Chapter 42: The Plague of Rats (II)

Time passed bit by bit.

The visitor never imagined that time could pass so long, and in this world filled with rat chirping, it seemed that one more glance at the pit full of rats would swallow him.

He wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead over and over again, and the short hair that had covered his forehead was knotted into locks.

"What's your name?"

The demon suddenly spoke.

The visitor was stunned for a moment before replying, "Sextus Urrenas." ā€

The demon bowed slightly, as if savoring the meaning of the name, and said after a while, "It sounds like a Roman name." ā€

Sextus was a little nervous and said: "My family, once the governor of the province of Ravenna canonized by His Majesty Justinian, including Florence, Venice, Genoa, and the whole of Italy belonged to us, and it was the Lombards who took this land from us. ā€

The demon laughed, "It's to revitalize the family - it's good, this time you can at least take back Florence first, and if you pay enough, you will get more." ā€

Sextus shook his head in a cold sweat and said: "As long as we get Florence, it is enough, we don't dare to ask for more." ā€

"Don't dare to ask for more?"

The demon's expression grew cold.

"With such a small appetite, you dare to make a deal with a demon?"

Sextus kept his mouth shut, not daring to speak, for his father had told him before he came this time to beware of the temptations of the devil.

Otherwise, he will lose his soul and everything!

The demon stared at Sextus's face with some playfulness, as if he understood his psychology: "Hehe, have you ever heard that those who make a deal with the devil will eventually be devoured by the demon?"

Sextus's face turned pale in an instant, his upper teeth bumped against his lower teeth, making a gurgling sound, and his whole body seemed to be drenched in heavy rain.

"Hahaha, it's just a joke, don't be so nervous. ā€

His hideous claws slapped Sextus on the back, and he sneered: "Once we demons sign a contract, we are very trustworthy, and we will definitely do what we promise you." ā€

Sextus nodded reluctantly in response, but his heart was filled with a sense of foreboding.

But just like the gamblers who are already studding at the table, their Urynas family has no way out, even if they know that they will lose nine out of ten bets, they can only hope that the so-called contract can really limit this terrifying demon.

The demon suddenly spoke, "Someone is coming, I hope it's your people." ā€

Sextus nodded as if grasping at a life-saving straw, he only hoped that the people of the family would arrive sooner and let him leave this hellish world.

The demon's form suddenly vanished.

After a long while, a trembling voice sounded in the distance.

"Young Master. ā€

Sextus turned his head sharply and saw several familiar figures approaching the entrance of the cave with a corpse wrapped in linen on their backs.

The demon flew condescendingly at the very top of the underground world, and he exclaimed, "Now, throw all the corpses you have collected into the pit. ā€

Bang –

The corpse that was thrown into the pit suddenly fell into the water like a stone, and the rats first scattered in fright, and then pounced on the corpse.

A scalp-tingling gnawing sound sounded, and a moment later, the corpse that had been thrown down had turned into a white bone with dissatisfaction with the tooth marks.

The demon stared at this scene, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an excited smile: "Very good, quick, send more, and transport all the corpses you left in the courtyard!"

The first wave of corpses could not satisfy the needs of the rat colony, and some of the rats even began to crunch and bite the bones and devour the marrow in them.

Sextus almost vomited, and he hurriedly beckoned his people to carry the corpse, but he was thinking about it.

"If these rats were allowed to rush into Florence, all the family would get was a dead city. ā€

"But that's enough, if you make a deal with the demons, you will definitely be devoured by your bones if you have too much appetite. ā€

......

Inside the Cathedral of the Hundred Flowers.

Illuminated by hundreds of candles on the iron lampstand, cardinals dressed in red robes and with compassionate expressions gathered.

As if they were waiting for something, they stood silently like dusty statues, solemn and solemn.

Suddenly, a black light flashed.

The demon who was still above the rat pit just now came to the Hundred Flowers Cathedral, he looked around and sighed, "It's really a good place, it is said that this is the most gorgeous church in the whole world." ā€

No one responded, and the cardinals were indifferent.

The demon said loudly: "The plan has been launched, happy cooperation, the white feather demons of the eternal day abyss." Now, shouldn't you rejoice?"

Looking at the demon who was flaunting under the crucifix of Jesus, the cardinals were still indifferent and did not say a word.

The Demon Lama sat down on the prayer bench, his arms outstretched, his head raised, and mocked, "Why don't you speak?"

A relatively young cardinal with a solemn expression spoke: "We are from heaven, and we are servants of God, not some white-feathered demon of the eternal abyss. ā€

As if he had seen the farce of the most comical clowns, the demon burst out laughing, and even snot and tears erupted.

