Chapter 369: Return to the Holy City to hand over the task
Fortunately, in this hidden second main quest, the truth of the destruction of the world, the quest to kill that angel can be refused.
After Lake's refusal, the prompt from Heavens Online disappeared, but the video recorder in Lake's hand did not disappear.
After thinking about it, Lake removed the memory card from the VCR and put it in his pocket.
This memory card is kept, although I am not ready to take on the second main quest, but this record card that reveals the absorption of the life energy of this world, and I may be able to use it in the future. After all, I still have to stay in this copy world for more than forty-nine years, maybe something unexpected will happen in the future, and since I have found it, it is better to keep it than nothing.
Ryker checked the room again, there were no other useful items, and after this room was discovered, Ryker also went to other rooms to look around with his fiery eye skills, but unfortunately he didn't see this shiny special item.
"I've found something here, come here!" The voice of a male priest came from a laboratory room in front of him.
When the nearby clergy who were looking for heard this, they began to gather over, and Lake walked briskly over as well.
In an underground laboratory, the priest held a tablet-like tablet in his hand and began to show a video.
The video begins with a cube of funnel-shaped instruments at work, accompanied by a transcript of the researcher's commentary.
Under the funnel-shaped instrument, there is a large bowl, and after the instrument starts working, a faucet-like outlet under the instrument begins to flow clear water, and this water flows into the bowl.
The video then resounded with cheers from the researchers, and a researcher quickly walked over to test the water in the bowl, and the researchers in the video then announced that the first instrument that could gather air and convert it into pure water had been successfully developed, and the gathered water could be drunk directly and consumed negligible energy.
That's the end of the video.
The surrounding priests looked at this room, the same environment as the room in the video, and on the test bench in front of them, there was a small instrument in the shape of a funnel exactly like the one in the video.
"Turn on this device and test it once." The bald saint said.
A cleric carefully followed the researcher's actions in the video and pressed the next blue button on the funnel instrument.
A few minutes later, the outlet of the faucet under the funnel instrument flowed out of the water, which flowed directly into the empty bowl placed under the instrument, and after a while, half a bowl of water was gathered.
The priest stepped forward and carefully turned off the blue button of the instrument, picked up the bowl and tried to take a sip.
"It's better than the water in the Holy City!" The bold priest swallowed the water, grinned, and took another big sip.
"Go back to a group of clerics, get the crash-proof metal box from the trunk of the buggy, and put the funnel instrument in order. The rest of the personnel are ready to evacuate. The bald saint gave the order, and a smile appeared on his face, the mission had been successfully completed so far. All that remains is to return the instrument safely to the Holy City, and the clergy team they have been on this mission is a great achievement.
Soon, when the researchers in the Holy City figure out how this instrument works, the Holy City will no longer be short of water.
The bald saints believed that with this instrument that was still functioning properly, no matter how stupid the researchers in the Holy City were, they couldn't figure it out and stay away, and it was only a matter of time before the replica was made.
More than an hour later, eight motorcycles and off-road vehicles were already driving on the sandy roads of the wasteland.
The metal bumper box containing the precious funnel-like instrument was placed in the rear compartment of the off-road vehicle.
Lake sat in the back seat of the SUV, looking at the barren land outside the car window, Lake thought to himself, no wonder in the Annihilation Copy, this world is still intact and a normal world, and after only thirty years, it has become a world like global desertification. It turned out to be an injured angel from an alien who came to this world to heal.
The angels who draw the energy of this planet to heal are too much, and of course the vampire queen is not a good thing either.
In this copy world, none of the two opposing forces is righteous, and they are all evil.
But in comparison, it seems that the healing angel is more evil.
Lake smiled wryly as he looked at the priestess with a smile on her face as she drove the SUV.
The priests, still in their joy at obtaining the instrument of water from the air, did not know that their world, the holy city for which they had guarded and fought, was the source of the greatest evil.
This planet, according to the data studied by the old professor, in another hundred years, it should become a dead planet, a dead planet where no green plants can survive.
"The ignorant is happy!" Lake thought.
Although Lake has a little sympathy for the people of the Clergy, but in the face of an angel who can devour the energy of the world, and I don't know how injured he is, Lake doesn't dare to take this task rashly.
