Chapter 42: The Old Beggar's Prophecy of Madness

Lance also stood up at this time. The pen and fun www.biquge.info took a closer look at where he was now.

It is a spacious wood-framed lobby with a clear view of the wooden beams above the roof, and a neat and compact cross-shaped dome. The red wooden beams are carved with delicate and vivid reliefs. Under the shaking of the firelight, it was as if they were all alive. Looking at the towering empty room, Lance was sure that this was the Mahogany Chapel.

The White Dragon Princess Loxani looked at Lance and explained, "The reliefs on it all tell the story of Flobelga, the goddess of justice. It seems that this temple is dedicated to Flobelga. ”

However, the prosperity above cannot cover the bleakness below. The wooden benches that had been neatly arranged were all piled up aside.

And the empty center of the chapel was now filled with weeping and wailing patients, hundreds of people. They were all lying on the ground in pain and weakness, with pus-draining wounds on their faces and bodies.

A foul smell mixed with alcohol came to my face, and it smelled terrible. It seems that these people are all villagers infected with the plague of the undead.

Lance looked around, and people's faces were full of tiredness and depression, whether they were sick or not. Some of them leaned against the pillar, some leaned against the wall, their eyes glazed and their expressions solemn. Even the nurses and nuns who cared for the sick wore white and black lily-style burqas with disappointment and seriousness on their faces.

With the roars of the zombies outside the chapel, the chapel was full of suppressed emotions at this time. Originally, Lance thought that it should be people who were so frightened that they fled and screamed in panic. At this time, it was unusually quiet, even dead silence. Only the occasional feeble "thank you" or two can let Lance know that they are human beings.

Lance followed André and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa Andre, what happened in the town to make it like this?"

At this time, Andrei did not speak, he was just quietly bandaging the wound of a wounded man who looked like a soldier, and the wounded man's left arm was gone. Seeing the neat incision on the wound, it should have been cut off with a sharp weapon.

"Young man, Andre is bandaging Tony's wounds, don't disturb him. Come here, you can ask me any questions. Just as Lance waited for André to answer. An old man with a ragged white beard leaning against a pillar on the side spoke.

"Thank you, old man. Lance led Roxani to the white-bearded old man's side.

"Sit down, lad. You don't have to call me grandpa, just call me 'Old Beggar' Marcus. If you want to think it's too long, you can call me an old beggar, that's what everyone calls me anyway. "Saying 'old beggar,' Marcus beckoned Lance to sit beside him.

"How can I call you that, it's so rude. I'll call you Grandpa Marcus. Lance sat down, and asked, "Grandpa Marcus, what happened here, how did it come to be?" Are the undead so powerful?"

"This undead is not only powerful, this time it has been calculated, at least the lesion is under control, and this is also thanks to the Naheni magic flower you sent in. The old beggar Marcus sighed and said:

"I have lived here in Menice for more than 40 years. Experienced two falls of Ménice. At that time, it was the real purgatory on earth. 19 years ago, the orc legion of the demon clan gathered a total of 20,736 men, women, and children captured from all over the territory of Idiris, near the current Ménice Square. Afterward, one of the Death Lords of the Undead Legion walked out, wearing armor covered in blue flames. He swung the same large scythe in his hand that was also glowing with blue flames. Suddenly, the 20,736 people let out a painful wail at the same time, as if they were all tormented by the flames. In the end, countless blue souls were extracted, as if they had been sacrificed alive. The scythe-wielding Death Lord bound the souls of these men to a silver cross in the center of the square. With a spell. Suddenly I heard countless ethereal voices singing hymns, ethereal and terrifying chants. Suddenly!"

Hearing this, Lance and Loxani, who was lying on Lance's shoulder, were startled. His eyes widened like bull's-eyed, and he waited intently to hear what was next.

But another young man on the side said in a mocking tone: "Suddenly, a man in a burqa with a height of more than twenty meters and a body full of green slurry appeared, right?"

Lance turned his head to see a young man in a dark blue cloth coat and a tattered fur hat.

He threw a peanut in his hand and threw it in his mouth, then laughed contemptuously and said, "Yo, old beggar." Do you tell me all the stories you made up again? Tell me how many people you've deceived over the years. ”

When the old beggar Marcus heard that someone had smashed his field, he was furious, and when he stood up, he scolded: "Ivan! Don't spread rumors! What I said is true, I have seen it with my own eyes, is it false?"

The young man, Ivan, pushed away the old beggar Marku, who was blowing his beard and glaring at him. He sneered and said:

"I'm spreading rumors? Ask everyone who believes your words? The man in the burqa, which is more than 20 meters tall, is still dripping with green slurry and singing hymns. Just make it up. Even the tallest stone man in the world is only 8-10 meters tall. Besides, 20,736 people? How do you know so clearly? Still alive? sounds ridiculous. And 19 years ago, even the Duke of Aceh ran away, how could you stay. Why weren't you sacrificed alive? You better stop spreading rumors. You are a former deserter who abandoned honor, and your mouth is full of lies, what do you say?"

"What's the noise, get out of here if you quarrel again!" At this time, Andrei on the side reprimanded, and Ivan and the old beggar Marcus parted ways and returned to their previous positions.

Seeing that the old beggar Marcus, who was originally happy, was now angry and disappointed. Lance couldn't bear it. So he whispered to the old beggar Marcus, apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Marcus. It's okay, I trust you. ”

"Do you believe me? do you really believe me?" said the old beggar Marcus, whose face regained his excitement when he heard Lance's words.

Lance looked at the suddenly excited old man in front of him with an embarrassed face, and had no choice but to nod.

In fact, Lance didn't believe it in his heart, after all, he didn't know much about the world. This is another living sacrifice of tens of thousands of people, and it is a person more than 20 meters high, no matter how it sounds, it seems to be fake. However, Lance still couldn't bear to refute an enthusiastic old man like this.

The old beggar Marcus excitedly grabbed Lance's hand and said, "Young man, I can tell from your appearance that you are not ordinary! ”

When the white dragon princess Loxani heard this, she muttered and complained: "His red pupils are unusual for even fools......

Lance hurriedly glanced at Roxani, and Roxani stopped talking.

The old beggar Marcus did not seem to hear Roxani's complaints, but said excitedly to himself: "They are all mortals, mediocre people! These people will never be able to access the truth all their lives, and they are doomed to do nothing all their lives." Young man, I think I have a relationship with you. I'll tell you a secret. ”

Looking at the mysterious and cautious expression on the face of the old beggar Marcus, Lance's heart suddenly became nervous. Did you encounter some adventure: "What secret?"

The old beggar Marcus covered his hand, and then said to Lance with a look of dauntedness:

"Unbeknownst to the world, today's events have already been prophesied by the 'Wall of Venian Sophia'. It reads: The four gods are open, and the sisters are on the wall. The dawn of the world is broken, and the mountains and rivers are slaughtered. The blood flag covers the sun, and all things do not die. The dragon envoy of the seven directions, the blood flower blooms. The stars fell, and the white roses fluttered. Good is also evil, tears fill the sea. ”

Lance asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

The old beggar Marcus's eyes widened, and then he suddenly grabbed his hand, looked at him with fear, and said:

"I see that darkness is coming, that the flames will consume the earth, and that all living beings will be enslaved or become immortal spirits. And the descendants of the creator demon god Craig, the 12 rebel gods, will return to this world. And their return will destroy this beautiful world. So, we, we have to stop this, kill them. ”
