Chapter 1791 Gods (Part 2)
Captain Malik spat out a mouthful of blood, with a look of panic on his face... This was obviously not the bravest elf in the village that Mayfair had known, so Mayfair was equally shocked.
But at this time, Captain Malik, who was on the ground, naturally saw Mayfair, who was hiding above with his body propped up.
They looked directly into each other's eyes.
Mayfair's face turned pale and he almost fell down.
But Captain Malik was looking through the door in a panic at the inner temple, and said in a trembling voice: "Tomorrow... there will be sacrifices delivered to the temple tomorrow! Wait, wait!"
"I'm hungry, I'm really hungry!"
"Okay, okay...I'll go find something fresh right away...live one, it must be alive!"
"Remember, don't let me down again, otherwise... you know the consequences."
Bang——!
The door was immediately closed at this moment, and Captain Malik let out a sigh of relief. His whole body seemed to have lost all strength, and he fell limp to the ground. Mayfair did not dare to move at this moment.
Captain Malik has clearly seen his own, but why did he...
At this moment, Captain Malik raised his head again and stared into Lemephire's eyes again - she was even more frightened, but at this moment, Captain Malik actually made a silence gesture.
Mayfair couldn't help but feel startled.
……
……
It's still a temple... but it's slightly farther away from the inner hall - this is a place used by the village to baptize newborns. There's nothing going on on weekdays and it's basically not used... It's a relatively remote place.
Mayfair looked at the silent Captain Malik with vigilance at this time - this is where he led her to.
The two sides kept an arm's length distance, and Mayfair even kept his palm on his waist where the weapon was placed, and never let go.
"Okay, let's go from here." The silent captain Malik suddenly said: "The back of the baptism hall can lead directly to the back door of the temple. When you go out from there, it will be dark soon. You take advantage of the guard outside to hand over When the time comes, find another chance to go down the mountain. This shouldn’t be difficult for you. After all, you are his daughter... He used to be the fastest runner in the village, and I know you can actually run very fast too."
"You...you let me go?" Mayfair looked at Captain Malik in disbelief.
She was constantly reminiscing about Captain Malik - Captain Malik was forty or fifty years older than her, and he was still considered the younger generation among the elves.
I heard that he was relatively ordinary in the past, but he showed considerable bravery as an adult. Soon after, he was recognized as the bravest among the younger generation in the tribe. In the end, he passed the selection directly and became the captain of the temple guard team.
Captain Malik is kind and kind to everyone... Even if he was eventually selected to be a sacrifice to serve the gods, I heard that Captain Malik had privately opposed it.
Before the recent temple [today], Mayfair had even secretly been grateful to Captain Malik of the Guards, but this gratitude had long since evaporated when she saw Captain Malik killing his tribe members with his own hands... She was even extremely jealous of this man. A guy who hides a terrible face.
However, in front of the inner hall, Captain Malik did not catch him directly. Instead, he still wanted to let him go, which made Mayfair feel a little confused... Captain Malik, it is difficult that the person in the inner hall was not pretending to be Minions and accomplices of gods and monsters?
But he clearly killed the members of his own guard team with his own hands and brought the bodies of the members into the inner hall, hoping to feed the terrifying monster.
"I heard that you escaped privately earlier today." Captain Malik frowned and said, "Since you have escaped, why are you coming back?"
"I'm back, isn't it just what you want?" Mayfair sneered at this time: "Otherwise, where will you go to find a living sacrifice and send it to the gods... and send it to the monster? A living sacrifice? ”
"How much did you see?" Captain Malik's expression turned serious, and his eyes looking at Mayfair were filled with a trace of evil aura.
She had already been prepared. At this time, she directly drew her weapon and stood ready, "I saw it all - sneak attack from behind and kill the clansman, and bring the clansman's body to the inner hall along the way! I saw it all, and I saw it very clearly. Clearly! Malik, I will definitely tell the whole village about this...even the monster pretending to be a god!"
"You shouldn't have come back." Captain Malik sighed, "You can obviously escape...why don't you escape? You have no father or mother, and there is nothing to worry about here. Leave the tribe, leave the forest, Is the outside world not good for you? ”
"I have thought about it." Mayfair said solemnly: "But if I leave...more people will be killed and eaten by you and the monster in the temple! I can't let it go! ”
"There is no other way." Captain Malik shook his head, and with a clang, he took out a sword that was longer and sharper than the short blade in Mayfair's hand, "I don't want others to know about this, so you You should know what I am going to do next...will you surrender directly, or will you let me really take action?"
