Chapter 67: The Rescuer
"Giggle......
As the cold sword pierced through the Templar's heart, blood spilled out, and Lin Tuo noticed that the knight's dark pupils suddenly dilated.
A faint, barely visible wisp of black gas gushed out and dispersed with the wind.
This made him raise his eyebrows slightly, and then he held the long sword, and he kept moving.
Puff puff, kill the rest of the knights one by one in one go.
In his view, death is the best destination for them, regardless of their state or the evil deeds they have inflicted.
And that wasn't the end of it, he looked up at the church in the center of town, where, according to Baron Carter, the captured wizards were imprisoned in the convent behind the church.
There, too, there should be some Templars who need to be cleared.
"If you commit evil deeds under my guise, you should also be prepared to be punished." Lin Tuo whispered in his heart, thought about it, bent down to pick up a cloak, and put it on his body.
Then he glanced coldly at the butler, who had already collapsed in terror at the gate of the castle, turned his head, and went straight in the direction of the church.
……
The castle is not too far from the monastery.
I don't know if it was because of the arrival of the Church Knights, even though it was already dawn, but the streets were empty, and occasionally some pedestrians were in a hurry.
The air was filled with a sense of solemnity and tension.
When Lin Tuo wore a pitch-black cloak and walked along the bluestone-paved streets towards his destination, the citizens along the way all avoided it, their eyes fearful.
Not long after, a tall and solemn building appeared in front of Lin Tuo, and there was not a single pedestrian in this area, and the street was quiet and terrifying.
"You are ......"
Seeing Lin Tuo's figure, an ordinary priest at the door was shocked and tried to speak.
"Those wizards, where are they kept? Take me there. In the black cloak, Lin Tuo's emotionless voice came out.
"Who are you? The church is a big place, and ...... idle"
The ordinary missionary's face changed, and he was about to reprimand, but in the next second, he saw a blood-stained sword pierce out of his cloak and strike it precisely in front of his throat: "Lead the way." ”
……
After about a minute, Lin Tuo walked through the vestibule of the monastery, and finally arrived at the area where the Templars were located, which was also the prison where the wizards were held, and there were indeed some people left behind.
"Who?"
Seeing the church knight appearing in his field of vision, Lin Tuo didn't answer, his figure just flickered and approached quickly.
The other party's expression changed suddenly, and he roared angrily, as if he had activated some kind of "combat skill", and his armor was covered with a layer of blue light.
That's the basic skill of the Church Knights.
"Bang!"
However, in the next second, Lin Tuo's long-standing punch suddenly struck, and the metal armor of the Church Knight suddenly twisted under this punch, making an overwhelming squeak, and the hastily unfolded blue light immediately disintegrated!
In front of the castle gate, Lin Tuo had already figured out the combat power of these knights.
The strength is indeed very strong, far beyond ordinary people, but in the face of himself who is fully exerting his fist, he is not an opponent.
"Sneer......"
With a flash of sword light, Lin Tuo cut his throat with a sword, and then saw more church powerhouses rushing over when he heard the sound, including several knights, and some magicians with thin bodies but also wearing black robes.
"Eradicate heresy!"
"Eradicate heresy!"
As the slightly turbid light unfolded, the church knights put on several layers of divine blessings and poured towards Lin Tuo, and in the hands of those divine magicians, illusory light bullets were also fired.
It's bizarre.
Lin Tuo exhaled softly, and as soon as his mind moved, the ether in his body gushed out from his pores, faintly, forming an illusory armor.
The long sword in his hand trembled, activating the cells of his whole body, and he slammed into the battle group.
……
In the monastery dungeon, deep in the dark corridors.
Inside a large cell that opens through the middle.
The ground was filled with damp cold water, which had accumulated into a puddle of water, and there was no sunlight here, not even windows, except for a fixed oil lamp fixed in the lead wall of the hallway.
In the cell, nearly a hundred scarred and unkempt wizards gathered here.
or leaning against or lying on a cold wall or floor.
Because the area of cold water is too large to dodge, some people simply soak in puddles.
This is a means for the church knights to prevent them from "meditating and cultivating" and restoring their strength, through whipping, splashing water, etc., constantly stimulating, preventing them from cultivating and even sleeping.
Captured wizards from various towns can only sleep as best they can at "exciting" intervals, so that they do not die of mental exhaustion.
However, at this moment, the "sleeping" wizards woke up one after another, looking out of the corridor blankly, and their ears were full of shouts of killing.
"What happened?" A rickety old man asked in a hoarse voice.
In the cell, some young wizards who had not been captured long ago and still had some physical strength stood up, dragged heavy cold shackles, and struggled to reach the fence and look.
"Bloody ...... Dead? Who are they fighting? ”
"Could it be that someone came to save us?" Someone has hope.
After all, in the past year, there have been some powerful wizards who have tried to break into the church and rescue their captured companions.
