Become the Archbishop from Douluo

Chapter 254 The journey of ten deaths and no life

Sun Moon Empire, Sun Moon City.

As the only core of the entire empire, Sun Moon City is located in the center of the entire Sun Moon Continent, with a population of more than ten million. Even if those cities in Douluo Continent are included, it is well-deservedly the largest city in the world.

The city is brightly lit and full of high-rise buildings. It doesn't look like the level that this world can achieve. This can be seen from the unique style of the building.

However, this bustling city looks very deserted at this time, there are few pedestrians on the road, only guards in full armor, wearing black armor covering the whole body, holding guns that even modern people cannot see through , patrolling the streets.

On the road they walked, there were a lot of corpses lying here and there, but the equipment on these people looked quite old-fashioned, and they didn't fit in with the surrounding environment no matter how they looked.

If you just look at the comparison of the weapons and equipment of the two sides, it looks like some interstellar civilization invaded some medieval fantasy magic planet, but judging from the well-developed buildings in the entire Sun Moon City, this is more like a group of supernatural powers Raiders have invaded this futuristic city.

As night fell, large areas of lights were lit up in the city, but there were more and more people lurking in the shadows, ready to move.

Xu Mu'an was walking on the street, watching the patrols in the distance looking at her carefully, without any disturbance in his heart, holding a rolled up map, walking forward like a walking dead.

"Mu An, I've invited you back this time because I really need you to do something important."

"Uncle, please tell me."

"You are far away from the imperial capital, so I am afraid you will be very surprised when you come back this time. Look at this bustling city, complete supplies, and a good life. Not to mention for you, even for me, it is like heaven The presence."

".It is not good?"

"Yes, it would be great if it wasn't bought with the flesh and blood of us old aristocrats, but now, that bitch was pushed into the position by us, and now he is killing us in turn. Sun Moon Empire 3000 years I am afraid that Guo Zuo will be destroyed by her once."

".what can I do?"

"You are that bitch's childhood friend. It just so happens that I have a map that she needs to browse. I will submit an application in this regard, and she will probably designate you to send it to her. I have prepared equipment for you. After approaching her, just kill that congenitally disabled waste."

"."

"Why, don't you want to go? Have you forgotten your mother's last wish?"

".I understand."

"Of course, there are always accidents in everything. In order to prevent you from missing, I will install a small device in your body, so that nothing will go wrong."

".it is good."

A week ago, she was still a messenger in a fringe town. Although the soul master in this new empire had lost her former privileges, it was still easy to obtain a better life by virtue of the special ability given by the martial soul.

It has been many years since Xu Mu'an left Sun Moon City. Her mother was an unfavored concubine in the old empire. After the death of the first emperor, the queen mother asked her to be buried together. Later, there was civil strife in the palace. The uncle killed the queen mother, in addition to avenging her mother, he also rescued her from the cage by the way.

Otherwise, I'm afraid. I will have the same ending as my sister.

After that, she lived away from Tiandou City for a few years, but now, all of this has become a dream, and her life is finally inevitably coming to its own end.

Xu Mu'an sighed, this bustling city is so incompatible with her, she is just a poor person who can't even control her own destiny.

refuse?Mother's last wish was actually nothing more than asking her to take care of her brothers and sisters. These things have been done by that uncle all these years. Therefore, those words are nothing more than threatening her with the lives of these relatives. This is clear and true. I can't resist it.

Just as she was walking towards the palace, suddenly, there was a burst of shouting from the dark alley beside the road.

"Brothers! Go!"

More than a dozen soul masters with five or six soul rings rushed out, and their target was only a black-armored guard who seemed to have escaped from the patrol team and left alone.

Unlike other black-armored guards, this lone black-armored guard did not hold a standard spear in his hand, so he looked particularly easy to bully.

Even though the distance was only more than ten meters away, the black armored guard reacted extremely quickly. He suddenly pulled out the large-caliber pistol on his waist and fired a grenade. Following a flash of lightning, the soul rings on the group of soul masters instantly dissipated. The whole person also stagnated in place as if frozen.

