Chapter 142 Death
Al thought a lot about what he had seen and heard in London, the relationship between the royal family and the church, and the current status of the church in the Holy Sword Empire. After summarizing some bits and pieces, Al understood The purpose of Lancer and the Church to do so.
In fact, Al itself is insignificant to the church. The key point is that Al is not only a student of Solangoya, but also has a close relationship with the royal family.
In the hearts of the common people of the Holy Sword Empire, wizards are still as evil as dark creatures, or even more evil than dark creatures. The name of wizards among the common people of the Holy Sword Empire is an existence that can stop children from crying.
If Al is allowed to admit his identity as a student of Solangoya University and his relationship with the royal family in front of the common people, and then the church will come forward to expose Al's identity as a wizard, and then stand up in a posture that has influenced Al, then The church vigorously spread these news to all corners of the Holy Sword Empire, which would not only greatly increase the church's status among the common people, but also further weaken the position of Solangoya and the royal family in the hearts of the common people.
A school that shelters evil wizards, a royal family that colludes with evil wizards, as long as these two names are placed on the heads of Solangoya and the royal family, then the Church of the Lord of Glory, which stands above righteousness, will be There are many ways to win the hearts and minds of the people. In this way, although the efforts of the royal family to weaken the Church of the Lord of Glory by billions over the years are not in vain, they will definitely be set back decades.
After thinking about it, Al looked at Lancer and said with a sneer, "It turns out that your goal is not me, but Solangoia and the royal family. Think about it, too. It's just for me, a little wizard apprentice. There is absolutely no need for the Church of the Lord of Glory to do these things, even if it is because I interfered with your assassination of Artoria, the most you can do is kill me."
Hearing Al's words, Lancer shrugged, and then said: "Al, I actually knew you before those people, and you saved my life after all, so as long as you can do what we said, Then I can guarantee that you will be treated fairly, at least with the status of a bishop."
Al narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Lancer, and said in a low voice, "What if... I refuse?"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Lanser's mouth, and then he said to Cosese beside him, "Senior Cosese, let Al have a look."
When Cosese heard Lancer's words, he immediately nodded with a smirk. He snapped his fingers lightly, and several figures walked out of the room. And in front of Cosese, they were old Howard, John and others who were captured by Lancer and others!
"Father, Uncle Xiulan, Old Howard, Aunt May, Garen, Gal, Carrie, how are you guys doing? Are you injured? You... what's wrong with you?"
step forward,
Al looked at the John Seven who had no unnecessary movements, and even no unnecessary expressions on their faces, and immediately felt something was wrong, because their expressions were too calm, terrifyingly calm.
Taking another step forward, Al wanted to investigate the situation of John and the others, but just as he took a step, John and the others took a step back in unison. The steps were extremely neat, as if they were controlled by the same person. generally!
Raising his head, Al looked at Cosese, and asked in a cold voice, "Did my father and the others be manipulated by you?"
There was a hint of a smile, but because of Cosese's ferocious face, any smile on him would be incomparably ferocious.
Slowly nodding his head, Cosese said: "I am a second-level necromancer, and there is a witchcraft called 'Puppet Art' that can control various corpses, but it can also control some living creatures with low willpower. If the target is you, this witchcraft will not be successful, but if it is facing these ordinary people, there will be no problem."
After Cosese finished speaking, Lancer looked at Al with a smile again, and said, "How about Al, if you agree to my conditions, then I can let go of some people now, but if you don't agree ...then it is a pity that I have to purify these people."
Hearing Lancer's words, Al gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to agree to Lancer's conditions and exchange John and others safely, but Al knew very well that if he agreed, Then it would definitely hurt Arturia and Elise, two equally important people to him.
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Al's mouth, and unconsciously, Al bit his own mouth to bleed out.
At this time, there was a glimmer of light in Cosese's human eye, and he moved his fingers slightly, and said to Al at the same time: "It seems that you are very conflicted, then let me help you decide quickly."
As soon as the words fell, the brothers and sisters Garen, Gal, and Carrie who were standing there took out a dagger from their arms at the same time, and stabbed it into their own throats under Al's horrified gaze, without the slightest hesitation or the slightest bit. Pause, just like that, he committed suicide in front of Al!
