Chapter 5: Leon, the Beast
9:20 p.m., Roman Theater of Lyon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since the use of short-range teleportation arrays was not approved, the journey of the Inspectorate and his party in Lyon was a little more complicated than expected.
They had just gotten off the plane, and because the target was scheduled to be in the Fuyewei Mountains, they had to go there on foot, which meant that they encountered the common problems of most developed economic countries, such as traffic jams, robberies, and bewitching greetings from girls in the red-light district.
With a length of almost 200 meters, the ancient theater of Lyon was built in 20 BC and is now used as a tourist attraction and for open-air concerts.
There's nothing wrong with making the most of it, but it's too much trouble in the eyes of the Beast Squad. Because of the unfortunate situation, I made a long journey to the predetermined place, only to find that a midsummer night concert was being held in the quaint square.
Operation Beast Punishment has begun to be covered up in the world by the Holy See, and the absence of unrelated people is a major reason.
Therefore, several people stood at the top of the stands, staring at each other with wide eyes, and looked at Father Rong Xuan, who was scratching his head and depressed at the moment.
"Emergency!" Got a plausible answer. Since the person in charge has said so, then just listen to the concert honestly and stop complaining.
However, Li Hao's slightly obsessive-compulsive personality has been withholding an old man playing the violin in the audience for a long time. obviously doesn't know anything about music, but pretends to hold the violin in it and fills up the numbers, the melody of the whole music is crooked by him alone, and it happens that when you listen to a concert, you can meet the person who pulls out the noise, Li Hao is annoyed, it's really disappointing.
By the way, Zheng Zhe rushed back from Rome and didn't meet the beast mobilization meeting, but he finally caught the last train. At the moment, he is very quiet and listens to this open-air music feast, unlike Li Hao's situation, he has practiced beside the Pope since he was a child, and he often has a unique understanding of all things, music, noise, birdsong, and flowing water, in his opinion, are just a kind of sound in nature, so why should he be demanding what is good or not, and there is a difference between good and evil, high and low?
"Father, are you so sure the target will appear tonight?" Halfway through the concert, looking at the crowd of people from the audience, Zheng Zhe opened his eyes and asked the question he had been wanting to know the answer to tonight.
But Rong Xuan's smile was very incomprehensible: "What's the matter, don't you believe my judgment?" ”
"How to believe? Depending on the situation, the concert may be held until midnight. Li Hao muttered impatiently, both afraid of being heard and eager to convey his truth to the ears of others.
"Young man, it's too impatient. I can assure you that the answers you want will soon be in front of you. The person in charge gave a categorical answer.
Suddenly, the crowd in the square was almost empty, and later, the musicians packed up their bags and left in batches, leaving only the old man who played like a noise and held his violin unmoved.
After three minutes and seventeen seconds, the bow turned in vain, the performer slowly lowered the instrument, and the complete Violin Concerto No. 22 came to a successful conclusion.
"It seems that the logistics department has dispersed irrelevant personnel." The priest said this inexplicably.
Suddenly, Rong Xuan smiled and took two steps forward, applauding the performers in the audience without hesitation. The rest of the staff were puzzled, what was the priest crazy about?
But soon they learned that the priest's slightly hoarse but extremely clear voice spoke through the theater.
"Friends! Did you kill yourself? Or will we do it? ”
It was too outrageous to open his mouth to let an old man who enjoyed Chenghuan's knees commit suicide, but Zheng Zhe immediately realized that the orcs had been hiding among many performers, because the smell was masked by humans, and there were far away and confused playing sounds, unless they were of the same kind, the bioelectric field of the orc could not be parsed by human senses alone.
Damn, the fact that they have transformed into human features is a great advantage for orcs.
