Volume 3 The Song of the Dragon and the Wind Chapter 67 Dark Entanglement (4)
Glori carefully crossed the central street, walking along the street that led straight to the north. Pod holds Aina and disappears into the "Shadow Magic".
Suddenly, Glori stopped. A silver barrier of flame descended from the sky, standing in the distance in front of him, separating Moonlight into two areas, north and south.
Who is the person who is working this magic?Glori looked around for answers, and looked at the towering buildings and clock towers on the left and right. But what about people? There is no human figure to be seen except in the dazzling sunlight.
So Glori turned around and looked back. A round shield was flying towards his head! He dragged the sword backwards with the tip of the blade in both hands, and then stepped to the right, and finally dodged it, but saw the shield sweep over his left shoulder and then whirl back into the hand of the shield's owner.
"Night Wandering Believer?Renaissance Legion?"
Amor Van asked aloud. In his left hand was a half-dead Night Wanderer believer. As he spoke, he threw the believer down in front of him, and then put his right foot on the back of the believer's head, ending the believer.
As for the person in front of him, Glori made a general look in a haze because of sleepiness. The man had brown hair and a tall body, so big that the shield in his hand was just enough to protect his strong arms.
"You're looking for the wrong person, it's ...... below"
Glori swallowed halfway through his sentence. He couldn't say he was a member of the Revival Legion - because of the tragedy here, the knights of the Revival Legion were involved, not only hunting down the cultists of the Shadows, but also wielding their swords at the inhabitants of the area. In addition, the person in front of him was clearly a person who was resisting.
While Glori was thinking, he saw Amo deliberately throw the shield in front of his eyes, causing it to stick to the ground at an angle.
Only then did Glori see what the shield looked like. This shield, which can block one's upper body, is superb in terms of texture and workmanship. On the surface of the shield is a lacquer painting of a man standing on the grassland looking at the full moon, and the edge of the shield, the red lacquer has been worn away after a long period of use, revealing a sharp blade of steel, all of which indicates that it was made by a craftsman who specialized in the service of the nobility.
"Have you looked at this shield carefully? Let's get started? I'm just moving my muscles. β
Mo didn't withdraw his shield and smiled. So, what about Glorry? He already held the red-dyed sword in both hands, and he had a straight face.
Finding out that Glori wanted to use his sword skills, Pod had to remind him. "Although you can't defeat him except for your sword skills, you shouldn't continue to use your sword skills, you know!"
"Thank you for the reminder, but I just wanted to say hello," Glori smiled and stood up straight, "Amo, it's an honor for me to meet you here." β
At this time, Amo stepped forward and hugged him.
"Heh, I knew that little brother Glori would recognize me?" Even after a few words, Amo sensed Glori's exhaustion, "I just chased a girl wearing a silver flower headdress here, and I found you. We haven't seen each other in years, but this is not a good place to chat and catch up, Miss Erin is still waiting for us to pass, do you remember her?"
"Weak, of course, but wise. Hopefully she's getting better. Glori thought for himself. From time to time, Erin would be lying in a hospital bed, being cared for by servants.
Thinking of this, Glori looked at Amo.
"Uncle Amo, time is running out, we should hurry up and go to her. There are even more powerful enemies in the vicinity. β
"But why are you here? Did you see everything just now, the people of the Revival Legion are hurting their compatriots! We have to stop them!"
"I'm passing through here. You're right, but I believe it's a conspiracy. We do need to save the people here, whether they are believers in the Church of the Dark Curtain or civilians. β
As soon as Glori finished speaking, he drew his sword and blocked to the right. This time, his hands were numb. He glanced at the trembling sword in his hands, then stood up straight. Unexpectedly, there was a chill in the back. He looked closely through the blue light on the blade and saw the woman behind him.
"Are you the returning traveler from the Ruined Lands?" Alison Hawke...... Miss Sender?" asked Glori.
"Hmph! You actually blocked the young master's spell. β
Allison looked at Glori angrily and pressed her dagger against Glori's back. Then, she shouted softly, "Young Master, do you see who I have caught?" The guards of Mochizuki City did not clean him up under my temptation, and now it is still in my hands. β
"Glori Carlos?"
When Glori heard his name being called, he looked around. When he withdrew his gaze, he saw a cloud of white mist appear in front of him.
Then, Silver walked out of the white mist. He took off the hood of his cloak and saluted politely. "The first time we met, it was the only son of the Hunter family in Mochizuki City-Silver. β
The person in front of him was very humble, and as a nobleman, he also saluted himself. So Glori had no choice but to return the favor with a smile. He felt that since he was going to fight, there was no need to delay time, so he cut it straight to the point.
