Chapter Ninety-Six: Illusory or Real?
The fat man walked on the noisy downtown street, and Joyka had some questions, what was going on, we were obviously in the wilderness on the outskirts of the mountains
Cassius shook his head to indicate that he didn't know either
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the sky was cloudy, and when the clouds cleared, Joyka and Cassius found themselves in a bustling city, shouting vendors, jugglers, passers-by, and security soldiers marching through in procession...... This qiē is full of familiarity, a scene of peace and prosperity, which makes Joyka and Cassiuston, who have been full of dangers in their adventurous careers, feel like they have found a home, if only they could live here for a long time - although they don't say it, Joyka and Cassius both have the same idea
Come on, come on, come on, there was a man on the other side of the street shouting nervously
What happened to Job, and passers-by who knew this man gathered around and asked
Lucy, Lucy, she was about to give birth The man named Job grabbed the passer-by by the shoulder and said excitedly
Congratulations, Job, who is about to become a father, shouted and blessed Job and the soon-to-be-born child
Lucy's stomach hurts terribly......
Don't rush to the doctor to deliver her
I went to the church to find a pastor to baptize the child
I'll go......
The crowd was so busy that Job burst into tears: Thank you, thank you......
What a wonderful thing it is to have a new life being born, Cassius, who witnessed this qiē, said to Joyka beside him
Well, Joyka nodded in agreement
At this moment, the two of them heard a familiar voice again: Auntie, where are you taking me?
Sophia Joyka hurriedly ran in the direction where the voice came from, only to see Sophia, who was wearing a pure white priest's robe, being tightly grabbed by a short and fat aunt and dragged all the way
Job's wife is about to give birth to a child you are a pastor shouldn t you baptize the child aunt said to Sophia
Ah, I see, Sophia suddenly realized, without further ado, let's hurry up
Sophia was also here, watching Sophia being dragged away by the aunt
Let's go up and see Joyka
The two followed closely behind Sophia and her aunt until they came to the door of an ordinary house, and saw that there was already a group of men and women in front of the house, and Job was also walking nervously in the crowd
The priest came, the priest came, and the aunt shouted and dragged Sophia apart from the crowd of onlookers into the house, and then slammed the door shut, and the woman gave birth to the house, and the man was not allowed to enter, so Joika and Cassius came into the crowd and waited patiently
Outside the stone gate of the Tower of Seven Sins
Beside several of his companions, who were lying neatly on the ground, Ray walked around nervously like Job waiting for a new life
I don't know what happened to them, although it was only ten minutes later, but Ray felt like a few years later, Ray was an anxious person, he couldn't stand the long wait, and even several times Ray wanted to enter the dream world and face difficulties with his friends, but whenever his eyes stayed on the three sleeping partners, Sophia's instructions involuntarily appeared in his ears
If even I enter the dream world, who will protect us, and use this reason to forcibly prevent himself from entering the dream world eighteen times
However, there is always a limit to everything, after waiting for so long, Ray's patience is slowly worn out, Ray has never been a person who lets his partners fight in front and stay quietly in the rear, he is the first to charge at the front line every time he fights, although Sophia's instructions are in sight, but the human character cannot be changed
Sophia, please forgive me, I can't stay any longer, Ray said to the sleeping Sophia
Determined to die with his companions, Ray looked up at the mural on the stone door......
After a long wait, the cry of a baby finally came from the room
The crowd fell silent at first, then erupted in cheers, and Job excitedly shook everyone's hand: begotten, begotten, begotten
The door opened, and Job hurriedly rushed in, but was blocked by a fat body, and it was the fat aunt who dragged Sophia inside out of the house, what was the hurry, Lucy was too tired, she needed to rest, you as a husband will not be considerate, and the aunt complained to Job
Yes Yes Yes ...... Job nodded like garlic
Seeing his stupid appearance, everyone burst into laughter
Then a young female pastor came out with a swaddling baby, and Job gathered around with the crowd, only to see the newborn baby in the swaddling clothes, moving his hands and feet, crying, and looking very cute
Boy and Girl Job asked impatiently
Congratulations you are a daughter Sophia said with a smile
True, Job was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the baby girl from Sophia's hand, and it hurt hard, dear, it didn't matter whether it was a boy or a girl, and the joy of being a first-time father was no different
Sophia, who had just come out of the crowd, heard her name called
Cassius, Joyka, why are you here?
It's time for us to ask you to walk up to Joyka why you're here here
By the way, Joika's question about why I'm here made Sophia stunned for a moment, she actually forgot the purpose of her trip to this place, what the hell is this place
We don't know, Cassius shook his head, but the people here are very welcoming, the people are good, and everyone is happy
Yes, Joyka and Sophia nodded in agreement
It would be great if I could live in this city, Cassius continued, and everyone was very harmonious, far away from the strife, and this was the good life I dreamed of
Me too...... Ah, as she spoke, Sophia's face suddenly changed, yes, it was a dream
What's the matter, Sophia's transformation stunned Joyka and Cassius
I remembered that this was a dream, and you were trapped in a dream, and I came in and took you out
How can dreams be so real here, you look at those people...... Cassius was a little receptive
Sophia, you love this place too, Joyka said
This...... Sophia didn't know how to answer that Joyka was telling the truth
At this moment, suddenly from afar came the frightened shouts of the crowd, and then there was a commotion in the street
Help me
Enemy soldiers came in
Run away, kill someone
......
