One Thousand Forty-Two: The Darkmoon Killer and Tasmi's Path
"Light of the Dark Moon?
Tasmi was stunned by the name, and the fact that his companion was still in danger was almost forgotten.
Compared to the name "Dark Moon Light", the name "Dark Moon Killer" is even louder. Tasmi had just left the mountain village and had heard about it when they were in the kingdom of Gawain. Then through the kingdom of Kandas, the name continued to reach their ears with shocking deeds.
The Darkmoon Slayer only began to rise to prominence three years ago, initially operating in Kandas, and later expanding throughout the North. They specialized in assassinating nobles, officials, priests, and merchants, all in the middle of the night, in the dark of the night, rarely missing, and so far at least a hundred famous and powerful people have died at their hands.
It is rumored that they are powerful, all of them are heroes, and the people they assassinate are also brutal and unkind villains, and they have become the object of admiration of countless people in the north, especially adventurers like Tasmi.
No one knew who they really were, and no one even saw what they really looked like. So much so that when Tasmi came back to his senses, his first reaction was that they were lying, and there were too many people pretending to be the Darkmoon Killer.
"Don't believe me?"
The older short-haired woman said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter, you'll forget it anyway." ”
Before Tasmi could figure out what he meant, there was a sudden light outside, and there was a lot of noise, as if some terrible weapon had exploded in the town.
The light and flames flew wildly, and the wooden wall was beaten to the point of being fluffy and exploded, opening a hole the size of a person's head. The short-haired woman pushed Tasmi to the ground and scolded angrily: "I don't know if this is the shooting of the magic guide gun?
Tasmi was very aggrieved, he had indeed just come out of the mountains!
It's not like he's never seen a magic guide gun, how did he know that there would be such a dense shooting, as if everyone here had one.
The black-haired girl named Ankaret raised her arms, and the copper sheet that looked like a gauntlet stretched out, pulling out a faint transparent light curtain to block the three of them. Occasionally, a flame of light shot on the light curtain, and the copper sheet burst into a brilliant spark, the light curtain rippled, and the bullet rebounded weakly to the ground, making Tasmi's heartstrings oscillate.
What a terrible magician!
Even the bullets of the magic guide gun can be blocked!
"We took a job and came here to clean up the slave traders, and you were lucky enough to be saved by Ankaret," said the short-haired woman, "Your companion is hard to say, and we will see if the eldest sister has intercepted those people." ”
She said in a complex tone that mixed mockery and helplessness: "It seems that you really came out of the mountains, and if you don't know what has changed in the world, you ran to the Lion King City, and you are really bold." ”
"What kind of place is Lion King City? Red Devils are rampant! The Adventurers' Guild has been controlled by them, and the receptionist is still pretending to be a succubus, so we don't dare to enter and leave at will. ”
"From the lord of the city to the officials, they are all evildoers, and the outside of the city are all slave traders, who specialize in cleaning up you sheep from the north. This town is a slave camp, and the locals, old and young, are all in this business, and no one is innocent, you know?"
Tasmi listened to it with a chill in his heart, the Red Devil was talking about the people who believed in the Crimson Lady in the southern swamp. They are in collusion with the undead, demons, and demons, and are working for the scourge plane, and are now at war with the Dawning Empire.
Not only the Red Devil, but also the people of Lion King City are so evil, the southern world is really terrifying! Can you still find the fountain of life and complete the task of saving the village?
Then the heart burned again, Yusa and Leas!
The effects of hypnotism dissipated instantly, and he jumped up and rushed out the door, and the short-haired woman was staggered.
Then the crook of his leg was gently touched by someone, and the whole body slapped on the floor on all fours.
"Or Ankaret, you're quick to react......
The short-haired woman rubbed her arm and muttered, "This kid has so much strength, it's a bit unusual." ”
The black-haired girl withdrew her long legs and looked at the young man who was rolling on the ground with his face covered and screaming in pain, and a hint of discoloration flashed in her eyes.
After about half an hour, the town fell silent, and the townspeople either fell to the ground in a cannibalism or were scared away. Tasmi followed them through the bloody streets into a large barn.
