Erin, wearing a long white dress, was sitting on a bench in the courtyard, looking into the distance.
For some reason, a feeling of pain suddenly came from the bottom of her heart for no reason. It felt like she was about to lose something most precious. The feeling was so strong that her heart could never be calm. Irene closed her eyes.
She opened her eyes and recited the scriptures taught to her by the high priest, hoping to calm her restless heart, just like she did when she woke up from nightmares in the past.
However, this time, Irene was disappointed. No matter what she did, the panic in her heart never slowed down at all. Instead, the feeling became stronger, making her cover her head and want to scream.
.
"Look at her, she is the girl sent by an angel."
Outside the courtyard, several children of her age were leaning on the courtyard wall and peering in. Although the priest had given an order that no one was allowed to approach Irene in the courtyard, it was obvious that not everyone would obey that order.
The order and the curiosity in the hearts of several boys prompted them to come here to find out.
"I heard that she was the only survivor of the Mingyue City catastrophe. She actually escaped the doomsday judgment. Except for her, everyone in the city was spared. I don't know what she is special about.
Wherever he was, he was able to survive."
"Who knows what she has done? Both the angels and the priests in the royal capital are very secretive about everything that happened in Mingyue City, and they dare not mention what happened there at all. I think she must not have seen it.
It's so easy to get up there, maybe she attracted the devil, which led to the doomsday judgment."
Regarding Eileen in the courtyard, the children started talking in a hurry, discussing the secrets that existed in Eileen.
As the doomsday kings show their fangs, the moment of crisis for Erathia and the entire main plane has arrived. Even the residents of the royal capital have become panic-stricken. Even the intelligence in the Thieves Guild has
There is some unfavorable news. People don’t know what the doomsday kings are preparing for, but everyone can feel that the storm that will sweep through Erathia and cause drastic changes in the world is coming.
In order to appease the residents of Erathia, the priests of the Holy See preached around the city, inspiring the already depressed people, and guiding people to pray to the incarnation of fate, the Stigmata in the Clouds.
In the words of the priest, the final victory will definitely belong to Erathia, and all the villains will be swept away by the angels. People do not have to worry at all, but not everyone believes the words of the priest.
The boy is obviously one of them. They care more about the girl in the courtyard than the morale-boosting preaching from the priest.
It was impossible for several boys not to be curious about Irene who came to the Holy City at such a moment. They believed that there must be some secret in Irene. Otherwise, how could she escape from the Doomsday Judgment?<
/p>
"The soldiers' protection for her has been revoked. I think we should go in and ask her directly to see what is unique about her."
One of the leading boys took the initiative to suggest. His suggestion also attracted different reactions from the children nearby.
"I remember that the priest told her that no one is allowed to disturb her. Violators may be severely punished."
Some people agreed with the words of the leading boy, but naturally some people chose to oppose them. The words of the priest were undoubtedly the primary reason that restricted the actions of the boys. No one wanted to be punished by the priest at this moment. Maybe the priest would not do anything to them.
But it is inevitable to lock them in a quiet room for a few days.
"What are you afraid of? My brother is the personal guard of General Kendall. Even the priest will not do anything to me. What's more, we are just visiting her, and we don't mean to disturb her." The leading boy insisted, his words
, ushered in another round of discussion from the children nearby.
With him taking the lead, the opposition from the nearby children also subsided. They seemed to think that this was a feasible idea, but there were still a small number of people who were unwilling to do it. In their hearts, they were already looking over the courtyard wall.
This is the limit. The orders given by the priest cannot be violated casually.
"Forget it, you cowards. If you are willing to come in with me, just follow me. The others stay outside."
Seeing that several people could not come up with a unified idea, the leading boy also looked sullen. After saying these words, he took the lead in climbing over the courtyard wall and came to the courtyard where Eileen was.
"Who are you?" Seeing the group of children climbing over the courtyard wall, Irene was slightly startled, then stood up and asked them.
"We are people who live nearby. My name is Geke. We have heard about you." Faced with Eileen's question, Geke was the first to answer. All the children nearby also turned their attention to it at this moment.
On her body.
"Have you heard about me? What does that mean?" Surrounded by everyone, Irene couldn't help but feel slightly stunned. She always felt that the group of boys in front of her did not come to her according to the orders of the high priest. p>
During the time she returned to the royal capital, apart from angels, the only people Irene saw were majestic high-ranking priests. She was protected and had almost no chance to come into contact with other people. Now that she saw
When she saw a group of children of similar age to herself, and they also said they knew things about herself, Irene couldn't help but become a little interested.
"Of course it's what happened in Mingyue City, have you seen it? The Doomsday Judgment brought down by the Demon King is a terrifying power that is enough to burn everything." The leader, Geke, said hastily at this time, as if he was not aware of everything that happened in Mingyue City.
I am very interested and want to know everything from Eileen.
Listening to Geke mentioning the things in Mingyue City, Irene couldn't help but look dark, as if she was being reminded of some sad memories. Regarding everything that happened before, especially those who were killed by the doomsday in front of her.
The people who were completely burned to ashes by the fire did not want to say anything more. Facing the children who were waiting for her answer, she just turned her head aside:
"I don't want to talk about everything in Mingyue City. I have told the angels and priests everything I know. If you want to know, just ask them."
Seeing that Eileen's attitude was so uncooperative, the leader Geke failed to get the answer he wanted. He seemed a little frustrated, but he still said patiently: "Relax, we are just very curious about everything in Mingyue City. You
You are the only person who survived the disaster in Mingyue City, so of course we want to know from you what happened over there."
On the side, the children who came with Geke were also talking about it: "Look what I just said? She didn't dare to tell us the truth about Mingyue City. She is not honest at all. I think it was she who caused Mingyue City."
