The Last Apostle Chapter 61: The bottom of the church
While Du Yuqi made a breakthrough in swordsmanship, the Holy Church also delivered the golden sacrament. This thing is about a palm-sized box, surrounded by a layer of transparent plastic, containing a silver plate, with a small silver statue of an angel standing upright on the edge of the plate, which looks like a handle. In the center of the plate is the refined golden sacrament, about the size of a quail egg, with a soft light shining on it. Regardless of the taste, the appearance is very good.
After resting for about an hour, Du Yuqi was invited by Wu Nian, and was led to walk a lot of winding roads in the church, almost dizzy, and finally arrived In an underground meeting room, there are more than a dozen silver angel candlesticks, with butter candles on them, burning blazingly, illuminating the meeting room very brightly.
At this time, there were already about twenty people sitting in the meeting room. Lin and FIRE, who Du Yuqi knew, were all present, and their expressions seemed to be a little serious. After waiting for a few minutes, the red clothes flashed at the door. Seliu had already walked in quickly, saluted everyone slightly, then sat down beside him, and raised his chin to a priest next to him as a signal.
When Du Yuqi saw this, his heart sank. The situation seemed to be a little bit wrong. If a top figure like Richelieu came to the scene in person, it could only show that the situation had deteriorated to a worse level than he had imagined! Although he knew that the reward from the Holy Church was not easy to get, he didn't expect the difficulty factor to be so high!
At this time, I listened to the priest slowly saying:
"I don't want to hide it from everyone. The Minsk Church is now in a very dangerous situation. The reason behind this must be known to many people here. It is because of the sacredness that protects us. The enchantment is fading."
"And why did our sacred barrier fade? After a series of investigations, it was discovered that a traitor had infiltrated the temple and entered the restricted area stipulated by the law. He actually carried a powerful The ancient abyss invitation letter of evil power opened the abyss party in the depths of the temple! Our request to everyone is to clean up these evils and purify the filth below the temple, and then the enchantment will automatically restore .”
Suddenly someone asked:
"Isn't purification the best thing for paladins? Now that the enemy is not attacking, you can send dozens of paladins casually to do this. Why do you need to spend a lot of money? Do you want us to go? Is the danger below far beyond your assessment?"
The priest shook his head and said:
"That's not the case. The enemy came here premeditatedly and prepared, so when we realized something was wrong, the abyss party had already been carried out to a very perfect level. The place has already shown a half-split independent space state. In this case, it is impossible to send too many people, otherwise it will accelerate the degree of space split and completely cause the sacred barrier to fail. According to the current evaluation From the looks of it, at most a dozen or so people can only be sent in, and anything can happen inside."
"So, when the number of people is limited and you don't know much about the specific situation, it is best to make up the team with a variety of occupations. There will be no feeling of being unable to adapt and being helpless, so the entire team that enters must obtain the optimal configuration. Everyone present here is a strong person selected by us. They all have extraordinary achievements in their own fields and should be able to Complete this task."
At this time, another person said loudly:
"Since the abyss party that appeared is directly under the church, you should have a considerable understanding of it, right? So we need relevant information, the more detailed the better, is it interesting to hide it now? ?”
Hearing this person's questioning, the priest also seemed to be troubled, and hesitated for a while before saying:
"We will definitely not stay out of the party entering the abyss this time, so we will still host the matter with the Holy Church. At that time, the team will be led by four paladins. They will know all the information and intelligence. If you have any questions, please contact them. Alright."
Obviously, such an answer is of course unsatisfactory, and even Du Yuqi shook his head slightly---just kidding, needless to say, the changes in the depths of the temple must be extremely dangerous. In this case, even simple information should be of great help, and it might even determine a person's life or death. The priest wants to send them away with such a light sentence. How is this possible?
Seeing that the surroundings are already raging, if you don't give a specific statement for a while, all your previous efforts will be wasted. Archbishop Lisalius can only sigh, stand up, and press your hands:
"In fact, this matter is not that we deliberately conceal it, but it is related to the reputation of the Holy Church. We also understand your concerns. Therefore, if you want to know the details, you must make a solemn oath not to leak it out. Just do it."
After the archbishop finished speaking, a hoarse voice immediately said:
"I am willing to swear, but you must also send me the complete information. If you fight in a situation where everything is unclear, you will not be reconciled even if you die."
Du Yuqi seemed a bit unfamiliar with the voice, but when she looked back, she realized that it was Lin's friend FIRE, whose Dongfang name was Hai Long. He took the lead, and the rest of the people immediately expressed their opinions, obviously agreeing with what he said. , and then began to swear in a hurry.
After hearing this, Archbishop Lisarius nodded slightly, then turned and walked out, followed by priests and others, and then a group of ascetic monks filed in and distributed the materials one by one to the Everyone, of course, Du Yuqi also got a copy.
This piece of information is a small book, and its name is four characters, called "The Bottom of the Temple".
The source of faith in the church is the holy light, but the holy light is an illusory existence after all. Therefore, when it was first established, the bones and relics of the saints in the church were enshrined and buried, and then buried on top Build an altar for worship.
Such a tangible existence is more conducive to the gathering of believers and the development of the sect, so it has been vigorously promoted, and even the church will acquiesce, and even promote this kind of worship of the sacred bone.
