"Even I can't bear to see such a young girl wither, but this matter should be decided by you."
"Maybe we should think of another way..."
Half the chance of failure is unacceptable, Hyde scratched his hair in distress, but he also knew that Ella didn't have that much time to wait any longer.
"No, only she can decide this matter."
"Mephisto!"
Hyde was surprised. He thought Lingcai would be the hardest person to accept this chance, but the other party's voice became very determined.
Ella can be awakened early, but in this way, the time she can stay awake will be shorter.
Ling ignored the furious Hyde. She lowered her head and whispered something to the girl in her arms.
Ella's eyelashes fluttered a few times, but she didn't open her eyes.She already understood the current situation, but the silver-haired girl herself didn't know why, even though it might be a farewell, she still didn't want to meet Shang Ling's eyes now.
The other person's body temperature made the girl tremble uncontrollably. If she saw those eyes now—maybe she would never be able to make up her mind.
Ella just nodded silently.
-
When Ella's back touched the water surface of the death coffin, her body temperature and pulse began to slow down rapidly, and some cold force penetrated from the skin to the bone marrow.This is somewhat similar to the state of suspended animation when using the "Unclean" mark, but it is completely different in essence.
Uncleanness simply reduces physical activity as much as possible, entering a hibernation-like state to simulate death.The special thing about the death coffin is that people who enter the miniature underworld have been identified as "dead", not imitating but accepting, not disguising but transforming.
The instinct of the body seems to be resisting this process, and the magic power is condensed under the skin to block the invasion of cold forces, but under Ayla's active control, this instinct is suppressed to the minimum.
Her consciousness began to become blurred, and some weird and disorderly lights and shadows began to swirl and flow in front of her eyes.Ella once saw this saying in some boring books. Before death, people will see some sporadic memory fragments like this, and try to find a way to save themselves from past experiences. This is a subconscious self-help behavior .
"So it turns out that I still want to live subconsciously?"
With a self-deprecating laugh, Ayla turned her attention back to the scattered memory fragments.
It was a picture of her life in a factory as a child, washing clothes in bone-chilling slurry.There are also dappled spots of light as warm as small candles when I was in Kraft.The scene of chatting with Shadow Hyde and the others, the time alone with Ling...
When the cold touch covered the whole body, the biting chill faded away, and the surrounding was a gentle and nostalgic darkness.
Those pictures gradually became messy and unrecognizable, and some figures that seemed a little strange to Ella appeared in the chaotic light and shadow.Accompanied by the sound of the clock hand turning, and irritating murmurs.
"When did I see these people..."
Ella vaguely felt that something was wrong, and the sense of dislocation that was both familiar and strange made her feel uncomfortable.Maybe this is just the memory that she had been in the past, showing some clues in this extreme state, but Ella's thinking has become like a rusty gear, and it seems to be separated by a layer of rough glass chaos And stagnant.
The chaotic human voice lingered in her ears, but she couldn't distinguish the content at all, and the two people with blurred faces sitting opposite were also annihilated in the depth of the light.
"Am I going to die?"
A thought rose up unnaturally, and at the same time, there was an unexplainable anger, which seemed to come from the last roar of the body's instinct, and had nothing to do with her own consciousness.This sounds a little ridiculous, she felt as if her body and spirit had become two separate entities.
But at least for now, she still occupies a dominant position.
"Maybe it would be nice to go to sleep like this, forgetting to breathe, forgetting about everything... so I don't hurt anyone, not her."
The roaring raving in the consciousness stopped at this moment, and all the sounds from the outside world were cut off by the water surface, leaving only eternal silence.
Ella Williams died at this moment.
-
Ling thought that her strength would not lose to the three brothers of the Mephisto family. As one of the strongest Mephistos at her age, she had a pair of very stable hands.
But now her hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the lifeless body in the cast steel coffin in front of her made her mind go blank.Even though she knew this was just a manifestation of the holy object's effect, her heart still stopped beating in an instant.
"This is how she died..."
Shaking her head to get rid of the thought, she convinced herself again that this so-called chance of success would never be random.
The more powerful a person is, the more likely he will be able to survive at this time, and Ayla is a strong one.
——The only thing that makes Ling feel uneasy is the other party's current will to survive. Although Aila didn't say anything during the short waking process, her thoughts were almost completely written on her face.
Ella has self-destructive urges, something Ling can be sure of, and it's her job to fix that.
Ling took a deep breath and quickly looked away.
Using both hands, she grabbed the cast steel coffin lid that required four hunters to lift it, and slowly pushed it back along the groove until the coffin lid blocked the light and closed the gap.
