"Who lied to you?" Ash rolled his eyes. "If you don't believe me, you can go ask Father Wocong."
Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Ash called out to the black-haired boy passing by, "Valentin, come here."
"What's up, Ash?" Valentine came over, glanced at Maria, and whispered, "Did you offend the nun?"
"No." Ash said, "She said I am underage. Can you testify for me whether I am an adult or not?"
"Oh." Valentine breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Maria, "Sister, Ash is indeed an adult. He was baptized at the same time as me."
So his name is Ash?
Maria glanced at Ash, then at Valentine, who also looked a little young, and then said suspiciously:
"Really? You guys are not colluding to deceive me?"
"Really? It's true, truer than gold." Valentine raised an oath gesture.
Seeing that Valentine dared to swear with God as a witness, Maria dispelled her doubts: "Okay, I misunderstood you. As an apology, I will give you a short-term grace."
Short-term divine grace? Ash's mind moved slightly.
Valentine was so happy that he almost jumped up, and nodded quickly, "Okay, but will it be a bit troublesome for you, Sister?"
He is also a true believer of the Goddess of Night. Being able to bathe in the grace of God, even if it is only short-term, is enough to make him happy for a long time.
"No. Also, don't call me adult. Just call me Sister Maria." Maria frowned slightly. She noticed something strange when she came yesterday.
The children here actually call priests and nuns "adults".
Obviously, other places just use the name and the priesthood to address them, and some places with a closer relationship will directly call them sister or brother. Maria began to add divine grace to Ash and Valentine.
The holy light fell, but Ash didn't feel any unusual improvement.
"I have blessed you with a day's worth of endurance," Maria said after adding the divine grace. "During this day, your energy consumption rate will slow down, and your energy recovery rate will increase."
Endurance blessing? That’s okay.
Ash nodded to Maria and said, "Thank you Sister Maria."
"You're welcome. You don't need to thank me for the compensation." Maria waved her hand. "Okay, you guys go back to work. I should lead the other children in prayer."
"Yeah." Ash and Valentine nodded and turned to leave.
They parted at the entrance of the nursing home, and Ash headed towards Nolan Forest.
On the way, Ash thought about God's grace. He remembered that those who could be granted God's grace were at least devout believers of the righteous God.
It is naturally very difficult to corrupt such a believer. In addition, Maria is new and more trustworthy than anyone else in the town.
Should we use her to spread the news?
Ash thought about it and shook his head. Even if he trusted Maria, he couldn't trust the channel she used to transmit information.
A newcomer like her would definitely be the focus of attention of the cultists, and her every move would likely arouse vigilance.
Arriving at the place where Cockscomb Moxi was killed yesterday, Ash took a quick look and found no signs of mess.
It seems that he hasn't found it yet.
Ash came to the goblin camp of yesterday again, and there were a few goblins gathered here again.
Ash swung the dagger in his hand and made them his hunting targets.
Looking at the corpse that had been bitten beyond recognition, Ash frowned. Killing people was not a disgusting thing, but looking at the horrible corpse was disgusting.
Ash continued to move deeper into the jungle.
After hunting a horned rabbit, Ash let its blood flow and then hid himself in a tree.
Soon, a badger with two claws on its front legs came over following the scent.
Ash threw his dagger at it and stabbed it to death. After taking out its magic core, he used it as bait as well.
After a while, a hint of green came into Ash's sight.
Ash watched the goblins below take the bait away, then followed silently.
Today he planned to complete the achievement "Goblin Slayer" to see what rewards it would give.
This is related to whether he should consider investing his energy into the Nemesis series of achievements.
On the other side, in a room in Senmu Town, Thomas sat on a chair, looking at the door that had not been opened once all night, his face looked a little ugly.
This means that Cockscomb Moshi has had an accident.
Was it that kid who did it?
Thomas immediately placed the first suspicion on Ash.
But soon he shook his head again.
He is just an orphan professional who has just started out. Perhaps his awakened skills or talents are better, but they are not enough to make up for the time gap.
And nothing happened to Ash yesterday, and it seemed that he didn't run into Cockscomb Moses.
Who would that be?
Thomas fell into deep thought.
