CHAPTER VI Restoration
In the blink of an eye, Song Chengjie has been back to the team for ten days. In the past ten days, except for the first night, when the King of Earth sent his own men, the school was unusually quiet for several days. What is surprising is that the Crucifixian Pope in the Vatican actually agreed to the Hongchuan Cathedral to maintain the current configuration of one marshal and two horses, and it is possible to send some ordinary exorcists of the Holy Horse Regiment to reinforce it.
Although his reason was to prevent the Earth King's counterattack, Hayato knew that in recent times, the entire Crucidian Sect, whether it was the English faction or the Roman faction, had begun to mobilize their forces to strengthen the combat power of the various ministries under the deployment of the Pope.
Because the blood clan, which had been silent for two years, suddenly made a move.
On that night known as the "Night of Sacrifice" two years ago, the elders of the Blood Clan led countless Blood Slaves and low-level Blood Clan warriors under their command to deal a devastating blow to the defense line of the Shield of Justice, and if it were not for the fact that the chanting and spells against the Blood Clan had been developed quite well, the Shield of Justice would not be an opponent of the Blood Clan by virtue of its numerical superiority alone.
In the later high-end battle situation, the heads of the branches of the Shield of Justice and the marshals stationed in the states barely suppressed the attack of the blood clan at the cost of almost all the serious injuries.
The Bloodline has a life long enough to ignore time, a dark magic that is so powerful that even the demons who are good at magic are afraid of it, and some of the bloodlines with pure blood have special abilities inherited from their ancestors. If it weren't for the fact that with the change of years, the bloodlines of the high-level blood clan have become more and more mottled, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the human race to achieve the current prosperity, of course, this is also because of the hatred between the blood race and the demon race since ancient times, so that the human race has slowly developed in the gap between the two powerful races.
In the past two years, the Bloods that had been defeated during the Night of the Sacrifice had completely disappeared as if they had never appeared, but the almost forgotten Bloodlines suddenly became active at this time, and the Crucifixion, who commanded the entire shield of justice, had to be put on guard.
However, although the overall situation is now in a state of great unification, the power competition between certain high-level leaders has not been completely eliminated......
"Why are they so embarrassed about Cheng Jie? Even if the Holy Wind Thorn cancels the contract with Cheng Jie, then it won't look down on the descendants of those old things. What are you kidding, the sword of the shield of justice, the inside of the Holy Knights is like this!"
Hayato vented angrily in the office, smoking a cigarette with an extremely ugly face: "What do you mean 'you can't fight, so what do you want him to do in the position of the first horse'? You've only been back for a few days and you're going to go to the front line, and this group of people is really short-circuited in their heads. ”
Song Chengjie leaned against the wall and chuckled: "The Holy Wind Thorn does not terminate the contract, if I unilaterally force it to be terminated, the spiritual backlash must not be underestimated...... That group of old guys obviously knew this, and they even came to ask today. It seems that it is time for me, the youngest chief knight in history, to make a reappearance. ”
Song Chengjie's current strength, although his physical fitness is not much stronger than ordinary people, he still has the spiritual power that can exorcise demons and the assistance of the Holy Wind Thorn, so ordinary monsters pose little threat to him. But even so, if a person who has lived an ordinary life for two years suddenly goes to participate in patrols and something like that, it will inevitably be dangerous when fighting.
On this ground, the Paladin's higher-ups forced him to forcibly terminate the contract. And once he is terminated, not only will his own strength be greatly reduced, but because the contract is deeply intertwined with the soul, if he is forced to terminate it, he may even become a walking dead with an incomplete soul.
But knowing this, some high-ranking members of the Holy Horse Regiment still used their position to try to pressure Song Chengjie to terminate the contract of the Holy Wind Thorn, so as to vain hope that the Holy Wind Thorn could choose their heir to take over the position of the first horseman.
Of course, the reason why they are like this is because there is too much difference between the status and treatment of ordinary exorcists and the first rider. But because of this, they also violated the greed in the seven sins, and the moment the idea of persecuting Song Chengjie arose, it is estimated that they are already doomed to never be able to make any progress for the rest of their lives, and they may even be punished by God......
"Well, it's time for my brother to move, if he is just on standby for urgent tasks as before, they will think that there is a problem with his brother's strength. Song Chengyin sat on the sofa and took a sip of the black tea in the cup as he spoke, "But brother, are you sure it's okay?" ”
Song Chengjie shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The strength I can exert now is about forty percent of what I used to be...... But if it's just to establish prestige, that's enough. ”
"They shouldn't be doing anything lately, because the Pope's mission needs to be completed as soon as possible. You're not going to school lately, I'm going to train you, at least to keep their mouths shut. Hayato extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "As for the higher-ups, I don't believe they can think of me." ”
"I'm going to school. Unexpectedly, Song Chengjie did not accept Falato's suggestion, "So the training can only be carried out at night by bothering the marshal, and it must be overloaded training, only in this way can the power of the Holy Wind Thorn itself be stimulated to transform my body, so that I can steadily improve my strength in a short period of time." ”
"Even if it's to channel the power of the Holy Wind Thorn, it's too hard for you to do this. Hayato vetoed Song Chengjie's plan without hesitation, "If you arrange it like this, you won't even have time to rest." ”
Song Chengjie shook his head and looked at Hayato with a very firm gaze: "But there is not much time left for me." ”
The argument between the two reached an impasse, and the room suddenly fell silent.
