Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 378: Sefa's Past
After finishing this matter, Levi also joined the battle personally. He needed to solve the problem at hand as soon as possible because today's battle was not completely over yet.
The two goddesses had left for a while now, but there was no sound of any energy explosion or other abnormal movement coming from the direction of the pollution pit.
Instead, some monitoring Yakong saw that the blood area that originally covered an area of dozens of miles has now completely disappeared.
Combined with the previous appearance of Malar, Levi had every reason to believe that the Beastmen might have paid the price of the entire Blood Domain in order to allow Malar to finally arrive smoothly.
The two goddesses have not made any move, probably because Mala has gained a certain degree of enhancement and they are not sure of killing with one blow.
Then, isn't it our turn to perform next?
We don't seek to hurt Mala, but as long as we can cause a little distraction to the opponent, it will definitely be beneficial to the subsequent battle.
After making this guess, he was immediately full of energy. Various powerful magics appeared one after another. The Undead, who had already suffered heavy losses, were completely defeated by them in a short time.
When only some of the lowest-level soldiers were left, Levi simply left only the supervisor and Xiaotian to clean up the battlefield, and asked the flying troops and Donna to stay here to look after them .
He led the main force and headed to the pollution pit first.
As they got closer, the reconnaissance troops kept reporting that there were all kinds of mutilated corpses everywhere along the way.
They came from different races in their lifetime: dwarves, wood elves, greenskins, ratmen, and even various types of beastmen, etc.
What they all have in common now is that the blood in their bodies has been drained, and there are many obvious gnawing wounds on their bodies.
It seems that while using them as sacrifices, the beastmen also satisfied their own appetites.
This made everyone indignant. As warriors with faith, they were not particularly afraid of death, because as long as they were pious enough to God, they could ascend to the kingdom of gods after death.
However, after death, the body was desecrated in this way, which is unacceptable to many people.
It is for this reason that evil races such as beastmen, ratmen and undead are so hated, because they all have their own "special uses" for corpses.
But Sefa seemed a little distracted, because she just noticed that the goddess glanced at her before leaving.
But although she grew up in the temple of the goddess, she was born in the Sigma Empire, and he was not a very devout believer. Why did she look at her differently?
On the other side, Levi, who had roughly arranged several battle strategies, did not forget the situation on her side, so he also took the time to come over.
"Sefa, the goddess likes you a little bit."
It was earth-shattering. Although Levi's words were light, everyone around who heard them were extremely shocked.
Sefa pointed at his nose, his face full of disbelief: "Me?"
Levi chuckled and nodded: "That's right, don't be bound by race, country or camp, God's vision is not that narrow."
If she is really one of the only 13 Jade Phoenix Wizards in the world, then she is in some ways even rarer than the gods.
If she could choose to believe in Lilith, the goddess wouldn't care about other trivial matters.
"But, but why?" Sefa, who has always been smart and decisive, is now really confused.
She had just had some doubts before, but she couldn't believe that she was really that lucky.
But now that Levi said it, she immediately believed it. After all, Levi personally summoned the two goddesses, and he had no reason to lie to her.
Levi smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, since I don't know your entire past, I can't make any conclusions, but the goddess must have her reasons."
Now it seems that Goddess Lilith doesn't intend to continue pretending, but this truth should not come out of her mouth for the time being.
Sonia, who was standing next to her, smiled and hugged her arms, gently comforting her friend.
In any case, it is a great thing to receive the attention of a goddess.
This means that she can fight more bravely, because unless something unexpected happens, she will go to the kingdom of the gods at the end of her life.
This is also one of the reasons why all members of her family are so brave to fight against vampires, because Sigma has been protecting them.
He will determine their status in the Kingdom of God after death based on their efforts and contributions during their lifetime.
But Sefa thought more. God's favor would not come without reason, especially when the other party was an elf god and he was a human being.
Hmm, I should be a pure-blooded human, right?
She is a little skeptical now. Otherwise, why would the goddess look at her differently after just their first meeting?
Moreover, compared with her peers, it seems that her talent is completely different from everyone else . Among many kinds of magic, she is particularly good at fire magic. She can understand it almost as soon as she touches it, and she can master it once she understands it.
But she didn't say it out loud. She first smiled at her friend, indicating that she was fine. Then she took a deep breath and decided to tell Levi all her experiences.
Because now it seems that Levi is really favored by the goddess, and he may be able to know more because of this.
It turned out that she and Sonia were half-fellow villagers. Sonia's family was located on the border between the Sigma Empire and Sylvania, while Sefa was simply from Sylvania.
It was originally a powerful province in the easternmost part of the empire, but hundreds of years ago, demons and other alien evils wreaked havoc and threw the empire into chaos.
It happened that a man named Vlad married the daughter of the Count of Sylvania and was able to succeed to the position of Count. While he governed Sylvania in an orderly manner, he also took advantage of the chaos to launch a war.
Not only did they capture several provinces, they even moved westward, dragging the empire's capital, Altdorf, into the war.
The Empire certainly could not tolerate this rebel, and the Church of Sigmar seemed to have sensed something was amiss, so they joined forces to fight Vlad.
But they soon discovered that Vlad was unkillable.
He is not a human, but a powerful vampire, and one of the most powerful vampire ancestors. He is the ex-husband of the Vampire Queen and a relative of Nagash.
