Chapter 35 Chapter Thirty-Fifth The Tragedy of Lilis

The Giant Bird Clan carrying Gen is cautious.He reached the skies over Lillis and circled to check the town before letting go. "Did you see that camping tent?" Looking up at the bright red feathers on his chest from the seat placed on the Giant Bird Clan, Geng replied loudly, "Go to that white tent? I saw it." There were several pentagonal tents—the largest in the center, with flags on its pointed roof.If Gen's memory is correct, the building next to the tent is Lilis' security post. "The camping tent of the Shudinger Knights at that time." The giant bird family said, "The flag of the Shudinger Knights was planted on the public hall in Lilis Town. Judging from the takeover of a facility of that scale, it is not a patrol team stationed , but a whole squadron. The situation is more serious than previously thought."

The giant bird family flapped its giant wings and glided above the camping tent.The knights in silver armor were in groups of three or four. "Director Pam of the police station asked the Schudinger Knights to dispatch while he issued the martial law order. That flag..." The giant bird glided above the big tent, identifying the flag fluttering in the wind. "It's the symbol of the Saijik team. Captain Saijik should have been born in Lilis. He and Director Pam are good friends." It's not just a bad premonition anymore.He felt that a dark intuition had seized his heart.

"So, the Shudinger Knights here are on the side of Director Pam?" "It should be. Hey, look!" The giant bird family flew over the Bricklayer Avenue.It flies through the sky carefully, not seeing the details.But that alone is enough.The aftermath of a major storm on Bricklayers Avenue.The building was destroyed, showing signs of charred fire.There was no one to be seen, one piece of dusty broken furniture or soiled laundry.From here, it is also impossible to figure out the location of Fan Lun's studio.Could it also be destroyed and caught fire? This kind of tragedy—it seems to be the trace of a huge and indescribable object that went berserk and wreaked havoc.Yes, that's it.A deformed object named "Evil and Hate" with infinite strength and shape change rushed here, chewed up everything here, and spit it away.

"Evil and Hate" is always hungry.Just like a glutton who is hungry, he grabs and chews the table full of things, and escapes in a hurry. "It's such a violent commotion. The police station in Lilis can't suppress it. It must have been caused by the rapid entry of the Schudinger Knights." I am speechless. Where are the people who live on Bricklayer Avenue?It would be nice if he could escape...if he was arrested.Where is it closed? When we met before, Fan Lun said that the head of Boao's police station, Selka, was also an undisclosed racist.At present, the reason why the Shudinger Knights are only composed of the Anka tribe is also on the head of Srka.

Also, the majesty of the Sistina Church, the gleaming bell on the top of the tower.Centered on the church, the old god religion, which buried racial discrimination deep in its heart, once slept and eaten the entire town of Lilis little by little.No, it still is.Gen recalled that when he first visited the church, he knew nothing about it, but he was disgusted by the huge shadow of the church covering the whole town.This feeling is even stronger now from a bird's eye view from above.The entire church is bathed in sunlight.It monopolizes the bright sunshine that falls from the sky.The shadow covered Bricklayer Avenue, and it seemed that it was greedily trying to bring a larger and larger area, and even the entire town, into its shadow.It looks like the shadow of the church is acquired, with a will of its own, and it wants to engulf the town.

This Lillis, for those who do not approve of racial discrimination, may be the most dangerous place in the Southern Continent.Even if it is a highland guard itself. There is no such gate as Gashala in Lillis Town.However, at the moment, there are people who look like Schudinger knights or highland guards standing at various intersections, performing security tasks, especially the entrance of the town road that Gen walked through when he first came here, there are temporary strongholds and thick timber erection Become a roadblock, blocking the way. "Kid Highland Guard, what should we do?"

