Chapter 500 Rebirth From the Ashes: A Trio's Journey (Two Updates Today)

Three days later, Vito and his team received a reply letter, agreeing to meet on a planet called "Korayer". Although Vito always complained about who picked this crappy name that he could never pronounce correctly, they still set off quickly.

Vito, Petronilla and Sarah quietly left the expedition fleet on the Skyhawk. Taking advantage of the chaos and busyness of Guilliman's arrival, no one noticed that they suddenly disappeared. The three of them took a silver shuttle and made a short-distance jump to this beautiful planet.

When the shuttle landed, Vito knew that Waldo's vision was very accurate again. He liked it here.

There are endless golden fields here, with grape vines climbing on high trellises, and windmills lined up on the hills in the distance turning in the sun, driving the millstones below to deliver the pressed grains.

Women sat by the windmills collecting and sifting grains, while children played around in the fields. Dogs followed them and played with them, sometimes blocking the children's way, while they would run in the other direction with laughter.

Surrounded by high mountains, the tidal sea rose and fell under the towering cliffs, and the sea breeze brought coolness and saltiness. In the distant bay, tall sail cargo ships, inland barges and fishermen's fishing boats kept coming and going, bringing goods for sale in the market.

And this warm village is located between the coast and the mountains. A stream flows through the village. Vito walked through the street. He wore a hood and a black woolen coat with velvet edges.

The Phoenix Sword and weapons were hidden under the robe, and his face was also hidden under the hood. Although he felt that no one would recognize him on this marginal planet, he still made some appropriate preparations.

Especially Sarah, she walked beside Vito, holding Vito's hand for a while. She seemed to be very curious about everything around her, approaching each store to carefully look at the goods inside, chatting with the boss, or smiling at the people under the eaves on both sides.

You can't tell at all that she is a god with the power to destroy everything, but just a lady who came out of the mansion for the first time, and she was dressed like the daughter of a rich family.

Like Vito, Sarah wore a slightly loose blue skirt, with her slender legs sticking out from the bottom, wrapped in a pair of white lace socks, matched with a pair of leather boots, making her look like a nun.

This is really ridiculous, Vito thought to himself, she? Nun? Which god do you believe in? Herself?

But Sarah was obviously enjoying it. She hid her hair in the nun's headscarf, but her face still attracted a lot of attention. Vito told her to be low-key, and she did so, but it was obviously useless.

At first, people occasionally approached Sarah, which made Vito very distressed. After she quietly held his hand, the number of people approaching her gradually decreased, and they seemed less conspicuous.

Sarah looked at Vito with a mischievous smile. Vito knew what she was cunning about, but he did not refuse. He let her hold his hand, and their skins were tightly pressed together.

This was the first time in so many years that Vito saw her smile so happily. It was not the kind of greedy smile that devoured the soul, nor the evil smile when torturing others, but a real smile, like a young girl.

She pulled him across the street, shuttled between shops and streets, and insisted on buying a flower in front of a flower shop. Vito didn't resist her and bought it for her, and received the blessing of the old woman who bought the flower.

"I wish you a long life together, good lady and good gentleman."

"I also wish you good health, good woman." Sarah responded with a smile, she put the flower on the headscarf on her head, and then pulled Vito to move forward.

They walked through the bustling market, just like a young couple going out on a sunny afternoon. For a moment, Vito seemed to forget his identity as the Supreme Marshal, his mission, and the war and darkness in the starry sky.

He looked at the white hands and the back of Sarah in front of him, as if there were only these in the world, a dream, a beautiful dream.

They left the main street of the village and came outside. The sun shone warmly on Vito's face. He looked up at the sun hanging high above his head, which was emitting light.

Vito looked around and soon found Petronilla who had been separated from them before. She had never been too far away from them. At this moment, she was squatting in front of an eagle statue observing something.

Vito walked over holding Sarah's hand. The latter looked at the eagle curiously, with a smile on her face that could melt all sadness, beautiful and moving.

