169 Pagan Lair (Medium)
While escorting the infidels, Ankka discovers that there are some ordinary infidels who have been skinned and have some magical powers.
The ordinary pagans, who were very young and emaciated, would fall down as soon as they exerted their strength, and Ankka curiously called them to him and asked, "Are you also Christians like them?" ”
They timidly gathered together and nodded in response to Ankh.
Ankh crouched down to keep up with them and looked them in the eye and asked, "Why be a heretic?" Do you know what this will bring you? ”
One of the older children plucked up the courage to stand up to Ankh and said in a childish tone, "If you join, they can get bread to eat, and it's not hard." ”
"Where are you from?"
The children shook their heads and seemed to be unaware of their home country, and looked like they had been abducted from a young age like Anka.
Ankha looked at their drug-corroded faces and bodies and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Our previous master liked to pour something that smelled very pungent on us, and then he would take a pen and write something down on a piece of paper, after which he would treat us right away, but some of them didn't heal, and that's it."
Ankh looked at the terrified pagans behind him and turned to the children and asked softly, "What do these people usually ask you to do?" ”
"Let's go with them to a lot of cities, distribute leaflets and give speeches, and they give food and medicine to people in need, and even though I can see that the medicine doesn't work, they still thank us."
Ankh looked at the trembling heretics behind him again, and suddenly felt that they were just poor people who had been bewitched by the devil with food.
Ankka then unshackled them and told them that if they didn't run away, he wouldn't hurt them, and for some reason, no one escaped, and they all followed Ankka to the nearest city.
Ankh was greeted by Ellanch upon arriving in the city ruled by Wyverns.
Ellanch looked at the infidel curiously and asked, "Do you need to keep them in a cell?" ”
"Just try to keep them safe."
Later, Ellanch and the Wyvern put the heretics in cages suspended from the water, while the children were locked in iron cages on the ground.
Ankh came to the cage on the ground at night, hoping that the children would tell them everything they knew.
In the end, Ankh traded some food and the assurance that they would be allowed to live here for what they knew.
"The people who took care of us said that when we officially joined the Church, they would take us to a palace for a transformation ceremony."
"It's just that the palace is a little difficult! There are more buildings on the continent of Avaranga that could be called palaces than can be counted. ”
"I remember they said they missed the warm sunlight shining through the stained glass in the palace, because only then could they shed all pretense and welcome the warmth of God."
"Stained glass? Is it Santa Seca? ”
The children stopped talking and looked at Ankka in a daze, Ankka was a little puzzled by this, but after seeing the empty bowl in their hands, he got up and said, "Come with me!" ”
After settling them in the reception house and getting them more food, Ankh watched them gobble up and continued to ask, "Is there anything else you know?" ”
They seemed to be worried that the food would disappear, so they tried to remember, and after they hummed for a long time, finally one of the children said, "I remember that they said that there were six great gods, and one of them came to us, but they often wore robes and masks, and no one had ever seen what they looked like, but their bodies were much stronger than ordinary people, like giants." ”
Ankha nodded, arranged the children on the third floor of the reception center, and said, "Don't run around here, I'll take you away tomorrow." ”
After returning to Ellanci's accommodation, Anka immediately made arrangements for the next day.
Ankha said to the messenger, "Please go and inform the others of the stained glass palace ...... at once"
Before Anka could explain when he suddenly stopped.
"Strange, why do you feel like you can't remember it all of a sudden?"
The messenger stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you alright?" ”
Ankka shook his head and said, "There's nothing else, you can leave first!" ”
The next day, the Ouroboros members arrived at the reception and waited for Anka.
When Ankka met them, he noticed that something seemed wrong with their expressions.
"Your Majesty," said them, "last night we were attacking a pagan camp when a young man suddenly appeared, and he drew a flaming blade out of thin air, and we tried desperately to escape, and when we checked it again, we found that all the infidels in it were gone. ”
Ankha became alert and asked, "What about the other camps?" ”
"The team responsible for attacking the other camps has suffered some damage, except for the team of the Holy Maiden, who has retreated entirely."
"How did the Holy Maiden do it?"
"The Holy Maiden seems to be leading a team of hundreds of heavily armored paladins and hundreds of members of the Holy Maiden's Wrath, and they also carry a dozen cannons."
After hearing this, Ankh wiped away the cold sweat on his head and thought to himself: "The Holy Maiden is as cautious as ever! However, from his words, it seems that Kajudir's teleportation is carried out between several camps, and it should be a teleportation circle or beacon or something, and next time you must remember the black spire with a high suppressive force."
The Ouroboros member whispered, "Your Majesty, the Holy Maiden hopes that you can come to the Golden City of Sacred Words in three days to exchange your experience of this operation. ”
"I know, I'm going to prepare."
After sending the Ouroboros away, Ankha took the children out and asked, "What kind of work can you do?" ”
"As long as we have something to eat, we can do anything."
Ankka nodded and led them to the backyard to clean the dragons, and Ankka looked at the skinny kids and thought it should be easy for them.
Ankh then went to the air cage to interrogate the infidels, but unfortunately, all of them went on hunger strike and kept praying to the heavens, completely ignoring Anka.
Ankh was a little angry and said to them, "It's foolish to give everything you have to an unknown so-called god! ”
The infidels paused and continued to pray.
Ankh was depressed and returned to Ellanch's palace to talk to her.
Ankh said sullenly, "I don't know what's going on in the minds of these infidels. ”
Alanshi leaned on Anka's lap and said, "Pagans are also believers!" Their minds must all be the same, leave the wood alone, we should concentrate on interrogating the infidels who have not fallen too deep, like those children. ”
Ankh nodded in agreement.
