God-level Demon Hunter

"Sheriff, have you not caught the murderer?" Alzu's face was miserable.
Although none of those relatives regarded themselves as their own, they supported themselves!
"Carnival night, the end of two centuries of war, the whole city is enjoying and celebrating, who can pay attention to the security problem. I heard that there are several families who suffered that night. No news came back, and finally it was nothing."
Maribo obviously won the war, why did such a human tragedy happen? !
Arzu's heart tensed quietly, and a sense of sadness pervaded the air.
"After that, in order to subsidize her life, Zenina went to the outermost medical room of the Melitelli Temple as a volunteer, treating the wounded, changing some food, and coming back almost once a week."
The woman leaned against the cold wall, crying secretly,
Alzu's expression was in a trance, and the little face with flying braids and domineering flashed in front of his eyes, which he hadn't seen for many years.
That Zenina who pampered and spoiled the eldest lady unexpectedly went to work as a doctor in a dirty and smelly environment, treating diseases and saving lives.
The world is really wonderful.
Temple Physician.
Liliana used to work.
The woman took a deep breath, and suddenly grabbed Arzu's hand. Her hand was skinny and her skin was as cold as ice.
"Arzu, no, Casillas, you are a big man now, the army, the grand duke, and the priests will give you face, right? Please go to the medical room outside the temple and help me... Say a few words for Zenina Good words, let her work a little easier, so that she won't suffer any more."
"Help me, Casillas," she begged, tears rolling down her withered cheeks, "for the sake of taking care of you!"
"Don't worry, aunt." Arzu wrapped the woman's cold palm in his palm, nodded heavily, "Wait for my good news."
……
The Temple Hospital is just west of Maribau City. Because of the two centuries of war and the dangers of monsters, there are a large number of wounded and patients every day. It is without dispute the largest building in the city, and the gate is brightly lit.
Arzu traveled unimpeded all the way.
In addition to the magnificent buildings outside the temple, the surrounding area is composed of dark tents.
Believers, patients, and priestesses who wandered around saw his black curly-haired face, brown eyes, and mysterious and expensive rings and amulets all over his body.
Immediately fell into shock.
He bowed and saluted with a respectful and grateful attitude, but also a little fear.
The Dagger War is over, but the Maribau people will never forget the scene when the fateful enemy, the Ellander army, was crushed by the mage's summons.
He is the great benefactor of the entire Principality of Maribo!
"You are--Master Arzu?!" A middle-aged priestess in a white burqa with wrinkles on her face greeted her, with an apologetic smile on her face, "What brought you here? I'll send someone there right away Inform Grand Duke Flock!"
"Relax, I'll just take a look around." Alzu glanced at her, and continued to walk towards the brightly lit tent area, "Where is the treatment room?"
"Are you injured? Let me take you into the temple. Sisters have better medical skills."
"I want to see someone... Dr. Zenina, she is in the outlying treatment room."
The priestess froze for a moment, turned her face suddenly, and took a deep breath, "Please follow me this way."
In a wooden house in the middle of the tent, Alzu saw a dozen shirtless and bandaged soldiers, young boys, and old people gathered around the table, playing Gwent cards in full swing.
Seeing the priests and warlocks of the temple, they immediately fell silent,
"Where does Dr. Zenina live?" Al looked around, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
The priestess behind him looked ugly.
"You mean Zenina Burns, the former noble lady?"
A man with a three-claw scab on his face, which was scratched by the evil ghost, turned his gaze to the priestess next to him.
"What are you doing in a daze, my lord asked you something?" the priestess reprimanded.
"Ms. Zenina hasn't come for two days." The soldier with a mole on his left cheek hastily turned his head, turned his back to the warlock, and winked at the other soldiers, telling them to speak in unison.
"We also found it strange that we thought she had resigned!"
"Hmph..." Arzu's squinted eyes shot a cold light, "Do you think I'm blind?"
He turned his head to look at the priestess, who faltered and stunned, as if he didn't know how to express it.
"Be honest, where did she go?"
His voice seemed to have a magic power that penetrated into the hearts of the people, and it traveled through the entire room with the breeze.
A man with a plaster cast on his left hand was stunned for a moment, his face stiffened strangely like a puppet, and he opened his mouth mechanically,
"Zenina is dead..."
this moment.
The temperature in the air suddenly dropped.
Everyone gasped for breath.
Soon to be back to normal.
"Hehe..." Arzu suddenly laughed, but this laughter made everyone feel creepy. "Near the Temple of the Goddess of Meritelli, a lady with a high moral character who cured illnesses and saved lives, died?"
He looked at the priestess behind him, his eyes were as sharp as a knife,
"explain."
The priestess clasped her hands tightly in front of her lower abdomen, her face was pale and she was stunned.
"Ms. Zenina, was ruined by two patients..." The old man with a bandage wrapped around his head struggled, looked at the closed door on the left side of the wooden house, and said intermittently, "For the convenience of taking care The wounded, she sleeps at night in the room next to this treatment room."
"But three days ago, two men saw that she was beautiful, and she was not a priestess of the temple, and she was not protected by Meritelli, so they became evil. They secretly opened the door in the middle of the night, insulted her, and then sneaked away .”
