Chapter 720 ??Apostle
In the middle of my life, I got lost in a dark forest. How difficult it is to explain the desolation, silence, and vastness of that forest!
When I think of him, I feel a burst of fear, as if death is coming. Before I describe the ambulance I met, I will first describe the shocking scene.
I don't know how I got into this forest. I just feel that the moment I fell asleep, I lost the right path.
Later I walked to the side of the forest, and the thought of fear was still entangled in my heart. Suddenly I came to the foot of a hill, and the top of the hill was covered with dazzling sunlight. This is a bright light that illuminates the journey.
It's a pity to be frightened all night. Only then did I calm down a little. People who climbed ashore from the sea usually have to look back to see the stormy waves behind them, so after I was initially shocked, I only looked back to know where I came from. The road is dangerous and difficult. It is not for strangers.
I rested for a while, then stood up to catch up with my journey, and climbed up the desolate hillside step by step.
I didn't climb very high. Suddenly, a swift and colorful leopard jumped out in front of me, blocking my way. I wanted to turn around to avoid it several times.
It was broad daylight then, when the sun rose from the east, and all the fields were clear; such a clear morning, such a mild hour, gave me hope of overcoming the blinding and terrible beast.
However, one wave was not calm, another wave rose again, and a lion appeared again. He seemed to be rushing towards me. He was extremely hungry. He raised his head high and let out his breath, which was really scary.
There was also a thin she-wolf who seemed to be in a hurry, and had already hurt many people. Her eyes were fixed on me, and I was shaking with fear, so I had to give up crawling. The plan to reach the top of the mountain!
——From Hell Travels Dark Forest, Leopard, Lion, and She-Wolf
………………………………………………………………………………………..
Seru was captured by King Lucia's soldiers and secretly brought to his palace.
Without interrogation at all, King Lucia easily knew the whereabouts of the soldiers he sent out from Seru's mouth - they died in the desolate forest.
The corpse was devoured by wild beasts, and the armor and weapons were scattered and disappeared
King Lucia roared uncontrollably, Do you know how much money every soldier is wasting me? And their armor! Do you know how much it's worth? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
King Lucia roared impotently in the secret torture chamber of the palace,
Seru's face turned pale with fright.
His previous guts were given by the person next to him with five strange abilities.
But they died at the hands of the priests of the Tribunal sent by the Holy See in the Holy Light.
So Sailu's courage naturally also disappeared.
Especially for a person like him who has experienced death once, life is even more precious.
King Lucia asked Seru again, who killed them?
As soon as the king asked this question, Seru's eyes flashed a hint of hidden hatred, so he didn't keep a secret for William, and directly confessed to William.
A sorcerer about two meters tall!
Easily killed soldiers with witchcraft!
Seru thought that after hearing the news, King Lucia would ignore it and unite with the people of the Church of the Holy Light to besiege and kill William, the wizard who had saved him.
But unexpectedly, after hearing the news, the anger in King Lucia's eyes disappeared, replaced by hesitation.
Will it cost a lot of money to fight a powerful wizard? King Lucia was thinking about gains and losses like a preoccupied peddler.
If you can't beat him, or if you can't beat him quickly, won't the loss expand a little bit? Will the loss be more money?
Seru was stunned. He looked at the King Lucia in surprise, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
After thinking for a while, he decided to give up sending people to hunt down the mysterious wizard who killed his soldiers.
Because the soldiers cannot be brought back to life after death, and the loss cannot be made up, and if they send people to hunt the wizard, they will have to pay a high cost. On balance, King Lucia wisely gave up.
But his loss must be made up for.
So he looked at Seru and said, Okay, Seru, let's settle the score.
So far, you have caused me a loss of 135,460 Gold Cruzes!
Do you have money?
...No! Seru was silent for a moment, then replied honestly.
He served as a soldier under the king for many years, and when he retired (the war with the neighboring country was over and he was no longer needed), he was only allocated three silver Cruzes.
And this little money has already been spent during the journey.
The money previously taken from the king was also taken away by the king again.
It can be said that apart from this life, he couldn't even get a copper Cruze out of his body.
Of course King Lucia knew about this.
Just seeing Seru reminded the king of the Kingdom of Lucia that most of the regained wealth would never return to his treasury. This reality made him feel extremely painful. The king of the Kingdom of Lucia's face It suddenly became gloomy, like a storm that is about to come but not yet.
Seru's heart sank immediately, as if he had been grabbed.
After a while, the king of the Kingdom of Lucia recovered from this painful memory. He glared at Seru, Then you have two paths now.
First, I push you out and cut off your head in front of everyone, and your sinful soul belongs to me, and the wealth owed to me is as if it never happened.
Beheading? Of course Seru shook his head desperately.
The king of the Kingdom of Lucia didn't care too much, after all, no one would choose this path unless he was a fool.
Second, sign the contract. Your life and soul belong to me. During your lifetime, you will mine gold for me in my mine. After your death, you will also serve me! he said.
Which one do you choose?
The second way! This is almost no choice, and Sailu, who still wants to live, said immediately.
The king of the Kingdom of Lucia immediately ordered the waiter next to him, and said indifferently, Take him down to sign the contract.
Seru was held up by the waiter and was about to go down to sign the contract. Before leaving, he asked in a mysterious way, Your Highness, will you give the wizard the same choice?
No, I won't look for him! I hope he won't come to me either! The king of the Kingdom of Lucia said, waving his hands like chasing flies.
Uncontrollable anger and unwillingness flashed in the depths of Seru's eyes: I am already in such a miserable situation, but you, who killed the king's soldier, have nothing to do?