Only then did he sigh with emotion, the orcs in black dresses in the audience had already turned around as expected, the ten fingers were slender and slender, 1.5 times that of ordinary people, and the appearance was exactly the same as the information in the tactical computer, looking gloomy, and he responded in a loud voice without politeness: "Even a group of dogs in the Holy See can taste Lao Tzu's masterpieces, and ordinary people have to be treated equally, Lao Tzu still wants to show it to others, why do you want to die?" ”
Li Hao was suddenly furious: "Phew! It's like! In God's name, I purge you scum of the bastard! ”
"Haha! Huangkou child, when Lao Tzu was playing solo in Vienna, you were still peeing in your mother's belly! ”
"Clever words! Lost lamb on the edge of hell, I will send you to God today to see if his old man will rescue you! ”
The purpose of the mission is to not be able to end well with the orcs, so no matter how much negotiation there is, it is too quick to speak. Rong Xuan took a step back and gave orders with an expressionless face, with only two words concisely: "Do it!" ”
Li Hao, who took the lead in attacking, bent over his legs, shallowly left two footprints on the mottled stone bricks, and the person had already jumped under the stage, under the cultivation of the Temple of Jealousy for many years, each member of the team had the most basic physical skills, and used it to turn the situation around at the right time.
However, this speed can only be called fast, in front of the Orcs of the Yeba Clan, it is about the same as a small child's toddler.
"In terms of speed, Lao Tzu is your ancestor! If you want to kill me Bai Ang, just come on! ”
After shouting a strong morale rhetoric, Bai Ang grabbed the violin at his feet and threw it over.
Looking at the posture like a meteorite falling to the ground, generally speaking, if you don't want to be smashed, you have to hide, but Li Hao's extreme self-confidence does not allow him to be half sluggish, so he has a more effective way. In short, there are only weapons.
Three layers of glory spells blessed the whole body, Li Hao's white dress was like icing on the cake and emitted a sacred light, and his right hand pulled out a strangely shaped scimitar from his waist, which was classified as a holy weapon by the canon, called the Holy See weapon of Yunshui Fury.
"Boom!"
The scimitar rotated on the nimble fingertips, and with the power of the glory spell, Li Hao transitioned the divine light to the weapon, and with a gentle wave of his forearm, the cloud of water that was enough to cut through the metal shattered the flying thing into several pieces, and all disappeared into the air!
"It's useless when you're old, is that what you can do!"
"Haha!" Bai Ang laughed wildly in the face of the provocation, and the hanging hands suddenly slowly became ten fingers, and a sharp hard object of unknown structure sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, the color was gray, and the nails turned gray?
"This is the claw?" Zheng Zhe issued a guess as a bystander.
"How is that possible? An orc who can surpass the ninth-level fighting spirit and form a claw in his body is not a mouse, and he grabs a nest. It depends on the situation as an atavistic phenomenon. Rong Xuan shook his head.
"Oh? What does the priest mean that it is about to appear? ”
"It's okay to say that, the physical signs of orcs are closely related to animals, and only by returning to the basics can we exert greater combat effectiveness." The priest immediately changed his words, "However, if you need to rely on atavism to improve your combat power, then no matter how powerful this orc is, it is limited, it seems that Zheng Zhe, as the strongest backup, you don't have to end up." ”
The length of the gray hard armor is about twenty centimeters, Bai Ang has the same weapon conditions, relying on the ghost of the Yeba clan to swim around, several times with Li Hao's scimitar short hand, judging from the sparks that are sputtered, I know that this is not an ordinary nail, and there is a possibility of disemboweling if it is scratched on a human body.
But this hard and gray long armor, Li Hao inexplicably thought of the stinky stone in the pit, presumably this old gentleman didn't know how long it had been since he had cut his nails, and there was dirt and dirt in it, as if he really smelled the stench, Li Hao's sad stomach kept churning, and he almost wanted to faint.
In this way, even though he has super dynamic vision that can see the movement of orcs, he is still timid, but he was shot by Bai Ang first, and Li Hao's white dress was carelessly cut out, and the broken silk thread swayed slightly with the shaking of the figure.
"Alas...... This kid's cleanliness. The priest was overwhelmed. Then he motioned to Sharon and Yu Yixian, who were the right to be spectators, "You guys should go down too." ”
"Yes!"
