Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2753: Shadow of Paradise (7)

Chapter 2753 Shadow of Paradise (7)

"Dead, undead?" Elaine couldn't help stunned.

Elaine had a bad premonition when the Pope brought this up, but it was beyond his expectations to have him deal with the undead.

"That's right. The undead." Eugene IV nodded and said, "One of the most important port cities in Rome, Fononica, was attacked by some heretic forces a few days ago. The land was wiped out, but these stubborn heretics launched the evil necromancy before dying, turning the soldiers who died in the battle of Fononica into undead.

Originally, the mere undead, the church's exorcists should be able to exorcise them easily. However, this time the undead seem to be a little different. Their combat power is stronger than that of the soldiers who were alive, and they are still immortal. "

"Immortal... body?" Elaine asked suspiciously. Isn't this nonsense. Necromancer generally refers to a corpse awakened by a necromancer. It is originally a dead thing driven by magic, so it is naturally an immortal body, right? But why does the Pope specifically emphasize this? Could it be that the Necrons this time are different from ordinary Necrons?

"Ordinary undead are dispelled by the exorcist's miracles, and they will turn back into cold corpses, unable to move. Even without the miracles of the church, they can still be attacked with fire, and even cut off their hands and feet, making it impossible for them to move. They are incapacitated." Eugene IV said again, "but this time the undead are different. Not only are they stronger in combat, but they also ignore the miracles of the exorcists. Ignore the fire attack, even if the limbs are cut off. , these monsters can still connect their broken limbs and continue to move. In a sense, they are truly undead."

Awesome.

After parting with Arthur and his party, Elaine knew that Arthur and the others were going to the port of Fononica. The "heretics" in the Pope's mouth probably refers to Arthur and the others. He was probably entangled by the Pope's Knights when he arrived at the port, and he had no choice but to start fighting.

But undead? Elaine didn't know who in Arthur's group could use such powerful necromancy. Is it Master Merlin? Or Bedivere, who is a demon? In the original world nine hundred years ago, there were some rumors that King Arthur was a necromancer who could drive the dead on the battlefield. Shouldn't the necromancers entrenched in the port of Fononica really be created by King Arthur?

"This is no longer a necromancy technique that common sense can understand. Probably, there are very powerful necromancers on the pagan side, and they created this kind of necromantic warriors who are very knowledgeable." The Pope shook his head, looking It's really disturbing. "Originally, we should have dispatched the Pope Knights to suppress and use the power of angels to suppress the undead. However, the port of Fononica has attracted too much attention because of the necromancer's troubles for many days. It is inconvenient to send the Pope Knights to suppress it at such a time. After all, ordinary people cannot normally distinguish the difference between [angels] and [devils]. They only know how to judge people by their appearance, no, take angels.”

Elaine finally understood the Pope's intentions. To put it bluntly, it is because the people of the Pope's Knights can't use the holy stone to summon those ugly "angels" in front of everyone, so I hope Elaine's platinum lion can do it for you to eliminate the death entrenched in the port of Fononica. spirit.

"Because, because I'm not a member of the church, it's okay to be seen...Is that so?" Elaine pretended to be stupid.

"Probably this is the case." The Pope replied without a smile: "And this is also Dr. Joffrey's first battle -- no -- this is the first battle of this angel. He It must have been a great inspiration for the knights of the church."

It's almost like a show.

"Speaking of which, how should I honor this angel?" Eugene IV looked at the platinum lion: "Your Excellency just called him [Leo], so------"

"Reno," Elaine replied. Although he knew that the Platinum Lion of the Holy Spirit was born from his prayer and was the shadow of Leopold, he always felt that it was a blasphemy to Leopold to call the Platinum Lion "Leo". , so he just changed the name of the platinum lion to "Renault", which is homophonic to Leo.

"Lord Reynolds, the power angel. Is that so?" The Pope said, "It really is the embodiment of God's virtue and courage. Such a virtuous and heroic person lives up to the name of a power angel."

"Angel of power...?" Elaine knew almost nothing about religion, and the Pope could only casually echo what he said.

It's just a political show anyway. They like to give the platinum lion what name, what kind of angel halo, and they can do as they please.

"But, but, is it really alright?" Elaine asked worriedly: "I'm finished, I can't fight at all... If I let Reno, who just arrived, fight... ..."

Elaine doesn't even know what the Platinum Lion's abilities are, let alone how powerful it is. Is it really good to let the Holy Spirit Platinum Lions fight like this?

