Volume 2 Why the Sun Shines Chapter 89 The Sun in the Orphanage (7)
Early in the morning of May 17, Able put on the rookie hunter costume issued by the church and wore the sterling silver medal on his chest.
By the time of the second round of the planned three-day Hunter's Day, he and Margaret were about to enter the orphanage. After greeting Jackson and reporting back to Maria's Church, Margaret insisted on going to the chapel's chalice to pray for blessings, as was customary for hunters before they set out.
Margaret clasped her hands together and began to whisper prayers in her mouth after placing the incense candle engraved with their names into the chalice.
"Thank you to the sun god for illuminating our front, and let the fire of life burn without fear of the gray mist and the corrosive influence of the wicked.
Clarice, the goddess of the moon, blessed Abel, that we could walk on this moonlit land, blessed tonight and night.
Misa..."
After the final prayer, Mass, she blew out the candle in the chalice and poured the pure water into both cups.
Facing the cup handed over by Margaret, Abel's first thought was whether the water soaked in candles could be drunk: "Is this... Not very hygienic. ”
Margaret sighed helplessly, sure enough, there was a reason why the blasphemer was called so, she brought the cup closer, and her eyes signaled to Abel to drink it: "Drink it the first time you go to purify, and you should bless ourselves." ”
Abel had no choice but to twist his face and drink it in one gulp, and sure enough, there was a smell of candles, and he complained in his heart that the church should improve the blessing ceremony.
After he pinched his nose and drank it in one gulp, he urged with an uncomfortable expression: "Is there anything else, let's go without it, there is not enough time, and it will be too dangerous to wait for the night to fall." ”
Margaret gazed at the statues of the sun god and the moon god and nodded: "No, everything is ready." ”
As always, she drove the steam to carry Abel through a not-so-short journey to the Blessed Orphanage, only this time to stop outside the front gate.
Taking out the black and white snapshot in the data book, Abel compared the snapshot with the real orphanage with emotion, and now the walls of the building in front of him were occupied by vines and moss, and most of the iron components had long been rusted.
The door was plastered with a church warning sign, but Abel ignored it, and gently pushed open the rusty door.
As soon as he entered, a flock of crows on the top of the orphanage building swirled and flew up, landing near the two of them one by one, making their characteristic sounds from time to time.
It's just that the crow subspecies of Wangcheng is large and scary, with scarlet eyes, long pointed beaks, crimson feathers, and a wingspan of about half a meter, they are essentially small monsters that have formed a coexistence with humans.
There are no recorded sightings in the inner part of the city, and most of them nest on the edge of human activity, such as buildings that have been abandoned for many years, or in the bushes near wheat fields.
Sometimes the underground inhabitants of the royal city found cremating the remains expensive, and some would sacrifice the remains to them on the grounds that they would return their souls to the sky.
Margaret covered her mouth and whispered in surprise, "What a big crow..."
Abel put his hands in his pockets and replied slowly: "Actually, crows are also monsters, but they only eat dead remains, because they always gather in dangerous places where there are many corpses, and hunters regard their cries as a sign of death. If you look at their eyes, they probably want to eat us for a while. ”
After he finished speaking, Margaret began to observe the eyes of these royal city crows, and sure enough, the scarlet eyes had begun to glow slightly.
Seeing this, Abel joked rarely: "Their shouts are translated into human language, and they are going to die, humans, I haven't eaten lunch yet!" ”
He had always given people the two main impressions of being steady and unkind to outsiders, and he was an intermittent stumbling person, but now he actually told a joke humorously, and Margaret was amused by this contrast, and her heart that had been tense could not help relaxing.
She put the pistol she was holding tightly back on her waist and said slowly:
"Thank you, Abel."
Abel 'revealed his true form' and stumbled again: "No, no... You're welcome, Miss Margaret, being too nervous will make your actions flawed. ”
Margaret was accustomed to Abel's occasional stuttering, and asked calmly, "What should we do next, do we want to break in directly?" ”
Abel took out a piece of rope and motioned for them to move to the roof of the building to observe Louis's condition and try to end the battle in his weakest state.
This can also keep an eye on whether Elsa is coming, and prevent her from taking advantage of the chaos to deal with herself and Luis.
He threw the hook at the end of the rope a few times and threw it far away to the roof of the orphanage, successfully hooking it.
"Let's go."
Margaret and he slowly climbed up to the roof along the rope, but Margaret came to the roof, accidentally glanced at the ground and immediately closed her eyes and didn't dare to open them - she was afraid of heights.
Sighing helplessly, Abel asked her to open up, "It's okay, open it, you won't fall." ”
Margaret closed her eyes, clasped her hands tightly, and said in a trembling tone, "You promise?" ”
"Hmm... I promise. ”
It took a while to convince Margaret to slowly open her eyes: "Don't look at the ground, see where the wolf-like we're looking for is." ”
With the help of the large skylight on the southeast side of the orphanage, they could observe the situation on the top floor, but they couldn't see Louis after several searches, but the good news was that Aisha was not found either.
