Chapter 0589 - Advent (Ask for Subscription)
The Potterly Family!
It is known for serving the goddess of light for generations, as well as passing on the path of the Witcher.
Since the Holy War, when the main vein followed the Church of Light to the White Eagle Federation, it has been in decline.
However, the side branches with the bloodline of the witchers should have been preserved for a long time, especially the branches that were left in the Chris's empire in the first place.
Rhodes once inquired about this and got the news that the other party was also in decline.
Su Lu didn't expect that in the Zotlan Continent, at the forefront of the war between humans and aliens, there would be a Potterly family descendant with a fairly pure bloodline.
"Elena?"
He looked at the scavenger camp below, and the gnolls who retreated, but remained fierce, never leaving, but grinning at the camp in silence.
A few of the previous scavengers were unlucky, and they were even caught, and at this time they enjoyed the treatment of being dismembered and devoured.
"No ......"
Seeing this scene, all the scavengers in the camp were red-eyed.
"Can't go out!"
Alanna gritted her teeth and roared, "Otherwise, you will fall for their scheme!" We have already signaled that if we hold on for half a day, help will come! ”
"These damn wolf cubs, why are they so smart today?"
A bearded man next to him spat fiercely.
"Yes, they don't usually be so tough, and they will leave after one or two impacts without results...... It won't be so brave, unless there is a commander. ”
Alanna affirmed.
Ordinary gnolls, though cruel, can only be as cunning as animals.
But the truly transcendent among them will open up wisdom comparable to that of human beings.
"There's a gnoll priest in there to support you? Or the awakened Gnoll Warlock? The beard gritted his teeth, looked around, and said in a low voice: "We don't have many bullets, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for the rescue team to arrive......"
Alanna's expression was low, knowing that this was true.
This small forward camp is doomed to destruction, and the path she faces is either escape or death.
"So what about ......"
She stared at her teammate and asked calmly.
Scavengers can be seen as mercenaries, and there may be friendships among them, but there are never many.
"So...... If a few of our professionals join forces, we may be able to fight our way out! The beard's voice was cold.
"Leave someone else as bait?"
Alanna whispered, "I would never do that, I swore it!" Won't give up on companions! ”
"Don't be stupid, there are hundreds of gnolls out there, and there may be spell-casting professions such as priests and warlocks, and we will only die if we stay here, and there is no other meaning."
The beard also growled.
"Perhaps, my head is stupid, but my father once said that at this time, he chose to live to die!"
Alena suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice, "All the pros stand up, we will kill the wolves in the pile and kill their head wolf before the next attack!" ”
The scavengers looked at each other, and the bearded ones stared at her like fools.
Rush into the wolf pile, not to mention whether you can find the first wolf, even if you find and kill them, they will not come back alive, but will be torn to pieces by the angry wolves!
"It's the only way to keep most people alive, and I need teammates."
The girl looked bravely at the others.
Unfortunately, most people hung their heads and didn't dare to make eye contact with her.
"Perhaps...... Wait, the Empire's support is coming soon. ”
"You have to go by yourself, don't pull us."
"The camp is safe, go out to find death!"
……
All kinds of eyes and mutters came, almost driving the girl crazy.
"Whew!"
At this moment, another deep and desolate wolf howl came.
In the center of the many gnolls is an elderly gnoll with gray hair, its turquoise eyes glowing with ferocity and cunning, and around its neck is a necklace strung with the skull of an unknown creature.
It glanced coldly at the camp and held a huge stake to the ground.
A circle of light spread, and all the gnolls roared in the sky as if they had taken some great tonic.
In the midst of the wolf howls, the scavengers in the camp looked at each other.
"Gnoll ...... High Priest? ”
"This ...... At least equivalent to a fourth-order professional...... In particular, it can increase the abilities of ordinary gnolls...... Make them comparable to the second order! ”
"It's dead...... We're dead. "The beard was so depressed that he didn't even have the idea of escaping.
"This ...... I'm afraid I can't kill it. ”
The light in Elena's eyes dimmed completely.
But just when she was ready to face death calmly.
The world in her eyes suddenly slowed down, and everyone wailed, prayed, and ...... It was as if there was a film separating her.
The flow of time slowed down and eventually, came to a complete halt.
Whether it was the people and things around them, or even the gnolls who had re-launched their charge, they were all transformed into sculptures at this moment.
"Why?"
Alanna looked at her hands: "What's going on?" ”
"A lot of strong unwillingness...... What a delicious emotion......"
A voice came, transforming into the figure of a young knight.
"You...... Who is it? In the still world, Alanna looked at the knight, her heart already sinking.
"The Chief of the Knights of the Round Table, the Knight of the Apocalypse, my lord has heard your call and ordered me to come!" Sulu replied solemnly.
Alanna, on the other hand, felt as if she had been stabbed in the face: 'No, will it...... It's just the pleading of dozens of people before they die, and even the Seven Great Righteous Gods will disdain it, how could it be so coincidental that it attracted an unknown existence? ’
She thought of it, maybe these companions said casually before they died, "I don't know what it is, please help me!" Attracted a certain evil god, or false god!
But judging from the fact that one of the other party's dependents was able to create this level of 'mystery', it is very likely that this is a real deity.
"My god's name is 'Spirit Lord', are you willing...... Give up everything you have in exchange for power? ”
Sulu stared at Alena with interest.
In front of a god, she couldn't even hide her memories, and Sulu browsed her life without a trace.
Alena Potley, born in a family of witchers in the Chriss Empire, due to the separation of the Church of the Goddess from the Alliance, the Potterley branch has been suppressed and hostile for a long time, and it is the period of Ragnarok, by the time Alena was born, the family had decayed, and even owed huge debts.
In order to avoid creditors and find new opportunities, her father took the young Alena to answer the call of the empire and come to the continent of Zotland to become the first colonist.
It's a pity that her father's strength is not very good, and he was attacked and killed by jackals during a hunt.
Alena was left with a single seedling, struggling to survive until now.
"Anyway, there's no worse option, is there?"