Originally, this exorcist dungeon had been secretly increased by a difficulty because he opened the vampire recruitment camp of the undead castle mansion, and if he took on this hidden mission again, the difficulty would continue to be increased, and Lake was not sure to complete this dungeon.
Lake estimated that in the end, only half of his attributes were subtracted, and he was kicked out of the dungeon.
When the time comes, when he returns to the Overworld, he will have to go to the melee battlefield in two months, and his efforts to improve his strength with a bunch of dungeons in the past few months will be in vain.
Lake didn't dare to take any risks this time.
Lake sat in the car, looking at the members of the Padres squad on motorcycles outside.
"Mourning!" Lake whispered.
Lake then rested in the back seat of the buggy.
The convoy of the Clergy was moving at full speed, and even at night, no vampire creature could catch up with them at this stage.
This time the way back to the city, as long as you don't enter other cities, it is almost absolutely safe.
At noon the next day, the convoy stopped to rest.
The ten members of the squad gathered in front of a campfire to warm themselves and eat.
"Thanks to Venerable Priest No. 2 for this mission!" The bald saint in a black trench coat took the lead in giving Lake a compliment.
Lake accepted it.
From now on, all the members of this team have officially accepted the addition of Venerable Priest No. 2, and regard Venerable Priest No. 2 as a member of their team that can live and die together.
After all, in this mission, the performance of the Second Venerable Priest was too good, whether it was the ability to detect, the combat effectiveness, or the final act of risking his life and attracting the vampire group alone, all the priests present, even the bald saints, were admired.
The bald saint also sighed secretly that the church had really assigned him a right-hand man and team member this time.
The only pity was that the bald saint looked at the dark red cross imprint on Venerable No. 2's head.
The bald saint knew that it was painted by Venerable No. 2 himself.
Now the Second Venerable can only be a reserve priest in the true sense of the word.
But it doesn't hurt that the rules of the clergy clearly stipulate that reservist clergy are treated the same as orthodox clergy.
"After you rest, drive on your own Wang Holy City, I have some personal matters to see, don't wait for me, I will then speed up with a motorcycle, I can catch up with you." The bald saint said.
The only female priest in the team, after hearing the words of the bald saint, her face, which was still smiling, became a little ugly.
The other male clergy didn't react in any way.
They all know that the eldest is going to see his ex-wife and daughter.
These male priests, who have been with the Bald Saint Boss for many years in this squad, know that the Boss Bald Saint has a former home on the edge of the wasteland, where he has a daughter and ex-wife.
At the end of each mission, passing by there, the eldest bald saint took the time to take a look for himself.
Lake looked at the female priestess's expression, and after listening to the bald saint's words, he also thought about what the bald saint said about private matters.
Before the bald saint came, he talked to him and said that his daughter was going to get married recently.
"Can you lend me a powerbike, I've been sitting in the car for too long and want to go for a ride. I want to wander with the saints. Lake said.
Hearing Lake's words, the other priests around the bonfire did not squeak first, they had no problem borrowing Lake's power motorcycle, after all, Lake's performance in this mission was equivalent to allowing the whole team to survive safely, and the contribution was very huge, and everyone had accepted him as an official member of the team.
But before borrowing it, you have to see if the bald saint boss agrees to take Ryker with him.
"It's inconvenient to take you there!" The bald saint looked at Lake with some embarrassment.
"Take me there, and if there's anything there in the future that you can't leave, I can go and see it for you." You've seen my strength, so it should be no problem to protect people. And there are many people to accompany you, and it is more lively. Lake said.
The bald saint hesitated, but nodded and agreed to the request of the second venerable priest.
After the bald saint boss nodded in agreement, it became much easier to borrow a powered motorcycle.
A priest named Good and Evil, who uses knives as weapons, lends the powerbike to Lake, and he prepares to sit in the back seat of the buggy.
Lake politely stepped into the clergyman's motorcycle.
A few minutes later, two motorcycles, first drove away from the rest point of the Priest team and drove quickly on the sand.
Lake also wears the goggles on the motorcycle, this power motorcycle is driving at full speed, and he does not wear goggles to protect his eyes for a long time, even if Lake has such a high-end attribute, he feels unbearable.
The two motorcycles drove at full speed for the day, and the next morning, they arrived at a small wooden house near the edge of the moor.
