"'What, he's still alive, is he still alive?'

The second sister Shura's spirit was shocked, and she seemed to have suddenly come back to life from death, with her hands spread and her wings to fly.

"I said, 'Of course!' he's still alive just like me!

"'Second sister, my name is Wulong, and I am your younger brother!

"'Look at this mark on my body, which my father had imprinted on my arm, and it's still very distinct, barely changing!

"'Now are you supposed to trust me?'

I couldn't bear to see the second sister's desperate and sad expression, and finally told the second sister the truth, I really couldn't bear to pretend.

"The grief of the second sister deeply shocked me, and at this moment, I deeply sympathize with the second sister!

"She suffered 10,000 times more than I did!

"While my second sister and I were talking, the messenger who had brought bad news to the queen came out of the palace.

"He is no one else, but my servant, and it was my second sister who entrusted him to send me to other places, and my second sister also vaguely knew him.

It's just that he was worried about being recognized, so he did some clever makeup to hide his true face, and his name was Da Han.

So much so that at the beginning, the second sister, who was in extreme grief, did not recognize who he was.

However, now that the second sister watched carefully, she knew that person was a faithful servant he believed in, and handed him a big hand.

Da Han replied and said, "Master, now my name is Xiao Han." ”

"It was confirmed that the servant was the master entrusted to him, and it was confirmed that I, who claimed to be my brother, was his true brother.

The second sister Shura was in mourning and cried with joy.

"'Time is pressing!' the servant urged, looking at me.

"'The time for vengeance has come!' Now, only the queen Terra, who is alone in the palace, and Lalai has not returned. ’

I nodded, and immediately broke into the palace with my faithful friend Radus, the son of King Fios.

"I was followed by a group of my followers.

"Of course, the second sister is going to go, but unlike us, he still hasn't forgotten the most important thing in the urgency of time.

That was prayer, and she leaned over the altar of the angel Apollo, prayed reverently, and then ran into the palace as well.

"An hour later, when Lalai returned to the palace, he inquired as soon as he entered, and asked where the stranger who had brought me the news of my death was.

"At this time, he saw my second sister, Shura.

"So, as usual, he asked her mockingly, 'Where are those strangers?'

"At that time, my second sister suppressed her feelings and calmly replied: 'You got your wish!

"'Is that the death of that brother of yours real?'

"Lale went on to ask, 'Did they come here just to report his death?'

"'Yes,' replied Shura, 'and not only that, but they even brought him. ’

"'This is the first pleasant word I hear from your mouth!' Lale smiled sarcastically.

"'Of course they take the dead with them!'

Lalai walked joyfully towards Wulong and his retinue, who were carrying a wrapped corpse from the inner chamber to the outer court. "'Ah, pull the shroud!'

The king commanded loudly.

"'According to etiquette, I should also mourn him, after all, he is my relative, even family, but a junior. ’

"I replied, 'Open it yourself, king, for only you can enjoy the glory!'

"'That's right,' said Lale, 'but first ask the queen to come and see what she is pleased to see. ’

"'Queen Terra is right at hand. I said out loud.

So, without carefully discerning what I was saying, the king gently lifted a corner of the shroud.

"'Ahh

He exclaimed, and quickly retracted his hand!

He could see clearly at a glance that it was not Wulong lying in front of him, but the bloody corpse of Queen Tra!

"'What kind of trap have I fallen into!'

Lalai yelled in anger and horror.

"I also replied with a thunderous voice, 'Do you not know that the living man who talks to you is what you think is the dead?'

"'Do you see that Wulong is standing here?' He wants to avenge his father!"

It was immediately clear to Lalai that he had been lured into a trap, just as he had done when he had killed Nob earlier.

"'Listen to me!' Lale pleaded hastily.

"But my second sister Shura didn't want to hear anything, and advised me not to listen to his nonsense.

So, at my command, the retinue moved together to push the king into the inner palace.

"In the bathroom where Lalai killed Nou, he himself was killed by the Avenger's sword.

