Shen Yan followed Zhao Kuo to the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group and immediately went to see Zhao Lan and Bei'er.
Zhao Lan is taking care of Belle.
Shen Yan opened the specially cooked chicken soup and fed it to the lovely Belle. This little girl was still so young, but she encountered such misfortune, which made her quiet little figure look really pitiful.
Belle prayed first, probably to thank God for giving her food.
Zhao Lan, who was next to him, frowned but said nothing.
Belle took a sip of chicken soup, her eyes narrowed, and she said happily: "Did the college drink chicken soup today? It tastes so good. I haven't been to the college for the whole day. When I was lying down, I kept thinking about what to do in the college at this time. Now, I’m so good at Go that even Chuan Lu can’t beat me.”
Maybe he had been lying there for too long, chatting happily.
Shen Yan smiled, no one in the academy could afford chicken soup. This was a chicken he specially killed, and he asked old doctor Sun Ci to pick up some mild herbs that nourished Qi and blood to make the chicken soup.
After chatting with Belle for a few words, Belle's condition seemed to be stable, but the white cloth wrapping the wound on her wrist looked shocking.
Belle didn't seem to know anything, she just thought she had been attacked and unexpected.
Shen Yan called Zhao Lan aside and wanted to ask about the specific process, but Zhao Lan just said that his father invited the Spirit Tribe and Abyss to come to discuss together, and his father would explain the matter clearly when the time comes.
Shen Yan was still a little confused at first. What was the difference between Zhao Lan telling it himself and him listening later?
When Xiao Lingchen, the White King of the Spirit Tribe, and Li Xiang of the Abyss came, Shen Yan knew why Zhao Lan could not tell the story in person. It was estimated that no one could experience such hurt twice without any troubles.
Xiao Lingchen and Li Xiang arrived a little later. It was not as easy for them to enter the city as it was for Shen Yan. They needed to go through some necessary and complicated steps.
On the Mercenary City side, in addition to the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group, the Tiger and Leopard Mercenary Group, representatives from several other large mercenary groups also came. After all, it was about Demon Abraham, not a single mercenary group.
It’s the same room door, that basement.
One after another, people came into the basement to take a look. In addition to the strange scene, the basement was also a little dark and dark.
Now that I have lit several oil lamps, I can see clearly.
Shen Yan came here carrying the sacristy box this time because he could bring the old wizard Uther with him. The old wizard Uther's knowledge was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Shen Yan also went down to the basement to take a look.
As soon as he entered, the old wizard Uther clicked his tongue: "The spell on the wall is the blood curse of the Blood Dynasty."
"I didn't expect anyone to use blood curses now."
The Blood Dynasty was the last dynasty to disappear among the four dynasties formed after the split of the Eternal Dynasty. It has been hundreds of years ago.
Let alone hundreds of years, there are no dedicated recorders of history in this world. In just one hundred years, many things will be forgotten.
Shen Yan frowned when he looked at the scarlet spell on the wall. In today's world, the only people who can use blood spells are His Highness Gaia, the Crown Prince of the Blood Dynasty, and the Legend of Immortality.
Especially Bozi, I heard that he is particularly specialized in the rituals left over from the Blood Dynasty.
Could the spell on the wall be related to these two people? The two of them were members of the Monster Organization in Sin City.
Shen Yan lowered his voice and asked, "What does this blood curse do?"
Uther replied: "It is estimated that only people from the Blood Dynasty know."
Shen Yan continued to walk down. The basement was very empty. It was clear at a glance that only the coffin in the middle door was left.
Shen Yan: "..."
It is another antique from the past. Judging from the materials and patterns of this worn-out coffin, it should be a style only used by princes of the Yuan Dynasty.
The coffin was tightly tied with rusty iron locks, which were driven into the ground.
Someone next to him was saying: "This iron lock is a bit strange. It should be used to prevent the legend inside the coffin from suddenly waking up and escaping."