The Dark Moon Killer is even more terrifying than rumored to be able to capture a small town......
Thinking so, the short-haired woman seemed to have telepathy, saw through his thoughts, and said with a low smile: "We don't have an army, but we can make an army attack......
She pulled up a piece of the floor in the barn and pushed Tasmi, "Go down, the slaves are all concentrated here, and your companions should be in there." ”
He pinched Tasmi's chin and made him look at him, "Remember my name is Leona, although you will definitely forget." Also, our eldest sister and the others are down there, so don't talk too much if you don't want to die. ”
Tasmi was about to say something, but he was kicked in the back and plunged into the basement.
The woman named Leona looked at the black-haired girl who had retracted her foot and sighed, "There's something wrong with you, Ankaret." ”
The girl said lightly: "He's about to collapse, let him get used to the pain, it's good for him." ”
This time Tasmi didn't hurt much, he fell on someone's body.
When I got up, it was a huge space, and the strange light that made a low noise illuminated the underneath, which also made the scarlet blood and the mutilated human body even more dazzling.
The smell of blood was so thick that Tasmi sneezed a few times involuntarily, and when he thought of something, he turned his head to look at it, and recoiled in fright.
It was a pile of mutilated corpses on which he had fallen.
In the distance, a woman's deep voice spoke: "These guys are not only selling slaves, but also doing organ business, I really underestimate the lower limit of these humanoid devils." ”
One man said, "The slave business further south is monopolized by other merchants, and the slaves who can't be sold happen to be organ harvesting." That kind of activator can even store the brain for months, and the organ replacement technology developed by the Red Demon can cure any disease, and it can also rejuvenate and rejuvenate, which is much more convenient than finding a wizard. ”
Tasmi's side was stunned, and a tall and burly man walked over with a kind tone: "Leona said something about you......"
He pointed to another place and said, "There are still living slaves over there, so you should look for them first." ”
Tasmi calmed down and shook his head, he had to make sure there were no of his companions in the corpses.
Dragged away the corpses of both men and women, mostly young adults, and saw a bodyless head with short green hair and twisted facial features, Tasmi sat weakly on the ground.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and Tasmi choked up: "No...... Leas ......"
Before the tears could fall to the ground, he jumped up again, and frantically searched for the corpses.
When he didn't find it, the boy rushed to look for the slave who was still alive but sluggish like a living corpse.
Is there any, and then he saw that among the people who were escorted by strange men and women, there was the old man who had accosted them at the beginning and had just taken Yusha away.
"Where's Yusa?"
"Where did you get Yusa!?"
He grabbed the old man by the collar and lifted the old man up directly, so strong that it was not commensurate with his thin body.
The men and women guarding the captives looked to the side, and the tall gray-haired woman in the corner with an eyepatch shook her head, presumably as a signal that there was no need to stop her.
"Is that a little girl......"
The old man seemed to be a drowning man grasping at the straw, and said hurriedly: "Only I know! Let them go!
The gray-haired woman stopped the others again, and crossed her arms with the tall man who had reminded Tasmi, waiting for him to respond with great interest.
With a bang, Tasmi slammed the old man's face with the hilt of his sword, and said coldly: "I'm from the mountains, I'm ignorant, but I'm not stupid!"
"Let you go, what kind of credibility do you have for taking organs from living people!?"
"I won't pin my hopes on others, so why should others help me?"
"I'll find the answer myself, it's on you! Say it! Die if you don't say it!"
The tip of the sword stopped at the center of the old man's brow, and the old man shouted like a pig, "I'll give it to the Syndica!
"I'm an agent!
"This is the Syndica's stronghold, we don't know the situation here, it's the first time I've been here!"
"If we knew that he was doing this to people and taking organs, how could we dare to cooperate with him...... Ah——!h
The bronze sword slashed down, cutting off one of his ears, and Tasmi said, "I'll look for it, and if I can't find it, I'll come back to you, so that I can recognize you from afar...... Hey!"
