Devil Book

Double Moon [-] · Baqin Matthew Town

"call……"

There are no windows in the airtight wooden house, only a few rays of sunlight tentatively passing through the cracks of the wood on the ground. There is only a pile of fabrics and wood in the house, which is obviously a warehouse, and on top of these stacked objects lies a The red-haired child snorted with his eyes closed, sleeping soundly, and a red snake curled up on his lap, sleeping soundly.

Suddenly the door of the wooden house was knocked open, and the wooden house built of fragile wood was shaken by such a sudden impact, awakening Xiu in his sleep.

"What's the matter..." He rubbed his eyes, but the one who barged in before him was the grocery seller next door, with a flustered expression on his face.

"Why are you still sleeping! Run away!" He took a few steps forward and was about to take Xiu's hand and leave, but suddenly froze in place.Then the man covered his chest and fell to the ground. Only then did Xiu see that blood was pouring out from his chest—the man had already lost his life.

The soldier in armor in front of him was holding a spear in his hand, and the spearhead was covered with blood.

Xiu stared at him without saying a word, not only because of fear but also because of surprise—this was the first time he saw someone die in front of him, or he was an acquaintance.

The soldier's face was covered by the helmet, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, but the hands that stabbed the man to death seemed to be numb to it. Xiu remembered the pattern on the shoulder of his armor, which was a black inverted cross, and It's the same as my belly, but bigger.

The soldier didn't care that the child in front of him froze in place, but raised his gun and wanted to stab him again. Fortunately, the red snake Kappa was quicker than him to react and jumped at his neck that was not covered by the armor. The venom mixed with it Seeing his saliva injected into the wound under his teeth, the big man fell to the ground within a few seconds.

Only then did Xiu realize that he hugged Capa and left the cabin. A person bumped past him unceremoniously. He noticed that the people around him—basically all he knew, who grew up in horses. The people in Taizhen are running towards the forest frantically. After crossing the small forest, there is a river without a bridge, but as long as you swim across the bridge, you can go to the richer big city Homer.

Why are they all on the run?

After overhauling his head, he heard screams and explosions approaching him like a flood from the end of his field of vision. The legion wearing silver armor with a black inverted cross branded on their shoulders marched forward step by step like crushing ants. Without the power to parry, the blood covered the ground like a carpet, and then the ignited arrows were shot out row by row, filling the houses with thatched roofs, and the sky of the entire Matthew Town turned into the color of flames.

Xiu didn't think to find his adoptive mother, or the orc friend and mentor Joshua who he met a few times. Instead, he turned his head and ran with the crowd. He didn't expect that he would be so afraid. He didn't know that tears had already wetted his immature cheeks.

His heart was trembling, and he only knew to escape the red "scream".

"Run away."

His heart told him so.

When he woke up, there was another scene in front of him.Even though the screams of those people were still lingering in his ears, he knew that he was safe at this moment, at least it was peaceful here.

He caught his breath and found that his forehead was wrapped in a bandage.

"You escaped from Matthew Town, didn't you?" A woman's voice came, Xiu saw the appearance of that person clearly, he didn't know what to be on guard when he was young, he just felt that the woman gave him the same attention as his adoptive mother The feeling, the feeling of motherhood.

The blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman has very soft features, just like the image of the mother in the murals hanging on the wall of Bachin's church, she is noble, steadfast, gentle and considerate.

Xiu nodded, and the woman put a cup of tea on the bedside table, "When I found you in the forest, you were covered in scars and passed out.

"I've heard about what happened in Matthew Town... It's really unfortunate that there are not many people who can escape to Homer. I hope God can accept those escaped souls.

"But don't worry, Homer is guarded by Baqin's regular army, and it's very close to the capital, so they don't dare to mess around."

Xiu pursed his lips. Corola couldn't help but feel sympathy for such a poor, scarred child, "Before you decide where to go, stay here first."

"Um... do you know where my mother is? Her name is Morgana, Morgana Gunter."

"I'm sorry... I heard that the survivors had children and men, but no women and old people."

Xiu suppressed his emotional outburst, but still couldn't help the tears streaming out. The woman couldn't stand it, so she hugged Xiu directly, reached out and stroked his back, as if comforting her own child, "Don't worry, I will Take care of you. I have children, I know, your mother, she must want you to be happy."

Xiu nodded and sobbed, buried his head in the woman's arms, then raised his head, "You...what's your name?"

"Colora Sebastian, I used to be a nun in Bachin. After having a child, I left the capital and came here to make a living by selling flowers and fabrics." Corolla stroked her red hair, and at first glance Seeing him, she knew that this person was unusual.

"what about your child……?"

"Ah, he has grown up. Considering he has grown up this year, he should be an excellent believer." Speaking of her child, her face was full of pride and longing, "That child can already be independent, I I don’t want him to stay in Homer all his life—he should go out and see more. But that kid is a bit like you, and he also has a black inverted cross on his forehead, which was born with him.”

When Corola was treating and bandaging the wound for Xiu, she accidentally saw the tiny black inverted cross on her abdomen, which was the same birthmark as her own child.

"Black inverted cross... By the way, those soldiers who destroyed Matthew Town also had black inverted crosses on their shoulders!" Xiu suddenly thought, "Who are they?"

"Do you know the seven deadly sins? Those crusaders betrayed their own race, and would rather fight for the devil to help them get this world, and they would not hesitate to hurt their own compatriots. They all have this mark on their armor, and they want to attack Matthew. crusader."

Corola didn't see it, Xiu's eyes were full of resentment, the demon who destroyed his past within a day, he must kill them with his own hands.

He was a child, and once he resented one thing, he would forget other details, such as the accidental discovery that Joshua also had a black inverted cross on his ankle.

This is no coincidence of birthmarks.

At the same time, Matthew Town has already been turned into ruins, with unknown corpses lying on the ground, houses collapsed, and the flames are still not extinguished. I don't know how long it will burn, maybe until everything is reduced to ashes.

The man's black boots stomped mercilessly on the ground, trampling the charred wood under his feet, avoiding the corpses along the way, his eyes filled with disgust.

"Joshua, I didn't find that child." Mei Luo's voice was like willow twigs hanging on the lake, and the wind blowing through it was as exciting as the dizzy ripples.

"I think he probably escaped to Homer, where most of the survivors are."

"Then we can only approach him secretly. Homer's guards are heavily guarded and he is close to the capital. When we have enough troops, we can march into Baqin."

Joshua nodded, "Since he is not among the living people we captured, let's kill them all.

When Mei Luo gave an order, the soldiers pointed their spears at all the Matthews kneeling on the ground, and stabbed them almost at the same time.

She suddenly heard a cry and walked behind the bushes. It turned out that there was a child hiding in the bushes, but she didn't respond at all, and it seemed that she was not the one she was looking for.

It's useless to keep it.She thought, and reached out to touch the child's cheek, "Don't be afraid."

The child seemed to be holding his breath in extreme fear. The moment her fingertips touched the child's skin, he felt a tingling sensation, but for some reason he was powerless to back down, and a blue bruise emerged from the contact point in a blink of an eye. Gray meridian lines spread all over his body. He couldn't move at all. He felt as if his vitality was being absorbed by an endless black hole. She didn't let go until the child's skin wrinkled and sank where there was no bone support.

She glanced at the white-haired mummy lying on the ground, and it was hard to imagine that she was a cute child a minute ago.

Hazel has been standing behind her to witness all this, but remains unmoved.
