Chapter 0161: The Light That Pierces the Night Sky
Patrick took off his clothes, he had his own room, of course it wasn't too luxurious, but he had dreams, and when he performed well enough, he would get benefits from Salah in the future, and tonight's events would definitely impress Salah with himself, and the rewards would naturally be indispensable.
But soon there was another knock at the door, and Patrick, as the night watchman and monk of the Holy See, had to go out and see, there was a bit of a lot going on tonight.
When he reached the door, he opened the door of the church, stretched out his head, and looked for the figure, a bright light appeared, and his head fell to the ground, and rolled down the steps of the church door, and the rain hit the skull, washing the blood from the wound.
Salah continued to count his gold coins, and tonight he couldn't sleep with excitement, and he caught two wanted criminals of the Holy See, and soon he would receive a large bounty, when his fortune would at least double. "Gold, gold, my good friend, you make people crazy, look at the rich people, they are extravagant, and I will treasure you, now know how much I love you. ”
There was some strange noise outside the door, he didn't know what it was, but he didn't care, there was nothing more appealing than wiping a gold coin.
The sound became more and more frequent, and he felt that something was wrong, and put the gold coins back into his little vault, Salah walked to the door, he opened the small window, but he couldn't see the aisle outside, it was too dark, and the sound became clearer, but he couldn't tell what it was. "Damn the guys, be quiet. ”
The voice was quiet for a moment, and as he tried to close the window, footsteps sounded in the hallway, clucking, coming towards him.
Salah got a little angry and muttered, "Damn it, it's not sleeping at this time, what do they want to do." He opened the door and wanted to go out and teach the guy who was running around in the middle of the night.
When he opened the door and walked out, he lost his voice when he saw what was going on in the hallway.
In the dark hallway, there were corpses lying in the doorways, making a sound as the blood flowed, and there was a figure closest to him, half-kneeling on the ground, holding a knife in one hand and pressing the other hand on the ground, muttering in his mouth.
"Great God, send them to hell in your name. ”
Then the figure stood up and walked towards Salah, who did not know what was happening and cried out in fear: "Who are you and what happened?"
When he got close enough, he saw the face of the person who came, it was the paladin, the traitor of the Holy See, how could he be here, Salah retreated into the house, he wanted to close the door, but it was too late, the blade reached in, blocking his next move.
Salah opened the door and fled frantically to the closet, opening the cabinet, the door behind him was opened, and there was a sound of footsteps, and the huge thunder and lightning outside the house drowned out all the sounds here, and the light of lightning almost overshadowed the lights in the room, making the light in the room flicker on and off.
Salah took out a scepter from the cupboard, the tip of the scepter flashed brightly, and he looked horrified at the paladin who was covered in blood as I held the knife. "How could you escape. ”
The paladin's eyes were blood-red, and he stared at the archbishop in front of him. "The rope will also understand that justice needs someone to preside, it let me go, and now I should swing the knife for justice. ”
Salah never believed in justice, holding up his scepter and facing the paladins. "Look at you now, what justice there is, but you are just a murderer, a butcher. ”
"Sometimes justice needs blood, and then use blood to prove that you are responsible for Pugna's death, that he was a good man, and that you killed him. ”
"Come on, Pugna is a nice guy? That's the biggest joke I've ever heard. "No one knows better than Salah what once Pagna did, who, like him, was once a lackey of the Holy See.
"He may not have been before, but he definitely is, but I don't believe you're going to repent like Pugna. The paladin moved forward slowly, full of hatred and anger.
"I'm not going to repent like him, what do I get? Dead end, to hell with justice and goodness, damn it. Salah roared, the scepter in his hand flashing brightly, and electricity twinkling. "Mackay's Scepter, punish the demon in front of him and send him to hell. ”
Mackay was an ancient mage who was proficient in arcane magic, and the staff he made himself was named after him, and possessed the ability to wield thunder and lightning, the equivalent of a mage with the Golden Scepter badge.
The bright electricity hissed as a bolt of lightning burst through the window, converging on the Makai's scepter, and a violent current struck the paladin's body.
Cybertron's body trembled violently, and the blade in his hand quickly shattered due to the attack of the electric current, turning into fragments and falling to the ground.
The paladin's teeth chattered, his body became distorted, and blue electricity constantly acted on his body, causing his body to emit white smoke.
"Look, that's what happens to justice and goodness, what do you get. Salah stared at the paladin in front of him and let out an eerie laugh.
