Chapter 7 (2/2)
Two people with different thoughts turned around and walked towards the wooden door. They never looked back at the countless treasures behind them.
”They're out!”
Accompanied by the creak of the wooden door at the end of the stairs, a robber guarding outside couldn't help shouting, which made the atmosphere in the whole church much tense.
At this moment, all the villagers who had gathered outside were waiting behind the door in the church, staring wide, waiting for the door to open with fear and expectation.
Especially the village head, who is not afraid to die, stood in front of all the villagers. After hearing the sound of the door opening, the voice of panting became louder and louder, as if he wanted to jump directly.
Even though they all know that robbers will not share their wealth with themselves, their greed is still uncontrollable, fantasizing about what the other party may have left - like rotten vultures.
But when the door opened, the people who came out were completely beyond their expectation. With his sword on his back, Lauren stood in front of the two stunned robbers, waiting for each other to make way for himself.
”Why, why are you?” the frightened and frightened robber shouted, ”where's boss Martin? There are other brothers going down. How come you two are the only ones coming out?”
”Martin is dead.”
”What?!” the two robbers called out almost at the same time, and then angrily jumped at Lauren standing in place. Ain standing behind didn't even have time to shout, and he saw that Lauren had pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword.
The long sword is disadvantageous in close combat, but it is still effective... Loren, who first blocked the first robber with the scabbard, pulled out the sharp blade in the scabbard close to the other party's body, and made a cut in the other party's neck.
At this time, the second guy reacted, but Loren had pulled out his sword and directly pushed the body in his hand. When the robber was still in a hurry, the sharp blade full of collapse had pierced his chest.
”Who else... Is ready to avenge them?” Loren, standing in a pool of blood, said expressionless.
”Who cares about the life and death of that coward?!” the village head suddenly rushed up and, without any consideration, knocked away two heavily armed robbers beside him and grabbed Lauren's collar: ”where's the treasure? Where's the treasure?! say, where's the treasure?!”
”It's in the cellar below.” Lauren opened his mouth calmly, with only endless contempt in his eyes: ”if you're not afraid of death, you can take as much as you want.”
”But please remember, if you go down, I don't guarantee that you can get on - those golden little things are much more terrible than you think.” looking at the impatient expression of the village head, Loren couldn't even restrain himself from smiling sarcastically: ”if you have life, you don't have life.”
”Ha! Who cares?” but the village head seemed to hear some funny joke: ”what do you think I'm hiding in this damn wild dog village, the damn garbage dump and staying with these Dalits and robbers? Why should I suffer, and why should I be hungry and cold?”
”You noble knights will never understand my suffering. I have brought it to this broken place for so many years, and I deserve it!” the village head shouted hysterically: ”all those treasures are mine, and no one is allowed to rob me!”
Before he finished, he rushed to the wooden door behind Lauren. The whole church was quiet for a moment, and then it completely exploded.
Robbers, villagers, old people, young people, village women, farmers... All rushed to the narrow wooden door like crazy. The village head's action gave them great courage to move forward and forward, as if they were afraid of being robbed by others.
The statue of the holy cross that fell to the ground was trampled to pieces by countless feet. Even the fall of the people in front or the scream from behind could not stop them from rushing to the cellar.
”Are they... All crazy?” muttered Ian, stunned.
No... Lauren shook his head, but didn't speak.
This is human nature.
