Heart of the Castle

Chapter 318 Divine power backfires, advances in the snow

Levi Ston was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. He opened his eyes, instinctively reached out to touch the sword beside the pillow, and then relaxed again.The probing technique had already told him that the person standing outside the door was not a suspicious person, but Donald the Roaring Bear who swore his soul blood oath of allegiance to Li Wei, who could be called the blood of my blood.

A dim light had just appeared on the window covered by the cow's bladder, and the strength of the howling wind that had been roaring all night seemed to have weakened, but it was still far from calm.Li Wei got up from the bed—or rather, the pile of ferns that was covered with sheepskin thatch. He brushed the hay crumbs from his head and body with his hands, then walked over and opened the door latch.

A gust of hot air mixed with ale, wine, and the smell of bacon and sausage poured in with laughter and laughter. Babrupa's high-pitched singing voice was particularly eye-catching. Levi shook his head with a wry smile, obviously The knights outside ate, drank and played all night, and it has not stopped until now.

"Come in, Donna, blood of my blood." Levi said to the burly man standing in front of the room. Boots up to above the knee.The man obviously came here in a snowstorm, because all the clothes and his beard and hair were covered with a thick layer of snowflakes.If it weren't for the reminder of the probing technique, Li Wei didn't even know if he could recognize him at a glance.

"What happened to make you rush here overnight in such a heavy wind and snow?" Li Wei watched Tang Na struggling to move his feet, and hurriedly reached out to support him. The feeling from his hands was like ice, The thick cloak of wool felt had been frozen as hard as stone in the blizzard.

"Lord Li Wei," Tang Na's voice was hoarse, full of anxiety and exhaustion, "Vice Archbishop Belia of the Earth Temple suddenly fell ill, and his condition developed rapidly." Following his speaking movements , the snowflakes on his face fell down one after another, "The Archbishop of the Temple of Storms Bovava cast a healing spell on him, but the effect was not obvious. According to the judgment of His Excellency, what appeared on the vice archbishop of Beria was not an ordinary disease , but... a divine backlash occurred."

The last few words, it was extremely difficult for Tang Na to utter, because his previous adventure life had given him an understanding of Divine Backlash, which shouldn't happen to pious priests.Generally speaking, most of the people who have this terrible curse similar to a disease are blasphemers who have stolen divine power, or... converts!
Archdeacon Beria clearly should not be either of these two types of people.

"Divine backlash...has it appeared so soon?" Li Wei did not doubt the judgment of Archbishop Bovavar, because apart from blasphemers and converts, there is another possibility of divine backlash, that is, the god he believes in. Only has fallen!
On the night when the miracle of Caggino's descent occurred, the vice archbishop of Beria came to Li Wei and told all his worries about the fall of Caggino, the god of the earth, and also saw through the so-called A trick of miracles.The vice-archbishop of Beria offered to change his faith and allegiance in exchange for the removal of the backlash of his divine power as a condition, but Li Wei chose to remain silent in consideration of the possibility of accidents if he agreed rashly.

It appears that a choice must now be made.

"Blood of my blood, Donna, you have been driving all night in the snow. You must be hungry now. Let's eat something first and drink some wine to warm up." Li Wei suggested.

"It's nothing, my body can bear it." Donna wiped the ice and snow from his face and body and said, "Master Li Wei, let someone prepare some food for the road, we should set off immediately."

"No, don't even think about it." Li Wei pressed Tang Na's shoulders without thinking, and said firmly: "I will go to Green Castle to deal with the matter of the vice archbishop of Beria, but you must stay here , Wait for the body to fully recover, and then set off with the team."

"How can that be done? Master Li Wei, I must be by your side, lead the way for you, and protect your safety." Donna opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then he saw worry in Li Wei's expression, "Don't worry "Well," he said, patting his generous chest, "The Roaring Bear is very strong, but he won't be knocked down by this weak wind and snow."

"What you need now is rest." Li Wei didn't listen to his excuse, because in the touch of the palm, although Tang Na's arm was still as hard as a rock, it was trembling uncontrollably. "The blizzard last night was terrific. No matter who you are, you will encounter unimaginable danger." Li Wei said in a heavy voice, "I want to thank the benevolent Father God for not taking you, the blood of my blood, Donna, from the world. , sent to the Eternal Night Kingdom of the Sleeping Guide."

"I'm fine, Lord Li Wei, and..." Tang Na's disapproving excuse was cut off by Li Wei's gesture.

"I know that the life and death of Vice Archbishop Beria is very important, and it is related to whether the Temple of the Earth still supports us." The young lord said what he wanted to defend before Tang Na opened his mouth. "However, this does not mean that you should risk your life for this." Li Wei told him sternly, "You can wait until the wind and snow subsides before going on the road, or order the griffin to deliver the message."

