moon shot plan
Chapter 93 Resurrection Chapter Town
The man was touching the lantern, seemingly curious and puzzled, his young face was full of confusion, An Ran really didn't expect him to appear here——
Isn't this the Blood Moon World?
Don't you have to reach 10 points to get in?
Why is Xu Heng here!
That's right, that person turned out to be Senior Brother Xu Heng whom he hadn't seen for a long time!
"...Brother?" An Ran wasn't sure, so she tried to shout, but she didn't expect that the other party really turned her head back, and after seeing him clearly, she rushed over in surprise: "I'm not mistaken, it's actually An Ran!"
An Ran still had doubts in her heart. Seeing him rushing towards him, she subconsciously evaded: "Senior brother, why are you here? When I saw you in the coffee shop last time, didn't you use up all your points?"
An Ran clearly remembered that he and Xu Heng had met at Dorothy's coffee shop after the end of the copy at the plastic surgery hospital. At that time, Xu Heng used all his points to upgrade item cards!How did you get another 10 points so quickly?
Is this person really Xu Heng?
Xu Heng still looked carefree, and didn't see the guard in An Ran's eyes at all. He scratched his head and said, "That's right, I didn't have many points, and I upgraded the item card several times. The points have already been used up."
"Then why are you here? Didn't Dorothy say that you need at least 10 points to enter the Blood Moon World...Wait, do you know this is the Blood Moon World?" With a confused face, he asked hastily.
Xu Heng nodded again and again: "I know, I know, look, isn't this the invitation letter from Blood Moon World? I found it on me!"
As he said that, he also pulled out a crumpled piece of letter paper from his sleeve, An Ran took it over and glanced at it, it was the same as his own invitation letter, it also said "Demon Hunter".
An Ran changed the letter paper back, and asked again: "Then how did you get involved in the blood moon world? Can you get in even if you don't have enough points?"
Xu Heng replied: "No, I have enough points. Isn't the entry point 10? I just have 10 points!"
"What?" An Ran frowned: "Didn't you just say that all the points have been upgraded to item cards? Why do you have another 10 points? Where did you get so many points?"
Xu Heng said, "Dorothy gave it to us!"
"Dorothy?!" An Ran's heart trembled when he heard the name. He hadn't forgotten that it was this person who deceived him ruthlessly in the last dungeon. In the end, he managed to catch her, but he didn't pass the level. A reminder of success, but an invitation from hell.
"Last time she called Lan Xin and me over, saying that she had a very dangerous task to do, basically it could be said that there was no return, and after we met once, she transferred all the leftovers to us , I didn’t want those item cards or anything, and I was short of points at the time, so I asked her if she could transfer some points to me, and she agreed, and directly transferred 100000 points to me.”
While recalling, Xu Heng added: "But those points are useless. It seems that they can't upgrade items. What's called 'locked points'? What's the 'Blood Moon World'... before I figured out what was going on, I found myself in this dungeon!"
"Dorothy swiped the lock points for you?" An Ran murmured and repeated, she couldn't believe it: "Why did she do that?"
She said it was to help him, but gave him unusable locked points, and it just happened to be 10... She said it was to harm him, what did Dorothy want to do with this move?
Who is in charge of all this?Why target them?
An Ran frowned and fell into deep thought, and Xu Heng added another sentence: "It's not just me who collected her points, Lan Xin seems to have received it too, I heard her scream just now!"
"You said that the woman who screamed just now was Lan Xin?" An Ran thought about it carefully, the scream just now seemed really familiar, it might be Lan Xin's.
Only in this way, everything becomes more dangerous... This is the blood moon world, not their K University campus, so how can they be so destined that they can get together?
What's more, Xu Heng also said just now that he was able to enter here because he received Dorothy's locked points, and Lan Xin was the same... And Dorothy is obviously not the administrator who has been guiding them and helping them all the time Now, after thinking about it carefully, all she did in the last dungeon was to lure him into a trap!
She just wanted to receive that deadly customs clearance gift for herself!
And all of this points to the rose she is loyal to... The Demon King of Lust!
What exactly does His Majesty want to do?Step by step, all the traps were exhausted, just to lure him into the blood moon world?
Then why do you do something to Xu Heng and the others... just because they are more familiar with you?
Only these two people were recruited, or...
Xie Yi's face flashed across An Ran's mind——
In terms of closeness and familiarity, Xu Heng Lanxin doesn't count, Xie Yi should be the first one, right?
Now that Xu Heng and the others have been pulled into the blood moon world, where is Xie Yi?Is he here too?
When An Ran was thinking hard, Xu Heng tugged at his clothes and shouted, "Look quickly! Isn't that Lan Xin! What monster is following her!"
An Ran looked up, and sure enough, she saw that familiar figure. Her long hair was disheveled and she was very embarrassed. Although she was far away, it was not difficult to recognize that it was Lan Xin.
She was holding a hand crossbow, and while running towards this direction, she turned her head and shot arrows. When she looked closely, there was a pale monster chasing behind her. A little damage was done, and after a while, she was panting tiredly, and her steps became heavy.
"Help! Ah... help me!" She saw An Ran and Xu Heng in the distance, her eyes lit up, and she quickly waved and shouted.
"Stab it in the stomach!" An Ran yelled, and at the same time ran towards her quickly, waved her hand with a knife, and the dark green devilish energy swept through the air like a whirlwind, directly cutting off the monster's head, and the monster hissed , the footsteps became messy, because he couldn't tell the direction, he wobbled so much that he was about to fall.
"Lan Xin, shoot it in the stomach!" An Ran shouted at her.
Lan Xin turned sideways when she heard the words, taking advantage of the monster's dizziness and not knowing what was going on, she shot an arrow into its huge swollen belly, the monster let out a stern roar, and An Ran quickly shouted again: "Lan Xin, stay away point!"
Lan Xin just ran more than ten meters away when she heard a "bang", a large amount of black and yellow mucus spewed out, splashing everywhere, but after the huge belly was completely dried up, the monster's screams stopped abruptly, and then went to see At that time, both the monster and the slime disappeared completely.
"Oh my god, what kind of monster is that!" Xu Heng was disgusted by the mucus just now, and subconsciously covered his nose: "Lan Xin screamed just because she was chased by it!"
As he was talking, Lan Xin had already walked over. Seeing someone she was familiar with, she seemed relieved, and let out a heavy breath: "It's a good thing you are here, otherwise I would have to be torn apart by that monster."
"I didn't expect that the three of us would meet here." She sighed with a smile: "The last time we got together, we were still a group of newbies who shot the moon. Who would have thought that seeing each other now would be in the legendary In the blood moon world?"
An Ran smiled wryly and said, "I'm also a novice now, and I didn't come in because of my strength, I just got 10 locked points out of nowhere."
Lan Xin said helplessly: "Who isn't? I didn't expect that Dorothy left me and said that she had something to give to me, but in the end she gave me these life-threatening points..."
