However, he said that he had gathered all the clergy, but when Luo Lan arrived, he found that more than a dozen priests had come to the reception hall located in the lord's mansion. 【Fengyun Reading Network.】

He had never been to this place before, and it was like the lord's usual use for prayers and rituals. Ahead was a semi-arc of three steps, slightly higher than where Luo Lan was standing.

On a high table are bronze candlesticks and gilded statues of the god of light, behind which large glazed windows run from top to bottom, and groups of religious frescoes are regularly arranged on the surrounding walls. It is full of light and the atmosphere is solemn and sacred.

Luo Lan's gaze was suddenly taken away by a person standing there.

Devine's eyes are soft and soft, and the perfect silhouette looks like a masterpiece carved from jade in the light.

From her body, you can feel a kind of calmness, a warm and quiet spiritual touch.

She is like a clear lake flowing quietly, with a jewel-like color, but it feels intimate and elusive at the same time.

The white silk ceremonial robe of the priest only complimented her elegant temperament, and in her hand, a staff with a pale texture was spotless without any decoration.

Luo Lan blended in the crowd, his heart moved, and he slowly put on his hood, although he didn't know the purpose of today's rally, he felt that this time should not attract Daphne's attention.

There was not only one person who did this, but there were also four or five people who also hid their faces as if they were hiding some secrets, and the person standing next to Luo Lan was like this. The man did not speak, nor did he look from side to side, but folded his hands and bowed his head, like the most devout believer.

Devany looked at each one lightly, lingering on each one for a moment, but when she glanced at Luo Lan, she paid a few more eyes until she saw Cejess standing behind her. She showed a slight surprise and said in a soft and crisp voice, "This paladin, when did you come to our Sedaon?"

Xi Jiesi bowed slightly and said coldly: "Today." "Although she behaves decently. And the standard of action is like a textbook model, but no one can see that it is just a polite response, and the arrogance that comes out of her bones shows that she does not have much respect for this young and beautiful goddess official. 1０１ｄｕ,.

Devonie stared at her and said, "May I ask you why you came to remote Sedaon?"

"No!" said Cindy stiffly. Her expression was cold, and it was obvious that she not only lacked respect, but also lacked favor.

The corners of Luo Lan's mouth tugged, if you compare Daphne to the soft morning light. Then Cejess is an ice that can't be dissolved, and it seems that she is extraordinarily cold when facing her peers who are equally good at this age.

Devany smiled faintly. Again turned his attention to the clergy present. When she combed through everyone one by one. Nodding thoughtfully, he lightly pursed his lips and said, "Catholics." You must be wondering why you are gathering all of you today. For all the people standing here are clergy who have come here from other places during these three days. ”

Luo Lan's stomach secretly wondered, is there any regional decree to be announced, or is it some routine ceremony?

Since the Holy See only nominally rules the entire Church of Light, the methods of praying to the God of Light are not uniform in various regions, and each region has its own set of ways to perform the rituals.

Devonne's melodious voice continued to spread through the hall, "We welcome all believers who believe in the God of Light," she said in a lower voice, "but not the Death Worshippers who have blended in with us. ”

Almost as soon as Devany finished speaking, Luo Lan felt three different powers at the same time.

It was as if the surface of the most peaceful lake had been broken, causing a wave of fluctuations.

One is the spiritual power implicit in Devonne's language, the power of pure divine prayer, a spiritual weapon to banish evil spirits and dark elements.

The second is the aura of the Bright Saint Seal emanating from Xi Jiesi's body behind her, she suddenly leaned up from behind, tightly protected Luo Lan behind her, and put one hand firmly on the sword, with a vigilant and serious expression.

The last one is the most peculiar, it is like a slowly decomposing corpse, depraved, gloomy, full of ugliness and horror, the coldness of which is like dragging the soul of a man into hell and squeezing all flesh and blood.

And this breath came from the person on Luo Lan's side.

Everyone dispersed vigilantly in all directions, leaving the man in the middle.

Luo Lan noticed in the process of retreating that this person raised a hand that was gray and withered, without a trace of blood, to put it simply, there was probably only a thin layer of skin left there barely hanging on the bone, acting as the last façade.

Necromancer?

The thought immediately crossed his mind, a mysterious and horrible profession he had heard of, for which infamy and ugliness had long been synonymous, that they were the antithesis of countless texts, and that the reputation of a thief seemed as clean as a newborn baby in comparison.

