98 Back to Church (2)
"You take Layla out...... What exactly did you encounter? As he walked towards the inside of the church, Gaunt asked.
Because she was already in the church, Agni no longer had any scruples, and told the demon pioneer Garrett and what he was going to do to Layla, and Amelia spent a little longer with Layla during the incident, and having her supplement made the whole event more complete.
After listening to the two of them, Gaunt frowned deeply.
"...... monster with a giant mouth?" Gaunt muttered, his face very ugly, as if he had thought of something bad.
Although Blaze had defeated the Angel of Death, he did not connect it to Layla at this time. One is because he doesn't know how the Angel of Death came about, and the other is because the fire interrupts the transformation process in time, and he doesn't see the final form at all. Therefore, he only knew that Garlitt was going to do something bad to Layla, but he did not know the cause and effect.
But how could Gaunt, as a bishop, not know?
"That's ...... The larvae of the devourer...... "Gaunt's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot, and his mood was constantly sinking, and then he gritted his teeth and said word by word, "...... Die...... Angel! ”
For the ugliest blasphemy of the Angel of Death, this naked trampling on the Holy Light, Gaunt, as a bishop, could never tolerate it, let alone the angel who was almost blasphemed...... I lived under his gaze for eighteen years!
"Disgusting demon...... Gaunt muttered to himself, then turned to the fire and continued, "What happened later?" ”
"After I stabbed that monster to death with a holy spear, I got entangled with Garret, and in the end, it was Amelia and Layla who helped me kill him." Agni briefly stated the final result, "It was only after Layla was unconscious that we found a small bone spur in her waist. ”
With that, Agni handed the container containing the bone spurs in the Devourer's abdomen to Gaunt.
Gaunt opened it and closed it together with a glance, "What a disgusting evil...... This toxin ......"
Then he asked, "Leo Paladins and Millay Redshirt Knights are already scouting the battlefield where you are fighting, right?" ”
Agni replied, "They were already preparing to leave before we left, and now they should arrive at the Fountain of Featherfall." ”
Gaunt nodded. Although this incident has nothing to do with Layla's treatment, it does affect the situation in the whole of Cologneburg. Recently, the surroundings of Cologne Fort have not been very peaceful, and there are traces of the abyss everywhere, and it seems that the mountain rain is about to come. The incident of the Featherfall Fountain is the first action of the Abyss Demons with a clear goal, and the investigation of the battle scene will help for subsequent actions and decisions.
"Lord Bishop, Sister Layla will be fine, right? You're going to be able to heal her, right? Amelia asked, tears glistening in her eyes.
Gaunt glanced at him, didn't speak, and walked forward expressionlessly for a moment before he spoke, "Do ...... Prepare for the worst! ”
Hearing this, the three of them suddenly changed color!
Could it be that after all this effort, you still can't save Layla?
……
I came to a bright prayer room, and in the middle of the prayer room was a stone platform. Facing the stone platform is a huge emblem of holy light, the wings on both sides are vividly depicted, and under the reflection of stained glass, it looks extremely gorgeous.
In the prayer room, bishops and priests kept coming in, standing with heavy faces and talking to each other. Seeing Gaunt leading the three warriors in, they all stopped talking and looked at them with inquiry in their eyes.
Just now, Gaunt sent someone to inform Layla of her injury, so these priests who could come in handy gathered here, and the matter involved Layla, so they couldn't be careless. However, they don't have an idea of what happened to Layla's injuries for the time being.
"Put Layla on the stone platform." Gaunt said to Agni with a blank face.
Agni nodded, then took a slight step, and under the watchful eyes of the priests, he carried Layla to the stone platform, and then gently put it down.
This is a stone platform that is even bigger than the one used in the previous fire upgrade, and the white stone has a warm aura, which is obviously many times more advanced than the previous stone platform. Strange to say, Layla, who was still holding on to the fire just now, lay down on the stone platform obediently, and her hand was also down.
"Take your hood off." Gaunt said again.
Agni hesitated, but gritted his teeth and gently pulled the hood down, and as expected, the surrounding priests let out an exclamation.
