Angelo and the black-robed priest were again at odds with each other, and we had to leave the church first.

The two of them argued outside the church for a long time before the black-robed priest came up to me: "We decided to find the elf stone first." Come with us!"

The black-robed priest said as he walked, "According to Missionary Martin's notes, there will be a forest from the north of the town, where the elves live. The elven stone is on the edge of a spring to the west of the forest. ”

According to legend, elves are not reluctant to interact with people, but humans must first obtain the approval of the elves before they can obtain the elven stones and understand their language. ”

When I heard this, I interrupted the black-robed priest: "It takes certain conditions to be recognized by the elves, right?"

"Of course!" said the black-robed priest, "only those with pure souls can be recognized by the elves. So it's easier for small children to see elves. As for adults......"

The black-robed priest said proudly, "We now have more than a dozen pious priests, which is enough to be recognized by the elves. ”

I just sneered and didn't answer the other man's words, and the black-robed priest didn't wait for the reverence or compliment he had hoped for. I turned my head a little bored.

I turned to Betty and asked, "You told me that the Titanic sank in the sea where our ship was trapped. Are you deliberately diverting my attention?"

"No!" Betty shook her head: "I judged the location from the buoy, it must be the sinking site of the Titanic." ”

I stopped suddenly: "Oh no!"

Angelo, Betty looked at me at the same time and said, "What do you want to say?"

I said in a deep voice: "If that is really the sinking place of the Titanic, the ghost ship that once pursued us is not a phantom, but a real evil." ”

I looked at Angelo: "You weren't in the same boat with us at the time, how did you find it?"

Angelo's face suddenly became ugly: "At that time, I saw your ship suddenly speeding up, so I ordered the captain to chase after it. ”

"Wait......" I forcibly interrupted, "You mean, you only see us accelerating, not the ghost ship chasing after us?"

Angelo nodded, "Yes, at that time, we saw you rushing into the mist of the sea. By the time we chased in, all the equipment on board had failed, and it was probably a few hours before we got your distress signal again. ”

"We found the island by signal, and your ship was anchored on the shore, and the sailors on board told us that you had landed on the island. By the way, Priest Hedda is also ......"

Before Angelo finished speaking, Betty's face changed: "Our ship has sunk, and there can be no sailors on board." And also...... I saw with my own eyes that Priest Hedda died in front of me, right outside the church. ”

Angelo's face suddenly changed: "What about Heda's corpse?"

"It's ...... town," Betty couldn't say any more, and the town behind us had turned into a white plain of ice and snow, and the only thing that proved that there was once a town was a cross in the snow, which was the roof of the church.

"Little ...... The town is gone. Betty's face turned pale.

Angelo said in a deep voice: "Send a signal to contact the knights guarding the ship." ”

Someone fired a flare into the air, but no one responded. I couldn't help but say, "The people guarding the ship are finished." The ghost ship under the sea may have already landed. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Betty lost control in an instant: "It's impossible for the ghost ship to go ashore, let alone ......"

Betty's voice grew quieter and quieter, and finally it was replaced by a scream: "Prepare for war-"

When I followed Betty's gaze, I saw a rusty steam ship appear on the snowy mountain in the distance, the chimney of the ship was full of smoke, and the snow-capped mountains under the ship seemed to be unable to bear the weight of the giant ship, and were collapsing rapidly, and the rumbling sound of the rock-sized snow rolling down to the bottom of the mountain shook the huge ship that pressed on the snowy mountain.

Once the ship rushes down the snowy mountain, it will be like an ancient iron pulley, accelerating with the help of the slope, heading straight for our current position, and at that time, even if we have the ability to reach the sky, we will not want to stop the behemoth.

I yelled, "Hurry up, you can't stay here, I can't stop the ship, go to a high place." Hurry up ......"

Angelo also shouted: "Run, rush into the forest, ...... quickly"

The Knights of the Holy Sword divided their men to protect a few clerics and rushed towards the location of the forest.

The Knights of the Holy Sword were physically stronger, but their armor was too heavy for them to increase their speed in knee-deep snow, and no matter how much Angelo urged, the team could not accelerate in a short period of time.

I kept looking back at the giant ships, but I saw that the huge ship that was parked on the mountain was slowly turning with the movement of the Holy Sword Knight. The condescending hull of the ship is like a movable turret, always locked onto the paladin's body, but it is slow to fire cannonballs.

"Don't run away!" the black-robed priest shouted loudly, "Wang Huan, tell me, is the thing on the mountain a phantom?"