It's just that when did the necromancer dare to mix in with the followers of the God of Light? Light and death have always been like two staggered and opposing spear tips, which can pierce a hole or a bloody hole in each other's body at any time. And it must not

The nature of the light element, which naturally suppresses the dark element, always gives the belief of the god of light the upper hand.

Daphne stood at the top and said coldly in a downward stance, "Followers of the Grim Reaper, just tell me what you are here for, and I can swear to the God of Light that I will not hurt your soul." ”

In this room, in addition to her as a priest, there are surrounding priests and a paladin.

And she dared to expose this mystery in public, presumably she was fully prepared.

The necromancer ignored Devonne's words, and he turned his head stiffly, as if to observe the environment on both sides, even Luo Lan thought he was trying to escape his brain. The next moment, he suddenly slammed up the steps with a swift movement that didn't match the action just now.

He was on all fours like a beast, and a dozen or so meters between Daphne and him was no more than two leaps to him.

The crowd only felt that their eyes were flickering, and his withered white hands stretched out in front of him were already close to Daphne's snow-white throat.

Daphne looked calm, as if everything had been expected by her.

Behind her were statues and candlesticks, and a sacred aura was inviolable.

She gently held the staff in front of her, pointed at the other party's forehead, and said, "Forbidden!"

The necromancer's body jerked, and he maintained a strange movement. It was as if he was being pulled by a pair of invisible hands in the air. Then it fell to the ground with a fluttering thud, as if it had no real weight at all.

But Daphne frowned slightly, as if she had discovered a problem.

Her body couldn't move, it was a spiritual force hidden in the shadows. It seemed that it was a poisonous snake that had been lurking for a long time, and now it had finally bitten her the moment she struck.

A deep voice rang out in the hall: "Lord Priest, I deeply regret that you found me. I had wanted to stay with you a few more days, but since you were so unwelcoming to me, I thought I would have to leave. ”

A man slowly emerged from among the priests around him, who also covered his face with his hood. Unable to see anything wrong with his appearance, he slowly walked to the middle of the hall, his two green eyes gleaming like fireflies staring at Daphne. Good for a while. He exclaimed, "You have such outstanding mental strength at such a young age. I'm really amazed, but your actual combat experience is far from enough. ”

His voice was slightly low and hoarse. But I can't hear the exact age.

Daphne said calmly, "You can't escape. ”

"Escape?" the man was astonished: "Why should I run away?" he sighed as if he remembered something, and said, "You have at least thirty priests and prayer teachers outside the hall, and I confess that under normal circumstances, I would have chosen to retreat from such a situation, but you are overconfident, and it is this confidence that will lead to your failure today. ”

He stretched out his hand and smiled, "I'll just leave here calmly." ”

With his wave, several priests came out and stood behind the man, who reached out and removed their hoods, revealing a dull gaze, one of the priests had a hole in his cheek that had rotted out, and the blackened teeth and the remaining half of the tongue could be seen.

It can be seen that he has either been dead for many days or has been corrupted by some kind of necromancy.

"It must be a pleasure to blaspheme His followers under the seat of the God of Light. The man laughed with great pleasure, and with a gesture of his hand, the last remaining flesh of the priest's body immediately slipped off his body like the smoothest of clothes, revealing the white bones inside, which had never been exposed to the light and looked fresh and clean.

"Affirm," said the man, as if he had completed a work of art, and turned gracefully to face Daphne again, and saluted like a nobleman, "Your Excellency Priest Daphne, my method can be used on living people, and I am sorry to tell you that most of the priests here have been secretly shackled by me, and they are no different from a corpse to me, but I don't know if they are still valuable in your mind?"

Devany said lightly, "Are you threatening me?" but don't forget, there is also a paladin and a high-ranking priest she follows in this hall. She glanced at Luo Lan lightly, revealing a bit of cunning.

The man turned around slowly, his eyes beating like two green fires, scanning Luo Lan and Xi Jiesi.

Luo Lan scolded in his heart, Daphne played this trick enough, and immediately dragged himself into the water, as a nominal believer of the God of Light, he had to make a move, but the timing of the shot needed to be accurate, the reason why he didn't do it until now was because he believed that things were far from being so simple, and Devany must still have something to do, and it wasn't worth his rush to jump out.

He was about to speak, ready to use words to ease the atmosphere between the two, but Xi Jiesi's words broke his last bit of luck, and she said loudly: "My lord, don't worry, I will definitely kill this believer of death in front of you!"

Luo Lan immediately saw the sudden green fire in the other party's gaze, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart.
