Chapter 45: The Shelter

It's a shelter for a cosy town.

Because of the massacre of necromantic creatures in recent days, the residents of the surrounding villages have evacuated their original addresses and temporarily lived in the shelter of the warm town, and food, drinking water, and beds were distributed by the town's city hall. There should have been a lot of voices here, but it was quiet.

Not a dead silence.

It's not deliberately quiet.

It's not a calm without emotion.

Anyone who takes a look will fall into the same "silence".

The two-storey, five-hundred-square-metre shelter was filled with people in all but the staircase. Yes, "Full" - everyone was placed on the mat like a toy, sallow-faced, unconscious, could only moan meaninglessly, could not speak, and was clearly suffering from some kind of disease. The rest of the people either knelt silently in front of the sickbeds of relatives and friends, looking even more haggard than the sick; Or walk between the mats with candles and wet towels in hand to see if any patient needs help. The latter are basically white-robed sacrifices, and there are also a few middle-aged women with kind faces who take care of them. There was also a considerable group of healthy people sitting in the corner of the house, most of them already asleep, and the little half were still with their eyes open and silent.

It's a space where a tragic atmosphere is brewing. In the darkness, a faint halo of light slowly passes through the air, the light cannot give hope or add warmth, it represents "powerlessness". That's why the shelter is so quiet...... A sickly, isolated quiet.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The leader of the guards was also lying on the mat, the one closest to the door, for he was the latest to be brought in. At this time, he was tilting his head, looking at the other patients, and his young face was full of sadness.

"What are you thinking? Ahem, ahem. Bishop Pooh walked over and asked softly. His face is not good-looking, and he is definitely the one who should be relieved to recuperate among so many people present.

"Both the villagers who had come to the town for refuge and the natives of the town had fallen ill. In the face of the plague, everyone is equal. "The head of the guards had a heavy voice, and his voice was not like what he should have at his age.

Bishop Pooh smiled and didn't reply, just sat down on the spot. When the other priests saw this, they tried to get their chairs, but the bishop waved his hand to stop them.

"Master Pooh, I have never liked the Holy See, and I have no religious thoughts. In my opinion, religion is only a matter for the rich, and has nothing to do with us inferior people. But, that day, a missionary changed my mind, well, 'slightly' changed. ”

"I grew up in a cosy town. Growing up, every year I could see the townspeople and the neighboring townspeople arguing and even fighting. Why? Because of the proximity to the warm woodland, the residents of our town can get more employment opportunities, and it is because of this that the residents of the neighboring town are jealous of us. But it's none of our business, right? Most of the townspeople just help the rich man manage the orchard, and they don't have much money. If you want to be red-eyed, why don't you blush those rich people? ”

"But...... There are always other towns competing with us for the management of the warm woodlands. From time to time, they invited some underworld forces to go into the orchards and cut down trees, steal the livestock raised by the residents, and intimidate us in all kinds of ways. Therefore, everyone fought very hard, and a few people were seriously injured each time, so that the independent regiment had to arrest people everywhere. ”

"The 'doomsday confrontation' forced the whole country to leave. After coming back, I thought that the warm woodland would be destroyed, and the conflicts between towns would be reduced, but I didn't expect the situation of the warm town to be even more difficult...... The Karl lord of Osgilia openly offered to annex the town to Osgilia, as did several other cities, and even sent soldiers to force us to move. They are not fighting for the town, but for this warm woodland, and they feel that even if the fruit trees are dead, the land is still valuable. Almost, just a little, we can't live where we have lived for generations. Equality for all? I never thought about it. As long as you have money, you can tell anyone to get out of the house, which is considered equality. ”

But when Woody the missionary came, everything was different. He has the same temperament in him as you do, Lord Bishop. 'Whoever wants this town, will exchange his city for it?' When confronted with demolition teams in five or six cities, Missionary Woody said only one sentence, and I had never seen that kind of calm on anyone's face. ”

Then, the city lords gave up. Missionary Woody said that no one is willing to exchange what they have been doing for a long time, that is, as the saying goes, 'someone else's mansion is not as good as their own bungalow'. However, in the face of several powerful city lords, why did the Woody missionary still maintain a calm face? Isn't he afraid of being caught? He was just a middle-level priest, why did he dare to talk to a group of powerful people like this? Perhaps, he also understood something from the Bible so that he could stand up and speak for us. So, when I read the Bible, what do I see? Can even an illiterate person like me, who has nothing but being a soldier, understand the Bible? ”

The leader of the guards suddenly burst into tears, his shoulder wounded, unable to move, and he could only twist his face to the side and sobbed lowly. He closed his eyes tightly and said, "Is there a way in the Bible for everyone to stop suffering?" If you believe in the Lord, will you be able to save everyone? ”

"Yes." Bishop Pooh whispered. "Ahem, as long as you can hold such a wishβ€”"

Bang!

