Chapter 32: Humans as Stupid as Demons
The snow is falling, and the sprinkling is non-stop.
The sky was dark, dead silent. An inconspicuous white fish belly floats in the sky, silently announcing the arrival of a new day.
At dawn, the darkest moment is also the beginning of hope.
Central City, High Street.
The noisy night finally passed, and everything was quiet and silent again.
A young girl bent over and crept forward in the snow. Sleepless all night, her pale face made her already thin look even weaker.
Heavy snow continued, and the snow on the ground was ankle-high. The girl's hurried footsteps creaked against the thick snow. After a while, a series of beautiful footprints fell behind her, as if telling her hard work and persistence.
Walking side by side with the girl was an old man with gray hair.
The long time bleached his hair and left the mark of years on his face.
"Amilia, stop. ”
He leaned down, hid behind a broken wall, and pulled Emilia to a halt.
Through the faint morning light on the horizon, Kane quietly observed the movement ahead.
At this time, the commercial street has long been unrecognizable and in disarray. As far as the eye can see, there are broken bricks and tiles. Collapsed houses, crumbling walls, and potholed streets are shocking.
What a terrible battle took place here last night, only those who witnessed it are qualified to comment.
"Is it still a step too late? damn it......" Kane clenched his fists and slammed into the ground unwillingly.
The snow blocked the road, and Kane took Emilia from Hoag House to the shopping street one foot deep and one foot shallow, trying to get ahead of Sheila and save the troublesome little girl.
It's a pity that they are still a step late.
"Girl, where the hell are you?"
On the other side of the broken wall, several knights stood in pairs, chatting with each other about innocuous topics. Farther away, more knights and spirits walked aimlessly, as if waiting for someone's orders.
There is no tension at all, and there is no trace of vigilance, even if the commercial street is full of devastation, these people still look unhurried.
Because, the battle is over, the enemy has been destroyed, and there is nothing for them to worry about.
Now, having judged the evil in the place of the gods, they only need to wait patiently for the glory to come.
The enemy has been destroyed...... Kane knew exactly what this meant, but he didn't want to accept it!
"Where the hell is it?"
The thin morning light shone on the snowy earth, coating the scene in front of people's eyes with a hazy film.
Kane's eyes widened, looking for possible anomalies among the many self-righteous guys in white robes.
The little fox that worried him.
"She's not here......" Emilia sighed and whispered.
Although she couldn't be sure, but there was no basis for her, she could feel that the little girl who was a drunkard was not here.
"No, it can't be, she, how could she die? She hasn't become a ninth-level summoner yet, and I still have many, many things to give her, how can she die?"
"Kane ......"
"No way, Amilia, you tell me she must be alive, isn't she? She just hid and hid in a corner I couldn't see, right?
"Kane, she'...... She's not here. Emilia was expressionless, repeating her words.
"Amilia, let her out, okay?"
"Kane, she's really not here. ”
The ruthless language reveals an indisputable fact. In order to comfort the excited Kane, and to stop her uneasy heart from trembling, she could only repeat her words over and over again.
"No! I'm going to find out! Even if she's dead, I'm going to see her body!" Kane's eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Eh, what do you want to do?"
"Amilia, stay here for me, I'll settle accounts with Sheila!"
"Hey, you're ......"
Without waiting for Emilia to react, Kane jerked to his feet, stepped over the crumbling wall, and walked towards the crowd not far away.
Now is not the time for Emilia to show up, and now, she can only hide by herself and watch Kane ask for an explanation from the "murderers".
As the headmaster of Hogg House, Kane attracted a lot of attention as soon as he first appeared. Seeing Kane, those who had nothing to do immediately stopped their small talk and reported the news to the god-like Pope they admired.
"Kane, it's you, what are you doing here?"
Hearing the report of his subordinates, a little girl with a big hood greeted her.
"Sheila ......"
"Well, it's me. Sheila took off her hood, showed her face, smiled and said to Kane, "Kane, did you sleep soundly last night?"
"Sleep, I didn't sleep at all!"
