Chapter 145: Lily's Choice
Hai Lei closed her eyes and touched the earth with both hands, as if a powerful life force emanated from all around. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The trees, which were already large enough, began to grow rapidly under the impetus of this power, and those strange branches stretched out into the sky like countless pythons.
The crowd did not have time to sigh at the greatness of life, and the procession rushed into the woods to find the carriage, and by this time the stone carvings had chased them in and out, and raised their feet and stepped towards them.
But as soon as its feet were raised, it was tightly entangled by more than a dozen twisted branches, and the stone sculpture seemed to feel something strange, and actually lowered its head to take a look.
At this moment, the stone sculpture behind it also followed, directly hitting its back.
It was like two mountains colliding together, and with a loud rumbling sound, countless boulders rolled down, and Anna picked up the sea bud on the ground and quickly walked through the woods to dodge.
Renault also led the team and ran forward desperately.
More stone sculptures crowded at the door of the main hall, waving their huge fists angrily, smashing them headlessly, and actually smashed two stone pillars outside the main hall.
Boom -
Without the support of the stone pillars, the main hall began to collapse, the earth shook, and the smoke and dust filled the sky, which made people feel thrilled when viewed from a distance.
"Luckily, I ran fast enough. ā
Looking at the hall that had collapsed into a mess of rocks, Anna gasped in fear.
Looking at the team again, everyone was pale and gray-faced, but they all grinned and laughed silently.
Renault released the injured little spider, but in a moment's time, its damaged long legs had fully grown, but it looked a little weak.
"Let's go, little thing, you have to live well. ā
I'd love to take him away, but I don't even know what kind of creature it is, and I don't know if it's going to cause any trouble along the way, and he'll come back again anyway.
The little spider spun around twice on the ground and made a cackling sound.
"It's actually thanking you. Anna said in amazement.
Renault shrugged, "I hope its thanks will last a little longer." ā
Counting the goods, the harvest is very good. First of all, there were the mysterious branches, which filled two wagons full of enough for him to make a lot of things.
Then there are the Black Absolute Stones, there are more than sixty of them in total.
According to the previous verbal agreement, he gave six to Mia, so that Mia, who was gradually coming to her senses, looked at him meaningfully.
As for Lily, Renault didn't even think to give it to her. Of course, if Lily asks for it, Renault may consider it, but seeing that she looks nervous and guards Xiqi, it is estimated that she does not have this mind for the time being.
Renault, on the other hand, was constantly thinking about how he could impress Lily's heart before leaving the ruins, so that she would willingly follow him back to Black Iron Town.
This is a difficult task, and judging by Lily's performance, she is very loyal to the temple.
As the convoy passed by the stone wall where the Great Spider was used as a specimen, Lily asked Anna to remove the corpse of the priest who was still hanging on it, and then cut a deep hole in the stone wall and buried him in it.
On the fourth day of the return trip, the convoy, which was already very tired, finally came to the entrance of the ruins, and found that the stone gate was still open, and Renault was immediately upset.
Didn't you say it's only open for one day?
Renaud led the team to hesitate to leave the stone gate, and just when he stepped on the sand by the black lake, a bloated figure suddenly appeared in the darkness, and behind him, there were four pairs of golden armor.
Looking at these five people, Lily's face instantly became ugly, and she stood at the front of the line and said coldly, "I'm surprised to see you here, Afal steward. ā
"Hehe......" the obese Afar let out a long series of ugly laughs, "I was just commissioned by the Bishop to help Steward Gasol complete this mission. ā
He paused and continued: "Unfortunately, I have heard rumors that the Gasol steward has been killed. Oh, poor fellow, though we have always been at odds, he has always been a member of the Temple, may the Demon God bless his soul. ā
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Lily frowned deeply.
"Don't pretend to be innocent in front of me, Lily," Afalpi said with a smile, "Gasol was killed by Renault, and he's alive and well on the same side as you. Can I understand that you have betrayed the Gasol steward and become an enemy of the temple?"
"Nonsense!" Lily cried out, "I don't know how Gasol died, I will never betray the Temple!"
"Really?" said Afar with a sly laugh, "then you know now. ā
After saying that, he looked at Lily for a long time, and the meaning was very obvious: If you want to prove what you said, then kill Renault to avenge Gasol.
Lily bit her lip and looked at Renault, her gaze as if questioning. Renault saved her once, and she saved Renault once, and it seems that the two don't owe each other any more. But she is not a mercenary businessman, and she can't calculate favors as clearly as gold coins.
What if Renault really killed Gasol?
The way she frowned, and the grim face of Gafar, looked at Renault's eyes, and she only felt funny.
He almost wanted to find a place to laugh, and it seemed that he was lucky, and he really wanted to do something, and he was worried that there was no chance to kidnap Lily, so the temple sent a fool to help him.
With Lily's character, he helped her get out of the ruins and saved Ciqi, and it was impossible for her to turn her face and kill him right now.
Of course, it would be just as difficult for her to betray the Temple.
Looking at Lily, who was in a dilemma, Renault said slowly, "That's right, Gasol was killed by me." ā
He was so frank that Lily was stunned for a moment, and showed a bitter smile, "Yes." ā
"But I killed him for a reason, and you know better than anyone that Gasol has killed more people than you have saved. ā
Lily was silent, which was an undeniable fact.
"Another example is this Afar steward, why is he blocking the entrance and waiting for us, you won't be so simple as to think that he came here and forced you to kill me, it will be for Gasol, right?" he took out a black stone from his arms and shook it in front of her, "He came to grab things, what he said just now was, he didn't care if Gasol died or not." Not only did he want to kill me, but he would also kill everyone behind me, including Mia, Julian, Anna, Hele, all the soldiers, would you help him do that?"
"Nope. Lily said firmly, "I won't allow this to happen no matter what." ā
"But this is the order of the temple, and this is the way your temple acts!" Renault's tone was a little sharp.
Lily's face was slightly gloomy, "Gafar doesn't represent the temple, the temple...... It's not like that. ā
"Then open your eyes and see who represents the temple now, it's you, or them!"
Lily turned around and saw four priests coming forward behind Jafar, four golden swords and gauntlets inlaid with emerald gems.
Each one is a powerful force.
"Spare the innocent. Lily said, "I will take Renaud back to the temple to plead guilty." ā
Jaafar laughed, laughter with disdain.
Lily also felt that she had said a stupid thing, how could they stop when they had been guarding the door for so long? since they were going to kill the people of the royal family, there would not be a single living person left on the scene, including her, of course, as an unstable factor.
"You're going to grab the Black Stone...... Then come and pick it up. ā
As she spoke, her eyes, like her long hair, had lit up and turned a golden color.
