On the stone slab on the ground, a circle of Yin Hong's blood stains was constantly expanding.

The bodies of the killers were stacked on top of each other with the slaughtered civilians, with the same fear on their faces.

I don't know how these soldiers think differently from civilians at the moment of their lives.

Uncle Tim casually threw away the body he strangled to death, and Chen Yin shook off the blood stains on the sword and re-stuck it.

"Aunt Jiya, what have you been busy with lately, you can't see people all day?" Chen Yin asked.

"Come with me first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

When I followed Aunt Jiya back to the hotel, I saw backpacks, ropes, pickaxes, sapper shovels and other tools on the ground.

"What is this for?" Chen Yin strangely picked up the sapper shovel and tried it, the edge was sharp and the grip was comfortable, a very good thing.

"I don't have time to explain, help me take it and leave quickly, for these things, I spent a lot of contribution points in the dedication." Aunt Ji Ya picked up her backpack, "There is also food, there is a lot of it in the kitchen, bring more." ”

The three of them came out with a bunch of things, and saw that the little donkey had bitten the reins at some point, and was coming to the pile of corpses to gnaw vigorously.

"It's just like everything is on him." Chen Yin took the little donkey and put the messy tools on its back and tied them up.

Suddenly, Uncle Tim pricked up his ears.

"The sound of horses' hooves."

"Let's go."

As soon as the three of them walked through the intersection, they met half a team of black-armored knights.

"Slave cavalry! The people of the Pound family! ”

In the distance, the slave cavalry also saw Chen Yin and his party, and after the leading slave cavalry saw Aunt Ji Ya's outfit, he waved his long knife and ordered:

"Priesthood! Kill! ”

"Dada...... Da Da ......"

On this narrow road, the cavalry charged.

"I can't run away! Hide in a house! Uncle Tim judged.

"No, there's no need to hide." Chen Yin raised his left hand, revealing 4 flickering soul crystals.

"Summoning: Death Blooms!"

As the cards vanished in the light mist, a monstrous bush of thorns pierced the ground and burst through the ground between the stone slabs! The thick vines easily pushed through the heavy stone slabs, turning into demonic tentacles, enveloping the six slave cavalry and gradually tightening them.

When the flying stone slabs and mud and sand fall, the scene is extremely tragic.

The mutilated corpses were like minced meat that had just been squeezed out of a machine, steel, flesh, and fur twisted into a mess.

Gia and Tim ignored each other's glances and noticed the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Let's go, there's no time to waste." Chen Yin withdrew the card and continued to retreat towards the seminary.

……

"Hey."

"How?"

"Look over there."

Hearing this, Chen Yin raised his head and looked in the direction that Aunt Ji Ya was pointing.

In the clear blue sky, a thick column of smoke is slowly rising......

"Imperial capital, it's really going to be messed up." Chen Yin shook his head and sighed.

……

Indeed, the imperial capital is already in chaos.

I don't know how long the Pound family has been planning this, but their strategy is very solid.

After the old emperor took the initiative to abdicate and withdrew most of his cronies, the old Pound did not rush to start a war with the Holy Light Church that sheltered the old emperor's family, but instead besieged it, and used the slave cavalry trained by the little Pound to contain the Holy Light Church.

At the same time, all the gates of the imperial capital were taken over after the elder Pound ascended the throne.

Two knight orders, no less than 10 militia regiments and a large number of small and medium-sized mercenary regiments, led by the cronies of Old Pound, poured into the imperial capital from several city gates at the same time.

Then the bloody purge began.

While most of the men loyal to the old emperor had entered the seminary and hid under the protection of the Church of Light, the others were not so lucky.

Servants, guards, merchants who worked for the old emperor......

All but a few of those of value were slaughtered, and their homes were razed by militia groups.

The knights with the strongest combat effectiveness did not participate in the purge of the city, but captured the imperial alchemy workshop for the first time.

Unlike other places, except for a few managers who were accountable to the old emperor, the other workers were not harmed. Pound Sr. even took their families to the palace to protect them from the war.

Thanks to the elder Pound's emphasis on the alchemy workshop, the workers escaped destruction at the cost of their freedom.