"Please land in the woods beside the town. I will find a way to sneak into the town." "Okay. You have to be careful." The giant bird family flew away, and stayed motionless in the bushes of the trees until it was confirmed that there was no movement around them.During this period, his mind was running at high speed, but he still had no idea how to sneak into the town. Hiding the sword of the brave, changing clothes, and pretending to be an Anka kid living in Lilis Town, can you pass that roadblock?He said bluntly that he went out to do errands, and now he is back?No, no, you will be suspected immediately.How could the rich Anka tribe in the town send their precious children out to run errands under the martial law?How about pretending to be lost?Say you can't find a home?Uncle Knight, can you take me home?

When I was worrying, I suddenly felt a slight heat in my waist.At first glance, it was the sword of the brave that was shining.Gen hurriedly put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and took out the sword to look at it. ——Gen, Gen. The spirit living in the two precious jades spoke to Gen. ——Remember you used the magic sword in Swamp of Sadness? ——Our powers are united, and you have a new magic sword. —Come on, raise your sword. Henhen was surprised, and raised his eyes to eye level.At this time, the wrist moved by itself, and the tip of the sword drew marks in the air: right, left, then up and down, and after the cross was drawn, the face was reflected on the shiny knife.

At this moment, Heng's body became light and fluffy.what happened?Is this the new magic sword?Use the Magic Sword in the Swamp of Sorrows to fire magic light projectiles.What about this time? Gen found that his body was invisible.The sword of the brave is also gone. Become transparent! The elf spoke up. ——Gen, this is the power of the new magic sword.As long as you draw your mark, no one can see your appearance.Because the sacred barrier hides your appearance. However, this enchantment will take away your strength and cannot be maintained for a long time.Once there is a hiding place, leave the barrier immediately.If you try, you'll die.

"Thank you, I've now understood!" Gen plucked up his courage: Alright, let's go to Erza first! The guard post in Lilis was packed.There are both Highlanders and Shudinger Knights.In the inner room, Director Pam was sitting around the table with a Schudinger knight who had taken off his helmet, chatting enthusiastically.Judging from the knight's armor coat of arms and the attitudes of the surrounding knights, it seems that this person is Captain Saijik. Erza couldn't be seen, so he might be in his own home.Gen once hid in the warehouse of the police station to undo the barrier. After a short rest, he began to follow his vague memory to find Director Pam's house.The elf's advice was right. When the Stealth Barrier becomes invisible, it's like climbing a mountain, and you will immediately gasp and feel uncomfortable.I also feel my heart beating faster than usual.In order to maintain itself, the enchantment absorbed energy from Heng's body.