The black armored guard had no intention of keeping them alive. After controlling these people, he turned the gun in his hand, then walked up to them, shot them one by one, and killed them all.

The whole process can't even be called a battle, it should be called a massacre. More than a dozen soul kings and soul emperors who could be called upper middle class before were massacred to death by a mediocre black armored guard.

Xu Mu'an was only more than ten meters away from this conflict. Although her talent was very good and she had seen too much darkness when she was young, it was unavoidably uncomfortable to see this bloody scene so intuitively.

She herself is nothing more than a soul venerable, a group of soul kings and soul emperors are like grass, so what about her? The guards on the side of the road are so strong, but in the palace, it is probably even more unimaginable for her.

The black armor guard on the side arranged his equipment, turned around and saw the little girl standing not far away, and stepped forward:
"Little girl, are you alright?"

The voice passed through the thick black armor, and it sounded like a very strong mechanical sound, but Xu Mu'an could still hear that this black armored guard should be a kind uncle.

"...I'm fine."

The black armored guard lowered his body, looked at the girl who was obviously trembling slightly, and couldn't help but sighed: "You must be frightened, damn it, it's all because of these damned beasts, look at how clean and tidy this street is, but now it's been destroyed These people have become polluted like this, obviously these people are living a much better life than me now, why are they just unwilling to be satisfied and insist on coming out to make trouble?"

"But uncle, why do you insist on killing them? Isn't this a bit too cruel, wouldn't it be better to arrest them?" Xu Mu'an hesitated for a while before asking.

"Cruel?" Hearing this kind of words, although the voice has been processed, the words of the black armored guard were obviously excited: "Ha, little girl, are you a soul master?"

Seeing that the Heijiawei's mood was a little unstable, Xu Mu'an took two steps back, for fear that he would suddenly attack him.

Seeing that the little girl was so defensive, the black armored guard also realized that he was losing his composure, so he pointed to the symbol on his shoulder that consisted of two daggers stacked together, and continued: "Let's put it this way, little girl, look , I am an old guard who follows His Majesty the Emperor, and there are eight hundred soul masters who have been killed like this before."

"But do you know what I did before I decided to swear allegiance to His Majesty?"

"Please tell me." Xu Mu'an shook her head, she really wanted to know what happened to this murderous, ruthless and seemingly enthusiastic veteran.

The town she lived in was very remote, far away from disputes, and it was also a rare peaceful place on the Sun Moon Continent. If the emperor hadn't called her back, she might have died there in this life.

The old guard didn't seem to care that his listener was just a child. He tapped his breastplate, and then a small drawer popped out. He took out a cigarette from it, and lit it with a twist of his fingers, and then He opened his visor and took a deep breath.

And Xu Mu'an also saw the face of this old guard, it was a weather-beaten face, covered with countless scars, some had obvious marks, and some seemed to have faded with the passage of time .

"I used to be a farmer. It's surprising, isn't it? You see, the scars on my face are from wars, but unfortunately they are not. I have been with the Queen for so many years and have basically not been injured. "

"In my opinion, every battle is as relaxed and freehand as before. Even the original scars have been erased by advanced medical equipment, so that the face can't be seen clearly, but there are still so many left."

"This is all thanks to you master soul masters. Ha, I was just unwilling to hand over the tax of the two silver coins that the boy temporarily increased, so I was almost disfigured by the beating. If you see With the scars on my body, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep.”

"However, this is really normal in the Sun Moon Empire. Every low-level peasant like me has experienced such tragedies more or less, but if you think that the crimes of these beasts are nothing more than that, then it is a big deal. wrong."

Speaking of this, the old guard took a deep puff of his cigarette, and there was an unconcealable killing intent in his eyes, but he was not facing Xu Mu'an, but the dead people beside the road.

Hearing these experiences of the old guard, Xu Mu'an couldn't help but think of his miserable childhood, and became even more curious about what happened next.

"To tell you the truth, God has treated me well. Even though I was beaten like this, it still brought me a beautiful wife, and later a lovely daughter and a smart son."

"In this world, being able to have such a complete family, even if it is still exploited and starved of food, is probably much happier than most people. During that time, even our income was exploited every year. The tax official was actually pleasing to the eye. At least I still have a complete family."

