Chapter 82: The Moonlit Night of Aretta Venu
Looking down from the sky, the entire port of Annam is on the edge of the river to the ocean, and it is said that the lake is still fresh water in the port of Annam, and in the past one kilometer, it slowly turns into seawater.
The whole port, which is now just an unfinished city, has been designed to have a square in the center and a pier that has been largely built, but the four main streets centered on the square are very spacious, but the surrounding buildings are not finished.
A gorgeous aristocratic carriage came slowly from the shade of the trees in the distance, a dark-haired man lay in the carriage and covered his face with a book to take a nap, and a beautiful red-haired and snow-skinned girl waved a small fan beside him to dispel his dryness.
Shi Yinghu was taking a nap, and he vaguely dreamed of an angel descending from the sky.
In the dream, accompanied by the overwhelming white-gold holy light falling, is a faintly glorious human figure, he wears a helmet that can't tell whether it is metal or crystal, and he can't see the human face under the helmet, or he can't see the other person's face clearly in the dream, but he feels that the distant and mysterious is like the vast starry sky of eternity, and the long silver hair like a solidified streamer is draped on both sides of the helmet.
He was draped in a pair of armor that was tightly knit, as if it were part of his body, and the armor shone with a glittering divine light, and this armor was so dazzling that it was like the light of the sun weaving this heavenly robe.
Behind him were bright wings composed of countless flowing lights, which were constantly changing and jumping, weaving in the void in a rigorous and orderly manner, as if constructing and expounding some kind of great rules and order that passed through heaven and earth.
However, with the advent of his sword, he slashed with a sword!
The glorious golden red light, like a rolling overflow smashed down, the divine grace is like the sea, the divine power is like a prison, under the reflection of the holy light, the angel's body seems to become more and more huge, standing up to the heavens and the earth, to completely fill the world and the world.
(I knew that I would always be chased and cut down by angels in my life!) I knew that I was dreaming, but I couldn't wake up, but even if I was dreaming, Shi Yinghu still didn't have the habit of sitting still and being captured, and the heavy armor that diffused the cold aura suddenly wrapped the fist of the right hand, and the next moment, under the urging of the dragon and tiger's extinction hand, it slammed into the blazing light and burning sword blade.
Rumble!
The majestic energy spread out around the two bodies, radiating 36 degrees in all directions, shattering the earth and disintegrating everything.
In the pure white dream world, more and more demonic characteristics appeared on Shi Yinghu's body, under the impact of the holy light sword qi, he quickly flew backwards, and then suddenly landed on a cliff, the huge recoil made the entire cliff crack and disintegrate, but at the same time, the shell of Du Ruier on Shi Yinghu's body suddenly expanded the gap behind him, gushing out rolling ice and blazing flames, forming huge ice and fire wings, turning into a path.
"If my feeling is not wrong......" While whispering, Shi Yinghu fished behind his back with his right hand, and the next moment, in the void behind him, he pulled out a vertebral bone sword wrapped in tens of thousands of degrees of high temperature flames, and the blazing flames formed a golden-red dragon head roar out of thin air, as if it contained endless resentment.
"Is this what I'm going to get in the future? What might I get? Or whatever?"
For Shi Yinghu's question, the holy angel on the opposite side did not answer, he set up a swordsmanship frame, and once the wings under his feet and back were exerted, the whole person slammed into the opponent like a burning sun, and at this time, scales had appeared on the skin around Shi Yinghu, top horns had grown on his forehead, and his eyes were dark red, and multiple highly demonized characteristics appeared.
"In the beginning of the world, the earth was empty and chaotic, and the abyss was dark. The Spirit of God walks on the waters. God said, 'Let there be light.'" And there was light. β
"God saw that light was good, and he separated the light from darkness. β
Accompanied by bursts of sacred recitations in the void, the sun descended from the sky!