"I killed Lalai, and my second sister and I were both happy and sad.

"It's sad that my dad can't be resurrected, but I'm happy that my dad has got his revenge!

"At that time, I didn't realize that that person was not Lalai at all.

"Then something happened that left me too busy to figure things out.

"Originally, my second sister and I avenged my father and killed his uncle and mother, which was in line with the angel's wishes.

"For this is an edict from the angel Apollo himself, commanding me to do so.

"However, my filial piety to my father made me a murderer of my mother.

"Afterwards, the conscience of heaven caused a surge of love for my mother in my heart, and made me realize that my actions were really a sin against my family.

"Even this ostensible mother-killing has made me the target of the avenging angels.

"The people of our city-state, because of the fear of the vengeful angels, habitually call them the angels of mercy.

"They are the rulers of the night, and they have the power to take people's lives at will.

"They were tall, with blood-red eyes, and their hair was flaring, and between the strands of their hair, there were squirming snakes.

With torches in one hand and whips twisted from pit vipers in the other, they went about hunting down what they considered sinners.

"The sin that they hate the most, and who will kill them as soon as possible, is the sin of killing their mother.

"According to their law, no matter where the murderer of his mother is, they always follow him and never die.

"All the time, all the time, all the time, never stopping, and his conscience is tormented with contrition.

"I became their prey, and the avenging angels drove me mad immediately after I killed my mother.

"I immediately left my sister, my father's palace and the confines of his kingdom, and wandered everywhere.

"My loyal friend Rades has always followed me, and he is the only reliable support in my pain.

"There is another person, that is, the original Da Han, and now Xiao Han.

"I seem to be cornered, and the Angel of Death will soon capture me and drag me to hell.

"However, at this time, there is an angel who has been helping me, and this is the sheep's eye angel.

"When Apollo told me to take revenge and kill my mother, the sheep-eyed angel was always concerned about me.

"Now even though Apollo has withdrawn, the sheep-eyed angel is still with me from time to time.

"He kept defending me against the aggressive avenging angels and kept them from harming me.

"When I was in the most painful and helpless moments, whenever the sheep-eyed angel approached, I felt calm and awake.

"Otherwise, I'll be distraught and even crazy.

"After a long wandering, I and Radus' came to a place of worship for a sheep-eyed angel, and we hid in it.

"The place of worship of the sheep-eyed angel is a place where the avenging angel cannot enter, and there, at last, I have a moment of peace.

"I'm so tired from the long journey that I want to stop running forever.

"At this time, the sheep-eyed angel stood beside me sympathetically, summoning my courage and hope.

"He said to me, 'Be of good cheer, unfortunate man, I will not leave you, but I will be with you and keep you safe.'

"'Whether I am by your side or not, I will take care of you and will never give in to the avenging angels who persecute you!

"'All their attempts to harm you, without exception, will fail.

"'You still have to wander, but you won't wander without purpose, I've set you a goal.

"'From now on, you are going to a great city in the middle of the city, and its name is 'Midtown.'

"'In the heart of Midtown, I'll get you an impartial court.

"'In the courtroom, you can justifiably defend yourself and make it clear that your purpose is not to kill your mother, but to avenge your father.

"'Don't be afraid!' I have to leave you for now, but my brother, whose name is the Angel of Thieves, will protect you.

"'He is a great man, a protector of all thieves in the world.

"'He's the best at doing things without anyone knowing, so it's especially true for you.

"'From now on, he can follow you everywhere and live without a fixed place. ’

"At the same time, the avenging angels are asleep in front of this altar, which is a gift from the sheep-eyed angels.

"Suddenly, my dead queen mother appeared, in the form of a ghost, of course, in their dreams.

"Her ghost angrily rebuked the avenging angels, saying, 'How did you sleep soundly?

"'Listen, I am Queen Terra, and you have promised to avenge me!

"'You are chasing after the dragon that you should have caught a long time ago!

"'But now, because of your negligence, while sleeping on official duty, the murderer of the mother has fled!'

