Chapter 35: Crime and Punishment
Before he bled profusely and fainted, the artery wound in his left hand was frozen by ice magic, and Virgie wrapped the torn strip of cloth of his robe around his wound. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You ......"
"I remember that time when I had a fever, you were the only one who ever visited me. ”
"Reaper Advisor, aren't you going to bring me a verdict? What are you doing here?"
"The verdict has just been delivered. ”
Virgi turned around and put the monocle back on his left eye: "The miracle of not being able to summon the goddess of thorns means that you are not worthy of being a knight of law enforcement at all, and it means that you are a sinner in your bones." ”
"Are you going to kill me......"
"Your sin, no matter how you try to escape it, you can't get rid of it, it is always with you, in the depths of your soul. Rather than killing you, making you understand this is what I've always wanted to achieve. ”
Virgy turned around again, and even in the face of his old enemy, his smile did not lose its warmth.
"As for saying that the Reaper military master likes to kill, I'm afraid you know better than anyone else, it's just a rumor. ”
Yuri also threw away the bent heavy sword, and the remaining half of the slashing giant sword that was smashed by the rock was carried on his shoulder, put on the mirror of shadows, and suddenly said cheerfully: "Hey, Baker, compared to you, Teacher Qiao Luya is the true heir of the Goddess of Thorns, right?"
When she fights against the Black Dragon General, if she chooses to hide her strength, she will witness her friends being killed one by one, and she will sit back and watch the city be destroyed by the Mithril Golem, and the lives will be destroyed. However, she knew better that if she chose to take the Shadow Destiny to the extreme and win the battle, all that awaited her was heresy and a predictable death.
But she smiled and chose to die, so that everyone could live.
This is not something that a guy like Baker who is ready to use death to escape responsibility can understand.
"Doesn't it sound unreasonable for you to use the secret weapon of the Goddess of Thorns against the students who inherited the will of the Goddess of Thorns?" Yuri said with a nonchalant smile, "I can't understand such a simple truth, and my eyes are still so big, it's really funny." ”
Baker lowered his head, still pinned to the ground by steel bars and unable to move, but his fierce and crazy expression had completely disappeared, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, and he began to recall the first time he became a member of the Divine Light Knights, when he was full of ambition but innocent and ridiculous.
"Do it, Yuri. ”
Yuri said unhappily, "Don't just confuse me with someone like you who is happiest when he kills, bastard! I wanted to kill you to avenge the teacher, but unfortunately, the teacher also included you when he rescued the people of the city." Wouldn't it be too much of a sacrifice to kill the person he had tried so hard to save? I just saw General Baker, who shouted that he was the law, being slapped in the face by the goddess of thorns he relied on, and I thought it was enough. ”
Yuri turned around with the remnant sword and strode towards the broken hole in the wall of the atrium, and said with a big grin: "In the eyes of the guilty, kindness is an unforgivable original sin. You can't tolerate Teacher Qiao Luya in your eyes, so you killed her on the charge of heresy, which is probably why Teacher had to die. ”
Looking at the backs of the two people, Baker felt a strange touch in his heart. It's a feeling I've not felt in a long time, as if I had only had this feeling of blood pumping to my heart when I was a soldier.
"I wasn't the one who killed Joluya. Yuri, Virgil, if you want to continue to pursue this matter, please do it yourself. ”
Baker didn't understand what kind of mood he was in to tell Yuri this.
Yuri turned his back to Baker and raised the slashing sword: "Thank you, old man, just wait and see!"
Virgy took out a parchment scroll with stun runes from his pocket and said, "Although I don't like to kill, I'm afraid I have to stun you, because it's an important part of my plan." ”
Baker gritted his teeth and grinned, staring unblinkingly at the colorful glow of the parchment scroll, and then immediately fell asleep.
Yuri and Virgi slashed through the outer wall of the Great Church, and the top of the bell tower was burned black, but now the sacred six-pointed star fell in the rubble, leaving its back in the setting sun. The collapse of the Great Sanctuary represents a record of the Sacred Thorn City that has never fallen for hundreds of years, and today it is brought to an end by a knightly order of only two people.
However, this time, it was Yuri and Virgil who broke through the Holy Thorn City, so people may never realize that the city fell on this day, and only remember that the sky was immaculate, the sunset was very beautiful, and they had a peaceful attitude on the way home.
With the mirror of Shadows reclaimed and Baker confessing his sins from the bottom of his heart, Yuri and Virgi's battle has come to a successful end. However, how to get out of the city is still a difficult problem.
