Chapter 16: The Church of Radiance

Suck!

A sharp arrow flew out from ahead.

Sauron's ears moved slightly, his brows couldn't help frowning, and in an instant, his shot was like lightning, and in the disbelief expression on the other party's face, he directly grabbed the sharp arrow with his bare hands.

Catch the arrow with your bare hands!

There was a dead silence all around, and the thief who had just shot an arrow on the other side couldn't help but grow his mouth.

He had just seen the paladin stunned by Sauron's move, and without thinking much about it, he shot an arrow to avoid the enemy, but he didn't expect that this would be the result, and the other party would be able to catch the arrow with his bare hands.

Almost instantly.

The team of adventurers in front of them realized that they might not all of them combined be the opponents of this man.

Sauron stared at the group of people in front of him.

A paladin, a priest, a wanderer, a ranger, and the last one is not very recognizable in a robe, but the chances of belonging to the caster are high, either a wizard or a warlock.

It's a standard adventure squad!

Paladins and Ranger replaced warriors and barbarians, and the Wanderer looked like a veteran, and his reflexes were the fastest of all.

This risk-taking party configuration is enough for most situations.

The expression on the face of the young pastor changed rapidly, at first worried and surprised, then confused and contemplative, and then a look of shock on her face.

Because she recognized Sauron in front of her!

Half a year.

Sauron hasn't changed much in appearance, what has really changed is the momentum in him, from a down-and-out thief in Amber City to the most powerful pirate king on the South Coast.

The changes that happened to him made his momentum completely different!

"You! ā€¦ā€¦ā€

The young priest couldn't help but take a step forward in surprise, and the wanderer next to her grabbed her very vigilantly, and An Lia still had an expression of disbelief on her face, and muttered, "You are Sauron?!" ā€¦ā€¦ā€

Know?

Hearing the young priest in front of them shout Sauron's name, the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the man in front of him is undoubtedly impossible to defeat.

If you know it, you might be able to avoid this battle. Although they haven't fought yet, the rest of the adventurer's team has already been scared into a cold sweat, Sauron doesn't know how many lives have been ended along the way, this kind of murderous aura is not something that adventurers of their level can fight, not to mention that Sauron still has the terrifying gaze given by divinity. If you change to someone with a slightly weaker willpower, you may be scared out of your legs.

Sonorous!

Sauron withdrew his scimitar, his gaze fell on the young priest in front of him, and nodded lightly, "Long time no see!" ā€

"You! ā€¦ā€¦ā€

The expression on the face of the young priest was a little complicated, and she said slowly: "You are not dead!" That's great! With such a big incident happening that day, I've been worried about your and Vivien's safety. But the next day when I went to the slums. It's in ruins, and I've been looking for a long time without finding any trace of you. ā€

"Is Vivien alright?"

The expression on Sauron's face softened a little, and he said softly, "Vivien is fine. We had already left Amber City a day early. ā€

The young pastor's face was full of doubt.

It seems that she has a lot of questions in her heart, such as why Sauron is here, how can his strength be so strong in just over half a year. You must know that after such a big thing happened in Amber City, she also put in double her efforts, and finally advanced to become a third-order priest, but now it seems that she may not be able to go through the time of Sauron's hands.

Sauron didn't mean much.

He glanced at the rest of the adventurer's squad. He said in a deep voice, "You are here because you are passing by on another mission, or are you here to investigate the Eyeless?" ā€

Silent.

In the face of Sauron's question, the others were visibly silent, and there was a slight hesitation on the face of the young priest. Gritted his teeth, he said, "We have received a task to investigate their identities!" Are they called the Eyeless? Do you know who they are? ā€

Don't even know what happens to the eyeless?

Sauron couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and he didn't know if they were too bold or in a hurry to die, and said in a deep voice: "If it's really to investigate the Eyeless. I'll build yƬ you go back now and let the high-level professionals be sent over, with your current strength, it's okay if you can't find them, I'm afraid that none of them will be able to go back alive! ā€

Alarmist?

Or is it true?

Sauron's words made the others look solemn. The ranger and the thief next to him glanced at each other, leaned over slightly and said, "Your Excellency! Do you know about them? These people have killed many ordinary people, and recently some people in the church have been investigating them. ā€

With Sauron's strength.

Whether it is good or evil, it is worthy of their honorific title.

