Chapter XVIII The White Sea

The temple is the spiritual leader of the world, and it is the gathering place of faith for almost the entire human society, and it has always been resisted by the royal families of various countries, and the dispute between divine power and royal power has existed since ancient times, but no country dares to ignore the faith of the people to face the temple head-on, and the temple has never interfered in the politics of various countries, so the two have always been at peace.

However, as a kingdom, Lanze can have a world status second only to the three major empires, firstly because it has the Lanze Demon Martial Academy, which is known as the "Holy Hall of Knowledge" in the world, and on the other hand, because the main hall of the temple is also located in the territory of Lanze.

As a spiritual leader, the temple naturally also has its own guarding power, which is divided into two types, one is the magic guardian, known as the "Divine Master", and the other is relatively large, but the number is also limited, that is, the "Templar Knight".

Most young people aim to join the ranks of the Templars, as it is not only an honor, but also an affirmation of their own strength.

The strength of the Templar Knights is recognized by everyone, since the records have been, in history, the Templars have only participated in one war, that is, the Imperial Holy War thousands of years ago, when the Zhenyue Empire on the other side of the ocean was strong, the navigation technology was extremely developed, and it came across the sea to provoke the war, Arashi Ze bore the brunt of the war, was caught in the war, and soon became a world war, and the other two empires also participated in the war, but I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, for Lan Ze's rescue force, it was relatively weak, and Lan Ze suffered heavy losses because of this, and at this time, the temple finally took action and saved the situation with absolute power, among them, the power of the Templars is something that many people have witnessed.

Most of the knights in the main hall of the temple came from the Arashi Ze Kingdom, and in the face of the invasion of the enemy, they were naturally inevitably angry, and under the orders of the temple, the knights of the temple poured out of the nest, and in the face of the powerful Zhenyue army, they showed more powerful power, which not only shocked the Zhenyue Empire, but also made the royal families of many other countries feel fearful.

The war ended with the defeat and surrender of the Zhenyue Empire, and Lieyang and Winster did not take the opportunity to invade the territory of Arashizawa and obediently retreated, which has to be said that a large part of this is due to the reverence for the temple.

After the war, the Zhenyue Empire, which had no faith, had one more branch of the temple, which also became the shadow of the royal family of the Zhenyue Empire, and Lan Ze, although he suffered heavy losses, and even the Demon Martial Academy suffered many losses, but it also became the kingdom power in the world second only to the three major empires, but the royal family of Lan Ze was slightly inconspicuous under the aura of the temple and the Demon Martial Academy.

And now, the remains of a Templar have been found in this ruin, and judging by the skull's bony luster, this Templar must have been very strong during his lifetime.

The skeleton's armor was tattered and dim, and a heavy sword had been broken in two, and it could be seen from the damage to the armor and the gap in the broken sword that this Templar must have suffered a great crisis, facing many enemies, but I don't know why he came to this ruin, and why he was attacked and died here.

Lore and the others were silent for a while, Templars were a very sacred profession to them, and they all felt a little pity when they suddenly saw the remains of a Templar.

Kylo frowned, he cared more about what was in the ruins than Lore's compassion for them, and Kylo had carefully examined the material of the sword, and he was sure that even if he wanted to cut it, it would not be an easy task.

Kylo looked at the silent few people and said, "Let's see if he has any items on him that can prove his identity, and when we go out, we can also report to the temple." ”

Leah glanced at Kylo, shook her head, and said, "It's useless. ”

Leah is a believer in the temple, and she is a very religious kind, when she heard Lore say the words "Templar Knight", Leah was no longer afraid to hide behind a few people, for some reason, she also knew more about the temple, for Kylo's words, she directly shook her head in denial.

"When the Templar goes out, he only carries a unique emblem to prove his identity during major ceremonies or when he is on a mission, and the remains of this Templar are not taken away by his companions, and there are no other Templar remains around, which means that he is on a secret mission alone, in this case, he will certainly not carry anything that can prove his identity. ”

After listening to Leah's explanation, Kylo frowned inadvertently, can't you carry the identity of the temple when performing a secret mission? This is really a strict rule, until he dies, he can only prove his bright identity through the temple badge engraved in the depths of his soul, Kylo was a little inexplicably sad for a while.

"Then let's bury him, since we have met him, we can't just watch him expose his body to the wilderness. ”

Leah nodded solemnly, and then several people worked together to dig a tomb and build a simple tomb for the Templar knight, and the burial process once again proved Leah's correctness, this Templar Knight, except for the brand on his forehead, could not find any other proof of identity, no name, no past, except for a few young men and women who came here on a whim, no one knew that there was a temple knight buried here.