The thoughts in Seru's mind turned sharply, recalling the wounds he had on his body, he said with a thought, My respected King, I have one more thing to tell you, I guess you will be very interested!
Oh, is it about money? The king of the Kingdom of Lucia raised his head and asked after hearing this.
no!
The king lost all interest immediately, and lowered his head, not knowing what he was planning!
Seru saw it, and quickly shouted, There is a magical potion in the wizard's hand, it healed all the wounds on my body, including the wounds that exposed the bones!
The king's servants wanted to take Sailu down, but the king of the Kingdom of Lucia quickly stopped them, Stop!
The waiter stopped.
Seru breathed a sigh of relief.
The king asked Seru seriously, You mean, that wizard, the potion in his hand, healed all the wounds on your body?
Yes. Seru nodded.
A moment? asked the king again.
Yes. Seru was actually in a coma at that time, how could he know how long it would take for the medicine to take effect, but this did not prevent him from answering the king's question with an affirmative tone.
Do you feel anything? asked the king again.
I feel that my body is full of vitality. This question made Seru stunned for a moment, and he immediately recalled the situation at that time carefully, and then said in a very firm tone.
Could it be the water of life? the king of the Kingdom of Lucia muttered to himself.
What is the water of life? Seru was a little curious.
A magical thing that can restore all injuries, restore energy, and prolong life! the king murmured.
Seru was surprised when he heard this answer, and then he heard the king continue to say, If it is really the water of life, then it must be very valuable! It can be sold for a very high price!
Seru was speechless after hearing this, the king is so greedy, does he only have money in his eyes?
Then the eyes of the king of the Kingdom of Lucia became brighter, and he said excitedly, I want to find him!
I want to get the water of life in his hand!
Seru's mouth curled up slightly, this was his purpose.
He kindly suggested, Of course, Your Royal Highness, this is your right that no one can question!
But this wizard has some cunning abilities, maybe you should use the power of the Holy See!
Just like when you used the power of the Holy See to slaughter my five companions.
Of course, Seru didn't say this sentence.
Who knew that the king of the Kingdom of Lucia shook his head after hearing this, and said, Don't bother!
Just you are all you need! said the king mysteriously.
His Royal Highness, I don't know the whereabouts of that evil wizard! Seru felt a sense of uneasiness for no reason!
The king smiled and said nothing, and instructed the waiter to take Seru to his treasury, and then let the waiter leave.
In the vault, Sai Lu was blinded by the overwhelming amount of gold, silver and jewelry.
Deep remorse flashed in his eyes, all of this originally belonged to him!
If I knew it earlier, I should let those five companions find a chance to kill the king, so that it wouldn't lead to what happened later!
Regret is useless.
King Lucia, who turned his back on Sailu, suddenly said, Sailu, you said that your life and soul belong to me, right?
...Yes, Your Majesty the King. Seru hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Very well, then now is the time for you to return it to me! At some point, the king's voice changed inexplicably, which made Seru's heart tremble.
Hehe... Sailu showed a crying smile, desperately searching for the meaning of his existence, and he said, Your Highness, aren't you going to find the wizard who has the water of life?
I can help you! I know where he left last....
No! Seru, you've already helped me! The king of the Kingdom of Lucia turned around suddenly, and his changed image suddenly made Seru lose his voice.
The king was no longer human, his whole body was scorched black like charcoal, his hands were like bat claws, and another tumor-like head grew out beside his neck. The eyes on this head gleamed treacherously.
This...the devil... Seru turned around and wanted to escape.
Who knew that as soon as he turned around, the king's voice appeared in his mind, Come back, come back....
In this way, Seru couldn't help but walked in front of this devil-like king.
Seru, as you promised, your life and soul are mine! The king's voice came from the tumor-like head.
Seru's heart was broken, he just shook his head desperately.
I want to dedicate you to the great mammon king, and exchange your soul and lifespan for the whereabouts of that wizard! the king said again.
No, Your Highness! Seru begged for mercy.
But it's useless!
Since the king chose to expose his true colors in front of Seru, Seru was destined to be a dead man.
The king half-knelt on the gold coins all over the floor, chanting incantations in the language of hell.
The entire vault seemed to be turned off and plunged into darkness.
But the floor of the vault lit up.
A dark magic array of pentagrams lit up, with various complex spells written in the language of hell.
The king's chanting became louder and louder, and the gold coins in the treasury also emitted a purple mist.
The great lord of wealth, the supreme Mamun, please descend!
After the king finished chanting the last incantation, the entire treasury suddenly lit up again, but in front of him, there was a hazy phantom composed of purple mist.
Endless evil rays of light bloomed on this purple phantom, as if to pollute this area into a sinful place.
But something seems to be bound outside the vault.
After all, the evil breath did not leak out.
The king let out a sigh of relief, and quickly communicated his request to the projection of the summoned Hell Demon Lord Mamun, and at the same time sacrificed Sailu and part of the gold coins from the treasury to him!
Mamun is a relatively gentle one among the kings of hell, and wealth and soul are his favorite things.
Of course, in hell, the soul is also a kind of wealth.
Seru was extremely compressed, becoming a ball of flesh and blood only the size of a marble.
After He took away the ball of flesh and some of the gold coins in the treasury, the entire purple phantom collapsed, and only a purple shadow shot towards a certain corner of the room.
Oh, so you plan to use this method to find me? William's figure came out of the mirror space and said calmly, Let me see, a demon apostle!
A demonic apostle of a greedy king!
This is the second devil apostle I have encountered!
The first one is the apostle of the gluttonous king!