"Yuri, change into this outfit. ”
Yuri was surprised: "Virgy, how did you get the uniform of the Law Enforcement Knight?"
"To put it simply, it's to lure two law enforcement knights to get drunk and make a small mistake. Now these two brothers are still meditating under the waterfall outside the city, and you won't want to know the exact process. ”
"Okay. Yuri shuddered, in awe of his elusive companion, "What should I do to escape the city?"
"You just don't say a word and you do a lot of help. ”
Due to the collapse of the Great Templar, the law enforcement knights were in a mess, and the two people were mixed in the middle of the law enforcement knights running around, unable to identify at all, but just shouted with everyone: "There is an assassin! General Baker has been assassinated! The assassin has fled!"
Then he shouted a few words with added fuel and vinegar: "This is the conspiracy of the Dark Legion! Let the three generals fall one after another, and now the Holy Thorn City can no longer resist!"
The law enforcement knights flocked to the sleeping Baker, and some of them eagerly said, "The general is not dead, but he is unconscious!" and some of them stomped on the ground in a panic and said, "What should we do?
The deputy head of the regiment was ordered to be in danger and said loudly: "Law Enforcement Knights, all ready! Go to the east gate to defend against the incoming dark army!"
Vigi loudly proposed: "I propose to suspend the interrogation of the former members of the Holy Feather Knights, and let them enter the battle to make up for the lack of combat power!"
"Good idea, it's up to you to go to Simon's Holy Church Inquisition Center to inform them to release them!"
"I'll go now!"
Virgil pulled Yuri, and in this way, in full view of everyone, justifiably broke away from the large army heading east.
A few miles west of the Great Church is the interrogation site where suspicious people are held and interrogated. Yuri was saddened to hear that his former companions were being held there, and that the great warriors of the past were now being treated like prisoners. However, now he is even more worried, if Carl and Odron are released, can they let themselves pass through safely? After all, everyone is extremely hostile to the darkness, and now he has the Dark Destiny, and this secret has been known to everyone.
Virgi looked at Yuri in surprise and said speechlessly, "Then you can't...... Won't you let them out?"
"Our task is to inform the Holy Church Inquisition to release them. ”
"But we're fake law enforcement knights. ”
Yuri put his hand in his mouth and said in surprise, "Oh yes!"
For more than ten years, as a knight, he has been following the principle of "the orders of the boss must be obediently executed", especially the teacher Qiao Luya, who always gives some unwritten tasks, such as "Yuri, go to the shopping street to help me buy a new evening dress, and I will go to the annoying aristocratic party at night." You ask me why I don't go because I think it's troublesome," or "Remember, when you make me dinner, the carrots on the plate must be carved into the shape of a bunny." Why does it have to be like this? Because I like bunnies." Yuri always had to finish all these stupid things in the midst of everyone's ridicule, so this time he almost obeyed orders by inertia.
Yuri felt a little dull at first, then couldn't help but giggle happily.
"What are you happy about?" Virgil couldn't help but wonder.
"As a beginner knight, basically everyone can call me, from going into battle to kill the enemy to sharpening knives and brushing horses for everyone, not only do I have to do it, but I can't complain, and today I found out for the first time that I refused to carry out the orders issued by my superiors, this feeling is really cool!"
Virgi covered his head with some disgust, and subconsciously took a few steps away from Yuri, Yuri is stupid, but his smile is still very contagious, in case his IQ is affected after mixing with him for a long time, it will be troublesome.
Facing the city gate in front of him, Yuri suddenly stopped, turned back to Virgie, and said seriously, "Vigi, I really thank you. Without your guidance, I would not have been able to get this far. ”
Virgy also stood upright, dressed in green like a young oak tree.
"Yuri, without your help, relying only on my plan, I can't defeat General Baker today after all. Virgy smiled kindly, "Miss Jolua said that we might be the best companions, and I have kept it in my mind since the day I heard it in the nursing home. ”
The corners of Virgi's mouth went up, and he gave a happy thumbs up, and said to his partner: "So now I can officially say that it's a pleasure to meet you, Ulysses." My name is Virgie Briggs, and I've heard of your name a lot. ”
Yuri touched his head embarrassedly and hid his shyness with a loud laugh: "What I knew about you before seems to be all wrong. Please advise, the strongest military advisor on the earth, Viji. ”
So, let's leave this city of grievances with the most imposing pace before the last glimmer of twilight quietly disappears!
Yuri was only a stone's throw away from the city gate, but a black-robed young man suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Ready to slip away? ”
Yuri was shocked, and Virgy couldn't help but frown.
