The Holy City, a quiet place built over thousands of years and rarely set foot foot. It is covered by ice and snow all year round, and the four seasons are like winter, and as far as the eye can see, the white expanse is like a masterpiece of nature!

The entire holy city is surrounded by an ice wall more than 20 meters high, leaving only a huge ice gate, which can be regarded as the only entrance and exit of the holy city. The buildings in the city are very simple, mostly bungalows, with only a few small buildings.

But at the very far end of the holy city, there stands a huge statue that stands out. The whole statue is more than ten meters high, and although it is covered with red dye, it can still be distinguished that it is a woman at this moment, or a woman with long hair and a snake body.

But why should a statue be painted with such an ugly red paint? It's just confusing.

Not far behind this huge statue is a huge temple. Again, this temple is not very high, and it has only one floor, but its area is very large, enough to reach thousands of square meters.

There is a statue on the left and right of the entrance to the temple, with a stone dragon on the left and a large snake with wings on the right. What makes people a little speechless is that these two statues are also painted in red, which looks a little more ferocious, but it gives people a feeling of adding to the snake.

Next to these two stone sculptures, stood two rows of soldiers in silver armor. These soldiers are not only tall and straight, but there is also a murderous aura between their eyebrows, which makes people dare not approach easily. The presence of fierce soldiers and a few strange stone carvings are enough to show the importance of this temple in the holy city.

In fact, this temple used to be the temple of the Holy City, and it was the holiest and most unpresumptuous place in the entire Holy City. But after the arrival of the ruthless demon king, this place was not only occupied by him and turned into his dormitory, but even the statue in front of the temple was desecrated.

The people living in the holy city only dared to be angry about this, and as the years went by, the old people gradually passed away, and the people slowly forgot that it was still a temple, and perhaps only knew not to go near it easily, otherwise they would be punished the most severely.

In addition to this temple, there is another place in the holy city that ordinary people dare not approach, and that is the death row located less than five hundred meters away from the temple.

This death row did not exist in the first place, but was specially set up after the arrival of the demon king to punish the rebels in the city.

Although the name of this prison is death row, in fact, there are also prisoners who have been imprisoned and come out of it alive. Just the prisoners who escaped will become a little different. For example, some people were still trying their best to resist the oppression of the demon king, but after they came out, they announced that they would swear allegiance to the demon king; For example, some people are very thin, but when they come out, they become as strong as cattle and have a thirst for killing.

Some people say that death row contains extremely powerful magic, and if anyone goes in, he will no longer be his original self. It is even rumored that there is a huge altar in that death row, and there will be monsters that do not belong to this world crawling out of the altar.

Therefore, if anyone tries to resist the Demon King, they will never end well.

The Demon King has long become the most terrifying existence in the entire Holy City, and people have become accustomed to obeying him, and have become accustomed to this kind of life that is inferior to pigs and dogs. Perhaps they are also looking forward to the day when they can laugh freely, be fed and clothed, and go out of the holy city to see the outside world. But this is just a good wish of theirs, because in their opinion, in this world, there is no one who can compete with the Demon King, let alone challenge the authority of the Demon King. Unless, there will be a hero who will help everyone defeat the Demon King and grant them freedom. But, is this really possible?

In a cold, dimly lit cell on death row, the nightingales were curled up and leaning against each other. It was so cold here that they shivered, and they could barely survive by warming each other.

Nightingale and Shirley are slightly better, after all, they are physically stronger than the others. But these five poor shrine maidens are very bad now, especially Hongmei.

She was the girl who had been impaled in the calf by the sharp teeth of the white boar two days earlier, and in such a cold environment, her injuries began to deteriorate, and the whole person fell into a high fever and drowsiness.

Everyone knew that she must not be allowed to sleep at this time, because after she did, she would never wake up again.

The nightingale looked at the pale and trembling red plum, and finally decided to fight for her.

She got up with some difficulty, and then walked to the cell door step by step.

The entire cell was only a dozen square meters in size, and there was almost nothing in the cell, except for a stone on the wall that emitted a faint yellow light.

The nightingale wanted to ask the jailer for something to eat, or something to keep warm. If she doesn't, I'm afraid it won't be long before Hongmei closes her eyes forever.

She also knew that the cold-blooded jailers would not grant her request, but she wanted to try anyway, because it was her only hope.

"Bang bang bang...... Nightingale banged on the solid cell door again and again with all her might, trying to get the jailer's attention with a sound so that she could make her request.

Luckily, her efforts finally alarmed the jailers. An ugly jailer with a pockmarked face came to the door with some reluctance.

"Knock knock, knock what? Can't you be honest for a while? ”

Through the thick prison door, Nightingale immediately spoke, "Brother Jailer, can you give us a little food?" Or...... Or give us a blanket. My sister was so badly injured that she couldn't hold it anymore. ”

When the jailer heard this, he laughed and said, "Want to eat?" Still want a blanket? Sensei is daydreaming! You are all death row inmates, what does your life or death have to do with me. Don't think I don't know, if I open the door, you'll rush out. The people who brought you here have told me that you are no ordinary people. You've killed dozens of Silver Guards, and I won't have the slightest sympathy for a death row prisoner like you. Stay in there for me honestly, or you'll be executed sooner!" ”

Hearing this, the nightingale gritted her teeth and said, "I remember your voice, it's best not to let me get out alive, otherwise, I will definitely cut off your head with my own hands!" ”

When the jailer heard this, he immediately laughed again: "Cut off my head? Okay, I'll wait for you. But do you think you'll have that chance? Wait, you will soon be baptized by the Flames. At that point, you'll all be dogs, dogs that I can ride under you! Haha......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't stop drooling. Baptism of the Flame? What exactly is he talking about?
