Chapter Forty-Seven: The Wandering Elves (Part II)
It was the name of the unknown woman again, and Ciri didn't know anything about this person, but seeing the panicked look on Viggo's face now, she could know what her image was like in everyone's minds. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ciri was still waiting for what the other party was going to say next, but the sound of a heavy object crashing behind her drew her attention.
Alfonso, who moved to the side of the giant menorah, flipped the candlestick to the ground, and the candle placed on the candlestick also tumbled to the ground at this moment, and the fire still flickered on it, and the fire that fell to the dark ground was like a starlight in the night sky.
The sudden act of violence put Ciri on alert, and the angry and fickle man in front of her now made her deeply wary, and now it was up to her to see what he would do next.
Unexpectedly, Alfonso didn't make any movements, and behind him, a seamless wall slowly moved away, revealing the deep darkness behind it that was imperceptible in the blackness.
"Uncle Alfonso, what are you doing?" Sophie asked the reason for the actions of the person in front of her, she knew the secret passage hidden behind the wall, but she could not understand the reason why the other party had revealed this secret to the world.
"Who's that. Alfonso ignored Sophie's question, his black leather-gloved hand pointed to the side of the dazed Ciri, "Take that man out of here immediately, I think she may have come for that man, I'll look for you later." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't make any stops, and his fast-moving steps made his body pass by Ciri, and his hurried expression looked like a warrior about to go to the battlefield.
"Viggo, take the lady and the sick man out of this place. When passing by Viggo's side, he didn't forget to give a quick order.
"Yes, General. Vigo, who was supposed to be on the opposite side, agreed to the other party's request without hesitation, and his tone was full of adoring respect.
"Can you tell me why you're so afraid of her?" asked Sophie, dissatisfied.
"Now that she's here, she must have brought the army here, and now that something so big has happened, I don't believe she'll give up. In a hurry, he finally stopped in front of Sophie and explained his thoughts in detail: "We all know what the contradiction between the doctor and the Pope is, and I hope you can go with me to see her, and try not to turn this place into a battlefield." ”
"Also, you two, hurry up and don't stay here. Throwing down a sentence, the frizzy general dragged the reluctant Sophie and led a group of guards to disappear into the darkness in front of him, leaving only the two who had not yet reacted to be stunned.
Looking at Sophie, who was almost dragged away in front of her, Ciri felt that things had become very complicated, and the demon hunter on the hospital bed seemed to be involved in some major incident.
"Ma'am, let's go. Viggo on one side proposed, in his opinion, if it dragged on like this, it would be difficult to ensure that the task assigned by the general would be difficult to complete.
"Okay. Ciri moved his steps as soon as he came back to his senses, and Viggo went to the hospital bed where Ned was, and helped the half-dead demon hunter in front of him so that he could barely move his body.
"Can you walk on your own?" put an arm on his shoulder, and the two of them lifted each other from the top of the hospital bed to the ground.
"No, it's a bit difficult to walk. Ned's weak voice said it all, and it was wishful thinking to expect the other party to be able to move around on his own.
"Ma'am, I'll help this gentleman away, and you can get a lantern to light us somewhere." Perhaps because of Ciri's identity, the bald soldier volunteered to do the job himself.
Faced with the other party's proposal, Ciri immediately accepted, rather than holding a person, holding a lantern is more able to cope with the various unexpected situations that may arise next.
The lantern placed on one side was quickly lit by her, and the faint light in her hand supported a small patch of light in the dark environment, and the light of the lantern dispelled the darkness in the secret passage, so that she could observe the real situation in the secret passage.
This is Ciri's first feeling that no one has used for many years, the cobwebs are dense, although this secret passage will not be blocked, but walking in it will bear the entanglement of these filaments all the time. Compared to the harassment of spider silk, what makes Ciri very uncomfortable is the air here, which is rotten and turbid, and staying here for too long will definitely cause the human body to suffocate to death.
And these situations are only on the edge of the entrance, and deep inside, the harsh environment will definitely be more serious. Faced with such a hostile environment, Ciri didn't dare to guarantee that the demon hunters behind him would be able to survive this secret passage.
