Rebel Demon King

Chapter 893 Seven Sins - Judgment Day (8)

Anna curled up in a corner of the prison van.The night is deep, the galaxy is vast, the cold wind shakes the branches and makes a rustling sound, and the bonfires in the distance make a beeping sound, jumping in the dark forest like will-o'-the-wisps, illuminating the Pale faces one after another reflected the entire camp like a huge grave.

Although she was the only one who enjoyed special treatment and was locked in the prison car, Anna didn't feel too much fear at this moment, because she was already exhausted from crying, and only felt tired and numb. There is no energy left to be afraid.Because it was slightly warmer during the day, she slept a lot of time intermittently on the bumpy road during the day. At night, the temperature dropped so much that she couldn't fall asleep at all.Her coat was nothing more than a simple cotton skirt, and she thought she would have froze to death in the prison wagon if Reverend Frank, taking pity on her, had not given her a woolen blanket.

Anna hugged her knees and wrapped the blanket tightly, but she still felt cold and shivered in the blanket.How much she longed for her mother's warm embrace at this time, she regretted so much that she stole her mother's "doctor's beak coat" out of curiosity and went to peek at the angel outside the church. Priest Frank just sighed and shook his head. Tears flowed from Anna's red and swollen eye sockets. Tears dripped on the wool blanket like broken beads, and soon this piece became stiff. stand up.

She looked at the bonfire in the distance with tears in her eyes. It seemed that the kind face of her mother appeared in the yellow flames. Anna was even more sad. She grabbed the rough wooden railing and looked at the warm red with dull eyes. The scene where she was urged by her mother to get up and study every morning. At that time, she was always annoyed that her mother was too strict with her, and she was not allowed to go out to play until she had finished memorizing that annoying Latin medical book.

In fact, she doesn't like reading medical books at all. She likes to listen to her mother telling her stories, stories about vampires, princes and princesses, but her mother always only tells her a short paragraph before going to bed, which is what she looks forward to most every day. Time, the more you look forward to, the more tormented the daytime study time becomes.But when I think about that boring daily life now, I feel so happy.

The more Anna thought about it, the more bitter she became. Sorrow came from it. A kind of despair engulfed her. She raised her head and looked at the stars in the sky with tears in her eyes. Legend has it that the sky is the place where the Creator lives. She whispered hoarsely. sang: "Lord, let me pluck a star:
Maybe this will calm my sick heart...

But you don't want me to get a star,

You don't want to, even if you don't want to,
A little bit of happiness enters my life.

Look: I don't want to complain, I'm in myself

Silent, without rancor, nor mocking,
Like a bleeding bird hiding between two stones.

oh!Tell me is this star dead? ...

So give it to me like people
A penny for a poor man who sits in a ditch and starves?
God, I'm like those donkeys that trot...

What you give us, when you take back,

It's scary, we feel

A frightening gust of wind blew by
How can it be cured?God, you know what?
Do you remember, my God, that I carried holly leaves,
When I was a little boy, by your manger
And my mother was there tenderly arranging the trays of candlesticks.

Can't you give me back a little of what I've done?

Besides, if you think it will cure my sick heart,
Can't you, my God, give me a star,

'cause I need it, put it on for tonight

On my cold, empty, hopeless heart? "

This sad and mournful song awakened some poor women, and they wept along with the howling evening wind, and suddenly the camp was shrouded in gloom and mist.The patrolling Crusaders shouted loudly at Anna: "What are you singing? Shut up!" After a pause, the Crusaders with torches looked around at the witches around the campfire and warned, " If any of you cry, you will attract wolves, and I will throw you all into it."

So the miserable crying in the camp stopped immediately, leaving only sporadic uncontrollable gasps.

Anna didn't know what to do, tears flowed into her mouth, salty and astringent, she closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, singing the last few lines with tears in a voice only she could hear: "Come, sing with the harp
All loud, sing with the harps
All hearts and praises, sing with the harps
Hallelujah!"

At this time, footsteps were heard not far away, and the footsteps were getting closer. Anna looked towards the source of the sound through the faint moonlight, and a group of crusaders in chain mail seemed to be heading towards her. The prison car came over, Anna was not too nervous, nor was she curious, she was ashamed, there was nothing worse for her.

