Chapter 7 Redemption (5)
Chapter 7 Redemption (V)
In the early morning, Lille City, which was sleeping, was awakened by a sound of horse hooves like thunder. The residents who were disturbed by Qingmeng and were extremely dissatisfied with opening the windows. Just as they were about to scold a few times, they were shocked to find that like a gust of wind was passing through the long street, the flying flag was clearly the Lionheart Cross Flag of the Grand Duke.
Could it be that the Grand Duke of Bavaria, who was fighting in the north, had returned to the capital? Looking at the murderous appearance of these knights, something must have happened. No matter what it was, it would definitely not be a good thing anyway.
The residents who wanted to scold a few times were frightened on the spot and immediately closed the window firmly.
In the center of the cavalry, the knight with a straight body forever was indeed Reinhardt, the Grand Duke of Lionheart. But at this moment, he did not have the joy of returning to the world. His face was just the wind and frost like the cold winter.
In a blink of an eye, the Grand Duke Mansion was already in sight.
The Grand Duke reached out and pointed at the Grand Duke Mansion, and the two cavalry around him immediately accelerated. The knight on the horse exhaled and swung the extremely heavy shackle, and smashed heavily on the copper gate of the Grand Duke Mansion!
Amid the roar, the gate of the Grand Duke's Mansion fell slowly inward and was actually smashed!
The Grand Duke rode his horse like lightning, passing through the door without stopping, and galloping straight into the depths of the Grand Duke's Mansion. The knights who followed him back all tied their horses outside the Grand Duke's Mansion and lined up into neat teams, without saying a word, but just waited quietly. There seemed to be a terrible thunderstorm brewing over this silent cavalry team.
The incident happened suddenly, and the guards of the Grand Duke's Mansion were all on the spot for a while, and they couldn't figure out what had just happened.
"Dear Catherine! Can you give me a convincing explanation about Crasso's death? Don't you know that he is a divine favored by the Lord of Heaven?!" The Grand Duke stepped into Catherine's study, his face as cold as frost, and his voice was filled with a solemn smell. Anyone who is familiar with him knows that the Grand Duke has already had a murderous intent at this moment.
Catherine slowly stood up from behind the desk and met Bavarian's gaze. In front of the furious lion, she was not afraid at all, but said coldly: "It is precisely because he is a man of God that I killed him."
The Grand Duke of Bavaria slowed down and approached Catherine step by step. His hand had subconsciously held the hilt of the sword and said coldly: "Dear Catherine, I heard that during the time when I was away, you gave birth to another child. It was nothing if you had a lover. Even if giving birth to a child is too much, it was not a big deal. I wouldn't care at all. But now things are obviously not as simple as I imagined! Dear, I feel a different breath from you. I guess you killed Crassu for this child, right? Can you tell me who the child's father is and where is the child now?"
Catherine smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing to tell you. Anyway, you are destined to be helpless in this matter. The father of the child is Roger. As for this child, I have put him in an absolute seal and pushed him into the turbulent space. So you don't have to bother to vent your anger at this child. You will definitely not be able to find him. As for Roger, I heard that he has recently been favored by the Lord God Dismason. What can you do with him now?"
The great master held the hilt tightly with his vigorous and powerful hands, and had to use all his concentration to force himself to not unsheath the sword. He was afraid that once the sword was unsheathed, he would not be able to control himself.
The Grand Duke took a deep breath and tried his best to say in a calm tone: "I can tolerate all these, but why do you want to kill Crassu?"
Catherine said calmly: "He is just a dog of the Lord God of Heaven. If he kills it, he will kill it. What's the big deal?"
With a choking sound, the extremely sharp sword finally popped out of the sheath and posed on Catherine's neck as ice as snow.
The eldest duke's face was covered with green air and he growled: "Do you know what you did?"
Catherine suddenly smiled and said, "Of course I know. I just gave up the opportunity to be a gentle and loyal dog in front of the Lord God."
