Chapter 208 Stone Snow Festival

The Stone Snow Festival has finally arrived.

On this day of every year, people will take to the streets to welcome the new year. The Stone Snow Festival was originally the coldest day in Hastan, but because of the calculation method of the calendar. Every year, the Stone Snow Festival comes two days earlier than before. So the word 'Snow Festival' is no longer true.

But there will still be a large number of people knocking drums and bagpipes in front of the door, and men, women and children will cheer in the street in long skirts with a strong Scottish flavor. The people of Witherspong celebrate the end of the old year in their unique way, and also look forward to the beginning of the new year. After the rainy season, the water in the city has not receded, and the pedestrians are cheering and jumping in the water.

However, this year's snow festival is destined not to be peaceful.

The day of the demon attack a few days ago has made many civilians less excited about the festival, and more people would rather stay at home honestly.

In the past, the bustling streets of the Stonen Snow Festival have become solitre, and the sound of celebrating the festival has weakened.

A series of rapid horseshoe sounds broke through the last trace of peace of Witherspoon, bringing a depressing atmosphere to the upcoming grand ceremony. A large number of knights went out one after another. They wore unified armor, held sharp weapons, and sat upright on horseback with their arrogant bodies. Their eyes are as sharp and alert as hounds, and they will keep their eyes on every suspicious outsider.

Any teenager riding a horse will be imprisoned in the prison of the Holy See, and then interrogated in person by the distinguished judge. The devil's branded frame was once again pasted all over the streets and alleys of the city, and the knights of the Holy See were also ordered to take to the streets in groups, full of murderous faces. As a result, the whole city became panicked.

This year is destined to be a disaster-prone year. The blood stains on St. Mark's Square have just been completely removed, and the residents of Witherspoon have just forgotten the disaster... However, another disaster is about to happen to them.

The discordant killing spirit dilutes the festive atmosphere of the festival, and panic and uneasiness fill the hearts of every resident.

People are talking about the cause of this scene, and the messages become more and more mysterious.

"What the hell is going on? Why are there so many Holy See knights on the street? The crowd on the street looked at the sitting knights and asked in a low voice.

"I heard that the demon who appeared in the Bimon tribe has passed through the City of Thunder, and he has now arrived at Witherspoon!"

"Oh, my God! Do you mean that the demon who slaughtered the Bimon warriors of the whole team came to Witherspoon on his own? There was an exclamation from the crowd, and the gossip was spreading at a rapid speed.

"It's not impossible, is it? Look, the street is full of portraits of demons. It is said that this is still the news provided by a survivor of Bimon... Look, my brother in the mercenary union gave me a portrait of the devil!" The passer-by took out a branded frame from his arms, and the flashing magic image flashed in front of everyone.

"This sounds terrible, but that demon, why did he come to our Witherspoon?"

"Who knows! It is this damn devil who makes the annual Stone Snow Festival quiet. Even if it is not the coldest winter, the news of his arrival will make everyone stay at home. The pedestrian frowned, and he put his head on the magic image. I always feel familiar with the demon on this image... He is like a big man who once appeared in Witherspoon.

"I have some impression on what you said. He looks like the previous presiding judge of Withers Pompon... But isn't he crazy and arrested by the Holy See?"

"Oh, my God! I said that this person must be a demon. The chief judge has left here, so what should we do?

"Don't you know yet? Anthony has been entertaining the return of the chief knight at the largest hotel in Withers Pompon. The last time Lord Starr destroyed the devil's conspiracy. He will definitely not let go of the demon when he comes back this time!"

Star rode a horse across the street briskly, and he listened to the words of the pedestrians word for word. Jian Mang wagged his tail and happily wandered happily on the street with bare feet.

A team of Holy See knights quickly found him and drove the horse to trot all the way.

"Hight!" The Knights of the Holy See surrounded Star with a semicircular formation.

"What's the matter, colleagues?" Star came to his senses from meditation. He looked at the nervous knights and asked in a calm tone.