After Lake and the Bald Saint parked the power-powered motorcycle outside the wooden square, the Bald Saint couldn't wait to get out of the car.
"Boom!" The bald saint stood in front of the wooden door and knocked on it with his hands raised.
Lake followed.
Soon the door opened, and when a young man opened the door, he looked at two priests dressed in black with dark red crosses on their heads standing outside the door, and then the young man's face showed a look of vigilance.
Lake found that the people outside the Holy City were still a little afraid of these priests, and they were not like the people in the Holy City, most of whom loved the priests.
"Your Excellency, what are you doing here, there are no vampires or heretics here." The young man said cautiously, blocking the door.
"Who!" A female voice came, and soon a girl wearing a gray dress and long brown hair walked over.
"Dad, you're here, didn't I say, don't come to me if you're fine, I'm doing well, it's inconvenient for you to come!" The girl said.
The bald saint smiled on his face, "I heard that you are married, I came to the wedding!" ”
"The wedding ended three days ago, this is my husband, and when you come to attend, I don't think I will be able to get married for the rest of my life." The girl said to the bald saint.
"What about your mother, is she there?" The bald saint asked.
"Let's go, my mother left this sad place after I got married, went to another city, and asked me to tell you, don't look for her again, she has forgotten you." The girl said.
"Where have you been?" The bald saint asked.
"I don't know, even I didn't tell you, since you're here, just come in and sit for a while, anyway, you won't be able to sit for long before you leave." This time I came with a person, there is progress, didn't I come alone before! The girl said to the bald saint.
Lake could also tell that this daughter was not very friendly to his father, the bald saint.
Lake is estimated to be a bald saint back then, abandoning their mother and daughter to inject the holy liquid.
"It's my father-in-law, come in and sit down, that, I really didn't know I had a priest's father-in-law." The young man said, and quickly invited the bald saint and Lake into the house.
The bald saint dropped the package he was carrying, which contained a large bag full of compressed biscuits and bread, as well as several large bottles of mineral water.
Lake sat down at the table and watched the newlyweds.
"This is my teammate, his name is Venerable No. 2, if you have any problems, you can come to the Holy City to find me or find him. Any trouble can be solved for you. The bald saint said domineeringly. Of course, the bald saint, as the leader of the clergy who commands thousands of people, has this strength.
"Isn't it just the identity of a priest, what a god!" The bald saint's daughter said.
Lake looked at the situation, and it seemed that the daughter of the bald saint did not know that her father was a priest, but he was the eldest brother of all priests.
Lake looked at the girl with a smile, fortunately it wasn't his daughter, if it was his daughter's attitude, he would have slapped him a long time ago. Of course, I don't have a daughter, and I don't know that I have a daughter, so I am reluctant to fight.
This is a family affair of the bald saints, and Lake is inconvenient to handle, so he will recognize the door this time.
"The priest is very powerful, you take me to your kitchen tank, and I will do a magic trick for you." Lake whispered to the young man.
The bald saint looked at Lake with a grateful look, he just wanted to talk to his daughter, and this son-in-law had something he couldn't say in the past.
The girl nodded to her husband as well.
Lake got up and followed the young man to the kitchen in the back room of his house, and came to a large water tank, which was not much water, less than a fifth, and was covered by a large wooden cover.
And the water in this tank is still a little muddy.
"Is it easy for you to get this water?" Lake asked the youth.
"How can it be easy, you have to walk a long way to get a well in the town, and you have to line up to get water, and the water that comes back has a lot of sand and dust, which has been precipitated." The young man said.
"Don't get too excited, don't scream, it's time to witness the miracle!" Lake said with a smile and took out the Seagod Trident demiartifact, and the golden fish-scale armor covered Ryker's body.
"Poseidon's Wrath Controls the Water!" Lake immediately activated the skill of the Seagod Trident, a demigod artifact, the tip of the trident, pointed to the water, the not very clean dirty water in the vat, with the dust and the like inside, flew out of the vat, and then the water flowed in front of the young man and flew out of the window, "Boom! "Sprinkled in the yard.
At first, the young man was quite curious, but when he saw that the priest called Venerable No. 2 had sprinkled all the water into the courtyard, he was in a hurry, and it was too late to reach out to stop it.
If he hadn't known that he couldn't beat the priest, the young man would have wanted to do it.
Lake met the bald saint's son-in-law for the first time, and knew that the joke should not be too big.