As she spoke, she shook the avenging angel from her dream.

The avenging angel jumped to his feet and ran unscrupulously towards the altar of the sheep-eyed angel.

"'Son of the Almighty,' the avenging angels cried to the sheep-eyed angels, 'don't deceive too much!

"'How dare you protect your mother's murderer and prevent us from punishing him!'

"'You have stolen him out of our hands!' Is it right for an angel to do this?'

"The sheep-eyed angel drove the terrible avenging angel from his altar temple;

He rebuked loudly.

The avenging angels pleaded loudly for their rights, but to no avail!

"The Sheep-Eyed Angel claimed that it was he, together with the angels of Apollo, who had ordered me to avenge my father, and that he was obligated to protect me.

In the end, the avenging angel had no choice but to retreat and flee as quickly as possible.

"So, the Sheep's Eye Angel entrusted me and my friend Radus, and of course Han, to the Thief Angel to protect us.

He himself returned to the top of Catherine's Mountain, where he stopped for a few more days, content to sit and watch the tiger fight, rather than meddle around.

"The avenging angel was afraid of the thief angel's golden scepter, so he just followed him from a distance and did not dare to do anything to me.

But then they got bolder and got closer.

"By the time Radus and I arrived safely in Midtown, the Avengeance Angel was behind the Rogue Angel.

"My friend Rades and my servant Xiaohan and I finally entered the temple gate of the altar of the sheep-eyed angel set up in the city.

At the same time, the terrible avenging angel also rushed in through the door.

"At that time, I was kneeling in front of the statue of the sheep-eyed angel and stretched out my hands to the sheep-eyed angel and begged him for help.

"I pleaded, 'Sheep-eyed angel, I have come to seek your protection at your command;

"'My hands are not stained with the blood of innocents.

"'I'm exhausted by the avenging angels!

"'I have come to you through countless cities and wildernesses at your will, and I ask your judgment before your statue!'

"The avenging angels suddenly shouted at me behind me.

"'We follow you, you criminal, like a hound chasing a deer!

"'We followed your bloody footprints into the temple gate, and you were finally stopped by us!

"'Mother's murderer, you will never find a refuge!'"

"'Not even Apollo nor the sheep-eyed angels can free you from eternal suffering!

"'Come, Avenging Angels, let us dance around him and drive him mad with our singing!'

Just as they were about to sing, a white light illuminated the temple, and the statue of the sheep-eyed angel suddenly disappeared.

"Standing in place was the sheep-eyed angel himself!

The blue eyes of the sheep-eyed angel emitted blue light, and he looked at the group of people in front of him with a serious expression.

"'Who dares to break in and disturb the peace of my temple?'

"The sheep-eyed angel asked, 'What kind of guests did I see in the temple!'

"A stranger embraced my altar, and three women who were not mortal stood behind him as if they were menacing.

"'Tell me, who are you, what do you want to do?'

"I was so frightened that I fell to the ground and didn't dare say a word.

But the avenging angels immediately replied, "Sheep-eyed angels, we are the angels of the night, the angels of revenge."

"'This man who defiled your altar and killed his own mother, judge him, and we will respect your judgment.

"'We know that you are a stern and just angel with great power, and you are particularly strong in combat!'

"'If you want me to referee, it's not impossible. ’

"The sheep-eyed angel replied, 'How, then, then, do you refute the accusations of these three angels?'

"'Tell me first, who are your ancestors, where is your hometown, what has happened to you?

"'Then you can make your defense and try to wash away the sins of which you are accused!'

"I've adjusted my mentality, it's useless to be afraid, it's likely to die faster!

"So I boldly raised my head, but still knelt on the ground and said, 'Sheep-eyed angel! I have not committed the unpardonable murder.

"'I am not holding your altar with a pair of unclean hands!

"'You may know my father, whose name is Noe.

"'He served as the military commander of the expedition to the eastern city at the foot of Mount Sinai, and with your assistance destroyed the acropolis of the eastern city.

"'But after his triumph he was killed!

