Chapter 35: People
The fire was ignited, and people stood outside the walled city silently watching the flesh and blood consumed by the fire.
"Let's go, let's go, I've been working for so many days, and I can finally rest for a while. An exorcist walked down the hill with three swords on his back and the others in a circle.
"How can they ......" Boro looked angrily at these casual people, but it was their comrades and friends who died!
The president didn't say anything, staring at the moon in the sky, "Let's just find a random place to rest for a while tonight." It's almost dawn."
Just as the old man said, they had just set up their tents and took a nap when a fiery red sun rose on the horizon in the distance.
The morning birds chirped and chattered, probably forgetting the dark roar that preceded dawn.
The president did not sleep all night, but sat on the gravel and silently looked into the distance. Bright sunlight shone through the trees in his eyes.
"Uncle, haven't you slept?" asked Borro, who woke up and saw the president sitting alone on the mountainside.
"I'm not at a loss, why didn't I wake up so early and didn't have time to leave and return. The president smiled kindly at Boro.
"I'm used to it, and every time the sun comes out, I wake up with it. Boro felt a little hungry, but there were bare trunks except for the pines. Do you eat birds? But I can't bear to kill.
"I'm hungry. The old man slipped down the hillside, took a piece of bread from his backpack and handed it to Boro.
"Then you're welcome. Boro took a big bite and began to chew in his mouth: "Uncle, the taste of your cake is exactly the same as Uncle Song's." ”
"Yes? You've eaten the old man's bread. ”
"The first time I saw Song Bo and Song Zhi, he met the winter ghost after he gave it. ”
"Could it be that the winter ghost was tempted by this cake, and it also wants to take a bite?" The chairman said half-jokingly, looking up at the horizon in the distance.
Cheng Yu and Xu Wei also woke up one after another, and finally Qingxi. They still remember what happened last night and they still hear the old man say that the fire burned until dawn. That is, it was completely extinguished not long before they woke up.
"Let's go, now that we've eliminated the Bloodseeker, it's time to return to lockdown. The old man picked up his greatsword from the campfire and carried it behind his back.
The five of them walked out of Qishan, and other exorcists followed suit, and the team reunited again, but many of them stayed here forever.
The return was a little faster than when I came, and it took only one day to reach the lockdown.
Back within the Exorcist Guild, the President paid them all the rewards they deserved, as he promised, and those who died in the mission. Their remuneration is fully friend, Cheng Yu, who is responsible for handing it directly into the hands of their families in the lockdown city.
"Big brother, your hand!" Xu Hong looked at his only backer in the lockdown in surprise, in his heart, the eldest brother has always been like a mountain. But why now...... Is it because of the Blood Fiend?
"Let the blood demon bite off. I am afraid that it will not be long before the President removes my title of Third Deacon. Xu Wei sighed, who can be blamed for this, but he can only blame himself for his bad luck.
"What about Cheng Yu?" Xu Hong asked curiously, "And what about Liu Wen?"
Xu Wei was not in the mood to answer the idiot brother's question here at this time, and directly pushed away the crowd and left the Exorcism Guild Square.
Xu Hong looked at Tang Qiang standing on the high platform, and his heart was also a little uneasy, if the position of the eldest brother was really dismissed, what would he do in the future? Who can cover himself.
"The Blood Demon has been destroyed, and although some sacrifices have been made, it has been bought for long-term safety. For the exorcists who died on this mission, I would like to express my condolences to them on behalf of the Lockdown Exorcism Guild. Without their sacrifices, perhaps we would not have been victorious at this time
I know some of you are saddened by the death of your friend, and so am I. Deacon Liu also died in this exorcism mission, and he has been with me for more than 30 years! Can ...... now This old friend is gone forever. ”
Liu Wen's death immediately provoked a strong reaction among the exorcists, who of course were not mourning him but privately discussing the matter of competing for the upper position.
Liu Wen died, and they were qualified to compete for the third deacon, and maybe the other two deacons also had irreparable injuries, and although they did not die, it was difficult to continue to serve as deacons.
"Some of you may have already begun to think about replacing Liu Wen as the new deacon of the lockdown city. But I now want to announce something in public before you. I already have a suitable candidate for Liu Wen's position. The president turned to look at Boro and asked him to stand up.
"Me?" Boro looked at the president in amazement: "Uncle, I never thought of being an exorcist, let alone a deacon. I'm going to find the white god. ”
"Who is that? Why have you never seen that?"
"No, isn't that the stupid boy who stood on the statue of the Demon King the other day and talked crazy? ”
Cheng Yu stood beside Boro, and he could naturally hear the voices of those exorcists talking. After all, even he didn't understand why the president had chosen him to be a deacon.
However, since it was the intention of the president, it was natural that he had a deep meaning and kicked Boro directly.
Qingxi hid to the side, watched the embarrassed Boro on the stage, and began to snicker.
"His name is Boro, and this time he killed the Blood Demon because of his merits. The president inexplicably deducted his record on Boro's head.
"How is he!" Xu Hong stood at the back of the crowd and saw the face of Boro standing on the stage. The one who made a fool of himself in public! He hasn't settled accounts with him, and now he has directly become a deacon on a par with his eldest brother?
"No! Xu Hong thought in his heart, and his eldest brother also said that he was likely to be removed from the position of deacon, and he would definitely be retaliated against by Boro at that time.
"It's better to ...... than someone to kill me. Xu Hong decided to do it tonight. He stared coldly at Boro for the last time, and secretly left the place.
"Don't, don't. I don't want to be a deacon, I'm going to go to the white god. It's not that Boro cares about the dissatisfaction of those below him, but that he really doesn't think about it.
"Chief, you said that he killed the Blood Demon, why don't I believe it? With his small body, I don't think the Blood Demon can take care of him without the Blood Demon doing anything. Someone in the audience shouted, and then many more exorcists began to echo him.
"What? Are you questioning the president? You want evidence, what evidence? Isn't the president's words the best evidence? Do you want to be a deacon and have the ability to challenge me?"
In the face of Cheng Yu, who was domineering at this time, the arrogance of the demons below was really suppressed.
"Challenge is a challenge! With your half-crippled body, how much strength can you have?"
