Anduin suddenly looked at the church, and he still missed a calculation, with the influence of Benedictas, he had already reached the point where it was easy to deceive the pious people, and there was no need for a large-scale propaganda organization, just a hint of words, and countless fanatical believers would be summoned for him.

The movement in front of the gate immediately attracted the papal knights and manor guards, Anduin ordered someone to place Masif, and then immediately rushed to the church with most of the available people, although the situation may not be as bad as imagined, but he is not afraid of 10,000 in case, he is not willing to have a large number of deaths and injuries among the residents of the territory not long after he took office, this is not only about whether the tavern inn can start smoothly, but also because this is a responsibility that a lord must fulfill!

Seeing Anduin lead a large number of people to move, Van Cleef also realized the importance of this matter, he did not sit idly by, but asked Anduin to fight, these elite architects are not powerless people, especially President Van Cleef, who definitely has the strength close to the fourth-order powerhouse.

Anduin did not hesitate to respond immediately, but without the time to show that he was moved, he rushed to the church with everyone without stopping.

At this moment, the sunset officially set in the sky, and the half of the sky where the church was located, the twilight was dim, like a dark beast that had woken up, so that Anduin couldn't help but urge him to speed up his pace.

The townspeople who had not rushed to the church, seeing the mighty battle, were completely unaware of what was happening, and they all hid in their homes, and some of them who knew a little about the townspeople's petition began to worry about the people in the church, and Anduin's expression was terriblely cold, and the result of the revelation of the matter can be imagined.

After a short time, Anduin arrived at the church with the people, and despite the persuasion of the high knight Ed, he pushed open the closed door alone, and then stopped his steps, and Ed and Van Cleef, who followed him, showed a look of astonishment, because in the church, only Archbishop Benedictas, the petitioning townspeople, and the priest and knight in the church were all gone.

"Welcome."

At this moment, Benedictas's expression was still amiable, and he stood under the statue of the Holy Light, his eyes calmly looking at Anduin.

"What about people?"

Anduin didn't bother to greet him, and ordered Ed to conduct a search while letting the system search for clues.

[Strangely, the church hall is surprisingly clean, as if it has been specially cleaned.] 】

"I don't care about this, I want to know where people have gone?"

[You and I are really omnipotent, huh? My current scan covers at most this hall. 】

At this moment, Ed came back to his life, and his words were full of solemnity: "I looked around, but I didn't see anyone." ”

Anduin immediately looked at Benedictas, who was smiling and silent, and stepped forward and asked, "What about you?" ”

The archbishop's response, however, was not the answer: "Honestly, Anduin, I didn't expect you to come back alive. ”

"Huh?"

Anduin felt that there was something in his words, and at the same time realized that this guy was deliberately delaying time, so he silently asked the system, "Didn't you say last time that only ninety percent of the area was scanned?" ”

[Yes, if the Holy Light energy exceeds a certain limit, it will block the scan, and this Holy Light Statue in front of you is the largest place, if you want to complete the scan, you need a lot of energy crystals. 】

Anduin knew very well how important time was, he immediately ordered to go as fast as he could, crystals were not a problem at all, and the system was not polite, directly let the hundreds of crystals in the badge space turn into slag, and turn on the full scan mode.

"I have to say that it was a good idea for Bolvar and Ferding to send you to the New World, but unfortunately, people are not as good as heaven, Bolval is dead, and you were going to die originally." The archbishop's voice regained Anduin's attention, his smile still warm, but his words revealed a hint of chill.

"Originally, according to the established plan, you should have died in the New World or the Endless Sea, in the same way, people are not as good as heaven, you still returned to Stormwind Town, to tell you the truth, I saw you suddenly break into the church that day, and almost lost your temper in public, but fortunately, everyone's attention was on Bolval and you."

Hearing this, Anduin was shocked, he never thought that "his death" was not caused by accident, but someone deliberately murdered, since he died on the cargo ship returning to the port, it must mean that among the people who went to the New World, there were twilight believers lurking.

Anduin calmed down a little and asked, "Why are you in a hurry to attack the townspeople when the initiative is in your hands?" ”

"There are many reasons!"