Vito also looked at the eagle statue. It should have been red in the past, but the erosion of time and sea breeze has gradually faded it, and finally turned grayish white, with only some sporadic past colors still on its wings.

The eagle's eyes stared at him, as if it came alive for a moment and said something to him. It said that the past was long gone, and now only some old immortals are still holding on, taking off their colors and forgetting the past.

Their names, their experiences, and all the past have long disappeared in the wind, leaving only a shell that still exists, holding on for something.

"What is this?" Sarah asked before Vito, and Petronilla looked at the symbol painted on the eagle base with paint, and put her finger on it thoughtfully.

"Mark, let's go over there and follow the other eagle statues." Petronilla said and stood up. She looked into the distance, and Vito also saw a new eagle statue there, which was on the hill in front of him.

"Come on, follow." Pedrónilla said and walked towards the statue. Sarah looked there and then turned back and smiled at Vito, who looked at her as if she had traveled through time and space, and then held her hand. Followed.

The group of three people crossed the grass and soon arrived at the hill on the other side, where they found the eagle statue. Petronila leaned down and quickly found the marking symbol at the same location.

She stood up without saying anything and looked at the next statue in the distance, then leaned in. Vito and Sarah followed her, not far nor close, as if they were taking a walk, strolling and enjoying the warm afternoon sunshine. With warmth and time.

Pedroneira found one statue after another, and then found the next one by looking at the direction of the eagle's head. They walked through the breeze-swept grass, passed the stone fence beside the farmland, and crossed a white stone bridge. Got here.

The last eagle statue squats here, looking at the mountain in front. It is very unique, as if it were two swords stuck in the mountain, one higher and one lower, with a concave opening in the middle, as if it leads to another world. 's door.

"Mountain climbing? If I sweat, my clothes will be ruined." Sarah pouted, but she can't sweat, not even a drop of sweat, just like Vito himself, but she really doesn't like it. Climbing mountains, because Lily doesn’t like it either.

She always said that climbing mountains would wrinkle her clothes, damage her boots, and the treetops would snag her skirts. Although Vito would also ask her, why are you more active than me every time we go out to fight? Your clothes are stained, your skirt is snagging, and your boots are damaged, and yet you rush faster than anyone else and are in a good mood?

Lilith always said, "That's different. Climbing a mountain is just tiring, and being out of breath is not interesting at all. But after fighting, I can look at their broken faces, lying on the ground with their faces covered in blood, and taste them." It’s much more interesting to cry out in pain.”

Thinking of this, Vito trembled and glanced at Sarah, who looked exactly like Lilith from the side. Did she think so too, right? Vito didn't want to clean up a mess today.

Sarah seemed to notice. She turned around and smiled in the warm sunshine. Vito looked at him and smiled as hard as he did Lilith.

"Don't kill anyone, okay? Be obedient."

"Okay, I'll listen to whatever you say." She smiled, and her dishonest hand climbed up to Vito's chest, fiddling with the buttons with her fingertips, and her other hand was on the button of the skirt. She moved closer to Vito , with an innocent smile.

"Listen to everything."

"You two, I don't want to disturb you, but if you want to, it's best to wait until we go down the mountain at night before continuing." Pedronela interrupted Sarah, which made her mumble, looking very regretful.

"At night? It takes so long to climb?" She complained, and her eyes couldn't help but look at the mountain paths in the mountains. They were composed of stone steps, attached to the mountain and climbing to higher places.

"If you are dragging it down, then go up the mountain. It's getting late." Pedronilla said and took the lead on the mountain path, while Sarah behind her smiled provocatively and put one hand on her waist.

"Do you want to come together tonight? We can find a big bed, three of us together. I have always mentioned this to Lily, but she always refuses greedily. Sister, I am much more generous than her."

Vito raised his eyebrows and looked at Sarah blankly, with an expression that said "You're fucking kidding me." Pedrone turned around, looked at her and shook her head, "No, I Not interested in that."

"That's a shame. Maybe you should convince Lily to come here for once? Trust me, the two of us would be great together." Sarah winked at Vito, who had a weird look on his face.

