Chapter 62: The Stupid Cat Goes Crazy
"What is the use of this artifact, is it necessary to protect it so nervously?" One of the paladin attendants couldn't help but say, "Damn, the most disgusting thing is that we've been walking around the Sanctuary all day, and we don't even know where those pieces are kept. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
His companion did not respond to this. As low-ranking paladin squires in the Templars, they certainly had no right to know where the precious artifact fragments were hidden, and there was nothing to complain about.
But just when he finally couldn't stand his companion's chatter and wanted to turn his head to warn him, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a shadow passing by the door of the sanctuary and then vanished.
The young paladin squire didn't pay much attention to this. It's just a small shadow flashing from the corner of your eye, which often happens when you don't get enough sleep, and even the flutter of your eyelashes can cause this illusion, so there's no need to make a fuss.
But what he didn't know was that in just a few minutes, this kind of "vision" appeared in the corners of several companions' eyes one after another. All everyone saw was a small phantom, and when they looked closely, there was nothing.
With such agility, Betty did not climb over the wall or lurk in the shadows to wait for an opportunity, but drove straight through the gate, and it didn't take long for her to pass through the heavily guarded area behind the Sanctuary.
Soon, thanks to Piger's heart-to-heart communication with it, and the "Candle of Light" has a strong perception of the power of the Holy Light that overflows from the Shining Sword, after several forks in the road, Betty came to the place where the Shining Sword was stored.
One of the Templar's most powerful weapons, the Shining Sword is stored in the canonical storage chamber, which is only accessible to the Bishop and High Paladins, and is kept in a small compartment. The fully enclosed compartment has a very clever anti-theft device, and the door is blessed with various magic spells, which can withstand the attacks of most of the dark night species.
Moreover, if a creature approaches the door of the chamber, it will inevitably come into contact with devices that are enough to destroy a skeleton team if it is not opened properly, which is not without danger.
So in this way, Pije has Betty single-handedly stealing the Sword of Glory with some kind of "borrowing a knife to kill" bad taste. Legend has it that the cat created by the creator has nine lives, and it can be resurrected with full blood after death, and this time you can just see if it's true or not.
Entering the canon storage room wasn't too difficult. The guards outside the storage room have been relocated to another location, probably because they think there is a large lock here, and the compartment containing important items is protected by mechanisms and magic spells, so there is no need to guard it at all.
Betty jumped onto the roof in three or two steps, then jumped to the side by the reaction force of the wall, and landed on the ventilation duct.
The narrow duct seems to hold only half of the stupid cat's body, but the size of a cat cannot be used as a criterion to judge how narrow an area a cat can pass through. After the stupid cat stuck its head inside, its whole body suddenly stretched horizontally, and in a short time it burrowed into the storage room.
The canonical storeroom, as the name suggests, is a place where important texts of the Templar are stored. Most of these so-called "holy texts" are left behind by the ancient gods of the Light Race, who are regarded as virtuous and virtuous, and many of them are even manuscripts and unique copies.
The dilapidated and even lost pages of these books were considered treasures by the Templar, but Betty did not hesitate to use them as a claw sharpener, and after running around the shelves, some of the old books that had been broken were basically reduced to waste paper.
If there is a bystander next to you, you will definitely think that this stupid cat has rabies, which is why it has such an inexplicable behavior. But as some stinger-stained arrows "clank" from all over the room, all the confusion and ridicule melt away - it's just Betty trying to trigger the trap in a safe way.
It has to be said that the level of the sanctuary layout mechanism has not improved much compared with hundreds of years ago.
The "Encyclopedia of the Three Planes of Surprise" records a lot of content about the arrangement of the organs, of course, in line with the principle of not provoking the world, the great astrologer just talked about the way the three races set up traps a hundred years ago, but he didn't expect it to have a guiding effect on the present.
The first layer of traps was easily breached, and Betty used the arrows stuck in the bookshelf as steps and jumped to the front of the compartment in twos and threes.
Unlike the canonical storage room, there is no lock installed on the door of the cubicle, I don't know if it was intentional or negligent today. Betty walked slowly forward, and within two steps, the ground beneath the cat's paws suddenly went limp.
"Boom!"
The ground in the storage room suddenly collapsed into a large piece, and countless sharp stingers stretched out from under the pit dozens of meters deep, and if it fell, it would definitely pierce the body into a hornet's nest, but unfortunately such a rough trap had no effect. Betty jumped open with ease, reached the door of the cubicle, and fiddled with her paws.
As the door to the compartment opened, a milky white halo poured out of it like a flood water. This is not an ordinary holy light, but the fusion of the purple cardinal Harvey and many high-level priest paladins using various divine techniques.
If there is a Night Race below the Gold level in front of you, it only takes a few seconds for all the souls to dissipate after being shrouded in these light clusters.
But in Betty's case, it's just tickling. As a holy relic of the Light Race, it was not at all interested in this divine technique with a strong purification and exorcism effect, and swaggered towards the Shining Sword suspended not far in front of it.
Then, the stupid cat who only thought about the little yellow croaker was not afraid to take the hilt of the sword with his mouth, but before he could touch it, he was bounced away by a strong light.
A weapon of this level like the Shining Sword is like an untamable horse, and it will not be easily harnessed by others.
"Meow!"
Betty, who crashed into the corner, was a little dazed, and a carp stood up, the hair on his whole body exploded, and his whole body tensed up, like a wounded leopard.
Then, Betty jerked to her feet again and lunged at the Radiant Sword.
"Meow!"
When it soared into the air, wisps of milky white light, along with bits of blue light, had already detached from its body one step ahead, like a long snake that flashed brightly, tightly binding the long sword that also emitted white light.
"Buzz!"
The Shining Sword, which had been firmly held by Betty's outstretched claws, made a slight beep, as if unwilling to be held by a cat, but finally could no longer support the levitation, and fell to the ground with Betty's body.