Mayfair had already given the answer with her actions - she flashed out of the way and appeared behind Captain Malik like a ghost.
However, Captain Malik seemed to have expected it, and he casually inserted the sword into his back and directly blocked Mayfair's attack.
She failed with one attack and instead of closing the distance, she launched a stormy attack... However, the sword in Captain Malik's hand evolved into a light curtain, which was easily blocked.
In fact, in the face of Mayfair's intensive attacks, he didn't move even half a step.
Like lightning that suddenly struck the earth in the darkness, at the moment when Mayfair's strong attack was exhausted, Captain Malik swept his sword - the huge force directly knocked Mayfair away and even knocked him away. Her weapon was also knocked away.
Mayfair fell to the ground and couldn't help but feel the smell of blood in her throat. She quickly tried to get up, but at this time, the sword in Captain Malik's hand was pointed directly at her throat.
"You are very fast, but your strength is too poor, and your skills are even worse." Captain Malik said calmly: "From the time I asked you to leave, you have just left without saying anything... Integrity, obviously not Make your way easier.”
"Kill if you want." Mayfair gritted his teeth, "However, if you want to bring me alive to that monster, I would rather commit suicide here."
As she spoke, Mayfair suddenly slammed into Captain Malik's arms - it turned out that there was a palm-long knife hidden in her belt.
However, Captain Malik easily slapped Mayfair away with his sword - and at this time, Mayfair directly stabbed himself in the throat with the knife in his hand.
Captain Malik's eyes flashed... Faster than her, he flashed in front of Mayfair and knocked her unconscious with the hilt of his sword.
Plop——!
Miss Elf instantly collapsed on the ground and lost consciousness.
"With such a strong personality, he really doesn't look like an elf at all." Captain Malik shook his head, but directly picked up Mayfair and walked out of the baptism hall.
At this time, the daylight seemed to be about to disappear, and the sky had completely dimmed... At the temple on the hill, the guards began to light up the surrounding lights.
……
……
She woke up on a stone bed... The moment she woke up, Mayfair instinctively wanted to get away, but soon, she was pulled back by something.
Her legs - her legs were now shackled, connected to iron chains, and the iron chains were nailed to the stone bed - she could not break free at all.
Mayfair looked around in horror, and finally saw Captain Malik in the corner of the room.
At this time, Captain Malik raised his head and looked at something. A soft light fell on him, but because of the screen, Mayfair couldn't see what Captain Malik was looking at, but he thought it should be the window sill.
He was looking out the window, seemingly distracted by his thoughts... Even the sound of Mayfair struggling after waking up failed to alarm him.
"Why didn't you send me to the inner hall and hand me over to that man-eating monster?" Mayfair said coldly at this time.
"It fell asleep." Captain Malik said calmly: "You are lucky... In fact, it falls asleep very easily, but it will be hungry when it wakes up, and will become particularly irritable when it needs to eat."
"So, I can only save my life until it wakes up..." Mayfair was silent.
"Don't worry, I won't send you there tomorrow." Captain Malik still didn't look at Mayfair. "Because of the escape, the village has never been found, so the priest has been temporarily changed."
"Who is it!" Mayfair was shocked.
"It's the little daughter of Eric's family." Captain Malik said expressionlessly: "She looks very happy. The village is preparing for a celebration tonight to celebrate for her."
"She is not yet eighty years old! You actually..." Mayfair struggled excitedly again, and her delicate skin was even directly abraded by this.
"She will be sent to the temple in the middle of the night." Captain Malik suddenly stood up: "I went out to patrol... Don't think about leaving this room. There is a barrier outside that I released. With your power, Can’t open it.”
Only then did he look at Mayfair and said coldly: "Of course, I won't stop you if you want to commit suicide... It's just one more corpse to collect."
"Wait! Come back! Malik! Come back—!" she screamed.
However, Captain Malik had already left the room and locked the door.
Mayfair struggled to no avail and could only lie down on the stone bed in frustration. She said to herself: "You can't give up... If you want to escape from this room, you have to kill Uncle Eric." My daughter was rescued... Can’t give up, absolutely can’t give up!”
She gritted her teeth, sat up again, and then used her strength to hold the shackles... The soles of her feet were straightened, and she actually tried to pull the soles of her feet out of the shackles.
The metal had worn into her skin... even her flesh.