An iron lock that can seal a legend is something uncommon.
Shen Yan also took a closer look. The iron lock was rusty and looked far from sturdy.
It should be an iron lock used on bridges, which was removed and used to lock coffins.
Shen Yan estimated that this iron lock should also come from the old days, because if you look closely, you can see that there is a strong pollution power contained in it. Only such ordinary things that have experienced the old days can carry such a powerful source of pollution and be imprisoned with such a powerful source of pollution. legend.
Things with sources of pollution are not easy to destroy. For example, old documents and ordinary paper can be preserved for tens of thousands of years without any change.
The most conspicuous thing on the coffin was the blood stain. Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, because the blood stain on it could not be formed in a day or two.
Shen Yan only knew that the blood coffin this time was a blood donation using the blood of Zhao Lan and Bei'er, but he didn't know the rest.
His brows furrowed involuntarily, blood stains over the years?
After watching for a while, there didn't seem to be many other clues, and then I followed the person out of the basement.
Everyone outside took their seats and were already talking about it.
Captain Zhao of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group was explaining some information they knew.
"This basement was not built by our Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group. We didn't know it existed before yesterday."
The first words silenced the other voices.
They themselves don’t know about the buildings in the Jagged Mercenary Group’s headquarters?
"The blood coffin inside, we don't know where it came from."
"I discovered it only because of the accident last night..."
Captain Zhao began to tell what happened, and every sentence that followed was unbelievable and horrifying.
That kind of horror is not fear or horror, but a deformed human challenge, which is really hard to accept.
Shen Yan's pupils also dilated when he heard this. No wonder Zhao Lan couldn't tell the process in person just now.
That's not a mother, that's simply a devil.
Captain Zhao's expression was extremely complicated. His marriage to the Holy See was a revenge from beginning to end. It was a sanction imposed on heretics by the Heresy Tribunal, but... it was just that the method was too cruel.
The most innocent among them should be Zhao Lan and Beier.
The scene was quiet.
I don’t even know how many people still have expressions of disbelief on their faces. Is this something a person can do?
And the Holy See may seem hypocritical to them, but what it always preaches is love.
Regarding the role of Zhao Lan and Bei'er in this matter, Captain Zhao naturally did not want to let others know, but he
They are the key clues again.
I don’t know how long it took before someone spoke up: “Even so, how can we be sure that this blood coffin is related to Abraham’s rebirth?”
Captain Zhao said: "You should still remember that the last time the demon Abraham came was from our iron-blooded mercenary group."
"There are some details that you may not be aware of. Before the last arrival of the demon Abraham, Zhao Lan was also bled once, and his blood entered the secret room containing the blood coffin through the vent."
"Two identical blood sacrifices are definitely not a coincidence."
Besides, it was Mrs. Haylis who facilitated the blood sacrifice.
Everyone was also shocked.
"Isn't it because of the rebellion in Zuicheng last time?"
"Is it also related to the Holy See?"
Captain Zhao continued: "The cause of the matter is still unclear, but the fact is that if this blood coffin is really related to Abraham's rebirth, then the Holy See secretly provided the condition of "blood sacrifice."
In fact, there are still many questions, such as why only the blood of Zhao Lan and Beier can be used in the blood sacrifice ceremony?
For example, the last time Abraham came, it was only Zhao Lan's blood that entered through the vent, which directly led to Abraham's coming. But this time, the blood stains on the blood coffin were obviously formed over many years, so After a long time of blood sacrifice, why hasn’t Abraham come yet?
There are many unexplained doubts, but they still can't get rid of the clues they already know.
Everyone discussed for a while, and it stands to reason that the ceremony should be the same for Abraham to be reborn.
The discussion turned to the differences between that night and the current situation.
Because the Abyss and the Spirit Tribe had never experienced that night, they were mostly distinguishing carefully.