A boundless fireball huge enough to occupy the entire sky burned fiercely, casting its light, which was ten thousand times more fierce than the sun, into the world, as if it was going to completely burn everything with light and heat, evaporate everything, and reduce the whole world to nothing!
With the angel in front of him rushing down, he turned into the great sun and fell down, and this is no longer the scorching sun falling into the sea, in fact, this scorching sun is far greater than the world below, giving people the feeling of ...... The whole world is attracted by the scorching sun, and it falls to the sun like a tiny moth throwing itself into a blazing torch!
This is a blow that will destroy and purify the whole world!
"The first angel declared: the everlasting gospel and the judgment of God. β
"The second angel declares that the power of sin will fail. β
The third angel declared: Those who follow the "beast" (the enemy of God) will suffer eternal suffering. β
The fourth angel declares that there are two kinds of "harvests"βblessed and cursed, eternal life and eternal death. β
There are still hymns coming from the void, and the splendor of the angel in front of him alone is enough to make the unhostile reverence like a god, and the stubborn to be terrified!
"Houyi shoots the sun, Jingwei reclaims the sea, Nuwa makes up the sky, and Dayu controls the water...... After the founding of the country, I am not allowed to become a spirit again!" The wings of ice and fire on his back absorbed and devoured all the flames on the white bone sword, and the next moment, with Shi Yinghu's body as the center, countless ice blue diffusion swords erupted to tear the sky and level the universe.
The ice blue sword qi was too much and too dense, straight like the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, wave after wave of endless emptiness and killing, constantly impacting the golden-red scorching sun that was rushing down.
The sword qi rushed towards the flames! The flames burned the sword qi! Where the two intersected, there was an endless explosion!
The faint dark blue Shi Yinghu's icy sword aura, the blazing and dazzling Great Sun Golden Flame of the Destroying Angel, the magma was a scorching dark red, and burned into cyan smoke and white steam...... These colors are mixed together and exploded together into a molten molten slurry of fire tree honeysuckle!
Boom, boom! boom!
In the endless explosion, the whole world was no longer able to reach the sky, the earth, the heaven and the earth, and everywhere was filled with dark blue ice sword qi and blazing sun golden flames, the two were mixed, touched, and exploded.
The flames were intense, with endless explosions, burns, light, heat, and destruction.
This is truly a glorious spectacle that is completely beyond the limits of human imagination, an incomparable visual feast, and it is a splendid and beautiful that represents the ultimate destruction!
"Demon, your existence will destroy this world!" The surrounding clouds suddenly broke open, and the Angel of Destruction slashed down with a sword in both hands, and the world seemed to be cut open by his slash, a fiery and hideous wound was cut open, and the sight was shocking.
Boom!
Shi Yinghu's body leaned slightly, and then rushed up, the two swords struck, although the overflow of energy was not as majestic and terrifying as just now, but the impact of the sword intent of the two sides was not reduced in the slightest.
"Since it has been called a demon, do you still want me to sacrifice myself to protect this world? There is life and death, there is prosperity and naturally decline, if this world is fragile to the point that it will perish if I don't die, then let it perish as soon as possible, in the heavens and universes, weakness is the most unforgivable original sin!"
Although I don't know what's going on, although I don't know why there are angels in my dreams and I want to kill myself wholeheartedly, but for a killing talent like Shi Yinghu, I am too lazy to solve the mystery and have no interest in understanding, for an enemy who wants to kill him desperately, it is enough for him to fight wholeheartedly.
(It's a beautiful life, I can meet an opponent who matches me in a dream, come on, let me kill it, see what kind of difference there is between killing angels and killing demons!) At this moment, Shi Yinghu completely gave up any defense, and protected himself with the heavy armor on his body with mysterious footwork, and most of the spirit, just cared about the white bone sword in his hand that was rekindled by flames, and one after another split like a landslide, and the ground under his feet was seriously cracked and sunken, like a wave churning.
After making sure that the opponent in front of him was indeed a demonic heart that was firm and unmatched, and it was impossible to shake it at all, the archangel didn't say anything more.
