Chapter 186: Ascetic Ganser and Returning Old Friends
The icy north wind blew across the sea, across the beach, and finally disappeared into the rolling mountains of pines and cypresses, and a rough palm with a bloody scab peeled aside the branches, allowing the foolish eye to see Stormwind Town in the distance.
In the dark town, the residents go to bed early, and only the higher Hearthstone Inn, which is brightly lit, like a lighthouse, guides the lone sail in the sea to return smoothly.
Van Cleef was a lonely sailer, but he couldn't make it back, he didn't want the disaster to spread to his wife, daughter, friends, and innocent townspeople, and the only thing he could do now was to make sure his family was safe before he flew away, and if he could, he could meet them.
Still is...... Forget it.
Van Cleef shook his head, in the darkness, his eyes flashed with a ghostly light, the powerful Son of Darkness invaded his mind, but due to his own injury, he could not deprive him of consciousness, and temporarily slept in the depths of his mind, allowing Van Cleef to stay awake, but he knew that no matter how the Son of Darkness woke up, this peaceful state of coexistence would be broken in an instant, so he could not ask for help from the fortress or the Holy See, lest the Son of Darkness make drastic moves, let alone meet his wife and daughter, so as to prevent the Son of Darkness from taking advantage of the void.
He must always have a strong desire to survive, or the Children of Darkness will take over his body in the moment his mind is shaken.
Van Cleef, who was choked by the throat of fate, realized what it means to be involuntarily.
Even though his family was at the Hearthstone Hotel, he couldn't see each other...... Van Cleef forced himself to withdraw his gaze and instead looked at the endless northern seas, a cursed place where the best escape was possible. Van Cleef had the Children of Darkness lodged in him, making him feel like he was one with the shadows, if it weren't for that, with his current strength at the peak of the fourth order, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of the legendary penance, as long as he could use the night to escape far away, the members of the Inquisition could only sigh in admiration.
But why not? All he is doing now is to give himself a pitiful living space, and maybe before dawn, he will be forced to leave this world. Van Cleve's eyes darkened, and he sighed helplessly, no matter what, he had to hold on until the last moment.
Time to go......
Before leaving, Van Cleef reluctantly brushed aside the branches and looked at the Hearthstone Inn again, this wonderful inn destined to cause a trend, it looked more and more charming under the night sky, he had hoped that his name would follow the Hearthstone Inn throughout the Holy Empire, but now he could not see this day.
Let's go!
Van Cleaf, with a gloomy expression, gradually let go of his palm, but his eyes froze suddenly, as he saw a group of familiar figures quietly walking towards the Hearthstone Inn.
From the Holy See Hub, the legendary ascetic Ganse, who is now the head of the Inquisition, led many members of the Inquisition, as well as a legendary powerhouse of unknown origin dressed in black robes, to appear in front of the door of the Hearthstone Inn, and at this juncture, their purpose was obvious.
"Damn!"
Van Cleef couldn't help but crush the branches, and his pupils burst out of a terrifying black light, at this moment, the Son of Darkness felt the surging killing intent in his heart, and did not hesitate to instill dark energy into it, forcibly seizing Van Clive's body, it was not the best choice for the Children of Darkness, so it used a gradual erosion method, so that Van Cleef automatically became a slave of darkness, as Van Clive's strength skyrocketed, the door of darkness and shadow was completely opened for him, just waiting for Van Cleef to break through the legendary shackles, he never had a chance to turn back.
The child of darkness hidden in his mind, let out a silent smirk, it is the embodiment of sin, it needs a loyal slave of sin, at this moment, the talented Van Cleef is undoubtedly the best choice, the old lord because Van Cleef wasted time, sighed, and now, the son of darkness wants to use sin to fully stimulate Van Clive's potential.
My slave...... Throw yourself into the darkness...... Bathing in sin...... You will be the executioner of the Lord of Darkness......
The Children of Darkness tempted Van Cleaf, step by step towards a situation where there was no way out, in front of him, there was a picture of his wife and daughter about to die tragically, Van Cleaf's face struggled and distorted, resisting and hideous, but he could not stop his steps, he came to the side of the Dark Gate, he took the last step, from the son of darkness of sin, with a bloody scene, welcome Van Cleef to join.
