Act 184: The Battle of the White Lion VII
Many believers had gathered in the square of Fusa, and because the sky suddenly darkened, the scene was shrouded in a layer of uneasy color, and the square was lit with butter torches, and the light of the fire was intertwined, reflecting the whole square in a bright light. The crowd gathered in all directions, whispering to each other, and most people thought that there was another solar eclipse, but frequent solar eclipses still did not bode well, so many people had worried looks on their faces.
The doors of the temple were closed, the huge arches were dyed in a dark hue, like an overly rigid religious oil painting, and there were several junior friars in gray robes on the steps, but no presiding officer had yet come out to announce what had happened and why the bell had been runged.
Roman led Haruzer through the crowd, the Temple of Fossa is a famous historical site in Port Fatan, she had visited it with Chiara and the elves before, and happened to know that the temple had a hidden back door. The two quickly rounded the crowd and sneaked into the temple through the back door.
Of course, the back door was locked, but it was not difficult for a witch, Roman made a metal melt and opened the door lock, but accidentally burned, which scared the two of them, and finally hurriedly extinguished the fire, only to find that the door had burned more than half, in order to destroy the evidence of Miè's crime, she had to let Haruzer tear down the door and hide it, which wasted half a day.
Behind the back door leads to a long corridor, but at the moment it is empty, this discovery made Roman breathe a sigh of relief, she took the little prince tiptoed through the corridor, just turned a corner, she felt a light in front of her, in the dark temple in front of her there was a hall with lights on, this discovery made her excited, but then found that there were monks guarding the outside of the hall, so a pair of small eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.
Seeing this scene, Haruzer subconsciously felt a little nervous, and his first reaction was to retreat. But soon Brando's usual teaching finally had some effect, and he finally calmed himself down, and gestured to Roman with his hand: "Miss Roman, do you want me to lure them away?" ”
The little prince compared his own strength with that of the other party, although his swordsmanship was not yet in the stream, but magic had already begun to glimpse the way. The two monks guarding the door were no more than black iron level, and they were still somewhat sure of themselves, so they cautiously proposed this proposal.
"No," Roman waved his hand very generously, "You're a student of Brando, I can't let you take risks, look at me!" ”
She pondered for a moment, and chose a dream spell from the witchcraft she mastered, which was very similar to the sleep dust of law magic or hypnotism of elemental magic, but the witches' spells had their own strengths. It is mysterious and imperceptible, and their magic affects the present world through the realm of dreams, and unconsciously makes people fall into the illusion.
Roman gestured thoughtfully to the monks guarding the entrance of the hall, and the two monks froze at the same time, and then lowered their heads and fell into a peaceful sleep.
Seeing that her spell had succeeded, she clenched her fist with some excitement - no problem! According to Bai Mist, as the inheritor, Miss Merchant's attainments in witchcraft are very high, but she is always absent-minded and distracted when learning witchcraft. Spells are often unexpected, such as mispronouncing spells and misremembering trigger bytes. There was even a time when the spell of one spell was remembered as another spell, which was considered unprecedented.
The Dream Spell is a five-ring spell, and a similar spell Roman can only cast three times a day, and after casting it once, Miss Merchant's face immediately turned half white, but she didn't care. Instead, he immediately turned around and beckoned to Cruz with a little excitement, signaling the little attendant to hurry up and follow.
The two of them came to the door of the hall, and the monks on both sides were asleep under witchcraft, unaware of the arrival of the uninvited guest, and Roman seemed confident in his spells. He didn't even look at the two monks and soldiers, but Haruzer was more careful, and carefully observed for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief and looked away.
The two of them looked into the hall, which was the main hall of the Temple of Fusa, and in the hall was the icon of Geert, the Lord of Fire, with an altar under the icon and a prayer table surrounded by layers. At this moment, the hall was indeed brightly lit, and a fiery red portal appeared on the altar, Roman vaguely felt that this portal was somewhat similar to the flame gate she had seen in Ampesel, only much smaller, and the presiding priest of the Temple of Fossa - Father Jörfo was standing beside the portal, and next to him stood a priest of higher status, who was lecturing him.
