Chapter 232: Bones

After the brigade finished speaking, she turned around and went downstairs to find the next drink, Xue Ji really followed what the brigade said, picked a bottle of each wine in the wine cabinet, piled it on the table, and found a few clean glasses: "Which bottle shall we try first?" Yukihime grinned and pointed to a dozen different bottles of wine, "You can pick one." ”

"I don't know which bottle is good. Let him pick. Hua Tear said to Chen Pinu while waving his hand to Xue Ji again and again, she is from the demon world, and she hasn't been in the human world for a few days at all, Huaguo wine hasn't figured it out yet, this Lanxi national wine is even more incomprehensible, Chen Pi couldn't help scratching his head, he didn't care about this, naturally he didn't care about it on weekdays, now let him pick, he doesn't know how to start.

"That's it." Chen Pi pointed to a bottle of champagne in his hand and said, "The champagne of Lanxi is famous in the world, only the wine produced in the Champagne region of Lanxi can be called champagne, and the wine produced in other regions is not allowed to be called champagne." And this thing needs to be brewed twice, which also needs to be shaken by hand, the workers have to shake the bottle regularly, and change the angle of the bottle little by little, the procedure is very troublesome, I have a headache to hear, today we will taste it first, come, Xue Ji, it will be better to cool it down. ”

When Xue Ji poured the champagne and brought a few cans and two hams, she said apologetically: "I didn't find anything good, so I can only make do with these first." ”

After three rounds of wine, four or five bottles of wine had been thrown on the table in a mess, Chen Pi and Youlu were quite satisfied with the taste of the champagne, but Xue Ji and Hua Tear regarded it as poison, and after taking a sip, they said that they would not drink anything, and the two opened a few more bottles, and only then did they find another bottle of red wine that suited their tastes.

"Why did you reject the invitation of those two people so resolutely at night, aren't they from the Divine Court, didn't you come this time at the invitation of their Pope?" The tears who drank a little wine were dizzy, and the two red clouds floating on her white cheeks were extraordinarily seductive, seducing the man's heart, the amount of tears was good, but it was on the face as soon as she drank the wine, but she drank a glass of wine like this, and drank a bottle of wine still looked like this.

Chen Pi was still reclining on the chair, his legs on the other chair, took a sip of champagne in the glass, and then replied lightly: "I came to Lanxi to take care of the work, not to help the Divine Court to suppress bandits, not to mention the grievances and grievances between them and the Divine Court, the rights and wrongs are not something that I can understand as an outsider. ”

"Isn't the Divine Court your allies, aren't allies just need to help each other and support each other, I remember that there are many clergy sent by the Divine Court in the country to help you resist the invasion of the demon clan, why are you not willing to help them." Hua asked in surprise with tears on his face.

"The Divine Court is an ally of the Awakened, but they are not my personal allies of Chen Pi, don't confuse these two things, I have no obligation to repay this debt for others, and besides, I am a guest from afar, and it is very polite not to ask them to send someone to protect me, so it is difficult for me, a guest, to protect them." Tangerine peel leisurely picks up a slice of ham from the plate and savors it carefully.

Hua Tear grinned, knelt beside Chen Pi and said: "I'm afraid this can't help you, today we have a grudge with those two necromancers, but you took away the beautiful meat that people have in their mouths, and now they may be scolding you somewhere, if you have a chance to meet again in the future, when the time comes, I'm afraid you don't count if you say it or not." ”

Tears is right, somewhere deep beneath Bali, in a huge unknown cavern, under the starry light on the cave walls, tens of thousands of skeletons and skeleton horses are lined up like an army about to be paraded.

At the top of the cave, more than a dozen necromancers in black or gray cloaks sat around a stone table and were arguing fiercely, and the subject of the argument was the sudden appearance of Chen Pi and his party.

"Bart, you and Xikanli have made a big mistake by missing the time that Lord Qiao Nadan has confessed, but they don't repent, and they have made up many excuses to excuse themselves, what warlocks from the East, how can it be possible, the East is now that the demon clan is invading on a large scale, and they are now too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have the energy to take care of the affairs between us and the Holy See." A necromancer, Chen Sensen, spoke.

