Chapter 124: Interlude (1)
This is an episode that changes the battle of the city of Saysus, and makes us temporarily turn our attention from the tense and fierce battle to a peaceful village:
Since Shartha boarded Manson's flying beast, the Purple Meteor Bat, left the Gold Digger, and flew towards a hidden village on the outskirts of Saysus, the beast crossed large and small cities and villages in the sky, and after a long and continuous flight, trekking thousands of kilometers, it finally succeeded in reaching the safe and hidden pioneer village.
Shalsa was greeted by a villager, led by an old woman of about sixty years of age, dressed in simple robes, who was the priest of the village and also a cousin of Stella, and beside her, stood four very beautiful women, the four daughters of the priest.
Manson walked up to the old priest and said, "Old priest, I have brought Salsa safely, and I will trouble you for the rest of the time. ”
The old priest nodded at Manson and said, "I've arranged everything, Captain Manson, it's been a hard work for you." ”
"You're welcome, it's just my business. He said in a light tone.
The old priest's gaze swept over Salsa, and when he looked at her, there was a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face did not know whether it was joy or sorrow, and finally let out a long sigh: "Salsa, come with me into the house." ”
Accompanied by four other women, they walked together towards the priest's house.
"Salsa, you've suffered during your days on the Gold Digger, and it's time to live in peace for a while. ”
Hearing this, Salsa turned her head to look at Manson, a soft smile on her face, and said, "Captain Manson, thank you for sending me here. ”
Manson had a rare smile on his face and said, "Shartha, you are becoming more and more sensible now. ”
"Hmm...... Actually, Salsa's strength is very powerful, but you don't understand, you don't know......" She muttered and followed the old priest into the room.
The old priest's eyes were bright, as if she could see the bottom of a person's heart, and she looked at Salsa carefully, smiling, and nodding her head.
Facing the old priest's gaze, Salsa suddenly had a feeling that she was being seen through by the old priest all over her body, and in front of the old priest, Shalsa felt that she had no secrets.
The old priest's gaze quickly became bland, and he praised: "It's really rare, worthy of being a member of the Avna family, I can see that your fighting talent is very high." ”
The old priest's words shocked Salsha's heart, she didn't expect her to be able to see through herself with just her eyes, this is really terrible, but Sharsa also felt a little worried in her heart, because her sect beast nine-tailed silver cat had long been lost, without the sect beast, no matter how talented she was, she would not be able to show it.
However, seeing the look on the old priest's face, Salsa suddenly relaxed, because from the old priest's expression, it was clear that she didn't know all the secrets on her body, otherwise, she wouldn't be so calm at all.
"Do you know my brother?" said Salsa.
Hearing this, the old priest smiled and said, "Why don't you know each other, after all, we are still distant relatives, thinking back to the beginning, when Stella was your age, he often came to the village to play." ”
"Hmm...... Salsa felt like she was dragging her brother down. Salsa's tone was low.
The old priest shook his head and said, "You should think that Captain Manson has a point, you really can't stay on the airship, that's not the place for a child like you." The old priest paused, stared at Salsa with a pair of bland eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't talk this nonsense, Sharsha, do you want to improve your ability?"
"Of course, of course!" said Sarah, her eyes filled with excitement, and she said quickly.
The old priest stood up and said, "It's a little too small in the room, so let's go outside." So saying, the old priest took the lead and walked straight out.
When Salsa came out of the house, she found the old priest already sitting in front of a tree stump waiting for her.
"Sit down!" said the old priest to Salsa.
Salsa sat down.
Salsa knew that the old priest's next conversation was the point, so she quietly waited for the old priest's next step.
"Salsa, I'm old, and my children have no interest in fighting, they just want to live in peace, and I'm thinking that since you're so talented, why don't I pass on what I've learned to you, what do you think? The old priest said.
Salsa thought for a moment and said, "I, I want to be stronger. ”
The old priest said: "Salsa, don't be in a hurry to agree, you must know that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, this is not a playhouse." ”
"Salsa understood. ”
She paused, and continued, "Grandma Priest, there is one thing I don't understand, can you tell me why the pioneers attacked the city of Thaisus, is it because my brother stole their magic crystals?
The old priest shook his head and said, "This world is very complicated, full of strife and conflict of interests, and the main reason for all this is that the existence of our pioneers threatens the interests of some people in Saisus City, but those people are just rich and powerful, and they are not good people. ”
"The Morvidale family, Grandma Priestess, is it the Morvidale family?" asked Salsa.
The old priest nodded and shook his head, "Yes, but the Morvidale family is just one of them. It's not the mages who threaten Stella the most at the moment, it's the ...... of Purgatory."
"What!purgatory!?who is that?" said Salsa, with a look of shock on her face.
Seeing Salsa's shocked look, the old priest smiled faintly and said, "Salsa, you don't have to worry so much, although Stella is possessed by purgatory, her strength is not weak, and she will not be easily defeated." And I was an apprentice of the Earth Dragon Clan when I was young, and I happen to have a way to deal with the Purgatory Emissary, do you want to learn it?"
Salsa was startled, and her gaze at the old priest suddenly changed.
The old priest continued: "The grudge between the Purgatory Envoy and the Earth Dragon Clan has long been so deep that it cannot be resolved, and it was the Earth Dragon Clan who did it when the Purgatory was sealed at the bottom of the Ancient Mountain Forest thousands of years ago. ”
"It's just that what I didn't expect was that Purgatory broke through the seal at this time and took the opportunity to possess Stella's body, although I have a way to forcibly defeat him, but I am too old to easily die because of this big move, and the current situation is that even if the mages in Saisus City join forces, it will be difficult to stop Purgatory......"