The crimson sword qi that loomed pure gold seemed to be a meteor passing through the sky, and the scorching sun pierced through the clouds, without any false decorations, without any superfluity, without gaps, without detours, and some were just demon guardians, the most righteous and magnificent simple sword intent!
One yin and one yang, one light and one dark, the two extreme sword intent sword energies are intertwined and agitated with each other, derived by force, infinitely superimposed and amplified, so that the two people wrapped in sword light in mid-air flow, twisted, sometimes like countless tiny snakes twisted and entangled, sometimes like a giant dragon that overturns the river and the sea, roaring and rolling, and finally exploding and bursting.
"You're defeated!" With the impact of this thought, the white bone sword was twisted into the air, and the Angel of Destruction had just said this, but in front of him was a rapidly enlarged fist.
"Stupid, Lao Tzu is not good at using swords. The blow was extremely heavy, and it bombarded the center of the void face, and the next moment, the entire dream world shattered.
..................
"Kate, wake up, wake up. Inside the carriage, with a gentle push, Shi Yinghu opened his eyes in a dazed state, and what he saw was the delicate face of Aretta Venu like the goddess of dawn.
"Really, you've always been energetic, and you can't wake up from a nap today. Hurry up and wake up, Rosald's house is about to arrive, don't let people wait and lose etiquette. Aretta Venu washed the handkerchief with cold water on the side, then handed it to Shi Yinghu and asked him to wipe his face.
"Wow, I just had a groggy dream. Aretta, isn't there any big plan for the Bright Sanctuary lately, I actually dreamed of angels just now. Shi Yinghu wiped his cheeks with a handkerchief, feeling a slight pain, and he seemed to say this indifferently, as if he was joking.
"Huh, you're not religious. However, there have been more rituals recently, but this is a good thing, under the guidance of the gods, we can suppress the demonic plague to a greater extent and protect the world. "Although Aretta is religious, she is not a fanatic, and she has no habit of forcing others to believe in religion as well, after all, this world is not just a class system of paladins that holds power.
The reason why Aretta woke up Shi Yinghu was because Rosalde's house was almost there, and while the two were talking, the carriage gradually stopped, and the words of his disciple Indar came from outside the car, Shi Yinghu sorted out the description, and then opened the door and stepped out of the carriage.
A deep castle, huge and quaint, towering over the hills, castles, territories, and titles constitute the foundation of a nobleman, so a majestic castle will last for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Shi Yinghu took Aretta's hand and came to the front of the castle, where people from the Rosald family were already ready to greet him in advance.
At the top of the castle in front of you, there is a banner painted with a dragon claw, which is the flag of the family crest, and the meaning of a dragon claw means that this family is a family of warlocks.
Of course, not everyone in this family can revive the bloodline of the ancient dragon.
"Welcome, esteemed Master Kate, and our beautiful Miss Arletta, your presence has added to the glory of the Rosalde family. "The leader of the Rosalde family is actually a very plump and beautiful woman, she has long dark red hair, snow-white skin, and at this moment she pulls the hem of her skirt with both hands, which is very charming.
Madame Rosald saluted, and a large crowd behind Madame Rosalde also saluted, one of the more handsome young men was quite eye-catching, and Madame Rosald deliberately let him out and let him stand in a more conspicuous position.
"This is the youngest son of the deceased husband, Nissen Rosald, who is very obedient, but a little withdrawn and not good at communicating, especially after his father's death. β
The two sides chatted and then walked into the majestic ancient castle together. Although Kate Bryan was about the same age as Nissen Rosald, his status was equal to that of the owner of the place, Madame Rosald, and not with Nissen Rosald, but Indar Heru, who followed him, took on this responsibility, and the two exchanged happily along the way.
Since both parties have the meaning of closeness, the lunch meal soon after is more intimate.
The number of dishes arranged on the long table is not very large, but each dish is enough to reflect the dignity of the Viscount family, after all, it is a local noble family with an annual income of more than 100,000 gold coins, and it is also a pivotal family in the southern realm.
