Volume 3 The Song of the Dragon and the Wind Chapter 116 The Great War Is Approaching
Looking at the scene of the fire raging in the lamplight, Xavier stared at himself with a few strands of black hair left in his wine glass. He pondered for a long time, until he put a yellowed cabbage leaf in his mouth with his rough right hand.
"The food is going to be cold, but tonight is really hard to swallow. Xavier chewed and chewed the leaves, then put the spoon down.
"I say, old man, you've been eating this meal for almost a night. It's so unusual today. Philip felt Xavier was strange and saw Xavier break a cup.
"Tonight, another star that guides the way has fallen. Xavier said sadly, shaking his head and sighing. The dove at the window told him that the fallen star had not even had time to shine at its last moment.
Later, Xavier twisted the wind-blown wick. Just as Philip was about to step forward and light it, the wick burst into flames after Xavier let go. The light of the fire flickered, blurring the eyes of those who followed it. The fire that illuminated the cell grew louder and louder. Xavier could see the burning city.
The prison of Mochizuki Castle burned along with the nearby residences. And in the prison that was about to burn down, there were two more people.
"Tonight, let this fire burn enough! I wish I could destroy all the decay!"
In the flame barrier, Martin tosses the copper pipe that the Moon Knight has cut off to the ground. In front of him was the disciple of the High Priest of the Starshow, who was lying in a pool of blood, and was now the High Priestess of the Starshower, Luz Greenrose.
Martin glanced at Luz, who was covered in stars and moons on his robes, and then looked at Qassim.
"I really can't figure out why the young master did this. He wanted to help Gudo get rid of Thorne, but what if he didn't have the power of the moon god? And Erin Van was on the Legion's side. Qassim wondered, and the more he thought about it, the bigger his head became.
"It's not going to be a good time without tobacco," Martin took a deep breath, "Of course the young master doesn't want either of them to gain the power of the moon god. Since the young master can't get it, then simply destroy it. ”
"But what about Thorne?" asked Qassim again. He scratched his head vigorously.
"Of course, the young master has a way to deal with him. It would be more advantageous to let the matter of the power of the moon god sink to the bottom than to let either of them gain it. Martin yawned. He felt a little tired. "Alright, it's time for us to go. ”
"Perhaps, you have a point. Young Master's thoughts, who knows?, but those guys who came with us should be fine, right?" Qassim pondered.
"They're dead, we don't care about them, it's time to go. Martin yawned again.
Now, Martin and Qassim have escaped from the cavern blasted out of the magical flames.
As it happens, the rumble of the explosion startles Lynn, who is on patrol. When he came to the street here, he saw the arsonist and immediately dismounted and shouted. "Guards!
"Good evening, sir, but...... Goodbye...... I wish you a happy mood after enjoying the fireworks. Qassim flung his cloak and let Martin disappear behind it. And he himself was backwards against the walls of the house and disappeared. So, Lynn, who had drawn his sword and stabbed it, pierced a hole in the wall and scolded in disappointment, "Damn it!"
"Lord Lynn, what about the arsonist?" asked the guard who took the lead, gasping for breath as he swerved into the street where Lynn was.
"Damn, they ran away! Why are you here?" Lynn stepped forward and shoved the running guard, nearly knocking them down.
"Hmph, you shit. Thorne suddenly appeared from the black lightning bolt and threw the two corpses in his arms. Then, he rushes into the hole that has exploded, trying to see if Luz is still there.
Lynn was overwhelmed by Thorne's approach. He couldn't get into the fire, and the prison was already crumbling. Lynn had no choice but to order the guards to send the bodies of the two humans to the lord's hall.
That's when another guy surprised Lynn appeared. He had a black full moon dagger around his waist and asked Lynn, "What about the arsonist?"
"You...... Are you still alive?" Lynn recognized the dagger, trying to look at the face under the hood. However, all he could see was a cloud of blackness anyway. As the wind blew Derek's hood, he subconsciously saw the stitches on Derek's neck. At this time, he paused for a moment. "You...... It's just a monster. ”
"Does that make a difference? You'd better go to Lord Moon, he's looking for you. Arsonist, I'll catch up. Derek vanished into a black mist.
"Okay...... I hope my cousin won't lose his temper. But what is the situation when Derek looks like this? Today, it's really wicked. What kind of magic is this? hell, a guy with a moving head, walking down the street!" Lynn blinked, relieving her wonder. He put away his sword, mounted his horse, and headed for the lord's hall.
At this time, there was already a quarrel in the lord's hall.
"Moon, how can this be explained?" Thorne sat solemnly, holding Moon accountable. And Moon had been standing beside the white rock statue of the High Priest of Starrain, looking out the window at the fire.
"Cousin, do you have something to do with me?" Lynn bowed her head and paused before hurrying in.
"Is this the end of your patrol?" Moon was furious. He almost rushed over and punched Lynn.
"Cousin, I didn't want this to happen before my eyes, but it did, and quite suddenly, and the booming fire startled me. Lynn explained.
"Moon's cousin, don't worry, Moon will give you other tasks in a moment. Look at the night-clad humans lying on the ground, you just asked the guards to move here. You go and take a look at their night suits. Thorne said coldly. 168
"Do as he says. Moon had a disappointed look on his face. He knew that the expected power to turn things around was out of reach, as Thorne told him that Ruz, the High Priestess of Starshow, who knew the clue, had been killed.