"'My mother hooked up with her lover and plotted first to seize my father's throne and then to kill him.

"'When my father returned to the city for the first bath, he insidiously covered him with a net and killed him with a knife!

"'I was in exile for a long time, and it was only when I grew up that I returned to my homeland to avenge my father.

"'I do not deny that I killed my mother to avenge my father's murder, but it was also your brother Apollo, who commanded me to do so.

"'His edict told me that if I did not punish my father's murderer, I would be tortured forever.

"'Ah, mighty and merciful sheep-eyed angel, now judge whether I have done justly or unjustly. ’

"After listening to the litigation submissions of both of us, the sheep-eyed angel pondered silently for a while.

"I guess he's thinking about how to answer us.

He must have made up his mind about what was right and what was wrong, and he did not hesitate to make up his mind on that matter.

After about ten minutes, the sheep-eyed angel looked at the two of us again, and then said, "A big thing, say it slowly."

"'The case before us is peculiar and complex, and it is almost impossible for a human court to give a fair and convincing verdict.

"'Although I will still summon the judges of the world to decide, it is reasonable for you to come to me first.

"'I'm going to summon some mortal judges to the temple to preside over the judgment and let them decide.

"'If those judges have difficulty deciding, I will preside over the trial until the most just verdict is finally reached.

"'During this time, the stranger will be under my protection, and he may live in our city.

"'And you tyrannical avenging angels, return and do not defile my place of sacrifice.

"'Don't come here again until the court is in session.

"'Otherwise, if you are caught by me, Hugh will blame me for being ruthless and unkind!'

"'Both of you need to find for yourself evidence and witnesses to support your position to prove that what you say is right.

"'I will also choose the most upright and wise men in the city to try this case.

"'Because this city was founded in my name, and is under my public protection!'

As soon as the sheep-eyed angel spoke, those avenging angels no longer dared to stiffen their mouths, and turned back and walked away.

"When the time came for the trial, a messenger invited all those chosen by the sheep-eyed angel to a hillside in front of the city.

"This is the hill where the temple of the angels of war is enshrined, so it is called 'the mountain of the angels of war', and the sheep-eyed angels are waiting on the mountain.

"The plaintiff and the defendant had arrived, and at that moment a stranger also came and stood beside the defendant.

"Actually, this is the angel Apollo with the silver bow.

As soon as the avenging angel saw Apollo, he cried out in fright.

"'Apollo, you should go about your business!' What are you doing here?'

"'This person is what I should protect. ’

Apollo, the angel of the silver bow, pointed at me and replied.

"'He used to flee to my city, to my temple, and I washed away his blood.

"Therefore, it is only right that I stand with him.

"'For it was I who persuaded him to kill his mother, and said to him that this is a pious act that is welcomed by the Almighty!'

It was at this moment that the sheep-eyed angel stood up.

He asked the avenging angels to file a lawsuit.

"'We can ask questions straight to the point. ’

The oldest of the avenging angels spoke.

"'Accused, please answer my question: Did you kill your own mother?'

"'I don't deny it. I said, as if justified.

"But, actually, I was scared, and if I had seen me, I would have been so frightened.

"'How did you kill her?'

The avenging angel asked.

"'I,' replied passively to me, the defendant, 'cut her neck with a sharp sword. ’

"'Who told you to do this?'

The same avenging angel continued to ask.

"'The angel standing beside me has given me a decree that I should do so.

"'Here he is, to testify for me. ’

I replied.

Then I defended myself.

"When I killed Queen Tra, I did not see her as my own mother, but as my father's murderer.

"Apollo, the angel of the silver bow, also made a wonderful speech in my defense.

But the avenging angels were not to be outdone, and they retorted.

Apollo, the angel of the silver bow, described the murder of Nob as a heinous crime.

The Avenger of Vengeance, on the other hand, pointed out that the killing of the mother was a heinous crime.

"When they had finished their arguments, the sheep-eyed angel who presided over the trial spoke, saying, 'Let us now wait for the judges!'

