This wasn't the first time Uriel had lost a battle with the Mysterious One, but it was still new to be mentioned by a woman by the neck. How come she has so much strength? He was still thinking about this issue while feeling dizzy.
"You know?" Lametta leaned close to his ear, "Rather than getting back the box, I want to kill you. The knight of Croita, the knight of Gaia."
She is crying. Uriel was vaguely aware of it. Her voice trembled.
"This is for Dmitri." Lord Mercury told Uriel, "He was my guide. You killed him, you burned him to ashes." She suddenly raised her voice, shocking Uriel. There was a ringing in his ears: "I will burn you to death! Just like you did to us!"
The church burned the devil to death, and the devil will in turn burn the church knights to death. Unfortunately I am both. He almost laughed. The flames of witchcraft seemed to burn in his blood, and Uriel began to understand that "burned within" was more than just an adjective. He heard his bones melting, but everything faded away.
Lametta was filled with avenged joy. But as she turned to pick up the alchemical core fragments, Nanna's statue swooped down, knocking the demon lord onto the broken wall behind her. No one expected this girl to do such a fearless act. The flames and heat disappeared immediately. It's all an illusion. Uriel could feel the terrible pain of the unhealed wound between his ribs being torn open again, but he had already developed resilience on the edge of life and death - so Uriel pulled out the metal spikes on his body and pierced Lametta's chest. .
The ice made her skin fragile. The feather mask shattered in half and fell into a pool of sticky blood. Lord Mercury's eyes widened and he tugged on his arm. It was easy to end her. Uriel wanted to pull out the spike again, but the metal blade was waving around furiously, cutting into his arm with a sharp wind. It seems she hasn't given up on burning me to death yet. But Uriel did not feel a new round of pain coming. Lametta finally broke away from him and fled for the last time into the sea of song behind her.
Fatigue and pain broke the will faster than the blade. He knelt on the ground, and his swollen blood vessels could clearly feel the outline of the gravel. Uriel couldn't believe he was still alive. The magic that Joey had forced him to learn in the White Tower was subconsciously stopping his bleeding, and the wound was burning, but it was real, and it also meant that he was still alive. She missed. We are so close...
Or there are other reasons. Uriel suddenly remembered Nanna's existence. If Nanna hadn't pushed him in the first place, the apprentice would not have been able to dodge Lametta's sneak attack. Did she fall into the sea? Knocked away by chains? Still... He turned his head slowly and saw the little maid lying face down behind her, with shadows and sunlight shining on her back at the same time. Gods above.
Uriel turned Nanna's upper body over as gently as possible, and she squinted her eyes at the sudden appearance of sunlight. The apprentice opens the girl's pockets in search of healing water, even though her body being broken in two means she won't live much longer.
Nanna's eyes widened when she saw him. "I'm sorry, this hurts," Uriel said, handling the bottle cap with trembling hands.
"I fear pain……"
"Me too."
"I'm afraid of pain... Sir, I'm not afraid of you... I'm not afraid of Lord Helen and Lord Bai Zhizhi either."
Without the scroll of oath, Uriel could tell that this was the truth. The reason she didn't tell the truth was that she was only afraid of Ronald the Lion. Using a piece of parchment to judge the authenticity of other people's thoughts, is there anyone more foolish than me in this world? She should have hated us mystical beings who intruded into her ordinary life.
"My mentor would be surprised that someone is not afraid of him. Listen to me, Nanna, you have to give him a surprise." It seemed like a long time ago, a girl also died in his arms. She took away his attachment to the past and his timidity. No, don't do it a second time.
The bottle cap seemed to be nailed to the opening, and Uriel crushed the glass at the mouth of the bottle. At this moment, Nanna suddenly grabbed his hand and tried to make him pour the potion on her forehead. Her eyes were filled with timid pleading.
"Your face is fine, I won't lie to you." He looked at the bloody cross-section of the little maid's waist and felt that his fingers were heavy as hell. You know you can't save her, idiot, why don't you just follow her wish? Satisfy her, ask about her family and concerns, and give her a few soothing words. Where else can you stand to ask for forgiveness? It was you who dragged her into this damn battlefield, who caused the demon lord to vent his hatred, who misunderstood her intentions, and who finally let her die for you.
