An hour and a half before dawn, Ye Qi sat on Groning's back, suspended in the air, Groning, who had hidden the flames all over his body, was like a black elf under Ye Qi's comfort, quietly bathing in the hazy moonlight, without a trace of sound; Below, as far as the eye can see, the black-clad deacons belonging to the Holy See's Inquisition are busy—

Bodies hanging from crosses or the seriously wounded and the dead were gathered together, and the firewood began to pile up underneath, and the flames carried billowing black smoke, engulfing the local inhabitants, and there was no wailing, only the groans or almost inaudible curses of the bodies as the flesh and bones were deformed under the flames—for the corpses or the seriously injured and the dead, this was already the greatest expression of their dissatisfaction and resentment.

Wrapped in a rich and foul smell of smoke, it rose leisurely, making the already hazy moonlight completely gray; Ye Qi sat on Groning's back, looking at the three oversized burners erected below, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes widened - after learning that the area without a forest had lost contact, he understood what would happen to the inhabitants there, after all, for the people of the Holy See, especially those from the Inquisition, there were only two kinds of people in their eyes, believers and heretics; The former needs to be punished with piety in the corresponding rules, while the latter must be eliminated by all kinds of ruthless means.

There is no such thing as mercy or mercy, and for heretics, there is no need to blame themselves for any means, it is the right of 'God' - after tearing off the mask of hypocrisy, man himself is more terrible than any existence, especially after having another name of 'pointing directly to the heart', they will have no scruples.

It's like now. Three giant burns at the stake. The number of corpses piled up or seriously injured and killed exceeded 500 – almost more than half of the population in unforested areas; No forest area. It is a small place that only relies on the Spring Forest District, the Summer Forest District and the Holy Forest District, and there is only one town: Machinery Town; Therefore, if you are serious, it is surrounded by three large regions, and it is connected to each place, and it belongs to the location of a transportation hub.

The reason why it is a transportation hub, not a fortress fortress, is because of the fact that the three sides of Lorant have compromised their greatest forces—in fact. About 600 years ago, some time after the end of the Dark Ages, there was a castle here: Fort Tika; But with the passage of time, the fall of the royal power and the rise of the divine power, Tika Fort has long since moved out of here, and is located three hundred kilometers south of its original position.

Later, with the emergence of the supreme government, this Tika Fort, which was still nominally a forest-free area, was also included in the Xialin District; Other words. A flat river, a wide forest-free area with a view of the three major regions, is simply a place where there is no danger to defend - but in fact. Even if a castle fortress was given to the woodless area, they would not be able to hold it; The vast majority of the people who live in the woodless area are people who like machinery or have fanatical ideas about mechanical transformation, they hate war, they hate fighting, and basically have no good feelings about the three major forces, especially the Holy See.

After all, in that era of ignorance, the stake set up by the Holy See was not only burned to death by witches, dark wizards and dark creatures, but also some existences who were interested in machinery, and even mechanical pioneers themselves, were also burned at the stake as heretics.

Of course, if you insist on saying that there is a difference, then half of the people have escaped - because, their own sensitivity and cultivation of machinery, the engineers of the machinery town in the forest-free area are very popular with the highest government, and many people will be happy to go under the high salary; Even, there are people in Mechanic Town in Shak.

Of course, it's more because of Decath. Colt, the master of the Machine Town, is there for the sake of inquiry and learning, and the people of the Machine Town always have such good habits; And no matter what the reason is, these people escaped with their lives in this war, but I don't know what kind of expressions they will have when they learn that their hometown has been ruined, and their relatives and friends have been killed......

"Groening, do you know the truth? My teacher once told me that there is nothing wrong with being ordinary; And for quite a long time, I also thought so, ordinary, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, receiving a salary that can make ends meet every month, bragging and drinking with friends in bars on weekends, in general, it is very pleasant! ”

Ye Qi patted Groning's neck, raised his head and looked at the moon that was getting hazy in the smoke, and said in a voice that was slowly like a memory.