Ryker immediately used the Poseidon Trident Water Control Skill again, and the tip of the Poseidon Trident pointed at the large empty water tank.
The Poseidon Trident is like turning into a high-pressure water jet gun, and the clear water flow of "Bang Bang Bang" sprays out from the tip of the Trident and quickly pours it into the large water tank, filling the large water tank in a few seconds.
Lake raised his hand, continued to control the water, filled all the containers that could hold water in this back kitchen, and held the Poseidon Trident, Lake was of full use this time, pointed to the dry well behind the small wooden house, and Lake took back the Poseidon Trident.
"You, is this true! You are God! The young man reached out and picked up the water in the water tank, put it to his mouth and drank it, and found that it was unusually sweet, and he looked at the No. 2 Venerable Priest in front of him in disbelief.
"It's not God, by the way, if you have a daughter in the future, you can consider calling Lucy the name, I think it's a good name." Lake said with a wicked laugh.
"Okay, I'll tell my wife the good news! We have water, so we don't have to go to a long distance every day to queue up to fetch water and filter it again and again. The young man said.
"When we're gone, tell her it's not too late, there's good news, you need to calm down. The dry well behind the yard of the house, I also filled it with water for you, save some for your own use, it should be no problem to use it for a few years, you can divide it if you want, you husband and wife are free. Lake said.
After hearing this, the young man wanted to go outside to take a look, but seeing that the second Venerable priest was in front of him, it was too rude for the young man to think about going to see it immediately, so he could only endure it.
"If you have any difficulties, remember to come to the Holy City to find me, my name is Venerable No. 2, you can find a priest and inquire, you should be able to know where I live." Lake said confidently.
Lake is preparing this time, and after returning to the Holy City, he will improve his status in the clergy, so that he can call on and command as many priests as possible in the future mission to kill the vampire queen, even if he can't become the first leader of the clergy, he can become the second-in-command.
"Let's go to the back of the yard, just in time for you to look at the well in your house. By the way, you must remember that the next time we come, you must not tell your father-in-law, and don't let your wife mention it. Lake said.
The young man nodded.
Lake then chatted casually with the young man, who in front of him always looked out the window and couldn't listen to him.
Rex simply showed him the well water, so that he could feel at ease, otherwise he felt that his neck was easily twisted.
A few minutes later, Lake stood by the well with the young man, who almost knelt down and offered Lake as a god.
In this world, there has been a shortage of water for more than 20 years, and in a well like now, the clear well water is almost at the well, which is definitely a miracle.
Lake looked at the young man's reaction, and did not expect that water was more precious to the people of this world than he thought.
Lake wondered if he could easily attract a large number of believers by wandering around the human gathering place outside the Holy City.
But Lake then gave up, and it was useless to recruit believers, and the vampires in this world were not something ordinary people could fight.
The only people who have the strength to fight the vampires now are the clergy of the Holy City, which represents justice.
If you want to complete the main quest and kill the vampire queen, you still have to develop your strength in the clergy.
Of course, you have to be careful, this kind of water well comes out of it, it's okay to do it occasionally, if you do too much, it's easy to provoke the injured alien angel creature hiding under the Holy City, once it attracts his attention, it is likely that an enemy who may be more difficult to deal with than the vampire queen will come out.
Lake was in the courtyard, chatting casually with the young man, and after more than ten minutes, the door of the wooden hut opened, and the bald saint came out, but his daughter did not come out to see him, but just watched from the window.
"Let's go, Venerable No. 2!" The bald saint said to Lake, in a good tone.
Lake looked at the bald saint's face, which was also much better than before, and it was estimated that the bald saint had a good time chatting with his daughter.
Lake also got on his own powerbike.
The two powerbikes started quickly and drove into the distance.
Seeing the motorcycle of Venerable Priest No. 2 walking away, the young man hurriedly ran into the house and said to his wife: "Come out quickly, see the miracle, our father-in-law has brought a god this time!" ”
Lake and the bald saint drove the motorcycle, but fortunately they came to the cabin to stay, which was not too far away from the normal route of the original clergy team back to the holy city, and the power bike accelerated every once in a while, and the next morning, they caught up with the clergy team.
Lake was tired, he didn't have the system of bald saints and priests who infused holy liquid, and he could continue to drive a motorcycle for days without resting.
