holy flame

"Help?"

"Yes! The emergency communication circle in the church has been damaged! I suspect that the enemy of the Holy Spirit sneaked into the church before the undead attacked the city and destroyed the circle. So, I am going to summon!"

"Master Martin, do you think I will believe it?" Samuel continued to approach.

"Why not?! After all, we are... ah!" Julian, who had been keeping his bow and arrow on guard, let go of the string in his hand. The arrow pierced Martin's left arm instantly, and a dim yellow crystal shot from his trembling Hands fell out.

The magic scroll, and what is placed there is definitely not any buff magic that can make people feel physically and mentally happy-the scroll was written on animal leather with various magic potions in ancient times, and various magic and divine arts were sealed in it magic item. More than 3000 years ago, a great magician appeared on a certain continent and made a major improvement in scroll technology.Various ores rich in mana can be made into "scrolls", and the magic released through this ore scroll is even better than the magic released directly by the magician.Although in a sense, this magic item is no longer a "scroll".But after all, this title has been used for an unknown number of years, so this title is still used.And the ore scrolls have completely replaced those leather scrolls today.

Samuel directly pulled Martin over from the horse, and the officiant, whose arm was injured, knew that he had no way out.Finally, he stopped begging for mercy, but screamed and cursed Samuel with vicious words.

But obviously his words had no effect on Samuel. He took the rope from behind his saddle and tied Martin tightly.This binding method is also a technique taught by the Knights. After being bound, let alone breaking free, the person bound from shoulder to toe will never be able to move at all.And Samuel used this technique on Martin, not only to keep him honest, but also to stop the bleeding.After all, a knight is a knight. Although Samuel also has some small methods that can heal trauma, his holy power cannot be wasted on this bastard.

The man was tied up, and Samuel laid him across in front of him.Martin's stomach was pressed against the horse's back, which made him turn blue and retch, but he kept cursing.

"Julian, this is my identification." Samuel took out an envelope from the leather pocket next to the horse, "Take this and the one on the ground, and go to the Black Bear Fortress to bring reinforcements." Emergency communications will bring reinforcements, but from what Martin said just now, it is likely that he has destroyed the emergency contact circles in several important places such as the City Lord's Mansion, the Church, and the Mercenary Guild before leaving.He not only left the lives of the whole city and fled because he knew that the undead attacked the city, but he also wanted to kill all the people in the city!This guy in a bright cloak is more vicious and despicable than anyone imagined.

"Barne, you stay here and rearrange our belongings."

"What about you, Samuel?" Julian didn't pick up the envelope, and looked at Samuel with a frown.

"I'll take him back. If the guess is true, those undead should be very happy to see them."

"No! No!" Martin suddenly stopped cursing, raised his head in an awkward posture, and looked at Samuel in horror, "You can't do that! Even if I'm guilty, the Holy Court should punish me! I'm an officiant! You can't hand me over to those undead!"

"Don't worry, I know this." According to the Holy Court, all the priests and warriors serving the Holy Court are God's servants, they are not human.And if the servants of God commit crimes, not to mention being punished by the hostile forces of darkness or undead, even the human monarchs who obey the Holy Spirit have no right to punish them, and they can only be dealt with by gods or higher-level servants of God.No matter what Martin did, if Samuel handed him over to the undead, he would be a traitor to God!He hit Martin on the back of the head with a knife, and the noisy officiant immediately fainted, "I will protect myself, take my things and go. Whether I can survive depends on your speed."

"..." Julian didn't say anything more, and after giving simple bandages and first aid to the screaming survivors on the ground, he took the guy who was also bundled into rice dumplings and set foot on the road to the Black Bear Fortress.

"Master Samuel, pay attention to safety." Julian obeyed Samuel's instructions, and of course the honest man Bahn would not have any objections.All he could do was say goodbye to Samuel.

Samuel nodded and turned his horse around on the path.

In fact, as a ruthless and cold-blooded guy, Samuel's behavior could neither be because of his passion, nor because he wanted to save the people from fire and water.It was because he was performing the duties of a knight—to put it simply, he was a qualified knight of the Holy See, and he should do so when encountering such a thing.This sounds like the declaration of a passionate and righteous man, but Samuel came to the conclusion entirely from a rational point of view.The knights of the Holy See, who have a completely different system from the priests, although there are some slick ones in the top position, but the ones who survived safely are those diehards.

