Two figures, one gray and one black, one old and one young, stood at the top of the slope of the watchman's town, facing the lights of the world below, and the laughter of the people came from their ears.

The old man clenched the cross on his chest and lowered his head: "The name of the Father is used by the younger to make a profit. The Lambs of the world have long forgotten the admonition of God, and have only the faces of the powerful in their eyes. ”

The young man stretched out his palm, blocking the light in his field of vision: "These days, I have taken you through the path of blood of your ancestors, I have taken you to see the dark hell of the victims, don't you have so much pity and sympathy for the injustice and atrocities suffered by the aliens? Don't you have the slightest suspicion of the so-called Heavenly Father?"

The gray-robed old man turned his face to the young man, who had not heard from him for a long time, and only heard him say, "No, laryngeal bone, you have made a mistake. Under Heavenly Father, all beings are equal. Whether it's a heterogeneous species, or an ordinary person. In the highest flock, there is only a difference in color and size. The root of all this evil lies in the fact that the Father is not at fault in the Church in the name of God. ”

The throat bone withdrew his palm expressionlessly: "If you have to think like this, I won't blame it." Anyway, although we have different philosophies, the enemy is one. ”

Master Myris turned his head back toward the town down the hillside, folded his palms together, placed the cross in it, and silently said, "You will be betrayed by your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and some of you will be killed." You will be hated by all men for God's name, but not a single hair of your hair will be lost. Preserve ye by perseverance the ...... of your souls" (St. Luke 21:12–19)

"Alright, our little experiment is about to begin. I advise you to find a good position first, and if you miss any of the highlights, you will regret it for the rest of your life......" Larynx said this, clapping softly. The sudden sound of chains behind him made him look back, and then smiled happily: "Look, look! Master Myris, your son can't wait to join this grand carnival!"

The old man slowly raised his head and looked at the huge distorted shadow in the darkness, tears of pain flowed from the cloudy old eyes, his body trembled, and his voice was out of shape: "Father, please forgive me for my sins......

——————————————

The convoy escorting Crystal stopped in the square at the bottom of the town's slope.

Offered to stay in the town's inn, the knight Alfonso rejected the offer, silencing the complaints and placing the camp outside the town for safety reasons.

After dinner, one after another, among the church's escorts, soldiers slipped to Watch Town to "enjoy life". The knight saw that he did not stop him, but he sat on the ground with his hands on his chest, his back against the carriage full of crystals, and his great sword also rested horizontally on his lap, assuming the appearance of being stationed all night.

After Todd finished dinner and said hello to the others, he began to look for Karin in the camp.

After some searching, I finally found the girl in the woods below the hillside.

Slowly approaching her from behind, grabbing her hand, Todd spoke, "Karin, we have to talk. ”

There was a scream, and the girl threw the stone in her hand into the distance. In the next second, there was only a cloud of air in the priest's hand, and the figure of the other party appeared ten meters away.

This damn "attachment" ability!

Todd scolded secretly in his heart, with a hurt expression on his face: "Karin, what did I do wrong, you want to avoid me like this?"

The girl bit her lip and said nothing.

The priest took a few steps closer and said, "If you don't want to see me, I can stop seeing you." ”

"No!"

Karin's urgent denial gave him a glimmer of hope.

Moving a few steps further, Todd spoke in a sad tone: "I always thought that there was a tacit understanding between us, a trust. Is this wishful thinking on my part?"

"It's not. I trust you unconditionally, Todd......"

The body quietly moved forward two or three meters, and the girl's body was already close at hand, but the more times like this, the more she had to slow down: "Then why are you alienating me?"

Karin lowered her head and looked at the grass beneath her feet, her words staccato "Am I ...... Stupid?"

The priest, who wanted to get closer, was stunned when he heard this: "What are you talking about?"

"There's the cathedral, the time we tried to save you, I messed up on something so simple. Later, in the harbor of twilight, I couldn't help much. And you are different, wherever you go, people look up to you and praise you......"

That's kind of ...... Low self-esteem?

Todd touched the bridge of his nose, that carefree and freewheeling girl will also have an inferiority complex?

When he came to Karin's side, while the other party was secretly sad, he carefully took the girl's hand, looked at the other party's black pupils, and said gently: "I don't have any relatives in this world, but from the first time I saw you, you were by my side, even if you didn't do anything, just looking at me quietly like this, it made me feel familiar and warm." You're a special presence for me......"

When the girl heard this, a soft place in her heart suddenly became warm, and a thought called happiness filled her chest.

Look at each other and hold hands.

Just as this beautiful moment was about to freeze, a terrible scream came from the watch.

Putting aside the tenderness in his heart for the time being, Todd hurried back to the camp with Karin.

On the way back, more wails and shouts kept coming to my ears.

Alfonso stood in front of the carriage with his two-handed sword in his hand. His eyes looked into the distance, but his feet did not move for a minute.

"What happened?"

The knight shook his head and answered the priest's question.

Someone suggested going to the town to have a look.

Alfonso once again objected, and the Holy See was tasked with guarding the crystal relics, and it was taboo for his subordinates to leave their posts without permission.

After waiting for a while, the town was full of fires, and the chaos spread like wildfire, and the sounds of fighting and cries filled the sky over the entire town.

"Have our people come back from town?"

"My lord, not yet!"

Alfonso gripped the hilt of his sword tighter, his eyes full of anxiety.

At that moment, a woman stumbled through the entrance to Watch Town, covered in blood and in a trance.

"Save my ...... Kid ......"

Muttering these words in a whisper, the woman fell to the ground, struggling to get up.

One of the sergeants closest to her hurriedly ran forward, picked up the wounded, and shouted, "Hey, wake up, can you hear me, what's going on in the town?!"

In the next second, a mutation suddenly appeared.

The woman suddenly sat up from the ground, her limbs bound the sergeant like shackles. The mouth was wide open and he bit the other person's lip. With a lift of the neck and a pull of the mouth, a large piece of flesh was torn off the other party's chin.
