180 hesitation

After rescuing the two scarred people, and with great effort, the Knights completely purified the shadow elements that had accumulated in the cave for many years.

Seeing the kind and kind priest, Du Yuhan did not show joy like ordinary people, but protected Kevin tightly in his arms, and refused the priest's treatment, with a strong vigilance in his eyes.

Although he was very surprised, the members of the Knights of Light did not pay much attention to it, only when he was frightened and reacted a little violently. escorted the two to the hotel for strict protection, and then went to deal with more important things-

The captain of the escort team was shocked that Bane and Dai Li would appear in the cave. According to Du Yuhan's later confession, they found a dark purple soul crystal on Bane's body.

Since there can be a soul-splitting destruction spell, there will be a corresponding redemption ritual.

The ceremony was presided over by the cardinal leader himself, and after the choir's lengthy chanting, the Soul Returning Circle erupted with a dazzling yellow light. A wisp of green soul slowly overflowed from the cracked crystal, and the soul that had been bound in the soul stone for many years finally returned to its main body.

David paced anxiously back and forth at the door, and when the bishop came out and smiled and nodded, he rushed in.

The room was full of busy servants, and Bane lay on the bed frowning lightly, surrounded by priests, and his face was very pale and dark under his closed eyes.

Putting his fingers on his lips and making a silent gesture to stop the servant who wanted to give the salute, David walked lightly to the side of the bed. He looked down at the tired Bane, lowered his eyes to the big rough hand on the quilt, and reached out to pull it, but shrank back when he was about to touch it.

Uncle is back.

But what if, what if he has already forgotten?

His eyes were full of anticipation and worry, hesitant and sad.

Noticing the gradually strange atmosphere in the room, Bane slowly lifted his eyelids in confusion. After seeing David, who looked nervous, he was stunned, and the next moment he showed a weak but hearty smile.

"Little David, are you being bullied? Why do you look like you're going to cry? The hoarse voice rubbed hard like sandpaper, and he raised his hand with great difficulty, rubbing his hairy head, "Come and tell me, let Uncle teach him a lesson." ”

David was stunned, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, the corners of his eyes were red, and he finally couldn't suppress his excitement, and he threw himself into his uncle's arms and cried.

"Uncle!"

*****

The tragedy in the city of Toba shook the continent.

Since the decline of the Shadow Force, the followers of the Shadow Demon God have moved underground, and with the fierce pursuit of the Sect of Light later, there has been no trace of the Shadow Mage in the territory for a long time.

This time, the Shadow Cult used the terrain of the desert to hide a huge altar in broad daylight. Even under their noses, the blatant use of residents to carry out living sacrifices, causing hundreds of innocent civilians to die, and its social impact is extremely bad. Such an arrogant act made the church furious.

The Knights of Light, who had lost face, took this matter very seriously and vowed to find out about it. Therefore, the Illuminati General Association, located in the capital of the Al Empire, immediately organized the most elite team, and did not hesitate to use the most expensive space to collectively teleport the magic circle, and rushed to Toba City overnight to carry out the city protection operation.

However, the regent, who came to his senses, had no memory of what had happened in recent years, which greatly increased the difficulty of the investigation. After asking the people involved in the case, the experienced head of the knights personally led a group of subordinates to carry out a carpet sweep of key areas based on the information collected. Similar altars were found elsewhere, and several Shadowcultists were captured alive.

And the case of the Shadow Cultists using the status of the princess to commit evil was also concluded and tried by the Church of Light as quickly as possible.

Due to the royal strife, the church eventually adopted a more conservative approach. Christians who had been identified were hanged, and others who were not implicated were imprisoned. Some unjust cases have also been rehabilitated, including John.

As the younger brother of the main culprit, Jesse was sentenced to exile in the desert and never allowed to enter the Al Empire for half a step.

The moon and stars are scarce, and everything is silent.

A man wearing a hood drove a simple carriage and walked slowly.

Walking to the heavily guarded city gate, the guards only glanced at it slightly, and did not step forward to inquire about the identity of their master, so they opened the gate slightly and let it pass. The guards standing guard behind him also turned a blind eye to this huge transport, and only continued to patrol dutifully. After the carriage passed, the city gates were quickly closed.

Du Yuhan stood in the attic and looked out the window, watching the carriage drift away until it was safe to leave the city, and then let go of his heart.

When the church's verdict was announced, the people of the city cheered and rushed to tell each other about the end of the terrible hour. Although the younger brother of the main culprit was sentenced to death, this made them a little regretful.

However, Du Yuhan knew very well in his heart that this seemed to be a way to live, but for Jesse, who had not recovered from his injuries, this was not much different from the death sentence. But compared to being executed on the spot, this is the best result he can get.

Your kindness, you are in our hearts. Please take care in the future, I will work hard to learn modeling, carry forward this profession, become an advanced modeler, and never disappoint your expectations!

Recalling the words at the time of parting, Du Yuhan smiled bitterly.

Modeler......

I guess I don't have a chance, right?

