An hour and a half before dawn, Ye Qi sat on Groning's back, suspended in the air, and Groening, who had hidden the flames all over his body, was like a black elf under Ye Qi's comfort, quietly bathing in the haze. In the moonlight, there is no sound; below, as far as the eye can see, the black-clothed deacons belonging to the Holy See Inquisition are busy—
The corpses hanging on the cross or the seriously injured and frequently dead were gathered together, and the firewood began to pile up below, and the flames engulfed these local residents with billowing black smoke. There was no wailing, only the flesh and fat of the bodies under the flames Groans or almost inaudible curses when the bones are deformed - for each corpse or the seriously injured and frequently killed, this is already the maximum expression of one's dissatisfaction and resentment.
The smoke and dust wrapped in a strong smell, leisurely went straight up, making the hazy moonlight completely gray; Ye Qi sat on Groning's back, looking down at the three super-large fire racks set up, he He lowered his head slightly, his eyes wide open - after learning that the forest-free area lost contact, he understood what would happen to the residents there. After all, for the people of the Holy See, especially those who came from the Inquisition Generally speaking, there are only two kinds of people in my eyes, believers and heretics; the former needs to be punished piously in the corresponding rules, while the latter must be eliminated by various cruel means.
There is no so-called benevolence or mercy. For heretics, there is no need to blame themselves for any means. It is the right given by the "God"-after tearing off the mask of hypocrisy, human beings are more terrifying than any existence, especially They will have no scruples after they have another name of 'directly pointing to the heart'.
Just like now, the number of corpses piled up on the three giant stakes or the number of seriously injured and frequently dead exceeds 500—almost more than half of the population in the forest-free area; In the forest area and the small area of the holy forest area, there is only one town: Machinery Town; therefore, if it is serious, it is surrounded by three large areas. It is connected to every place and belongs to a transportation hub-like location.
The reason why it is a transportation hub, not a fortress, is because of the compromise of the three largest forces in Lorant—in fact, about six hundred years ago, after the end of the Dark Ages, there used to be a Castle: Fort Tikka; but over time. With the fall of kingship and the rise of theocracy, Fort Tika has already moved away from here, and is located 300 kilometers south of its original location.
Then, with the emergence of the supreme government, this Fort Tikka, which is still nominally a forest-free area. It is also included in the Xialin area; that is to say, the wide forest-free area overlooking the three major regions is a place without danger. In fact, even if there is a castle fortress in the forest-free area, They can't hold it either; most of the people living in the forest-free area are people who like machinery or have fanatical ideas about mechanical transformation, and they hate war. He hates fighting, and basically doesn't like the three major forces, especially the Holy See.
After all, in the era controlled by ignorance, not only witches, dark wizards, and dark creatures were burned to death on the stake set up by the Holy See, but some were interested in machinery, and were even pioneers of machinery. He was also sent to the stake as a heretic.
However, today is just a repeat, and there is no difference from more than three hundred years ago. Of course, if there is a difference, then half of the people escaped—because of their own sensitivity to machinery. and nurture. The engineers in the machinery town in the forest-free area are very popular with the highest government. With high salaries, many people will be happy to go there; even in Shaker, there are people from the machinery town.
certainly. The reason is that the master of Mechanic Town, Dickas Colt, was there—exploring and learning, the people of Mechanic Town always have such good habits; They escaped their lives in the war, but they don't know what their expressions will be when they learn that their hometown has been destroyed, and their relatives and friends have been killed...
"Groning, do you know? My teacher once told me that there is nothing wrong with being ordinary; I receive a subsistence salary for a month, and brag and drink with my friends in bars on weekends, generally speaking, it is very pleasant!"
Ye Qi patted Groening's neck, raised his head and looked at the increasingly hazy moon amidst the thick smoke, and spoke in a voice that was like a memory.
"However, when I opened my eyes in this world, the hideous scene told me that if I want to die, I should go ordinary! Before I knew it, I would leave forever when I closed my eyes. It's the price of being ordinary, and it's up to you to decide; so, I hope to become stronger, at least to be able to control my own life and death, and at worst, I can also run away in times of danger, or run faster than others!"
