Chapter 250: The Corrupt Nation (Part II)
"What's going on?"
Looking at the sky that suddenly turned blood-red, Nadia couldn't help but be stunned, but seeing this scene, Jenn immediately frowned, and then he immediately glanced at Enoya. They both saw a hint of vigilance and uneasiness in each other's eyes. The smell of blood in the air became thicker and stronger, and even a little breathless............
"Woo-ah............!!"
Before he could say anything more, a scream came, and everyone followed the voice, only to see that by Nadia's side, Calvin, who was standing there, screamed and fell to the ground, he stretched out his hand and tore his throat desperately, his eyes and mouth wide open, as if someone was strangling his throat hard. Soon, however, his hands fell from his arms, and his whole body began to melt like a candle on fire. And almost at the same time, the other two people also fell to the ground, screaming and began to roll, their faces began to melt, and soon, the originally clear facial features had condensed, and it was no longer possible to distinguish each other. Not only that, but their bodies also began to gradually become soft and melt, and their clothes merged with their flesh and blood, and they could no longer distinguish each other.
"What the hell is this ........."
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of him, only Jenn frowned, then he looked around, and then turned his gaze to the tavern not far away.
"Everybody's in!"
As he spoke, Jenn immediately grabbed Elise and Enoa, and the whole person turned into a lightning bolt and rushed towards the tavern. Nadia was a step slower, but she reacted quickly and hurried behind Jenn. Rushing into the tavern without looking back. I don't know why Jenn chose there, but along the way, Nadia has become accustomed to what Jenn says. Although this young nobleman said that his attitude was not as respectful to him as the noble heirs she had seen before, he was even a little arrogant. But Nadia had to admit that the other party's insight was far above her own. At this time, the only thing she could do was to follow the other party's orders.
The door of the Blue Cat Tavern on the side of the square was closed, but this naturally did not bother Jenn, who almost broke through the door and rushed into the tavern, and then quickly came to the kitchen with the other three, and then Jenn opened the door of the underground cellar without hesitation and made a gesture to the three of them.
"Go down!"
No one questioned Jenn's orders, though neither Elise nor Nadia knew what Jenn was trying to do. But they obeyed Jenn's orders and quickly descended to the cellar. After Enoa had also entered the cellar, Jenn was the last to jump in, and then closed the door of the cellar again.
The cellar was so dark that it was almost impossible to see five fingers, but soon, the faint holy light emanating from Nadia's body dispelled the darkness and re-illuminated the qiē in front of her.
"What the hell is going on? Mr. Jenn, what the hell was that ......... just now?"
Even in the light of the Holy Light. Nadia's face was still pale, or even paler. After all, Calvin's death came too weirdly and suddenly, and to be honest, Nadia didn't expect those to be rescued by herself. The three teenagers who came here together would turn into a puddle of meat in the blink of an eye. It was the first time she felt how fragile human life was, even though Nadia had experienced all sorts of blows more than once since she started this trial journey. But this scene still shocked her quite a bit -- you must know that it was just now. The boy named Calvin also said that he would go to the church to be a probationary knight, and she agreed with the other party to introduce the boy to the True Eye Church after the mission was over. At that time, Calvin and his two companions, who had received Nadia's promise, looked so excited that Nadia could even see in their eyes the desire for a better life in the future. But I didn't expect the world to be unpredictable. In the blink of an eye, they were completely dead, and even the corpses became miserable.
If Jenn knew what Nadia was thinking deep down at this moment, then he would definitely complain that this paladin was really immortal, and he still wanted to live when such an obvious flag was planted?
"Now things get troublesome."
With the help of the Holy Light, Jenn glanced at the underground wine cellar in front of him, which looked no different from an ordinary underground wine cellar, and said that this was just a tavern, not the entrance and exit of some secret passage, but at the moment, Jenn didn't care about this wine cellar, but what was happening outside.
"It's the Devouring Ritual......... I really didn't expect these guys to be so frustrated......... Forget it, they are familiar with this kind of thing, and there is nothing more to say. ”
"Devouring ritual?"
