Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Luan ’s Cathedral is located on the oval square in the center of the city. This wide square is covered with neat white stone slabs and there are twenty-two avenues extending around it, leading to all corners of the city like a backbone of spider webs. , As a typical parish city, the cathedral is also the administrative center of Luan, so it is the only large building in the center of the city, a few kilometers near the square, and even the entire city, no second The building is comparable to the church-and now, this once splendid spire church is like other parts of the city, shrouded in darkness and chaos, gradually sinking.
Countless walking-like figures swaying on the avenue, with heavy shadows and eerie ghosts. They were Luan ’s former citizens, poor people, nobles, and even monks and city guard knights. Their faces were stiff and their eyes were Godless, moving towards the cathedral step by step in the dark, like the eternal wandering souls and shadows of the legendary country of death.
This scene is creepy even if you look at it from a distance, not to mention walking close and witnessing it from a close distance. Rao is a knowledgeable person like Hao Ren who ca n’t help but have a kind of cold skin at the moment. Feeling, and several of the Sanctuary investigation team are even more nervous. Karathus painted a sacred symbol on his chest: "It must be that the evil forces in the chaos have distorted these innocent citizens ... they have lost themselves."
A church knight withdrew a long sword, but after pulling the sword and looking around, he only felt helpless: "You ca n’t let them defile the sacred cathedral ... but they are too many!"
Yeah, there are too many-everyone on the scene can see that the walking dead ’s goal is a sacred cathedral, preventing them from being everyone ’s first thought, but there are not one or two people surging on the street But tens of thousands! It may even be hundreds of thousands! Even if each of them has no resistance, the strength of several knights and monks cannot be stopped.
Hao Ren stared at the cathedral in the center of the square with dignity. He knew that it was impossible to stop such a wave of "zombies" with the power of these people. At present, there is only one way to enter the walking dead The cathedral blocked it before, that is, to forget about it, and to blow it up before the church fell, but there is a problem with this, that is, Karasius may be crazy ...
While Hao Ren was thinking about the feasibility of resolving all his worries, the afterglow in the corner of his eyes suddenly saw a "walking corpse" in the square shake a few times, and then it seemed to be evaporated The black smoke disappeared.
Next, the second, the third ... More and more walking corpses, as they approached a certain area of the cathedral, seemed to be purified by invisible forces, instantly turned into black smoke, and scattered in the air. This process reminded Hao Ren of the chaotic monsters that were killed. Those monsters also disappeared into smoke and dust after being killed by the order force.
"They don't seem to be close to a hundred meters around the church." Lily mumbled after noticing this scene.
A hint of peace appeared on Karasius ’face:" The power of the great goddess remains on the holy ground, and the church is still sheltered by the grace of God. "
More and more walking corpses are purified by the invisible divine power around the church like moths. After a while, the dark shadows swaying in the square are reduced by half, and the surrounding vision seems to be empty. At this moment, there was a glimmer of light in the afterglow of Hao Ren. He saw something seemed to shake in the glass window on the side of the cathedral, and it seemed to be a personal figure.
"Someone in the cathedral!" he immediately reminded.
"In the church?" Karasius and an assistant bishop glanced at each other, "Under the protection of the goddess, maybe she still maintains her wisdom!"
The crowd immediately ran to the church. They crossed the sparse walking dead in the square. The latter was still walking forward swaying, and seemed to be unaware of the people running by, and did not show it. With any willingness to attack, Hao Ren and Karasius and his party came to the church door without hindrance. But just a few meters away from the gate, a white light suddenly came out of a narrow window beside the gate, warningly exploding in front of Karasius.
At the same time, a vigilant voice sounded out of thin air: "Forbid to stay close!"
"We are high-ranking priests from the city of gods!" Karasius stood immediately and shouted, "We are not malicious, we just want to find a place to stay, and ask some things by the way!"
"City of Divine Dependence?" The voice in the church hesitated for a moment. Obviously surprised and skeptical at this answer, he quickly asked, "In front of the goddess' sanctuary, lies will bring about tenfold Penalty! Are you really from the city of gods? "
Karrasius is a little baffled: "Is there anything wrong with the city of the gods? I am Karasuus, the high bishop of the Iconostasis. If you do n’t believe it, you can check the list of high-level priests in your library , I am standing here, you can compare the portraits on the list! "
The voice in the church hesitated for a while, and became more severe: "The city of the gods has long been ... how can there be any high-level priests coming out of this time!"