But she heard the patrolling soldiers shouting: "Your Excellency the Castellan!" Anna looked over intently, and there was indeed the Castellan Leohard she had seen in the team. Her mother took her to play in the Castle of the Castellan, and she still clearly remembered that On a sunny afternoon, the tall and heroic Lord Leohard with whiskers gave her a plate of delicious pastries, which were delicious on a shiny silver plate.

The inexplicable Anna had a gleam of hope in her heart. She wanted to appeal to the city lord, and she wanted to tell the city lord that her mother was not a witch who released the plague, but a doctor.She is not even a witch, but just an ignorant little girl.The person in the prison car couldn't stand up straight at all, she knelt and crawled towards the direction that Lord Leohard was coming, grabbed the railing tightly, squeezed her face into the narrow gap, looked at Lord Leohard and shouted tremblingly: "The Lord of Leohard Your Excellency, Your Excellency the City Lord"

I don't know if it's the mercy of the creator or the city lord really remembers her. She saw the city lord Leohard in a scarlet cloak walking straight towards her. When he was approaching the prison car, a few soldiers behind him guarded her. Beyond the perimeter, there was a handsome young man carrying a sack.Anna knew this guy. He was Aachen, the son of Ralph, the supervisor of Leohard City. Several times, Aachen came to her house to ask her mother to go to the castle to check up on the pregnant lady. Occasionally, she If you are in the living room, you will have a few words with this handsome young man.

Lord Leohard stared at Anna in the prison car and said in a low voice: "Oh! My God! My poor little Anna, what have you gone through, it really made you suffer!"

Anna's tears fell again, she didn't think that the Lord Santo really remembered her, she cried more and more, and said while sobbing: "My Majesty, my mother is not a witch, she is not a witch. She is really just a doctor , she studied the dead body to find the cause of the plague. You should be clear"

"I know! I know! Anna, don't cry!" Castellan Leohard lowered his voice, "That's why I'm here to save you!"

"Come and save me" The happiness came so suddenly that Anna was stunned for a while, and then she burst into tears, but the crying was not the kind of helpless and hysterical crying, but a kind of happiness and joy. cries.Anna thought to herself: The Creator heard the call for help and really sent someone to rescue me.

"Don't cry, Anna, time is running out." The city lord took out the key from his waist, opened the lock, then reached in and grabbed Anna's arm, "Come down quickly."

Anna bowed her body and jumped out of the prison van tremblingly. Because she had not moved for a long time, her body was numb, and she staggered and almost fell down. Fortunately, Lord Leohard supported her.Anna was so excited that even her voice trembled: "Thank you! Your Excellency! Thank you! Your Excellency!"

"Should be, your mother is my friend, not to mention, Lord Angel also told me" Leohard said with a smile, then he turned his head and looked at Aachen who was carrying a sack behind him, "Put people in go in."

"Okay, sir." Aachen walked to the prison car, he put the sack that seemed to contain a person in it, then untied the rope tied at the tail, and took off the brown sack. Sure enough, there was a person inside, a comatose Girls from the past.

Anna was just about to ask about the situation of the city lord's mother, but was startled by Aachen's actions. She stared at the girl who was stuffed by Aachen.Although she is not as good-looking as herself, she is a little bit similar.Anna was stunned, she stammered and said: "City Master, Sir, what is this for? Didn't you save me because... because I am innocent?"

Leohard closed the door of the prison car, and was about to lock it, he said without looking back: "Anna, you are the person designated by the bishop to be burned to death, I can't help you get rid of the crime, I can only use this method .”

"My God, I'm going to be burned to death." Anna showed a terrified expression, she covered her face, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, do you mean that she will be burned to death instead of me?"

"Yes! Anna!" Leohard looked back at Anna and nodded nonchalantly, "Don't worry about it, she is a slave I bought from the market, and she is still dumb, not worth much."

Anna didn't speak. She stared blankly at the unconscious girl in the prison car, as if she didn't know what to do.

"Let's go!" City Lord Leohard locked the lock, dragged the bewildered girl, and walked towards the outside of the camp.Anna was like a puppet that had lost her soul. She was dragged forward by Leohard, followed by Leohard's trusted soldiers and Aachen. Everyone didn't take it seriously.

Anna felt cold all over.

