Chapter 3: The Sacrifice of Light
"Monsters!!"
"There's an enemy attack!!"
"Quick! Deal with him! ”
An Ling's sudden attack caught all the bandits off guard, especially the thick blood mist that made the bandits extremely panicked. However, they reacted quite quickly, and when the movement sounded, they ordered to take up arms again, not to look at the convoy, and try to counterattack Anling.
However, this was not a battle, but a simple and simple massacre, and for the bandits, they could not even see An Ling's appearance clearly, they could only see a vague shadow and a silver sword light, and they were suddenly slashed and slashed.
In just a few seconds, the more than 100 bandits turned into fragments and incomplete corpses, sprinkled on the ground weakly and sadly. Let the blood smear the earth.
This is just the result of An Ling's simple use of brute force and physical means, if the power of the abyss is used, then the death of these bandits will be an instantaneous moment, an instant within an instant.
Heads, short limbs, broken entrails, and muddy, still hot blood covered the narrow mountain forest, turning into a brutal hellscape.
An Ling watched this scene with satisfaction, and while slowly walking towards the priest girl in the convoy, with a casual move, more than a hundred human souls were swallowed into his body as food.
However, these souls can be regarded as appetizers, and the delicacy that really makes An Ling look forward to it is the soul with a bright breath of the priest girl.
Slowly approaching the priest girl, An Ling saw her appearance clearly.
The priestess girl was very young, only a few years older than An Ling's current appearance, with snow-white silver hair and a rather beautiful and delicate countenance.
It's a pity that now the sacrificial girl seems to be stupid by the scene in front of her, her eyes are dull, and there are tears on her face.
But her state doesn't matter, no matter what, it won't affect Anling's delicious eating.
Walking slowly to the priest girl, An Ling gently reached out and wiped the tears on her face, and then prepared to start.
"Wow! Woo aaa ”
Suddenly, the sacrificial girl hugged An Ling violently and began to cry.
Such a move made An Ling unexpected, and the bright aura on the girl's body also brought some novel burning pain to An Ling, which stabilized An Ling's human nature that had just been shaken by devouring his soul.
In a trance, a new thought arose in An Ling's heart, and gently stroked the back of her head with the left hand that was originally going to give the girl death, and comforted her in a low voice:
"Alright, it's all right, Your Excellency Priest......"
"Hmm~"
The priest girl quieted down, stopped crying, let go of An Ling and took a step back, and slowly raised her head.
Seeing that An Ling was a young man a few years younger than herself, she was surprised for a second, and then said to An Ling in a weak voice:
"Thank you...... Thank you so much for saving me, Adventurer. Your righteousness shines as brightly as the high sun at noon, and may you be blessed with light. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing the other party's words, the corners of An Ling's mouth twitched unnaturally, and then said:
"No thanks, you are a clergyman, and it is my duty to do it. By the way, Your Excellency, what the hell is going on here? ”
The silver-haired priest girl's face turned pale, and then she said with a deep sad expression:
"I'm going to serve as a priest at the Green River City Church, and because there's a rush over there, we're taking a mountain path that isn't very safe."
"We know there are bandits in the area, but the knights say they are not afraid of bandits...... As a result, I didn't expect these bandits to be so ferocious, and the knights who guarded me were ...... May their souls rest in heaven. ”
Their souls have been eaten by me......
Well, because I didn't kill it with my own hands, I only ate some soul fragments, but I really can't go to heaven.
An Ling complained a few words in his heart, and then made a sympathetic expression on his face, and said to the sacrificial girl with a sad face:
"What a sad accident, so what's next?"
"What's next? I ......"
The girl blinked her eyes in confusion, lowered her head and said pitifully:
"I don't know what to do, although I was saved by you, Your Excellency the Adventurer, but without the escort knight, I can't walk the rest of the road alone......"
Finally hearing what she wanted to hear, An Ling smiled heartily, raised her hand and said:
"Why don't I send Your Excellency Sacrifice to Green River City."
He needs an opportunity to join the WTO, and this opportunity is just right now, and it can also give An Ling a feeling of playing with light.
"Really?"
Despite the anticipation in her heart, the sacrificial girl's eyes lit up.
"Well, I happened to be on my way to Green River City, too."
An Ling nodded affirmatively, smiled at her and said:
"It's just right to go."
The sacrificial girl smiled and said happily:
"That's so much appreciated. Your kindness shines as brightly as your righteousness. ”
"My name is Sheena, thank you for the favor of the light, let me meet you, the kind Excellency."
"Thank you for the light ...... indeed"
An Ling smiled and echoed the words, then glanced at the red and bloody surroundings, and asked:
"It's not a good place to stay long, shall we?"
The young priestess Hina was stunned when she heard this, and her originally joyful face was filled with sadness again, and she bowed her head in loss and said:
"Those knights are very good people, and it would be a shame for them to end up like this."
"I want to pray for them first and pay tribute to his departed heroic soul."
An Ling shrugged indifferently.
"You feel free."
Sheena nodded, knelt reverently on the ground, folded her hands in front of her, closed her eyes and prayed.
An Ling watched quietly and didn't say much.
After the prayer, An Ling and the young sacrificial maiden set out on a journey to Green River City.
Because there were only two people, most of the original convoy was abandoned. The two took only a carriage with them, as well as some necessary things to bring with them.
On the way, An Ling also ate human food in the true sense of the word for the first time.
Some jerky, some coarse dry pastry. It is a dry food for field trips.
However, although it was only some rough food, in Su Mo's eyes, it was much more delicious than those demons in the abyss.
The demons in the abyss, no matter which one they are, taste ten thousand times more disgusting than rotten meat......
"Your Excellency the Adventurer!"
An Ling put down the dry food in his hand and asked the carriage behind him:
"What's wrong, Sheena Sacrifice?"
The girl's voice came from inside the carriage with some shame.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Adventurer, I was so frightened that I forgot to ask your name. Could you please tell me your name? ”
An Ling blinked calmly and said softly:
"My name is An Ling, you can just call me by this name in the future, no need to add honorifics, Priest Sheena."
"Anling? What a strange name...... Ah, Anling, you can also call me Hina in the future, and there is no need to add honorific titles, you are my savior, how can I let you use honorific titles for me? ”
"Okay, Sheena."
An Ling didn't care, picked up the dry food in his hand and continued to nibble on it, because it was too delicious, and he accidentally bit off a few fingers of himself.