Just as he was hesitating, Ciri suddenly heard the sound of the gate wall rubbing and moving behind him, and the gate that was originally disguised as a wall quickly closed, and the light that came in from the door completely disappeared in his eyes at this moment, leaving only a thick wall in front of him.
"Let's go. Ned, huh? If you can't stand it for a while, just talk about it. I'll figure it out. Despite what Ciri said, in reality, she couldn't find any solution, and now she can only hope that the other party can survive the difficult journey ahead.
In the dark passage, only the footsteps of the three people floated, and although the surrounding environment was not narrow, it was inevitable that walking in such an environment would make people feel depressed. At the same time, the spider silk that is constantly approaching around people makes people feel irritable, and no one wants to let these filthy things entrench themselves on their heads.
"Ma'am, I'm curious, why do you say something I don't understand, but I can understand what you mean?" Along the way, Vigo, who was the first to be unable to tolerate the oppression of the environment, opened his mouth to find a topic, which was both venting his inner anxiety and expressing his own doubts.
"Because it's a new type of magic. Faced with this question, Ciri casually said that he did not believe that the soldier behind him could read his words.
"So that's ......" The soldier's sudden realization showed that Ciri's deception had succeeded.
"Can I ask a question?"
"Excuse me. ”
"I wonder who Elizabeth is?" Ciri asked the other person suspiciously, and the scene she had just seen noticed that everyone seemed to be afraid of this person, although she didn't know what the reason was, but it made her curious.
"She was the presiding judge of the Inquisition, the entire Inquisition was under her jurisdiction, and she controlled the entire Church after the Pope went into seclusion due to illness. Vigo's words were mixed with fear and resentment as she said the man's name and strength, "Now she actually rules the whole world, and there are her people in every corner of the world, and everything we do is under her watch. ”
"Moreover, she is a very fanatical religious madman, and a few years ago her Inquisition began to hunt down cultists, or people suspected of being cultists, if it was before, she would have been tried after arrest, but now once she is caught, she is directly sentenced to death......" Viggo angrily portrayed an evil woman. And many of my men were innocently executed by them, and the reason why we gathered to revolt was because the people of the Inquisition were so deceitful that one of my men committed suicide because he was afraid of them. ”
Religious horror, Ciri didn't expect that she could witness this scene here in another world, whether it was in the past life or in the present life, the religious atmosphere was not strong, and the sudden big transformation made her difficult to accept for a while.
"Then why didn't she turn her guns on the infidels in the South?" In Healy's mind, the heathen in the South were their favorite targets for such fanatics.
"For before she could turn her guns on us, she had waged one holy war after another, purging all the infidels of the South. With no goal, she can only aim the butcher's knife at us. I don't know if it's an illusion, Ciri heard a feeling of sadness from the other party's tone.
can make one's own followers have such an emotion towards other pagans, I don't know whether it is irony or the cruelty of reality.
"We're at the end?" Ciri tried to keep going, but the wall in front of him blocked his path completely.
"Are there switches around?"
"I'm looking for ......" The lantern in his hand floated around in the darkness of the surrounding environment, looking for the switch in anticipation.
This was the exit, there was no doubt about it, for here she heard a noise through the wall, inaudible, but noticeable. It looks like there's an exciting battle going on on the other side of the wall.
A protruding handle appeared in the light on the wall of "this ......", and with a slight touch, the wall blocking the front of him slowly rose, and the faint light from the outside world entered this old sealed secret passage, accompanied by fresh air.
The light of this world may be because of the red moon in the sky, which always carries a faint blood red, which seems to be a layer of murder hidden in it.
"Let's go. ”
When the outside air entered her nose again, Ciri didn't feel the slightest joy, because outside, the strong murderous aura hidden in the air could cause a violent conflict at any time.
Emerging from the secret passage, Ciri found himself standing in a small remote harbor, and in the clearing not far from it, a large number of soldiers had gathered together, and the road was blocked by a forest of spears, and behind it, the strong smell of gunpowder could pour into his nose like spirit.
