Scott City is located on the south side of the Dusklands, near the Church of Light's sphere of influence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFurther south is the hinterland of the Church of Light, which is geographically important. The two sides have fought for thousands of years, and Scott City has been bathed in the flames of war many times, and the blood stains and magic scorch marks on the northern wall reflect each other into a mottled crimson black, which is particularly terrifying under the yellow light of the dusk.

There were several soldiers sitting on the city wall half-asleep, lazily not seeing the slightest hint of what a soldier should be.

The old magician Dwight was an intermediate magician and the captain of the third squad defending the city, and at this time he was sitting on the head of the city with his arms resting on the pillow, with a grass stalk in his mouth, but his eyes were always squinting, looking into infinity. The battle between light and darkness is so long, so long that all the glitz and glitz are gone, and only the most simple and practical parts are left, and now the state of the third squad is to relax as much as possible on the premise of maintaining vigilance, in preparation for the war that may come at any time.

"Someone is coming, not a caravan. Dwight's eyes narrowed slightly, and at some point they were fully opened. His voice was not loud, as if he were talking to himself, but before he could finish his words, all the soldiers at the head of the city had already stood up, took their positions, and entered a state of imminent battle.

Two figures walked slowly in the distance, judging from the golden ornaments on the robes and armor, they were both high-ranking gods of the Church of Light.

These two men were Oscar and Mary, and after they had come into contact with the Dark Church in the Land of Dusk, they hurried all the way back to the nearest Scottish city, and each of them lost two horses, and finally had to go on foot. Even so, it took three full days to get to Scott.

Scott City is a purely strategic town, there is almost no flow of people in commerce, and the coordinates of the teleportation array in the city are not disclosed, so Scott is not rolled, which can prevent the roll from flowing into the hands of the dark church and conducting sneak attacks through teleportation.

The two stood five meters away from the city gate, and Oscar looked up in the direction of the city and shouted, "Oscar Theron, Mary Jones, the scout has returned from a mission, and I want to enter the city." ”

Suddenly there was a discussion at the head of the city.

"He's Oscar, and the sword behind his back must be the Radiant Priest! ”

"Mary the Light Dancer, she's Mary the Light Dancer! If I can get the title of God of Light before I die, then I will be blind. ”

"What are you envy, didn't you see that they all fled back in dust? I heard that they were defeated by the scout team of the Dark Temple, and they also lost more than a dozen Knights of Light. ”

"How could it be? Who defeated them? But looking at the dust on their bodies, it did look like they had run back. ”

"You're so ill-informed. I've heard about this too, but the details vary. It is said that this time they went out on a scout mission, not only with the Knight of Light, but also with Bright. As a result, I didn't expect to encounter an ambush by the Dark Church, Bright was killed, and only the two of them ran back!"

"What? Magic genius Brett is dead?"

"yes, it's a pity, I'm only twenty years old. ”

"Maybe he was killed to cover the two of them from escaping. ”

Oscar listened to these voices with a grim face, and the murderous aura on his body became heavier and heavier. Seeing this, Dwight's heart sank, and he was ready to stop his men's discussions.

"Silence. Mary lifted her delicate hands and pressed them down, and a large golden light spilled out from between her fingers and landed on the city, and for a moment all sounds stopped abruptly. The soldiers looked at each other with their mouths furled, but they were silent.

Dwight was even more frightened, and Mary's interpretation of the Silent Technique was the silent technique of the Secret Word, but from the light of the spell, it was the golden brilliance of the Holy Word, and this contrast made Dwight feel an inexplicable sense of confusion. Dwight had seen the strength of the Pope's students firsthand, and no matter what rumors he heard, he was not shocked when he was there.

Mary had already turned her face away, obviously not wanting to speak again.

"Please verify your identity. Dwight didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly took out a small piece of magic crystal from his pocket, and in this magic crystal there was a wisp of milky white that wandered like a small tadpole.

