Demon Sage

v3 Chapter 91: The stars are dim

A small village somewhere in the Lane Empire.

The social changes brought about by industrial development have not yet affected this place. Here, street lamps still need to be lit manually. Not only cars, but even horse-drawn carriages are rarely seen on the streets. The means of transportation are limited to donkeys and some Inferior horses, people's commerce depends most of the time on the morning and evening fairs.

This is a non-religious area, and faith does not exist here.

The sun, which was obscured by shadows after 8:30 in the morning, did cause a lot of panic here, but as time passed without any surprises, this panic quickly subsided.

Compared to the chaos in the major religious areas, this is a good place.

It is not to say that the people here are educated or restrained on weekdays.

She is fearless out of sheer ignorance.

The street lights are lit by specialized lighters holding torches.

Inside the market, there was an old man sitting on a small wooden chair with his hands in his sleeves, his eyes just looking at the sky and not saying a word.

In front of him was a linen cloth about one meter long and wide, on which was meticulously tied spinach with twine, broccoli in a bamboo plaque, and carrots neatly arranged to wash away the mud.

It's not like other vendors around the market who have to pull up their sleeves and say something about the price and quantity. In his place, all the goods are clearly marked and put away in different categories, and the people who come to him to buy things are often the same. Pick up the vegetables you want, put down the money and leave, obviously they are regular customers.

A little boy who did not know who brought it, held a slender branch in his hand and stretched it to the torch on the top of the street lamp near the old man. corner.

There was a swarm of ants walking back and forth among the cracks in the stone bricks.

The little boy squatted by and watched for a while, then stretched out the tip of the branch with a small flame to kill the ants on the ground one by one.

Seeing that they were burnt into a tiny bit, I felt happy and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Just like when we were young, we like to pour water into the ant nest, or catch one or two cicadas, crush their wings, and put them in our hands to watch as toys.

This is undoubtedly a normal thing for young children.

"Brother, why are you burning them?"

At some point, a little girl came running from the side, squatted beside the boy, looked at the dozen or so little black spots on the ground that had stopped moving, grabbed the boy's hand and asked.

She is a kind child, and she can't see these weak lives being killed.

"Of course it's for fun, don't grab my hand, the fire is about to die!"

The boy's strength is always stronger than the girl's, so he easily broke his hand, and then turned his head to continue his actions.

Just waiting for him to look back, what he saw was an apple.

"This apple is for you, can you let them go?"

The old man held an apple in his hand and looked at the boy and asked.

When there was fruit to eat, the boy immediately turned his attention away from the ants. He grabbed the apple without washing it, nibbled it, and trotted away.

"Thank you, goodbye sir!"

The little girl smiled shyly at the old man and prepared to leave.

"Wait, this apple is for you."

The old man took out another apple, handed it to the girl, and then said,

"I have a small question. I was here today and I saw this scene, so I protected these ants from the little gentleman. What if I'm gone one day?"

In the mouth of the old man, what was originally an "ant" with a specific meaning turned into a "ant" with some kind of referential meaning.

Of course, the little girl couldn't understand the change in meaning.

"As long as you keep selling vegetables here, even if my brother comes again next time, can't you still stop him?"

The little girl's answer was of course.

That's right, if you meet him once in a while, you can't guarantee that he will be there again and again. In that case, why not just let him do things here all the time?

"Your answer is correct...much more correct than some adults think, I agree, so I decided to reward you with a tastier apple."

The old man was obviously very satisfied when he heard the little girl's answer.

He turned the hand holding the apple behind him, and when he stretched out his hand again, there was an apple with pale golden lines in his hand.

"Thank you, sir."

The girl took a bite of the apple and found it unexpectedly sweet, so she hopped away.

"How many awakened fruits are sought after by foreigners, you just give this little girl to eat, how many people in this world are more generous than you?"

When the old man straightened up again, a vague human figure in the shadow next to him said softly.

Awakening Fruit, its effect is not only to help aliens with the power level of aliens to awaken in a certain talent, but also to help an ordinary person who may have a talent to awaken his natural talent.

It's just that the success rate of the latter is very low, because no one can say that he can see whether ordinary people are born with talent. If that person is an ordinary person, then no matter how much he eats Awakening Fruits, it will have no effect.

It is also because of this that the figure in the shadow will say that the old man is generous.