But just as he saw that he was about to touch the threshold of darkness, Van Cleef suddenly stood still, retracted his steps that were about to fall, and his chaotic eyes returned to calm, and in the madness and annoyance of the children of darkness, he looked at the figure walking out of the Hearthstone Inn.
"If you're guests, I'm more than welcome, otherwise you'll go back wherever you came from."
Anduin's gaze swept over the menacing members of the Inquisition, and finally fixed on the face of the legendary ascetic Ganser, a powerful member of the Holy See, who was no more than middle-aged, but his face was extremely old, and wrinkles were engraved on his forehead like a rock, which reminded Anduin of the appearance of mountain giants, with the same thick brow bones, and the spear that shielded their eyes from time, allowing their gaze to see the direction of life.
Just by the sudden touch of his eyes, Anduin felt the horror of the ascetics, as if no amount of terrifying wind and waves were enough to shake their figures.
"I'm going to take Van Cleef's wife and daughter."
Just now, the fierce cold wind was still blowing wantonly, and the ragged legendary penance was cultivating, but as soon as he spoke, the cold wind scattered and retreated, and he was so frightened by the powerful momentum he unintentionally revealed that he fled in fright.
"It looks like you're not guests."
Anduin did not underestimate this barefoot legendary penance, but he had to protect the Hearthstone Inn behind him, as well as the customers in the inn who needed to be guarded, so even if there were five legendary powerhouses standing in front of him, his attitude did not tremble, raised his hand, pointed in the direction of the Silver Fortress, Anduin said expressionlessly: "Go back, you are not welcome in the Hearthstone Inn." ”
Ascetic Ganser did not speak, his eyes and lips did not tremble, a certain member of the Inquisition standing beside him, stepped forward, took out a heavy leather, and said in a deep voice: "The Inquisition is ordered to act, Marquis Anduin, please cooperate with our work, this is an arrest warrant signed by Prince Terenus and His Majesty the Sun Pope, Van Cleef, the former president of the Silver Fortress Builders' Union, killed many fortress soldiers, caused heavy losses to the fortress, the crime is extremely heinous, the crime is unforgivable, we must arrest Van Cleef's wife and daughter, That's an order! ”
Command!
The other party deliberately added an accent to this word, and Anduin received the arrest warrant, his brows raised slightly, and a sacred fire burned in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the heavy leather was burned to ashes.
The members of the inquisition looked at this scene dumbfounded, in the past actions, they had not seen disobedient guys, but no matter how those people resisted, they had to be afraid of the terrifying power of the inquisition, at that time, it was still the peak of the fourth order Archbishop Kidd was in power, and the reputation of the inquisition in the Silver Fortress had reached the point of stopping crying, and now, the chief of the inquisition was replaced by a powerful legendary powerhouse, which made the inquisition's deterrent power several times.
But even so, Anduin burned the arrest warrant without changing his face, which made the members of the court, who were accustomed to seeing low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, feel that they had been slapped in the face, however, some people had long expected this situation, and they were a little shocked at the same time, they quietly gave Anduin a thumbs up, these people were all the members of the court who followed Kidd and rushed to Stormwind Town, they saw Anduin and Kidd arguing with reason, angrily denouncing his beliefs, and not giving the court any face at all.
At that time, Anduin did not have much influence, so he dared to confront the court, and now he has officially become the leader of the party, and it seems to be expected not to give the court face.
Because of Kidd's relationship, the members of the court who were invisibly suppressed really vented their anger in their chests, but then, they all coincidentally worried about Anduin, because the new chief of the referee is not an ordinary person.
"You! Marquis Anduin, do you know what you have done? You are provoking the authority of the Fortress Royal Family and the Holy See of the Sun! It stands to reason that the arrest warrant only needs to be presented and cannot be handed over to others, but he wanted to suppress Anduin's arrogance too much, but Anduin snatched it away without saying anything, which caused the court to lose face.
However, Anduinri didn't even want to pay attention to this man.
Command? Bullshit orders! In Stormwind Town, he is the only one who has the right to call the shots! Anyway, after the creation of the Sun Holy See, he, the embodiment of the Holy Light, was incompatible with Constantine, and as for the problem of the fortress royal family, Anduin was not worried, with the face of the old lord, the relationship with Arthas, and the guilt of Terenus, it would never come to the point of a complete break.