Yet more wizards shook their heads, not expecting anything.
There was a brief commotion, and soon, the shouts of killing, and the sound of battle disappeared.
With a loud "dang bang", the iron door at the end of the corridor opened, and then, in an eerie silence, a figure in a black cloak and holding a blood-dripping sword slowly stepped on the stagnant water and walked towards them.
"It's them!"
"Ah......h
At the sight of the black cloaks, the wizards in the cells turned pale and scattered backwards in horror, mistaking them for Templars, with only a few noticing that something was wrong.
"You're the captured wizards?"
In the shadows, Lin Tuo's figure slowly stopped, and inside the pointed hood, a face that could not be seen was revealed in the light.
"Yes...... We are...... You ......" In the cell, a young man with messy hair and bruises nodded vigilantly.
Immediately, before the second half of the sentence could be spoken, Lin Tuo waved his long sword, slashed at the chain of the cell, and opened the prison door.
His gaze swept over the inhumanoid men, women, children, and old men who were tortured in the cell, and he sighed deeply in his heart, and threw a large string of bloodstained keys to the young wizard with his other hand:
"The Templars are dead, so get out of your own accord."
After saying that, he didn't linger any longer, and under the incredulous gazes of hundreds of wizards, he turned around and walked out of the hallway.
……
When Lin Tuo stepped over the corpse and walked to the antechamber of the monastery, he saw a group of priests desperately fleeing to the door.
For these ordinary people, he didn't bother to chase and kill, thought about it, just forcibly captured a priest, and asked:
"You know where the convent's library is, right?"
The priest's body trembled like chaff as if it were sifting chaff by Lin Tuo's neck.
Facing this "demon" of unknown origin, he subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but after facing Lin Tuo's eyes that seemed to be brewing with wind and snow, he put away this dangerous thought in time:
"Know...... Know. ”
"Good." Lin Tuo smiled with satisfaction, let go of the hand that was like an iron tong, and gently patted the little priest's shoulder, "Take me there." ”
"You...... What book do you need? ”
"Spells, magic, warfare, witchcraft...... In short, there are all the books about supernatural powers. ”
……
Previously, in a conversation with the lord named Carter, Lin Tuo learned that the monasteries in major cities had libraries, which collected a lot of knowledge in addition to religious texts.
Among them, there are many texts dealing with supernatural powers.
Yes, whether it is magic, witchcraft or whatever, it can be found in the church, and the larger the monastery, the richer the collection of books.
Although Lin Tuo didn't have the energy to flip through it for the time being, it didn't delay him from collecting a batch by the way, after all, some of the spells cast by those knights and priests were indeed interesting.
The monastery in Oaktown is small, and the library is only one room.
There is only one bookshelf for books related to the transcendent.
Lin Tuo didn't dislike it, and immediately packed these books in a bag and carried them outside the monastery.
Then he switched his consciousness and slowly dropped one of his fingers over the town, struggling to throw the collected books up.
Then he moved his finger and locked his eyes on an island hidden in the depths of the sea, far from the north and south continents, and threw the book on the island for the time being.
"Put it here first, and see it later."
When he switched his consciousness back to the clone, Lin Tuo heard a sound of footsteps behind him, and turned his head to see that it was the wizards who had unshackled themselves and supported each other to regain their freedom.
They looked extremely tired, but at this moment, they all tried to cheer up and looked at Lin Tuo with gratitude, awe, and doubt.
"This lord, we ......" The team was led by the young man with messy hair, hesitating in what way to express his gratitude.
Lin Tuo raised his hand, interrupted him, thought for a while, and asked, "Who of you knows, what direction is the other church arrest teams in?" ”
There is more than one arrest team, although Lin Tuo can also directly reach the church headquarters through "teleportation".
But seeing these exhausted wizards, he realized that it was more important to save those wizards who had not yet been executed, but who could die on the way, rather than searching for answers.
In order to save the decline of the ether.
In addition, the Templars who were clearly abnormal also needed to be exterminated, and while they could also provide the ether, it was obviously more harmful to remain on earth in the long run.
As for the church...... According to the information he received, the wizards sent to the church in the last round of manhunts have been executed, and this round is still on the way.
So, you can put it back a little.
Left and right, there is no escape.
"Other capture teams......" Hearing his inquiry, the wizards looked extremely surprised, and after a short silence, one of the wizards pointed in a certain direction and said:
"Not long ago, we met another team, and we heard their conversation, saying that they were going over there, in the direction of Solan City."
"Good." Lin Tuo nodded, turned around and was about to switch consciousness and teleport away.
Suddenly, the young wizard asked excitedly, "Do you want to ......, this lord?"
Lin Tuo's body paused slightly, fell silent, and said:
"I'm going to kill someone."
After speaking, Lin Tuo's doppelganger shook slightly, jumped over, and disappeared.