"But soon, I knew that I was thinking too much. When our family was working in the field, a rich and young man passed by on the road in the field. He saw my wife at a glance, and even ordered his servants to tie our family here. , and proposed to buy my wife and daughter with ten gold soul coins."

"Ten gold soul coins is actually an astronomical figure for us. In the era when people trading was commonplace, this could even be regarded as generous. But my family is everything to me, so of course I don't want to."

"At that time, I was also a obedient citizen for too long, and I also studied some laws to deal with those boys who bully us commoners who actually have little rights, so that at this time, I even ridiculously hoped that these laws would also able to deal with those privileged classes.”

"Sure enough, after I moved out the relevant regulations prohibiting human trafficking, that group of people laughed, and then wrote a contract of sale in front of me, which stated that I was unable to support my family, and I voluntarily transferred my wife and daughter to that person for free. rich and small."

"Afterwards, they pressured me to sign the signature and pledge. I resisted desperately, but the rich and the young were all soul masters, and anyone could easily kill me. At that time, I wished I could die just like that. .”

"However, the rich and young man obviously didn't want to kill me. He seemed to be taking pleasure in my pain. He asked for two copper coins from a servant and threw them in front of me as a reward for showing mercy. Then he took my wife and daughter Go away."

Speaking of this, the old guard threw the cigarette butt on the ground, twisted it fiercely, and then said viciously: "I want to take revenge, but no one will care about me, a humble commoner. Until the civil war on the entire continent begins, Her Majesty's army sweeps the entire world."

"She saved us lowly civilians, healed my wounds, and gave my son a bright future. Naturally, I joined the imperial army without hesitation and participated in the battle to besiege the big city that our place belongs to. .”

"There is no suspense in this battle. With the last hope in my heart, I was the first to rush into the city gate. At that time, our equipment was not so advanced. Although the weapons were powerful enough, it would be a shame to be hit by those soul masters. It's dangerous, but that's why I can become a member of His Majesty's Guards by virtue of my bravery and fearlessness."

"After learning about my deeds, my chief did not persuade me to let go of my hatred, but sent me [-] people to take charge of this matter, and I lived up to everyone's expectations and found that rich and young man in the city lord's mansion."

"Haha, speaking of it, I didn't know how to abuse people at that time, so I took out all the things in the prison of their city lord's mansion and gave him a round. Looking at his screaming appearance, I knew Why do these bastards like to see people in pain, but after tortured for a while, I found it boring, so I shot his life, tsk tsk, now that I think about it, I really regret it."

"What about your wife and daughter?"

After carefully listening to the story of the old guard, Xu Mu'an couldn't help feeling hopeful.

What a wonderful story this is. Compared with my bleak life, I am afraid that it can only be imagined in my dreams-being bullied for 20 years, and finally getting revenge, watching the enemy die in pain. If the wife and daughter To be able to survive is really a good thing.

"They are dead." The old guard lowered his eyes: "You can see that you can understand my pain, but ah, child, you are a soul master after all, and you can be called a human existence, and we At that time, civilians were farm tools, slaves, and livestock, but they were not human beings.”

"So, as a human being, would you pay attention to the needs and desires of an animal or a tool? For a 'human', it's just a decoration, and it's just thrown in a mass grave after death."

"Haha, but it doesn't matter. I don't treat those beasts as human beings. If these beasts obediently treat them as pets and obey Her Majesty's grace, that's all. If they don't obey, this is their only destiny."

Speaking of this, the old guard put on his mask again, and looked at Xu Nianwei meaningfully: "So, before you plan to do anything, you'd better think about whether it's worth it or not. "

The old guard lightly patted Xu Muan's shoulder, then stood up, behind him, a patrol team came over.

"Captain, Lord Renault ordered us to clear the mansion of an old prince. There is clear information that they are plotting to blow up the Tongtian Tower." A black armored guard walked over, gave a military salute, and handed over a panel.

The old guard checked it briefly, then put it away, stretched his muscles, and then said to the people behind him:
"Okay, kids, it's time to get out!"
