Chapter 149: The Cathedral
The explorers didn't even get in, so the problem inside was big, generally speaking, all the people who explored these places were thieves who were proficient in stealth, although Karel was good at stealth, but he was mainly a warrior, and compared to these specialized explorers, he was still slightly inferior in stealth. After all, there is a specialization in the art industry.
Since these guys can't get in, what are they going to do?
Karel frowned in thought, and then fell asleep unconsciously.
……
"Are you sure your mission is this place for the hell?" Looking at the eerie cathedral in front of him, the leader of the exploration team said with some pain. In other words, you can tell that this place is not a good place at first glance, and even the air has a damp and terrifying smell.
"yes, that's it." After comparing the map and confirming that it was correct, Karel said to the team leader.
"This is a high-danger zone, and if you do want to go in, then you can only wish you good luck, my people won't follow you in." This captain is very rational and does not allow his subordinates to enter such a dangerous place.
"No problem, it's my business." Karel waved his hand, signaling understanding, after all, no regimental commander would send his subordinates to a mortal mission, and he would be directly separated from Germany like that.
Even if they were to follow up, Karel wouldn't allow it, this wasn't a playground.
"Well," the captain gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "We'll wait for you outside for two hours, and if there's any danger, we'll sound the alarm, and we'll throw alchemical potions to attract the attention of the undead." The rest is up to you. ”
The alchemy potion that the captain is talking about is a kind of thing that is specifically aimed at undead creatures, and when thrown out, it will produce a kind of aerosol that has a strong attraction to the undead, which will attract a large number of undead to run in the direction of the throw.
"Well, thank you." Hearing the captain say this, Karel said thank you from the bottom of his heart, there are few people who are so good these days. Then he walked towards the cathedral, and with each step he dimmed, and after three steps he was completely gone.
In the continent of Emis, there are very few gods that mortals believe in, except for the moon god that the elves openly believe in. Only the dragon god I heard when I was slaying dragons in the Misty Swamp before. So, if there are no gods, why build a church?
The reason is simple, Holy Light. A large part of the human race on the continent of Imis believes in the Light. Light is not a religion. It's a philosophy. A way of being, whose warmth and righteousness give its followers strong spiritual strength and spiritual guidance.
May the Holy Light bless you.
But in front of him, the cathedral, which was supposed to be brilliant, was extremely cold and dilapidated. Looking at the towering and ornate Gothic cathedral, Karel can imagine how prosperous it was before the disaster.
The extent of the church area is very large, separated by a thick stone wall on all sides, and through a short, wide passageway, Karel stands at the door of the church area.
Oh! Two gray skeletons with swords and shields emerged from the dirt on either side and roared and charged at Karel, their one-handed swords raised high in the air, ready to slash.
Bite! Karel took a step to the left, parrying the one-handed sword that slashed at him, then grabbed its hip bone and smashed it into the other skeleton, and the two skeletons rolled together in an instant.
Death from the sky! Karel jumped high and smashed into the skeleton like a meteor, making a crisp sound, and one skeleton was directly smashed by Karel with a broken vertebrae, and even a large piece of ribs was shattered.
A black sword light flashed, Karel subconsciously raised his head, the black sword light crossed in front of him, bringing a strand of broken hair, the wind hit, Karel immediately continued to roll back.
Boom! A shield with diamond-shaped sharp corners was stuck where Karel had been half-crouching.
Looking at the shield embedded deep in the stone slab, Karel knew that if he didn't flash fast enough, he would definitely be directly injured.
It's a bit tricky, I didn't expect the undead creatures here to be so powerful.
The undead creature does not judge the situation, does not fear, does not hesitate, and in the face of the living, it only uses its instinct to chase and fight, and as soon as Karel turned over, the undead pulled the shield out of the ground, and then walked towards Karel step by step.
Fortunately, he can't run, and his movements are not agile enough. Looking at the standard movements of the skeleton in front of him, Karel suddenly thought of the black guy he had met before.
Holding the dagger back, Karel cast a shadow step to the back of the skeleton, stabbed the skeleton's head with a backhand, felt the attack, the skeleton turned to block, and then was blocked by Karel's dagger, this is a false move, specially used to counter the block, and then when the skeleton's shield swung over, the dagger in the other hand directly exploded its head.
"I finally ...... Free! An ethereal voice sounded, startling Karel, looking around, and finally saw a very faint figure in front of him, it was a weak soul, after shouting these words, the soul slowly dissipated.