"You!..." The grandfather was so angry that his whole body trembled, and the sword in his hand trembled. At the contact between the sword tip and Catherine's skin, a bright red blood line slowly flowed down.
Seeing this trace of blood, the Grand Duke finally calmed down a little, moved the sword edge a little, and shouted: "It is glory to serve the Lord God! With my achievements, when the plane of heaven is unified, I will become the supreme ruler of the entire plane after the Pope! Moreover, when the final judgment comes, you and I can be redeemed! Do you know what that means? It means immortality!"
Catherine stared at the Grand Duke, sighed faintly, and said, "Does it really feel so accomplished to rule a group of walking corpses without independent consciousness? Dear, you have changed. Although you never said it when we met, I know that your dream is to unify the entire plane and expel all existences that should not belong to this plane, even if it is the gods who are above the top! But now? Since when did you actually value salvation so much? You are no longer you. Have you really forgotten those dreams of the past?"
The Grand Duke was silent for a long time before saying, "Catherine, at that time I didn't know the power of heaven, nor the power of the Lord God. But now I know, so I know that no matter how hard we try, the final result will not change. Think about it carefully, is it worth giving up the opportunity to immortality for an irreversible ending?"
Catherine stared at the eyes of the grandfather, slowly shook her head and slowly retreated.
She said word by word: "I think it is worth it. I will not accept the redemption that can be obtained through mercy and charity, nor will I give up my thoughts and become a puppet who only knows that the Lord God's destiny is the subject in redemption. There is no reason to make such a decision, just because I am proud, I am unique, and I am Catherine! Even if the final result will not change, I can still make the heavens gain nothing in this plane. This is how I exist!"
The grand duke was startled and immediately took a step forward and shouted, "Catherine, what do you want to do? Don't do it nonsense!"
But before he could take action, Catherine flipped her wrist and had a dagger filled with crystal light.
She smiled faintly, waved her slender hand, and the dagger cut through the air at an incredible speed, and then pierced into her chest without any hindrance!
"Catherine!"
All this happened so quickly that the Grand Duke had only time to roar!
With a choking sound, he could no longer hold the sword in his hand.
He wanted to rush up and hug Catherine, but for some reason, his feet were as heavy as a thousand pounds and he could not take that step no matter what!
He could only watch helplessly, watching the blood flower blooming in her chest and blooming. In a blink of an eye, the blood-colored flower filled the entire study.
The blood flowers in the room silently condensed into a huge magic symbol and quietly sank into the ground.
Catherine stood up naturally, holding the dagger that had no handle like a heart-holding hand, slowly closing her eyes, and a smile still hung on the corner of her mouth.
From beginning to end, her demeanor, her face, and her smile are so beautiful, so perfect, without any dust or flaws.
She, Catherine, is always the embodiment of perfection.
In just a moment, the Grand Duke of Bavaria was already dozens of years old.
The autumn wind gently blows through the forests of Qiqinake Mountains. From the broad-leaved trees at the foot of the mountain to the snow-capped pine trees near the top of the mountain, they all sway in the wind, and the pine waves of forest waves are rising step by step, which is refreshing.
Rogge strolls among the mountains, enjoying the breath of the mountains. He hasn't been strolling leisurely for so long. Now he is in a hurry and has no special purpose to achieve.
Although it was only one afternoon, Roger was very idle this afternoon.
He passed by the vast Qiqinake mountains leisurely, enjoying the mountain breeze, listening to the singing of insects and birds, and occasionally stopping by the mountain streams. His figure was not very clear, and he had already appeared 1,000 meters away in the flash.
When he was young, Roger was still immersed in alcohol. Between women and money. When he grew up, he was immediately involved in a political vortex and continued to struggle for survival. When he was in power and was intimidating, he would camp and fight every day, and any decision would involve the life and death of countless people, and he had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery around him.
What's more, the fat man was already so vulgar that he would rather see the golden beauty than appreciate any scenery in the mountains.
