Chapter 764 Honkai Crystal
"Well……"
After being coaxed and coaxed by her brother, Yae Sakura finally put away her resentful eyes and returned to the room where she stayed to get a quilt and cover it with Carol who was sleeping.
She was counting on Carol to help them treat Rin, so how could she blame her?
And her brother also said that she was ambushed by a monster, and sister Carol was also a victim.
Yae Ri briefly explained tonight's experience to her sister, which made Yae Sakura's eyes widen in disbelief.
"Uncle of the Emon family, controls monsters...?"
"Well, so be careful in the future and never leave the shrine unless I'm with you!"
Yazhongli solemnly warned.
"Uh-huh!"
For a while after that, Carol was kept secretly recuperating in the pharmacy by the two brothers and sisters. Fortunately, Lord Yae was not too busy to come here, otherwise Carol would not be able to stay.
One day at noon, Yaeli had just completed his daily task of killing monsters. He came to the pharmacy and found that Carol's complexion was mostly healed. All the large and small wounds on his body, except for the penetrating wound in the abdomen, were all injured. I have recovered to some extent.
"Xiao Li."
Carol, who was leaning against the wall, tried to stand up, but then had to sit down because of the pain in his abdomen.
"Hey...when will the city lord send someone here?"
Carol sighed, "This abdominal wound is really painful."
"It would be nice if I could save a little life."
Yazouri pounded the medicine, one after another, mechanically and attentively.
His thoughts went back to the way Emon Shingen controlled the monster that night, and then asked: "Sister Carol, do you know what the thing that guy was holding that day was?"
It was originally a casual question, what if Carroll, a Westerner, knew something he didn't know?
But she didn't expect Carol to really know. While she was enjoying Yaeli applying the medicine on herself, she thought about her words: "That thing is Honkai Crystal, at least that's what we call it in Europe."
"Ok?"
Yae Li raised his head, "Hengkai Crystal?"
"Well, I actually planned to wait for the captain to tell you later, but because of that guy's threat, I told you in advance..."
Carroll said: "Do you still remember the appearance of that guy? He was sickly, as if he had been sucked dry of all nutrients from his body."
Yaeri recalled it, and indeed, although the former Emon Shingen was not in good health, at least he would not be half-dead like that night. He originally thought that he suffered too much of a blow because of his daughter's death, and was unable to recover, but From what Carroll said, it seemed like there was something else hidden?
"He is affected by the Honkai Crystal. It is infecting him and consuming his vitality."
Carol was obviously a little taboo about that little purple thing. He held it on his cheek and said, "There is a strange radiation in a certain range around this thing. Anyone who comes close to it will be affected to a greater or lesser extent. It has Honkai resistance." People with high levels of Honkai energy may only be affected when they touch it directly with their hands, but people with low Honkai energy resistance can even be infected dozens of meters away from it, and then...become a dead soldier."
Honkai Resistance? Dead soldier?
These are two words that I have never heard before, but they are easy to understand. After all, Yaeli can also feel the inexplicable energy around that kind of crystal and absorb it. This should be what Carol calls Honkai. Energy, and Honkai energy resistance is the ability to resist this energy.
As for the "death warrior"... Yaeli had also seen this kind of existence in the village.
A very hungry villager brought pieces of monster meat home to eat. Within the next day, his skin turned completely gray and he lost all reason. He would bite all the humans he saw and was later escorted. They were killed and then burned to ashes with a fire.
It's just that they are in the minority. After all, there are lessons learned from the past. How can other villagers dare to think of monster meat again?
Carroll continued: "And Xiaoli, the so-called monster that you often call it also has another name over there, Honkaimon. I have always called it monster before, just to do as the Romans do, lest you Shinano people temporarily I don’t understand half of it.”
"Then...what is Honkai?"
Yae Ri noticed that the word "Hengkai" appears more frequently in Western names.
"I don't know about this. This kind of proper noun is spread by our senior people. The people below don't know what it means. Anyway, it is a disaster. This is better in our European continent than in yours." Much more serious.”
Every time Carroll thought about his past fighting on the front line, he felt a sense of fear in his heart.
Those giant monsters covered in gray-white carapace killed many Valkyries in the army.
"The Honkaiju beasts on your side are okay. They all retain some animal appearances and are still mortal bodies. They can usually be killed with one sword. However, the ones over there are different. Their carapace is hard and their body is very large. One foot is as big as yours..."
Yaeli imagined it for a moment and fell silent.
One foot is as big as a person, and the carapace is hard... Yaeli doesn't know how he will perform against those things.
Although with his own strength, he can dominate the monsters here in Shinano, the monsters over there in the West...Honkaimon is obviously not on the same level as the Waiguakaizao here, and maybe he The knife can't even split the opponent's carapace?
Yae Ri hesitated for a moment about taking her sister to the West, but soon shook her head.
How could you be so scared?
Since these Valkyries can fight the terrifying Honkaimon, and his strength is probably a little stronger than those Valkyries, then he shouldn't need to be afraid.
At worst, he would just run away if he couldn't beat him. Yaeli was relatively confident in his ability to run away.
And it’s not necessary to go, let’s see what the Shinano doctors invited by the city lord say...
It's a pity that Yaeri didn't know that the troops in the West do not allow deserters. If anyone betrays his teammates during the battle, and is discovered afterwards, he will either be imprisoned for life, or be killed directly, even the children of nobles. Not immune.
Therefore, in order to protect their daughters, Western nobles usually use all means to organize their troops, hoping to send them to a safe place.
They will spend a lot of money and energy to seek a relatively safe position in the army through various channels and relationships to keep their daughters away from the war on the front line.
These positions may be in the back office, as a caregiver in the medical team, or in clerical duties.
In this way, nobles could gild their daughters while keeping them safe from most dangers.
At least she won't die suddenly and tragically in a battle with a Honkai Beast like the daughters of ordinary families.
