There is no doubt that during Sky City's one hundred years, Teresa was filled with thoughts of returning to the real world.
In other words, she can't wait to see what Clare will look like when she grows up.
So after choosing a silver, light and tight-fitting hollow armor, and a giant Dragon-Slaying Sword with strong and sharp attributes, the woman who was evaluated by the organization as the strongest Warrior in history, returned to Land of the East on the island through the portal with Allen.
Looking at the familiar sight of a sky full of yellow sand around him, Teresa finally couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Ten years have passed in the outside world, and nothing seems to have changed."
"No! Believe me, in the more than ten years since your death, the world has changed much more than you imagined. It's just that this is the eastern region controlled by the organization, so the overall changes are minimal. After all, for the top leaders of the organization, a Severance broken world is more conducive to their control." Allen explained nonchalantly.
"Yes! Only the people living in this land are poor and ignorant enough, can they buy enough girls with money and transform them into Warrior. Especially the madman and pervert Dae, every time he transforms a girl, a disgusting expression of joy will appear on his face."
Teresa's tone was full of naked and undisguised disgust for the organization.
After all, there are an absolute minority like Clare who voluntarily join the organization to undergo transformation. Most Warrior are purchased from human traffickers or parents who cannot feed too many children.
In fact, human trafficking is all too common on this island.
Before Allen became the lord of Western Lands, the price of a "person" in some places was not even as good as a horse or a cow.
In particular, girls who are unable to engage in heavy physical labor are often the first to be abandoned when problems arise in their families.
Some of them were sold to rich people as playthings, some were sold to organizations and underwent inhumane transformation into Claymore, and some were reduced to brothels and became tools for men to vent their desires.
When survival is not guaranteed, no one cares about family ties and morality.
Allen I have seen poor people who are willing to give up their human dignity for a bite to eat, and I have also seen warriors who are willing to risk death for their great ideals and beliefs.
So he didn't feel very strange about Teresa's reaction. He just smiled and comforted, "Okay, don't be so impatient. The organization has entered a countdown to destruction from now on. What we have to do is to witness with our own eyes how it reaps the consequences. Let's go, I will take you to meet Clare first. You know that the last time we met, she pulled out the sword without saying a word."
"Meet Clare? Now? Is it too early?" Teresa instantly became a little nervous.
She didn't know why, but just now she was eager to see how the little guy who was following her was doing, but when things happened, she felt a subtle sense of fear.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to have a look, and I won't rush you to reveal your identity. And... I have maintained a special cooperative relationship with Abyssal One Lulu of Clare over the years."
When saying these words, Allen subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth with a playful smile.
The reason why he was able to allow Ine Lily to recruit so many Claymore who defected from the organization was thanks to the information revealed by Ace Spy in private.
Otherwise, just finding the target in the huge crowd would be quite troublesome.
Obviously, Lulu has been making arrangements to completely bury the organization from a long time ago.
He had a hunch that after secretly recruiting so many Allen who defected from Claymore, they would one day attack the organization.
"Okay, it's up to you."
Teresa After hesitating again and again, he nodded vigorously.
In this way, the two of them walked straight through a desolate desert area and entered an area where the Gobi desert and the forest meet.
At this moment, it was completely dark.
Clare and Laki were sitting next to the campfire leaning against a large lizard-like reptile.
You know without asking that this is their dinner.
In other words, this is the dinner of the male protagonist in the original plot - Laki.
As for Clare, since she received the transformation, her food intake has become very small like other Claymore, and she does not need to eat a lot of food to supplement her nutrition.
As the whole skinless lizard was roasted until it turned oily and golden, exuding the pungent smell of meat, Lackey's mouth, which had been hungry all day, suddenly began to secrete a large amount of saliva uncontrollably. He subconsciously licked his lips and said, "It looks like it's almost done."
The words just fell!
He couldn't wait to use the knife he carried with him to cut off a piece from the fattest part of his abdomen. He didn't care if it was hot to his hands and hurriedly handed it to Clare: "Here! Eat it while it's hot. I'm still somewhat confident about cooking."
"Oh, thank you."
Clare took it casually, with a hint of warmth and nostalgia in his eyes.
Because she still remembered that Teresa baked a rabbit for herself in this way.
Although it only had a little taste of salt, spices and the meat itself, it was the most delicious food she had ever eaten in her life, bar none.
On the other side, the hungry Laki also tore off a piece of meat from the shelf and said to himself excitedly, "Wow! Although it doesn't look like much, it seems to taste pretty good."
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and took a hard bite, chewing quickly with his teeth, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
Seeing that Laki was eating so deliciously, Clare also had a rare appetite and began to take small bites of the delicious and juicy barbecue.
But after just two or three bites, her body began to feel a strong feeling of fullness.
In desperation, he could only place the piece of meat gently on the ground.
As we all know, eating delicious food is one of the important behaviors that secretes dopamine in the brain to make humans feel happy.
But Claymore people have been deprived of this happiness.
Therefore, compared with ordinary people, they are more likely to be depressed and more likely to go to extremes.
Just when Laki noticed this and wanted to ask, Clare suddenly stood up from the ground, turned around and walked towards the sparse bushes behind.
"Where are you going?" Laki asked loudly.
"Don't follow me!"
Clare After leaving these words, he slowly disappeared into the darkness.
"Is it convenient to go?"
Laki whispered, and soon continued to compete with the barbecue with his head down.
