The Amber Sword

Scene 225 Seti’s Revenge

When the battle at Cold Dew Villa came to an end, uneasiness and chaos were spreading and gathering under the night of Rushta. The December Square was crowded with people. The statue of Duke Durot stood in the center of the square, sitting astride his earth dragon. On top of the 'Lone Fire', he is holding a long sword, and the long sword 'Cuckoo' is pointing straight ahead.

Under the indifferent gaze of the stone statue of the demon-slaying knight, all the careerists and conspirators under the night of Rushta were ready to take action, as if a grand performance was opening, just waiting for the curtain to slowly open.

As if to comment on this, someone in the distance was loudly preaching. The harsh voice was like two files, and it was like the sharp sound of metal ringing in the ears:

"The noble master will definitely return to the world to save and cleanse everything from this filth!"

In the Poem of Blue, in the heroic epic, the angel Akroma holding the holy sword killed the evil god Frederick, and then died together with the Legion of Twilight. After its fall, its blood flowed into a lake. Twelve centuries later, it was Someone retrieved one of her shields from the lake, and Geert, the Lord of Fire, founded the city after it. In the Cruz language, Rushta represents a symbol of holiness, justice and victory.

The Secret Order members claimed that the empire was cruel and cruel, and Akroma would definitely return to this land after a thousand years to punish the evil Queen.

This rumor was baseless, but it was widely circulated under the Queen's rule. People seemed to be hypnotized by themselves and believed it.

Seti was mixed in the crowd, and the hot breath came from all directions, mixed with the stench of sweat and feces. Her hair was wet and stuck tightly to her pale cheeks, but the girl was unaware of it and only blinked. Looking at the center of the square.

among the crowd. The secret cultists wearing airtight thick cloth robes were gathered in a perfect circle. On the ground of the square in the center of their center, scarlet patterns crisscrossed the ground. The blood taken from the lambs was smeared on the dark stones. Like thorns growing out of hell, quietly. It exudes an aura that seems like a bloody storm is coming.

But people seemed unaware that a buzzing sound echoed above the square, and the believers were chanting words and praising a certain mysterious name.

"Aroma!"

"Aroma!"

A strong and depressing atmosphere filled the air, and the crowd was in a commotion, and then someone started shouting as if they were going crazy. This fanatical atmosphere quickly spread. The crowd seemed to be possessed. Everyone raised their arms, sweating and shouting hoarse. Seti quickly separated from Al in the crowd, but she didn't realize it at all. She also raised her hands, and a blazing ring of fire seemed to be reflected in the depths of her blue pupils.

Amidst the noise like the tide,

She seemed to have found a peaceful and comfortable place. She saw the archangel holding the holy sword stepping out of the white light. The angel waved the sword in the direction of the empire's palace, and the palace suddenly fell into a sea of ​​fire. Ti seemed to see the evil empire sinking and burning under the sword, and the nobles let out sharp screams. Her Majesty the Queen was also crying and wailing in the flames.

She saw her brother who died in the war in the south, saw that abominable war, and saw all the people who caused this pain - those in power that she hated. Even the people who were watching indifferently and numbly were all reduced to ashes in the flames.

When the whole world turned into a sea of ​​fire, she couldn't help but laugh while standing in the flames.

"That's it, burn them to death!"

A voice echoed in her mind.

"Burn those damn rulers!"

"Burn those fat-headed nobles to death!"

"Burn those infidels!"

"Burn this whole, evil and dirty world!"

But the illusion soon passed, and Seti saw someone pulling her from behind. "Al?" She regained her consciousness and looked back. But he found that the person standing behind him was a secret cultist.

The opponent's whole body was covered under a thick black cloth, leaving only one eye shining. There was a cold light shining inside.

For a moment, Seti almost thought she saw a venomous snake - she subconsciously took a step back.

"The Bishop is looking for you."

"The bishop is looking for me?" Seti was stunned for a moment, then remembered what Al had said to her in the afternoon. She looked around, but found no sign of her lover: "Where's Al?"

"You will find him after the ceremony is over." The cultist replied coldly.

Seti did not dare to say anything. She knew the consequences of disobeying the bishop's will. She nodded silently and followed the believer out of the crowd.

The two walked into a shop near the square one after another - it looked like a bakery. The outline of an oven could still be vaguely seen in the dark room, but several tables were overturned. The ground was in a mess. Behind the overturned table stood several secret cultists in the same clothes. The bishop stood among them.

The bishop is an old man who looks quite kind. His wrinkled face seems to be filled with a kind light. His sparse white hair is gathered on his somewhat bald forehead, and there are a few age spots like dirt hidden under the shadow.

Seeing Sethi coming in, he nodded gently: "Good evening, Sethi."

"Good evening, Lord Bishop." Sethi looked a little uneasy.

"Don't be nervous, my child. I came to you to tell you something."

"Your Excellency, Bishop?"

"We just got the news about this matter not long ago, because it is related to you. As a believer in God, I think you have the right to know." The old man narrowed his eyes, his blue-gray eyes flashing with unknown meaning.

Seti was stunned for a moment, still not understanding what could be related to her, and could actually alarm the Bishop.

"Do you want to hear it?"

She nodded.

"It's about your brother's murderer."

