Did the lord get rid of poverty and become rich today?

There are 11 girls in the royal choir, which are looked after by 3 nuns.

And two months ago, there were 12 girls here.

"Two months ago, Daniela was killed." Bella walked in front, with her back to Qiao Yi and Lando, and led them towards the deep and dark corridor, "She was at a banquet He seduced a rich businessman, and when the rich businessman was fascinated by her, he proposed to let her leave in the rich businessman's carriage."

"But the merchant betrayed her and told it to Sister Teddy, who told the king. So she died."

Bella's voice had no emotional ups and downs, only deathly calm.

In her calm narration, the dark and unknown past slowly lifted the dirty veil.

Their choir originally came from a small southern town.They were all orphans in the poorhouse.

One day, people from the church came to the door, hoping to pick some little girls to go to the monastery to sing for the God of Light.

Life in the almshouse was very hard. They were often hungry and cold, and had to take care of younger siblings. Many people were moved when they heard that there were clean beds, warm winter clothes and sufficient food in the monastery.

The dean also thought the monastery was a good place and readily agreed.

The two years in the monastery were indeed the happiest time of their lives.

Until they were taken to the palace and called the royal choir.

They thought that they were blessed by the God of Light, so they came to the palace with this honor.

The other little sisters in the monastery can only go to the noble manor.

But what awaited them was a locked dark hall, cold blades, and endless torture.

At two o'clock in the morning on every full moon night, they would be dragged to a strange altar on the third basement floor of the church, and their wrists would be cut open and bloodletted.

It is said that this is a wonderful method widely circulated among nobles

On the night of the full moon every month, let the blood of twelve maidens flow into the altar at midnight, then soak the crow's feathers, bat's eyeballs and toad's tongue in the blood, dry it up, take it out and burn it, and the ashes are soaked in the blood. Taking it in water can prevent evil spirits from approaching and prolong life.

After three years, eat the hearts of these twelve "sacrifices" and persist for a long time to gain longevity. It is said that the long-lived patriarch of the Trian family lived for nearly 300 years by this method.

Immortality is like poison to those who hold power, and it can defeat the reason in people's hearts in an instant.

It turns the obsession with power in one's hands into a real blade, and the blade is aimed at one innocent life after another.

Bella rolled up her sleeves.

Apart from the bruises left by the tall nun, the delicate arms were covered with horrible scars.

"King Andre... is a pervert." Bella said, "He likes to beat people and use a whip."

Andre's queen was the daughter of a great noble family, so it was inconvenient to use violence, so these helpless little girls became the best targets for violence.

The nuns who guarded them didn't know this, because the nuns were thrown out when the king came.

One of the tall nuns, Teddy, tried to climb into the king's bed, but she failed.

After the king took her virginity, he left her here and never cared about her again.

As a result, Teddy, who was abandoned, often abused the girls in the choir, and even the other two nuns were slapped by her.

They also thought about asking for help from the only nun who could help them contact the outside world, but since the kind nun who promised to help was beaten to death by Andre, they never dared again.

The girls stopped trying to save themselves, and the nuns chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb even if they sensed something.

Until two months ago, Daniela was betrayed by a businessman, and finally pushed to a dead end by Teddy.

The furious king dragged her to the altar by her hair, whipped Daniela half to death in front of everyone, and then bluntly drained her blood.

Until now, Daniela's body is still crucified on the altar.

Andre, who was overwhelmed by anger, realized that one of the twelve girls was missing after beating Daniela to death, and the ceremony could not continue in its entirety.

This time he set his sights on the children of the convent of San Marco—the same group of children, mostly from the poorhouse.

"The new sacrifice is here, and we will probably be killed before long." Bella looked up at Lando and Joe, bit her lip, and stared at her toes, "I'm sorry, but you Get involved. I just... tried it out, I didn't expect you guys would actually come."

"I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry. We just want to... live."

Lando was silent for a long time, and finally just patted Bella's head and shook his head.

The corridors of the church had a complex structure, and they were led by Berna for a long time before reaching a locked door.

Joe opened the door with the key he got from Teddy.

The dim light on the wall outside the door entered the dark room.

Twelve beds were neatly arranged in the room, but ten little girls huddled together in a corner in horror, eyes that should have been clear looked at the door in horror, almost screaming in the next second .

Bei Na came out from behind Qiao Yi and Lando, looked at the trembling partners, the little girl who calmly seemed to be describing someone else's life along the way, suddenly there were big tears in her eyes: "We don't have to die gone."

……

On the way to escape with the girl from the choir, Qiao Yi had already figured out where to take the blame.

The group of pagans who like to set fire to grab girls that I heard at the banquet are undoubtedly the best candidates to take the blame.

Before going out, Joe One planned to take out the children of St. Mark's choir, who were locked up on the other side.

What Qiao Yi didn't expect was that they ran into their uncle in the corridor of the church.

Behind the uncle, followed by a group of tall and short little girls who were still in shock—they were the children of the St. Mark's choir.

The uncle and nephew met each other in the corridor, staring at each other.

The atmosphere froze for two seconds, and the two spoke at the same time, saying the same sentence: "Ah, you have been saved."

Joe One: "..."

Carl: "..."

silence.

The two teams walked forward silently.

"Come with me, there are people outside to meet you." Carl spoke first.

"where is it?"

"To the southwest of the palace, there is a palace under construction over there. There are no people at night. You can go out from there."

Joe twitched his lips.

Coincidentally, he thought so too.So Barton and the others will wait there after setting the fire.

The two groups of people shouldn't fight... right?

When they arrived at the main hall, Lorraine and two other women in nun clothes stood at the door.

There were two other nuns lying in the main hall, their coats had been stripped off, and they fell unconscious at the feet of the God of Light.

