Release that Witch - Chapter 1080

[Chapter 1058]

In a tavern at the pier of Grand Duke Island.

Joe fidgeted fidgeting with the wine glass in his hand, looking at the entrance from time to time.

He never felt that time was so difficult.

Regret, fear, heartache, and bewilderment emerged in his heart in turn, but he couldn’t do anything except continue to wait.

It wasn’t until a man wearing a hood walked into the tavern and sat down beside Joe that he breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately followed by greater anxiety and uneasiness.

“How… is she doing now?”

Joe stared at the other’s lips, afraid to see the worst answer——

“Alive.”

The other party’s answer made him feel relieved in an instant.

“But Lord Farina is not doing well.” The visitor took off his hood and said with a worried expression, “The bishop seems to want something from her, and people torture her every day—sometimes standing in the hall You can hear her screams, if this continues, sooner or later she will not be able to bear it.”

This is all expected, Joe told himself repeatedly, since they failed to attack the castle, all the people who are still alive will inevitably suffer cruel revenge, and Farina, who is the leader, is no exception.

What’s more, the traitor still hopes to get the whereabouts of the scriptures from her, so he will naturally try his best to force her to speak.

Just be alive.

Although he said so in his heart, his fingers dug deeply into his palm.

He didn’t even dare to think about what would happen if he couldn’t save Farina, maybe death would be a luxury…

Damn it!

Why did he agree to her, Joe thought regretfully, what attracted the attention of the enemy, so that the God’s Punishment Army could break through from the side; what if the battle fell into a disadvantage and he could retreat first, he might as well die in the castle directly with everyone, that would at least To be able to accompany Mianxia at the last moment of his life.

“My lord…” The man hesitated for a moment, “Do you know what the bishop wants? If you have it, you might as well give it to him. In this way, at least Lord Farina won’t—”

He is not a bishop, but a traitor!

Joe gritted his teeth, “The thing he coveted is not in my hands, it has long since fallen along with the Hermes Cathedral.”

When Hermes was mentioned, the other party showed obvious sadness on his face.

“May the gods bless us…” he whispered.

How ironic, Qiao thought, when the old and new holy cities were still there, he was already a leader among the younger generation of the Judgment Army, and all the people who came and went were outstanding people in the army, and ordinary believers would not be regarded in the eyes at all.

As a result, at this point, the bishop betrayed and the priests betrayed. The only thing he can rely on is such an ordinary believer who can’t be more ordinary.

Moreover, the other party’s feelings for the church are actually deeper than many high-level officials. If it weren’t for this, they wouldn’t have taken the initiative to find him when he was on the verge of collapse.

He was deeply dissatisfied with Lorenzo’s abandoning his bishop status and claiming himself as the Earl of Grand Duke Island, but he did not dare to resist because of his humble status. On the night of the battle, he happened to catch a glimpse of the face of the attacker, and then he stayed around the castle for an extra day. A thought – this is the whole process of the two people meeting.

Joe didn’t even have to worry that this was Lorenzo’s trick. He had nothing now, and it wasn’t worth the effort to deal with it.

If this person was sent by a traitor, after a few contacts, he should have realized that he was worthless and chose to get rid of him.

It’s a pity that this person was an ordinary believer in the past, and now he is just a low-level servant, who can’t do anything except give him extremely limited information.

“I have to go back.” After a long silence, the man put on his hood. “If you leave the castle for too long, the steward will become suspicious. The next time I come out is three days later, shall we still meet here?”

“Ah…” Joe recovered from his trance, “Just stay here. If things change, I’ll send someone to send you a message.”

“I see,” he paused slightly, “My lord, please cheer up—if anyone can save Lady Farina, it’s only you.”

me?

No… I can’t do anything.

My mind is full of darkness, and I can’t see any turning point or hope at all.

No matter how much I pray to the gods, there is no answer.

Joe numbly nodded.

“By the way,” the other party turned around after taking two steps, “an incident happened in the castle recently. One of the bishop’s confidantes – Priest Hagrid went to the southwest with a pair of men and horses. I heard The groom said that they seem to be trying to cross the border of Cage Mountain. I think this news may… be helpful to you.”

Probably because the comforting meaning of these words was too obvious, even his voice became quieter after he said it.

Indeed, it is quite normal for the lord to send people to other territories. Even if the location of Cage Mountain is slightly special, it has nothing to do with Grand Duke Island.

As long as Lorenzo doesn’t take the God’s Punishment Warrior away, breaking into the dungeon to rescue Farina is nothing but a dream.

“Well, thanks.”

“Well, my lord…” He stroked his chest and bowed slightly, “That’s all I can do for you.”

Cage mountain… I’ve heard this word a lot lately. Joe poured the ale in his glass into his mouth, filling his mouth with bitterness, but the next moment, he froze in place.

Wait – Cage Mountain?

Like a flash of lightning cutting through the darkness, an idea suddenly popped up in Joe’s mind.

A possible turning point!

…

Back at the temporary hut outside the city, Joe cast his gaze on a black book on the table.

That was the “testament” left by the last Acting Pope Tucker Thor before jumping off the city wall.

It’s not a scripture that records the inheritance of the church—the method of making the God’s Punishment Army, but an entrustment from a dying senior.

In the book, he tells the story of human beings and devils, and the origin of the battle of divine will.

Everyone was stunned by this shocking secret, and they immediately understood the reason why Tucker decided to let everyone evacuate Hermes.

It’s all over.

Let go of the burden and live the rest of your life in peace.

It is probably because of this self-sacrifice that Farina is unwilling to sit back and watch the church dissipate—Joe knows in her heart that apart from her feelings for Hermes, she still has a lingering thought: that is Watching Roland Wimbledon and his Kingdom of Graycastle fall into hell before the Church.

But now, his turning point appeared in the king who destroyed the church.

Joe didn’t expect Graycastle to lend a helping hand.

It is almost impossible for those people to take the initiative to save the remnants of the church.

Only by directing the spearhead to the traitors on Grand Duke Island will he have a chance of survival.

The news that the Graycastle troops suddenly appeared in the Cage Mountain area did not attract his attention. There were too many noises in the tavern, and the church would no longer have anything to do with Graycastle. It was not until the believer’s words suddenly inspired him— —Lorenzo used to be in charge of confiscating the materials looted from all over the wolf heart, and the legendary treasure of the cage mountain is not a secret, it was reported as a special seizure at that time.

As for whether it was transported to Hermes, Joe didn’t know, but it didn’t matter at all. What mattered was whether the King of Graycastle was looking for the same thing.

The wolf-hearted nobleman would be timid, but Roland would not.

No one can withstand the onslaught of that fearsome army.

As long as he can use the opponent’s hand to get rid of the traitor, he will have a chance to rescue Farina in the melee.

No matter how bad it was, it was better for Farina to be caught by them than to be tortured endlessly.

Joe took a deep breath.

If the ending is really reversed, he will no longer hide in the dark.

At least at the last moment of life, I can be by her side.

Because…he has always loved her…

From the day he joined the Judgment Army and met Farina.

This time, he didn’t want to regret it anymore.