Sauron glanced down at the unconscious paladin, thought for a moment, and said, "The Eyeless One." An organization that believes in evil gods, they like to gouge out the eyes of enemies after killing them, and prefer to gouge out the eyes of living people directly during sacrifice ceremonies. I'm not sure what kind of powerful followers they came out of, but I do know that there are two legendary pros among them. ā€

"With your strength, you are simply going to die."

Silent.

The girl's pastor's expression was a little stiff, and she said slowly, "But the church has no way to mobilize manpower anymore." Recently, the movement of vampires has been abnormal, and high-ranking priests have been sent out to deal with those vampires. ā€

Bloodsucker?

Could it be related to the vampire gods?

Sauron's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with the vampire lately?" ā€

There was a slight hesitation on the priest's face, and then she spoke, "There are many vampire minions in the south and north, and we suspect that there is a vampire church that is constantly transforming ordinary people into vampires. Recently, the priest of the Lord of Radiance is gathering people, and the spread of vampires is a great threat to the lives of ordinary people, and all the high-ranking members of the church have been sent out to deal with them. ā€

It really looks like Reinhardt, the son of the vampire god!

As a god of fear with the priesthood of a vampire, he must have enough followers if he wants to expand his divine power.

Ordinary people cannot become his believers.

His core priesthood is the Lord of Vampires, which greatly limits his ability to recruit followers, so if he wants to expand his faith, then he must convert others into vampires. However, there are too many vampires, which in turn will threaten ordinary people, after all, the food source of vampires is needless to say, and the appearance of too many vampire minions is definitely a disaster for ordinary people. This kind of thing will inevitably attract the attention of the Lord of Light, and the young pastor, as a follower of the Dawn Light, needs to cooperate with the actions of the Lord of Light's church many times.

Because the Dawn Light is one of the gods of the Radiant Divine System!

"Do you want to help her?"

Sauron's heart couldn't help but fall into deep thought, he was still somewhat sure of dealing with the Eyeless One, that is, he didn't like dealing with paladins very much, and others might not trust him.

However, to help them get rid of the Eyeless, maybe they can find a way to get the people of the Radiant Church to focus on the vampire gods.

As the backbone of the good camp.

They would never allow a creature like a vampire to spread, which meant that the Church of Radiance and the vampire god son were more antagonistic and basically impossible to reconcile.

The vampire god son is Sauron's worst enemy at the moment.

And as the biggest pirate king on the south coast, he may not be his opponent now, after all, the other party has successfully become a god.

Sauron doesn't like to owe favors to others.

So after thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Follow me." I'll help you track them down! ā€

With that, he turned and headed in one direction.

The team of adventurers behind them glanced at each other in obvious surprise, and finally turned their gaze to the young priest, who immediately stepped forward to help the unconscious paladin after nodding her head, and then quickly followed Sauron's pace.

A wanderer who appears to be of legendary rank.

With the help of His Excellency, their odds against the Eyeless are undoubtedly high.

Sauron's tracking ability has always been not weak, basically after every battle, his basic skills have been slightly improved, but because these improvements are relatively scattered, he doesn't care much about one or two basic skill improvements, so naturally there is no need to pay too much attention. (Note: One or two basic skill boosts after each battle are not specifically listed.) )

At present, his overall basic skills have all improved by twenty or thirty points compared to the past, and his improvement in survival, search, intimidation and listening in the wild is even more obvious.

Sauron tracked it quickly.

The adventurer team behind could only wake up the paladin and quickly followed.

There was a sound of argument behind him, it seemed that the holy warrior who woke up still wanted to destroy the evil, Sauron was not interested in these at all, but if the other party dared to come up without knowing whether he was alive or dead, he would definitely not show mercy to his subordinates.

The day went by.

Sauron followed the trail left behind at high speed, and the team of adventurers behind followed all the way, the paladin seemed to be very repulsive to him, but because he was put down by Sauron's move, there was still a little fear in his eyes.

If there is a real war.

They didn't think they would last more than a few minutes in Sauron's hands.

The next day.

The traces of Sauron's tracking became more and more obvious, and the eyeless ones were obviously also a large group of people, and the number was probably more than a dozen people, so the traces left behind were also more obvious.

They followed the Eyeless all the way to a place in the Northlands called Withered Leaves.

As they got closer to the town, the traces left by the Eyeless in the wilderness faded considerably, but based on Sauron's intuition, the Eyeless must have entered the town.

"This is it!"

He stopped, turned to look at the others, and said in a deep voice, "The Eyeless One should be inside, your goal is too obvious." ā€

"Spread out, two people act together."