"You have a good rest first."
She murmured in an inaudible voice, then took a step back and jumped off the bronze base of the carriage.
A voice came from not far away, it was Fitili who appeared at some unknown time.
"Anpusha's death coffin can be most effective under special circumstances, and unlike the lidded coffin, the user must also be awakened under specific circumstances. If possible, let's set off now, the sooner we can get there The better chance she has of waking up when she goes back.”
After witnessing all this, Jeffrey's face became a little unnatural.In order to use this heaviest sacred object, he specially selected a few knights with strong physical strength before setting off, but even they needed to work together to shake the coffin lid.
Different from what it looks like on the surface, the weight of the cast steel coffin lid is not just its material itself. The powerful magic power contained in the underworld will repel or even absorb the physical strength of the living upon contact.In addition, its own weight, which is mixed with unknown materials, also exceeds ten tons.
But the woman in front of her lifted it alone, and the other party was slender and tall, not at all like the hunters under her who needed to expand her body to strengthen her strength.
The Enochian felt that he had a new understanding of the sorcerer of the material world.Before he set off, he got some rumors through his own channels. It is said that the lunatic corpse collector Nils died in the material world.
Soon the news blew through the city of Enoch like the wind.
The rest of the clan often questioned because of jealousy. They believed that Nils had climbed to such a high status with the help of the Queen's favor, but Geoffrey Femont was in this land of Nod. A person with strong combat power.
Pride and prejudice have blinded the eyes of the nobles, especially those mad dogs of the Holy Blood Party. They are not only blinded but blinded.
Thinking of this, Jeffrey couldn't help showing an ugly sneer with the corner of his mouth down, destroying the original delicate and delicate face.
The next contact might be more interesting than he thought.
Jeffrey quickly glanced at Fitili who had just spoken out of the corner of his eye, and he recognized this young woman who looked very similar to Niels almost at a glance.Although he hadn't personally experienced that incident, he also knew that this person was the legendary figure who successfully escaped from Enoch more than ten years ago.
If Niels is really dead, then there are probably only one or two people left in Enoch who have the name "Cain".
Contrary to imagination, the information that this lord has grasped seems to have far exceeded the expectations of the nobles of Enoch.
In such a chaotic time, a new pureblood coming to the royal city meant a huge storm. Jeffrey straightened his collar. He thought he was now standing ahead of the majority.
Chapter 68 Not Me
Walkley stayed in Aphra, and he was certified by the city of Enoch in this operation. Since then, he can be said to be the highest-ranking figure in the gathering place except for the agent.And the dirty blood Bill continued to follow the team, and depending on his merits, Jeffrey promised him a chance to join the clan.
Before noon, the two reconciled teams left Afra.Enoch's messengers only added some cursed thin fresh water, and they felt that the food in the wilderness was too rough even to feed the horses.
But after seeing the food that Geoffrey and the others carried, Hyde no longer had expectations for the taste of Enoch nobles.
As it was getting late, the team gradually stayed at the position relying on the mountain wall to set up a camp. The nobles' followers and waiters set up small pots on the ground, lit a kind of incense-like plant leaves, and then fried them on the iron pot. Meat.
They look like ordinary steaks or lambs. Although they are not like the black and unknown things in the wilderness, they still exude the pungent smell of blood.In Nod, blood seemed to be more than just a tool used to neutralize curses, they seemed to develop into something akin to seasoning.Various blood pickles have become a unique flavor food here.
Watching the waiter brush the red viscous liquid that looked like honey on a piece of steak, Hyde was a little reluctant to imagine how this kind of thing was made.
He took a sip of clear water from the leather bag, but even here there was still a faint smell of blood.
"Damn the Nodites."
He couldn't help cursing in a low voice, and turned back to his carriage.Counting the part recovered from the mob stronghold, the mission group now has a total of seventeen scale horses, which is enough to house all the members of the wizard group and easily haul items and resources.
In less than five hours after leaving Afra, the welcome team and the mission were attacked by two groups of mobs.Compared with the frequency of attacks near Aphra, this number is already quite small. The dragon banner of Enoch's pro-guards can scare off most of the small-scale wilderness refugees, so those who dare to test and even attack the team are the number of people Hundreds of armed mobs.
But from another point of view, I am afraid that the number of mobs who dared to attack the cavalry under the banner of Enoch in the past ten years did not add up to so many recently.
This time, the enemy didn't seem to show the terrifying power gained by igniting their own curse, so there was no need for the alliance or the wizards of the Elbion Brotherhood to intervene, and Enoch's messengers easily wiped them out took them.