When the electric current hit to a certain extent, the paladin's body emitted a strong light, and the burnt skin began to appear silvery-white light, which quickly enveloped his body, his eyes glowed as bright as day, and two huge white wings were born on his back, and the hilt of the knife turned into a silver-white spear, and the tip of the spear was like a round of sun, illuminating the entire room.
"Justice does not die. The paladin let out an empty loud noise that circled the room, and the blue lightning began to disappear from his body, engulfed in a golden light.
Salah looked at the sudden change in the paladin in front of him, not understanding what was happening. "What's going on, no way, what did you do. ”
"As I said, justice never falls. "The paladin's consciousness was not occupied by Vermaelen this time, his consciousness was clear. As for the changes that are taking place in front of him, he doesn't have time to think about it.
The arcane electricity of Makai's Scepter went out, and it was useless like an ordinary wooden staff, and the powerful magical artifact had to surrender to the Spear of Holy Punishment.
Salah was terrified, brandishing the ineffective Makai Scepter and shouting, "Hurry up, damn the Scepter, whatever he is, kill him." ”
Cybertron reached out and grabbed the tip of Makai's scepter, his silver-white arm filled with power, causing a crack to appear at the tip of the staff, and then cracked, falling to the ground in pieces.
Salah discarded the malfunctioning Makay Scepter, and he tried to escape to the window and jump out, but the paladin had already taken precautions, his white wings obscured the window, and Salah could only flee to the corner, his face pale, his eyes showing fear, and his fingers caressing the church badge on his chest. "Great Pope, please save me, I do things for you, meticulously, I don't want to die. ”
The badge emitted a faint glow, nothing to mention in front of the radiance of the paladin's silver-white armor, and walked up to the terrified cardinal, who reached out and tore off the other's red coat, discarded it aside, and shouted angrily, "You are not worthy of this red robe, and even less worthy of the badge on your chest." ”
He continued to reach out and pull the badge off Salah's chest and discard it on the ground, the badge had been deformed and had lost its faint luster.
"Scum, you have insulted the Light, and the Holy See will not tolerate you to live, let it die. Cybertron grabbed Salah by the neck with one hand, pushing him against the wall, his feet gradually off the ground, Salah's breathing became difficult, and he tried desperately with both hands to push away the hand that was holding his neck, but in vain.
When the soles of Salah's feet were a foot off the ground, Cybertron raised the Spear of Holy Punishment, the tip of which pierced Salah's head, and he was nailed to the wall, his head bleeding, his eyes hollowed, his eye sockets collapsed, and his body quickly turned into a pair of skins.
Pulling out the spear of holy punishment, looking at the terrifying appearance of the dead Salah, the paladin let out a terrible laugh, the thunder and lightning outside the window became more violent, the rain became heavier, as if someone had poured it down in a basin, he turned and left the room, found the cell, picked up the already stiff Bagner, and left the Holy See.
The downpour and thunder and lightning had finally silenced the city of freedom, and the streets were deserted, and the paladin carried the corpse of Pagna and walked forward in the pouring rain, leaving Hawke, he climbed a high mountain, the muddy mountain road had no effect on his movements.
When he reached the top of the mountain and placed the body on the ground, Cybertron looked up at the lightning sky and shouted angrily, "Justice is never on time. The thunder and lightning in the sky instantly became a little more violent.
He fell to his knees and dug a large pit with his hands to bury the dead Pugna, the rain turning the new grave into a quagmire.
At this time, the paladin's gaze changed, his eyes were no longer scarlet light, they became pure and transparent, he stood up and looked at the sky. "Paladin, you should forget some of what just happened. The white light gradually disappeared from the paladin's body, and Cybertron's body returned to its original form and collapsed in the heavy rain.
Today's rain was a bit heavy, and it was not very suitable for a dilapidated carriage to go on the road, so Downing decided to delay the night in Hawke, and it was not too late to wait until tomorrow to get on the road, standing in front of the window and admiring the appearance of the raindrops falling on the ground, thinking about the next plan.
But a white light in the sky broke his thoughts, looking at the fleeting white light, Tang Ning frowned, he clearly knew that it was the Vermalen stored in the paladin's body, the guardian holy light, it seems that something happened tonight, so that the Vermalen in the paladin's body woke up again.
Originally, the paladin found out his true face after it was irretrievable, to resolutely leave himself, without the paladin to get the next badge fragments, he had to find other ways, but he found that except for Cybertron, which has the power of the guardian, other methods seem to be not very mature, so the next step is to rely on this paladin to persuade him to serve him, and the situation of the paladin appearing in Hawke is undoubtedly extremely advantageous.
