The night gradually dissipated, and the morning light spread across the sky, expelling the unfinished night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Dealing with the scars on her arms, Helena stroked her flowing silver hair and looked to the east at the rising sun.

Yesterday, when they rushed back, they intercepted the crowd trying to flee, and then fell into what seemed to be endless slaughter again.

During this night's killing, she had been fighting endlessly, and at most she was besieged by three warlocks at one time, and with great effort, she finally slaughtered them all.

And under this urgent battle, she thinks she has grown a lot.

In her blue eyes, a bright orb slowly emerged from the horizon, dazzling and bright, and she unconsciously reached out to caress the silver armor on her body, and her heart tightened.

The alchemy armor used to be shiny and shiny, with a silver-white glow on the surface, but now it was scarred, covered with all kinds of scorch marks and frost, if it weren't for this alchemy armor as her own protection, it would be difficult for her to survive last night's battle so easily.

Waving away the strong smell of blood nearby, Helena turned to look at the ruined city and walked over.

"I wonder what happened to Aaron?"

She thought silently in her heart, but she didn't worry too much, after all, these people couldn't even help her, let alone Aryan and them, who could hunt mythical creatures.

It was only after a bitter battle that she could understand the strength and calmness of others, and after this night of killing, she truly understood some of the deeper meaning of battle.

It's like waking up from a dream.

Helena finally understood how weak her former self was, how ridiculous her previous thoughts were, and some could understand what Aaron meant by that sentence at the beginning.

She can be sure that her current self can easily defeat her before, and her strength has basically not changed at all, and she is still on the same level. But Rao is now Helena, thinking of the young man in black, she still feels that the gap in strength is extremely far away, so far that in the eyes of the other party, she is almost as fragile and small as a mortal.

Walking slowly, her steps suddenly stopped, her eyes fixed on the things in front of her, and her breathing couldn't help but become short.

The ground in front of her was covered with a foot-deep layer of ash.

As the person who accompanied Aaron all the way, of course she knew what these ashes were, and she had seen the birth process of these ashes with her own eyes, and that kind of scene made her unforgettable.

Among the ashes, there were also large corpses, among which there were many warlocks in robes, most of them were mortal soldiers in armor, and there were about two or three hundred of them.

The corpses were piled up in a hill, and at the end sat a young man in a black trench coat with his eyes closed, recovering from his spirits.

His fingers curled slightly, against his temples, sitting among the large number of corpses and ashes, without any fear, his expression was peaceful, this picture of a person sitting quietly in the sea of corpses and ashes looked quite shocking, and in an instant it was deeply reflected in Helena's heart, leaving a deep imprint on it.

After a few breaths, he seemed to feel Helena's gaze, the black-haired boy opened his eyes, his eyes were warm, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and a gentle smile appeared, "Hmm? It's you, how are you?

"Huh?"

Helena was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, a flush appeared on her snow-white face, and she stammered a little: "Well, yes, I suffered a little injury, it's not a big deal." ”

"That's good. ”

Aaron nodded, secretly relieved.

After all, Helena is the daughter of the second senior brother, and he has the responsibility to protect the safety of the other party, but he was so excited that he forgot about it, and he didn't remember it until he saw her now, but fortunately it was okay, otherwise he would not be able to explain it to the second senior brother.

As he spoke, there was a piercing sound from the sky, and Lucius, who was wrapped in hard stone armor, slashed across the sky, falling to the ground with the momentum of stars falling to the nine heavens, stirring up a large cloud of dust.

"Puff, cough, puff....."

Lucius shook all the stones and disappeared, but before he could finish his handsomeness, he took a large puff of smoke and dust, and for a moment the sound of coughing and spraying continued.

It took a long time for Lucius to clean up the dust, bowed slightly to Helena, and then turned to Aaron and joked: "Aaron, I've already swept the east and north sides of the city of Terstein, and basically all the damn people are dead, as a scavenger, I think I'm quite competent." ”

"Well, I'll clean it up here. ”

Aaron nodded, rubbing his brow lightly with his fingers, "So, what about the mortals who were imprisoned, how was it handled?"

"You can rest assured that the warlocks of our academy have released them, the problem of food has been solved, and we have found the granary of Testan City, which is enough for these tens of thousands of people to live for a while. ”

After a pause, Lucius pondered his words for a moment and said again: "Moreover, I have asked the fastest warlock in the academy to inform the Comfort Empire and let them accept the mortals here as soon as possible, I think, with the acceptance of the Warlock Empire, they should not have any problems." ”

This mythical bloodline warlock from the Night Stalker Academy looks like five big and three coarse, but in essence, he is meticulous and comprehensive, and he has taken care of all aspects, even Aaron can't find anything to add.

"The Warlock Empire can't easily interfere in internal affairs, and this area belongs to our academy Zhang Guang, that's why Grand Duke Nata is so rampant, but now that everyone here is dead, there is no need to worry about this, it's a perfect way to deal with it, however, we may receive accountability from the Federation, you have to be prepared." After a few seconds of silence, Aryan stood up and reminded.

"It's okay, isn't it just killing a few mortals, don't worry, at most verbal criticism, I'm used to it. Lucius said nonchalantly, looking like he was used to it.

After speaking, he looked left and right, and said, "Why are there so few people here, why are there so many people in my two places? I killed most of the night, I really don't know where so many people came from,"

If before, Aaron replied in the affirmative, but now, "Ahem, now that the matter is settled, we should leave too, shouldn't we, Helena?"

"Uh-huh, yes, we should leave, or the dean will be in a hurry. Looking at those threatening eyes, Helena nodded in agreement.

"Are you in such a hurry? it doesn't matter if it's a little later?" asked Lucius puzzled, the Meslin District was a few days away from Ulysses Academy, and there was no problem at all with a little delay.

"Nope. Before leaving, he habitually flicked his fingers and burned the useless corpses on the ground.

Burned to ashes.

for ashes.

Ashes.

Embers.

Lucius was stunned for a moment, looking at the ashes that were exactly the same as the dust around him, he didn't know what the dust he had just eaten was something.

"...... of Aaron"

......

This is the end of the devil's sacrifice in the Merlins region.

Tens of thousands of mortal lives were sacrificed to the ritual of summoning the devil, while the culprit Grand Duke Nata died at the hands of his own steward, the accomplices were all killed by the combined hands of the warlocks of the two academies, and the mortal believers who believed in the devil were also not pardoned, and all died along with the burned corpses, and few survivors escaped.

As for whether there was a mastermind behind it? Did you kill a mortal by mistake?

All those who knew about it shook their heads and denied that the Grand Duke of Nata was the culprit, that there was no other mastermind behind it, and that no innocent mortals had survived to be killed, and that all mortals who died were devil believers.

Of course, half a month after this incident, the Russ Empire, the Night Stalker Academy, and the Ulysses Academy all received letters of criticism from the Federation because of other things.