Because when Clare left, he did not take away the Claymore that symbolized his identity, as well as the arm guards, shoulder guards and greaves.
But he didn't realize that there were two people in the darkness who saw everything that just happened.
"What happened to that boy?"
Teresa, who had been suppressing his aura before, suddenly asked.
She is not a fool, and she can easily feel the unusual and subtle feelings between Clare and Laki.
Allen shrugged his shoulders innocently. "Isn't this obvious? Clare saw the shadow of her own childhood in Laki, and wanted to use this method to understand your mood and feelings at that time. In other words, since you died, she has been immersed in the terrible shadow of that day and has not come out."
"So she joined the organization at all costs just to avenge me?" A touch of emotion flashed in Teresa's eyes.
"Absolutely. After all, you know best about Clare's stubborn temper. Let's go and meet Abyssal One Lulu."
With that said, Allen turned around and walked towards the desolate Gobi not far away.
Teresa stopped and glanced at the boy sitting next to the campfire, munching on barbecue, as if he wanted to find out the similarities between the boy and Teresa in his childhood.
But soon, she gave up this stupid idea.
Because Clare and Laki are two completely different personalities, and even their genders are different, there is no way to compare them.
However, Teresa is quite happy to see the little girl from the past growing up.
His eyes, in particular, were full of pampering and affection, and his heart, which had been feeling a little lonely, became hot almost instantly.
Unfortunately, now is not the time to reveal his identity.
So Teresa quickly hid these emotions and followed Allen in a cold and aloof manner.
The two of them just walked in tandem, appearing directly in the sight of Clare and Lulu without any concealment.
"Oh my! This really big shot is here."
After confirming Allen's identity, Lulu immediately subconsciously held up his hat with his hands, showing strong nervousness and fear in his eyes.
Maybe the idiots at the top of the organization didn't notice the changes that happened in Western Lands, but he, Ace Spy, knew it all.
If possible, Lulu would actually rather let the organization unite with three northern Abysses to first destroy the increasingly powerful Western Lands.
He felt that the knowledge, technology and ideas possessed by Allen were many times more dangerous than an organization that only knew how to manufacture biological weapons.
It's a pity that during the last contact with the mainland, the task given by the superiors was to maintain a good relationship and obtain as much intelligence as possible.
So before the new order is delivered, this is the highest guideline for action Lulu.
"Hey! Long time no see, Lulu. You seem to be looking pretty good." Allen took the initiative to say hello.
"Thanks to you! The organization's strength has recovered very quickly recently, and we Abyssal One can also relax a little bit." Lulu forced out a smile and complimented.
"Really? How did I hear that those three guys from Northern Lands are ready to move south at any time?" Allen asked with a half-smile.
"It's just a rumor. Compared to this news, I have another more shocking news here. Those three monsters and their men have also mastered Life Energy's training methods." Lulu probed meaningfully.
But Allen pretended to be innocent and spread his hands. "Don't look at me, this has nothing to do with me, it's just a coincidence. Maybe a certain guy is gifted and felt the aura of Life Energy during the battle, so he taught himself after returning home?"
"Coincidence? Are there really so many coincidences in the world?"
Lulu obviously didn't believe a word of this.
In his opinion, Life Energy, the master of the three abyss Isley, Riful and Luciela, was 100% deliberately taught by the other party.
As for the purpose, it is most likely to create greater trouble for the organization.
After all, if there is anyone on this island who has the greatest hatred towards the Three Abyss, it must be the organization.
"Just because you don't believe it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. What's more, I'm not here today to argue with you about these meaningless things."
With that said, Allen raised Teuchi, snapped his fingers, and instantly transformed into a chair and sat down.
This hand immediately made Clare show an extremely surprised expression.
Lulu, on the other hand, had seen the other party's weird abilities before, and asked very calmly, "Then why are you here today? Don't tell me that you want to get information about a certain Warrior from me."
Allen smiled and shook his head, "No, of course not. On the contrary, I'm here to talk to you about cooperation."
"Follow me or follow the organization?" Lulu said with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
"From my standpoint, there is actually no difference. In fact, a war sweeping this land is about to begin. I know what you want to do, and I can help you achieve this goal. But the problem is that you can't just sit back and enjoy the results, you must play a certain role." Allen hinted half-truth and half-falsely.
"What do you need me to do?" Lulu probed carefully.
"Sorry, we can't talk about this yet, at least not here."
Allen glanced at Clare, who was eavesdropping, and pursed his lips with a playful smile.
Clare's face changed slightly, and he immediately wanted to draw his sword.
But soon she realized she was unarmed when she came out.
But the next second...
Teresa, who hid himself under the mask, pulled out an ordinary Claymore from behind and threw it over. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "You want to do something? Then let's have fun!"
"Who are you?"
Clare obviously felt a familiar aura from this stranger and immediately frowned.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that with your current strength, you still have the courage to draw the sword. I really don't know whether to praise your courage or laugh at your stupidity."
While talking, Teresa also pulled out his sword and rushed over at extremely fast speeds.
clang!
With the crisp sound of metal collision and golden Hanabi flying everywhere, the two swords finally collided together.
Clare felt as if he had been hit by a giant beast. He flew backwards uncontrollably and rolled on the ground for twenty or thirty meters before barely stopping, opening his mouth and gasping for air.
There is no doubt that in the confrontation just now, her strength was at an absolute disadvantage.
If he hadn't picked up the sword that fell on the ground in time, he would have been cut in half from the middle.
