Chapter Seventy-Eight: Augustine
Huodu Village, an empty grassland.
The cavalry sat in a circle, the magic apprentices Berkeley and Rohm continued to perform healing techniques, treating the surrounding cavalry at any time for the mutations, in the center of the crowd, sat a festering middle-aged man with deformities and depravity on his body, he was tirelessly performing the healing technique of light, his body has been activated by the characteristics of light, and his body has begun to appear irreversible damage......
"Ahem, ahem...... Master Magician, let Lord Adelaide stop, don't save us, it's useless, we can't hold on. A cavalryman with a blue face and a swollen body, constantly coughing up blood, his face was pale, and he spoke.
"yes, stop wasting your magic, we can't save it." The other soldier, who was also in poor condition, wiped the blood running from the corner of his mouth and agreed.
"Yes, yes, Master Magician, let's go, protect yourselves, get out of here!"
"Just remember to avenge us, and don't let those guys get their way."
"We can't save ......"
The words of the two were supported by the vast majority of the remaining soldiers.
The current situation, they have long seen that Adelaide's state is already wrong, and it can't last long, rather than letting this powerful adult die with them, it is better to let him go first.
Rohm touched the wound on his chest and smiled bitterly: "Hehe, do you think I don't know? ”
"My life was saved by Lord Adelaide, he would rather die than give up on you, I naturally have to accompany him, besides, ......"
Rom glanced at the sealing barrier not far away and shook his head: "Although the magic seal on our body has been lifted, the ritual magic that restricts us and sacrifices us is still there, as long as you keep dying, there will be a steady stream of power, absorbed by this shadow curtain, and we can't escape." ”
"With our current strength, we can't break this barrier."
"Even if it's death, you have to try to get to the end, Roma, don't say it, you can't give up hope." Berkeley took out another bottle of potion and swallowed it, saying in a deep voice.
"Rom, you have to believe in Lord Marquis, believe in Lord Hodge, since Lord Hodge has asked us to cooperate with the cavalry and Lord Adelaide, there must be a way, hold on, hold on a little longer."
Hearing this, Rom's face turned pale, although he didn't think that the young marquis heir would have anything to do, but now, he had nothing to fear, he immediately nodded, and said, "Well, since Lord Hodge has counted the enemy who is coming, he must have a backhand." ”
"Poof!!"
Suddenly, Adelaide spat blood from his mouth, and his whole body collapsed, and the staff of the Darkless One in his hand fell to the ground, as did the Blood Moon Cross.
In just a few breaths, Adelaide's state deteriorated rapidly, and the abnormalities on his body became rampant, with blue-black patches and activated light spots, constantly distorting and spreading, and it seemed to completely explode at any time, completely engulfing Adelaide......
"Lord Adelaide." Rom's face changed, and he hurriedly rushed to Adelaide's side, trying to hold on to the life-saver.
"Don't come near me!!" Adelaide shouted.
Hearing this, Röm quickly stopped and looked nervously and worriedly at Adelaide not far away.
A faint light floated from Adelaide's body, his expression was calm, he looked at Rom, and said softly: "Rom, I'm going to die soon, listen, after I die, you and Berkeley will immediately cast fire magic and destroy my body, otherwise I will definitely be mutated, and you won't be able to leave." ”
"Lord Adelaide, you won't die, I will heal, I will save you." Rom's face changed, and he planned to wave his magic wand and perform healing spells to heal Adelaide.
"Don't waste your efforts, my injuries can't be treated by healing techniques, at least Sage-level light magic, or healing magic can be cured, you listen to me, I'm running out of time...... cough cough cough ......"
Adelaide raised his hand slightly, stopped Rom's movements, and continued softly: "After I die, you have to wrap the Darkless Cane in a pitch-black cloth to prevent it from touching the light, the sealing method of the blood-colored cross is to cycle the magic of light and darkness within an hour, keep the light and darkness in it peaceful, prevent riots, and if you can't cast it, you can also replace it with the corresponding magic stone, I have it." ”
"Yes...... It's Lord Adelaide, I see. With tears in his eyes, Rohm nodded quickly.
"When I die, you destroy my body, and the extraordinary characteristics will naturally be sucked out, if you don't die, my extraordinary characteristics will be my last gift to you, but I hope you can promise me one thing." Adelaide looked at Rôm and Berkeley and said seriously.
"Say, Lord Adelaide." Berkeley Road.
"Lord Adelaide, just say it." Roma Road.
"Help me deliver the staff of the Darkless One and the Blood Moon Cross to the Cathedral of Senricars and give them to the Archbishop, this is one thing that I, an ungodly believer, can finally do for the Church......"
Adelaide's voice became lower and lower, his eyes gradually closed, and his whole life was about to come to an end......
At this moment, a gentle and loving voice sounded out of thin air.
"God says, "The pious should not suffer......
In an instant, a holy, noble, and great light shone from Adelaide's body, the wounds on his body gradually healed, and the distorted mutations gradually faded, and even the irreversible nature of light gradually converged on the abnormality and no longer continued to destroy his body.
Adelaide's eyes, which were about to close, opened suddenly, and he felt the divine light on his body, felt the blessing of the divine word from the high sequence, felt the healing of his own injuries, and the recovery of his state......
"Bishop......
For a moment, Adelaide seemed to understand something, and muttered a word in his mouth.
The next moment, a figure dressed in a cardinal's robe appeared in front of Adelaide out of thin air.
The person who came, with blonde hair and blue eyes, a round face, a straight nose, no wrinkles on his face, a gentle temperament, a golden cross on his chest, and a red bishop's robe, gave people a natural and peaceful feeling.
"Augustinian Bishop ......"
Adelaide quickly stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Adelaide, you are a devout believer of light, willing to sacrifice yourself to protect ordinary people, and I am glad to see you grow." Augustine held the cross on his chest and praised.
"Lord Bishop, I'm ashamed that I'm too weak to let Tyler Mitchell the Blasphemer run away......," Adelaide said, bowing his head.
"God Will Punish His ......"
With a wave of his hand, Augustine rained down the golden holy water, healing the strangeness and injuries of the cavalrymen, Rohm, and Berkeley.
"Praise you!!"
Adelaide said respectfully.
The cavalry, Rôme, and Berkeley hurriedly stood up, saluted one after another, and said in unison: "Thank you for your ...... treatment."
