Vera was speechless when she heard this, "The power of the gods comes from the faith of the people, and now the people in this city are dying, and when the power of protection disappears, you will be completely finished." ”

"Shut up, you must not blaspheme the holy name of the goddess!"

While the two sides were arguing, a young priestess ran up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Pope would like to receive you, as well as the knights and priests, please come with you."

The quarrel was put aside for the time being, and the group entered the interior of the temple, in the hall of the temple, Chu Ge saw a magnificent hall, an empty hall, decorated with extremely solemn and gorgeous walls, a statue of a goddess was located in the middle of the hall, she was surrounded by a pattern of flames, one eye was closed, the other eye was angry, it looked quite a certain sacred meaning, the statue also emitted a faint red light, but this light flickered, as if it was going to be extinguished at any time.

At the foot of the statue, on a blanket, knelt an old man with gray hair, dressed in a fiery red robe, praying on the ground, with a reverent and solemn expression.

Probably infected by the atmosphere, whether it was the knights and priests in the temple, or Vera and her men, they all stood silently.

After a long time, the Pope slowly stood up from the ground.

His face was full of exhaustion and disappointment, "I didn't get a response from the goddess, only the roar and the echo of madness, this is a situation I have never encountered, anyway, it looks like we are in an unprecedented crisis." “

His gaze swept over the crowd, "Isn't there any news from Lord Ferry and Lord Mallory?" ”

"No, Your Excellency."

"We can't wait any longer, the faith of the Flame Goddess has been passed down for more than a thousand years, we can't let Alaina's name end in our hands, we must escape from here, find a new place, and re-establish a temple for the Goddess, and until then, we must save the fire, as long as one flame remains, Alena's flame is destined to burn forever."

With the Pope's speech, these temple forces finally made up their minds and quickly gathered, but it seems that the current situation of this temple is also scattered, and there are only about a dozen people in total. Chu Ge looked at the team in front of him, in addition to the three knights and four guards, there were also a few people dressed in clerical costumes, probably nuns, priests and other characters.

Listening to the meaning of Vera's conversation with these people, it seems that the belief of this goddess Alena is not a good thing, and she burns people to death and sacrifices them to the goddess at every turn, no matter how you look at it, it seems like a cult can only do it, and now it is invaded by the abyss, and it is a bit self-inflicted, but Chu Ge doesn't know much about the situation in the world of Akalam, so these things are just thinking about it in his heart.

Standing at the exit of the back door of the temple, the old Pope said lightly while commanding the knight to open the back door, "Lady Vera, I am glad that you can put aside your past suspicions at this critical juncture, let's leave this city together, no matter what kind of wrong things you have done before, from today onwards, we will no longer pursue it." ”

There was a hint of sarcasm on Navera's face, apparently not caring much about the Pope's 'magnanimity', but she didn't say anything.

"Then let's go together."

With a bang, the back door of the temple was slowly pushed open, and what greeted everyone's eyes was a sea of burning fire, burning buildings everywhere, and there was a tendency to intensify.

"Elena!" Vera shouted.

"Understood!" The sorceress Elena immediately raised her staff, and the wind mixed with frost mist blew in her face, quickly clearing a path.

The group, which had doubled in size, set off again.

Elena didn't know what kind of magic she used, she didn't need to chant a spell, she didn't need time to brew, but as soon as she raised her hand, the ice and snow mist continued to gush out, and the flames suddenly extinguished everywhere she passed, and even left traces of frost on the ground, and everyone followed the path all the way, except for some charred corpses, not a single monster was encountered.

"Quick, faster! I'm about to get out of town. The young priest shouted.

However, at this time, a trace of panic suddenly appeared in Chu Ge's heart, this kind of tremor usually only appears when encountering dangerous monsters, he hurriedly closed his eyes, and on the small map, a huge skeleton symbol clearly appeared behind the building in front of him.

"Not good, there are enemies." Before he could give a warning, Vera was already exclaiming, Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, it seems that he is not the only one who has a small map system.

"What enemy?" The bearded man asked in a deep voice.

"A very strong enemy."

The air suddenly became scorching, and even the frost mist released by Elena could not resist the scorching heat, and quickly dissolved, and the surroundings seemed to darken—no, not darkened, but something that emitted a violent light approached, so that the sea of fire burning around it seemed to be dimmed.

Chu Ge looked up, and in the midst of that sea of fire, a huge figure shrouded in flames with a height of five or six meters appeared, a flame giant.

I'm rubbing, is it the legendary King of Fire Demons? Looking at that thing, Chu Ge couldn't help but think.

However, he soon realized that it was definitely the Fire Demon Lord, because the Flame Giant was in the form of a woman.

At this time, the Pope's expression suddenly became surprisingly ugly, and he stared at the face of the flame giantess with an expression of disbelief.

"Alena? This..... That's impossible! ”

Alena? Goddess of Flame?

Chu Ge took a closer look, and sure enough, the flame giantess was quite similar to the statue of Alena in the temple, but the statue looked solemn and sacred, but the giantess in front of her was awe-inspiring, and the crimson flames that constituted her body were like blood, and her face was even more hideous, and she was not a good bird at first glance.

Looking at the minimap again, the name of the boss shows - Fire Spirit (Alaina's incarnation).

"Most of the inhabitants of this city have been infected by the power of the abyss, they have fallen into a frenzy, and their faith has naturally changed Alena's heart, and now she is our enemy."

Vera said in a deep voice.

"No, stop spreading your rude words, it's the Goddess, the Goddess herself who has come to save us." The young priest roared with a loud voice, his face full of fanaticism.

Before the others could react, he rushed forward, fell to his knees, and shouted at the flame giantess, "Goddess, your humble and devout believers pray to you, please save us, and release your wrath on those sinners who dare to blaspheme your name." ”

The giantess was stunned for a moment, then leaned down and stretched out a hand to the young priest, as if to give him some gift, but the moment she approached the priest, she snatched it and took the priest in her hand.

The flames instantly scorched the young priest's flesh and skin, and in a short, terrible scream, the young priest turned into a burning fireball.

Oh, what the hell! Chu Ge thought of schadenfreude in his heart, but in the next second, the flame giantess turned her head, and her eyes composed of scorching fire light looked towards Chu Ge.
