Volume 1: The Ritual of the Abyss Chapter 19: Redemption
In the tavern, Grayles, Awight, and Lina sat at a table, staring at each other.
Lina looked at Bishop Awiet across from her and asked, "Grandpa, why are you here?"
Bishop Awilet tilted his head slightly, pretending not to hear.
Then Lena turned her gaze to Graylers and asked, "You're not surprised?!"
Being looked at like this by Lina, Grellers also felt a little embarrassed, so he coughed lightly. Then he looked at Chen Mo, intending to ask for help.
Seeing this, Chen Mo also understood that there was no way for a few of them to start a topic here.
He walked up to a few people and said, "I have invited a few of them to come because I have been entrusted by Natila to help you mediate." ”
Natila on the side???
Lina also looked suspicious.
"Ahem, the details are left alone, let's get started. First of all, Lina spoke. As he spoke, he gave Lina an encouraging look.
Lina looked confused, but remembered what Natila had said to herself yesterday, and she spoke.
"Then I'll make it clear, I'm going to take part in the rating assessment, strive to be promoted to the gold level as soon as possible, and then go to Heike Morris to find the inheritance of Heike Morris. ”
After saying that, he also carefully observed the expressions of Gray Les and Awight. Grayles was upset, and Awight still had his trademark smile on his face.
"Well, that's a good point, do you have any opinions?"
Grellers pursed his lips and said, "I'm against it anyway." ”
And Awight smiled hehehe: "Since Lina already has her own ideas, then I will support her." ”
Then, Chen Mo looked at Graylers and asked, "Why don't you agree?"
Grelles replied, "Don't you know?"
"Kelina doesn't know!" Chen Mo immediately replied. "It's her now, Lina, not us!"
Grayles was stunned by the yelling. He turned his eyes to Linna, but he felt like he couldn't say a word.
At this point, Awight spoke, saying, "Grayles, just say what you have to say." We can't keep this matter a secret, it's not good for you, Yu Linna. ”
Greiles looked left and right, and also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and shouted: "Good fellow!
"Okay, I'll just say it!"
Then, under the persecution of everyone, he began to speak.
From entering the jungle to Chris's death.
Then Greiles slew the imp.
At that moment, Graylers turned around, and Kra was holding Chris's corpse.
Although Greiles already knew that Chris's qi was short, he still couldn't believe it in his heart: "Chris...... Are you still alive?"
Carat shook her head, a look of regret on her face.
After receiving the answer, Graylers took a deep breath and suppressed the grief in his heart. Then he said, "Then send him there." ”
Carat nodded, and began the detachment ritual.
Just like Chris and the thief had done before. In the Holy Empire, all warriors who die on the battlefield should be liberated on the battlefield. The corpse is sent back to nature, and the soul goes to the kingdom of God by relying on the gate of heaven.
Eventually, Chris was also under the light, turning into natural energy and drifting away.
Seeing that the ceremony was over, Grelles also picked up the big sword on the ground again, he was the leader of the squad, no matter how sad he was, at least on the surface, he had to cheer up.
"Let's go back to support!"
But when Grellers and the others arrived, Wood and the others were already covered in bruises.
Fortunately, Greiles and the others killed the Ze Demon in time, the influence of the abyssal qi disappeared, and the purification circle took effect again. A large number of demonic beasts dispersed, and only a few were left who were fighting with Wood and the others.
After Grellers and the others arrived, several people were already covered in bruises, and several demonic beasts that could have been solved in a few rounds in their heyday could only be supported at this time.
And now, Greiles, Kra and the others have arrived, and with their help, the situation has finally been reversed, and these monsters have been quickly resolved.
But Wood also almost fell due to physical exhaustion. Fortunately, Grellers stepped forward and held Wood up.
Wood looked at Graylers, and his tone was a little weak: "Fortunately, these demonic beasts retreated in time, and you came to the rescue in time, otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to hold on." ”
After speaking, he found that the original three people had become two people at this time, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.
"Where's Chris?"
Then, I saw Graylers have a sad expression on his face.
