Chapter 244: The City of Water and Wood
After exerting a lot of physical strength, bleeding a lot, and perhaps being affected by the toxin, Jory passed out unconscious.
As we all know, blood is the source of human physical strength, especially the already fragile human body, once the amount of blood loss reaches one-fifth, people will have an obvious sense of weakness, but they can continue to exert seventy or eighty percent of their combat effectiveness. However, when the blood loss reaches two-fifths, the person's state is not far from being paralyzed, and whether or not he can stand up and walk around like a normal person is another matter, and even speaking incoherently (this author proves from personal experience that when the blood loss reaches two-fifths, I don't have the strength to speak on the phone, well, I failed to call an ambulance that day...... )
Carrying Jory on her back, Enola estimated Jory's injury, and couldn't help but feel a touch of bitterness in her heart: This messy guy, why did I mess around with him?
Although Enola lost her knowledge, curse marks and other things after losing her memory, the eyesight given to her by the battle instinct was still there, and she estimated that Jori's injury was probably caused by excessive bleeding and weakness, but listening to his steady and regular breathing, it was still far from the danger of life, and after bandaging Jori, Enola was confident that she would not let Jory bleed to death before she rushed to the human settlement.
I just don't know if there is any toxin invading his wounds......
And through Jory's impulse tonight, Enola also has a standard assessment of his strength. The form of the Shadow Demon fluctuates between the high-level demons, and if humans want to fight with it, they must at least have the willpower of an intermediate and high-level saint, and if I'm not mistaken, Enola feels that Jori's strength is at least above that of an intermediate saint.
The strength system of the saints is still quite weird, and the central force is not the energy system of fighting spirit and magic, but the strength of will.
Whether it is chanting a spell or wielding a sword, saints with stronger wills than ordinary people can exert stronger attacks than ordinary humans, which is shown in the ferocity and speed of swordsmanship. Or the speed of speech, mental state, and mana increase when chanting a spell to guide a spell.
As a simple example, a French saint accidentally recited the wrong spell and caused the spell to retaliate, and when the revolt came, the strong-willed saint was able to squeeze the backlash out of his spirit with strong willpower, thus avoiding the damage caused by the backlash.
Enola looked at Jory's strength level, probably around the middle level of saints, she really couldn't imagine how an intermediate saint like Jory could run to Castlevania in the first place......
Thinking about it didn't affect Enola's speed, she had wanted to go back to Dolambia. But the next day Jory woke up and told her that there was a better place for her to heal, at least much better than Dolambia, who was now putting politics in order.
Although in Enola's opinion, Jory is unconscious, his consciousness has always been very clear, if I have to describe it, when Jory was "unconscious" the night before, he was equivalent to letting his body enter a deep fake sleep, in essence, Jory is not as embarrassed as it seems.
In fact, while Enola was hurrying on her back, Jory had been communicating with the Demon Source to pass the time. And he got an interesting piece of news.
"You mean...... The city of water and wood? Gently placing Jory on the ground, Enola squatted beside him, muttering the name of the city Jory said in confusion, and she turned to Jory with difficulty: "I really want to go to the city of water and wood as you say." We're going to walk hundreds of kilometers, are you sure you'll be able to hold on? ”
"Don't worry......" Jory made a reassuring gesture, he knew what Enola was thinking, Jory said softly in a fluttering voice, "If those demons have poisons on their weapons." Then I'm already dead, don't you think I'm fine now? ”
Enola's somewhat worried eyes fell on Jory's wound, and she bit her lip and said, "Since you said so." Good ......"
Jory was picked up by Enola again, and she carried Jory in a different direction, turning around and rushing in the direction Jory pointed out.
There are some things that Jory naturally doesn't communicate with Enola, and he wakes up by coincidence, all because the Demon Gendian told him that there is a group of bold guys who want to make trouble. During psychic communication with the Demon Gento, it gave Jory some clues to the Shadow Demon that had attacked him last night.