"Eh, who messed with you, why are you so angry? If you haven't slept, let's go back to sleep for a while, it's not dawn yet, and it's still too late. Shira smiled and chatted with Kane as she waved her hand and motioned for others to leave.
"I can't sleep!"
"I said Kane, don't be so angry. Even if I'm just a child, you can't bully me like that. Anyway, I'm still the Pope of the Holy Ming Sect, and you're just an insignificant headmaster. ”
Sheila still had a faint smile, but her tone was chilling.
Whoever dares to say such a thing to the ninth-level Grand Magister Kane, looking at the entire God-given land, there is only one Shera.
“...... You don't need to scare me, you have to give me an account today!" Kane snorted, unconcerned about Shera's threat.
"Why should I give you an explanation?" said Shera pinched a strand of hair with her slender fingers, absentmindedly fiddling with her long silver-white hair.
"I ......," Kane choked.
That's when he realized that he didn't have any reason to be angry at Xuela. He can't generously admit that the demon fox is Angelina, and he's here to ask for an explanation for Angelina, right?
If he really said that, without Shera doing it herself, the other followers of the God of Light would have his body torn to pieces.
Humanity that betrayed the God of Light will be punished by all.
"Huh. Sheila covered her mouth and burst out laughing.
She has the ability to read minds, how can Kane's little caution escape her eyes?
"Y-What are you laughing at?"
Hearing Xuela's laughter, Kane was inexplicably a little flustered, as if everything in his heart had been spied on by Xuera.
"Nothing, I just thought it was funny. Sheila couldn't help laughing and said slowly, "I'm still young, and I really don't understand the relationship between you adults." ”
"What?"
"It's not just her, it's you. So, sure enough, humans are a bunch of stupid idiots, and when their cherished companions are in danger, all sanity and everything else is gone. In this way, you are actually no different from the barbarian demons. ”
"We, you, ......" Listening silently to Sheila's speech, Kane was speechless.
To mankind, to mortals, to the thousands of believers who believe in the God of Light and bow down at her feet, this little girl does not seem to have any affection, only pity and sorrow.
"Oh, mercy, no, they're happy. The one who deserves to be pitied, it should be me, right? Me, and him. Seeing through Kane's thoughts, Sheila replied with a wry smile, "However, this is all our own doing. Who can be expected to atone for one's sins after doing such a thing? It is natural for a person to suffer from it. ”
"Sheila, I don't understand what you're talking about......"
Unwilling to admit that his mind was penetrated by Sheila, Kane can only choose to play dumb.
"Ha, it's nothing, you don't have to care. Shira pouted and wagged her finger mischievously, "Oh yes, don't you want an explanation? ”
“......”
"Just, I hope you don't get too sad. With that, Shera turned around and beckoned behind her, "Let him tell you." ”
"He?" In Kane's surprised gaze, a handsome-looking middle-aged man walked over, "Cardinal, Bruno......"
"Your Excellency, are you looking for me?"
"Well, tell him about the situation. Shera closed one eye and pointed to Kane beside her.
"He, the headmaster of Hogg House, Kane...... Why should I report to him? Your Excellency, I don't understand what you mean. ”
"I command you, tell him!"
Sheila accentuated her tone, and Bruno was gasped by an irrefutable oppression.
"......" Bruno was stunned, then nodded respectfully, "Well, since it is the order of the Pope...... Kane, listen to me!"
"I'm listening. ”
Grunt......
Kane subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, held his breath, and listened.
"Last night, under the leadership of the Pope, we managed to defeat the demons lurking in Central City!" Bruno said in a loud voice, his tone full of confidence and pride.
"W-what?
Obviously, there was no wind blowing, but at this moment, Kane's body shook violently, his eyes were blank, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Don't you hear clearly, poor old man, not seeing that battle with your own eyes is the greatest regret of your life. Bruno looked at Kane with disdain, thinking that he was stupefied by the news, "I repeat, that cunning demon fox lurking in Central City has been killed by our great Pope himself! No evil can escape justice! With Lord Shera, humanity will surely defeat the barbaric demons!"
"She's dead?"
Angelina, dead?