It was Tasmi's turn to scream, and the purple-haired girl, who had been guarding the dozen or so people in the back, stabbed her dagger into the back of the old man's head.
The purple-haired girl said "I'm sorry", but her men continued to execute the other captives. Say sorry for every one you kill, and look at Tasmi's creepiness.
"We're leaving, it's impossible to take the captives with us, and it's impossible to let these guys go. ”
The woman in the blindfold walked over, more than half a head taller than Tasmi, and the powerful coercion she exuded made Tasmi's question swallow back into her stomach.
"Syndica is also our target, so you can follow us if you want. ”
The woman's words stunned her companions, as if this was a rare thing: "Of course you can choose, this guy's words may not be true, it may just want you to plant in the hands of Syndica." ”
"Cindica was a great slave trader and had dealings with the big names of Valentine. It's just one of his strongholds, and it's a shame that we pounced on him and just ruined his stronghold and downline,"
"If you don't come with us, we'll fix your memory, and we won't erase your other memories, but you won't remember our faces and voices. If you don't, the Inquisition guys will pull every detail out of your head. ”
Tasmi was stunned at first, but quickly calmed down, and his eyes turned to Leas's head in the distance, and his eyes were red again.
He said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll go with you......"
The woman nodded: "Very good, then you are a member of the Dark Moon, my name is Najhita, and it is okay to call me the head of the eldest sister." ”
The tall man smiled and said, "I'm Bollard, a fourth-level warrior. You're still a trainee warrior, I'm glad that there is another little guy in the team who regards me as an object of worship, and our dark moon is really yin and yang. ”
The other man was the first to talk to the "eldest sister", and first mocked Pollard: "Do you want to steal the limelight from the eldest sister? I can't worship you!"
Then he smiled at Tasmi: "My name is Lupok, a fourth-level magician, and I made all the movements in the town just now, right?"
Everyone else introduced themselves......
The purple-haired girl said her name: "Xiyili ......"
The black-haired, red-eyed girl said, "I'm Ankaret, you should know." Your performance is what I expected, and I recognize that you are eligible to enter the Dark Moon, but this is just the beginning. ”
Leona, the bold short-haired woman, smiled, "There aren't many people who can make Ankaret recognize, you have to keep working hard, boy." ”
The short girl with pink hair and carrying a strange style but supposed to be a magic guide gun spit out an even weirder pink ball from her mouth, which swelled rapidly, and after exploding, she said with a smile: "I'm Milky, do you want slime chewing gum?"
The canopy on the ceiling opened, and a red-haired head poked out, and said in a cold but crisp voice, "The city guards are almost here!"
"That's Kiki......"
The eldest sister said to Tasmi, "We have to leave immediately." ”
Tasmi nodded, found a piece of cloth to wrap Leas's head around his waist, and followed the Darkmoon Slayer out of town.
On a low hill outside the town, Tasmi bowed to the tree where his partner's head was buried, and said, "I'm ready." ”
"You've taken us by surprise once again......"
Pollard, who was assigned to teach him, said: "I remember that the funeral of the Gawain was very cumbersome, and he was prepared to knock you unconscious if you wanted ink. ”
Tasmi said bitterly: "The important thing now is not the funeral, but the rescue of Yusha and the revenge of Leas. ”
"Ambitious", Bollard patted him on the shoulder and said, "But this alone is not enough, the world in the south is terrible, and you must be mentally prepared to advance into the abyss." ”
Tasmi sighed, "I feel like I'm already in the abyss......"
Wearing a cloak that concealed their figures, they rode on a short-legged wildebeest, and the group silently set out on the road, preparing to continue south around the Lion King City.
"You have the potential to be a Darkmoon Slayer, Tasmi......"
On the way, Pollard whispered to Tasmi: "The eldest sister's vision is definitely not wrong, we were all discovered by her." ”
The leader of the Dark Moon Killer is of course very powerful, but Tasmi has no concept at all, so he knows that it is not a realm that he can reach at all.
"Eldest sister, it turned out to be a member of the Hand of Order, and she almost became a saint of order. ”
Bollard's words made Tasmi's heart beat several beats faster, Hand of Order!?