"I just woke up and went to read the invitation letter, but the monster rushed out. At first, I relied on my own strength to fight it, but it was useless even if it broke its neck. It scared me. Run quickly, if I don't meet you, I don't know what to do."
Lan Xin recalled the frightening moment just now, and still has lingering fears: "I didn't expect the monsters here to be so powerful. I was forced to come in because I had enough points. I didn't make any preparations before, and the props were not high enough. Dealing with these monsters is really difficult." Overwhelmed."
An Ran comforted: "Don't think so, although these monsters are fierce, they are not without weaknesses. Monsters like the one just now have thicker skin and more blood. You just need to aim at their stomachs and hit them, and they can be easily solved. Lost."
Lan Xin nodded: "That's right... By the way, what are the reminders on your invitation letter? Mine mentioned 'gravekeeper', do you know what it is?"
"Gravekeeper?" An Ran wondered, isn't their invitation letter the same?
Xu Heng was even more puzzled, took out his invitation letter and read it again: "Where is there such a 'gravekeeper', why didn't I write this?"
Lan Xin glanced at the invitation letter he was holding, and couldn't help but say, "Xu Heng, do you know that this invitation letter has a back? It also has words on the back."
"Ah?" Xu Heng was taken aback, and hastily turned over the letter paper. Sure enough, seeing a few lines written on it, An Ran also moved over, and found that the prompt on it was really different from his own!
It says:
[The sweet nectar is as golden and attractive as amber. This is a generous gift from the devil. No one can refuse this exquisite delicacy. 】
[But who would have thought that gluttony is also a kind of original sin? 】
[God punished them to suffer from hunger forever, but the devil thought that perhaps disemboweling them was the best choice. 】
[The faint blue light burns the foolish and ignorant souls, traveler who travels a long way,
Do not take it lightly, or you will unleash sin. 】
"Greedy is also a kind of original sin..." An Ran read on: "The torture of hunger...but the devil thinks...opening up..."
"According to this reminder, those monsters...that is, the townspeople who committed crimes, because they were punished, they turned into starving ghosts...and to get rid of them, you need to 'open their stomachs', That is to attack their huge belly..."
"The faint blue light burns the foolish and ignorant souls..." An Ran looked around, only to see the light of hundreds of lanterns flickering, and the blue flames danced wildly in the wind, as if they were watching their eyes.
"Wait, what does this sentence mean? 'Ghostly blue light'? Could it be referring to these lanterns?" Xu Heng shuddered, thinking that he had touched the lantern just now, and suddenly felt a chill.
"This reminder tells us - first, don't touch the lanterns at the door, otherwise the monster will be released; second, the stomach is the monster's weak point. If you want to kill them, you must attack their huge belly." Lan Xin finished speaking, and then He took out his own invitation letter and showed the reminder behind it to the two of them:
[Where the bell echoes, bathe in the dawn and stand quietly.
This is where the name of the town comes from. 】
[In front of the statue is the weeping Madonna, where she buried her flesh and blood.
May all love and hatred vanish and their souls rest in oblivion. 】
[The keeper of the tomb looks at him all day long, from his youth until his pale face and gray hair.
Perhaps, he would give the witchers a message? 】
"This……"
Compared with Xu Heng's prompt, these few lines of Lan Xin's prompt are much more difficult to decipher. After reading it for a long time, An Ran didn't understand what she meant, so she could only guess: "The last sentence is for us to find the gravekeeper. ? So...we're going to find the cemetery?"
But where is the cemetery?Simply clueless.
"Wait, look at this sentence - this is the origin of the name of the town... What is the name of the town?"
"Easter town?" An Ran frowned: "I heard it from a townsman before the blood moon."
"Easter Town?" Lan Xin was also confused: "The origin of this name? Is it Easter Island? Or is it an altar related to Easter?"
She didn't believe it after she said it.
An Ran carefully recalled the conversation with the stonemason, and suddenly remembered the tattered stone tablet——
On the stele it is written:
Church Town!
"Church! This sentence refers to the church!" An Ran took the invitation letter excitedly, and pointed it out to them: "'Where the bells echo' - the place where the bell just rang is the church! This town was originally called Church Town, I don't know Why did the townsman insist that this place is called Easter Town...so if the original name came from, it must be the church!"
"The church..." Lan Xin's eyes lit up after hearing his explanation, "That's right, if it's the place where the bell is ringing, it may indeed be the bell tower of the church... There may also be a cemetery and statues beside the church. "
"The first sentence and the last sentence are understood, but what's so interesting about the second game?" Xu Heng listened to their explanation, reacted for a while, nodded half-understood, and pointed to the second sentence:
[In front of the statue is the weeping Madonna, where she buried her flesh and blood.
May all love and hatred vanish and their souls rest in oblivion. 】
"This..." An Ran couldn't understand it after reading it for a long time, so she could only put it aside: "Just looking at the literal meaning, it seems that the Holy Mother buried her child here. I don't understand."
Lan Xin didn't understand the deep meaning of this sentence, so she let it go and asked An Ran: "What's your hint?"
An Ran took out her invitation letter, flipped it to the back and showed it to them, and said, "I probably mean that the leading demon king of this dungeon is Taotie. Since it is the blood moon book, it is the domain of a certain demon king. That is to say, this demon king must exist in the dungeon, and it is a customs clearance boss, we can’t get out unless we get rid of the demon king.”
"How is it possible? Get rid of a demon king? Stop joking!" Xu Heng wailed, "No. 4 in the Baicheng dungeon will scare me to death, okay? Who would have thought that such a white and tender young lady would be frightening Greedy Demon King! My hind legs are weak after teleportation, and here comes another Demon King, I will just clean up and die!"
After reading the reminder, Lan Xin also had a sad face on her face: "It is indeed the gluttonous demon king. Although Dorothy said that the gluttonous demon king is relatively weak among the seven demon kings, since he can rank among the demon kings, it must be No matter how weak it is, it won’t be too weak, not to mention that when I fought against that monster just now, I feel that it has improved by more than one level compared to before. It is not easy for us to clear this blood moon book.”
An Ran nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "I heard the NPC mentioned 'Church Town' in the Baicheng dungeon before, they said that the first thing the devil came back with the fire of hell was revenge... and revenge is From 'Cathedral Town', it seems like everyone has degenerated into monsters - including the Bishop!"
"The devil? Revenge?" Lan Xin digested the information, and her brows became tighter and tighter: "If the bishop has degenerated into a monster... then can we still go to the church? It should not be safe there!"
Xu Heng interjected, "We don't need to go to the bishop, but go directly to the gravekeeper."
Lan Xin nodded, but she was still worried: "But this town is really weird... When I was teleported in just now, I saw a group of ragged people running towards the east angrily, shouting slogans while running ...It seems to be talking about 'blood debts'...It really scared me to death!"
