Chapter 0879 - Sacred Palace
Thirty seconds before Angelio needs to make an important decision that will affect his life and death. But he was still hesitating, trying to find another solution.
"Do you need me to burn down this church? That might help you decide. "Or, I'll go back and melt that piece of metal, and you'll never have a chance to recover your relics." Give me the armor now, and you'll have a chance to get it whole. If not, then you should never want it again. ”
Thirty seconds had passed, but Charley didn't want to fire a third shot at Angelio. It's not that he's merciful, it's that if he shoots Angelo again, he'll probably die.
Angelio was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Come with me." ”
He got up from the ground and limped towards the office door. Both wounds were bleeding, leaving his bloodstained footprints on the floor.
Xia Lei followed him out of the study, and at the same time awakened his perspective ability, and once again saw through the environment around him. But he didn't find any hidden spaces or traps or anything. After the perspective investigation, he also had a rough judgment in his heart, the holy palace was not in this church.
Angelio led Charlei into a hallway.
Lined up on either side of the corridor are statues of the knights of the Knights Hospitaller, all dressed in ancient armor and armed with swords, shields, maces, and other weapons. They add a strong sense of history to this corridor, as well as an air of solemnity.
At the end of the corridor is the back door of the church. Beyond the back door is a stone-paved road that leads to a rock wall, about seventy or eighty meters long. There are also many statues of knights on both sides of the stone road, and they are all sitting on war horses.
Xia Lei's left eye penetrated the back door and went straight to the rock wall at the end of the stone avenue, and secretly said in his heart: "There are so many knight statues on both sides of this stone avenue, it can't be just works of art, ......right? Could it be that the Sacred Palace is in the middle of that rock wall?"
But just as he was looking at the stone wall and thinking about it, Angelio suddenly grabbed a battle axe from the hand of a knight's statue and slashed it at Charleigh's neck with his backhand.
(8) dǐng (8) diǎn (8) 小 (8) said, .⊥.◆ os_ (); Xia Lei's feet fell lightly on the ground, and his body crossed back. The axe grazed his Adam's apple and fell into the air.
Poof!
Angelio's tomahawk fell to the ground with a clatter, and there was already a bloody hole in the back of his hand.
Xia Lei said coldly: "You'd better be honest, otherwise the next shot will kill you." ”
"You're going to hell. Angelio said.
"We've been in hell all along. Xia Lei said.
"Humph!" Angelio snorted, then limped to the door. He hung his shot hand and reached into his coat pocket with the other.
Charley's gaze locked on his hand, piercing his pocket. At that moment, he saw Angelio's hand clutching a golden card and folding it vigorously!
Gold is soft and bends when folded. One of the electronic cards on the card also broke.
Xia Lei recognized it at a glance, it was a pass to enter the Holy Palace. Angelio had just destroyed the same one he had copied from Arthur's hands.
"Haha......" Angelio laughed madly, he took out the destroyed pass and threw it to the ground in front of Xia Lei, "I've ruined the pass to enter the Holy Palace, you don't want to go in again." Shoot and kill me. ”
Xia Lei frowned, "Why are you bothering?"
"Even if I take you into the Holy Palace, you will kill me. I don't want to be a traitor to the Knights Hospitaller, even if I die, I'm going to die with glory!" Angelio seemed to have made his decision.
Xia Lei said: "Can't you enter the Holy Palace without a pass?"
"Don't even think about it!"
"I really didn't expect you to keep such a hand, you are very cunning. Xia Lei spread his hands, a look of disappointment and helplessness, "I can not go in, I can leave." But I have one last question, I'm sure you won't believe the story of the Knight of the Apocalypse on a red horse, right? You have no hope of recovering the country, why do you still insist so hard, so hard to find the fragments of that armor?"
Angelio looked at Xia Lei coldly and didn't say a word.
"You even snatched the Book of Iron from the Vatican, what do you want? or, what is your purpose?"
Angelio was silent for a moment before he said, "Do you believe in the existence of God?"
I don't know why, under this question, Xia Lei suddenly thought of Zhu Xuanyue and the black-robed man, these two people have the power comparable to "gods", but are the two "gods"? He said: "I believe it, but sometimes it is mortals' wishful thinking that beautifies gods, and they may not be our guardians at all, but hunters. ”
"You're blasphemy!" Angelio yelled at Charlei, flicking his fist.
"Are you doing this for God?"
"That armor is the armor of the gods, and we believe in his existence. We can awaken Him, we can receive His gifts, and thus gain great power, even eternal life. Angelio's eyes sparkled with excitement. His mind seemed to be sketching a picture of a certain god and a gift from God.
"Just for this?" said Charleigh, who was not satisfied with such an answer.