Because the really high-level priests like those guys with strong limbs and simple minds.And the knights themselves also like a comrade who can trust their backs with confidence.Therefore, Samuel wants to be a cold-blooded knight.

The carrion crows could already be seen ahead, because they had already left the range of the dark clouds, and now it was approaching the noon when the sun was fierce. These lowly little undeads began to emit black smoke.But because of the order of the necromancer who controls them, the little guys still fly and patrol in their respective areas tenaciously.

"Hey!" Samuel didn't know if these scavengers could recognize Martin, so he found a small hillside with no vegetation, waved his arms at the scavengers, and pulled Martin up, deliberately turning his face towards the scavengers. Sky, "Martin, the priest of Julian City, is here!"

The three scavengers flew a little closer because of his call, and Samuel then called out to them three times, but they still circled above his head.Samuel only knew from the Holy Court's books that necromancers could share vision with some of the undead they controlled, but he didn't know to what extent this so-called sharing could reach. General clarity.

He was going to wait another 10 minutes. If there was still no movement, he could only take a risk and move on.

In less than 5 minutes, "movement" appeared...

One of the scavengers suddenly croaked and landed on the branch in front of Samuel.

"Knight of the Holy See?" The scavenger crow opened its mouth, but what came out was the voice of an old human being.

"Apprentice Paladin."

"Give me the officiant, and we'll leave."

"Stop attacking the city, or I will let him escape." Samuel took down the bow and arrow, shot the other two unmoving scavengers, and then he put the third arrow on the bowstring, "If I find that there is The attack of the undead, if the negotiation breaks down, I will take him to escape immediately. You should know that on this continent, maybe you undead can set off a huge wave, but when the wave hits the ground, it will immediately Broken into countless blisters."

"Yes, but we also know. It's come to this point, and the only choice we have is to drag one person to death, or 10 deaths. Literally, [-] sounds better. "

"Back to the holy court, what awaits Martin is still death."

"Yes, then why not use this mortal man in exchange for the lives of humans in the city of Julian? Give him to us, and we can also give you a special medicine to treat the plague."

"..." In this world, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. For some reason, these guys who have accepted the gift of the god of the underworld and become necromancers are barefoot.Unless they open the portal to some undead continents, or directly find the way to the underworld, what awaits them is a dead end.And those two ways of life are obviously hopeless for these necromancers.

Therefore, apart from killing their enemies, what they can do is to give themselves more backs. This can be said to be the inferiority of human beings.Samuel frowned, even if he couldn't save Julian City, at least he had to delay time.

"Martin, after all, is the officiant of the holy court. Only the court of the holy court can judge whether he is guilty or not. I am just a knight, and I am not qualified to convict him, let alone hand him over to you. Therefore, the negotiation broke down."

"Hypocritical knight! Hypocritical Holy Court! Rather than saying that you are not qualified, it is better to say that the life of the whole city is not as precious as your life alone! After all, if you trade with us in private, you have to become a frequent visitor of the Inquisition !"

When Samuel was about to turn his horse and leave, the carrion crow let out a loud cry and flew up, and the old man's voice that came out of its mouth became high and angry.

"There is no conclusion as to why Priest Martin suddenly left Julian City, so even if he goes to the court, what awaits him may not necessarily be the death penalty." Samuel glanced at the crow and ran towards the direction he came from.

At the same time, the undead who had already invaded Julian City suddenly stopped their movements unanimously, and then receded like a tide.The layers of white bones that formed the bone mountain also turned into a sea of ​​dry bones again amidst the sound of "squeak", and the pure white torrent poured away towards the distance.On the city wall, the few remaining soldiers who survived the catastrophe froze for a moment. First they fell to their knees one after another due to loss of strength, and then fell to the ground crying bitterly, or passed out directly...

Samuel galloped with Martin, and he was sure that the necromancers would definitely catch up.But his mount had been running for a whole morning, no matter how good the horse was, it was beginning to feel tired, not to mention, there were two people on its back now!
