Kuai Chuan Zhi becomes a boss in the collapsed world

Chapter 209 Night City
"Your Excellency, do you have any orders?" The knight commander who guarded the temple was awakened, and he stood aside respectfully and asked.

In the main hall where prayers are held, there stands a white-haired old man. The old man stares at the magnificent statue of the Creator God for a long time, lost in thought.

For a long time, there was a faint sigh, full of complicated emotions.

"She is coming."

"Your Excellency, who do you think is here?" The chief paladin muttered to himself when he heard the old man's endless words.

The high priest did not speak, he had always been a man of few words.

Early this morning, the high priest summoned all the students in the temple to inform him that he was about to abdicate, which caused a commotion among those youngsters.

Most of the children studying in the temple were in their youth, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and each of them had learned magic elements. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were already arrogant master magicians.

Only the paladins know that these children are just paper cubs, raised in an ivory tower, the last time the undercurrent

Before the children understood why the high priest abdicated early, they were already stunned by the next news.

With a solemn expression on his face, the high priest said to them: "The dark tide once every 20 years is coming."

The children said nonchalantly: "With you here, we will surely win."

All the residents of Dawn City who have already enlightened know such a thing, every 20 years there will be dark tides attacking the city.

The dark tide is a disaster where killing and despair coexist.

The reason why it is called the dark tide is that at this time, countless monsters will appear in the west of Dawn City, where there is a huge and steep abyss, and there are many monsters in it.

When the monsters attacked Dawn City together, they were densely packed like turbid black water, making one's scalp numb.

Undercurrent, this word is a curse in the eyes of the subjects, symbolizing misfortune and disaster.

These monsters like to eat human flesh, most of them are grotesque, and they look a bit like livestock and wild animals, but they are more terrifying than ferocious wild animals, because these monsters are impossible for ordinary people to kill, and only magicians have the ability to fight them .

And the most powerful magician in the city is the high priest of the temple, Reynolds Cullen.

The origin of Reynolds is very mysterious. He seems to have appeared in Aurora City out of thin air. In the past, Aurora City had only scattered magicians who had just awakened, so that every time the dark tide came, the unarmed people would be displaced and died in the monsters. under the attack.

It has been 1000 years since Dawn City was established. About 500 years ago, Reynolds suddenly appeared in Dawn City, organizing magicians to resist the dark tide and save the lives of the people. protect the people.

No one knew who he was, and the subjects only knew one thing, that only with the presence of the High Priest, Dawn City could enjoy long-term peace and stability.

The subjects lived and worked in peace and contentment, plowed in spring and harvested in summer, and had frequent business exchanges, all relying on the protection of the high priest.

Some people even chanted: "Your Excellency Reynolds is here, the dark monster is like a stray dog, no matter how hard it is, it won't be able to enter Dawn City."

The strength of the magicians is getting better and better, but the monsters seem to stand still forever.

Just like the little monsters in the Novice Village in the game, it’s still the same after swiping around. Everyone has a new understanding of monsters.

At this time, the dark tide is no longer a curse to people, and more people regard it as a custom passed down by word of mouth. According to the custom, the magicians defend the city bravely.

As usual, the monsters are knocked back.

As usual, there were no casualties.

As usual...

The people of Dawn City deify Reynolds into a kind of belief. Isn't there the High Priest here? What are the undercurrents afraid of?

Someone asked about the sacrificed knights and magicians, and those who had never been on the battlefield still had the heart to laugh: "Oh, you said this, very few."

"Those people must have been careless, their strength is not good, the undercurrent is so weak, isn't the monster knocked down by the High Priest?"

People hold him in awe, adoration, and admiration for the strong.

It seems to be far away from the tragic past, and the peaceful and peaceful days have given people an illusion that as long as the person in the temple is there, there is nothing to be afraid of.

One thing they didn't think about was what if Reynolds wasn't there?
What a terrible thing that would be.

With more and more magicians, a magician's guild was established. The honorary president of the guild is Lord Reynolds. Although he never participated in the affairs of the guild, the magicians have always respected him.

Reynolds has lived to be [-] years old, and ordinary magicians can live up to [-] years old. People think that Reynolds' longevity lies in his heart for the common people, maybe he is the incarnation of God.

So they spontaneously made sculptures for him, every household has a statue of Reynolds, and the people will pray in the morning.

Even though they never knew the character and past of His Excellency the High Priest, the people still regard Reynolds as a god. Sometimes Reynolds seems to have replaced the God they usually chanted, and they still have to read his name when encountering bad things .

The residents of Aurora City spontaneously sent their children to the Magicians Guild to test their talents. Reading is not so important. They want their children to be a glorious magician, preferably one that can serve in the temple.

That would be great, and all noble gentlemen will take a high look.

Children with excellent talents gather in the temple to get advice from Lord Reynolds. Reynolds occasionally teaches, but most of the time he is not in the temple. People can't find him and can only ask the paladins.

The paladin also wondered, there was no way for them to spy on the whereabouts of the high priest unless Reynolds informed him.

This morning, Lord Reynolds was restless after he came back, as if something big had happened.

Could it be that the big event you are talking about is an undercurrent?

Thinking of the dark tide, the paladin leader shuddered, and the battle he participated in when he was young appeared in his mind. It was really a sea of ​​corpses and blood, which was disgusting. Nothing bad will happen to them.

Your Excellency the Holy Knight is very confident, thinking a little proudly, the dark tide is nothing, there is powerful magic guarding the city, those monsters had better be sensible and disappear by themselves.

See, the gods are all looking after Dawn City, monsters don't want to step into the city, they have a great light magician - Lord Reynolds, every shot can wipe out a large number of monsters.

Even the knight commander thinks this way, let alone ordinary people, who are not prepared for danger at all. After staying in a comfortable environment for a long time, they feel that they will always be so safe.

"Cole, go to the Wizards' Guild and get them ready. This undercurrent is different from every previous attack..." Reynolds' wrinkled face showed a look of worry as if he was facing an enemy.

Cole didn't take it seriously, the high priest was just too strict, and he was ready for every undercurrent.

The knight commander, who was in his prime, already had a plump beer belly.

In the bustling and beautiful Shuguang City, dark clouds are shrouded in the sky, and the mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is full of buildings.
