Todd, who was hiding in the corner of the main hall, waited for all the gray-robed people to leave, and then carefully poked his head out and looked at the situation outside.

Before the chaos began, Tristan, who was hiding behind the screen, asked in a whisper, "How's it going outside?"

Todd shook his head at him, "You wouldn't want to see this...... The hall was full of the dead, a hundred people...... No, maybe more, probably less than half of the people who survived. ”

Tristan, who was lying on the ground, let out a long sigh: "Thank you for saving my life." ”

Todd patted his arm and gave him a smile.

Standing up, carefully avoiding the survivors' gaze from the edge of the corner, Todd made his way to the other side of the hall and found Dion hiding in the hollow of the ledge.

Looking at a bloody wound on the other party's calf, Todd frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Dion said depressedly, "At the beginning of the enemy's attack, I was stabbed in the smoke by a panicked nobleman who swung his sword indiscriminately. ”

Todd looked around and asked, "What about Mary?"

At the mention of her, Dieng was even more annoyed: "Originally, I was with her, but when his father was taken away, she couldn't be relieved and secretly followed." ”

Todd scratched the back of his head with a headache and said to Dion, "You hide here and don't move, I'll find someone to pick you up." ”

Dieng grabbed Todd's sleeve: "Your Majesty, you can't be alone!"

Todd smiled and pointed to the sky: "I'm not fighting alone, the reinforcements are above you and me." ”

An abandoned underground waterway in the Holy Acropolis.

Five gray-robed men carried Leorik and his son through the labyrinthine corridors underground, and finally stepped into a room deep in the underground tunnel.

Three wooden beds, still stained with blood, were quietly placed in the center of the room, and all kinds of experimental instruments, organ specimens, and herb bottles and jars were neatly stacked on shelves close to the wall.

One of the gray-robed men first lit the oil lamps around the room, while the others divided their work, some were busy putting Leorik and his son on wooden beds, and others began to set up pots to boil water and mix herbs.

When these things were busy, the five gray-robed men took off their hoods one after another, and four of them looked at the leader and waited for his orders.

"Seventeen, you go and take out the Grim Reaper. The leader, dressed in the gray robe of an astrologer and holding an oak staff in his hand, looked at the unconscious father and son of the Holy Acropolis, and said: "Twenty-one, you go and prepare the surgical equipment, twenty-seven, cut the hair of these three men with scissors, and thirty-three, go to the ferry of the underground river and get the boat ready." ”

After issuing these orders, the gray-robed leader found a chair, sat on it, folded his arms in front of his chest, and quietly watched his subordinates go about their business.

With the click of scissors, the father and son, who were originally unconscious, gradually woke up.

Matild and Sinclair find themselves on a wooden bed on a leash, and they can still smell a heavy smell of blood and rancid in their noses. Matild immediately cried out for help in fright, and he twisted his body desperately while his mouth kept begging for mercy.

Sinclair, on the other hand, struggled and found that he could not break free, but instead calmed down. He looked at his surroundings with a pale face, his eyes kept moving, and his mind kept thinking about how to get out.

The gray-robed leader saw the performance of the two of them, and suddenly laughed, and said, "It's really funny. ”

Leorik's faint voice came, "Heyat, how long will it take to complete the ritual?"

The gray-robed leader, known as Hayt, looked at Leoric: "Soon. ”

"My lord, my hair and surgical equipment are ready. ”

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Heyt, who was the fifth in line of the Discord Legion, stood up, walked to Leorick's bed, looked at the other party and said, "I believe I don't need to remind you of your agreement with the master, right?"

Leorik nodded: "I swear by my soul and obey the will of the Mother Goddess. ”

Hayt said coldly, "From today onwards, you will be given a new life by the Mother Goddess. Always remember that she can give you eternal life, and she can take away your life at any time. ”

"My lord, the Grim Reaper has brought it. ”

Hayt looked at the iron box in No. 17's hand and said softly: "Open it, pay attention not to move too much, otherwise we will alarm the things inside, and all our efforts will be in vain." ”

Seventeen swallowed, gently placed the iron box on the small table next to the wooden bed, carefully removed the copper locks on the top of the iron box, and then slowly opened the lid of the iron box.

The biting white cold air overflowed from the iron box, and surrounded by ice cubes, a transparent and crystal clear nematode was entrenched in the center of the ice, as if asleep.

Under the frightened gaze of the father and son, Hayt picked up a sharp drill and explained to them, "Wait a minute, I will use the drill to drill two small holes in the heads of the two participants in the ceremony." Then, I will bring the sleeping Grim Reaper close to the wound that has been drilled open. Feeling the warmth of flesh and blood, the Grim Reaper will slowly wake up, and burrow the front and back heads into the holes above the human head, Jinru your brain......"

"I don't want it! I don't want it!" Matilde, frightened by these words, began to struggle frantically in bed. The green tendons on his head were exposed, the corners of his mouth were drooling because of extreme fear, and the urine stains on his crotch slowly expanded due to incontinence.

After a few more moments, Matild's movements suddenly stopped, and he froze, completely slumped on the bed.

Seventeen walked up to Matild, opened his eyelids, felt his pulse, and then shook his head at Heyt: "Dead, I should be scared to death." ”

Hayt sighed and said to Leoric, "Continue what I just said, after the brains of the two Deaths, we will kill one of them." The Grim Reaper will drain the soul of the living and infuse it into the dead body. At this point, the ceremony is over, do you understand?"

Leorik turned his head sideways and glanced at Matild's body.

Seeing his eyes, Hayt explained, "In fact, as long as a person has been dead for no more than 12 hours, the corpse can be used as a carrier of the soul......"

At this point, he looked at Sinclair, who was terrified: "Of course, it is better to be alive than a dead carrier. ”

Leorick turned his head and stared at Sinclair's face, a look of resentment in his eyes, and his voice was faint: "Let's start." ”

Hayt gestured, and Seventeen poured a pre-concocted potion into Sinclair and Leorick's mouths.

Heyat took the drill and walked over the two of them, waiting for the paralyzing component in the potion to start working, and then began to start drilling.

At this moment, No. 33, who was heading to the underground river crossing to prepare for the boat, was suddenly thrown into the room by a huge force, knocking over the bottles and cans on the wooden shelves, attracting everyone's astonished attention.

Todd pushed open the door, patted the dust off his body, smiled at everyone in the room, and said, "Good day, everyone." You don't mind adding another person to your party, do you?"
