Chapter 649: Tortola Pact (5)
The corpse was a demon that looked very similar to a human in appearance and stature, but with fiery red skin and a tail, it had been stabbed to death by a soldier with a spear, and the spear pierced its heart and remained on it to this day, and from this point of view, the demon's combat power did not seem to be very good.
The holy warrior in charge of searching for the corpse was wearing a light chain mail with a bright white chain mail, and the chest of the smock wore the holy emblem of the Moonlight Goddess, obviously he was a holy warrior belonging to the Moonlight Temple, but he was surprisingly young, and a faint layer of fluff had just emerged from his mouth, and he was a miserable green boy who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old.
Strictly speaking, he is not a regular holy warrior, but only a holy warrior preparatory student, only after passing a series of tests can he become a real moonlight holy warrior, such preparatory students no matter which temple there are many, generally orphans adopted by the temple since childhood, cultivated since childhood, whether faith or heartfelt will be extremely strong.
"Ma'am."
Seeing Gwen Leia coming over, the young holy warrior preparer nodded hurriedly, his face was a little red, and his expression was a little nervous and excited,
Originally, he was not qualified to participate in this war, and together with the other preparatory students, he asked not to go out in the temple, but the restless heart of the young man could not be suppressed by a single order, and after the high-ranking holy warriors left to participate in the war, these young people also secretly left the temple, full of blood and passion to establish their own merits.
Reality taught them a heavy lesson, and soon they encountered a small wave of demons, and the young preparers suffered heavy losses under the battle, if it wasn't for Gwenleia leading the crowd to arrive in time, they would have been wiped out, which means that his little life was saved by Gwenleia, so for Gwenleia, he still has this kind of gratitude.
"What's the problem?"
Gwenleia stared at the demon in front of the holy warrior, and after a slight groan, she said, "Secret demon? ”
"Yes ma'am, it's a secret demon."
The young paladin nodded, "That's why I think it's strange that the secret demon shouldn't be here." ”
The secret demon is an extremely rare type of abyss demon, this is not a powerful demon, on the contrary, its strength is very weak, but their natural ability is very weird, they can break all the magic circles, enchantments, instinctively find all the secret rooms, even if this secret room is hidden in another dimension, in addition, it can also decipher all the secret words, no matter what complex encryption method this secret language uses, it can be directly interpreted in the eyes of the secret demon.
This is amazing, which means that all the secrets no longer exist in the eyes of the secret demons, even if the gods themselves encrypt it, but fortunately, the number of secret demons is very small, and their own combat power is weak, and they belong to the first class of rare species in the endless abyss, and they will never show up if they are closely protected.
However, at this moment, there is a secret demon here that should be closely protected, and the strongest of the surrounding guardian demons is only of an extraordinary level, and the number is not very large, there must be something wrong with this!
Willow's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Gwen Leia said, "Did you find anything on it?" ”
"Yes, ma'am."
As she spoke, the young paladin priest handed over a small piece of leather, dark red, rough and tough, with a strong smell of sulfur, apparently peeled and tanned from some demon.
"Demon ......"
Taking the leather and looking at the very complex lines, shapes and words on it, Gwenleia was a little helpless, if there was a mage here, a "literate text" would allow her to understand these demonic ghost talismans, but the only casters here were priests and paladins, and most of them were half-.
"Let me do it, Ms. Gwen."
A slightly nervous voice came from the side, speaking from a handsome girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a thin priest's robe, wearing the emblem of the Lord of the Morning Sun's apprentice priest, but her elk-like eyes flashed with longing and adoration for Gwyn Leia.
This is also a little priest who was rescued by Gwynlea, the difference is that she did not venture without permission, but the small temple in the civilian area of the Light Holy City where she was located was attacked by demons, and most of the priests inside were killed in battle, and Gwenleia arrived in time to save her.
"Can you read the Demon Script?"
Gwen Leia was a little surprised, the demon script is very complex, it is a kind of graphic text, a figure can sometimes contain hundreds of letters of analysis, it is very difficult to learn, and few people will take the initiative to learn it with the help of the spell of "knowing words".
The little priest nodded a little shyly and said, "Lord Bishop is responsible for handling the collected demon contracts and other documents, so for the sake of convenience, I will learn it." ”
After saying that, she stared at the demon document in her hand for a while, and a shocked look suddenly appeared on her little face, and she shouted, "This is a high-level demon contract book!" ”
"This contract is the blood lord of one of the demon archdukes, and ...... And...... Signed by His Majesty Tortola Taton! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was immediately taken aback, and several clerics couldn't help but shout: "This is absolutely impossible, you must have seen it wrong!" ”
Tortora Tatton was the Emperor of the Radiant Empire who reigned about seventy years ago, and his place changed every ten years, and after that, he left a lot of fame among the emperors of the Radiant Empire, but it was His Majesty the Emperor who changed his previous emperor's style of eating and waiting for death, and was angry and tried to strengthen the centralization of power, strengthen the imperial power, and competed with the Sanguang Council, and even he himself became a legendary powerhouse.
Of course, in the end, Tortora's efforts failed, and he was ousted from power at the end of the decade, and then disappeared during an astral expedition, but it was because of his resistance, or ambition, that the Council of the Three Lights enacted many policies to reduce the burden on the common people, so it was remembered by the people, unlike other emperors who were forgotten when the time came.
Most of the priests present were from the commoner class, so they had a good impression of Emperor Tortora, who had fought for his own interests, so it was difficult to accept that His Majesty the Emperor would actually be related to the Abyss Demon and was also a Demon Grand Duke.
"The contract has His Majesty's signature on it, and even the name of the contract is called 'Tortola's contract', and you don't know the devil's contract, so you can't fake it at all."
The little priest said with a complicated expression: "So there is no doubt that this is the contract that Emperor Tortora once signed with the Demon Grand Duke's Blood Master, and its content is ...... In due moments, he will sacrifice the lives of all the inhabitants of the Light Grace Holy City in exchange for a devastating blow from the demon army to the three temples of Dawn, Twilight, and Moonlight! ”
