Chapter 103: The Gate of Glory

Inside the church? Feet?

When Finn told the crowd where they were going, the young people in the Great Hall all blinked blankly, apparently not understanding what Finn meant, after all, beneath their feet were the stone brick floors of the hall, which had nothing special other than corpses and blood on the surface.

"Wait, sir." In the middle of the night, Arroyo, who was carrying a half-fairy girl on her back, was the first to react, "You want to say that there is a basement in this church?" ”

"Correct." Finn smiled and nodded at him.

As the words fell, the young paladin walked up to the statue of Gazteth, the god of justice, in the depths of the auditorium, under the gaze of four pairs of eyes, and reached out to rest his palm against the surface of the pedestal at the foot of the marble statue. He aligned his hand in the position he remembered, then cast a spell on the surface of the base in front of his palm, then took a half-step back and released his hand from it, and the white light gathered in that place, as if the molten iron slurry had burned a circular groove on the surface of the marble base.

When the resulting light dissipated, Finn took out his holy knight emblem, which was a professional badge, and pressed it into the groove on the surface of the base, the frame of the emblem perfectly matched the shape of the groove, and the same round badge was like a key in the groove, first turning the pointer ninety degrees, and then turning one hundred and eighty degrees counterclockwise, and several stone brick floors next to the marble god statue suddenly collapsed with a "poof".

The movement around the idol immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Arya, Raymond, Sua, and Arroyo, who was carrying the little girl on her back, quickly gathered around to inspect it, and found that there was an extra staircase that stretched below the surface.

You can see that it is a secret passage.

"Hurry up." Fein casually admonished, and then took the lead down the stairs.

The rest of the auditorium looked at each other, but they finally had a high level of trust in Finn, and they quickly followed the young paladin and left where they were.

The staircase of the passage descends in a spiral, but the width is not narrow enough for three adults to walk side by side, and the glowing stones embedded in the brick walls appear at intervals, so that visitors entering the passage will not be deterred by losing their vision. Spiraling down the hidden staircase, Finn led the others behind him to the end of the staircase, getting closer and closer to the thing he remembered hiding beneath the cathedral of Tiamagos.

After a while, they walked down the spiraling staircase to the bottom of this underground space, a miniature square with a radius of about six or seven meters appeared in front of them under the illumination of the glowing stones on the surrounding walls, the floor surface of the small square was covered with a shallow layer of dust accumulated by time, and in the center stood a vaulted door frame four meters high and two and a half meters wide.

Sua stood behind Fein and watched everything in front of her, she looked at the tall vaulted door frame in amazement, and her mind flashed to something that the Marshallese priest had mentioned to her in the past, and suddenly tried to confirm it out loud: "The Gate of Glory? ”

"The Gate of Glory? What is that? Raymond looked confused, and subconsciously looked at Arya, who was closest to him......

Looking sideways at the swordsman youth's gaze, the elf girl shrugged: "I don't know." ”

"It's said to be a kind of portal." Arroyo, who was carrying a half-elf girl on her back, interjected, "But I'm not sure if it's true. ”

After speaking, the half-understood thief youth turned his head to look at the young knight and the nun in front of him, waiting for the professional's answer.

"As Mr. Arroyo said, the Gate of Glory is a kind of portal." Su Ya turned her body to look at the three people behind her and explained, "In Ferdia, in order to stably control the religious and secular order in various parts of the continent, the church has set up the Shining Gates in some important parishes, and these Shining Gates scattered around the world are connected to the Shining Gates of St. Anthony's Cathedral. To put it simply, St. Anthony's Cathedral, where His Holiness is located, is a shortcut to the important parishes, and when turmoil or war breaks out, the Knights of the Church of Mithril can rush to the battlefield in the fastest time, no matter how far apart they are. ”

"So powerful?" The future Juggernaut was a little surprised.

"After all, the Gate of Glory itself was designed for holy war." Fein continued, adding, "Because of the military importance of the Radiance to the Church, the Templars do not use them for minor local conflicts, and their existence is not disclosed to ordinary clergy, and the confidential information of these portals is generally in the hands of the Pope, the Cathedral Priest, and a few elite members of the Mithril Knights. ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the portal in the center of the small square that connected to the Templar headquarters, and the portal called the Radiant Gate was soon standing quietly in front of the young paladin, with the same inlay of the emblem on one of the pillars on either side of the door frame as the base of the marble statue in the Great Hall.