At night, everyone goes to bed, although the Rosalde family has prepared a banquet and invited local celebrities, but the banquet will not be held on the night of the arrival of the guests, the long journey in this world is still very tiring, even if the guests are not needed as professional witchers, but the decent family will still miss a day or two for the guests to rest and recuperate.
Under the moonlight and lights, in the castle corridor, Shi Yinghu leaned against the wall, listening to Indar's report.
"According to Hera's information, the old duke was killed by the lady who entertained us today, and then she killed the eldest son of the old duke. β
"Because of such rumors, the distant relatives of the Rosalde family did not dare to come at all, for fear of being killed by that lady, although I made friends with Neeson today, but after all, it was the first day of meeting, and I have not had a chance to talk about this topic, and this Neeson is simple-natured, I am afraid that even if he is willing to cooperate with us, he will not be able to dig up anything of value at all. Indar said this with a cold expression, and he could no longer see the cheerful enthusiasm of the day, or rather, this was his true true face.
"You don't have to dig up anything, if it's a simple power struggle, then the strong and the weak die, the survival of the fittest, even if Madame Rosald does something, we don't need to administer justice for the dead, I'm more concerned about the dark sacrifice activities, do you have any information on this?" Shi Yinghu leaned against the wall and asked.
"Hardshire and Annam have recently gone missing, and later found several corpses, each of which was drained of blood, some say it was a vampire haunt, others say that it was Lady Rosald who performed a dark sacrifice to kill the old duke, this is the only clue so far. Indar took out a document and handed it to his teacher, Shi Yinghu took it and looked at it for a moment, closing his eyes and pondering.
"I don't think it's a vampire, vampires are very clever at handling corpses to hide their whereabouts, it should be someone who did a dark sacrifice, but I don't know if that person is Lady Rosald or not. β
"Alright, it's late at night, Indar you go and rest, anyway, we have to stay here for a while, they shouldn't dare to do it again, we have enough time to slowly get the poisonous rats out. β
"Yes, teacher, please rest early. Indar withdrew after giving the salute.
After Indar left, Shi Yinghu walked to the window of the promenade and watched the bright moon and stream outside the castle, the daytime dreams, and the dark rituals of Hadershire, all of which were twisted together one by one, and it was disturbing.
It's just that, even if you are upset, you still have to do what you have to do, the dark sacrifice incident in Hader County is the closest to the movement of the demon king among all the information in the southern realm recently, in terms of devouring the magic canon, at least you have to devour hundreds of legendary demons to be worthy of devouring a demon king, therefore, if there is a movement of a demon king-level demon, in Shi Yinghu's view, it is far more cost-effective and efficient than slaughtering a legendary demon.
At this time, Shi Yinghu saw the stone tower in the distance, the wooden window of the tower was pushed open, and there was a young girl in a nightdress bathed in the moonlight, although the distance between the two sides was very far, but Shi Yinghu's eyesight was so terrible, if there was no discipline, he could even directly see through the thin gauze and appreciate the beautiful carcass of the girl.
Back then, Shi Yinghu himself was not a person with a lewd heart, and he was accompanied by his beloved people such as Finney and Arleta, but this ability had never been used.
The beautiful young girl blew the wind in the moonlight for a while, but the next moment she was pulled back by a figure behind her, and then closed the wooden window.
At this time, the door behind Shi Yinghu was pushed open, and Aretta poked her head out with sleepy eyes.
"You don't sleep at night, you can't wake up during the day, Kate, I remember that your habits weren't so bad. "Aletta and Shi Yinghu don't live together, but the bedrooms that the two are arranged are closely connected, so that no one knows if the two of them are not together at night, and in this regard, it really reflects the carefulness of the big family with a long heritage.
"I just took a nap today, and I've been being talked about by you, why did you wake up? I remember that you have always slept very solidly?"