"The sheep-eyed angel distributed to each judge, black and white, the black stone indicating guilt and the white stone indicating innocence.

Then he placed the small bowl of stones in the middle of the clearing, surrounded by a fence.

Before the judges voted, the sheep-eyed angel stood up from the chief judge's seat and spoke.

"'Citizens living in my city, please listen to the founder of your city.

"'Today, the judges you have elected have begun their first court trial.

"'All the citizens have seen with their own eyes how you carry out your duties.

"'From now on, you will keep this court forever.

"'This court will also be set up forever on this 'Battle Angel Mountain'.

"'Once upon a time, when the Amazonians were fighting against Theseus, enemy heroines were stationed here.

"'She sacrificed to the angels of war, hence the name of the mountain.

"'In the future, this will be the solemn court that will judge [the murder of loved ones].

"'The court will be composed of the most fair and honest men in town.

"'They should not be bribed, they are honest, they are strict, and they do everything in their power to protect all the people.

"'You should all uphold its dignity and make it the backbone of the city.

"'There is no such sacred place in the rest of the country or in other countries, and that is my hope for the future.

"'Now, judges, please stand up, remember your oath, and vote for the verdict of this case!'

Listening to the words of the sheep-eyed angel, the judges silently stood up from their seats.

Then they lined up to the bowl and threw the stones into it.

When all the people had cast their votes, another group of elected residents stood up and counted the black and white stones thrown into the bowl.

"After the counting, it turned out that the two stones were exactly the same number.

At this time, the vote that was decided was in the hands of the sheep-eyed angel.

The sheep-eyed angel stood up from his seat and spoke to everyone.

"'I am not born of my mother, I jumped out of my father's head, and therefore I defend the rights of men.

"'I can't stand on the side of a woman who shamelessly kills her own husband!

"'I think that Wulong's actions are reasonable, and that he did not kill his own mother, but his father's murderer.

"'He should live!'

So saying, she left the judgment table, took a white stone, and threw it into the bowl.

Then, she returned to her seat.

Still standing, he solemnly announced the outcome of the trial.

"'After a vote, a majority vote decided: Wu Long is not guilty, and now, he is free!'

"I asked to speak after the verdict was pronounced and the Angel agreed.

"I said with great emotion: 'Sheep's Eyed Angel, I am a man who has been deprived of his homeland.

"It is righteous that you have saved me, and you have saved my family, and all the kingdom will praise you for your kindness.

"'They will say that the son of Nou, the dragon has returned to the palace of his ancestors!

"'It was the justice of the sheep-eyed angel, the silver-bowed angel, and the ruler of the Almighty One, Satan Angel, who came up on high.

"'Otherwise, this would not have happened!'

"'I am about to return home, and I would like to take this opportunity to swear to the country and the people here!

"'All the people of my kingdom will never wage war against the inhabitants and people of your city.

"'If after my death, my people dare to break this oath, my soul will come out of the grave to punish him!'"

"'Farewell, outstanding sheep-eyed angel defending justice!

"'Goodbye, pious sheep-eyed angels shelter and bless the people of Midtown!

"'May you be victorious in wartime, and be happy and prosperous in peacetime in accordance with the will of the angels!'

After I said this, I left the Battle Angel Mountain with my friend.

"The avenging angel does not dare to offend the acquitted man, so he does not dare to continue to hunt me down.

In addition, he was also afraid of the divine power of the archangel Apollo, and he did not dare to act rashly.

"From now on, I can be considered safe, at least temporarily out of the shadow of my family's curse.

Still, the older spokesman for the Avengers stood up and spoke.

He was dissatisfied with the verdict of the sheep-eyed angel and boldly opposed the verdict that had been handed down in a terrifying and hoarse voice.

"'Oh my God! you young angels have trampled on the old laws!

"'But you bold ones, don't look at today's pride, for one day you will regret your verdict!'

"'There is the venom of resentment flowing in our angry hearts, and we will sprinkle it all over this land!