Shrill laughter echoed in the main hall, and if it weren't for the night watch, they would have been broken up a long time ago, and I am afraid that the guards would have arrived by now.

The cardinals' faces grew ugly.

The demon sneered, "Hahahaha, there are too many lies, you can't even believe yourselves, do you?" ā€

A cardinal stepped out, holding a cross in his hand, a golden light flashing: "If you can't stop your noisy noise, Nasrezm, this will be your burial ground." ā€

"Hahahaha. ā€

"But are you going to do it?"

A large sword engraved with golden patterns descended from the sky, and Nasrezm's form suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a mocking sneer.

"You White Feather Demons, you really don't have any sense of humor. ā€

The cardinal withdrew the cross and said in disgust: "Nasrezm, what a disgusting bunch of lowly people who deserve nothing but intrigue in the gutter. ā€

"It is because of the darkness that there is light in this world. ā€

The respected Patriarch of the Diocese of Florence lowered his eyes and said softly: "If not, how could the Maharaja allow these filthy bastards of the shallow abyss to wreak havoc on our territory. ā€

Under the candlelight, the cardinals dressed in red were still solemn, but the bright red on their bodies was like scarlet blood stains in the swaying light and shadow.

Outside the church, the dense chirping of rats gradually approached.

The Patriarch of the Archdiocese of Florence took a step forward slowly, and he turned back and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, let us come and save these lost lambs. ā€

Another cardinal asked, "Do you want to kill all these rats as quickly as possible?"

The patriarch shook his head: "Go according to the original plan, what about some ungodly souls, what about Nasrezm? After all, there is a newly promoted lord standing behind him, and there is no need to cross the river and tear down the bridge." Besides, only when the hound is well fed can it have the strength to drive us, right?"

"Your Excellency, you admire your wisdom. ā€

The cardinals said respectfully.

The patriarch shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten, please stop calling me a lord in the future, call me a seraph." ā€

......

The Tyrion Tree.

"Mr. Dante's training method is also too harsh. ā€

Lagaia looked at Leon's bruised back and grumbled as she wiped the wound for Leon.

"But it seems to be really outstanding. ā€

Like a tired and paralyzed mule, Leon was lying on the bamboo mat with his upper body bare, only to feel that his whole body was sore.

He lamented, "It's just that the technique is too complicated, and I suspect that in ten days, I can't master it at all." ā€

"Ten days?"

"Ten days later, Mr. Dante asked me to use this technique to hunt down the middle sequence demons. ā€

Leon felt a tremendous amount of pressure.

Ragaia frowned slightly: "Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?"

"It's really anxious. ā€

Thinking of the essence of this world, Leon couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"In any case, you've just become a demon hunter, and it's too dangerous for you to deal with a mid-sequence demon, even if you have him to take care of it. ā€

Lagaia said angrily: "I'm going to my mother, and I must make Dante change his plans." ā€

"Don't look for me, I'm already here. ā€

Lady Angelina walked into the room with a tray in one hand, "Lagaia, you help Leon finish all these apprentice potions tonight." ā€

"So much?"

Lagaia looked at the colorful potions vials on the tray with a look of amazement.

Angelina chuckled: "Since Leon has the possibility of achieving a high sequence, he naturally has to lay a solid foundation and maximize this possibility. ā€

"And Lagaia, you should work on it too. ā€

"It's still early, but Mom doesn't want your brother and I to erect your tomb for you in a few hundred years. ā€

"High sequence?"

Lagaia's eyes widened as she looked at Leon.

(PŠ”`qļ½” )

Obviously made an appointment to be a waste wood together, but you secretly changed it to the protagonist template?

The high sequence has already possessed divinity, is called a "demigod", and its lifespan has almost reached the point of a pseudo-"immortal", as long as it does not fall, it can live for thousands of years.

So far, I have never heard of a high sequence of deaths.

Especially wizards, even if they are only in the middle sequence, they will often extend their lifespan by transplanting the bloodline of the immortal race to themselves when their lifespan is at the end of their lifespan, and this is naturally the case for high sequences.

If Leon broke through the high sequence, she must have died before him and Lady Angelina.

Lagaia, who suddenly felt the pressure, said in a depressed mood: "But Mom, since my talent is so poor, how can I break through the high sequence?"

Lady Angelina patted Lagaia's little head and couldn't help laughing: "Actually, it's not that bad, it's much better than ordinary witches, and besides, with your mother here, there will always be a way to make you advanced, but your top priority is to lay the foundation of the middle sequence." ā€

Lagaya nodded, "I'll start practicing the Four Medium Sequence Spells tonight. ā€

Angelina touched Lagaia's head and patted Li Ang's slick back: "You two supervise each other, no one is allowed to be lazy!"