"She is the first person I met who directly spoke out what I thought. It has nothing to do with age. I admire her and give her a gift, which is nothing."

The old man stood still, looked up at the bright starry sky that gradually appeared in the sky, and then said,

"I once asked a person the same question in the imperial capital. If there is a crisis in the world, will God save the ants in the world? The answer is naturally yes, because it is these ants who support them."

"So I asked again, will God always save the ants in the world? If one day, the crisis will threaten them, just like just a child who can be killed with an apple, if it is a burly adult with murderous intentions What about people, do I still dare to stop him?"

"Some people still do."

Another voice came from the shadows.

"I totally agree with this. There are always a few people who are not afraid of danger, such as the God of Justice, who does have justice and order in his heart, but "will stop" and "can stop" are not the same concept. We must use all the power at our disposal, even if some people will call us vile, and some people will regard us as life and death enemies."

The old man first pointed to the brightest star in the starry sky, his expression was a little lonely, and then he looked at the starry sky that appeared during the day, and then said,

"Why do they accept our offerings for hundreds of years or even thousands of years, and they can stand aside when a crisis comes, and choose to help or not? My thinking may be a bit biased, and I'm sorry for that Ben I just want to help our existence, but I just want to let other high-level beings know through him that some things are not for granted, and without believers, what are they?"

What's the best way to get someone to fight for something?

It is nothing more than making him a beneficiary or a victim of things, and the former is far less powerful than the latter!

As one of the most powerful humans in this era, the old man faces the starry sky, and every byte is sonorous and powerful!

"I'm afraid that some people in the empire will have some other ideas. After all, everyone wants to be that supreme being."

Everything has two sides, even if the original intention of the thing is good, it will still be polluted by the interests of some people in the process of implementation, and eventually become a tool for them to realize their own evil.

"Everything has to be serious. Of course I know what the consequences of telling the seal formation to the empire may be, but I don't tell them, can I just do this by myself? I stand It is the opposite of all religions, and I know this all the more, otherwise why should I be a five-year-old farmer in this place?"

If he wants to complete his plan, he must have huge human and material resources as support. He knows that he cannot do that, so he has to resort to external forces.

In the same way, he also knows that this approach of his may be just what some people want, and it will make the evil in some people's hearts just around the corner.

There are always some people who still think about how to satisfy their own desires even if they are facing a major disaster.

In their opinion, those crises will always be solved by heroes. What they have to do is to grab their own interests as much as possible while the hero saves the world, and let the hero have a "perfect ending" at the end of everything calm, and then step on the Follow the hero's corpse to pick the final fruit of victory.

The idea has to be said to be very appealing.

"Look, the stars are fading."

After a long silence, the old man's eyes locked on the brightest star in the starry sky.

......

The square in front of the Shrine of Justice in Lapagad.

When the Son's soul and body are united, the light elemental energy blooms in pure white radiance, and the resulting beam of light even reaches the sky.

In the planning process of the ceremonies of the Justice Sect, this phenomenon is to be shown to the entire city of Lapagad as a miracle, and there is also a desire to let some villages and towns outside the city see it together, maybe it can play a role Free publicity effect, make advance preparations for subsequent newspapers.

One or two people say that seeing miracles is innumerable. Now that hundreds of thousands of people have seen it together, no one will say that it is false propaganda.

However, no one expected that a solar eclipse suddenly appeared in the middle of the ceremony. Lapagade fell into complete darkness in an instant, and then the day and night were reversed. The starry sky that only appeared at night suddenly filled the whole sky. .

If it could be explained by a rare natural phenomenon before, the current situation where day and night are reversed, everyone knows that something must have happened.

Although the Lapagad city government responded very quickly, lighting up the public lights of the entire city immediately after the eclipse appeared, but this strange phenomenon still caused the people of Lapagad to fall into a brief panic.

After all, they are religious believers, and they are always a little sentimental in these aspects. The ceremony of the Temple of Justice is suddenly interrupted in the middle of the process, and no matter who it is, it will be muttering in their hearts.

It's just that most of the people here are loyal believers, so there is no confusion for the time being.

As usual, the sect of justice must hold an internal meeting immediately, not just because of public opinion, but must discuss and confirm the reasons for this vision.

But this time is the final stage of the ceremony. If it ends hastily, this time the ceremony will undoubtedly fail, so they must continue, no matter how to complete the ceremony successfully.