"The battle angels summoned by the Holy Stone are very powerful, you don't have to worry about that." The Pope said confidently: "As for how strong he can be, you will know when you fight in Fononica. ."

"This..." A drop of sweat appeared on Elaine's forehead: "What should you do, Lord Cardinal?"

"Do you need to stay at the Vatican every day to see him?"

"No, no... He has been vaccinated and his condition has been brought under control. After that, he will be vaccinated about once a week, and he will recover within a month." Elaine replied. .

"Very good." The Pope said: "Then you rush to Fononica with the Pope's Knights, get things done as soon as possible, and come back within a week."

"Um, um..." Elaine agreed despite being reluctant. Now it's time to obey all the Pope's demands and gain the trust of the church's people.

King Arthur should be fine, right? Although the Pope said that the "heretics were solved", Elaine couldn't imagine how King Arthur would lose. Arthur and his party probably escaped successfully, leaving a bunch of difficult undead for the church to deal with. How many days have passed, even the necromancers who stayed in Fononica have caused a headache for the church, and it is even more impossible for Arthur to be "solved".

Is it King Arthur's plan to keep the Necromancers in Fononica against the Church? So will Elaine's clearing of the dead in the past disrupt King Arthur's plan?

No, never mind. Right now, the most important thing is to gain the trust of the church. King Arthur should also understand Elaine's difficulties. Maybe King Arthur didn't think about it that much at all, and just let the necromancers save them from the pursuit of the church after Fononica just broke them off?

Two days later, the port city of Fononica.

"Wow." Elaine watched the undead wandering on the pier from a distance from the side of the city with binoculars. Those guys were wearing the armor of the Knights of the Pope and the Holy See Crusaders, and they were supposed to be the people who died fighting the Church on the dock. But these people have been turned into necromancers by necromancy, still wandering slowly on the uninhabited pier in broad daylight, just like the guards of the underworld. The pier was full of coke and rubble, and it was dilapidated. It seemed that the pier had indeed experienced a fierce battle and fire, and Arthur and his party had done it hard enough.

"The necromancers have been on the docks for at least a week." Knight Captain Marcus, who was in charge of guarding Elaine, said, "Unbelievable. How necromancy can manipulate the undead over long distances for so long. ."

"...far, far?"

"Sorry, I'm wrong." Marcus, who knew he was leaking, immediately changed his tune: "I mean, after the group of heretics fell under the law, the undead were able to act on their own without a controller. so long."

It's not that the statement is wrong at all, Arthur and his party must have escaped from Fononica long ago. Elaine was overjoyed. But this is to be expected.

...just clean up this mess next time?

"No, you'll be fine if you don't get close to them?" Elaine asked again. The necromancers entrenched on the pier seemed to have no intention of invading the town, and they just wandered slowly on the pier.

"It seems so. But because of them, the function of the port is completely paralyzed. As a result, it is necessary to clear them and retake the port." Marcus added: "There were several groups of soldiers and exorcists who were not afraid of death before wanting to go. Deal with the undead, but as soon as they attack, the undead will fight back. Not only did the soldiers fail to expel half of the undead, they were killed."

It's miserable. A group of big living people can't even beat dozens of undead warriors...

Since necromancers are driven by spells and magic, it stands to reason that as long as time passes, the magic on their bodies will be exhausted one day, and then they will turn back into corpses. But it's been a week, and the undead are still entrenched at the dock, and those who want to retrieve the church at the dock as soon as possible are probably desperate. They didn't have the patience to wait for the undead to stop moving on their own before launching waves of reckless attacks. The results are naturally tragic ~IndoMTL.com~ It is the turn of spring and summer, the temperature is hot, and the port city is very humid. The stinking corpses that lay on the harbor, toasted dry by the fierce sunlight, were the corpses of the soldiers who had attacked recklessly. In contrast, the corpses that were turned into necromancers were completely uncorrupted, still retaining the state of the day they were killed.

...It can also be embalmed, what a powerful necromancy.

Elaine has heard that after high concentrations of photons are injected into the organism, the cells of the organism can indeed resist the erosion of bacteria. In short, even bacteria can't attack organisms with high concentrations of magic. This is also a prerequisite for the long-term preservation of special weapons made from the corpses of monsters or dragons in Elaine's world.

Those undead warriors on the pier must have been endowed with powerful magic, so that they will always maintain this incorrupt appearance.

So the church's offense isn't entirely wrong either. It seems that, let alone a week, a month, or even a few months, these necromancers will continue to be entrenched on the dock.

Awful. There is really such a strong necromancy in the world.
