She Chooses To Destroy the World
Chapter 62: Halfway crisis.
There is a fixed process for the Duchess to come to worship the God of Light. It is nothing more than going to the statue of God of Light, offering flowers to the God of Light and the queen, saying a fixed set of words to pray for all success, and finally donating to the God of Light. The money from the temple is handed over to the master priest, and the ceremony is over.
True devout believers will enter the prayer room set up in the temple at this time to meditate and try to communicate with the gods at a deeper level. However, the Duchess of Felix is not in the category of "piety believers", or if the God of Light really decides to say something to her, it will make the Duchess feel a headache. In order to avoid such complicated accidents, the Duchess of Felix will never enter the prayer room.
But she did pray for a long time in front of the **** of light.
The safety of the duchess is guaranteed in the temple. At this time, Alice didn't want to go to the statue of the God of Light to brush her sense of existence. So she simply went around to the God of Dark Night behind the God of Light, and curiously admired the heroic postures of several idols.
When she came to the temple last time, she stayed only around the family gods of the God of Light, and did not go towards the God of Dark Night. This time she pretended to be Dark Ye's family member, and there was a real reason to come here to take a look.
The God of Dark Night and the God of Light were supposed to be equal gods, but in this temple called the "Temple of Light", his status is obviously not as lofty as the God of Light. The **** of light, the queen, and their six dependent gods occupy four-fifths of the space in the main hall, while the **** of dark night and his three dependents only surround the semicircular part at the end of the hall. The sun through the stained glass skylight on the dome shone on the head of the **** of light, making the **** look extraordinarily stalwart. On the back of him, Ludenier, the **** of the night, showed his head down and contemplative, which made him appear shorter than the **** of light. His three dependent gods stood against the curved wall facing the **** of night.
The Dark Night God does not have a queen. In the Dark Night world, there is no such concept of "husband and wife" or "lifetime partner". If you have to say that the night **** has a partner, it must be Arnie, the **** of eroticism. It is said that Arnie was originally a mortal woman. Because of the temptation of the night **** Ludniel, he obtained the godhead and became his dependent god. She is not an upright god, but seems to represent the opposite of Fogna, the goddess of family and fertility.
Although Alice hated Fogna very much, Arnie was not very likable either. Alice can still remember the expression Lena showed when she mentioned Arnie when she was working in the tavern. Although these gods have female faces, they themselves are the source of many women's sufferings.
In addition to Arnie, there are Bacchus the Bacchus and Hordis, the **** of death. These three gods represent eros, madness and death respectively. They stood opposite the meditating Dark Night God, and it seemed that there was a subtle metaphor in it that was difficult to explain. Only those who are determined to spend their entire life interpreting these can get a glimpse of the mystery.
In the temple, there is no prayer room specially prepared for the believers in the dark night, only a kneeling mat is placed symbolically in the center of the four gods. The kneeling pad was new, but there was dust on it, and it was obvious that no one had ever moved it.
Alice wiped the dust on it and sat on it for a while.
Although there is no completely enclosed prayer room here, it is more suitable for meditation than the prayer room. However, the Duchess’ prayers are coming to an end, and Alice can’t stay here any longer.
She accompanied the duchess to leave the temple, and helped her get into the carriage with her hand. As soon as the coachman waved his whip, the two horses turned the wheels. The duchess poked her head out of the car window and asked Alice:
"Alice, I remember that you don't seem to be a believer of the night gods."
There seemed to be no blame in the duke's tone. But Alice was still a little apprehensive:
"Yes, the gods I believe in are regarded as rebellious, and once they are noticed, they will cause murder. Please forgive me for the crime of concealment."
"According to the custom of our West Felix collar, the lord should not make irresponsible remarks about the faith of the knight." said the Duchess, "but you are about to follow me to the royal capital. You must be very cautious. There is no better than West Felix. , If something really happens, even I can't keep you."
Alice knew that this was the kindness of the Duchess, she was nodding, but the Duchess' car stopped suddenly, and the road ahead seemed to be blocked by something.
The duchess was sitting in the car, unable to see the outside world, so she could only ask Alice:
"Why did the car stop?"
"I'll go take a look."
Suddenly encountering such a thing, Alice felt a little nervous in her heart. I'm afraid something is going to happen. She rode forward and asked loudly. The guards reported in front that there was a carriage carrying vegetables with a broken axle and it was stopping in the road at this time.
