Chapter 43: The So-Called Evil
In front of the Judgment Castle, the neat white streets are potholed, and the buildings on both sides are in tatters.
After the initial panic, under the command of the Temple of Light, the combatants were all deployed in place.
Frail mages harass Diggie from a safe distance, chanting low spells from afar, priests supporting wounded warriors, and white and soft buffs are put to use in the melee class that besieges Diggie.
The hand-to-hand combat knights of light, wielding their great swords, desperately restrained, this powerful demon suddenly appeared, forcing it into an open field, and the warriors not far behind them belatedly, armed with axes, greatswords and other weapons, brewing anger and began to take place.
Gradually, Diggie found that his actions were becoming more and more constrained, although the villains around him could still be easily killed, from the original one-hit kill, to two kills.
In addition, the spell attacks from the top of the head are even more continuous, accumulating little and small, causing various small scars to slowly appear on its tough leather surface. Before you know it, it's already showing signs of wheezing.
More and more combat professions came to support, and Diggie's life began to be uncomfortable.
Far away on the side of the road, Romeo hugged the sleeping black cat, admiring its tired fight with the trapped beasts besieged by everyone. His face was solemn, and he clenched the thin sword at his waist in one hand, like many people who had no ability and could only watch from afar.
"Praise the light, and hope that the Temple of Light will destroy the demons soon. He muttered under his breath, already brought into the role.
"yes, it's supposed to be over. An old woman on the side bent her waist and agreed with his thoughts, with a look of resentment: "I just don't know why a demon suddenly appears here, damn the demon! My poor boy, I wanted to marry a valiant knight, but I didn't expect ......"
Romeo's face was heavy, and he was distressed and relieved: "Your child must be very beautiful, right?"
"Yes, she has long golden hair, like a warm sun. It's almost the same as when I was younger, and it came out of a mold, ahh The old woman said and hid her face in sorrow and cried: "Why is it not me who died, but her?" I still remember that when I went out today, she was dressed up very beautifully, saying that she was going to a ball. ”
Her withered hand trembled as she pointed to a collapsed upscale tavern, grief-stricken: "She's never been so pretty, really. She must have been the star of that ball. ”
Edge, seconds are unspeakable~
Romeo heard this, his words playful, but his tone was sympathetic and relieved, "Yes, I was also lucky to escape from that tavern. I also met your daughter in there, she was really beautiful! I thought I was in love. ”
"Really?" the old woman looked up at the gentleman's sunny heroic swordsman, and was even more sad in her heart: "You are so handsome, my poor mushroom is cool, ahh
"It's okay, her beautiful moment has been forever in my heart (belly). Romeo said, tapping her on the shoulder with one hand, and proposed:
"I remember there was a nice little church in the town with a very kind and knowledgeable priest and bishop. After I went, he said that I recommended it, and he would pray for you to be blessed, ma'am. ”
He pulled out a small notebook from his pocket, tore off a page and wrote an address. Then he handed it to the old woman solemnly and said seriously: "The light is above, may you find comfort in him." ”
"Thank you, handsome swordsman. You're a good boy. Trembling Weiwei took the address, and the old woman eagerly went to the chapel, hoping to pray to the gods as soon as possible, so that her daughter could enter the embrace of light.
"Be careful on the road. Romeo smiled kindly, quite brightly. Because the chapel took advantage of the gap between the town guards and the exterminated Diggie, and had already begun a bloody sacrifice ceremony, and the sacrifice was still one missing.
Watching the poor old woman go farther and farther, he also lost interest in continuing to watch the battle. As if lamenting his own powerlessness, Romeo walked to the defensive camp outside the town.
On the pupils, there was a bloody sacrifice being staged in the small church on the edge of the town:
Belch....
A poor man who had come to pray was cleanly wiped on his neck. A mysterious man dressed in black who had wrapped himself tightly in black skillfully threw him on the pile of corpses in front of the statue of the praying god.
"Robin, how many are left?" he asked, squeezing his throat and furry.
A man in black who bleed the corpse replied impatiently: "Don't worry, there is still one missing." Pilgrim Bala (similar to 'mommy pull' mouth fetish), can't you be a little patient?"
"We're betrayals, deserters, what do you say, if we don't succeed..."
The man in black, who had bled and used the blood to draw the circle, interrupted him: "Me and you, and the child we brought will all die!" ”
He paused, and then made a humble suggestion: "Why don't we give up?" and throw away this secret garment (Note 1), and we will have nothing to do when we go back. ”
"Go back?" said the man in black as he walked towards the door, "continue to be cannon fodder? remember how Jack died? was eaten by the devil in front of us!
It was as if a cathartic valve had been opened: "When we came, how many people were in our team, didn't you count in your heart? What about now? It's just me and you, and a few daydreaming recruit fools." We're human! It's not a consumable from the Temple of Light, and no matter how much money we give, can we get our lives back?"
"Do you want to die on that meaningless battlefield? Anyway, there are so many people up there, what can you do without the two of us?" Walking to the door and waiting for the sacrifice to enter, he finally said bitterly, "Do you want Lisa and Little Jack to lose our two fathers? If you don't mind, just give up! I'm not going to give up anyway, I miss my Martha. ”
I struggled for a while.
"You're right...... the bloodletting man in black's trembling hand regained his composure and muttered, "Just go back, I want to too." ”
......
The ritual continues, and the corners of Romeo's mouth curl up. I don't know if I thought I would meet Juliet right away, or something else. He was in a good mood and muttered some fragmentary words to himself: "What is evil? It is better to hurt others, and it is better to be better than yourself." And people are selfish, so our days are very nourishing..... Little Devil~"
Walking among the huge tents stationed on top of each other, he talked to people all the way and seemed quite popular.
Perhaps because of his illustrious family background, or perhaps because of his outstanding interpersonal skills, everyone seemed to know him everywhere he went, and had a very good impression of Romeo.
"It's okay, I'll tell you, Uncle Hank. The inside of the Judgment Castle is quite spectacular, it is simply a miracle..... Praise the light!" waved goodbye, a heavy armored man passing by, Romeo had just turned around with the black cat in his arms, and saw Juliet in front of their team's tent, looking at him with a complicated expression.
"I didn't expect you to be innocent. She said.
"I have always been a faithful believer in the Goddess of Light, beautiful mage~" He bowed to Juliet and asked with an anxious look in his eyes, "Is the captain's injury okay?"
"It's serious again. The white-clothed priest Wren, who walked out of the tent and saw Romeo returning from the team, said and lifted the curtain, "You should come and see, you cured it last time." I envy your erudition, Sir Romeo. ”
"Where, I've just read a lot of books, but I'd rather slay demons like you. Romeo hurried into the camp tent and went to the bed to check on the captain's injuries.
....... The other end.
The battle in front of the Judgment Castle ended at this time, and Diggie finally fell outnumbered.
In the meantime, it was not without thinking of escaping, but the villain around him was like a madman, suicidal to stop him. The knights of light, in the end, turned into a ball of bright light, trapped it and shouted, "Attack me!
So, in the torrent of mana jointly released by the mages, Diggie was corroded by the huge elemental impact along with these iron cans.
In a trance, he found that he was being placed on Romeo's shoulder, and the sleeping black cat woke up and immediately transmitted: "They are alive, aren't they?"
While carefully untying the shield warrior's gauze, a magnetic male voice sounded faintly in his head: "So they are sick and need us to heal." ”
