CHAPTER XXVIII
The white light rose from the hill to the cathedral at the top of the hill, and even in this sunny time, it still could not stop the shining light of the holy light - the believers who chanted "God Said" in a loud voice went to the top of the mountain in an orderly manner; One step at a time, the devotion is incomparable; After learning the "fact" that the pilgrims are going to heaven, these believers, who have lived in the sacred forest since childhood, have exploded into unimaginable fanaticism, and basically continue to carry out the "pilgrimage" without sleep.
And in such a situation, the youngest and most fanatical believers have poured into the 'Kingdom of God'; and every time such a situation occurs, it will be accompanied by a burst of whispering, already envious eyes--the transparent soul flies to the top of the mountain, shrouded in holy light, faintly revealing the 'kingdom of heaven' that surrounds the world; The place where eternal life can be attained - the 'Kingdom of Heaven'!
The highest place in the Sacred Grove area, on the bell tower in front of the cathedral.
Yeta, dressed in an ordinary black robe, stood here, one hand resting on the railing in front of him, looking down at everything in front of him with his head bowed slightly, his eyes were neither benevolent nor cold, and there was no smugness after success, only a faint calm—the head of the Inquisition did not boast about his masterpiece, and in his opinion, everything in front of him was just an ordinary thing for the god in which he believed; Such a thing is something that every believer has to accomplish, and what can he boast about?
Stomp ......
Clear footsteps rubbing against armor. Tall and muscular, with a white full body armor. Even the cape is the head of the Holy Knights in white. He walked straight up to the bell tower—compared to Iyeta's calmness, Tozan, the respected head of the Holy Knights, had a deep anger on his face.
"What do you do to these innocent believers?"
Tozan pointed to the crowd on the white-glowing staircase below, and loudly questioned the person in front of him.
"God's people!"
A very crisp answer came from Iyeta's mouth; And in the face of the angry shouts and questions of the head of the Holy Knights, the expression of the head of the Inquisition still did not change at all—looking at the calm expression like a lake, Tozan's fists clenched and made a 'quack, quack' sound.
"God will not murder His people!"
An extremely suppressed cry burst straight out of the chest of the head of the Holy Knights, and at the same time. The leader of the Holy Knights even waved his fist-
Call!
In a suppressed whistling sound, the fist with hand armor stayed on the side of Iyeta's cheek, less than a centimeter away from the actual touch—Iyeta's white hair and clothes were pressed to the side in this fist wind, especially the black robe, which was constantly hunting in the fist wind.
"Are you counting this as a gram?"
Faced with an oppressive punch, Iyeta finally turned around, and he frowned slightly as he looked at the huge fist wrapped in iron armor in front of him—the hand on the railing was raised and placed on the fist in front of him. Gently pushed it away; It's like drinking black tea and putting the cup on the plate. Relaxed and cozy.
"The principle of a knight is to protect the lord of allegiance! Tozan, have you forgotten your vow? ”
"My oath is not you! It's Peter. Master Paul! If you don't stop doing this, I'm going to cut off your head, even if I disobey Paul's commands! The oath that came out of Iyeta's mouth grew the fury of the head of the Holy Knights; Raising the hand that had just been pushed away, and pointing at the other with his finger outstretched, the head of the Holy Knights issued his own warning—and in the face of such a warning, Iyeta couldn't help but frown and whispered to herself.
"Sure enough, it's the following gram!"
As soon as the whispered words fell, Iyeta's figure disappeared in front of the head of the Holy Knights, and when this figure reappeared, it was already walking on the stairs leading to the bottom of the bell tower - as if the head of the Holy Knights did not exist, and he left without even looking back.
Click......
With the unique crisp sound of metal, the armor of the head of the Holy Knights began to spread from his chest, like a spider's web, and when the spider-web-like cracks reached the hardness that the metal armor could withstand, the entire armor instantly shattered; And along with it was also shattered Tozan's body - one by one, one by one, blood marks appeared out of thin air on the body praised by the knights of the Holy Order of the Holy See, and the blood was accompanied by the sound of bones shattering, and Tozan fell to the ground on one knee like this.
Hum!
A muffled grunt of pain came from Tozan's nostrils—the kneecaps were shattered, and the head of the Holy Knights, who knew his body well, knew his own change for the first moment; And this change is getting more and more intense, and he knows very well that if this continues, within a minute, his whole body bones will be the same as his already shattered kneecaps!
Damn it!
