Goodwin, dressed in a red robe and a clergyman's hat, stood at one end of the single-plank bridge by the river.

On the other side of the bridge, white fog filled the air.

The sun fell from one side of the mountain and shone on the surface of the river, and the stream murmured, jumping forward, reflecting the thin points of light, like a long snake covered with golden scales.

The sunlight fell into the white mist and was completely swallowed by the white mist.

"Hey......"

Father Goodwin sighed.

How?

He was at a loss.

The appearance of this treacherous realm in Rock Village is very troublesome, don't look at it as just a cloud of white mist, however, once it spreads, the consequences are unimaginable, until now, they have not found the cause of the generation of white mist, there is no way to find the real core location, if they can't find the source, they can't talk about solving it, and now, they can only use means to restrict it.

It's just that this restriction is also becoming more and more difficult.

At first, using the power of the containment object was able to limit the white mist to the other side of the river, and only in the range of Rock Village, the three red-robed bishops took turns to use the power of the holy relics, so to speak, it was quite easy.

However, this white fog is like some stubborn disease.

There is a so-called drug resistance.

When it adapts to the power of the holy object, the restriction of the holy object on him will gradually loosen, and it will become more and more difficult to limit it to a certain area, if you explode all the power of the holy object, the holy object itself is in danger, even if it is a red robe, you can't ignore it.

At this time, there was a new situation on Huocun's side.

Not only is it dangerous here, but it is difficult to have a harvest, and those who enter the white fog and return safely are all empty-handed, with nothing to be found, and there are no resources in it that can help the transcendental.

Huo Village is different, just in that surface space, there are many medicinal materials, which can be made into magic potions through alchemy, and magic potions are the necessities of the transcendental, without magic potions, there is no so-called transcendental.

So, Father Schneider took some people to Huo Village, and now, only Father Goodwin is in charge of Rock Village.

Goodwin was opposed to this plan.

He always felt that the strange world of Rock Village was very dangerous, like a powerful and strange creature, but it was in the infant stage, a little ignorant, and it was not very suitable for this new world.

Over time, once it has passed the adaptation phase, its self-will gradually awakens.

At that time, it was difficult to limit it, even at great cost.

Therefore, it is necessary to use the power of the human world as much as possible while it is still in its infancy, to obliterate it, so that it has no way to grow.

However, for others, this is just a somewhat absurd hypothesis.

Father Goodwin has no proof, everything is from his intuition, although the intuition of the transcendent cannot be taken lightly, the problem is that other people do not have the same sense as him, especially Father Corrado and Father Schneider of the same level.

The three are all cardinals, but they also have differences between superior and inferior.

Father Corrado is the oldest and has the strongest background, and on the surface, he is the first of the three.

At the age of ten, Father Corrado entered the seminary of the Heavenly Hill, and after graduating, he came to the French Empire, where he served in the cathedral of the imperial capital of Bahrain, where he was also promoted to the rank of Red Robe. After being promoted to the red robe, he was also sent to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Reims City, where he had been in Reims City for a while, as long as he could go further, the parish priest of the Basilica of the Holy Cross would be the only one.

Goodwin and Schneider had similar qualifications.

However, Father Schneider's background is a little deeper, and although it is not a seminary from Heavenly Hill, St. John's Seminary is one of the few powerful seminaries in the French Empire.

Father Goodwin was a monk halfway through the years, and did not enter the seminary until he was in his forties.

It was a small seminary in the southern part of the French Empire, in the middle of the Sun Mountains, in a rare mountain area, where the cliffs were lined with bare stones.

The seminary is located on one of the largest, highest and most steep peaks.

This was originally a place for ascetics to practice, and the entire building was built by those ascetics without using their extraordinary powers, so the courtyard is not large and there are not many buildings.

Hundreds of years ago, the path of ascetics became narrower, especially since several popes considered that asceticism was not the right way to truly serve God, and fewer and fewer clergymen took this path.

It became a seminary.

It's just that, because of tradition, the priests who practice in this seminary are mostly reticent and have the characteristics of asceticism.

Father Goodwin is one of those people.

No one knows about the first half of his body, before he was forty years old, only a piece of paper is recorded, and that paper is stored in a secret archive in Heavenly Mountain, and even Corrado has some jealousy of this skinny and old-looking priest.

Because, even if he had such a deep background, he did not have the right to consult Father Goodwin's file.

Therefore, although Father Corrado and Father Schneider did not accept Goodwin's idea as a fantasy, they did not veto his plan to take back all the peripheral characters and rearm them in Rock Village.

They acquiesced to Father Goodwin's own actions.

If the plan is successful, it will naturally be everyone's credit, and if it fails, it will be Goodwin who bears the blame.

Why not?

Ten minutes later, a figure appeared across the river.

Father Alfonso walked up to the bridge with the scriptures in his arms, his face was pale, his back was bent, his steps were slow, he looked extremely tired, and his whole person was as determined as ever.

This is the third time he has successfully come out of the white fog.

However, each time it was more difficult than the last, and this time, it almost consumed the last trace of divine energy of the holy relic in his arms.

Alfonso came to Goodwin, only four or five paces away, and when he stopped, he bowed and bowed to his chest, and Goodwin returned the cross, and then, looking at him, did not speak.

Alfonso understood, and spoke softly.

"Your Excellency, you are right!"

Goodwin still didn't speak, and he spent more than twenty days a month in silence.

It's a bit like the closed-mouth meditation of the Water Blue Star Buddhism.

During the practice time, no talking.

After a pause, Alfonso continued.

"The magic circle has been loosened, and after a while, it will not be able to limit the spread of white mist, we must think of other ways......"

Goodwin nodded.

It seems that the only way to do that is to carry out that plan, to use that thing.

On the mainland, between countries, there have been no major conflicts for decades, magic stone technology is thriving, people live and work in peace and contentment, and it seems to be a peaceful and prosperous world, however, people like Goodwin know that this world is not what it seems.

Tricksters!

Enemy of humanity, source of destruction!

Some things have to be sacrificed!