"However, when I opened my eyes in this world, that hideous scene told me that if I want to die, I should go on ordinary! Before you know it, closing your eyes is leaving forever, which is the price of ordinariness, and you can't make your decisions; So, I want to be strong, at least to be able to control my own life and death, and at worst, I can run away in times of danger, or run a little faster than others! ”

"Actually, I have been a very timid person since I was a child, I remember once, when I went to smash the window of someone else's house, my legs trembled before I could do it, and my palms were sweaty, and after I smashed it hard, I was scared and said it clearly, and then, the teacher scolded him, and went home and was beaten again; Seriously, that belt made me hurt! ”

Gronny twisted his neck, his big black eyes, full of doubts - although he had good intelligence, Groening at the moment obviously couldn't understand what his master was saying; After all, in its heart, whoever dares to pump it with a belt, except for its own owner, will burn the other party to ashes.

Looking at his mount's incomprehensible eyes, Ye Qi smiled slightly, touched the mane on the other party's forehead, and did not stop, and continued: "But after the beating, I didn't have other awkward thoughts in my heart - yes, I smashed someone's glass, and then, I was scolded and beaten again; This is a fairly fair equivalent exchange, there is nothing bad, at most, I was nervous in the early stage and did not take more of the initiative; And afterwards, everyone met and still smiled. Although hypocrisy is extreme. But. At least we're all alive! ”

"It's not like them, death, can't rest in peace!"

Ye Qi stretched out his hand and pointed that not far from the stake rack, an altar that had been built was slowly lighting up - this was a magic array based on divine magic [Purifying Evil], and according to the Holy See, it was naturally an altar of divine art; Its main function is to break down negative energy. The most basic structure of the soul is negative energy.

"Their death is a give, and they must reap; They are no longer able to enforce this right on their own, and I think we should help them; What do you think, Groening? ”

Ye Qi looked at the night sky above his head again, his expression was cold, but there was a scorching heat in his heart, burning like fire - as a demon hunter, Ye Qi had not seen life and death. Even the people he slaughtered, the creatures of darkness, were unknown; But in the face of the sight of civilians being slaughtered. But it's the first time.

And, the first time, it's often the same shock.

As a fairly qualified, and even a good witcher at some times, Ye Qi couldn't imagine how to kill an unarmed and weak civilian - even a misunderstood witcher could run and laugh when faced with Rotten Tomatoes thrown at him, and he didn't care about such behavior at all, unless it was some malicious existence; And the mechanical town in the forest-free area, to put it mildly, perhaps because of the study of all kinds of machinery, they will become indifferent, stereotyped, and everything is based on data, but it is completely harmless people.

Even, Ye Qi can imagine that when facing the army of the Holy See, these people in the woodless area must have continued to study what was going on outside the window with no ears in their ears, until the other party broke in, they did not react, but only questioned the other party; Then, ushered in the last moment of their lives-

If you have the ability to be armed into a lion, then you must act like a lion, otherwise you will still be killed as a sheep! ’

The original Dicks. Master Colt, when guiding him to transform his firearm, the words he occasionally said suddenly appeared in Ye Qi's heart, and then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly - a smile that could not be said to be a feeling or indifferent appeared on his face, two wisps of flames appeared out of thin air, rotating around Ye Qi's raised palm, just a breath, a fireball with a diameter of one foot appeared on Ye Qi's palm out of thin air, rotating at high speed, and the fireball became bigger and bigger.

"Oh, Groening, you're going to get involved, too?"

Looking at the [Fireball Technique] that was different from the past, Ye Qi glanced at the triumphant mount in front of him, and then threw down the fireball in his hand.

Ye Qi sat on Groning's back, floating in the air at a height of about a hundred yards, and the fireball that came out of his hand was more than a foot in diameter at first, less than two feet, but as it passed a distance of about a hundred yards, the diameter of this fireball had reached thirty feet, the heat wave rolled, and the night sky suddenly brightened, like the oppressive feeling of the sun falling, which made the black-clothed deacons below cry out.

In fact, when the fireball flew out of Ye Qi's hand and fell, reaching a diameter of five feet, the black-clothed deacon below had already noticed it, and the brilliance of the latter divine magic blocked the path of the fireball in this way, but no matter what kind of divine magic it was, in front of this fireball, it was useless, and it couldn't even block it slightly; At most, it was the moonlight that made the night sky a little brighter.

