Act122 Dark Relic I

In the early morning of March 1, in the distant sky of Ensada, the morning light had already revealed a little light

The "Three Horsemen of Morin" meet again, but the background around them is the devastation of a once-bustling city. En'com for a long time, when one eye after another intertwined, no one made any sound, and the atmosphere was as quiet as a cloudy bay before a storm

The fate of ordinary people is like a boat floating in the sea, which is so insignificant in this great change and catastrophe.

The fire is still burning.

The buildings were filled with smoke and dust, the air was a little hot, and a complex smell of burning filled everyone's nostrils, and some people even choked and coughed, and the soldiers were busy extinguishing the spreading fire, and in the reflection of the red fire, a beautiful face covered with tears was looking ahead.

She whispered a name.

A familiar name.

**********

Even though too many things happened in Ensada this night, time still passed little by little

Anxious, Gross carried the sleeping Violet all the way back to the church in the city with the priest, Lady Askia. However, in front of the steps of the church, he encountered another figure, not just a single figure, to be precise, but a dozen or so church knights in silver-white armor.

He recognized one of them.

It was a young man with blonde hair, with a serious expression, staring at his face.

He had met the blonde young man not long before the night, but he could never say that he knew or was familiar with him, but what he didn't know was that Conrad Phoenix already knew his name and identity, and when he saw him coming, his mind was full of thoughts.

Conrad glanced at Gross's weapon

At that time, he did not recognize the weapon, but had a gut feeling that it was not extraordinary, and when he returned to the church and told a high-ranking priest he knew about these things, he could finally make a rough conclusion:

It's a dark artifact.

Of course, the "dark relic" is only the name of the people in the church, but when this description is applied to a weapon, it means that this weapon has extraordinary dark powers.

His gaze followed Gross's footsteps, and beside him, the knights and priests couldn't help but frown after noticing this strange fluctuation of power

Had it not been for the arrival of Ms. Esquea and Gross, they would have at least given a stern reprimand.

This scene in front of the church of Ensada did not hide from Gross and Ms. Esquea.

In fact, Gross had sensed some hostility in these people. However, it is really not suitable to deal with these gods at this fateful time, he knows very well that most of the people in the church are people with one brain, and there is no need to conflict with them at this time

He glanced down at the Violet girl in his arms, who was still asleep, her eyelashes fluttering gently with her breathing, and she looked serene.

But the girl's real health was very bad, and he had already known it from Lady Askia's mouth.

After less than a second of silence, Gross untied the [Soul Snatcher's Scythe] from behind. It was Conrad Felix who took the weapon, and the knight, who had some background, quickly looked at the presiding lady of the church, Lady Askia, who seemed to be slightly distracted, until Conrad's footsteps suddenly stopped beside her, and then slowly raised his head.

"Gross, I'm sorry, but this unclean weapon can't enter the place where the gods are watching."

"I know."

Gross had already expected this, and it was even very likely that the group of clergy in front of him would confiscate the weapon

Possession of items from the unclean dead had always been considered taboo by the Church of the Holy Radiance, as he had known in his previous games, but if the owner of the item took the initiative to hand over such forbidden items to the Church, he would often be rewarded with a large amount of Church reputation and item rewards.

But now Gross is not in the mood to think about these things.

Following in the footsteps of Ms. Esquea and Gross, the crowd at the steps of the church made a gap

The clock did not ring at zero o'clock in Ensada on this chaotic night, and in the hours that followed, the old bell-ringer, who had been working diligently, seemed to suddenly disappear, and the bell tower towering in Ensada was as silent as death, in stark contrast to the chaos in the city

In fact, the old bell-ringer had returned to the bell tower after leaving the "Grey Bird" tavern, but instead of climbing the steps to the top as usual, he stopped halfway and looked at the moon in the vast night sky.

His lips seemed to tremble, but a pair of cloudy eyes showed a ray of essence at this time, and his stiff back became erect because of old age, and if anyone stood beside him, he could definitely hear the old man muttering something strange.

It's a pity that the old bell ringer didn't have even one listener by his side.

He's just talking to himself, like an authentic magic stick

All this that happened in the city of Ensada tonight seemed to be a verification of some terrible language. The old bell-ringer was terrified, but a gentleman of mysterious origin once told him that if he was willing to do something, he would have eternal life

Eternal life? No, no. The figure of the old bell ringer was immersed in a bleak black shadow, he shook his head, he had no interest in the so-called "eternal life", although he was not a believer in the Holy Radiance, he knew that "eternal life" was the only way.

Such an ugly appearance was not what he expected.

What's more, he has lived alone enough in this world, and he doesn't have too much nostalgia and reluctance.

He sighed and walked slowly under the bell tower.

It's just that at this time, the bell tower suddenly rang the familiar bell, and the bell echoed in the sky over the city, and the old bell ringer couldn't help but breathe, he took a breath suddenly, and found that the smell of blood in the air became more and more viscous.

With the entry of the territorial soldiers into the city and the turn of the "Three Horsemen of Morin", the turmoil at night is subsiding little by little. But no one could have imagined that an even bigger storm was quietly brewing.

In Ensada's church, the girl Violet on the bed fell asleep again, her weak body covered with a warm and soft white bedding, and Ms. Esquea sat on a round chair, looking a little tired, but nevertheless she kept an eye on the girl

After the treatment of the gods, the girl was awake for a while, but the weak body did not allow the girl to recover much energy, she glanced at Gross and Miss Esquea, who were with her, and after showing a shallow smile, her head slowly fell back on the cloth pillow.

Gross stood to the side, making eye contact with Lady Askia, and for a long time, when he saw Lady Askia's expression again, he finally couldn't help but ask.
