Chapter 704 I don't want to die
After exhausting all the defenses.
Rune Monger was finally captured by everyone.
After all the restraints that restricted movement, banned magic, and stopped chanting were put on, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Nothing went wrong, no accidents.
Everything went according to plan.
Although the scene fell into a brief chaos when those hell creatures were summoned by Monger.
But Miranda reacted quickly and thought of directly threatening the devil who provided Monger with power, and successfully resolved the threat.
Of course.
What Pete and the others didn't know was:
Even if Miranda didn't think of this trick, Nowen, who was paying attention to the believers, would never allow their souls to be refined into soul fragments.
As long as the "Punishment Core" is in hand, Nowen is an ancestor-level existence for the devil!
In addition to naming and randomly selecting a lucky devil named La Mingfei to be struck, the Punishment Core has another simple use, which is to directly bring down "punishment" on an area that can be selected by Nowen.
The condition for being selected is that there are believers of your own nearby.
Then all the demons in this area will be struck.
Once locked, there is no way to avoid or escape.
The first use is accurate locking, which does not harm innocent people;
The second use is fuzzy search, and those who meet the conditions will be unlucky!
Norman has discovered the law.
Anything related to the Creation Altar, no matter what it is used for, its effect is almost equivalent to the level of causality, which is superior to most of the power in this world.
Norman estimated that if nothing unexpected happened, even the devil lord would be struck if he knew the other party's location or real name.
However, the believers used their own ingenuity to come up with a solution, so Norman was happy to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor and let them solve the problem themselves.
Judging from the results.
The believers undoubtedly did a good job.
...
After confirming that Rune Monger could not escape and was only waiting for the Crusaders to come and secretly receive him, Pete could not help but tease:
"In fact, Mr. Monger, although we have confirmed that you and the cultists are secretly colluding, now it seems that I am very sure that you are definitely not a cultist."
Monger's face was gray and he looked as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
He did not speak.
Pet did not intend to get a response from the other party, and continued to talk on his own:
"As far as I know, those guys in the Supreme Truth Church are all crazy. In addition to promoting the evil god they believe in, there may be nothing else in their minds."
"And they are not as timid as you, so... cherishing their lives."
As soon as these words came out.
Gail, Brandon and Miranda couldn't help but curl up their lips.
They knew what Pete meant.
The cultists who really belong to the Supreme Truth Church are all suicide maniacs.
So far, they have not caught any alive.
The other party would either simply self-destruct when they were desperate, or use some methods of offering sacrifices to the evil gods in exchange for power to allow themselves to directly complete the transformation from mortals to monsters.
If Rune Monger was a member of the Supreme Truth Church, he would not have been caught at all.
When he knew he could not resist, he should have self-destructed.
But Monger did not.
After being defeated, he honestly accepted the control.
Even though he might be publicly burned at the stake after the investigation and interrogation, he did not try to commit suicide in advance to gain a short pain.
Prince Fradin frowned and decided to ask the question he wanted to ask at the beginning again.
"Grandpa Rune, I don't understand."
"Why did you do this?"
"Cooperate with the cultists, even at the cost of creating... such a big scam, why??"
Ever since he learned that Rune Monger had a connection with the cultists, Prince Fradin has always wanted to know the reason for this question.
Put yourself in Monger's shoes. As the richest man in the kingdom, he has endless wealth in his hands and can do whatever he wants.
What kind of motive would make him risk losing all these things or even being burned at the stake to establish cooperation with the cultists?
Prince Fradin couldn't imagine it.
Pete sighed: "Your Highness, looking at his appearance, it's probably impossible to ask him directly like this."
"Let's wait for the Crusaders to come and take him to the Holy Land of Glory for interrogation. They are professional there."
Rune Monger, who was hanging his head, suddenly sneered.
"Sneer... Hehe!"
"Hmm?" Pete raised his eyebrows.
He didn't expect the other party to react.
Monger said slowly with a hoarse voice: "You...are different from me."
"You can't understand me."
"You are all still very young, and you can waste time as much as you want."
"Time is no longer tolerant to me."
"Even if I have more gold and more wealth...when I am taken away by the god of death, how much of these things can I take away?"
"I am unwilling to accept it."
"I have worked hard for so many years and put in so much effort to accumulate the wealth I have now, which is enough for me to squander for hundreds of years!"
"And...as long as you give me more time, I can still make money, and I will make more gold than now!"
"Why can't I live for hundreds of years!"
At the beginning, Monger's voice was still very low.
After speaking, his voice became full of resentment!
"I am a genius! I am blessed by wealth!"
"I shouldn't die like this, I should obviously enjoy everything I've worked hard to earn!"
"The power of the glow cannot help me;"
"The secrets of magic cannot withstand the erosion of time;"
"Devil... huh, unreliable guy!"
"Then why shouldn't I seek help from the believers in the evil god!!"
"They can give me what I want!"
Peter was stunned when he heard:
"Cultists...can increase your lifespan? Do you believe this?!"
Meng sneered and lowered his head, not planning to answer anything.
Rune Monger was born an orphan.
Although he keeps a large number of "banquet companions" in the manor, all of them are beautiful and exquisite.
But after so many years, Monger has never given birth to an offspring.
The reason is simple.
He is sterile.
This is a flaw in the soul.
He was destined to have no future from birth.
Many people are curious about who will own the wealth he has after he dies this year.
Monger's confession at this moment revealed the answer.
He doesn't want to die!
Such a simple reason!
Prince Vladin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the words came to his lips, but he didn't know how to express them.
There was silence.
Until the sound of neat and powerful footsteps came from the distance.
——The Crusaders have arrived.
…
The fourth update is here. Thank you for your monthly votes and recommendation votes. Thank you very much!
PS: Volume 5 was a bit difficult to write because we had to hide a real BOSS behind the BOSS in this volume, so the progress was a bit stumbling, but it’s finally almost over!
Volume 6 will return to Guozi’s comfort zone, and the update time should be much later!