"I don't know!" I said as I ran, "Do you dare to bet it's a phantom now?

"Stop!" The black-robed priest suddenly grabbed the collarbone hook on Ye Xun's body and tightened the chain violently, Ye Xun's mouth suddenly let out a muffled snort, and the wound that had already stopped bleeding burst out of blood again.

My blood-red eyes looked at the black-robed priest, "What are you going to do?"

The black-robed priest said sharply: "Wang Huan, don't play tricks with me. Lan Moying said, you have excellent eyesight, you can't hide anything from you, you tell me immediately, is that a phantom?"

"No!" I said in a deep voice, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"Not satisfied!" the black-robed priest said sharply, "Then you explain to me, how can a huge ship drive to the mountain?"

"How do I know?" I was in a rage, and the black-robed priest tightened the rope again: "Wang Huan, I advise you to be honest." ”

"It's a phantom, it's a phantom, right?" I scolded, "Let's move on!"

Only then did the black-robed priest be satisfied: "I know that's the case, slow down, I want to see what tricks those ghosts can play?"

Angelo hesitated, "Mr. Peter, I don't think it's a wise choice to stop now......"

The black-robed priest said coldly, "It's not a wise choice for us to break into the forest like this. Elves are creatures that don't like to be disturbed, and if we forcibly break into their territory, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings and even conflicts, which is the purpose of the ghosts to create illusions. ”

The words of the black-robed priest seemed reasonable, but in fact they were strong words. He made this judgment on the basis that the ghost ship was a phantom. However, no one can be sure that the ghost ship was just an illusion now.

Angelo hesitated: "Priest Peter, it's not that I don't believe in your judgment, but as the head of the legion, I must be responsible for my knights. I think ......"

The black-robed priest's face sank and said, "Captain Angelo, don't forget, the Holy Knights belong to the Holy See first, and then to you. ”

The words of the black-robed priest can be described as heartbreaking, and even Angelo, as the head of the knights, does not dare to refute it easily.

At this time, I finally figured out the identity of the black-robed priest. He seems to be a clergyman, but he is actually a prisoner sent by the Holy See.

There are pros and cons to the system of supervising the army, and once the supervising army restricts the generals, the consequences will be unpredictable. Historically, there have been examples of defeat and defeat due to the indiscriminate command of the prison army.

However, the Holy See is still using the prison army to contain the Knights, which cannot but be said to be the sorrow of the Holy Knights.

Perhaps, Angelo was able to agree with the black-robed priest to go to find the elf stone first, and it was also for this reason.

Angelo and the black-robed priest looked at each other for a few seconds, and then had to wave his hand, "Slow down and move towards the forest at a constant speed." ”

Most of the knights didn't hear the conversation between me and the black-robed priest, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.

The black-robed priest shouted: "The giant ship on the mountain is nothing but a phantom, a shameless trick of the devil, it wants us to break into the elven forest, disturb the peace of the elves, and let us clash with the elves. ”

"Don't be afraid, the Phantom can't hurt us. As long as you overcome the fear in your heart, there is nothing the demon can do. ”

"When entering the forest, we must maintain the etiquette of knights and not cause misunderstandings to the elves......"

The black-robed priest talked eloquently, and the Holy Sword Knight's mood gradually stabilized, after all, most people would not believe that a huge ship could sail to the top of the mountain. Even if they saw it with their own eyes, they would subconsciously look for a reasonable explanation, and this was the case with the black-robed priests.

Not only did he find a reason for himself, but he also made most of the Holy Sword Knights believe in him.

The black-robed priest strode forward, and the huge ship on the mountain stopped turning, and even the steam on the chimney slowly drifted away.

The black-robed priest smirked and said, "Wang Huan, your tricks have no effect in front of us. You want to take advantage of the phantom's appearance to create panic so that you can escape, right?"

I said coldly, "You can think whatever you want!"

I said angry words, but the black-robed priest took my words as a confession of crime, and the other party's face suddenly sank: "Knight Captain Betty is right, to be a prisoner should be a prisoner. I am very upset with your attitude, and I must give you some punishment to remind you. ”

I stopped abruptly: "What do you want to do?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the Sacred Sword Knights who were surrounding me raised their swords and pressed them on my shoulders at the same time.

In an instant, the four long swords crossed around my neck in a tic-tac-toe shape, and Leng Sensen's blade cut through the skin on my neck without taking any further steps.

Before I could speak, Betty reached out and grabbed the collarbone hook on Ren Tianqing's body: "Wang Huan, I advise you not to act rashly." ”
