Chapter 603: Eventual Perdition
920
"It's quite a drag." Edward said, "It's not much closer, another guest has entered early, or I'll help you." β
High Priest Hetel rolled his eyes and glanced at the bustling construction site behind him: "We're disappointed, but we didn't plan to end this before the New Year, and even if we are all united now, there is still a quarter of the way to go." β
"How long will this take?"
"It won't be long." "Tonight, or tomorrow after dawn," Hetel said. β
Edward glanced at his watch, then at the sky like a burning cloud in the distance, and took a photo to commemorate it: "Isn't this quite fast?" Listening to what you just said, I thought it would have to wait until next week. β
"It won't be long."
The High Priest seemed to answer Edward's words, and as if to himself: "We do not want to wait any longer, for every plant and tree in this country, every life, divine or not, is looking forward to eternal peace." β
This is a promise he gave us thousands of years ago at the beginning of the founding of the kingdom...... Now it's finally going to happen. β
β¦β¦
"Dude, you're going to dig the river today?"
In a restaurant in Byron that serves a lot of liquor, the blonde bartender brought a large glass of specialty fruit wine and a fresh arrival from the port on a wooden pallet, and greeted his regular customers: "You have to go to work during the day and volunteer labor at night, you are so busy......
He whistled: "I invited you to this cup of fruit wine, what to eat for dinner, do you want to add mint leaves?" β
The familiar man who had just sat down had his black hair trimmed, he was a very typical Southerner-looking man, and he was well-dressed and looked to be educated. He gave the bartender a friendly and reserved smile, nodded and said:
"A pork chop, a tortilla."
"Anderson, give me some mint too, there's a lot of work to do later, I haven't slept for half the night, I need a pick-me-up."
"No problem."
Anderson turned around in a dashing manner, threw the Lie Lang Qi out of his hand like a juggler, and delivered it to another table with precision, and turned to report the guest's request to the back kitchen. When he had done all this, he had no other job to do, so he took his own cup and made a small glass of the same fruit wine, and with a small plate of fresh mint leaves, he wandered to the regular customer, and stood at the table and chatted with him.
Byrand's fruit wine is pure fruit fermentation, with a very low alcohol content, which will not make adults drunk, and to a certain extent, it also has a refreshing effect, and the taste is similar to "Gwadar", which is suitable for all ages. Therefore, it can even be drunk as a daily drink, and even companies don't mind providing some of these drinks to rejuvenate their employees.
"How's it going?" Anderson toasted his regular customers in the air and quipped, "Volunteering makes you look healthier." β
The regular customer smiled modestly, took a sip of the sweet and sour fruit wine while waiting for the main dish, and pinched a mint leaf and put it in his mouth, chewing vigorously to bring out the refreshing and refreshing taste.
"I was touched a lot by the labor during this time, and we all worked together to get answers at the right time."
He spoke in a crepe, and he also had a bit of a Northern Continent feeling:
"Praise death, praise the Lord, and may we all have ultimate peace."
Anderson doesn't believe in any of the gods in the current world, but he never minds pretending to believe in a god wherever he goes to help him quickly gain the trust of the people around him. In the past few months in the Southern Continent, he has also accepted the differences in customs, and is used to this kind of "I wish you a good death" like blessings, Anderson smiled without revealing flaws, and also politely wished the other party a good night's sleep.
As long as your heart is wide enough, how can it not be a blessing to wish you a good death? Even if you don't plan to think about a good death right now.
After speaking, Anderson lowered his voice and asked in a low voice:
"By the way, brother, do you still want to go to the Northern Continent to make a lot of money?"
"I don't hide it from the fact that I have a way here, and the private boat of a friend who is begging for a living at sea is willing to run back and forth to transport goods, and can pick us up by the way. Hey, the two sides have been closed to traffic for a long time, and I also miss my friends over there. β
It did take a lot of effort for Anderson to contact Edwinna, and the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" did not sail much after Lenburg was annexed to Rune. It is said that the function of the church was changed due to the merger, because the Thunder Church originally had many "captains", and there was no need for a "pirate captain" who originally belonged to the Church of God of Knowledge and Wisdom to bring his own team of Extraordinary at sea as a small time bomb.