His eyes were fixed on his left wrist, and there was a small area at the wrist joint that was particularly white compared to the skin around him. Groping lightly, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Since he came to this strange world, this modeling bracelet has never left him. After being promoted to a junior modeler, the number of uses increased.

Due to frequent use, the original white and smooth plastic surface has been scratched with many scratches. Fortunately, the quality of this bracelet is excellent, although it is often bumped, but the bracelet is still intact, except for several times when the power is low and it automatically shuts down, there is basically no damage.

The clothes that had just arrived had long since been lost by Edie, and those mobile wallets were also left in the bedroom in the hurry to escape from school.

The only item he has to do with modern times is this bracelet.

Just when Du Yuhan was secretly out of his mind, a pair of white but powerful arms encircled him behind him. Without having to look back, he knew who the person behind him was, he chuckled and relaxed his body and leaned on the other party's arms.

"What's wrong?"

"This sentence should be me asking you, just eat a little bit of dinner and people will run away." Slightly dissatisfied with Du Yuhan's lifelessness, and angry at the cheap Vic's foodie, Kevin lowered his head and rubbed it on his shoulder socket.

"They're out of town?"

"Hmm."

"Tell me honestly, what did you stuff him again?"

"Uh...... Just some fares—"

"How much?"

“……”

"Huh?"

"Hmmm! Don't, don't bite...... Only three, three thousand gold coins ......"

"Hmph, you're generous."

"Kevin, they're all wounded—"

"You know, they're Han's favorite students."

“…… Actually, there's nothing I don't love, after all, it's just the two of them. "The most frustrating thing is that people don't have apprentices at all, which is still wishful thinking to teach others as apprentices.

Seeing that Du Yuhan had regained his vitality, Kevin smiled lightly and wrapped his hands around his waist.

"Why did you refuse the president's invitation in the afternoon?"

Unexpectedly, the angle that had just been bent suddenly stiffened, and Du Yuhan was rarely a little distracted.

"I can't refuse, I just need time to think about it."

"Oh? Is it? Kevin raised half of his eyebrows.

Hearing this, Du Yuhan was silent.

A while ago, the Knights of Light arrived in Toba City. Surprisingly, among the entourage was Salander, the president of the Models Guild of the Al Empire.

"Invite me to the club?" Looking at the spirited old man in front of him, Du Yuhan quickly hid his doubts and put on a decent smile, "I'm honored to have your enthusiasm, Your Excellency." But is it convenient to tell me why? ”

"Haha, please don't be nervous, this is just a little bit of caution on the part of the city lord of Nada City, the capital of the Al Empire." Salander stroked his beard and smiled.

Capital? City Lord?

Why did you get involved with Nada City again?

"Don't be surprised, sir, it's actually our faux pas." Seeming to see Du Yuhan's doubts, Salander sighed faintly, "Mr. Before, at our request, he came here thousands of miles away as a guest, and we should be hospitable." But I didn't expect that the city's defense consciousness was so weak, not only was it made into a miasma by the Shadow Cult, but it also injured Mr. ”

It turns out that the one who caused him to run to this hellish place was your city lord...... Du Yuhan pouted. It's no wonder that when he was in Longcheng, the chairman spoke secretly, and now that he thinks about it, he says that there is no cat in it, and even the dog doesn't believe it.

"In order to make up for our mistakes, the city lord has specially sent me to invite you to the capital city of Nada, and we will definitely entertain you." With that, Salander saluted.

Although he was slandered in his heart, his face still did not show a trace, "Your Excellency is serious. It's just an accident that something like this happened, and I'm here to feel the warmth of the people of Arles—"

"No, no, it's a very rude thing to do, and it must not be counted like that." It's a pity that Salander's attitude is insistent and he doesn't accept Du Yuhan's refusal at all, "I implore Mr. to accept the good intentions of the city lord." ”

Accept a yarn! It's just that I almost lost my life when I went to a third-tier town, and if I really followed it this time, I wouldn't have lost my body to fertilizer! "I'm glad to have received an invitation from the Castle Lord, but—"

"If the gentleman insists on refusing, it will be difficult for me to explain to the lord of the city." Seeing that Du Yuhan was unmoved, Salander narrowed his eyes slightly, and deep and shallow wrinkles formed at the corners of his eyes.

Du Yuhan: ......

it! Actually use the city lord to exert pressure!

Depend on! Do you really think you're great if you're a nobleman?!

Du Yuhan was very angry, and Du Yuhan wanted to flip the table.

But when he thought that he was still standing on someone else's territory, he couldn't help but feel like a deflated ball.

Well, it's quite remarkable......

He rolled his eyes, "But you know, I'm going to compete in a modeler contest." ”

"Oh, there's no need to worry about that." Salander leaned back, folded his hands over his chest, and smiled confidently, "There are still nearly two months until the end of the game, which is definitely enough." ”

Du Yuhan: ......

Knowing the truth of a big stick and a sweet candy, seeing that all the other party's retreats have been sealed, Salander slowly released the lure.

"Does Sir know? Nada City is hosting a grand event for modelers. ”

A model artist extravaganza?