"Maybe it's because the castle is too dark to live in, and I feel that I don't have a manor to live comfortably. Aretta came to Shi Yinghu's side, and the two chatted with each other.
"Of course, the main function of the castle is military defense, and solidity is its first requirement, as for the lighting, etc., it is impossible to be satisfactory, and the rooms of the two of us are already the best of all the rooms. As he spoke, the man reached out and stroked Aretta's cheek and neck.
"Kate, you're so nice to me......" As if enjoying the warmth of the palm, Aretta closed her eyes and leaned her arms on the eaves of the window, whispering.
"Kate, do you think the two of us will be together forever?"
"Of course, does this need to be questioned?"
"But we are witchers, and no matter how powerful the witchers are, we may one day die in the battle with the demons. β
"Then it becomes incredibly powerful, more powerful than all demons...... I'll protect you at all times. β
Under the moonlit night, the fragrance of the girl's hair lingered, but at this moment, Shi Yinghu had no lust in his heart, only a sense of warmth...... Too pure Arletta, she really believed.
...
The next day, when the bright sunlight shone in, the paladin girl, who was too tired to move a finger, was full of grievances.
Yesterday was such a warm situation, but when I woke up, I was already hugged to bed.
"Really, scum, beasts, big liars...... People originally wanted to give it to him on the wedding day, would he be irresponsible?" Feeling the changes in her body, Aretta no longer had the cultivation of a young grandmaster at this moment, and her heart was full of fragmented thoughts of gains and losses, and she was at a loss.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Aretta was suddenly startled and wanted to cover her head with the quilt, but was forcefully pulled off by the person who came in, so frightened that Aretta hurriedly grabbed the quilt with this pervert and covered her chest tightly.
"Come over and eat, and if you're still tired after eating, go back and rest. Shi Yinghu held the plate and said with a smile.
"Scum...... I believe in you so much. β
"Now you know, right? I'd rather believe the devil's whisper than a man's mouth, No, hurry up and eat, it's noon, aren't you hungry?"
After being reminded by Shi Yinghu, Aretta reacted and her little stomach was so hungry that she gurgled.
"It's noon now? So, the others aren't ......."
"Don't worry, I said that you were infected with the wind chill yesterday, as long as you recover well, no one will notice and no one will laugh at you. This is apple soup, this is pork lung porridge, these are all specialties of my hometown, I guarantee you have never eaten them and will love them. Shi Yinghu half-knelt on the bed and wanted to feed Alita, but was desperately rejected by the little girl.
The precepts of the Bright Sanctuary are clear, not to mention premarital behavior, even post-marital behavior is suppressed, although Aretta broke the vows for Shi Yinghu, but her concept of chastity and shyness index are still far higher than the average line, and she refuses to let Shi Yinghu feed her at all.
However, the two dishes in front of her are really good, the pork lung porridge is fragrant and delicious, the apple sweet soup is warm and luscious, and Aletta is not stupid, of course she can see that the two dishes in front of her are made by Kate herself, otherwise, where to find a chef who specializes in local cuisine in remote areas at the Duke of Rosalde's house in Hardshire. The cannibalistic mouth is short, especially when the other party makes it very delicious, and gradually, Aretta's grievances will disappear. For the sake of the man in front of him, he completely forgot how much trouble he would have if this matter was discovered.
And Shi Yinghu, he is not simply lustful, he can endure it in Wenerta, and he has to take Areta's blood in Hardshire.
He was particularly concerned about the dream from yesterday's day, as well as the enhancement of the "Seraphic Power" in Aretta's body.
As a fifth-order transcendent essence, Shi Yinghu slept super well, and almost didn't dream at all, but the Angel of Destruction who couldn't see his face clearly yesterday ...... No matter who it is, Shi Yinghu doesn't care about being afraid, but it definitely can't be Arleta.