"Actually, I have been a very timid person since I was a child. I remember once, when I went to smash the windows of other people's houses, my legs trembled before I started, and my palms were sweaty. What’s more, I was frightened and said clearly, and then the teacher scolded me, and I was beaten again when I got home; to be honest, the belt whipped me so badly!”
Groning twisted his neck, his big black eyes were full of doubts—although he had good wisdom, Groning obviously couldn't understand what his master said at this moment; after all, in his heart, Anyone who dares to whip it with a belt other than its own master will be burned to ashes.
Looking at the incomprehensible eyes of his mount, Ye Qi smiled slightly, touched the strand of mane on the other's forehead, did not stop, and continued: "But after the beating, I don't have anything in my heart." Other awkward ideas - yes, I smashed someone's glass, and then I was scolded and beaten again; this is a fairly fair exchange of equivalents, nothing bad, at most I was nervous in the early stage, It’s just that we didn’t take more initiative; and afterwards, when we met each other, we still had smiles on our faces, although it’s extremely hypocritical, but at least we’re all alive!”
"It's not like them, even if they die, they can't rest in peace!"
Ye Qi pointed out that it was not far from the burning frame. An altar that has been built is slowly lighting up - this is a magic circle based on the magic [purification of evil], and according to the Holy See, it is naturally a magic altar; its main function is to Decompose negative energy, and the most basic structure of the soul is negative energy.
"Their death is a sacrifice. There must be a harvest; they are no longer able to enforce this right, and I think we should help them; what do you think, Groening?"
Ye Qi looked at the night sky above his head again, his expression was cold, but there was a burning heat in his heart, burning like a fire—as a demon hunter. It's not that Ye Qi has never seen life and death, and even the people and dark creatures he slaughtered are rare; but it is the first time to face the scene of civilians being slaughtered.
However, the first time is often such a shock.
As a fairly qualified, and sometimes can even be called an excellent demon hunter. Ye Qi couldn't imagine how to kill unarmed and weak civilians - even a misunderstood demon hunter can run and laugh after facing the rotten tomatoes thrown over him, and he doesn't care about such behavior at all, unless It is some malicious existence; and the machine town in the forest-free area, to put it harshly, may be because of the research of various machines. They will become indifferent, rigid, and everything speaks with data, but they are completely harmless people.
Ye Qi could even imagine that when facing the army of the Holy See, these people in the non-forested area must continue to study without hearing anything outside the window. It wasn't until the other party broke in that they didn't react, they just questioned the other party; then, the last moment of their lives came—
'Has the ability to be armed like a lion. Then you must act like a lion, otherwise, you will still be killed as a sheep! '
Back then, Master Dicky Skelter, when he was instructing him to transform his firearms, a word he said occasionally suddenly surfaced in Ye Qi's heart, and then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly - whether it was a feeling or indifference A smile appeared on his face, and two flames appeared out of thin air, circling around Ye Qi's raised palm, and after just one breath, a fireball with a diameter of one foot appeared out of thin air on Ye Qi's palm. , rotating at a high speed, and the fireball became bigger and bigger.
"Oh, Groening, are you going to join in too?"
Looking at the different [Fireball Technique] from the past, Ye Qi glanced at the triumphant mount in front of him, and then dropped the fireball in his hand.
Ye Qi sat on Groening's back, floating in the air at a height of about a hundred yards. The fireball that came out of his hand was more than one foot in diameter at first, less than two feet in diameter, but as it passed by At a distance of about 100 yards, the diameter of the fireball had reached 30 feet. The heat wave roiled, and the night sky suddenly brightened. The oppressive feeling like the sun falling made the black-clothed deacons below scream loudly.
In fact, when the fireball flew out of Ye Qi's hand and fell to a diameter of five feet, the black-clothed deacon below had already noticed it, and after that, the brilliance of divine magic blocked the way of the fireball. However, no matter what kind of magic it is, it is useless in front of this fireball, and it can't even do a little blocking effect; at most, it is the moonlight that radiates to make the night sky brighter.
Under the scorching pressure, the black-clothed deacons gave up their original attack and began to flee in all directions—they obviously understood that they were just trying to stop the traffic with their arms; for their own escape, every black-clothed deacon They didn't feel shy, because in "Speaking of God", their "God" once told them to face greater dangers, and only by being prepared can they overcome them.
