Night fell early, the cold wind was blowing, and large tracts of snowflakes were flying all over the sky. ∷, those corpses abandoned in the mountains and forests will eventually be covered, while the living will continue.
Arthur woke up slowly and turned around. He saw the dark roof and the burning fireplace. There was a very strange fragrance permeating the cabin, much like a woman's perfume, but he didn't see any perfume bottle, let alone a woman.
He propped up his body with his hands. He wanted to get up from his simple little bed, but he fell down again before he could finish getting up. His head was dizzy, as if he was drunk, he was top-heavy, his reactions were slow, and he had double vision when seeing things.
He shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up, but he couldn't wake up, and the feeling of drowsiness became more and more intense. But even in such a bad state, he still recalled what happened. He received a communication from Giovanna, and then led people to capture Xia Lei. Then he encountered an ambush by Xia Lei's men in the forest, and everyone except him died.
"Damn it, that guy has been deceiving me from the beginning! He is dead!" A wave of hatred emerged in his heart, and then he shook his head vigorously. But he found that his brain began to lose control, and the images he had just recalled became blurred. Some inexplicable images appeared in his brain again. He saw Jesus crucified on the cross. , and then saw the Apocalypse Knight riding a red horse...
Whoosh! The sound of a horse panting suddenly came from outside the door.
The door of the cabin suddenly opened, and a bright light shone in from the doorway. Accompanied by the clash of cold weapons and the roar of soldiers. It gives the impression that there is a battlefield behind the bright light, and people are fighting in that battlefield.
"Guard the faith and help the suffering!" someone said.
Arthur chanted subconsciously: "Guard the faith and aid the suffering!" He wanted to raise his hand and make a cross, but unfortunately his body did not have any strength and could not even do such a simple action as raising his hand.
The sound of someone speaking again came from the glare of the burning eyes.
"Look! That's the knight riding the red horse!"
"He is like a flame in the wind!"
"He entered the holy city of Jerusalem!"
"Who is he chasing? I can't see!"
"His armor fell off!"
The voices speaking in Italian seemed very messy and nervous.
Arthur wanted to get up and take a look, but he simply couldn't do it. Just then, a man walked out of the bright light. He was tall, almost two and a half meters tall. He held a big sword in his hand. The sword was at least as tall as a person and was like a tree. He was wearing a very strange robe, as if it was sewn from a whole sheet, and it looked very big.
The person who walked out of the front light gave people the strongest feeling that he was big, with a big sword and big clothes. He was so big that it was beyond imagination, so big that people felt that he was the legendary Titan.
The giant holding the big sword seemed to want to enter the hut, but the door of the hut was too small. He could not get in unless he removed the door.
Arthur stared at the giant at the door in stunned silence. He vaguely saw a red thing behind the giant. He thought it was a horse, and he thought it was a ball of flame. In fact, this did not prevent him from connecting the giant in front of him with the Horseman of the Apocalypse who rides a red horse, symbolizing war and destruction, among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, because the voices he just heard talking in Italian, and his The huge sword and the red horse behind him.
Seeing the Knight of the Apocalypse is undoubtedly a miracle for a Catholic.
Arthur struggled to get up from his bed again, and then bowed down to the knight of the apocalypse on the red horse. However, even in front of the Apocalypse Knight, he still didn't have any strength.
"You sinner!" The knight of the Apocalypse on the red horse suddenly spoke, in standard Italian, and his voice was surprisingly loud, "The devil destroyed your kingdom, I fought for you, I lost my armor, I can’t return to the Temple of Heaven. It’s been almost a thousand years, when will you return my armor to me? I have lost my patience!”
"God!" Arthur exclaimed in admiration, "I am your devout believer, and I am your most loyal slave. We have been looking for your armor, and there is only the last piece left."
"Where did you put my armor?" The voice of the Apocalypse Knight riding the red horse was majestic.
"Island of Malta, Holy Palace."
"How can I get my armor back?"
"Angelio's Eyes and Key."
"Why is my armor missing the last piece?"
Arthur said excitedly: "We have been looking for fragments of the armor. Over the past long years, we have found fragments of the armor one after another. We pieced it together, and now we are just missing the last piece. He is in a In the hands of the Chinese, that is a despicable heretic! He killed our knight and destroyed the agreement between us. God, if you can help me catch him, I can get the last piece, I The complete armor will be returned!"
"Do you want to kill him?"
"Yes, I'm going to kill him."
"I will catch him, I will kill him with my own hands and destroy his country. But now you want to tell me, where is your Holy Palace on the island of Malta?"
"My God! It is in the Cross Mountain near the sea, and the Holy Palace is in that mountain. The Holy Palace built by our ancestors is used to store your armor and supplies for the restoration of the country."
