9 Guardian of the Holy Relic

Under the gloomy sky, the hull town, which should have been silent due to the rain, was now constantly being walked out of their homes, and then stared in a certain direction, either stunned or vigilant.

At this moment, a large number of white stone bricks appeared out of thin air, and then quickly staggered and stacked, finally forming a wall that blended in with the surrounding buildings without any gaps.

Under the successive calls, people continue to gather.

This kind of phenomenon does not seem to affect them for the time being, but many people are caught off guard by this.

A knight on patrol was suddenly cut off. The old drunkard who peed in the alley was at a loss for what to do with the towering wall that crept out at the exit, and an unfortunate child happened to walk to the place where the wall was born and was caught off guard by the wall being lifted from the surface of the ground into the air, so he howled in fright......

In the midst of it, the people didn't notice how drastically the hull was changing, and they could only see the white walls rising from their living quarters, which was amazing enough.

"Is this a magic performed by the church?"

"It looks like so, this wall is white."

"What does color alone mean?"

"I guess there's no danger in that, because if there were, the church would have come to inform us."

……

It was natural for people to guess the reason for the appearance of these walls, and some naughty boys who did not care about the occasion even leaned over and knocked on these walls, causing the people around them to reprimand them angrily—

It's unclear what the purpose of these walls is, but with a little brainstorming, you can guess that the appearance of these walls has something to do with the defense of Hull Town.

This is tantamount to involving everyone's safety, and naturally cannot be treated casually.

But in fact, this is something they are worried about, because this kind of wall cannot be destroyed by normal people if they want to.

Because they are not simply walls, but walls that have been sanctified by supernatural powers.

……

Bernie, the maker of countless walls, was standing at the top of the clock tower in the heart of Hull Town.

The clock tower was so tall that he could see all the buildings in Shiphull.

And this also makes it easier for Bernie to perform.

The top of the clock tower, surrounded by a curtain of gray rain, was very quiet, and Bernie stood in it, holding a handful of gold coins in his left hand and the picture he had drawn earlier in his right hand, his eyes constantly moving from place to place in the relatively small hull town below.

As he watched, white walls rose from the streets of the town.

At the same time, the wealth in the chest behind Bernie was rapidly shrinking, and the large amount of gold coins piled up inside seemed to turn into some magical ink after passing through his hands, and Bernie's gaze continued to outline all kinds of physical traces in the town in the rain curtain.

This trace was subtle at first, but became more and more obvious over time, and eventually became basically the same as the drawing at hand.

The basic reason for this is that this "sacred ritual" based on the original architecture of the hull town has not yet fully taken shape.

Because the shadow of the enemy has not yet appeared, perfecting it now will only cause trouble for others.

However, this last step was very easy to turn on, and Bernie withdrew his gaze.

After looking down at an unused gold coin in his palm, he glanced at the half-shrunken box next to him.

Two hazy figures appeared on either side, and after a moment's pause, they followed Bernie down the clock tower with their chests.

There were several deacons guarding the hall at the bottom of the clock tower, and they were surprised to see Bernie and the hazy figure behind him.

But since Bernie gave several unique sermons a while ago, no one has speculated too much about his mystical abilities - I can't figure it out anyway.

"Father Bernie, those wall ......" Seeing Bernie walking down the stairs, a deacon named Broad approached and asked.

"It's a precautionary measure, if a fish-man hits here, it can have a defensive effect."

Bernie spoke briefly, then ordered, "Send someone to inform the believers in the town, so that they can get used to the presence of these walls immediately." At the same time, they were told that when we started ringing the bell, we should stop immediately and come to church quickly. ”

This is a necessary action in the event of a disaster, and the deacon nodded before turning and proceeding.

Bernie then looked at the other deacon.

"Call the sheriff, I need to talk to him about the defense of Hull."

This was not the duty of the church, but no one objected to it at this time, and the deacon, who had received the order, naturally ran out of the door to inform him.

Bernie then looked at the last deacon who existed.

Seeing this, the other party was the first to speak, "The two evil spirits you rebelled against have already received the next order from their side, Priest. ”

"What did you say?"

"Just tell them to go to Rotten Fish Street and find a tavern owner named Jim and tell him to get ready."

The deacon said, "But the specific preparation is not mentioned. ”

Bernie nodded.

"Maltz, do they know about it?"

"It has been notified, and they are now waiting for your orders."

"Then do what they think."

Bernie replied, not asking what the witchers would do about it, and hurried in the direction of the church.

But halfway through he suddenly remembered something, and stopped the deacon, who had not gone far.

"By the way, let those two evil spirits go, since they have revealed the news, they are equivalent to being on our side."

That being said, the order still sounds a little abrupt and careless. However, Bernie's prestige in Gülen Church was high, and the deacon did not have any objection to this.

Bernie then walked into the church and walked towards the area behind the church.

Although the group of heretics who drove the "evil spirits" were expelled from Shiphull, they had been in Shiphull for many years, and it was impossible for them to have no roots and informants.

Now that they can get on the line with the Sea Clan, they must have their support and be able to show corresponding value in front of the Sea Clan.

However, no matter what they relied on, as long as the overall framework remained the same, they could not change the direction of things unless they could cause subversive destruction to Hull.

This is not restraint at the strategic level, but crushing at the technical level.

Thoughts raced through his mind, and it appeared that Bernie had come to the end of a long corridor somewhere behind the church.

At the end of the place was a heavy wooden door, which opened to reveal a deep passage illuminated by torches.

The passage spun downwards and stepped into it, and Bernie eventually came to a stone door deep underground.

The open space in front of the stone gate is narrow, with two braziers burning quietly on either side, and a side door next to it.

Bernie's arrival caused the side door to open quietly, and out of it came a gray-haired witcher.

The witcher didn't speak, but just reached out.

Bernie took off a silver ring from his left ring finger and handed it over, and the other party took it back to a dark room inside the side door.

After a while, the stone door at the end was slowly opened with a rumbling sound, and a bright secret room was revealed.

The secret room is not a big place, but it is full of black stone boxes or stone boxes, and the surrounding walls are all pure silver, and they are still faintly emitting a cold blue light.

Stepping inside, Bernie ignored the neatly arranged black containers on either side and made his way to a shrine in the deepest part of the chamber.

Then he bowed his head and prayed here according to the procedure, and then opened a golden stone box on the table in front of the shrine.

Two items come into view.

One of them was a silver-trimmed mirror, and the other was a black chain—

As Bernie watched, a stream of information slowly emerged in his mind—

[This is a special chain made from the blood of glory smelted by ecclesiastical characters, with which the user can inflict a forbidden effect on transcendents below four personalities for 24 hours]

……

[This is a unique mirror formed by the fusion of the beliefs and destiny of the people of Hull Town, which can amplify the functions of any extraordinary ability or item and spread to the entire range of Hull Town]