He looked at the legendary ascetic who stood like a rock, and his words revealed an irresistible meaning: "It is impossible to use a piece of waste paper to grab someone from me. ”
"It's not a waste paper ......"
The man was still trying to argue, but was suddenly interrupted by Ganser's voice: "I'm not used to doing things with waste paper either. ”
The arrest warrant was also said to be waste paper by the head of his own magistrate, which made the member of the tribunal suddenly embarrassed, and he couldn't speak with his mouth wide open.
Anduin didn't care about the change in his expression, glanced at the steel cross that Gan Se was carrying, frowned and said, "Woe to my wife and daughter, I understand the changes in the Silver Fortress, but I can't figure it out, why arrest his family?" ”
"Because Van Cleef still retains his consciousness."
Ganther seemed to be accustomed to cherishing words like gold, and did not want to say a word at all, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Tuhat, the adjudicator who led the crowd, and then disappeared without warning, and Tuhat, who put on the heavy armor again, only to feel that the crisis was coming, and hurriedly raised his gun to block, but found that it was too late, Ganser's fist, like a meteor falling from the sky, its speed was so fast, its momentum was so strong, it was irresistible.
Fortunately, the legendary penance did not aim his fist at the Champion Knights, but bombarded the snow-covered ground, and in an instant, the flat ground set off monstrous waves, and the members of the Champion Knights tried to dodge, but there was no way to avoid it, and they could only watch the earth waves shoot down on their heads......
This blow did not cause many casualties to the Knights of the Champions, but the sharp momentum mobilized by Tuhat disappeared immediately, and the adjudicator had no other choice but to organize manpower and rescue first, she could feel that Ganser had no killing intent, but the indifference in her eyes made her very uncomfortable.
When the earth wave was about to fall, the legendary penance returned to Anduin's face, as if he had just done a trivial matter, and his expression did not change, but the people present felt a particularly strong spiritual oppression, obviously Ganse was standing beside them, his hands naturally drooped, and there was no movement, but they regarded it as a powder keg that exploded at any time, and every move carried the power to destroy the world.
The power of a punch is so terrifying, what if you use that cross again?
Everyone's eyes were focused on Anduin's body, and Ganse showed his wrist, wondering if this incarnation of holy light would be able to continue to refuse with a hard face?
Van Cleef, who was watching this scene from afar, gritted his teeth, he hoped that Anduin could make the choice he hoped for the most, but this would undoubtedly drag Anduin and the Hearthstone Inn into the quagmire, ask yourself, Van Cleef does not feel that his friendship with Anduin has reached the level of death, Anduin can come forward, which has made him sincerely grateful, but it is a pity that the power of the Inquisition is so strong that it makes him tremble, if Anduin continues to persevere, the consequences will be unimaginable.
If I stopped hiding, my wife and daughter would no longer be in danger, and Anduin would not have to be difficult. If the Hearthstone Inn is safe, at the very least, it will let others know that I was involved in the renovation.
As long as I come forward, all these problems will be solved, and it is meaningless to continue to hide, and it will only bring unwarranted disasters to my family and friends......
Anduin, thank you, no matter whether you succeed or fail, at least you fought for me, and I will remember your kindness, but unfortunately, I can only repay it in the next life.
The Children of Darkness felt that Van Cleve's desire to survive was rapidly decreasing, and hurriedly released his evil energy, intending to take over the control of his body, but at this moment, a white palm appeared on Van Cleve's shoulder......
"Have a little more faith in my old friend."
Van Cleef's heart froze, neither he nor the Children of Darkness felt anyone approaching, he suddenly turned his head, saw Archbishop Kidd and a familiar face, his throat shook, and he subconsciously wanted to say the other party's name, but the person interrupted with a smile: "Don't worry, don't be surprised, my teacher just died, I always need to come back to pay respects, by the way, take a look at Stormwind Town, and see those old friends." ”
The man named Benedictas withdrew the palm that was placed on Van Cleef's body, and at the same time silently obliterated the Children of Darkness, and he pointed to Anduin, as if introducing the treasure he had first discovered, and said with a smile: "Look, Anduin is about to show his magical abilities again!" ”
