Section 345: On the Golden Mountain in Beijing (4)
Under the influence of Adolf's unknown forbidden spell, Douala has become a snow country once and for all.
The walls, houses, trees, streets, people, all were gone, and all that could be seen was snow.
The only discordant voice was the City Lord's Mansion.
A red and yellow curtain of light shrouded the sky above the City Lord's Mansion, stubbornly fighting against the forbidden spell.
It was the result of the desperate efforts of Cedric and the mages he brought, and in this regard, Adolf also helped them - Adolf used the main energy of the forbidden spell to attack Chen Qinghe, and Cedric's side can be said to have only been affected by the marginal power of the forbidden spell, so they can survive until now.
But this is a forbidden spell after all, even if it is only a marginal force, it is not something that these mages who are not even white-robed can fight against together.
Under the tremendous pressure of the power on the edge of the forbidden spell, the light curtain crumbled like a wave of water, constantly shrinking, and now it was completely attached to the castle, and the tall tower at the highest point could not be blocked, and was turned into an ice spire by the forbidden spell.
Beneath the light curtain, Cedric stood in the middle of the courtyard outside the hall, his face pale as he chanted incantations incantations. A mage not far from him had just finished the spell, and another layer of green light curtain rose from below and pasted into the red and yellow light curtain above, joining the camp of resistance to the forbidden spell power, and this is exactly what the mages in the courtyard are doing - constantly releasing protective spells to replenish the castle's protective power.
But even though they kept trying, they could still see the light curtain above their heads slowly descending.
In the face of the power of the forbidden spell, the powerful mages could barely make the last effort, and those ordinary people and knights had no choice but to stand by the side.
Clarence, the heroic and fearless rebel knight from before, was now standing in the corner with his hands tied behind his back, escorted by two soldiers, his head bowed, and his face was completely gray.
"Lord Aubrey,"
Clarence suddenly raised his head and spoke to Aubrey, who was standing not far from his left, "Remembering my past exploits, will you trust me one last time?" ”
Ever since the forbidden spell began, Aubrey, the lord of Douala, had been standing there looking up at the sky, unmoving, until Clarence's words came, and it took him a while to finally withdraw his gaze from the sky, and slowly turn his head to look at Clarence.
He just stared at Clarence without saying a word, and after several breaths, he finally spoke.
"You overestimate your life, this sin, even if you die a hundred times, you will not be able to wash it away, and your soul will fall into the deepest part of purgatory. ”
After saying that, he didn't care that Clarence's face was even more gray, and he withdrew his gaze, his face was extremely solemn, and his eyes were miserable.
Douala is finished, the Campbells are finished, and the countless people of Douala are finished......
Aubrey considered himself a very competent lord of the city, a good nobleman, and he even considered himself closer to the original meaning of the title "noble" than most of the great nobles.
In the most ancient times, the aristocracy was the example of the people, the leader of the people, the representative of honor, elegance, bravery, strength, fraternity, and kindness, the desire of the people, and the existence of all admiration.
Aubrey has spent his entire life working towards this goal.
He fearlessly fought against his enemies, he treated his followers and people with kindness and kindness, and did his best to protect them, and he ruled Douala with all his might, and he did not dare to slack off in the twenty years he was lord of the city.
He thinks he's done a lot more than most of the Campbell family heads in history, much better, but so what?
His ancestors may not have done as much or as well as him, but at least the Campbell family did not perish at their hands, and the countless people of Douala did not bury them......
He's sorry for the Campbells.
He's sorry for the families who followed the Campbells.
He felt even more sorry for the innocent people of Douala.
This is the most painful part of Aubrey's heart right now, and as for death, he is not afraid.
"Maybe that magical girl lady can do it. ”
A voice rang out in the courtyard.
Aubrey followed the prestige, and it was his son, Byron.
Clarence was still merciful in the end, although Byron's body had many wounds, but in fact the injuries were not serious, and they were not comparable to his hapless brother at all. Now that the wounds on his body had been bandaged simply, he was basically fine, and he was standing in the corner of the courtyard muttering to himself - the son of the city lord, who had been immersed in his own failures and could not accept it, was finally no longer immersed in his own world in the face of the forbidden spell.
"Her husband can create such a divine weapon, she should also be a very powerful mage, and she also has a dragon ......"
When people are in desperate situations, they always like to hypnosis themselves, and Byron is undoubtedly the same now.
But Byron's words suddenly reminded Aubrey.
"Shanny!"
Aubrey suddenly called out to his precious daughter.
"If I'm not mistaken, you seem to have called that Lady Magical Girl the Sage Norman, can you tell me why?"
Like her father, Shannie kept looking up at the sky, but in a purposeful direction—she kept staring at the blizzard in the sky where she couldn't see clearly.