Seeing this, Wood was also touched, so he comforted: "The deceased is gone, and as a soldier, it is also an honor to die on the battlefield." ”
Greiles nodded. The original sad mood was also weakened a lot by Wood's comfort.
At that time, he also considered death to be a glorious thing. Until they returned to the city in victory......
Their exploits were recited by the troubadours, and at the cost of only three dead and four wounded, they conquered an area that originally needed 3,000 elites and 10,000 soldiers, and saved millions of inhabitants of the territory.
It was a battle that went down in history. That's why Greyres went straight to action after hearing Chris's proposal.
Standing on the horse, it was the mighty figure of Greles, who slowly walked into the imperial capital under the cheers of the crowd.
Then, there was the soldier who had returned triumphantly from the battlefield.
In the end, it is the nameplates, which are the warriors who died on the battlefield.
After returning to the imperial capital, Grelles was received by the archbishop and the king, and at the same time, in the presence of the people of the whole country, he accepted the king's gift.
After the meeting, Grelles went to find Rubier, Chris's wife, and he wanted to tell Lubier that her husband was a hero, and he thought that Lubier would be comforted by this.
However, after actually seeing Rubyeh, she looked at herself with teary eyes and asked, "Mistress Greiles, where is my husband Chris?"
Grayles opened his mouth, but found that his mind was blank and he couldn't say anything.
Then I saw Rubier crying bitterly and screaming at Greres: "You all say he is a hero, but he is only my husband! My daughter's father !! I don't want him to be a hero, I just want him to come back safely." ”
Then he pulled Grayles out of the room.
"I don't want to see you!
Looking at all this, Grellus suddenly felt as if his heart had been weighed down by something, and it became heavy, making him breathless.
Walking out of the courtyard, Greiles glanced back at the mansion, but through the window, he saw Rubier's eyes full of sadness and resentment.
Then he fled out of the place, out of sight of his eyes.
I went to the church and found the archbishop, Awight, to ask about the situation. Unexpectedly, Archbishop Awight only sighed at this, saying that he couldn't solve it either.
"But what is this mood?" said Grayles' expression, struggling.
Seeing this, Awiet couldn't bear it in his heart, so he pointed to a street in the city, where it belonged to the common people, and said, "If you really want to know, then go and see there, there is a street." ”
So, Grellers went in that direction.
There, instead of laughter and laughter, he saw a dead silence.
This can't help but cause Grayles to start falling into self-doubt. Then he took an old man by the hand and asked him, "Didn't we win the war, and why are you so sad?"
Unexpectedly, after seeing the nobleman of Grayles dressed, the old man not only did not salute him as before, but took a sip of phlegm fiercely and said: "You damned nobles, just indulge in your own joy, because you can't understand the heartache of old age and losing your son!"
And this scolding attracted the residents of the whole street.
Then Greiles saw a woman on her knees, crying and begging Greles, "My lord, give me back my child!
Then I saw some of the children running up, looking up at Grayles, and asking, "Is Brother Cota back?" But my mother said that my brother had gone to a far away place. ”
"And my husband, is he back? Where is he? Let me meet him...... Why? Why are you the only ones coming back?"
At first, Greiles could still hear a few people talking, but in the back, all that was left was crying and the old men who had fainted from grief.
At that moment, Graylers froze. He didn't expect it to be like this. Shouldn't people celebrate together? Why, why is it so?
At this point, Greyres became skeptical of the idea that the sacrifice of a warrior is an honor. Is sacrifice really a glorious thing? They have gone to the kingdom of God, but what about his family?
You know, behind these fighters, there are families one after another. Sacrifice is death, that is, someone loses their father, someone loses a son, someone loses a husband. This means that countless families have been broken and plunged into grief.
As Rubye had told him before, they didn't need heroes, he just wanted their families to come back alive, even if he was a coward, as long as they could come back.
At this moment, Graylers's heart became heavier than ever. A great sense of guilt came over him, and the faces before death appeared in his mind, and finally, it was fixed on Chris......
Then, even in the face of tens of thousands of abyssal troops, the leader of the Divine Legion Arbitration Army, who was not afraid, ran again.
To the night, to the ...... Salvation!