Angelio suddenly muttered, "O only god who guards the world, I am martyred for you, please guide me on the way back to heaven!" After drawing his sword, he did not hesitate at all, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stabbed Xia Lei in the heart.
Poof, poof, poof!
Charley fired three shots in quick succession. The viper with the silencer trembled, and three bullets slammed into Angelio's chest.
Angelio's two-handed greatsword slammed to the floor, and he fell.
Charley walked up to him and looked at Angelio calmly.
Angelio's mouth kept bleeding, and he opened his mouth, "You will die, divine punishment will come, you ...... And everyone around you will die!"
"Don't forget to curse me at this time? Okay, I originally wanted you to have an easy walk, but you are so unkind, I will show you something. Xia Lei put his hand in the pocket of his underwear.
Angelio stared at Xia Lei with a pair of bloody eyes, his life was passing fast, but he was eager to see what Xia Lei would show him at this time. He expected it to be a holy thing.
Xia Lei's hand reached out of his underwear pocket, and he held a golden card in his hand.
Angelio's expression changed suddenly.
Xia Lei shook the pass and said slowly: "See? I have a pass." I've been trying to tell you, but you don't want to hear it. You've ruined yours, is it useful? I'll go to the Sacred Palace right now and take what I want to take. You also mountain road, don't insist any longer. ”
"Poof...... Angelio squirted a mouthful of blood, then crooked his neck and died. He could have held on for another diǎn time, but the pass that Xia Lei showed him him off.
Charley walked past Angelio's body and didn't look at him again.
Leaving the church, Charle quickly leads to a stone avenue.
He saw the bodies of four black-robed gunmen who had fallen under the rock wall, apparently the handiwork of Kyoko Tsukino.
A pass is required to enter the Palazzo Sanctuary, as well as a passage document signed by Angelio himself. Those four black-robed gunmen were obviously the last checkpoint to guard the Holy Palace. However, Kyoko Tsukino had already solved this trouble for him in advance. It's just that she doesn't know the secret behind the rock wall.
"She's really efficient, and I'm sure I'll give her some reward after this operation. Xia Lei thought so in his heart.
He soon came to the bottom of the rock wall at the end of the rock, which was flat and smooth, at least two or three hundred square meters. On the rock wall is carved a knight on horseback, the horse is a red horse, wearing silver armor, holding a silver long sword, looking very majestic and fierce.
However, under the cover of the knight's helmet, the knight on the red horse had no face at all.
Xia Lei secretly said in his heart: "Riding a red horse and wearing a sword, isn't that the Knight of the Apocalypse who represents war and persecution among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? But Angelio didn't mention the Knight of the Apocalypse with half a word when he was dying, but he mentioned the only god...... The One God......"
He suddenly thought of the prehistoric one, but the thought startled him.
Is it possible that the only one in prehistory who survived the Ice Age and then became the god of the Knights Hospitaller?
"Forget it, let's think about these questions later, now is not the time to think about them. Xia Lei emptied his brain and began to look for a place where he could insert the pass.
He soon found a storage zài in one of the horse's hooves of the statue of the knight. He didn't rush to insert the pass in, but saw it through. The perspective startled him. The rock wall is actually a metal gate disguised as a rock wall, and its interior has extremely complex electronic and mechanical structures.
If you don't have a pass, you can actually go in, but it is estimated that you will have to use a few shots of Cerberus individual artillery.
Charlei inserted the pass into the card slot.
After a few seconds, the metal gate slowly activated, sliding into the mountain, and an arched passage slowly revealed.
The passage is not very long, only ten meters deep. The rock wall is carved smoothly because there is no air and there are no diǎn lights in it. However, this did not prevent him from seeing the inside with the help of the faint light outside. At the end of the passage is a vaulted space that looks like the worship hall of a church.
Xia Lei took off the tactical flashlight and walked in with the help of the light of the tactical flashlight.
On both sides of the passage are tall and majestic statues of knights with majestic and sacred faces. They look like they're alive, ready to attack an intruder at any moment with the cold weapon in their hand.
Charlei came to the vaulted space at the end of the passage. There is no statue of Jesus Christ, no statue of the Virgin Mary, but there is a silver armor in the place where the gods are supposed to be worshipped. It was covered in cracks, and there was a hole in its helmet, as if it had been pierced with a sword or spear.
It stands there silently, motionless, but it gives a vivid feeling. At the same time, it releases an ancient and mysterious aura, and in front of it it always makes people feel that something bad is about to happen.
Xia Lei walked towards it, and when he came to the side of the armor, his eyes suddenly moved to a stone wall carved out of the silver armor.
There is an oil painting on the stone wall.
Seeing the content of the painting, Xia Lei was struck by lightning, and the whole person couldn't move.
