Chapter 53—The Coming of the Mourner (9)

It was arguably the safest night in St. Sophie in the months since the indomitable city of St. Sophie was surrounded by apostles. With these barbarian reinforcements stationed in the Indomitable City, Magellan VII left all the other troops resting except for symbolically arranging more than 200 soldiers to guard the outer city. After all, after so many months of continuous fighting, and most of the newly replenished troops were peasants who had just taken up arms, it was time for them to rest for a night and spend time with their families.

Of course, Magellan VII did this not because he believed in these barbarians, who seemed even more terrible than the apostles outside the city, but because he trusted McGregor. One of the Four Heralds of the Holy City, these four great Heralds can be said to be the spiritual leaders of this magical nascent continent in a way. MacGray could even give him his own throne if he wanted to.

However, what made Magellan VII arrive is that not long ago, McGregory completely forgot the etiquette that suited his identity as if he had found gold, and pushed the guards guarding the palace and shouted that Magellan VII had found a treasure.

Although Magellan VII didn't seem to be much less surprised when he first learned that the kid named Viren was actually a wizard who had never appeared in the wizarding world than McGregory now, he always felt that it was quite fun for a master of the wizarding world and one of the spiritual leaders of the continent to be so surprised.

After MacGray realized that he had taken his unruly farewell, Magellan VII finally left the palace and came to the palace with peace of mind since Catna stormed the city.

Time passed like quicksand, until the next morning, when Magellan VII, who had just woken up from his deep sleep, was completely dispelled from his sleep by the remarkable Simos who had arrived in a hurry.

"No wonder I can't find you, so you're here. In a hurry, Simus handed a note to Magellan VII and said, "This is a letter from them, I think it's interesting, you should take a good look at it." ”

Magellan VII took the note, and when he read it, he was shocked, and hurriedly asked the remarkable Simos, "Your Excellency, what is the matter?"

The remarkable Simus sat down on the bed with a big grin, and after drinking the glass of rum on the table by the way, he did not forget to wipe the remaining liquor off his lips with his hands, and replied for a long time: "This was flown in from outside the city a little earlier today, so I said it was very interesting." They have you sent three men and three of them to a best-of-three duel this afternoon, and if you win, they will retire unconditionally and never again. And if they win you must give up Hagia Sophie, and they will put you into their world to do your best. However, if they do not reply, they will slaughter all creatures in Hagia Sophie after taking over Hagia Sophie in the future. And they used the name of the apostles to determine the veracity of this confrontation. Personally, the first option is nothing more than the best option, and I like it too. The other is to see for yourself. I'm convinced that they should be more cruel than I am. ”

Magellan VII silently looked at these notes, which were deliberately composed of human words, and did not speak. After thinking about it for a long time, he asked, "Your Excellency, if we choose the first one, who shall I send to fight them? Moreover, will they be as they promised? I mean, if we win." Will they really stop violating us?"

The remarkable Simos looked solemnly at the somewhat thin king, and said slowly, "If I were them, then if I lost, I would never break my promise." As for who to send, I naturally wanted to go, and the other two people I suggested, the boy who knew a lot of magic and the elven archer. I hadn't met her, but I'm sure she'd agree. ”

"Let's call Qi Tianci to go, for some reason, I always have special confidence in him, maybe it may be that he has brought me too many surprises, and I don't realize that he is the spokesperson of miracles. ”

"That's your business, the Human King. The remarkable Heemus stood up and took his leave. Even if you only send two grandmothers, I will lead them to victory. ”

Time came to noon in an instant, and Viren and Qi Tianci, who were still taking a lunch break, followed the excellent Simos to the outside of the city in a daze, and at this time, there were three apostles waiting for them.

Qi Tianci's sharp eyes saw Wyatt, who had almost razed his Xiangyun Society to the ground, and couldn't help but whistle briskly, and said a little bitterly: "Isn't this the stupid big guy who completely destroyed my Xiangyun Society, why, finally escaped back to your nest? What about your huge scythe? From time to time, which of your female clan has used it to pay off debts?"

The enemy was very red when they saw each other, and as early as when the three of them had just come out of Saint Sophie, they had noticed this little worm that had knocked on it several times, and just wanted to pick up the hammer but was stopped by a smiling shadow. I could only stare at the little insect with hatred.

What caught Viren's attention was the little girl standing in the middle of the three apostles and the apostle with a pair of wings on her right hand, although Viren didn't know this apostle, but looking at its temperament and appearance that even by human standards it was a beautiful man, it should be sure that it was the commander of all the apostles, and what really made him feel terrible was the petite girl who stood in the middle of the three apostles and was almost no different from the little human girl, this beautiful girl faintly exuded an aura that made Viren constantly feel palpitations, if it weren't for the excellent Simus who made him feel stronger, Viren would even have the urge to run away。

It turned out to be another girl, and it seemed to be more beautiful and cute than Leixi's little girl. The outstanding Simus shook his head in disappointment and said, "Little girl, let's go, uncle doesn't want to hurt you." ”

The shadow grinned at the remarkable Simos, and jumped around him a few times before returning to his original position: "As I thought before, it seems that I really can't beat you." But I have told my master that I must fight, and if I don't, I will not be worthy to lead the apostles. ”

"Ruling the Apostles?" asked Viren, his eyes widened, and he asked incredulously, "You mean, you are the king of the Apostles?"

"Hello, I've heard of you. Shadow smiled at a shocked Viren and said, "My name is Shadow, but you can also call me the Mourner." ”