At dusk, Roger was already standing on the top of the mountain, staring at the quiet and solemn Elf Valley.
After a moment of stopping, he jumped up from the top of the mountain, swept through the sky, and landed in the Elf Valley.
At this moment, the floating temple was still radiating a light and gorgeous light, and there was an elf meditating on each magic talisman. Roger stood on the edge of the valley, his eyes slowly swept across the elves, thinking about something. He had already seen that the vitality of these elves was rapidly losing, but even with his eyes at this moment, he could not see where the mystery of this magic circle was.
But Roger didn't know that just a few days ago, the valley was still very prosperous, and the number of elves walking back and forth was far more than now.
The elves walked back and forth in an orderly manner, busy with their own affairs. They glanced at Rog, who suddenly appeared in the valley, and then ignored them at all, just as he was a member of the Elf Valley.
Roger didn't care. He could see that the souls of these elves were holy and pure, and their whole body and mind had been devoted to the grand magic ceremony being held, focusing on turning a blind eye to everything outside and turning a blind eye to it. Perhaps from another perspective, these elves were out of confidence. They were hospitality and gentle, but they were not afraid of anyone making trouble. In fact, there were many elves in the Elf Valley with high martial arts, and there were many great magicians. The golems that were traveling back and forth in the valley were not just used to move things, and when necessary, they would be terrible opponents.
However, Roger knew that this was not the main reason for the elves' confidence. Their source of confidence was now in a small building on the edge of the valley.
"Dear Elder Seus, it seems that your life has not been very good recently!" Rogersin pushed open the door of the small building and said with a smile.
"It's not just not very good, it's just terrible!" Sius said with a wry smile. His life has not been very good lately, at least it's just clear water in the cup at this moment. However, the old fox was not surprised at Roger's sudden arrival at all, as if he had expected him to come.
Roger was still sitting at the table as usual, holding the teacup in front of Seuss as before. He was about to drink it, but suddenly he found that there was only clear water in the teacup, and he was stunned for a moment. But even the clear water was sipped all.
Xius coughed and said, "The magic ritual outside is very expensive. I have limited savings. In order to complete this magic ritual, I have to save some money. I can no longer afford the tea."
Roger was stunned at first, then couldn't help laughing, and said, "Elder Sius, your magic ritual is indeed amazing. I think even the Aslofik Empire could not collect so many rare materials, and it was even more impossible for such a number of elves to contribute their vitality. But this wouldn't make you unable to even afford tea, right? But then again, I haven't figured out what the magic circle is for. It seems that it gathers the vitality of all elves together, as if it was preparing to break through some obstacles and teleport to a certain space."
Seus smiled and said, "Lord Rog, you don't have to hide things from you now. This magic ceremony was prepared to awaken the great Hilo."
Roger frowned and said, "But I feel that this magic circle is not stable, which means that your preparation does not seem to be very sufficient."
Xius sighed and said, "There's no way. I originally thought I could have at least a few hundred years to prepare this magic circle, but I didn't expect that this plane would attract the attention of the Lord God of the Heavenly Realm so quickly, so although the materials and the elf mage were not enough, I had to advance the ceremony. Now I can only do my best. As for whether it can succeed, alas..."
Roger smiled and said, "No matter whether he succeeds or not, do it first. Even if Hilo returns to this plane, the final result will be the same. In the eyes of the gods, we sentient beings are just humble beings who dedicate the power of faith. They will not really care about our survival or death. From this point of view, whether it is the Lord God of Heaven or Hilo who ruled this plane, the result will be the same. Those who think we are believers who cannot give up on the gods actually think that they are the center of the plane, so they have such absurd and arrogant idea. But now it seems that if Hilo completely ruled this plane, at least it would not be worse than the gods of Heaven."
Seus raised his eyebrows and stared at Roger for a while before saying, "Do you already know the cause of the abandoned land?"
"Yes..." Roger sighed softly, and what leisurely arose in his heart was the gray abandoned place that could only survive by the dead.