"What happened to the city of the gods ?!" Karasius was startled. He heard the creepy message from the other party's words, "What do you mean?"
The people in the church did n’t answer, but questioned: “You do n’t even know this? Then your identity is even more suspicious.”
"No, we did come from the city of the Deity, but we have been there for more than a month," Karasius knew that the situation might exceed his expectations, and quickly explained, "We were under the Pope ’s Crown more than a month ago. Pro-order, from the city of Shenjuan to the investigation team of Ansu mainland, our travels are documented, the investigation team encountered an accident in Ansu mainland, so that it only returned today ... "
"Investigation team?" The people in the church seemed to finally believe a little bit, "It seems that this is indeed the case ... But it is said that the investigation team encountered a storm before it reached Ansu mainland. The last news was their emergency alarm communication. Have you escaped? "
It seems that the Sanctuary investigation is not a secret here, and the people in the church are also priests who have a certain position in the church system. He even knows these things.
"Goddess Bless," Karasius could n’t help chanting, “We got the help of a local leader. We were lucky to survive the Chaos Storm, but we lost the hammer of the Holy Light, so we were with the Holy Land. Contact was severed and the rescued message could not be sent back. "
The people in the church were silent for a while, and seemed to be thinking. After a moment, they said, "You do n’t look like the nightmare ’s claws. Wait a minute, I ’ll inform the bishop, you do n’t want to break into the church-there is no difference in church The defense has been turned on, and unauthorized intrusion will be attacked. "
Then the voice quieted down, and the Hao Ren line waited patiently outside. After a few minutes, they heard footsteps coming from behind the gate.
There was a faint glimmer of light on the door of the church. A defensive circle covering the entire building opened a gap. The door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a white robe with a wide face appeared at the door.
The middle-aged man looked at the people standing at the door. He noticed that several of the men led by Karasius were wearing the costumes of the priests and combatants of the Holy Land, but the clothing armor was mostly damaged, which was in line with the other party ’s The description of the crash of the Holy Hammer, but the Hao Ren, Lily, and Ansan who stood next to Karasius were a bit puzzled.
Do n’t say they ’re dressed differently from the Holy Land. Even in the secular kingdom, they can be considered strangely dressed. Although the dark cloak and hood are slightly better, throwing them on the street is also easy to alarm. Typical ...
"They are from Ansu mainland," now the situation is unknown, even if these survivors hiding in the church may not be completely trustworthy, even if they can trust, there is no guarantee that there are no dark minions near the church, So Karasius carefully considered what should be revealed, "The messengers of the kingdom of Taros, I can guarantee their reliability. Can we go in now?"
Middle-aged man gave way to reveal the dimly lit assembly hall: "Come in, before the second nightmare has yet to begin."
The crowd stepped into the church, and Karasius frowned at the dizzy hall, which was originally a place for worshippers and priests to worship. The lights were bright all year round, and the holy sound was lingering, but now all the lights seem to have been removed Going down, even the magical array at the top of the church remained silent, and the dim mitral pattern interweaves into obscure patterns on the vault of the hall, making the assembly hall gloomy and depressed.
Among the rows of benches, high-level monks saw many huddled figures.
It seems that the survivors hiding in the church are more unexpected?
"Why not turn on the light?" Hao Ren thought it was so dim in a shelter, so he asked casually.
The leading middle-aged man sighed: "The light in the dark will attract those unclean things, and our sacred crystal reserves are limited and cannot withstand much consumption."
Karusius glanced at the middle-aged monk: "What position do you hold in this church?"
"I am in charge of the archives of the Lun Cathedral, I am blessed by God, and is now an official priest," the middle-aged man replied, "You can call me Bernstein."
"Where is the regional bishop?"
"Bishop Holtzman and other asylum seekers were in the underground palace. The last time they resisted the nightmare, they were spiritually repulsed. Now they need to recuperate. The affairs on the ground are temporarily responsible. Of course, you can go to see him. . "
Carlaxus nodded slightly and stopped talking.
All doubts will be known after seeing the principal here. (To be continued.)