"East?" Of course, An Ran knew who these people were. They were the townspeople who clamored to execute Anna. When they were here, they said they were going to the church to expose Anna's crimes, but Lan Xin said they were going to the east. , then there is no doubt that the church should be on the east side!
"Quick, let's go there too!" An Ran pointed to the east: "Those people went to the church to find the priest, we can find the church by going there!"
Unexpectedly, just as they were about to leave, the sky and the earth suddenly began to shake again. The high-hanging blood moon vibrated in the air, as if it was about to fall at any moment. Staggering, he fell backward suddenly, bumping into the lantern at the door.
She still remembered the reminder on the invitation letter, lest the faint blue light would go out, she hurried forward to give a hand, but at this moment, a withered finger suddenly protruded from the gap in the door and pulled it over. Her wrist was violently pulled inward.
The incident happened suddenly, and none of them were prepared. Lan Xin's arm was scratched bloody by the monster's sharp claw. Xin pulled it away, and the monster in the hut desperately hit the door panel, roaring and trying to rush out.
At the same time, the night wind that had calmed down suddenly howled. Hundreds of lanterns flickered, blue flames danced in the strong wind, and the doors and windows of all the huts were violently hit. There are skinny faces, their huge and empty eyes are shining with a terrifying blue light, and at the places where the doors and windows are broken, there are even branches-like arms stretched out, and they are waving sharp fingers and claws randomly, It was as if he couldn't wait to devour them.
"What's going on? Why did those monsters suddenly become agitated?" Lan Xin covered the wound on her arm with a solemn expression: "We didn't move those lanterns either, why did they react so much?"
An Ran raised her head and looked at the sky, only to see that round of blood moon appearing and disappearing, rounding and fading, behind the cloudy clouds, there seemed to be some light shining through, maybe it was because of dizziness, but An Ran seemed to see a few dim stars.
Is it...
"It's such a shock again..." Before An Ran finished speaking, she heard faint bells coming from the east, one after another, long and heavy, as if calling them to go.
"This is so similar to the scene before the blood moon! Before the blood moon, you heard the bell first, then felt the vibration, and then the so-called 'stars fall, the blood moon is in the sky' happened. The bell should remind the townspeople Hide in the house, or you will turn into a monster..."
An Ran analyzed: "But this time there was a tremor first, and then there was a bell... Does this mean that the blood moon fell and the stars reappeared?"
Before the words fell, accompanied by a sharp sound of rubbing, the blood moon that was originally suspended in the sky suddenly began to fall. The scorching high temperature and dazzling red light made them unable to open their eyes at all. Under this evil and terrifying coercion, They had to bend down and cover their heads, hoping to escape the heat.
At the same time, the sound of impacts all around became more and more violent. Those monsters seemed to be crazy, screaming desperately to break through the door, An Ran covered his ears, and struggled to identify the direction in the wind and blood mist. It took a long time to find it. Xu Heng and Lan Xin were also in pain.
Just when they were about to lose their hold, a beam of holy white light gently shone on their bodies through the blood, directly isolating the noise and pain. Only then did An Ran remember that she still had a star lamp, and quickly turned it on. It took it out and shouted in Xu Heng's direction: "I'm here!"
When they saw the white light in the blood mist, they immediately moved closer. At this time, the blood moon had completely fallen below the horizon, and the vast sky was like a pure black velvet curtain. Something is missing.
Just as An Ran was thinking this way, in the next second, countless stars suddenly appeared on the sky, like broken diamonds dropped by someone with a wave, shining and crystal clear, but appearing strangely.
"how come……"
With the appearance of those stars, the blood mist between the sky and the earth immediately dissipated completely. The soft starlight shone on the glass lantern, as if coated with a gentle warm color. , There was a moment of silence in the town.
"Those monsters..." Lan Xin just wanted to ask something, when she heard the sound of the door opening behind her, she was so frightened that she drew out her hand crossbow and turned around vigilantly. It's a girl who looks just like herself.
Just as she was hesitating about what to do, the doors of the surrounding huts opened one after another, and one after another stretched out of the house, saying hello to each other.
"Hey, how did you sleep last night?"
"To be honest, it's not very practical. As for the reason, you know." The other person sniffed, and his tone was very dissatisfied: "As long as I think of an evil witch hiding in our town, I can't sleep because of anger." , not even the sound of a bell can calm me down!"
"Didn't you expose her crimes with Bishop Philip yesterday? Didn't the bishop agree to execute her?" The man was very surprised: "I thought the bishop had had enough of this bad girl full of lies! Her words and deeds are frivolous, and her behavior Debauchery, flirting with each other all day long, fascinated those poor teenagers, and dared to falsely preach the oracle, the crime is not only to seduce the youth? The bishop should have executed her long ago!"
The other person shook his head angrily: "The bishop still has some scruples, God, who would have thought that someone would be so bold, and would be so determined to tell this lie from birth?"
"But in fact, she is so bold, because she is not a chaste and pure girl at all, but a vicious witch who is good at deceiving people. She came to the town to pretend to be the Virgin. We cast a curse!"
"Today we must convince the bishop, and we must execute her!" More and more people gathered around, shouting excitedly: "She killed those youths, and she must be paid with blood!"
"Here we go again." Lan Xin looked at the group of people and sighed, "I also saw them shouting slogans before, saying that they were going to hunt down a witch named Anna."
"But she is not a witch, she is the future His Royal Highness Santa Ana." An Ran hid in the shadows, paying close attention to the dynamics of the group of people, and saw that they became more and more excited as they talked. If you don't know this history, just listen to their description If so, An Ran might really regard Anna as a heinous witch.
The group gathered together, discussing loudly how to subdue Anna, a vicious witch, and they came up with a poisonous plan in order to let the bishop execute Anna directly——
"We can go to her house, call her parents, and let them admit that those prophecies are all false, the result of being bewitched by their daughter, there are no angels, and there are no descendants of gods, only the abyss and nightmares."
"Go find two more young people and ask them to testify that it was indeed Anna who cast a spell to confuse them. The reason why those people committed suicide was all instigated by the witch, not because of their own stupidity."
After they figured out a way, they laughed and split up. An Ran looked at the back of them leaving, frowned, and said to Lan Xin and Xu Heng: "They are going to murder Anna. Let's go to the church now and see what happened. Something happened!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran to the east. The two people were stunned for a moment and quickly followed, but Lan Xin still didn't understand: "Are we going to take care of this? Isn't this the domain of the gluttonous demon king? What does it have to do with the Holy Mother?"
"I don't know, I just have this premonition... There is no mission introduction right now, only a few hints... Anyway, we are going to the church, so we'll see it later!"
"When—when—"
The bell struck thirteen times.
Anna was burnt to the stake by the angry townspeople. A woman whose son had died cried unceasingly. When she saw her, she rushed up excitedly and shook her body fiercely: "It's you! It's you, the wicked witch, You killed my child! He is the only one, how vicious your heart is!"
"Burn her! Burn her!" roared the angry townspeople below.
"Quiet!"
