Chapter 321: Devil (Part 1)

The morning light is like a painting.

Caesar opened his eyes slightly, the eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and slowly lifted with a dry feeling. So in his eyes, he saw a blur of light and shadow. After his eyes gradually focused, a pair of oil paintings hanging on the wall expressing the joy of the autumn harvest were reflected in Caesar's eyes. He turned to other places in a daze, his neck turned like a rusty machine with difficulty.

He saw candlesticks hanging from the ceiling, wallpaper that had peeled off in places, two tungsten lamps mounted on the wall, a mirror. And, myself in the mirror with pale lips. Caesar found himself lying on the bed. He looked down at his chest, and there was only a piece of sterile gauze on his abdomen. He gently lifted the gauze, and the wound stabbed by Baku had healed, leaving a sunken scar.

"I'm still alive..." Caesar lay down, this was his first thought.

The second thought was: "Where is this?"

"Yes, tell Master Allen, I'll go in a while, first let me see how our big man is doing today..." The door was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in. He suddenly saw Caesar, and said happily: "Are you awake? God bless, hurry up, go and inform Master Allen, the big man is awake!"

Caesar had no idea what God was, nor who this man was. But it was obvious that Allen saved himself. Sure enough, not long after, Allen, dressed in a dress, walked into the room. Father Miro withdrew, leaving the room to them.

Allen nodded and said, "You finally woke up, Caesar. You have been in a coma for almost a month."

"I've been asleep for so long?" Caesar asked in surprise.

"Your wound was infected. Although you survived in the end, the virus seems to have affected your nervous system." Allen pointed to his head and said, "The doctor said you may never wake up, but I know, you Definitely not going to sleep like this."

Caesar seemed to think of something, his chest heaved, and he said excitedly: "I have to go back."

"No, no, no, you are still weak, lie down quickly." Allen pushed him back to the bed: "Who hurt you, Caesar? That night, Baku said that you were killed by the army of Storm City..."

"Baku." Caesar smiled bitterly: "The man who used to be my brother has changed, my friend. He was covered by anger, and now there is only an angry, vengeful soul in Baku's body. That's what he did to me!"

"What did Baku do?" Allen didn't seem to have much reaction, he asked, "Why?"

"I don't know, but he mentioned releasing demons from the graves of our ancestors.

Maybe, killing me was part of his plan. "

"Grave of ancestors? Devil?" Allen frowned, "What's going on here?"

Caesar shook his head and said: "The people of Suer always thought that there was a treasure in the Aspen Mountains, but we know that there is no so-called treasure in that mountain. There is a demon imprisoned. We Baimeng have lived in the mountain for generations. , just to guard the demon and make sure it cannot leave. Otherwise, it will destroy everything."

"Demon? Caesar, is the demon you are talking about a creature from the legend?" Allen was a little unbelievable, and he believed it was some kind of metaphor.

At this time the door opened, and Father Miro reminded: "Master Allen, you should go to the temple, the wedding is about to begin."

"Wedding?" Caesar looked at Allen in surprise.

Allen shook his head and smiled: "It's a friend's wedding, it's very important. I have to be there, you rest first, and we'll talk about it when I come back."

Today is the day of Edward and Nilu's wedding, and the wedding will be held at the temple in the city of Sur. The belief in this world has nothing to do with Christ, and the objects of gods believed in are different in different places. Like the Balegon Empire, people generally believe in Sabis, the god of war. There is a Temple of the God of War in the city of Sur, and now, in a room of the temple, Nilu is looking at herself in the mirror.

She, who was still a little green, had already been dressed by the maid, and she was just short of combing her long brown hair. Nilu clenched her little hands tightly, there was some anger in her eyes, but more helplessness. When she knew that her father used her marriage as a business, Nilu was very angry. But what's the use of being angry? In fact, she also knows that many women like her need to trade their marriages.

It's just that she didn't expect that her father would become the city lord overnight. Unexpectedly, Ethan married her to an outsider.

She didn't even know who that so-called Edward was?

At this time, someone walked in. Nilu saw that it was a handsome boy who was about the same age as her. His sea-blue eyes shone like blue jewels in the sunlight coming in from the window. Nilu watched him walking towards her, took the comb from the maid, and then combed her hair gently.

"I'm Edward, the beautiful Miss Nilu." Edward said softly.

Nilu's body trembled slightly.

