Chapter 176: The Church

The mayor wiped his tears as he said this, as if among the dead were his relatives.

Hughes didn't speak, he didn't feel that feeling, so he left silently.

After the celebration, the originally joyful town suddenly fell into mourning, and many people began to cry after drinking, remembering their dead relatives.

Hughes was placed in a luxuriously furnished room, but as soon as Hughes lay down, there was a knock at the door.

Hughes opened the door with a calm face, and he expected such a thing.

Just as Hughes thought, there were two young girls standing outside the door, who had just taken a shower and looked shy.

"Go back, I don't need to!"

As soon as the two of them tried to come in, they were shut out by the refusal of Theseus.

The two girls looked at each other in disappointment, and had no choice but to go back to the mayor to recover their lives.

They were all sent by the mayor of the town, saying that he wanted Hughes to leave his blood here through the two of them.

It's just that he didn't expect that Xius would refuse so simply.

Early in the morning, Hughes got up early and quietly left the town.

Hughes didn't know where he was going, so he could only take one step at a time.

After Hughes walked out of the mountain, a river appeared in front of Hughes's eyes.

After looking, Hughes planned to go to the lower bank of the river to have a look, so he followed the river and began to walk down.

It wasn't until late afternoon that Hughes saw some of the broken buildings.

Theseus went up to look and saw that they were all traces of the fire, and it had been a long time.

"Gah!" a crow in the distance suddenly let out a scream, as if it had been beaten down, and soon disappeared.

Xius slowly groped his way to the sound, and soon Xius noticed a little boy squatting on the ground not far away, with his back to Xius, constantly gnawing on something in his mouth, and there were scattered feathers on the ground.

"Huh?" As if sensing someone coming, the boy suddenly looked back in the direction of Hughes, his mouth full of blood and feathers, and the few flesh of the raven.

"Can you hear me?" Theseus walked over to the boy and looked down at the boy's bloody mouth.

"Hah!"

The boy does not seem to be able to speak, and can only utter a few simple syllables, as an attempt to scare off Theseus.

"Then you eat slowly!" Theseus smiled, ignoring the boy and hiding out of the boy's sights.

In such a desolate wilderness, this boy grows so much alone, there is no special ability, Xius doesn't believe it, for example, just now the boy beat down the crow alone, which makes Xius very curious.

When the boy saw that Hughes had left without malice, he stopped paying attention to Hughes and continued to gnaw on the crow carcass in his hand.

"Chip, what can you see just now?" Theseus asked Chip curiously, anyway, he had just been away from the boy for so long, and he didn't notice anything wrong with the other party.

"The scan time is too short to be fully resolved!"

"Tsk, there really is. "Hughes decided to wait here to see if the boy was on his own or if someone was behind his back.

"Coo-coo!" At night, the woods began to come alive.

The boy didn't notice Hughes at all, but kept crawling around, looking agitated.

"Right here, I can feel that evil aura!"

While Hughes was still observing, several people in red and gold robes in the distance suddenly came within range of the boy.

"Are these the people of the church?" looked at a sword embroidered on their chests and a sign of the scales, and guessed that the group was most likely from the church.

"You can still see people from the church in this place?" Seeing this group of people, Theseus was even more curious about where he had come.

In the impression of Hughus, the existence of the church is very small, although there are many ordinary people who believe in gods, but between the empire and the nobility, there is more trust in the wizards who can directly bring them benefits.

Moreover, there will be wizard organizations in most places, which leads to the fact that the status of the church is rarely embarrassing, and the gods that these churches believe in do not show miracles, and over time, the church slowly disappears into people's sight.

"Be careful, the energy contained in each of the children of the evil gods is not small!"

Hearing these voices, Hughes knew that the people of the church had spotted the boy.

"And what are we going to do?" several people surrounded the boy, discussing what to do with him.

"Destroy him, of course, and spread the glory of my Lord!"

"Son of the Evil God?" Hughes heard an unfamiliar word, and after drinking a potion of hidden figures, Xius cautiously approached a few people, wanting to discuss some more useful news.

After being surrounded by the three members of the church, the boy slowly became restless and began to yell at several people.

"Kah!" the boy began to get more and more impatient, and a large number of black tentacles began to emerge from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, towards the man in the church.

"Quick, holy water, spread it!"

Seeing the boy's reaction, a red-robed bearded man hurriedly asked the other three people to splash the boy with holy water.

"Zila!"

"Ahh

A corrosive sound and screams rang out at the same time.

Most of the boy's face and body were corroded, but instead of posing a mortal threat, it only angered the ferocity in his heart.

"Splash, splash!"

Seeing that the invincible holy water had little effect on the boy, he panicked for a while.

"Use, use, run out!"

Several people looked at the empty holy water bottle, and their faces turned pale in an instant.

"That's it?" Theseus frowned as he looked at the people from the church.

The holy water cultivators who had just spilled out could feel a purifying energy in it, but it was very weak, and it was far from something like a purification potion.

Xiusi, who didn't know the power system of the church, originally wanted to see the strength of these people, but he didn't expect that he would only pour some shoddy purification potions.

This made Xiusi a little disappointed, but he didn't expect that the people in these churches not only had no spiritual power, but also couldn't even do some basic swordsmanship.

"Do you want to make a move!?" Theseus hesitated, saving these people was undoubtedly a good way to understand where he was now.

But Hughes wanted to find out what the boy was.

A chaotic, dark energy pervades the boy, and it is full of malice towards these few people in the church.

"Don't, don't be afraid, we won't die, we still have the Code of Wisdom!"