They are going to prepare now, so how can they be said to be running away
However, apparently, they underestimated the power of this huge fireball—
boom!
As the ground trembled within a radius of ten kilometers, a huge fireball hit the ground directly, and waves of flames rose up and rushed to the surroundings. The flames swallowed it; and in the farther place, the scorching high temperature distorted the space. The original flowers, plants and trees turned yellow, dried up, and twisted in the high temperature, and then spontaneously ignited without fire with a 'hoo'.
Flames are burning on the trees one after another, making the trees seem to become large torches one by one, illuminating the surrounding earth, and reflecting the dark night sky—the hazy moonlight in the sky, the ground In the raging fire that was burning on the ground, in the intertwined gray, white and red, one person and one horse clearly appeared.
The muscles are distinct and strong. The black mane flutters down, and the snort from time to time makes the whole body tremble, as if seeing a fierce beast galloping among the mountains; but on the back of such an existence, there is a figure sitting upright; the black windbreaker, In the upturned heat wave, hunting sounds. A piercing chill emanated from the blurred faces, making the black-clothed deacons who were disturbed by the explosion tremble subconsciously.
"Sinner, you know..."
A priest with a knife shouted to Ye Qi, but he didn't finish. Groening was just a snort; then, the fire that was still burning on the ground seemed to come alive and swallowed the priest with the knife; not only the priest with the knife, but the rest of the people who belonged to the Holy See entered In the rhythm of being chased by Agni, the winner is naturally Agni.
There were screams and wailing in my ears. It didn't make Ye Qi feel any strange. Instead, he looked at his mount with a little surprise, as if he was getting to know his mount for the first time. Facing the gaze of his master, Groening looked at it with a high degree of aloofness. Raising the horse's head, the complacent look was beyond words.
The ability to control the flame is very strong, and the ability to gather the flame is even stronger!
Ye Qi appraised his mount very impressively—it was different from [Yang Yan] after it was triggered. The fire of the sun is domineering, but the flames in front of him have unimaginable devouring power, especially with the support of flesh and blood, it is almost like a spark that can start a prairie fire, and it is out of control.
The nightmare born from the battlefield, does its ability also apply to the battlefield
Think of such a question. Ye Qi subconsciously patted his mount's neck, and this kind of intimate behavior made Gronny even more proud, and it danced with all four hooves. He rushed to the low altitude, and then made an obvious inhalation movement, and immediately the flames below stopped, as if time had stopped, frozen, and remained motionless.
call!
When the inhalation movement was completed and the exhalation movement started, the original flame seemed to be doused with gasoline, and it sprang up more than ten feet, and the speed of chasing the remaining members of the Holy See was also several times faster; As for power? Before, the clergy of the Holy See could utter a scream and wail to express the loss of their lives, but now they are silent.
In the scorching flames, everything in the world was reduced to ashes, whether it was happiness, sorrow, or unwillingness to hate, all turned into dust, and the soul—Ye Qi's [Blind Fighting Perception], Those fluctuations with the aura of holy light disappeared completely without any remnants, just like what these people did before, Ye Qi completely returned them to them.
Turning off his horse, Ye Qi walked towards the three fire racks that had already been extinguished, and surrounded the city in a big circle. Without being burned by any external flames, Ye Qi directly gave way to a path— Groening may not be able to understand his master's deepest feelings, but he is clear about what his master wants to do. At the very least, he knows that the corpses here are not suitable for 'fuel', even if these 'fuel' are in the grid. Ronin does not appear to be any different from other 'fuels' at all.
Clang!
When Yan Modao was unsheathed, it seemed like a thunderbolt flashed by. Even surrounded by the flames, it was so bright that it was too bright to look directly at; turning the wrist, the sword rushed down, and the blade of Yan Modao sank straight into the ground In the mud—hum, amidst the buzzing caused by the countless vibrations of the blade, the mud on the ground flew up as the blade was pulled out, and a deep pit just enough to submerge many corpses appeared there.
clatter...
