Chapter 9: The Acolyte
The druid patriarch could no longer utter a word, his throat blocked, his eyes glazed over.
was discriminated against and expelled by his own compatriots, and was bullied and hunted down by aliens on the mainland, and at the end of the year, he could only hide in the frozen mountains to survive, and the suffering and misery in it, how could he finish it in one sentence?
Now, suddenly, someone told me that all this was my own ignorance.
Xia Yi's words broke through Amanda's stubbornness, and after a long time, two tears overflowed from the old patriarch's eyes, and this old druid, who looked full of spirit despite his aging, instantly became old.
After all, he was too old, so old that he didn't even have the energy to be sentimental.
"I'm sorry...... Maybe I'm too presumptuous......" Xia Yi looked at the tearful Amanda, a little guilty.
"No, I don't blame you." The old patriarch smiled reluctantly, "If I were still young and vigorous, maybe your words stung me, or I was angry, or I followed your advice to strengthen the Druids, but now, what right do I have to blame others?" ”
Mondo also reassured: "Grandpa Amanda, at least it's not too late, isn't it?" ”
"Not really, little Mondo." The old patriarch explained, "This is my request, if one day, I can no longer give shelter to the druids, if the druids are in danger of extinction by foreign enemies, please do your best to preserve the incense of the druids......
The little orc wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xia Yi.
The druids have a lifespan of more than a thousand years, and Amanda will eventually come to the end of her life. Xia Yi had already heard the death will in the old patriarch's words, and the only thing he couldn't worry about was the future of the druids, and he had nowhere to rely on it, so he could only ask a little orc who could barely be trusted.
As Shay thought, Amanda rolled up her long sleeves, revealing her bony arms, his body shrunk and his muscles dry like a lich! Flesh turned like dry bark!
"In fact, I should have reported to the goddess of nature! It's just that I'm afraid that as soon as I leave, the druid will have nothing to rely on, so he will burn my life force, which will extend my lifespan at the cost of reducing my strength. Now I'm just an empty shelf, and even a kid can knock me down. ”
This made Xia Yi and Mondo awe-struck, and the simple little Mondo was moved to tears, and quickly wiped it away secretly.
Before the two could express their opinions, the druid patriarch looked nervous, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we have another guest to visit, little Mondo, you should leave quickly, with your identity, those people should not embarrass you, but you have to hide this Miss Chailly." ”
With that, he stood up and staggered out of the cabin.
Xia Yi and Mondo were confused, and Amanda's tone was not a guest! They did not leave as the old druid commanded, but opened the window lattice, and saw Amanda standing in the air, hanging in the air, where was the old man who had just aged the clock, but a strong man with a terrifying momentum!
"It's so strong! My grandfather said that in the entire continent, there are no more than one hand of people who have the strength to fight with Grandpa Amanda! Sure enough, it lives up to its reputation, and it is like walking on the ground in the air, even wind mages can't do it! Mondo sighed.
Amanda walked to the head of the village in the air, and the druids below did not know what was going on, staring at the patriarch curiously, and applauding from time to time.
"The old guy of the Bright Sect, the visitor is a guest, since you have arrived, do you want me to invite you personally?"
The old patriarch waved his hand casually, only to see a black shadow in the woods screaming and flying upside down, falling to the sky, and more than a dozen black shadows jumped out of the jungle at the same time.
These people were all old men with gray beards, and there was a hunchbacked old woman, all wearing ragged black robes, covered in dirt and filth, more like fleeing beggars!
"Acolyte of the Cult of Light! What are they doing here? Mondo exclaimed in surprise, seeing Xia Yi's blank face, he explained, "These are the acolytes of the Terran Light Sect, also known as ascetics, and they are all perverts with firm beliefs!" ”
Even Mondo's grandfather, the old shaman, was full of admiration and fear when he mentioned the acolytes of the Illuminati, and the acolytes' loyalty to the Illuminati could already be described as perverted! In their eyes, faith in the Lord God of Light is more important than their own lives! They traveled barefoot across the continent, living on human offerings, and had a high prestige among the human race, and were revered as "walking apostles".
The leader of the acolytes stepped forward, folded his hands, bowed, and said, "Compared to the respected Patriarch Amanda, we people don't dare to call ourselves old in front of you. It's just Patriarch Amanda, your druid tribe is really hard to find, but I have wasted some time, it seems that you are not rich. ”
"Hmph, who am I, it turned out to be Arthur the Kid." The Druid Patriarch sneered disdainfully, "Have the claw marks on your body healed?" ”
Arthur was also unfazed and said, "Thank you Patriarch Amanda for your concern, as a member of the great Lord God of Light, any wounds will be healed in the Holy Light." ”
Although Arthur refused to lose the slightest momentum, he was already annoyed and angry, his chest was transformed into a monster by Amanda, a claw cut his chest, the gap caused by the power of nature, under the treatment of the light and holy light, he lay on the bed for half a year, the huge wound was healing, leaving four huge claw marks, which was his biggest shame and fear!
