Chapter 13: You Can Hide It (Ask for Follow-up)

At the moment when the gloomy man blew himself up, Joshua's keen five senses sensed something unusual, and he immediately retreated enough distance.

"This is some kind of forbidden speech, once the person who has fallen into this kind of magic intends to say the taboo set in advance, it will be like this, and the direction that the person pointed just now should not be lying."

Lilith looked in the direction the man was pointing, but looking for someone here was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack as she was unfamiliar with the place, and she turned her gaze to Joshua.

According to Lilith's observations, Joshua barely took any time to find him, and it can be said that he locked on to this person in the first place.

"As long as there is direction, it's fine."

Joshua replied calmly.

Previously, he could cover most of the Black Mountain Town with the 360-degree deployment of the power of forgiveness, so now what about the reconnaissance of this power in a specific direction?

As Joshua looked his spirit in that direction, he found a great deal of negativity.

The fanatical beliefs of adults, and the fear of helplessness in children.

"Abandoned mines, you can hide."

"I'll go too, it's too dangerous for you to be alone."

Lilith stopped Joshua, who was going to go to the mine alone, not entirely out of concern for Joshua's safety, but because she was worried that the results of the goddess's divine power that had been so hard to correct would be lost.

At least with her going, Joshua might be able to do less sin and get back to the right path as soon as possible.

In fact, for personal safety reasons, it is best to let the local noble lords exterminate these people at this time, after all, children are also labor in the future, and they can be regarded as the assets of the nobles and cannot be lost, and human traffickers are such things that everyone can get and be punished, and killing them can also bring a wave of fame.

However, Joshua and Lilith, who were born in their own place and in high places, understood that since the other party had the ability to mute members, then the death of this person might have alarmed the other party at this time.

If you don't go at this time, it will be troublesome for the other party to move their positions once they move their positions, and no one knows the time of the blood sacrifice.

You can't joke with the lives of those children.

"This kid can't be put here."

Joshua glanced at the unconscious child, he was not at ease about throwing such a child in such an alley.

"I'll set up a protective barrier and have Doris come and receive the child."

"Okay."

Since the other party has said this, then Joshua has no reason to refuse, with this holy woman by his side, the risks that those children may encounter can be minimized.

Lilith chanted the spell, and soon a glimmer of light appeared in the dark alley, and Joshua, who was on the side, once again borrowed his keen five senses to detect the process of Lilith's spell.

"Incantations? It should be the spirit of words, right? ”

In fact, when Joshua was able to release the Purifying Flame without reciting a spell, he had thought about the meaning of the spells used by most magicians, and he finally understood at this time.

The key to success in unleashing a spell is not the spell, but the number and structure of the elements, as long as you know the construction of magic, you can use magic and mental power to construct magic.

In this process, the mantra stimulates the elements in a special tone, causing them to enter an active or inert state.

Incantations are not just words that ordinary people can hear, but there are also sounds like ultrasound that ordinary people can't hear, and the elements are more sensitive to such sounds, which is why Joshua called them spirits.

"Let's go."

After arranging the enchantment, Lilith said something to a piece of jade wrapped in runes, and then Doris's voice came from the jade, it should be said that she is worthy of being the holy daughter of the church, and there are really a lot of treasures at hand.

The wind lifted Joshua's body, causing his body, already strengthened by the power of original sin, to explode even faster.

"Magic is magical."

"The most basic Wind Riding Technique and Feather Falling Technique, although our gods have divine skills given by the gods, the available methods are too single, and it will be very dangerous to the enemies who have mastered multiple means, so they will also cultivate magic or fighting spirit."

Lilith, who is also a god, reminded from the side.

She had seen many Divine Favorites swell after they had acquired their magical powers, and it was not uncommon for them to die because of this arrogant mentality.

However, as the Divine Favor continues to use the Divine Technique, the divine power will transform the Divine Person's body, and even those who originally did not have cultivation qualifications will also increase their qualifications as the level of the imprint increases.

"I know, Father Andre mentioned it when he taught me swordsmanship."

Joshua was not slow on his feet, and at the same time remembered the down-and-out old priest, whom Father AndrΓ© had boasted about when he was younger, and now seemed to be true.

"Joshua, I shouldn't have taught you such sword skills, but you don't have the fighting spirit so you can't use its true power, so I'm going to make an exception for you, and you must not use this to bully the weak."

The old priest was obviously dying at that time, but he still gave Joshua what he had learned all his life, and Joshua naturally made an oath.

He would never use this sword skill to bully the weak, but against those traffickers, even if he killed them a thousand times, the old priest would clap his hands and applaud.

It's here.

Joshua stopped, and in front of him was an abandoned mine, the original "no entry" sign had disappeared at some point, and the dark atmosphere inside was problematic no matter how you looked at it.

[There is no trace of hasty escape outside the quiet nest, and it is obvious that the people inside are planning to resist stubbornly, how I don't know whether to live or die. 】

Only this time, Joshua didn't intend to complain about the fate text.

Disgust with human traffickers, fear of living people dying in front of their eyes, anxiety about the threat to those around them...... Joshua couldn't see any emotions on his face, but because he had condensed these negative emotions into the power of original sin, and with the contribution of the man before he died, he could once again use the Cangyan in his hand wantonly.

"It's too dark inside, I'll prepare a lighting ...... first"

"No, with the illumination, our position is directly exposed."

"If not, then wouldn't we be facing the enemy in an unfavorable situation?"

Lilith frowned slightly, although with her mental power, it was not difficult to be distracted to check the situation in the dark, but in the middle of the battle, this unnecessary distraction could be less or less.

Not to mention that Joshua may not have been accustomed to the darkness.

"I mean, it's dangerous to be the only one in the dark, so wouldn't it be nice to light up the entire mine?"

