"Joel?" she called softly, "Joel?"

Joel opened his eyes suddenly, the light coming from the window was white and warm, and the dust was flying by the window like light spots. Joel looked at the familiar ceiling. He turned his head and Alu was smiling at her. Hemi stood on tiptoe by the table, "Dear, it's time to have breakfast." "Dad, eat fried pork chops today! Get up quickly!" Hemi shouted to him.

Joel smiled, lifted the quilt on his body, stood up, he reached out to take off the coat hanging on the wall and draped it over his body, the cold in the north made him wake up. He walked towards the table, looked at the hearty food, hugged his wife's waist, and kissed her gently on her lips. Boiled eggs in wooden bowls on the table, a large bowl of oatmeal porridge, a bowl made of bread made of hollowed-out bread and three mugs of different sizes, filled with milk, and three pans of fried golden steaks, sprinkled with black pepper and thyme, which made Joel swallow. He hadn't eaten the food made by Elu for a long time, and Joel subconsciously thought of it.

"Hermi!" Joel heard someone calling his daughter's name outside. He frowned and looked out the window, but there was only a white light outside the window and nothing could be seen.

"Oh! Here comes!" Hemi responded, then trotted out of the room.

"Hermi? It's time for meals!" Alu said as if he was stern.

"Oh, mom, just a little while!" Hemi said, leaning into the door halfway and she ran out again.

"No, my dear." Alu followed Hemi with her hands crossed her chest. She suddenly turned her head and smiled at Joel, "No stealing food!"

Joel smiled and shook his head, then looked down at the food on the table.

No, this is not true...

Joel felt dizzy in his head. The boiled eggs in the wooden bowl turned into eyeballs, the oatmeal porridge turned into a sticky mixture of flesh and blood; the bread turned into a half-chin-free head, the empty eye sockets were looking at Joel, the tongue of the head spread on the table, and the milk in the cup turned into dark red blood; the pork chops on the plate disappeared, replaced by various bloody internal organs. The clean and tidy dining table suddenly turned into a bloody and terrifying slaughtering table.

Joel took two steps back and looked at the door where Ellu and Hemi left. "Elu?!" Joel shouted, "Hemi?"

Suddenly, Hemi's scream came from outside the door. Joel rushed over almost without any pause. Joel had just arrived outside the door and saw Elu's figure. "Dear? Where is Hemi?" Joel asked her in panic.

She turned her head and blood and tears lay down her cheeks. "Protect Hermi, Joel." As she said this, her face turned bright red, and then her whole body turned into a pool of blood like scattered sand. "No, no, no, no!!!" Joel rushed over, but only a scarlet red touch.

Before Joel could be sad, Hemi's scream came from outside the door. No, Hemi, no! Joel rushed out of the house, and the whole world suddenly fell into darkness. The sky was also pitch black at first, but now it was dyed red by the fire rising from the sky. The whole town was trapped in flames, something roared in the distance, and heat waves and smoke filled the whole world. Hemi knelt on the clearing ground in front, behind her was a burning city. She was holding the black sword called "Silence" and shivering before the catastrophe.

"Hermi!" Joel shouted and wanted to step forward, but as soon as he reached out his hand, he saw Mars jumping in his hand, his skin was ignited like charcoal, and the flames instantly swallowed Joel. He watched his daughter in front of him disappear into the fire, and he fell to the ground. In the flames, he could only wail.

...

When Joel opened his eyes, he was lying in the established room. The hp bar in the upper left of the field of vision only had a single digit value, and it had not recovered for a long time. He wanted to move his fingers, and the burning sensation began to spread from his fingertips, and finally spread to his whole body. Joel's skin seemed to be burning with fire. This feeling tortured his will and made him unable to recognize the sound of wailing in a low voice.

"Are you awake?" Anthony's voice came from the side, but Joel's neck could not move. He then realized that his body was wrapped in layers of bandages, like a mummy. "The doctor shook his head and left when he saw you. He said that he would definitely not survive if he burned it like this." Anthony paused, and he seemed to be sitting on the stool beside the bed. Joel could see his face from the corner of his eyes. "At this time, the player had long been sentenced to 'death', and he could only recreate the character. But you survived."

Joel didn't answer, he just listened quietly, and he felt the smell of smoke in his nose, and he could smell the burnt smell every time he breathed, and his lungs were filled with the coldness of the river. "Olaf told me something before he left," Anthony continued, "He said you... are special, and I think I understand what's going on."

"Although I don't understand how you got the identity of "Resurrection", seeing it with my own eyes really surprised me. Feiyu present thought you were using a cheat," Anthony seemed to smile, "I have told Feiyu not to tell this, and he agreed. But I don't know what will happen."

"If other players know that you have the identity of a resurrection person, you will be in big trouble. Almost everyone will come to you to get this 'plug-in' skill or something from you."

"Do you want to drink water?" Anthony asked.

Joel opened his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were about to crack, and his throat seemed to be burned by a soldering iron. "Where are them?" Joel could hardly hear this his own voice, rough and ugly, and it didn't look like an ordinary person's voice at all.

"Miss Simoken is going to rest. She has been here for two days and hasn't even closed her eyes."