He also possesses a powerful ring.
Well, that ring is similar to the one on Lucia's hand. Both can resurrect vampires.
Levi didn't know who plagiarized whom or whether it was just a pure coincidence.
Since his true identity was revealed, Vlad stopped pretending and directly summoned the undead army. It seemed that he not only wanted to be the Count of Sylvania, he wanted to be the emperor of the empire.
Since Vlad was killed several times, but was resurrected the next day, and killed many powerful men of the empire, the battle became increasingly unfavorable to the empire.
But in the end, for some unknown reason, on the night before the final battle, Vlad's ring suddenly disappeared.
Then one of the only two legendary great chanters in the empire took the opportunity to drag him to death together, thus temporarily ending the war.
But Vlad still has many powerful descendants, and as the empire is extremely weakened by successive wars, they are no longer able to attack Sylvania.
When they finally recovered a little bit of their strength, they found that the place had been unified and their successor was Vlad's descendant - Manfred, who was also a legendary vampire.
He was also the vampire who had mentored Hermann Gost.
At the same time, the farmers and soldiers ruled by vampires had no intention of returning to the empire. They even worked together with the vampires and fought side by side.
This isn't even brainwashing or charm magic, it comes from their hearts.
Because vampires often don't require them to hand over food or gold, they only need to pay some blood tax occasionally.
Manfred is also a powerful and intelligent vampire who knows better than to drain the pond to catch more fish.
Therefore, when farmers paid blood tax, it was usually no more than 1 kilogram at a time. This would indeed make them a little weak for a short period of time, but it would not really affect their life or death.
So it is very ironic that the farmers here often live much better than the farmers in human countries such as the Sigma Empire and the Knight Kingdom of Batto.
Of course, there is still a big gap compared with the Zhendan Celestial Empire.
In the Zhendan Empire, even the most ordinary farmers have horses and bows and arrows at home, and those things are not cheap.
And only most of the time.
If a war breaks out and vampires need a large number of corpses and souls, they often need the villagers there to "voluntarily" contribute the corpses of their family members and ancestors in their cemeteries.
If that was not enough, there would often be certain villages that suddenly disappeared due to the raids of beastmen or other alien races, and even the corpses were collectively packed up and taken away.
But anyway, for the most part, the people there are doing pretty well.
It is also because of this that there is great hostility towards all beings that may cause harm to the vampires or cause misunderstandings among the vampires.
So because of an accident, because they mastered special powers, Sefa's fellow tribesmen, who had been living in seclusion in a remote corner, were discovered by the other side.
Those ignorant fools were terrified, and then rushed forward in anger, arresting Sefa's parents, sisters, and other fellow tribesmen who were unwilling to cast spells against ordinary people.
Then they launched a movement called witch trials, which resulted in the tragic deaths of a large number of innocent people, and she was the only one who escaped.
Later, while fleeing, Sefa was rescued by a group of Bretonnian knights-errant. After working together to repel the pursuing undead, she was given shelter in a church of the Lady of the Lake and was taught the skills of using magic.
Hearing this, Levi felt more and more that Goddess Lilith was behind this, otherwise how could everything be so coincidental?
Since she was already in her teens when she accepted asylum and was not a Bretonnian, and she was always obsessed with revenge on the mob that caused the tragedy of her family and the undead behind them, the church judged that she could not wholeheartedly spread the faith of the goddess.
After she came of age, she was allowed to move freely.
Based on the education she received in the church and her innate wisdom, she did not wait to return to Sylvania for revenge, but decided to go out on an adventure first to gain some experience.
The best place is naturally the mercenary kingdom - Dogs of War.
However, because she had witnessed how those angry villagers treated her relatives, she did not trust outsiders and always acted alone.
Since she is quite capable and smart, even though the process is difficult, it is still pretty good.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. During an expedition to an underground cave, she fell into a trap with petrification magic.
Generally speaking, even if there is a wizard who can remove the petrification for her, she will still die if the time is delayed too long.
Fortunately, God still favored her. Sonia happened to be exploring the cave at that time, and happened to have the props to remove the petrification magic, so she was successfully rescued.
During the cave exploration, they killed many low- and medium-level monsters together, as well as a seriously injured Cyclops. They could be considered comrades-in-arms who had shared life and death together.
Then, after learning that both parties had a deep hatred for the undead, they began to travel together.
After traveling to many places and experiencing many battles, they wandered around here and met Levi and others.
After listening to Sefa's experience, Cindy, Wange and others around him were more or less touched.
They all had some unfortunate or miserable experiences to varying degrees, but compared to Sefa, they were actually a little luckier.
Levi also felt a little sad when he heard this, for Sefa's unfortunate past and for those ignorant people of Sylvania.
Are they really clueless idiots? Of course not.
But in order to accept the rule of vampires peacefully, they will even take the initiative to attack Sefa's fellow tribesmen, simply because they may pose a threat to vampires. This is not very smart.
Vampires are not interested in conventional wealth, so farmers can indeed live well under normal circumstances.
But those villages that were suddenly destroyed every time a war broke out, without even a single corpse left, were they really destroyed by the enemy ?
Did the farmers never doubt this, or did they not want to find out the truth and only wanted to believe the result they wanted?