Under the scorching oppression, the black-clad deacons gave up their original attack and began to flee in all directions—they obviously understood that if they stopped, they were only mantis arms blocking the car; Each of the black-clothed deacons was not shy about their escape, because in "God Says", their "god" had told them that in the face of greater danger, they could only overcome it if they were prepared.

They are preparing now, how can they be said to be fleeing?

Apparently, though, they underestimated the power of this huge fireball—

Rumble!

As the earth trembled within a radius of ten kilometers, a huge fireball smashed straight to the ground, and waves of flames rose up and surged around, and the black-clothed deacons who were fleeing were engulfed in flames without even screaming; In the farther distance, the scorching heat distorted the space, and the original flowers and trees turned yellow, withered, and distorted in this high temperature, and then spontaneously combusted without fire with a 'whew'.

Flames burned on the trees, making them seem to turn into large torches, illuminating the surrounding ground. At the same time, it is printed with the dark night sky - the hazy moonlight in the sky. A blazing fire sneering on the ground. In the interweaving of gray, white and red, a man and a horse are clearly revealed.

The muscles are distinct, strong, and the black mane flutters down, and the sound of the nose from time to time makes people tremble, as if they have seen a fierce beast galloping among the mountains; And on the back of such a being. But there was a figure sitting upright; The black trench coat, in the upside-down heat wave, hunting, and blurred faces, exuded a biting chill, which made the black-clothed deacons who were in a commotion caused by the explosion subconsciously tremble.

"Sinner, you know ...... way"

A priest with a knife shouted and asked Ye Qi, but before he could finish speaking, Groning was a loud nose; Then. The fire that was still burning on the ground seemed to come to life. devoured the priest with the sword; Not only this priest with a sword, but also the rest of those who belonged to the Holy See entered the rhythm of being chased by the flames, and the victor was naturally the flames.

The screams and wails that sounded in his ears did not make Ye Qi look out of the ordinary, but he looked at his mount in a little surprise, as if it was the first time he knew his mount, and in the face of his master's gaze, Groning raised his horse's head high, and his proud appearance was simply beyond words.

Great control over flames, and even more ability to gather flames!

Ye Qi commented on his mount very considerably - different from the domineering of the Sun Fire after the [Yang Yan] was triggered, but the flames in front of him had unimaginable devouring power, especially with the support of flesh and blood, it was almost like a spark burning the prairie and out of control.

Is the ability of a nightmare born from the battlefield also applicable to the battlefield?

Thinking of such a question, Ye Qi subconsciously patted the neck of his mount, and this intimate action made Groni even more proud, and when its four hooves danced, it rushed to a low altitude, and then made an obvious inhalation movement, and immediately the flames below were stunned, as if time had stopped, frozen, motionless.

Call!

When the inhalation action was completed and the exhalation action began, the original flames were like pouring gasoline on them, and they sprang up more than a dozen feet, and the speed of chasing the remaining personnel of the Holy See was also several times faster; As for power? Previously, the clergy of the Holy See were able to let out a scream and wail to indicate the loss of their lives, but now they are silent.

The flames were scorching, everything in the world was turned into ashes, whether it was happiness or sorrow in life, or unwilling to hate, all turned into dust, and in the soul-Ye Qi's [Blind Fighting Perception], those fluctuations with the aura of holy light disappeared very completely, without any remnant, just like what these people had done before, Ye Qi completely returned it to them.

Turning over and dismounting, Ye Qi walked towards the three burned stakes that had already been extinguished on foot, and kept this place in a big circle, without any flames from the outside world, and directly gave Ye Qi a way - Groening may not be able to understand the deepest feelings of his master, but he is still clear about what his master wants to do, at least, it knows that the corpses here are not suitable for 'fuel', even if these 'fuel's are fundamentally different from Groening's opinion Fuel's no difference.

Boom!

The unsheath of the Enma Sword was like a thunderbolt flashing, and even in the midst of this blazing flame, it was unusually bright and bright, and it was too bright to look at; Flipping his wrist, the sword rushed down, and the blade of the Enma knife sank straight into the dirt on the ground—hum, buzzing from the countless tremors of the blade, the dirt on the ground flew up as the blade was pulled out, and a deep pit just enough to submerge so many corpses appeared there.

Whoa......

The dirt fell from mid-air, mixed with some rubble, and fell straight into the pit, drowning the corpses that should not have existed.

