Chapter 229: Stealing the Sky and Changing the Day
"Didn't you say that the ritual only required Terran children under the age of fourteen? These two men are obviously over fourteen years old, right? ”
"The six elders said that it doesn't have to be a child of the human race, but the child of the human race is easier to catch. As for these two people, I heard that they came to save their friends, but they were directly caught by the six elders who happened to be there. ”
"I see, these two little guys are quite bold."
"You know! These two imps just killed a group of people! If it weren't for the six elders taking action personally, their friends would have really been rescued! ”
"A group of people? Really? Tsk, you can kill so many people at such a young age, these two guys must have the blood of the demon race! ”
"You have the blood of the demon race! Your whole family is descended from the demons! And it is also the most despicable and lowly cowardly blood...... Uh-huh! Uh-huh! ”
It's Garon's voice!
Roger, who was still a little dazed, suddenly woke up, and when he was about to open his eyes, he suppressed the impulse in time, and just pricked up his ears to listen to the movements around him.
Listening to the voice, there seemed to be only two people in charge of guarding them, but there seemed to be a gaze staring at Roger from time to time. Roger, with his eyes closed, was about to quietly cast his magic, but he was helpless to find that he had no magic at all! Roger, who was not bent on dying, struggled quietly, but he was so tightly tied that he couldn't move at all.
"Smack!"
"Poof!"
“…… Okay, okay, don't smoke, it's going to be troublesome! You've gagged him, now it's okay to ignore him. ”
"Really, since these two little ghosts are over fourteen years old, why don't the six elders just kill them?"
"Originally, the Sixth Elder really planned to kill them directly. As a result, I suddenly found that these little ghosts had life marks on their bodies, so they were sent together. ”
"The mark of life? This special kind of magic sigil seems to be only arranged by a top-level druid, right? These two little imps are still the descendants of some big guys? ”
"If this is really the case, it will be troublesome, but after careful inspection, the six elders found that these imps of the eastern tribe have this kind of mark on their bodies, and it is estimated that they are left by the iron wall of the divine tree, and it should be just to protect these imps."
“…… So what to do? Not when this mark is expelled. Will the person who left the mark sense it? ”
"Call you stupid, you still don't admit it! That's why the Six Elders sent them over together! As long as these two imps are used as additives during the ceremony, and then they are killed together, no matter how big the trouble is, there will be six elders in front of them. ”
"You call me stupid again! I'm a little stunned, but I'm definitely not stupid! Eat me a punch! ”
"It's against you! See if I don't beat you to a pig's head! Don't run! ”
"Help! The boss is beating people! ”
Listening to the two voices playing and playing far away, and feeling that the gaze that had been staring at him also left, Roger quietly opened his eyes and looked around.
It's a humble log cabin. It should be a temporary resting place for hunting troops who go out hunting. In a similar hut, Roger stayed for one night while learning bows and arrows with the rangers. Although it is simple, it can still shelter from the wind and rain.
Looking out the window, it seemed to be noon. From the early hours of the morning when Roger and Garon were knocked unconscious to now, in such a short period of time, the people who captured them should not have been able to go far.
Now the humble hut has been used as a makeshift prison for the Fallen, and in the small room lies a dozen children, all from several nearby druid villages. Roger's friends were among them. However, to Roger's great gratification, he did not see Hawke among everyone. Looks like Hawke should have escaped without incident.
Not far from Roger, Garon, whose mouth was gagged with a rag, was constantly struggling. But it wasn't the simple thick hemp rope that Roger was used to bind Galleon, but a special rope mixed with wire. Even with Garon's divine power, there was no way to break free from this rope with pure strength.
Garon still had two red marks on his face, apparently from the previous beatings, but he was obviously not too badly injured due to his rough skin. On the contrary, it was the left hand that was injured in the previous battle with the Storm Bear that affected his movements even more.
However, Garon, who noticed that Roger had woken up, raised his eyebrows at Roger, and then relaxed his body, and the muscles that were expanding up and down his body immediately relaxed, and the rope that was originally tight on his body suddenly became much looser, at least Garon could already move his hands and feet. Although it is not possible to break the rope directly. But with some time, Garon was able to break free from the special rope.
Don't look at Garon's burly figure, you think that he is a simple-minded character with developed limbs, in fact, Garon is definitely a model of great wisdom and foolishness, and he has the most ghost ideas among his friends.
Of course, the fact that he was able to do this scene now is also related to the lack of "professionalism" in the binding skills of those degenerates.
And Anne was also in the same corner with Mum and Elsa, and to Roger's little luck, Mum was also wearing thick hemp rope like him. With Mom's strength, with a little time, he should be able to break free from this rope.
Sensing that the two guards should have left, Mumu also opened her eyes, and after glancing at Roger, she slowly sat up. However, Mum did not choose to rely on brute force to break free from the rope directly, but leaned against the wall and began to sharpen the hemp rope on his hand with the help of a small stone. Aisha, who was close to Mom, winked at Roger, and then with a flip of her wrist, a sharp knife suddenly appeared in her hand, and then she began to cut the rope slowly. And Anne, who had the least strength, didn't care about breaking free from the rope at all, but kept comforting Locke and the others who were crying in a low voice.
What made Roger a little speechless was that although Anne didn't have a little magic power, she was still able to quietly appease Locke and the others with her spiritual power.
After a long time, I can't do anything?
Roger rolled his eyes speechlessly, but he quickly figured out what to do. Although all kinds of small props on his body have been searched, but. The space bar that comes with the system is absolutely impossible for others to search!
As soon as his mind moved, a knife appeared in Roger's hand tied behind him, and then he slowly cut the rope. It's not that there are no other props in the space bar, but Roger, whose hands and feet are tied, can't use tools like scissors at all, so he can only honestly cut the rope little by little.