"Marshal, you just beat him half to death every day...... If you don't agree, according to this guy's personality, it is inevitable that he will not go out to find excitement, and then it will be the real trouble. Wang Bin crossed his arms and looked at Song Chengjie coldly, and his seemingly merciless words did not hide the worry in his eyes.
The three of them were silent for a while, Hayato snorted very unwillingly, took out a cigarette and skillfully lit it for himself, and turned to look at the church outside the window: "Spiritual artifact, as the name suggests, is a spiritual lodge artifact. The spirit in your holy wind thorn is called the Sigh of the Wind, and if it is willing to lend you its power, you will be able to return to your previous level in less than ten days. But these 10 days will be extremely painful, so you have to be prepared. ”
"Don't worry. Song Chengjie agreed casually, but there was a faint agitation in his heart. In the past two years, even the high-level of the Holy Knight Regiment has unknowingly begun to be infected by the Seven Sins, and the exorcist who is contaminated with the Seven Sins has greatly reduced his spiritual power is unable to fight against the Demon Clan no matter what, "Tsk, this is trouble......
After that, everything seemed to be under control, Song Chengjie underwent almost brutal training all night every day, and then during the day while going to school, he urged the power of the sigh of the wind to wash his meridians, heal his wounds, and occasionally serve as Xiao Jiaying's personal tutor, and his daily rest time was compressed to less than three hours.
The intense training took a huge toll on his body, which made him look like he was sick all the time. And Xiao Jiaying unconsciously began to take care of some of his daily life, in addition to occasionally coming to ask for advice, she often brought some snacks and other condolences.
But there is always a reward for the effort. The overload of training also made Song Chengjie's strength improve by leaps and bounds, and within a week he had almost recovered to the level of two years ago, but the training in the next few days had little effect.
At this time, Hayato decisively stopped his daily training and began to let Song Chengjie lead the team out for inspection.
This is like a bucket, Song Chengjie's strength is like the water in it, after two years of slackness, although the water is much less, but the size of the bucket is still there, as long as you add water to it, you will see the results;
At this time, what Song Chengjie needed most was actual combat, and he needed a lot of actual combat to consolidate the strength he had just recovered.
"It looks like we're going to be in vain today. Wang Bin, who was quietly jumping on the roof of the building through the night, smiled helplessly, "Why are there so few monsters in the past few days, I haven't seen one in two days." ”
Song Chengjie followed Wang Bin's side, although it was the return trip to the church, he was still very vigilant: "But this is fine, at least it can ensure the stability and stability here." ”
There were four exorcists behind them, and although they didn't participate in the conversation, they were proud to see that there were no monsters in their jurisdiction, which was the result of their exorcists patrolling around every night.
"Exorcism...... Division......"
Suddenly, a long and hoarse voice came from the darkness, and then two pitch-black tentacles burst out from below and rushed straight towards Song Chengjie and his group of six.
Song Chengjie was the first to react, flexibly controlling the wind pressure to lower his figure and block a few people, raised his hand and pinched a sword finger on his chest: "Huh!"
A flash of golden light was heard, and only two bell-like sounds were heard, and this sneak attack was declared a failure.
"The light is shining, who is hiding in the dark?" The four exorcists were very tacitly compatible, and as soon as they stood firm, they began to chant at the same time, and suddenly a warm and soft light expelled all the black shadows around them, and the original hidden monster was also revealed.
"High-level monster, night shadow ......" Song Chengjie recognized the name of this black shadow that was constantly shrinking in size under the light, and at the same time, with his arms waving together, the wind with thousands of wisps of chanting incantations gently swept around the monster, instantly turning it into nothingness.
"You seem to have grown a little bit better than you did in two years. Reciting the four exorcism spells silently, and using the wind chant as a carrier, even the variations are constructed in an instant...... Worthy of the youngest. Wang Bin didn't make a move, just watched quietly from the side, but was obviously shocked.
Song Chengjie breathed a sigh of relief, and the prototype of the Holy Wind Thorn instantly appeared on his arms, and with a sharp swing at Wang Bin, a wind blade rose into the air and wiped the tips of Wang Bin's hair, cutting a centipede-like monster that quietly appeared behind him into two: "It seems that this guy just now was just trying to attract us down, but in a few seconds, we were surrounded?"
Wang Bin raised his hand and took off the cross staff behind his back, and his eyes swept around coldly: "One second-class demon, three first-class demons, eleven high-level demons......"
"All the people obeyed and gathered together. The four of you are responsible for keeping those high-level monsters in check, and we'll take care of the rest. ”
It was just an unknown battle in an inconspicuous corner of the huge city, but there was a man holding a goblet in one hand, fiddling with a pitch-black but translucent sword in the other, and the magic pupils glowing with a faint blue light looked at the small battlefield in the distance, and seemed to be watching with great interest.
King of the Earth, Kiln.
"It's just time to try the power of the second generation......" As he spoke, he slowly pressed down the Black Crystal Knife in his hand, and a painful ** suddenly came from the place where the knife fell, "Do you say, Shadow Elder? It really took me a lot of effort to restrain the blood of your blood clan." ”
Under his sword, a body that was already riddled with holes wriggled in pain, and around him were layers of black spells, thick blood surging around him like mist, but no matter what, these spells could not seep out at all. He struggled to prop up his head, and a pair of blood eyes stared at the king of the earth with resentment: "Führer...... Will avenge me!"
The King of the Earth smiled incomprehensibly, raised his hand and took a sip of red wine: "Then please rest in peace, Shadow Lady." ”
