Dark Blood

The origin of Mission 15 Devil's Arm

Nero continued to talk about his memories of that day.

"I engraved the words "BlueRose" on my gun.

This is because I read in a book that blue roses are genetically impossible to exist. The shape of my gun is generally against common sense. If it is for people, there is no need for that kind of transformation. It's an unimaginable gun born to deal with the special existence of demons.

And I think that's the best way to name that kind of gun.

So I decided to carve a rose-themed pattern on the gun.

If the engraving is too deep, it will affect the strength of the gun body, so I will make it slightly, but make it conspicuous enough to make people understand my intention and concentrate on carving patterns on the gun body.

The right hand that operates the grinding wheel has become sweaty.

Right hand - right hand. At that time, my right hand was not like the devil's arm now.

When I finished carving the pattern, I think it was evening.

At this time, Salta ran into the workshop in a panic.

Salta is the director of the orphanage when I was a child. His age is unknown. Although she was an old woman when I was a child, even now, her appearance is still the same as before, which is incredible.

Salta is a devout member of the Magic Sword Order, but at this time she messed up her flat dress like a private dress. As soon as she saw me, she shouted,

"Nero!"

I thought, it's preaching again. I was often criticized by her when I was a kid, even after I left the orphanage and became independent. As long as she heard some bad rumors about me as a knight of the Order, she immediately rushed to me angrily to criticize me, and it was not once or twice.

"...Salta, if you want to preach, let's talk about it later. I'm almost finished."

I said to her as I took off the goggles that protected my eyes from sparks and metal fragments. Salta looked breathless and needed to rest for a while to say the next word. If she came to teach me, she would be too anxious to say anything.

"...what the hell happened?"

When I put the grinding wheel on the floor and stood up to ask her, Salta staggered over and put his hand on my shoulder.

"Jiliye...Jiliye is in the forest..."

On that day, Ji Liye took the children from the orphanage to Mitis's forest to play, and I heard her talk about it herself. Although she also asked me to go with her, she politely refused because I was not very good at dealing with children.

"In the forest... What's the matter? Isn't it the same outing as usual?"

But Salta shook her head and said,

"In the forest and forest, demons appeared... The adults of the Knights of the Order have gone to fight, but I'm still worried... So, Nero, you can also go and have a look..."

Because she was really out of breath, Salta's words were a little intermittent, and the nails of her fingers on my shoulder penetrated deeply into my shoulder. He always talks about me as a knight of the Order, but he trusts me very much at this time.

Although I think this request is a little satisfactory, since it is related to Ji Liye, I can't refuse it.

"...I understand. I'll go right away."

"...Thank you, Nero. The children are counting on you. If something happens to those children, I will..."

Although she is a little broken, I also know that she loves those children from the bottom of her heart.

I took the blue roses that had not yet been carved into my arms, and then picked up the crimson queen in the corner of the workshop. This is the sword given to the devil from the Order, but because it has been transformed by me like the blue rose, I can't see the original appearance.

"Be careful, Nero... I hope you can get God's protection."

Faced behind me as I walked out of the workshop, Salta whispered like that.

If there really is a god, then there is no need for us. As I think like that, I rushed to the lost forest.

At this time, there was a change in Nero's eyes.

"In the lost forest, Ji Liye and the children have been trapped by many green demons. I don't know why there are so many demons in that forest, and their number seems to be increasing every day. Although the Knights often send people to strangle those demons, the effect is not Obviously, there are different demons around. When Nero talked about the lost forest, Firth remembered that he happened to walk through the forest on his way, because no demon dared to attack him along the way.

"Two knight team members around have been injured, and the other five people can't resist the attack of the demons at all. At that time, in order to protect Ji Liye, I rushed to the group of demons. I kept slashing and shooting at them. Soon after I joined, the pressure of the other five people also eased a lot. We didn't How long did it take to solve those demons, but in the end I was scratched by a demon who was not dead, and a month later, this right hand changed. Nero showed his right arm.

"For a month after the injury, I stayed alone in the room. Whenever I opened my eyes, my right arm was still the same. It became like this a month ago.

Although I had hoped that all this was a dream, the reality was cruel.

After I removed the bandage wrapped in my right arm as usual, there was something that made people feel that the skin color was different and the texture of the shell was like scales.

I don't know if this is my arm or not. It can move according to my will. I also feel it. But is this really my arm? When I repeated this self-question, which has become a daily habit, I heard a knock on the door.

I rolled up the bandage on my right arm in a panic. Don't let anyone see this arm. If I am seen, I will probably be determined to be a demon.

The devil... Yes, the devil.

My right arm has now become demonic.

Since then, one person has come to visit me every day.

After I jumped down from ** and opened the door, it was Ji Liye standing in front of the door.

Since that day, she has come to visit me every day. Because I told people around me that my right arm was injured, she was so worried.

Actually, I did hurt my right arm that day. So I didn't mean to lie. However, the injury suffered that day was only a small bruise, not the kind of serious injury that could not be healed for a month.

Then it's what it is now.

Is it poisoned by the devil? Or are you relied on by the devil? I don't know.

However, for any reason, I can't let Ji Liye see the appearance of her current arm, which will only make her more worried and even sad, because she will think it's her own reason that has caused the change of my arm. I don't want her to know this. Nero is very smart. He has guessed the change of his arm, but he does not want Ji Liye to know that this is not cheating, but out of a kind of concern and love for the other party.

Looking at Nero in front of him, Phils wanted to tell him the answer, but he couldn't say anything. Such a result would be a greater blow to Nero. It's better to hide it like this. When he knew the truth one day, he would not think so.

"I'm glad to hear your story, but your arm is different from mine. I need to go back to check the information. After all, your arm belongs to the future, and my arm is congenital, but don't worry, this arm is definitely a good thing for you. One day you will know it. It's good." Phils slowly stood up, patted the dirt on his body and was ready to leave.

"Hey! You haven't told me where it came from yet. Nero pulled Firs with dissatisfaction.

"I need to go back and check the information. If I find it, I will tell you tomorrow."

"You must know where it came from, right?" Nero had long seen that Phils knew the origin of his arm, but he didn't understand why Phils didn't say it.

"This is God's blessing for you, cherish this gift, and you must be good to Ji Liye, otherwise, you will definitely be unlucky." Firth didn't want to say anything to Nero anymore, but reminded him to be better to Jill Ye.

"I will." Speaking of Juliet Nero, she showed a rare moment of tenderness.

"That's fine. We will work together in the future, and there are still many opportunities to get along with each other. You should soon understand its role." Phils pointed to Nero's arm, and after saying that, he turned around and left, leaving a doubtful Nero.

"Will you understand its function soon? What the hell is this guy talking about?" Phils' words plunged Nero into another mystery.
