Chapter 20(1/2)
Maybe she heard my whisper, so she looked at me but didn't speak, but a very majestic voice came from my mind.
"Hex, my new name, that old name is no longer in use."
"Yes, Lord Hex..."
I bowed my head to her very solemnly and replied with my thoughts, but the goddess did not want to continue speaking, but pushed Erica who was bent over and retching.
"Don't push! If you don't want me to spit my lunch on you..."
Faced with Erica's inexplicable accusation, Master Hex remained expressionless, as if he had never heard it at all. But Erica looked up and saw me and hurriedly got up and rushed over to hug me. Of course I He was not polite and hugged her tightly as well.
"You just...disappeared suddenly...it really scared me to death..."
I suddenly felt a little choked up, and I couldn't finish my words because of my excitement, but I didn't mind, because I was very happy now, and I couldn't suppress or want to control this excitement. In my case, I felt a little choked up. The moment I was hugged by her, I couldn't even control my tears. I could only let the tears flow from my eyes.
"Hey, am I back? I was also shocked at the time. I didn't expect that it was Severna who dragged me away."
"Severna? Lord Severna just teleported you away?"
"Yeah, I'm surprised too, so don't cry. If you cry again, I might disappear again."
It was still such a familiar conversation, and this bastard was making fun of me again. I pinched her belly angrily. Normally she would have run away quickly, and then continued with a lot of inexplicable witticisms to lighten the atmosphere. , but this time it seemed different. I squeezed her hard for a long time and she didn't leave my side. Instead, she hugged her tighter and tighter.
"Doesn't it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"Why?"
"I would rather die in your arms than leave."
I immediately let go of my hand and hugged Erica tightly again. There are no suitable words to describe my current mood. The two of us hugged each other in silence for a while until Lord Hex spoke. .
"Erica, you can go home and continue, but now we still have things to do."
Hearing what Lord Hex said, I quickly let go of my hands, and Erica reluctantly left my arms.
"I still have some things to do, so I'll go home first."
"whats the matter?"
"Sevena asked me to go home to place something, so I have to follow this goddess back home first, because Sevena is waiting for me somewhere, so I can't delay. You wait here, I'll do it later Just come back. Oh, by the way, let Chris handle the matter about Liz and Polly, okay?"
When I heard her say this, I suddenly trembled in my heart, because I remembered Liz's kidnapping again. Although I had similar thoughts just now, I didn't immediately agree to Erica's proposal, and even my eyes were a little wandering. I dare not look directly into her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"fine……"
"No! That's not what you said in your eyes. Did something happen to Liz and the others?"
"...Liz...she was kidnapped."
"What?!"
"I..." I don't know how to explain it, because although I don't want to care about it, I still feel a little guilty, so I don't know how to answer it.
"Are they those thieves? Haven't they been caught yet? They escaped?"
"Um……"
"Then let's go and rescue them. Do you know where the thieves escaped?"
"I don't know... Liz was the only one who was kidnapped. According to the information obtained from the interrogation of the group of assassins in the morning, it was done by people from the Thieves Guild to which Liz belonged. There are some problems with the president of that union, but there are still some problems.
I know his purpose of having Liz kidnapped back, and Chris doesn’t know the specific address of the Thieves Guild, so I originally planned to see if there was anyone alive on your side... But we went there before coming here.
Polly's previous residence, where the two surviving thieves died of their injuries before they could speak."
"Damn! What a failure..."
"Don't worry, we can investigate this matter slowly..."
"I don't think I have enough time to investigate. As you can see, the monster I just killed was transformed by one of the thieves. He turned into this ghost after eating some strange things. Do you think
Will Liz be safe after being kidnapped back to that union?"
"I know that it is a flesh puppet, a twisted and mutated monster, but we..."
"One code is the same. I really don't want to deal with these troublesome things, but that doesn't mean I won't go back to rescue Liz. After all, I didn't plan to give up when she was kidnapped. Believe me, the feeling of regret is quite uncomfortable."
"Then what should we do?"
"This..." Erica scratched her head and looked around. Then she looked at Hex who was standing aside and suddenly paid attention: "I have an idea, but I have to go home first. You go first."
Keep an eye on Polly and wait for me here. Ah, I almost forgot, give this to Polly."
After Erica finished speaking, she took out a golden gadget from her pocket and gave it to me, and then took out an old money bag from her trouser pocket.
"This is their mother's legacy and Liz and Nancy's nest egg..."
Looking at Erica, I can roughly understand how valuable these two things are. This is not just a material value, but a memory and commemoration of the family.
I solemnly held these two things with both hands and nodded seriously. Then Erica walked to Hex and said, "Let's go back first."