Aitch found a stone, carved it into a square with his sword, and carved the words "Unknown Knight of the Temple" on the stone, which was used as his tombstone, which could be regarded as an affirmation of this unknown knight.

When everything was done, Leah sat down cross-legged in front of the tombstone, closed her eyes, and whispered a prayer for the Templar.

Kylo looked at Leah in surprise, it wasn't that he was puzzled by Leah's behavior, in fact, with Leah's piety, it was strange not to do so, what shocked Kylo was that he felt a very pure divine aura on Leah, this breath was different from Nolans's light magic fluctuations, but a kind of divinity that made people feel comfortable unconsciously, divinity is something that exists in every temple believer, but ordinary people, and even temple officials may not be how strong, and like Leah's strong aura, he has only felt in one person。

Lore tugged at Kylo's sleeve and whispered, "Looking at your expression, you can also feel the special aura on Leah's body, right?"

Kylo looked back at Lore and replied in the same low voice, "I can feel a very sacred aura, what is it?" and Nolans they don't seem to feel anything. ”

Lore shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know what this is, but I heard that Leah received the blessing of the Grand Priest of the Temple at a very young age, well, it should be regarded as a kind of divinity." This kind of divinity is different from light magic, very few people can perceive it, and Aitch knows it, but he can't feel it, and Nolans is the same, but you can actually feel it, which means that your affinity for light is quite high!

Kylo smiled, ignoring Lore's teasing, he didn't think he would have any affinity with the light, he was just standing in the shadow behind the light, if he could be close to the light, it would only mean that the goddess in charge of the light had accidentally lost his mind and looked at the wrong person.

Kylo frowned, and asked Lol with some confusion: "Lore, you should know Leah's identity, right?" I think Leah's identity must not be so simple, an ordinary person has no chance to be blessed by the Grand Priest of the Temple. ”

Faced with Kylo's doubts, Lore turned his head directly and said, "Don't ask me, I can't say." ”

Kylo raised an eyebrow, can't he say it again?

"Forget it, when I didn't ask......" Kylo didn't finish his sentence as he suddenly turned his head to look at a corner in the darkness in the distance.

"What's wrong?"

Kylo locked the qi machine in the place he felt just now, but he didn't find anything special, Kylo was absolutely sure that he didn't feel wrong, and his tone couldn't help but be a little solemn: "There was movement in that direction just now. ”

Lore quickly informed Aitch and Nolans not far away, and several people surrounded Leah, who was still praying, in the center, carefully guarding the direction that Kylo said.

In the ruins of the ancient battlefield, in the dark environment, only the power stones in the hands of Kylo and others and the light of the stars and moon in the sky loomed, and Leah's prayer voice was particularly clear in the quiet environment, and Kylo and the others paid close attention to that corner, but they never found any movement.

Nolans said with some confusion, "Nothing? This place has nothing but stones! Kylo, did you hear me wrong?"

Aitch and Lore frowned slightly, they didn't take it lightly, but the expressions on their faces were obviously confused.

Kylo let go of his qi and carefully felt his surroundings, which was not particularly obvious in that village, since entering this ruin, Kylo had always been a little irritable, and now he realized that it was because his perception was weakened!

The depression of his mood did not show on Kylo's face, he just looked around with a blank face and calmly responded to Nolans's words: "I can't go wrong with my feelings. ”

"It's coming!" At this moment, Kylo once again caught the movement coming from a distance, and then, a slight "rustle" sound was heard in all directions, and the sounds gathered together, which were exceptionally clear in the night sky, and Loel and the others couldn't help but change their faces suddenly.

Lore's fingers folded, ready to deal with unknown dangers, Aitch held his two-handed sword in front of him, and Kylo's fingertips shone with a faint blue cold light.

Lore whispered, "Nolans, look what they are!"

Lore's words naturally did not make Nolans rush out, and Nolans would not be stupidly mistaken, on the contrary, although this team has not been established for a long time, the tacit understanding between the team members has gradually formed, as early as after Lore just called Nolans' name, Nolans has already thrown the prepared light spell into the night sky.

The ruins were large, and Nolanth's light spell was so powerful that it could only illuminate a corner of it, but it was enough for everyone to see where the sounds were coming from.

Skeleton!

There are moving bones on all sides!

Dense, like a white sea in the dark night!

And the direction of the waves is a few strange visitors in the ruins!
