Chapter 240: Cooperation
The druid frowned, "No more useless temptations, I know very well the relationship between you witchers and the church. ”
Li Ang said: "We just met, isn't it a bit fast to talk about this kind of topic?"
"The reason why I am telling you this is because I found out that the church guards the portal, there are two very powerful angels, and I need a helper. ”
The druid's eyes were blazing, and he stared at the expressionless Leon.
Leon shook the wine glass in his hand and changed the topic: "Isn't Seris in the east of the Seljuks, why do you say that he is in another world." ”
"You really don't know?"
"Really. ”
The druids were incredulous, "So you really didn't come for that portal to Seris?"
Leon shook his head and said, "I did come for the portal of the church, but I didn't know that the door was connected to the so-called Silk Country, Seris. ”
The druid breathed a sigh of relief, and he explained: "Seris is not in the east at all, I have personally traveled through the vast Gobi and the desert, and behind there, there is no country of silk at all, only a world barrier that connects the heavens and the earth, and is full of chaotic turbulence of time and space. ”
Leon said noncommittally: "It's the first time I've heard such a novel statement. ”
"I'm an expert in this regard, haven't you noticed that in recent years the Romans have hardly stopped exporting silk, just because the portal is no longer in their hands. ”
"It's true, but isn't it because the Seljuks cut off the Silk Road?"
"Of course not, the Sultan of the Seljuks did not wear silk. ”
Leon said thoughtfully, "But since the portal is in the hands of the church, as you said, why don't they continue the silk trade?"
The druid replied dryly, "I'm sorry, I don't know that, no one can understand what those religious lunatics think." ”
Leon ignored him, but continued to think.
He had long had doubts about the existence of the Eastern World, since there were gods in the Western World, what about the immortals and gods in the Eastern World, and had they also been defeated by the demons?
If not, why hasn't it been shown?
He didn't believe that the barrier of space had any restrictions on the gods of the higher sequences.
It's just that I haven't thought about it deeply, and when I heard this druid's statement, I perfectly explained many doubts.
So, where does this portal in Jerusalem lead to? Is it the Purgatory Corridor, or what the druids called Seris, the land of silk?
Is Mr. Dante right, or is this plain druid?
With doubts, Li Ang nodded and said, "I promise to cooperate with you, should we introduce ourselves first, such as what is your name?"
No matter where the door leads, he has to go in, and it's easier to have one more helper than to be alone.
"I'm the Grand Druid of the Oak Sect, Berkreal, a mid-sequence third-order, skilled in ritual magic and some war paint mysticism. ”
Li Ang said without hesitation: "I am a witcher of the Night School, Leon, a second-order in the middle sequence, good at swordsmanship and ice magic. ”
"The ...... of the School of the Night"
Berkere repeated, a hint of surprise on his face, it was clear that he had not heard of the name.
But it's also normal, there are witchers and wizarding schools all over Europe, not to mention his lonely druids who prefer seclusion, even those "celebrities" in the extraordinary world, it is impossible to cherish this.
"What realm are those two angels?"
"The sovereign angel of the middle and third level corresponds to the third order of the middle sequence, but at the combat level, it is far beyond this realm, and it is impossible for the two of us to solve them, but fortunately, our purpose is not to solve them. ”
Leon asked, "Do you have any plans?"
"We need to wait for a day, tomorrow will be the night of the full moon, and I have a ritual magic that needs to wait until the night of the full moon to be at its most powerful. ”
"What is the effect of this ritual magic?"
"The effect is simple, it is imprison, it can make those two angels unable to interfere with our actions for a short time. ”
"What do you need me to do?"
"It's simple, lure them out of the Holy Sepulchre where they're hiding, the distractions are too strong. ”
Li Ang frowned: "You asked me to have a mid-sequence second-order to lure two angels whose combat power far exceeds that of the ordinary mid-sequence third-order?"
"Don't look at me like that, you're not that simple at all, I can feel a strong sense of threat in you, you're very strong, and it's not just a second-order middle sequence. ”
Leon refused: "Even if I have some small means, this division of labor is still too dangerous for me. ”
"What do you want?"
"The two of us have a common goal, but we don't have much to do with each other, and who knows if you'll sneak away alone while I'm getting their attention?"
"Humanity will never be able to trust each other, and I will give you the necessary assistance. ”
"It's a deal. ”
"I'll go and gather some ritual materials, and we'll rest in this inn tonight, and we'll go to Jerusalem early tomorrow morning. ”
"Good. ”
The two chatted briefly again and parted ways.
Li Ang opened a room on the second floor of the inn and lay down, the sequelae of his excessive mental power consumption had not yet healed, and he needed to hurry up to heal himself.
It is foreseeable that a fierce battle awaits him tomorrow night.
...
After a long time, a faint wail was heard in Leon's ears, and he suddenly opened his eyes to see the faces of people in pain looming on the walls of the inn.
In the faces of men, women, young and old, hideous, painful, hateful, fear--all kinds of emotions are different, and the evil spirits that inhabit here are already quite powerful.
I hurt so much.
Help me.
We have already laid down our arms, why kill us?
You damned invaders, get out of our land!
Leon frowned and said, "Suffering souls, I am not a German, nor a Christian, and it is the first time I have set foot on this land, why did you find me if you want to take revenge?"
The voice was still noisy, and no one paid attention to Li Ang, as if all this in front of him was nothing more than his own auditory hallucination.
But at this moment, Leon saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The crusaders, dressed in white smocks and inscribed with a cross, wielded butcher knives and drove the soldiers, men and women who had given up resistance into the open field and killed them one by one.
They stripped the dead of their jewelry and stabbed pregnant women in the stomach with straight swords.
Everyone's expressions were extremely hideous, as if they were devils from hell.
Skati is right when he says that humans are very good at persecuting their own kind.
Li Ang looked at this scene coldly, and there was no ripple in his heart.
Some things, the first time you see them, you may be filled with righteous indignation, or even hide your face and cry, but when you see more, you will gradually become numb.
He said: "This world is full of the blood of the wronged, and you want revenge, which is understandable, but you have found the wrong person. ”
He opened his hand, and the black flames quickly dispersed into small black snakes as if they had souls, entangled the illusory faces.
In the blink of an eye, silence returned to the noisy room.
Leon lay down again and went back to sleep.
