Chapter 9: Volcanoes
The rain kept falling.
Roy stood in the rain, quietly staring at Pullman's body.
The redness in his eyes gradually faded, but the pain and hatred in his heart did not disappear with Pullman's death. On the contrary, the scene on the banks of the Frost River became clearer and more unforgettable as it was replayed over and over again.
It was a little boy of more than two years old, a forgotten memory.
When he began to remember, the impression of life was that of endless wanderings, of the ice and snow, of the bitter cold and heat, of hunger and thirst, of tiredness and pain, of crying and holding a knife, of stabbing into the body of a ferocious beast, of chasing in the jungle, of being covered with scars, of learning in the market, in the slums, among the crooks and thieves.
William gave him a cruel childhood without explanation.
But Roy's heart is cheerful and free.
After he was injured, as soon as he was able to get off the ground, he would run to see the small treasure chest he had hidden in the hollow of the tree.
There were beautiful stones he had picked up, strange plants, teeth he had lost, carved puppets, knives, and a few copper sanis that he had secretly saved.
He would go hunting with Oliver.
Pull the species-neutral dog away from the rabbit, and then make a fire to barbecue, and take a bite with Oliver.
Everywhere he went, he would happily make friends with the people around him, he would lead a band of dwarfs everywhere to make trouble, he would learn to ride wild men on horses, howl and bark, make spears out of animal bones, and run barefoot in the fields.
He didn't know why Grandpa William wanted him to learn so many things, he didn't know why he trained himself like a warrior, and even if he later learned his identity, he always felt that everything was far away from him.
This Roy, not that Roy.
What I carry is hatred that does not belong to my life.
However, when he was in the magic tower of Noiotans, through the long river of history, after witnessing and witnessing everything or everything, Roy, who had been sleeping in his blood, woke up.
And today, when he stabbed the sword in his hand into Pullman's vest, the two Roys became one.
The memories of life before and after are fused together in this moment.
It's an amazing feeling.
Hatred swelled in his heart, but Roy's mind was clear and calm.
Roy is grateful to Grandpa William.
It is precisely because the old man has never instilled those things that he will not be distorted and blinded by hatred at this moment, like many people.
Revenge is about making those who should pay for their actions, not suffering for themselves.
The rain, drenching Roy's clothes, drenched his hair, and slid down his face and neck.
At his feet, Pullman lay on his side in the mud, and the blood flowed out with the rain, forming small red streams, spreading in all directions, smearing in the stagnant water, and then being washed away by the rain.
As if he hadn't expected himself to die here so easily, Pullman's eyes were still open.
Die with a grievance or everlasting regret!
For such an important figure as him, this simple way of dying is a huge mockery of his life. It turned out that the cardinal archbishop, who had monstrous power and looked down on all living beings from above, was a strong man in the world, and in the wilderness outside this cold mountain city, he was no different from a pig under the knife of a market butcher.
Roy slaughtered him neatly, without giving him more respect than a pig.
On the Sword of Judgment, the last trace of blood dripped down the rain, and Roy's hand shook, and the long sword pulled out a sword flower, carving two lines of large characters on a rock next to it.
"Sixteen years ago, on the banks of the Frost River. ”
"It's the first one!"
Collecting his sword, Roy turned to look at his followers.
Morton had disappeared into the rain, Xiangxiang leaned against a big tree, the Iron Old Patriarch sat cross-legged, the three bone dragons were rare and honest, the Star King was wrapped in a thick armor, like a sculpture, and the demons exuded the smell of lava, and the rain fell on them and was evaporated in an instant.
Everyone was silent.
"Let's go. Roy laughed.
Seeing the young man's smile that he didn't take seriously, and seeing the eyes that had regained their clarity, it was as if some prohibition had been lifted, and the atmosphere suddenly came alive.
The three-headed bone dragon came up one after another, and as they walked, they triumphantly showed their skills, and the demons chattered and kept gesturing.
Xiangxiang smiled, and her figure disappeared in the forest. The dwarven patriarch opened the flask, took a long sip of wine, read deeply at the writing on the rock, and left with his tomahawk on his shoulder.
After a prayer hour, a few bold powerhouses of Cold Mountain City met and came to this place to investigate together.
When they saw Pullman's corpse and then the words on the rock, everyone's eyelids jumped, and a look of extreme horror flashed in their eyes.
The earth-shattering public case back then can be said to be known to everyone, and no one knows about it.
That's a big case involving the top powers of the royal family, the Holy See, the Prime Minister Donald, the Renault family of the Tomahawk Knights, and the Duchy of Farrington.
Among them, any party stomping on the foot is an earthquake.
And the entanglement of the distribution of interests involved in this public case, the open and secret conspiracies behind it, is even more pitch black, just thinking about it makes people's vests chill.
Add to that the blood curse Sara left on the banks of the Frost River......
Looking at everything in front of them, at this moment, everyone only felt creepy.
It turned out that the Holy See turned out to be the murderer...... At least one of them!
And the death of this ascetic in the Holy Realm is only the beginning of a revenge...... What a terrifying target should that mysterious avenger be?!
The secret of the year was just the tip of the iceberg!
Everyone knows that something big is wrong!
It's like a volcano that has been suppressed by countless people desperately, and finally erupts after 16 years of brewing, which will shake the mountains and change the color of the heavens and the earth!
After a long time, someone finally made a decision.
"Go back to the city and let the district bishop be called, we can't handle this matter. ”
......
......
The next day, when Roy stepped onto the Sky Demon Ship, Cold Mountain City was completely in chaos.
The army was mobilized in large numbers, the lords and knights were like facing a great enemy, the doors of the churches in the city were closed, and the believers of the Holy See were all looking panicked, and many people came from other places overnight.
Pullman's body was returned to a local church in Cold Mountain City, and his identity has been confirmed.
A cardinal archbishop died.
Simple, easy, on a thunderstorm afternoon, he was slaughtered like a pig.
His body was completely out of shape. According to some powerhouses in Cold Mountain City, it was a battle in which at least many of the Sacred Domains participated, and this ascetic should have been tortured to death.
Then, the news began to spread, and the whole city was talking about the battle outside the city yesterday, about the dead ascetics of the Holy Land, and the inscriptions on the rocks.
There are already rumors!
The most shocking and convincing rumor is the appearance of the long-vanished heir of Farrington.
For sixteen years, the boy's life and death have been a mystery. No one knows for sure if he is dead, or if he is alive and hiding in some unknown place, or maybe even living next to everyone.
Originally, everyone thought that he would never appear again, and they all thought that the events of the year had been annihilated with the flow of history, and they all thought that the legendary blood curse was nothing more than unfounded hearsay.
But now, everything that I thought would not happen just started so suddenly.
Message, far faster than the empty demon ship.
As countless falcons flew in all directions, when the empty demon ship landed in the imperial capital, and Roy's feet set foot on the land of the imperial capital, the entire Saint Soran Empire had already been turned upside down.