Although it was supposed to be a coincidence, Alice felt a little uneasy in her heart, but it was a coincidence that there was a car blocking the road at this time. She is inexperienced and has not prepared a plan to deal with such incidents in advance. On this day, both Bennett and Arnold were asked to stay behind. Only Alice came out with the Duchess, and she did not even have anyone to discuss. .
Although she was upset, she did not show her face, and only said to the duchess:
"There was a damaged carriage blocking the road ahead, so we took a detour."
The Duchess nodded. Alice called the coachman to turn his horse's head, then called some guards for protection, and started walking on another road. Their car had just turned into another street when they saw a few people rushing past the crowd, looking very suspicious.
Oops, it turned out that someone intended to murder the duchess. If they didn't immediately decide to detour, I'm afraid they will be caught by the other side. But now they may not have no enemies in ambush on this road, Alice's spirit is tense, reaching out to touch the hilt of the sword, ready to fight with people at any time.
Sure enough, not long after they left, several riders appeared in front of them, obviously waiting for them here.
There were more people on the other side than her own, and the guards guarding the Duchess became nervous. Alice had never faced such a situation before, and she felt sweaty palms.
If she was a mercenary, she just had to chop the past regardless of this situation. But this time, her goal is to protect the duchess.
Alice looked at the surroundings.
This road was not the main road, it seemed a bit narrow, the other rider blocked the road, and the carriage obviously couldn't rush through. Moreover, the goal of the carriage is too large, it is really not flexible enough, and it is easy to be dangerous in the melee. The opponent’s riders are equal to the number of our own guards, and your own guards can support it for a while anyway. Alice opened the door of the car and said to the Duchess:
"The situation is urgent now. Your Highness, please share the ride with me."
The duke nodded, and stepped on Alice's stirrups, sitting sideways on her horse. "Uncomfortable" had never carried two people, and at this time he didn't scream very pleasantly. Fortunately, the weight of the Duchess is not much heavier than the full set of heavy armor that Alice wore before, and "awkward" can roughly tell that the situation is critical at this time. Even if she is unhappy, she can still bear it.
Alice took off her chain mail and put it on the duchess, riding her horse past the fighting guards and assassins, and galloping in the direction of the mansion. They ran out for several hundred meters, only to see someone chasing them from behind.
Alice felt cold, and the few guards just now might have died in the line.
With two people on his back, "Twisted" didn't run so fast, and it won't take long for someone to overtake him. Although she is not afraid of fighting, what should she do if she hurts the Duchess?
Alice was upset, she could only urge her to run "awkwardly". When he was at a loss, he saw a horse rushing in the alley next to him.
Alice originally thought it was chasing soldiers, and just about to draw her sword, she realized that there was no one on the horse's back.
The horse was completely dark with a beautiful silver star on its forehead, and its mane was soft and flowing, and it was more beautiful than any horse Alice had ever seen.
Alice seemed to see the savior and couldn't help but call out its name:
"Secilian!"
The dark horse neighed in response to her, slowed down, and walked with "awkwardness". Alice yelled:
"Cecilian, please send the Duchess back to the mansion safely!"
In response, the steed hissed, and Alice picked up the Duchess and placed her on Circillian's back.
The duchess looked calm, and took hold of the horse's reins.
"His Royal Highness, please don't worry." Alice said to her, "I will chase you after killing these people."
Circe Ann took the Duchess away, and Alice was able to concentrate on dealing with the assassins. She took the epee from her back and smiled at them:
"bring it on."
Since she almost died in a battle when she was seventeen, she has also fought a few times. It's just that I have never encountered such a life-critical scene. At this time, her heart beats very fast, not because of tension, but because of excitement. She found that she was born to love fighting, and as long as her opponent was not a god, she could not lose.
At this time, the four assassins rushed towards her from four directions.
These people are professional assassins, dead men raised by some nobles, with the skills of professional soldiers and the drive not to lose mercenaries, and they will never give up unless they achieve their goals.
But no one can beat Alice at this time.
Using the skills she learned from the old knight Philo, relying on her stamina and the sharpness of her sword, she cut down an assassin at the fastest speed, rushed out of the encirclement, and then turned her head around and killed two from behind. people.
These actions only happen for a moment.
The last person was so frightened that he didn't know how to react for a while. Alice did not kill him, she put the sword on his neck:
"Go back with me and make it clear who sent you here."
