"Witch King!! It's the Witch King!!!"
"The Sun Emperor is above!"
"I'm guilty! I'm guilty! I'm guilty!"
Accompanying Everyone was frightened by the loud noise, roar and strong wind in the sky. They had never seen anything like this before. Some people started crying, some started praying, and some started talking nonsense.
Ricas slowly raised his body, and when he looked up, he was shocked——
A huge metal beast was stagnant at a height of two people from the ground. It had short, ugly wings and a huge, plump body. Its belly was spraying blue fire downwards. It was simply a metal flying dragon in mythology - that was the red-robed beast. Demonic pets of the Witch Kings.
Suddenly, with a harsh friction sound, a dark hole opened in the side of the beast.
"Sun Emperor"
Likas trembled all over, and a terrifying giant covered in silver-gray metal walked out of the metal flying dragon. It was so huge, It was like a moving hill. More importantly, he found it difficult to look directly at the other person. The other person's back was to the sun, but he had to avoid the sun when he raised his head.
Nevertheless he was able to make a judgment——
Obviously, the red wizard kings were unwilling to fail and sent out their more terrifying lackeys.
Although there was almost a voice in his heart urging him to turn around quickly, run away, and escape from this invincible enemy.
However, when he saw the teacher's body, he still grabbed the machete beside him.
But soon, more "Witch King's lackeys" appeared, and Ricas also noticed another detail.
They all wore golden double-headed eagle emblems on their armor. symbol.
The leader suddenly shouted.
"It's an angel! It's an angel from the Sun Emperor! I've seen paintings of angels! These are angels! They came to take the chanter's soul to heaven!"
The Sun Emperor Angel?
After the bloody battle, Ricas was not only physically exhausted, but his mind also became sluggish. However, the leader's shout was so real.
It wasn’t until everyone knelt on the ground and knelt down to worship, and the other party almost walked in front of him, that Ricas blinked and vaguely came back to his senses. However, he faced the oppression of such a huge metal giant. It was so strong that he felt that it was becoming difficult to breathe, but he still tried hard to pick up the teacher's body and lift it up like a sacrifice - if the other party was really an angel, then let them take away the teacher's body. Soul, return to the sun.
But nothing happened. The giant made a sound similar to language, but he couldn't understand it.
Or incomprehensible——
“This boy still has the courage to hold on to the weapon. His battle just now was really full of cunning and enthusiasm.”
Soshiyan Looking down at the boy kneeling on the ground holding the body, he turned his head and looked at Andal standing aside.
“A good seed, what do you think of it, Chapter Master Andal?”
Andal stared at the boy for a while, then said slowly:
"It's a pity. He's just too old."
Soshiyang looked at the boy and realized what Andal said. It was the truth. According to the other party's skin and teeth, it was estimated that his age should be around 18 years old, and the difference would not be more than 3 years old. In terms of the current age of general recruitment to the Astartes Chapter, he was a bit older.
Ricas didn’t know what was happening. He could only watch blankly as the two angels looked down at him and uttered strange syllables. However, he could see each other’s eyes, which seemed to be able to burn his soul. The igniting gaze, and more importantly, the gaze from the smaller angel, was the kind he was familiar with. It was the look in the other person's eyes every time he went to the Great Chanter for inspection, only to be denied—— That was a look of rejection, and it was also the look he was most afraid of.
Why?
Could it be that even if the teacher has been reciting sutras all his life, he cannot ascend to heaven?
“And I plan to do a careful research before conducting centralized screening of peers. This will help maintain consistency in the transformation progress.”
Andal said this, and the meaning is obvious. , he is not prepared to have this boy.
Soshiyang turned his body and said with a smile:
"It is not impossible to transform him as he is older. I think he is okay, so I will take him back."
After so many things, Soshiyang had a deeper experience of the so-called "arrangement of fate". They had been flying in the sky for so long and passed through so many settlements, but in the end it was this primitive killing of more than a hundred people. attracted his attention.
Or maybe it was this boy who attracted his attention. To use the word Gu Terra to describe it, perhaps this is called - fate.
Since we are destined, we don’t need to care too much about the other person’s age. Andal just nodded to this.
Subsequently, Soshyan took a translator that had burned the Low Gothic language of Naisen III from the guard on the side, and hung it in front of his mouth, which made him look like the lower half of Zhang's face wore a metal mask.
"What's your name?"
The angel spoke, but Licas was stunned.
In fact, he is not surprised when angels speak something he cannot understand. After all, how can a mortal understand the language of heaven? But when the other party made a gentle male voice, he was a little surprised.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Soshyan asked patiently again.
“What’s your name?”
"I"
Ricas paused, and finally mustered up the courage to answer:
"My name is Ricas."
Then he raised his head slightly My arms were sore.
“This is my teacher, the devout chanter Giuseppe! He has strictly abided by the Sun Sutra throughout his life, and he is also the wisest person in the city-state!”
Soshyan nodded.
“You are a priest?”
“Priest? I. I am a chanter.”
“Then why did he die?”
Ricas opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. He felt scared. Did the angel come to judge him?
"You are his disciple and should protect him. Now this chanter has died at the hands of barbarians. Ricas, don't you have anything to say?"
"I"
Likas hesitated for a long time without saying anything, and finally just uttered one sentence.
“Can the teacher’s soul return to heaven?”
Soshiyang then asked meaningfully:
"Then do you remember what he did?"
"Of course!"
Ricas immediately told the teacher's story like a bamboo tube pouring beans, teaching the children to write, When the black storm came, he directed the city-state how to resist disasters, carved tens of thousands of stone tablets, established the city-state's most important library, and acted as a mediator when many families had conflicts and conflicts due to interests, marriages and other issues, so that everyone could Always maintain a relatively united state and so on.
After listening, Soshyan nodded.
“Working hard, not greedy for enjoyment, working hard to spread and protect the fire of civilization is a great achievement, and his soul must have returned to the throne.”
"Throne."
Ricas was a little confused.
"Is it heaven?"
"Yes."
Now Licas was a little at a loss. The other party said that the teacher's soul had ascended to heaven. What do you want to do next?
Besides, the huge angel is still staring at me