The convoy stopped for a while, and Lake and the priest who had borrowed his motorcycle changed places, and Lake continued to lie down in the back seat of the SUV, and the priest drove back to his motorcycle.
After a few days of travel, there were no more accidents.
Eight powered motorcycles, sheltering an off-road vehicle, arrived under several large stone figure statues and began to rest, and tomorrow they could return to the Holy City.
Lake came down, borrowed a bow and arrows, and finally shot another bird for everyone, and stewed a pot of bird soup for the team to satisfy their hunger.
After the Lake's attribute value came up, the range of archery also became much longer, and with the auxiliary aiming of the fiery eye skill, it was also equivalent to the existence of a sharpshooter.
This time, after Lake waited for the soup to be cooked, he first put two bird wings into his bowl and then held up some soup. The last time I ate bird thigh meat, Lake felt that the meat was not delicious, and I guess the wings could be better.
"Why don't you use a bow and arrow as a weapon?" The bald saint sat next to Lake and asked, this time no one was grabbing a bird's leg from him, the bald saint had a big bird's leg and a bowl full of soup in his bowl.
"I haven't had a chance to find a powerful bow, so I can only choose a melee weapon. Actually, I had a chance to get a golden bow before, but the woman there was too fierce, and the bow didn't like me very much. Lake said with a smile.
"Then when you return to the Holy City, our team can get a lot of points for this mission, and the points you get are enough to build a perfect exclusive bow and arrow for you." The bald saint said to Lake.
Lake shook his head, "No, you can't use this weapon, I want that kind of spiritual artifact, it's a legendary artifact." ”
"You're asking too much!" The bald saint said with a smile, just as the second Venerable in front of him was joking.
The next day, during the day, the team successfully arrived in the Holy City, and after Lake parked his car, the bald saint took a few priests to hand in the mission, but Lake did not choose to follow.
It's already in the Holy City, and it's strange if there can be an accident again, so Lake chooses to go back to his residence to rest.
Lying in the back seat of the SUV for the past few days, Lake has a sore back and needs to go back to his flat bed for a good night's sleep and take a cool shower first.
After the bald saints handed over the mission items, they directly gave their clergy a holiday, and for the last week, they did not report to the training ground at the back of the church.
Lake woke up at night, thinking about the coordinates of the alien angel and the information card left by the old professor.
Lake still didn't resist the temptation in the end, and was ready to use his fiery eye skills to probe the coordinates provided before the video to see what the angel was like, Lake hadn't seen the female angel yet.
"I only use the fiery eye perspective ability, and if I don't probe his strength, he shouldn't be able to find out about my existence." Lake comforted himself.
However, instead of probing in his room, Lake went downstairs to the street in the distance and activated his Eyesight skill.
According to the coordinates recorded in the video, Lake looked at each other and looked at it tentatively.
The coordinates are below the church in the center of the Holy City, and after trying the Piercing Skill of the Burning Eye Skill, I really saw that below the church, there is a passage leading to the underground from the prayer room, deep underground, in a large secret room, there is an oval barrel-shaped glass jar, and the glass jar is filled with blue liquid.
An angel with an upper body and half a wing, and the feathers of his wings were about to fall off, was soaking in liquid.
If it weren't for the fact that he knew from the video and the mission that the angelic creature was alive, Lake would have thought it was an angel specimen.
Lake glanced at it, and quickly withdrew his gaze.
"He's a ball, it's a male angel, bad reviews, why don't you have a female angel, why isn't it a female angel!" Lake sighed.
Fortunately, seeing that this angel is still seriously injured, although I don't know how strong this angel was before, but only half of his body and half of his hairless wings are left, and Lake's worries have been reduced before, it is estimated that this angel has some secret method to absorb energy, and the strength is like this, it will not be too strong.
Lake thought that as long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke the seriously injured angel, it was estimated that the male angel would not be idle to provoke him.
Lake is ready to save up the kill value of the Hulk's transformation, and once this male angel really troubles him one day, he will transform into the Hulk and fight him desperately.
In the Golden Army copy world of the big red son before, Lake turned into the Hulk and killed an undead angel hard, although the angel of this copy world may be at a higher level than that, but he has been injured in this bear-like state, and Lake can sleep in the Holy City with peace of mind.