What's more, the "captain" who was released to digest the potion was already prone to rebellion.
After all, there are many opportunities at sea, and it is much faster than accumulating merit in the church. It's just that when you have been a pirate for a long time, you really become a pirate.
ββ¦β¦ If it weren't for Adevina's dedication to studying history, and only concentrating on adventures at sea, without being attacked and not attacking others, then the Thunder Church wouldn't have allowed them to continue their short adventures at sea so easily......"
Anderson was distressed about Adewina's "friendship price" 20 pound ticket, but heard that the old acquaintance in front of him, who was originally bent on going to the Northern Continent to make money, rejected his proposal:
"No thanks."
"Anderson, I've decided to stay here, I'm from Bairan, and staying here for the end is my destiny and destiny."
Well? It's rare for the outside world to see this kind of believer that God wants you to die and really die! Anderson was a little surprised:
"But stay here, won't you just ...... Hi brother, I know you're very religious and religious, but you're only nineteen years old, and you haven't dated the girl you like once, why- there's no need to let your life end so soon, right? β
"Why is it not necessary? At the end of the day, we will receive God's gaze. β
"But...... What about after watching? Your life has just begun. β
"My life doesn't matter, but I can leave with God at the end."
β¦β¦ Anderson was stunned, he could understand the other party's thoughts a little, but he couldn't understand it at all, at least he felt that most people in this world would not think of taking the initiative to end their lives when their lives were full of hope. Fortunately, the back kitchen informed him that the meal that the guest had just ordered had been ready. He thought briefly on the way back and forth, and decided to respect, not understand, and bless the choices of these Bairan people.
"Also, I hope you can be happy in that moment."
"Thank you."
Anderson brought the meal, winked at the other party, and then prepared to greet the others: "Happy eating." β
To be honest, Anderson didn't have a deep affection for this guest who had known him for half a year, he was a mature hunter and explorer, and the other party's suicide behavior might not have grieved him without a personal share of Adewina's ferry ticket.
"Get out as soon as possible...... Adevina said that she would come in the next two days, that this place was going to be destroyed, and that I had to leave quickly. He thought.
Just as he was about to walk away directly, he was stopped by the other party.
"By the way, Anderson, my job is actually the notarization of property in the city government, you know, we are all going to follow in the footsteps of the gods and leave, so most of the relics that most people want to take with them are the bones of their families, so there is a lot of useless gold and silver left......"
Anderson's ears pricked up.
The regular customer opened the folder he carried with him and took out a few pieces of paper from it:
"Gold and silver are deterrent things, and they can be carried in normal times, but not at this time. You are one of the few friends I have, and my family is long gone, so I intend to give you my possessions, not much, and I will make a list when the time comes. If you're willing to accept it, just sign it. Also, there are a lot of people who want to give away their gold and silver, you have been working here for half a year, you are friendly, you are a serious worker, you are our pagan friend, I can help you fight for it. β
"I am a very enlightened person, and if you don't want to die, I wish you to live more comfortably."
β¦β¦ Anderson didn't know what to say for a while, but in the face of such kindness, he smiled bitterly and wiped his nose a little uncomfortably: "Thank you, but I don't have anything to give you, I'm just a servant." Originally, I also gained a lot of property in the adventure, but there was a period of bad luck before, and I lost everything I earned. β
"You're welcome, you helped me get out of the restaurant, and I've always thanked you."
In the end, the young man of Byron, who was already determined to die, and was not yet twenty years old, had a shy smile on his face:
"Also, I proposed to her yesterday, and she agreed, so we can hold hands and welcome that moment together."
"Bless us, my friend, I am very happy."

"Are you, come to join us, yes?"
Medici wanted to scratch his head when he heard this, he couldn't understand why Calamity City had become so personal and trendy during the time he had been dead, not only in the magical haunted house style, but also in the intermittent manner of the staff.
Is this a provocation or an intimidation? I don't seem to feel anything.
Do you want to answer or pretend you didn't hear? Medici was also a little unsure.
He remembered the memories of his contact with the other party, but at that time the City of Calamity was not as alive as it was now, and only simply expressed his displeasure with the Medici's desire to control it, and tried to engulf the Medici as soon as he made contact.
