Summoning the Holy Sword

With the last rays of sunlight disappearing below the horizon, deep darkness enveloped the entire village.

At this time in the past, the villagers would end their day's labor, come to the tavern to relax, chat and talk to pass the time under the stimulation of fine wine and food, and then drunk and drunk returned to their homes and threw them into bed. Get ready for the next day after falling asleep.

It is a pity that today they have no time to enjoy. Not to mention that the tavern has been occupied by the group of "evil, hateful and horrible" mercenaries. There is no way to enjoy the joyful time. And in the evening, they also received a mercenary sent by the nasty man. Because of the relationship with the undead, no one is allowed to go out. Once someone violates the ban, they will be happy to see the other party as an undead sacrifice. Product.

So the villagers had to curse the **** mercenaries in their backs and stay at home obediently. Although there were many bold people who thought of trying to challenge the ban, the guy who was moaning in bed gave them a pretty A clear reminder—If you don't want to encounter the same end, it's better to be obedient.

At this moment, the members of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment had gathered in the small square in the village. They dispersed and stood in a circle. They were shaped outside the circle by five or six fire piles, which illuminated some dim space. Celia stood quietly in the center, holding the hilt with both hands, closing her eyes and rest, while the others gathered carefully, watching the situation all the time. Although undead creatures are a big trouble for mercenaries, these people are also used to this kind of life when they follow Rod. What's more, there are angels around them now, which can give everyone a lot of confidence.

"Devil believer?"

Marinen's eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of doubt.

"I didn't expect it to happen in such a small village, which is really strange."

"Is that strange?"

"Yes, I've seen churches deal with scenes of devil believers a few times while at the Academy of Magic, but in theory they should generally hide in big cities because there are so many people there, it's easy to hide, and it's easy to cause Greater threats and damage. For the devil, chaos, death, and destruction are what they want to see most. Like a small village, frankly, it is all a fire, and the devil will not be very happy. . "

"In general, that's true."

Rhodes shrugged.

"But if there's something the devil wants here, it's something else."

"You mean ..."

Upon hearing Rhode's answer, Marlene froze slightly, and then she immediately turned her head and turned her gaze towards the girl who was sitting quietly beside Li Jie.

"She ... attracted the devil's attention? No, although this girl does have the blood of the devil, but there are so many demon descent on the mainland like stars, and how many devil will notice?"

"I don't know about it."

Rhodes shook his head, apparently he knew nothing about it.

"But I noticed a breath in the place where she lived today. It was weak, but there was an evil atmosphere. It didn't belong to Christie, although Celia thought it was by accident. It stays, but I don't think that's the case. And I have good reasons to prove it. "

With that said, Rhodes spread his hands.

"According to our information, it is not surprising that this village is attacked by undead spirits every night. But according to the description I got from the old village chief, the number of these undead spirits is very large, and they attacked The scale is large, which is strange. Because if you want to sacrifice your soul to the devil, it is safest to secretly carry it out. Once the scale becomes larger, it is easy to attract the attention of the governor, as we are for this reason I ’m here. And if you want to dedicate your soul to the devil, you should n’t make so many immortal spirits. After all, dedicating these souls directly to the devil will get more benefits. "

"What you said makes sense ..."

Hearing this, Marin nodded, and then she gave Rhode a curious look. Although she has been following Rhodes for so long, she has become accustomed to the erudition of the other side, but now Marin feels that Rhodes' performance has surpassed the erudition level and almost reached the level of omniscient knowledge. To know about the devil, even in the mage and the spiritual master, only those who are higher will know. But Rhodes gives people the feeling of twisting them around, as if you can ask a question, he can tell you the answer immediately.

Of course, Marilyn did not know that Rhodes was called a "walking library", and for him, Dragon Soul Mainland had almost no secrets, let alone the most common existence of the devil as an enemy in the future. .

"But if that's the case, why didn't that person imprison Christie?"

Thinking of this, Malin could not help but wonder.

"And if you want to send it away, you can do it anytime."

"not enough time."

Rhodes shook his head.

"The reason the other party converted so many undead spirits was to expand the gap in hell. Obviously, he should have been commanded by the devil to catch it. Otherwise, Christie could not live to this day. As for imprisoning her, There is no need. In fact, you have also seen that Christie's current situation and imprisonment are not far behind. She has no place to escape at all. If this extra effort might cause others to doubt, it might as well be prepared It was the same as before, and it was not too late to grab her after the gap channel was completely opened. "

"What a poor child."

Hearing Rhode's explanation, Marlene could not help but glance at Christie. The girl was wrapped in a thick blanket and looked up at the starry sky. Her thin figure was shaking on the ground and looked so messy. People love.

"It's going to be targeted by the devil ... then, Mr. Rhode, the reason you brought her here is to seduce each other."

"Yes."

Rhodes simply nodded.

"If the devil believer is a member of the village, he must also know that now Christie is under my protection, and I can guess with my hair that it is impossible for the other person to say, 'This girl will be taken by me as a gift to the devil.' Please raise your hand and show mercy, 'I will nod in agreement with his request. Moreover, it is undeniable that Christie is exactly the same as me, and everyone will surely think of us when we see it. So I think He will inevitably change his mind and come to my trouble. I don't want to be beaten up. Instead of putting Christie in the tavern and waiting for her to be taken away, I might as well bring her to my side. I don't believe that guy's patience can be so good that it can't be restrained. Although this is only my guess, it is always better than reality. "

"I see what you mean, Mr. Rhodes."

After a moment of contemplation, Marin quickly understood Rhodes' thoughts. Later, she didn't say much, but held the staff quietly, waiting for the battle to come.

Time passes by every minute.

The night was getting dark, and the lights in the village began to go out. Soon, silence and stillness became the main theme of the village. The mercenaries started to stand up and move their hands to avoid any errors and problems in the upcoming battle. They checked the potions around them, sharpened their weapons, and prepared their belongings. Even Li Jie began to pray in a low voice, hoping to win a victory. Only Annie was lying beside the fire heartlessly, leaning on her shield and snoring, watching her, it seemed that she was going to sleep until dawn.

Rhode looked up and looked at the moonlight in front of him.

The night sky under the light dragon soul is still so colorful, but I don't know why, Rhodes always feels that the halo tonight seems a bit dim. The night breeze blew slightly, causing the flames to sway, and for a time the surrounding lights became much darker.

"……what………"

Just then, Christie suddenly made a small exclaim, she opened her eyes in surprise, stood up, and looked around with confusion.

"what happened?"

The girl's anomaly immediately caught the attention of others, and Marin frowned, asking.

"... someone ... seems like someone ... is calling me ..."

The girl looked uneasily at the darkness in the surrounding square, and replied in a low voice, her body was shaking slightly, and her voice was intermittent.

"... I have never heard of ... the sound ... so gloomy ... makes people feel uncomfortable ..."

"call!"

Just then, Anne, who had been asleep, suddenly jumped up. She instantly picked up the shield and watched with vigilance around her eyes.

"There is something!"

"Get ready!"

Rhode waved his hand and gave the order. When he heard his orders, the mercenaries quickly stood up. They took out weapons and potions and looked around. The darkness remained, and nothing seemed to change. But the air was changing, and Celia, who had been silent, had already raised her sword at this moment, and the divine light flashed on it, turning into a violent silver flame. Marin turned the staff in her hand, and the magic began to condense into pure light. At this moment Li Jie also began to look around with a serious label. On her hands, the divine power began to flow, condensing into a tangible, powerful spell.

"I feel it, Mr. Rhodes, the evil breath is spreading, and something is coming!"

And just then, darkness was about to move.
