On the day of Heavenly Father's Advent, Church Square.

"It's been a long time since I've worn this outfit. Todd stood in front of the bronze mirror, looked at himself in the mirror wearing the Church Holy Rank suit, loosened his neckline with his hand, and whispered: "I haven't worn it for a year, this dress seems to be a little small." ”

"Your Majesty, the time has come. ”

Todd nodded to the squire, reached for the Bible on the table, and walked out the door.

Advent is the first of the church's seven feasts, and the purpose is for believers to reflect on themselves and wait for Christ.

However, in terms of the specific timing of the ceremony, the Church of the Father is different from the Most Orthodox Church.

In order to celebrate the arrival of the coming season, Twilight City has built a wooden ceremonial platform in the church square.

On the platform is a wreath of three purple candles, one pink candle and one larger white candle, also known as the "Advent Garland". Three purple candles and one pink candle represent the four weeks of Advent, while the white candle symbolizes the holy Christ.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the king, dressed in holy rank, appeared on the edge of the platform, drawing cheers from the crowd like waves.

Some chanted the Son, and in their minds, the name Todd meant the Holy Spirit. One unheard-of miracle after another took place in his hands, and one incredible thing after another became possible under his guidance.

Some chanted the king, and they respected him more for his promise and mercy. Back when Twilight was a village, Todd offered a promise that he would not collect taxes for three years. When the Order became secularized, it was expected that the king would take back his orders, but to everyone's surprise, he chose to keep his promise. Now, as long as the residents of Twilight City are not lazy and treacherous, they can earn a family business in the city with their hands and live a life comparable to that of nobility.

Todd stood on the podium and looked at the crowd in the square.

Closest to him were Alfonso and the Guard, farther away were the king's officials such as Richel, Jo, Elijah, Mary, etc., and at the outskirts were a sea of onlookers.

"Angels preach through the shadow of the Holy Spirit......"

Todd lit the first purple candle as he recited the sacred text aloud, and the crowd began to pray silently.

The coming of the Son frees man from the yoke of sin. ”

The second and third purple candles are lit.

"May the heavens bring down nectar, and righteousness from the clouds, and may the earth be cracked and produce a savior. ”

Pink candles were lit, and the earth beneath the altar shook, and more and more people began to kneel on the ground as the people who thought the Son had appeared to each other.

"The Lord will come into the world to bring light and salvation to mankind, and therefore there is hope. ”

Todd lit the last white candle and the ceremony was officially completed.

The ground shook louder and louder, and the cracks visible to the naked eye were like spider webs, constantly extending and expanding.

With the cracking of the sand, the earth collapsed.

A huge subsidence appeared around the ceremonial platform, the wooden platform falling apart and sand splattering everywhere. Amid exclamations and shouts, the king disappeared into the burrow.

Falling from the ground into the ground at a depth of nearly ten meters, even with the ability of "regeneration", Todd was still dizzy and unable to move.

The sunlight cast by the deep hole was tightly covered by the face of a young girl.

"Haha!

With these words in his ears, Todd just wanted to ask who the other party was, his body suddenly rose into the air, and the next second, he was put on the shoulders by the girl, and moved quickly along the dark passage.

The girl's figure disappeared into the sewers, leaving only one sentence: "Ivan! It's time to set off fireworks!"

A few seconds later, a knight in full armor, armed with a sword and shield, jumped into the hole.

"Your Majesty, where are you?!"

Alfonso stepped on the soft floor of the sewer, anxious like an ant on a hot pan, and he spun in place, observing his surroundings by the falling light.

It's the center of the Twilight Underground Network and the central platform of the sewers, but this room has four exits, so where is Todd located?

More and more heir guards entered the cave, and someone lit a torch, and then exclaimed, "Sir, look at the ground!"

Alfonso looked towards the ground, and the capillary-like "blanket" spread all over the room, and some red shadows swam on the ground, which was too fast to see clearly.

A red worm bounced off the ground, through the gap in the helmet of one of the guards, and directly through the eyeball and into the victim's brain.

A terrible scream rang out, and the attacked guard fell to the ground, instantly overwhelmed by countless worms, and the sound of flesh being eaten and bitten made people's scalps tingle.

Alfonso gasped, then ordered loudly, "Circle the circle!"

The guards quickly formed a circular shield wall, guarding against attacks from the ground while slashing the worms in their eyes with their swords.

Soon, the knights found that this resistance was simply futile. The "blood carpet" has spread all over the room, and the floor, walls, and even the ceiling can become a hiding place for these "man-eating snakes".

And the guards constantly jump down from the holes, and these people often become a feast for the bugs before they realize what is happening.

Alfonso watched as the number of victims increased, and he was so anxious that he went to the big hole in the top of his head, and shouted a warning: "Don't come down! Damn! I said, don't come down!"

Just as he was distracted, a worm bounced off the ground and slammed into Alfonso's door.

Just as the knight was about to die in the jaw, a crossbow bolt came from the end of the room, piercing the worm in the air and saving Alfonso's life.

Walton unleashed the string of his crossbow, loaded another bolt, and pinned another worm to the wall.

Leslie, whose body was in flames, slowly walked into the room. The tongue of fire under his feet scorched the 'blood carpet', and the hot breath sprayed from his hands burned one insect after another into charcoal.

Alfonso looked at Walton, his mouth open to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

"Don't thank me, Leslie pulled me hard. Walton raised his head, nostrils pointing upward.

After clearing the worms, Leslie dispersed the flames all over her body, gasped and said to Alfonso, "My lord, I know where Your Majesty has gone. ”

The latter came up to Leslie with an arrow and asked loudly, "Where?!"

Leslie pointed to one of the entrances to the room, expressionless: "Here." ”

"You go and inform the Royal Guard, let the Elemental Inheritors join the battle!" Alfonso ordered his subordinates beside him, "The rest, follow me!"

With Leslie and Alfonso in front, Walton and the Guards behind, the group stepped out of the sewer center platform and headed down an aisle.

Leslie walked at the front of the line and said softly, "My lord, I sometimes wonder when is the happiest day of a man's life?"

Alfonso, who was in a hurry, said impatiently: "Leslie, we will talk about these things later, finding His Majesty is the first priority!"

Hu never paid attention to the knight's words, and continued to himself: "I have been dreaming of my days in the Inquisition lately, although at that time I was poorly paid, slept in the open air, and walked on the verge of death several times. But...... When my clothes are torn, Adlina will help me sew them, if I am in a bad mood, I will quarrel with Walton, and when I am confused, there will always be a bright soul to dispel the gloom in my heart. ”

Leslie stopped and turned to face Alfonso, "My lord, don't you miss the old days?"

Alfonso paused, and suddenly something came to mind. He clenched the sword in his hand and asked coldly, "Why did you appear in the sewers just now?

Leslie's hands were tightly twisted together, and her lips turned white: "My lord, don't you miss the old time at all? If we give up the ...... now?"

Alfonso suddenly put his sword on Leslie's neck and shouted, "Answer my question!"

Walton rushed in front of Alfonso, struck a crossbow with his crossbow, blocked the blade of the sword, and shouted angrily, "We just saved you!"

Leslie looked at Alfonso, his face completely bloodless, and then turned around and continued to walk forward, saying softly, "My lord, I understand. ”