Those who walked in Lilis Town, whether they were the Highland Guards or the Shudinger Knights, were all from the Anka tribe.Although some shops are open for business, most of the doors are closed, and some are nailed to the inside and cannot enter.However, compared with the tragic situation on Bricklayer Avenue, the central area of ​​the town is still stable.There was a queue of people in front of the store that opened.Passing by, I heard people talking about rationing.As external transportation was blocked, food and daily necessities became scarce, and a rationing system began to be implemented. "Hey, although it's really troublesome as long as it lasts until the hunt for other races is over." The Anka women were whining to each other.There was a chill down his back.To search other types means to seal off the whole town and search out all the non-Anka people inside.What do you plan to do after finding out? After finally finding Director Pam's house, when he saw Elza's listless figure appearing in front of the window on the second floor, he opened and closed his mouth like a goldfish lacking in oxygen.Fortunately, when I entered the gate, there was no one on the first floor of the house.Gen hurriedly untied the barrier, and rested on the chair beside him.He was breathing hard, shrugging his shoulders.Feeling dizzy, he quickly stabilized the back of the chair, which made the chair make a "click" sound. There were light footsteps upstairs. "Who?" It was Erza's voice.She walks down the stairs.Gen hugged the back of the chair and turned around. "Oh...is that you?" The black eyeballs in my memory are still beautiful.However, the originally slender Erza became even more emaciated. "Mr. Fan Lun...where is it?" After uttering those words, Wataru rolled off the chair.He sat on the ground, just panting for breath. Erza let Gen hide in his room, and immediately brought cold water.Only now did Gen regain his breath. After Gen explained the situation of Longdi, Elza nodded repeatedly. "Oh. Tony can make the dragon flute. I'm afraid it must be him." But... Erza's eyes became moist, and he lowered his head. "He was arrested. He resisted when Father ordered the Highlanders to arrest the Bricklayers Avenue for rioting." "Then, where was he taken?" "In the Sistine Chapel." "In that kind of place? Not in prison?" Put the arrested in the church and force them to convert to the old gods? "Under the Sistina Church, there is a large prison. It was a prison that my father and the bishop discussed to build. It is said that it is to detain heretics. It is best to use Sistina's power." Bishop Damon of the Sistina Church, we met during the last visit.The head is very bald, and the eyes are cold and creepy. "Low in the church... are you sure?" "Oh... But, I don't know how to go down. I can't see the stairs in the basement just from the inside of the church." Go and see there is always a way.Take a deep breath.The beating of the heart is still a little abnormal, as if drunk.Also, the knees were shaking. "Your face is very green. Let me give you another glass of water. You'd better have something to eat." Gen shook his head: "Thank you. However, just drink some water. There is no time." Erza brought water and cold towels.Gen tried to wipe off the sweat on his face, and thanked her from the bottom of his heart. "Miss Elza, are you all right? This town—it's horrible." Hearing what Wataru said, Erza turned his tearful eyes out of the window.She then lightly went to the window and drew down the curtains. "'Hanela'—that is, to rebuild the 'Great Light Frontier', a victim was needed...it was widely known, and it became a matter of time." Wataru nodded: "There was commotion in other towns as well. Especially among the poor and the prisoners there was panic. The poor were very afraid. They thought they had nothing else to dedicate to the goddess but their lives, so they were chosen as human pillars." The possibility of killing. The prisoner suspects that the federal government is trying to dedicate himself to the goddess so that everyone else will be safe." "Oh……" "Taking advantage of this panic, hitherto accumulated grievances exploded, and in some places there were riots or peasant revolts." Erza still drew the curtains, she turned her head and frowned: "Yesterday my father said that there was a riot in the mine in Aliquida." "Yes, that's right. The Shudinger Knights were also sent over there." "Really?" Elza lowered her head. "The riots here manifested as persecution of non-Anka people, right? That kind of soil existed in the town." Erza's faint voice came from the curtains: "The selection column, there is only one needed in this big world. There is no need to make such a fuss, right? I didn't expect it to become a confrontation between Anka and non-Anka people." .” Ever silent.He didn't think that if it was just for one person, there would be no commotion.Especially for Gen himself, the possibility of being selected is one in two. "Tony and I are more worried about..." Elza turned around, "No, even Father and Bishop Damon were surprised—the Old God Cult has such a profound influence on the hearts of the Anka people in the town. You also know that the Old God Cult teachings?" It is the old gods who created the fantasy world.When the world was created, the old god created the Anka tribe in his own image and placed them on the ground.However, the goddess