Chapter 221: Killing & Plague (3)
"Well, the virgin soul is really the most delicious tonic in the world." Maia's face was full of enjoyment absorbing the soul of a young girl who was trampled under his feet, and the girl's originally smooth face had become quite flabby, like a grandmother who was dozens of years old.
Since escaping from the small town of Maury, Maia and Susan within him have blended into the flow of people to the imperial capital, carefully hiding the evil aura in his body, and returning to the city after a long absence.
Maia didn't know why she had to come back here, but for Susan in his body, although there were a large number of Holy Knights and Light Priests, there were more mercenaries here, and the more dangerous places would make them safer.
Originally, Maia and the others were just mixed among the poor, occasionally looking for drunkards and the like who wandered in the depths of the alleys late at night to satisfy their soul desires, and they thought that when the competition was over, they would be able to mix in the crowd and leave safely, but tonight there was a huge commotion.
After seeing the slaughter on the street outside, neither Maia nor Susan in him could bear it any longer, and they immediately found their long-coveted prey and feasted on their souls.
Just when Maiya was fluttering, Susan suddenly felt a cold aura in his body, and she immediately warned Maia, and Maiya immediately stopped absorbing the soul of the poor girl who was on the verge of death, and carefully guarded the entrance of the alley.
The sound of crisp and lonely footsteps came, and a person shrouded in a black cloak walked over, his body exuded a faint rancid stench, and a very obvious evil aura, which made Maiya slightly stunned, he thought that the person in front of him was the guy wearing black rune armor outside, but he didn't look dressed differently.
The man in the black cloak casually looked at Maia and the corpses beside him, and said in a slightly surprised tone: "Hey, I didn't think that there are still evil creatures like you in the imperial capital, are those useless knights and priests not being able to find them, or are you so strong that you are not afraid of them at all?"
"Hmph, who are you?" Maia kicked the unconscious girl on the ground away, and a deep black mist slowly appeared on each of his hands, as if to show his strength to the guy who came after.
The man in the black cloak was slightly stunned when he saw Maia's performance, because he found that in Maia's body, there was another soul, and from Maia's performance just now, this mysterious figure in the cloak could easily judge Maia's favorite food, so he smiled and said, "Very good, it seems that we have the basis to be friends." ”
"Friend, no, I don't have any friends!" Maia was irritated by the mysterious man in the black cloak, and what he was most afraid of being mentioned in front of him were words such as "friend" and "relative", which would remind him of his previous experience, and also provoke a forced reaction from his already depraved heart and long blinded conscience.
The mysterious man in the black cloak didn't say much, just raised his left and right from under the cloak, and his action immediately caused Maiya's pupils to shrink, because what the other party revealed was only a gray arm bone.
"This ......" Maia and Susan inside him were stunned when they saw this scene for the first time, and the mysterious man saw that the other party had completely eliminated his hostility towards him, and lifted the cloak covering his head with his other hand.
If Faras and Ryan were standing here, they would have lost their voices and called out the name of the mysterious figure in the black cloak: "Bailey!", yes, he was Bailey who escaped death in the orc cave. In order to survive that treacherous environment, and to get revenge on all his enemies, Bailey turned into a necromancer.
The moment he was thrown into the cave where he was hidden, Bailey let out the greatest curse of his life, and after he fell into the pile of rotten corpses, a cold voice sounded in Bailey's ears, and Bailey did not hesitate to accept the voice's request, after spending three years, Bailey had mastered a large number of necromancer skills, and he even used other people's bodies to re-stitch his own body parts to replace the rotten and deteriorated organs on his body.
Originally, Bailey and Maia had met, but unfortunately they had long since become unrecognizable, so they didn't recognize each other's identities, but Maia fell under the temptation of Susan to taste human life and soul for fun, while Bailey liked the human corpses and bones that had just died, and not only did they not conflict, but they also had a basis for cooperation.
