Chapter 75 The Sealed Sanctuary

The gate made of oak is added by a metal spell. After the protection, the color of brass appeared.

After a hoe, a woodcutter, or any other tool that should not be used for killing was knocked on it outside the door, there was a heavy echo of “bang bang”, and the survivors who were hiding in the hall at the moment were scalped. tingling.

Why is this happening?

Should I have chosen to leave in the first place?

Wurther thought to himself as he touched the spell medium against the gate to release the [Gate of Brass].

But…this is the Sealed Temple…why did the Holy Spirit Church even give up the Sealed Temple?

Thinking of this, Würth, who found that his thoughts had crossed the line a bit, fiercely shook the head, and threw out the thoughts that should not have been in his mind.

The Temple of the Seal is an important part of the strength of the Holy Spirit Church, or perhaps the most important part.

Generally, each Great Sect area will have two or three branch halls, and there are about 30 branch halls distributed in all corners of the entire continent.

The clergy who seal the temple are not responsible for any mission, sacrament, sacrifice, baptism, etc. In fact, their existence is semi-secret, and the overwhelming majority do not even know about the sealing the existence of the temple.

The responsibility of the Sealed Temple is to ensure that the church’s teachings are not distorted – of course, this is only a public statement. In essence, the Sealed Temple is a violent institution rooted in the place where the church’s authority shines. , to assert the authority of the Church in a less “merciful” way.

In short, they need to be responsible for imprisoning and interrogating the disseminators of various heresies, intelligence gathering in various places, sealing and management of sacred relics, and maintaining large-scale Transmission Formation duties.

The lords of various places who hold secular power are not actually looking forward to seeing such an armed force that will not listen to their own dispatch. Therefore, except for cities like Baicheng City or Wanren City, which are centers of faith, the overwhelming majority local seal temples are only allowed to be built in the countryside or small towns. They are generally not too close to the core city, and of course not too far away. Far.

For example, the Seal Temple, which is responsible for various affairs of the northern parish of Blackwater Province, is located in a small town called Hongquan Town, about 80 kilometers away from Thorn City, the political and economic center of Blackwater Province.

It was built underground under the cover of the Holy Spirit Church in the center of the town.

This place is supposed to be the uncrowned king of the entire northern parish of the Blackwater Province, and any work the Holy Spirit Church wants to do in the northern part of the Blackwater Province should not be bypassed here.

It should be…

But what is the problem?

A loud “bang” came from outside the door. This time the things outside the door seemed to roll a very heavy big guy over and hit the door.

This time, even the guarded door showed slight cracks.

Wheel? or something else?

“Roy, try activating the communication array again, maybe it’s just a temporary malfunction.”

Wurter, who felt the pressure gradually increased, turned around, He said to the woman who was sitting in the corner and bandaging the wound with one hand and teeth.

“You’ve been saying that since two weeks ago. It doesn’t take two weeks for the church to rebuild a communications array.”

That lip didn’t matter. The bloody woman named Roy said weakly, then she clenched her teeth and tied the bandage, and after a few painful gasps, she continued:

“It’s useless, the church has given up this land. Now, our last chance to leave here was half a year ago. If you wanted to… Forget it, it’s too late to say anything now. Instead of relying on the church to send reinforcements, you might as well expect the few people who ran out to reach Thorn. City sent troops to reinforce the Scorch Sage…”

“Try to activate the communication array again, this time directly use my authority to contact the Devil Burial Agency.”

Wool Te ignored the other party’s analysis, but took a key with a seven-pointed star embossed from his neck and threw it to the woman named Roy.

“With such a large-scale Moon Realm monster active and such a large-scale spread of heresy beliefs, the Holy Spirit Church is impossible and will leave it alone.”

Wurter added. With the increase of his own magic power output, the brass color on the oak gate became more intense.

The sound of knocking outside the door also became much duller.

Roy took the key sighed.

It is different from Wurth, who was adopted by the church as a child and whose faith is rock-solid.

Roy grew up in a slum, and converted to the Holy Spirit church just to make a living. She deep in one’s heart has no belief in Holy Spirit, but she is very clear about “being used” or “abandoned”.

From her point of view, apart from wearing higher hats and being more refined when eating with knives and forks, the leaders of the church and the gangsters in the lower city are actually more elegant. There is no essential difference.

Those gangsters often talk about loyalty and dignity when they fool their men to die, while the church executives talk to you about faith and devotion.

Don’t listen to what the other party promises you, but look at what the other party is doing. This is Roy’s standard for judging a person’s reliability.

So in recent years, the Holy Spirit Church has continuously withdrawn the executors of this sealed temple, transferred the sealed sacred relic, stopped regular defense array maintenance, transferred the detained prisoners… all of this Her behavior made her feel very uneasy.

And this unease came to a head when the Holy See at Platinum City appointed Wurth as the Chief-In-Charge of the Sealed Temple—indeed, Wurth’s faith in the Holy Spirit was at its highest here. Devout, maybe the rest of the others combined are less religious than him. But as the Chief-In-Charge of the temple, it is not possible to solve problems by piety, especially some problems that need to be solved by more realistic means…

“The Holy See explained that, before Those arrangements are mainly due to financial problems, and they will give priority to the resources here to the Platinum Province, and in the future we need to rely on the church here to develop on our own.”

Wu returned from the meeting in Platinum City. That’s what Walter told her.

“Relying on the powerless church in Blackwater Province to defend himself to develop the Sealed Temple? Or let you be responsible?”

Roy almost laughed out loud, which was obviously Leave a shelf to seal the temple for a fool who won’t have any complaints to maintain it temporarily.

As an abandoned child, he was completely abandoned by the church.

That’s what she thought at the time.