Dwight threw the magic crystal from the city, and Oscar didn't wait for the crystal to fall, but already reached the point where he snapped his fingers and sent out a wisp of fighting energy, which contained spiritual power into the crystal, and this wisp of spiritual power merged into the crystal, and immediately blended with the original wisp of milky white, swimming in the crystal like a swimming fish. The crystal was also affected by Oscar's vindictiveness, and it spun around quickly, and was lifted high again, falling in a parabola. Mary pointed towards the top of the city, and a spiritual power came to merge into the crystal. In an instant, the crystal emitted milky white spiritual power to envelop the space above the city, as if this layer of white light was a tangible and qualitative liquid, and that crystal was the swimming fish in it. As the milky light dissipated, the soldiers at the head of the city found that their voices were restored, but this time no one was stupid enough to continue to talk.

Dwight caught the falling crystal and looked at the rich light spiritual power inside with mixed feelings. Appearance can change, and voice can also be faked through magic, but the spiritual power attribute in the body is connected to the soul's beliefs, so it cannot be changed. There was originally a ray of light spiritual power in the crystal, and if there was an injection of spiritual power of other natures, the crystal would burst. Only spiritual power of the same nature can be fused together, so only the attribute of spiritual power is a foolproof way to verify identity. No, it's not foolproof, there's one person who is the exception, that man...... The man who has been called the strongest séance in history......

Dwight's body couldn't help but shake, he hurriedly retracted his thoughts, turned his head and shouted to the soldiers in the city, "Open the city gates!"

"Shine on all beings. ”

"Shine on all beings. ”

After the ceremony, Oscar and Mary entered the city through the city gates, and a young knight of light immediately greeted them and led them to the temple of light, where they rested in the branch of Scott City.

The Temple of Light in Scottic City is on the central axis directly opposite the city gate, and a very spacious avenue from the north gate to the temple is called the Central Avenue, and in front of the main gate of the temple is the Shenghui Square with a radius of 500 meters. Behind the temple is the teleportation array, and for strategic reasons, the teleportation array in Scott City can only be teleported in one direction, i.e., other cities can teleport to Scott, but not the other way around.

After Mary and Oscar entered the temple, Mary handed a scroll to a priest in the branch hall and asked him to conduct a magic communication, and after a few more instructions, she casually found a waiting room to rest.

Oscar followed in and sat on the chair, his face was still pale, "We only used the magic scroll to send a message to the main hall three days ago, and it is already known to passers-by now, and the news is really fast!"

Mary shrugged, "This is also something that can't be helped, you should be mentally prepared before doing this." ”

Oscar snorted, "I want to know who it is, who is so anxious to see us make a fool of ourselves, and spread everywhere in such a short period of time, causing rumors to spread." ”

Mary propped her elbows on the table, looking indifferent, "What's so angry about this, so anxious to make us ugly, but he exposed himself, and in fact, he couldn't achieve any purpose." We are lucky to meet such an enemy who has no city. ”

Oscar thought about it and felt that it made sense, and his face looked better.

Then there was another knock on the door, "Grand Priest Jones, a magical message from the main hall for you." ”

After receiving permission, one of the goddess officials of the branch hall walked in, handed a scroll with a magic seal to Mary, and closed the door to exit.

After carefully examining the seal, Mary opened the scroll and looked at it twice, and a wisp of milky white flame emitted from her fingertips, burning the scroll away, leaving not even a trace of ashes.

Oscar asked in a deep voice, "Have you found out the monkey who is making trouble in the back?" Tell me who they are. ”

Mary nodded and shook her head again, "It's been found out, but it's not a monkey, it's a lion." Fortunately, his IQ is obviously not proportional to his strength. I can't tell you who it is, lest your unconsciously revealed hostility be noticed by the other party. ”

"You ......" Oscar pressed his hands on the table and stood up, and the ivory agarwood table worth thousands of gold exploded into countless sawdust with a thud, scattering in all directions in the room. Mary still sat as if nothing had happened, even with her hands on the table. After a while, Oscar finally calmed down a little and sat down again, which also means that he agrees with Mary's approach.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a magic bell outside the window, two short and one long, representing the enemy's attack! Oscar and Mary looked at each other, already knowing what was going on. Oscar snorted coldly, "You really guessed it right, Selby really sent an army to chase us again, but fortunately we arrived in time to the nearest Scott City, I'm going to kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"

Mary also stood up, she raised her hand to stop Oscar, "Don't go, we're going to leave Scott right away and go back to St. Redion." ”

Oscar's eyes widened, "The Dark Church is under your nose, why don't you go out and fight? What? Mary! Are you afraid that Elena will chase you, you are not her opponent?"