"Deal!" After a brief conversation, Maia and Susan in his body agreed to Bailey's request for an alliance without hesitation, they are both creatures that do not tolerate light, and there is no conflict of interest between them, and an alliance is only good for both parties. As for devouring each other to increase their own strength, this is not another world, it is already difficult for everyone to survive, there is no need to kill each other, and as long as the two of them work together, even if they hunt a strong mercenary group, it may not be impossible, so why give up the difficulty?
"What shall we do now?" Maia asked, seeing that the two sides had formed an alliance, "what are your plans? ”
"Yes! Only by living can you have a chance to become stronger. "Although Bailey is eager for revenge, but after he sneaked back to the imperial capital, he has also seen the power of Farath and them, although Bailey's strength has increased greatly, but there is no chance of winning a frontal attack, and the most important thing is that Bailey does not want to take revenge by exchanging a life for a life, he hopes to increase his strength and destroy everything in front of him, whether it is Farath or the imperial capital, all human beings with normal life.
And just as the two were discussing, a strong light suddenly burst out in the sky, and the dark night was as bright as day, and the holy breath came to the face, making people feel the warmth of spring. However, these are rare pleasures for ordinary people, but they are fatal to Bailey and Maier, who have become evil creatures, and being in this environment is equivalent to ordinary people being in boiling water.
"Ahh
"Quick, there's a well over there!" Bailey's face had melted, and he looked so horrible at this moment.
"It's too late, get here!" Maiya forcefully lifted an iron plate on the ground, and immediately there was a violent smell of food rancid from below: "This is the sewer, fast forward!"
The two of them couldn't care about the filth of the sewer, so they jumped in one after the other, and the uneaten food scraps mixed with the excrement splashed out......
Outside the ruins of Faraz, Victor and Faraz looked at Orlando who was half-kneeling on the ground in surprise, a thick pillar of holy light fell from the sky, directly shining on Orlando's body, Orlando in armor could no longer see the specific face, because the white around him became more and more intense, and those whites were faintly, turning into several pairs of wings and flapping behind Orlando.
"Good fellow, Orlando, you've been lying to us all along!" Victor shook his head with a wry smile, in fact, he and Faras didn't have to come over tonight, because this "angel coming" in Orlando alone was enough to hunt down most evil creatures.
"Teacher, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what the hell is he doing? This breath, well, so powerful!" Faras had reached the point where she could hold on to Victor so she could stand by Orlando's side, and she couldn't recognize what Orlando was doing, so she asked Victor.
"It is the 'angel descending', using his own body as a carrier, directly bearing the spirit of an angel in the divine realm to come to this plane. Victor grabbed Faras's arm and quickly flew away with her, with Orlando's move, Victor was not worried about the riot in front of him, at least Victor's way to stop this riot was to kill people, and Orlando, with the angel descending, could completely solve it in other ways.
"But...... Is that brother-in-law a brother-in-law or an angel?" asked Faras the unsettling remark.
"If the angel who came directly took Orlando's soul, then it was not an angel who came, but a demon possessed. Victor grabbed Faras to keep his balance in the air, and slowly explained, "That angel is just an unconscious soul with great combat power, but it needs to be commanded or manipulated by others. Ibel's 'Seraphic Staff' also had one sealed inside, but it was destroyed 3 years ago. ”
"Oh, then I'm relieved. Farass grabbed Victor with one hand and patted her chest lightly with the other.
Victor looked at Faras's relieved look and wanted to say a few more words, but after thinking about it, he gave up again.
At this time, Orlando, who was on the ground, had completed the entire ritual, and the wings that kept flapping behind him had also changed from being composed of light to materializing, and a full three pairs of six white ones made Orlando's body float lightly with a single fan.
Orlando was in mid-air, he had no weapon in his hand, and in the face of the hundreds of thousands of citizens of the imperial capital who had lost their minds on the ground, Orlando crossed his hands together, and immediately recited a large number of poems in praise of the god of light and the god of war. In the process of chanting, Orlando, who had become a seraphim, flew higher and higher, almost hundreds of meters away, and he looked down on the entire chaotic neighborhood, watching with pity at every thug who had lost his mind.