Although the bishop was old, he was still full of vigor, his voice was like a bell, and he was full of majesty. As soon as he spoke, the clamoring townspeople immediately fell silent, and two nuns in black robes came out from behind him, crying out of breath. The humble woman sent her to the audience.
The bishop's skin was already wrinkled, but his eyes were still clear and sharp. His gaze swept across Anna and then fell on everyone in the audience. Although his tone was soft, he was full of majesty: "My lamb Ladies, what do you ask me to do when you are not at home praising the grace of God?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, looking at each other, hesitating whether to stand up or not, at this time, the woman just now cried bitterly: "Bishop! The person on the stage has been possessed by the devil, she is the one who bewitched my son, put them To the abyss of death!"
As soon as the words came out, the others responded immediately: "Yes! Those poor people who committed suicide were instigated by her. She deliberately attracted those young people to gather around her, just to push them to death!"
After hearing this, the bishop was noncommittal, but turned his gaze to Anna on the stage. Anna replied coldly: "I never asked them to surround me. On the contrary, I drove them away from me many times, but they As for their suicide in the end, it has nothing to do with me, and I have the right to refuse those people's pursuit."
"Oh, my child, of course you have." The bishop said, and then looked at the townspeople in the audience: "Do you have any other evidence? Those poor young people are not without the possibility of dying in love."
"How could so many people die for her!"
"Bishop, don't be fooled by her! She is always good at lying!"
Regarding these shouts, the bishop just smiled slightly and did not comment. An Ran carefully observed the bishop's expression, feeling more and more uncertain in her heart—Which side does the bishop stand on?If you trust Anna, why not release her?
At this time, the townspeople suddenly pushed out two people. They were wearing patched clothes and messy hair. They must be living in a very miserable life. The miracles they preached, if it wasn't Anna who deceived us, then they lied and deceived us for so many years!"
Those two people waved their hands again and again: "No, everything we said is true, how can we have the courage to claim miracles?"
"Did you really see the angel descending?" the townspeople asked urgently.
The couple nodded repeatedly: "It's absolutely true, it was indeed the two of us who saw it with our own eyes."
"Lie! If the angel really had this prophecy, why is Anna so old that no gods have picked her up yet? What are you talking about 'the most chaste and pure body', even if she was just born as 'the most chaste and pure' , has now also been infested by evil creatures!"
The anger of the townspeople seemed real, and the couple was taken aback by the yelling. They looked at Anna on the stand, and then at the bishop next to them. They expected that they would never live in peace if they didn’t get rid of their relationship today, so they gritted their teeth and admitted Said: "We have indeed seen the phantom of the angel descending, and heard the prophecy, but we are not sure whether our daughter has been infected by evil spirits, let the gods decide!"
"Are you sure? If the gods decide, I will throw your daughter into the fire." The bishop stared at them with a smile on his lips.
"Before the gods reveal it, we can't be sure if this is our daughter." They replied.
"Okay, but I still have to listen to other people's opinions... Is there any objection?" After the bishop asked, there was silence in the audience, no one spoke, and no one stood up. He smiled and asked again: "Is there any objection?" What about your suitors? Do you have any objections?"
"Please ask the gods to reveal whether she is a human or a demon. Before the gods make a decision, we cannot be sure whether our love for her comes from the heart or is bewitched by it." A young man responded.
"Okay." The bishop waved his hand and lit the torch: "Then please tell the gods whether this girl named Anna is a chaste and pure saint, or a demon full of lies—"
Under the instruction of the bishop, the guards stepped onto the high platform and tied Anna to the firewood. The latter turned her face away in disgust, closed her eyes, and moved her lips slightly, as if praying, while the townspeople in the audience But he said angrily, "Quickly execute her! She is cursing! She wants to attract evil spirits!"
"What's going on? The bishop wants to execute Anna?" An Ran was puzzled: "I remember that in the legend, after weighing the pros and cons, the bishop allowed Anna to enter the monastery out of caution!"
"Being cautious?" Lan Xin glanced at the girl on the high platform worriedly: "I don't see where the bishop is being cautious, he just wanted to kill Anna, and he didn't do it just because there was not enough evidence. None of them objected, and Anna's parents and suitors all changed their minds. If he is really cautious, he will definitely verify it carefully, and I don't see where she is a witch."
"Why did he want to kill Anna? He wouldn't really believe that Anna killed those people, would he? They obviously committed suicide!" Xu Heng scratched his head, stared at the bishop from a distance, and asked in confusion.
After the guards tied Anna up, they replied to the bishop: "My lord, you can ask the gods to learn from you."
"Oh my God, he won't really burn Anna to death!" An Ran yelled in her heart, seeing the bishop approaching with a torch, but Anna just closed her eyes and prayed, neither struggling nor calling for help, and immediately felt sorry for her. Squeezing a sweat, he couldn't say why, but he felt so worried, as if he was tied to the stake, and when the bishop let go of his hand and the torch fell, he didn't care and rushed directly He went out and chopped off the torch with a single blow.
"An Ran, what are you doing!" Lan Xin and Xu Heng were terrified, why did An Ran run out suddenly, without any warning at all!
An Ran didn't know why he rushed out suddenly. He trembled all over when he saw that Anna was going to be executed. In public.
There was a commotion among the townspeople below the stage, and the guards pointed their spears at him and shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing here!"
"I, I..." An Ran choked out twice, looked back at Anna on the woodpile, and then at the dark crowd of townspeople below the stage, straightened her body, and replied loudly: "I am her." One of my admirers, I believe that she is the true most pure saintess, a monk chosen by God, if you persecute her, the gods will be furious."
Anna opened her eyes, took a deep look at him, and frowned: "It's you..."
She seemed to recognize this person who had a close relationship with her.
"Are you her admirer?" The bishop raised his hand to stop the guards who wanted to come forward, and squinted his eyes to look at An Ran: "I know every townsman here, but I have never seen you—with all due respect , are you a traveler from outside? As a foreigner, what position do you have to meddle in Anna's affairs?"
"I know she is not that kind of person. Don't listen to those people. She will be inspired by the gods in the future. If you insist on doing this, you will regret it!"
What An Ran said was impassioned, but the bishop smiled indifferently after hearing it: "Is that so? A foreigner who speaks outrageously, I want to see how you make me regret it."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and a dozen guards came out behind him, holding their spears and rushing towards An Ran. In the blood moon book, the power is really very little. Seeing that the guards are nothing special, it is only when they actually face them that they can see their strength. Under the heavy siege, An Ran feels that he is at a disadvantage after only a few moves. Seeing that he was invincible, Xu Heng and Lan Xin rushed to the stage and drew their weapons to join the battle.
Xu Heng's weapon is an epee, which looks familiar. It seems to be a paladin's epee obtained in the Baicheng defense battle. Every time he swung it, it was accompanied by a sharp brilliance.As for Lan Xin, she is still holding the handle crossbow. The arrows on it are infinitely looping, replenished every time she shoots, and under the blessing of her strength, each arrow has
Isn't this the Blood Moon World?
