Chapter 19: The Ash Wood Blood Sacrifice (7)

The first day of fighting ended in a pyrrhic victory. The militiamen www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion were frightened and probably would not participate in the next battle. Aluka was seriously injured and had to be helped to walk. Xinong had one leg and one arm crippled, and his combat effectiveness had dropped by more than fifty percent. Trihak's chest was opened, and he didn't care about the adrenaline rush during the battle, and when he went back, he found that the sternum could be seen in the wound, and he was also seriously injured. Joffa was slashed in the leg by the last Green Lake Knight before he died. The non-combatant Henry National Master was safe and sound, and his heart was strong, and he was not scared to spurt some blood himself when he saw it like some pampered nobles.

Such a grand occasion naturally made everyone in the God Puncher team feel a little heavy. If there are no variables, it is impossible to withstand a second attack. Although there would be a buffer period between the two groups of attackers sent by the church, it was far from enough for the crowd to fully recover from their injuries. Only Trihak recovered quickly from his injuries, and Henry's statement was that the sun god was in charge of destruction and rebirth, so the blood of the sun god recovered from his injuries faster.

No one was in the mood to chat, and with the help of the villagers, they went back to their rooms in the inn to rest. Dr. Peter dutifully emptied the hospital of medicines and treated the people. The village chief of Fei De also expressed his condolences one by one, but the expression on his face was inclined to panic and anger, probably because he felt that his gold coins had been spent. He could imagine that the angry church would have to send people again, and this group of people had lost their combat effectiveness, so it was too late to go to the mercenaries? The village chief of Feide was a little self-defeating.

After about two hours, Aluka called the skeletal-faced girl who was taking care of her to call Henry's national teacher. This skeletal-faced girl looks handsome and lovely in the skeletal faces of the village, and Aluka actually has a good impression, and can't help but wonder if she is delirious under a serious injury and has a problem with her aesthetics.

After Henry came to Aluca's room in confusion, Aruka asked straight to the point, "Is there a cemetery in the village?"

Henry thought about it and began to shake his head, his white hair fluttering.

Aluca asked again, "Is the body burned outside?"

This is a common practice in war, where large numbers of corpses are piled up on the battlefield and when they decay, they can lead to plague. Most of the doctors did not even have the level of Dr. Peter, and as a result of treating the plague, they themselves became one of the sick names, so countries attached great importance to the burning of corpses after the war. However, there were less than twenty corpses in this skirmish in Ashwood Village today, and there was no need to deal with them in this way.

But Henry nodded and did burn.

Aluka didn't ask any more questions, but thought for a while, and said, "I guess the church won't confirm the disappearance of these knights until a day, and a new team will be sent out another day, which means we have at least three days to prepare, and maybe four days if we're lucky." But I can't sneak up on the priests again this time, and after a group of people die, they will find that Ash Wood Village is not as simple as they imagined, so they will be more vigilant, stop making mistakes, and demand themselves according to wartime standards. ”

Henry expressed his understanding, and this time was also considered to be the extra labor contributed by Aluca's own initiative.

"Tomorrow we will go to the small lake behind the village and find the Blood God Priest. If nothing comes of it, I recommend that you go hunting in the mountains after recovering your strength. ”

The former suggestion Henry didn't understand at all, but he didn't understand the latter suggestion at all, and asked: "What are you doing hunting?" The food in the village is enough, the villagers will not starve to death, the food is only used to satisfy the appetite of the tongue, we can ask them to give us the food." ”

Aluca smiled, "I mean eat a good meal before you die." ”

Henry was speechless, and replied for a while: "You are too pessimistic. Also, if you plan to serve the royal family in the future, remember to bring honorific titles when addressing nobles. You treat me and everyone else the same way, making me feel like you're a bit of an infidel. The royal family and the gods are sensitive to these matters, and suspicion of your identity will affect me. ”

"Sounds like you've made up your mind to send me and Brother Sinong to the palace...... I don't think the nobles will bother with me, I'm just a small person. As long as I can bring them enough benefits, they will ignore my rudeness. ”

National Master Henry shook his head and said, "I found a big shortcoming of yours. ”

Aluka has never been shy about this kind of thing, and asked Henry to continue.

"You're really smart and today's result shows that your plan works. But the problem is that all your inferences and plans are directed at people, or rather, at people's hearts. Henry said solemnly, "People's hearts are the most uncontrollable factor, your plan is full of variables, and if you make a mistake in one link, you will lose everything." Admittedly, we lack the strength to execute a better plan, but I think your wisdom should be more than that. ”

"It's quite normal. Arouca replied lazily, "There are two reasons. ”

Once again, Henry couldn't keep up with Aluca's train of thought.

