Volume 1 The First Things to Do When Entering the Adventurer's Guild Chapter 12 Rest
After the battle ended with Yass Langley's victory, the saint walked out of the church with the knight's body in her arms, but her face was not filled with joy of victory, but with sadness.
What Yass Langley experienced in her heart, no one can say. In just a few minutes of fighting, her mood changed from anger to compassion.
Why anger? Is it because of hatred of evil or because of disrespectful self-esteem?
Why compassion, is it because of the loss of life or in the face of the parting of the faithful?
Yass Langley knew the answer, but she didn't want to admit it.
The elf who took off her hood was very beautiful, and the sadness on her face made her even more graceful. The people outside the church had faced the battle with the mentality of watching the play, but now with the death of the knight, the nature of the battle has changed, and it is neither possible to congratulate nor blame.
Depp looked at the appearance of the saint and said, "Well done." ”
Yass Langley glanced up at him, then at the two children, "Children, can you go to the church for me and bring his sword and shield?"
The boys said yes and entered the church.
"You—" Yass Langley looked at her two companions again, "Would you like to accompany me to the cemetery?" The elf's sad face still looked so beautiful.
Her request was impossible to refuse, and Hopler did not speak, he turned and walked to the left side of the church.
Yass Langley and Depp followed him, and then the necromancer took out a pamphlet from his clothes, "Do you need it?" and he shook it in front of the saint
"Why would a necromancer carry a textbook from the Church of the Word?" "Yass Langley was surprised to see what Depp was doing.
"A friend sent it. "The necromancer's reason is very perfunctory" I didn't expect it to be used. ”
At this time, the young man in the back also caught up, Rhodes with the knight's broken shield, and Lot dragged his sword.
Yass Langley knew that Depp was not telling the truth but did not continue to ask, everyone walked for a while, and finally came to the back of the church, which is the cemetery of the church.
Hopler walked into the side cabin and quickly found a shovel.
"I'm sorry for you," Yass Langley looked at the soldier gratefully, "Obviously you can't bury your comrades, but for my request..."
"A warrior never needs a grave," Hopler hammered his left chest, "They're all here!" he picked up a shovel and scooped up the dirt next to the right side of a cemetery, "I know burial is important for priests, and I hope the creed of a warrior doesn't offend you, saint." ”
"How so. The saint bowed to him with gratitude, "Thank you, Hopler. ”
"If you want to thank me, when it's over, ask Modryla for her bar for me?" Hopler laughed
In an optimistic atmosphere, the saint also felt a little: "Modryla's wine, maybe I can't get it, but if it's the holy water of the church, I want as much as I want." ”
"That's better for Depp," Hopler laughed, although the warrior was forcibly joking, but with the cooperation of the Holy Maiden, the original tense atmosphere did ease a little.
Depp on one side did not participate in their conversation, he carefully examined the surrounding graves, and finally came to a conclusion that "these graves... It could be new..."Depp turned his head to look at the saint, "Can you allow me to offend them, saint?"
The saint nodded, "If it was just an investigation, I think they would understand." ”
Agreed, Depp put his hand into one of the graves, he injected his magic into it to investigate, although it would be more intuitive to directly resurrect the corpse and let them crawl out on their own, but after all, the saint was present, and he didn't want to go too far, so he used a slightly more troublesome method to investigate" Sure enough, it was a relatively new corpse, the body was seriously damaged, and it was broken into two, and according to the wound, it was split in one move. "Depp has investigated several graves in a row, and the situation is the same.
"I guess it's the original people of this church. The holy woman speculated: "The knights sorted out their bodies and buried them." As she spoke, she looked down at the knight in her hand
"Perhaps, it's strange that he's been controlled by the fog, but he's still doing the things of the priesthood. Depp also looked at the knight who had closed his eyes, "And the cause of their deaths is the same, could he have killed him?"
The Holy Maiden could not answer his question, and there was no one alive here who could answer this question at this moment" He wandered around the church, guarded the church, and even cleaned the courtyard" The Holy Maiden sighed "Perhaps the clergy are controlled a little less than the others, and although they still attack us, they affect his behavior at the very least. ”
No matter what the conjecture is or what the conclusion is, everything is impossible to know with the death of the knight, but no matter what the truth is, it will not affect the current situation, so Depp did not pursue it, he got back on his feet and stepped aside.
The warrior dug the grave at the end, the knight's body was buried, and the saint finished her prayer with the necromancer's textbook. The whole process made the two teenagers very uncomfortable, but they could only obediently watch from the sidelines, and after finally erecting the tombstone, the group returned to the sanctuary.
