A group of men galloped all the way to the location of the town's sanctuary before finally stopping. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The priest Andrew, who had been praying in the church, heard the noise outside, apparently already knew who was coming, and immediately greeted him. Seeing so many brightly armored paladins outside the Sanctuary, he still looked a little frightened, despite his preparation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm the priest of the town." Andre bowed slightly, "Your Excellency is from out of town?" I don't know what I can do. ”

Gad obviously didn't like such polite words, and said directly: "I want to see Lord Herbert, please go in and inform me." ”

"Lord Herbert?" The priest looked up at the crowd with a blank face, "There is no one named Herbert here, only me, a priest, and a few other saints. ”

Probably expecting such an answer, the tall man who was standing behind immediately burst out and said to the priest Andrei: "Do you still know me?" A few days ago, I came with the others to send you crystal nuclei. Rest assured, they are not Bishop Harvey's men, but clergy members who were previously imprisoned in the Inquisition of the Light. They are here today to work with Master Herbert against Harvey. ”

Hearing such an explanation, Andrei's face showed some doubt. But after this, he still shook his head firmly: "I really haven't heard of Herbert the person. ”

As if he had lost his patience, a paladin suddenly drew a long sword sharp at his waist, the blade of which was pressed straight to Andrei's neck. Gad looked inside and walked straight into the sanctuary.

The sanctuary in the town is not very large, so it can be said that it is clear at a glance. Gade and several paladins walked around the room, but found nothing, so they had to look at André again: "I hope you can tell us where Master Herbert is, this time it has nothing to do with the overthrow of Bishop Harvey, but with your life - where did they go?" ”

"Tell me quickly, can't you believe us?" The tall man also urged anxiously. If this group of paladins really didn't see the shadow of Herbert and his party in the end, they would definitely take all their resentment on him and his companions, and the two would definitely die.

There was already a drop of sweat on the priest's forehead. No matter what kind of thoughts he had before, his life was at stake now, so he could only tell the truth: "They have entered the Demon Realm Forest, and they will only come back when they receive a signal to confirm their safety." ”

"What signal?"

"Three Holy Light Bullets, which they can only observe at a fixed time at night."

Gade waved his hand at the paladin next to the priest, who withdrew his sword into its scabbard, "Then send the signal tonight." If you don't see these people by tomorrow morning, you, along with these two friends, will go to hell. ”

……

Night soon came. As the sun went down, the town quickly fell into darkness and silence.

In the small square in front of the Sanctuary, several paladins were standing. In front of them were three inconspicuous-looking cylindrical objects, emitting a soft milky white glow, with leads protruding from the center of the cylinder.

If Piger were here, he would see that this so-called "Holy Light Bullet" was similar to something else he had seen a long time ago. But here, the Holy Light Bullet is still a very new thing, having only recently been invented by an alchemist in a city next to the town who was immersed in the study of material proportions. The paladins standing next to them didn't know what this thing was going to do, and they all gathered around curiously.

At this time, Priest Andrei looked up at the sky, exhaled a white breath vigorously, and said to the paladin next to him: "The time has come. ”

Old Paladin Gade nodded. Andre then took out his fire sickle, very carefully lit the fuse on the Holy Light Bullet, and quickly ran to the side.

The paladins who were watching the bustle from the side didn't understand what was going on, and the Holy Light Bullet had already exploded around them.

"Ding-dong!"

The first muffled sound lifted the tip of the Light Bullet into the sky, and then the light-blessed particulate matter inside was heated and dispersed. At the same time as there was a second deafening loud sound, small particles ignited by the holy light swayed through the sky, shining brightly, illuminating the entire small square as if it were day.

Because the paladins who were frightened just now and were about to scold at this time saw such a scene, the anger on their faces immediately turned into amazement. Priest Andrei did not pause, and then lit the second and third light bullets.

In the Demon Domain Forest, more than ten kilometers away from the town, the night watchman sitting in the treetops was drowsy. Because this place only belongs to the periphery of the Demon Domain Forest, there are not many Demon Beasts. There were some small demonic beasts, and before they could get close to these people, they were already scared away by the holy light power carried on their weapons.

At this time, from the corner of his eye, the night watchman suddenly saw a dazzling white light in the sky in the direction of the town, and then heard several loud noises. Almost instantly, he sprang up and rolled over to the ground to report the situation to the old paladin Herbert.

"It looks like the crisis has been resolved." One of the paladins said, "Could it be that the man sent by Harvey walked around the town and found that there was no sign of us, so they turned around and left?" ”

"I don't think it's that simple. Those guys might pretend to leave, and then hide somewhere, wait for us to get out, and then come in one fell swoop. "But there's nothing to be afraid of." It's only fifty people, which is the same number as us. Even if, as the news came back, there are a lot of gold-level masters among these guys, but we are not weak. If there is a real fight, it is not certain who will lose and who will win. ”

Hearing this, the old paladin Herbert next to him said coldly: "Do you think I am really afraid of these people? If I really want to fight them, we will have plenty of time to bring in enough men from nearby settlements to help them annihilate them in one fell swoop. But in that case, we might end up off Harvey's old fellow and sending more people against us. In order to be able to pull Harvey out of the bishopric position, we must first recharge our energy and not expose our strength too early. ”

Such an analysis was immediately echoed by many.

One paladin said, "I have an idea. Whether it's safe outside now, of course, we don't know inside. But you can find two people to dress up in disguise and go outside to find out the situation. (To be continued.) )
