Chapter 151: The Flame of Revenge (Thanks to the first leader of this book [浅绒灬])
Looking at the blazing red flames that illuminated half of the sky in the town, Avis' heart suddenly moved.
He had a feeling that the person he was looking for was at the fire scene.
So, he turned around and headed towards the fire. … ..… The town militiamen on duty at the wooden sentry tower at the town gate were suddenly awakened by the dazzling flickering firelight.
He stared blankly in the direction of the fire and blinked twice. He finally reacted and immediately began to pull the alarm bell desperately.
“Ding-ding-ding—”
"It's on fire! Put it out!"
The residents of the town were awakened from their sleep and saw the raging flames rising into the sky in the night. They hurriedly began to look for items and went to the town’s well to fetch water to put out the fire.
The cold winter nights are when Kalastor, the god of the north wind, reigns.
The strong and dry north wind coming from the depths of the ancient mountains is blowing in the small town as if it will never stop.
If the fire cannot be put out quickly, then in this wind,
The fire is likely to ignite nearby dry brush, weeds, and even other houses.
By then, everything will be over.
Snap, Snap, Snap——
The panicked townspeople, carrying buckets, wooden basins and other items, quickly passed by Anvis and ran towards the burning house in the corner of the town.
But the strange thing was that at this moment, no one noticed Avis in the middle of the road.
When people passed him by, they never even glanced at him for a moment.
Although his leisurely gait, which was different from others, and the dark cloak covering his whole body, made him look very suspicious.
It was as if Avis didn't exist at all in their sight.
Next to Avis, a figure wearing enchanted heavy armor suddenly appeared and handed him a paper document respectfully.
This was the brief information about the target person that the family's intelligence agency had gathered for him during his trip to Jurgen Town.
Avis took it casually and began to browse its contents as he walked forward.
At the top of the document, there were magical images of a boy's front and side faces.
Big light brown eyes, fair skin, some small freckles on the face, a slightly red rosacea, and slightly thin lips.
His brown-red hair was disheveled, as if a bird's nest made of hay had been torn up and placed on top of his head.
Name: Matt
Birthplace: Jurgen Town, Jurgen Territory, Province of Paloxia Lord: Baron Jurgen
…
Slowly flipping through the information in his hand, a classic story of nobles oppressing the common people gradually took shape in Anvis' mind. . ….….Matt was born into a family of five, which was very common among the people of Gloria. He was the youngest child in the family.
Fortunately, he has loving parents and older brothers and sisters who love him very much.
This summer, Matt's father accidentally broke his leg while working in the fields, and then he was caught in the rain and caught a cold.
Due to overwork, he became ill and was bedridden.
Having lost one of the main laborers in the family, the eldest brother and Matt, who was still weak, could only barely maintain farming.
During the autumn harvest, a lot of the mature grains were eaten by birds because there was no time to harvest them. In addition, this year was a famine year, and to make matters worse, the various taxes such as farmland tax, head tax, defense tax, etc. that the people could barely afford in previous years were no longer able to afford this year.
For the sake of her family, the second sister bravely stepped forward and volunteered to become a maid in the Baron's mansion, using her work to offset part of her taxes.
But while dusting the furniture, she accidentally dropped an ancient magic crystal lamp worth hundreds of gold coins.
Baron Jurgen was furious and immediately ordered her to be hung up and whipped fifty times before leaving her to his men to deal with.
Three days later, Matt's second sister's thin and scarred body was brought back by the guards of the Baron's Mansion.
Matt's eldest brother was so angry that he wanted to argue, but he was hit on the head by a formal professional guard. The back of his head hit the stone hard and he died on the spot. . ….….Standing among the people who were fighting the fire, Matt stared blankly at the sea of fire, his face pale.
He would never forget the last look his mother gave him before the fire.
Collapse, despair, hysteria——
The loss of middle-aged labor force means that the family has lost more than 90 percent of its economic source.
This means one thing: in the long and harsh winter that is coming, she will have to watch her children and husband slowly die in front of her.
I experienced too great a blow in a short period of time, and a life with no hope for the future.
Matt's mother pushed Matt out of the room.
Then, she set the house on fire herself—
…
The home where I had lived for more than ten years was completely engulfed in flames.
Three bodies, burnt beyond recognition, were rescued from the burning house by the townspeople.
Matt only felt darkness in front of his eyes, as if his whole world had turned to ashes before his eyes.
He moved his body and wanted to take a step towards the sea of fire.
But his body was staggering as if he was drunk, and he could not stand steadily. He could only barely hold on to the wooden fence beside him.
At this moment, the world around me suddenly stopped.
The shouts of the townspeople directing the fire-fighting, the crackling of the raging fire, the cries of women and children, all the sounds fell silent, as if they had become projections that had nothing to do with him.
Matt raised his head in a daze and looked towards the source of the change.
The tall silhouette that was walking towards him, with its feet on a sea of fire as dazzling as the sun, but darker than the night—
The double moons in the sky were obscured by dark clouds, and darkness and flames accompanied the footsteps of the figures.
Just like the god of vengeance in the apocalypse, he stood proudly on top of the burning kingdom of God, overlooking the countless living beings in the world.
"Matt—"
Under the deep black robe, the figure spoke slowly, and his voice was filled with overlapping low echoes, as if countless men, women, young and old were speaking at the same time.
"You, want revenge?"
"revenge……?"
His groggy mind slowly turned as he pondered the meaning of the figure's words.
A faint light slowly appeared in the depths of Matt's originally lifeless eyes.
"revenge……"
Slowly chewing on this cold and sweet word, the fire suddenly spread rapidly in his heart like a blazing sea of fire in front of him.
Matt regained his senses and quietly raised his head, looking at the tall figure in front of him.
At this moment, an extremely strong flame of hatred was burning in his brown eyes.
"Do you want to take revenge on those nobles who destroyed everything you have?"
Looking at this scene, the dark figure asked without any emotion.
"Are you the god of vengeance?"
Looking at the extremely tall figure in the sea of fire, Matt suddenly understood something and knelt down like a pillar of strength.
"I want revenge, my God! I am willing to give you my life! My faith! My soul!"
"I am willing to sacrifice everything I have! Just to send them all to the bottom of the endless abyss! Burn in the boundless flames of hell for eternity!"
"Then, as you wish—"
Looking at Matt kneeling in front of him, still with that strange and sacred echo, the dark figure slowly nodded.
At that moment, Matt suddenly felt that something seemed to have appeared in his heart.
