Riding and Slashing

Chapter 331 The Gatekeeper

"grown ups?"

The Noldor guard outside came at last, but the barracks were dark and silent, and the Noldor dared not shoot their arrows.

Lisa Diran heard Li Ang's shout, and he led several Noldor holding swords and shields to rush into the barracks, but the door was blocked from the inside.

The guards didn't know what was going on inside. Although they could judge Li Ang's location, they didn't dare to act rashly. Lisa Dilan waved his hand and asked the Noldor to temporarily surround the place.

"Your Excellency Li Ang...you are not my opponent, let the outsiders get out of the way, I don't intend to hurt you, but don't hinder me either!"

Irano's voice came from the dark barracks.

"I am indeed not your opponent, but if you attack me again, you will definitely end up dead. So, let's have a chat... lest one careless will lead to the end of both."

Li Ang took out a torch from his body—this is a torch that was improved along with the grenade. It is made of matchlock and cotton linen mixed with gunpowder. It burns as soon as it is blown, and it is quite easy to use.

"That's good... I just wanted to coerce you to leave here just now... You first ask the people outside to back away."

Ilano—or the prophetess knew very well that this was in Li Ang's barracks. It would have been fine if she had succeeded in her surprise attack just now, but now that Li Ang's guards had arrived, killing Li Ang would indeed mean death.

Although the Prophet is powerful, it is impossible to defeat a thousand with one.

"Lisa Dilan, step back fifty paces away."

Li Ang gave the order loudly, which indeed made his subordinates back away.

However, to Noldor, there is no difference between fifty steps and five steps - anyway, they are all within the range of their bows and arrows, and a little further away will be more powerful...

But seeing Li Ang's cooperation, the female prophet obviously felt a little more secure, and her voice became a little more relaxed: "Your Excellency Li Ang, I really don't want to be your enemy...I also have a question to ask you."

Li Ang blew on the torch, and the fire lit up the barracks.

The temperament of 'Ilano' on the opposite side has completely changed - the youthful vitality of the 20-year-old girl can't be seen in the eyes full of vicissitudes, and the indifferent expression looks very familiar.

This should be the prophet who once repelled Li Ang, the one who was beaten by the "New Year's Greeting Swordsmanship", Li Ang saw it.

It's amazing, although the image has changed, but through the temperament and tone of speaking, it can still be recognized, it must be her.

Recognizing this prophet, Li Ang was relieved - this may be the most powerful one among the three prophets, but since he defeated her before, he can naturally deal with her now.

This should be what the prophet who called herself 'Sersi' said, the female prophet who came to investigate the situation around Fox Town.

"How may I address you?"

Li Ang squatted down slowly, picked up the oil lamp that had fallen by the wall and lit it, and asked the prophetess calmly.

"Medea. Where are my sisters? Ana and Circe..."

The attitude of the female prophet was also very calm, she even sat down, it was Li Ang's chair.

After losing the table case, the chair was left alone in the middle of the room.

Li Ang took a step to the side with the oil lamp in hand, pulled over the broken table by the wall, and sat on half of the edge of the table: "Is their name really Anna and Circe?"

"Of course. I know you control Sarleon... and I know they're not dead, but I want to know, where did you trap them?"

Midea still tightly held the Heresy Codex in her hands, and what she said seemed to be very firm.

But Li Ang was a little surprised - if the other two prophets were really called by these two names, then...

No wonder Anna and Circe couldn't be found!

That fat cook named Circe is probably Circe!
As for Anna, I'm afraid she really jumped off the building——Anna deliberately caused Li Ang or others to look down from the window!
She just used this method to deceive everyone, making Li Ang think that the one who jumped off the building was just a blood oath witch, so she thought that she had already changed her body and left!
In fact, that Anna must still be in the body of the blood oath witch at that time!
Then, the body of the blood-sworn witch was thrown in the morgue of the Noble House for a few days. Afterwards, no abnormalities were found in the body, and it was transported out of the city by the Noldor and burned.

During this time, apart from the Noldo Guards and Li Ang himself, no one entered or left the House of Nobles.

There shouldn't be any problems with the Noldor, which is why Leon has been using the Noldor elves to block the House of Nobles, but Midea can still be sure that Anna is not dead...

