Chapter 27: The Ash Wood Blood Sacrifice (15)
Before returning to Ashwood Village, Aluka and Sinong buried Trehak and the others by the lake, and Trehak's half-melted sword was inserted into the grave as a tombstone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSeeing this scene, Aluka remembered a widely circulated saying: veterans don't die, they just wither. What was Trehack thinking before he died? What regrets did he have? If he were to the point of dying, would he have any regrets?
Regretfully, Aluka felt that she might not have any regrets. He has no courage to die, but he also has no desire to live.
From Trihak, Sinom found a token of Henry's master, a sun amulet inscribed with the name "Henry Burt". With this token, at least they will be able to meet the king of the Rhine, and no one will suspect them of murder for money. After all, no one except Henry knew what the token was, unless he said it willingly.
Aluca, on the other hand, left the theocratic ring from Henry's master, and he always felt that the ruby on the ring was hiding a secret, which he didn't know yet, but he was willing to trust his instincts.
Standing in front ......of the tomb, Sinom asked Aluca, "Will we be attacked by the Blood God as soon as we return to the village?"
Alucca thought for a moment and replied, "No, if He had the courage to face us, he should have done it to us in the first place." Although He may not be afraid of us, He must be afraid of the other Lord Gods of this world, and when His power is revealed, the other Lord Gods will be able to perceive Him. So He would have chosen other ways to deal with us...... What's more, in His eyes, we are just ordinary mercenaries, not worthy of His own action as a god. ”
If he can really be considered a god, Aluka slandered in his heart, could the ancient gods be some kind of test subject?
——
As Arouca expected, the two were not attacked when they returned to the village, but were baptized by the bitter howls and angry scolding of the village chief. Originally, the four mercenaries all defeated the Green Lake Knights, but now there are only two people left, and the village chief Fei De is naturally sad, and it is estimated that he has begun to think about committing suicide in advance so as not to be judged. After receiving the notice of the second main quest, Aluka swore to the village chief that the Green Lake Knights would not attack again, but unfortunately the village chief did not believe it.
That night, Xinon lay on the bed in the inn and couldn't sleep for a long time. He wasn't as confident as he seemed, and the danger of this game of God Destroyer was greater than he could have imagined. When he first heard about it, he thought that he could use this game to achieve status and glory that would not have been possible, and now he just wants to live.
He was actually an unfortunate man. He has an aristocratic appearance and extraordinary talents, but he is a commoner. If he is a nobleman, he can be a general with courage and fortitude, and he can be a handsome person with a good sense of knowledge, no matter how bad he is, he can also be a little white face as a political resource used for family marriage. But a commoner is a civilian, his bloodline determines his future, and no matter how good he is, he is a knight. Knights all have knighthoods, but unlike nobles, they do not distinguish between princes and princes, only the title of "knight". Many knights had castles and fiefdoms, but compared to the nobility, they were at best nouveau riche.
If Sinong can grow up in the game of God Destroyer, improve his bloodline, and gain great power, he can make up another origin. History is always about winning and losing, and no one will question the strong, which gives Xinong a little hope. His dream was to become a human being, to get rid of the status of a commoner......
As the heart flag waved, Xinong suddenly heard a scream. He got up and looked out the window, and saw the hazy night and the light of a fire burning in the distance. The fire flickering between the shadows of the forest has an indescribable beauty that makes it difficult to realize the danger that comes from it.
Firelight......!
Remembering the dispute between Aluca and him, Sinong ran out of the inn in shock. He was still resistant to Aluca's plan to burn the village, but first, his mood changed when he saw the tragic death of the teacher and others, and second, he promised Aluka to support him before. So he didn't plan to run out to stop Aluca, he just prepared to fight. Ash Wood Village was burned, the Blood God couldn't just watch it, right?
The inn was next to the village square, and after running out of the inn, Sinong saw Aluka standing by the well in the center of the square. The villagers were also alarmed by the light of the fire and ran out of their homes in twos and threes. Only a small number of people ran to put out the fire, and their efforts seemed futile. Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the water that should have been burned out when returning from the lake has long been burned out, and the village well can only be fetched by one person at a time. Moreover, there was a fire in the mountain village, the mountain wind cheered, and there were forests nearby, so they were basically not saved.
The village chief Fei De lay in the center of the square and cried incessantly, his appearance can be described as sad and tearful when he saw it. Ashwood Village was a nightmare for him, but it was also all he had. Without Ash Wood Village, he has nothing.
Sinong walked up to Aluuca and asked, "Did you do it?"