——It seems that the clothes on those two people were ripped off from them.

Lorraine was obviously taken aback when he saw Qiao Yi and Lando.

When Bella bumped into the elf and caused a commotion, Lorraine noticed it, but he didn't think much about it at the time.

Now it seems that the girl should have taken the opportunity to ask for help.

The chaos outside the church continued, and there was even a tendency to intensify.

The entire palace has almost become a sea of ​​flames, with fire points everywhere.

Lorraine looked at the huge fire that obviously exceeded expectations, and his eyes fell on Qiao Yi: "Did you set the fire?"

Qiao Yi: "..." nodded.

Lorraine pushed his glasses: "It's nothing. The person I sent out to set the fire told me that there was another wave of people also setting the fire."

Joe One: "..."

"At the beginning, when my people were about to set the fire, they thought they had been discovered, and almost got into a fight with them."

Joe One: "..."

"It's not good! The fire is burning to the front! There is a banquet tonight, and it's full of noble lords!! Come on the fucking people≌卢口口鹏吹叫古姐打虹世世〉The front of the eyes is full of scorpions People!! Hurry up and put out the fire!

From nowhere came a hoarse cry.

The palace, which was already in chaos, suddenly exploded into a mess.

Qiao Yi looked around at the guards who completely ignored them and ran to fight the fire on their own, and fell silent for a while.

...Forget it, light a candle for Andre.

After this meal was burned, most of the family property was burned away.

Everyone was running wild, and the children led by the nun did not arouse any suspicion.

With such a big fire, it would be strange if the king didn't order the nuns to move with the choir.

A group of people walked through the fire area without any risk, and soon came to the southwest corner.

The city wall was very high, and there were a few guards lying under the wall, their necks were tilted at a strange angle, and they seemed to have died of having their necks broken.

Several girls were so frightened that they cried, and Karl and the two women rushed to coax them.

Lorraine held his forehead, and then went out neatly and disappeared.

Soon, several bamboo baskets tied by ropes were thrown over the wall, carrying the children across the wall.

On the top of the wall, Barton's big head protruded together, blushing and yelling at Joe anxiously: "My lord, someone wants to snatch our child!! I can't beat them even if they are women! What should I do

Joe One: "..."

Qiao Yi: "It's okay, their purpose is the same as ours."

Barton scratched his head, although he was a little puzzled when he had a bunch of accomplices, but he nodded obediently: "...Oh."

More than 20 children were sent out one after another.

Both Lorraine and Qiao Yi planned to take the children to leave the royal city tonight.

Joe looked back at the fire scene over there, and the glazed spire of the church shone dazzlingly under the reflection of the fire.

"Lando." Qiao Yi suddenly tugged at the corner of Lando's clothes.

Lando turned to look at him.

"Come back to church with me."

"it is good."

Did not ask what to do, nor why.

He will always trust Qiao Yi unconditionally.

When they returned to the vicinity of the church, most of the fire in the treasure building had been extinguished.

Andre was jumping and cursing in front of the ruins, swearing that the damned heathen would die without a burial.

Qiao Yi and Lando bypassed the furious Andre far away and returned to the church.

The two nuns who were lying in the main hall had long since disappeared. Only the statue of the God of Light stood quietly in the main hall, looking down at the visitors.

But as soon as Joe knew it, right here, at the feet of the gods, in that altar, there were piles of blood and bones.

As soon as Joe stepped forward, he put his palm on the cold gilded instep of the God of Light.

God?

Ah.

God never saves anything.

Only man himself can save man.

The only one who can turn a man into a devil is man himself.

Qiao Yi mixed a pack of explosives from the system and placed it at the foot of the statue, and looked up at the downcast eyes of the God of Light.

"Let's go."

The two figures left the church silently.

In a certain room, Teddy, who was knocked unconscious by a brick, woke up holding his head.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Before he could finish speaking, he heard an earth-shattering loud noise.

"boom------"

With the deafening noise and billowing smoke, the royal church that had stood in Olga's palace for hundreds of years collapsed in an instant.

The broken statue of the God of Light lay in pieces in the ruins, and the gold-plated pieces on the body were peeled off, revealing the mottled gray-black interior under the resplendent golden shell.

Everyone was stupefied by the sudden change, they stood dumbfounded in the smoke and flames, their mouths half-opened, and they stared dumbfounded at the collapsed church.

Andre looked at the ruins and broken statues in front of him, his legs softened, and he knelt down on the ground blankly.

At the same time, fires broke out in many churches in Olga City, and thick smoke billowed everywhere.

The nobles attending the meeting, especially the lords from other places, chose to carry the carriage overnight after weighing the pros and cons, so as not to be angered by the bad-tempered king.

Among the large number of carriages going out of the city, several carriages full of children mixed in without attracting any attention.

Until he was out of Olga's range, Qiao Yi heard a soft ringing in his ear.

【Ding--】

【mission completed!The reward [fire.drug.recipe] has been issued, please pay attention to check it! 】Bena and her friends lay on the car window, looking at the fire in the direction of the palace, hugging each other and weeping bitterly.

"We survived."

"..."

In another carriage, Dean Belika who chose to leave Olga with the children opened the curtain, also looked at the chaotic Olga, touched the head of the little girl who had escaped from the tiger's mouth, and was silent with red eyes with.

As soon as Joe noticed, Belika was wearing a silver ring on her left ring finger.

He lowered his eyes, rubbing the ring with a thin chain in his hand, the two names on it were blurred.

This is [Andy's token] quest item, the necklace hanging on Andy's bones.

The ring on the necklace is somewhat similar to the one on Belika's hand.

Maybe it's time to talk to Belika sometime.

Joe thought.