The soil fell from mid-air, mixed with some gravel, and fell straight into the deep pit, submerging the corpses that should not have existed.
There is no tombstone, only a huge grave raised there. After Ye Qi stood there silently for a few seconds, he had to reach into his inner pocket and take out the unbearable 'Wizard's Crown' When it came out, the blood-colored crystal was held tightly by Ye Qi as soon as it appeared.
"Some things can be eaten, and some things can't be eaten! However, there will be countless edible things in front of you soon..."
Feeling the restlessness of the 'Wizard's Crown' subside, Ye Qi couldn't help turning around and walking towards the flame-breathing Groening—the corpse scorched by the flames of chaos could not attract the attention of the 'Wizard's Crown', and neither could the transformed body. It aroused the favor of the 'Wizard's Crown', and among those civilians who died innocently, although there were still many blood left, but compared to the former two, even if the latter aroused the desire for the 'Wizard's Crown', Ye Qi will not allow it.
Not hypocrisy, just the bottom line.
Fortunately, since he decided to do this, corpses with blood will appear one after another.
"Dream, nightmare!"
In front of Groening was an ascetic monk. His white linen robe was already in tatters, with scorched marks all over his body. His face was full of despair—it was exactly the same as the expression on the faces of those heretics when he ordered the massacre, but at that time, his heart was full of sacredness and pleasure, but now he was full of fear.
Especially when seeing the 'horse' on the opposite side, with thick playful eyes flashing in the smart eyes, this kind of panic reached a limit-death, sometimes it is not terrible; what is terrible is the cat playing with a mouse Death; death is a relief after suffering.
And there are many ways to torture people, and there are countless kinds of tortures. However, only the creatures targeted by nightmares in legends can understand what despair is—the endless nightmares, like endless The torture at the end, there is no death, but life is worse than death.
The ascetic monk obviously thought of this, and he absolutely didn't want to face such a scene—because, according to the legend, after being hunted by the nightmare, he didn't even have the chance to go to the Kingdom of God, and could only struggle in the purgatory constructed by the nightmare , until the moment that nightmare died.
However, such moments are basically endless—because no one has ever known the lifespan of Nightmare.
The evil spirits of the battlefield, as long as there is war, they are immortal.
Groening looked at the despair of the "fuel" in front of him and tasted the fear of the other party. It was extremely comfortable. If it hadn't sensed that its master was thinking of coming by itself, it might have tasted this taste comfortably, but Now that the master has come, even though he is reluctant to give up, the game should be over.
With Groening's mind moving, the flames burning on the opponent's body immediately became several times more violent, and the holy flame that seemed to be able to compete with the flames before was swallowed up in an instant.
"etc!"
After Ye Qi's voice came out, Groning was stunned, and looked at his master in puzzlement—although he was puzzled, but the action did not continue, and the flame rose into the air and penetrated into Groning's two nostrils , just like the other flames around.
"Sinner, you..."
The ascetic monk who escaped from the dead was a little dazed, and then he instinctively pointed at Ye Qi and shouted loudly; however, the declaration ended with a flash of a knife, and amidst the blood splatter, the 'Wizard's Crown' jumped up, cheerfully Let's drink freely; the cheerful rhythm even caused ripples on the entire crystal.
"That's not something to eat!
Standing in front of the 'Wizard's Crown', watching his mount open its mouth to bite the 'Wizard's Crown', Ye Qi patted the opponent's forehead, and Groening immediately looked at his master with aggrieved—for For Groning, you can only know if you can eat it or not; it is too bad to be beaten before it is eaten like this; in the past, at least it would not be beaten until it finished eating.
"It's not the rug, the table, the sofa, the drinking glass that you used to bite and spit out... If you eat it, you will definitely have indigestion!"
Ye Qi patted his mount again, with a hint of helplessness in his tone—this was not a threat, but a fact; although Groening had the blood of Nightmare, it was just a trace, not the real Nightmare. This kind of existence without a body has flesh and blood; and for the "Wizard Crown" who has been engraved with the "Blood Transformation Rune" at this moment, except for him, all flesh and blood existences are like natural enemies.
Of course, it must be in contact with the opponent's blood, otherwise, it is just a blood-colored crystal.