Wait... King Ulrik's body was also placed in the same morgue - it must not be left to dry outside, it will rot...

That's it!

Fawcett had sent news from Wendy before that he believed that the Three Prophets might be hiding in the corpses of the House of Nobles.However, due to the existence of the Forbidden Tower, forcibly casting spells will inevitably be backlashed, so Fawcett believes that wherever the corpse is, Anna will be there.

To be on the safe side, Li Ang burned all the corpses, including the broken corpses made by Circe, and the incident passed.

But the body of King Ulrik will not be burned - the king must leave a whole body for burial...

As for Circe... She probably also forcibly changed her body by casting a spell, and it was specially changed to Circe, a fat cook - this cook was indeed called Circe.

That is to say, the Three Prophets and Brennus conspired together for the messy incidents in the palace ten years ago!

What Circe said from the beginning to the end should be the truth, and she was indeed cooperating like an ordinary person in the throne room...

This allowed her to successfully deceive the world, but she must have also lost her mana, and she is currently in the prison of Lion Lake City, under supervision.

Amy won't be in any danger, will she?

Let's hope Circe's mana isn't restored...

If only Anna was still in Ulrik's tomb!

Li Ang felt a little nervous.

However, this Midea seems to think that Li Ang has captured the other two prophets...

"You want to rescue Anna and Circe, right... Anna is in Ulrik's tomb; Circe is in prison, and she looks like a fat cook now."

Li Ang didn't lie, anyway, Midia couldn't leave here now, and couldn't save her sisters.

Probably this answer was in line with Midia's expectations. She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Very good...you can ask whatever you want to know."

"So, tell me first, what happened to Irano? How did you control her?"

Li Ang first asked about the body that Midia was using at the moment—Ilano was not some blood-sworn witch or doom attractor, she was a determined female warrior, and she could stay by Roland's side for so long, Li Ang did not believe that she was the Three Prophets puppet.

"You mean this girl, right? Give me a body, and I'll be able to leave her, and she'll be safe and sound... This body doesn't suit me at all."

Midia frowned again, she seemed to be in pain.

"Can you occupy anyone's body? Why do you need to be a prophet if you have such an ability..."

Li Ang also frowned. It would be terrible if the Three Prophets had the ability to forcibly control anyone's body at will...

But this is impossible, otherwise why would they come up with so many tricks?

"Of course not... Like you, we can only forcefully suppress the souls of the weak."

Midia glanced at Li Ang, and his voice became very soft: "Your Excellency, Li Ang, you are actually the same as us, right?... You also have no entity, this body does not belong to you... You are the chosen one!"

Li Ang looked at Midea in surprise, the prophetess was actually right.

It appears that the Three Prophets can indeed see things that others cannot see.

Like... soul.

But Li Ang didn't answer, but changed the subject: "Can you use witchcraft to suppress other people's souls and replace them? In other words, my soul is not safe either?"

"You have Noldo's blood in your body, I can tell... Noldo's blood is actually equivalent to the forbidden magic circle, our magic won't work... Otherwise, I will definitely control you, not this little girl. I'm curious, how did you occupy this body?"

Midia squinted her eyes and looked at Li Ang: "If I hadn't been able to see your soul, I would even have thought you were some abyssal demon..."

"So, your witchcraft is actually only useful for human souls..."

Li Ang could understand what Midia meant. To be honest, he and Egrem were truly the same kind—both belonged to spirit bodies summoned from another world, but Li Ang happened to be a human being.

Midea shook her head slowly, and sneered: "Witchcraft? Heh...Your Excellency Li Ang, we are not using any kind of witchcraft. If I tell you, soul possession is a god possessed by both the Goddess of Justice and the Goddess of Darkness." Art, do you believe it?"

"I believe……"

Li Ang smiled: "I even think that it is because you have mastered such divine arts that you left the Temple of Justice, and changed from priests of Astalia to prophets of Eredar..."

Midia obviously didn't expect Li Ang to react like this, she was completely stunned: "Do you believe it?"

Li Ang nodded seriously: "Of course, the better the reputation of a god, the more he needs such abilities..."

