Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Grandparents Who Carry It With You
Royal Palace of Palermo.
As time went on, the atmosphere in the city seemed to become more and more tense, and the number of Norman guards patrolling increased, as if the palace had sensed the uneasiness and intrigue surging from the outside world.
However, in the eyes of people with real ulterior motives, this is just a bluff when the weak are weak.
Three other demigods from the Pure-Blood Cult finally arrived in Palermo City in the night.
Since Agrippina's defection and the arrest/death of the Tiberius brothers, the Pure-Blood Hermitage has lost three demigods.
For the hermitage itself, which only has a total of eight demigods, this is undoubtedly a very painful number, and this matter is obviously inseparable from the Azure Sword, so they have long been on the revenge blacklist of the pure-blood hermitage.
If it weren't for the fact that after the end of the Empire's Southern Expedition, everyone hid in Solomon City, the center of the tech camp, and the retaliatory attack would have come much earlier.
And the revenge that comes later will also become more cruel and violent because more anger accumulates.
At night, in the city of Palermo, in the sewers and alleys of the slums, the activity of rat colonies began to become more frequent, and people were constantly scolding and slapping everywhere with brooms to drive away the rats that broke into the house.
There were also dense swarms of bats flying in the night sky, and passers-by walking on the street suddenly raised their hands and touched the droplets that fell on their hair.
It seems to be rain, but it stenges like bird excrement.
Through colonies of rats and bats, unknown plagues are quietly spreading throughout the city.
At the harbor, the sailors, who had just come out of the tavern drunk, suddenly saw a dozen swollen corpses floating on the sea.
The corpses were washed up onto the beach by the sea, and then burst apart, sending a large number of bats flying out of it.
Every bat that landed on the road of the harbor immediately turned into a figure dressed in black robes and armed with weapons, and without hesitation, it launched an indiscriminate killing and attack on the surrounding crowd.
Legion of Blood Slaves.
Soon, the Norman guards, who received the signal of the riot in the port, hurried in the direction of the alarm, but suddenly became dizzy and nauseous on the way, and one by one they fell to the ground and convulsed, completely losing the ability to continue fighting.
The Blood Slaves ignored the city guards who had fallen in the streets, and quickly surrounded the Palermo Palace.
In a matter of moments, a Blood Demigod strolled down the street, stopped in front of the Bloodslave Legion's defenses, and silently watched the gates of the Palermo Palace.
"The Gate of the Dead?" He studied the reliefs on the walls with great interest.
It didn't take long for the other two demigods to arrive here one after another.
"Commodus, why haven't you gone in?" One of the demigods laughed, his eyes full of malice, "Is it because you are afraid that you will be besieged after entering and repeat the mistakes of the Tiberius brothers?" ”
"Huh." Commodus smiled but did not speak.
It is, of course, impossible to repeat the mistakes of the past. The Tiberius brothers' misfortune at Venis is no secret, as the other party took advantage of the demonic tide's restrictions on the demigods and besieged them with a large number of guards.
Now that the upper limit of the Demon Tide is Lv.20, let alone the demigods. The transcendent was not killed in an instant within a single appearance of the demigod, so it was worth bragging about.
However, the reason why Commodus did not enter in the first place was indeed because he was afraid that the other party would have some messy means.
Nowadays, the means possessed by the people of the Azure Sword are not top secret, the Immortal Phantom Sword, the Unyielding Holy Sword, and the legendary law of death that no one understands, although it may not be able to reach the level of counter-killing demigods, but I have to admit that it is a bit difficult to do.
"Now that everyone is here." Commodus grinned toothlessly, with a slight murderous intent, and said, "Then let's go inside." ”
Even if the two demigods on the other side are in the palace, and there are three on this side, there is a high probability that they will not be able to lose. What's more, the target of the hunt here is the Azure Sword people, and if the demigods on the other side have a minimum IQ, they will choose to evacuate instead of fight to the death.
Demigods who can survive until now should at least have the most basic characteristic of "cherishing their lives".
And as long as they can contain or even force back the two demigods, the Azure Sword Mercenary Group will no longer have any possibility of turning the tables, and can only be disposed of by the pure-blood hermitage.
In addition, I heard that except for the head of the group, all of them are beautiful and spiritually rich virgins, which is undoubtedly a rare perfect blood bag in the world for the blood clan.
It is more appropriate to imprison them within the organization, locked up in a secret location that does not see the light of day, and provide everyone with delicious food for a long time.
In fact, the pure-blood hermitage has already built captivity tools, blood transfusions, and blood freezers, just waiting for the three demigods to succeed in this hunt and bring back these precious prey, and then everyone can enjoy their distorted faces and cries of pain, and enjoy the joy of revenge.
————————
In the palace of Palermo, Peggy, who was brought back by Eleanor and Medea, is being reprimanded and educated by Nora at this time.
"I told you too!" Peggy also wanted to argue for herself, "I'm here to find Asker......"
"Where are you looking for Asker!" Nora was also so angry that she even seemed to want to slap Peggy, "If we get Asker back, only to find out that you haven't come back yet, and you don't know where you've gone, do you want us to go back to you?" Last time you were punished by Asker for hanging a sign for a day, forgot?! ”
Peggy pursed her lips and stopped talking.
"Nola, here!" Medea suddenly warned.
"What's coming?" Nora was stunned for a moment, then said, "Oh, they invited the demigods, didn't they?" ”
"Of course." Medea was a little uneasy.
"Then let's do it too." Sheila said with her palm slapped beside her.
In the open hall where everyone was at this time, three objects were neatly placed from left to right, namely:
Coffins with corpses, bonfires, and tables with candlesticks.
Sheila stepped forward and placed a coin in the corpse's mouth.
Then came Eleanor, who lit the bonfire with a torch.
Finally, Medea planted the remaining half of the candle given by Malkina on the candlestick, and then took the candlestick and lit it on the bonfire next to it.
It wasn't long before a fog suddenly erupted in the room. In the mist, a small boat emerges from the mist along the River Styx, with Appilius and Agrippina on board.
"Grandpa!" "Master!" Sheila and Peggy hurriedly shouted.
The two demigods stepped out of the boat, and the River Styx and the fog dissipated. On the other side, in the roaring bonfire, a figure gradually came out.
"Your Excellency Ancestor!" Eleanor hurried over to greet her.
"Just call me grandpa, little Eleanor." The man who came was none other than the Bavarian demigod, the red-haired Otto.
The candle on the far right burned, and the Succubus Queen, accompanied by Malkina, suddenly appeared at the table, and no one present noticed how they appeared.
Medea crossed her arms, her expression was lukewarm, and she did not speak, but Malkina immediately walked up, enthusiastically hooked Medea's neck and dragged her over, and said to the Succubus Queen:
"Your Majesty, do you think Camillica has become a little cute?"
"Let go!" Medea ripped her arm away.
"It's a little." The Succubus Queen covered her mouth and smiled lazily.
"The enemy has attacked, three demigods in total, you ......" Shirley and Derek came to the hall and were about to say "are you going somewhere to take refuge", when they saw that there were already four more demigods in the hall.
Shirley & Derek: ..................
Do you have demigods with you? Why did four more people come out all of a sudden? When did the demigods become so worthless?!