And under the "mediation" of the ancient sun god, no matter how dissatisfied the city of calamity is, Medici will be fine.
Despite the fact that the matter of contact with essentia was forced to drag on and on, Medici managed to steal a little of his power during that contact, and he got a sign that was useless most of the time and only looked good.
Now the sigil was finally usefulβthe banner was heating up, as if it were a reaction from his surroundings, and Medici didn't feel like he was being eroded and delirious.
He stared at the head that was being held horizontally in his hand, and the other man stood a few meters away, smiling grimly at him.
Seeing that Medici had not answered, the smile on the face of the light red head expanded, the corners of the mouth were cracked all the way to the base of the ear, the red muscle fibers were pulled in the crack along with the smile and the action of opening, and the mouth of the head opened and closed:
"You, what's the matter, so, weak, you?"
"That, witch, almost killed you."
"You have been, can't, let us again, awe ......"
The other party's smile became more and more terrifying, and his mouth had cracked to the limit, as if his entire jaw would fall in the next second.
After the head said these words, a strange chuckle came from nowhere, and the laughter repeated and superimposed, sometimes near and sometimes far, more and more sharp. It was as if there were countless unseen people surrounding Medici, and it was as if the whole city was laughing at the miserable appearance of the king of angels who had fallen all the way from Sequence 0, and now only one Sequence 1 remained, and he was also seriously injured.
The black windows of the building turned into mouths, and billowing smoke came out, blackening the sky.
They gathered towards the center of the city, like a moving wall, and approached Medici, intending to devour the angel.
Medici was speechless:
"And what did you do in Bansey? Let's hear it. Is lightning storm with a big octopus head fun? Do you want me to recite His name now, oh, He's not enough, I have to recite God's, and let Him come and refresh us all? β
Calculating the time, the invasion of the city of calamity into reality should be almost detected by the various high sequences, whether they will do anything Medici doesn't know, but Crane has to let his doppelganger open his eyes to see the situation.
He sneered, and threw himself on the wooden plank behind him:
"It's been a long time, if you can't get angry, then swallow me in one gulp."
"Eat me and the emperor today, eat Chick tomorrow, destroy the old octopus the day after tomorrow and eat the red priest only raw, and the day after tomorrow incarnate the old day and return to touch fists with God and the 'fool', whoever loses will be a dog to the other party."
After saying this, Medici saw that the smile on the skull's face did not shrink, but became more eerie.
Pulling the tiger skin of God and Crane is already something Medici usually doesn't want to do, and if the other party doesn't react, then Medici will have to find another way. Medici thought for a moment and sneered:
"Loftus-Cheek can drive you too?"
The head did not answer, but suddenly changed to a more strange smile, and said in the tone of a certain family junior:
"Ancestors."
"You, can, get, power,"
"Pay, what?"
Medici certainly couldn't have put his chips on the line, even if he looked down, he still shouldn't. He threw the question back:
"What do you want?"
The head smiled and replied, "Everything." β
As he spoke, the world around Medici changed suddenly.
His mind was blurred for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself on a horse with a sword in his hand, wearing black and red armor, and facing the army of the Extraordinary Beings on the opposite side, and he immediately understood what he was going to do, so he led his army like a sharp knife to tear through the opponent's defenses, and he laughed and harvested all the lives around him, men, women, and children;
Turning his gaze again, he realized that he had just finished a suppression and slaughter of the city.
It was time for the aftermath, it was all over, and now the sky was red with fire, the earth was boiling hot, steaming with blood-red steam, and the cry to "kill if you see the enemy" echoed in their hearts over and over again, and everyone enjoyed this plunder and trampling from the bottom of their hearts.
Some memories were owned by Medici, and some were not remembered by him.
Only countless wars, destructions, and caracres are the leitmotif of these fragmented memories, and the sky is forever covered with clouds like precursors of destruction, ominous stars shine, plague and death follow, tenderly filling every trench and ruin.
What remains unchanged is that Medici always appears as the party inflicting the calamity in these strange fragments of memory, and those tyrannical, happy, ecstatic emotions surround him, urging him to become the messenger of calamity, the embodiment of destruction.
