Chapter 2981

Without any suspense, the demon king of hell pinched Isaac's neck with one hand. No matter how Isaac struggled, there was no possibility of getting rid of it. The pressure from the depths of the soul almost made the blood in the saint's body Completely frozen.

"You are... Lucifer? How is this possible? How dare you go deep into Erathia? The armies of the clouds will not forgive you."

Isaac's eyes widened, staring in horror at the fallen angel who suddenly appeared. The feeling of suffocation from his neck made him understand that his life was in the hands of the Demon King, and he might be doomed this time.

"Are you the successor of the Holy Tribunal Angel?" the Demon King with six pitch-black wings said Dan Dan, with an undeniable meaning in his words.

Facing the imminent death, Isaac became calmer, with a solemn and holy expression: "Even if you kill me, you can't weaken the power of Cloud City, and there will be a new righteous person to replace the holy angel. Your plan will never succeed. Do it, what are you waiting for?"

"I didn't say I was going to kill you." Lucifer replied slowly, "I want you to do something for me."

"What if I say no? Are you going to threaten me, with my own life, or with the lives of ordinary people below? Just do it, no matter what you do, I will never compromise with evil, I am justice Saints, I will stand against evil!" Isaac said firmly, unmoved by Lucifer's aura, and there was no hint of compromise in his words.

Seeing this, Lucifer just shook his head: "Even if you are a saint, you are just a walking corpse. Walking corpses can't tell what is the real evil."

The other hand of the Demon King raised the Supreme Sword, pointed the tip of the sword at the Griffin House below, and said to the saints:

"You said that you want to be incompatible with evil, so you might as well open your eyes and take a good look. Let's make a bet, from those walking corpses, you will see real evil, which is evil that you cannot tolerate, you You can stop this process at any time, but the moment you speak, you lose. Once you lose, you have to do something for me."

"Then what if I win? Are you just planning to let me go? Don't you, the arrogant king, dare not offer an equal bet?" Isaac, who had already put life and death aside, questioned sharply .

"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me." Lucifer said calmly, "However, as you said, the bets are completely equal. If you win, you can also ask me to do one thing, anything It's all counted."

"What?" Isaac was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this is a rare good opportunity. The proud Lucifer will not tolerate breaking his promise. Not necessarily will change because of this.

"I promise you, but you can't manipulate the minds of those humans." After a moment of silence, Isaac finally said.

"I'm not going to do that. Everything is their own choice."

As Lucifer's words fell, he let go of the hand that was firmly restraining Isaac's neck. Isaac moved his neck a little, let out a few dry coughs, and after panting heavily, he felt a little better.

At the end of the sky, the demon king and the saints looked down at the same time, staring at the people in the house of griffins.

Under the leadership of Irene, the girl Sania wandered around the Griffin House, and quickly became familiar with the surrounding environment.

The canteen enough to accommodate hundreds of children, the slightly crowded public dormitory, the dead garden in the front yard, the training field where boys gather in the backyard, and the main classroom for learning knowledge, everything is displayed in front of Sania .

"I heard from those boys that Dean Kavo once studied at the Knight Academy in White Rock City, and many facilities in the Griffin House were built in imitation of the formal Knight Academy." Irene introduced Sania with a smile, "Speaking of Dean Kavo, when the undead ravaged a few years ago, it was thanks to him and the nobles in Mingyue City to find a way to build a defense line, which saved us from the undead. With him, we don't have to worry about being attacked by the undead." harm."

Sania listened carefully, but suddenly heard a strange noise, followed the sound, and saw a drunk man exuding a pungent smell in the flowerbed with dead crops in the front yard, falling headlong in the middle of the flowerbed. The young boy covered his mouth and passed by the drunk, but no one wanted to approach him.

"Who is he?" Sania asked suspiciously, the scene in front of her was a bit strange no matter how she looked at it.

"Him? He is the husband of the manager, Ms. Madeleine. I heard that he once had a talent far beyond ordinary people. He was promoted to a fourth-level official professional at a young age. He was once the hottest figure in the entire Mingyue City. According to this momentum Looking at it, in the future, there is even hope to hit the threshold of a sixth-level epic professional, a high-level powerhouse that the city lord has to rely on, but his strength plummeted after an injury, and he finally fell into a slump, drinking all day long. Just order it." Irene looked at the drunk man coldly, and said calmly.

Sania nodded half-understood. At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from outside the front yard, and several children hurried in from the door with a slightly panicked expression.

"Valente, what happened over there?" Irene's eyes lit up when she saw one of the older boys who was the leader of the group of children, and she couldn't help asking him.

"It's the lord of the city. The lord of the city saw the vision left by the saints, so he led a team to investigate." The young man named Valente replied, his eyes especially lingering on Sania, "So, she Is it the girl brought by the saints?"

"Your eyes are going to be straight." Irene seemed a little dissatisfied, and snorted.

Valente laughed: "No, I'm just very curious. Being able to be brought here by the saints, there must be something special about her, but no matter how special she is, she can't compare to my Irene. My Erin is the most special girl in the world."

Irene blushed and raised her hand to hit her, but Valente avoided it as if begging for mercy.

At this moment, Irene seemed to think of something, and couldn't help reminding him: "Valente, your father passed out again in the front yard, you'd better take him away quickly, so as not to offend the city lord." grown ups."

Hearing this, the young man hurriedly looked in the direction of the front yard, and saw the drunk man lying in the flower bed at a glance, his face was green and white, and he wanted to go to pull the drunk man away, but there was some fear in his expression, and in the end he just Said: "I will go to my mother to deal with it."

