Chapter 167: Poor
Hugo entered the castle when he followed the Brown Knight, and the first thing that caught his eye was the exorcist Thomas who knelt in the center of the hall, he was covered in blood and lifeless, holding a corpse, and the blood flowed down the robe to the surrounding ground, and suddenly a tragic, tragic, and sacrificial atmosphere wrapped around everyone, and everyone stood around him from a distance, and for a while they were silent!
The crow stood in the corner in awe, no one knew more clearly than him what happened in that short moment, the collision of light and darkness, the sacrifice and salvation without hesitation, as if it was a fateful duel, and in the end, the power of Merlin burst out was able to destroy the powerful resentful spirit, it was incredible! If every exorcist could live and die without hesitation like these two people in front of him, then the Holy See was really too terrifying!
This is ... Is this the power of faith? Was Jesus really just a white wizard as the wizards say? Wasn't he really a god who controlled the human soul?
The crow's face kept changing and he stood in the corner, and he fell into some kind of indescribable emotion, in fact, he didn't know that many people who did not believe in God became devout disciples in the first place, and they were similar to his situation!
When human beings are faced with unbearable suffering, the torment that goes straight to the heart, the unexplained awe and the despair of losing everything, they will subconsciously look for sustenance that they can rely on, and at this time, a beam of light suddenly appears in this dark world where there is no hope and no future! This light suddenly splits this nostalgic darkness and shines on the humble people who are prostrate on the ground, which is the beginning of pious faith!
God created the world in seven days! Every day is gradual, the first day creates light, the second day creates air and water, and it does not rest until the work is completed on the seventh day.
When I first believed in the Lord, it was like a sudden light shining into the heart of a lost lamb, just as God said when He created the world that there should be light! This is the moment when faith first resides in the hearts of ordinary people! And at this time, the state of the crow is similar to this situation, and the light has begun to radiate a little bit of brilliance towards him, as for whether he will become a devout believer by chance in the future, and become' God's shadow depends on whether he can get out of here alive and whether he has enough opportunities in the future, after all, it took seven days for God to create the world, and now it is only half a day.
Just when everyone was stunned by the death of the exorcist in front of them, Thomas suddenly shook his shoulders, and everyone's nerves twitched with his slight tremor, only to see Thomas slowly stand up from the ground, the red robe wrapped around him, which was stained with Morin's blood in addition to himself, Thomas took off his robe a little stiffly, and covered it on Morin's body, so that his face after death would not be exposed to the air.
"The wraith is gone, Mr. John Bacon, I need that notebook!"
Thomas's voice echoed in the hall dry and cold, hearing this voice, I don't know why Hugo's heart suddenly trembled, looking at the figure with his back to them, frowning, and the Brown Knight also seemed to feel that things were starting to get a little weird, and subconsciously blocked Hugo behind him.
At this time, John Bacon stared at the heartless exorcist lying on the ground with deep eyes, pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes danced with a strange firelight, but this gaze only lasted for a short time and disappeared, he took a deep breath and said very respectfully: "As you wish, Your Excellency, our Bacon family are trustworthy people, and the reward of you and Your Excellency Raven will soon be fulfilled!"
John Bacon's assurances finally relieved the crow standing in the corner, and at this time his condition was absolutely too bad to be worse, and he had been relying on the potion until just now, and when the time of the potion was over, he had to find a safer place to recuperate.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the incomparably powerful Holy See, the rapid development of the White Wizard and the weird and unpredictable Black Wizard, they seem to have begun to slowly leave the self-styled wild wizard behind, so that the living space of the wild wizard will become more and more urgent, until it is squeezed and loses the place to stand, maybe moving to the territory of the white wizard is a more beneficial choice for himself, at this time the crow has begun to consider approaching the camp of the white wizard from the position of the wild wizard! The wild wizards who have the same idea as him are definitely not one or two, and they are the choice of most wizards under the strong impact of the emerging forces on the pattern of the old era.
Thomas still silently turned his back to the crowd, as if he hadn't heard John's words, this strange reaction made John's eyes frown slightly, but his expression remained the same, as if he saw that everything was going well, so his expression had begun to become a little clearer.
This strange atmosphere made Hugo feel a little awkward, but he couldn't say anything wrong, so he had to frown and continue to observe the subsequent development.
At this time, Thomas finally turned his head and looked at these poor creatures without faith behind him, his eyes were densely covered with thin bloodshots, like the lines on the windshield that had been knocked with a stick, staring at John Bacon expressionlessly.
"Then please ask Mr. Bacon to fulfill his promise, for your reward, I have lost a partner, the Holy See has lost an exorcist, your promise had better be valid, you understand?"
John was silent for a moment, then stood up straight and looked at the exorcist in front of him, he knew that there was no way back at this time, everything had to change, otherwise it would be a catastrophe of bloodline severance.
"Don't worry, I'm going to the third floor now, if the resentful spirits in the castle are no longer in trouble, then you can reopen the magic protection in the castle, and then it means that the task has been completed, and I will pay you according to the provisions of the contract"
After saying that, John walked towards the revolving building around the corner, followed by the house-elves who followed the same steps, a master and a servant soon disappeared at the corner of the stairs, the rest of the people in the hall looked at each other for a while, and they all felt that this matter was almost over, and the knight Leo was even more focused on inspecting the structural decoration of the entire castle, and let out a sigh of satisfaction from time to time, obviously this Romanesque castle style was very much to his appetite.
Hugo stood on the side of the castle silently caressing the heavy stone wall, which always gave him a strange feeling, but it didn't feel like a sign of danger, which was why he didn't leave for a long time, and at this time, in addition to him and Knight Brown, Leo Knight and his two soldiers, the merchant Franklin and four mercenaries, a living exorcist and a wild wizard who looked a little overdrawn, what danger could so many people encounter in the castle?