Those four Shadow Demons did not enter the human territory for the sake of the call for war launched by the Blood Moon, and they belonged to Shadow Street, and they went behind enemy lines, all with their own goals. What made Jory particularly interested was that the Demon Source Book told him that since the projection of the Blood Moon in Castlevania, Shadow Street's reaction began to become strange, unlike the other Great Demon's lair to assemble troops, but maintained an eerie silence, not responding to the call of the Blood Moon at all, and there seemed to be some artificial force inside Shadow Street to block the influence of the Blood Moon.
Judging by the memories Jory had hunted from several Shadow Demon souls last night, Shadow Street had rebelled.
The blood moon projected by Castlevania spreads the chaotic divinity, and the brilliance comparable to the power of domination radiates to the whole continent, and the demon source code clearly issues instructions to all demons through the coat of arms, prohibiting all demons from resisting the chaotic divinity, and prohibiting them from resisting the control, but the Shadow Street is unique in taking the lead in resisting the power of the force, using silence to prove its position, and silently resisting the control of the chaotic divinity.
The reason why these shadow demons came to the human territory was for nothing else, and they had captured some memories from their souls, and their target was a human city, and someone ordered them to rush to the city of Mizuki first, and then stand by.
Shadow Street's actions are very secretive, and these four shadow demons only received orders to rush to Mizuki City, but they did not receive the target after rushing to Mizuki City. There are only two ways for Jory to find out about Shadow Street's actions, one is to kill Shadow Street and find out their leader, and the second is to go to the City of Water and Wood to see what Shadow Street is up to.
Not hesitating to betray Castlevania and take risks to be active in human territory, Jory is very interested in their schemes, with Enola, a hero admired by all mankind, I believe that his trip to Mizuki City will be very interesting.
As for the reason why they attacked Jory last night, it was very straightforward, just because Jory looked like he was human, and they happened to be hungry......
Jory was so disgusted that he wanted to kill a shadow demon when he saw it, these shadow demons who just wanted to have a full stomach, never expected that their target was the master of Castlevania, even if they probed the situation more, maybe they could find Enola taking a bath in advance, and they would flee at full speed because of fear of Enola, so as to save one.
It can only be said that the devil is not much better than the human being.
"You can use full speed, I can hold it." Jory reminded Enola out loud.
At her current speed, maintaining a steady speed of five to eight meters per second, it is estimated that it will take half a day to reach the city of water and wood, and at this moment, Jory is particularly concerned about the affairs of Shadow Street, and does not want to delay time because of the journey.
“…… Well, if you can't stand it, just say it. With a sigh, Enola slammed into her feet, and her speed of five meters per second gradually increased.
……
The City of Mizuki, a city protected by many nobles.
It wasn't built for war, but because people needed it in some way, and the city was born.
Yes, that's right, the nobles who are lagging behind in the human race have made meritorious contributions to the demons again, and have successfully spent a lot of resources on the city of Mizuki, so that some troops with insufficient military resources can only wear patches and copy the inferior weapons of the masses to the battlefield. The city was built without war, and the soldiers in the barracks were not so much warriors as ceremonies in ceremonies wearing feathered crowns, and the walls had long been used as decorations for artists. People who don't know the cruelty of the outside world are full of fighting scenes in the city of water and wood for face or fighting for women and men.
If you have to cite the military strength in the city that is quite acceptable, it is the private army of the local nobles, of course, those private armies only obey their own masters, and the lord has to look at their faces if they want to borrow them.
The current lord of Mizuki City was also young, and the former Mizuki lord was inspired to be a wise ruler, and after taking the throne, he began to work hard, wanting to completely change the atmosphere of Mizuki City, and meddle in the reform of the decadent system of the aristocracy, but it is clear that he failed, and Mizuki City is still a paradise for nobles.
Over the course of more than two hours, Enola carried Jory on her back at a speed of more than twenty meters per second, and galloped all the way to the city covered in vines and flowers.
When Jory saw this fancy city, looking at the city gate that can be described as gorgeous, the height of the city wall is kept at about twelve meters for visual beauty, and because of the need to decorate the emerald green vines, the city wall is inclined about 20 degrees, let alone defend against foreign enemies, Jory can climb from this kind of wall to the battlements even if he does not borrow special abilities and grasps these vines in his hands.
At this moment, Jory had only one sentence in his heart.
"Damn, is this mocking our Great Demon? Why don't you knock it out for this kind of city! (To be continued......)