Don't you have to reach 10 points to get in?
Why is Xu Heng here!
That's right, that person turned out to be Senior Brother Xu Heng whom he hadn't seen for a long time!
"...Brother?" An Ran wasn't sure, so she tried to shout, but she didn't expect that the other party really turned her head back, and after seeing him clearly, she rushed over in surprise: "I'm not mistaken, it's actually An Ran!"
An Ran still had doubts in her heart. Seeing him rushing towards him, she subconsciously evaded: "Senior brother, why are you here? When I saw you in the coffee shop last time, didn't you use up all your points?"
An Ran clearly remembered that he and Xu Heng had met at Dorothy's coffee shop after the end of the copy at the plastic surgery hospital. At that time, Xu Heng used all his points to upgrade item cards!How did you get another 10 points so quickly?
Is this person really Xu Heng?
Xu Heng still looked carefree, and didn't see the guard in An Ran's eyes at all. He scratched his head and said, "That's right, I didn't have many points, and I upgraded the item card several times. The points have already been used up."
"Then why are you here? Didn't Dorothy say that you need at least 10 points to enter the Blood Moon World...Wait, do you know this is the Blood Moon World?" With a confused face, he asked hastily.
Xu Heng nodded again and again: "I know, I know, look, isn't this the invitation letter from Blood Moon World? I found it on me!"
As he said that, he also pulled out a crumpled piece of letter paper from his sleeve, An Ran took it over and glanced at it, it was the same as his own invitation letter, it also said "Demon Hunter".
An Ran changed the letter paper back, and asked again: "Then how did you get involved in the blood moon world? Can you get in even if you don't have enough points?"
Xu Heng replied: "No, I have enough points. Isn't the entry point 10? I just have 10 points!"
"What?" An Ran frowned: "Didn't you just say that all the points have been upgraded to item cards? Why do you have another 10 points? Where did you get so many points?"
Xu Heng said, "Dorothy gave it to us!"
"Dorothy?!" An Ran's heart trembled when he heard the name. He hadn't forgotten that it was this person who deceived him ruthlessly in the last dungeon. In the end, he managed to catch her, but he didn't pass the level. A reminder of success, but an invitation from hell.
"Last time she called Lan Xin and me over, saying that she had a very dangerous task to do, basically it could be said that there was no return, and after we met once, she transferred all the leftovers to us , I didn’t want those item cards or anything, and I was short of points at the time, so I asked her if she could transfer some points to me, and she agreed, and directly transferred 100000 points to me.”
While recalling, Xu Heng added: "But those points are useless. It seems that they can't upgrade items. What's called 'locked points'? What's the 'Blood Moon World'... before I figured out what was going on, I found myself in this dungeon!"
"Dorothy swiped the lock points for you?" An Ran murmured and repeated, she couldn't believe it: "Why did she do that?"
She said it was to help him, but gave him unusable locked points, and it just happened to be 10... She said it was to harm him, what did Dorothy want to do with this move?
Who is in charge of all this?Why target them?
An Ran frowned and fell into deep thought, and Xu Heng added another sentence: "It's not just me who collected her points, Lan Xin seems to have received it too, I heard her scream just now!"
"You said that the woman who screamed just now was Lan Xin?" An Ran thought about it carefully, the scream just now seemed really familiar, it might be Lan Xin's.
Only in this way, everything becomes more dangerous... This is the blood moon world, not their K University campus, so how can they be so destined that they can get together?
What's more, Xu Heng also said just now that he was able to enter here because he received Dorothy's locked points, and Lan Xin was the same... And Dorothy is obviously not the administrator who has been guiding them and helping them all the time Now, after thinking about it carefully, all she did in the last dungeon was to lure him into a trap!
She just wanted to receive that deadly customs clearance gift for herself!
And all of this points to the rose she is loyal to... The Demon King of Lust!
What exactly does His Majesty want to do?Step by step, all the traps were exhausted, just to lure him into the blood moon world?
Then why do you do something to Xu Heng and the others... just because they are more familiar with you?
Only these two people were recruited, or...
Xie Yi's face flashed across An Ran's mind——
In terms of closeness and familiarity, Xu Heng Lanxin doesn't count, Xie Yi should be the first one, right?
Now that Xu Heng and the others have been pulled into the blood moon world, where is Xie Yi?Is he here too?
When An Ran was thinking hard, Xu Heng tugged at his clothes and shouted, "Look quickly! Isn't that Lan Xin! What monster is following her!"
An Ran looked up, and sure enough, she saw that familiar figure. Her long hair was disheveled and she was very embarrassed. Although she was far away, it was not difficult to recognize that it was Lan Xin.
She was holding a hand crossbow, and while running towards this direction, she turned her head and shot arrows. When she looked closely, there was a pale monster chasing behind her. A little damage was done, and after a while, she was panting tiredly, and her steps became heavy.
"Help! Ah... help me!" She saw An Ran and Xu Heng in the distance, her eyes lit up, and she quickly waved and shouted.
"Stab it in the stomach!" An Ran yelled, and at the same time ran towards her quickly, waved her hand with a knife, and the dark green devilish energy swept through the air like a whirlwind, directly cutting off the monster's head, and the monster hissed , the footsteps became messy, because he couldn't tell the direction, he wobbled so much that he was about to fall.
"Lan Xin, shoot it in the stomach!" An Ran shouted at her.
Lan Xin turned sideways when she heard the words, taking advantage of the monster's dizziness and not knowing what was going on, she shot an arrow into its huge swollen belly, the monster let out a stern roar, and An Ran quickly shouted again: "Lan Xin, stay away point!"
Lan Xin just ran more than ten meters away when she heard a "bang", a large amount of black and yellow mucus spewed out, splashing everywhere, but after the huge belly was completely dried up, the monster's screams stopped abruptly, and then went to see At that time, both the monster and the slime disappeared completely.
"Oh my god, what kind of monster is that!" Xu Heng was disgusted by the mucus just now, and subconsciously covered his nose: "Lan Xin screamed just because she was chased by it!"
As he was talking, Lan Xin had already walked over. Seeing someone she was familiar with, she seemed relieved, and let out a heavy breath: "It's a good thing you are here, otherwise I would have to be torn apart by that monster."
"I didn't expect that the three of us would meet here." She sighed with a smile: "The last time we got together, we were still a group of newbies who shot the moon. Who would have thought that seeing each other now would be in the legendary In the blood moon world?"
An Ran smiled wryly and said, "I'm also a novice now, and I didn't come in because of my strength, I just got 10 locked points out of nowhere."
Lan Xin said helplessly: "Who isn't? I didn't expect that Dorothy left me and said that she had something to give to me, but in the end she gave me these life-threatening points..."