Edward combed her hair earnestly: "I know, Miss Nilu doesn't even know who I am, and I also understand the harm this political marriage has brought to you. But please believe me, no matter what, I will Take good care of you. I won't let you suffer even the slightest bit of grievance, so Miss Nilu, please rest assured and give yourself to me."

He lowered his body slightly, and kissed Nilu's cheek lightly. Looking up into the mirror, she said, "Look, you are so charming. I feel very happy to have a wife like you."

Nilu's long hair was coiled up on her head with dexterity, and Edward took a crown-style pin beside her to fix her hair before exiting with a smile. Nilu felt her heart beating violently, she suddenly thought, it seems that this husband is not too bad. At least, he is gentle and handsome.

only……

Nilu frowned slightly. When he looked in the mirror just now, his eyes seemed to turn from sea blue to golden?

The girl shook her head, thinking that she must be delusional.

Outside the room, Edward sighed softly: "Take it as my compensation."

In the main hall of the temple, the invited guests had already arrived, and there were no empty seats in the hall, and some people even had to stand. On the stage, Ethan stretched out his hands and made the crowd quiet down. He said: "Dear guests, today I want to announce two important events. The first one is naturally the marriage of the little girl Nilu and Edward. Edward is He is a young and capable man, I am very relieved to hand Nilu over to him."

The people below were whispering, and when they received the news that Nilu and Edward were married, people naturally associated Ethan with Allen. With a rich imagination, he had already vaguely guessed that the death of Baron York must have something to do with these two people. But they only dared to speculate in private. After all, it was legal for Ethan to inherit York's property in name. If someone questioned, the first one to jump out would not be Ethan, but the constitutional executive officer of the empire.

"The second thing is to take this opportunity to announce to everyone that due to Mr. Allen's great contribution to the city of Sur, I am honored to invite him to join our chamber of commerce and assume the important position of chairman of the chamber of commerce. Believe Under Mr. Allen's leadership, our Sur City economy will grow by leaps and bounds."

Hearing the news, Xiao En below smiled wryly, but he didn't dare to stand up and object. The automatic loom provided by Allen has earned him a good reputation in the city and among the handicraft workshops. Now everyone, including Sean, is counting on him to provide some more advanced textile technologies, which will greatly increase the output and quality of textiles.

Naturally, such a person deserves to be the chairman of the chamber of commerce.

Ethan watched with satisfaction as the guests below cheered and applauded the two major events he announced. As for the other meanings in some people's eyes, he automatically ignored them.

Today is a very important day for many people. This is true for Edward, so is Alan, and even Baku is no exception.

When the wedding of the lord's daughter was being held in the God of War Temple in Suer City, Baku was standing on the edge of a cave far away in the Aspen Mountains. On both sides of the cave, the bones of wild animals were buried in the hollowed out caves. , which makes the cave look very gloomy. There is a faint fire in the cave, and by the light of the fire, it can be seen that the passage in the cave slopes downward. From time to time, a gloomy wind blows from the cave, and the sound of the wind is like the whisper of a devil in hell.

Behind Baku, King Kong and several Baimeng leaders were present. Today Baku washed off all the paint on his face and restored his truest self. He was wearing only a grass skirt, and nothing else.

"Have you thought about it? Baku. Once you enter, there is no room for regret." King Kong reminded.

Baku grinned and said, "I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I want to go in, King Kong. I will get the power of the devil, and then flatten the city of Sur to avenge Caesar!"

King Kong nodded, took a few steps back and said, "May the spirits of your ancestors bless you."

Without hesitation, Baku drilled into the cave, which will lead to the depths of the tombs of the ancestors of the Baimeng people. At the same time, the blood of the devil is also sealed there. The demons that have been passed down from generation to generation in Baimeng's population are actually the blood of demons. Obtaining the blood of the devil is equivalent to obtaining the power of the devil. Just this, only a very few people know. And the Baimeng people who knew it were unwilling to use the blood of the devil.

Because at the same time as getting the blood of the devil, that person will also become a devil. No one wants to become a demon, but Baku is an exception. This man, whose heart was burned with anger, was willing to go straight to hell in exchange for the power of revenge. Perhaps on that night two years ago, when his wife and child died in front of his eyes, this man had already turned into a demon.

A demon born for revenge!

Baku walked into the cave, and the road under his feet began to become rough. The road surface began to have sharp edges, and when the foot stepped on it, the edges and corners of the stone immediately scratched the skin. Gradually, a bloody footprint appeared on the ground. And there will be many, many such footprints.
