Chapter 227: The Dead and the Journey

It's a pity that the arrogant woman named Lilith rarely gives them an explanation. How can she change her perspective and understand his difficulties?

Immediately, her pretty face turned sinister, and her face suddenly turned cold. In her scarlet-blooded pupils, there was an astonishing murderous intent that enveloped the congregation in front of her.

"What? You still dare to bargain with me? Do you want to disobey me?!"

"Don't dare, General!"

In the face of the woman's sudden release of murderous intent and oppression, this group of believers, including the leader, instantly fell to their knees like weak and powerless rabbits.

Only the leader was still trying to dissuade him.

"It's just that... since the last 'important sacrifice' was lost, General Krall has been furious. He even specially asked us to pay close attention to the 'sacrifice' stored outside the territory."

"That's why we hurriedly gathered manpower this time. We wanted to go out and quickly solve the 'consecration' problem outside the territory. Otherwise, if there is another delay, General Claure will blame me and others."

"So I ask General Lilith to forgive me and let me go. We only need to go out for a while, and we will not reveal even half of the secrets of the sect!"

After receiving the explanation and promise from the leader of the congregation, Lilith's face became a little brighter.

"Is it the order from that guy Krall? This guy's hands are really stretching longer and longer..."

"But you don't have to worry about the sacrifices. The sacrifices during this period will also be canceled accordingly. Because this order to hide everyone is the highest order issued by His Majesty the Pope!"

"So what you have to do now is to turn around and return to the inner world to hide yourself. As for Crowl, there will naturally be orders from His Majesty the Pope."

"this……"

The members of the congregation looked at each other again, seemingly hesitant. But the charming woman no longer had the patience to explain to them and directly issued an ultimatum.

"I'm telling you one last time, please return to the inner world now! If you dare to take a step outside again, you will be punished as apostasy!"

As she spoke, scarlet blood slowly appeared on her arms that exposed the delicate snow-white skin. It flowed between her arms like a living thing, and finally formed two dark red curved blades.

The piercing murderous intention suddenly came again, and a cold announcement sounded.

"And I will judge and kill you one by one here!"

Fortunately, they still knew each other, and after reaching this point, they finally stopped thinking about it. They all fell to the ground under her pressure and responded respectfully in unison.

"I obey General Lilith's orders!"



After the group of believers turned back in order and teleported away step by step and disappeared from sight, the charming woman named Lilith exhaled and frowned.

"I finally completed your order. It's so troublesome to even convey the order. These guys are becoming more and more courageous under the leadership of Crowl."

"You can't even scream. You even dare to question my words for a long time. If it weren't for the orders of the adults... Humph!"

The last cold snort showed the strong dissatisfaction and murderous intention in the woman's heart. With her temperament, such a disobedient subordinate who dared to question would obviously not end well.

If it weren't for the Pope's order, she would have killed all these guys long ago.

"Oh - forget it. When you go back later, you must ask your lord to warn that guy Claure. This guy's ambition is too great, and it is inevitable that he will have the idea of ​​overstepping and offending..."

After saying the last words to herself, the charming woman named Lilith also turned around and turned into blood red again, just as she suddenly appeared, and slowly disappeared from where she was.

They had deliberately hidden themselves, and coupled with the chaotic and weird environment in the valley, the scene where this "accident" was stopped was not witnessed by anyone.



Not to mention the turbulent undercurrent that happened in secret, and the pale group of people in the town. After Marco and the two had settled their obsession with revenge, it was time to set off again.

"Don't be too sad, Marco. You have avenged Uncle Jeff."

The girl Anna walked to the boy's side, gently held his generous hand, and softly comforted the sweetheart in front of her.

"I'm fine, Anna."

Marco, who had just removed Jeff's bones, burned them into ashes and buried them, was still in a somewhat heavy mood. He shook his head and recalled the days of adventure with him.

His eyes, which were once again as clear as the blue sky, reflected the clear blue sky behind the heavy snow at this moment.

"When my uncle and I went on adventures together, he once said that those who work as adventurers basically work with their heads tied to their belts and take risks with their lives."

"So whether he died on the way to adventure, or I died on the way of adventure. It's not a strange thing, and there is no need to be too sentimental about it..."

