Chapter 60: The Cathedral of Destruction

The fishy smell of the sea breeze blew on Chen Li's face, the waves hit the hull of the boat, the sea surface was not very calm, the boat was a little bumpy, Chen Li and the two soldiers had been adrift at sea for about 2 days.

Thankfully, the weather has always looked good, there are no storms, and the ancient Romans mostly relied on the stars to find their way, and if there were dark clouds, they could get lost in the waters.

As the boat passed through a broken island, the owner breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the sparse crowd that began to appear around him: "We have reached the Aegean Sea. ”

Athens is located at the junction of the Peloponnese and the Balkans, and they have just crossed the Peloponnese, turned a big bend, and will soon reach Athens.

Chen Li was fed up with the smell of fish and the humid air, his hair was now stained with dewdrops, and his whole body was wet, and he really needed to roast it next to the dry fire.

When the soft light of the moon illuminated a huge building with a cross in the distance, Chen Li knew that he had arrived in Athens.

The horses couldn't be brought on board, so Chen Li entrusted the horses to the inn before getting on the boat, well, probably Chen Li wouldn't go back, so they had to go on foot.

Chen Li and two soldiers walked on the street, at this time it was just night, with the help of the light of torches, there were still some people on the street, Chen Li hurried away, while looking at this historic city.

Rome originally came from a city-state, and after a long period of defending against foreign enemies, the Romans took pleasure in the war and embarked on the path of aggression and expansion.

These guys, who were originally full of muscles and women, came to Athens after conquering one region after another.

They never imagined that the luxury of life could reach such a level, and the Romans were completely captivated by the noble and elegant life of ancient Greece, and they imitated almost everything in Athens and learned from him. Therefore, the atmosphere of luxury also slowly spread among the upper echelons of Rome, and they gradually went to depravity.

It's a glorious and magnificent city, full of beautiful stone carvings everywhere, and there are several buildings that are as majestic as the cathedral alone, and Chen Li guesses that the capital of Rome is no more than that.

Just when Chen Li was indulging in Greek culture, a little fire suddenly flashed in the cathedral in the distance, and then the fire quickly surrounded the church.

"Not good! We're fast! Chen Li cursed, he didn't expect that there were still the people of the ancestors here, and their power was really pervasive.

By the time Chen Li and the two soldiers arrived at the door of the cathedral, the fire had burned almost everywhere in the cathedral.

"You're waiting for me here!" , Chen Li decided to take a risk, he wanted to rely on his 538 points of health to go in and take a look at the situation.

Kicking open the tattered front door, Chen Li rushed into the most central auditorium, the scorching breath came to his face, the thin oxygen and the products after combustion made Chen Li's breathing a little short, his health was bleeding at a rate of -2 per second, Chen Li couldn't stay too long.

A vampire elder lifted a man in a white bishop's robe, and underneath the cross, like a judgment, gray flesh thorns grabbed him by the neck with a "poof" and began to suck the blood.

How could Chen Li let this vampire succeed, his left fist swung back, and the invisible energy converged on it, blasting out a punch from a distance of more than ten meters.

The power of the fist carrying the two souls was incredibly powerful, and the maximum damage of more than 300 points hit the vampire elder's body, and even the stone wall behind him pierced through it, killing him with one blow.

Chen Li ran to the archbishop who fell to the ground, picked him up and ran, the beam above the cathedral had begun to fall off, and his life would be in danger if he stayed here.

"Boom", a huge beam that was burned off smashed in front of Chen Li, Chen Li hugged the archbishop, went all the way, and finally left the church that was about to be destroyed.

Chen Li let go of the archbishop, and the church behind him finally failed to resist fate, and fell in a ruin, and some people had already rushed over with water.

"Can you still speak? Archbishop, I was sent by General Paitus, and this is his letter. Chen Li was a little anxious, in case he hadn't said anything yet, the archbishop would go to see his God, so what about his mission?

"I don't need to look at it..... I recognize the sign on this letter", the archbishop was not seriously injured, the main problem was the inhalation of a lot of toxic gases.

"Take this cross and go to the Holy City of Jerusalem to find Bishop Vitos there, and he will tell you what to do with those vampires." , the archbishop took out a silver cross from his chest and handed it to Chen Li.

"Your main quest has been updated to move on to the next stage."