Shi Yinghu originally didn't care much about the enhancement of the "Seraphic Power" on Alita's body, because through the observation of the purple pupils and Haotian Law Eyes, it didn't look like a damage-type enhancement, but after yesterday's incident, Shi Yinghu simply chose to break it, and used the Dan method to inject a large amount of Duriel Origin Cold Energy into Alita's body to reconcile and balance.
With Shi Yinghu's level in qi and blood martial arts, he can even push a strong-willed person to the body of the Dan Dao fairyland (there is no way to do it at the spiritual level) purely by virtue of the Dan Law double cultivation, and now although Aletta is tired and wants to die, Shi Yinghu was so tired last night that he almost put his old life on the line, and only then did he complete the balance of yin and yang, ice and fire in Arletta's body, and in the next period of time, Alita's physical fitness will skyrocket, of course, this requires Shi Yinghu's constant monitoring and guidance.
With Aretta's foundation, coupled with this qualification, there is no problem in directly impacting the Legendary Beginner Rank.
(Whoever you are, at least you can't befall Alietta.) Even if you fall on Grull Venu, this seat will not hesitate to kill you. οΌ
"I'm not full, go make it for me again!" Before Shi Yinghu thought about the words, Aretta kicked him lightly, and then signaled that the two bowls in front of him were already empty.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll do it for you. Knowing that Aretta had already eaten and was just playing a little temper with herself, Shi Yinghu smiled and took the tableware, coaxed the little girl for a while, and then walked out.
It's just that when he was walking on the corridor, he saw his disciple Indar running over with a pale face.
"Something's wrong?"
"Uh...... Yes. Last night, someone was attacked again, and this time directly against the people in the carriage. β
"Don't show too much concern, remember, we're here for a holiday, and Madame Rosald is the owner here. β
"Yes, teacher. It's just that you're here, and that guy still dares not to stop, I must find him out. "Indar Heru's fate was changed because of Shi Yinghu, so he regarded his teacher as a god.
In Indar Heru's cognition, the immortal emperor came to Hadershire, and all the demons and those who were smarter should hide and restrain their deeds, but they didn't expect that someone would dare to stand up to the limelight and continue to commit crimes on the first day of the teacher's arrival.
"If the dark sacrifice is carried out at a critical moment, the price of stopping halfway is worse than death. Especially the people who carry out dark sacrifices, their minds are often already weird and crazy, and they can't be speculated by common sense, but they directly attack the carriage and take away the girl...... Explain that the sacrificial ritual should be almost complete. β
The knowledge of the dark ritual is complex and enormous, and it is not inferior to the theology of faith, even at the level of Shi Yinghu, it is impossible to deduce much from the current information alone.
Because Miss Aretta Venu occasionally felt a cold, the welcome party was postponed for a day or two, but this time was also the time when the local nobles were panicking, originally, the attackers were all civilian girls, at most they were rich merchants, so most of these nobles didn't care much, but last night, that young lady was the daughter of a local earl, and the guards she followed were already good, but she still lost her young and precious life, and the dark shadow shrouded all the people of Hadershire.
At lunch, Shi Yinghu casually asked about this matter while dividing the meat chops with a dinner knife, this matter has already been published in the local newspaper, and in his own identity, if he doesn't ask at all, it seems very abnormal.
"I had heard about the attack on the local girl before I came, but I believed that Rosald could handle this matter, so I never intervened, and now it has become quite a big trouble, if it is entrusted by the local nobles, madam, I will not ignore it. β
"Please Master Kate give us some more time, whoever dares to do such a thing on the territory of the Rosalde family, I will make him pay!" said this, although Madame Rosalde tried her best to restrain herself, but the originally graceful face still appeared hideous, faintly showing a bit of the rumored "poisonous woman" attitude.
"Hopefully, before I leave, there must be a result in this matter, otherwise I will have to take matters into my own hands. Cutting the meat chops, Shi Yinghu said indifferently.
As a legendary master witcher, in this world, with this status, he has the qualifications to be on an equal footing with the royal family. Even the nobles in various places are more afraid of the legendary masters.