The ones who know the most information should be the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group. Try to describe the situation that night in as much detail as possible.
At this time, the old wizard Uther suddenly said: "The blood corpse wore a blood-stained shroud? The blood corpse is the legend of the third prologue of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group. When sleeping in the blood coffin, the clothes must be It's very appropriate. If the demon Abraham didn't have any special hobbies, he wouldn't wear such a dirty bloody robe. If you ask about this robe in detail, I do know such an evil thing."
Only Shen Yan could hear Uther's voice. Shen Yan said something through the time gate between everyone: "When the legend entered the blood coffin to sleep, was he dressed so dirty and sloppy?"
Someone replied: "Of course not."
What are you thinking about? How could the legend in their group, who has a noble status, wear rags?
After saying that, he was stunned again: "The body of the bloody corpse at that time was indeed the legend of our regiment, but the robe on his body was full of bloodstains from ancient times."
"If you think about it carefully, the blood stain must be hundreds of years old."
It would be difficult to find something like this even if you were to look for it temporarily.
"After the demon Abraham was reborn, he went to find a piece of dirty clothes?"
This is absolutely impossible, and he can only put on that bloody robe before he was reborn.
At this time, the White King Xiao Lingchen said: "In the records of my spiritual tribe, the Holy See has a bloody robe, a blasphemous shroud. It is said that it was the wife of the first pope who left it behind when she died."
This involves the history of the Holy See. Although the first pope was great, his wife and lover did not know why.
All died.
Especially his wife, who committed suicide and died, her blood stained the robe, and the twisted resentment made the robe extremely evil.
It is said that the first pope was God's spokesperson in the world and was too holy. Anyone who was too close to him would appear dirty and blasphemous to God, so he died of shame.
This period of history is too ugly and has long been erased by the Holy See. Perhaps only people from that era, or beings with relatively long lives like the Eldar, still know a little bit about it.
The reason why Bai Wang Xiao Lingchen mentioned it was: "The blasphemous shroud can speed up the process of all evil rituals."
Everyone looked at each other.
Mrs. Haylis comes from the Holy See and is related to the current Pope. In other words, it is possible to come into contact with this blasphemous shroud.
Of course, everything is speculation. The blasphemous shroud was turned into nothingness by the attack of the demigod Victor that night. It is impossible to find and confirm it.
But if it is true, then it can explain why the two ceremonies are different.
Once the blasphemous shroud was used, the blood sacrifice was successful and the demon Abraham descended.
Now this blood coffin requires the use of blood sacrifices over many years. The ceremony has not yet been completed, so naturally it cannot directly resurrect Abraham like the last time.
"Did Abraham really choose the mercenary city for his resurrection point, or was it artificially promoted?"
"What do they want to do? That is the demon that will lead to the destruction of the Eternal Dynasty."
The occurrence of these things also proved the content of the warning letter Zhao Kuo wrote to them.
It also made the Spiritual Clan more certain about the authenticity of the contents in the old documents that Elder Xinyi peeked into.
Secrets from who knows how many years ago happened right in front of them.
This is a continuation of disaster.
Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the bloody coffin was discovered early and the arrival of the demon Abraham was prevented.
Captain Zhao took a deep breath: "The Holy See must give an explanation for this matter."
It is true that his Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group does not have the strength to go on an expedition, but how can he just let it go if he humiliates his Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group like this?
As for the clues they had speculated but could not confirm, perhaps Mrs. Haylis could be a breakthrough.
Captain Zhao looked at White King Xiao Lingchen, hoping to borrow the spirit master from the Spirit Clan.
Xiao Lingchen nodded, because no one knew whether what they had guessed now was all, and they had to get more clues from Mrs. Hailis.
The atmosphere suddenly became serious, who
He also doesn’t want his own territory or a place close to him to become a place where demons are resurrected.
They communicated with each other.
Shen Yan waited carefully, because the White King Xiao Lingchen personally returned to the Emerald City to pick up the spirit masters from the Spirit Clan.
