Hearing the news that the enemy commander was captured on the front line, no one on the scene reacted, even Bai Huo's tone was lazy: "A prisoner again?"
Y'zaks folded his arms and chuckled: "Heh, it's probably no different from the ones I caught before."
The capture of the cult's witcher has been very indifferent, and there's a reason for this reaction.
In the beginning, La Nina took a lot of effort to capture a master demon hunter of the sect alive. At that time, everyone was looking forward to the captured captive, hoping to get some valuable information from the other party— But this enthusiasm faded very quickly, because they found that the demon hunters of the sect captured from the battlefield were in a strange state and couldn't ask any meaningful questions at all.
The demon hunter warrior who came to report obviously knew this too, and the expression on his face was a little subtle, but he still emphasized: "This time, he captured a high-ranking commander. Master Fanny thinks it is necessary to let him The elders and several leaders personally intervened."
Bai Huo frowned, while Elder Gregory nodded lightly: "Then bring it up and see which 'old friend' it is."
The messenger led the order to retreat, and after a while, a tall and thin male prisoner was escorted up by several elf magisters.
This tall and thin male demon hunter was wearing the iconic battle robe of the Presbyterian Order, which had been tattered in the battle, but his face was resolute and masculine, with sharp edges and corners full of anger, and dark brown hair. The curly hair was stuck to his forehead in strands of blood and sweat, making him look a little more embarrassed. And on this prisoner, there are circles of elf runes wrapped around them. These runes continuously extract the energy of the subject to strengthen the shackles, but even under the restraint of this level of spells, the tall and thin The man still didn't show any sign of apathy, and even kept looking at the people around him with full hostility.
This soldier of the sect is obviously very powerful, which can be seen from the guards around him: the elven magister is a super-high-level unit under Izaks, and he belongs to the kind that throws it as a treasure. , After the war, I can't wait to throw it in the refrigerator and freeze it to prevent the bumps from bumping into the baby. But this time, three magisters came to guard a prisoner. This treatment can be described as extraordinary.
Bai Huo was stunned for a moment after seeing the tall and thin man, and then whispered in surprise: "Claude?"
"Do you know this person?" Hao Ren asked in a low voice.
Bai Huo nodded slightly, with a low tone: "Claude is at the same age as me. You know that I am called the top genius among the younger generation of witchers, right?"
When she spoke the second half of the sentence, she didn't have the slightest look of pride on her face, she was just stating the facts plainly. As a leader among her peers, she didn't regard her talent as the capital of her pride, but she didn't shy away from others Mention your own excellence in front of you.
Hao Ren nodded. Bai Huo continued: "Actually, in our generation, there should be two geniuses, and the other is him. Claude is older than me, and his comprehension and affinity for runes is better than any ordinary genius." Demon hunters are strong. Later, I left the Ice Fortress with my mentor, and Claude took over his father's position and joined the Presbyterian Order. Since the order belongs to a hermit group, Claude almost never acts outside , The heterogeneous family probably didn't know there was such a No. 1 person. He was originally a very peaceful guy. I didn't expect... to see you again under such circumstances."
The demon hunter known as Claude immediately turned his head when he heard White Fire's voice, with full resentment and hostility on his face: "White Fire! I should have known earlier, you are just a heretic!"
"Claude, you..." Bai Huo frowned, "Do you really know what you are doing? How did the Presbyterian Church become like this?"
"The mission of the Presbyterian Church is to purify heresies!" Claude said righteously. His eyes were scorching, just like those demon hunters from the sect captured before. There was no confusion in his eyes, nor any signs of being affected by his mind, but his words and deeds were extremely extreme and unreasonable. The guys who are active outside... all of them are filthy and should be purified!"
"Since when have people other than the Presbyterian Order become heretics?" Elder Gregory asked calmly, his voice sounded unusually calm. "What the hell are you trying to do?"