"What!?" The girl's eyes widened like a frightened cat, and the hair on her body stood on end. Her brother was recruited into the army because of the war launched by the empire against the south, and died in a foreign land. The priests of the secret society told her that the culprits of all this were the nobles who rashly launched the war because of greed. She has also been Think of those people as murderers. But now the bishop told her a different story.

"There is no hidden secret here, my child, but you should know that your brother died at the hands of the Eruin people. Do you know who the Eruin people were who directed that war?"

Seti was stunned for a moment, then shook her head slightly. Although she is not a country girl. But it was impossible to know much about the war that took place thousands of miles away outside the empire. In fact, she didn't even know where the war took place. She only knew that her brother died in that war.

"That man is the earl of the Kingdom of Eruin, and his fiefdom is in Tonigel."

"It's these greedy nobles again." Seti thought through gritted teeth.

The bishop sighed, and then continued: "My child, what I want to tell you is this. In the past few days, you have seen each other more than once."

"Wha...what?" Sethi was stunned.

"Those Eruin people live in your hotel, have you remembered?"

"It's...it's them."

The bishop nodded, confirming Sethi's guess. Then he looked at Seti silently. The girl seemed a little uneasy. Frowning, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"What are you thinking, my boy?"

"I-I don't know, Lord Bishop, what should I do?"

"If you want revenge, that's fine, my son, but it's dangerous for you..."

"I'm not afraid of danger, Your Excellency Bishop." Seti replied with a trembling voice: "I...but I don't know what to do..."

"Do you want revenge?" The bishop's blue-gray eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray.

Seti hesitated for a moment, but the image of her brother suddenly appeared in her heart, and she nodded firmly.

"But if something happens to you. Have you ever thought about your father on the sick bed, my child?" Bishop Chun Chun said seductively.

"Ah...Alka will help me take good care of my father..."

"Alka, I know this young man. He is your lover, right?"

Seti's face looked very gloomy, and she lowered her head. He nodded weakly.

The bishop's face was hidden in the shadows, with a faint smile on his lips.

"You want revenge. It won't work against Count Tonigel, my child." He spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, as if it contained magic power, bit by bit prying open the Pandora's demon in Seti's mind. Box: "But you can target the people around him, just like he killed your relatives..."

"And this Earl happens to have a fiancée with him..."

Seti didn't know how she got here from Rushta. She stumbled on the road for carriages. Not far away was the familiar woodland and the riverside scenery sparkling in the moonlight. Old Kent's Inn stood on the other side of the bridge, like a hazy black shadow in the night.

The sights on both sides of the road were familiar to her, but at this moment she felt extremely unfamiliar. It was like there were countless pairs of malicious eyes hidden in the forest. They stared at her unblinkingly in the gaps between the trees.

The sound of night owls chirping in the distance seems a bit ethereal and cooing, and occasionally the sound of flapping wings can be heard from the woods. It is the sound made by these winged creatures catching voles in the forest.

These sounds made her tremble, and she felt like a lonely soul wandering aimlessly in the wilderness.

The Old Kent Inn is getting closer and closer, and the outline of this wooden and stone building gradually emerges from the darkness. The signboard and window lattice, immersed in the darkness and silence, gradually fade away from the blurred color, and gradually become clearer in the moonlight.

But Seti walked slower and slower.

She tremblingly reached out to her arms, where there was a bottle. She held the bottle, and the cold touch of the ceramic made her heart skip a beat.

She gasped slightly as if she had her own destiny in her hands.

The bishop's words emerged from his confused mind.

"You have to find a way to make that woman drink this bottle of poison. You are a maid in a hotel. You can always make them submit. Old Kent is not in his hotel tonight. This is your best chance."

"See, it's not difficult or dangerous. Once you've had your revenge, the church members will rescue you."

I don’t know when it started, Seti’s upper and lower teeth were chattering and chattering.

She only felt that her mind was a mess. On one side was the guests staying at the Cat and Beard Hotel these days, and on the other was her brother who died in Eruin. Sometimes the image of Al could not help but pop up in her mind. , the young man looked at her with his unique mocking look: "You don't want to avenge your brother, Seti, what are you hesitating about?"

"But doing so will cause trouble for Uncle Kent."

"After tonight, the empire will cease to exist, and no one will embarrass old Kent."

"No, what about those Eruin people?"

"Be frank, Seti, you are afraid. Look at your pale face and trembling fingers. Where is your courage when you really face your enemy?"

"No, I just..."

The two voices mixed together in Sethi's mind, like two saws, giving her a severe headache. She wanted to stop and take a breath, but the two 'brethren' following her didn't give her this chance. They pushed her forward staggeringly and said to her:

"Go, Seti, don't let the bishop down, and don't let your brother down, we believe you can do it."

Seti didn't dare to look back. She instinctively felt that something terrible would happen to her if she hesitated even a little. The way the two looked at him reminded her of the wolf she had seen in Brukan when she was a child.

Cold and fierce.

She hesitated and came to the front door of the hotel. The door was closed, but she knew that old Kent usually put the key under the carpet in front of the door when leaving home. She trembled and bent down, wanting to fumble for the brass key, but at this moment, a slightly curious voice came from behind the door.

"Who's out there?"

The sound was light and rhythmic, full of jumping notes, as if its owner had put all his intense curiosity into it.

Seti froze. She recognized the voice. It was the business lady who was very talkative.