In addition, there were many junior monks standing around, and Roman even saw Alemov among them, and the sight of an old acquaintance who had only met not long ago made Miss Merchant's little excited, and she wanted to wave to say hello, but fortunately Haruzer grabbed her sleeve and did not tell her to go out.
"Sister Roman, I, I think it's better for us not to show up rashly until we understand the situation," the little prince whispered while wiping the cold sweat on his head, and hurriedly promoted his title: "Besides, we sneaked in secretly, secretly!" ”
"That's just as well." Roman slapped his head and reacted.
At this time, the voice of the lecture in the hall came out word for word.
"Father Jolfo, Lady Sidney has betrayed the Temple, and according to the information we have received, it is likely that she will soon arrive in Port Fatan, in causance with the Emperor's eldest son."
"What!" Father Jolfo was taken aback, who was the statue of the Holy Maiden of the Lion Palace, he naturally knew that it was the first person under the Holy Throne, and the other party would betray the Temple? His first reaction was not to believe it, and his second reaction was to realize that the previous rumors about the division of the temple were indeed true, but the reaction was one thing, but he still didn't know exactly what happened, although the empire was in the midst of a civil war, but in fact, locally, the struggle within the temple had not yet surfaced, after all, the silver queen's purge of the temple was still limited to the upper echelons of the temple for the time being, and she had not even issued any edicts to other dioceses.
And these things are too far away for Jolfo, not to mention Sidney, even the one in front of him, he has only heard of his name even before today: "My lord, ...... this?" ”
"You don't have to worry, this is the meaning of Her Majesty the Queen, and it is also the meaning of the Holy See."
Jolfo breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what should we do." My lord? ”
"The White Legion will soon launch an attack on the port of Fatan, and the plotters will surely bring about their own destruction, but Sidney is likely to secretly use means to involve the Templars in this war, and even to the opposite of Her Majesty the Queen and the Holy See, your task is to keep the faithful and the lower friars from being deceived by that woman."
"I see. My lord, the believers have been summoned by me according to your command, shall I go and inform them of this now? ”
"Of course." The man nodded with satisfaction, Ovexin's army of undead should already be on the way at this moment, since these awakened undead are relatively low-level undead, when they launch a sneak attack on Fatan Harbor, the most feared should be the priests and ascetics of the Fire Temple in the city, but as long as the power of the Fire Temple in the city is not organized at the first time, then they can play the greatest role in this battle.
With these undead, which was unexpected by all. Coupled with the mountain people and the White Legion itself, the balance of this war has firmly tilted in favor of Her Majesty the Queen.
Father Jolfo had no doubt about him, and turned around and prepared to order the junior monks around him to open the door - although he was the highest-ranking priest in Port Fatan, he was still in the lower echelons of the vast Flame Temple, and he had no idea what was going on behind these struggles, and as a member of the hierarchical Templar organization, his first priority was of course to obey the oracle from the temple headquarters.
He was already familiar with the big man in front of him, not to mention that the other party arrived from the flame gate on the altar. And the latter was originally one of the top secrets of the Flame Temple, what does the person who can open the flame door represent. It was self-evident to him as a member of the temple.