"Thanks for the invitation, but I can't."

"Hey, why are you so boring? Have you been with Lily for too long? Come on, or the girl will push her again." Sarah stood on the stone steps and stretched out her hand. Vito hesitated for a moment and held her hand. Went up the mountain trail with her.

They climbed up along the time-honored mountain path. Although the years have left many marks here, these stairs are still strong and stable. They have been smoothed by the trampling of pedestrians for countless years, and even some Slippery.

But it didn't matter to any of them. The three of them climbed up the mountain path, crossed the tree-lined path, crossed the creek that occasionally appeared to cut off the road, and finally after Vito passed between two towering hilly protrusions, he We came to a fence gate in the mountains.

It was embedded in two low walls, cutting off the mountain path. The door was locked. Pedronela stood in front of the door with her hands on her hips and held her forehead speechlessly, "Damn it, they forgot to open the door."

"Shall we crawl over?" Vito stepped forward and asked. Pedronela glanced at the low wall on one side. "That's all we can do. This door is the entrance to the local sanctuary. If it is destroyed, it will .”

Before Pedrone could finish her words, the door was slammed open, the lock broke and hit the ground, and the door whined feebly and swayed between the walls.

Vito and Pedronela both looked over and looked at Sarah who raised her hands. She looked at the strange expressions on their faces and said, "What? You still want me to climb over the wall? My socks will get torn. , or do you like hole-in-the-wall clothing?”

"Ah, do you remember what I told you before?"

"Don't kill anyone? I did comply with the request, didn't I?"

"You broke the door of someone else's holy place. After that, when someone comes up to see you, I'm afraid you will have to break your promise." Vito said speechlessly. These two sisters really have the same talent in causing trouble.

Sarah shrugged without guilt and glanced at the broken door, "I'm sorry then, don't worry, I will take care of the rest."

"By killing everyone who brings trouble? No, I don't work as a judge anymore. I don't want to kill everyone." Vito said helplessly, and Pedronela also leaned forward appropriately and looked at him. Shandao behind the door lowered his head.

"Go before trouble comes to your door, and then we'll get down the mountain as quickly as possible before we're discovered."

Vito nodded, and then walked up the mountain path. Sarah wanted to follow but was stopped by Pedrone. She shook her head at Vito, "I see you alone, and I won't go up. I will take you with me." Let her wait here for your return."

"Oh? Take me? In fact, I don't exclude girls~" "Shut up and try to figure out if we can fix this door with me." "Then you have to find him. I remember that kid's name is - Duo "Huh?" "You are not older than him, so don't call him a child." "Oh? It's not necessarily so soon."

Vito listened to the sound of the two bickering gradually disappearing, and he continued up the mountain path. He walked behind a waterfall, and walked on the ground wet with water to the end of the mountain path.

It was an ancient mountain temple. The entire building was embedded deep into the mountain and integrated with the entire mountain. Only the windows and stone pillar reliefs dug into the cliff could tell that it was not a natural creation of the mountain, but man-made. excavated.

But the most eye-catching thing is its huge door. It is a tall crimson door. The door handle is made of bronze and carved into the shape of a lion. The door is open, as if it is inviting itself.

Vito did not refuse the invitation. He walked up, stepped on the last floor and slipped into the narrow crack of the door. On both sides of this dark and tall corridor, towering ancient statues overlooked the visitors, their faces already It's so worn that it's hard to see, but it's still mysterious and intimidating.

Sunlight shone from the open-air square at the end. Vito walked into the deserted courtyard and looked at a tall tree growing between the central stagnant water. Its crown was as tall as a dome, climbing up into the sky and blocking out the sun. , as if going to heaven.

Vito walked up and came under the tree. The surrounding pools were a pool of pitch-black stagnant water. There were no ripples on the water. Vito leaned down and touched the water with his fingers, and a ripple appeared on the water. And in that ripple In the reflection, he also saw the burly figure appearing above him.

He stood on the treetop, jumped down with a spear in hand, and pointed the head of the spear at the back of Vito's head and stabbed him quickly.
