Knight's Gift: Broken Chapter
"What's wrong?"
Rose's inquiry interrupted James's thoughts, and he laughed dryly twice and said, "It's nothing, by the way, what's your student's name?" If he plans to leave North Wind City, he should also go to the station, Lingwan's student can't even have this bit of common sense, judging from the time, he can only enter this area before curfew, and he can't plan to leave the ice field on foot, right?"
James's guess was also what Rose was thinking, and the bloody scene made her even more uneasy, "Can you tell me what happened here?" Also, did you see one just now...... Very beautiful nun?"
"Very beautiful nun...... Sorry, I was paying attention to you just now, and I didn't see any nun, but don't worry, if that nun was really sent by Hesie, then we don't have to worry about it, as for what happened...... I shouldn't have told you, but it doesn't matter when it comes to this. β
James straightened his face when he said this, and his tone became serious, "Have you ever heard of an organization called Divine Presence?"
β...... No. Rose shook her head.
"An extremely dangerous organization, they are the largest supplier of slave markets, many countries that have not abolished slavery, almost all have financial dealings with the Divine Implement, they have set up strongholds in various countries, relying on the protection of the regime, wantonly arresting people, training them into slaves, and then selling them to the rich and noble, gladiatorial arenas, and even some small countries with poor populations, in order to make huge profits, as far as I know, their minions have penetrated into the upper echelons of the countries, so this parasite-like organization can be so unscrupulous, but it has not been crusaded, but unfortunately the sky will always dawn, today is just the beginningγ James said with a sneer.
"Slave ...... Do you mean those madmen just now?" Rose couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart when she heard the beastly bloodthirsty madmen reappear in her mind.
"If I'm not mistaken, they should have been caught and tortured by the gods and turned into madmen, speaking of which they are also victims, and they were forced to become like that, the culprit is the gods, it stands to reason that they hurt the people of the North Ye Kingdom, I can kill them all, but do you think that's the right thing to do?"
James wasn't asking rhetorically, but really asking Rose's opinion, he knew what it was like to lose a loved one, but he couldn't imagine what these slaves had gone through to become like this, to kill or not to kill, he was actually very conflicted in his heart.
β...... I do not know. β
Rose can't answer this question, since she was born, she rarely even does anything with others, most of the time she is the one who takes the initiative to admit her mistakes and apologize, these slaves are tortured, and in the end they have to be sold at will, and the end is miserable, before that, they were also fathers, mothers, or teenagers with dreams, but now they have become a soulless shell, and maybe they will never return to normal in this life.
Behind the madness and bloodlust is an inextricable sorrow.
But then again, what's wrong with those who have lost loved ones?
And what is wrong with those who died?
Yes, they are wrong, it is wrong not to learn the spiritual way, it is wrong to live in this place, it is wrong to get married, it is wrong to have children, even breathing is wrong, in the eyes of the powerful, these civilians who are not even as good as pigs and dogs, birth is the biggest mistake, it is they who smeared the North Ye Country and defiled the North Wind City, but it is just right to die.
"Forget it, leave this kind of thing to Your Majesty to consider, there is only so much I can do, and I don't know who leaked tonight's plan and was detected by the Divine Arrival, and actually released slaves to create chaos, this is not inhumane, it's just a demon, it's really damned." β
James's face was pale, tonight's plan should have been foolproof, to capture the Marquis of Russell, and by the way, to exterminate the stronghold of the gods, who knew that this kind of change would happen, if he hadn't noticed something wrong and came in time, I'm afraid this place would really be hell.
"Could it be that he ...... in the autumn Where the hell is the stronghold of the Divine Presence Organization, take me there!"
Hearing this, Rose suddenly realized that Qiu Nian was most likely captured by the Divine Presence Organization, otherwise he would have no reason to appear in this place, could it be that Qiu Nian would also become like them......
"Three entrances, Blue Snow Tavern is closest to us, follow me. β
As soon as James saw Rose's face, he knew what she was thinking, if a student who had not experienced the storm fell into the hands of the Divine Arrival, he was afraid that he would not even be able to resist the stage of taming and torture, the Divine Presence had already sensed their movements, and even these long-tamed slaves had been abandoned, what would they do with a slave who had not yet been tamed? Since it was impossible to let it go, I am afraid that they would have to be killed.
......
If the concept of death is realized, then the scene in front of you is probably the best interpretation of death, dozens of slaves lying on the ground, the sound of chewing flesh and bones is particularly crisp at night.
