Chapter 172: The Truth
"Looks like things are getting more and more troublesome!" Rollo looked at me and couldn't help but frown. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 He thought for a moment and said, "If Karen gains Omira's powers, it will be troublesome. He must have suffered a lot of anger in Castlevania over the years, and he must have wanted to make up for his own shortcomings, which may be why he is so persistent in doing this thing. We must not let him succeed. Otherwise, if Castlevania is also chaotic, the demons will definitely flee to the territory of other races, and then the world will really be in chaos. As he spoke, the people were almost finished, and the royal family had arrived at the venue.
Today, Kona is wearing a blue floor-length dress, which is a heavy style, and it seems that there is something hidden under the layers of skirts. She's a little nervous today, probably because she's a little nervous, right? Cullen smiled and activated the tattoos on the royal family herself. I noticed that Kona's body was visibly shaking when it was her turn, but Cullen probably thought she was too excited to care.
Once everything is ready, the blessing ceremony begins.
Rollo and I sat in the first row of the field, and several demons stood around us from time to time, as if they had been sent by Cullen to keep an eye on us.
So although he didn't want to be hostile to us, he was always guarding against us, preventing us from destroying this opportunity that he had been waiting for for many years. But his precautions are on guard, and whether he can be on guard or not depends on his ability.
I saw the old demon slowly being pushed into the center of the stage. The people below all looked indignant when they saw him. There is hatred, regret, sympathy, and worry. Then Cullen began to read in the eyes of everyone, saying nothing more than how sinful this fallen god was, what kind of purification he needed, how he could redeem him, and so on. Although what he said is all nonsense in the eyes of people like us, it is still very contagious in the eyes of the uninformed. I looked at his face, and for a moment I had the illusion that he was exuding holy light, and I couldn't help but sigh again: It really looks like a god!
Then Cullen began to say to the people, "Actually, everyone is sinful, and they are born with original sin. But it doesn't matter, let me cleanse the world of evil! So saying, his men pushed a cart to the stage, and on the cart was a beautiful box containing an arm. It seems that this should be the arm of Omira that the old demon said. It looks indistinguishable from a human hand, with some pieces of clothing on it. Because the atmosphere of the scene was already very high, there was a burst of cheers from the scene when this arm was pushed out, and even Rollo, who had been careless, kept staring at the arm with wide eyes.
I had a hunch that Cullen was about to forcibly break the seal, and my spirit was highly tense, just waiting for the right moment to stop this.
Unexpectedly, Cullen suddenly said on the stage: "This is actually the arm of a demon, because it is a humanoid demon, his hand looks no different from that of ordinary people." There is also the fallen god on the stage, in fact, he is also a demon, he is not a god at all, but because of his low level, he is now this ugly appearance. And the other gods here are, to be honest, just demons, how can gods be so ugly? Of course I'm not, I'm just a demon. As for the tattoos on your body, they are just a contract with our demons, and you have already given me your souls. So, you've all been deceived by me, and I actually want to sacrifice your souls to the Cursed Ring to break the seal on it, so as to gain the power contained in this Duka town. As for why I am telling you the truth now, it is because the demon and the contractor also have rules that must be followed when signing the contract, and the contractor must know what he has given and what he has gained before the contract can really take effect, so I tell you this...... Although you are about to die. ”
As soon as Cullen's words fell, the audience suddenly became silent, perhaps because people didn't realize what he was saying for a while. But after a while, there was a thunderous roar, and the people below suddenly began to panic, and for a while, the sound resounded in the sky, and people began to frantically want to escape from this place, but the demons set up an enchantment on the periphery, and no one could escape.
I think those sounds hurt my brain a little. The king's face was full of incredulity, his eyes widened and he pulled Karen to ask him over and over again whether this was true, Karen still looked elegant, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, didn't I say it very clearly?" Why don't you believe it? With that, he raised his hand and gently pushed the king's chest, and a bloody hole appeared in the king's chest. The king fell straight upright. The royal family on the stage were frightened by the sudden scene in front of them, and they also began to run around, only Kona calmly rushed up to accompany the king, and kept shouting: "Father, father, wake up!" ”
I looked at the location of the king's wound, and it was estimated that it was not critically injured and not in danger of life for the time being, but if it continued like this, it would still kill if I lost too much blood. But I don't have time to deal with him right now, because Cullen is about to activate the sprinklers in the field, and if we don't stop him, none of the people here will survive except a few of us. But as I've seen before, these nozzles are connected to different pipes and come from different sources. It's simply impossible to control it all.
Sure enough, the sprinklers immediately began to spray water into the crowd. For a while, screams and cries filled the field, resounding in the sky. Everyone was stupefied by the sudden water. But after a while, they realized that they were still alive and couldn't help but be ecstatic again.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Karen's face couldn't help but be gloomy, this was the first time I had seen him with such a straightforward expression.
"What's going on? The contract should have been in effect immediately! Cullen turned his head and questioned his men viciously, and soon found the clue.
On the stone platform not far away, Rollo was smiling and looking at Cullen with the cursed ring in his hand, as if to declare his victory, which we had planned from the beginning.
Since it is impossible to stop all the sprinklers without harming the innocent, it would be better to make it impossible for the sacrificial souls to contact the Cursed Ring. After all, it's much easier to control a ring than it is to mobilize so many sprinklers. So the moment the sprinklers began to spray water, Rollo jumped onto the stage and moved the ring that had been placed on the altar elsewhere, severing the connection between it and the sacrifice, so that Cullen could not break the seal.
"You're really here to fight me?" Karen looked at Rollo, his face was cold, and he said with a smile, and he could see that he was quite annoyed now.
"I'm so sorry, Master Karen," Rollo said with a smile on his face, "Although I would like to witness the moment when you achieve your wish, from the standpoint of our Holy Court, I am afraid that I will not be able to let you do it." Originally, this is a matter between you, and we can't interfere. But you also know that the world is not peaceful now, and if something happens here in the underwater city, then I really don't have the face to go back. ”
At that moment, a loud bang erupted from the fleeing crowd, and then I saw smoke billowing from one of the entrances of the field, and it was as if people had seen all their hopes arching towards that place, and the scene suddenly became even more chaotic. It seems that the Mage Guild is also involved. They began to fight against the demons here, and for a while, magic arrays and spells flew all over the sky, and suddenly there was a mess, and it was really a melee. After all, the number of demons was superior, so although a few people escaped, the demons quickly blocked the opening and began to whip the Pu Ting people gathered there fiercely, making them flesh and blood all over their bodies.
Karen looked at the chaos of the scene, his body trembled slightly, and he could see that he was very trying to control his emotions now, but the provocative look on Rollo's face with the ring in one hand made him really unable to swallow this breath.
"Master Karen, why don't you grab this ring if you want it? Don't you dare to do anything with me? Isn't Castlevania already about to compete with the Holy Court now? Why don't you have this ability? It seems that you are just that. With you like this, you will never be an opponent of other lords for the rest of your life, and you will always be able to mix with this rabble, and you will just be a piece of garbage! La~garbage~" Luo Luo kept provoking Karen, and what he said became more and more excessive, which made me a little unbearable, and it was really a shame that Karen could endure it.
At this moment, a demon couldn't hold his breath and suddenly pounced on Rollo. Rollo turned around and stretched out his hand to twist his head off, and blood splattered on people's faces, and several of the people who were splashed with blood screamed in fright.