The weapon of the bright woman Sharon is a small and sharp scalpel hidden between her hands, and she has changed into a strong suit for today's battle, highlighting her delicate figure. And the weapon of the rest of the line is much simpler, and a long axe is carried on his shoulder, which is very in line with his burly physique.
Both rolled over and got out of the stands and joined the fight. The long axe, scalpel, and cloud water rage superimposed the attack, encompassing Bai Ang's range of movement, which made his ghostly speed limited in a circle, and he had no time to care about it.
The form was reversed in an instant, the three of them had the same mind and tacit understanding in the previous training, with the interference of the other two classmates, Li Hao's pressure was greatly reduced, the important thing was that he didn't have to face the stinky and hard long armor alone, the cloud and water turned into a sword shadow in the sky and shrouded Bai Ang, from the dazzling divine light emitted, this knife now has the qualification to kill the night orc.
"Zheng!" The scimitar rotated in his hand for a week and a half, and the condensed light reached the level of a small fluorescent lamp, and this weapon that would increase in sharpness with the glory spell attacked the face of the white orc without any fancy movements! And Bai Ang's reaction can be called lightning fast, and while his head fell back, a dull hand blocked the fatal blow.
"Hey, hey! That's all it takes? ”
"What about this?"
Xia Lun was as light as a swallow, and he landed on the ground with a continuous backflip, and a scalpel shot out, discharging air resistance and bursting out in a circle of ripples.
Zheng! The crisp sound came first, and before he could see Bai Ang's figure clearly, the scalpel that should have pierced through the orc's chest was blocked by the long armor on the other hand, and the strong wind blew in his face, and the scalpel spun and flew back into the woman's hand along the way it came. Sharon looked surprised.
But Bai Ang is not happy, he shouldn't be arrogant, the weapon that has been blessed by the spell, the divine light is the best nemesis of all the evil creatures that the caster identifies as evil, which means that the nails that are as sharp as clay, only one finger of the five fingers remains, and the four fingers are cut off by the roots, and now the night orc is a real six-fingered qin demon.
"Excellent! Relying on the strength of the crowd, right? The red-colored left hand trembled involuntarily, and Bai Ang gritted his teeth and shouted.
"That's a lot of nonsense!"
The tall and mighty Yu Yi will not have the kindness of a woman to the orc old man, roared angrily, held the axe in both hands, and slashed a blow in the blind spot area of Bai Ang's vision!
If Bai Ang had long eyes in the back of his head, he would have known that he needed to dodge sideways, but not only did he not, but the dignity of orc nature did not allow him to dodge. So, when the axe was about to cut Bai Gao's head in a different place, he flew out with a swift kick that was only a phantom, and kicked it on the knee of Yu Yi, and the center of gravity of the axe-bearer was blocked, and his strength was slackened, and he half-knelt on the ground.
Taking advantage of the time difference, Bai Ang rushed out of the encirclement of the three of them, and one jumped up and stood firmly on the half-section of the stone pillar in the square, and coldly recited the spell of the seal: "Invisible wind spirit, please give me a frenzied breath!" ”
With the appearance of a wonderful induction, bursts of pale green mist swept around the square and on the stands, soft like cotton wool, and the taste was like a clear spring in the valley.
The breath of the wind spirit, at the humble request of the caster, converged like a stream to Bai En's feet. Of course, this will not be the whole picture of the elves, it is just a little gift from the elven world by virtue of the resonance between the orcs and nature. Yes, it is a gift, a spirit of near-eternal and infinite energy that does not have feelings for any living being, and even if it does, refer to the relationship between humans and pets.
Suddenly, the wind was blowing, the trees were shaking, the grass and trees were flying all over the sky within a certain range, and the dust rolled up formed a vortex in the nostalgic ancient theater, and the figure standing in the center was immovable, it was the orc Bai Ang of the Yeba tribe.
And the influence of the wind created with the help of the power of the elves had just begun, Bai Ang sneered cruelly a few times, and suddenly he disappeared in the flying sand and rocks.