Who would have thought that when the Pope was about to continue the ceremony, the star representing the **** of justice suddenly dimmed...

This time, even Mathil Harris, who was the Pope, was a little overwhelmed for a while. He has been leading the Justice Sect for nearly 30 years as a Pope, and the sect has faced severe tests in all aspects. All survived smoothly, but he had never encountered such a situation!

Why did the star representing the **** of justice suddenly dim?

The next step is for the gods to infuse power and will into the Son. Do you want to continue now?

What if the accident happens again?

In just ten seconds, various possibilities flashed in Mathil Harris' mind.

In the end, he chose to bow his head, stroke his heart with his hand, and pray softly in his mouth.

He left the decision to the gods.

So in the next second, a deep and thick voice sounded in the ears of all the clergy in the Temple of Justice.

"I will come to this world to save the souls that should be saved!"

"I will come to this world and destroy the evil that has not been destroyed!"

"I will come to this world and bring justice and order to life!"

......

The most dazzling star was completely dark at this moment. The pure white beam of light was gradually rendered with a golden brilliance. The energy of the Holy Son turned from outward to convergent, and thousands of streamers fell from the sky, surrounding the incoming In this beam of light, an invisible momentum spread out.

All the believers in Lapagadden seemed to feel something at this time, and fell to the ground, even the Pope.

When the voices in other people's ears dissipated, only he was still listening to the oracle.

"Some beings have united to seal the entire starry sky. It is a special sealing formation that I have never seen before. Once it descends, it will be difficult to go back... I can only choose to descend completely, even if it makes my Part of the power is lost, and it must be lost in the future... This is a conspiracy, it is very important to find out who did it!"

Regarding his only spokesperson in the world, the God of Justice did not hide his findings, and he needed the forces of the Justice Sect to find out the reason for himself.

"Seal the starry sky?"

Mathil Harris lowered her head and frowned deeply. He didn't understand the meaning of the oracle, so he could only record everything he said for the time being.

And when all the clergy and believers of the justice sect were kneeling on the ground piously, for Julia, the opportunity finally came!

His eyes stayed on the translucent body in front of him, and then swept the surroundings vaguely.

Because the soul of the Holy Son in her body had been taken out, after the middle of the ceremony, she was taken to the side of the square with Tiffany, in order to prevent them from disturbing the ceremony.

At this time, there were only two knights watching over her and Tiffany, and they were still knights on the ground.

"Xiao Hei, it's up to you!"

Looking back at the empty road behind her, Julia said softly.

"What did you say?"

Tiffany, who was staring at the beam of light in a daze, heard Julia's words and didn't react. He turned his head in doubt and wanted to ask clearly, but a black mist suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was unconscious in the next second, and the two knights next to him also At the same time, they passed out, but they were originally kneeling on the ground, and they were on the edge of the square. Everyone was praying intently, and no one paid attention to it.

Support Tiffany before she falls, and then slowly lower her to the ground.

Yes, Julia didn't plan to take her with her, because she was not in danger, and taking her away here would convince her of her guilt.

What's more, Julia wasn't sure what she was thinking, and the previous letter had exhausted the trusting relationship between the two of her.

Because of the ongoing ceremony, the clergy in the entire Temple of Justice had gathered around the square at this time, but the interior was unguarded. Julia relied on Xiao Hei's guidance and flew all the way in the direction Donald and the others left. , and soon arrived near the Inquisition.

Standing behind a corner of a wall, Julia grabbed the edge of the wall and poked her head halfway to check the situation there.

Unsurprisingly, although the knights here were also praying, they did not leave the Inquisition half a step.

"How are we going to inform Big Brother Donald... can you beat them?"

"I can win against them, but it is absolutely impossible for the guards here to only have the two at the door. There must be a few people inside the Inquisition. If something happens outside the door, the people inside will immediately lock them up. Once the people of the Justice Sect notice it. The situation here, let alone we are all still in shackles, even if we are all free, it is useless... We must find a way to bring out all the people inside to solve it, and then we will go in... .Unfortunately, I don't know how to break the shackles, otherwise I can summon your other servants, which should help."

Although the effect of the disabled magic shackles is only useful to the wearer, aside from the magic, the material itself and the seal inscription engraved on it are not so easy to unravel.

"Then what should we do, the ceremony of the Justice Sect will end soon, if we waste time here, how will we run later?"