Finally - with a scream, Mayfair successfully pulled out her left foot, but at the cost, her left ankle was bleeding... and even bloody.
At this time, her whole body was soaked with painful cold sweat, her face was as pale as paper, and the left foot that she successfully pulled out even moved slightly, and she was in excruciating pain.
However, time did not wait for her... Mayfair looked at the shackles on her right foot again.
This time, the pain almost made her faint... She failed. The inhuman pain became a tiger blocking the road the second time.
Mayfair couldn't help curling up and crying secretly. She didn't cry out loud, but her tears soon mixed with sweat, dripped on the stone bed, and then melted away.
Suddenly, something fell out of her clothes... It was the sweet candy.
At this time, Mayfair tremblingly held up the candy... and was distracted.
After being distracted, Mayfair took a deep breath. She unwrapped the icing, broke half of the toffee inside, put half into her mouth, and wrapped the other half in icing again, and kept it close to her body.
Feeling the sweet taste melting into his mouth again, Mayfair casually wiped the stains on his face with his palms.
"Mayfair is neither painful nor bitter...Mayfair is sweet."
She murmured to herself, then she trembled, gritted her teeth, and suddenly began to twitch her right foot again - the hard metal shackles directly scraped away the flesh and skin of her ankle.
Little by little.
Finally, she fell under the stone bed... Mayfair gasped for air, feeling the burning pain in her feet now. Even the air could bully her bloody feet.
She rested for a moment and began to crawl slowly on the floor... But she was so exhausted that she just wanted to pass out.
There was a light in front of him, which should be the light coming from the window... Most of the light was blocked by the screen - this is where Captain Malik was sitting just now.
Mayfair climbed here, wondering if she could climb out of the window if there was a barrier on the door... She looked subconsciously.
What he saw was not a window at all... but a coffin placed vertically - the light was actually emitted by the coffin.
Luminous stones... This coffin is inlaid with several luminous stones, which are relatively easy materials to obtain in [Roaring Forest].
"Malik, have you been watching it?"
Mayfair gritted her teeth and crawled towards the coffin, then grabbed the coffin and climbed up with difficulty... She hesitated, but finally opened the coffin and opened her eyes to look inside.
"Empty...empty?"
But there was nothing in it... Mayfair opened his mouth, and finally could only ignore the empty coffin and turned to look at the door of the room.
……
Can't open!
She couldn't open it - all methods to break the curse had been tried, and the enchantment released on the door completely exceeded her power - just as Captain Malik said, she couldn't leave this room no matter what.
The time was quietly approaching for the new sacrifices to be delivered to the temple, and Mayfair was extremely anxious... and the injuries on her feet also caused her to lose too much blood because she could not receive effective treatment.
She could only simply bandage it, but the blood had completely seeped out.
Mayfair only felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and she felt that she could fall asleep at any time - maybe she would not wake up again after falling asleep, or maybe after waking up, it would be a new [today].
"Okay... if we go back to the morning..." Mayfair's eyes gradually became blurry: "Then no one will die... As long as I can't get out of [today], no one will have to die. This way, no one will die." Okay..."
"It's just..."
"I will forget..."
She slowly took out the remaining half of the candy in her arms, struggled to untie the sugar coating with her fingers, and finally slowly put the remaining half of the candy into her mouth.
Waiting for the sweetness to melt...
——Don’t want to forget.
At this moment, Mayfair's body suddenly had many black patterns... The patterns suddenly covered her whole body - and finally, from these blooming patterns, there were many strangely protruding ones. Shadow arms.
The arms directly wrapped Mayfair up... like a giant black cocoon, and finally, her body began to sink little by little.
It was a darkness that spread beneath her.
She could no longer hear any sounds, and her eyes had completely lost their luster, like an empty sentence... She couldn't even feel the taste in her mouth.
Click——!
A soft sound stirred something at this moment... alerting everything weird here!
As if the firelight made all the darkness disappear in an instant, the shadow-like arms on her body began to tremble randomly, and then quickly returned to the blooming patterns... and the patterns quickly began to shrink at this time - —In the end, all the patterns disappeared into Mayfair’s forehead.
Her eyes regained a hint of brilliance.
She saw that the warded door had opened and someone appeared in front of her.
"I found a key outside, so I opened the door to see...are you okay, Miss Mayfair."
Miss Elf burst into tears at this time. She cried and said: "I'm sorry, I ate the candy you gave me...Okay, can you give me another one?"