Benedictas said lightly, his old face showing an inexplicable look that could not be described in words: "The most direct reason is that I received news that some members of the Explorer's Guild are rushing to Stormwind Town, Anduin, you are very smart, as smart as Bolval, you know that the fortress church will not help, so you ask the Explorer's Guild for help, but unfortunately, there are not only pure explorers in the Explorer's Guild." ”

Everyone, including Anduin, realized that there was a big hand that had quietly penetrated every corner of the Holy Empire, and many people felt chills, and the archbishop then said the next reason: "The most important reason is that I found out about the change in Mazef, he is my fanatical believer, but now, he has chosen to leave me, which makes me realize that if I wait any longer, the situation may be reversed." ”

"And then you want to bring all the believers to your funeral?"

Anduin questioned in a deep voice, secretly urging the system to give more force.

【Right now!】 】

Benedictas chuckled softly, "Life is always worth mentioning for Twilight to last, don't worry, Anduin, I'm not ready to kill those townsfolk yet, their fate is in your hands, because it's the most fundamental reason." ”

"What is it?"

"After your return, I received a tip-off that you had shown great talent on the Parrot and had become a student of Lazarez, the right hand of the Holy Light, which made me interested in you, and I didn't want to end your life with killing, but wanted you to be my companion."

Benedictas looked beyond the crowd and out of the gate, and he opened his arms as if hugging Twilight: "Anduin, you preached that all are created equal, and last night you said what you thought was the right answer, which made me realize that there is no easy way to absorb you as a Twilight cultist!" ”

The archbishop's gaze suddenly fixed on Anduin's face, and a sure smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Then next, I will use the lives of those townspeople to prove to you that we are not equal, and you are not a qualified lord!"

"If you still want to save your townspeople, be a ridiculous lord, then don't waste time trying to ask me, I will use a game to decide the fate of those townspeople, every time you win, you can save one person, if you lose, you will die ten people, the townspeople who come to the church are more than one hundred and thirty people in total, how many to live and how many to die, it's completely up to you!"

"You're a total lunatic!"

Hearing Benedictas's crazy decision, Anduin scolded and urged in his heart.

[It's just a little bit!] 】

Facing Daodao's surprised eyes, the archbishop didn't care: "Didn't you want to save those townspeople?" I will prove to you how vulnerable you are to fate, and I will destroy your faith with my blood, so that you will understand that when disaster strikes, the Light on high will always retreat. ”

Benedictas's tone was always calm, but his plot made everyone tremble, and the kind old man in the holy white robe showed a dark face of madness.

The archbishop looked at Anduin, he wanted to destroy Anduin's faith, as long as it was a little while, even if Lazarez, the right hand of the Light, was in person, he would not be able to save the townspeople, he only needed to use a game in which he was the only winner, regardless of the outcome, to stall for time, and he was sure of it.

However, at this moment, Anduin pointed sharply at the statue of holy light and roared, "Ed, destroy it!" ”

The great knight Ed didn't care about asking the reason, he directly drew his sword and rushed out, facing the statue of holy light that could only be worshiped on weekdays, and did not hesitate to swing his sword and cut it down.

Benedictas's expression did not change, even the statue collapsed beside him, he never looked back, his attention was always on Anduin's body, even if the secret entrance under the statue was exposed to everyone's eyes, he was not angry, but looked at Anduin with more appreciative eyes and said: "You are very good, really good, you can't find the pedantic conservatism of other priests in your body, if you change them, even if you break your head, you can't imagine that under the holy light, there is darkness."

"The day I asked you if the Light is omnipotent and omnipresent, and you looked at the shadow under your feet, and I will tell you now that you must not forget that behind the Light there is also darkness."

Benedictas stepped forward slowly, and then the entire church began to shake uncontrollably, and the Grand Knight Ed had to stay away from the secret entrance, because it was spewing an incomparably fierce dark aura.

"You've seen through the secret, and as a reward, I'll give up the meaningless game of life and death, and just push this farce to the end, it's time to come out and meet our new friend, Seriona, I think you'll like him."

As the words fell, the secret entrance behind the archbishop was suddenly destroyed, and the sand and stones filled the sky, stirring up clouds of dust.

Benedictas had a smile on his face, and even at this point, his posture could still be called holy, but in the rolling dust, an evil dragon covered in dark purple scales and as enchanting as the light of twilight rose to the sky, and then slowly fell behind Benedictas like a king, like an abyss, with deep dragon eyes, looking down on everyone.

Looking at this scene, everyone was shocked and remembered what Benedictas had just said.

Behind the Light, there is indeed ...... Dark.
