It all started with Ryan.

Of course, no one knows the truth, and no one will connect the root of the matter with the teenager imprisoned in the Thorn Place, after all, in the real world, only a very small number of people can feel it.

This is similar to a kind of telepathy, a kind of intuition.

What happened, they had no way of knowing.

In the case of Father Corrado and Father Schneider, they only knew that there was a change, because, in front of the two of them, the Holy Cross, which had been placed on the altar of the church, was constantly shaking, and the gap was also writhing, writhing like a living thing, the hole was growing and expanding, sometimes shrinking, and the divine factor that permeated the hole was disappearing at an unbelievable speed.

The two priests immediately knelt down in front of the altar, chanting the sacred text and drawing a cross on their chests.

After a while, the chanting stopped abruptly.

The divine factor of the two fell on the Holy Cross, and its supplement was only a drop in the bucket, and basically, it did not play any role.

The light on the Holy Cross quickly dissipated, and it looked like a huge rusty iron cross, which, if still on the side of the road, could only be recycled as scrap.

"Lord......"

Father Corrado let out a cry with tears in his eyes.

As the short-term owner of the No. 03 holy relic, he has a sense with the Holy Cross, at this moment, the breath of St. John on the Holy Cross has disappeared, although its root core is still there, it is dormant, and it must be put into the holy pool, after a long period of faith absorption, it does not know how long before it can be used again, and now, it is useless.

The gap slowly closed in front of the two of them, and the aura that came out of it made the two well-informed priests secretly frightened, if it weren't for the existence of St. John's breath at the gap, blocking the impact of that powerful breath, once that breath swept into this space, even if the two of them sacrificed themselves, the divine light that burst out would have no effect.

The gap is closed, which is equivalent to the passage being cut off.

In this case, it is impossible to grasp the existence of the Secret Realm, and there is no possibility of converting this Secret Realm into the Secret Realm, speaking of which, the two priests Corrado and Schneider should feel regret and disappointment, in fact, the two of them do not have that kind of emotion at all.

All that came to their minds was rejoicing.

From the energy fluctuations that erupted from the gap, they were able to deduce the strength of that treacherous creature, even if they mobilized all the transcendents in the south of the entire Fran Empire, they might not be able to conquer that powerful monster, if they wanted to convert this treacherous realm into a secret realm, they didn't know how much it would cost to do it, perhaps, they had to bother Heaven Mountain to make a move.

Such a price, such a sacrifice, is actually not worth it.

Historically, there is a similar story.

A powerful dynasty in order to convert a certain realm into a secret realm, in order to become more powerful, launched a general war, mobilized all the transcendents in the country, as a result, encountered a hard stubble, the loss of troops and generals failed to achieve the original goal, but because of the serious decline in strength, the flaw was discovered by the foreign enemy, so it launched a war to destroy the country, which became a few lines of text in the history books, and no longer existed in the real world.

So, Corrado and Schneider secretly rejoiced.

Although the Holy Cross has been badly damaged and the breath of St. John has dissipated, its roots are still there, and in the future, it only needs to be placed in the holy pool to recuperate, absorb the power of faith, and regain the light of glory.

Being able to block that powerful existence in the Endless Void and cut it off from the real world is actually nothing at a price.

After all, they didn't get nothing either.

Although most of the magical creatures in this space have been destroyed, as long as this space exists, it can be transplanted, and those extraordinary materials can be cultivated, which is equivalent to a small secret realm, even if it is to be shared with Iris and Lance City, the result is not bad.

So, these two people secretly rejoiced.

Only, behind that gap, what really happened?

What was it about the change that caused St. John's breath to dissipate?

These questions are still lingering in the hearts of the two of them, and they have not gone for a long time.

......

The real world, Huo Village.

In the Thorn Room, Ryan Charles sat cross-legged, his body trembling slightly, and on him, there were shimmers of light, these shimmers changed color, like a human-shaped lantern.

It was as if there was a lot of breath trying to emerge from his body.

It's just that these breaths can only permeate about an inch outside his body, and if they exceed an inch, they will be extinguished immediately.

Even, they failed to elicit a reaction from the Thorns, which remained silent, unchanged.

Therefore, the guard in charge of guarding the place of thorns did not even turn his head, but still leaned back against the pine tree, looking down the hillside, and below the hillside, a girl in black carried a jug of water on her shoulder, and was looking up.

The guard was a knight, not a true triage cathar, but a temporary employee like Pep Guardiola who was hired by the Templars, who were overstaffed and who were not very religious in their faith.

There are also high and low knights, there are conservatives who follow the way of knighthood, such as David Silva, and realists like guards, and in this day and age, realists are the majority.

He looked at the black-clothed girl at the bottom of the hillside, and only one thought came to his mind.

That's what this girl looks like, isn't she good-looking?

However, the girl in black did not look up for a long time, and when the guard looked carefully, she also lowered her head and continued to walk forward with the jug of water, and soon, disappeared from the guard's sight.

Martti Esmeralda didn't know why he was looking up the mountain.

She knew that Ryan Charles was there, being held in the Thorn Chamber.

She wasn't really worried about that.

She believed that Ryan Charles had not been polluted by the aura of the Strange World, and that it was impossible for her to fall into the Devil, and that she was a powerful instrument for the Demon, for the source of the pollution, and it was impossible for her to hide it.

However, as she passed by, she couldn't help but glance up.

In fact, she didn't need to go this way to get water, it was much closer to get water from another way, and she herself walked to this road unconsciously, and at that time, I felt a little confused in my mind.

The moment she looked out was the time when her mind was the most unclear.

There, there seemed to be something that attracted her.

Her eyebrows were itching, and she endured it for a while, so she didn't let that eye open.

When the guards looked over, she regained consciousness and left with her head bowed.
