Chapter 54: No, God Answered
Alicia fell silent and did not continue the conversation.
After a pause, she said.
"The gunfire seems to be over."
"yes."
Char stared at the ships in the distance.
"This town, from now on, no longer belongs to Britannia."
"It still belongs to Britannia!" "It's going to be taken back!" ”
Looking at the slightly fried Alicia, Char's eyelids retracted.
Although the gunfire stopped, the cries still lingered in my ears, the flames burning, and the scorching waves of fire against the sea breeze.
Amid the cries and shouts, some angry people were roaring.
"O God! O God! Punish these demons with divine punishment!
Send them all to hell! Let them be punished!! ”
"God, save us!"
"People are like this, in the most desperate and powerless times, they always hope that inhuman forces will appear and save them."
Char watched all this calmly.
"But one day they will understand that God will not answer them, and that humanity will measure the earth with its own feet."
Alicia was silent on one side, speechless, and for some reason, she felt that no one was more qualified to say this than Char.
Char looked up, all the houses in the town were conjoined, including this castle, and the flames around it looked like they were about to spread to the castle, and the smell of sulfur in the air mixed with the smell of burnt corpses was getting stronger and stronger.
Char silently walked to the side, picked up the bracelet that Mrs. Foster had dropped earlier, and asked.
"Are you angry? Alicia. ”
"I understood one thing a long time ago." Alicia's eyes were bright, reflecting the flames burning around her, "Anger will never really solve the problem." ”
"That's anger."
Char looked at the red rope in his hand and whispered softly.
"I don't have that emotion in my heart at the moment, but I understand it.
Death, though, is the end that everyone will usher in.
But the loss of life should not be so cheap. ”
Under Alicia's gaze, Char slowly raised her right hand.
"The town has been very welcoming."
"Boom!"
With the thunder, dark clouds shrouded the port, pulling clouds and mist all the way, and a torrential rain was coming.
"In that case, before leaving, let's give them one last gift in return."
The magic pounded the hem of his clothes and hair, and his eyes seemed to radiate divine light, like a god.
Alicia watched all this, her mind recalling what Char had just said.
He said God would not respond to these people.
No, God responded, she thought to herself.
It didn't take long for the whole town to be covered in dark clouds, like night falling.
With a clattering sound, raindrops fell on the ground like copper coins, and billowing smoke rose into the sky, blending into the dark clouds.
The rain doused the flames of the town, poured it on the people, washed away the fear and sorrow in their hearts.
People slowly raised their heads and watched in amazement at the sudden rainstorm, the rain sliding down their cheeks and mixing with tears.
But then, a raging wind came through the mountains, over the town, and rushed towards the fleet that was gradually docked in the harbor.
As the waves churned, the warship swayed wildly, and the waves set off by the storm crashed against the breakwater.
"Collect the sails! Collect the sails! ”
The crew of the warship roared and tried to put the sails away, but it was too late.
In an instant, the sails were torn apart by the storm, the mast broke, the cannons were blown to the bottom of the sea, and some small ships were even swallowed up by the waves.....
The members of the warship who were swept under the sea were constantly churning in the waves and struggling to survive.
The people above the ramp took in the scene with a slight distraction in their eyes.
They have lived by the sea since they were children, and they know the weather of the sea very well, and sudden rainstorms and strong winds like this are completely unreasonable.
For some reason, people remembered the "God War" that happened not long ago.
Char was fighting against the Wilderness Witch with all her magic at the time, so she didn't disguise herself.
Many people saw Char in the clouds.
Some of the people around him came back to their senses and soon discovered Char's presence.
After all, Char's temperament is too special, and the people around him are all gray-faced, and he is the only one who is clean.
Feel more and more eyes around you.
Char put her hands on Alicia's shoulders.
"Let's go inside."
As if sensing Char's exhaustion, Alicia stretched out her hand and put her arm around his waist, helped him into the castle, and asked Arthur to turn the doorknob for safety.
"Jingle Bell~"
With the sound of the four-color bells, the gate shifted to the grassland where Arthur had found Sonny, which was quiet and peaceful compared to the war-torn town of Eagle Point, with a faint scent of earth and grass in the breeze.
Arthur, who had just experienced a bombardment, was in a trance at the sudden change in the scene, and almost thought that everything he had just experienced was just a dream.
Alicia helped Char to sit down in front of Cassifer, who was also a little sluggish, and didn't even speak, and leaned on the fire with a blue flame.
There seems to be something in there?
Alicia stared at the blue, almost transparent flame, which if she read it right, seemed to be a ..... Heart?
"How could the Witch of the Wilderness appear with the West Empire?" She couldn't help but ask, "Is it a coincidence?" ”
"The Witch of the Wilderness is a very vain person, and if the emperor is willing to give her the status of court magician, and give her wealth and courtesy, it is still possible to hire her."
Xia lazily leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
"What about you?" Alicia said.
Char smiled, "I don't have any interest in this. ”
"Not surprisingly." Alicia murmured softly, after these few days of getting along, she already knew Char's character very well.
He is a man who enjoys freedom and does not do things for anyone.
"You killed the Witch of the Wilderness?" Alicia asked.
"No, she's still alive." Char said, "If you can't find the core, you can't kill her." ”
After a pause, he said, "Help me get the whiskey out of the cupboard." ”
Alicia hurriedly walked to the cabinet and found the whiskey and the glass, and Char poured a few sips in one gulp as if she were drinking water, without even using the glass.
Then he poured the wine over to Cassifer, who hissed as he burned, and seemed to feel better, and the flame grew stronger under the influence of the alcohol.
Char poured herself another glass of wine and leaned back in her chair to drink it slowly.
"So which of you won?" Alicia asked.
"Of course we're a little bit better!"
Cassifer came out of the firewood, hissing weakly, and after resting for a while, he still looked a little tired, but he was in okay condition.
"That fire demon is getting old, where is my power!"
"Don't brag at this point, Cassifer." Arthur said on the side, after so many days of getting along, he knew Cassifer's character very well.
"Okay." Cassifer's flame retracted into the wood again, "The Wilderness Witch has been with that fire demon for hundreds of years, and they have a lot of experience, but Char is very clever and has made her suffer some losses. ”
Arthur took out some cold food such as bread from the cabinet and shared it with everyone, so that everyone could regain some strength.
The bacon that fell to the ground before it was cooked at noon was not wasted, and became Sonny's food, and gradually Cassifer returned to his usual appearance.
Char got up from her seat, "Looks like we're going to have to move now, we're going to move the door to Eagle Point Harbor and move Cassif to another house." ”
"Have you chosen your spot?" Alicia asked.
"I haven't been idle these days."
Before and after the Dionysian Festival, Char had been busy with moving, so he was actually ready to move over.
"Do you want to move now?" Cassifer grumbled, "Can't you just let me take a break, we've just had a big fight." ”
"Take a little more rest, it's not just the Witch of the Wilderness who will come for us." Char said, "And the army of the Western Empire. ”
"What a bunch of rude guys." "Those flames are a real nuisance, and without the cannonballs, we might have killed the witch." ”
"There's no hurry."
Char gently shook the wine glass in his hand, looked at the small swirls formed by the wine in the glass, and muttered softly.
"Time, on our side."