There was a loud noise, and the patients were all shaken up! The woman screamed in fright and almost didn't drop the candle on the patient! There was the screams of soldiers at the door, and the screams were getting closer, closer and closer!

Suddenly, there was no sound outside the door. All I could hear was the sound of each other's breathing in the house.

Unusually quiet.

…… Abnormal.

"Who ......" the leader of the guards struggled to his feet, figuring his weapon as Bishop Pooh held it down lightly in the chest.

The door creaked open, and most of the lights went out instantly, and the corner of the wall fell into shadow. Outside, the moonlight shone down, and a long shadow covered the leader of the guards. A figure wearing a crown stepped through the door, his eyes lit up with blue flames, and his voice was low: "I'll just say, why is the defense so lax, it turns out that there is a plague spreading!" ”

After seeing clearly that it was a skeleton, the women screamed and jumped to their feet, jumped over the mats, and ran up the stairs. The sound of cutting meat came from the second floor, which made people's hearts shake.

Qingyi looked up: "I remember, Youxue is on it, probably won't be very safe." ”

"Filthy, filthy necromantic creatures, I was negligent that you entered the town again. Ahem, get me out now, don't hurt these innocent people! Bishop Pooh walked up to the Necromantic King, his thin body stretched straight. The aura beneath his feet shone brightly, emitting a golden glow of stars in the whirlpool, including the doorway; The Necromantic King emitted thick black smoke from his body, and as for the restless skeletons behind him, they didn't even dare to step into it.

Qing Yi glanced at the leader of the guards who was lying on the ground who was seriously injured by Yin Lei and Youxue successively, and shrugged: "I never kill people who are dying, so I won't even move any of the people here." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, who's dying?! If you take a closer look at me, no one here will die, and all of them will live in good health! The leader of the guards glared at Qing Yi and scolded loudly: "Necromantic creature, get out of here!" ”

Qingyi snorted, and the scepter pointed at the leader of the guards: "I don't know whether to live or die." [Shadow Clone]! ”

A figure stood up from the feet of the leader of the guards and lay down on him, his hands clawed, and he was about to slit his throat! The leader of the guards, who was covered in shadows, couldn't move, and he didn't even have time to close his eyes!

"The Lord says, 'Dust to dust, and dust to dust, and whence you come from, to whither you return."

It's [Reverse Teleportation]!

The shadow clone twisted painfully and bounced back into Qingyi's shadow. Xue Duowei shouted: "How is it possible! Uncle Ben's invincible assassination secret technique actually failed! Would highly recommend one more time! ”

The leader of the guards broke out in a cold sweat at this time, feeling a burst of weakness, and the scene began to shake in his eyes.

Qingyi said angrily to the shadow: "Don't talk nonsense, [Black Bladeβ€”β€”! ”

"The Lord says that I want you to shut up." With a certain kind of coldness inherited from heaven, Bishop Pooh said lightly, it is actually [forbidden]!

Qingyi smiled, the skull face smiled so terrifyingly, and the straight man was chilled.

"β€”Roundabout]! Who told you that the host activated the skill? Remember Uncle Ben's name! Uncle Ben is Xue Duo, the shadow walker! "The shadows swelled, like a large black tree, and countless branches stretched out to the floor, the walls, and the ceiling, each of which was sharp enough to cut through a wood-splitting knife. In the next instant, the Shadow Blade swirled violently, engulfing Bishop Pooh like a cocoon! It's just that the cocoon can give beautiful wings to the silkworm, while the [Black Blade Circle] can only give the enemy wings to fly to heaven!

The leader of the guards roared, "No! ——”

Flutter ...... Blood splattered from all sides of the black blade. In the dim environment, the blood stains seemed to be as black as shadows.