The disaster is coming to the city, so I dare not tell the truth."
The other girl just shook her head disdainfully: "It's really disappointing. She looked quite beautiful originally, but I didn't expect she was such a person. The priest is so fond of her, I thought she had something special about her."
I didn’t expect it to be so disappointing in the end. Let’s get out of here.”
Many children's comments also reached Irene's ears. She noticed the ill-intentions in everyone's words, and even some vague words aimed at her. Irene felt extremely uncomfortable. She didn't know how she had offended the people in front of her.
A child should be subjected to such criticism. Should he suffer such treatment just because he receives the attention of the priest?
Seeing that the criticism from the children nearby did not subside at all, but became more and more intense, and even escalated to verbal attacks on her, Irene finally couldn't help it any longer. She stretched out her finger, pointed in the direction of the courtyard door, and scolded everyone in front of her.
Said: "That's enough. I want to stay here alone. Please leave now, otherwise I will go find those guards."
Seeing this situation, the leader Geke just spread his hands: "It seems that you don't know yet. The guards who have been protecting you outside have been ordered to withdraw not long ago, so we can get here smoothly. Since
If you don’t want to say more, we will leave now, but before leaving, can you tell us your name?"
Faced with Gerke's request, Irene said nothing. She just stared at him with her eyes, and her outstretched finger always pointed in the direction of the courtyard door. She seemed to have made up her mind to kill the child in front of her.
Drive them all away, and I won’t say a word until then.
Seeing that Irene had no intention of replying at all, and at the same time, she did not give herself any good looks. Geke finally lost his temper, and a somewhat vicious look appeared on his young and immature face, which Irene repeatedly refuted.
Face, how can he, who has always regarded himself as the leader of this group of children, be reconciled?
Geke had no intention of leaving, but said to everyone: "She refused to tell us what happened in Mingyue City. The disaster must have something to do with her. Maybe she is the incarnation of the devil. Even
The priest was also completely deceived by her, and only we discovered the truth! She led the Doomsday Judgment to Mingyue City, and will also lead the Doomsday Judgment to the Holy City Standwick. We must not let this happen!" Geke's words also attracted voices of approval from the children nearby. Many children had long been very unhappy with Irene. Her arrival could be said to have occupied all the attention of the priests, along with those who had prayed devoutly in the past.
Children can no longer get the attention of the priest, which makes many children hate her with itch, thinking that it is Irene who has stolen the attention of the priest from them.
Now under Geke's words, the strong hostility emanating from the children was like a sharp knife, piercing into Irene's heart. She didn't know what she had done wrong, she just looked at it.
Looking at the people in front of her, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, and at the same time, there was a trace of sadness that even she herself could not detect.
Silt was thrown from a distance and fell on Irene's white dress, leaving ugly marks on the originally bright and bright skirt. I don't know which child took the lead, but they all grabbed it from the ground.
The mud was thrown towards Irene from a distance. Some of the mud was even filled with a small stone. When it fell on Irene, it even made a muffled sound. From the look of pain on Irene's brows, Irene frowned.
Look, she seemed to have been seriously injured by the mud-covered stones.
A group of children vented their dissatisfaction to Eileen wantonly. Especially when the end was approaching and people were panicking, the unbearable pressure of despair could only be vented from the bottom of their hearts in this way.
When he came out, suddenly, there was a wave of magic in the distance.
"The mana fluctuates...it's not good. The priest noticed what happened here. Let's run away quickly."
"Did the priest discover it? It's broken. What can we do now?"
Facing the exclamations from all the children, the leader, Geke, seemed extremely calm at this moment. He was not at all as panic-stricken as the other children. He said calmly: "Don't be nervous, my brother is willing to
General Dar's bodyguards, even if the priests find out about this, they won't do anything to us. After all, what we do is the right thing. We are trying to find the hidden demons for the Erathians...
…”
Before Geke could speak, his eyes suddenly froze. As a wave of magic spread, flames exploded in front of many children. The person who walked out of the flames was not the kind-faced priests in the past, but a man with an expression on his face.
A cold, black-robed man with fierce eyes.
"Are you Irene?"
After emerging from the flames, the man in black robe asked slowly.
"That black robe and cloak is... the ghost king's cloak? That man is not a priest at all, he is... he is..."
One of the well-informed children had obviously discovered something on his body. At this moment, his expression changed dramatically, and what emerged from his heart was a sense of horror that he was about to die.
The person who could equip the ghost king's cloak in this world was none other than Erathia's long-standing enemy, Rhodes, the Lord of the Undead. This discovery caused the liver and gallbladder of the children nearby to burst. Rhode's terrifying name, but Erathia's
It's a nightmare that wakes people up late at night. No one knows why Rhodes appears here at this time.
"Quack."
Listening to the screams from the children, Rhodes felt a little noisy in his ears. He waved the Titan Arrow in his hand, and the blazing thunder caused all the children nearby to be wiped out. Not even a trace of ashes was left, and they ran away slightly.
None of them could escape Rhode's indifferent gaze. They saw a burst of blood mist all around them, and they all turned into green-faced and fanged vampires.
"Now you are the only one left here. You are indeed Irene."
Under the gaze of the prying eye, all of Irene's attributes appeared in front of Rhodes, including her name. Rhodes couldn't help but nodded. It seemed that this was the target he was looking for.
.
"Someone wants to see you... why are you dressed like this?"
Seeing that Erin's long skirt was covered in mud stains and her whole body looked dirty, Rhodes couldn't help but scratch his head.
What Rhode didn't expect was that after hearing what he said, Erin couldn't help but sit on the ground and sob. Now even Rhode didn't know what to say.