It is evident that the luminous faΓ§ade hidden beneath the Cathedral of Tiamagos has not yet been activated, and the space between its two doorposts and the curved vault has no special visual effect, only filled with a dull cloud of air that has been closed in the basement for a long time.

"Mr. Finn." Su Ya and others also came over one after another.

"Just call me Finn." Finn looked back at her.

"Hmm... Fane. Miss Nun's gaze met his, "Excuse me, are you trying to activate this Gate of Glory?" ”

"Yes." Without hesitation, the young paladin admitted, "As the Knight of Bergro said, it is undoubtedly the most direct and effective way to let the church headquarters know about the events of Hurengel tonight, activate the Gate of Glory, and open the teleportation tunnel between the Basilica of Tiamagos and the Basilica of St. Anthony." ”

"But how do we activate it?" Miss Sister asked, "The Marshallese priest went on a business trip to the Faentan Empire a week ago, and Priest McCas, who temporarily took over the management of the church, betrayed the church again, and we don't know how to activate this glorious gate." ”

She stared worriedly at the young paladin in front of her.

However, a second later, the latter replied calmly, "I know the way." ”

"What?"

"See that emblem groove on the doorpost? Put the emblem given to us by the church, first turn it 360 degrees counterclockwise, and perform a non-destructive one-ring magic on the emblem, then turn it 180 degrees clockwise to perform a two-ring magic of the same nature, and finally take off the holy emblem 90 degrees counterclockwise, a four-ring magic of the same nature. If nothing happens, St. Anthony's Cathedral will receive a signal from us to them after this, and wait a little while for the priest over there to open the door and connect the teleportation tunnels on both sides. ”

Miss Nun froze for a moment.

Finn knew more than she expected, and she couldn't help but wonder who this fellow priest was standing in front of her.

First of all, he must not be a Pope. - she guessed.

As for the chief priest, he is too young to match the two.

Ruled out all the way, is he an elite member of the Mithril Knights?

So young?

He looked like he was only about twenty years old.

"Suya?" Seeing that Miss Nun seemed to be distracted, Fein was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the former's eyes, "Sister Suya?" Are you listening? ”

"Ah...... Ah, listening. Su Ya was startled and immediately came back to her senses.

Her expression was slightly sluggish, and Finn thought that she had some unspeakable difficulty in her heart, so he hurriedly asked her, "Could it be that you don't know how to use magic skills above the three rings?" ”

Ferdia's magic class is divided into low, middle and high three levels, except for a very small number of legendary magic that surpasses the nine rings, the magic of the mortal world is composed of one, two, and three rings to form the low level, the four, five, six rings to form the middle level, and the seven, eight, and nine rings to form the high level.

Unlike the all-round development of the Paladin, the Priest is a spell-casting class that specializes in divine arts, and even the advanced melee War Priest cannot relax in his study of divine arts. Based on the experience of his previous life, Fein estimated that a priest like Su Ya who was capable of working in the Cathedral of Tiamagos, even if he did not complete the career advancement, should at least reach the level of mastering one or two four-ring divine arts in terms of divine attainments - otherwise, the assessment system of the Holy Church is on top, Miss Su Ya, how did you sneak into the church with the level of the Radiant Gate?

Of course, if Su Ya really didn't know the Four Rings Divine Technique, Finn would have to cover his face and admit that he was unlucky.

After all, it turns out that Ferdia in this life has already had plot deviations that do not match the memories of his previous life, and the NPCs' thoughts are very different from those of the players, who knows what they think deep down?

"No, no, no, I know the magic of the four rings." Fortunately, seeing that Finn's eyes widened, Su Ya hurriedly explained, "I also remember the procedure for opening the door." First 360 degrees counterclockwise, a one-ring magic that is not afraid of destruction, then 180 degrees along the pointer, a two-ring magic of the same nature, and finally 90 degrees counterclockwise, a four-ring magic technique, remove the holy emblem...... Well, it's all written down. ”

"Oh, that's good." Hearing Miss Nun's answer, Finn finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Then, the task of opening the door, I will leave it to you next." ”

"What about you?" Hearing that the young paladin had other intentions, the thoughtful nun immediately asked.

"Go to Count Drew to settle the score." Finn replied.

His face regained its usual composure at this moment, but his eyes were resolute, and his gaze was as sharp as a sword.