"The first reason is that it's actually the first time I've done this kind of thing, and I never made a plan in the past, let alone instructed my teachers and brothers how to do things. ”

Henry thought to himself, young people, inevitably. In this way, it seems that you still have a lot of room and potential for development, and I am optimistic about you.

"The second and most important reason...... I'm lazy. Comparing a riskier plan with a more troublesome plan, I would choose a riskier plan. ”

Henry thought to himself, I'd better go.

——

The innocent and simple Skull-faced Greywood villagers did not consider the possibility of a comeback of the Green Lake Knights, and decided to hold a bonfire party in the evening, offering sacrifices to the blood god and praying for the blessings of the dead villagers. The believers of this world believe that the influence of the Lord God they believe in is far-reaching, and that hell has to be given a little bit of face.

As the protagonists of the God Pterminator Squad, it is only natural that you should participate. As an elder and a clergyman, Henry Guoshi improvised a draft and gave a speech, which received a very enthusiastic response and improved the posture level of the villagers. This is nothing to Henry's national teacher, the Red Sect Pope knows that the powerful people in the southern continent are not comparable to the king of the Rhine, and Henry's national teacher talks and laughs with him.

After Henry's speech, the villagers began to chat and dance in the square. With an embarrassed face, Xinon accepted the invitation of a skull-faced girl and gracefully taught her to dance the ballroom dance of the aristocracy. The green-haired Jofa sat at the table and ate Hesse, probably the happiest moment he had in a few days.

Covered in bandages, Aluka could not move at will, could not even sit in a chair, and lay on a small bed at the edge of the square, quite like a dimly lit place. Trehack walked over with two glasses of wine, handed one to Aluca, and smiled, "Dry!"

Aluka silently poured the wine on the ground and said, "Respect the heavenly Aluca." ”

"You're not dead yet. "A slap in the face.

"If you try to pour me any more wine, I'll die. Aruka grinned, "Do you know how badly I'm hurt?" ”

Trihak took a sip of wine and sighed, "Even if you weren't injured, you wouldn't have attended the party." You've been like this since you were a child. What do you mean by that word? yes, withdrawn. ”

Is it the thing that reads a book, can it be called loneliness? That is called the most lonely of invincible. Aluka mentally imitated Kong Yiji while feeling deeply tired. There are two emotions in his heart, one is called boredom, and the other is also called boredom.

"Teacher, why don't you ever ask me where I'm from?"

"Why don't you say that?"

"In the past two days, I have spoken to Brother Xinong and Master Henry respectively in two versions, which one do you like?"

"The wine here is not good, I love our world. ”

"I don't like anything, and I'm skeptical that there's something I like. ”

"Don't be so desperate in the future, who will send me to the end if you die. ”

"Sometimes if you don't work hard, you won't have a life to fight. ”

The conversation between the two does not match the preface and the afterword, but the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth, but there is a wonderful tacit understanding. Aluca likes this, and whether he likes to admit it or not, his IQ is above average. For someone like him, it's not hard to be loved, it's hard to fall in love with someone. It's not hard to be hated, but it's hard to hate someone. It's easier to be trusted, and you can use lies to make others trust you with all your heart, but it's harder to make him trust others than to ascend to the sky.

It's not that he doesn't want to, he just can't. As long as you are a living person, there is always a part of your personality that you cannot control. Some people can't restrain their arrogance, some can't restrain their impulses, some can't restrain their anger, and Aluca can't restrain their autism and suspicion. He is not physically autistic, and there is nothing that anyone who has been in a relationship with Aluka does not like him, but he will never be able to penetrate into his heart, and he will not expose his emotions. Aluca's life is like reading a book, and everything is treated from an outsider's point of view, so everything is very light and boring.

In the darkness of the night, the skull-faced villagers stopped dancing and gathered around the campfire, pulling out their daggers. The main event is on, as they swipe their wrists in unison with expressionless faces, drops of blood trickling out of their arteries, dripping onto the ground, and seeping into it as if it never existed.

Aluka looked at this scene, pondered for a long time, and said to Trehack: "Teacher, have you noticed, there is a well in the square, and it is the only well in the village. ”

"So what? It's like this in small villages, and digging wells is a big project. ”

"I think I know how the blood god bestows divine power on the villagers, he can't bless out of thin air, then he's too powerful to be afraid of other gods. Villagers drip blood onto the ground, seep into groundwater, and drain into the lake. The water of the lake is connected to the well water, and when the villagers drink the water from the well, they will have the ability to be immortal. Normally, blood would be absorbed by the dirt when it falls to the ground, but the power of the blood god changes everything. ”

"What's the use of knowing this. "We're here to protect the villagers, not to deal with them. ”

"I only care about the answer, I don't care what the answer means. Aluca's eyes flashed, certainly not without meaning, he wouldn't say.

"So the Blood God doesn't need a Divine Division......" Aruka muttered to herself, ignoring Trihak, "and what the Divine Division exists for?"