With the legendary ranger's unusual speed and the fact that the mercenary city is not far from the Emerald Forest, it is estimated that the soul master can be brought here in the afternoon.
Shen Yan went to see Zhao Lan and Beier.
When this matter was exposed, too many people knew about it, and gossip would always reach their ears.
The young man Zhao Lan's mental determination has exceeded Shen Yan's knowledge. According to what the Iron Blood Mercenary Group just said, Zhao Lan should already know what his mother has done.
He showed determination, as if nothing was wrong, and he was still teasing Belle happily.
For some reason, Shen Yan's heart trembled. This was a young man who was kissed with pain by the world, but he disguised himself as a little sun to warm others.
And Belle, how can Belle accept the reality? This kind and simple little girl doesn't understand anything yet.
When Bei'er saw Shen Yan come in, she quickly said: "I'm teaching my brother how to play Go. My brother is so stupid. ()"
“?()_[()]?『Come to []♂see the latest chapter♂complete chapter』()”
The atmosphere of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group is not suitable for Belle.
Belle is still young, and Shen Yan in the academy can forcefully instill some ideas, allowing Belle to slowly change her belief in God and slowly accept reality.
Thanks to her young age, she has not yet established a complete faith. Otherwise, with the collapse of her faith and the collapse of her mother's image, Belle's entire ideological world will be shattered, and it is almost 100% certain that she will be twisted into a deformed monster.
Shen Yan was once again horrified by Mrs. Haylis's sanctions against heretics, and she could not kill without a nod, but what she wanted to do was to cultivate a person's faith and then destroy it mercilessly.
The most cruel torture in the world is nothing more than this. Even though Shen Yan has read so much history, he has never seen such a twisted, perverted and vicious person.
And how many believers like Mrs. Hailis are there in the Holy See? This is the scariest thing.
Shen Yan actually had a doubt, Mrs. Hailis was so cruel to Belle, how did she let Zhao Lan go?
Zhao Lan was also brought up by her. It stands to reason that Zhao Lan's faith should be molded into a perfect believer by her. However, based on Shen Yan's understanding of Zhao Lan, this young man has one thing on the surface and another on the inside, and he is very devoted to God. dismissive.
As if sensing Shen Yan's doubts, Zhao Lan let Bei'er rest alone and then walked out of the room.
"I followed her all the time when I was a child and had very few contacts with her."
"But after all, there are so many people here, it's impossible not to see everyone."
Zhao Lan pointed to the door of the room where the crime occurred: "I also lived in this room when I was a child."
Then he pointed to the door of the room next to him: "My brother lives there."
Shen Yan was stunned, Zhao Kuo?
Zhao Lan continued: "My brother is very powerful. He has been promoted quickly since he was a child. Even if some people say that he will become a demigod one day, some people probably believe it. At that time, the group was not so resistant to Huangcheng. The people in the group were not so resistant to Huangcheng. My brother is also very good, so I have high hopes."
"In this world, even in Brahma Emperor City, there is immense respect for the strong."
"So I admired my brother very much since I was a kid."
"Every time I was left outside the room to read those Vatican classics, my brother would climb on the window and scare me, saying that reading those things would make people stupid."
"I was really scared."
Shen Yan: "..."
Zhao Lan's admiration for Zhao Kuo's strength is actually a kind of belief. Zhao Kuo's unintentional actions caused one of Zhao Lan's beliefs to constantly impact another belief. This constant denial planted doubt in Zhao Lan's heart. Seed.
plus
() This is the city of mercenaries,
It’s not as strong as the atmosphere of faith in Brahma Emperor City.
So in the end, the faith that Mrs. Haylis had molded for Zhao Lan was torn apart. Even as Zhao Lan grew up, he began to rebelliously use disguise to resist the faith that others forced on him.
