Volume 2 Purgatory Chapter 22 Seeing the Gentleman (I)
The end of the conversation is back to the god sacrifice. Vertices
This seemingly grand event proves their identity as outsiders.
If they don't want to clash with the people of the Great Wilderness, they'd better get the message out of this event.
Han Feiyu kicked the gravel on the street and said, "I still have to inquire about the news of the divine sacrifice, I feel that it will be a breakthrough for us to integrate into purgatory." ”
Ed mused, "I might have a way. ”
Han Feiyu said happily: "What way?"
Ed pointed to the passers-by, approached Han Feiyu and said in a low voice, "Vision." ”
Han Feiyu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
One hundred and thirty-three visions of the Divine Law, which can forcibly hypnotize the five senses of human beings, turning them into puppets that can be driven by the lawmaker.
He frowned and retorted: "This level of divine law is very harmful to ordinary people, if you don't do it, you will die, and you can't ask questions from the mouth of a dead person." ”
Ed said: "What do ordinary people know, if you want to know all the information, the object of the vision must of course be those dignitaries with spiritual powers, such as the lord of this city...... Moreover, Camian's people never hurt the innocent, and they never bullied the weak. ”
Han Feiyu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, as if he wanted to mock him.
Suddenly there was a breeze behind you.
Then they heard the girl's voice again.
"That's not okay, it's a felony to hurt someone for no reason!"
Han Feiyu only felt the hairs on his back rising, and he could barely control the urge to jump up.
Ed frowned and turned to look at the girl.
The girl was spotless, looking at them earnestly with her hands in her hands.
Ed pondered, "Why are you here?"
The girl smiled and said, "Because I have been following you." ”
The girl's voice was weak, but Ed didn't dare to take her for a normal girl, he had probed the surroundings as he fled, and it was impossible for anyone to follow them.
What's going on with this girl in front of you?
Ed frowned, contemplating the truth of the girl's words.
If he had found it along the spiritual power or smell they had left behind, he could still understand it a little, but the girl had always been behind him.
Xu was aware of Ed's solemnity, and the girl smiled sweetly, and by the way, she also revealed her deep, deep dimples.
Ed asked, "Girl, what do you want by following us all the time?"
The girl spread her hands and forcibly pretended to be old-fashioned.
"You two are too dangerous, I have to make sure you don't endanger the city. ”
Ed was stunned.
Ghosts protect humans from the hands of humans?
How do you feel that your identities have been reversed?
Han Feiyu wanted to say something, but the girl didn't pay attention to him at all, so he had to give up.
That's right, although he has excellent appearance, height and temperament, but obviously not as good as a natural nobleman like Ed, no wonder people and girls don't even want to land their eyes on him.
Ed shook his head and changed the subject, "You just said a felony? Who can convict?"
The girl tilted her head and replied, "Me, don't look at me like this, you can't beat me in a fight." ”
Ed was slightly stunned, and then realized that he was really not comfortable talking to someone who took everything for granted.
Because he can't tell.
He looked at Han Feiyu, who was squatting on the ground and drawing circles, and kicked it.
Han Feiyu was still fighting wits and courage with the ants, and when he was suddenly attacked, he fell directly into the mud.
Such an embarrassed image actually fell into the eyes of the girl, Han Feiyu was furious, he bounced up directly from the ground with a carp, and glared angrily at the man who attacked him.
Ed said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry I didn't expect you to kick so much." ”
Han Feiyu was stunned, and his anger was even more like going crazy.
Ed hurriedly said, "Don't forget the business!"
Han Feiyu thought to himself, you and your sister Yunshan have been chatting for so long a day, but now you are here to remind me not to forget the business?
The more he thought about Ed's move today
The more weird he felt, the more his eyes slowly became very weird.
Ed saw Han Feiyu's gaze, and his right foot couldn't stop moving.
Han Feiyu took a big step back and looked at him warily.
To be precise, it should be looking at Ed's feet.
The girl interjected, "What is your business, why don't you tell me." ”
Ed asked, "Haven't you been following us all the time? ”
The girl was stunned and glared at him viciously.
Ed said, "Look at what I'm doing, aren't you so capable?"
Han Feiyu covered his forehead, thinking to himself that this person is really a complete fool, the little girl clearly has a good impression of you, how can you talk like that?
Even Han Feiyu thinks so, let alone the girl herself?
The girl clenched her fists and looked at Ed angrily.
Xu was aware of his aphasia, and Ed picked his face in embarrassment.
The atmosphere between the fields became more and more delicate, and Han Feiyu hurriedly played a round.
"What's your name?"
"Mo Xinxin. ”
Han Feiyu was surprised: "Surname Demon?"
The girl let out an 'um' and asked, "Do you have a problem?"
Han Feiyu shook his head, thinking that since the seemingly harmless girl in front of him was a ghost, it would not be surprising that no matter what her surname was.
"We want to ask you anything about the divine sacrifice, do you know something?"
Mo Xinxin blinked, and suddenly turned to look at Ed.
"I want to hear you ask me. ”
Ed frowned and asked, "Why?"
Mo Xinxin thought for a while and said, "I prefer to talk to strong people. ”
Ed was stunned and turned his head to look at Han Feiyu.
Han Feiyu's expression froze on his face, like a circus clown.
Mo Xinxin stuck out her tongue and grimaced at Han Feiyu.
Han Feiyu was a little injured and walked away with his head down.
Ed looked at Han Feiyu's dejected back, "I don't like the way you speak. ”
Mo Xinxin was stunned and asked, "Then I'll apologize later?"