"The current situation can only be done in the past. The key to the prison is in their hands. If they want to save people, they must have a fight with them. I try to keep my voice down... Wait, how did they get in? ?"

There was still discussion here, but the two people at the door seemed to have heard something and pushed open the door of the Inquisition and ran in.

"Let's go over there, this is a good chance to solve them all at once!"

Although I don't know why they want to enter the door, this is undoubtedly the opportunity in front of me, and Julia rushed over without any hesitation.

At this time, in the Inquisition, Julia had no longer wanted to help.

"I'm really sorry, gentlemen, I can't waste time here, I have to get out of here quickly, so can you please open the door for me?"

Donald stood behind the iron fence and spoke to the knights standing outside.

"Are you crazy? Go back and sit and be quiet!"

The guard here frowned and looked at the calm-looking young man in the prison, wondering why people who were normal a few hours ago suddenly had imaginings.

"No, I'm just stating a fact. If you don't open the door for me, I think I'm going to be prepared to take some special measures."

Donald glanced to the side, and suddenly raised his hands. In front of the knights, he suddenly formed a magic seal, and a translucent magic circle lit up in front of him.

Soundproofing barrier!

In the next second, the unbreakable shackles in the eyes of these righteous sect knights suddenly burst!

What followed was the harsh sound of steel twisting and breaking.

"You... oops, let me know..."

The knights who can be sent to guard the Inquisition are naturally not weak. When they saw the disabled shackles falling, they immediately realized the danger and pushed their companions away, wanting them to go out and inform the others in the sect.

However, since Donald did this in front of them, he naturally had his reasons.

The knight who was pushed away felt as if he had hit a wall, and before he could stand firm, the vision in front of him was spinning.

The last scene that appeared in his field of vision was the fence of the cell that was pulled apart by brute force not far away.

The knights on the other side were about to turn around, and another shadow jumped up in the air beside him. His free hand swept across Donald's cell, and the hilt of the long sword that appeared from Donald's space ring was already in his hand.

He chopped off several iron rods, spun his body to the ground, supported the ground with one hand, and a blood line opened on the necks of the remaining knights beside him. land.

As a high-level undead spirit, Lilo, who has untied the shackles, is not easy to kill these guards!

Anthony grabbed the iron fence in front of Donald and easily spread them to both sides, while Lilo carried her sword to where Finger and Stephanie were.

Donald moved his wrists twice, put his hands in his pockets again, and strode out of the prison.

After deciding to do it, Donald immediately used his own strength to help Anthony and Lilo untangle the shackles according to the method given by Hannibal, and then attracted attention and bought them time to act.

And this series of changes naturally attracted the attention of other prisoners in the Inquisition.

When these people recovered from their shock, the originally quiet Inquisition immediately became noisy.

They don't care how Donald did it, they just know that someone is about to successfully escape the Inquisition!

"Hey! Help me open the shackles too!"

"Your Excellency, as long as you can save me, I can give you my life savings!"

"Please save me, I am willing to be your most faithful servant!"

......

The noisy and chaotic voices came from all directions of the entire Inquisition. Donald smiled, raised his hand to smooth the folds on his body, and helped Julia, who had just come in from the door, to remove the restraint, and took the running Finger back into his arms.

From the beginning to the end, Donald ignored the shouting people around him, and the soundproof barrier arranged in advance was just for them.

Except for his companions, Donald doesn't want to save anyone here, including Horn and others!

Donald didn't forget where this place was. Several dominant-level powerhouses were near the Temple of Justice. If these people were released to make some noise, he didn't think he could escape from the siege of the Justice Sect.

"We are a demon family~lightnovelpub.net~Joshua Grant is our uncle, if you are a demon family too, save us!"

But at this moment, a voice suddenly entered Donald's ear, the voice was very close, and the two demon dependents in the cell on the right were holding the iron rod. Joshua Grant?

Donald hadn't heard of the name, but the surname caught his attention.

After a few minutes.

The doors of the Inquisition opened.

Donald walked at the front of the team, and behind him, in addition to Anthony, there were two more demon family members who were still in shackles.

"This is the last time, City of Demingham...it's not over yet!"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the beam of light that had not yet dissipated on the Temple of Justice Square, clenched his fist, turned his head and left without hesitation in the other direction.

On the plateau near La Pagade.

The dragon flutters its wings!