"No! No no no! Don't! Don't!"
Shouting loudly, Al rushed directly in front of the three Garon brothers and sisters. He hugged Garen and wanted to pull out the dagger around his neck, but he didn't dare to do so. Al's palms trembled, his eye circles were red, and his head Once he had no idea, he didn't know what to do with himself.
Stretching out his hand, he closed the staring eyes of the three of Garen one by one. Al jumped up and rushed directly towards Cosese.
However, Al, who was furious, had already lost his vigilance. Before he could rush to Cosese, he was punched in the lower abdomen by John who acted suddenly, and the whole person flew backwards. , Lying on the ground and retching continuously.
Raising his head, Al looked at Aunt Mei who was still standing there. At this time, she was still expressionless, but there were tears streaming down her eyes.
His own children were killed, and he couldn't even move even if he wailed loudly. This kind of sad emotion filled Aunt Mei's eyes that seemed dull.
Al grabbed the ground with incomparable strength, even if his hands and ten fingers left bloodstains on the ground, there was no pause.
Standing up slowly, Al looked at Lancer and said expressionlessly: "Lancer, let the rest of you go, I agree to your terms."
Although he was dissatisfied with Cosese's private decision to kill Gallon and the others, but being able to force Al to make a decision, Lancer also felt that the matter just now was not completely useless.
Nodding slowly, Lancer was about to speak some comforting words to Al.
However, at this moment, Cosese moved his fingers lightly again, and among the people being manipulated, John, who had the highest willpower, suddenly broke free from Cosese's 'puppet technique'.
And the moment John broke free from the control of the 'puppet technique', he did not flee immediately, nor did he go to rescue the other people. They were all cut to the ground.
When John was the first to attack Xiulan, Al immediately rushed towards John, but Al was a step too late. When he snatched the long sword from John's hand, the rest of the people were already covered in sword marks fell in a pool of blood!
Al looked at John, tears streaming down his face, and asked angrily, "Father, why! Why did you kill them, why!"
John looked at Al with red eyes, and saw him showing a kind smile that he had never seen before, then patted Al on the shoulder, and said softly: "Before we were controlled, we had Decided, if you are embarrassed because of us, then we will find a chance to commit suicide. I broke free of control just now, so naturally I will do it for them.
Al, we will not be by your side in the future, you will lose a lot of ties, and I always want to tell you, you must try to be cold in the future, you are really too kind and naive now, so You can't survive in this world well, so you must become ruthless. "
After the words fell, John gently gave Al a hug, but then John's expression was slightly solemn, his hands slid down directly, holding the long sword that Al hid from, and piercing into his chest.
At the same time, John said to Al in a very weak voice: "Al, I have always loved you, I love you very much, so you must live a good life, you are an extension of my life and your mother's. , even if it is for us, we must live, live... go..."
As the voice fell, John knelt on his knees, his head lowered and lost his voice, and he looked more like falling asleep.
And Al let go of the long sword in his hand and knelt down on the ground, hugging John's body with his hands, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this time, Lancer realized that he reached out and grabbed the wizard robe on Koses, and shouted angrily: "Cosses, what are you doing! Why did he break free from your control? Could it be that you did it on purpose? ? Do you know that now all our plans have been disrupted, how should we get Al to submit now, how to get him to agree to our request!"
Seeing Lancer who kept yelling at him, Cosese grinned grinningly, and stretched out his hand to push away Lancer who was clutching his wizard robe.
"Lance, I told you before that controlling a first-level blood knight would have certain risks. You said before that there is no problem, and you will bear any risks. Why, if things fail, you will blame me? "
Hearing Cosese's words, Lancer was furious. He stepped forward to say something to Cosese, but at this moment, a roar came from behind Lancer, followed by waves of high temperature. Spread out.
Turning around, Lancer looked at the direction of the sound and the high temperature, and saw that Al was holding the Burning Sword, with purple light flashing on his left hand, and a stream of flames rose from the Burning Sword, converging on Al's body Zhou, against the backdrop of Al is almost like a Vulcan descending from the earth, with amazing power!
