Chapter 833
Jerusalem, inside a Gothic castle.
It was a large library, with bookshelves in half of the area, and at the end of the room, an altar.
On the left and right sides of the room were two rows of candles as thick as children's arms, and the flames cast the shadow of the altar on the ground, flickering. On the altar is a long wooden box with the lid wide open. On top of the velvet in the center of the box, a pair of white wings lay quietly.
Two rows of people knelt neatly on either side of the wooden box, chanting chants softly in their mouths.
Some of them wore medieval knightly armor, while others wore monk's robes, and their foreheads were pressed against the ground, looking extremely religious.
"Ulysses ......"
Not far behind the two rows of people stood two men dressed as knights, looking side by side at the members of the group who prayed devoutly www.bequge.xyz in front of them, one of them turned his head and sighed softly: "Ulysses, half a year has passed since San Gattuso died. But until now, there have been no new saints among us......"
"My point is, we don't need to worry about that, Lucius. Ulysses shook his head slowly: "It's not everyone who can get divine revelation. Only the most devout will be favored by the Lord to give him revelation. What's more, in the 700-year history of our Knights, there have only been four saints. San Gattuso has just received the revelation, and I don't think that in just half a year, there will be a next saint among us.
And even without the presence of saints, as long as we have angelic wings at hand, we will not fear any opponent. What's so upset about you?"
"But this time...... It's different!" Lucius's brow furrowed tightly, "Ulysses, I always feel ...... San Gattuso's death was very wrong. St. Mark and St. Trancy both lived to be more than 200 years old and naturally died. And the only St. Canaan who died unnaturally was given by the head of the Thorn Flower Cluster, the damned Chen......
This time, San Gattuso and Mene's former head died in the dungeon, which should never have happened! Whether it was the monsters in the dungeon, or the game participants of the other opposing factions...... Who can kill a saint?
Unless it's ......"
"I understand what you're worried about, the question is...... Mene is also dead, and we will never know what happened in that copy. Ulysses sighed softly: "But at least I want to...... It can't be Chen. β
"How do you know it's impossible?" Lucius frowned.
"First, after that attack on Zero City, Tatsumi disappeared. We've also been in contact with other players who had participated in the Battle of Zero City at the time in other dungeons, and the answer we got was that Tatsumi never appeared again. Even the interior of the Thorn Cluster is split. If it was really Chen who got out of trouble, then the first person he would be looking for trouble would be those traitors from the Starfall team. But more than half a year has passed now, and those guys are still alive and well. So, Tatsu must not have reappeared in this world yet. Ulysses waved his hand: "Second, you shouldn't forget how we got the holy relics in our hands back, right?"
"It's Chen...... Give it back to us. Lucius's voice was a word at a glance that came out of his throat.
"It's a shame to say, but ......," Ulysses said with a helpless wry smile on his face: "It's true. Tatsu killed St. Canaan and took our relics, only to return them to us decades later. To put it mildly, this is already something he doesn't like. So, we don't have to worry about him coming back to grab it again......"
"But what if ......" Lucius gritted his teeth, "what if it wasn't Chen who killed San Gattuso?"
"There will be no such possibility. Ulysses shook his head slowly: "Saints are those who have been inspired by God and favored by the Lord God, except for the demon Chen......"
Bang!!!!!!
Before Ulysses could finish his sentence, he heard a dull thud, and two huge door panels flew up.
The tall bookcase was smashed by the door panel and collapsed like dominoes. Thousands of books that had accumulated dust all year round fell all over the floor, kicking up dust all over the room.
"What people!"
Ulysses and Lucius both drew their Cross Knight swords at the same time, and at the same time released two shields of holy light on their bodies, staring warily at the door.
Behind him, everyone who was kneeling on the ground and praying sincerely and chanting the hymn also immediately stood up and prepared for battle.
Dust filled the library, and only the light outside the door could be seen, outlining a figure who was slowly walking in from the doorway, but the costume and face could not be seen clearly.
Both grunted at the same time and swallowed.
The entire building is the stronghold of the Knights of the Holy City, and this library and the innermost altar are located in the very core.
After regaining the relics, all members of the Order, depending on their rank, could enter the room where the altar was located to comprehend the relics in the hope of receiving divine revelation, but the outer guards did not relax for a moment.
But now, the enemy has broken directly into the library, and the people in the library have not received even any warning!
The team channel was quiet, and there was no movement.
What kind of enemy is this!
The figure walked forward step by step, and finally gradually revealed its face.
A black-haired Oriental teenager with a harmless smile on his face, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, with his empty hands, took nothing.
"You...... You'reβ"
Ulysses stared at him for a few seconds, and his heart suddenly shook!
He remembered the appearance of the young man in front of him!
Once in a copy of Jerusalem, standing in the dark camp, hostile to his own side.
Knight Alter used the power of the holy relic, but failed to defeat it, but he died because his life force was devoured and he grew old rapidly.
"Chen Xiaolian!"
Before Ulysses, Lucius had already called out Chen Xiaolian's name: "What did you do to Petro and them!"
"Don't get excited, don't get excited. Chen Xiaolian smiled and waved his hand at Lucius and Ulysses: "I just want to come to you to borrow something." Your teammates...... Now they're all lying outside in good shape, just fainting. β
"Borrow...... Stuff?" Lucius and Ulysses raised their long swords, pointed at Chen Xiaolian, snorted coldly, and shot at the same time!