"I think, you were the one who played the screen just now? You didn't suppress your murderous intent, and even I was aware of it in my current state. β
As he spoke, Glori took on the swordsman's sharp gaze. However, the sword on Vened's waist resonated with Silver's magic, causing a tremor sound. What's going on? He was interrupted just as he was thinking.
"Mr. Carlos, I suggest the idea of evacuation. This guy is a tough guy, I can't take care of Aina and you at the same time. Pod said to Glori using telephonic magic. She held Aina in her left hand, and her right hand struggled to hold the sword at her waist, still in the shadows.
Hearing Pod's words, Glori was about to dodge the dagger behind his back, when he found a piercing pain behind him. He knew that Alison had pushed the dagger into his back. He said calmly, "Miss Alison, it seems that you are here for real, but you should listen to me before you do it. β
Allison glanced at Silver who nodded, before releasing the dagger that had stabbed into Glori's back.
"So, little brother Glori, I hope you can say something useful to me. Silver said harshly.
"Are you working for the Night Wandering Church, which do you think is on the side of the Terrans, compared to the Terran Dark Churches?" asked Glory, a question with an obvious answer.
"Of course, it's the Dark Curtain Church on our Terran side, but we all know that Erin is just a puppet of the Order Clan, and a hostage of the Demon Dragon Empire's control of Mochizuki City's forces. I'm afraid that the Church of the Dark Curtain has already collapsed from within. Therefore, it is more reliable to rely on night tours. β
Silver replied, glancing to Glory's right. He felt something around here, right next to Glori. However, when he carefully tested the silver flame in his hand, he found that there was nothing but the aura of anger.
At this point, Silver still used magic out of caution. He clenched his right hand, and the white light around him flashed and vanished, placing himself and Alison under a transparent magical barrier.
The barrier opened, and Pod held Aina and stepped back. She knew that if she touched it, she would be discovered, and she knew that she couldn't act lightly, or she would kill Glori.
Feeling himself in an extended barrier, Glori inhaled helplessly. He tried to calm himself down. Then he smelled the same scent of lilies as before, and with the smell of honey.
However, there are no lilies planted in Moonlight Town. Why, the heat wave in Moonlight Town made the smell stronger?Could it be that the owner of the vine arrow was approaching?Wait, it was indeed because of the magic that made the smell obvious, and the owner of the arrow did it on purpose? After a pause, Glori was in no hurry to find a way to evacuate.
"So Mr. Hunt is determined to move forward with the plan?"
"You didn't give me a useful word as expected, and I don't care about the survival of others. And the world always follows one truth - the law of the jungle. So, Allison, go and finish him off?"
Silver said disappointedly. He couldn't help but smile...... It's ridiculous how a civilian could say something that I care about. Then, he turned his back to Glori and Allison.
"Fan family guards, you'd better not move. Your young lady is under the control of the young master. β
With that, Alison prepared to plunge the dagger completely into Glori's back.
Calm, Glori didn't make a sound. And Ah Mo couldn't bear to look at it, so he took a few steps back, which was important, he knew very well.
"Little brother Glori, I'm sorry. Mo looked guilty.
Seeing Amo jump into the fire on the east side, Glori closed his eyes. Unexpectedly, he didn't hear Amo's shout, but he heard Allison's lost voice.
"Ahh
Suddenly, a vine arrow with a tail made of snow phoenix feathers slashed across the back of Alison's right hand. Frightened, she let go of her dagger, held the bleeding wound with her left hand, and hurriedly looked in the direction where the arrow had come from.
"Young master, we have a new guest. β
At the same time, Glori also looked at where the arrow had come from.
"Glori Carlos!"
Following the sound, Glori saw the long-awaited figure, still aliveβSusan Shirley standing on the trunk of a burned tree in the open space to the east.
When the wind blows, the pale blue dress, even with a leather cuirass, can't prevent the silk embroidered Alice flower from becoming a rainbow of brilliance under the clear sky - Alice flower, which makes the owner of the tree vine arrow look outstanding. With surprise on her face, she waved the phoenix feather bow in her hand.
"Glori, remember this bow and arrow, right?"
The snow-white color of Susan's bow and arrows was like a flame of hope that scared away monsters in the dark night. And Susan's voice sounded like a breeze in the morning to Glori.
"Of course, I didn't expect you to use this bow all the time," Glory turned and pointed his sword at Silver, "If you guessed wrong, then you really can't see the sun that has risen." Susan, your habit of cooking lily soup saved my life. β
"Would love to save your life......"
Susan stretched. She forcibly concealed her fears of Glori's injury. Then, she added, "It's dawn and it's time for us to get out of here." The camp of the Revival Corps is east of the Moonlight River, and Sister Sana says she wants to see you. β