"We, the avenging angels of humiliation and ridicule, want to leave the cities and villages without grass and let the plague spread. ’

"When the angel Apollo heard their terrible curse, he was very worried, and he tried to dissuade them and calm them from their anger.

"'You should not be angry at the verdict! This is not your defeat and humiliation.

"'The number of black and white stones in the bowl is equal, and the judges have not wronged you.

"The defendant must choose between two sacred obligations;

"These two are compassion and punishment.

"There is no doubt that sympathy triumphs here.

"We angels bear the responsibility for judgment and therefore cannot blame the judges of the court.

This is actually the will of the Almighty!

"You should not take your anger out on innocent people.

"I assure you, in the name of the people, that you will be given a prominent position here and a sacred honor.

"The people of this city will be sacrificed year after year to worship you as just and merciless avenging angels!"

"The sheep-eyed angel also reaffirmed this promise when he said: 'Believe me, honorable avenging angels!

"'The citizens of this city will honor you, and men, women and children will sing your praises.

"'They will build your temple next to the king's temple!'

"'Whoever does not honor you will not be well-being!'

The avenging angel heard this promise and gradually calmed his anger.

They graciously agreed to live in this midtown, blessed by sheep-eyed angels.

They thought of having a temple in the most famous city, like the sheep-eyed angel and the silver-bowed angel Apollo.

"It's a supreme honor.

"So they became so gentle that they solemnly swore in the presence of the angels to bless the city.

"Deliver them permanently from drought, pestilence, and bad storms.

"It is also necessary to multiply livestock, to have happy marriages, and to cooperate with the Angels of Destiny to benefit the local people in every way.

They wished the people peace and tranquility.

In the end, the avenging angel left.

The sheep-eyed angel and the silver-bowed angel Apollo thanked them again and again, and all the citizens of the city sang praises and sent them out of the city.

"After my friend Rades and I left the main city of the Sheep's Eye Angels, we came back to the altar of the Apollo Angels.

"I went in, inside that temple, and asked for the angel's direction, hoping to know my future destiny.

"The priestess who presided over the temple told me that as the only prince of the kingdom left by my father, I had to first sail to the Rees Peninsula.

"Another angel who is close to the angel Apollo with the silver bow has a temple on that island, and I must snatch the statue from that temple by force or stratagem and bring it to the middle city of the sheep-eyed angel.

"According to local barbarian legend, that statue is a sacred relic that fell from heaven and has been enshrined there since ancient times.

"But the owner of that statue was the angel that Apollo was close to.

"He doesn't like to live with barbarian peoples, and wants to move to a civilized place and be worshiped by civilized people, and the best choice is Midtown, which is dominated by sheep-eyed angels.

"Raders has always been with his friend, who is me, Wulong, and has offered to accompany me on this dangerous mission, and of course Xiao Han has also been with him.

"The inhabitants of that island are the Tauris, a barbaric people known far and wide.

"It was their custom to kill all the strangers who landed on their islands and sacrifice them to the angels they worshipped, that is, to hunt angels.

"In times of war, the Tauris cut off the heads of their captives, put them on bamboo poles, and erected them on roofs to guard their houses.

According to them, a hung head can be condescending, looking down on everything, and avoiding disasters for them.

"There is another important reason why the priestess wants me to go to Tauris, the savage land, which is even more bizarre.

"For some time now, my father, Nou, at the suggestion of a prophet, Ercas, sacrificed his daughter Shua.

However, when the priest swung his sword and killed her, suddenly a deer fell to the ground, and Shuya was gone.

It was the angel hunter who took pity on her, picked her up, and flew her over the sea to the temple of the angel hunter in Tauris.

Then, when the barbarian king Toaz, who ruled the area, saw Shua, he made her a priestess at the temple of the Hunter Angels.

"According to the ancient custom, she had to sacrifice every stranger who landed on the coast to the angel hunter.

However, most of the people who were sacrificed were her fellow villagers from Xicheng or the earliest Nanshan people!

"The priestess's duty was simply to offer sacrifices to the angels of hunting.