The Knights Hospitaller once established a country on the island of Malta and was later defeated by Turkey, but before that, the island of Malta was indeed the territory of the Knights Hospitaller. It would actually be very easy for the Knights Hospitallers to build some secret building on the island of Malta. In fact, to this day, the island of Malta still retains many traces of the rule of the Knights Hospitallers, and almost all of those places have become tourist attractions on the island of Malta.
"How many people did you send to protect the Holy Palace and my armor?"
"Ten squads of knights, a hundred knights, and ten paladins. They are all the most powerful warriors and the most loyal servants of God. My God, if you come in front of them, they will worship you. And. If the enemy invades, they will crush the enemy's body."
The Apocalypse Knight riding the red horse was silent for a moment, and then said: "You are very loyal, my slave. As a reward, I have opened the way to the Kingdom of Heaven for you. Go to the Kingdom of Heaven, my slave."
"My God, I haven't gotten the last piece of armor for you, and I can't go to heaven yet. Let me get the last piece for you and then let me go to heaven."
"No, I'll get it myself. I've opened the way to heaven for you, get on your way."
“My God, where is the way and how can I get up there?”
The Apocalypse Knight riding the red horse suddenly pulled out a pistol and pointed the gun at Arthur's head.
"My God, do you also use guns?" Arthur looked surprised.
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a gunshot from the pistol, and a bullet hit his head squarely.
This is the way to heaven. It's easy to get up there, all you need to know is one.
The blinding glare disappeared.
The giant standing at the door of the cabin suddenly became shorter. If Arthur was still alive, he would definitely be able to see that the Apocalypse Knight on the red horse he worshiped was actually Xia Lei standing on a bench. And the red horses behind him were not red horses, but wooden frames made in the shape of horses, covered with a layer of red cloth.
Such a clumsy performance is not easy to deceive even a child, but it is no problem to deceive a delirious fanatical believer.
"He's dead." Tsukino Kyoko walked out from behind the wall of the cabin. Behind her are Yelena, Angumihan, Sayim, Erdemutu and Arecio. The conversation-like sounds of the Crusaders just now came from their mouths.
"I don't want to kill him, but he must die." Xia Lei said.
Arthur is the only person who knows that the Zodiac Team killed the thirty elite Hospital Knights. His survival is a huge hidden danger.
"What to do next?" Elena's voice.
Xia Lei said: "You get rid of his body, and I'll go to the cabin by the lake."
"Boss." Erdemutu said worriedly: "Although you helped those four women solve the problem, they are still members of the Knights Hospitallers and are also fanatical believers. There is no guarantee that they will not betray you again for their beliefs. . It would actually be very dangerous for you to go there now."
Xia Lei smiled, "I have thought about this a long time ago, and I will not be naive enough to believe that they are already my knights."
"Then why do you want to go back?" Tsukino Kyoko asked.
Xia Lei said: "I have to go back. There must be an explanation for Arthur's death. I can't let them suspect that I did it. In a sense, you are dead, so now you can't show up with me. "
"But if you go back alone, what if those mercenaries and armed personnel want to deal with you?" Saimu said.
Xia Lei said: "You don't have to worry about this at all. Arthur is dead, and almost all the Knights Hospitallers are dead. The remaining four women and several armed personnel of the Knights Hospitallers cannot threaten me at all." . I am the sponsor of the money, and those mercenaries and armed men are more willing to listen to me than to those four women."
"Then what?" Tsukino Kyoko asked.
"I will retreat with the four women. Don't show your face for the time being." Xia Lei looked at Elena, "From now on, you are no longer my secretary. You have to walk from the sun into the darkness. Until I finish what I have to do.”
Elena nodded.
"Let's meet in China." Xia Lei said as he left the cabin.
The six members of the Zodiac Team watched Xia Lei gradually walk away in the snow.
"What do you think the boss wants to do?" Arecio broke the silence.
"I know you want to say that he wants to pick up four women." Yelena curled her lips, "Many people think that the boss is a lustful person, but I know that is not true. The boss has never touched that Four women, all he did was to maintain a cooperative relationship with the Knights Hospitaller, and he also wanted to use the Knights Hospitaller to deal with the FA organization."
"Okay, don't guess what the boss is thinking. He is the smartest person I have ever met. If his mind is so easy to guess, then he is not our boss. What we have to do is very simple. Dispose of the body and then return to China." Erdemutu clapped his hands and said, "You have worked, you have worked, who will carry the corpse out?"
The other five people looked at the Erdemutu together.
Erdemutu was stunned on the spot. "Isn't it right? Did you discuss this in advance?"
No one paid any attention to him.
