It's too slow.

Standing on the altar, looking at the cultists who were busy below, with a gloomy face in the black robe, he stretched out his hand and looked at the flickering flame light in his palm, as if it was a portrayal of his mood at the moment, and the dark red light between the gaps in his palm gradually became vivid.

According to the plan, that idiot should have arrived in this ruined city with his captives now, why hasn't there been any trace of it until now? Could it be that something happened to him? Or is it that you are delayed in some trouble? Probably not? That guy has his own communication skills, and if he encounters any problems, he should contact him as soon as possible.........

Of course, the Doom Mage didn't know, and the bald mage Charles naturally wanted to contact him, but the problem was that his brain was locked by Nimfu's invasion, so that he couldn't use even the slightest magic now. That's why, until now, the Doom Mage has been ignorant of what is happening in the camp.

However, it's almost time to reach the limit.

"Smack."

The Doom Mage stood up, snapped his fingers, and soon, he saw a little demon hovering in the sky fly up and kneel respectfully in front of the Doom Mage.

"Go and see what happened to that idiot."

Hearing the Destroyer's command, the little demon let out a low cry, and then it spread its wings and flew into the air. After turning around, I turned around and flew in the direction of the mountains.

"I'm in trouble."

At the same time, Founder also got the news over there through Nimfu's report.

"The other party seems to have become suspicious, and they sent a little demon to check on the situation in the camp."

"It's not easy to delay for so long......... What should I do, do you want me to send someone to intercept that little demon? ”

"You'd better not do that."

As soon as Stone's words fell, he saw the thin old man in the bishop's robe shaking his head with a gloomy face.

"Little demons are summoned by summoners, and there is telepathy between them, once you do it, even if you kill the little demons. If the Doom Mage is aware of it, then everything we have done will be in vain. ”

"What then?"

Hearing the old man's answer, Stone frowned.

"You can't just let it investigate, that little demon has found the camp ........."

"Leave it to me."

However, before Stone could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old man.

"I'm going to deal with that little demon, which should buy us some time, but ........."

Saying this, the old man glanced at the sky.

"If by the time the Guiding Star appears, reinforcements haven't arrived, then we'll have to do it. Once the doom mage realizes that something is wrong, things will get even more complicated........."

"Okay."

Hearing the old man's answer, Stone's thought for a while, and finally nodded helplessly.

"That's all there is to it, please be careful."

"Don't worry."

In the face of Stone's words, a gloomy smile appeared on the old man's cold face.

"I've outlived you, and this kind of thing couldn't be easier for me."

"Huh!"

I saw that behind this old man, a pair of pitch-black, bat-like wings suddenly grew. At the same time, the old man's tall and thin body, which had been like an air-dried specimen, began to swell, and his white hair began to turn black. Just in the blink of an eye, the old man who looked tall and thin before, almost to the point of being in his last years, became a handsome and dashing man, and the expression on his face at this moment did not have the cold and repulsive appearance of being thousands of miles away, but with a gentle and elegant smile, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

I saw the "old" bishop smile and nod at Fang Zheng, and then he spread his wings and rushed into the sky like a lightning bolt.

What the heck?!

Fang Zheng stared at the distant figure of the "old" bishop in a daze, his mouth wide open, and he didn't know what to say at all. He blinked, then looked at Stone beside him.

Clearly, he needed an answer.

"I'm surprised."

Stone obviously enjoyed Fang Zheng's reaction, and at this moment he looked at Fang Zheng with a smile before he replied.

"Don't look at this Lord Karl as a serious and rigid person, but he is a vampire count, and he is a devout disciple of the Temple."

“…………… Are there still vampires in the temple? ”

Fang Zheng only felt that all he had read before was a fake novel.

"Of course."

Facing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Stone nodded.

"The Temple of Order is about order, and we welcome all like-minded members to join us in our efforts to protect order. Regardless of race, occupation, or origin. As long as you are willing to guard the order and fight against Chaos, you are our friends. ”

"But......... Shouldn't vampires be bloodsuckers? ”

Fang Zheng was completely incomprehensible at this point.

"Of course, ordinary vampires need blood, but a devout person like Bishop Karl has been able to draw enough power from the Light that he doesn't need blood unless it's a critical moment."

"So there are a lot of vampires in the Temple?"

Wow, this temple is so big.

"Of course not."

Facing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Stone shook his head.

"In fact, only a small percentage of vampires can resist the temptation of blood to join the temple and become one of us, and most of them cannot live without the power and joy that blood brings them, and they cannot abandon this evil behavior, so we simply accept as our companions those who are like-minded with us and willing to abandon this bad habit."

"That......... Aren't you worried that they'll say one thing and do another? ”

"Of course not, these vampires also make sacred vows while gaining power through the Light, and once they break their vows, the Light within them will turn into flames and burn these oath-breakers to ashes. Of course, this isn't just for vampires. ”

"I see......"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded, he finally understood what Stone meant. That is, if vampires are likened to addicts, then the temple is more like a drug rehabilitation center. If there are vampires who want to get rid of this "addiction", then the temple will help them and become their companions. Of course, this is limited to those vampires who are willing to take the initiative to be guided by the Light of Order, and those who are still immersed in blood and power are also targeted.

"And what about the lich?"

"Lichs are different."

As soon as he mentioned this topic, Stone's face suddenly became serious.

"Vampires can be forgiven, because many of them are forced to become vampires, but unlike the lich, they voluntarily gave up their lives and transformed into immortal beings, and the lich plays with the souls of mortals and makes them unrestful, which is absolutely not allowed, so necromancers and lichs have always been our targets."

"I see.........

Hearing this, Fang Zheng finally had a clear understanding of the attitude of the Temple, and it was obvious that the Temple judged who their enemies were, not simply by their origins, but more by their actions. Like the Lich and Necromancer, the Temple destroyed them not because of who they were, but because of the sinful deeds of the sleeping dead......... Well, thinking of this, Fang Zheng decided to hide the soul stones of Masayr and Arthas a little deeper......... It seems that in the Overworld, these two are absolutely useless.

The vampire bishop's movements were apparently quick, and it wasn't long before Fang Zheng and Stone saw him return again. But unlike before, this time behind the old bishop, there is also a little demon. But at this moment, this little demon completely lost the cunning and murderous appearance that Fang Zheng had seen before, but his eyes were glazed, and he looked like a puppet———Well, considering that this old bishop was a vampire, Fang Zheng felt that he had guessed what he had done to that little demon.

The crisis was lifted temporarily, but the situation did not improve.

Time passed minute by minute, until nightfall, and reinforcements finally arrived at the last moment.

However, they brought with them an even more surprising news.

The Fortress of Order is in danger!
