Part Two: The Human World Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Opening
In the morning, Asa got up, washed himself, and dressed neatly in the clothes of a priest.
"I've known you for so long, and this is the first time I've seen you combing your hair and washing your face when you wake up in the morning, and actually getting dressed very seriously. What's wrong? Ronis wants to introduce you to a girlfriend?" Sandro stared at him. This old man
He has no respect for Asa, the future hero, and is still the same.
"Just let me be a hero." Asa paid attention to whether his clothes were in compliance with the rules. This was what Bishop Ronis asked of him, and he must have a hero statue.
He only knew a rough idea of Bishop Ronis's plan, and it was specifically designed and arranged by the Marquis. This hunt was just a small prelude, paving the way for the Bishop's grand plan in the future. As for the protagonist Asa, he also wanted to take advantage of this.
This is an opportunity to show off and lay a solid foundation for the future. Although Asa has never been interested in the bishop's grand plan, the matter itself is indeed quite interesting.
"Being a hero?" Sandro frowned, shook his head and said, "That's really a hard job. You must ask him for more remuneration."
"Go and talk to him when you have time. If I can get paid, I can share half of it with you." Asa took the long sword that he got with his clothes with him. He actually doesn't know how to use this thing, but he just follows his current situation.
I can no longer carry that rough-looking knife on my back on the street due to my identity. Moreover, today's matter is logically very easy, so it doesn't matter what I use.
It was estimated that the hunting party had almost started, and Asa just went out.
As soon as he came out, he suddenly noticed a few people looking here in the distance. As soon as he saw him, he turned around and ran away. Asa didn't pay attention. Judging from their appearance and actions, these people were just street hooligans.
, not worth mentioning, he mounted his horse and set off.
Asa is still walking slowly. The Marquis has warned that heroes must appear at the right time, so that they can show the momentum of turning the tide. The planned time is noon, thirty or forty miles, now walk slowly
It was much the same in the past.
More than ten miles away from the royal capital, we began to enter the deserted suburbs. A group of people suddenly appeared from the woods on both sides, rushed up with murderous intent, and surrounded Asa.
There are absolutely no bandits or robbers near the royal capital. It seems that this group of fifty or sixty people with swords are mercenaries. Asa suddenly recognized the leader from the crowd, and he also knew the person who was watching him just now.
What's going on? He shook his head and sighed: "Let me tell you, I don't have time to fool around with you now, you'd better let me go. I don't want to wrinkle my clothes."
"I also tell you, you have no chance of going back alive today." Prime Minister Modo roared. Now all the young nobles in the capital know that he was beaten and had his face smashed by this priest, and he sent people to
His revenge failed, and in the end he was deprived of the priest position that he originally coveted. He is now the target of discussions and ridicule among his companions behind his back. He has never been so cowardly in his life, and the few sanity he has has long since
He disappeared without a trace, and his father's instructions to him not to mess around were forgotten.
"I brought someone with me early in the morning to wait for you to come out. Don't think that because you are a priest, I won't dare to touch you. Do you think it's enough to have that dead old man, the bishop, to protect you? What will happen if I kill you? Here
There was no one around, who knew I was the one who killed you? You actually wanted to join the hunt to please the emperor? Tell you, stop dreaming, I already knew what you wanted to do."
"Do you really know?" Asa shook his head in confusion. "Probably not."
The angry prime minister waved his hand and said to a leader-looking man next to him: "Come here and kill this guy. I promised to give you fifty gold coins."
"How come there are only fifty?" Asa frowned. He believed that the wanted list for kidnapping the imperial envoy in Airi was worth hundreds of gold coins.
At this time, the Royal Hunting Conference was in full swing.
The young Geffenhart XVII and the distinguished guests from various countries rode on tall horses and used bows and arrows to chase the prey that had been driven out of the jungle. Without Captain Roland and those old-fashioned military ministers around, they were all able to accompany him.
Happy people, the emperor had a great time, he couldn't help but feel happy for his wise foresight. He also ejaculated hard, like all other young people of this age, trying his best to attract the attention of the princess next to him, but unfortunately the Duke
The young lady focused almost all her thoughts on chatting with her sister.
"Since sister, we have rarely seen each other since you got married. I really, too, usually focus on playing, so I should come to see you. My father must miss you too... Fortunately, today the Marquis
Let you come and join the hunt..." Chris suddenly and quietly approached her sister and said, "Tell you, that guy will come today..."
Xiaoyi, who was already dressed as a noble lady, hesitated for a moment with an uncertain expression and suddenly turned her horse's head. "Then I'll go back."
Chris quickly grabbed her. "Hey, you can't leave. Why did you leave just once when you come out? Since it was the Marquis who asked you to come out, what are you afraid of? By the way, why didn't the Marquis come?
He is a very interesting person, and he even embarrassed the Modo bastard in front of many people. That idiot was so embarrassed."
"Chris, you should have fun when you come out today, why are you talking about housework again?" The emperor finally couldn't hold himself back and said, "Look at how many things I ejaculated."
Chris took the emperor's hand and said: "Your Majesty, hurry up and give my sister an official position so that she can go out and do things openly without having to stay in that house every day and be a noble lady.
My sister is very capable."
