The secluded church sits at the exit of the valley, and the massive walls divide the forest from the area on the other side that belongs to the cold valley.

This church is not only a bridge between Lothric and the Cold Valley, but also a gateway to the place.

Zhang Lin and Hezel had barely reached the outermost façade when they saw soldiers stationed in the church, carrying spears and large crossbows diagonally on their backs, followed by tall hounds patrolling the stairs at the doorway.

There are some commemorative stone monuments scattered in the wall, some believers who have traveled a long way to this place kneel on their legs around some stone towers, some raise their hands and continue to make pilgrimage movements, and some have their eyes slightly closed, their hands folded, and their mouths are chanting, and the movements are varied, and the church even ignores them.

The size of the secluded church is huge, and it is a city in any sparsely populated world, and after passing through the outer walls, there are more people inside, there are knights from different countries who are fully armed, there are travelers who are dressed in rags and may encounter many dangers on the way, and there are saints from Karim who wear nun robes.

However, the most important thing is that the believers, clergy and soldiers belong to the secluded church, and there are several Templars wearing black heavy armor near the gate, they are taller than the average soldier, the huge shield in their hands can almost cover the whole person, and the giant hammer in the right hand seems to be able to easily smash through the thick walls, just from these elite knights can see the power of the secluded church.

Zhang Lin found a clergyman who was wiping the statue with a red cloth, and the other party's bare head made Zhang Lin notice the other party at once.

"Hello, we have something to find the three archbishops."

"Archbishop MacDonald and Archbishop Louis have been performing ceremonies in the temple in the church for the past few days, and it is inconvenient to see anyone," the bald priest blew the dust under the statue, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Lin and Hezel, "Every day people want to see the archbishop, are the bishops so free, you wait, it is estimated that they will have time in a few days." ”

"I was entrusted by the Priest of Elo Ric Ima, and I have an important letter that needs to be handed over to the archbishop, and the matter cannot be delayed," Zhang Lin deliberately accentuated his tone, "You should have heard the bell ringing too, it has something to do with the fire transmission." ”

"Oh, the news from Lothric seems to be very important, but I still can't answer you, what the Bishop is doing is also important," the bald priest did not change anything because of what Zhang Lin emphasized, "I will arrange a place for you to live in the church, and wait." ”

"Is Aldridge waking up?" Zhang Lin asked suddenly.

Hearing this, the priest's face changed, and he stared at Zhang Lin with a serious face, "I don't know where you heard the rumors, but here, don't talk about this name." ”

"What about Archbishop Climt, my father asked me to come to him." Hezel leaned forward and asked.

"Archbishop Klimt left the church yesterday with some knights, I don't know when I will come back, you all have to wait." With that, the priest walked into the chapel in front of him without looking back.

Most of the time, ordinary believers and travelers from outside the country can only visit this small church, and cannot enter the interior of the secluded church. However, although it is a small church, there are long wooden benches arranged in a neat row, and a red carpet extends from the front idol to the door, and a large number of candles are lit under the idol to varying degrees, which is similar to the prayer candles in Christianity, and each lit candle symbolizes the fire of a person's soul.

Some of the faithful were sitting on long wooden chairs, reading the canon in their hands, or meditating with their eyes closed, while some travelers and knights were talking about something by the walls of the church, as if discussing the matter of hiring and ensuring the safety of the journey.

The classroom leading the way led the way to a well by the church door, from which several men in hats resembling the ones of Graylat were hunched over to carry buckets of water from the well.

"These people are slaves, they have committed crimes such as theft, and the mercy of the church only punishes them for their labor here to atone for their sins, but some of them still can't control their hands, so you can dispose of slaves who dare to offend."

"Also, there's the church's necropolis over there, so it's best not to approach it casually." The priest then pointed farther to the iron-fenced area.

Zhang Lin nodded, indicating that he understood, and the priest did not say anything more when he saw this, and continued to lead the way.

The chapel has a door on the left and right, the left one is closed, and the right one is open, but a Templar pestle is guarding the door to prevent outsiders from entering. There were bald priests with them, and they were not hindered.

The right door of the chapel leads to a corridor outside the church, with a distant view through the tall fence, but soon the priest leads them into a room with an elevator that will lead them into the interior of the church.

Unlike the outer churches, the interior of the chapel is more elaborate, with religious statues and frescoes everywhere, but the inside of the church is much cleaner than the noisy outside world, and the occasional believer and priest walk by mostly in a whispered voice.

When you come to the spacious outer ring corridor, you can see at a glance that in the corner of the hall comparable to the stadium, there are two giants seven or eight meters tall sitting on the left and right, their bodies are covered with moss, their hands and feet are chained by thick iron chains, their faces are covered with iron helmets, and several knights carry weapons to guard the two.

Most of these ancient giants are also regarded as servants or slaves because of their mental deficiencies and empty powers, and powerful beings like the giant king Yum with both wisdom and strength are a minority after all.

At this time, in the corner of the church sat some tall and slender knights, their fine silver armor and the transparent white veil on the edge of the armor looked quite beautiful, it was the knights from Ilusir, it seemed that they had come to the secluded church.

After several circles in the complicated corridors, Zhang Lin and Hezel were finally taken by the bald priest to a townroom specially used to receive foreign guests, and after dropping a sentence of your own arrangement, the priest turned and left.

"Okay, the people we're looking for won't be seen now, and I've decided to wander around the church, what about you?" Hezel looked at Zhang Lin and asked if he was with him.

"No, there's nothing to do here." Zhang Lin shook his head and rejected Hazel's invitation.

"It's boring, then we'll see you later." As he spoke, Hezel walked down the corridor with the uniquely shaped pickaxe.

Zhang Lin sat down on the bench in the corridor, thinking that what the two archbishops were doing now must have something to do with the Eldridge sealed in the coffin in the depths of the church, wondering if he had sneaked in to take a look, but it was a bit troublesome to find such a large place.
