Chapter 24: The High Priest
It was a little dark, and people in strange clothes walked through the streets, and when they saw him, they all showed fearful expressions.
Although he had already understood it in his memory, Su Hao still felt a little strange about what he saw and heard in front of him.
It seems to be an ordinary small city, judging by the architecture and pedestrians, it should be in medieval Europe, and a majestic church can be seen not far away.
The most common means of transportation on the road is horse-drawn carriages, and there are people riding various mounts, ranging from ordinary horses to various ferocious beasts such as tigers and wolves.
But without exception, these people were very afraid of him, and it was the kind of fear that saw a murderous maniac that made his five meters around him a forbidden area.
Su Hao's eyes hidden behind the veil turned slightly, and he glanced at the girl beside him, he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.
This girl who came to find the dead ghost was Shangguan Yunyan he had seen in the Burning Plains before, but unfortunately the two had no friendship, after all, he personally killed the other party's phantom body, so that the Blood Lotus Sect's arrangement there was completely exposed.
He finally understood why Shangguan Yunyan would open his mouth to beg for mercy, it turned out that this person was actually in charge of the key to control that terrible monster.
This man is not simple...... Then who is her teacher, who can summon a first-level mage in a commanding tone, is it the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect?
"Lord Xiusi, there will be 'reincarnation' in three days, please pay attention to it so as not to cause unnecessary losses." As she was walking, Shangguan Yunyan suddenly said with a very respectful expression.
"yes, I see." Su Hao replied, although he didn't know what the other party was talking about.
The other party reminded him and stopped talking, Su Hao was also happy, and walked silently all the way. After a while, he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked, "Shangguan Yunyan, how long have you been here?" β
The other party was stunned for a moment, then leaned down slightly and replied: "Lord Hui, since I was accepted as a student by His Excellency the High Priest, I have been here for half a month. β
"Oh." Su Hao nodded and did not continue.
Judging from his past experience, the high priest was generally regarded as the supreme administrator of the cult.
At the top is an extremely rare legendary pope, whose status is equivalent to that of a head of state. The powerful pervert, even if the god projection comes, it may not be able to exterminate it, and it is impossible to do so in a small place like Shangdu.
This person's luck is also extraordinary, and he was able to ascend to the sky in one step to become the other party's student...... Tsk, this seems to be the main character template, right?
"Master Xius, the teacher is already waiting inside, so I won't accompany you in." After walking to the door of the ornate church, Shangguan Yunyan bowed down and motioned for him to go in by himself.
Su Hao hesitated slightly, he didn't expect the Blood Lotus Sect to use a natural temple as a headquarters base, when did this group of guys who study death every day be so bold?
He pretended to be calm and walked into it, and the temple, which was originally full of life and vitality, seemed very dark and dead at this time.
The flowers on the walls and floors withered, and the huge sunstone hanging from the dome was dim, making the place even darker.
An old man with gray hair was tied to a pillar, his head drooping, presumably unconscious.
He looked at the old man and understood that this should be Li Ya'er's grandfather, but he didn't expect it to fall into the hands of these cultists, no wonder he never went back.
The old man was shackled with heavy shackles on his hands and feet, his clothes were tattered like a beggar, his white hair was full of filth and filth, and his body was covered with scars, and he was obviously tortured extremely severely.
"Theseus, it seems that someone broke in just now, have you dealt with it?" A majestic and hoarse voice sounded, with a strong momentum of the superior, making him suddenly look back at the Gundam figure shrouded in shadows not far away.
"It's been dealt with." Su Hao's voice became extremely hoarse and cold, and he was still very good at voice changing skills.
"That's not right! You're not Theseus, who the hell are you! β
Who knew that the other party suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at him and said loudly, the black aura all over his body gushed out like a tide, and a powerful coercion suddenly descended on him as if it was materialized, making it like a fish lacking water, and it became extremely difficult to breathe.
Damn, this Nima's exposure is too fast, and it was actually seen through at first sight, what went wrong?
Su Hao lowered his mind and continued to operate, but he didn't find any obvious flaws.
"High Priest, how can you doubt me?" He asked, looking up.
"Don't pretend, you don't have a protective force field at all, and you're obviously just an apprentice rookie. Say, where did Hughes go? The high priest looked at him in a determined tone, and his whole face was as black as an abyss, which was daunting.
Su Hao sighed, although this magic robe could simulate the aura of Xiusi, he was an apprentice after all, and he didn't have the hallmark of a first-level magician like a protective force field at allβhe really shouldn't have had illusions before!
"Oh, since I'm standing here, he'll hang up." He regained his voice and smiled, without the slightest hint of fear.
If you're dead, you're dead.,Anyway, all the valuable gains have been put into the personal space backpack.,Even if you hang up, it's just a loss of this magic robe.,It's a bit of a loss.,I knew that he would definitely not come over!
The High Priest looked him up and down suspiciously: "You are an apprentice, and you are an apprentice who doesn't even have a spell core, how can you kill a powerful first-level mage?" β
"Anything is possible. Say, what do I need to do to avoid a death? Su Hao asked calmly.
"Arrogant rookie, don't think I won't kill you!" The high priest stepped forward, his voice full of murderous intent, and his body became more and more aggressive.
"Oh, why don't you do it?" Su Hao grinned and stretched out his hand to the other party very unceremoniously, "Or, Your Excellency High Priest, you have a physical problem, such as a relative is here?" β
As a big villain, he has been oppressing him with momentum, which made him instantly discover some strangeness.
The other party is a necromancer, dealing with corpses and souls every day, it stands to reason that his personality has long become distorted, and killing people without saying a word is as natural for them as saying good morning to others!
"Bastard, you're looking for death!"
The High Priest was furious, waving his hand to condense a black ball of light, as if condensing the will of countless undead, and one after another could be seen in it with twisted grimaces wailing and screaming, which was daunting.
But Su Hao didn't take a step back, his fingertips lit up with a spell aura, and a rope quickly flew over to try to tie up the other party.
Strangely, the High Priest only stepped back and waved his arms to try to dodge, instead of throwing the black light in his hand over to kill this daring zero-level rookie.
The scene that made his jaw drop happened, and the high priest of the cult was trapped into a dumpling without any resistance, and the black magic robe suddenly drooped to the ground as if it were deflated.
Su Hao walked over and carefully picked up the hood with his foot, the face he revealed made his eyes widen in surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah, I didn't expect His Excellency the famous High Priest to be like this, it's incredible!" β