Walking into the sanctuary again, it was already in a mess from the fight just now.
The saint looked around the church, recalling the battle just now, and her expression sank into sadness again: "God the Father is above, anger has lost me. She muttered to herself, finally fixing her gaze on the wall behind the podium, "Strange, what about the Sword of Oath?"
"We're gone when we come in. Depp thought for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken." ”
"It's just a decorative iron sword, a ceremonial sword, how can anyone take it, and the knight can't use him..." Yass Langley didn't figure it out, and then the saint began to tidy up the messy church in order to answer this doubt, almost paranoid, everyone was also helpless, they couldn't watch her work alone, so they could only follow her to clean the whole church again, the podium was lifted, and the chairs were re-arranged, so it took most of the day, but still didn't find the sword of the oath, and finally Yass Langley could only give up, she stood alone in front of the podium in a daze.
"Can the water mirror in this pulpit be connected to the outside?" Depp pointed to the podium that was raised, there was a mirror in the middle of the podium, the mirror was in a basin of water, the podium was just knocked down, and the water did not spill out, it should be the effect of the Holy Word.
"Although it is true that the churches are connected by infusing the holy power into the water mirror, I just tried, but it doesn't work. Yass Langli shook her head, this level of contact should have been cut off by the enchantment.
After that, everyone sat in chairs, three adults sat in the front row, and two teenagers sat in the back row. When they were working, they didn't feel anything because of their mental concentration, but once they stopped, the teenagers suddenly felt a strong sense of hunger and fatigue, and after everyone fell into a short silence for a break, Rod raised his hand, "That..."
"What's wrong?" happened to be sitting on the outside of the chair, and the Saint looked back to see Rod's small hand, she took it, and squatted down beside him with an elegant turn.
The face of the saint who took off her hood was so beautiful that the young man was even more fascinated by the way he looked at the elf, and he didn't know how to speak
"Why don't you speak, Rod?" the Saint touched Rod's cheek with her hand
A hint of coldness spread throughout his body, and Rod shivered
"Hungry, is it?" the saint knew what he thought
The boy nodded
"Got it," the saint said, standing up, "everyone should be hungry too."
The two big men glanced at each other, "It seems that it has indeed been a long time, and the body should replenish some energy." Depp said frankly, "But is there anything you can eat safely in this enchantment?"
"Churches usually store some dry food, which should be in the basement, and after being purified in the Holy Land for so long, it should be ready to eat. Yass Langley thought for a moment, "Hopler, can you bring them up with me?"
The warrior agreed, of course, and he followed the saint out of the sanctuary and towards the back of the church.
Only Depp and the two teenagers were left in the church.
"That's... Mr. Depp, do you know Yass Langley very well?" In the quiet sanctuary, Lot looked at the black-robed necromancer, he wondered why the necromancer knew so much about Yass Langley's fighting style in the previous battle, and now seemed to be a good opportunity to ask questions.
"I've been working with her for five or six years, and we've had several fights, so how could I not know her, I remember the first fight just after we met. Depp couldn't help but giggle as he recalled the old days.
"Who won?" asked Rod as he leaned over with interest, leaning on the back of the chair in the front row
"Of course it's her. Depp was honest, "After all, it's 'sixth', but I was at least better than that knight at the time." ”
"Have you ever been in such a crisis before?" asked Lot
"Don't worry, we'll get you out. Don't think about it. Depp giggled again, maybe he wanted to be light-hearted, but the laughter sounded really oozing, "By the way, I suggest you don't bother Yalts Langley for now." ”
"Huh, what?" Rod didn't understand
"I can see that she has experienced so many mood swings, and although she is trying very hard to adjust herself, it is still clear that your Holy Maiden's mood is still unstable. Don't upset her. ”
After that, the teenagers asked a lot about Depp and the saint's past adventures, and as they were talking, Depp sensed that there was an aura approaching in front of him, "Okay, they are here, you can remember the words just now, don't say it." ”
The teenagers nodded, and Rhodes hurriedly retreated to sit down, and after a while, Hopler and Yass Langley, who were carrying the boxes, returned.
The warrior brought back a box of food, enough for everyone to eat, and Yass Langli carried two cans of water.
"It's all holy water, necromancer. Yass Langley smiled at him
"Come on," Depp said in a relaxed tone, and everyone began to eat as happily as possible, the food stored in the church was very similar to biscuits, but it was larger and hard, not a good thing, but enough to fill the stomach.
