Chapter 59: The Ancient Demon God and the Sacrificial Saintess
It was late at night, and the ancient land fell silent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The night breeze was blowing slowly, with only a few nocturnal bugs occasionally chirping in the woods.
But strangely, at the edge of an inaccessible canyon, an army was stationed. The tents erected by the army were scattered over a radius of several hundred meters, and the two tents in the middle were the most eye-catching, one of the largest with a military flag, and the other the most graceful and ornate.
At this time, a figure slipped out of a tent next to it, and crept closer to the graceful and luxurious tent. And because the main directions of the army's vigilance at this time were on the periphery, the internal patrol was relatively very relaxed, so that this figure easily came to the side of the luxurious tent. Under the faint starlight, this figure was a little pot-bellied, and a pair of eyes were embedded in the round face.
He took a breath, rubbed his hands, and then gently grabbed the curtain of the tent, and wanted to lift it.
However, before he could make a move, a cold sword was placed around his neck from behind.
The chubby man shuddered with fright, then slowly turned around and saw a burly man with his eyes closed and an expressionless face, the sword in his hand.
"Ah...... General Aki...... You...... What are you going to do here?" the fat man asked with difficulty, swallowing his saliva.
"What am I doing? I would like to ask the entourage of Both, what do you want to do when you run outside the tent of the saint in the middle of the night?" asked the burly man known as General Aki.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing...... I just want to see if the saint is asleep, and if not, I'll report to her about the progress of our trip. Bo Si laughed and said.
"You, the entourage, are supposed to be in charge of reporting to His Majesty, aren't you? Have you not listened to His Majesty's orders? No man is allowed to meet with the Holy Maiden except me! It is my ......job to report to her," General Aki said unceremoniously.
A layer of sweat oozed from Booz's fat head, "Really......? I may have forgotten...... Then I'll go back......"
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what your idea is!" General Aki snorted coldly, "Didn't you just hear that the beauty of the saint is the best in the world? This is indeed the truth, Your Majesty told me that the beauty of the saint can make all men in the world crazy." Any man who sees her will not be able to hold it. Otherwise, why do you think I want to destroy my eyes?!! you can go to see the Holy Maiden, let me gouge out your eyeballs first!"
Bo Si's legs weakened, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need...... I'll go back. ”
"It's for the best. General Aki nodded and said, "Finally, I would like to tell you that even if the Holy Maiden dies for the sake of our land, she is willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of our land, and this sentiment is worthy of everyone's respect! Not to mention, she is also the sister of our Majesty......"
General Aki said, retracting his sword.
Booz wiped the cold sweat from his head and went back to his tent with his head down.
At this time, the curtain of the tent was lifted from the inside, and a young woman with wheat-colored skin poked her head out, saw General Aki, and asked, "Your Excellency, the holy woman asked me why it is so noisy outside?"
General Aki turned his head and said, "Oh, it's Miki." Just now I had something to discuss with my entourage Bo Si, and accidentally made a louder voice, so you go back and tell the Holy Maiden, just say that everything is normal, please let her rest early. ”
Miki nodded, retracted her head, and lowered the curtain.
General Aki sighed softly, touched his chin, and whispered to himself, "There is less than a day to go from the Demon God Mountain. Alas, I hope that the saint will have her own natural appearance......"
With that, General Aki turned around and walked towards his barracks, his movements very steady, unaffected by his blindness.
......
The next day, the army moved again. Dressed in a long robe, turban, and veil, the saint stepped out of the tent and boarded a chariot, surrounded by five maids. General Aki was dressed in light armor and stepped onto a tall horse.
The army continued along the chasm in the gorge, leaving the fissure by noon and entering a wilderness filled with thick fog. Walking along the wilderness, in the evening, a towering mountain finally appeared in front of everyone.
Demon God Mountain, it's finally here!
General Aki ordered the army to stop, then walked to the chariot of the Holy Maiden and said, "Holy Maiden, there is the Demon God Mountain in front of you. According to the rules set by the Demon God, we can't go any further. For the rest of the mountain road, you can only be accompanied by a maid. ”
"Okay. A mature, somewhat charming but somewhat intellectual voice said, "Just Miki will accompany me, and everyone else will go back." ”
The wheat-skinned Miki helped the saint out of the chariot, and then said a final goodbye to General Aki, and began to walk towards the mountain.
