Chapter 607: City of Martyrdom (11)
Looking at the scattered enemies in front of her, Karin wiped the blood stains on the dagger from the warden's body, frowned, and said, "Waste of time." ”
Aldnan walked past Morton Chris's body and spat at the latter: "I thought it was a difficult guy. ”
Pedro looked sideways and whispered, "This warden is a fearsome figure in the capital, but when he dies, he is so ......."
Randall put away his sword and shield: "Let's hurry as soon as possible." ”
The group finally reached the third basement level of the prison.
Compared to the upper two floors, this floor is eerily quiet.
The cries of human pain could not be heard, nor the clattering of shackles, except for the sound of water droplets hitting the stone slabs.
Pedro lit the torch and walked at the front of the line: "The 'political prisoners' of the Church are held here, including the most evil apostasy, those who worship heresy, and those who have violated the doctrine. No one wants to set foot here, not even the jailers. ”
Aldenan wrapped his nose in a cloth and muffled, "There's a rancid smell here. ”
Pedro said softly, "I said that no one wants to set foot here, including those who collect corpses. ”
Randall opened his mouth and asked, "Where is the cell of Alchemy Professor Yevni?"
"Down the hallway, turn left at the first intersection, turn right at the second, and the room at the end is him. ”
Randall quickened his pace: "Hopefully it's still too late." ”
As they made their way through the long passages and finally reached their final destination, everyone gasped at the sight of something lying in the dimly lit cell.
That's not a human anymore.
His fleshy limbs had long since been broken, the skin below his neck had been peeled alive, and his entire body was littered with marks of rat gnawing.
Barbara took one look and forced herself to look back, "This is the person we're looking for?"
Pedro's face turned pale: "God, what exactly did they do to you?!"
Aldenan slumped, sat down on the ground, and said in frustration: "I've been busy for so long, but in the end I found a dead man?"
Carol turned to Pedro and asked, "Can you confirm that this guy on the ground is the Yevni we are looking for?"
Resisting the nauseous discomfort, Pedro leaned closer, and after a closer look, said: "Yes, I can be sure that this person is Yevni." ”
Bourville thrust his axe into the floor and roared in exasperation, "We failed! We failed the dragon god's expectations! I should have given my god the perfect victory......!
The lizardman stared at the "man" on the floor, and he suddenly said, "I can feel the faint heat in his body, and he's still alive." ”
Randall was shocked, and quickly lay on the ground, waving his hand to drive away the rats on the ground, and attached his ear to the other's chest.
"Kellogg was right, Yevni still had a heartbeat, but it was very faint. ”
Seeing Randall's look, Kellogg shook his head, "I know you're thinking, but that's impossible. This man is not far from death, and any treatment is in vain. ”
Randall asked in a heavy tone, "In other words, we can't save him?"
Kellogg nodded.
Randall took out the dragon-shaped badge that Todd had given him before leaving, placed it quietly on Yevni's chest, and said, "If we can't save his life, at least we can redeem his soul." ”
The moment the dragon-shaped emblem touched Yevni, Randall's soul was immediately drawn into the heavens.
Between the majestic mountains, a giant dragon hovers in between.
A middle-aged man with a mustache and a college professor's robe looked at the dragon and was so shocked that he couldn't close his jaw.
"You're Yevni, the alchemy professor at the Royal Academy of Taylor?"
A deafening sound came from the dragon's mouth, scaring Yevni to the ground.
Todd stretched the dragon's head out of the clouds and looked at the mortal at his feet: "Don't panic, don't be afraid. The candle of your life has been extinguished, but the light of your soul has entered the kingdom of heaven. ”
"Heaven?" Yevni was clearly confused: "I've heard people say that word. ”
Todd looked at Randall, "Are there any other survivors besides him?"
Randall shook his head helplessly.
"No! no, there are others alive!" Yevni suddenly exclaimed when he heard Todd's question, "Great god! besides me, there is a group of people in need of help!"
"Who?"
Yevni fell to his knees and buried his head deep in the direction of the dragon: "Child!
Randall asked suspiciously, "Kid?"
"In the Church's heretical arrests, in addition to scholars and nobles convicted of apostasy, many underage children were also arrested and imprisoned. Yevni said excitedly: "Most of them are from the families of the people who were arrested, although they are not the main culprits, but they are still implicated!"
Randall hurriedly asked, "Where are these kids?"
"They are all locked up in the confessional at the back of the Great Chapel!" Yevni's voice trembled, "As long as you can save them, I am willing to give my knowledge, my soul, and everything for this great god in front of me!"
Randall turned his face to Todd and got down on one knee: "Holy King, please give us the order to rescue those children!"
Todd looked at Randall, was silent for a moment, and then said, "It won't be long before Taylor City will be breached, and those children will be rescued." ”
Randall raised his head and said eagerly, "When the city is breached, those crazy church thugs will do anything, and no one can guarantee the safety of those children!"
Todd was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Go, I agree to your request and rescue those children." But remember, keep the soul badge I gave you at all times. ”
Randall nodded vigorously, and his soul was instantly sent out of space.
When Randall opened his eyes, he found that everyone around him was looking at him.
Kellogg said: "Yevni is dead. ”
Looking at the long-dead corpse on the ground, Randall stood up: "His soul has been accepted by heaven. ”
Hearing this, the minotaur and the lizardman slowly closed their eyes and bowed their heads reverently towards the dragon-shaped emblem.
Randall put the badge back around his neck and said to everyone, "Guys, let's get out of here, the Holy King has given us a new mission. ”