Lord Hex nodded and then waved his hand and took Erica with some kind of teleportation spell before disappearing in front of my eyes. I looked at the afterglow of the teleportation spell in front of me and sighed. After carefully putting away these two things,
Ignoring the shocked stares around me, I patted the dust on my knees and walked towards the Baron's mansion without looking back.
"Ms. Argyle, please wait a moment."
Behind me, Miss Russell ran over anxiously. At first, she seemed to want to hold my hand and ask me to stop, but when she just stretched out her hand, she stopped in mid-air, looking very entangled.
"What's the matter? Miss Russell?"
"Please...please ask...that...that just now..."
"Please don't worry, Lord Hex is just passing by. I will go back to the mansion first and won't disturb you anymore."
I didn't explain too much to her. After all, we didn't know each other very well. I just told her briefly out of politeness, because even if I had to explain, I could only explain it to Chris.
And I am also very worried about Polly now. She should wake up after such a long time, but I am a little afraid to meet her because I did not protect the sisters. This guilt is really uncomfortable.
I quickly left the street, but before I had gone far, I heard the sound of horse hooves behind me, and Russell and several guards rode over.
"Ms. Argyle, please mount your horse, we will escort you back." Her expression seemed very firm, no matter what thoughts she was in, but I believed her last words.
We rode horses through the streets of the city, and the guards in front opened the way, and we quickly arrived at the door of the mansion without any hindrance. However, the sights we saw along the way were quite unexpected, as if Heike had just
The scope of Sir Si's coercion is greater than I imagined. Judging from the confused faces and various confusions on the faces of passers-by on the street, this coercion leaked from the goddess unconsciously has almost enveloped the entire city of Wilsk.
Just an inadvertent pressure, for the gods, is as loose and ordinary as an ordinary breath, but for mortals, it is almost as if the world is shattered. For example, the dragon Shadir also has a godhead.
, so when it is dormant, it will unconsciously release a large amount of dragon power to cover most of the Selida Forest. Although Shadir and Lord Hex are simply incomparable, its dragon power can still shock the world.
The vast majority of mortals make them surrender and fear. If it were Lord Hex, I am afraid that no one in most of the continent would be close to him.
And what I am more worried about now is not the impact of coercion on mortals, but the event of Lord Hex coming here, because there were nearly a hundred people nearby just now, and they all really watched.
When it comes to the image of Lord Hex, even if they don’t know the identity of Lord Hex, I think when the rumors spread, people who are interested will definitely deduce a more correct answer through many incident clues, because this is
This is the first time in the past few hundred years that many people have witnessed the arrival of a god. I really don’t know what unexpected impact this event will have on mortal society in the future.
After I followed Russell into the mansion, I found a large number of guards patrolling back and forth. Everyone was fully armed and patrolling every corner of the house with concentration, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
But this has nothing to do with me, and I don’t care. In short, I just followed the others towards Chris’s office on the second floor. When I arrived at the door of the office, I found Miles Knight, who was supposed to be on vacation, nervously wearing armor.
ran from the other side. When he saw me, he hurriedly bowed to me with apology.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Argyle, my subordinates..."
"Don't worry, I won't accept your apology, and you also made a mistake about the person you need to apologize to."
After his apology was rejected by me, he did not show any anger. On the contrary, he felt more ashamed. Then he did not continue speaking, but solemnly bowed to me again, and then declined.
I opened the door and walked into the office with us. After entering the room, I found that not only Chris, but also William and several seemingly noble figures were fidgeting nervously inside. At the same time, there were a large number of relatives in the room.
Wei and several magicians, and the expressions of all of them were almost the same.
"Diana...what happened just now?"
After Chris saw me coming in, she rushed directly in front of me and threw herself into my arms, regardless of the obstruction of other guards. I saw a trace of fear in her eyes. The fear of the unknown seemed to have been enveloped by the wave just now.
The coercion of the whole city frightened her so much that even William, the reincarnated person, kept wiping the cold sweat on his face with a handkerchief.
"Don't worry, it was just a god passing by. It was the pressure of the god, and it was not a scary thing."
I stroked Chris's face again and again and helped her straighten her messy bangs, then took her hand and sat on an empty seat nearby.
"God? Is it the goddess Severna?"
Chris finally calmed down after being comforted by me for a while, and then her question attracted the attention of other people in the room, and everyone stood up and leaned over.
"It's not Lord Severna, it's her subordinate god Hex."
"Hex? What does this god control?"
"In charge? No, the gods do not have any specific functions. But to put it bluntly, according to what is described in the records, Lord Hex is the god who is in charge of the security of the entire world and prevents the invasion of evil from the outside world."
As soon as I finished speaking, others took a breath, and some even panicked. Although Chris didn't speak, Russell, Miles and others immediately took control of the situation.
It soon became quiet, and everyone was listening to the ensuing conversation between the two of us.
"This god has descended here...isn't it..."
