Verse 213: The Redeemer

When the moon was in the sky, in the hinterland of a mountain, a caravan was stationed.

At the outskirts of the caravan was a series of wagons carrying goods, inside which were tents, and everyone had fallen asleep, and everything was silent, except for a few places in the caravan where small bonfires were burning, and the guards assigned to the night vigil sat in several directions, holding their bodies and their eyelids could not be opened, half asleep and half awake.

This territory is still quite safe, I haven't heard of any strong bandit gangs, so these people don't care even if they keep vigil, if it weren't for the fear that the leader of the guard will come out in the middle of the night to check the post, a few of them are afraid that they would have already slept.

The howl of a lone wolf could be heard in the distance deep in the mountains behind, which was very terrible, and in such an environment, the space seemed to be a little strange.

One of the guards, who was not so sleepy, shivered, as if he had been awakened by the chill of the autumn night, and his eyes subconsciously looked around.

The place near the fire on the front left side of his left side seems to be particularly dark, a little darker than the surroundings, and by the reflection of the bonfire, he can still detect that something is wrong when he looks closely, but this guard was sleeping soundly just now, and he woke up from the first freeze and is not very clear now, and his vision is not very good, so he did not notice this subtle abnormality, and when he saw that it was generally fine, he fell back on his body and dozed off again.

So in front of this guard, a space darker than the surrounding darkness slowly moved in a certain direction, and after moving for a while, this space, which was darker than the surrounding space, stopped next to a tent.

The dark shadow stretched out to the tent and lifted the curtain of the tent.

The moonlight shone through the open curtain of the door, and the scene inside: I saw that in the tent, a layer of dry straw was laid on the dirt floor, and a man was lying on his side and sleeping soundly......

"One" person?!

The black shadow like smoke froze for a moment, and before it could make a move, the black shadow suddenly stirred wildly, and then only a scream was heard, and a figure moved sideways out of the black shadow.

The figure that moved out of the shadows was a man, and by the moonlight, it was the bard Ernest who had just been taken in in the caravan!

On Ernist's neck was a hand that held his neck tightly, and it was this hand that pinched him out of the shadows.

Extending along this hand, you can see that the owner of this hand is Chen Qinghe, who was supposed to sleep in the tent and came outside the tent at some point.

Norman, who was "sleeping" on the ground, also stood up at this time and looked at the guy in front of him who was grabbed by Chen Qinghe.

He had been sleeping well, but Chen Qinghe suddenly woke him up and told him that the bard had sneakily touched him at noon, so the two of them waited for Ernest to come to the door and pinched him.

The spell of this black shadow used by Ernest is a level 2 dark spell, which is the simplest version of the level 9 spell Endless Darkness that Chen Qinghe once cast, and its effect is to emit supernatural darkness around the designated receptor, which acts as a shield and cannot be illuminated by ordinary light. However, for Chen Qinghe, this spell was basically useless, and he could easily see through it with his eyes that had passed the effect of the "Funeral Heart Sutra".

Why did this guy sneak up on him, did he want to do anything wrong with them? But he obviously didn't offend the other party. Is their identity revealed?But this person is obviously an ordinary black-robed mage, how can he see through their identity?

Especially when Ernest is now pinched by Chen Qinghe's neck, life and death are tied to the line, it should be very frightened, but Ernest didn't struggle much after that, except for the sudden scream at the beginning, not only that, but his eyes flashed with hope!?

Norman frowned, unable to figure out the questions. But the other party is already under their control, since they can't figure it out, then just ask.

"Who are you, what do you want to do?"

Norman asked, and thought about what spells could be effective in forcing the truth - this kind of sneaky guy usually had to go through some torture to extract a confession before answering the question.

Or take out the tricks you learned when you interrogated Bunier?

Before Norman could think clearly, Ernest, who was pinched by Chen Qinghe's neck, had already struggled to spit out a few words from his neck as best he could.

"My name is Abel, and I'm here for you. ”

Norman and Chen Qinghe were stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect this person to be so cooperative, and they answered obediently when asked. And judging from the fact that Ernest provided another name, the authenticity of this answer is quite high.

So Norman and Chen Qinghe glanced at each other, and then Chen Qinghe let go of the hand that was pinching Ernist, oh no, it was Abel's neck, so that he could speak smoothly.

Noise barriers had been placed around it, so the screams just now did not spread, and it was not a matter of Abel yelling and screaming next, and as for breaking through...... Norman didn't think that a black-robed mage could escape under Chen Qinghe's nose.

After Chen Qinghe let go of his hand, Abel touched his neck and gasped for several breaths, waiting until his breathing gradually stabilized, and then he said to Norman: "Hello, respected redeemer, I have been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Norman's eyes widened in bewilderment.

What the hell is "Redeemer"? Why doesn't he know that he has such a cool title? And listening to this Abel's words, he seems to have been waiting for himself for a long time, does he know himself? But he doesn't know him? Could it be that his identity is still exposed? But in that case, shouldn't the other party call him "the Holy One" or "the Divine Messenger" to be normal?......

Chen Qinghe also looked puzzled, not knowing what was going on.

At first, they both thought it was just a simple attack, but the more they went on, the more inexplicable it became.

"You know me?"

Norman was stunned for a moment and then stared at Abel in front of him and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

Abel's reaction was even more bizarre: he nodded and then shook his head.

Is this recognition or non-recognition?

Abel's next words explain his actions: "Redeemer, I don't know you and I don't know who you are, but you are mentioned in our family's prophecy. ”

After that, Abel also consciously said what "prophecy" was.

"In the lifetime of the Sage, someone came from afar to tell the story of Capleto and to solve the Richardson family from an eternal curse. ”
