The Divine Hunter - Chapter 581

Chapter 581

The long wall of Maribo is looming in the green field.

The gathering clouds blocked the setting sun above the sky. In the evening breeze, the tired Alzu came to the civilian area to the east of the city, in front of an old wooden house.

An old woman in ragged clothes lay dying on a wicker chair in the yard in the cold winter evening.

The lantern hung under the eaves swaying light.

The woman’s body under the patchy linen dress is as thin as wood, and her withered cheeks are bloodless, like a dying person.

Alzu squatted down in front of her, staring at this face that she could see every day in her childhood.

Memory rotation.

At that time, she was young and beautiful, kind-hearted, and took care of herself the most among all her aunts. Although she always liked to laugh at her reckless and stupid knighthood, she was most like a mother.

For more than 20 years, I was tortured into a human form by life!

Black and beautiful hair is as white as frost and snow.

“Aunt Audrey?” He softly called the old man on the wicker chair who seemed to be dying at any time.

“You, who are you?”

The old woman woke up from her shallow sleep trembling, and looked surprised at the handsome and mature face emerging from the dark.

“Don’t you remember me? The great fool of the Burns family.”

“Casillas!? How is it possible! That brat has never come back since he left with Master Cosimo. It’s been more than 20 years, how is it possible!”

“I’m back, I have another name, Alzu.”

Alzu was a little guilty, and for a long time he devoted himself to the Demon Hunter Order.

Ignore the former relatives.

She stared blankly, stunned in disbelief for five full seconds before looking up at him cautiously.

“Summoned the mage of the big centipede on the battlefield of the dagger war a year ago?”

“it’s me.”

Last year, during the boom of the Demon Hunter’s cult, he returned from Liliana’s tombstone outside the city and passed by Maribo, which had been away for decades.

Suddenly discovered that the dagger war between Prince Maribo and Grand Duke Elland to fight for the seat of King Vizima is still going on and getting worse.

No hundreds of people in the two countries were forced to go to the war meat grinder, and countless people died.

The people are miserable.

Alzu, whose mission is to save the common people, is really unbearable.

In front of the world, for the first time cast a double cross summoning technique.

Throw a terrifying monster into the battlefield and put an end to this **** battle.

“So you helped the Prince of Maribo win the throne of Vizima.”

The old woman looked at him with complicated eyes. I can’t say anything to think that the once stupid boy turned into such an amazing big man!

He is in his forties, but he looks like a handsome young man in his early thirties.

“Hmm.” Alzu nodded tiredly, who let him be born in Maribo, subconsciously helped Prince Maribo defeat Elland.

“Aunt Odell, how did the family fall to this point? I’ve seen it before, and the Burns family mansion has become a ruin? Where are the other uncles and aunts, and Olek?”

The old man sits upright, silently covers his cheek with his withered palm, his voice is sad,

“The Burns family disappeared years ago…”

“Your cousins ​​Olek and Tashk, young and strong, joined the army by the Duke’s sign, and died before the war was won.”

Alzu has a solemn expression.

The two naughty boys faintly flashed in front of them.

He often bullies himself.

But looking back now, he didn’t have the slightest resentment, just sighed.

just died like that.

“As for our big house, the night when the Grand Duke of Airland announced his surrender last year, he was ransacked by a group of ‘thugs’ on the night of carnival, and then burned to ashes.”

“Your two uncles and aunts were burned to death. Five others and I managed to escape, but the money was gone and we had to move to this ruined house.”

The woman’s voice choked,

“Your three uncles and aunts are used to living a life of fine clothes and jade food. After a few months of such a hard life without enough food and clothing, they fell sick and died one after another. Only me and Zenina are living on each other.”

“The sheriff, did not catch the murderer?” Alzu’s face was tragic.

Although no one of those relatives regards themselves as their own, they support themselves!

“Carnival night, two centuries of war are over. The whole city is enjoying and celebrating. No one can notice the public security problem. I heard that several families have suffered that night and they have reported the crime. No news came back, and it was finally nothing.”

Maripome clearly won the war, why should such a human tragedy happen? !

Alzu’s heart quietly tightened, and a sorrow permeated.

“After that, Zenina went to the medical room at the outermost periphery of Meritelli Temple as a volunteer in order to subsidize her living. She treated the wounded, changed food, and came back almost once a week.”