Able had no choice but to kneel down and put his ear to the skylight and wait for the next wolf howl to judge the approximate location by sound.
Seeing this, Margaret also knelt down and began to listen to the movements in the orphanage.
The two looked at each other, and for about five minutes, a wolf howl full of hunger and dissatisfaction rang out.
Abel asked, "Do you hear that?" ”
"I heard that, but I couldn't pinpoint the location."
Margaret had not been baptized by extraordinary powers, and her hearing was not as sharp as Abel's: "I think it's on the first floor." ”
"But you can't see the first floor here, you can only see the broken carpet on the top floor, all hairy."
Just as they were about to go down, the main entrance of the orphanage was suddenly kicked open, and an angry shout came: "Louis, I know you are here, come out and eat bullets!" ”
Abel was stunned for a moment, does this sound so much like Uncle David's voice?
Margaret was confused by the unexpected situation and said, "Are there any other hunters besides Aisha to purify Louis?" ”
"Not a hunter," Abel rubbed his hands in annoyance, "This voice sounds too much like an old friend of my father's. ”
"Francis's old friend? What kind of big guy does that have to be? ”
"He's a Helen, his name is David Homa, and he was once a legend of the Central Mountains, and people called him Duke of Pistol."
Just as Abel was trying to tell if it was David, Margaret suddenly screamed and hurriedly pushed him on the shoulder. He looked around and noticed that the inexplicable gray mist was beginning to gather inside the orphanage.
Flocks of crows also join the party, each of them flying through the gray mist and indulging in noise.
Abel said slowly: "Oh no, I have only heard of this extraordinary power that the goddess of death has, how can it come to join in the fun." ”
The goddess of death did come to the mess, because if David's revenge succeeded, then Louis would definitely die.
Louis is gone, and in the face of David in the sixth stage of the extraordinary derivation, Aisha may not come, and the fight with Abel's blood relatives will come to naught.
At this time, David on the first floor was holding a cigar and looked around angrily for Louis: "Don't you like to scream, why is it quiet!?" You can't run away, Louis, I've been looking for you for eight years, and you won't survive today! ”
The gray fog that gathered like a storm blocked his way to the second floor of the orphanage.
Looking at the indescribable things looming in the gray mist, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't try to get in my way, today is different from the past in Norman." ”
David threw away his cigar and stomped on it, exerting all the extraordinary power he had gained in Stage 5, and a huge domination realm was dissolved.
Each Extraordinary Derivation, after completing the Advancement of Stage 5, will complete the Advanced Evolution and gain the right to the Bit.
Position right is a more abstract generalization, which can be divided into bit and right. Power refers to the power that can only be exercised by high-level extraordinary powers.
For example, before Stage 5, power was mostly only shown in the form of 'ability', like a dreamer can make dreams. But if it is right, then the dreamer can define that baboons can dream of humans.
The position is the essential difference between the branches of extraordinary power, and the use of 'power' is not arbitrarily rewritten, and the low position cannot be usurped to the higher position.
For example, the high-level dreamer wants to define that humans can dream of baboons, but the gods in the Black Temple use the highest position to stipulate the general rules of the world, and humans only dream of humans, so his rewriting of the definition will end in failure.
The difference between the high and low positions is determined by the competition for the origin sequence among the highest abilities of all branches, and after the order is determined by the sun god in the Black Temple, the high and low positions of the extraordinary derivatives are determined. The supreme beings on the human side have maintained the system and have not changed.
The sun gets the highest 'position', followed by the crescent moon derivation, and the totem derivation is incomplete because there is no god stage person born, which is one of the reasons why this derivation is so disliked.
The extraordinary derivative ranking reveals the level of the bit, and the phoenix of the extraordinary derivative of its eleventh is ranked eleventh.
With the help of the Duke's branch's unique dominating ability, the gray mist in the realm trembled because of an extremely high power to seize power, and David opened his hands, and the gray mist of the goddess of death was cut into gray lines one by one.
Knowing the true face of the goddess is a very regrettable feeling, looking at the indescribable inhuman thing, David sarcastically said: "You are so ugly, what are these dozens of limbs and eyes?" ”
After seizing power, he used the gray line in turn and harvested the goddess double in the blink of an eye.
The Goddess of Death did not resist, but concentrated on summoning more gray mist to shroud the periphery of the realm.
"You should resist, you know? Otherwise, the day I find you, I won't be able to resist. ”
The gray line is like cutting a steak, dividing the goddess into pieces of remains.
At this moment, the voice of the goddess herself suddenly sounded, saying: "I just don't want you to disturb the bloody fight between the two blasphemers, the price of a stand-in is worth it." ”
When the gray fog cleared, David realized that he was so focused on killing the goddess double that he had been transferred from the orphanage to a wilderness.