"Vice Archbishop Beria may not wait until the blizzard subsides, and the Griffin may also lose its way in the blizzard like last night," Tang Na said. "If anyone can ride through a snowstorm without getting lost, it's me."

"Blood of my blood, Donna, do you still remember the original oath?" Li Wei's question made Donner's face turn redder. "Don't dare to forget at all times!" His voice was deep and firm, "That is an oath made with the soul, and the oath witnessed by blood, which transcends the boundary between life and death. Once it is spoken, it will last forever, and the rest of life is governed by the oath. .”

"In that case, please revisit it with me, Blood of My Blood Donna." After speaking, Li Wei's voice became solemn, and every word seemed to carry a heart-shattering heaviness. "I swear by my soul, and bear the witness of my blood, I accept the allegiance of the man in front of me, regard him as a brother, and call him the blood of my blood..."

Excitement flashed across Tang Na's face, and the oath echoed in his chest, as long as he opened his mouth, it would rush out. "I swear by my soul, and bear witness to my blood, I am willing to be the shield and spear of the man in front of me against the enemy, guarding his rear and sides, and dedicating my life and glory to him..."

The clear voice of the young man mixed with the deep voice of the middle-aged man, shaking the air in the room. "...To live and die with him, to fight side by side, forever! This oath starts today, and it will be the same tomorrow, every day, until death!"

The oath landed, and silence enveloped the room again.After a long time, Li Wei's voice sounded again, "We are brothers, we will live and die together..." He glanced at Tang Na whose lips were squirming,

"So, I don't want to see you taking risks like this again in the future, blood of my blood. Soul blood swears that I will shed the same blood as you. If I lose you, it will be tantamount to cutting off my limbs." Li While performing the healing technique, Wei told Tang Na that the ball of white light entered Tang Na's body, making him shiver involuntarily. His face recovered from being livid from the cold, but it was still glowing with a strange fiery red . "Now your task is to take a good rest, and then escort the convoy to the refugee camp." Seeing what Tang Na wanted to say, Li Wei said to him very simply: "This is an order, you must obey it!"

"Order? Master Li Wei, but who will lead the way for you and protect your safety on the way?"

"The leader of Mengmeng and its lynx troops can lead me the way and protect me from wolves and wild beasts." Li Wei replied him, "Blood of my blood Donna, are you my brother and subordinate? ? If so, obey the order."

Tang Na straightened his body, as if he had to exhaust all his strength to be able to spit out the answer. "Obey, Lord Li Wei."

"Very well, you can rest here. The bed is ready. I'll greet the people outside and prepare a meal for you." Li Wei turned and went out. His movements were very fast, and the food prepared last night was still there. There are many left untouched, just a little heating.But when he turned back with a plate full of food, Donna was already lying on the pile of ferns and fell asleep, snoring like thunder.

When Li Wei left Zabotin Town on Black Nightmare just now, the sky hadn't completely cleared up yet, but the wind was not as strong as last night, and it no longer rolled up clusters of snow and mist on his face.The sky was completely leaden gray, and the golden face of Flandara was completely covered by the clouds. Coupled with the blocking of the lush branches and leaves, the light in the forest was quite weak.

Mengmeng, the big bobcat, accompanied Li Wei all the way forward, his figure flickered in the forest, like a ghost, and its subordinates were scattered to a farther distance to advance together.Relying on the prestige of jungle predators, whether it is wolves or other ferocious beasts, they can only escape from the lair with their tails between their legs. A few wild beasts that have been tortured by hunger to the point of madness hesitate for a moment, and are killed by a few big bobcats. The minions drowned in it, torn to shreds in the blink of an eye.

Along the way, Li Wei's ears often heard similar wailing, but each time it didn't take long.The road to Greencastle was very long. Li Wei first passed the refugee camp, but he didn't stop there, but continued to move forward without stopping. The speed of the black nightmare was astonishing even if he was walking through the forest. Soon the small mining village The figure was also left behind.

After passing the small mining village, the blizzard finally subsided. Although snowflakes still fell from time to time, golden sunlight could already be seen falling from the gaps in the clouds.However, with the appearance of the sun, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the cold wind blowing on the face is as painful as a sharp knife, so Li Wei has to use fighting energy to protect his body.

Fortunately, Black Nightmare, a hybrid creature of purgatory, hates the cold, but is not afraid, and does not need Li Wei's protection, and the big lynx's cute fur is like a ball of hair jumping on the branches, which did not let their The speed slowed down due to the cold, and shortly after noon, the griffin flag flying on the top of Green Castle came into view.
