Chapter 365 Devil Rose
As the last heirs of the Northwind family, Diana and Simaco were assigned a four-wheeled carriage belonging to a noble family, but that was all.The battered exile team in Sword Castle had no spare manpower, and Simako was unwilling to let strangers get close to his sister, so he simply became a coachman himself.

What prevented Diana from waking up was not her physical wounds, but the black sludge from jealousy of the apostle Pandora. Those sludges were like the most vicious curse in the world. After the battle, they still lurked in her flesh and refused to leave. Even under the treatment of Shengguang, there was no obvious sign of improvement.

This made Tiana almost start to wonder if the divine power she bought with blood had been discounted, but the fact is that the sun god is not so narrow-minded, and the same divine spell has a remarkable effect on Simaco.

"That half-tone can't even heal the scars on your own face, so don't count on God's gift." El was not speaking to Simaco, but to the young girl standing in front of him in a spirit state.

"From a certain point of view, we have a common enemy, so we will do everything possible to treat her. So you don't have to worry..." El said softly.

"I'll leave everything to you, General." The girl's soul bowed slightly to salute, her body gradually dissipated into the air, scattered into bits and pieces of starlight and gathered on El's palm.

Devouring the soul can plunder nearly [-]% of the opponent's power. Although it can only be used to consume but not accumulate, it is enough to change the outcome of a battle.But El never thought of relying on a little girl to nourish himself. He chose to make up for Kiki's last wish and released her soul.

The souls of mortals without the favor of gods will return to the river of souls, which is also the destination of all things.Al is not yet capable of freeing his beloved girl, but within his reach, if he can help, of course he will not refuse.

His kindness was reciprocated. Before leaving, Qiqi left a generous gift—the inherited swordsmanship of the Beifeng family.These imprints deeply imprinted on the soul are meaningless to the dead, but they allow El to directly grasp the exact same understanding of swordsmanship as hers.

El opened his eyes, stretched out his index finger and moved forward lightly, and the fallen leaves falling from the air shattered silently.He had personally experienced the sword realm in Cyprus, and now he has gained the foundation of Beifeng swordsmanship, which is equivalent to opening up a brand new path for himself.

Other people's silver secrets can only move forward on one road with difficulty, but El has just merged his two roads into one, and there is another three-way intersection in front of him. It is hard to say whether this is his opportunity or another challenge .

"God is omnipotent, but divine power is not omnipotent." Kobold Apache said, shaking his head, "I believe in the goddess of the earth, but even the vast and boundless earth cannot break the wings of birds. In terms of treating these intractable diseases, Believers of the Goddess of Life have more say than believers of the Sun God.”

There are also a few Maple Leaf nuns from the Temple of Life in the exile team, but the divine power of those little girls is of little use.If the Maple Leaf Sisters had kept their part-time jobs intact at that time, maybe they could have helped a little, but now... they can only be counted as ordinary priests.

In addition to Diana, El now has to deal with another troublesome problem, and that is Laurana.According to the kobold's description, in order to protect the safety of the camp, Laurana exhausted her vitality and released a wide range of forbidden spells, and the price she paid for this was a deep coma—another special case that cannot be cured by ordinary magic spells.

"What the hell is that?" El asked suspiciously. He had seen the black thorns driven by Laurana, and he vaguely knew that those black thorns were almost symbiotic with her.But he didn't know anything about the true face of that thing, and he didn't expect that kind of power to erupt.

He suddenly remembered that old Jupiter seemed to have told him about Laurana's illness. Could it be this kind of black thorn?

"Oh, that's not a plant that grows naturally on the earth, maybe it came from the Black Forest or something more evil." The kobold shook his head with a bitter face and said, "Shouldn't you consult a professional about this kind of thing?"

The eyes of the two turned to the third person, and the latter had just bandaged the big crow lying on his knee, raised his head to reveal the unique vertical pupils of the Kor tribe, and smiled wryly at El: "Unfortunately, my lord general , that is not a creature of Zendikar, and if I had managed to dispose of it, it would not have been captured by Lord Laurana."

Perhaps because of Hagnan's deliberate protection, Tima also survived the last battle, as did Hemchacha, the big crow who was shot by El's arrow at the beginning of the battle. It is also a creature from Zendikar, and its vitality is quite tenacious.