The Demon God Mountain is too high, and based on the footsteps of Miki and the Holy Maiden, it will take about two days to reach a third of the way. And Miki just carried two or three days of dry food, and when she reached a third of the way, a low-level demon god would come to meet her, and this demon god would take the saint to the top of the mountain, where the saint would complete her final mission - sacrifice!
Both General Aki and Bosch showed a hint of amazement on their faces, but the meaning of their amaze was completely different. Then, with a wave of General Aki's hand, the army began to return the way it came. It will take them half a month to return to the national capital to restore their lives, but by that time, the saint is estimated to be no longer alive.
......
Climbing up from the foot of the Demon God Mountain, the fog gradually dissipated. By the time we were close to a third of the way, there was no trace of fog at all, and the sun shone through the clouds, giving people a warm feeling.
The saint lifted her veil, revealing a graceful and dignified beautiful face, but the lips and the corners of the eyes were extremely charming, and her countenance, like her voice, was a combination of charm and intellect. Looking at the appearance of the saint, about thirty years old, although the body is hidden in the robe, you can still feel the graceful plumpness, this is a woman who is mature to the extreme, as if she can drip water at the touch of it, but there is a hint of budding greenness between her eyebrows.
"Micky......" The saint suddenly turned her head, her voice a little worried.
"What's the matter, Holy Maiden?" asked Mickie, "Are you afraid?"
"I'm afraid......," the saint nodded, "but not as scared as you think...... I was afraid that I would not be qualified enough to fulfill the last condition before the sacrifice and not be able to save my people......"
Mi Ji felt a burst of emotion and sadness in her heart, she held the hand of the saint and said, "Saint, I will stay, you can escape down the mountain." ”
"Where can I escape?" the hesitation in the saint's eyes flashed, and then she regained her determination, "I will never escape." But you, in fact, don't need to follow me anymore. It's all here, and the demon god may appear at any time. Mickie, go down the mountain. ”
"No, saint, whether you live or die, Mi Ji will follow you!" Mi Ji's eyes were also extremely firm and persistent.
The saint shook her head, and was about to say something, when suddenly a gust of wind blew from the direction of the top of the mountain, and for a moment the sand and rocks flew away.
"When you come, don't think about leaving. You two, stay!" A loud voice sounded, and then, a body more than ten feet tall fell from the sky and fell to the ground with a thud.
......
Another world.
Lin Wei and Hongpang were staying by a quiet lake, this lake was not big, one end was next to a high mountain rock, there was a slender waterfall flowing down from the mountain, rushing into the lake, and the other end was next to a canyon, which was bottomless, and the lake also branched out into a thin stream and hung towards the bottom of the valley, but it dissipated with the wind in mid-air.
The two of them were finishing their grilled fish and lying on their backs on the grass basking in the sun.
For Lin Wei now, it is basically difficult to meet opponents. A bronze-grade mid-level beast general, in any place, is an existence that can dominate a vast and boundless territory. There are very few wandering beast generals like Lin Wei. When I first arrived at the lake, all the creatures ran away in fear. It wasn't until a few days later, when the creatures felt that Lin Wei was not dangerous, that they slowly returned to the lake one after another.
Lin Wei raised his right hand and looked at the tightly wrapped gauze, and his entire right arm looked like a mummy in ancient Egypt. He sighed, and the annoyance in his heart deepened. Lately, he has been feeling black markings seeping from the surface of his skin into his muscles. Originally, even if the black energy entered the body, it would not be visible at all from the outside, but he often had a feeling of strange energy surging in the body. The source of the movement is the right arm, and the destination of the movement is his forehead.
Just now, he felt a slight vibration in the air around his body, as if it was a harbinger of the summoning vortex about to appear. But after waiting for a while, nothing happened.
"Hmm, did you feel anything just now?" Lin Wei turned his head and asked Hongpang.
"What? no......" Hongpang was a little confused.
Is it my delusion? Lin Wei touched his forehead, but his heart became inexplicably irritable.
What Lin Wei didn't know was that his instincts were correct!--Just now, Xiao Xun did summon him, and this was the first time in history that the summoning failed when he was physically unharmed!
Xiao Xun looked at the summoning whirlpool, and worried again, could it be that something happened to Lin Wei again?
Xiao Xun didn't know that on Lin Wei's side, the summoning vortex did not appear at all.
Lin Wei sat up and was about to go swimming in the lake to relieve his boredom - he had learned the basic skill of swimming after staying in the other world for so long - and at that moment, he suddenly noticed a light red cloud flying from the sky.