He restrained his thoughts, but his palms obeyed Nanna's wishes uncontrollably, and the blessed holy water flowed down the girl's hair. She smiled as if she wanted to say something. "Say it." The apprentice used magic to lift her spirits and listen to the girl's last words. Say it, Nanna. I will promise you whatever it is.
"My lord...can I...pray for you?"
Uriel was stunned.
The fragrant holy water flowed down Nanna's head, and she seemed to be receiving a holy baptism.
Until the battle came to an end, Mercury Lord Rametta did not come back. The White Envoy was the first to land on the edge of the floating platform, the breath of ice and fire lingering on his armor. He touched his apprentice on the shoulder and said in the calmest and most determined voice: "She is dead."
"I know." Uriel put down half of Nanna's body and stood up reluctantly. "It's Lametta. She was crazy and came to seek revenge on me after being seriously injured. Nanna saved me. Do you know? Nanna said she is not afraid of you." He shook his head, "Where is Lord Flame Moon?"
"He retreated." The messenger told him after a delay of two seconds, "You can bury...Nanna."
It's not easy to get this permission, is it? Nanna is not a corpse eater. Uriel turned to look at his expression, and finally turned back with regret. "I really thought you'd be surprised."
Unexpectedly, these words made his wish come true. Joey frowned and stared at the apprentice, as if wondering about his performance. After a long time, the messenger said: "Why did she say this to you?"
"She thinks of me as a priest." He found that he could actually smile at this. Uriel arranged Nanna's body neatly and knelt beside her. The apprentice's expression was full of confusion.
A soft sigh sounded in his ears. The white frost condensed and made a pure coffin for the deceased.
…
The commander handed her a small transparent piece of glass, and the order was as arrogant as ever.
"Box?" Helen had never heard of such a part in alchemy. She had learned about alchemy during her apprenticeship, but that was just the beginning. "Does that mean it can open?"
Uriel shook his head, but the commander did not respond. She used witchcraft to spy on the fate of the fragment, but the thing didn't respond at all. "It is indeed a mysterious item. This kind of thing is instinctively resistant to the spells of the Second Night series. We can either ask the wizard of the school, or we can take it back to the tower after finding Roma and see what we can get from divination. Results." Larson could probably find out more if he recovers from his injuries.
"Your witchcraft is in the past." Bai Zhizhi said doubtfully.
"The people who made it also know this." Helen explained, "The alchemy process of the Oath Keepers Alliance is very critical. Once a product needs to be sold, they always find ways to use mysterious materials such as anti-witchcraft and anti-divination to create it. Even a large number of anti-theft runes are applied to the core. Generally speaking, it is difficult to crack these tricks."
However, Croyta is the pinnacle of the industry in this regard. The observation deck can even monitor Knox, let alone the little tricks of the dwarves. However, astrologers have little interest in alchemy, and the Alliance has signed a contract with the Destiny Gathering to ensure that astrologers do not interfere with the alchemy industry and its market. In exchange, Croita can obtain a large number of exclusive alchemy products every year - such as the Tower Ring. After all, with the production capacity of the Equipment Department, it would be a drop in the bucket to meet the needs of the entire Croita.
She had already had enough of the battle with the Lord of the Flame Moon. There were still remnants of the dark wizard troops in the distance, and she wanted to destroy the town entirely. I'm not in good shape. Now Helen just wants to get back to Bloomnott. Right now, their only mission is Roma, a child who has never appeared in Beacon Town so far.
"I want to go to the church." The leader didn't care how tired she was, "Go back to the Black Whale Street and help the Lions eliminate the dark wizards there. The association has retreated, and there won't be many unknowns in the team."
"Should I go back alone? Uriel needs to take care of his injuries," she pointed out.
Uriel seems devastated by the death of her maid Nanna at the hands of Lameta. Although she regretted losing Nanna, Helen saw this kind of compassion that had nowhere to go for the first time in the tower apprentices. Nanna could only obey the order, otherwise after Ronald caught her, she would probably just want him to die. Helen was willing to be considerate of Uriel, but there were no priests in Croytari.
"He can handle himself. Can you?"
Who wants to go to church with you? The witch tugged on her cloak. She didn't think Roma would be hiding in the church. "The dark wizards are leaderless and will collapse soon. Lord Commander, we need to rest instead of continuing to fight. The town also has its own garrison."
"This is my job."