Those terrifying beings who are rumored to serve the goddess of order in the mortal world are equivalent to angels in the mortal world!?
"Later, something happened, and the eldest sister withdrew from the hand of order and established the light of the dark moon. ”
Pollard continued to talk about the origin of the light of the dark moon: "We were either poor people abandoned by fate or degenerates who couldn't find their way, but fortunately, the eldest sister brought us together and gave us a hard career. ”
"Tasmi, the Fountain of Life is hard to come by, since you have joined the Dark Moon, you have to follow the eldest sister wholeheartedly. If you slack off or even regret it, the eldest sister won't say anything, and Ankari won't agree. ”
Pollard winked at Tasmi: "That girl was originally a member of the Hand of Order, the most powerful and the most severe of our Dark Moon except for the eldest sister, you have to be careful." ”
"Bollard ......"
The eldest sister spoke: "Don't scare Tasmi, we don't have a rule that Dark Moon is not allowed to leave, and what kind of career is ......"
Her tone was a little lonely: "We are just killing people on a dark moonlit night, killing people who should not continue to stay in the world, that's all, it's not a noble thing." ”
"The world has changed beyond recognition, we don't know if what we are doing is right or wrong, we just do things that make us feel better and ...... at the same time"
She seemed to be laughing at herself: "You can still earn Gimpour." ”
Realizing that these words were too demoralizing, she coughed and lifted her spirits: "Okay, let's get some more oil, kill the Syndica, and then we can go to Valentine to find Princess Podina, maybe we can find a real career in her." ”
Tasmi's heart was smashed by another place name and a person's name......
Going to Valentine!?
The third princess of Candas, the Holy Lady of Order Podina!?
"No one knows that Princess Podina is our backer behind the scenes...... One ......"
Tasmi suppressed his heartbeat and asked, "Isn't Valentin a place where mortals can't go?"
Everyone laughed, and the bold woman Leona said, "Little Tammy, you're really a countryman, Valentine lives with millions of mortals, why can't you go?"
"Our three northern countries are places that are specially controlled, southerners and things in the south are strictly forbidden, and those who are qualified to go to Valentine are people with status and background, of course, they have to make up some excuses to coax you countrymen. ”
"We didn't dare to go before, because Empress Dawn was in the Castle of the God-Emperor, and she could keep an eye on every street and alley in the city, every tavern, and listen to what everyone was saying. Where would a killer like us dare to come close?"
"It's different now, the empress has returned to the kingdom of God, and the empire is completely ruled by mortals. ”
The eldest sister stopped Leona and said lightly: "So it's even more chaotic, Lion King City is like this, what will happen to Valentine, everyone must cheer up and be ready for twelve points." ”
Tasmi's heart was surging, he did remember Yusa's whereabouts, as well as Leas's revenge, and of course the fountain of life would not forget, but Valentine ...... That's Valentine.
The group rode forward in the night, the bushes and grasses away from the road whirring in the night wind, and the shadows were gathering, as if something was waiting for an opportunity.
At the same time, outside the Lion King City, in the Temple of Order in the north, a white-haired old man comforted the brown-haired girl beside him: "I will send someone to find your partner, don't worry, Yusha." The goddess of order watches over the world and does not let the good people suffer. ”
Yusha still had tears on her face: "Even if they are fine, but without me, Tasmi will get into trouble!"
The old man said leisurely: "You have to trust them, and you don't want to wait for them to find you, you have already found the fountain of life, and you are still refreshed, much stronger than them?"
The girl was very embarrassed, and the old man struck while the iron was hot: "Respond to the favor of Her Majesty the Goddess, only order is the source of everything, you have the potential to become the Holy Maiden of Order, Yusha, don't ignore the arrangement of fate and the favor of the goddess, that will be punished by God." ”
The girl lowered her eyes and said timidly, "Okay...... Well, Hasru...... Master, please let me serve Her Majesty the Goddess and praise His greatness in the mortal world. ”https://./5_5025/