But this time, even she misestimated the degree of “abandonment”.

More than a month ago, the visit of the Holy Relic Recycler from Eighth Order rekindled her confidence, but the woman didn’t make any waves afterward.

Then came the wave of the dead in the Thorn City Necropolis more than two weeks ago and the eighth Holy Spirit apparition event.

After Würth reported the information to the headquarters of the Sealed Temple in Platinum City, the entire communication array was disabled the next day.

And here it is.

Hungry Lady Worship Order, Puffy Church.

Not long ago, those Moon Realm admirers disguised themselves as traders, and in their in front of one’s eyes sold the bread that had been “blessed” by the Moon Realm to the residents of Red Spring, and Last night, half of the town’s residents were turned into bloated corpses.

Wurther directed the few clergymen in the Sealed Temple to rescue some of the surviving residents and evacuated here, but it also exposed the hidden underground temple. Hundreds of walking corpses covered with bright fungi were knocking on the door outside.

All of them are trapped here.

Using the key to open the iron door with the 3rd-layer magic Formation, Roy walked into the musty dungeon.

She didn’t communicate with the array as Wurth said, wasting her time trying to contact the Demon Burial Agency or some other church department.

She wants to live.

Therefore, she went directly to the place where the heretic felons were held in the Sealed Temple.

Since the current battle strength of the Sealed Temple is not enough, then use the prisoners here to supplement it.

Although the prisoners here can’t add any battle strength.

Originally, most of the felons detained here were heretical mages or Moon Realm worshippers. So far, there is only one prisoner left in the entire dungeon.

This man claims to be a prophet, a human spokesperson chosen by a great being.

And a few days ago, he had predicted what would happen today, but no one believed him at the time.

Roy took out the key and knocked on the doorway engraved with various blockades:

“Your prophecy has been verified. The crisis will come to us all. But why don’t you just make it clear that the Puffy Order is going to summon the corpse in this town? You have to say ‘wheat eats people, rotting buds’ and other riddles Is it?”

“I’m just in charge of relaying the prophecy, and it’s not my job to interpret it. And that’s what prophecy is. Before the fact, you have countless directions to interpret, and people will always choose The direction you want to believe.”

After hearing Roy’s words, a man’s voice sounded, getting closer and closer to the prison door.

“And after the unexpected fact happened, they will think deeply about other possibilities of the prophecy. Then they will suddenly realize, and then they will start to regret, ah, I did not obey the arrangement of the prophecy. , I misunderstood the meaning of the prophecy… People will only complain that their understanding is wrong, not to blame the knower of the prophecy.”

A man as pale as a drowned man The man appeared on the observation port of the prison door, his cheeks were thin, and his jet-black hair was sticking to his forehead as if soaked in oil.

“…Forget it, I’m not here to discuss your riddle-like prophecy. There are probably thousands of bloated walking corpses surrounding the gate of the Sealed Temple. It is estimated in this form. It won’t take long for them to break through the door and come in. Our battle strength is seriously lacking. I read your files before, you seem to be a poisonous snake magic caster with an expert title, So you should be proficient in transforming and metal spells, right?”

Roy said while observing the expression on the other’s face.

Unfortunately, the expression on the other party’s face did not change in the slightest.

Roy continued:

“I need you to help reinforce the gate, and then try to hold out as much as possible until Thorn City finds the problem here and send reinforcements, is it okay? “

In response, the man shook his head and said:

“I don’t see any benefit I can get from helping you.”

“Then you will be a little bit better.” Aren’t you worried about those bloated corpses rushing in and swallowing you alive?”

Roy asked strangely.

“Relax, I’m not like you mortals. I won’t die until my destiny is fulfilled.”

The man who calls himself a prophet is so replied.

It’s this set again…

Roy thought helplessly, it’s too hard to communicate with this group of people who have been suffocated by belief, it seems that he is The only one who is seriously trying to survive.

“Okay, okay, let me know if you have any conditions.”

But now I can’t take care of that much, Roy directly opened the mouth and said.

“I want freedom, of course you can’t limit me, and I have to take one thing from your sacred relic room.”

The man said.

“The sacred relic room? Almost all the stuff in there has been moved. I can’t guarantee that the stuff you want is still in there.”

Roy replied.

“No, what I want is definitely still in there.”

The man said in a very positive tone.

“That’s fine… If it’s really gone, then I’ve reminded you before, so I’ll open the door and let you out now.”

Roy said , the other party hearing this nod.

She opened the door and asked casually:

“You just said you won’t die until you fulfill your destiny, so what is your destiny?”

p>

The man replied solemnly:

“Let my Lord return to completeness.”

Sure enough, he is another person who is suffocated by faith…

Roy thought to herself, and then she asked:

“So who is your lord?”

With a “click”, the prisoner in the cell The door opened, and the man bent down and walked out.

He was surprisingly tall and his skeleton looked very large, but perhaps because of the time he spent in prison, he was skinny and skinny, and his limbs were as slender as bamboo poles. A gust of wind could knock him down.

“I cannot name his name because he is hidden, and anyone who knows his existence will be excommunicated if he speaks his name.”

Watching The other party’s serious expression, Roy smiled and said:

“Is it so exaggerated? It feels like the Void King doesn’t have such a big frame, right?”

The man shouted the head. :

“That’s because the Void Kings always want to expand their realm, so they are happy to let the world know of their existence. And our Lord is just the opposite, His mystery is destined to only be There are only a few people who can listen, and His existence is destined to be known only to a few people… But it’s okay to tell you what we call ourselves as His followers, because we usually incarnate on the night of the storm as an ominous figure with dark wings. Bird gathering, so we will call ourselves…”

“Crows.”