The three people on the battlefield were shocked, and under the tracking of dynamic vision, they could only see a whirlpool with a radius of more than one meter thick moving irregularly in the square.
Everywhere they went, they kicked up gravel dust, and the old and fragile stone pillars cracked into rocks of different sizes when they came into contact.
Li Hao kept wielding his scimitar to block the rocks, although it was difficult to open his eyes when he was squinted by the wind and sand, the color of the divine light did not stagnate. So, under the urging of the glory spell, he jumped up, flipped his body upside down and stabbed into the eye of the vortex.
Go fast and come back fast.
"Knock knock!" With a few muffled sounds, Bai Ang's long-accumulating fist, with the help of a whirlpool, landed on Li Hao's abdomen without a trace, and a mouthful of black blood spit out, and Li Hao bounced into the mottled stone bricks like an upside-down kite.
"It's elven magic, it's a bit of a problem." The priest's tone was slightly uneasy.
Zheng Zhe's hand was already on the Western sword hanging from his waist: "Do you need my help?" ”
"No, I don't. By feeling, at best, it is the breath of a lower elf. This can't be defeated, and the middle and upper elves that you will face in the future will talk about what kind of beasts. ”
"Yes! But Father, I'll be on the lookout. ”
"Don't worry!" Rong Xuan patted him on the shoulder, revealing his signature smile, "There are five of us." ”
The priest gestured to the seventeen-year-old Englishwoman: "Mebis! ”
"Got it, Uncle Priest." The girl responded sweetly.
After speaking, Mebius, who was bare-skinned and small-footed, quietly took out an English longbow full of aristocratic taste from behind him.
The red, blue, and white tricolor pattern wraps around the bow handle, and the handshake is filled with a line of Hebrew writing that means "broken." It looks a little familiar, Zheng Zhe searched the canon in his mind, and finally had the answer, could it be......
"Overclocking compound? The exclusive weapon of Gabriel, the fourth apostle of the Holy See? ”
"Good knowledge!" The priest's smile was thick.
Mebis ran the Glory Spell to fill his body, gently pulling the bowstring. Whoever is recognized by the Hallows will use it with ease and without hindrance.
The fried chicken leg made a sound of "Zilala", and an arrow glowing with a faint white light generated on its own, and a little starlight lingered on the side, bending the bow and arrow, and Mebis had already aimed at Bai Ang below with a focused expression.
"Sister Irene! Help me! ”
The silent knight girl pressed on the hilt of the sword with one hand, nodded coolly, and swung a sword downward!
The cold sword qi drew an elegant arc like a rainbow, and the color was gray and black.
In an instant, the three strong smells of "Danger", "Forbidden", and "Sabotage" erupted from the "Sword of Damoxley", and the emptiness struck, hitting Bai Ang, who controlled the vortex and fought with the two people below.
In the roar, Bai Ang only felt a lightness under his feet, and he would not be directly harmed by the arc sword qi if he was surrounded by the breath of the wind, but he didn't expect that there would be a shock wave, and he was bounced into the air, and he was in a hurry, so he was not embarrassed.
It's the perfect time!
"Overclocking...... Break the Demons! ”
Mebis's eyes were bright, and no one in the air could adjust his body with the help of his strength, and in an instant, an arrow shot out!
The white arrow-shaped light tore through the air and burst into a series of whistling whistles, only to be seen as a small vortex swirling arrows.
When the arrow swirled into Bai Ang's body, it pierced through, and red blood sprayed into the air!
Or the Wind Elf can resist the Glory Spell, but under the fusion and dissipation of the "Demon Breaking Arrow", unless the magic theory is well studied, otherwise, it is the nemesis of elven magic.
"Smack!" Bai Angxuan fell to the ground. The target of the debut, the Orcs of the Yeba tribe from France, finally fell.
At 12:27 p.m., after sending Li Hao to a nearby church to recuperate from his injuries, Zheng Zhe returned to the theater again.