The woman leaned back against the cold wall, crying secretly,

Alzu looked in a trance, and he flashed that braided and arrogant little face before his eyes, which he had not seen for many years.

The spoiled eldest lady’s temper, Ze Nina would actually go to be a doctor in a dirty and smelly environment, treating illnesses and saving people.

The world is really amazing.

Temple physician.

Liliana’s previous work.

The woman took a deep breath, and suddenly grabbed Alzu’s hand. Her skin was skinny and her skin was as cold as ice.

“Alzu, no, Casillas, you are a big man. The army, the prince, and the priest are going to give you face, right? Please go to the medical room outside the temple and see it for me… Help Zenina say something nice , Let her work a little easier and let her not suffer anymore.”

“Help me, Casillas,” she pleaded, tears rolling across her dry cheeks, “for the sake of taking care of you before!”

“Don’t worry, auntie.” Alzu wrapped the woman’s cold palm in his palm, nodding his head heavily, “Wait for my good news.”

…

The Temple Hospital is just west of Maripo. Because of the war that lasted for two centuries and the harm of monsters, there are a large number of wounded and sick every day. It is undisputedly the largest building in the city with a brightly lit gate.

Alzu traveled unimpeded all the way.

Outside the magnificent buildings outside the temple, black tents form the outer area.

Wandering believers, patients, priestesses saw his face with black curly hair, brown eyes, and mysterious and expensive rings and talismans.

immediately fell into shock.

Bow and salute, with respectful gratitude and a little fear.

The dagger war is over, but the Maribo people will never forget the scene where the fateful enemy, Elland’s army, was crushed and pierced by the mage’s summons.

He is the great benefactor of the entire Principality of Maribo!

“You are—Master Alzu?!” A middle-aged priestess dressed in a white robe with wrinkles on her face greeted her with a smile on her face, “What brought you here? I will send someone to find out. Grand Duke Flock!”

“Relax, I’ll just take a look.” Alzu glanced at her and continued to walk towards the brightly lit tent area, “Where is the treatment room?”

“Are you injured? I will take you into the temple, sisters have better medical skills.”

“I want to meet someone… Dr. Zenina, she is in the treatment room outside.”

The priestess was taken aback, turned her face abruptly, and took a deep breath, “Please come here with me.”

In a wooden house in the middle of the tent, Alzu saw a dozen shirtless bandaged soldiers, hairy boys, and old people gathered around the table, playing the Kunt card in full swing.

Seeing the priests and warlocks of the temple, immediately fell silent,

“Where does Dr. Zenina live.” Al looked around, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

The priestess behind him looked ugly.

“You mean Zenina Burns, the former noble lady?”

A man who was scratched by the evil ghost with three claws on his face cast his gaze to the priestess next to him.

“What are you doing in a daze, did your lord ask you something?” the priestess reprimanded.

“Ms. Zenina hasn’t been here for two days.” The soldier with a mole on his left turned his head hurriedly, turned his back to the warlock, and winked at the other soldiers, asking them to unify their caliber.

“We also feel weird, we thought she had resigned!”

“Huh…” Alzu’s narrowed eyes shot out cold light, “Do you treat me as blind?”

He turned his head and looked at the priestess, who hesitated and dumbfounded, as if he didn’t know how to express it.

“Frankly explain, where did she go?”

His voice seemed to carry a magical power that penetrated the hearts of the people, following the breeze across the room.

A man with a plaster cast in his left hand suddenly looked blank, stiffened his face strangely like a puppet, and opened his mouth mechanically.

“Zenina is dead…”

This moment.

The temperature in the air dropped suddenly.

Everyone’s breathing is stagnant.

quickly returned to normal.

“Haha…” Alzu laughed suddenly, this laughter made everyone feel terrified. “Near the Temple of the Goddess of Meritelli, a lady who treated illnesses and saved people with a noble character, actually died?”

He looked at the priestess behind him, her eyes sharp like a knife,

“explain.”

The priestess clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, her face pale and dumbfounded.

“Ms. Zenina, I was ruined by two patients…” The old man with a bandage wrapped around his head, with a struggling expression on his face, looked at the closed door on the left side of the wooden house, and then said intermittently, “For the convenience of taking care of the wounded. , She slept in the room next to this treatment room at night.”

