Chapter 158 Ashes (Part 2)

"The most elite warriors of the church are also top-secret weapons used against extraordinary witches," Ashes said, "They have strength and speed no less than mine, and..." She hesitated, "They don't seem to have any sense of consciousness. During the fight, I cut off the right hand of a God's Punishment Army, but he used his left hand to gouge my eyes without hesitation. Even if I turned around and ran away, his actions were not affected much. This has nothing to do with will, no matter how strong a person is Even if the fighting spirit can be maintained after the arm is broken, the balance of losing an arm cannot be adapted in a short period of time."

"I've only heard of the Church's Judgment Army," Wendy murmured, "Since they have such powerful warriors, why haven't they appeared in the previous rounds of witch hunts?"

"I don't know," Ashes said slowly, "Even the name God's Punishment Army was only found out from some people after I returned to the Old Holy City."

"You... have gone back?" Wendy asked in surprise.

"Well, how could it be possible to let those scums go so easily?" She stood up and walked to the window, "I later attacked several small churches and a Judgment Army garrison. There happened to be a presiding judge in the garrison, and I thought they were really I'm not afraid of death at all." In the face of death and painful torture, the other party behaved no better than ordinary people, showing fear and begging for mercy. "From his mouth, I learned the name God's Punishment Army. They are all judges transformed through rituals. Only the best warriors can receive this honor. Accepting the transformation must be voluntary. It seems that the success rate and will Whether they are firm or not has a great relationship. In other words, God's Punishment Army is different from witches, they are not formed naturally or because of their talents, but are artificially transformed."

"..." Wendy was so shocked by the news that she couldn't speak.

"I guess they can't use the God's Punishment Army in combat like the Judgment Army, perhaps because of the side effects of transformation. A warrior who loses his mind, in a sense, is no different from a monster." Ashes sighed, " During that time, I hid under waterways or deep wells during the day, and came out at night to attack church believers. I was forced to evacuate from the old holy city until the church launched a city-wide search. On the day I left, my clothes and skin were tightly stained with blood. Clinging together tightly, it looks hideous, and in the eyes of outsiders, it is also a beast that has lost its mind."

She felt a hand on her shoulder, "It doesn't matter now, you can live like an ordinary person here, His Royal Highness is very kind to the sisters. After experiencing the demon month and the attack of the fortress duke together, everyone Some townspeople have also accepted the existence of witches. This town is the holy mountain we were looking for."

Ashes looked at the woman who was leaning on the window sill with him, and in his impression, the children living in the monastery were all thin and thin, their eyes were gray and they couldn't see the spirit. And Wendy's current appearance is hard to imagine her childhood appearance, both in figure and appearance, are very different from the children of that period, and the natural tenderness in her voice also made her feel peaceful and tranquil.

However, she had to say something, "I won't stay here, and I didn't come here for this." She paused, "I want to take you all away, to a truly safe place. Border Town Not a place to stay."

"You don't stay here..." Wendy was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

"As long as you live on this continent, you will always be threatened by the church. Tilly has gathered most of the witches in the Kingdom of Greycastle and headed to the fjords, planning to build a kingdom of witches there."

"But isn't there a church in the Fjord?"

"Because of the special topography of the archipelago, the islands are separated, and their influence can only be maintained within a square inch. And..." Ashes raised the corners of his mouth, "There is no God's Punishment Army on the island."

It's time to show them the witch's thunderous rage. Island by island, uprooting the power of the church, just as they did the witches.

"You and your sisters must leave, Wendy," she continued to persuade. "It is a mistake to spread rumors to recruit companions. I can hear the news, and the church can hear it. They will never let a witch organization wanton Expanding the scale, I don't think it will be long before the Church's army will stride across Graycastle to destroy you. Facing the invincible God's Punishment Army, do you think the fourth prince will protect you? No secular lord would be willing to fight with you. Witches live and die together, he may treat you well now, but when the time comes, he will just abandon you without hesitation."

Wendy was silent for a while before she spoke: "I don't know what the other sisters will think, but I will not leave Border Town."

"This place is already on the edge of the cliff," Ashes frowned, "Staying for one more day will be more dangerous."

"If, in order to avoid the imminent danger, he abandons His Royal Highness and leaves the town, what is the difference between this and him abandoning us? I don't want to be such a person, and..." She took a deep breath, "I don't I think His Highness will give in to the pressure of the church as you said. Nightingale once asked him the same question, and His Highness replied: Let every witch in his territory live like a normal person, even if they are not The Church will not hesitate to be an enemy."

"..." Ashes didn't answer. She didn't know what to say for a while, she had seen too many promises back and forth, and even if the other party was willing to protect the witch to the end, what's the point? In the face of overwhelming power, it is nothing but sacrifices.

However, she has figured out the situation of the Mutual Aid Society so far. After the death of the snake demon Hakara, the remaining members of the Mutual Aid Society have basically been taken in by the lord of Border Town. Tasa, who went to Silver City to spread the news, probably did not happen to rescue the witch at all. civilians, but the lord's personal guard. Although I don't know what cunning means he used to make the witches trust him, but under the threat of his great sword, the disguise he carefully constructed must soon fall apart.

"I want to talk to your lord Roland Wimbledon," Ashes finally said in a deep voice.

...

It was the next morning that I saw His Highness the Fourth Prince.

Ashes was brought into the office by Nightingale, and she saw the disgusting man again.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he did have the same bloodline as Tilly. The long gray hair was simply tied behind the head with a headband, emitting a little silver light in the morning light, which was the symbol of the royal family of Graycastle. His eyebrows and bridge of nose were somewhat similar to Tilly's, but the more similar he was, the more he disliked her. Different from the usual appearance in the court before, his attire was extremely clean, except for a suit of well-fitting clothes, there was hardly a single accessory without earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets. He simply leaned back on the chair, but he had the feeling of looking down on himself.

The temperament of the superior.

She couldn't help but have this thought in her mind.

Well, judging from the appearance alone, you have indeed improved, Ashes said coldly in your heart, I don't know how long you can maintain this posture.

"Welcome, I heard your name is Ashes?" The other party took the initiative to ask, "You are the envoy sent by my sister, right?"

"I decided to come to Border Town by myself."

"But it's also a messenger, right?"

"..." Ashes frowned, emphasizing the meaning of the word messenger? She didn't want to get entangled in irrelevant places, "Well."

"Very good, Ashbringer," he showed an inexplicable smile, "I heard that you want to take away my witch?" , is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to read.)