Joel turned his head and felt a cracked pain on his neck. The muscles on Joel's face twitched, but the same pain caused the skin on his face to make the same pain. "Where is Hemi?" Joel's hoarse voice trembled.

Anthony didn't say anything, and Joel saw the "silence" placed beside his bed. "Where has Hemi been?" Joel's body began to tremble. He didn't know whether it was because of pain or anger. "Where has Hemi been?!" Joel almost roared, but his voice almost completely lost its voice.

"Don't be impulsive, man!" Anthony stood up and pressed Joel back to the bed, but when he touched his shoulder, Joel screamed, "Oh, sorry." Anthony sorted out his words, "I have asked my friends from the Iron Chain Knights to find him. A lot has happened in the past two days."

"What... is going on?" Joel asked weakly, feeling that he was almost speechless.

"What's going on..." Anthony scratched his head and sat back in his seat. "After we dragged you and Sister Simoken up from the river, the little girl was gone when she returned to the shore, leaving only the sword in place... Hey! Don't move, listen to me, don't be impulsive!" Anthony pressed Joel back again, "I've sent someone to find him, okay?" He paused, "I asked the guards who put out the fire at that time, most of them didn't notice it, but someone said..."

"What are you saying..." Joel's voice was hoarse and trembling, but it contained anger.

"She was taken away by the church people. She was a man in black, and should be from the church," Anthony touched his nose nervously. "At least the guard who told me said it was from the church, and I also sent someone to investigate."

Joel recalled the tomb guards in black clothes and armor that he saw when he accompanied Sister Simoken to church before. Thinking of this, Joel struggled to get up, and the wound on his body began to explode, but he gritted his teeth tightly and did not scream. "Hey! Don't do it randomly!" Anthony pressed him back, "Don't move around first, OK? I'll help you find that little girl, do you understand?"

"You... don't understand at all!" Joel said gritting his teeth, the burn almost made him faint.

"I don't understand! But I can find her! Do you understand?!" Anthony suddenly became angry, and he pointed at Joel's nose, "I lost your girl, and I will definitely bring her back to you! Do you understand?! So before that, you can recover from me here!"

"You let me stay here?!" Joel also wanted to shout back, but his voice only allowed him to growl hoarsely.

At this time the door opened and a man walked in directly. "Mr. Anthony, I've found it..." He paused, then looked at Joel on the bed, "Hey, brother, are you awake?" Feiyu pulled the corners of his mouth and walked over, "I thought you were dead. I couldn't believe that such injuries could survive without seeing them with my own eyes."

"What did you find?" Anthony asked, frowned and looked at Feiyu.

Feiyu smiled proudly, "That girl."

...

Ximoken was woken up by the sound next door. Did Mr. Kang Ting wake up? This was her first thought.

She wanted to get up from the bed, but she didn't even have the strength to push the quilt away. She obviously had no strength when she was rescued from the water, but after returning to the tavern, she was trying to help take care of Mr. Kang Ting... Ximoken looked at the ceiling half-sleeping, and the quarrel next door disappeared. Is Mr. Kang Ting awake? Ximoken thought again.

When the doctor came over, Ximoken was almost fainting and fell asleep. After seeing Mr. Kang Ting's appearance, he turned around and left. However, at Ximoken's request, a mercenary named Feiyu followed the doctor to his house and took some of the herbs needed by Ximoken.

Ximoken once learned to make ointments for burn treatment with the old nun. Although she hadn't made that ointment for a long time, she couldn't take care of so much at this moment. With the help of Mr. Anthony, Ximoken successfully prepared the ointment, applied medicine to Mr. Kang Ting's whole body, and wrapped it with bandages. Although I don't know if it's useful... Ximoken's heart was hanging.

Did Mr. Kang Ting wake up? When Ximoken was about to fall asleep, she was suddenly awakened by this question. She was so worried that she tried her best to push the quilt away. After applying the medicine, Mr. Kang Ting had been in a coma for two days. During this period, she had a fever and was still talking, but the only thing Ximoken could hear was "Elu" and "Hermi".

Ximogen stood up with difficulty while holding the edge of the bed. Her eyelids were very heavy, and she was almost about to fall asleep while standing, but she still shook her head and kept awake and walked towards the door. She pushed the door open and walked out. The door of Mr. Kangting's room was not closed. Ximogen rubbed his eyes and walked over. She looked at you carefully. Feiyu and Mr. Anthony were both here.

"...I don't believe her..." said a hoarse and low voice.

"Mr. Kang Ting?" Ximoken realized the owner of the voice. She covered her mouth and stopped her from making a sound.

"She brought those people to the tavern to find Hemi..."

Ximoken stood stiffly in place. No, Mr. Kang Ting, I didn't... Ximoken's body trembled slightly, and she just felt her nose start to feel sore.

"You can't say that. She stood up and wanted to protect that girl." Feiyu said.

"...No matter what...no, don't let her get involved in this matter."

Ximoken wanted to tell him, but she just took a two step back and then turned back to her room. It was so good that he woke up. Ximoken breathed a sigh of relief, but the moment she closed the door, tears flowed down her cheeks in a bad mood. It was my fault, Hemi disappeared again, it was all my fault... She squatted down against the door, if she could...