"Oh, okay." The young emperor was shaken by the delicate hand and agreed uneasily. At the same time, he was determined to perform well today.
It would be best if some monster emerged from the woods and he could kill it, the young His Majesty suddenly thought.
It was almost noon, and deep in the forest, five gangsters were gathering together to watch the light coming from the gaps between the leaves. They all prayed in their hearts that the light would move to the top of their heads quickly.
There were several magic circles painted on the ground behind them, and the objects in the magic circles were covered with black cloth. But one of them was squirming non-stop, making waves of low roars, and exuding a fishy smell unique to beasts.
, even the birds in the woods did not dare to fly over. The gangsters did not dare to face this wriggling thing, for fear that the thing under the black cloth would suddenly break through the restraints and jump out, so they had to turn their heads and turn their backs.
In fact, this was pretty good. It was the thing in the magic circle next to it that made them feel uncomfortable. Although it was still covered with black cloth and there was no movement at all, as soon as they got close, a slight chill would run straight down their backs.
Straight up to the top of the head. After carefully carrying them all into the magic circle according to the instructions of the patron, a curious and bold person used a branch to open a little bit and saw a small part, but when his companion asked
The brave adventurer kept silent, but looked pale and shivered.
During the unbearable wait, a gangster took out a gold coin from his arms, and the other companions all took one out, holding it in their hands to carefully observe this cute little thing. This is the motivation they are waiting for here, and now it seems
It also gives them courage.
"It takes five people to transport these things. Why do we have to wait here until noon together for five people?" said a gangster. "It's really confusing for these rich people to do something..."
"Why do you care so much? Just know that you will get the money later." Another gangster scolded him, saying that this was the leader of the five people. "Anyway, as long as you complete what you are told, you will each still have three gold coins. You
If you don’t want to take it, just leave by yourself.”
After hearing these words of encouragement, everyone felt a little calmer. They looked at the gold coins in their hands and imagined that they would become four in no time. This was indeed an exciting sight.
"The time has come." A gangster looked at the sun and took stock. "It should be noon. You can go."
"Wait a minute. I have one more thing." The leader took out a handful of things from his pocket and placed it on the ground. It was a pile of very fine gray-white powder, as if it was the ashes left after burning. The leader had just put this pile
He put the thing down and picked it up curiously. Only then did he realize that the pile of powder seemed to be a whole. There seemed to be a strange attraction between the dust. As long as he grabbed one part and lifted it, the other parts would stick to it and move with it.
.
"Stop doing it. If you have something to do, finish it quickly and leave." Other companions urged.
The leader put down the dust, took out a dagger, and lightly cut his finger. A few drops of bright red blood dripped on the pile of powder. The blood immediately soaked into the pile of strange powder, turning it from gray to white.
Pink.
"That's it, let's go." The leader stood up and asked his companions to leave.
Suddenly the pile of powder on the ground started to move, and it jumped like a very hungry flea and attached itself to the leader's still bleeding finger. At the same time, everyone heard something similar to someone drinking.
That sizzling sound it makes when soup is cooked.
The leader screamed in horror. He could feel the blood in his body flowing rapidly in a very different way than usual. He shook his hand violently, but the pile of powder remained motionless as if it was nailed to his hand, and its color became increasingly darker.
It was getting deeper. He quickly used his other hand to pull the strange thing, but the other hand immediately sank in. Several other gangsters looked at the leader's actions in stunned silence.
The leader screamed hysterically and kept shaking his arms, using all his strength. He even staggered his steps and rushed everywhere. He rushed into the magic circle that he was so afraid of just now and trampled the talismans on the ground.
Wen, even those black cloths were pulled down.
The things under the black cloth were revealed. They were a dozen skeletons wearing already tattered armor and holding swords, a few zombies with gray-black bodies like bacon, and two floating in the air, like
The ghosts were as hazy as the mist but the half-skeleton outlines were clearly visible. The magic circle that bound them had lost its effect, and these undead monsters started to move.
The skeleton raised the sword in his hand and slashed at the leader who was already rolling on the ground. Although these weapons were almost rusty and rotten, they still cut into the leader's body. However, the leader did not react at all, as if it was no longer his own body.
He was still writhing and screaming with his hands raised, but he was so weak that he was twisting like a dying caterpillar. White bones and slightly red muscles were exposed in his wounds, and no blood flowed out. And the wound on his hand was
The pile of strange things had turned red and black, and began to roiling and undulating like a boil.
Seeing such a scene, several other gangsters let out the same shrill screams as the leader and ran away. The two ghosts quickly chased after them and grabbed their throats with their invisible hands, and they immediately fell silent.
He fell silently to the ground, his hands and feet twitching like a frog for a while and then stopped moving.
The cloud of dust jumped away from the leader's already pale and skinny corpse, and jumped onto the other corpses, continuing to make that sucking sizzling sound.
When all five corpses became as dry and pale as cloth bags, the cloud of dust began to grow, deformed, and suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke with a bang, and then the smoke gradually gathered and condensed into a
human form.
The skeleton warriors, zombies and ghosts all looked at the smoky figure without moving at all. The three-headed dog that had been struggling in the magic circle also became quiet and let out a flinching whimper.