“But three days ago, two men saw that she was beautiful, she was not a priestess of the temple, and she was not protected by Meritelli, so they became wicked. They secretly opened the door in the middle of the night and insulted her, and then sneaked away. .”

“She was embarrassed and embarrassed. The next day, she hanged herself in the ward.”

…

There was a long and difficult silence in the treatment room.

“Where’s the corpse?” Alzu’s tone was unusually calm, which was palpable.

“In the morgue.” The priestess stammered, “You know, a few people die every day in the hospital. After the war, most of them were killed by monsters.”

“Someone injured the doctor near the temple. Why didn’t even a little bit of news leak out for such a major accident?”

“I…” The priestess was photographed by his burning brown eyes and opened her mouth. “The priests are worried that things will spread out and affect the reputation of Meritelli Temple, so… But the sheriff is still investigating. No results yet.”

“Still investigating? Your doctor is dead, so you just sit in the room and play comfortably?” Alzu’s mouth opened in an indifferent arc, and his sharp eyes scanned the ten patients in the field one by one, and they lowered their heads. “You so many people, lying in one room with so many eyes, haven’t one spotted the brutality? Stop those two beasts!?”

A patient with purple syrup on his chest whispered and explained, “The two guys are as strong as disgusting mutants… They also served in the military in Maribo. They threatened me with their eyes, slammed my knife, and warned me. …I’m afraid, I dare not say…”

Alzu raised his head back and closed his eyes.

The soldier I helped killed a doctor.

“Master Alzu, I, I can’t help it…” Another young man with his left leg fixed to a wooden board carefully glanced at the furious warlock, “I don’t want the other leg to be discounted.”

…

“Stop talking, bring Zeni’s body back immediately.”

“Ah, my lord, it’s too late today. How about tomorrow?” the priestess asked.

“immediately.”

…

After half an hour.

Alzu saw Zenina’s body as he wished.

She is not young anymore.

But her past spoiled life made her look better than most poor people.

At this moment, this smooth and beautiful face is abnormally black, freezing with horror before death.

Bruise and muscle cramps all over the body.

Apparently has been cruelly treated.

“Did she heal your injuries?”

Alzu asked slowly.

Everyone bowed their heads and twisted their bodies like pins and needles.

“Are you worthy of her treatment? The savior dared not lend a helping hand after being insulted? Is there a bit of humanity and conscience left in your chest?”

No one answered.

“Do you know that condoning crime is also an unforgivable sin?”

Several men swallowed hard, and the room was silent.

The mage stared at the priestess.

“This is the dogma of the goddess Meritelli?”

“Sorry, Master Alzu, but I can’t help it, I’m lighthearted.”

The priestess turned pale, with an expression of shame, she squeezed out a tear.

“But in your respected capacity, as long as you speak to the Grand Duke in person, the investigation will result immediately! He will definitely hand over the two prisoners to you immediately! I heard that he will still want you to continue to act. He will continue to rely on you to siege the city and land!”

Alzu stared at Zenina, in a daze, as if seeing another face.

The same temple physician.

also died quite painful.

The objects they sacrificed their lives to save, also abandoned them.

How similar is   ?

Vaguely, Zenina’s bruised cheek overlapped with the pretty face that had been gone for decades in Alzu’s memory.

The patients in the treatment room were shocked.

The distinguished mage actually knelt down in front of the female corpse, gently holding her cold and stiff hand, and pressing the back of her hand to her forehead.

“Lilianna, is it worth saving such a group of people? Is it worth it to create a safe world without monsters for them?” Alzu stared affectionately at that fantasy face, his tone was firm, and he shook his head. This time he finally gave a negative The answer-“Not worth it, they are not worth redemption!”

A slow, long, heart-piercing pain took all of his body and mind.

He shook his palm in the air, and a yellow lily medal appeared in his palm.

“I’m tired, let’s end it.”

He whispered nervously, everyone in the treatment room was quiet, unknowingly, his back began to chill, and the strange agitating energy around the man in front of him created a strange hallucination—

A series of neighing and louder sounds of the bereavement birds, the intertwined reverb seems to swallow everything.

“Decades have passed, I finally understand. The human beings killed by monsters are less than one percent of the people who died in the hands of their compatriots.”

“Master,” the priestess asked tremblingly, shrinking her shoulders, “What are you talking about?”

“Endless wars, greedy desires, ugly crimes, selfish hearts…it is the biggest cancer in this world.”

