Before dawn, Reggie left the warm bed and prepared for the ceremony under the service of the maid.
Although it does not match his appearance, in order to set off the festive atmosphere, Reggie put on the clothes of the Dongsang people. This kind of simple clothes has a lot of exquisiteness. If it were not for the maids to wait on him, Reggie would probably not even have a dress.
Can't even fasten the belt.
On the way to the altar, Reggie had been reciting the blessings after Bachelot. Most of the ritual process was presided over by the priest, but the part of praying for the people was best completed by the lord himself.
Almost all the residents of Tuodao City came to the altar. Officials had previously told them that those who participated in the ceremony would be able to share the sacrifices.
This is not as simple as getting a few pieces of meat and a glass of wine, it means that they have been favored by the gods. In the past, this was a privilege that only nobles could enjoy.
Under the auspices of the priest, the grand sacrificial ceremony began. First, there was a complicated worship ceremony, then the sacrifices were offered, and then the lord prayed for the people. What I didn't expect was that Hurley happened to be here.
The time came, and he sat next to Reggie at an inappropriate time.
Reggie said angrily: "What are you doing here? You can't sit here!"
"Sir, I can't find the little witch."
"She is sleeping in the mansion, so be good and stop provoking her!"
"I went to her room, but I didn't see her."
"She may have gone to the back garden."
"I also wanted to go to the back garden to find her, but the people at the mansion wouldn't let me in."
Reggie sighed and said: "There are thousands of people under the altar waiting for me to recite my congratulations. Do you have to go find her at this time? Do you think this matter is really that important?"
Hurley looked at Reggie with a disappointed look on his face: "Sir, I think she is very important. I feel she is in danger. Don't you care about her?"
A sense of guilt surged into Reggie's heart. He took out the lord's badge from his arms and handed it into Hurley's hand: "Go to her. If anyone dares to stop you, just say it's a courtesy."
Got my order!"
"What if he doesn't obey your orders?"
"Then beat him! Don't forget that today is the New Year, don't kill anyone!"
Hurley left the altar with the badge, and Reggie called Tortosa: "Follow Hurley and try not to get him into trouble. If there is any accident, let me know at any time. In addition..."
Tortosa looked at Reggie: "What else?"
"You...you look so beautiful today."
The clothes of the Dongsang people matched Tortosa very well. Looking at Reggie's eyes, Tortosa, who had always been unrestrained, suddenly blushed and disappeared into the crowd at a trot.
…
At this moment, Bella was shivering behind the rockery. From the moment she saw the Hades Wizard, she immediately chose to escape. However, she ran until dawn, but still could not escape from the city lord's back garden.
This back garden seems to be bigger than Suixue City, with rockeries everywhere, ponds everywhere, and countless pavilions and pavilions.
The exhausted little witch was cold and hungry. She didn't know the Hades Wizard, but she could feel the primitive fear. Saga seemed to be a dark cloud with blood in her eyes. The most terrifying thing was that this
Dark clouds have been hanging over her head, and as long as it quiets down a little, she can hear his creepy breathing.
"Come out, my child."
His voice appeared again, no matter where he escaped, his voice would always appear in her ears. Bella blocked her mouth hard, fearing that she would make any noise.
Since she got rid of her status as a slave, Bella has never been as helpless as she is today. Although she is hated by everyone, she is also loved by everyone. Doranor often doesn't talk to her for several days, but as long as she is willing to speak
, the old wizard never refuses any of her requests.
Where is the damn old wizard? Where has the damn green-haired lord gone? If they can appear in front of her now, the little witch is willing to swear to the gods that she will never hurt them with vicious words in this life.
"I see you, come out," Saga stood behind the stone. Bella had already seen the shadow on the ground, "I won't hurt you, I just need your help."
Bella closed her eyes, she had no strength to escape anymore.
"Don't come over, just stand behind the stone, okay?" Bella said with tears, "You, what do you want me to do? Can, can you tell me?"
"You know what I want, do you have to force me to say it?" Saga said with a smile, "I am the most powerful wizard in the world, and the most powerful wizard should have a more suitable identity."
"What identity do you want?"
"My child," Saga shook his head and said, "don't always test my patience."
"You want me to raise your level? You have such powerful witchcraft, you should be above the stars long ago."
"I said, don't test my patience again." Saga was irritated. He felt that Bella was making fun of him. He was not a measured person to begin with, and he had always been very sensitive to the matter of rank.
"I'm sorry, I, I can't, can't help you." Bella cried so hard that she couldn't speak. She didn't lie. She really couldn't help Saga because Saga was too irritable. She just mentioned the wizard's level.
This aroused Saga's anger. If he had heard those vicious words, he might have broken Bella's neck.
"What did you just say, my child?" The Hades Wizard turned his ear, as if listening to Bella very carefully, "Repeat it again, I didn't hear it clearly."
"I, I, I mean, I can't help you..."
"It seems I should talk to you in another way."
The rockery behind her instantly turned into rubble. Bella cried and ran wildly: "Help me, someone help me!"
…
Hurley stood at the door of the back garden and said to the guard: "You don't recognize me? I am the madman who just came here. Do you recognize this thing? This is the lord's badge, a badge that belongs to Lord Victor. I
Following Lord Victor's order, I came here to look for my friend."
"There are no friends of yours here, only the ladies of the city lord!" The guard's attitude was very arrogant, "Please leave immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless with my blade!"
As he spoke, the guard's hand was already on the handle of the knife.
Hurley looked at the opponent's sword and asked: "This is just a steel knife. This thing has no emotions."
"Stop provoking me!" The guard took a step forward, as if he was about to attack. "As long as my sword is unsheathed, I will drink blood."
"This is even more outrageous!" Hurley laughed, "I have learned some biological knowledge from adults. Your knife has no digestive system at all, so how can it drink blood?"
Hurley's attitude made the guard dumbfounded. Another guard said from the side: "Give him a taste of pain, otherwise this lunatic will continue to pester him."
"What should I do if the lord blames me?"
"The lord will not blame you. He is just a servant like us."
The guard said with a ferocious smile: "Madman, listen carefully, I will only chop you once, and I will leave a three-inch long wound on your chest. If it is an inch longer or an inch shorter, I will kowtow to you to apologize.
I will let you in immediately!"
"There's no need to kowtow, just let me in!" Hurley quickly unbuttoned his clothes and exposed his chest, "Hurry up and do it. When you finish cutting, I'll find a ruler to measure the length of the wound.
"
"Don't regret it!" The guard's eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
"Please hurry up," Hurley shuddered, "it's quite cold in here."
The guard shouted, drew his sword, and was about to slash Hurley, but found that only a small section of his sword was left, and hot molten iron flowed out of the scabbard.
"Have you finished cutting?" Hurley looked at his chest, "Where is the wound? Is it three inches?"
The guard was still in a daze until the molten iron burned through the scabbard, making him scream in pain.
Another guard was horrified. He was about to draw his sword when he saw flames coming out of Hurley's fingers.
"When you draw the sword, be slow, try to be slow, don't splash the molten metal on your face!"