Hearing this, Nadia couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, Devouring Ritual, you should know that the Order of the Mother of Chaos believes in Nicholas, and her alias is 'Devouring God', not to mention whether everything in the world, including the gods, was really born by her, but this evil god's appetite is indeed first-class, and there are almost no things that enter her devouring realm that are not digested by her. I don't know if the gods are there, but for mortals, when Nicholas opens his mouth, that's when they become a meal on a plate. ”
At this, Jenn paused.
And this is also a characteristic of the Order of the Mother of Chaos, they are particularly fond of performing rituals in cities and kingdoms that are on the verge of destruction and death, and then summon Nicholas - of course, as an evil god, Nicholas cannot descend to the main plane, so their ritual is to summon the projection of Nicholas's stomach here, and then the fat toad they believe in can feast to their heart's content.
"This ..............."
Hearing this, not only Nadia, but even Elise were dumbfounded, but soon, they all reacted.
"So now we're in Nicholas's stomach?"
"That's pretty much it......... I finally understand why I can't see half a corpse in the whole city, I guess they were all eaten by Nicholas, although those plague-transformed madmen are a problem for us, but for Nicholas it's a dish anyway, no matter how you eat it, it's ........."
At this, Jenn pursed his lips. In fact, strictly speaking, Nicholas is considered an ancient evil god, and the demons of the lower realm do not deal with these ancient evil gods very well. Because the ancient evil gods are a little crazy in the eyes of the demons, of course, this does not mean that the demons are mentally normal, but compared to those crazy guys, the demons are somewhat rational. And many of the demon kings of the demon clan came to power after the battle of creation. I don't have any respect for those old natures before, if it weren't for the ancient evil gods having their own territory, and they didn't go to the lower realm to mix with the demons, maybe the two sides would have fought a long time ago.
"And will we be eaten by her too?"
Hearing this, Nadia's face became more and more pale, she had only heard about the ancient evil god and what realm in the storybook, but when she really faced an ancient evil god, the situation was different. Even if you are a god-favored knight, it does not mean that you can meet a true god anytime and anywhere.
"It's pretty much the same, but in fact it's not her who eats us, and you can't see her ............."
In fact, Jenn didn't explain much to everyone, according to the literature, Nicholas's domain is within her body, which means that those guys of the Mother of Chaos Order almost skip the stage of serving and eating when they sacrifice, and directly enter the rhythm of digestion in the stomach. Of course, in this case, the nature that Nicholas uses to digest food is the "microbes" in her stomach.
"So what should we do? Will it be possible to find the center of the ritual and destroy that place completely? ”
"That's a good idea, but unfortunately it's useless."
Jenn shrugged his shoulders at Nadia's inquiry.
"Now we are in Nicholas's belly, and how long we can stay here depends entirely on how long the ritual can last. Judging from the situation in front of them, it is not the first time that these cultists have held a ritual, and the duration must not be short, and what's worse is that now the outside has been completely shrouded by the power of Nicholas, even you, Nadia Paladin, can't support it for too long when you rush out. ”
"So, are we going to stay here until the ceremony is over? Master? ”
Hearing this, Elise asked.
"Although I also want to do this, but as the ritual progresses, Nicholas will devour more and more things, at first she will only devour life, and then gradually she will eat a qiē -- it can be said that if no one cares, she can even digest the whole city, and then we will be like fruit slices sandwiched in the middle of a fruit cake, and we will not be able to run away if we want to."
"So what are we going to do?"
In the face of Jenn's answer, Nadia's face became more and more solemn, but compared to her, Elise and Enoa seemed quite calm, although Jenn still did not say anything, but they believed that their master was definitely not a person who would sit here and wait for death.
Sure enough, hearing Nadia's question, Jenn smiled slightly, then reached out and raised his glasses.
"Since she's going to eat us all, it's fine to let her know we're not digestible......... Luckily......... The lunar eclipse is already at hand. ”
As he spoke, Jenn stretched out his hand, and soon, his wrist flipped, and the next moment, a black thing appeared in front of Jenn.
It was the loot Jenn had received from Alexander, the Sword of the Shadow Moon. (To be continued......)