After finishing speaking, he ran to the inside of the Griffin House in a flash, calling out Madeleine's name loudly.

Before the boy could return, the sound of orderly footsteps came from outside the front yard. Surrounded by many crusaders in iron armor, the city lord walked in slowly with a cane.

In order to ensure the same speed as the faltering castellan, the crusaders stepped very high and hardly moved when they fell. This kind of standing still not only slowed down their speed, but also made their pace Tread louder.

Amidst the noise of footsteps, the drunk man who was drunk in the flower bed was also awakened by the sound at this moment. He opened his hazy eyes and saw the Crusaders passing by him. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Spit it out in one gulp.

One of the crusaders was vomited all over by the drunk man. In a rage, he raised his foot and kicked the drunk man down. Then he lifted the sword in his hand and was ready to fall at any time. The other crusaders also made preparations to meet the enemy , Even the city lord was alarmed.

Many children covered their eyes at this moment, hardly daring to look at what happened next, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"Wait a minute..."

Seeing that the matter was about to be completely irreversible, a rush of voices came from behind the Griffin House. The elderly Dean Kawo ran out panting, accompanied by a teenager who was looking for someone, and a tall and thin middle-aged woman.

When the middle-aged woman saw the drunk man lying on the ground, she couldn't help covering her mouth, and hurriedly called Valente, ready to pull the drunk man away together.

"Don't frighten the children." The city lord, who was handicapped, showed a magnanimous side. Instead of embarrassing them, he ordered the guarding crusaders to put away their weapons and let them leave.

Seeing this, Dean Kawo also heaved a sigh of relief. If the city lord insists on pursuing this matter, it will end badly in the end, so he stepped forward to greet him and said, "I don't know what a good day it is today. I just welcomed the saints." Your Excellency, now we welcome the Lord City Lord, in normal times, this is something worth celebrating."

The city lord exchanged a few pleasantries with him, and soon got to the point: "I don't know, Your Excellency, did you mention the abnormalities in the world and the problems that plague us all? How to solve the problem of food when all the crops in the field are dead? .”

Dean Kawo replied: "Your Excellency the Saint promised to find a way to solve this matter, and he will feed back the news to the stigmata. We just need to wait."

The city lord shook his head: "Even if there is no report from the saints, it is impossible for the people with the stigmata in the cloud to be ignorant of such a big matter, but the oracle to solve the problem has never been issued... Maybe for this matter, the stigmata The author has his own thinking, and I don't think that relying solely on the reports of the saints can solve the current problem."

Dean Kawo was silent. He also understood the matter, but he was hopeful and didn't want to think about the worst outcome, but he heard the city lord say again: "I heard that the saints brought a girl, she is here where?"

Under the guidance of Dean Kawo, the city lord, who was on crutches, also came in front of Sania.

Until now, Sania could see the face of the city lord clearly. His two eyes were raised high, and the surface of the eyeballs seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, which made people wonder whether he could really see the outside world clearly. , his face is also full of creases like fire, which is quite frightening at first glance.

Sania took a step back as if frightened, the city lord noticed her actions, squatted down in front of her, and explained: "Girl, don't be afraid, I am a real human being. These are left to me by evil magic When the overwhelming cloud of death hit me, I had to open my eyes to see the road ahead. Although I was able to escape from the cloud of death, some things could not go back.”

Listening to the words of the city lord, the girl gradually let go of her guard and asked in a low voice, "Did Rhodes make you like this?"

"You mean the lord of the undead who conquered Bracada? No, I'm not that capable. I was able to escape from the lord of the undead. It was just a group of wandering corpses who did it." The city lord shook his head. He shook his head and said, "Now it's time for you to answer my question. Did the saints who brought you here leave you with any badges or flags to prove their identity?"

"Does this pendant count?" Sania thought for a while, and took out the badge pendant left by Isaac.

The city lord took the seal pendant, carefully held it in front of his cloudy eyes, and stared at the content on it carefully. After a while, he came to a conclusion and said, "This is the sacrificial person from ancient Erasia. The symbol of Saint Isaac... I believe that the coming of this saint must have his meaning."

After returning the seal to Sania, the city lord looked at Dean Kawo again: "My original proposal is still valid, and the arrival of Saint Isaac proves that my idea is correct. When the world falls into Darkness, only if we take the initiative to do something, can we save ourselves in the end."

Dean Kawo just shook his head: "We can't do that."

"Why not? In ancient Erathia, Saint Isaac sacrificed himself in exchange for miracles. We only need to imitate the ancient saints and offer our pure and flawless souls to the Stigmata, and wait until The moment the miracle comes, food will no longer be a problem." The city lord said in a rough voice, "Your and my souls have long been impregnated with the world, and only children's souls can be called pure and flawless..."

Before the city lord could finish his words, he was interrupted decisively by Dean Kawo: "As long as I'm still alive, I won't allow you to do this!"

Seeing this, the city lord just shook his head, and the light in his cloudy eyes became even dimmer: "The food stored in the city lord's mansion is enough to last for several years, until the day when the Erathians solve the food shortage problem, but you can't last that long. You'd better pray that Saint Isaac can return with a solution to the problem before you run out of food, otherwise, my conditions will not change."

After finishing speaking, the city lord withdrew his team and left. Dean Kawo, who stayed at the place, stared at his back and remained silent. The children nearby also noticed some unusual meanings from the conversation between the two. The laughter was completely replaced by sighs at this moment.

Only when they think of the saints who have gone away, the eyes of the children will regain their light. Everyone believes that the saints will return with a solution to the problem before all the food is eaten. People don't have to be bothered by hunger anymore.