The street in front of the main entrance of the Blue Snow Tavern was almost covered with corpses, and the viscous plasma on the ground was like a red carpet, bright and dazzling, James reached out to stop Rose, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that it is a step too late, don't go over yet, the other teams will come over soon, wait a while." β
Having said that, James had doubts in his heart, the order he received was to lead a team to guard the border, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the civilian area tonight, and there were three hundred-person squads and four hundred iron guards who received the same order, which was enough to guard the airtight, so it stands to reason that the Blue Snow Tavern, Winter Snow, and the pharmacy should all send Iron Guards to control them in advance, but why is there no one?
The strangest thing is the leader, he doesn't know where he went, in the past, the person with the leaf shield gave orders to the leader, and then the leader assigned each team a task, but this time it was different, not only was the gray eagle gone, but even each team of the Iron Guard was ordered individually, it was said that it was to prevent anyone from leaking secrets, so he actually didn't know what orders the other teams had received.
"No, thank you for bringing me here. β
James can wait, but Rose can't wait, she has almost acquiesced in her heart that Mo Qiunian has fallen into the hands of God, maybe still alive, maybe ...... Dead, no matter what, she has to confirm it with her own eyes.
β...... Give me two minutes. β
The safest thing was to wait for the other teams guarding the border to help, but he also saw that Rose couldn't wait, and in desperation, James tightened the hilt of his sword in his hand, and rushed towards the group of slaves without waiting for Rose to speak.
Burning Bone Lingwu against forty or fifty ordinary people who went crazy, the result is naturally conceivable, there is no need for Rose to help at all, James knocked down this group of slaves with one sword and one sword, but he has already left his strength to make a move, and try to ensure that he can not kill the principle of not killing, and he also hung a little color for this.
"Whew...... It tastes disgusting. β
As the last slave collapsed to the ground, James put away his sword, his face was not very good-looking, not because of a small injury, but because of the scene in front of him, he really couldn't imagine how Rose would survive if his student really fell into the hands of God?
"Are you alright?"
After a short time together, Rose's opinion of James has changed dramatically, no matter how frivolous and self-righteous his words are, he is definitely not a bad person, and seeing him injured, I can't help but feel a little worried.
"What is this injury, the real pity is them, alas, the longer I live, the more I find that I can't understand the world...... Don't talk about this, I'll go down with you, you follow behind, if there's any danger, you can run by yourself, don't worry about me. James reached out to wipe the blood from his face, some scratches, and he didn't even feel the pain if it wasn't for Rose's reminder.
"Do you think I'm useless?" Rose pursed her lips, her expression becoming more and more gloomy.
"I didn't mean that, you major in the spiritual law system, hand-to-hand combat is what our Lingwu does, and you have also seen it, no matter how crazy they are, it is impossible for them to be injured...... Kill me, if something happens, I, as an Iron Guard, as a man, have to stand in front of you in all sense and reason, this is my principle, and you don't want to be splashed with blood and be seen by the students to see your embarrassment, right? This smell is too bad, I can't stand it if you don't believe it, cough cough ......."
James walked over to Rose, his armor splattered with blood during the fight, and because he didn't have a mask, his blonde hair was dyed half-red, and there was some gooey substance on it, as if he had just crawled out of the pile of corpses.
"I ...... I see, don't come here. β
Rose immediately shook her head and took a few steps back, she is a girl who rarely leaves Lingwan, don't say anything about plasma internal organs on weekdays, even ordinary insects she will be careful to avoid when she sees them, and James exudes a foul smell all over his body, and his body is covered with blood and pulp, like a ghost, and everyone will instinctively retreat.
"Understood, my lady. β
James smiled slightly, he took three steps back and inserted the blade into the ground, his left hand tapped his forehead, his right hand was close to his heart, his left knee was bent down, and he performed a half-kneeling posture etiquette, Rose had learned aristocratic etiquette, but she had never seen James perform the salute, so she had some doubts in her heart, but James didn't explain much, he pulled out his sword, turned around and walked towards the Blue Snow Tavern.
This is the etiquette of the warrior alone, the blade is facing down, representing no harm, the left hand taps the forehead on behalf of the right hand, the right hand is close to the heart, representing the dedication of strength and wisdom, and the half-kneeling is to show respect, this etiquette, the warrior will only use it on two people in his life, one is his monarch, and the other is the one he loves or wants to pursue.