After a while, Orlando's whole body emitted a strong light, like the sun at noon, directly illuminating the sky, and the light he emitted was different from the sun, and the white light contained a calming power, even the heinous butcher bathed in this sunlight quickly fell to his knees and began to repent.
Orlando was able to stop a riot on an unprecedented scale, floating in the air, chanting poems praising the god of light, and the citizens of the imperial capital who had committed crimes because of their hotheads and losing their minds all knelt on the ground, and they began to pray sincerely facing Orlando in mid-air.
"Since the angels, the most faithful servants of the gods, have once again come into the world, the gods must not have forsaken them, and perhaps the previous sufferings are only God's tests for us. "This is almost the only voice of all the people of the imperial capital. The citizens who had lost their minds and had blood on their hands wept bitterly and were frustrated.
Although he still thinks about his wife, who does not know whether he will live or die, Orlando still forgives the citizens who caused the killing at his feet in mid-air, in Orlando's opinion, these ordinary citizens are not holy knights, and they cannot be restrained by the eight requirements of the holy knights, and it is not easy to repent of them.
Orlando's voice rang out in every corner of the imperial capital: "Countless regrettable things have happened tonight, and I know that many of you have lost loved ones. But have you ever thought that when you vent your anger, there will be more tragedies long ago? Before you blame others, ask yourself, how many of these tragedies have you caused?"
"Of course you don't fucking matter, you're on top, what's to lose?" On the ground, a lewd voice shouted loudly, and Orlando found the owner of the conversation from the tens of thousands of people at a glance, and he remembered that it was this guy who had stirred up the crowd before.
"My wife, who is Faraz's sister, lives here. Orlando calmly said, "You have turned this place into ruins, and Sophie's whereabouts are unknown." If I want to take revenge on you, wouldn't it be very justifiable?"
Orlando's words immediately shocked everyone, yes, this supreme military governor of the imperial capital, who controls more than half of the military power of the imperial capital, can directly mobilize the army to suppress it, and he did not, but used a powerful divine power to influence himself.
"Who knows if this is a conspiracy by you, Faras murdered the Queen, and you..." The lewd voice sounded again, only this time before he could finish speaking, a male voice next to him interrupted him: "It's you, it's you who kept inciting just now, it's not you, I won't lose my mind and make mistakes, I'm ...... I'm fighting with you!"
The man who spoke was the first man to take up arms, he was inexplicably sad because his wife was killed, and after being calmed down by Orlando's divine power, he slowly recalled what had happened before, just as the guy who instigated him jumped out to accuse Orlando, but the person was still next to him, so the remorseful man picked up the weapon in his hand and cut it down.
"That's right, it's him, it's what he instigated!"
"And you, you bastard, if it weren't for the bad things you whispered in my ear, I wouldn't ......"
"Kill them, kill these wicked bastards!"
The crowd on the ground was chaotic again, only this time it was aimed at the guys who had been stirring up the scene before. Orlando is not in the way of the sky, because the citizens who have done the wrong thing need some venting and at the same time it will ease their guilt.
When everything was calm again, Orlando, who had become an angel, shouted again: "Go back, go home, don't be immersed in killing and revenge, go and bury your relatives first, and then take practical actions to repent of your evil deeds!"
Under the powerful inspiration of Orlando, almost everyone wept bitterly and expressed their repentance, and they obeyed Orlando's instructions and slowly dispersed. Until this moment, Orlando still didn't dare to be careless, he flew in the night sky of the imperial capital, comforted the citizens from time to time, and commanded the Holy Knights to help those sad citizens deal with the aftermath, until the sky was slightly white, this riot was truly over.
On this night, Orlando, who incarnated as an angel, replaced Queen Catherine in the position of the citizens of the imperial capital, and everyone admired the invincible general, but no one found from Orlando's melancholy eyes that this holy knight who regarded honor as his life was always worried about his wife. Yes, in Orlando's heart, honor is life, but his wife, Sophie, is beyond life.