"Pei Natuo, you don't spew blood here, let your mother's stinky shit shit." Bart was furious, jumped up from his seat, and pointed at the necromancer under the cloak and scolded, "I, Bart, have never lied, one is one, two is two, unlike you Pei Natuo, who will only sit here and bluff, Hirikan, you don't pull me." Today I met five strange Orientals, two men and three women, and I also fought with one of them, who was not only able to summon demon wolves, but also manipulated the ice as she pleased, and I, Barth, did not take advantage of it, but also injured two Dark Knights, and if it wasn't for Sirikan's timely help, I might even have been injured by her hands. ”

Sirikan sighed secretly, and interrupted Barth's gushing words with a remark: "Pei Natuo, it would be too arbitrary for you to say that, although it is said that the East has become turbulent because of the invasion of the demon clan, but now after all, the influence of the demon clan is still limited to Huaguo, and the warlocks of Huaguo have not been affected too much. There is nothing strange about a few coming over occasionally, and as I mentioned in my report to the adults just now, those Oriental Warlocks don't seem to want to grudge with us, but simply don't want us to kill the two lackeys of the Divine Court in front of them, which can be seen from the fact that they only sent one person to fight from beginning to end, and then took the initiative to leave the battle. ”

"Nonsense." Pei Natuo replied in a disdainful tone, "You brought back tens of thousands of skeletons from the cemetery, how could those lackeys of the Divine Court not notice such a big move, I'm afraid that it has already been sealed up now, I don't want to be so stupid to throw myself into the net." The already piercing voice echoed through the cavern, leaving Sirikan speechless for a moment.

"You." Barth, who had already sat down, couldn't help but stand up again.

The necromancer, who was sitting on the throne of the stone table, whispered, "Bart, sit down." Although the voice was not loud, Barthe, who was thunderous, did not dare to disobey in the slightest, immediately shut up, bowed respectfully, and sat back obediently.

"You don't have to quarrel, I already know the whole thing, what Bart and Sirikan said is true, I have received information, and now the staff of the Divine Court in Bali are looking for five young people from the East in all the large and small hotels in the city like headless flies with the help of the police system in Bali, also two men and three women, it seems that they should be the same group of people as the Oriental people mentioned by Hilikan."

Speaking of this, the necromancer paused for a moment before continuing: "They can use ice as they like and summon demon beasts, it seems that their strength is quite good, but since they have no intention of grudging with us, there is no need for us to have more troubles at this time, Bart, I don't allow you to seek revenge on this matter again, this matter is over, Sirikan, do you have any questions about this?" ”

Sirikan stood up, bowed respectfully, and then said: "Lord Jordan, I dare not have any doubts about your decision, I just want to ask your lordship, if those Orientals are still interfering in our future work, what should we do with them, I personally think that blindly tolerating will only fuel their arrogance." ”

"Well, Sirikan you have a point, although we don't want to cause more trouble, but we must not indulge them too much, let them think that we necromancers are easy to bully, so let's do it, as long as it is not too much, in a few days, our blood friends will come, I believe they will be happy to use these five people for blood sacrifice to those who died in the East." Jordan pondered for a long time and replied indifferently.

"Yes, I respect your teachings." All the necromancers present said in unison.

"Pei Natuo, have you come out with the results of everyone's busy work these days?" Jordan asked, turning his head.

Pei Natuo, who was named, hurriedly bowed down and stood up, and replied respectfully: "Lord Hui, I have already counted it, the twelve of us have collected more than 97,600 human bones in the past three days, of which about one-third are of good quality, and more than 34,200 horse bones of various kinds have also been collected, and we have also prepared the altars and materials needed to refine the dark warriors and knights, as long as the adults give an order, we can start refining immediately." ”

Qiao Nadan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, everyone did a good job, and we will continue to work hard in the rest of the days, I believe everyone understands that over the years, we have avoided head-on conflicts with the Divine Court, so we have never used this altar hidden deep in Bali's ground." ”

"The scale of the altars in other places has a high failure rate compared to refining dark warriors and knights, and in recent years, a large number of new forces have joined our ranks, which has caused us to only have three or five dark guards for everyone now, and we are here this time to use the altar here to refine enough dark guards to change this dilemma."

Speaking of this, Qiao Nadan stood up, looked at the spectacular scene under the high platform, and said with emotion: "We necromancers, no matter how powerful we are, our ability to fight in close quarters is still limited, without sufficient dark guards, even if it is me, it is by no means the opponent of a paladin, but do you young people know that five hundred years ago, the strongest of our necromancers was enough to compete with three paladins alone, and they were not inferior at all." ”

The necromancers let out exclamations when they heard this, the powerful combat power of the paladins, they were familiar with it, and they were ashamed of themselves, they didn't expect that their ancestors could also have the strength to compete with it, and they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in their hearts.

"Penatu, continue to collect the bones and leave it to you and Bart, remember, there is no need to clash head-on with the people of the Divine Court, now is not the time to fight, we just need to be able to attract their attention, and the rest of the people, etc., will come with me." Jordan ordered.

Despite the threat of the plague, the citizens of Bali City have not completely stopped their romantic nightlife, and the taverns and nightclubs are still full of guests, and no one knows that somewhere under their feet, the necromancers are gathering strength and preparing for the opportunity for revenge.

Just when the necromancers led by Jonathan were secretly discussing underground, the ground also became chaotic because of the appearance of necromancers, and the first to be affected by it were naturally the clergy of the Divine Court in Lanxi Kingdom.