But seeing the junior monk leaving from Jörfo and walking towards the main entrance of the temple, Roman didn't realize what was wrong here, but Haruzer on the side said to her in a hurry: "Miss Roman, don't let them open the main door, if they are allowed to master the believers and junior priests in the port of Fatan, they will be in a disadvantageous position!" ”
"Is that so?" Roman's small eyebrows suddenly raised: "These guys dare to make Brando stumble, it's really hateful!" ”
With that, she pointed her hand at the door of the temple, and the junior monk who had walked towards the gate was instructing the monks to remove the deadbolts from the gate and prepare to push open the two heavy wooden doors. But before they could stretch out their hands, a huge human face suddenly appeared on the door. The man's face opened his eyes, glanced at everyone in the hall, and suddenly said, "Hey, guys, you're lucky enough to find this door to the treasure - do you want to get the treasure through me?" No problem, as long as you can solve my puzzle! ”
A loud voice echoed throughout the hall, and everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned, even Roman and the little prince Haruzer, who watched in amazement as Miss Merchant's spell was cast, while Roman opened his mouth in an 'O' shape: "Oops, isn't this spell a door-sealing technique!" ”
"I said, what's wrong with you, aren't you interested in the legendary treasure?" The faces on the gate were still chattering, but by this time Father Jolfo and the big man beside him had already reacted.
"Object activation, catch that witch!" The big man next to Jolfo looked at him like lightning, and at a glance he saw Roman and Haruzer hiding behind the side door, and roared angrily: "Can't let her escape!" ”
Everyone turned their eyes in this direction, and Alemov, who was in the crowd, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Roman and Haruzer.
Jolfo naturally couldn't remember this little girl who had been to the temple once a few days ago, he reacted immediately, and with a finger of his hand, a sacred cage shrouded Roman and Haruzer, but before this spell could get close to the two of them, a transparent spell shield suddenly opened on Haruze's body, and in an instant, Jolfo's holy magic was invisible.
Seeing this scene, Jörfo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but the big man next to him reacted: "Immunity spell control? This is the Crescent Ring, the Eruin royal family? Catch that little boy, you have to live! ”
At this time, the junior monks and monks in the hall had already rushed up, and in the face of this scene, Haruzer's face turned white with fright, and he couldn't help but tremble: "Miss Roman, I, what should we do?" ”
"Run, of course!" Roman was confused, but not stupid, and grabbed Haruzer by the collar and ran backwards.
The two of them rushed through the dark corridor in a panic, seeing that they were about to reach the corner before, Roman of course knew that behind it was the back door of the temple, as long as they reached the back, and then went around to the square, where there was a sea of people, the other party would definitely take them. However, this is not such a simple matter, among the guards of the temple, there are even silver-level cunzài, and although her own strength is not inferior to silver, she is only a witch after all, and she is far better than a silver-level warrior in terms of physical quality.
The monks and monks behind him chased closer and closer, and Roman felt his heart jump out of his throat, both nervous and excited.
In front of him was the corner before, Roman pulled Haruzer by the collar and turned the corner one step at a time, his eyes were dark, and before he could react, he felt that he had hit his head on something.
She snorted, felt her head buried in something soft, and hurriedly took a step back with wide eyes, only to feel a tightening of her wrist, and she had been caught. "Scared!" This startled Roman a lot, and he hurriedly raised his head, only to find that a beautiful female priest who had grabbed him was extremely tall, with short white and blonde hair, frowning eyebrows, and a pair of golden eyes staring at her, and his face was full of majesty and heroism.
Although Roman did not recognize the rank of the robes of the Flame Temple, he also realized that the lady in front of him was not of low status, because she had seen the priest who presided over the Temple of Fussa before, and the other party's robes were far less gorgeous than the one in front of him - except for being a little cleaner and tidy, even the big man of the Flame Temple was probably not as good as the one in front of him.
But she was a little nervous by the other party's staring, and subconsciously twitched her hand, and the hand that grabbed her wrist seemed to be made of steel, and it didn't move at all. "You've hurt me...... Roman whispered with a little weakness, "Roman is not a thief, can you let us go first." ”
But it was at this time that another slightly hollow voice rang out: "Miss Roman, why are you here?" ”
Roman and Haruzer were both stunned when they heard this voice, and looked up in surprise, only to find that there was another person behind the goddess, and it was a female knight shrouded in pale flames—"Lady Brunhilde! The little prince cried out in surprise: "Why are you here?" ”