Evading Moon's gaze, Lynn scrutinized the two men who had already been killed by Thorne. He discovered that the inner lining of the people on earth actually had the black crescent insignia of the Night Wandering Church.
"These humans, I found them when I entered the city, and they were sneakily hiding behind trees, with scrolls of fire magic in their hands. But I didn't expect them to have accomplices, and the goal was to be imprisoned. Thorne was annoyed.
"As for the gatekeepers, I'll take care of them...... They will all be sent to sacrifice. Moon said.
"So, what about my mission?" asked Lynn in a low voice, a little scared.
"Annihilate the Nightmarching Church, that's what the King of Order expects!" Thorne replied as he stepped out of his chair. Finally, he found a reason - he couldn't wait to kill the guy he hated with his own hands.
"You're trying to get rid of Gudo, aren't you?" Moon saw what Thorne was thinking.
"Hehe, Lord Moon wants to do the same, right? He's the culprit for your brother's murder. I mean, your subordinate, Amo. Thorne laughed.
"Of course. I don't want to share my territory with him even more. Moon replied.
Gradually, Moon brushed aside his disappointment. He knew that this was an opportunity to get rid of a threatener, but he didn't want to let Gudor take control of the Church of the Dark Veil when he wasn't paying attention. As for Amo's affairs, the Night Tour Church is also one of the objects of suspicion, and in his opinion, those Night Tour Church believers who are controlled by Gudo will not be helpers in the future. Cleaning up is much better than keeping the aftermath, so he readily agrees with Thorne's idea.
"When are you leaving?" asked Lynn directly. He lost the mood to think because his plans were disrupted. He didn't want to be involved in this at all, especially when he left Mochizuki City with Moon.
"When the hand of the King of the Order came down. I will go and explain everything to the King of Order and tell him...... The power of the moon god we offered to him was destroyed by Gudo. Thorne chuckled.
Thorne's laughter made Lynn feel cold and his mind refreshed. He felt that this also created the opportunity for his plan. So, Lynn, who suddenly turned his mind, also burst out laughing. "Haha, that's a really good idea, it's long overdue. I thought, the land of flowers...... No, it's Valhalla's Amo who should be satisfied. Yes, Amo should be in the temple of the God of Light dedicated to the departed heroes. ”
"Lord Thorne, please leave with Lynn first, I have other things to do. Moon looked at Lynn and felt something was wrong. He had never seen Lynn laugh out loud in front of him, so he wanted to think calmly alone.
"Since you say so, of course I'm leaving. I don't want to stay here too long. The human smell here is too heavy. Thorne wiped the tip of his nose and disappeared into the lightning.
"Well, my cousin, I'm quitting too. Lynn simply turned away. He was anxious to find Evan and wanted to have a good talk with him.
As Lynn walked out the door, she ran into Lily. He just smiled and passed by Lily.
"Father, what happened tonight?" asked Lily, who was outside the lord's hall, as she walked through the door. She was still dressed in a nightdress, and the cloak she wore was given to her by the maid.
"Lily, how did you get here, this is not the place you should be. This time, I had to remember what my father said. Moon reminded. He didn't want his daughter to be involved in the affairs of the main hall, which was also a means of protecting her. At this point, he looked at Zachary in the corner, hidden in the shadows.
"Your Excellency, I will send your precious daughter back. Zachary fell to one knee in the shadow of the pillar.
"Father?" Lily still looked worried. She looked at Moon with sad eyes.
"Let's go, my child, and go back to your room. Nothing will happen here. Look, the knights outside the door, they will help my precious daughter take good care of your father. Got it, go back in peace. Moon calmly persuaded.
"Miss, please allow me to send you back. Zachary followed behind Lily, he whispered.
"Hmm. Mr. Zachary, I'm sorry for you. Lily said softly. Zachary followed Lily out of the hall and then disappeared into the darkness.
In the middle of the night, the sound of insects chirping envelops the lord's hall. Moon still sat on the throne in the center of the temple, holding the Mochizuki Sword in his hand.
"Uncle, are you looking for me?" Evan had just arrived from the sword arena in the city, dressed in armor.
"You've come at the right time. I have something to talk to you. Go to my study. Moon retracted the Mochizuki sword from its scabbard and hung it around his waist.
"Wait, if you have something important to say, talk about it here. Just now, I met Uncle Lynn, and he looked like he was in a good mood. Evan was looking for words to use, as he hadn't spoken to Moon in a long time.
"Evan, my dear nephew...... You'd better stay away from Lynn as Lily, I'm here to warn you. In a few days, we're attacking the Glaive, and I don't want anything to happen while I'm away. Moon admonished him.
"Hmph, uncle...... If you're worried about what I'm going to do, you can take care of me. But...... Don't worry, I will never let anyone ruin the glory of the Fan family!" Evan replied coldly to Moon.
"Young Master, your wine. "The maid has just brought the sword shark sauce drink. She set the plate aside, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Evan in a proper manner.
"Uncle, can you drink this wine yourself? I'm leaving. Evan ignored the maid and turned his head to say goodbye. He planned to go to the liquor inn and drink for a few days. Moreover, he felt that the liquor inn was the place he should go.