"Please go to Holy City: Jerusalem and get a way to defeat the vampire from Bishop Vitos"

The archbishop took out a vial with a crystal liquid from his body and bowed down to the fallen cross: "Lord, my body has been defiled, I have lost the qualification to preach the gospel for you, please let me return to heaven with glory. ”

He opened the bottle and drank the liquid as if in worship, and then the whole person began to smoke, and it turned into a cloud of ashes, just like the church in front of him.

Seeing all this, Chen Li did not stop him, and Chen Li did not have any position or reason to stop the archbishop's behavior, he had been infected by vampires and would eventually die.

"You two go back and report to the commander, and I'll be ready for the rest of the journey." , It's not that Chen Li underestimated these two soldiers, from Athens to Jerusalem, Chen Li no longer had the money to pay for the boat, he had to go to Jerusalem by land, which was almost equivalent to going around in a big circle, there was not much time in the first place, if you brought these two horseless cavalry, it would be looking for death.

To put it bluntly, Chen Li now claims to travel hundreds of miles a day without any problems, and taking the land route may not be slower than taking a boat. As for the location? In this era, anyone who believes in Christianity knows it.

Armed with a silver cross and an envelope, Chen Li set out on his way to the Holy City.

………

In the gloomy basement, several sleeping ancestors were a little uneasy, and their mood was impatient as could be seen from their writhing bodies and swaying heads, they had failed again, and Chen Li had saved the archbishop, and there was no doubt that he had obtained the key to the Holy City.

Silent conversation took place in the basement, where vast spiritual powers began to communicate.

"We have one last chance, to gather our men, let those men take our elite, and we will take the water route and stop him at Patila."

After discussion, several Ancestors unanimously agreed on this method, and Fallen Light could be used not only against Blood Ancestors, but also against them.

If it weren't for the fact that it would cost a lot to enter the deep sleep again, the ancestors would have to go down in person and hunt down Chen Li. Now, they can only trust their hopes to the battle-hardened warriors they have cultivated and the emissaries sent by hell.

At this time, those "messengers sent from hell" in the mouth of the ancestors were blaming each other.

"Hongjun, Odin and Hera, the three of them are estimated to be dead."

"I haven't come back yet, I don't need to estimate, I must be dead." , the man in the cyan cloak feels a little tricky.

"Humph! This guy is dead, dare to provoke the people of our temple of gods! It was a black man who spoke, well, because the black man's god system was almost none, so his code name in the Temple of the Gods was "Nidhogg", which was also very similar in a sense.

The temple of gods is a union-like thing spontaneously organized by the contractors of the space, and by using a code name that contains some kind of same meaning, to gain a sense of identity, this identity can cross borders and racial restrictions, and within the guild, the contractors can let down their guard a little and exchange information and resources with each other more smoothly. Most of the main members are the contractors who entered the space secondly, numbered after 50 and before 500.

The first of the Temple of the Gods, who was rumored to be codenamed "Zeus", was very powerful and was one of the first contractors to enter the space.

Of course, such organizations are not only the Temple of the Gods, but also include the "Star Palace", the "League of Assassins" and so on, all of which were formed by the contractors to fight against the state apparatus.

"If Zeus wasn't here, what round would get that kid arrogant!" "Nidhogg" is a grumpy, and if anyone dares to stare at his skin for more than 5s, he will definitely smash that person's head.

"Come on, I think this guy is also a contractor of the first echelon, and it's hard to say who will lose and who will win when Zeus comes." , "Hongjun" is obviously not as brainless as "Nidhogg", he knows that he is also a second-echelon contractor, and "Odin" is already very strong, and it is impossible for a contractor who is also a second-echelon contractor to be killed so easily.

Suddenly, they stopped talking, listening intently for something.

After more than ten seconds, they looked at each other's faces.

"You've all been told?" , "Hongjun"'s face is very ugly, the more people, although the greater the strength, but on the other hand, it also shows the strength of the other party.

Looking at the dozen or so contractors around him, all nodded, and the little white face of "Hongjun" was already as black as the bottom of the pot: "What kind of monster are we going to deal with......

………

Chen Li bypassed the Peloponnese Peninsula and came to the territory of a "husky" country in reality, which was occupied by the Romans decades ago, and the people who originally lived here had fully accepted the living habits of the Romans and regarded themselves as Romans.

Hearing Chen Li say that he was a centurion, the person who showed him the way was very enthusiastic, and gave him a little money for the journey, Chen Li left here, took out a marching ration from the space, and began to climb over the endless mountains in front of him.