After walking out of the camp, Leohard stopped in his tracks, turned around and said to Anna who hadn't recovered yet: "Anna, don't be afraid, follow Aachen, he will take you to a safe place to hide Then, when the time comes, Lord Angel will also go to see you."

"Master Angel?" Anna seemed to wake up suddenly, she grabbed Leohard's arm and pleaded, "Good-hearted Lord, can you ask Lord Angel to save the girl who replaced me just now? I beg you."

Lord Leohard shook his head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Anna, even if I rescue that mute, someone will still take your place. There are 666 witches, not one less." Leohard The city lord sighed, "You should hurry up and go with Aachen!"

Aachen came up and said softly, "Anna, come with me. I have prepared a horse ahead. Can you ride a horse?"

"No, no." Anna shook her head with tears streaming down her face, "I can't do this. The Creator will never forgive me for doing this kind of thing." At this moment, she seemed to have remembered something, and turned to look at the eager voice of Lord Leohard. Ask, "My lord, where is my mother? I want to know where she is!"

Lord Leohard sighed again, showing a sad expression and said: "Child, don't be too sad, your mother was summoned by the Lord and is no longer here." Leohard crossed his chest, "But she will bless you in heaven"

After getting the answer, Anna felt as if struck by lightning. She became dizzy for a while, and sat down in the snow staggeringly. She couldn't even shed tears now.

"Take her away! Aachen!" Leohard showed a little impatience, turned around and left.

Aachen stepped forward, bent down and grabbed Anna's arm and whispered, "Anna, let's go! Now is not the time to be sad!"

Anna struggled to stand up from the ground, she broke free from Aachen's hand, ran towards Lord Leohard in a staggered manner, and shouted, "I'm going to see Lord Angel now."

Lord Leohard turned his head and said helplessly, "Ah, Anna! Don't be self-willed."

The cold wind swept through the forest, and the shadows of the trees swayed in the snow.

"What do you want to see me for!" Cheng Mo, who was wearing a bird's beak doctor's coat, jumped out of the void and said in a deep voice.

Leohard knelt down immediately, followed by several soldiers around him and Aachen also knelt down, shouting in unison: "Master Angel."

Anna saw Cheng Mo wearing a bird's beak doctor's coat, as if she saw a savior, she ran over and knelt down at Cheng Mo's feet, hugging his leg and begging: "Master Angel, please revive my mother, please"

"People cannot be resurrected after death." Cheng Mo said calmly, he raised his hand and touched Anna's head, "But I think death is a good thing for your mother, because she can live a happy life in heaven." Live, Anna."

"Really?" Anna looked up, looking at Cheng Mo wearing a bird's beak mask with tears in her eyes.

"Of course it's true." Cheng Mo nodded, "I escorted her for a while, and she asked me to take good care of you, so I'm here."

Anna burst into tears, Cheng Mo did not continue to comfort her, but gently stroked her hair.As for the others, Cheng kept silent, and they didn't dare to get up. They all knelt in the snow with their heads down, listening to a child crying in the silent midnight.

It took a while for Anna to stop her crying. She prostrated herself at Cheng Mo's feet, kissed his boots, and begged: "Master Angel, can you save other people? I know they are just like my mother. is innocent"

Cheng Mo said lightly: "What if I can only save you? What are you going to do?"

Anna raised her head with a sad expression, but she said very firmly: "I can't let others sacrifice for me, I have to go back"

"Go back." Cheng Mo lowered his head slightly, looking down at Anna's clear eyes through the red crystal lens, "If you go back, you will be burned to death."

"It's better to go to heaven to see my mother sooner if I'm burned to death." Anna was not afraid at all, but instead showed a kind of divine expectation on her face.

"What if I have to ask you to go?"

"Master Angel, I will not leave. Even if you ask someone to take me away, I will still find a way to come back." Anna said in a low voice.

"Anna, how can you speak to Lord Angel like this!" Castellan Leohard raised his voice and scolded.

Anna quickly crawled down again, and said stubbornly: "Please forgive me, Lord Angel"

Cheng Mo was silent for a while, then turned to Lord Leohard and said, "Take her back! Send someone to protect her, and give her some food and clothes."

"Okay! My lord Angel!" said Lord Leohard immediately.

"Come with me." Cheng Mo said to Leohard, "I have something to arrange for you!"