A green aura, filled with the breath of the wind, appeared around the head of the Holy Knights, but it had no effect—no matter how hard he tried, he could not prevent the change from worsening; And as if half-stimulated by the breath of the wind, the change that made the head of the Holy Knights helpless spread like a poisonous snake towards his heart; The speed was very fast, and even reached the point where this existence, who was famous among the Sun-level powerhouses, couldn't react and was helpless.
Alas!
Just as the head of the Holy Knights closed his eyes and waited for death, a sigh appeared in his ears; Immediately after, a soft white light enveloped the entire body of the leader of the Holy Knights, and in an instant, all the scars disappeared, and the broken kneecaps became intact in the next moment.
Your Majesty!
After sensing the changes in his body, the head of the Holy Knights immediately knelt on one knee again and shouted in his heart.
Come back!
Iyeta. It's not something you can stop!
Face the voice of the heart. The head of the Holy Knights hesitated for a moment. suppressed the doubts in his heart, and finally nodded.
Yes, Your Majesty!
……
Hmph, that's eventful!
The head of the Inquisition, who had already walked down the bell tower, looked back consciously; The next moment, however, he snorted coldly and walked on—a terrifying place in the dark depths of the earth compared to the cathedral, which was so radiant that one admired at first sight; Not even the brightest light can dispel the darkness here. No amount of strong wind can blow away the bloodshed here.
The only things that could be brought were the 'rattling' shackles and the torture knives that had long since become dark red.
On the black seat, Iyeta closed her eyes slightly, her fingers rhythmically tapping on the armrests of the chair; In front of him, the priest with the knife who had just reported the news was standing there in a panic and did not dare to come out - he naturally could not read the letter directly handed over by the presiding judge to the lord in front of him, but judging from the expression of the lord in front of him, he already knew that the letter was definitely not good news.
In the rhythmic beating of 'da-da-da', time passed minute by minute. The priest with the knife had been in the same position as he had been here, even if his neck ached. I don't dare to change in the slightest; And in the midst of such changes, the adult in front of him finally spoke-
"Tell Chester that he doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the Thousand Ponds; Take the rest of your men back to the Sacred Forest! ”
"Yes, sir!"
The priest with the sword, who bowed in reply, did not immediately retreat, but still stood respectfully in front of the lord—as the herald, he knew well the habits of the lord before him; Zhilu said that the words of this adult were not finished; Sure enough, after a moment's pause, the voice came again.
"Go to the Holy Prison and bring me the warden there!"
"Yes, sir!"
The priest with the sword, who stood respectfully in place, immediately trembled uncontrollably when he heard the word 'holy prison', and even his answer was accompanied by a hint of trilling—however, the priest with the sword, who immediately realized that something was wrong, immediately buried his head deeper, and the faux pas in front of this lord was a great disrespect; He did not dare to ask for forgiveness.
"After bringing the man, go and receive the punishment yourself!"
"Thank you, Lord forgiveness!"
The priest with the sword, bowing down, took two steps back, and disappeared completely into the darkness; Iyeta was left alone in her chair, muttering in a low voice—
"Ye Qi, the dragon of Shak...... John, Ward, is this your sustenance? It's surprisingly simple, and the battle between us has just begun! ”
The soft, low sound goes from clear to inaudible until it fades into obscurity.
……
Behind the desk of the Tower of the Moonlit Night, Hessel, who temporarily manages the entire Demon Hunter Guild, is holding an urgent letter that has just arrived; Looking at the letter signed by his old friend, the tower owner of the Moonlit Night Tower couldn't help but cover his forehead and let out a long moan.
"I knew that Ye Qi's kid was just as troublesome as his teacher! What a headache this time! ”
Hawke, who was dressed in the windbreaker of the Moonlight Apostle, couldn't help but push his eyes on the bridge of his nose after hearing Hessel's moan, bringing up a reflection, and said, "What Your Excellency Ye Qi did is not wrong; Replace any one of them, and they will make the same choice; Please seriously proceed with how to deal with the possible retaliation of the Holy See, and find out why the Holy See has returned to the Sennuma District again! ”
"Know, know, Hawke!"
Looking at the meticulous subordinates in front of him, Hessel couldn't help but smile wryly - after Ted followed his old friend to the Sennuma District, he had to reassign a few witchers who could cooperate with his daily work; However, in the case of most people vaguely resigning and taking sick leave, the candidates who can be assigned are very limited; In fact, with the exception of Hawke and another mild-mannered Teddy, all the assigned people excused themselves for various reasons; Especially the situation of taking sick leave, which made a benevolent person like Hessel angry.
They are all the existence of moonlight-level apostles, is it possible that they will be knocked down by a cold?