"I just woke up and went to read the invitation letter, but the monster rushed out. At first, I relied on my own strength to fight it, but it was useless even if it broke its neck. It scared me. Run quickly, if I don't meet you, I don't know what to do."
Lan Xin recalled the frightening moment just now, and still has lingering fears: "I didn't expect the monsters here to be so powerful. I was forced to come in because I had enough points. I didn't make any preparations before, and the props were not high enough. Dealing with these monsters is really difficult." Overwhelmed."
An Ran comforted: "Don't think so, although these monsters are fierce, they are not without weaknesses. Monsters like the one just now have thicker skin and more blood. You just need to aim at their stomachs and hit them, and they can be easily solved. Lost."
Lan Xin nodded: "That's right... By the way, what are the reminders on your invitation letter? Mine mentioned 'gravekeeper', do you know what it is?"
"Gravekeeper?" An Ran wondered, isn't their invitation letter the same?
Xu Heng was even more puzzled, took out his invitation letter and read it again: "Where is there such a 'gravekeeper', why didn't I write this?"
Lan Xin glanced at the invitation letter he was holding, and couldn't help but say, "Xu Heng, do you know that this invitation letter has a back? It also has words on the back."
"Ah?" Xu Heng was taken aback, and hastily turned over the letter paper. Sure enough, seeing a few lines written on it, An Ran also moved over, and found that the prompt on it was really different from his own!
It says:
[The sweet nectar is as golden and attractive as amber. This is a generous gift from the devil. No one can refuse this exquisite delicacy. 】
[But who would have thought that gluttony is also a kind of original sin? 】
[God punished them to suffer from hunger forever, but the devil thought that perhaps disemboweling them was the best choice. 】
[The faint blue light burns the foolish and ignorant souls, traveler who travels a long way,
Do not take it lightly, or you will unleash sin. 】
"Greedy is also a kind of original sin..." An Ran read on: "The torture of hunger...but the devil thinks...opening up..."
"According to this reminder, those monsters...that is, the townspeople who committed crimes, because they were punished, they turned into starving ghosts...and to get rid of them, you need to 'open their stomachs', That is to attack their huge belly..."
"The faint blue light burns the foolish and ignorant souls..." An Ran looked around, only to see the light of hundreds of lanterns flickering, and the blue flames danced wildly in the wind, as if they were watching their eyes.
"Wait, what does this sentence mean? 'Ghostly blue light'? Could it be referring to these lanterns?" Xu Heng shuddered, thinking that he had touched the lantern just now, and suddenly felt a chill.
"This reminder tells us - first, don't touch the lanterns at the door, otherwise the monster will be released; second, the stomach is the monster's weak point. If you want to kill them, you must attack their huge belly." Lan Xin finished speaking, and then He took out his own invitation letter and showed the reminder behind it to the two of them:
[Where the bell echoes, bathe in the dawn and stand quietly.
This is where the name of the town comes from. 】
[In front of the statue is the weeping Madonna, where she buried her flesh and blood.
May all love and hatred vanish and their souls rest in oblivion. 】
[The keeper of the tomb looks at him all day long, from his youth until his pale face and gray hair.
Perhaps, he would give the witchers a message? 】
"This……"
Compared with Xu Heng's prompt, these few lines of Lan Xin's prompt are much more difficult to decipher. After reading it for a long time, An Ran didn't understand what she meant, so she could only guess: "The last sentence is for us to find the gravekeeper. ? So...we're going to find the cemetery?"
But where is the cemetery?Simply clueless.
"Wait, look at this sentence - this is the origin of the name of the town... What is the name of the town?"
"Easter town?" An Ran frowned: "I heard it from a townsman before the blood moon."
"Easter Town?" Lan Xin was also confused: "The origin of this name? Is it Easter Island? Or is it an altar related to Easter?"
She didn't believe it after she said it.
An Ran carefully recalled the conversation with the stonemason, and suddenly remembered the tattered stone tablet——
On the stele it is written:
Church Town!
"Church! This sentence refers to the church!" An Ran took the invitation letter excitedly, and pointed it out to them: "'Where the bells echo' - the place where the bell just rang is the church! This town was originally called Church Town, I don't know Why did the townsman insist that this place is called Easter Town...so if the original name came from, it must be the church!"
"The church..." Lan Xin's eyes lit up after hearing his explanation, "That's right, if it's the place where the bell is ringing, it may indeed be the bell tower of the church... There may also be a cemetery and statues beside the church. "
"The first sentence and the last sentence are understood, but what's so interesting about the second game?" Xu Heng listened to their explanation, reacted for a while, nodded half-understood, and pointed to the second sentence:
[In front of the statue is the weeping Madonna, where she buried her flesh and blood.
May all love and hatred vanish and their souls rest in oblivion. 】
"This..." An Ran couldn't understand it after reading it for a long time, so she could only put it aside: "Just looking at the literal meaning, it seems that the Holy Mother buried her child here. I don't understand."
Lan Xin didn't understand the deep meaning of this sentence, so she let it go and asked An Ran: "What's your hint?"
An Ran took out her invitation letter, flipped it to the back and showed it to them, and said, "I probably mean that the leading demon king of this dungeon is Taotie. Since it is the blood moon book, it is the domain of a certain demon king. That is to say, this demon king must exist in the dungeon, and it is a customs clearance boss, we can’t get out unless we get rid of the demon king.”
"How is it possible? Get rid of a demon king? Stop joking!" Xu Heng wailed, "No. 4 in the Baicheng dungeon will scare me to death, okay? Who would have thought that such a white and tender young lady would be frightening Greedy Demon King! My hind legs are weak after teleportation, and here comes another Demon King, I will just clean up and die!"
After reading the reminder, Lan Xin also had a sad face on her face: "It is indeed the gluttonous demon king. Although Dorothy said that the gluttonous demon king is relatively weak among the seven demon kings, since he can rank among the demon kings, it must be No matter how weak it is, it won’t be too weak, not to mention that when I fought against that monster just now, I feel that it has improved by more than one level compared to before. It is not easy for us to clear this blood moon book.”
An Ran nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "I heard the NPC mentioned 'Church Town' in the Baicheng dungeon before, they said that the first thing the devil came back with the fire of hell was revenge... and revenge is From 'Cathedral Town', it seems like everyone has degenerated into monsters - including the Bishop!"
"The devil? Revenge?" Lan Xin digested the information, and her brows became tighter and tighter: "If the bishop has degenerated into a monster... then can we still go to the church? It should not be safe there!"
Xu Heng interjected, "We don't need to go to the bishop, but go directly to the gravekeeper."
Lan Xin nodded, but she was still worried: "But this town is really weird... When I was teleported in just now, I saw a group of ragged people running towards the east angrily, shouting slogans while running ...It seems to be talking about 'blood debts'...It really scared me to death!"
"East?" Of course, An Ran knew who these people were. They were the townspeople who clamored to execute Anna. When they were here, they said they were going to the church to expose Anna's crimes, but Lan Xin said they were going to the east. , then there is no doubt that the church should be on the east side!
