Chapter 177: Snakes
"Oh, thank God Almighty, my dear Ellie, that you have finally returned." In the gloomy cellar, our group finally met the local priest and the orphans who were fostered there, and the priest was quite excited to see Ellie.
"I'm sorry, Father, for worrying you." Ellie gave the priest a cordial hug, and her face looked peaceful, and it was the first time we had seen her look like this, even if we had been born and died with her.
"These areβ" the priest hesitated as he looked at us.
"Oh, these are my friends, come back with me this time to do something."
"I see, may God bless you, my dear friend." The priest made a gesture of prayer as he spoke, and looking at his pious face, I seemed to understand who Malfoy's old-fashioned tone had learned from him.
"Hmph, forget about others, as far as Kane and I are concerned, I'm afraid God won't care for anything."" Hearing this, Andonla couldn't help but snicker secretly, although it was true, but it was still a little impolite on this occasion, and Maria on the side immediately glared at her fiercely.
"Well, I can't tell the truth." Antonla muttered something and turned her head in dissatisfaction.
"By the way, Father, I heard from Malfoy that there have been strange people around here since I left?"
"Yes, my dear child. God, I don't even want to talk about it anymore. They were always around the church day and night, and I didn't know what they were doing, so I had to let everyone hide in the cellar first, and God forbid, nothing unfortunate has happened so far."
"It's all my fault, I brought those guys in..."Ellie blamed herself.
"What is going on, my dear child?" The priest cared.
"I don't have time to explain now, but trust me, Father, it's going to be over soon." Ellie soothed the crowd a few times, and then came to a few of us.
"How's it going?" I asked.
"Everyone's fine, it looks like those guys kept their word."
"But if they know that you're left behind, the situation is a different matter, what are you going to do next?"
"Of course, I just went to them to solve it face to face."
"Can you find them?"
"Don't look for it, they should be here by this time..."
"Is Miss Ellie in there?" As soon as the little girl's voice fell, someone outside greeted her.
"So fast?" I was a little surprised.
"Nonsense, how could those guys not notice that there were so many of us coming, since they were staring at the church all day? Or because you expected this, you think I'd be so blatantly bringing you here?" The little girl gave me a disdainful look, and I must admit that although she is older than her, this girl is obviously a cut above me.
"So what now?"
"Do you need to ask? Since the other party has already come, isn't it just time to go out and make things clear in person? If you really can't do it, give them a little bit of power and see!" For this kind of scene, Anton La seems to be grinding his fists and eager to try.
I thought that since things had come to this point, it seemed that this was the only way to go, and I couldn't help but turn my head to the princess, who nodded at me slightly.
"Xiao Jia and Ah Zi stay to take care of the children, and the others will all go up, if the other party has any changes, they will do it immediately, but they must pay attention to protecting the safety of the church."
"Understood!" Because of her personality and seniority, the princess has become the leader of our group these days, and at this moment, listening to her order, everyone hurriedly took action, only Maria stood in place and hesitated slightly.
"Will the forces left behind be too weak? What if the other party makes a noise and secretly attacks this group of children?"
"If the other party is a master, Kane must be able to feel it, if it is an ordinary person, Xiao Jia and the two of them are enough to deal with, not to mention that there are still us guarding the periphery, if there are too many people left, it will scare them..."
Maria hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the princess's explanation, and in retrospect we were all too careless in this matter.
Outside the church, several black-clad men were already waiting quietly, their shadows stretched slender by the afternoon sun, like huge tails.
"This is Mr. Kane, right? It was such an honor to meet you..."The first to speak was an old man, with a wrinkled face, the skin on his neck drooping down, looking like a rooster, a pair of sea-blue eyes shining with a cunning light, his speech and demeanor were very elegant, obviously well-educated, despite his old age, he still stood straight, and looked more like a nobleman, and he recognized me from the crowd at first sight.
Instead of directly acknowledging my identity, I asked, "Who are you?"
"If you don't mind, you can call me Guillaume, an old friend of yours wants to see you, and we have been ordered to meet you."
"Old friends? What kind of old friends?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you the owner's name."
"If you can't tell me who this old friend is, I'm afraid I'll have to refuse your kindness."
"Trust me, a pleasant meeting with both of you is good."
"What if I won't?"
Guillaume frowned when he heard this: "I believe that a wise man like you would not make such a stupid decision."
"Is this a threat?"
"Advice, just advice."
"I'm sorry, it seems that I can't accept your kindness..."
"Oh, that's a pity..."At this point, Guillaume sighed, and then waved his hand at the people behind him, and the men in black immediately opened up and attacked us.
"I can't help myself!" I couldn't help but be furious when I saw this, and immediately waved my hand, and suddenly hung a strong phoenix, and a group of people in black were immediately blown out, but these guys were also agile, and they all landed safely, and then their hands were sealed, and there were words in their mouths, and a blue magic array immediately appeared on the ground.
"It's white magic!" Maria whispered, her tone was quite surprised, but it was no wonder, I had previously explained that white magic was generally only used by people from the Holy See, and now these guys actually came to this set, which seemed to indicate that most of them were inextricably linked to the church, but when I took a closer look at the magic array on the ground, I felt quite strange.
"No, it's not white magic." As soon as I finished speaking, thousands of poisonous snakes flew out of those magic arrays, rushing towards us like a flood.
"Damn, it's summoning. Watch out, guys!" The princess shouted as she opened her elven "crystal wall", like a dam to temporarily keep the snakes out.
"Carving insect skills!" At this time, Anton La on the side couldn't stay, I saw her soar into the air, and opened her mouth at the snakes on the ground, and suddenly a "dragon's breath" gushed out, for the power of this move, I think I have personally learned it in the Penders grassland, although these poisonous snakes are huge, they are not high-level summoned beasts at all, and they were immediately burned into piles of charcoal, and the air was suddenly filled with a pungent smell of burning.
