The Dean Has Arrived Chapter 71: Blood-stained church
It's still cold in the spring night.
Although there is a stove in the castle guest room, it is not in winter after all, and Xiwei will not make a fire specially for heating.
He was lying on the soft double bed wrapped in a thick quilt, looking at the curtain on the top of the bed, not knowing what he was thinking.
Today Teo did not come to his room, but slept next door with Alyssa. Apart from being used to living in this castle, probably they don’t want to let Sivi continue to sleep on the sofa because of their willfulness. .
Although the two little girls are too immature, both in behavior and thinking, there is only one thing that is beyond doubt-they are both good girls who can think about others.
Anyway, even if there is an accident, Xiwei who sleeps next door should be able to find it immediately and rush over, so he has nothing to worry about.
What really worries him is other things.
Judging from the intelligence from the wife of the lord brought back by the snooping insects not long ago, he unfortunately said that the wife of the lord received a remote communication magic for help in the noon-starting yesterday as the gate to the eastern plains Many orcs suddenly appeared outside the Fortress of Lawrence, and they began to attack the fortress.
The mage team of the Border Guard Corps also fell into a dilemma of being surrounded by many shamans because of the departure of several core personnel. In short, the situation is very bad.
It is precisely to prevent the fortress from falling, that the Grand Mage Sharon Lange left Holadur and set off for the Fortress of Lawrence.
The magicians who had finally arrived at Holadur didn’t even have time to take a break in the city to catch their breath. Because of the attack on the fortress, they had to turn around and set off again, and they began to rush back to the fortress. .
And the Holy See also had to organize a rescue team to rush to the battlefield, so the verdict on Wicklen could only be postponed.
In this way, the plan of the princess must also be postponed.
"Hey..." With a long sigh, Xiwei sat up from the bed. I don't know why he has been irritable and restless since the afternoon, always feeling as if something is going to happen.
The time now is about midnight from 10 to 11, but today's dungeon opportunities are all used up, and I can only wait for a while to get a dungeon.
He put on a robe, sat on the sofa and poured himself some water, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the room with the cup, and opened the glass window.
With the kind of cold wind that is peculiar to the spring night, although it is not bitter but also very piercing, Xiwei shivered, drinking a sip of steaming water, and looking at Holadur. Night view.
There are magic guides similar to electric lights in this world, but the energy consumption of that thing is not affordable for ordinary people. The lighting used by ordinary people at night is only candles or ordinary oil lamps, except for the kerosene lamps which are a bit like lanterns. NS.
Therefore, although Khoradur is the capital and economic center of Noegg, the night is not as beautiful as the small towns in Xiwei’s previous life... At least there is no feeling of brightly lit, compared to the night of the city. The uncertain galaxy is more beautiful and magnificent.
But at this time Xiwei looked a little strangely at a white building not far away.
That is the Cathedral of Holadur and the regional headquarters of the Holy See in Noege. Almost the entire church of Noege is from this church.
However, at this time, this magnificent building that looks like Milan’s Cathedral exudes a very strange wave.
This kind of fluctuation is very weak, and Sevi can't even tell whether this kind of fluctuation is a magical fluctuation-neither magical elements nor magic seem to have any response to this kind of fluctuation, so even a magician can hardly detect it. If it weren't for Xiwei's whim to watch the night scene, and the church is just on the other side of the castle, he might not have found it.
What made him more vigilant was that when he tried to perceive the fluctuations, the uneasy feeling in his heart increased.
just go and have a look.
Xiwei made a decisive decision. He put down the water glass and buttoned the buttons of his robe. At the same time, he directly activated the towing anchor to pull himself from the balcony to the door of the church.
Because he didn’t know what would happen, he didn’t plan to call Alyssa and Teo-even if they didn’t, it would not be a good thing to be found by the priests that someone had slipped into the church at night, if only he At least it’s more convenient to escape alone...
Honestly speaking, although Xiwei’s movement method is fast and efficient, it is not worthy of praise. Gale ruthlessly poured cold air into Xiwei’s robe, and waited until Xiwei switched magic to When the mage's hand caught him to prevent him from hitting the long stairs that are unique to the religious building, he felt that his body was about to be frozen unconsciously.
rubbed her hands and legs severely, while Xiwei worried that she might catch a cold or something, she cautiously walked to the door of the church.