"Quick, let's go there too!" An Ran pointed to the east: "Those people went to the church to find the priest, we can find the church by going there!"
Unexpectedly, just as they were about to leave, the sky and the earth suddenly began to shake again. The high-hanging blood moon vibrated in the air, as if it was about to fall at any moment. Staggering, he fell backward suddenly, bumping into the lantern at the door.
She still remembered the reminder on the invitation letter, lest the faint blue light would go out, she hurried forward to give a hand, but at this moment, a withered finger suddenly protruded from the gap in the door and pulled it over. Her wrist was violently pulled inward.
The incident happened suddenly, and none of them were prepared. Lan Xin's arm was scratched bloody by the monster's sharp claw. Xin pulled it away, and the monster in the hut desperately hit the door panel, roaring and trying to rush out.
At the same time, the night wind that had calmed down suddenly howled. Hundreds of lanterns flickered, blue flames danced in the strong wind, and the doors and windows of all the huts were violently hit. There are skinny faces, their huge and empty eyes are shining with a terrifying blue light, and at the places where the doors and windows are broken, there are even branches-like arms stretched out, and they are waving sharp fingers and claws randomly, It was as if he couldn't wait to devour them.
"What's going on? Why did those monsters suddenly become agitated?" Lan Xin covered the wound on her arm with a solemn expression: "We didn't move those lanterns either, why did they react so much?"
An Ran raised her head and looked at the sky, only to see that round of blood moon appearing and disappearing, rounding and fading, behind the cloudy clouds, there seemed to be some light shining through, maybe it was because of dizziness, but An Ran seemed to see a few dim stars.
Is it...
"It's such a shock again..." Before An Ran finished speaking, she heard faint bells coming from the east, one after another, long and heavy, as if calling them to go.
"This is so similar to the scene before the blood moon! Before the blood moon, you heard the bell first, then felt the vibration, and then the so-called 'stars fall, the blood moon is in the sky' happened. The bell should remind the townspeople Hide in the house, or you will turn into a monster..."
An Ran analyzed: "But this time there was a tremor first, and then there was a bell... Does this mean that the blood moon fell and the stars reappeared?"
Before the words fell, accompanied by a sharp sound of rubbing, the blood moon that was originally suspended in the sky suddenly began to fall. The scorching high temperature and dazzling red light made them unable to open their eyes at all. Under this evil and terrifying coercion, They had to bend down and cover their heads, hoping to escape the heat.
At the same time, the sound of impacts all around became more and more violent. Those monsters seemed to be crazy, screaming desperately to break through the door, An Ran covered his ears, and struggled to identify the direction in the wind and blood mist. It took a long time to find it. Xu Heng and Lan Xin were also in pain.
Just when they were about to lose their hold, a beam of holy white light gently shone on their bodies through the blood, directly isolating the noise and pain. Only then did An Ran remember that she still had a star lamp, and quickly turned it on. It took it out and shouted in Xu Heng's direction: "I'm here!"
When they saw the white light in the blood mist, they immediately moved closer. At this time, the blood moon had completely fallen below the horizon, and the vast sky was like a pure black velvet curtain. Something is missing.
Just as An Ran was thinking this way, in the next second, countless stars suddenly appeared on the sky, like broken diamonds dropped by someone with a wave, shining and crystal clear, but appearing strangely.
"how come……"
With the appearance of those stars, the blood mist between the sky and the earth immediately dissipated completely. The soft starlight shone on the glass lantern, as if coated with a gentle warm color. , There was a moment of silence in the town.
"Those monsters..." Lan Xin just wanted to ask something, when she heard the sound of the door opening behind her, she was so frightened that she drew out her hand crossbow and turned around vigilantly. It's a girl who looks just like herself.
Just as she was hesitating about what to do, the doors of the surrounding huts opened one after another, and one after another stretched out of the house, saying hello to each other.
"Hey, how did you sleep last night?"
"To be honest, it's not very practical. As for the reason, you know." The other person sniffed, and his tone was very dissatisfied: "As long as I think of an evil witch hiding in our town, I can't sleep because of anger." , not even the sound of a bell can calm me down!"
"Didn't you expose her crimes with Bishop Philip yesterday? Didn't the bishop agree to execute her?" The man was very surprised: "I thought the bishop had had enough of this bad girl full of lies! Her words and deeds are frivolous, and her behavior Debauchery, flirting with each other all day long, fascinated those poor teenagers, and dared to falsely preach the oracle, the crime is not only to seduce the youth? The bishop should have executed her long ago!"
The other person shook his head angrily: "The bishop still has some scruples, God, who would have thought that someone would be so bold, and would be so determined to tell this lie from birth?"
"But in fact, she is so bold, because she is not a chaste and pure girl at all, but a vicious witch who is good at deceiving people. She came to the town to pretend to be the Virgin. We cast a curse!"
"Today we must convince the bishop, and we must execute her!" More and more people gathered around, shouting excitedly: "She killed those youths, and she must be paid with blood!"
"Here we go again." Lan Xin looked at the group of people and sighed, "I also saw them shouting slogans before, saying that they were going to hunt down a witch named Anna."
"But she is not a witch, she is the future His Royal Highness Santa Ana." An Ran hid in the shadows, paying close attention to the dynamics of the group of people, and saw that they became more and more excited as they talked. If you don't know this history, just listen to their description If so, An Ran might really regard Anna as a heinous witch.
The group gathered together, discussing loudly how to subdue Anna, a vicious witch, and they came up with a poisonous plan in order to let the bishop execute Anna directly——
"We can go to her house, call her parents, and let them admit that those prophecies are all false, the result of being bewitched by their daughter, there are no angels, and there are no descendants of gods, only the abyss and nightmares."
"Go find two more young people and ask them to testify that it was indeed Anna who cast a spell to confuse them. The reason why those people committed suicide was all instigated by the witch, not because of their own stupidity."
After they figured out a way, they laughed and split up. An Ran looked at the back of them leaving, frowned, and said to Lan Xin and Xu Heng: "They are going to murder Anna. Let's go to the church now and see what happened. Something happened!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran to the east. The two people were stunned for a moment and quickly followed, but Lan Xin still didn't understand: "Are we going to take care of this? Isn't this the domain of the gluttonous demon king? What does it have to do with the Holy Mother?"
"I don't know, I just have this premonition... There is no mission introduction right now, only a few hints... Anyway, we are going to the church, so we'll see it later!"
"When—when—"
The bell struck thirteen times.
Anna was burnt to the stake by the angry townspeople. A woman whose son had died cried unceasingly. When she saw her, she rushed up excitedly and shook her body fiercely: "It's you! It's you, the wicked witch, You killed my child! He is the only one, how vicious your heart is!"
"Burn her! Burn her!" roared the angry townspeople below.
"Quiet!"