Mrs. Haylis's first work failed, so she shifted her focus to Belle, even keeping Belle by her side to eliminate other distractions.
Zhao Lan continued: "Later, uncle Ole also came to the Jagged Mercenary Group, and the attitude of the group towards my brother also began to change from this time on. Some people continued to have high hopes for my brother, and some people began to have high hopes for my brother. The speed of strength growth makes them feel scared and fearful, and some people think that Brahma Emperor City is actually a good choice..."
"There are all kinds of ideas. At that time, the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group was so torn that it would disintegrate when they followed."
"It was also at that time that I realized that God may not be as noble and great as written in the book. His believers also do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and God does not stand up to uphold fairness and justice."
"I was too young at that time, standing in the corner, terrified."
"The divisions and disputes in the regiment stopped until the wise men from Huangcheng sent someone to pick up my brother."
"When my brother comes back again, he will already be a legend. He does not need to sleep in a blood coffin. He is a living legend. The Iron-Blooded Mercenaries were extremely excited at that time. Those who supported my brother seemed to see the hope of the rise of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group, and she He is also in charge of the business of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group and Brahma Emperor City, and continues to bring a lot of benefits to the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group."
"The Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group was probably at its most prosperous at that time. My brother became the commander of this city with the support of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group. She also brought economic development to the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group."
"Everything was going prosperous. Even though I thought this balance would last forever, that was when I was happiest."
"Until the invasion of the demigod Yixi."
"The demigod Yixi and the demigod Victor were fighting in this area until the earth collapsed."
"Victor has always maintained the peace in this area. If Yixi is allowed to seize the territory here, there will never be peace in the surrounding area. As the commander, my brother has decided to lead the mercenary city to participate in the war, and the mercenary groups are also willing to follow. ."
"I just didn't expect that during the days when the Spirit Tribe, the Abyss, and the mercenary city led by my brother were fighting against the demigod Yixi, the direction of the mercenary city would completely change."
"When my brother came back, he was greeted with slanderous voices."
"The Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group also became extremely torn apart again. It was also at that time that I was sent to Brahma Emperor City for further training, away from the land of right and wrong."
"When I came back, the dust had settled. My brother took some of the brothers in the regiment who could no longer survive to the lower city and established a new mercenary regiment."
Shen Yan listened carefully. Shen Yan already had some understanding of Zhao Kuo's experience, but speaking from Zhao Lan's perspective, it seemed to be a different feeling.
Zhao Lan continued: "I originally thought that would be it, but I didn't expect..."
I just didn't expect that it would end up like this.
Is the Jagged Mercenary Group the winner?
They lost a legend who could travel around, they also lost those sources of income, and even their original business became fragmented.
What's even more outrageous is that the heir has been raped by his own child since he was a child.
The mother was used as a material for blood sacrifice, and the residence even became the lair where the demon Abraham was reborn.
Shen Yan actually admired Mrs. Hailis for her ability to turn the majestic Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group into what it is now.
Because I don’t know much about Mrs. Haylis, and I don’t know how many methods she used secretly to achieve this, but is she a winner?
Shen Yan only felt sad. She had lived her whole life for her so-called faith. She had lost everything and left everything behind, but she was still moved by her piety.
He has completely lost himself, is hopeless, and has become a real slave.
When Shen Yan's eyes moved, he might have thought of how to comfort Zhao Lan and Beier.
Said to Zhao Lan: "Do you... hate her?"
Zhao Lan's eyes sharpened: "I hated it at first, but now I hate the Holy See for turning her into this even more. If I have the chance, I hope to make the Holy See pay the price with my own hands."
Shen Yan was a little surprised that Zhao Lan could see so clearly.
Shen Yan didn't dare to touch a person who hated his mother. Of course, he couldn't forgive Zhao Lan for anything, but in order to make Zhao Lan feel better and not be crushed, at least he could hide Zhao Lan Anger and other emotions arise and find an outlet to vent.