At this time, Layla's face was already occupied by gray, and the breath of the abyss could not be surrounded, and her mouth was slightly open and she was constantly panting, as if she had a severe cold, and her hair had completely turned gray. If it weren't for the fact that all the priests here were familiar with Layla, they would definitely think that this was a demon from the abyss!
Agni ignored the voices around her, just straightened her hair, which looked messy from the intense activity, and then wiped the sweat from Layla's face with a silk scarf, and whispered in her ear, "Please...... Definitely coming back, we are all waiting for you......"
I don't know if it's an illusion, Layla's gasping has calmed down a little.
When the fire had done all this, it retreated.
"You guys go out first, and then ...... It's our fight. Gaunt said to the three again. Although it seems a little impersonal, it is also a proper duty to clean up idle people.
Agni answered, and then said to Bishop Gaunt, "All things please!" ”
"Please!" "Please!" Minter and Amelia said the same, and then exited the prayer room with the flames.
……
Out of the door, the two sensual girls couldn't hold back their tears, sat on the stone bench on the side, hugged each other and shed tears. Although the contact with Layla has only been like for a few days, her simplicity and purity have made the two of them regard her as good friends. And now this good friend is uncertain about his life and death.
"Brother Agni...... Will Sister Layla be okay......" Amelia said with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, I told Layla, we're all waiting for her. When she returns, we can go to eat all kinds of food together and have a picnic in the most beautiful places......" Agni barely managed to squeeze out a smile and touched Amelia's head, not so much comforting Amelia as comforting herself.
"I ...... I won't be so useless again, I have the ability to protect Sister Layla! Amelia wiped her tears and said.
"Hmmm! Of course! Agni gently hugged Amelia, then stood up and said, "Are you waiting here or going outside?" ”
"I'll wait here, I can't help anything, just let me wait here until the end......" Minter said with some sadness.
"Me too......" Amelia chose to wait with Minte.
Agni nodded and said, "So, I'll take care of the outside affairs...... If anything, let me know! ”
The two of them answered, and Agni walked the way he came.
……
By the time Agni returned to the Knights' courtyard, the confrontation with the Knights of Saya had already ended - in fact, after the carriage had successfully broken into the territory of the Knights of the Order, the Knights' actions were meaningless, could they still say that they wanted to enter the church to search for traces of the Abyss? That would not be a matter of overstepping the authority to say that it was a thing of the past, unless the Marquis of Saya and the Knights of Saya collectively threw away their brains, it would never be possible to do so.
Huls had already informed the knights of the Holy Knights of the whole story, and the Misri Paladin's face turned red with anger, and he had returned to the headquarters of the Holy Knights to find the leader, and more reserve knights were also denouncing the shameless behavior of the Knights of Saya. In the face of the team that carried out the orders of the paladins, the Knights of Sayah dared to pursue it so blatantly, and even the red-shirted knights themselves were killed, obviously not a misunderstanding can be explained.
"Marquis Saya can't be a spy with the devil! Intercept the carriage of the church and also try to disadvantage Priest Layla! It's just too daring! A gray-shirted knight couldn't help but say that he came from an ordinary peasant family, and he had never had a good impression of the nobles who exploited the commoners.
"Shut up!" A white-shirted knight scolded, "The ancestor of the Marquis of Sayah died defending the Grand Master of the Knights of Gavia, how can the name of the Sayah family be arranged by you at will!" ”
The white-shirted knight seemed to be scolding, but in fact he was protecting the reckless apprentice. It's not so much a rebuke as a reminder that the Marquis of Saya is deeply entrenched in Fort Cologne, and it would be bad if these words were reached by someone with ulterior motives to the ears of the Marquis of Sayya, after all, no one can guarantee that there will be no conspiracy and shameless traitor of the Marquis of Sayer in the Holy Order.
Although the gray-shirted knight was still a little unwilling, he still muttered and closed his mouth.
Gazing at all this, the fire sighed, this time against the Marquis of Saya and the Knights of Sayer, I don't know what the storm will be of use next. But now was not the time to think about it, Agni looked around, found where Huls was, and hurriedly walked over there.
"Brother Huls!" Agni cried.
"You really don't want to call me so politely, you are such a powerful warrior, I am really ashamed in front of you, how embarrassed to be called big brother by you!" Hulse turned his head and said helplessly.
