Chapter 44: The Holy Capital Changes
Before noon, Lu Ming and the Holy Maiden took a carriage and arrived at the outskirts of the Holy Capital at night.
It's just that when I was approaching my destination, I don't know why, the holy capital at night looked a different kind of darkness.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Ming glanced at the saintess beside him and found that she was frowning, as if she had something on her mind, Lu Ming couldn't help but ask her.
"No, it's fine."
The Holy Maiden smiled reluctantly, and the closer she got to the Holy Capital, the more she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
It felt as if everything had left her.
"I guess it's an illusion."
The saint muttered softly, and then looked through the car window at the holy capital city in front of her, and forced herself to calm down.
Finally, it's back.
The holy woman couldn't help but smile on her face.
This is where she grew up, and although she was banished for some reason, she still loves the land of the Holy Capital.
Suddenly, the galloping carriage suddenly stopped, and everyone in the carriage leaned forward unexpectedly.
Especially the saintess who was distracted, she was almost accidentally planted, but fortunately, Lu Ming beside her stopped her.
"Thank you."
The saint said a word to Lu Ming softly, then frowned slightly, and poked her head out of the car window:
"Mother-in-law, has something happened?"
They were still some distance from the Holy Capital, but the carriage stopped at this place, and it was clear that something was wrong.
However, the guards of the saints in front of them looked blankly at the holy capital in front of them, obviously not knowing what was going on.
The old woman in one of them turned back to her and told her:
"Holy Maiden, there is something wrong with the situation in the Holy Capital, it is not completely dark at this time, but it is too quiet ahead."
"We'll move forward cautiously, Holy Maiden, and you'll be aware of the changes around you."
After the old woman had finished speaking, the carriage shook slowly again, and proceeded on its way.
And the holy woman looked at the holy woman in front of her, but it was difficult to smile anymore, but worried.
As the old woman said, there was not a single light in a huge holy capital after nightfall.
With such an anomaly in his eyes, it would be stupid not to think that something was going on in the Holy Capital.
It was at this time that the saint felt a chill in the car, and the maid of the brave man, who did not know when, appeared in the carriage, sat beside the brave man, and whispered in his ear.
After the maid finished speaking, even the face of the brave man changed.
"What's wrong?"
The saint couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"It's nothing, it seems that something is indeed wrong with the Holy Capital, let's just speed up and rush over and take a look."
Lu Ming said expressionlessly, so that the saint couldn't tell if he knew something.
However, for the brave, the saint believes unconditionally at the moment, she nodded, and then looked outward and said:
"Mother-in-law, there shouldn't be any danger around here, let's hurry up and enter the Holy Capital to have a look."
Since the holy maidens had said so, several maids outside looked at each other, and finally the old woman made a decision, sped up the car, and the carriage quickly rushed towards the holy capital.
And the saint had already sat silently in the car, closed her eyes and prayed, hoping that nothing would happen to the saint.
Lu Ming, who was on the side, glanced at the saintess and shook his head at her behavior.
It's too late to pray......
He sighed inwardly.
Just now, Lifa, who was in charge of the pathfinder outside the carriage, told him this:
In this holy capital, there is no longer a single living being.
In other words, what they are facing at the moment is a dead city.
When Lu Ming heard this, he was also shocked, as the largest and most prosperous city in the entire continent, the Holy Capital has tens of millions of believers in it?
In a place many times larger than the royal capital of the kingdom, do the people in it say that they will die? It has only been a few days since the Holy Maiden came out, and such a change has taken place in the Holy Capital.
Even during the brutal war 5,000 years ago, it was absolutely unique that so many people died in a few days.
However, Lu Ming also used his magic power to check, and the entire holy capital was indeed devoid of any breath of life.
This kind of thing is not easy to say to the saint, so he still chose to be silent and let the saint go to see it herself.
"Holy Maiden, the guards outside the Holy Capital are gone."
At the gate of the Holy Capital, the speed of the carriage had slowed down again, and the old woman opened the door of the carriage and said to the Holy Maiden.
"Let's go down and have a look."
Lu Ming proposed directly.
After getting off the carriage with the Holy Maiden, An Leia and Yulina also had to follow, but they were placed in the carriage by Lu Ming.
There was no one nearby, and they would not be in danger inside, but it was a scene in the city, not suitable for them to see.
"How could it be...... ...... like this"
On one side, the snort of the saint was already heard.
Through the gate of the guard area, Lu Ming had already seen the corpse of a knight.
And the saint was staring at the corpses in a daze, as if she had not reacted.
"Holy Maiden."
The old woman on the side reacted quickly, and knew what had happened to the city, so she immediately reached out to pull her.
But he didn't want the saint to ignore the old woman's concerns, but went straight into the city.
The moment she stepped into the city gate, a strong smell of blood came to her face, almost all the residential buildings had been reduced to ruins, and the scene of the tragic death of the civilians came into the eyes of the saint.
Unconsciously, two lines of tears appeared on the saint's cheeks, and her legs involuntarily walked forward, and there was no life in the place she passed.
"Let's go too."
Glancing at the saint's expression, Lu Ming sighed slightly, knowing that the saint was afraid that she would not be able to walk out of such a shadow for a while, he directly beckoned Lifa behind him, planning to go in and have a look by himself.
"Yes, sir."
Lifa replied respectfully, as the head maid of the demon clan, she didn't feel much about this kind of scene.
Lu Ming took her through the streets and alleys of the Holy Capital, and in a square where corpses were piled up, she saw an old man in a white robe with almost no intact body.
"This person is the Pope."
Lu Ming looked at the old man's corpse, suddenly stopped, and muttered.
Lifa's expression beside him was obviously a little surprised, and then after feeling that the old man's level was 200, his identity was confirmed, and his face was a little complicated.
She also didn't expect that the Pope, who was at the peak of his strength and reputation in this era, would appear in front of them in such a miserable form.
"Lord Demon King, what kind of person is doing this kind of thing?"
Being in such a scene, Lifa couldn't help but ask.
After all, wanting to kill so many people is also a kind of strength, at least she can't do it, and before she kills so many people, her magic power has been exhausted.
"I don't know."
Lu Ming shook his head, his eyes were deep, and told her:
"I only know that that person hasn't been away from this holy capital for a long time now, and his position at the moment is probably on the third capital."
The other party's magic power is very special, even he can recognize it, so he easily found the other party's location on the mainland.
