Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 20 The Red Feast

Yeah, Ladislaus had an excellent reason for killing Anna.

But there is really no reason not to kill this childhood acquaintance and childhood friend, this little tail once enjoyed all their innocent lives in the mud with Cesare and Ladislaus, and had a childhood together That ridiculous but never-forgotten secret had been severely punished by the old Seabo and Andre Doria together.

Are you really going to kill her?

Ladislaus didn't have much resentment toward the Seabos.

Betrayal and murder are nothing but commonplace in politics.

As for the girl's attitude and reaction to her proposal, it is even less worthy of revenge by a mature man.

Or, in this plane of gods, Ladislaus has a wider and more free soul.

Anna, who was kneeling on the ground, was unable to grasp the time in the fear and cold. Although Ladislaus did not hesitate to make a decision, she felt that the knife rest had been on her neck for several hours.

"Stand up, how could I kill you, make an oath, surrender to me, and don't run away until the ransom is paid, Anna." Ladislaus' beautiful voice finally reached Anna's ears.

Anna immediately responded without hesitation in a hysterical tone that a lady should never have: "I, Anna-Sibbo, swear on the honor of the ruling family of Liguria, Sibbo..."

"I swear by your faith." Ladislaus interrupted Anna's swearing by the name of the Xibo family. Although the Xibo family is unlikely to take Anna's ransom, it is much more likely to swear by faith. binding.

But this kind of binding force comes at a price. Different oaths require different sacrifices to the gods who endorse them. Similar to the captive oaths that are common on the battlefield, if you swear by faith, you often have to offer [-]% of the ransom.

Anna didn't feel angry at Lasislaus for not trusting her own honor at all, and immediately swore an oath of faith: "I, Anna-Sibo, believe in the great king of flames, Kasus, and hereby swear in his name , as long as Ladislaus-Doria guarantees my life safety and my due rights, I will never resist or run away until I pay a reasonable ransom. If I break this oath, I will be kept cold and humid forever surrounded and died in the sewage."

Immediately after Anna, Ladislaus also raised his hand and said, "I would like to guarantee Anna's life safety and her due rights, and offer [-]% of Anna's ransom to the great Flame Lord."

Kossuth's holy emblem, "Intertwined flames flashed past the eyes of the two, this vision shows that the Lord of Flame has accepted the conditions to guarantee this oath, and this oath cannot be easily broken.

Guaranteed, Ladislaus stretched out his hands to help Anna up.

However, the safety of her life was guaranteed, not only did Anna not stand up, she fell to the side instead. After the girl who was extremely nervous relaxed her mind, she passed out completely.

Ladislaus held her in his arms, and in the mountain wind, he almost doubted for a moment whether it was worth it.

But it was only for a moment, Ladislaus did not allow himself to be so weak, he handed Anna to Old John, and then said to Boss Silica: "Today, if conditions permit, we should sincerely praise our Father in Heaven. "

Upon hearing this, Sirika's boss showed an extremely excited expression.

When Anna woke up on her own, she found that the dawn had not yet arrived. The girl found that she was wrapped in the linen coat and cloak that seemed to belong to the dead priest of the Lord of Thieves, and in her hand was the water bag that also belonged to that unlucky ghost.

Ladislaus and his two attendants were at the place where they could see, where they had just fought to the death, dragging a dozen dead people to the Razor Boar, and the bodies of the boars that had been divided up just now were also put back. On the huge skeleton of the wild boar, including teeth, heart, skin, etc., were all concentrated, all of which were besieged by the firewood under the barbecue.

Ladislaus seemed to be arranging his clothes, cleaning his hands, and after rinsing thoroughly with a few water bags, Boss Sirika handed a torch to Ladislaus' hand.

It looks like Ladislaus is going to hold some religious ceremony in the forest.

The belief of Ladislaus has been the hottest topic in Ligurian high society for a year, although like all Dorian families, they publicly recognize the god of secret politics-His Majesty Cyric as the supreme god of Europa , but like all members of the Habsburg royal family, he has rarely attended the weekend dark mass lately.

Some other minor churches never got a visit from him, at least publicly.

No church would miss the opportunity to proclaim that a figure favored by the emperor tends to the gods he believes in.

However, all the important figures of Habsburg, Emperor Charles V, the fifteenth-level warlock, Grand Duke Ferdinand, the nineteenth-level warlock agent, and Ladislaus, the tenth-level warlock of the new division, have not visited temples other than the Cyric Church. The number of visits to Cyric Church is also very small, just to express the necessary respect for the current Supreme God of Europa.

Their silent belief is the most concerned issue in Europe, but the consensus is that there must be a very powerful or very close god standing behind them.

Anna, who was also extremely curious about this question, took a sip of water, barely stood up, walked to the side of Ladislaus who was starting to read in a low voice by the firewood pile, and listened to the prayer quietly with Old John word.

"Only the ancestors of the Habsburgs, and the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, I praise you for your glorious surname and great empire. Thank you for enclosing such lofty mountains and abundant rivers with your sword. Thanks to your wisdom and wisdom, as The sun shines on the empire. The mediocre descendant Ladislaus is grateful for the favor, so he can only show his heart, and hereby pay tribute to you with the blood of the enemy and the heroic life, please enjoy it."

With the final invitation, Ladislaus threw the torch into the pyre, but due to insufficient combustion support, it seemed to Anna that it might be extinguished in the turmoil of the night at any time. Anna was secretly happy, although Ladislaus Judging from the prayers just now, it should be some kind of ancestor sacrifice. This kind of god is often weak, but it is very close to the believers and does not support the believers much. However, it rarely punishes the failure of the believers, but no matter which god People will be very angry about events like "the fire of the sacrifice is extinguished". Maybe punishment is impossible, but it is inevitable that the sacrifice will be invalid.

But Ladislaus didn't seem worried about the little flame trembling in the turmoil at all, and stopped Old John who wanted to add more firewood, and just signaled Boss Silica to cooperate with him.

Anna looked at Boss Silica at the side at this time, took a blood-red knife with both hands, and then held it over his head to show respect.Anna saw that one side of the knife was engraved with the surname and emblem of the extinct Hohenstaufen family. On the other side, Anna guessed that it should be the surname and emblem of the contemporary royal Habsburg family, Ladislaus. Holding the blade with his left hand, blood dripped into the flame along the wound. The originally very weak flame burst into blood, and the dark red flame instantly enveloped all the warriors of the Xibo family and the priest of the lord of thieves. The razor boar, which represents the "majestic life" in the sacrificial text, is the center of the flame, stirring up a pillar of fire several meters high.

This is the real feast, the top priest that can only be inspired by the blood of the "inviter".

Along with the blood of Ladislaus and those blood threads in the dagger, now the "Invitation to a Feast" has once again become almost completely transparent.

As an important believer of Kossuth, the Lord of Fire, Anna is very sensitive to flames. She feels very strange now. Although the flames in front of her are still beating like flames, in fact, the flames just dripped into the heap with the blood of Ladislaus. It had already been extinguished, and what was in front of her now was not a flame, but the still cold temperature and the huge smell of blood from the dark red "flame" confirmed her thoughts.

In a daze, Anna couldn't help expressing her doubts: "What the hell is this?"