Ximoken hugged his legs and buried his face on his knees.

"As long as you bring that girl here, I will help you." The old monk said at that time, "Then what is your reply, child?"

"I refuse." Ximoken replied without hesitation, "Also, monk, I think I can no longer continue to serve the Holy Tree. I want to leave the church."

The old monk didn't say anything, but just stared at Qianmoken's face silently for a long time.

He promised Simoken and blessed her. But after she left, he immediately sent someone to follow her until he returned to the tavern, and then the men came out to take her away with Hermi.

The monk, like Sir Via in Cold Stone, both wanted to get the Saint, they just regarded Hermi as a tool or bargaining chip.

"I didn't betray you, Mr. Kangting..." Simoken whispered in a low voice, but no one responded to her. But no matter what, it was my fault that Hemi disappeared again...

In the quiet room, only Simoken's sob was sobbing.

...

"Can't you really fight for it?" Anthony asked in a tangled manner, "It will be much more convenient for us to have a nun who is helping inside."

"No," Joel's voice was very small, so Feiyu and Anthony tried not to make any sound when he was talking, "I said, I can't pull her into our affairs anymore."

"I agree," Feiyu nodded, "It's better to leave this kind of thing to the players themselves."

"Do you know what you are saying?" Anthony looked at Feiyu angrily, "We are discussing sneaking into the church and stealing someone out!"

Feiyu paused and suddenly remembered something, "So, do you have to tell our president about this? It would be much easier with the help of the guild?"

"Tell your guild to fight against the church directly? Barolwufu is not a fool, why did he do this?" Anthony shook his head, "And your guild has more important things now..."

"What's more important?" Feiyu frowned.

"Why do you ask so much?" Anthony glared at him, "This matter must be discussed for a long time." He stood up, "You can help take care of him now, don't let him do anything randomly. It is entirely possible if such a serious injury causes a second trauma and dies directly." After that, Anthony stood up.

"Where are you going?" Feiyu looked at Anthony with a blank look on his face.

"I'll talk to your president, you're here to help take care of him." After saying that, Anthony left the room directly and brought the door.

After the door closed with a click, Feiyu breathed a long sigh of relief. "What a troublesome guy." Feiyu felt that his temper was already very irritable, but he couldn't get angry in front of Anthony. "But he is also a very powerful guy. I heard from the guild that he was the Drakeye who wrote a strategy on the forum! I couldn't believe it!" As he said that, he looked at Joel, with a bandage on his face, Joel didn't say anything, but just stared at the ceiling.

Seeing that Joel was not talking to him, Feiyu rubbed his nose and asked, "Why must I find that NPC girl? It might be safer if I say it in the church."

Maybe, it would be safer to church Hermi. Joel does not deny this, but this is by no means a reason to discard her. Joel cannot give up her, and it is impossible. "She..." Joel's voice was hoarse and low, "It is important to me." After saying so many words so far, his throat was so painful that it made it difficult for him to calm down.

Without waiting for Feiyu to say anything, Joel said, "I want to... have some wine."

"Don't you want water?" Feiyu put down the water cup that was about to hand to Joel's mouth. Seeing that Joel didn't reply, he sighed.

"Well, okay, I'll go downstairs to get it for you, wait before that." Feiyu stood up and turned away from the room. After the door was closed with a click, Joel closed his eyes, and his eyes felt dry and uncomfortable, as if it had just been roasted by fire. The pain from his body made him want to wail loudly. But more than these, he was worried, worried about Hemi.

Just as Joel was thinking, the door was suddenly opened again. So quickly? A thought flashed through Joel's mind, but what he saw from the corner of his eyes was not a flying fish, but another tall shadow.

"This is judgment," the man whispered, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was telling Joel, "It's all... for the World Tree."

Joel immediately climbed up regardless of the wound on his body, and the tall bald man rushed up. Joel reached out and grabbed the sword on the edge of the bed, but the man grabbed his wrist. The wound on his body made Joel slow. The man's big hand was extremely strong. When he touched the burn, Joel almost screamed. He held Joel's hand holding the sword and hit the edge of the bed, knocking his sword to the ground. At the same time, his other hand grabbed Joel's face and covered his mouth.

The man pressed him on the bed with great strength. He grabbed the pillow and covered Joel's face, making him unable to breathe, and Joel's body also struggled violently.

"You demon, monster, divine enemy!" Seve cursed in a low voice, "The flames have not purified you, let me get rid of you for the World Tree!"

"Everything is for the World Tree!"

Joel struggled wildly, but was completely unable to resist the strength of this tall man. The burned skin cracked, and the bandage wrapped around Joel's body was dyed red by the oozing blood. Joel reached out to grab Seve, but only grabbed his face. Seve raised his face, so that Joel's fingers could not reach his eyes.

"Go to die! The enemy of God!"

You are the one who deserves to die! Joel almost roared, and the burns all over his body made him crazy. He almost thought his palms were burning again, and Mars eroded the bandage on his hand.

But unexpectedly, Sevi screamed in dismay.
Chapter completed!