…

Everyone’s eyes widened.

The candlelight suddenly went out, and the room sank into a dark and terrible silence.

A pair of eyes flashed in the dark.

A raging flame ignited in the fireplace in the house, illuminating the whole house.

Boom!

Click!

Beyond the gate, the dazzling thunder and lightning with silver and purple arcs illuminate the low sky at night and the tearful face of Alzu!

The treatment room, the Temple of Meritelli, and the entire Maribo. Countless people walked out of the room and looked at the chaos in the dark sky.

The clouds rolled in the high altitude, becoming thicker and thicker, and it was as dark as ink, and the city under the dark clouds became more and more gloomy.

Suddenly, the forked lightning split the gloomy head, and the harsh thunder blasted one after another.

“The gods!” A gray-haired old man was frightened incoherently. “Is the end of the world coming?”

The patter of rain enveloped the entire city in the squally wind. The dark gray dark clouds hovered and rolled, and a tornado ripped a big hole in the sky, and countless lightning-like cracks in the dry earth poured out from it, bursting with dazzling thunder.

“Master Alzu, then,” the priestess asked, staring at the sky outside the window, with trembling teeth, “Is that your portal? Which one was on the battlefield a year ago?”

Everyone in the treatment room was stunned, their faces turned pale!

The man in the cast frantically begged for mercy and rushed out the door.

Countless people were frightened and ran out of the house like headless flies.

Outside the treatment room, a cloud of mist burst, and the figure in the cloak jumped out abruptly.

A sword in hand.

The sword is dazzling.

The running plaster man clutched his broken neck and fell to the ground head on.

In the flying blood.

Roy saw the familiar word.

Kill Akalin, experience value +20, Demon Hunter lv13 (20000/14500)

These human beings are not illusions, this is a real world!

He looked towards the horizon.

A terrifying creature that shades the sky, like a snake with billions of legs, emerged from the depths of the tornado, twisted and squirmed in the sky, and finally fell on the head of the goddess Meritelli in the city of Maribo. !

The magnificent, sacred and solemn temple was instantly crushed to pieces by the huge beast body, like a waterfall in the rain, dust and fog, and it was reduced to ruins.

The earth trembled, and in the wailing sound, countless groups of tiny humans like ants burst into flesh!

More people couldn’t even scream, they were crushed by the broken stone wall and died.

The cross-shaped crack closed abruptly, and the dazzling thunder light suddenly disappeared. Only the dark cumulus clouds, the darkened city, and the multi-legged giant beasts whose outlines are occasionally illuminated by convulsive electric lights.

It crushed the temple, created a terrifying chasm on the ground in the west of the city, and divided the city in half!

rushed unstoppably to the barracks in Maribo and the ducal palace in the northwest!

Every time the electric light flickers, you can see this huge centipede wrecking havoc in the city.

It spread its jaws, shrank its body, and crushed the magnificent buildings to the ground.

The emerald green venom falls like rain, corroding everything blocking the road into mud and white smoke.

The most prosperous western city area has become a purgatory.

Alzu scattered the body shield and walked on the cracked Maribo Street, full of chaotic energy, arbitrary lightning, and all the salivating demons.

Screams, panics, destruction.

Finished him like the messenger who brought the doomsday!

And himself, with tears in his eyes, walking towards the death purgatory created by the salivating demons and towards destruction.

“Come back, Alzu…”

A figure with white beard fluttering, sleeves agitated, and the invisible magic smashed into the broken rock of the disciple!

Cosimo fell behind Alzu and grabbed his shoulder!

Alzu turned his head, lightning illuminates his painful and distorted face.

“Teacher, the efforts of the past few decades are meaningless!”

“The demon hunter can clean the monsters. But he cannot clean the dark side of people’s hearts.”

“Those deep-rooted selfishness, greed, cruelty, indifference…more harmful than countless monsters.”

rumbling.

Amidst the thunder, he hissed and roared!

“Not worth saving!”

“I’m tired, teacher, I’m going down to find her.”

“When you are tired, let it go temporarily and throw away the restraints.”

“Leave with me, Alzu. The legacy of my teacher Geoffrey Munch may allow you to reunite with Liliana.”

The old man stretched out his hand towards him, with muddy eyes and old cheeks, just like when he met for the first time many years ago and invited him.

Alzu’s footsteps towards destruction were a pause.