"Witherspoon is under martial law. Do you have any relatives who can prove your identity in Witherspoon?" The leading knight took the rein and couldn't take his eyes off the young man in front of him. If not, please come to the Holy See with us.

"Oh?" Starr raised his eyebrows. He jumped down from the horse and looked at the Holy See knights who surrounded him. He dares not despise any Holy See knight now. Except for the rookie in his own Knights, who can become a formal Holy See knight at such an age must be the elite among the elites of the Holy See.

"Yes, my lord. We are arresting all young people between the ages of 17 and 20. If you can prove your identity, please go home and don't wander on the street. The devil has come here, and we must be careful.

The leading knight couldn't help using respectful words. Although the young man in front of him looks younger than his own age, he can't be underestimated by others with the temperament of a long-term superior. It was Star's momentum that made him ignore the meaning of the word 'colleague' in the other party's words.

"I'm afraid this won't work. I have promised others that I must go out today." Starton paused and then said, "I don't think a patrol like yours alone will have any effect, because demons are not only good at demagogic, but also good at hiding. I think it's better for you to investigate the purpose of the devil than to waste time here.

Star smiled, pulled up the rein and walked to the depths of the street.

Is Kemesle back? What orders did Dios give him? Star couldn't help frowning when he looked at the magic frame map on the side of the street.

"Your Excellency, where are you going?" The leading knight shouted out in a hurry.

"I am the head of the Order of Judgment, and I am also the Star of the cardinal who personally gave me the title of honorary high priest. I'm going to the Joan of Arc Hotel now!" Star said without looking back. Since the demon was also driven away by me last time, this time he came back... I will never give him a chance again.

Hearing the last sentence, the leading knight's face turned pale in an instant.

He remembered that the teenager had just said in front of him that the devil is not only good at demagogic, but also good at hiding himself. The small hides in the wild, the big hides in the city... The devil will also become another person to do something.

"The whole city is on alert. The devil has arrived at Witherspoon. Inform all the people of the Holy See to rush to the Joan of Arc Hotel. I know where the devil is hiding. The leading knight shouted loudly. He looked at his colleagues around him who were still in a trance and couldn't help frowning, and quickly untied the cylindrical flare from his waist. With a sudden pull back, a series of red flash bombs roared into the sky.

With a 'bang', the sound of the flash bomb explosion broke the last trace of peace of Witherspoon. At the moment they saw the flash bomb, all the knights of the Holy See stepped on their horses and rushed to the center of the city. Along the way, the water on the street was splashed high, and then fell heavily.

"What's going on?" The knights patrolling around the city came quickly, and the traffic was everywhere. The knights in silver armor gathered in the city like a silver torrent.

"I found the devil..." The leading knight just now said tremblingly.

"Where is he?"

"Jades Hotel!"

The silver torrent that converged dispersed in an instant, and the people and horses of the Holy See almost occupied the whole street of Witherspoon in an instant... They rushed from the Joan of Arc Hotel in all directions, surrounding all the roads that could leave the hotel.

Star led the horse and walked on the street without hurry. In his hand was an invitation signed by Anthony himself. He came a little late because of the martial law of Witherspoon. He didn't know the reaction of the Holy See knights after he left.

Soon, Star arrived at the door of the Joan of Arc Hotel.

The housekeeper stood at the door of the hotel and greeted the guests from the city respectfully.

Standing in front of the door of the hotel, Star took a deep breath. What on earth is this old man looking for himself? But this is no longer important, because the important thing is... It turns out that this old gentleman, who has been excluded by himself, is the sixth apprentice of Dihas.

In Star's memory, it seems that except for Sadek, several other 'apprentices' of Dios are not keen on the refining of the 'Stone of the Sage'.

But what does it matter? There was a trace of resistance in Star's heart, and the sentence was hung up by himself - all the alchemists who could refine the 'stone of the sage' will be killed mercilessly...

He shook his head silently. Despite the doubts and surprised eyes of the people around him, Star slightly tidied up his collar and walked to the Joan of Arc Hotel.
