Chapter 753: Exchanging Secrets
Bang!
However, just when Kito was smiling bloodthirstyly and thought he was about to win a great victory,
But suddenly, I heard a snapping sound next to my ear, and at the same time, I felt the medicine bottle that was already next to my mouth suddenly shattered.
At this moment, Kitto's smile froze instantly. He stood there in disbelief, holding up the half-broken glass bottle in his hand.
"Ah! Why! Why!"
The next moment, Kitto roared wildly. He knew that his only hope was gone! He would surely die.
"Divine punishment!"
A few dozen meters away from Kito, Delia was looking at him with a slightly pale face, and she was still mumbling something. The broken medicine bottle in Kito's hand was her masterpiece.
This was the most powerful reliance of the servants of God when the gods still existed. They could use the power of God to bring down divine punishment and change some conditions out of thin air, a bit like the effect of Gervis's words coming true in his previous life.
However, the gods have been dead for many years now, so powerful divine punishment naturally no longer exists.
Today's servants and priests rely on the remaining objects from worshipping the gods. Over time, they can accumulate a little divine power, but these divine powers can only release some low-effect magic as before.
For example, the divine plant that had entangled Kito before! And now Dilia had used up the last bit of divine power to cast divine punishment, which was to prevent Kito from taking the medicine this time. Then, under the effect of divine power, Kito's crystal bottle automatically exploded.
Of course, with Diliya's divine power, she could only break the crystal bottle.
…
“Blood…Moon…Death…God…Slash!”
Finally, after the potion in Kitto's hand broke, Gervis also felt Kitto's approach, and then without hesitation, he slashed out with his strongest sword in front of Kitto's face full of madness.
Boom! As the red sword light slashed out, Kitto's entire figure was directly covered by the sword light, followed by a deafening explosion.
Ten seconds after the explosion, Gervis did not continue to attack, but stood on guard in the field with his sword raised.
When the smoke and dust on the scene finally dissipated, Kitto's figure immediately appeared. He was still fighting straight, and seemed to be unharmed. This situation immediately startled Gervis. Just as he was about to continue swinging his sword, he suddenly heard intermittent voices in his ears.
"How can I... possibly... die..."
Blood suddenly flowed out of the corners of Kitto's mouth, and as the blood flowed out, he muttered something under his breath, and his eyes were full of blood red.
Bang! Finally, after Kitto finished mumbling, his shoulder slowly tore apart, leaving a wound that went straight to his chest. Then there was a bang, and Kitto fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. A Red Flag Knight fell to the ground with his eyes open.
"Huh! He's finally dead! Looks like I have to improve my strength quickly. If I meet the Red Flag Knight again in the future, I won't be so lucky this time!"
Gervis watched as Kitto finally died, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Weiss looked at the ring on Kitto's hand, so he quickly walked to Kitto's side and took away the space ring and the sword on his finger.
After doing all this, Gervis turned his head and looked at Delia who was standing not far away.
Gervis had seen these natives fleeing towards St. Ann's City before. Not long after, these natives came back. Gervis guessed that Gust and his men must have completed the task he had assigned to them - successfully occupying St. Ann's City.
Then this city belongs to him from now on, and it is taken from the hands of the indigenous priestess in front of him.
Logically speaking, it would be better for Gervis to kill her or capture her to prevent future troubles.
However, if this woman had not been there before, he would not only fail to kill Kitto today, but might have to flee for his life. So this woman was considered to be a favor to him, and Gervis began to consider how to deal with them.
He doesn't like to owe favors to others, especially a woman.
When Gervis looked at Delia, Delia's eyes were also on Gervis with complicated feelings.
Gervis looked disheveled now, but Diliya didn't dare to underestimate Gervis at all. Instead, she felt a little pressured because of the murderous aura that had not yet dissipated.
"My name is Dilia! I'm a priest of Saint Ann City! I wonder what the name of this commander is!"
Without waiting for Gervis to speak, Delia took the initiative to introduce herself. She knew that she needed help from others, so she naturally had to be humble.
"You can just call me Gervis!"
Gervis came out of his thoughts and answered in a deep voice.
"Based on the fact that I smashed the bottle of base medicine before, I can agree to a request of yours that is not too unreasonable. Tell me!"
After a pause, Gervis added another sentence to the priestess named Delia.
After the city was breached, these natives did not flee immediately, but came to watch the battle instead. Gervis knew that they must be asking for something.
Since the priestess had taken the initiative to speak, Gervis had no choice but to let him bring it up himself.
Of course, Gervis added the word "not excessive" before this request, which was a warning from Gervis to the priestess.
After hearing Gervis' straightforward words, Delia pursed her slightly dry lips and understood the meaning of Gervis' words.
However, the demands were not excessive and should be enough to allow hundreds of them to leave safely, or to take away a few people or objects in the city. The invader named Gervis might agree to these demands.
But she had a rather excessive request in her mind.
"Commander Gervis, I hope you can let me take away the civilians in the city!"
She stayed here just because of these civilians, so even though she knew her request was excessive, Diliya still spoke out directly.
When she finished her request, she looked at Gervis a little nervously.
It can be seen from the previous battles that the man who killed thousands of people without blinking an eye and was called the God of Killing by the Golden Knight was naturally not a good person.
Delia was even prepared for the possibility that Gervis would get angry and want to kill her.
However, even as Delia was nervous, Gervis did not become angry as she had imagined, but simply shook his head.
"Change it!"
Of course Gervis would not give up the tens of thousands of captives in the city. These were tens of thousands of free laborers. Wouldn't it be a huge loss if he let them go?
"Commander Gervis! This is my only request!"
Delia gritted her teeth and continued to persevere.
And this time, after she finished speaking, Gervis's face finally turned gloomy.
"This woman is getting too far!"
Gervis thought so in his heart. So he was ready to ask the people outside the city to leave, which would be considered as paying them back.
However, at this time, Diliya gritted her teeth and continued to speak.
"I will trade you a secret of Saint Ann City! I just hope you can agree to my request!"
"What a secret!"
Hearing the secret told by Delia, Gervis asked calmly.
"Commander Gervis, you must first promise to agree..."
"Priestess, you have no choice. Tell me the secret first!"
Gervis interrupted Delia directly.
"There is a hidden spring in the temple of Saint Ann City. Although it is very small, it is the real spring of life!"
"We have hidden the Fountain of Life. If I don't tell you, you will never find it!"
Delia knew that they were now like fish on the chopping board and had no right to bargain, so she spoke frankly.