There should be two temple guards who are equivalent to the magic swordsman at any time here, but at this moment, there is no one here.
This phenomenon makes Xiwei more certain that something has happened in this church.
The Holy See in this world is different from the Vatican that hides dirt in many online novels, and is the same as the black society. Although some lower priests also use various names to cheat money, no matter what No matter how they would not do things that are marked as taboo by doctrine-such as rape, alcoholism, killing innocent people in addition to sanctions, failing to save them when they can, etc.-because of their relationship with magicians. The magic is different. The magical energy of priests and priests like the "Holy Light" is derived from their own beliefs.
Incidentally, what they believe in is not the imaginary **** of light, but the more essential divine light.
When their actions violate the doctrine, the Holy Light will give them corresponding punishments, ranging from reduced strength to endangering lives.
That's why the clergy will be respected and trusted by everyone, at least don't worry about them stabbing you in the back.
In this regard, if Sevi can use magic to activate sacred magic, the magic school system may have violated the rules of the world to some extent.
In short, leaving your post while guarding the church is considered disrespectful to the divine light and will be punished to a certain extent. I think those temple guards have not been bold enough to this point, so what has happened in the church has been It's a certainty.
Although Xiwei himself does not want to be involved in any strange things, it is a bit too close to the castle of the lord of the city. If you leave it alone, it may affect the castle later.
used,'It will be Tio’s castle soon, so I can’t ignore it.' After convincing himself with such a reason, Sevi walked to the door on tiptoe, holding the dark night sky ball in one hand, ready to cast the spell at any time. One hand pushed the door hard.
Originally, he didn’t want to open the door so easily. Even if the church does not have the habit of locking the door at night, if there is someone doing shameful things inside, then he will definitely not open the door without locking it. Right?
The problem is that Xiwei pushed the door open without much hope...
"……"
I should thank those people in the church for oiling the door shafts on time, so I didn’t let them make ‘crunch’ and ‘squeaky’ sounds that would attract the other’s attention.
Xiwei laughed and laughed inwardly, then looked inside from the door.
The huge empty church is full of benches for the people to worship, and the walls are covered with various religious decorations. The high dome and the huge cross in front make the whole church have Created a mysterious religious atmosphere and a sense of solemnity and oppression.
At the front desk, a figure is standing there with his back to Xiwei. The moonlight passed through the stained glass in the dome, casting a cold light, shrouding the figure like a gauze.
But this picturesque scene has no beauty at all, because an unknown magic power is rising above that figure~ IndoMTL.com~ This kind of magic power that seems to be full of blood and cruelty will make the surrounding solemn It was completely destructive to the holy atmosphere, and the huge contrast made the front desk of the church a strange horror, and this effect was highlighted by a few corpses lying at the feet of that figure.
Although it is not very clear because of the relationship between the distance and the darkness of the environment, it can be distinguished from the approximate styles of the corpses that they were originally the clergy of the church.
Has the other party discovered themselves?
Xiwei gritted his teeth, and then activated the shadow servant of the dark night sky ball, letting a small, pitch-black thing blend into the surrounding gloomy environment, and tiptoedly approached him.
As long as you can get close to a certain distance and then suddenly attack, it will definitely attract the other party's attention, and then it will be Xiwei's chance to make a surprise attack.
Although it’s late at night and the main church has left Khoradur, the night watchman will certainly not be strong, but it’s not easy to get rid of them without disturbing anyone. ......At least the current Xiwei can't do it.
Therefore, the chances of winning in a head-on confrontation should be very small, and you can only try to make surprise attacks.
The success of the surprise attack is certainly a good thing. If it fails, it should be able to run away by relying on its own magic. At that time, it is also a way to lead the opponent to the Holadur branch of the Seven Luminaries Association.
However, before the shadow servant walked halfway, the opponent had already turned around and released an unidentified purple magic to shatter the shadow servant.
But in this way, Xiwei can also see clearly the face of the other party exposed to the moonlight.
"Wicklen...Green?"
