Chapter 1058 I Don’t Want to Regret It Anymore

In a tavern at the Grand Duke Island Pier.

Joe fidgeted with the wine glass in his hand, looking at the entrance from time to time.

He had never felt that time was so difficult.

Regret, fear, pain, and confusion emerged in his heart in turn, but he could do nothing except continue to wait.

It wasn't until a hooded man walked into the tavern and sat down next to Joe that he relaxed slightly, but what followed was even greater anxiety and uneasiness.

"How...is she doing now?"

Joe stared at the other person's lips, afraid of seeing the worst answer——

"Still alive."

The other party's answer instantly relieved him.

"But Ms. Farina is not living a good life," the visitor took off his hood and said with a worried look, "The bishop seems to want to get something from her, and people torture her every day - sometimes standing in the hall You can hear her screams, if this continues, sooner or later she will not be able to bear it."

This was all expected. Joe repeatedly told himself that since their attack on the castle failed, everyone who was still alive would inevitably suffer cruel revenge, and Farina, as the leader, would not be an exception. What's more, the traitor hopes to get the whereabouts of the holy book from her, so he will naturally use all means to force her to speak.

Just stay alive.

Even though he said this in his heart, his fingers dug deeply into his palm. He didn't even dare to think about what would happen if he couldn't save Falina. Maybe death would be a luxury by then...

Damn it! Why did he agree to her, Qiao thought with great regret, what attracted the enemy's attention so that the God's Punishment Army could break through from the side; what made the war go unfavorably and retreat first, he might as well join everyone and die directly in the castle, that would at least Being able to be with Mianxia at the last moment of his life.

"Sir..." The man hesitated for a moment, "Do you know what the bishop wants? If you have it, you might as well give it to him. In this way, at least Lady Farina will not--"

He is not a bishop, he is a traitor! Qiao gritted his teeth, "The thing he covets is not in my hands. It has long since fallen with the Hermes Cathedral."

When Hermes was mentioned, there was an obvious look of sadness on the other person's face. "May the gods protect us..." he murmured softly.

How ironic it is, Qiao thought. When the old and new holy cities were still there, he was already a leader among the younger generation of the Judgment Army. His associates were all outstanding people in the army, and ordinary believers would not be taken seriously at all. As a result, at this stage, the bishop rebelled and the priest betrayed him. The only person he could rely on was such an ordinary believer. Moreover, the other party's feelings for the church are actually deeper than those of many senior officials. If not, he would not have taken the initiative to find him when he was on the verge of collapse.

He was deeply dissatisfied with Lorenzo for abandoning his identity as a bishop and claiming to be the Count of the Grand Duke Island, but he did not dare to resist because of his humble status. On the night of the battle, he happened to catch a glimpse of the attacker's appearance, and later left an extra person while wandering near the castle. Thoughts - this is the whole process of how the two met.

Joe didn't even have to worry that this was a trick set up by Lorenzo. He had nothing now and it wasn't worth the effort to deal with it. If this person was sent by a traitor, after several contacts, he should have realized that he was worthless and chosen to get rid of him.

It's a pity that this person used to be an ordinary believer, but now he is just a low-level servant. Apart from giving him extremely limited information, he can't do anything.

"I have to go back." After a long silence, the man put on his hood. "If you leave the castle for too long, the steward will become suspicious. The next chance to come out will be in three days. Shall we still meet here?"

"Ah..." Qiao came out of his trance, "Just stay here. If things change, I will let someone send you a message."

"I understand," he paused slightly, "Sir, please cheer up - if anyone can save Lady Farina, it is you."

me? No...I can't do anything.

My mind was filled with darkness, with no hope or hope at all. No matter how much I pray to the gods, I get no response.

Joe nodded numbly.

"By the way," the other party took two steps and then turned around, "something happened in the castle recently. One of the bishop's cronies, Priest Hagrid, led a pair of men to the southwest. I heard The groom said that they seem to want to cross the Cage Mountain border. I think this news might... be helpful to you."

Probably because the comforting meaning of these words was too obvious, even his voice became quieter after he said it.

Indeed, it is normal for lords to send people to other territories. Even if Congshan's location is slightly special, it has nothing to do with Grand Duke Island. As long as Lorenzo didn't take away the God's Punishment Warrior, breaking into the dungeon to rescue Farina would be nothing more than a dream.

"Well, thanks."

"In that case, sir..." He stroked his chest and bowed slightly, "That's all I can do for you."

Cage Mountain... I have heard this word a lot recently. Joe poured the ale in the cup into his mouth, letting the bitterness fill his mouth, but the next moment, he froze in place.

Wait—Cage Mountain?

Like a flash of lightning piercing the darkness, an idea suddenly came to Joe's mind.

A possible turning point!

…

Returning to the temporary cabin outside the city, Joe cast his eyes on a black book on the table.

That was the "will" left by the last acting Pope Tucker Thor before he jumped off the city wall.

It is not a holy book that records the church's inheritance - the manufacturing method of the God's Punishment Army, but the instructions of a dying senior. In the book, he tells the story of humans and devils and the origin of the war between gods. This shocking secret stunned everyone, and they suddenly understood the reason why Tucker decided to let everyone evacuate Hermes.

It's all over.

Let go of your burdens and live the rest of your life in peace.

It was probably because of this self-sacrifice that Farina was unwilling to sit back and watch the church disappear - Qiao knew in her heart that in addition to her feelings for Hermes, she also had a lingering thought: that was Watching Roland Wimbledon and his Kingdom of Graycastle fall into hell before the church.

But now, his turning point came with the king who destroyed the church.

Joe didn't expect Graycastle to lend a helping hand.

It is almost impossible to get those people to take the initiative to save the remnants of the church.

Only by pointing the finger at the traitors on Grand Duke Island can he have a chance of survival.

The news that Graycastle troops suddenly appeared in the Cage Mountain area did not attract his attention. There was too much noise in the tavern, and the church would no longer have anything to do with Graycastle. It was not until the believer's words suddenly inspired him - —Lorenzo used to be responsible for collecting materials looted from various places in Wolf Heart, and the legendary Cage Mountain treasure was not a secret. It was reported as a special seizure at that time. As for whether it had been transported to Hermes, Joe didn't know, but this was not important at all. What was important was whether the King of Graycastle was also looking for the same thing.

The wolf-hearted nobles would be timid, but Roland would not.

No one could withstand the onslaught of that terrible army.

As long as he can use the opponent's hand to get rid of the traitor, he will have a chance to rescue Farina in the melee.

Even if things go wrong, it would be better for Farina to be caught by them than to suffer endless torture.

Joe took a deep breath.

If the outcome really goes that far, he will no longer hide in the dark.

At least in the last moment of his life, he could be by her side.

Because...he has always admired her...

From the day she joined the Judgment Army and met Falina.

This time, he didn't want to regret it anymore.