"She was so ashamed and angry that she hanged herself in the ward the next day."
……
There was a long, uncomfortable silence in the treatment room.
"Where's the corpse?" Alzu's tone was unusually calm, so calm that it made one's heart palpitate.
"In the morgue." The priestess stammered, "You know, a few people die in the hospital every day. When the war is over, most of them died of serious injuries from monster attacks."
"Someone hurt the doctor near the temple. Why didn't any news leak out about such a major accident?"
"I..." The priestess opened her mouth when she was caught by his burning brown eyes, "the priests are worried that the news will affect the reputation of the Temple of Meritelli, so... but the sheriff is still there. The investigation has not yet come to fruition."
"Still investigating? Your doctor is dead, and you just sit and play in the room with peace of mind?" Alzu grinned indifferently, his sharp eyes swept over the dozen or so patients in the field one by one, and they all lowered their heads, "So many of you, lying in one room, with so many eyes, didn't any of you notice the atrocities? Go stop those two beasts!?"
A patient whose chest was covered with purple potion murmured, "Those two guys are as strong as disgusting mutants... They also served in the Maribau army. They threatened me with their eyes, and they threatened me with knives. I... I'm afraid, I dare not say..."
Arzu threw back his head and closed his eyes.
A soldier I helped, killed a doctor.
"Lord Arzu, I, I can't..." Another young man whose left leg was fixed with a plank carefully glanced at the enraged warlock, "I don't want my other leg to be broken as well."
……
"Stop talking, bring Zeni's body back immediately."
"Ah, my lord, it's too late today, how about tomorrow morning?" the priestess asked.
"immediately."
……
After half an hour.
Arzu got his wish and saw Xenina's body.
She is not young anymore.
But the pampered life in the past made her look better than most poor people.
At this moment, this clean and pretty pretty face was abnormally darkened, frozen in terror before death.
Bruises all over the body, muscle spasms.
Obviously cruelly treated.
"Did she heal your wounds?"
Alzu asked slowly.
Everyone bowed their heads in acquiescence, twisting their bodies like sitting on pins and needles.
"Are you worthy of her treatment? The savior dare not lend a helping hand after being insulted? Is there any humanity and conscience left in her chest?"
No one answered.
"Do you know that condoning crime is also an unforgivable sin?"
Several men swallowed their saliva with difficulty, and the room was dead silent.
The mage stared at the priestess.
"Is this the dogma of the goddess Melitelli?"
"I'm sorry, Master Arzu, but I can't help it, I'm a soft-spoken person."
The priestess turned pale, and with a shamed expression, shed a tear.
"But with your respected status, as long as you tell the Grand Duke yourself, the investigation will have results immediately! He will definitely hand over the two prisoners to you immediately! I heard that he will still want you to continue to take action, He will continue to rely on you after attacking the city and plundering land!"
Arzu stared at Xenina with a dazed expression, as if seeing another face.
The same temple physician.
Also died quite painfully.
The objects they sacrificed their lives to save also abandoned them.
How similar.
Faintly, Xenina's bruised cheek overlapped with the pretty face in Arzu's memory that had been gone for decades.
The patients in the treatment room looked at each other in awe.
The honorable mage actually knelt down in front of the female corpse, gently took her cold and stiff hand, and pressed the back of his hand to his forehead.
"Liliana, is it worth saving such a group of people? Is it worth it to create a safe world without monsters for them?" Arzu stared affectionately at the imaginary face, with a firm tone, shaking his head, this time he finally gave a negative The answer - "Not worth it, they are not worth saving!"
A slow, long, heart-piercing pain occupied his whole body and mind.
He held his palm in the air, and a yellow lily medal appeared in his palm.
"I'm tired, let's end it."
He murmured nervously, everyone in the treatment room was as quiet as a cicada, and his back began to feel cold unknowingly, and the strange stirring energy around the man in front of him created a strange hallucination——
A series of neighings of mourning birds became louder and louder, and the intertwined reverberation seemed to swallow everything.
"Decades have passed, and I finally understand. The number of humans killed by monsters is less than one percent of those who died at the hands of their compatriots."
"Master," the priestess shrugged and asked tremblingly, "what are you talking about?"
"Endless wars, greedy desires, ugly crimes, and selfish hearts... are the biggest cancers in this world."
……
Everyone's eyes widened.
The candlelight was extinguished suddenly, and the room sank into a dark and terrifying silence.
A pair of eyes gleamed in the dark.
A raging flame kept burning in the fireplace in the house, illuminating the whole cottage.
Rumble!
Click!
Outside the gate, the dazzling thunder and lightning with silver and purple arcs illuminated the night sky and Arzu's tear-covered face!
In the treatment room, the Temple of Meritelli, and throughout Maribor, countless people walked out of their doors and looked at the chaos in the dark sky together.
The clouds rolled in the sky, thicker and thicker, and it was as black as ink, and the city under the dark clouds became more and more gloomy.
Suddenly, forked lightning split open the gloomy top of the head, and piercing thunderstorms followed one after another.
"Gods!" A white-haired old man was frightened into incoherent words. "Is the end of the world coming?"