There was no tombstone, only a huge grave bag bulging there, Ye Qi stood here silently for about a few seconds, then he had to reach out and put it in his inner pocket, and took out the unbearable 'wizard's crown', and the blood-colored crystals were grabbed by Ye Qi as soon as they appeared.

"There are things that can be eaten, and there are things that cannot be eaten! However, there will soon be a myriad of things to eat......"

Ye Qi felt the restlessness of the 'Wizard Crown', and couldn't help but turn around and walk towards Groening, who was breathing fire everywhere - the charred corpse of the Chaos Fire could not attract the attention of the 'Wizard Crown', and the transformed body could not attract the favor of the 'Wizard Crown', and among those innocent dead civilians, although there was still a lot of blood left, compared to the first two, even if the latter aroused the desire of the 'Wizard Crown', Ye Qi would not allow it.

It's not hypocrisy, it's just the bottom line.

Luckily, from the moment he decided to do so, corpses with blood would appear in an endless stream.

"Dreams, nightmares!"

In front of Groening was an ascetic, his white linen robe was already tattered and scorched, and the holy fire that rose from his body was also retreating in the seemingly ordinary flames, and the ascetic's face was full of despair—exactly the same look on the faces of the heretics when he ordered the slaughter of the infidels, except that his heart was full of holiness and pleasure, but now he was terrified.

Especially when I saw the 'horse' on the other side, and the sharp eyes flashed with a thick playful abuse, this panic reached a limit - death, sometimes it is not terrible; What is terrible is the death of a cat playing with a mouse; After all the torture, death is a relief.

There are many ways to torture people, and there are countless kinds of torture, but it is the creatures that are targeted by the legendary nightmare that can understand what despair is all about—a never-ending nightmare, like endless torture, not dead, but better than dead.

The ascetic obviously thought of this, and he definitely didn't want to face such a scene - because, according to that legend, after being hunted by the nightmare, he didn't even have a chance to go to the kingdom of God, but could only struggle in the purgatory constructed by the nightmare until the moment when the nightmare died.

However, such moments are basically endless - because no one has ever known the lifespan of a nightmare.

The evil spirits of the battlefield, as long as there is war, they are immortal.

Groening looked at the despair of the 'fuel' in front of him, savoring the fear on the other party's body, it was unusually comfortable, if it didn't sense that its master was thinking about coming by itself, it would probably taste this taste comfortably, but since the master came, although he was reluctant, the game should still be over.

With the movement of Groening's mind, the flames burning on the other party's body immediately became several times more violent, and the holy flames that seemed to be able to compete with the flames before were swallowed up in an instant.

"Wait!"

Ye Qi's voice then came out, and Groning was stunned, looking at his master in confusion - although he was puzzled, the action did not continue, and the flames rose into the air, burrowing into Groening's two nostrils, just like the other flames around him.

"Sinner, You ......"

The ascetic who had escaped death was a little sluggish, and then, instinctively, he pointed at Ye Qi and shouted loudly; However, after a flash of sword light ended, the 'Wizard's Crown' leaped up in the blood splatter, and drank happily, and the cheerful rhythm even caused ripples on the entire crystal.

"That's not something to eat!

Standing in front of the 'Wizard's Crown', watching his mount open its mouth to bite the 'Wizard's Crown', Ye Qi patted the other party's forehead, and Groening immediately looked at his master aggrievedly - for Groening, whether he can eat it or not, as long as he has eaten it, he will know the way; It is a great loss to be beaten before you have eaten like this; In the past, at least it waited until it finished eating, and then it would be beaten.

"It's not the carpet, the table, the couch, the drinking glass that you used to bite and spit out...... If you eat it, you'll definitely get indigestion! ”

Ye Qi patted his mount again, with a hint of helplessness in his tone - this is not a scare, but a fact; Although Groning has the bloodline of a nightmare, this bloodline is only a trace, not a disembodied existence like a real nightmare, it has flesh and blood; And for the 'Wizard's Crown' who was burned with the "Blood Transformation Rune" at this moment, except for him, all flesh and blood existences are like natural enemies.

Of course, you have to come into contact with the other party's blood, otherwise, it's just a blood-colored crystal.