Mary wasn't angry either, she just walked out the door on her own, "First of all, neither Selby nor Elena will come. Our deal is based on mutual benefits, and if either party is forced to spread the truth of the matter, it will cause a lot of trouble for the other party. ”

Although Oscar was reluctant, he wanted to continue to listen to Mary's explanation, so he had to follow behind.

"To master a person, you have to understand what he wants. Oscar, if you were Selby, what would you do in the face of our previous 'hunting' invitation?" Would you tell a lot of people. ”

Oscar blurted out, "How can I tell people that I will only bring people I trust, and preferably cronies around me, so that no one will share the benefits and reduce the risks!"

"Selby also brought Elena, I don't know what their relationship is, so I don't care about it for now. Mary walked slowly down the spacious corridor of the Church of Light branch in Scott City, as if she were strolling leisurely, "So, Selby only brought the members of the Cappadocia family, which means that he didn't tell the others. The secrecy of this matter will not only allow him to enjoy the divine grace alone, but no one will expose him, and the record of leading the team to kill Bright alone will also make him famous, which is what Selby wants!"

Oscar suddenly realized, "So Selby must not have told anyone else about our plan before this matter in order to keep it a secret! That is to say, he only notified the army of the Dark Church to hunt us down after he left!"

Before they knew it, the two of them had reached the attic on the fifth floor of the temple where the griffins were domesticated.

"Isn't that stupid? Mary turned around and patted Oscar's face, "The Dark Church's garrison on the north side of the Dusklands is based on a squadron of one hundred and twenty people, and it will be temporarily gathered to pursue our dark forces, no more than three squadrons. ”

Oscar was not angry at Mary's sarcasm, muttering, "Are there only more than three hundred?"

"That's right, so their purpose is not to siege the city, but only to intercept the two of us. Of course, they didn't catch up with us after running so far, and they wouldn't just go back. If it's possible to lure us out, try to see if you can take us out with an elite raid, that's the way it is now. As she spoke, Mary took the lead in turning over a griffin and patted the saddle of a griffin next to her, "As long as we leave Scott now, they will lose the meaning of attacking, and they will naturally retreat after a while." ”

"I thought you could come up with some clever plan, and now let me run away with your tail between my legs, in order to make the Dark Church retreat?hmph!" A circle of fighting spirit suddenly spread around Oscar, his whole face was red, and he was obviously furious, "Maybe I don't have as many calculations as you, but isn't our thousand-year war with the Dark Church going on all the time? Just don't fight? Avoid war by escaping from the battle like this? So what is the purpose of our existence? Now this is the battlefield!" I'm going to kill the people of the Dark Church!"

Oscar angrily returned the way he came.

"If you kill all the dark cultists, will the war be over?"

If you kill all the dark cultists, will the war be over? Obviously, no, the two gods of light and darkness are both powerful gods across the plane. The war in the Land of Twilight is just a mundane war, just a projection of the god of light and the god of darkness on the plane of Amesya.

To be precise, if the followers of the Dark Temple are killed, it can indeed affect the source of the power of the Dark God's faith, thus indirectly causing a little trouble to the Dark God in the God War. The gods can adjust the charisma between different planes to stabilize the number of believers. What's more, how many people will remain in the Church of Light when the Dark Temple believers are killed?

Oscar was shocked, Mary, has she already thought from God's point of view? That's the gap between us, isn't it? Oscar was relieved when he figured this out.

"You go, I'm going to fight. If there is an enemy, it is against my nature not to kill. Without waiting for Mary to answer, Oscar pulled out the Radiant Priest, smashed the window beside him with a sword, jumped out of the body, and rushed towards the battlefield.

Mary, who was riding on the griffin, was stunned at first, and then burst into a bright smile, "This is you, Oscar." ”

"Don't die. Because, I will kill you with my own hands. ”
