Chapter 36: The Gates of Hell

The Church of Light suppressed the God of Light, and the tall figure was right, a great irony.

The light gathered in the main hall and disappeared, and Alena's figure disappeared with it, leaving only the presiding judge, who was blown into the courtyard, staring at the ruins in front of him in a lost sight and silent.

The shaking of the church was confined to the courtyard where the basilica was located, which the presiding judge quickly cordoned off, and most people had no idea what was going on inside.

The atmosphere in Tria became more and more oppressive, especially when Sost was hiding in the tavern and gambling with people.

Yes, he didn't leave, he still hid in this bustling city, enjoying the thrill.

At the same time, the actions of the church could not hide from his eyes, and the lower circles of Tria had a lot of his eyeliners, which was nothing more than spending a little more gold.

He knew he had succeeded, and the church was mindful of the coming end, but he didn't know what he was going to do next.

Go back to Sears to find Ferrante?No, according to his temper, it would be a pity not to get involved in such a momentous incident.

But what way to whitewash himself has become his main thinking, after all, the last time the statue of light collapsed, it had something to do with him.

"Twelve, you lose. ”

Sost smiled and took the gold coins on the table into his arms, exhaled a puff of smoke, patted the ancient books in his pocket, ordered a cheap ale for his defeated general, and left the tavern humming an unknown tune.

It was already dark, and walking along the street towards the docks was where Sost now stands.

When he passed by the cake shop, he also stopped to buy a small piece of cake, and after midnight tonight, it was Yafanka's birthday, which was one of the few things she remembered.

Although she can't eat, life must have a sense of ritual, and with Yavan Ka, Sost is not short of gold coins.

The streets are getting farther and farther away, and the people are getting rougher, and there are no poor people in Tria who die of hunger, only outlaws who lose their lives in the fire.

It's a mess on the streets here, and if it's messy enough for two silver coins, you'll have someone to solve your needs, well, the kind that solves it on the street.

In the midst of the noise, Sost got closer and closer to the bridge of the dock where he was temporarily staying, but as he passed the bend, he heard foul language in an alley.

Well, people who want to solve their needs without giving money.

He shook his head as if he hadn't heard, but ten seconds later, he gritted his teeth and walked back.

"It's hard to imagine that this is at the feet of the god of light. ”

Blue light flashed through the tips of his fingers, and wisps of ice crystals appeared on the walls, spreading deeper into the alley.

But at this moment, four terrible screams came from the alley, and a pale hand grasped Sost, making him instantly put away his magic.

"Let's go!"

His eyes changed several times, and Sost finally pulled the ragged girl out of the place, but he didn't see the four charred corpses in the alley that had been reduced to ashes.

......

An oil lamp hangs outside the bridge, which has been converted into a hut by Sost with planks and magic.

With a warm cup of coffee, Soster looked at the girl in front of him with great interest.

Although the clothes were ragged, there was no smell of the people in the bottom circles, but more like the daughter of a noble family.

Especially those eyes, which are so bright that they dare not be looked at directly, with a chilling coldness.

"Aren't you going to let her out to breathe?"

Sost's abrupt opening startled Sost, and she was about to deal with it casually when she pointed to her pocket with a smile on her lips.

"Who are you......" Sost's eyes narrowed as his expression became serious.

Thump!

The ancient books in the pocket of the trench coat fell to the ground, and Yafanka's soul floated out, and she was about to say hello, but she suddenly screamed, covering her eyes with her palms, as if there was a blinding light on Alena's body that made her unable to look directly.

Thorst instantly got up and took a step back, believing that the blue ice crystals were looming, and he was on guard.

"Do you want to be a part of the resistance to the end of the world?" Alena didn't move, still smiling at Sost, "what a great adventurer. ”

“......”

"Do a business, you and I join hands. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Expand your influence, you whitewash, and I will enter the Church of Light. ”

Alena's tone was gentle, but her heart was filled with a volcanic rage.

Sost's hand was not lowered, and he pondered the offer carefully, and it was clear that the uninvited guest had not come across it by chance.

After a long time, the oil lamp outside the bridge burned out, and Sost slowly lowered his hands, and Yafanka was still hiding behind him, very afraid of Alena.

"How to do it, and where to start?"

"Just starting with Tria, don't you think it's too ...... Is it dirty?"

"It's really not very clean. ”

A week later, the Pope of Light led the church staff back to Tria, and when he stood in front of the Great Hall of Light, the whole person fell into deep thought.

The ruins in the main hall remained as they were, and the presiding judge recounted the events of the day in detail.

"So, the devil escaped in the end?"

"I'm afraid so, His Majesty the Pope. ”

"Any clues?"

“...... No, though...... Recently, the royal family has been pressing, and the bottom circle of Tria is not peaceful. ”

The Light Pope frowned and twisted his head: "Tell me carefully. ”

"In the past week, a lot of people have died in the lower circles of Tria, especially in the docklands, at first I thought it was a force conflict, but recently more and more people have died, which has attracted the attention of the royal family, and His Majesty the King has been sending people to the Church of Light to ask for an explanation. ”

"Want an explanation?"

"Yes, all those who die are dying under the magic of light, and the holy fire, the holy light, is our means. ”

The Pope took a deep breath: "What about the result?"

"The Inquisition has sent people to secretly monitor the docks, but they have not yet found anything, and the clergy in Tria are also in the surveillance area, and no one has been found. ”

"Check! At this time, the most undisturbed relationship is the royal family, find out the murderer!"

......

Thirty years, the Western Continent, this is the countdown to the end obtained from the Academy of Magic, it should be a time when everyone is united and working together, but Tria is not so stable.

There are still people dying every day, dying under the magic of light, and the royal family is still insisting that this is the action of the Church of Light, but the Church of Light has to track down the murderer on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has to investigate the 'devil' who broke the seal, which is simply anxious.

And the culprits behind the scenes, Sost and Alena are still active in the dark corners of Tria.

Sost is in charge of finding out the news, while Alena is in charge of dealing with the less 'bright' mongrels.

After being suppressed by her faith for thousands of years, Alena is now too weak to even mobilize the power of the Light, and she needs to regain the Light and the faith of her followers.

But she refused to let anyone know about it, and the guy was still alive, and even took the other half of the key to hell.

The most important thing is that she looks at Tria today, which is really unpleasant.

In this way, the wrath of the god of light gradually spread in the corners of the city, as if the gates of hell were opened for the stubbornness of the gods and the bedbugs of the gutter.

If Tria's Gate of Hell is just a metaphor, then the real Gate of Hell was slowly opened at this time.

In the stormy sea between the north and the south, on the small island surrounded by countless whirlpools, a thick black mist rose up, and a tall black figure appeared.

A rotten shovel appeared in the palm of the tall figure's hand, and under the fierce blowing of the wind, under the thunder of the cloudy clouds in the sky, the shovel emitted a hazy gray light.

The tall figure laughed, slowly put the shovel on the ground, and with a loud bang, the invisible impact made the entire island vacuum in an instant.

A whirlpool appeared on the ground, and the breath of death spread out from it, the whirlpool grew larger and larger, death corroded the surrounding land, and a huge gate of black mist rose.

The hundred-meter-high giant gate is carved with countless souls, and a round of black sun comes to life at the highest point.

The tall figure nodded in satisfaction, and was about to step into the door, but was interrupted by a voice and froze in place.

"I thought you would be the calmest, most observant one, Wells. ”
