Chapter Seventy-Five: The Dead City
By the time we reached Vamo Canyon again, the blood had dried up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I led them to the entrance to the underground city, pointed to the entrance wrapped in the phantom array, and told them that this was where the people of the Dark Curia were hiding. They looked at me strangely, and almost said to me, "You're not sick." So I slowly walked into the stony ground under their watchful eyes.
They also walked down with me, and it was very dark below, so the members of the Holy See of Light, accustomed to the light, several began to unleash illumination to illuminate the path under our feet.
As we walked in, I began to feel a strong smell of blood.
I turned my head to look at the leader of the exploration team next to me, his expression was a little solemn, not sniffing his nose, it seems that there is really a smell of blood around, it was not when I came last time, it seems that something happened during the time I was away, thinking of this, my soul sea jumped out of the scene when I injected the power of the abyss demon Buster into the body of a human at that time.
Further down is the real city. The last time I visited, I didn't look closely, but I could still feel a lot of human breath, but this time I only felt a subtle breath of life. Are all these humans dead?
The probe captain's brows furrowed. He looked at me and said, "Didn't you say there are a lot of people from the Dark Church here?" ”
"I don't know, there were a lot of people when I came last time, maybe it had something to do with that sacrifice." I replied vaguely.
"In that case, then you can take me to see what that altar looks like." The Detective Captain preached to me.
I nodded, and led the way towards the altar. As they were about to reach it, a huge roar of unknown creatures was heard, echoing through the hollow and closed underground city. Then our feet began to vibrate, and the sound of huge footsteps approached us quickly.
"Dispel the Illuminati, be on guard." The probe captain gave the order decisively, and a group of people stayed where they were, quietly watching the direction from which the footsteps came. A figure that was not too large gradually emerged, and soon came to us.
In my sight, this creature with a barely human body I recognized at a glance, there were sharp bones on the shoulder bones, knees and elbow joints piercing the skin, and the black blood on his body had been dried up for a long time, it seemed that the humans in this underground city were indeed killed by this creature that looked like an abyssal demon.
"The priest attacks with the holy light, the paladin blesses and blesses the attack, and the priest protects himself and prepares to treat the wounded." The probe leader gave the order decisively, and by this time the creature had already seen us, and with a roar of rage, he rushed towards us, knocking all the corpses and buildings in his path into the air.
The paladins rushed forward with a golden glow, while the priests began to praise the god of light loudly from behind. Soon, a stream of golden holy light shone on the body of the creature who was fighting with the paladin, and black gas continued to emerge from his body, but it had no effect on his attack in the slightest.
"No, it's indeed a sacrifice of the Dark See, but why doesn't the Holy Light have any effect on him, what the hell is going on?" The probe captain muttered to himself. I reminded him at the right time if it had anything to do with the sacrifice.
He seemed to be inspired to hear this, and asked me to lead the way in front, and then ordered the others to stand and retreat as they went, following the large army. Thus we arrived at the high platform of the altar, where the smell of blood was still there, and a layer of the garments of the Holy See of Light was now piled up on the altar. That's what was left of the melted corpses.
The probe captain's face changed when he saw so many clothes, and then he stepped forward and ripped off the clothes that were hidden on the summoning array, and after looking at it for a while, he got up. "This is not the sacrificial circle of the Dark Curia, and the Lord of Darkness will not absorb corpses, so there must be some small evil gods, who like physical sacrifices, either believers who destroy the gods, or believers who are chaotic gods." The probe captain said.
Then he turned and ordered: "All paladins, settle the overture chanting, all the priests and priests, dispel the spell preparation." Hearing such an order, the paladins all jumped back, left the creature's side, quickly adjusted their breathing and began to chant the calming overture, while the priests and priests began to prepare for the dispersal magic that almost all magicians had to learn.
I don't know if it was the chanting of the Stabilization Overture or the dispersal spell that worked, but the holy relic suddenly stopped moving, rolled around in pain with its head in its arms, and after a while settled down and didn't move.
"Guys, pack these clothes, let's go back and preside over the ritual of returning to heaven for these sacrificed warriors of our lord, you, copy down this sacrificial circle, you, collect the things on it, and bring it back to identify..."
After all the operations were done, we took a short break and headed back. After returning to Doren, I was subjected to a detailed review by the Inquisition, and I told me that I was badly wounded, crawled out of the pile of corpses, and then secretly peeked at the story of my "teammates" being carried to the altar, and after repeating the story of my own escape back four or five times, they finally released me.
This was followed by a paper of commendation and five bright magic crystals. This kind of thing is obviously not enough for me to be promoted from the blue robe to the red robe, and that would be too easy, but after all, the large-scale exploration team sent out by the Central Auditorium has confirmed that the group of people who are underground are indeed the remnants of the Dark Church. So they're still going to take credit for me after all.
After that, there was nothing to do with me, although the Light Crusade still had a grudge against me, but after all, this time it was to recruit me to deal with me, so in that team, most of them were members of the Light Crusade, including the ninth-level Light Warrior Alot. In addition, their resource allocation in this military exercise has also been greatly reduced, so it can be said that the loss this time is enough for them to recuperate for a period of time.
So I have nothing to worry about, just carry out the easy and abnormal tasks that are usually arranged, if there is no unexpected situation in a short period of time, then I don't want to have any major tasks, in peacetime, the task basically means the possibility of promotion. So it's impossible to give all the tasks to one person.
Within a few days of such idleness, the badly wounded priest of the ordination priest Khaqip returned to the central auditorium.
