Chapter 11: The Scroll of Time and Space
Our group arrived in the city, and before we could find a place to station, a group of priests found us. Randall and his soldiers were sent to the William family's barracks for a while.
It was getting late, and we knew that the army of the undead would soon arrive. Alonso immediately summoned the generals in the city of Kailandil and Randall to start a combat deployment at the Golden Lion Castle of the Imperial High Command.
We followed the priests to the Basilica of San Antonio in Kailandil, where His Majesty the Pope would receive us personally.
Basilica of San Antonio, a majestic and stately building. This is the headquarters of the church and the place where the seven gods and the pope live.
Our group, except for Mayfair, who took Avina to her place to treat her first, followed the recovered Gerald and the priests to the Cathedral of San Antonio.
The Basilica of San Antonio, located to the east of Kailandil, is a very large fortress.
As soon as you enter the interior of the church, you are enveloped by an indescribable solemnity. There is no loud noise here, only the sound of soft chants.
The interior of the church is also very large, and the dome of the interior is painted with dye with the story of the Seven Gods. In the center, there is also a statue of the seven gods. The seven gods are: Raus, the god of love, Hunter, the god of hunting, Raquel, the god of luck, Arenac, the god of war, Pamela, the god of truth, Wizdem, the god of wisdom, and Sahn, the god of the sun.
Led by the priests, we arrived at the Pope's office.
I saw the pope, dressed in plain white and walking barefoot. If you hadn't told me it was the Pope, I would have thought it was some kind of ghetto beggar.
The white-haired pope with a kind face gives the impression of a sage and a wise man.
When the Pope taught us to come, he told the priests to step down first, and he wanted to speak to us alone.
"Your Majesty, they are the members of the Demon Hunter Mercenary Regiment, and this is Larrick Field. Gerard introduced
"Okay, Gerald, you've worked hard all the way, let's go down and rest first. The Pope said to Gerald
I feel that the Pope has a kind of non-angry and arrogant momentum, and even Gerald seems to be afraid of him.
"Hello, you don't have to call me Pope, just call me Excis. When the Pope saw Gerald retreat, he said to us
"Hello, Mistress Acxi. I said
"Haha, you don't have to be too restrained in front of me, just relax. Seeing you today, I have a lot to tell you. The Pope said
In fact, at this moment, I would most like to ask the Pope why he cares so much about me.
"Larrick, you must be wondering why I'm so concerned about you. Actually, it all starts with your background. You are a dragonborn, the embodiment of the Flame Dragon, so you are not destined to be ordinary. It's just that you haven't awakened your power yet. However, there are some missions that only you can accomplish. The Pope said to me
I was confused by the Pope's words, I didn't understand what he was trying to say, and I didn't know where he was gathering all this information.
"This mission is for you to help investigate the mutations in the Orc Lands, right? Actually, the evil orcs you saw before, as well as those demonic qi, and Zurfao, who is controlled by demonic qi, are all just part of a huge conspiracy. All of this was planned by the Necromantic Witch King Lancelot, including his now growing Nightmare Legion, all to eradicate all of us alive. The Pope said this in one breath
I seem to understand a little bit, all these strange undead mutations for so long are only the work of this necromantic witch king. I don't know what this has to do with the Black Dragon's attack on the Royal City, but I just feel that it is not that simple.
"Actually, you're special, Larrick. And the most important thing is that the Necromantic Witch King now seems to have regained his strength, and he has also assembled the Nightmare Legion of the Undead. You also know these undead, ordinary swords cannot kill. Although the holy water will be effective, it is obviously impossible to give the holy water to everyone. Therefore, it is almost impossible to defeat the Necronomisam King and his army, unless ......"
The Pope paused and looked at me.
"Have you heard of the Antonio canon of the Church?" asked the Pope
"It is the sacred book left by Antonio, the founder of the Church, and it is the supreme law of the Church. Frant said casually
"Yes, this young man knows a lot. "Apparently the Pope did not recognize Frante
After several years of polishing, it is difficult for Franter to tell from his appearance that he was once a knight of the Order.
"In this Antonio tome, I found a strange scroll, which was not left by San Antonio, but by the necromancer Lancelot. What's even more strange is that that scroll is a scroll of time and space, which is actually a door to time and space, but the key to open it was written in dragon language by Larrick Field himself. I don't know how the Necrosol Witch King did it, but I struggled to find you, Laric Field. The Pope continued
Seeing the astonishment on our faces, the Pope broke the news.
In fact, there is another sentence in that passage, which is the truth of the matter and the way to defeat me. So, for the sake of us humans, would you like to open this door to space, Mr. Larric?"
"What if it's a trap?" I asked rhetorically, and the years of training had made me a little wary
"But this is the end of the matter, and this is our only hope. "The Pope looked at me with great sincerity, as if I were the savior
"Okay, I'm willing to give it a try, so when will it start?" I could only say yes, and now I can only take one step at a time
"Haha, that's great. I thank you on behalf of all humanity, and without further ado, we will go now. Pope Acxi happily took my hand
His hands were old and strong, and they were warm, and so we came to the place where the Antonio Tome was kept.
The room was large, with a smooth brown marble with a sun-like motif on it.
It was guarded day and night by a group of priests and several Templars, who were the direct knightly forces of the Pope.
To be honest, this Antonio canon is not at all what I imagined.
The book is huge, and without paper, it is a book that radiates divine light, as if it could hold the whole world.
The Antonio canon is read by twelve bishops who release magic to assist the Pope. I saw the pope dressed in white, holding the immortal scepter handed over by the priest, ready to release the spell.