The two of them kicked the ground with their legs violently, and quickly rushed towards Chen Xiaolian, the long sword shining with holy light, and slashed towards Chen Xiaolian from both sides at the same time.
But seeing the two cross swords slashing towards him, Chen Xiaolian still stood in place, without dodging or parrying.
The sword flashed!
But there was no touch of slashing an object from the blade!
The two had already rushed in front of Chen Xiaolian, only to feel that there was a flower in front of them, but Chen Xiaolian appeared more than ten meters away.
So fast......
- No! not he's fast!
Ulysses' first instinct was immediately denied by himself.
The collapsed bookshelves around him, and the books scattered on the ground, are still in the same position as when he first made his move.
Chen Xiaolian never moved his position at all.
Instead, he and Lucius rushed in front of Chen Xiaolian and swung their long swords, and instantly returned to the position where they were standing!
Space...... Distorted by Chen Xiaolian!
Cold sweat was already oozing from Ulysses' back.
Before Lucius realized what was happening, he roared angrily, and once again jumped high into the air, swinging his long sword at Chen Xiaolian.
Two rays of holy light emerged from the blade of the sword, intertwined into a cross, and flew towards Chen Xiaolian.
However, when the holy light flew less than a meter in front of Chen Xiaolian, it suddenly flickered.
As if jumping over the space where Chen Xiaolian was, the Holy Light Cross reappeared behind him, blasting a large hole in the wall.
And Chen Xiaolian stood in place from beginning to end, without even moving a finger, still looking at the two with a smile.
"Lucius, stop!"
Ulysses yelled at Lucius, preventing him from continuing to attack Chen Xiaolian, staring at Chen Xiaolian with a pair of eyes: "What the hell are you...... What do you want?"
"Listen, I'm a reasonable person, and I don't like to kill people in particular. As I said, none of your companions outside are dead. Chen Xiaolian shrugged his shoulders and looked relaxed: "I know that Chen once broke into you, took it away once, and killed many of you. But...... I'm not going to do that. β
"And what are you going to do?" Lucius also realized what had just happened, and gritted his teeth: "We have already lost the holy relic once, and we will never give it to again-"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a strong force in his palm.
Obviously, Chen Xiaolian was still standing in place, not moving, but the knight's long sword in everyone's hands flew out at the same time, drawing more than a dozen arcs in mid-air, and neatly inserted into the ground at his feet.
Everyone behind them was in an uproar, and Lucius and Ulysses' hearts were pounding, and they looked at Chen Xiaolian in disbelief.
They all had a lot of spare weapons in their storage equipment, but at this moment, they were at a loss and didn't know whether to take them out.
"Gattuso and Mene...... You killed it?!" Lucius gritted his teeth: "Half a year ago, in the Kyoto dungeon, ......"
"Gattuso was killed by me, but Mene was not. Chen Xiaolian told the truth: "Gattuso...... It's almost completely insane. Mene saw that he was no match for me and intended to end the dungeon, but Gattuso killed him in order to stop him. Butβ"
He paused for a moment and continued, "It doesn't hurt to count him on my head. Hussein is a friend of mine, and he once told me that he would be happy if one day I could kill Mene. β
"Hussein......?!"
When they heard the name, the eyelids of Ulysses and Lucius both twitched at the same time: "Knight Hussein...... Still alive?!"
As for the deaths of Gattuso and Mene, since Chen Xiaolian had appeared in front of them and showed such strength, the two were not too surprised by this.
"Alive, and rightly so...... It should be a decent life. Chen Xiaolian smiled: "Okay, I'll ask you about this later." Now, let's talk about your pair of relics. β
"The relics have been taken away once, and they will never be lost from us again!" Ulysses snapped, but beads of sweat were already on his forehead.
"I ...... Not quite convinced. Chen Xiaolian smiled and walked towards the altar at the end of the library.
Lucius shouted, and a war hammer appeared in his hand, and the holy light condensed on the hammer head, and slammed down on Chen Xiaolian.
He knew very well how strong the saints would be after receiving divine revelation.
And the guy who can kill the saints, how strong will it be, he knows better.
But no matter how strong his opponent is, he must also guard the holy weapon from desecration!
"No way. Chen Xiaolian shook his head, sighed lightly, and lightly tapped his fingers on the hammer head of the war hammer, but the pace of moving forward under his feet still did not stop.
At the moment when his finger hit the hammer head, Lucius's whole body suddenly froze in place, and his face was full of horror and disbelief. Half a second later, his whole body suddenly spurted blood, and one of them rolled over and fell to the ground.
"Heresy!
Bang!
As soon as a knight screamed, he was slapped in the face by Chen Xiaolian and flew out, hitting a bookshelf, and rolling into a ball with the bookshelf.
"I always say one word-" Chen Xiaolian turned his head, his gaze swept over everyone's faces in turn: "I don't like to kill." But that doesn't mean I won't kill, you know? I know Tatsu killed a lot of people when he took it in the first place, and if you make me feel the need, I don't mind doing what Tatsu did back then, and doing it again here. β
His voice is not loud, and he even has a smile on his face when he speaks.
But when his eyes swept over, everyone shuddered.