Even though Zhao Lan looks like he's fine, this state is the most dangerous and worrying. His emotions must be vented, otherwise the straw that breaks the camel's back will appear at any time, maybe once Mental strengthening, or an inexplicable accident, could cause Zhao Lan to become deformed.
The best target for venting his anger must not be his mother, Mrs. Hailis, as it would only distort Zhao Lan's thoughts. It would be different if the target of his anger were to be the Holy See.
Shen Yan originally wanted to persuade him that the Holy See was the culprit, but he didn't expect that Zhao Lan had already figured it out so clearly.
Shen Yan thought to himself that he would persuade Belle in the same way in the future. When Belle knew the truth, she would also have to let her know that although her mother was the perpetrator and unforgivable, she was also a victim. It was the Holy See that caused all this. End Belle's misguided beliefs.
Belle should be exposed to this truth soon. Don't underestimate the speed of news spreading. You can't avoid it in the mercenary city.
Hey, it’s really heartbreaking to have to endure this at such a young age.
At this time, many teams of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group were walking out.
Shen Yan asked: "What are they doing?"
Zhao Lan: "The things she did cannot be accomplished by herself. There must be forces from the Holy See lurking in the mercenary city to help her."
"The Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group will completely eliminate them and turn this city into a place where God's glory cannot shine."
Shen Yan originally thought that Zhao Lan would follow, but Zhao Lan said: "The people of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group can do such a thing, but I will do what they can't do. I am the little sun in the arms of the gods known to Brahma Emperor City. "
After speaking, he looked at Belle's room door. Belle was already asleep, and then said a few more words before leaving.
Shen Yan went to find Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo was sitting in a position looking at the station.
He actually lived in the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group for quite a few time gates, and this place was once his home. It was definitely impossible to say that he had no emotions at all.
Speaking of which,
Zhao Kuo was also a victim of the Holy See.
The Holy See has contributed to all these messy ordeals.
Shen Yan walked over: "How do you feel?"
Zhao Kuo shrugged: "If I meet someone from the Holy See, I can poke a hole in him immediately."
He originally thought that just by fighting for the door with Mrs. Hailis, Mrs. Hailis would be able to deal with some troubles, but he didn't expect that there was such a big handle pushing the door behind.
Shen Yan: "..."
Violent elements.
But if he had gone through this, he would probably want to kill the other person with a bullet.
Zhao Kuo's experience is quite bumpy. He has been fighting internally and externally since childhood. No wonder he is smarter than the barbarians he looks like.
Zhao Kuo looked at Shen Yan doubtfully: "Why are you laughing?"
Shen Yan quickly said: "It's nothing. Although there are many victims, we have finally found the culprit. It is indeed a good thing that the truth is revealed, and it can avoid causing more harm."
"The most embarrassing thing is probably the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group. They were fooled from beginning to end. What do you think their expressions would be like when they saw you?"
The corners of Zhao Kuo's mouth also turned up: "I guess you don't want to see me."
Guilt? Embarrassing? Feeling ashamed? The expression must be very complicated.
While Shen Yan and the others were waiting for White King Xiao Lingchen to come with the soul master, they were in the Emerald Forest.
Several men in black robes in front of Boci said: "Your Highness Boci, it's time for us to take action. We have promised that this operation will only succeed."
When Boji turned to look at them, his eyes had turned into erect snake pupils: "I need you to teach me? Didn't you see that I was punishing the little spirits who offended me? Abraham asked you to listen to my orders. I didn’t let you dictate what I did.”
The pupils of several people shrank. His Highness Boci even dared to kill the priests of gods. The last time His Highness Boci was ordered to save someone, he ended up directly killing the person he wanted to save.
Xing Dou, who was tied to a tree and was swinging back and forth: "..."
He seemed to have heard something extraordinary. Everyone was trying to prevent Abraham from being reborn, but Abraham seemed to have...!