Obviously, Hulse was very surprised by their strength when he saw that the three of them had broken through the defense of the Knights of Sayer cleanly. Although it was not a face-to-face confrontation between chariots and horses, they were so easy and comfortable to stop the pursuit of more than a hundred white-shirted knights and gray-shirted knights, this kind of strength was ranked first even in the entire Cologne castle, and what about Hulse himself? It's just an ordinary paladin apprentice and gray-shirted trainee knight.
Agni smiled, naturally seeing Huls's thoughts, and said, "Without you, we wouldn't have been able to do all of this, and we would have sent Layla back smoothly." From this point of view, it is also appropriate to call you Brother Sheng. ”
Huls had no choice but to spread his hands helplessly, and the two looked at each other and laughed. After fighting side by side against the Knights of Sayya, the two of them felt a lot closer to each other.
"Ahh By the way, where's Uncle Tyre? Agni asked.
"Uncle Tyre has arranged for me to rest at the stable, and he is scared enough, thanks to his ability to carry out your orders so decisively." "But he can't show up for the time being, or the Knights of Sayer will fix him." ”
Agni nodded, and then said, "Then take me over to see how the uncle is doing." ”
This time, the biggest hero of the move to break through the defense line of the Knights of Saya, breaking through almost the entire city, was not Agni or anyone else, but Uncle Tyre, who was still firmly controlling the carriage even if he was trembling with fright, and he should be thanked.
The carriage had been removed and set aside, and the two heavy military horses belonging to the Knights of the Holy Church had been untied and placed in the stables, where several people were waiting for them. These two heavy military horses have maintained a high-intensity gallop all the way, and they have hardly rested, and they have been able to support them until now, and the lights have run out, maybe if they run some more distance, these two heavy military horses will be scrapped.
Agni took a look, went up and patted the two horses on the head, and then followed Huls towards the house.
When I went inside, Uncle Tyre was not in good condition. For an ordinary village merchant like him, every battle that took place today turned his notion upside down, and Uncle Tyre was scared to collapse several times when faced with the armored swords and various barricades of the Knights of Sayya.
When the special battle took place beside him, he thought that the blade was going to cut at him. And what he didn't expect was that the combat power of several people in the carriage was so strong, and those knights who usually looked high were defeated like chickens and dogs under them, and they barely had much resistance!
Of course, Uncle Tyre in the countryside doesn't know what the time and place are, but he simply thinks that Agni and the others have passed through the layers of interception of the Saya Knights with an invincible attitude, then they are even more powerful than the Saya Knights.
So Uncle Thiel did not collapse, but under the stimulation of adrenaline, he completed the feat of rushing all the way with excellent driving condition and almost zero mistakes.
But now, when everything had calmed down for a while, Uncle Tyre's adrenaline-stimulated body began to show its after-effects, and he was lying on a wicker chair, hot tea in his hand, and a blanket draped over his body, trembling like a pendulum, and his overloaded muscles were issuing a strong warning to him.
This is what the fire saw when it came in.
"Uncle Tyre, are you alright?" Agni sat next to him and asked with concern.
Thiel just shuddered, squeezing a smile out of his face, "No...... It's okay......"
Knowing that what he needed most now was rest, Agni didn't talk nonsense, but took out a money bag from his folded bag and gently stuffed it into Tyre's arms.
Tyre's eyes widened, and he felt the weight in his arms, and according to his rough estimate, it would not be less than a hundred gold Echo! That's more than 6,000 silver solas! He has been a merchant for most of his life, and he has never seen so much money!
"No...... No...... My lord...... This money...... I ......" Tyre was a little frightened and tried to refuse, but his physical condition prevented him from saying much.
Agni smiled and said, "This is your remuneration plus compensation, after this kind of thing, your carriage is probably unusable, and the guards probably recognize your carriage - so part of this money will be counted as compensation for buying you a new carriage!" Otherwise, without the carriage, you will not be able to do your future work. ”
Under the persuasion of Agni, Tyre reluctantly accepted the money.
With the money given, Agni calmed down, let Tyre rest, and walked out with Hulse.