The reason why Tima can stay here is mainly because she carried the comatose Al back to the exile's camp.Although she kept secret about the outcome of the last battle, she was forgiven by Pallanti and allowed her to return to her daughter just because of saving lives.

"You're asking the wrong person, idiot." Heim Chacha raised his head from Tima's hand with difficulty, and shouted in a mocking voice: "Tima has no talent since she was a child, and she doesn't know anything about my family's inheritance. But for the sake of you being able to take her in, I can reluctantly give you a hint."

"I think the gray goblin chefs must be full of curiosity about the taste of your wings." The kobold said maliciously, wiping his small shovel.

"I don't want a reminder, just speak up if you have something to say." El raised his right hand, revealing a shimmering rune totem, and said, staring at the big crow expressionlessly.

"You've already killed me once, but I'm still living here." Heim Chacha sneered disdainfully: "Don't think that violence can solve all problems, you can't do anything to me!"

"Are you sure?" El curled his lips, stared into the big crow's eyes and snorted coldly: "Do you think I don't know why you stay here so shamelessly? Jasmine of Baiyue..."

"Shut up!" Heim Chacha shouted angrily, "Damn it, you don't understand how terrifying that is! If you don't want to cause trouble, then never mention that 'adjective' again!"

"Okay, let's take a step back." El shrugged disapprovingly, expressing his understanding of the Kor's taboo: "Nowhere is safe now, I don't know how important the thread of fate that Pandora saw is to you, But you can stay and promise to take care of the child's safety. In exchange, you will help me solve my problems."

"I can't solve that woman's problem, but I know what it is." Heimchacha's eyes flickered, and he tilted his head and said, "The God of Nature established an orderly cycle of the biosphere in this world, bringing all 'Outliers' are excluded. Zendikar, our homeworld, is just one exception, and what's on your woman is another 'outlier'. If it's what Tima describes, it can only come from hell Devil Rose!"

"Creatures that don't belong to nature... devil's rose?" El frowned, it was hard for him to understand this definition.In his impression, the definition of nature is the forest in his hometown, and creatures are the animals and plants in the forest.But what he had seen of the Zendikar swamp that night in Swordkeep was beyond his knowledge of nature.

If it is said that the Kor, a legendary race, possessed such inexplicable things, it would be fine. Laurana is a genuine human girl, and El knew her father a few years ago.Although he once doubted how that old fellow Jupiter could give birth to such a monstrous breed... But Laurana's teacher, Master Stephen, seems to be at least a reliable person, how could he let her appear like this? Mutations?

Recalling the rose tattoo on Laurana's back and the weird attitudes of her elders that she had peeked at in the mage's tower before, El seemed to realize something.

"The specialties from hell are all chaotic, and the devil rose is notorious for devouring flesh and blood. I have never heard that human beings can nourish creatures from hell with flesh and blood." Hemcha Zha laughed and said, "Perhaps that girl is a demon in human skin!"

From a certain point of view...it seems to be the case.

"Didn't it mean that those thorns... the roses have been burned?" El turned to look at the kobold.

"How do I know? Why do you all regard me as a prophet?" The kobold asked innocently, but he quickly retreated under the gaze of El, shaking his head and shouting: "Okay, okay , let me take a look for you... I’ll say it again, I’m just a geomancer, I’m not a Kor prophet! You turn to crows and kobolds for help with such trivial matters, don’t you care about the dignity of the human race?”

"Human dignity?" El opened the door curtain of the carriage, looked at the men who lined up in two lines outside, with only their trousers left on their bodies, and sighed: "The so-called Kingdom Guards are these things , how can human beings have any dignity at all?"

"Master Apache, the reason I turn to you is because you are one of the few wise men in this team, and this has nothing to do with race." El turned his head and said seriously to the kobold: "Our real enemy is worse than the plague." It is even more terrifying, so on the road ahead, we must unite every strength."

"I see the flame of ambition in your eyes!" Hemchacha laughed softly.

　After eating oysters given by a friend, the whole family suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and spent the whole weekend in the smell of feces and urine... It killed me~