Aluca glanced up at him, his face pale and his gaze cold, not admitting or denying it. Gradually, the crying around them increased, the fire grew bigger and bigger, and the homes of the villagers were constantly involved, and they became homeless and homeless. The mentality of the peasants is almost the same, and no matter how good it is, it is not as good as home.
At this moment, Dr. Peter, who had escaped from the hospital with a large pile of books, came to the square. When he saw Aluca, he immediately angrily pointed out: "It's him! He burned down the village!"
Sinong was startled, and wondered if Dr. Peter had seen Aluca's fire, and the villagers looked at Aluka with naked malice in their eyes.
When Aluka finally spoke, he looked at Doctor Peter and said, "If I had set the fire, I should not have stood in the center of the square, but at the entrance of the village, killing everyone who tried to escape...... Well, it seems that my argument has the opposite effect. ”
Of course, it will be counterproductive, and this passage from Aruka is much more vicious than simply setting fire to the village...... By this time, the villagers had completely regarded him as a devil who took pleasure in killing. The advantage is that when normal people face bandits, the number of people will make them full of fighting spirit, and when facing madmen, no matter how many people there are, no one wants to come out, who wants to be the first bird themselves?
Dr. Peter was also very indignant and accused, "What a devil you are!"
"It's up to you to accuse me of being the devil...... It's kind of funny. Aluka laughed and said nonchalantly, "Do you think you're still pretending? I can now be 100% sure that you're the god of blood." ”
Dr. Peter was stunned and asked with a look of incredulity, "What are you talking nonsense?"
"There are only about 100 people in Ashwood Village, and the neighbors have known each other for generations. The Blood God appeared in Greywood Village more than seventy years ago, not an aborigine, and if he wants to live in Greywood Village, he needs an outsider's identity. Otherwise, even if you kill a villager and become like him, your personality will not be perfect, and it will be easy to be suspected. Holding out a finger, Aluka explained, "So from the first day I came to this village, I was already suspicious of you. ”
"Nonsense, Uncle Fed is also an outsider, and he is much more suspicious than I am. Dr. Peter argued.
Sinong also said strangely: "He's right, Aluca, wasn't the person we suspected at the beginning the village chief Feide?"
"That's just me lying, in fact, the person who is least likely to be the Blood God is the village chief of Feide. Why? The reason is simple, because the village chief of Feder hired us to fight off the Knights of the Green Lake. ”
Xinon was even more puzzled and asked, "Is this ...... Isn't that what a blood god should do?"
Aluca shook her head and said, "Not really. First of all, we have to understand what the blood god wants to do, he wants to live! the believer can develop again when he is gone, and he has nothing when he dies. If we were allowed to repel every attack of the Green Lake Knights, the Cult of the Lake God would definitely find out that something was wrong with Greywood Village, and they would send extremely powerful figures, and they might even alarm the Lake God himself, which was something that the Blood God did not want to see. What the Blood God hoped for was that the Greywood Village would be destroyed by the Green Lake Knights as normal, and that he would secretly escape and establish a second Greywood Village in another place. Therefore, the village chief of Feide who hired us here did not match the mentality that the blood god should have, and the only suspect left was Dr. Peter. ”
Seeing what Dr. Peter was about to say, Aluka preemptively said, "You don't have to defend yourself anymore, I still have many reasons to suspect you." You said that you stayed here in grief to investigate the anemia of Ash Wood Village because of the death of your deceased wife. Is this a normal person's mentality? A normal person would choose to leave to avoid touching the scene. And you are different from the village chief Feide, you are the male of the family, and since your wife is dead, the family will no longer embarrass you for a dead person. You leave Ash Wood Village and return to your family, at most you will be punished by your family, and then continue to live a life of fine clothes and food. And if the village chief Fei De leaves, he will run away, because managing Ash Wood Village itself is the family's punishment for him. But you chose to stay, and the reason is not tenable at all.
But I'm a serious person, and I can't just make sure you're a blood god based on subjective judgment. So I deliberately mentioned the plan to burn down the village in the hospital and got into an argument with Brother Xinong. If you are a blood god, you will use my plan to create a hatred mentality among the villagers against me and create infighting among our ranks. What you didn't expect was that we killed your priest and there were only two people left, so even if there was infighting, it would have no effect. So you can't wait to run out and accuse me, trying to kill me with the help of the villagers, is what I said wrong?"
Dr. Peter was silent, and the villagers sensed that something was wrong, and the clever people began to secretly flee outside the village. It took a long time for Dr. Peter to ask, "Who are you?"
"My name is Aluca. Aruka said with a pale face and a smile, "It's a detective!"
The only regret is that he doesn't have a bow voice changer.
