Chapter 161: The Lost City
A group of clerics arrived at the gates of Trail City, shrouded in darkness.
The drawbridge of Wake Castle was lowered, and the huge gate was slightly open with a gap large enough for one person to pass.
The wind was howling in their ears, and the night inside the city was getting darker and darker, as if something unknown was lurking in the darkness waiting for them......
"Knight Commander Luoan, I don't think this city looks like it's being attacked by that monster, why don't we go back......"
At this time, even the worst of the clergy sensed the strangeness of the atmosphere around them, and a seemingly clever Templar ran up to the Paladin Chief and suggested.
"You'd better let every word go through your brain before it comes out, James Templar." Roan stared at the young Templar with piercing eyes, and suddenly James was startled back into the middle of the group.
This old paladin chief is the most powerful person in the Temple of the Crucifixion other than the archbishop, and he is also the closest to the legendary second only to the archbishop, and after the legendary archbishop was killed by a monster three months ago, Roan is the highest ranking priest of the Crucifixion God in the Bitter Cold Land.
James is a smart man, he doesn't know what danger he will encounter when he enters Wake City, but he knows that if he doesn't know each other at this time, he will be 100% unlucky when he returns to the temple......
Passing through the gates, they entered the city......
The streets were silent, the houses lined with closed windows and doors, and the eerie night breeze drifted through the streets and alleys of the city, making a rustling sound from time to time when the wooden baskets placed in the corners of the walls were blown.
There are no mountains of corpses, no rivers of blood......
But the same. It has also lost all the breath of living creatures, as if it were a dead city......
"Go ahead carefully. All people give themselves blessings to detect evil. ”
Luo An commanded softly, and he pulled out a one-handed sword from his waist that was filled with the power of powerful holy light. I took the lead first......
The other clerics obeyed their leader's orders and quickly prayed, blessing themselves with the detection of evil.
This is a spell-like ability that is the same as Acoste's Weakness Insight, except that after blessing this state, the half-elves can see through the weaknesses of others, while the clerics can see through each other's camps......
If there is a person from the chaotic evil camp in front of them now, then this group of priests will definitely be able to see the black aura from him, the neutral evil is the blood-red aura, and the orderly evil is the pale red aura.
This spell-like ability also reacts to the undead. It can be described as the only magic for the priesthood to walk outside and travel at home and to uphold justice.
However, when the clergy applied the detection of evil, there was no light in the city that represented a danger signal......
Wake City is still the same as before, there are no mountains of corpses, and there are no rivers of blood......
Is it true that this place has not been attacked?
So who sent the message through the temple? Where did the inhabitants and soldiers of the city go?
The group of priests walked for more than ten minutes, but they still did not encounter a single living thing, as if they had come to a dead city that had been abandoned for many years.
An unsettling aura enveloped the ranks, and the eerie atmosphere allowed fear to grow in the hearts of the clergy, even if they were a group of devout believers. is about to be unable to withstand the invasion of this "cold terror......
"Let's take a look at the room!"
Luo An still couldn't hold back the uneasy atmosphere in the team after all, the experienced paladin captain had already seen the impatience and fear in the eyes of his subordinates, if he didn't let this team find something to do, then these people might collapse on their own before they could get to the center of the city......
A young paladin could not stand this strange atmosphere for a long time. After receiving Roan's order, the paladin walked to a private house and kicked the wooden door open.
This move made Luo An frown......
Modest. Not being arrogant or impatient is one of the most basic etiquette of a holy warrior, and if you want to change to the past, the holy warrior should come forward and knock on the door. Such a barbaric move will never be made.
The Paladin wanted to step forward and reprimand the reckless subordinate, but he had just stepped forward. The curse was held in his throat, and he couldn't say it no matter what......
Because at this moment, a deep black light rose up with the opening of the door!
"Roar! Roar! Roar! ”
Immediately after that, the cries of beasts rang out one after another in Wake City! And these voices are getting closer and closer to them, and you can imagine that something is quickly converging towards them!
"Retreat! Return to the city gate! ”
Luo An instinctively sensed an extreme danger, which was the battle instinct that the paladin chief had cultivated in countless life-and-death battles, and he quickly shouted, and he should run in the direction he came from.
"Roar!"
The other clerics were not slow to react, but just as the last paladin tried to catch up with his teammates, two dark shadows suddenly burst out of the house with a wooden doorway and threw him to the ground......
"Help me, don't go, come back and save me!"
The frizzy paladin struggled desperately, but the surging holy light around him did not shake the two dark shadows, and at the same time, the strength of his profession could not let him break free, and he could only pin his hope of survival on his colleagues in the crisis......
But no one chose to turn back, and those brothers who had lived and trained together fled from themselves without looking back, as if they had become a hideous monster, and they decisively chose to abandon themselves in this crisis.
"Why? That's it! ”
The young paladin's faith collapsed at this moment, and the holy light on his body also turned into a little light and dissipated into the air at this moment.
Two black shadows bit the paladin's neck with their sharp fangs, and a stream of black energy passed through the wound into the paladin's corpse.
After a few seconds......
A violent wave of negative energy refocused on the paladin's corpse, and the young paladin reopened his pupils and rose from the ground with a thud......
His skin was no longer shiny, his bright armor was mottled, and his eyes were blood-red......
On top of that, there was a suffocating negative energy in his body, and the quality of this energy was much higher than the Holy Light energy stored in his body when he was a paladin!
Paladin, no, it should be the dark warrior who squinted at the escape route of his "teammates", and the corners of his mouth drew a strange arc......
"You're all going to die!" (To be continued.) )