["Stupid man, haven't you scalded ants with hot water? ”】

Joshua's two voices came, and in the next moment Lilith understood what Joshua was going to do.

It was a much stronger flame than last night, only this time they were unrestrained by Joshua and headed for the depths of the dark cavern.

Attaching his spiritual power to the sin purifying flames, the dark blue flames poured into the gloomy mine like a flood, and soon the mine was lit up with a miserable howl.

"Rest assured, the children as hostages are in the depths of the mine, and they will not leave their amulets close to the outside."

Joshua could see that Lilith was worried and offered comfort.

Of course, this is not without basis, not to mention that his inference just now is very reasonable, but through the perception of the power of forgiveness, he also knows the specific location of those children.

["The hot water should be added slowly, and the screams of the ants will become more and more interesting, how can I bury my pleasure in vain?"] ”】

It's a really bad character.

Lilith summoned the Brilliant Sword and was prepared to keep the children as safe as possible, so that Joshua would not accidentally injure them.

Joshua didn't control the Purifying Flames from spreading throughout the mine in one fell swoop, but let them spread in Joshua's place.

Since the fuel for this flame was Joshua's original sin, there was no need to worry about suffocating the children by igniting the flammable gases or consuming oxygen in the mines, and it was able to destroy the mechanisms that had been prepared for a long time.

This awakening-designed cavern was soon Johnson's territory under the erosion of the Cleansing Flames.

"Stop, don't you want these children's lives?"

A frightened voice came from inside the mine, it was a group of hideous-looking people, they watched as they got closer and closer, and tried all the means at their disposal, but in the end they couldn't do anything.

Watching one of their companions die under the erosion of the flames, fear soon overshadowed their emotions.

Sacrifices to the Lord of the Blood River can be found again, but they only have one life.

"Then repent."

Joshua looked at the little girl in the hands of the leader, a handful of purple hair raised high and shivering in the wind, and her innocent eyes were full of fear.

Found you, Jessica.

"Didn't you hear? If you don't want these children to die, then hurry up and get out of the way. ”

It should be said that they are worthy of being people from the same organization, and before the Cleansing Flame burned to them, their mouths were probably harder than artifacts.

Joshua, however, had no intention of backing down.

"Father Joshua, don't let them have any plans to break the net, promise them for the time being, and then take advantage of their negligence to eliminate them in one go."

Lilith's voice appeared in Joshua's mind, a symbol of the other's powerful psychic power to communicate with his consciousness.

For the sake of the children's survival, Lilith plans to make a fool of herself first, and then make a plan.

["The speech of the stupid people is always so hilarious, now you agree to them a request, and soon the other party will have to gain an inch, once you fall into passivity, the strong will become the fish of the weak. ”】

"Good people have no reason to compromise with the wicked, justice has no reason to compromise with evil, and I have no reason to compromise with them."

Joshua's words were different, but they meant the same, and he would never compromise with them, especially when the threat was not a threat at all.

[People are always obsessed with what is in front of them, but they will forget the danger behind them. 】

Joshua savored the words as he looked at the traffickers in front of him, their eyes fixed on Joshua and Lilith, who would obviously tear up the ticket if they made any moves.

I see, they are so focused on us that they forget about the dangers elsewhere.

"Are you not afraid of ......?"

The words were stuck in their throats, and they couldn't go on, and the pain was intense, and the pale blue flames climbed up their bodies at some point.

Why?

Even though the pain swept through their nerves, they still didn't understand, all their eyes were fixed on Joshua, there was no way he could do such a thing.

"Your flames have spread from the ground?"

Lilith saw the clue that although Joshua's flame had the form of a flame, it was not a flame in nature.

It burns without flammable materials or air, and even the target of the burn is in Joshua's hands.

It was clear that the scope of the flames could not be controlled last night, but now it was able to set the traffickers on fire without harming the hostage children.

Is this just something that can be done overnight?

The person that the goddess values really has an extraordinary talent, and to do this kind of thing requires not only precise control, but also absolute calmness.

Clearly, Joshua had both.

Lilith couldn't think for a moment, but at the same time, her body moved, and she rescued all the children who were temporarily out of danger, while dodging Joshua's flames to avoid accidental injury.

As for the traffickers of the Iron Brotherhood, they can only roll on the ground and let out a wail.

Wrong.

Joshua, who was extremely calm, sensed the problem, though they were enough for the size of the traffickers.

But isn't the Predator Brotherhood an organization that believes in evil gods?

Being able to cast a silence spell on a small minion means that there must be a mage among them, but now it is nowhere to be seen.

[There was a slight strangeness in the flow of air in the mine, and Joshua sensed something coming from behind him. 】

It's too late.

Joshua gathered the sin purifying flames around him into a sword, and almost reflexively used the sword skills taught by Father Andrew.

"Bell~"

Twin swords collide.

Caught off guard, Joshua retreated several steps before stopping, and behind him, where there was nothing left, an illusory figure appeared from it.

"Discovered? I can avoid these flames and make you notice something strange, what a troublesome flame. ”

It was a hoarse voice that made it impossible to distinguish between men and women, and the iron sword in the other party's hand had a hilt carved with poisonous snakes, and a pair of snake eyes were particularly stunning under the reflection of the firelight.

"You're behind it?"

Joshua looked at the black-robed man in front of him, all the physical characteristics of the other party were hidden, so that he had no way to determine his physical characteristics.

"Who's behind it? I'd love to admit it, but I'm just a small role to clean up your best role. ”

The black-robed man swung his sword again, and his powerful physique undoubtedly told Joshua that he had an extremely high fighting spirit cultivation, combined with his previous magic ...... Is this kind of dual cultivation talent just a small role?

It's a real problem.