Although the bishop was old, he was still full of vigor, his voice was like a bell, and he was full of majesty. As soon as he spoke, the clamoring townspeople immediately fell silent, and two nuns in black robes came out from behind him, crying out of breath. The humble woman sent her to the audience.
The bishop's skin was already wrinkled, but his eyes were still clear and sharp. His gaze swept across Anna and then fell on everyone in the audience. Although his tone was soft, he was full of majesty: "My lamb Ladies, what do you ask me to do when you are not at home praising the grace of God?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, looking at each other, hesitating whether to stand up or not, at this time, the woman just now cried bitterly: "Bishop! The person on the stage has been possessed by the devil, she is the one who bewitched my son, put them To the abyss of death!"
As soon as the words came out, the others responded immediately: "Yes! Those poor people who committed suicide were instigated by her. She deliberately attracted those young people to gather around her, just to push them to death!"
After hearing this, the bishop was noncommittal, but turned his gaze to Anna on the stage. Anna replied coldly: "I never asked them to surround me. On the contrary, I drove them away from me many times, but they As for their suicide in the end, it has nothing to do with me, and I have the right to refuse those people's pursuit."
"Oh, my child, of course you have." The bishop said, and then looked at the townspeople in the audience: "Do you have any other evidence? Those poor young people are not without the possibility of dying in love."
"How could so many people die for her!"
"Bishop, don't be fooled by her! She is always good at lying!"
Regarding these shouts, the bishop just smiled slightly and did not comment. An Ran carefully observed the bishop's expression, feeling more and more uncertain in her heart—Which side does the bishop stand on?If you trust Anna, why not release her?
At this time, the townspeople suddenly pushed out two people. They were wearing patched clothes and messy hair. They must be living in a very miserable life. The miracles they preached, if it wasn't Anna who deceived us, then they lied and deceived us for so many years!"
Those two people waved their hands again and again: "No, everything we said is true, how can we have the courage to claim miracles?"
"Did you really see the angel descending?" the townspeople asked urgently.
The couple nodded repeatedly: "It's absolutely true, it was indeed the two of us who saw it with our own eyes."
"Lie! If the angel really had this prophecy, why is Anna so old that no gods have picked her up yet? What are you talking about 'the most chaste and pure body', even if she was just born as 'the most chaste and pure' , has now also been infested by evil creatures!"
The anger of the townspeople seemed real, and the couple was taken aback by the yelling. They looked at Anna on the stand, and then at the bishop next to them. They expected that they would never live in peace if they didn’t get rid of their relationship today, so they gritted their teeth and admitted Said: "We have indeed seen the phantom of the angel descending, and heard the prophecy, but we are not sure whether our daughter has been infected by evil spirits, let the gods decide!"
"Are you sure? If the gods decide, I will throw your daughter into the fire." The bishop stared at them with a smile on his lips.
"Before the gods reveal it, we can't be sure if this is our daughter." They replied.
"Okay, but I still have to listen to other people's opinions... Is there any objection?" After the bishop asked, there was silence in the audience, no one spoke, and no one stood up. He smiled and asked again: "Is there any objection?" What about your suitors? Do you have any objections?"
"Please ask the gods to reveal whether she is a human or a demon. Before the gods make a decision, we cannot be sure whether our love for her comes from the heart or is bewitched by it." A young man responded.
"Okay." The bishop waved his hand and lit the torch: "Then please tell the gods whether this girl named Anna is a chaste and pure saint, or a demon full of lies—"
Under the instruction of the bishop, the guards stepped onto the high platform and tied Anna to the firewood. The latter turned her face away in disgust, closed her eyes, and moved her lips slightly, as if praying, while the townspeople in the audience But he said angrily, "Quickly execute her! She is cursing! She wants to attract evil spirits!"
"What's going on? The bishop wants to execute Anna?" An Ran was puzzled: "I remember that in the legend, after weighing the pros and cons, the bishop allowed Anna to enter the monastery out of caution!"
"Being cautious?" Lan Xin glanced at the girl on the high platform worriedly: "I don't see where the bishop is being cautious, he just wanted to kill Anna, and he didn't do it just because there was not enough evidence. None of them objected, and Anna's parents and suitors all changed their minds. If he is really cautious, he will definitely verify it carefully, and I don't see where she is a witch."
"Why did he want to kill Anna? He wouldn't really believe that Anna killed those people, would he? They obviously committed suicide!" Xu Heng scratched his head, stared at the bishop from a distance, and asked in confusion.
After the guards tied Anna up, they replied to the bishop: "My lord, you can ask the gods to learn from you."
"Oh my God, he won't really burn Anna to death!" An Ran yelled in her heart, seeing the bishop approaching with a torch, but Anna just closed her eyes and prayed, neither struggling nor calling for help, and immediately felt sorry for her. Squeezing a sweat, he couldn't say why, but he felt so worried, as if he was tied to the stake, and when the bishop let go of his hand and the torch fell, he didn't care and rushed directly He went out and chopped off the torch with a single blow.
"An Ran, what are you doing!" Lan Xin and Xu Heng were terrified, why did An Ran run out suddenly, without any warning at all!
An Ran didn't know why he rushed out suddenly. He trembled all over when he saw that Anna was going to be executed. In public.
There was a commotion among the townspeople below the stage, and the guards pointed their spears at him and shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing here!"
"I, I..." An Ran choked out twice, looked back at Anna on the woodpile, and then at the dark crowd of townspeople below the stage, straightened her body, and replied loudly: "I am her." One of my admirers, I believe that she is the true most pure saintess, a monk chosen by God, if you persecute her, the gods will be furious."
Anna opened her eyes, took a deep look at him, and frowned: "It's you..."
She seemed to recognize this person who had a close relationship with her.
"Are you her admirer?" The bishop raised his hand to stop the guards who wanted to come forward, and squinted his eyes to look at An Ran: "I know every townsman here, but I have never seen you—with all due respect , are you a traveler from outside? As a foreigner, what position do you have to meddle in Anna's affairs?"
"I know she is not that kind of person. Don't listen to those people. She will be inspired by the gods in the future. If you insist on doing this, you will regret it!"
What An Ran said was impassioned, but the bishop smiled indifferently after hearing it: "Is that so? A foreigner who speaks outrageously, I want to see how you make me regret it."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and a dozen guards came out behind him, holding their spears and rushing towards An Ran. In the blood moon book, the power is really very little. Seeing that the guards are nothing special, it is only when they actually face them that they can see their strength. Under the heavy siege, An Ran feels that he is at a disadvantage after only a few moves. Seeing that he was invincible, Xu Heng and Lan Xin rushed to the stage and drew their weapons to join the battle.
Xu Heng's weapon is an epee, which looks familiar. It seems to be a paladin's epee obtained in the Baicheng defense battle. Every time he swung it, it was accompanied by a sharp brilliance.As for Lan Xin, she is still holding the handle crossbow. The arrows on it are infinitely looping, replenished every time she shoots, and under the blessing of her strength, each arrow has
