As a refugee from Star Antimony, he is undoubtedly lucky - compared to those who have no chance to be saved and are still trapped in the fallen city where demons are raging, he is now alive and living completely in the stable Avalon.
It is grace.
If it weren't for the church, he might have been eaten by those terrifying demons.
Langton clearly remembered the horrific scene he saw——
When the incident happened, he was drinking in the bar and struck up a conversation with a beautiful woman like every Iris man.
As an Iris man, he felt extremely excited and confident that he had received the title.
Just like every angler who catches a big fish, he will continue to get lost outside and say things like "How did you know I just caught a twenty-pound fish" when meeting people.
While Leipzig is essentially a city of scholars, it is also a money-burning city - many scholars are seeking sponsorship from nobles, so the news that "there is a silly Iris nobleman coming to Leipzig" quickly spread...
The beauties who appear in the tavern where he often hangs out these days are actually all here to catch Kaizi after hearing about it.
Of course, as an Iris man, Langton still has experience in this aspect. He knows very well how a passerby or someone who is curious about him should react. When those people perform too hard,
He immediately recognized the other party's purpose - but it didn't matter, he could still show off excitedly. He didn't choose.
He won't really give you money anyway.
And that day.
The sky collapsed and the devil descended.
The girl who had interacted closely with him screamed and ran away. He didn't realize what happened...but this slowness saved his life.
Not long after the girl went out, she felt as if she had been hit by a car - she was instantly overwhelmed by the dense crowd of demons. Only a scream was left that grew distant and then stopped abruptly.
The tavern fell into chaos for an instant, and the door was immediately closed.
Fortunately, there are a lot of extraordinary people here. There are many high-level adaptors - in Langton's view, the third level is considered a high level - such as assassins or thieves. This tavern seems
It's a den of thieves.
But fortunately, they held on to the danger and barely survived.
At daybreak, after Langton confirmed that the devil was gone, he crawled back home.
The streets are littered with corpses.
There were mutilated corpses everywhere.
Blood stained stroller.
Broken crutch.
The twisted legs were torn apart until only half of them were left.
A head stuck on a telephone pole.
…
Broken telephone poles, torn billboards, broken glass walls.
Broken walls and ruins.
It was like hell, with blood spraying in various places. There were residues of blood everywhere on the walls and glass. But the number of corpses was far less than the blood - just think about it and you would know where they went.
When he returned home, he immediately felt a deeper despair——
These demons seem to have some special attack priority. They will always attack people on the street first, followed by open doors. As long as the door is closed, there will only be scattered demons trying to attack here.
——And their house has never been in the habit of closing the door.
Because Langton's father is a very powerful curse master - that is a great wizard of the fourth level! Because of this, they were introduced to Star Antimony as talents and were directly awarded the title of Baron, and
A manor, a wine estate, three villas and more than 60 servants.
His father's habit was to leave the door open and let thieves in.
Any thief who dares to break into the house will be cursed, let alone those who try to take away things.
Wanting to kill them is just a thought. In more cases, you can use curses to blackmail and control the other party. In this way, you will get subordinates who are quite easy to use and are not afraid of betrayal, so that you can spread your own
of control.
He wasn't worried at all about provoking people he couldn't deal with.
Because it is impossible for someone with that kind of strength and background to break into a house. He just imposed a curse. If the other party is related to a big shot, he can use this as a bargaining chip to contact the big shot, and then lift the curse in a friendly way and then hook up with someone else.
A piece of thread - who could offend a friendly curser? You might need him at some point.
A noble curser who is willing to accept employment and has a gentle attitude - this is an excellent collaborator. Being a nobleman means that he cannot make money and run away. He has his own fixed assets and family name, which means "out of the blue"
Things can be found."
When he was in Iris, he accumulated wealth through this fishing method. He even became the chief advisor of a large gang at one time. He went to Star Antimony not to escape for his life, but to have a decent fight with his past collaborators.
After saying goodbye, we just pursue a higher future.
——But such a powerful curse master, a big shot personally invited by the Count of Leipzig, is so vulnerable to the tide of demons.
All the curses and rituals arranged at home were torn to pieces.
His father was eaten until only a half-skeleton was left - the most nutritious eyes, tongue and brain of the Curse Master were all eaten away, leaving only a hollow head with the shell opened, and broken ribs connected to the spine.
Almost all the servants in the family died, and the only surviving maid had gone crazy. She hid under the bed and narrowly escaped death. All the ritual materials and curse materials were swept away, and almost all the furniture was destroyed.
After being smashed, the paintings were either torn into pieces or graffitied with blood... Ironically, the money was intact and not missing at all.
He tried to put the crazy maid in place, and he was preparing to re-establish a defense ritual - although he himself didn't know if it would be useful. But the fact that he arranged the ritual seemed to trigger the crazy maid's PTSD... In the blink of an eye,
The crazy maid quickly escaped and was never seen again.
He was alone in an empty home, feeling lonely, fearful and desperate.
He didn't know how he should live. He didn't have the strength or time to pack things at all - he realized that he didn't even have the materials for the ceremony, so he had to give up on arranging the ceremony. He imitated the maid and huddled under the bed, like this
I endured it for three days.
——It seems that he was saved because he didn’t pack his things. When the demons saw that this place had been ravaged, no new demons rushed in. In the past three days, only a few demons entered by mistake, flew around in a circle, and then left.
.
Until the church sent someone to rescue him.
When he arrived at Avalon safely with only one suitcase of personal belongings left... he even thought he was dreaming.
As soon as he got off the boat, he knelt down, kissed the ground, and cried loudly. There were many people like him, and everyone hugged and kissed each other to celebrate that they had escaped disaster.
But when Langton settled in, he realized one thing——
His friend Janet Boyman had previously told him that the Aleister Crowley he was trying to strike up a conversation with seemed to be the lover of the Eternal Pope Aiwass.
Isn't it because of this?
Now it is this eternal pope who was born as a human who has defied all opinions and directly sent the Paladin Legion to rescue the refugees in the fallen Star Antimony.
But now, the Pope summoned him inexplicably.
...He is just a little person, and his strength as a transcendent is only at the second level. Not to mention him, even his father is not very famous in Iris, and even now he is just a unknown person in Star Antimony.
The son of a sworn baron - even if Langton has inherited his father's title, he is still a baron without a fief, a title, no subjects, and no wealth.
No matter what Langton Vignes von Bayard thought, he could not imagine that he might have any social relationship or interaction with this great Pope - he would not have the opportunity to meet him for another three generations.
Come to His Majesty the Pope!
Not to mention, the Pope seems to be the fiancé of the Queen of Avalon.
It can be said that he is the person at the pinnacle of power in the mortal world!
…Sure enough, it’s probably because of the price I paid for being so mean-mouthed in the first place.
Although the Pope is merciful, nothing will probably happen...
But Langton was still sweating.
It was like accidentally breaking the glass bottle where his father stored the cursed medium when he was a child. Even though his father didn't have the habit of beating himself, when he realized what he had done, he was still so scared that his legs couldn't stop trembling.
In short, just kneel down when you see His Majesty the Pope, Langton thought to himself.
