Chapter 9: The Preparation of the Celebrant

The undead who had produced the pus of humanity were dealt with by the winged knights from the higher levels of the high wall, and the chaotic gates were quickly restored to order under the organization of the knights and guards, and the remaining undead did not appear to be mutated again, and the weak ones did not take advantage of the chaos to escape, but escaped by collapsing to the ground.

The wounded soldiers were picked up by their companions and taken to the church for treatment by the priests, while the two knights who were responsible for escorting the undead continued their interrupted work and sent them to settlements outside the city.

But this time, the citizens all distanced themselves from them with frightened eyes, and there were frequent cases like this, and the changes in the city had already made many ordinary people aware of the abnormality.

"Oh my God, they're sending all the guys who could turn into such monsters in our village at any moment?"

Graylat originally thought that the undead who would turn into living corpses in a short time were already in big trouble, but now he realized that some of these undead would turn into even more terrifying monsters.

"This is caused by your king, who is spreading a venom that causes the undead to be induced to be induced to be human."

After Zhang Lin's words fell, more white snowflakes drifted in the sky at some point, and both the knights and the citizens were very surprised, you know, except for Irusil in the distance, which has been in ice and snow, the city of Los Lik has never had this kind of weather.

Grerath looked at Zhang Lin dumbfounded, although he didn't know where the other party got the news, but there was no need for such a big man to deceive himself as a thief, "Lord King, is he crazy?" ”

"Yes, twisted minds and crazy experiments have turned your king into a monster......"

Zhang Lin is like telling a story, stimulating Greillard around him little by little.

"I can't stay here any longer, I'm going to leave with that stupid woman, to Catalina, Courland, or Karim, as for Ilushir and Onuma, I don't think they're suitable for thieves and old women." Guerrillat muttered nervously to himself as he looked at the city with a worried gaze.

Zhang Lin glanced back at Graylart, "There will be something big happening here soon, you should leave here first and protect your old mother." ”

"Huh? Won't you leave with me? ”

"I still have something to do, if you haven't left by then, I'll come to you, you'd better not run around."

"Okay, okay, then you pay attention to safety," Greila nodded, turned around and ran towards the bridge, but before he had run two steps, he stopped and shouted to Zhang Lin, "We'll see you later!" ”

Looking at Guerreratt's distant back, the strange shape of the hat made his figure look like an escaped mouse, and couldn't help but be a little funny, Zhang Lin shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the city.

From time to time, patrolling soldiers patrolled by the red-cloaked knight patrol the high walls of Lothric, and from the high walls, they could directly monitor what was happening in the lower city and the situation of the undead settlements outside the city.

The walls were not only walls used to surround the royal city, but also the residence of the knights, with armories for war equipment, towers for prisoners, and chapels for teaching knights to tell the miracles.

The priest, who was supposed to stay in the cathedral in the lower districts, was discussing important matters with the chief knight of Lothric on the high wall, accompanied only by a few nuns and knights with very different uniforms from Lothric.

"The situation in the city is getting worse and worse." The knight was propped up on the battlements with one hand, and the wind on the high wall made the bright red cloak flutter.

"Pope Shalivan of Irusil has asked the Knights of the Dark Moon to come and help us." The hoarse voice of the priest came from under the black sacrificial robes, "Those knights who made the Dark Moon Oath are better equipped with this abyssal power. ”

"But my knights and soldiers become immortal every day, and I cannot watch them being sent to burial."

The priest's voice looked tired, "Soon more Darkmoon Swords will come to the royal city, they will meet in the Dark Chapel and then rush here, we just want to do our best to control the current situation." But the root of the problem is still the spread of fire, if His Royal Highness the Prince delays any longer, no one knows if something more terrible will appear, and then the entire royal city will only be left with undead and living corpses. ”

"We have not been able to see His Majesty the King, and Prince Llorian and His Royal Highness the Second Prince have not been seen in the library." The knight's long metal gloves tore a white mark on the stone wall, and the distress and helplessness made him a little anxious.

"Maybe we need to do something more," the priest coughed heavily, "His Royal Highness will not do his duty, but we cannot sit idly by and watch the people of this city fall along with the whole city,......"

"I beg your pardon for interrupting you, Your Excellency the Chief Priest, do you want us to forcibly enter the Great Library and force His Royal Highness the Second Prince into the palace? This is undoubtedly an act of rebellion, a blasphemy of our oath and loyalty. The chief knight interrupted the priest, "Our duty is to defend the royal city!" ”

"But what else can we do?" The interrupted priest was a little annoyed, "You only need to send knights on the high wall to escort the civilians who have become undead, and I, I see more and more undead being sent out of the city through the city gates every day to become living corpses, they will pass by the church every time, those poor people who are still sane will pray loudly for protection, but I can't do anything, can you tell me, how long will Lothric hold out?" ”

The knight was dumbfounded for a moment by the words that erupted from the main priest.

The priest was silent for a moment, but then chose a compromise plan, "I will prepare with both hands, Guda, who has been named a hero, is near Lustric, and I will summon him." ”

It is likely that the princes of that generation need to pass the fire before they are trained, and at this time, those powerful beings with the name of heroes are needed to rush to Los Creek to take over the position of fire transmission as heroes in the interval between fire transmissions, and become the new salary king.

Not just anyone can be called a hero, and the person who holds the position of the salary king must have enough strength to be able to provide enough firewood to the flames, and at this time, only Guda was recognized as a hero.

"I hope we don't wait until the bell rings to wake up the terrible situation of those old payholders." The main priest's words became heavier and heavier, "You have to find a way to inform His Royal Highness the Great Prince, he will not easily abandon his responsibilities, and before Gu Da comes, open the path from the courtyard to the sacrificial ground, and carry out the fire transmission ceremony as soon as possible." ”

"Whew-"

The loud sound of a horn sounded in the dragon training ground below the large library, and it was the sound of summoning knights.

"Maybe there's a turnaround." The chief knight stared in the direction of the large library, and then looked at the main priest, "I will retire first, Your Excellency the chief priest." ”

The knights quickly marched towards the Great Library, and the priest frowned as she looked into the courtyard deep within the palace, where she felt uneasy with the snowflake-like object floating from it.