"...You are indeed different from what we imagined. I originally thought you were Astalia's lackey...In that case, Your Excellency Li Ang, let's make a deal..."

Midia showed a surprised expression, she paused, and made a request: "You let Anna and Circe go, I will return this girl to you, and our three sisters can help you with things - you should also know , we have done many things for King Ulrik, you will need us."

"I don't want to end up like Ulrik... And, Midea, if I'm right, you should have met Egrim, right?"

Li Ang glanced at the Code of Heresy, which was held tightly by Midea: "Could it be that you summoned Egrem with the Code of Heresy?"

"Code of Heresy? You mean the gate of the abyss, right? It's not me. It's another group of people who summoned Egreme, a group of fools who don't understand anything. I did meet Egreme two days ago, but it was actually It took the initiative to find me - it snatched the gate of the abyss from me."

Midea shook her head, explaining very happily, without any pause or consideration.

"What the hell is the Abyss Gate? I heard that you stole the Heresy Codex from the Temple of Justice 30 years ago...why?"

Li Ang looked at Midea, and judging from her attitude towards the heresy code, he thought what she said was true.

"The so-called Code of Heresy is the gate leading to the abyss of the Blood Hell... We took it away from the temple 30 years ago just to better protect it and prevent the gloomy eye from appearing in this world again. We are Eredar The gatekeeper appointed by the goddess, and we have been living in the gate of the abyss until then..."

Midea answered quickly and without looking like she was lying.

Li Ang looked at Midea in surprise: "So, the dark goddesses Ereda and Egrim are enemies? Then why do those heretic supplicants who summon demons claim to be followers of the dark goddess?"

"It's just pouring dirty water... Egrim is an abyss demon, and it is an enemy of all gods! The goddess Eredar has always been the watcher of the abyss, the patron saint who stops demons! But the world has forgotten her... that Astalia, who claims to be righteous, even excluded the goddess Ereda from the main god system! But even though she suffered such injustice, the goddess Ereda still did not forget her mission..."

Midia gritted her teeth and said, "If there were not watchers like Ereda, this world would have been occupied by abyssal demons long ago! Why do you think those so-called main gods never showed miracles? Because they all became deserters The devourers are their natural enemies, they are afraid of being devoured by spiritual bodies...These so-called main gods will only hide in the remote areas, sit and watch people fend for themselves, but enjoy people's offerings with peace of mind..."

"I don't quite believe your words, Midia—I have seen you create a large number of fallen people, and I have also seen your flesh and blood armor..."

Li Ang didn't expect Midia to suddenly have such deep resentment, but he didn't think that the Goddess of Darkness was an upright god who had been wronged because of this - judging from the behavior of the three prophets, it was obviously not very decent.

"Because our goddess has been exiled! We can only learn the spells of the abyssal demons, and use this method to force the so-called main gods to give in and let Ereda goddess return!"

Midea replied without hesitation: "It is for this reason that we have been cooperating with the Sarleon Kingdom to do some dirty things for the king, and at the same time strengthen our strength."

This reason is indeed a bit like the truth-creating fallen people, forcing other gods to put back the banished dark goddess. After all, according to Midea, it was Ereda who sealed Egrem in the first place.

The Three Prophets made the Fallen from among their followers, and their methods were indeed half-baked, probably indeed self-taught.

"Then, why did Egrem want to snatch the Abyss Gate from you?"

Li Ang nodded, he didn't want to get entangled in these matters between gods and gods, he was more concerned about how to deal with Egreme at the moment.

"It wants to summon its mate... There are more than one Grim Eye, they are the ruling class of the abyss, you can also call them the Soul Eater. They have no body, so they cannot be killed... Those fools who call themselves Invokers The so-called demon warriors summoned are actually just the lowest inferior demons in the abyss, low-level creatures whose souls have been devoured."

Midea looked down at the Heresy Codex in his arms: "As long as you sacrifice evil souls and clean flesh and blood to the abyss, the gloomy eyes in the blood prison can get entities, and with entities, they can rush out of the gate of the abyss. Appeared in this world. Fortunately, your people interrupted the sacrificial ceremony of Egrem..."
