Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 61 61. The Temple of Steep Horn Mountain (2)

When the two temple apprentices returned to their door, the high priest was half leaning on the deck chair in the shade of the tree with his eyes closed to enjoy the cool, and the pipe in his hand had fallen to the ground at some point.

He looked old and slender.His white hair was very long, and it was spread out casually, not tied into a bun, and a few strands rested restlessly on his forehead, covering a small half of his face, blending with his snow-white beard.The sacrificial robe was on, but it was also wide open at the moment, and the corners of the clothes were dragged into the soil.

When he was woken up, he didn't notice the stranger immediately, but asked the apprentice for a drink lazily.

"High Priest, we have guests."

Gaius pointed behind him, he was a little out of breath.He was running almost desperately during the last part of the journey.Maca was out of breath, put the bucket down heavily, ran directly to the door frame, and slid down to the ground.

The high priest raised his head, and there really was a little boy smiling and standing in the sun.He straightened his clothes quickly and stood up.How could this man be silent?Can't feel it at all.

"Child, do you want to buy an amulet?"

"Well, you can buy it."

"Where's your lord? You climbed up alone?"

The High Priest had begun to feel something was wrong.

The little boy didn't answer, but set up a pergola with his hands and looked towards the top of the temple.This architectural style is extraordinary, and the detail processing is also extremely fine.Although the main body made of stone has passed through thousands of years, it is still solid and the ancient style still exists.

The entire temple is surrounded by dozens of fluted marble columns, and the smooth and flawless texture is particularly precious.On the walls of the palace made of marble between the pillars, lifelike statues of the seven gods and rare birds and animals are carved.

"So lovely."

"It's absurd... But the murals in the main hall behind are really good. They were painted by a very famous painter a hundred years ago. If you are interested, you can go in and have a look."

The little boy thought for a while, and said, "I don't want it anymore, let's talk about amulets."

"...Seeing that you are a child, I will make an exception and sell you one today."

"Excellent."

Gaius found it very strange, when did the high priest become so talkative?
But he is a smart kid, he will not question in front of outsiders, so he wisely chose to shut up.As for Maca, he is not in the mood to listen to what the high priest and the guests are talking about right now, and he is still silently puffing up at Gaius for running wild for no reason.

The high priest stepped into the gate of the temple and looked back at the little boy. He was still standing there, showing a genuine interest in architecture, carefully admiring up, down, left, and right.

Something is wrong, very wrong, and dangerous.He weighed it in his heart.

This is the first time in a hundred years that he came here with malicious intentions.

Now is a peaceful age, rich in resources, and almost no bandits.If it was a time of war, there were precedents of robbers rushing to the temple, robbing food and herbs, even trying to carry away the statues of gods, and there were even tragedies in which priests were taken away.

But that also has to be based on the premise that the temple has oil and water to scratch... Now that the seven gods are enshrined and withered, the temple has nothing to do with the world... What else can I plan?

Idle and bored, purely to find fault?
"Have you not found it yet?"

"What?" His thoughts were interrupted, and the high priest was taken aback.

"Amulet."

"Oh, the ones that were placed outside have been sold, so I need to look for them."

"It's okay, then I'll sit down and wait."

The little boy flicked his hands and walked to the reclining chair that the high priest had tilted before and sat down. Under the shade of the tree, the cool mountain breeze was blowing his hair.However, he seemed to be careless, and there was no flaw in his every move. Even if the high priest pulled out some powerful crossbow bolts, it would be difficult to sneak attack and hurt him.

Naturally, the amulet couldn't protect the High Priest's Zhou Quan at this time, but he remembered that there was another life-saving gadget at the bottom of the box.He pushed back the tablecloth, rummaged through a lot of boxes and storage cabinets at the bottom, and finally found an old wooden box.

Open the box, it is a crystal.It seems that it has been left for too long, and the lid is covered with ash.But the precious light in the crystal is not diminished, and the magic effect is still there.

This is a flying crystal.

Whatever the child's purpose, Gaius and Maca should be of no use to him.Embarrassing the two temple apprentices is unnecessary and detrimental to face.