Geoffrey Fairmont stated that it was his duty to protect the envoys from reaching Enoch, and that it would be dishonoring to his honor to borrow the power of the protege.
Enoch's nobles are obviously more adapted to the wild environment than the wizards, and they are also experienced in dealing with armed mobs.
The subordinates and waiters who were originally in charge of doing chores quickly rehearsed in a group of three to form a neat semicircle. The front row raised the wing-shaped wall that looked like a shield but not a shield to cover the vital points, and the second row half squatted to mount a large-caliber smoothbore gun with a long wooden handle. on the shoulders of the former.
The range of their weapons is almost an entire era ahead of the muskets used for hunting in the hands of the mob. The blood-soaked glyph bullets exploded into flames and metal debris before hitting the target, and a large cloud of lead covered the head and face. Sprinkled in the ranks of the mob.
The untreated shrapnel contained strong curse power, and those who were hit by them had little chance of surviving.After each round of shooting is completed, the third row of guards will alternate their positions and aim again with the reloaded musket.
In contrast, the miscellaneous weapons in the hands of the mob could hardly break through the protection of the Enochians.The silver wall should be made of the same material as the hunter's armor, and while protecting their vital points, they would not dodge or evade at all.After a few stray bullets touched their bodies, they would be quickly squeezed out by the wriggling muscles, and the wounds returned to normal in less than a minute.
It is unbelievable that nearly a hundred subordinates and attendants under this team are all dirty blood pariahs or lower clan members!
Even if such a team is useless in the face of a truly powerful enemy, it is completely sufficient to suppress these mobs with backward weapons in all directions.
Only after two rounds of reloading and shooting, most of the attackers were killed or injured, and at this moment, the silver armored knights unhurriedly set up a frontal formation, and after several repeated charges and tramples, the remaining mob of less than a hundred people They are divided into several parts.
The ensuing battle was nothing but a one-sided massacre.
-
Jeffrey, who was talkative and humble when facing the representatives of the embassy, seemed to be a completely different person when dealing with the mob captives.After taking and killing half of the captives, he began to ask some symbolic questions.
Facing the resistance of the mob, he cut his finger without hesitation, and the viscous blood burned like oil, completely roasting a female mob's legs into black coke.If you ignore her somewhat bluish complexion, this mob actually looks good, although this beauty is more inclined to animal cuteness than human so-called beauty and ugliness.
But even so, the enoch of Enoch turned a deaf ear to the latter's struggle and screams, and there was neither pity nor morbid excitement in the eyes of Enoch.
Geoffrey Fairmont's attitude towards these wilderness people was like facing the weeds that can be seen everywhere. Only then did Hyde remember what Walkley had said, not only Enoch's nobles, but even they never took those bodies Severely alienated mobs once thought of themselves as their own kind.
The wild people who appeared here did not know more than the previous groups. Even if they tortured several people with harsh methods, the answers Jeffrey got were only "holy one" and "new king", which was touching. Nonsensical nonsense.
After confirming that he could not get any more news, Jeffrey waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to deal with all the mobs.It is meaningless to bring these people back to Enoch. With such a degree of physical alienation, even the filthy blood would not be willing to drink their blood.
Their methods were clean and neat, leaving only nearly a hundred corpses on the wilderness.
Except for Val Farmigne, who was always watching everything with a smile on her face, and Victoria, who was expressionless, this efficient killing made most of the envoys look a little unnatural.Although they also destroyed many human lives after they set foot on this land, there still seems to be some difference between this and the massacre made by Jeffrey.
A blatant disgust flashed in Fittili's eyes. During the years she had been away, Nod hadn't changed in any way, and Nils had grown up in such an environment.
Lucien sighed. Although he didn't have any affection for these scavenging hyenas, he also couldn't agree that Jeffrey Femont and those bloody hunters were his own kind.
The blood seeped into the black soil and quickly disappeared. The blood-soaked soil looked a little dirty and greasy, and this color spread forward until it was out of sight.
Chapter 69 The Heart Must Be Different
The upper layer of Enoch's city was shrouded in a thick gray mist, and the moonlight and the interlaced light bands of day and night could hardly illuminate this area.
Across the spider web-like intricate bridges and corridors, in the Nophile Hall of Enoch's side hall, there are several people with different temperaments sitting around the round table.
The light in the Nofiler Hall is really dark for ordinary humans. Apart from the crimson moonlight flowing faintly on the stained glass, there are only a few dim candlesticks on the wall in the rotunda with a diameter of more than 30 meters.