Hearing her father's inquiry, Shanni looked away from the dense blizzard space for the first time.
She said: "Sharia should be Mr. Sage Norman, we all saw that dragon just now, Sage Norman was also for the dragon when he was in Jebel Danna before, and then disappeared without a trace. ”
Aubrey wasn't very happy with the answer: "There aren't many dragons, but there's not just one or two. And the dragon's appearance came after you recognized her as a saint, and I believe that is not the reason for you. ”
Shanni pursed her lips, looked at her father's expectant gaze, and finally said, "This lady named Sharia is actually a man, I have seen it with my own eyes, and I have had the pleasure of hearing about his incredible musical talent, which I have never heard before, and which can only be matched by the Victory that I also made for the Sage." ”
Lady Sharia, a magical beautiful girl, is actually a male! And he has a musical talent that amazes even Senny?!
If it is possible that the dragon family is accompanied by coincidences, then with these two, there are too many coincidences, right?
It's really possible that this magical beautiful girl lady is Mr. Sage, but if he is really a Sage, why did he deny it just now and choose to escape...... No, should I say that I chose to leave? This style of acting, which can almost be described as timidity and fear, is not consistent with the noble conduct of the legendary sage.
And at this moment, suddenly a huge violent sound resounded through the heavens and the earth, shocking people's hearts in fear and unable to stop.
The shouting continued, and the courtyard suddenly became noisy.
The soldiers, the nobles, who were so depressed and desperate that they did not say a word, suddenly began to chatter, and as if they were contagious, more and more people raised their heads and looked somewhere in the sky.
What's wrong?
Aubrey subconsciously followed everyone's gaze and looked up.
There was a place in the sky that had been covered in a dense blizzard and could not be seen, but now it could be seen.
There, the dragon they had seen just now flew through the air, rolling up a frenzied storm that could not be invaded by the surrounding blizzard.
In the sky above, the dark clouds rolled violently, the lightning slashed intensively, and the snow was so dense in the air that it almost pressed down in a single piece.
In between, there is a tranquil space that is very different from its surroundings. There is a lot of fog in the quiet space, and the smoke is so thick that you can't really see it, and you can only see a vague light figure in the center.
"He is indeed a Sage!"
Suddenly, another voice came, and Aubrey looked back to see that it was Cedric.
The mage had just finished casting a protective spell to reinforce the energy light curtain, and then he saw this scene in the air, which made his eyes shine with hope.
"The dragons are the noblest race, and I believe that only the saints who walk the world as divine envoys can do so today to make them bow their noble heads and bring back to life the legendary profession of dragon knight, which has been extinct since the age of mythology. ”
Really a sage?
Everyone present now had witnessed everything from the beginning of the seizure of power in the hall to the end, so they could basically guess from the dragon in the sky that the light man in the sky was probably the lady who called herself a magical beautiful girl.
But in this way, they all had the same confusion in their hearts as Aubrey: if this man was really a saint, his behavior just now was too obscene, right?
pretended to be a woman, was recognized and forcibly denied it, and ran away without daring to fight......
Among the people on the scene, even the most cowardly and despicable people could not have done such a trivial thing! let alone the legendary heroic and merciful sage?
And at this moment, Cedric had another word.
"The benevolent Sages may not have any interest in secular power struggles, but they dare to turn Douala into a living purgatory, which has finally angered the Sages!"
Everyone's confusion was solved at once!
Yes, the Sage is not cowardly, but because as a messenger of God, he is not interested in the power struggle between the world!
The great and merciful Mr. Sage has only the people in his heart, only them, the people of God the Father!
Whether it is from the beginning of the legend to step on the fire and open the way for sentient beings, or the first time to launch the forbidden spell to save all people from the suffering of war, and as for the subsequent release of the forbidden spell to redeem and forgive all sentient beings, the great sage is for the people!
He is not the Holy One of the Church.
Nor is he a saint of the royal family.
He is not a sage of some nobleman.
He is the Holy One of the people, the Holy One of all beings, the Holy One of all the Father's people!
Even if they slandered him and slandered him in their hearts, he didn't care. He suffers their pain, he is angry with their anger, he thinks what the people think, he is anxious about what the people are anxious about, and the starting point of all things is all them.
He came to this world to save their people!
What a lofty spiritual state is this?
This transcendent realm of transcending secular cognition makes the dirtiest people in the scene can't help but feel awe and reverence from the bottom of their hearts.
"The Sage is above!"
"Sage bless!"
"Great Sage, I will bless your name forever!" ......
Under the curtain of light, everyone's faces were solemn, and everyone's face seemed to be filled with divine light, even those who were more treacherous in private in the past now sincerely praised the name of that adult.
Everyone seems to have become the most devout believer.