Facing an elder's inquiry, Claude's attitude remained unchanged. Moreover, his answer was just a few sentences over and over again, nothing more than words like "heresy", "purification", and "monster". However, no matter what, his sanity is always clear, and his words and deeds seem to come from his heart, just like his worldview since he was a child.
In fact, the same happened to the other captured cult hunters.
This is why everyone seemed so indifferent when they heard that the commander of the sect was captured alive. The reason was not that the other party was too tight-lipped or lost his mind and could not communicate, but because of their strange state: these demon hunters of the sect All of their thoughts are left with only two things: purifying heresies and killing aliens. They are very sober, sober to the point where they know nothing about other than these two things. The data terminal also used technical means to check the mental state of the captives captured before, but finally confirmed that their minds were normal-how can you "sleep" a group of people who have not lost their minds
After asking a few questions, Elder Gregory shook his head in disappointment, saying that the one he caught this time was no different from the previous ones, and Vivienne stepped forward with the mentality of giving it a last try. She looked at the Claude's eyes: "Do you know who I am?"
After hearing Vivienne's voice, Claude was a little confused for a while, then he stared at the latter for a moment, and suddenly made a move that surprised everyone: the demon hunter who seemed calm and rational just now He became furious, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he saw the murder of his father and enemy, he yelled and rushed towards Vivienne: "Heretic! Heretic! Kill her! Kill her!!"
Claude's sudden outburst surprised everyone, and even Vivienne almost didn't realize it. Thanks to Hao Ren, who had been guarding against this strange cult hunter since just now, he stood between the two of them immediately. And took advantage of the momentum and kicked the opponent back. The three elf magisters beside Claude also instantly activated the sanction runes, and those rune chains erupted with crackling lightning, suppressing him to the ground and making him unable to move.
However, even in this situation, Claude still yelled at Vivienne furiously: "Kill you! Kill you! Kill you! Kill you!!"
This demon hunter of the sect looked crazy at the moment, his eyes were so red that he was about to bleed, and his face was full of bruised veins, he looked terrified. Lily next to her saw the situation and immediately turned her head to ask Bai Huo: "How was your relationship before?"
Bai Huo was stunned: "It's just acquaintance, because we are not in the same battle group, so we don't have much contact with each other, why are you asking this..."
"Oh, that's good," Lily nodded fiercely before Bai Huo finished speaking, and then picked up a brick from nowhere, and smashed it towards Claude's head with a round circle, "It's easier for me to start now." no pressure!"
With a loud bang, Claude was knocked unconscious by Lily without saying a word.
After this inexplicable guy passed out, everyone was relieved. Vivian patted his chest: "Did I provoke him?"
"Strictly speaking, you have provoked all the demon hunters. After all, you have beaten the ancestors of most people present, but I think it's not the reason," Hao Ren rubbed his chin and looked at Claude With a thoughtful look on his face, "I'm afraid... the reason for the drastic change in the temperament of the entire Presbyterian Church has something to do with you."
"Me?" Vivienne pointed at herself, "Didn't you catch demon hunters from other sects before? They didn't react so much when I stood in front of them, right?"
Hao Ren was puzzled, and he looked at Gregorwen: "Elder, do you know how this Claude is different from others?"
Elder Gregory had already guessed that Hao Ren was going to ask this question, and his expression was serious: "He is the attendant and herald of the First Saint."
"The number one saint? The saint who has lived in the house for thousands of years without knowing whether he is alive or dead?" Hao Ren opened his eyes wide. "Is he really still alive?"
"There are always various rumors," Elder Gregory spread his hands helplessly, "but we never thought that any saint would leave us. The first saint has indeed not shown up for many years, But he still gives us instructions from time to time—through his heralds."
"That is to say, this Claude knows the real situation of the number one saint," Yizaks, who had been silent all this time, suddenly broke the silence with a deep voice. He looked solemnly at the young demon hunter who was unconscious on the ground, Nodding to the three elf magisters, "Take him back and keep him under strict supervision. Once he reveals any information, come and report as soon as possible." (To be continued~^~)