In fact, it is nominally a treatment, but in fact it is mostly rest. The Glory Spell will repair injuries that are not fatal on its own, which is similar to the fighting spirit of the orcs who also belong to the cosmic energy, so after determining that Li Hao will not be fine, under the instruction of the priest, he has a bit of an unsolvable problem that needs to be verified by Bai Ang.
At this time, Bai Ang's consciousness had not yet dissipated, and the Holy See's aftermath team was also patrolling nearby. Until his death is confirmed, the team will send personnel to clean up the scene, and this unwritten rule has been followed since the beginning of Operation Beast.
Bai Ang's physical strength was abundant, and he would not die immediately after a while, but the arrow in his chest pierced his heart, which was hideous and terrifying, and it also announced that his time was short.
The footsteps of Zheng Zhe's slow walk were noticed by the orcs lying on the ground waiting to die.
"Why didn't you go? Do you still want to make up for Lao Tzu? Bai Ang's boring hands trembled slightly, and the skin that should have been sparse hair was slowly covered with slender fluff.
Atavism...... When an orc dies, it gradually reverts back to a certain type of animal that is closely related to its physical signs, and because of this, the existence of the orc has been concealed for thousands of years.
The beast is about to die, and its song is also mourning, Zheng Zhe sighed: "I just came to confirm your death, or if you want, I can listen to your last words." ”
"Lao Tzu has no last words, Lao Tzu has no ......" Bai Ang didn't overdo it, he was quite stubborn.
Zheng Zhe was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
Time passed in the silence of the two of them for three minutes, and suddenly Bai Ang whispered, "Hey! What do you think of my violin? ”
"This ......" should have told him that he couldn't tell the difference between music and noise, and that it was better to let an old man walk more easily, "It's good." ”
"Haha! Of course it's good, Lao Tzu chased Lucia by playing the violin back then. ”
"Mind asking, who is Lucia?"
"That's Lao Tzu's cheapness, the most beautiful woman in the world, haha......"
Bai Ang raised his head and laughed, Zheng Zhe did not disturb the old man's pride, and when he calmed down, his eyes were full of tears.
"When she was in Lyon, she loved listening to my violin. We come here every month for concerts, sometimes there are a lot of people, sometimes it's just her, there...... Right there......" Bai Ang trembled and pointed to the third row of the stands.
Zheng Zhe only looked at it for a moment, and understood it in his heart: "Is it the second position from the left in the third row?" ”
"That's right! Right...... She sat there, singing for me, dancing for me......"
"Congratulations. In that case, why do you live with her uncomfortably? ”
"Over...... How...... She's dead. Bai Ang's voice became weaker and weaker, and his gaze showed a sloppy color, "You know...... She died at the hands of your Holy See. ”
Zheng Zhe was surprised, if this was true, it was probably a beast killing operation that accidentally affected humans. No wonder the priest was so sure that he was in the theater, and he probably came to this concert in memory of his wife.
"I apologize to you for their actions. But even if there is revenge, there are many ways, why join the Demon Society and try to set off a second tidal event and make more humans die, is this good? ”
"What's wrong...... Ahem...... Isn't the true racial equality that the demon society has brought to this world the best way to resolve racial disputes? ”
Zheng Zhe shook his head and said, "The Demon Society is just acting for its own interests, you won't be unaware." Alas...... If you orcs hadn't invaded the human world a hundred years ago, maybe everything would have been better. ”
"Yes...... Is it? I'm also curious to know why orcs cause tidal events...... Why? ”
"Listen to you, don't you orcs know the reason for the orc invasion? So ......"
Zheng Zhe suddenly paused, because Bai Ang would not answer him anymore. The slender fluff covered his whole body, and his head became slender, and when the atavism ended, he accidentally discovered that his genetic essence was a mole, which can also explain why he has such long nails.
"In the name of God, may mercy help you to reach the other side, and may the light wash you with lead." Zheng Zhe sighed, gently stroked out a blessing, and a faint white light surrounded Bai Ang, slowly melting into his body.
Orc ...... What kind of creature are you?
Zheng Zhe pondered silently, he thought that he would find the answer to his search here, but it seemed that a deeper question had arisen......