While cutting, Roger pondered the identities of these degenerates.
In fact. Ever since he met the high-ranking devil, Roger knew that these half-elf druids had been tempted by the devil and had fallen. And the words "children" and "rituals" in the mouths of the previous caretaker also reminded Roger of the various evil rituals of the demons.
For the devil, the pure soul of a child is the most delicious delicacy, and the sacrifice of young children of various races can often attract the attention of many powerful devil nobles. So the degenerate, the evil worshippers often try to get a lot of children to sacrifice to.
There were once degenerates with fast brains who chose to set up orphanages to acquire a large number of children. Once the war broke out, there were so many orphans who lost their parents that the degenerate who initially established the orphanage soon acquired a large number of orphans.
However, under the investigation of the Church of the Gods, these orphanages with improper origins were soon banned. Now to build an orphanage, it needs to be "certified" by the Church of the Gods.
Moreover, the purity of the hearts of the children of the human race, whose minds are becoming more and more complex, is naturally not as pure as that of the elven children who are famous for their "innocence". The soul of the elven child has always been second only to the immaculate soul of the Terran Holy Maiden and the Holy Son in the allure of the devil.
However, in the territory of the elves, the protection of the elves for the underage elves has been heard of throughout the continent. After all. The children of the elven race, who are a long-lived race, have a long lifespan. So the development of the mind is also unusually slow.
Now, the rumor of "a cannibal demon who abducts children with candy" is indeed true among the human race. But now that the children of the human race know not to touch the candy given by strangers, many elf children are still little fools who can be abducted smoothly with a candy.
Of course, the premise for this is that you must be able to infiltrate the elven realm through the elven defenses. Then, after successfully abducting the elven children with candy, they have to take a child to cross the elven clan's defenses again.
The odds of success are almost as good as the odds of pie in the sky.
There is no way to obtain elven children, so half-elves or Terran children living in elven territory will naturally come into the sight of the fallen. Compared to the soul of an elf child, the soul of a half-elf child is a little worse in quality. But you can win by quantity! This is the reason why the half-elf children are repeatedly robbed.
Terran children, on the other hand, are more likely to succeed because they are not valued by elves and half-elves.
The Fallen have been watching children of all races for a long time, and this is by no means a problem that Roger can solve. However, what really made Roger's heart flutter was that this time it was actually a group of half-elf druids who fell!
That's a big joke, isn't it?
"The purity of the heart of the half-elves has always been second only to the elves. Even if these half-elves had suffered some injustice when they were young, it would not have been possible to fall so much in one go! There must be something wrong with this! Thinking of this, Roger couldn't help frowning.
Although the half-elves were ostracized by the elves, the druids who believed in the way of nature were never racially discriminatory, so both half-elves and Terran children were well cared for in the druids' villages.
The druids were good at cultivating plants and were never short of food. Eating fruits and vegetables all day may be a bit light for the Terrans, but for the Half-Elves, being vegetarian is definitely not an unacceptable problem for them.
Hawke likes to be a vegetarian, although he doesn't reject Roger's meat.
If you are not an orphan, a half-elf with a family to take care of you will definitely not have any serious psychological problems. If it is an orphan who can be fed and clothed, the half-elf orphan will not have much resentment.
So, the origins of these half-elf druid degenerates are a bit odd. It is not without half-elves who have fallen due to grudges, and half-elf druids who have believed in the way of nature are even more of a minority......
"Wait! Faith? Sect? ”
Thinking that the "Six Elders" in the mouths of the guards should be the high-level devil who attacked him and Garon, but the guards did not have any good feelings for the demons at all, Roger's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he immediately figured out everything.
"Should this be called hiding from the world, or stealing the day, or transferring flowers and trees?" Roger smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's really a good method...... He actually distorted the teachings of the druids and established a wicked druid sect! ”
Druidism was originally a primitive religion, and the beliefs were originally somewhat confused. Some druids believed in the goddess of nature, and Roger was barely one. Some druids believe in the pure way of nature, and the Great Elder is a druid who believes in the way of nature. The druids who believe in the way of nature are divided into many sects due to their different understanding of nature, and the natural transformation technique can be divided into two factions, such as whether it is a bear or a wolf.
Thinking of this, Roger soon understood that the devils played a small trick, which was nothing more than borrowing chickens to lay eggs or doves to occupy the magpie's nest. As long as the devils disguise themselves as the leaders of a druid sect and change their doctrines, they can subtly cause the druids of an entire sect to gradually degenerate.
Although the name of this Druid sect is not known, it is certain that Roger is definitely a Druid sect that worships wild and primitive in the first place, and it will be easily twisted by the devils into the current evil sect.
"Wait a minute, if the top of this Druid sect are all devils." Roger's eyes began to flicker, and even the movement of cutting the rope in his hand stopped: "The six elders who attacked us are all high-level devils, so how strong will the Pope, or the Pope of this sect, be?" Top, or legendary? ”
Seeing that Garon and the others, who had already broken free from the ropes, were about to untie the others, Roger hurriedly said: "Untie the people with combat ability first!" Our enemies are unusually strong! ”
Garon and the others were stunned for a moment, and then began to loosen the restraints from those who were older. But before they could untie everyone's ropes, the guards returned, having had eaten their lunch.
Hearing the sound of footsteps from far and near, Garon and the others suddenly returned to their original positions, and the people who had been loosened quickly lay down, and they were all pretending to be unconscious.
They are all from druid villages, and they have more or less learned some combat skills, such as camouflage, and ranger life-saving skills such as camouflage are compulsory, and everyone pretends to be presentable.
At least Roger himself couldn't see any flaws.
However, looking at the two guards who pushed the door in, Roger's face was slightly bitter: he hadn't completely cut his rope yet. (To be continued.) )
