Chapter 432 Another Demon
"Why do they like to build cells under the castle so much?" Elodie frowned.
"This is not a cell for criminals, but a private prison for those in power. Those imprisoned here do not need to go through trial. The lord has the final say whether they live or die." Coco Moqi said indifferently, "Qianlin Isn’t there a place like this in the castle? It’s a rare thing that the Paradise Cult didn’t use it.”
After removing their stealth, the prisoners who heard the noise all moved closer to the railings, waving their hands towards Chaoyang and others, begging desperately——
"Give me something to eat, sir!"
"I'm starving to death..."
"Please let me see the Duke, I am innocent!"
Coco Moqi kept his eyes open and followed the black smoke to the deepest cage. Under the light of the torch, Chaoyang saw that there were about eight or nine people crammed into this cage, including men, women, young people and old people. . Each of them was half-clothed and emaciated. They had obviously been imprisoned here for some time.
Everyone was stunned when they found the three people appearing in front of the cage, and several women shrank inside in fear.
But when the old man saw clearly the flowing black hair of Coco Moqi, a look of disbelief suddenly appeared on his face, "You...are you the goddess of magic?"
"They all belong to the Guinness family..." She whispered first, then turned to everyone and asked, "Where is little Guinness?"
"Here, here!"
Everyone got out of the way and carried an unconscious man to the cage. Although the other person was the child of Lalotte Guinness, he was at least thirty years old. His wrist was wrapped in cloth, and obvious blood stains could be seen on it.
"He's still alive... he probably just passed out due to weakness." The angel judged.
Coco Moqi was visibly relieved, which was very different from the let-it-take-it-takes attitude she had shown before, "I heard his prayer, so I came here. Why were you put in a private prison? Lalotte Guinness How did he die?"
"Lord Lalotte was murdered!" Everyone replied in a flurry, "Lord God, please make the decision for us!"
"The head of the family has not committed any fault. He is just unwilling to serve the new gods and wants the lord to persuade you to return to Star Reaching City!"
"Yes... but the new god has bewitched the lords and others... Duke Rosia forces everyone to follow the new god. This has never happened before!"
"No, I was implicated! I am willing to believe in the new gods, but Lord Lalotte was stabbed to death on the street, and the Duke arrested everyone with the surname Guinness. This is not fair at all!"
Although these people's answers were very confusing, Chaoyang still figured out what was going on - in the past six months, a new god appeared in Star Reaching City, and this new god not only quickly consolidated his belief territory, It also excludes followers of other gods. Lalotte Guinness was unwilling to accept such a result. He believed that polytheism was an ancient tradition and hoped that the goddess of magic could return to the mountains. Therefore, he was killed and his whole family was implicated.
It can be seen from the attitude of these Guinness blood relatives that even if they belong to the same family, there are not many people who are willing to maintain their belief in magic.
Of course, Chaoyang can also understand these people. After all, gods are not pure spiritual comfort, but protectors who can bring real benefits to the world. From the moment Coco Moqi thinks her duty is over, her followers are destined to face such a choice.
It is undoubtedly this new god who really crosses the line.
Coco Moqi stretched out his hand to touch the iron lock, and the cell door opened with a sound, "Now the whole city has become a battlefield. After you escape, find a remote path to leave Star Reaching City, and first go to the town in the valley to take shelter. This way You are in such a bad state that you cannot travel long distances. When your health recovers, I will guide you to Qianlin Castle."
After speaking, she clapped her hands and applied the invisibility spell to everyone.
Everyone was shocked to find that their bodies had become transparent!
"Thank you! Lord God!" The old man knelt down and kowtowed to Coco Moqi.
The latter replied coldly, "Remember, Yu saved you because of little Guinness's prayers, so you'd better make sure he is safe and sound along the way. If something goes wrong with him, Yu will definitely come to you to settle the account later!" "
"Yes, yes! We will definitely do it!" The elder of the Guinness family shuddered and responded quickly.
"Lord God, we are also innocent!"
"Please take us away together!" The other people in the cage shouted excitedly when they saw that the strange visitor was not the executioner.
"I went and released them all," Elodie said. "Such a dirty place used for lynchings shouldn't exist at all."
After saying that, she summoned the wind-cutting sword and split all the door locks in one breath!
"Let's go to a safe place!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
The prisoners who could still move immediately rushed out of the prison and ran towards the exit.
Snap, snap, snap...
Suddenly there was applause from the direction of the exit.
I saw one person slowly walking into the prison against the flow of people, clapping as he walked.
The moment he saw this person clearly, Chaoyang once again felt a strong tremor in his heart - he suddenly understood that this emotion had nothing to do with likes and dislikes, and was purely derived from the resonance of ability. This was what he had been looking for for a long time but had always Target with nothing to show for it: another awakened demon.
Elodie also instantly knew who the person was, "Devil?"
If it were her in the past, she would have drawn her sword the moment she sensed the devil's aura, but after spending nearly a year with Chaoyang, she has learned to trust her eyes.
"I was wondering who broke into the hall and went straight to the dungeon without doing anything else. I didn't expect to see an angel in this world." The man touched his chest with his right hand, raised his left hand back, leaned over and performed a standard noble salute, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Charlie, and I'm from the wasteland. What about you, compatriot?"
When he said this, his eyes fell on Chaoyang.
Chaoyang was also looking at him at this moment. In theory, demons and angels belong to the category of humans. Although they have awakened their abilities, they are not much different from ordinary people in other aspects. However, the demon in front of him is different. He has sharp horns on his head, fleshy wings on his back, and long and pointed fingers. He is just like the demon template image in myths and legends...
So rustic... Chaoyang couldn't help but complain.
He really couldn't regard such a guy as his own kind. Is it random what he will become after awakening? But he had seen so many awakened angels, and none of them had become inhuman.
"What did you do to the people here?" Elodie asked, "Those soldiers have very little vitality left!"
"But they realized their wishes and became great people that they could never achieve in their lifetime by ordinary means." Charlie spread his hands, "Do you want to be a hero for a moment, or live your whole life as a coward? Maybe this process is very short and the price is not cheap, but it is their own choice. You should understand that the premise of signing the contract is voluntary on both sides, and I did not force them to do so. Since the contract has been signed, what's the problem with me collecting vitality? Isn't this their value?"
"Sure enough, people like you are the exception." The angel glanced at Chaoyang, and the determination in her blue pupils was clearly discernible. As she spoke, a tornado-like gust of wind had already condensed in her hands!
