Chapter 272: White Forest (4)
"It's time to go." Jennifer raised her gun and smashed the head of a zombie who had recklessly appeared near the fire, then looked at the zombies gathering outside, "Caterina will be fine." ”
"I hope so." Icabold said with a grim face, he knew what was going on, and the task at hand was to stop Moloch, which was their duty as witnesses.
Unbeknownst to Icabold and Mills, however, Moroch might just be the first enemy in their path.
Grabbing their rifles, the group slipped out through the side door of the room, where they could avoid the zombies' first pursuit, and then they headed straight for Moloch.
However, the plan is good, but there are often many surprises in the process of implementing the plan.
"Henry!" As soon as the three of them stepped out of the door of the room, they saw a strange and familiar figure standing in the open space outside, "Why are you here?" Icabold asked in a deep voice.
"Didn't you come here to find us?" Henry's slow, deep voice came out of his mouth, he was a wizard in addition to being a war knight.
This is not good news, Icabard's heart is sinking, in a sense, he does not want to face his own son Henry, but fate plays a big joke on him.
And what's worse now is that Icabold searched around without leaving a trace, and didn't find Yi Huan's figure, which means that Yi Huan has disappeared.
Where did he go? Icabold couldn't guess at all.
"Bang!" Icabold may not be able to bear to do it, but Mills and Jennifer are completely unpressed, and Jennifer shoots first. The bullet hit Henry in the left arm.
Then. Two more gunshots. Henry's left and right hands were pierced by bullets, and the injuries would greatly slow down a wizard's spell casting, which is recorded in Green's notes, which Yi Huan told them before leaving.
"You shouldn't be standing here." There was a look of pain and remorse on Ikabard's face, and then he stiffened his face and looked at Henry with unusual calm, and also raised the crossbow arrow in his hand and aimed it at his heart.
"Why. Because you're going to kill me, and my father wants to kill me? Henry's hands trembled, and blood dripped down his palms to the ground.
"In the book of Genesis, God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac." Icabold suddenly slowed his tone and said, holding his crossbow arrow.
"The union of Isaac, Genesis 22, yes, I have seen this sad story." Henry said mockingly, as if mocking Icabard's hypocrisy.
Both Mills and Jennifer had read the Book of Genesis, and their brows furrowed. It doesn't seem to agree with Ikabard's next move.
Ignorant of them, Ikabard continued to speak. "Abraham was going to do as he was told, but at the last moment, God gave him a sheep to sacrifice in place of Isaac."
The muscles on Henry's face twitched, and he didn't know what expression he had suppressed.
"If there is no other way, I will give my life with this sword to you, but we have another choice, a mighty sheep. ”
"Moroch......," Henry muttered to himself.
"Moroch." Icabold nodded approvingly, "My child, let me go and I'll send Moloch back to hell, you lose your armor, you don't have to." ”
"Moloch will fail, and you will be free, to live the life you want, no longer as a pawn, but as a beloved, living in this world of free will."
"You...... Intend to keep me alive? Henry straightened up and looked at Icabold in disbelief, "You don't want to give up on me, you should say...... You never gave up on me. ”
Seeing that he seemed to have moved Henry, Icabold looked at Mills for advice, if possible, he didn't want to kill Henry, but at this moment, Mills shouted, "Be careful, Crane! ”
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! In the next moment, Mills and Jennifer raised their guns and continued to shoot at Henry, and the gunfire rang out seven or eight times in a row, pushing Henry back again, who was trying to rush up.
Many of them had bullets hit Henry's heart, and Icabold, who turned his head, looked at this qiē blankly, as if he couldn't accept it.
"Is that what you are talking about, Ikabard, who is also a Witness?" Henry clutched his heart and took a step back, staggering, but he didn't fall, he raised his head and smiled strangely at the three of them.
At this time, Mills noticed that the situation seemed to be wrong, although Henry was shot several times, but no blood flowed from other wounds except for his hands, and she was about to remind her, "Bang! With an explosion, several thick rattans burst out of the ground, tying the three of them tightly.
Henry's figure in front of him turned into a puff of mist, "You can make up your mind to kill your own son, so what right do you have to accuse me of falling into hell." ”
With this slow, low voice, Henry's figure once again stepped out from behind the fog, and he came to the front of several people, and watched them quietly.
Damn wizard trick, Jennifer cursed, what about that guy? It must have escaped.
These people had no idea that wizards liked to play the trick of stand-ins, and Yi Huan and Winnie also stood in the fog and watched what was happening in the field.
He hugged Winnie, the invisibility cloak covered the bodies of the two, and even the breath could be hidden, and the zombies around him were not aware at all, and they were still staggering forward.
The invisibility cloak of one of the three Hallows of death is in the hands of Charlespotter, and although he usually takes off enthusiastically, he is not idiotic enough to give away the ancestral invisibility cloak to others.
Therefore, the means obtained by this invisibility cloak are not legitimate, and it was looted by the Knights of Walples under Yi Huan, that is, the Albroche family, but as compensation, Yi Huan used the feathers of the sleeping birds on Neverland to weave an identical cloak for Kerry to send back.
There is not much difference between the two cloaks, except for the maker and the name, the function is almost identical, and it is estimated that with the IQ of Charles Sport, he should not have noticed it yet.
Yi Huan did not leave early, but disappeared into the fog with Winnie when he found out that Henry had arrived, because he did not receive the prompt of the carrier on Henry's body.
The light spots on the map still flickered and dimmed to indicate that they were not far away, indicating that the bearer was not Henry, but either Caterina or Moroch.
In either case, it seems that not showing up can reduce the variables, lest Moloch escape to Hell because the enemy is too strong or kill Caterina early for sacrifice.
So, when Henry came here, he found that Yi Huan had disappeared, and for some unknown reason, he didn't look for Yi Huan, a potential enemy.
Looking at the three people who were tightly bound by the trees and vines, Henry showed a trace of calm after the conspiracy succeeded, "Come on, Moloch is waiting for you." (To be continued......)