And the one who was sacrificed was dragged into the temple and tied to a bench to be killed, and another person did it.

Still, she felt bad.

"When I took the assignment, I didn't know that.

"It wasn't until a while ago that the sheep-eyed angel told me that there were many other secret matters.

"One of the things that shocked me the most was that my eldest sister was still alive, and that she was the priest I was going to steal from the temple!

"Such a news made me, who was hesitant, change my will, and I must go!

In the message of the sheep-eyed angel, it was also said that Tauris, the wild land, did not know that after many years, Shuya had been loyal to his duty, so he was valued by the king.

The Tauris also respected her for her beauty and docility.

One night, she dreamed that she had left the land of the barbarians and returned to her lovely hometown of Nanshan County, where she slept in her parents' palace, surrounded by a group of maids.

Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet began to tremble. She fled from the palace in a panic and came to the outside of the palace, when the palace shook and collapsed.

The pillars of the palace were also broken, and only one pillar in my father's house was still standing.

Immediately, the stigma turned into a blond-haired human head and began to talk to her.

When she awoke, she forgot all that she had said, except that in the dream she was still faithful to her priestly duties, and sprinkled holy water on the pillar man in her father's house, so that he could be killed and sacrificed.

When she did this, she cried very sadly.

"Early the morning of the second day of Shuya's dream, my friend Rades and I went ashore at Tauris.

"After we came ashore, we did not stop to rest, nor did we care about the exotic scenery of the island, and we walked towards the temple of the angel hunter.

"Soon we arrived at the Temple of the Hunter and stopped to see its appearance.

"At first glance, the temple looks more like a prison.

"I finally broke the silence and said in frustration: 'What are we going to do now?

"But what if we walk into this unfamiliar building, it's like walking into a labyrinth and we can't get out?

"If we run into a guard and get caught, aren't we certain to die?

"We've all heard of how many of our own people have shed their blood on the altar of angel hunting, and that's terrible!

"Wouldn't it be wiser to go back to the ship now?"

"'If we go back, this will be the first time we have run away in the face of danger. ’

Raders replied that he was a more determined man than I was.

"'We must believe in the decree of the angels of Apollo, and he will protect us!'

"'But we must get out of here now, preferably in a cave by the sea.

"'In the dead of night, we can take risks.

"'We already know where the temple is, and we'll always find a way to get in.

"'As long as we get that statue, we won't be afraid that we won't find our way back!'

"'That's right!' I said happily, thanking the angel in my heart for arranging such a dear friend.

"'We should hide during the day and do it again at night.'" ’

But when the sun was shining, a shepherd hurried from the seashore to the priestess of the temple of the angel hunters.

At that time, the priestess was standing on the threshold of the temple, thinking about the distant ocean lookout, as if waiting for someone from afar.

He told her that two strangers had landed ashore.

"He said, 'Noble priestess, prepare a sacrifice to the angel hunter!'

"'Where did they come from?'

Shuya asked melancholy.

"'They're all from Southside.

The shepherd replied, 'We only know that one of them is called Radus, and they are now all caught by us.' ’

"'Tell me in detail,' said the priestess, 'what is this?'

"'We are bathing the cattle in the sea,' said the shepherd, 'and we are driving the cattle head-on-top into the sea, which is flowing over the reef in a raging way.

"The reef, as the locals call it, has a cave in the reef where fishermen who collect conch often rest.

"A shepherd saw two people in the cave, and we were about to start grabbing them, when suddenly a man jumped out of the cave, shook his head, and his hands shook violently, like a madman.

"He groaned and cried, 'Radus, Lardes, look there, dark huntress, she's the poison dragon of the underworld, she's about to kill me!'

"'Behold, she is coming towards me with a viper coiled around her head;

"'Look at the other side, a banshee, spitting fire from her mouth.

"'She's grabbing my mother, oh my God! she's going to kill me!'"

"'How can I escape her clutches?'

"The shepherd paused for a moment and then continued, 'We have not seen at all the terrible sight he speaks of!'