Depp still just touched the food and said it was okay. Hopler and the two teenagers were very aggressive in eating, nibbling on the food and pouring water into their mouths, while Yass Langley ate very elegantly, breaking off a small piece of food and putting it in her mouth and chewing it before drinking saliva.
The six of them had eaten half a box of food and drank two jars of water, and after they had eaten their fill, the teenagers sat down on their chairs to rest. And the three adults were also sitting on chairs.
Depp glanced at the gate worriedly, "Will we be attacked here?"
Yass Langley listened, so she went to the door of the church and closed the door
"What do you mean?" Depp didn't understand the meaning of the saint's approach
"Don't worry about the people in the mist, the fog here has been dispelled, they don't know the situation here, and even if they do, they can't enter the barrier I have set up. Yass Langley snapped her fingers as a layer of golden light began to stretch out from beneath her feet, then filled the entire church before the light faded.
"Looks like you're not going to go on?" Depp understood Yass Langley's intentions.
"Yes," the saint nodded, "We've been fighting for so long, we're already tired, and the next enemies are very strong, I think it's better for everyone to take a break." The saint walked back to Depp and patted him on the shoulder, "With me, what are you worried about?"
"I still think sleep is dangerous," the necromancer was very stubborn
"Don't worry, I'm here to keep everyone safe, elves are different from humans, I can move for a longer time. Yass Langley put her hand on Depp's shoulder as she spoke, "Is there anything else to worry about?" At this time, the smile on Yass Langley's face reminded Depp of the knight who had just been buried.
In the end, with unanimous agreement, everyone decided to sleep first before continuing to explore.
The church has dormitories and is divided into two parts, the south side for the clergy to rest and the north side for the adopted homeless people. Yass Langli is very familiar with the structure of the church, she led everyone to the south dormitory to find a few beds, the teenagers saw the bed and couldn't walk directly, climbed into bed and slept, and after a while they heard the sound of snoring, for them this adventure was undoubtedly too reluctant and too hard.
Hopler and Depp were also immediately caught up in bed by Yass Langley, and after everyone obediently lay down, the saint took a chair alone, and she sat at the door of the dormitory looking at the garden in front of the court and began to be in a daze.
The white roses in the garden bloomed beautifully, and it was fascinating to look at it from a distance, and Yass Langli looked at it and let out a long breath.
"Is it a violation of doctrine to hide from your companions when you know something, saint?" Depp took a chair and sat down beside her
"You should get some rest, necromancer. The saint looked at him impatiently
"Just trick Hopler into it. Depp leaned back in his chair, he looked up at the roof, and the black hood fell out, "It's not that you don't know that necromancers don't need this kind of rest, it's just a habit." Under the black hood, Depp has a pale face, but the face of an ordinary man is not special.
"Don't bother me if you don't sleep?" The saint didn't seem to bother him, she always admired the view of the courtyard.
"You are transgressing the doctrine, and you will be punished by God. The necromancer raised his hand and touched the saint's arm
"Why should I be reminded of the doctrine by you, don't misinterpret it. The saint bowed her head and put her hood on
But on the backhand, Depp ripped off the hood again, "What time is it now, the next thing may be a life-and-death showdown, we have no chance of winning in the face of Cam, what else can't you say?" His voice was a little eager, and he was a little anxious in the face of Yass Langley's attitude
The saint frowned, she turned her head to look at the necromancer, she raised her left hand, and the holy spear instantly appeared in her hand, she held the spear and stabbed it into the necromancer's throat
But the necromancer held the holy spear in time, and where he was holding it, a black substance began to spread, Yass Langley let go of his hand, and the holy spear disappeared again.
Yass Langley turned her head away from him again
"I've fought with you... Five times... The time I was able to taint the Holy Spear with the Embrace of Darkness was after you saw my true body, and you were scared, and this time I....were you scared? What do you know?"
Depp is smart, and he can understand all the hints given to him by the saint, but Yass Langli herself is obviously nervous, and she unconsciously holds the chair handle, "It was useless to tell you about it, but if you are so annoying, just tell you, the knight said something to me before he died." ”
"It seems that he said what is that existence behind the scenes?" Depp was also nervous when he was infected by Yass Langley's appearance
"No... He wouldn't say. The saint closed her eyes, she didn't dare to look back at Depp, and continued to herself, "He just said that knowing the identity of that thing, I will definitely 'shatter my faith'"
For a while, Depp was also a little confused, and he didn't know what to say because of the unexpected situation, knowing that the situation that can make the believers 'shatter their faith' can only occur when they face what they believe in, and the things that the priesthood believes in...
