Chapter 1608: The Lost Relic
Just as Rhodes cast a spell and escaped, outside the Treasure House in the Clouds, the battle was nearing its end.
With an explosion that resounded throughout the sky, a large cloud of darkness fell from the sky, and everything in its path lost its light.
Among the clouds, the golden seraphim stared indifferently at everything below.
"Holy Archangel Gabriel, thou hast preached the gospel throughout the earth, and thy glory shall shine and immortal......"
Nearby, the angels who had fallen into chaos in the darkness sang their praises at this moment.
"What is the situation inside the treasure house? What treasures are missing? Ignoring the falling enemy, she asked quickly.
"We're counting all the treasures. In addition, we also found undead creatures in the treasure house......"
"Undead creatures?" She looked surprised, if it weren't for the angel's reminder, she would have thought that it was just an ordinary thief who sneaked into the treasure house, but now it seems that the situation is not so simple, "Take me to see." ”
Soon, she and those angels, across the barrier of space, came to the inside of the treasure house together.
In the mountains of gold coins, a huge and neat ravine appeared in her eyes.
On one side of the ravine, a crucified vampire covered in blue and purple caught her attention.
"Have you found out where this vampire came from?" She asked.
"Found out." An angel with only a pair of wings replied, "He was a high-ranking priest who entered the Treasure House four centuries ago, and was blessed with a divine curse and turned into a soul state. Because he was so close to the source of the curse, we never managed to get him out. ”
"Soul state? He should have no body, right, how did he become an undead creature? She asked.
"This ...... We haven't found out yet. The angel didn't know how to answer.
She was about to say something when another angel flew over from a distance and quickly reported, "We've found out the missing treasures, except for the artifact parts that are the reward for the bounty?" Even the holy relics are gone......"
"What?" Gabriel's complexion changed instantly? What are few things that can make her so excited? Even when fighting a strong enemy? She also maintained a calm look.
"Also, judging by the residual breath on the ground nearby? In addition to the vampire, there is also a thief in the treasure house? And where did he end up? It was in that ravine. The angel continued.
After hearing such news, the archangel with the golden crown and golden armor spread his pure white wings and prepared to go to the deep ravine to find out.
Just as she was about to make a move, another burst of divine aura? Passed from behind her.
"Don't you all go near there? It is already very close to the source of sinful karma, and any angel who comes near it will be cursed there and will perish forever in the curse. ”
Hearing this male voice, she turned around? I noticed another seraphim with long black hair who appeared with it. She knew, though the words of the Seraphim? It looks like she's commanding the other angels, but it's actually telling her.
Looking at Raphael, who is also one of the archangels with her? She said slowly, "The relics have been lost, the thief who stole the relics? Probably hiding there? I can't just wait. ”
"You know what the relics symbolize." The black-haired angel shook his head: "Can I feel it?" There is no soulless breath below, there is no living thing, and the thief should have left with a space spell. ”
Hearing the black-haired angel say this, she sighed deeply: "It seems that the thief has fled, and he dares to attack the idea of the holy relic...... In addition to the loss of the Relic, we also lost an artifact part. ”
"Which artifact part?" The black-haired angel asked in surprise, looking at the nearby angel.
"It's a magic orb that condenses magical power, and was used to reward evil necromancers." Nearby, an angel quickly replied.
Hearing this, the black-haired angel's face suddenly changed, and he seemed to want to say something, but his face couldn't maintain the original calm: "I heard that there are traces of undead creatures in the treasure house, and outside the treasure house, there is a thief's cover, do you know what this means?" ”
"What?" She asked with a frown.
"Those thieves in the dark are likely to have joined forces with necromancers." The black-haired angel said in a deep voice, "We have been silent for too long, and those humans who have turned their backs on God have forgotten God's authority, and even places like the Treasure House in the Clouds dare to come and offend. ”
"Have you already decided? Put the sacred treasure you are guarding into his hands......" she asked, looking at the black-haired angel.
"Yes." The black-haired angel nodded, "Those heretics are getting more and more rampant, and before long, greater evil, as well as the original karma, will return to the world, we need a strong guardian, we need miracles......"
"Miracles......" she seemed to think of something, and her expression fell, "how is the Word One?" He's been by your side all this time. ”
"His mindset has changed." The black-haired angel replied slowly, "He is working with me to select prophets of noble character from among the human race, and grant them the power to fight against the greater evil that will soon follow." ”
She nodded, and then let out a deep sigh: "If the Stigmata were still alive, this world would not be what it is now...... We were in charge of all the creations that belonged to God, so that simple and kind human beings could live in the center of the continent in peace, but unfortunately, the priest destroyed everything, and with the fall of the Stigmata, everything changed. ”
"Don't mention the past." The black-haired angel also sighed, and his eyes showed a bit of remembrance and nostalgia, but he did not dwell on the memories of the past, and quickly returned to his original calm.
He swept his gaze across the earth, finally resting on the ravines in the pile of gold coins.
"The remains of the Stigmata are buried here. Even if he has long since fallen, his body will never stop bearing the sins of other creatures, and you must not go near it. The black-haired angel admonished.
"I knew what you said hundreds of years ago." She glared at the dark-haired angel, "I just wanted to go down there, looking for traces of that thief." ”
"That's not going to work either." The black-haired angel shook his head, "What exists below is the deepest curse in the world, the curse has eroded everything in the treasure, once you sink in the curse, we have less certainty against evil." ”
"I see, are you satisfied?" She glanced disapprenantly at the black-haired angel.
"On my way here, I met a fallen hero, and it took a lot of effort to defeat him, and it seems that the treasure house in the clouds has attracted the attention of many heretics." He said slowly, "I will have a prophet come here so that he can see the future from the Revelation in advance, so that no one will break into the treasure house again." ”