Still, even when Hessel was furious, the gang remained the same. The lazy nest does not appear in his own dwelling; Or simply in the name of 'visiting friends'. vanished without a trace; And eventually. The only ones who could help Hessel were Hawke and Teddy; Among them, although the latter has a gentle personality and will not refuse people, it is really difficult to be complimented in handling official duties, and it is basically very difficult to assign important tasks except for managing this new probationary apostle.
Therefore, the one who can help Hersel is in the entire central castle. Hawke was the only one - but, fortunately, unlike the former, Hawke was not only capable, but also thoughtful, and handled everything meticulously, which is completely reassuring; But such a hawk is not without drawbacks.
Hawk, who demands his own requirements as precisely as a machine, is also the same for others; And whoever it is, he does everything in his business, without any compromises; It's like now—
"If you don't like me in any way, please tell me the truth. I'll make that right! Looking at Hessel's wry smile, Hawke said bluntly, "But." Until then, take what is in front of you seriously! ”
"What a, Hawke!"
In the face of such exhortation, Hessel had to restrain the wry smile on his face, and looked at the letters passed by his old friend very seriously—of course, at this moment, he missed Ted's junior who was also good at doing things, and knew how to respect the old and love the young.
"Hawke, what do you think about this?"
After reading the letter sent by his old friend urgently, Hessel handed it directly to the 'young man' in front of him, asking for the other party's opinion - unlike Ted's exercise, in the face of Hawk in front of him, Hessel, the oldest man in the witcher's headquarters, sincerely asked the other party's opinion; After all, in just a few days, apart from the somewhat unacceptable seriousness of the other party, Herssel was very satisfied with the rest; In particular, the opinions and ideas about some things made him nod his head.
In Hesser's own words, 'the minds of young people are always better than those of old people'—and as for Hessel's intention to rest a little longer, or to rest a little longer, only he knows.
"Re-search everything that is 'left behind' of the Holy See! And, send more people to Sennuma District again! Habitually nudging his glasses, Hawke said with great confidence: "If the one in the Holy See wants to go to the Thousand Swamps District for something, it is only a failure that will not make him give up; The opponent will soon send out the next wave of manpower! Moreover, with the approach of the priest with a knife that His Excellency Ye Qi happened to meet, the other party did not want to attack at first, but wanted to take advantage of it! But after this time, with that person's character, he will definitely send even more powerful people to deal with His Excellency Ye Qi in the Thousand Numa District! ”
"If Lord Leafy, Master Blank, and Xhaka are all counted, the strength of the men sent next time can be imagined; So please speed up and send reinforcements accordingly! ”
"Well, I'll get those 'leave' guys out in a moment, and they'll be more than happy with this task!" Faced with Hawke's analysis, Hessel nodded, and then muttered: "Pednange has stayed at home until now, and Pednange can't go to the Tower of Thorns to guard it; Then only Jemond is left! If he had led it, those guys would definitely have been able to complete the support mission in the Sennuma District safely. ”
"If it's Lord Jemond, then this support mission will be completed smoothly! Towerguards with your Towers and Towers of Athletic Protection, unless that one will do it himself, there will be no problem! Hessel's proposal made Hawke very much agree, and his voice calmly analyzed: "But we must guard against the sound of that man; After all, judging from His Excellency Ye Qi's description, the other party had such an calculation from the beginning; Although there are a different group of people, if the time is right, I think that person will not mind causing us more trouble! ”
"What exactly is his goal?"
In a voice full of doubts, Hessel stood up, walked to the bookshelf beside him, and took a long cylindrical box from the top of the shelf; Twisting the lid of the box straight, he pulled out a well-marked map of the Thousand Numa District - this map that has gone through the efforts of countless people is undoubtedly the most detailed description of the Thousand Numa District in the hands of the witcher; The level of detail is incomparable to that of the outstanding guides of the locals of Sennuma Ward.
Hessel threw the entire map on his desk, staring at the map in front of him, frowning and thinking; Hawke, who was standing on the sidelines, just glanced at it and looked away from the map; Such a move naturally attracted Hersel's attention, and he asked curiously, "Hawke, have you already found the other party's target?" ”
"Nope! In the absence of any clues, it is impossible to find it by searching out of thin air! So, you shouldn't focus on such a fruitless search! Hawke said truthfully; And Hessel, who had already guessed what the other party wanted to say, couldn't help frowning, looked at Hawke with a little embarrassment and asked, "Then what do you mean......"
"Well, please go and ask Lord Pednange!"
