Chapter 120: Devout Disciples
"In other words, Nina is really in their hands?" Listening to Mio's recounting of what had happened before, the glimmer of hope that had risen in Alan's heart was instantly shattered, and the feeling was almost dizzying. After the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info set off from Sunshine City, he had not slept a single restful night.
"Yes, but as for whether they caught Linde, I don't know. Mio chewed the fig and shrugged, "That day, Linde had already been caught, but that kid used the tricks you taught him to get rid of one of the guards. After that, the two knights escorted me and Nina out first, and when we arrived at the city of your, we were thrown into a dark prison, but after a long wait, Linde was never imprisoned, and perhaps he did escape. ”
"Where's Nina, is she okay?" asked Alan, holding back his weariness.
"It's okay. Mio's expression was a little lonely, "The food in the prison is very poor, either sour black bread, or stinky multigrain paste, or half-cooked baked potatoes, and the water sent by the jailer also stinks, and it smells of urine, but it is good to be alive....."
"Are you sure there is no one else in the dungeon?" asked Sersi with a dagger on the birdman's face as he cut through the figs with his eyes.
"Probably not. Mio turned to the other side, "We were locked in the first cell of the dungeon, and every time the jailer came to deliver food, he only had one copy, and after he was done, he locked the door and left, and he wouldn't come back until the next day, unless Mike and Winnie were locked up in another dungeon, otherwise ....."
"Bring that old thing. Alan commanded Steven in good spirits.
When the old servant was pushed in, the wound in his ear had already been treated. He looked at Sersi in horror, as if he had not yet recovered from the horror of dawn. "Lord Allen, the people of your have always been trustworthy, especially the people of the Seminary. As soon as he saw him come in, he said cowardly.
"Shut up!" "Write to your master and tell him that my men will retreat to the Nikko border, and when he sees the messenger again, release Kenny's wife, otherwise, the immortal will set foot in the Flame Shrine in three days!"
"No, no, the undead?" said Harwin, stammering.
"Do you really think I brought 10,000 rice worms?" Alan shook his head, "In the letter, you can ask the Flame Priest to capture a few horse-walking traders and ask them if they have encountered the Legion of the Undead of Daylight!"
"No, the Legion of the Undead?" the old god servant swallowed, "My lord, the city of sunlight is forbidden—"
"You want to see?" said Allen, turning his head and giving Morris a look, who immediately yelled outside the tent. A few seconds later, four living dead men in rusty iron armor and blank eyes walked into the tent, muttering to themselves, "The dead are not dead.....
Sersi wiped the fig juice from the dagger with a tablecloth and gave Harwyn a wicked smile as he stood up, and the old servant closed his eyes instantly when the dagger plunged into the arm of the living dead. When he opened his eyes again, the knife had been drawn, there was not a drop of blood around, the living dead did not scream, the horned dagger was still shining silver, and the tent was as quiet as death.
"My lord, I ..... I understood, and I went to write at once, immediately....." The old priest hurriedly bowed and bowed, and withdrew from the tent in a gloomy manner.
"Sir Morris. Eren turned his head, and the middle-aged knight stood up unexpectedly. "Tell me to go down, pack up all my belongings, and retreat to the border in an hour, and if those guys in feather helmets dare to disobey the order, they will be killed!" he turned his head to look at Mio, who was feasting, and then turned his gaze to Sercy, "Watch out for Harwin, don't let him escape." Also, from now on, I want his plate to have only sour black bread, stinky multigrain paste, half-cooked baked potatoes, and the water must smell of urine!"
"No problem!" Selsey grinned.
For a time, the station of tens of thousands of people was in a commotion again. The clerk pulls up the tents, loads the wagons, saddles the horses, and the soldiers help pack the baggage. When Alan and the officers patrolled through the station, there was a clangling sound everywhere, and everyone was busy, except for the group of knights in silver-gilded armor, who were taking advantage of this moment to throw the dice in groups, but fortunately no one disobeyed.
An hour later, the ravens with Harwin's handwritten letter flapped their wings and flew to the city of Urdu, while the army with the banner of sunlight turned away and retreated to the border to the north.
On the way, Alan sat in the saddle and dozed off incessantly, and on several occasions almost fell off his horse, until Morris was forced to lead the way, and he took a carriage full of arrows instead.
Before it got dark, they set up camp outside a town. Alan, who was a little sober, pondered silently, wondering if this village had a name. But even if there were, it had long been taken away by the fleeing crowd. They took everything with them, not even the temple's candles. At first, he and Sersi only wanted to go to the town to see if they could buy some wine to warm up, but Maurice advised them: "There is no one but the capital." ”
The temple is probably the only intact building in the town. "Hell, I know what this town has been through!" Selcie grumbled as he walked into the town.
Everywhere you look, with crumbling walls, broken windows, and even dead trees, your people are miserable compared to the prosperity of ancient Assyria, or the daylight of a hundred years.
Selsey lit a torch and they walked through the once magnificent lintel. Inside the temple, the ancient walls were already mottled, and the baseline was scattered with a thick layer of wall ash, as did the statues of the gods. When Eren was a child, his father's servant taught him: If one day you don't know where to go, who to find, if the sun will rise tomorrow, go to the temple, child, the god Namu will always give you a good idea.
Alan looked up at the face of the god Namu. As elsewhere, she was kind and kind, smiling unabated, and the firelight drew her tattered face into a black oval, and with two golden eyes in the shadows, she sat in a chair and looked into the distance.
So he knelt down before Namu. "God, watch over everything with your motherly eyes. They are all your children and grandchildren, and everyone is, please take care of them, and please take care of Kenny, Shelley, Winnie, Mike, Nina, Aiden, and Lind..... Jr."
Namu had a crack running through his left eye, and it looked like he was crying. Sersi followed Allen's example and knelt down before God, repeating the exact same words. Later, when Alan said something, he followed suit. Otherwise, the night was silent, and even the rustle of leaves could not be heard, until there was a slight noise from the ancient gate, and Sersi turned around.
"Ai ..... Alan ..... Selsi patted the believer who was praying intently, "Na..... It seems that the god Namu has appeared to ....."
"Shut up..... Allen's eyes were closed and his snort was even, "..... For the sake of my pious heart, give Kenny to-"
"Alan. A familiar voice interrupted him from behind.
Alan opened his eyes, the firelight flickered, and when the shadows on the floor were clearer again, he really wanted to thank the kind old divine servant.