Having said this, the young man couldn't help but sniff, and he could force a smile on his face.

"He once said...Adventurers travel around and take risks. Some do it for financial gain; some do it for adventure and excitement; and he just does it to see the scenery in all directions..."

"Marco..."

But even though he forced a smile on his face, the girl who understood him was smart and smart, but he could still feel the heavy sadness in his heart through the smile on his face.

Infected by sadness, Anna could not help but feel a touch of moisture and crystal clearness in the corners of her eyes. But she still held the young man's hand tightly, wanting to give him even a glimmer of comfort.

"Don't cry. I believe that even if Uncle Jeff dies, he doesn't want to see us crying for him. According to his normal temperament, he will find it too girly..."

Marco gently raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes, and the smile on his face became gentler. Even though he said not to cry, the corners of his own eyes were uncontrollably moist and dry.

The young man raised his head again and exhaled, calming down his emotions before continuing.

"So in fact, I don't need to be too sad. My uncle once said that if he dies one day, there is no need to bother to help him send his body, ashes, etc. back to his hometown."

"Just bury him wherever he died. He spent most of his life adventuring and wandering around, and there is no such thing as a hometown for a long time..."

"It just so happens that he also likes to see the scenery in all directions, so I just need to find a place with beautiful scenery for him and bury him. I just hope that after my uncle dies, he can still see the scenery he wants to see..."

Having said this, he looked at the girl next to him who had swallowed harder but was still suppressing herself from crying. Marco sighed softly and took the girl into his arms.

He patted the girl's thin shoulder and comforted her softly.

"It's okay, Anna. I have already buried Uncle Jeff on the hillside with the best view next to the town. He can clearly see all the scenery in this valley..."

"Well...although there may not be much beautiful scenery in the valley."

At the end of the sentence, the young man smiled in shock and sighed softly. He lowered his face to hide his expression, but still silently comforted the girl in his arms.



"Sigh... I obviously don't know that Uncle Jeff of theirs at all. But just looking at it makes me feel heavy."

Black Dragon Xiaobai, who was watching Marco burying his companions, also rarely showed his usual carelessness. There was a heavy look on his face and he sighed.

"No way, emotions are always contagious."

There was only a pale face among the group of people, and they did not show any meaning because of the scene in front of them. It was just that their expressions were a little more solemn than usual.

Perhaps... he is not really as cold and heartless as he seems. It's just that in his long journey of life, he has witnessed too many scenes of life and death.

At least at this moment, even the girl Ariel's mood became heavy and sad due to the infection of sadness, and she even leaned in his arms a little too closely because of this.

Girls' emotions are always more emotional and sensitive, and he is quite sensible and doesn't pay too much attention at this time.

"People will eventually die and be separated one day."

Ariel sniffed and raised her little face with red eyes from her pale arms. Looking at his handsome face so close at the moment, the girl asked quite seriously.

"Although speaking directly in this situation will make me look straight."

Huanwan accepted the question of death with some helplessness, shook his head and complained. Shenqing regained his composure again, and said solemnly with his eyes behind the black thin-rimmed glasses.

"But I still have to tell you that it is indeed like this. Parting and leaving... are common things in life. If you want to become stronger, this is a hardship you have to face."

"You...will also die. Will you ever leave me one day?"

The girl stubbornly looked into his dark eyes and said unwillingly.

"I will not die, but you will. So... there will be a day when I leave you."

He spoke straight manly words again, revealing the cruel reality behind the seemingly warm relationship.

"Whether you don't want to die, or you want to retain something that should have passed away. You need extremely powerful power, the power that can transcend life and death, and break the fate of time..."

Seeing Ariel's thoughtful expression, Bai Bai shook his head and sighed, saying nothing more.



"Goodbye, Uncle Jeff..."

In front of the rough grave, Marco and the two men gathered themselves together after saying their final goodbyes. The young man even forced a smile again and greeted the pale people.

"It's time to set off, everyone! If we don't set off, I'm afraid there will be heavy snowfall later in the day, and it won't be easy to travel by then."

"Well... let's go."

Bai Bai did not comfort Ariel who was in a strange mood, and asked the black dragon Xiaobai to retrieve the carriage that he had left before. The group of people took the carriage again and started the next adventure.