"Say, hypocritical Cultist of Light, what do you mean, I don't remember any friendship between us." Amanda gave the eviction order.
"The God of Light teaches us to be tolerant of infidels' insults and to correct their mistakes." Arthur suppressed the anger in his heart and changed his smile to a smile, "Naturally, I'm here to visit His Excellency Amanda!" ”
"Don't bother you to worry! If you come to fight, the old man is willing to teach you some lessons! Amanda scoffed at the hypocrisy of the acolyte.
The strength of the druid patriarch really scared Arthur.
A month ago, Arthur received instructions from the Pope of Light that the druid patriarch was about to reach the end of his life and his strength was greatly damaged, and sent himself to lead twelve acolytes to check on him, and if he could, take his life.
But at the beginning, Amanda's volley standing trick scared Arthur, he had personally experienced how powerful Amanda was! If you're not careful, I'm afraid it's him who has fallen here! So from the beginning, he was tempting, the old druid's strength was unusual, and he even wondered if the Pope had made a mistake!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not Arthur who doubts your great prophecy...... Well? Arthur noticed that something was wrong, Amanda this old guy has always been disdainful of the Illuminati, and the more powerful he becomes, the more it means that his heart is weak!
Arthur was also as cunning as a wolf, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "I'm afraid that Patriarch Amanda is also very sexual!" ”
"Hmph, although the old man is not as young as when he was young, it is not a problem to clean up your kittens and puppies!" Amanda also broke out in a cold sweat, the Pope's great prophecy is really powerful.
The cunning Arthur immediately determined that this old guy was indeed a big loss of strength, and if he was a little confused, he would have been deceived by this old thing!
"In the name of the God of Light, anyone who blasphemes the gods should be punished!" Arthur said loudly, and at the same time, he was emboldening himself, and when the other loyal acolytes heard this, they really dispelled a lot of fear.
At this point, Amanda knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, and roared angrily into the air, and the bones of his whole body sounded, only to see his body slowly become larger, and finally turned into a giant beast, the earth storm bear!
"Roar!!" The earth storm bear that landed on the ground, a roar shocked the jungle, and the giant palm slapped, and even the earth shook!
The beast was the size of two rooms, and the acolytes were terrified and couldn't help but take a step back.
"Don't be afraid! This old guy is running out! Kill! Arthur saw that Amanda was at the end of his crossbow, so he asked his men to test it to make sure it was correct.
The acolytes were unhappy that Arthur had sent them to take the lead, but if the druids were still strong, they would have died in vain! But the belief in the god of light drove away their fears, and they raised their staffs one after another.
"Bright Holy Flame!"
Arthur gave an order, and a white flame fell from the sky, smashing on the body of the Earth Storm Bear, and the flames mixed with the light and holy power scorched the Earth Storm Bear, its back was already a blur of flesh and blood, and it was scorched black by the flames, which beat Amanda to the ground, after all, he was no longer a druid in his heyday.
But Amanda, who transformed what little vitality she had left into combat power, was also very terrifying, with a wave of her front paws, an acolyte didn't even have time to hide, and was slapped into pulp, and she didn't even have time to scream!
When the remaining druids saw the invasion of foreign enemies, they turned into battle monsters that they were good at, and rushed to the acolytes to save their patriarch.
Arthur knew that Amanda had little strength left, and that he wanted to avenge his revenge, so he ordered: "You go and deal with the other druids, the old fellow will leave it to me!" Remember, being the God of Light tells us that we can't be merciful to heretics! ”
Amanda heard that Arthur was going to kill everything, and couldn't help but rush into anger and spit out a mouthful of blood, but he was powerless to return to the sky.
Sure enough, poor druids, who live in the jungle all year round, despite their great talents, where is the opponent of the acolyte? The battle turned into a one-sided slaughter, and the druids fell to the light of the acolytes, sparing even the children, and the peaceful druid village was filled with the stench of blood.
"How? Old guy. Arthur's heart burned with a sense of vengeance, "Then it's you, stubborn heretic, and accept the judgment of God!" ”
"Judgment Blade!"
As Arthur's voice sounded, the staff in his hand turned into a blade of light and pierced into the heart of the Earth Storm, Amanda didn't even have the strength to dodge, and lost the support of her strength, the Earth Storm Bear slowly shrank and fell to the ground, Amanda always looked at his village, his people.
Seeing the bloodied druids, the whole village was left with roars and wails, Amanda had lived long enough, he was not afraid of death, he just couldn't let go of his people.
Even to death, Amanda did not let out a groan of pain, but simply watched his village silently until the brilliance in her eyes disappeared and turned gray......
Is it really wrong that Amanda's flame of life is extinguished, and he shelters the druids for thousands of years?
No, he just loves his race too much.