The blessing of the famous book of the Bell Tower Stranger, Notre-Dame de Bali, located on a small island in the heart of the Seine, is almost well-known in China as the largest and oldest religious mantis with the highest artistic achievements in Bali, but the headquarters of the Divine Court personnel in Lanxi is in another famous Bali Sacred Praying Mantis Great Cult.

The Sacred Heart Mantis is white in its entirety, on Montmartre Hill, in the 18th arrondissement north of the city of Bali. Its style is quite peculiar, both Romanesque and Byzantine, and its four cupolas and one large cupola are typical of Byzantine architecture.

There are two steps at the entrance of the Sacred Heart Mantis, which go up the hill to make the whole Mantis appear more prominent, and there are three arched doors at the entrance of the Mantis, and there are two bronze statues on horseback on the top of the door, one is Louis IX, King of the Lancey Kingdom.

The other is the statue of Joan of Arc, the national heroine of Lanxi Kingdom, and now due to the long years of wind and rain, a layer of copper rust wraps, so that they become green all over, just like jadeite carving, and white jade-like praying mantis.

At the top of the cult mantis, Bishop Iago of the Divine Court in Bali is pacing back and forth in the hall anxiously, he is waiting for the return of his subordinates, in the past few days, strange things have occurred frequently in the originally peaceful country of Lanxi, and even the always peaceful city of Bali has now appeared traces of necromancers.

He had already received a report from Francisco and Ophelia, and immediately sent a team of ten people to the cemetery to investigate, and at the same time completely sealed off the cemetery, this time thanks to the help of those five strange Orientals, Francisco and Ophelia were able to save this small life, he didn't want to have another one of his already understaffed subordinates die because of this.

As for the five Orientals mentioned by Francisco, he had already found out from the entry records that these five people had taken a flight from China to Bali early yesterday morning, and they had a special entry certificate signed by the Embassy of Lanci.

Orientals from China?

As soon as Bishop Iago heard this, his mind immediately reflected in the mind that the man who had recently been in the limelight in the Holy See, Chen Pi, had even received the supreme honor of being personally invited to meet by His Majesty.

It is said that he has accepted the invitation and will arrive in the west in the near future, but unfortunately the names of these people are not left in the entry certificate, and he cannot be sure whether they are or not, and it is now midnight, and it is not appropriate to call the envoy of the country of Lanxi to inquire about the matter, so Bishop Iago can only leave this question until dawn.

But even so, Bishop Iago immediately sent people to the Bali police station to ask for their assistance in finding the five Orientals in the city's hotels, but unfortunately there has been no response.

"There's no news yet, it seems that they didn't want to make a big splash when they came to Barry, and their help to Francisco was just a coincidence." Bishop Iago couldn't help but think about it, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and put the matter aside for the time being.

The team sent to the cemetery to investigate has brought back their investigation report, which is now a mess, and the bones that were originally neatly stacked are now piled together, and according to their preliminary estimates, nearly 10,000 complete skeletons may be missing.

In an inconspicuous corner of the cemetery, they found a tunnel that could only be crawled by one person, and the tunnel stretched no less than 100 meters underground, and they could not know where it eventually led without anyone daring to go down.

"Nearly 10,000 intact skeletons." This news fell on the heart of Bishop Iago like a heavy missile, and his mind was shocked, and it took him a long time to wake up, and his first reaction at that time was to immediately report the situation to the Vatican, and ask for someone to be sent to investigate immediately, which was an unprecedented event, and the one-time disappearance of nearly 10,000 intact skeletons.

Thinking of this, Bishop Iago couldn't help but secretly curse the former Bali City Councillors who had decided to bury the bones that had been scattered all over the city of Bali, if it weren't for this, how could the necromancers sweep away so many bones so easily.

But he also understood that it was useless to say anything, that group of councillors had already responded to the call of the Lord, and now God knows what layer of hell they were suffering in now, and when his mind cleared up a little, he immediately ordered a thorough inventory of the bones that had been missing in the Bali area in the recent period, and he instinctively felt that what happened today was by no means the first, nor would it be the last.

Nearly 10,000 intact skeletons.

Every time he thought of this, Bishop Iago's heart felt as if it had been ravaged by an invisible hand, and he knew very well what kind of turmoil the necromancers could cause in the land of Lanxi after obtaining so many bones.

As long as he thought that one night in the future, he would see tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers digging out of the ground from the dirt, slashing at the citizens with bone swords in their hands, and he couldn't help but pray to the Lord sincerely.

Just as he was walking around like an ant on a hot pot, there were a few crisp taps outside the hall door, and with his words of "come in", four mermaids with worried faces rushed in, led by a middle-aged man, whose sharp eyes, straight body, and consistent steps of the same size as if measured with a ruler all showed that he had once been an excellent sergeant, followed by a middle-aged priest, holding a thick notebook in his arms, and then back, It's Francesco and Ophelia, who look tired.