This is no longer something that can be described by the word weird. By the time the living became undead, the soul had burned into a soul fire, and Karel had never seen such a reversal.
The same scene occurred after stomping on the skeletal head that had been shattered in the spine, accompanied by an ethereal "The nightmare is over!" A faint phantage appeared, and Karel smiled at him at the sight of the phantage before slowly dissipating.
There must be something wrong with this, and the scene where the soul fire reverses into a soul successfully arouses Karel's curiosity.
Squatting down and checking the two sets of swords and shields on the ground, it is estimated that only the thing can see something.
Pulling aside the skeleton on the ground, Karel carefully examined the weapon that was lying quietly on the ground.
Under the erosion of the rich shadow element, this set of swords and shields has become gray, and it is also covered with black spots, but between these patches, the material of this set of swords and shields can still be clearly seen.
The one-handed sword is about 1.2 meters long and 12 centimeters wide, and it is heavier, but for a profession known for its strength, it can be slashed and pierced, which is considered a more practical weapon, and between the patches, a hint of golden-colored light can be seen.
Of course, it is not gold, but real silver mixed with kryptonite, sersilver, and high-quality steel. If you really use gold to make zuò, then a few chops will turn it into a metal stick. Touching the spine of the sword, through the unique super magic perception of the blood elves, Karel could feel the faint holy light in the cold and obscure shadow element.
Paladin, Karel let out a sigh, this is the church, and these two are using weapons with holy light effects, it should be that the paladin didn't run away.
Paladin, this is a class that uses the Holy Light as a fighting energy, and can use the Holy Light in different ways, which can attack, defend, and heal, and at the same time, the Holy Light can also be regarded as the sworn enemy of the undead.
But now, the paladin, who is known as the sworn enemy of the undead, has become an undead, and there are many more problems here.
The reason is very simple, the priest may become an undead creature or even a necromancer because he has mastered the power of the shadow, but a paladin who can only master the power of the Holy Light is absolutely impossible to become an undead creature, just like fire and water are incompatible.
But what he saw in front of him shattered Karel's perception.
Put away the sword and shield on the ground, this is excellent equipment after all, and it can still be used after purification and repair.
Now Karel had time to observe where he was, and now he was in a large square, and in front of him was the magnificent cathedral, in the center of which was a circular fountain, and in the pool there was a collapsed statue, and the green belt around the pool was all dead, and the earth had turned black and brown and smelled strange. Karel stood on the edge of the pool and looked inside, the pool that should have been crystal clear was now only a thin layer of foul-smelling black pulp, filled with corpses, and many strange bugs the thickness of arms writhing in it, disgusting.
Without alerting them, Karel remained stealthy and began to explore the perimeter carefully, knowing that his target was in the cathedral in front of him, but who had smashed the Yellow Dragon in the first place? I'm not afraid of being dumpled by monsters outside.
On the left side of the square is a row of shops, and on the gate there are signs hanging one after another, what kind of armor shop, weapon shop, potion shop or something. Karel threw a pebble in, snapped a few times, and sure enough, a group of skeletons, as well as a few ghouls and ooze monsters, crawled around inside.
Fortunately, I didn't go in just now, otherwise it would have been terrible, you see that ghoul, the tips of his claws have already appeared black light, this thing represents the power of the shadow that ignores the armor defense, and being close to this thing, even if it is a protective warrior and guardian knight wearing heavy plate armor and a shield, it will be scratched to death in minutes.
Not to mention the slime monster that dragged a long corrosive mark on the ground.
As for the right side of the square, the words on the door number are no longer legible, but the word "children" can be vaguely seen.
"Children? Kindergarten? Karel began to dig his head hard.
I threw a lot of stones and went in and there was no response, either the IQ inside was high enough to see Karel's stone-throwing to ask for directions, or it didn't pay attention to it at all, or it was empty, and there was not a single undead inside.
Not daring to take it lightly, Karel tiptoed in, through the dilapidated environment on the first floor, rotten tables and chairs, and moldy toys, it could be seen that this should be the place where those children learn to play, and on the wooden frame on the side, Karel even saw rows of wooden swords and staffs.
After wandering around the first floor for a while, Karel managed to find the staircase upstairs, which was a wooden spiral staircase, although it had been eroded for more than 50 years, but it looked relatively sturdy, and against the wall, Karel walked up a little bit carefully.
When he turned the corner and saw the scene on the second floor, Karel couldn't help but be stunned.
On the second floor is a dining room, and hundreds of short figures are sitting neatly at the table, looking like they are waiting for the meal to start. (To be continued......)