However, things gradually changed. Believers also have their own ideas. They began to feel that the surroundings of the holy bones can also achieve the same effect of protecting ordinary souls, so believers who have the conditions want themselves or their relatives. They were also buried around the altar.
It is not surprising that believers have such an idea, because even on the earth, the grass outside the Western church and the surrounding area of the Eastern Buddhist temple are also recognized as the best burial areas. If you don't have a very strong relationship or pay a high price, then don't even think about having a place there.
Under this concept, the Minsk Church also suffers from such troubles, and it is built in the middle of the city. The wish of the believers, therefore, the whole, under the Minsk Church, is a huge cemetery. In the long hundreds of years, more than 300,000 people have been buried below to rest in peace!
There is a saying that where there is light, there must be shadows, and light and darkness are always attached to each other, and the two can never exist alone. Down below, undead creatures such as ghosts and resentful spirits often appear, but they only appear sporadically, and are quickly purified by the priests.
It's just that the traitor seemed to have planned it for a long time, so he sneaked into the cemetery below and opened the abyss party. Under the influence of the abyss party, a terrifying mutation appeared in the cemetery, almost turning into For Ghost Domain!
At the same time, in the deepest part of the cemetery, there is a sealed gate. When it is turned on, a large number of terrifying monsters will emerge, and even the entire Shatley City may be destroyed at that time.
This is not alarmist talk. Tragic incidents in which the Sealed Gate went out of control and swallowed up a small town happened frequently, and it happened many times in history.
Therefore, the task of this group of them is very arduous, not only to purify and kill the resurrected undead creatures in the cemetery one by one, but also to destroy and close the sealed door, and at the same time, to completely open the sealed door. The time is probably only five or six hours left, and the time is quite tight.
And there are extremely powerful awakened people sitting in the Minsk Holy Church, why don't they send out the awakened ones?
It is because the Sealed Gate has passed its initial infancy at this time, and its spiritual tentacles have spread all over the surroundings. It can not only continuously absorb the surrounding Yin Qi to grow, but also sense the entire tomb. movement among them.
So, for the Sealed Gate that already has an early warning awareness, once the awakened person enters the huge cemetery at the bottom of the temple, they will immediately sense its arrival. When the enemy has a chance of winning, the Sealed Gate will immediately take emergency measures, reckless and full-scale outbreak, so that the situation will be completely corrupted.
Obviously, such a brazen outburst is undoubtedly unacceptable to the Holy Church, because in this case, the insider will be fine, and the uninformed will spread it everywhere, saying that it is Minsk St. Under the hall, a large number of undead creatures and monsters appeared. It turned out that they were upright on the surface, but they were actually filthy!
Actually, if this cemetery, where more than 300,000 people were buried, was moved to other places, without the guardianship of the Minsk Holy Church, the number of undead creatures produced over the past few hundred years would be a hundred times, a thousand times Yes, but things like rumors are spread ten to ten times, and if a false statement is uttered by a thousand people, it may become true. Therefore, the Holy Church simply cannot afford such a crisis of reputation.
However, for the Sealed Gate, fresh and powerful flesh is also the most nourishing food for it, bar none. Therefore, it does not actually exclude outsiders from entering its territory, provided that the strength of these incoming enemies is below the critical point of its acquiescence.
So under such circumstances, there is an obvious ceiling in the strength of the fighters who enter the bottom of the sanctuary. If they exceed this ceiling, they will hit their heads, and they can only be directly dropped by PASS .
The church has repeatedly determined that this ceiling should be the base of the fourth-level strength, and the total number of people sent in at the same time cannot exceed fifteen people. At the same time, with the growth of the sealing door itself, its critical point is also With continuous improvement, it is very likely that after another three hours, fighters above the fourth level will be allowed to enter, but that time is too rushed.
At the same time, this "Bottom of the Temple" seems to have been written a long time ago. It not only draws out the topographic map of the giant cemetery under the Minsk Cathedral in detail, Even the information about some undead monsters that may appear in it is clearly written, only the description about the sealed door is newly added.
When Du Yuqi saw this, he immediately understood that even without the Sealed Door incident, the ascetic monks were often sent to clean up the cemetery in the church, so this "Under the Altar" booklet should be distributed It is used by ascetic monks, so the credibility of the above information is very high.
After carefully reading the booklet again, he beckoned to the ascetic monk next to him and asked him to take him to the previous priest, saying that he had something very important to talk to him about. .
Du Yuqi's request was quickly satisfied, and the priest quickly came forward to meet him alone, and politely asked Du Yuqi what request he had,
Du Yuqi said solemnly:
"It's like this~IndoMTL.com~ The task of going to the cemetery this time is very difficult. My friends seem to be more in line with your requirements. With their participation, the probability of successfully completing the task can be increased by at least several. Percentage points, can the priest recommend it to the higher ups?"
After listening to Du Yuqi's words, the priest shook his head and refused without hesitation:
"No."
Du Yuqi sighed. He is a person who is good at observing words and emotions. The priest directly rejected his proposal without hesitation. This is enough to show that the success rate is very small, but Du Yuqi still said unwillingly: /
"Why?"
The priest hesitated for a moment, then said simply:
"If it's someone else, I'll just tell him that it's not okay, but you have already proved your loyalty to the Holy Church, so I will tell you that we have also considered all the friends you recommended , but failed to pass the primary election, because the influence of this matter is too great, so big that if it is leaked, it will affect the foundation of the church..."
