173 Bishops and Grave Keepers
173 Bishops and Grave Keepers
Yi Tiancheng was the first to enter the Egyptian Pavilion, a long and spectacular exhibition hall that runs almost the entire west wing of the museum, and contains a large number of sculptures and artifacts spanning 3,000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization.
Among them, in addition to the "Rosetta Stone", which is the treasure of the British Museum, there are many spectacular busts, huge scarab statues, carefully carved sarcophagi, and so on.
"This is the bust of Ramses II! I don't know if I can summon Raji out in the Holy Grail War if I use this thing as a medium, but I really want to see the scene where Raji and Jin Shinery appear at the same time and then laugh at each other face to face, it must be very magical in comparison! ”
Yi Tiancheng put the bust of Ra Er into the treasure house, remembered the character of La Er in the game "F", and couldn't help but make up the picture after the meeting between La Er and Jin Shining, these two members of the haha brigade.
"Hahahaha~! That must be fun! ”
Because the picture was so strong, he couldn't help but laugh at first.
After sweeping the Egyptian pavilion, Yi Tiancheng prepared to move on to the next pavilion.
However, he didn't take two steps before he sensed three condensed sources of magic power, heading towards the main entrance of the museum.
"Sure enough, there is still a hidden killer feature!"
Yi Tiancheng smiled and flew into the air, shattered the two pieces of glass on the edge of the roof, and took the initiative to go out to greet the visitors.
On the stone steps outside the main gate, the corpses that had been wiped out by Yi Tiancheng had all been removed, but the pool of blood remaining on the ground was still extremely shocking.
There were three people coming, and Yi Tiancheng was suspended in mid-air, overlooking the past from left to right.
On the far left is an old man with crane hair and a childish face, who can even be described as thin, dressed in a red sacrificial dress made of linen and cotton, holding a primitive code of laws that glows white and a necklace of an inverted cross around his neck.
Yi Tiancheng was a little curious, whether this old man was a member of the church or a member of the Holy Announcer Church.
Although nominally a branch of the Church, the Congregation of St. Ann is fundamentally different from the Church on a non-religious level, as it is the state religion of Britain, and Her Majesty is its defender.
Derived from the priestly robes of the seminaries, the sacrificial garments are divided into five colors: red, white, green, purple, and black, and have different meanings on different occasions.
The old man appeared here at this time, and the meaning of this red sacrificial robe is probably only one, that side is ready to martyr the Lord at any time.
Coupled with his pure magical power, as well as his body that looked malnourished, but his spirit was unusually condensed and vigorous, Yi Tiancheng could basically conclude that this was a rare ascetic.
Next to the old man were two adult men of about thirty years of age, who had the same long brown-red shawl hair, both of them were rough men with unshaven beards, their faces were smeared with blue dye, and they wore a set of shabby leather armor, but each of them held a simple round shield and a delicate long sword.
Yi Tiancheng could see at a glance that their shield sword was a holy relic, so he also had a strong curiosity about the identities of these two men.
The two are not trialists, but they are real warriors; There is a serious sense of disconnect between the clothes and the current era, and it is completely possible to play the Scottish soldiers in "Braveheart" in their true colors; And the fierce atmosphere that is revealed from the inside out is also incompatible with modern society.
Add to that the other party's hair color, skin color, and momentum......
Yi Tiancheng's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled at the same time, he had already vaguely guessed the origin of these two people.
As we all know, there are actually two types of purebred Britons
One is the Germanic people, who belong to the Central Glo-Saxon tribe, and their hair color is biased towards pale gold and silver, and the royal family and the British class in Britain today basically belong to this list.
The other is the Celts, who have brown and red hair, and are also the true native people of the British Isles.
The Angru-Saxons were originally foreign invaders, but because they conquered the latter, they took over the land.
The feud between the two races has a long history, even dating back to the Roman era more than 1,500 years ago.
At that time, the Kingdom of Ancient Britain was repeatedly invaded and plundered by the Central Georgian Saxons, and it was not until the most legendary King Arthur appeared that he led the people to defeat the Central Georgian Saxons.
It's a pity that King Arthur finally died in the Battle of the Sword Fence because of the rebellion, and the legend ended.
But in fact, King Arthur was not dead, but he was also mortally wounded, and his most loyal knight of the guard, Bedwell, took him to what is now Somerset, England, in a country town called Glastonbury.
This is the territory of the Lake Nymphs and the closest place to Avalon in the present world, and Bedwell hopes that the Lake Nymphs can heal the King, or at least allow the King to live forever in Avalon.
Unfortunately, both of his wishes were not fulfilled, and King Arthur eventually died in Glastonbury's abbey.
After King Arthur's death, Queen Guinevera was condemned by public opinion and conscience because of her affair with Lancelot, and finally chose to become a nun and came to the convent to live in seclusion, until she was buried with King Arthur under the Frauenkirche of the monastery after her death.
In addition, there is a distant descendant of King Arthur, who chose to remain incognito here and take on the responsibility of the grave keeper, which has been passed down to modern times.
Yi Tiancheng could almost conclude that these two fierce men who looked as if they had come out of the isolated Taoyuan Village were the tomb keepers.
And the reason why he knows this history is also because in the near future, there will be a young girl named Alice in this clan, who will receive the sword of the king from the fairy of the lake more than 1,500 years ago, which was thrown into the lake by Bedwell, and then become the new knight king and holy sword envoy of the Kingdom of Britain.
Just when Yi Tiancheng was full of thoughts and came to his senses, the ascetic on the ground suddenly opened his mouth and recited, "Disciple of the Lord, St. Peter said that walking in the sky with the power of demons is a blasphemy against God, and the demons who carry the spellcaster, leave him quickly. ”
Between the words, a pure magic overflowed from the old man's body, enveloping the space in front of the main entrance.
As if he was following his words, Yi Tiancheng fell directly from mid-air, and the moment his feet landed, the entire ground was trampled and shattered like a spider's web.
"What is this? St. Peter's Fall Magic? ”
Yi Tiancheng came back to his senses, looked at the old man's deep eyes that were not cloudy, and answered himself with an interesting question.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these religious guys really deserve to be hanging on the wall.
Whether it is the church in the West or the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the East, the famous sayings and aphorisms that have been spoken by the bigwigs of various religions, the commandments and regulations they have made, the scriptures and rules they have dictated, and even the great deeds and miracles they have done, etc.
In the past, these were just simple verbal words and legends, but now that the aura is revived, especially after entering the new era, it is directly sublimated into real words and spells.
As long as the people who belong to the system, under the premise that their beliefs are pious enough, their Taoism is deep enough, or their magic power is strong enough, they can directly exert all kinds of incredible powers.
For example, what the old man said just now, Peter, who was originally one of the Lord's first twelve disciples, and Magus, a magician of the Roman court, were fighting in front of Emperor Nero, and when Mags was using flying magic to force a show, he suddenly said this sentence with the power of words, successfully interfering with the other party's flying magic, causing him to fall to the ground and die on the spot.
And the St. Peter's Falling Divine Technique born on this basis is also unguardable, because as long as it is a heresy and heresy within the scope that the Church doctrine can explain, this magic can directly seal the opponent's flying ability, and then let the opponent suffer greater additional damage than normal free fall while falling.
If Yi Tiancheng wasn't strong enough in his spirit, I'm afraid that just that moment just now would be able to smash him to pieces.
The old man ignored him, but the two grave keepers, after seeing him land, immediately clenched the shield in their hands and charged directly at him......
