Chapter 1431 Appearance

Outside the outpost of Aia, the cleaning of the battlefield is proceeding in an orderly manner.

And, out of caution, Nelson sent three reconnaissance cavalry squads to investigate the direction of Navia City with the Aia outpost as the center.

When sunset came, the battlefield was thoroughly cleaned up.

Some remaining monsters can't do any damage to the entire armored knight team.

On the contrary, Nelson found many things in the stomachs of these monsters.

Mostly brooches, rings, necklaces.

This made the soldiers cleaning the battlefield even more angry.

As long as you are not a fool, you will know how these things appear, not to mention, many accessories still carry some of the 'master's mark'.

"What a poor man."

"May you sleep in peace."

Nelson took off a ring from a little finger bone, threw the ring into a bag beside him, and solemnly put the little finger bone into a small box beside him.

The head of the post could not confirm who the amputated phalanx came from.

But he could at least let him sleep.

Similar small boxes were moved back to the outpost by the soldiers. As the only priest in the outpost, Aitelina temporarily took over these small boxes.

After a prayer for the dead, they will be buried in the cemetery on the side of the post.

"The choice of life and death is ruthless, but fate can be changed..."

"May you receive the compensation you deserve in the land of the dead and the kingdom of God."

"May you rest in peace."

Unlike the funeral of the believers in the Temple of Thorns, this time the identity of the deceased could not be determined. Etelina chose the eulogy of the Lady of Thorns in front of everyone.

She may have her own ambitions and ideas, but when these deceased people prayed, Etelina was meticulous.

Everyone has the same respect for the deceased.

Especially when she thought that there might be people with familiar fingertips among the dead, Etelina became more serious, took out the 'holy water' she carried with her, dipped her fingertips lightly, and flicked them one by one. Not a single one of these little boxes is missing.

After doing all this, Etelina began to pray a second time.

After three times, Etelina signaled the soldiers to move the boxes again.

Just like when they were being moved, two soldiers used a wooden board as a support, put the boxes on it one by one, and then, like carrying a stretcher, carried the boxes away.

Etelina followed and left.

When buried in the cemetery, she also needs to preside over some necessary ceremonies.

As the group left, no one noticed that there were some changes on the grass where the box had been placed.

The sun went down completely.

Darkness covers the land.

Torches and braziers appeared in Aiya Post.

The night watch soldiers climbed onto the city wall one by one.

They looked around with wide eyes.

The soldiers and knights who had no mission quickly fell asleep. They had to replenish enough physical strength for tomorrow's duty and possible battles.

Quickly, Aiya Post fell into silence.

Except for the crackling of flames and the footsteps of patrolling soldiers, there were only the crackling sounds of small nocturnal animals. On the grass where the box had been placed, a small dark green snake that was only as thick as an adult man's little finger came out. , the color of its scales perfectly blended into the surrounding environment, and its extraordinary intelligence allowed it to quickly determine its target: the single house of the outpost leader.

This little snake approached the target covertly and lightly, and easily got in through the gaps in the doors and windows.

Then……

It saw the sleeping 'Kin Ran'.

No further.

He just raised his upper body, his eyes were as cold as snakes.

It slowly opened its mouth, and the core it swallowed suddenly became longer, like a rope that instantly wrapped around 'Kin Ran'.

And when it retracted its core, the bound 'Kin Ran' shrank together with the core.

Then it closed its mouth and began to return just as it had come.

However, this time, its target was no longer the grassland, but outside Aiya Post.

When it was far enough away from the Ayya outpost, its speed began to increase sharply, almost galloping, heading towards a dense forest in the direction of Navia City.

After ten minutes, it entered the dense forest.

A figure had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw the snake, he bent down and saluted.

"Your Majesty the Messenger, please come with me."

As the other party spoke, he walked deeper into the forest, followed closely by the tiny dark green snake.

Turning around, when the dark green snake let out an impatient hiss, the other party stopped, raised his hand and tapped rhythmically several times towards a tall tree beside him.

Boom, boom, boom!

The hollow sound echoed in the tree trunk, and the next moment——

Click!

With the unique sound of the machine spring, the ground on one side of the big tree slowly sank, and after a moment, a downward secret passage was revealed.

"please."

The other party bowed and saluted again.

The small dark green snake snaked its body directly down the stairs.

There are torches on the walls on both sides of the secret passage.

The hall at the end was even more brightly lit, and an old man in a robe was waiting there quietly.

"You're as punctual as you've been told."

The old man in robe couldn't help but smile when he saw the dark green snake.

"I hope you will keep your promise as rumored."

The small dark green snake no longer made a snake-like hissing, but instead spoke human words. However, the other party's voice was very strange.

Not only did it have an extremely long tone, but it also had a vagueness that seemed like mumbling.

But it was enough for the old man in front of me to hear clearly.

"certainly."

The old man nodded firmly.

"for you!"

The dark green snake opened its mouth, and the sleepy 'Kin Ran' was spat out and fell to the ground. The thick liquid on his body looked a bit disgusting, but the old man ignored it at all and just walked away. In front of Kieran, he wiped away the thick liquid and began to look at Kieran.

After confirming that it was correct, the old man showed a smile.

"very good."

"Didn't you encounter the slightest resistance?"

After nodding, the old man asked back out of habit.

"No."

"He has already reached the end of his strength. How much strength do you think he will have left after making such a sword strike?"

"When he faced those fools during the day, he acted even more aggressively."

"It proves more and more that he is strong on the outside but capable on the inside."

"but……"

"He is more interesting than I thought. That kind of power...if I hadn't promised you, I would have studied it carefully."

The dark green little snake stared at the sleeping 'Kin Ran' and said with interest.

"He's certainly special."

"Otherwise... I wouldn't have chosen him."

The old man said vaguely, and then he took out a cloth bag from his arms and threw it to the dark green snake. The latter opened his mouth and swallowed the cloth bag.

Without saying goodbye, the little dark green snake snaked its body towards the secret passage.

After confirming that the dark green snake had left, the old man sneered.

"I hope you can hold on a little longer."

After saying that, the other party looked at 'Kin Ran' again.

"And you?"

"It's really a suitable candidate!"

The other party showed a smile, picked up 'Kin Ran' and walked towards the secret room behind him.

There, there is a huge stone altar.