"Don't tell me, that's really the father..."Depp was afraid to say that answer, did his own nonsense at first come true?
"No," Yass Langley shook her head, "It's not just the Father God who can shatter my faith, the knight said that the existence is indeed evil, how can the Father be evil." ”
"Then what else would you be afraid of, what else would break your faith, Holy Maiden?" the necromancer asked
"The missing teacher, the vicar, myself?" Yass Langley shook her head, many people and things flashed in her head, but she felt that it was impossible, but if it was really impossible, how could she be 'broken' "I don't know. In the face of such a situation, the more devout people will be hit harder, and Yass Langley is extremely firm in her beliefs, which has become a breeding ground for birth fear.
"Are you scared because you don't know" Depp put his hand on Yass Langley's hand "Everyone will be afraid, it's not a big deal, Yass Langley"
"Yes" Yass Langli took Depp's hand casually and turned it around, turning his hand completely around, and she could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking, and then she let go.
"I'm comforting you, Yass Langley" Depp wanted to scream in pain, but he was afraid of waking up the person on the bed, so he could only grit his teeth and pull his hand back.
"Only the dying man can allow me to touch me like this. Yass Langley squinted at him
"Haven't I counted yet?" Depp turned his hand around, and his hand returned
"Depp, I can only leave it all to you in the face of that existence. Yass Langley became serious again, "If you can't handle it, we'll go back to church." ”
"Retreat plan?" Depp smiled subtly
"It's not like my style, is it? Yass Langli understood in her heart, she smiled awkwardly, she had never planned this kind of thing before, "In the face of that existence, I can't think of what it will be no matter how I think about it, so it's better to have a backup plan." ”
Depp suddenly took Yass Langley's hand and stood up, "Let's go to the garden to have a look, stay here, and we can't notify them in time if we encounter an attack." ”
Yass Langley didn't want to go, but Depp dragged her out, and in order not to wake up the sleeping people, she could only obediently comply.
When the two of them left the room, Hoppler on the bed turned over and opened his eyes, he stretched out his right hand to look, these were a pair of thick big hands, holding the big axe for many years had already made many marks on his surface, this was the pride of the warrior "Hoyle is on top, I hope you can help us defeat him, otherwise..." he turned his head to look at the sleeping children and sighed.
"What the hell do you want to do?" Yass Langley, who was pulled by Depp to the courtyard, called out, at first she thought that Depp would let go when she got to the courtyard, but Depp just pulled her forward, and finally she couldn't help but shake him off.
"That's pretty much it. Depp showed Yass Langley the surroundings "It's in this garden." ”
"What do you want to do?" the saint couldn't figure out what the necromancer was up to.
"The flowers are beautiful. The necromancer pointed to the flowers and showed them to the saint.
"yes," Yass Langley nodded, "maybe thanks to the Misty Knight's care." ”
The town church occupies a large area, and there is a special garden in the courtyard planted with white roses, and some flowers have some nameplates with the names of some people on the front, which should have been claimed by the rich people of the town. White roses will be used in the baptism and burial of the church, which is the sacred flower of the Church of the Word, so the church will generally plant some, and they will be picked and used in the ceremony, and the flowers behind the nameplate are bought by the rich people for special purposes.
The white roses were still strong blooming in this mist-filled barrier, and it seemed that the mists had almost no effect on them, but the daily management care was still needed, so it must have been the knights who had taken care of them. At this time, there was still some dew on the flowers, and Yass Langli's breath blew the petals, and the holy white petals trembled slightly, and the dew dripped a few from the gaps in the petals, hitting her green leaves and splashing a few smaller droplets.
When the saint was admiring the flowers, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and Yasz Lanli suddenly looked up, only to see some black fluids appear on Depp's hands, and these black fluids exuded an obvious black magic aura. He leaned over and dripped the fluid onto a white rose
"Stop" Yass Langli stretched out her hand, and several holy spears stabbed at Depp, a purple mist circled around the necromancer, and the holy spear turned black when it touched the mist, and fell to the ground and shattered into ashes
"This is the sacred flower of the church, and I won't allow you to do that!" Yass Langley tried to remind him, "If you want to find your test subject, there are many outside the church." ”
"Then what if I insist on wanting these flowers?" Several balls of light appeared in front of Depp and smashed into the flower bed, and Yass Langli hurriedly opened an enchantment to block him
"You're messing with me, Depp the ghost. "The saint's face was very unpleasant
"Try to stop me from looking, Yass Langley of the Church of the Word. "There are more balls of light in front of Depp
"From the Secret Word Church, you will soon regret provoking the Word!"