The high priest held the crystal in his hands for a while, and tried to see the figures of the two apprentices.In the end, he gritted his teeth and crushed it hard.

Take a gamble, just bet that he won't hurt those two children.It's not like this is a monster who turned into a human, and changed his face and ate them...

The three people outside only heard a crisp sound, and immediately looked up, only to see a figure the size of a grain of rice.Immediately afterwards, a huge piercing sound exploded, leaving only a straight white line.The high priest just disappeared into the sky, never to be seen again.

"Yo, so vigilant, running very fast!"

The little boy said in admiration, not paying attention at all.

Is the high priest...escaped...?Gaius couldn't believe his eyes.He rushed to the inner hall and searched twice quickly, but it was indeed empty.Is this really abandoning himself and Maca and running away?
"Gaius, where did the High Priest go?"

Maca finally became uneasy, and grabbed Gaius by the corner of his clothes and hid behind him.Although the little boy's expression, posture and tone did not change, the abnormality of the high priest and Gaius made him realize that there was something wrong with him.

"It's all here..." The little boy tilted his head and looked at Xiaowa, muttering to himself.

Gaius picked up Maca in his arms, exerted all his strength, and ran towards the back door with all his might.

After running a few steps, he felt his collar tighten, and he was lifted up lightly, leaving his feet off the ground.Looking back, the one holding him was a bald woman in armor, with sallow skin, sunken eye sockets, and a big hooked nose.

With a light on his back, it was Maca who was carried by another woman, also with the same armor and bald head.

Maka's neck hurt and she started crying.

"Don't be noisy."

The little boy frowned, the child's screams made him feel uncomfortable.

Maca didn't care, she screamed louder and struggled desperately.

"I'll count to three, if you still cry, I'll kill you."

The little boy walked up to him and stroked his neck with his thumb, showing a bit of ruthlessness.But his face is too innocent, the deterrent effect is not good, more like a joke with his peers.

"three two……"

Maca swung with all her breastfeeding strength, like a black fish that had just been caught ashore, screaming non-stop, without even stopping.A child who has tempered his body since he was sensible, has a much longer breath than ordinary people, and the noise he makes is much louder.

"one!"

As soon as the words fell, Maka's voice paused, and it turned out that the woman who arrested him made the move.He ripped off the clothes on his back, slashed the knife with his hand, and reached in, tearing out his spine.

Then the woman just held the spine like this, and Maca collapsed and hung in her hand like a weird but ridiculous bag.Only then belatedly did the blood begin to spurt, flow, and drip all over the marble floor.

Gaius was sweating profusely as he watched this scene.He opened his mouth and couldn't make any sound.

Maca is dead?Maca who was still alive and kicking just now, Maca who was still screaming wildly.Get along with him day and night, gluttonous Maca who doesn't like to study.I am not afraid of the sky, I am not afraid of the earth, I am only afraid of the Maca that has no food at night.

just die?
Snapped!There was a crisp sound.It was the little boy who jumped up and slapped the woman.It seemed like a light palm, but the sound was terrifyingly loud.The woman's body trembled even more, and she almost failed to stand still.Beads of blood were thrown onto the wall of the temple.

"Did I let you do it?"

"Forgive me, master. I'm just following your orders. You just said that if he doesn't shut up when you count to one, you will kill him."

At this time, the little boy really lost his smile, and his expression became very sullen.It was also at this moment that Gaius really felt the murderous aura on him.

But in the end, he just spat and didn't continue to attack the woman.

There was another sound of breaking through the air, followed by a heavy landing, and it was the high priest who turned back.He looked at the lifeless Maca in the hands of others, the gently swaying corpse, his eyes were tearing apart, and his whole body was shaking.

The moment Maca was killed, he was heartbroken, knowing that he had completely lost the bet, and immediately turned back.

"Oh, you're back. Sorry, my subordinates are a little heavy."

The little boy smiled again, his eyes bent into crescent moons, if it weren't for the bloody scene behind him, he would really be an innocent child.

At this time, the blood on the ground was dripping down to his feet, and he knew it without looking at it, and moved aside, as if he was afraid of getting his shoes dirty.

"Since it's dirty here, why don't you clean it up quickly, I'm still waiting to move in."