deceived the old god's fantasy world.In order to create obstacles to the prosperity of the Anka tribe, the goddess imitated herself and created other races.so.When the old god destroys the goddess and resurrects as the creator god of the fantasy world, the other races created by the goddess will also perish, and the fantasy world will become the paradise of the Anka tribe... Erza nodded slowly, and a teardrop fell, she continued: "From this teaching, every thousand years to rebuild the 'Great Light Boundary' to select pillars and the like, is regarded as the goddess persecuting Ann. The lies of the Anka people. They say that the Anka people are chosen as pillars for sure. Even if only one person pillar is selected, this person is an important talent for the Anka people. The Ankas are chosen as human pillars—this is what the goddess intends." Gen sneered: "You can really talk nonsense." "Really?" Erza looked at Gen sadly and said, "Although you are an excellent highland guard, you are still a child. No matter how absurd, for those who believe in it, this wine is real. For those who believe According to the people of the Old God Sect, the one the goddess wants to choose as the human pillar is the savior of the Anka tribe, so we must stop it no matter what." It is said that Bishop Damon convened a large number of Anka believers in the Sistina Church for worship and evangelism.The bishop said—the so-called "Hanela" is not a moment to rearrange the "Great Light Boundary", it is a lie of the goddess.For those who know the real situation, the so-called "Hanela" is the moment when the old god speaks to the illusion world through the evil star in the north, exposes the lies of the goddess, and destroys the dirty race that believes in the goddess. "He said that for the elder believers, this is a sign of the time to declare the holy war, to destroy the goddess and take back the fantasy world..." Erza's words turned into a cold breath that caressed Gen's cheek, and a chill passed through his heart. "Korurud Camp Observatory has not issued such an opinion." "Yes, but it doesn't matter to those who are obsessed with Bishop Damon." Erza shook his head violently, his black hair was disheveled. "Tony was arrested because of this. He said the same thing as you. He wanted to protect other persecuted races. Tony alone was no match for them. There was really no way. His studio was also burned..." Frustrated, Wataru felt his body was heavy, and he was about to fall into the chair.So, even if Fan Lun can be rescued, he can't be a dragon flute anymore? But in any case, it cannot be ignored.Wataru put the empty cup by his feet and stood up. "What are you going to do?" Erza asked. "Go and see the Sistina Church." "What can you do alone?" "I don't know. I want to find out, though. There are so many people being held in dungeons without investigation and interrogation, and I can't just ignore them. When I find out the facts, find work done by the police in other towns, maybe will be useful." Erza was finally able to grab the curtain and stand up.Words escaped from her quivering lips: "Tony may be dead. Father told me so. He said you'll never see that guy again." Gen raised his face, looked at Erza firmly and said, "It's too early to give up." Tears welled up in Erza's eyes, and he covered his eyes with one hand. "If you give up, there will be no one waiting for Fan Lun. Hold on, Miss Elza." "But……" "Also, I need the dragon flute no matter what, and I must ask Mr. Fan Lun to do it. So I want to rescue him. It must be done." "What can a child like you do?" Gen drew the sword of the brave and drew a mark.Then disappeared in front of Erza with a "snap". When Gen untied the barrier and appeared, Elza's pitch-black eyes widened, his face was pale, and he almost fainted. "Just, what happened just now?" "A little magic. It will help me, though." Because Erza's body was shaking, Wat rushed forward to support her.Erza was like Wataru just now, his body shaking violently, shrugging his shoulders and panting. "You, who are you...?" Gen didn't answer.From Erza's flickering bright eyes, it is not difficult to see her inner self-questioning situation. "Please, please wait, please, please wait." Because she was too flustered, Erza bumped against the furniture and the door all the way, she went to the bed and reached into a small drawer, took out something, hugged it to her chest, and returned to Gen's side.It is a portable wooden box. "You take this." Gen took it over and looked at the small wooden box.There is a cloth belt attached to the wooden box, which seems to be used to tie the small wooden box around the waist. "Open it and have a look." Gen opened the wooden box.There are tools in it. "This is Tony's toolbox. He uses it for small crafts. He always carries it with him, and it was deposited with me before the fire. Even if the studio on Brickmaker's Avenue is not available, it can be used anywhere. Work. He said, it is as important as my life, please help me put it away." "Can I take it?" Erza nodded.Although the eyelids are still moist, but the gaze is firm. "I believe in you, save Tony and make the dragon flute. Please tell him: I will wait for him until we meet. Please." "Understood." Gen tied the wooden box tightly around his waist, "I will accept it. I will definitely, definitely hand it over to Mr. Fan Lun and ask him to make a dragon flute."