Ed looked at her in surprise, wondering why Mo Xinxin was like this.
Even if it's a demon spirit, it's a little too human.
The griffon he had faced was also a demon, but the beast was barely willing to communicate with him, let alone apologize softly.
Mo Xinxin looked at him, "Don't be surprised, my tutor is better." ”
Ed smiled, "So, what's your ontology?"
Mo Xinxin asked, "Body?"
Ed's expression grew grim, "I knew from the first time I saw you, you weren't human, right?"
Mo Xinxin blinked her eyes wide, and asked suspiciously, "I don't know what you're talking about?"
Ed looked at her with a calm expression.
She looked at Ed too, her face full of confusion.
Calm with seriousness, doubts with a smile.
In the middle of the night, Ed was defeated.
"Well, it's not good if you say no. ”
Mo Xinxin smiled triumphantly and waved her small white fist.
Ed asked, "If you ask me a question, I'll ask you." ”
Mo Xinxin asked knowingly, "What kind of problem are you talking about?"
Ed said, "That's the question Han Feiyu just asked you. ”
Mo Xinxin pretended to be confused, "But I forgot what to do." ”
The corner of Ed's eye twitched, "Divine sacrifice." ”
Mo Xinxin suddenly realized: "I said it earlier, I thought it was a big deal." ”
Edxin said you know everything!
But after all, there are requests for others now, and no matter how dissatisfied you are, you can't say it directly.
So he just nodded, plus a nasty 'um'.
Mo Xinxin suddenly jumped in front of Ed and looked up at him, "But I'm sick, I'm very sick, and I can't talk much if I can't heal well." ”
Hearing the news of Mo Xinxin's illness, Ed's heartbeat skipped for no reason, and then quickly returned to normal.
"What a disease. ”
Mo Xinxin's eyes widened, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes, and she reached out to Ed's face.
"I can't say that either, you
Hold it first. ”
Ed was stunned, but still held Mo Xinxin's hand, "And then?"
Mo Xinxin's face seemed to be a little red, "No then, that's it." ”
Ed seemed to feel that something was wrong with this position, and struggled to let go of the softness in his hands.
Mo Xinxin grabbed him with her backhand and threatened, "If you pull your hand out, I won't tell you!"
Ed sighed and said helplessly, "Say it." ”
Mo Xinxin laughed instantly.
It's like cloudy weather, Ed thought silently.
"Divine sacrifice is a ritual that has existed since the birth of purgatory, and it is intended to pay tribute to the spirits of the dead who died in war in the past. ”
"How often?"
"I don't know, maybe decades, maybe a hundred years, but generally not more than one hundred and fifty years. ”
"Meaning, it's not a holiday, is it? ”
"People in purgatory think that death is the most terrible thing, how can they set up a festival dedicated to the dead. ”
"What about the location? Is the location of the shrine random?"
"The place of the divine sacrifice was determined by the high priest of the tribe by divination. ”
"Who decides the timing of the sacrifice?"
"Three saints. ”
"Three saints?"
"Yes, the Sword Saint wanders in various tribes all the year round, and his whereabouts are uncertain, the Ice Saint sits in the Ice Field, restraining the ghosts there to become a powerful country, and the last Heart Saint is the most mysterious, all the news I know about him is a legend, and no one knows whether he lives or dies. ”
"Are they strong?"
"Yes, my father has already stood at the top of this world, but he does not dare to go against the wishes of the Three Sages to hear others say that our family has lived in the Great Wilderness for generations without the fire rock is the meaning of the Sword Sage, because he is worried that if there is anything that needs my father, he will not be able to find my father. ”
The top of the world?
Isn't that a strong man similar to the headmaster of Kanter?
Ed frowned, finally analyzing the survival mode of Purgatory.
The Three Saints should be at the top of the food chain, and below them are the twelve demon spirits who have lived for an infinite number of years.
As for the chiefs of these tribes and the like, they probably also have the strength of the ninth order peak, but the combat power should be much weaker.
Otherwise, with human nature, how could they be willing to be trapped in one-fifth of the continent.
And the Three Sages should be biased towards humans, so those ghosts took a step back to create this typhoon shelter to buffer the contradictions and conflicts between different races.
He frowned slightly, and continued to ask, "How long was the first divine sacrifice?"
Mo Xinxin tilted her head, "I don't know, I guess I can only ask my father about this kind of thing." ”
Ed was surprised, "You don't know?"
Mo Xinxin glanced at him, "The history of purgatory is so long, how can I remember it all?"
Ed asked, "Won't you all be ranked in the first and second sessions?"
Mo Xinxin asked rhetorically: "Why do you want to rank? Could it be that the people of later generations should be divided into different ones? The first is more important than the second, and so on?"
Ed was dumbfounded.
Although the function of sorting is only for the convenience of human records, the situation mentioned by Mo Xinxin is inevitable.
When I watched the NBA when I was a child, there were always elders on the sofa lamenting and sighing that the All-Stars in the XX year were not as good as the first year, and that the players in the XX class were not as good as the XX class.
Every time he hears these words, he gets upset.
It's not a matter of the times, forcibly arranging them together for comparison, can you really distinguish the winner from the loser?
Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong, everyone knows that this is impossible.
He thought for a moment and asked one last question.
"And what about you? Why are you here?"
Mo Xinxin pursed her lips, as if hesitating to tell Ed the answer to her question.
Ed didn't say anything, after all, the question he asked was likely to involve something confidential.
After a while, Mo Xinxin spoke.
Her voice was soft, and it seemed to carry a little sadness.
"I want to find the Sword Saint, only he can save my father. ”