The three of them immediately ran towards the place where the commotion had come from, and when they turned a street, they saw a group of horseback and armored cavalry wielding all kinds of weapons, killing people all over the street, and the city security forces, which were absolutely inferior in numbers, rose up to resist, but this resistance was like a mantis arm as a car, and soon the streets were full of corpses and rivers of blood
Stop, witnessing the atrocities, Sophia and the three of them stepped forward to stop the crazy mob, but the mob ignored the three people's orders, and they continued to wield sharp weapons and slaughter wildly
They must be stopped, Sophia, Joyka, Cassius could no longer endure a few sharp arrows, five thugs fell off their horses, the thugs found the archer standing in the middle of the street with angry eyes, several thugs kicked the horse's belly, raised the blade in their hands to kill Joica, but at this time, a fat figure stood in front of the archer, Cassius lost his magic wand, but he understood the true meaning of spellless casting, only to see his palms held relatively flat on his chest, a white ice ball in the middle of his palms kept gathering between his palms, Freeze, go, when the water elemental was almost gathered, Cassius drank violently, and the ice ball in the middle of his palms disappeared, but countless sharp ice needles condensed in the air, and splashed towards the thugs who rushed towards him and Joyka
After a burst of ping-pong sounds, most of the ice needles were blocked by the metal armor, however, there were still a small number of ice needles shot into the flesh of the person from the interval of the armor, and then transmitted freezing energy in the body, and none of the rioters who were shot by the ice needles were frozen and could not move, fell off their horses, and the armor was covered with a layer of frost
Even as Joyka and Cassius fought the mob with all their might, Sophia was not idle, despite her mental exhaustion, the silver cross released a stream of holy light without rest, doing her best to save the seriously injured who fell to the ground
Several horsemen did not take part in the siege of the townspeople and Joyka and Cassius, and they reined in their horses and ran in the other direction of the street
No, the place they were going to was where the Job family was, Sophia was startled, immediately turned over, jumped up, kicked the last thug off the horse, and then rode steadily on the back of the horse that was snatched back, and drove Sophia to chase in the direction of the mobs, and the four thugs found Sophia who was rushing up behind them, they turned their horses' heads, raised their knives and slashed at Sophia, Sophia attached various battle blessings to herself in advance, and bravely rushed up to meet the battle, only to hear a fierce metal crash sound, two short swords and the weapons of the four thugs rubbed out bursts of sparks......
Although she succeeded in knocking down the four thugs who stood in the way, Sophia was still a step too late, and the unarmed and kind crowd who had just been talking and laughing in front of Job's house encountered a frenzied massacre, and the front of the house was littered with corpses, and Job's body was among them
A woman's voice came from inside the house, and Sophia saw a thug come out of the house with a bloody sword in one hand and a newborn baby girl in the other, and a woman with messy hair was clinging to the thug's right foot and screaming with all her might
Sophia recognized the woman as Job's wife, Lucy's mother to the baby, and the thug reversed his sword and stabbed Lucy in the chest in a frenzy - Lucy screamed and fell in a pool of blood, never to rob the baby again, and then brutally lifted the baby high above her head and threw it to the ground -
Just as the baby girl was about to hit the ground, a pure white figure flew by—Sophia's movements had never been as fast as now, and she saved the baby girl at the moment when she was about to die, but Sophia found herself under siege by several thugs, and Sophia held the baby girl in one hand and a short sword in the other, desperately resisting
Because of too many scruples, Sophia gradually fell behind in the crazy siege of several thugs, and after more than a dozen rounds of stubborn resistance, Sophia finally couldn't support it, her right hand was slashed hard, Sophia snorted in pain, the short sword fell to the ground, the blood stained the sleeves of the priest's robe, and the disaster was not alone, Sophia was hit hard in the back, she fell to the ground, she still protected the baby in her arms, several thugs raised knives and slashed at Sophia, she had no way to escape, so she had to turn around and press the baby on her chest, in order to use her back to block the damage of the blade to the baby......
Seeing that Sophia was about to be cut down, suddenly a yellow figure rushed into the battle group at lightning speed, only to hear a very loud bang, the weapons in the hands of several thugs besieging Sophia were shaken away, Sophia saw a crimson spear swimming between the bodies of several thugs, the armor on the thug's body was useless in front of the sharp spear head, and in less than ten seconds, several thugs with countless lives all turned into twitching corpses on the ground
Resufia picked up the baby and rushed to the man who saved her life, why did you come here?
Let's not talk about who they are like this, they are so cruel, and Lei lightly wiped the blood stains on his face
Sophia was speechless, she wanted to say that it was a dream, but this cruel thing was so real that she couldn't tell whether it was illusory or real, or that Sophia had taken it as real from her heart, if it was a dream, why would she risk her life to save a baby who didn't even have zài
Sophia was okay, a voice came from behind, and she saw Joyka and Cassius walking towards her
Cassius's leg was injured and he walked with a limp, and the left side of his face was bruised, and Joyka's condition was even worse, the quiver behind him was empty, and he was holding a long sword that was still dripping blood, and blood was flowing from his left hand, and his clothes were cut to tatters, and through the cracks in his clothes, the scars that were still bleeding could be clearly seen
Ray, why are you here, Cassius asked his brother
Brother, let's not talk about what is going on here, how can these guys kill people when they see them
Not quite sure, Cassius shook his head and said, "There are too many of them, and Joika and I can't resist them."
Suddenly, Joica's ears moved, and his keen sense of hearing made him sense the danger in time, and Joicka gave a warning and pushed Cassius away from him, and the quick reaction of Ray also pulled Sophia to the corner of the wall, and at the same time, a rapid rain of arrows covered the place where they had just stood, until Cassius unleashed a large area of ice needle rain to eliminate all the archers who sneaked up, and they did not come out of their hiding place
Everyone's okay
Well
OK
Ahh