In this way, in the chaos, the elder Pound gained control of the entire imperial capital.

……

Although the imperial capital is undergoing earth-shaking changes, for Chen Yin and his family, the change of regime is out of reach, and their own security is the immediate reality.

Dodging several waves of rebels, the group of three finally came to the high walls of the seminary.

Since there were still slave cavalry at the main gate, Chen Yin took a few people to the place where he often climbed over the wall. After throwing the equipment on the little donkey into the wall one by one, Chen Yin looked at the heartless little donkey and made a difficulty.

"Hey, man, you can't seem to get by." Chen Yin patted the little donkey's head.

"Lulu ......"

“…… Heartless guys, eat it. Chen Yin brought a piece of smoked bacon to the little donkey's mouth, and the guy immediately chewed happily.

"Or, I can seal it as a minion?" Chen Yin pulled out a blank 2-star minion card, "But what should I do?" ”

"Fill the card with soul crystals just like you would when you use them, and if it wants to, it will naturally be sealed in by your blank card." Aunt Ji Ya solved Chen Yin's doubts.

"That'...... Little donkey? Come on? After Chen Yin recharged, he put the blank servant card on the door of the little donkey's head.

"Boom?" The little donkey tilted his head to look at Chen Yin, and continued to lower his head to nibble on the bacon on the ground.

Chen Yin estimated the height of the wall, simply hoisted the little donkey with a rope, and transported it to the high wall with Uncle Tim. As soon as the little donkey landed, he bit off the rope and flapped his paws and fled.

It seems that this high-altitude experience scared it a lot.

The seminary is so big, it can't be lost. However, the equipment and food on the ground could only be carried by the three of them.

Chen Yin returned to his dormitory with the two of them and supplies.

Sitting on the bed, Chen Yin looked at the mess all over the floor and asked, "Don't you explain?" Aunt Jiya. ”

Jiya and Tim glanced at each other, and finally Aunt Jiya spoke: "I heard, you got the map of the Golden City?" ”

Aunt Jiya answered the question.

"How do you know?" Chen Yin frowned.

"Of course the Holy Maiden told me." Aunt Jiya smiled, "You've always been wary of the two of us, and we do have other ideas. ”

"But the reason why I didn't ask for your opinion is that I don't know your own wishes, and secondly, because you haven't grown up yet."

"Hmph, no wonder she said I would know......" Chen Yin looked at the two of them, his face darkened a little, "It seems that you are really members of the church, do you know what the use of my unknown little minion is?" Let you go to such great lengths to get close to me? ”

"I knew ......"

Aunt Ji Ya shook her head helplessly.

"Tell him, it's no secret." Uncle Tim interjected suddenly.

"Hmm." Aunt Ji Ya nodded, and then said, "You also said that you are a nobody, what is there to get close to?" It's just a coincidence that I met you, and it all started fifty years ago......"

Aunt Gia used to be a female official in the southern diocese of the Holy Light Church - which is why Aunt Giya occasionally calls herself "Mama", and she is also a quasi-legendary ice magician.

Uncle Tim also belongs to the Southern Diocese and was formerly the captain of the 6-star Paladin.

Both had great promises, but everything was changed by the Grey Mist disaster twenty years ago. Aunt Jiya and Uncle Tim both broke their soul seas, and their strength regressed significantly. If it weren't for the two of them's friend Li De, the strong hunter, who sacrificed his life to save them, they might have died in the gray fog disaster a long time ago.

used to be in the elite group, how can the two of them be willing to be ordinary now?

The two who were unwilling to be reconciled to the arrangement of fate tried their best to find a way to restore the sea of souls.

The hard work paid off, and Aunt Ji Ya discovered that there might be a way to restore the soul sea in a certain ruin in an ancient record of the Holy Light Church.

"I guess that ruins can't be the City of Gold, right?"

"That's right." Aunt Jiya nodded.

However, the two relied on the only clues, and they only tracked down Blackwood Town, and then their clues were broken.

After that, Kia, Tim, and Reed lived in Blackwood for more than forty years......

"Wait! You've lived in Blackwood for over 40 years? Chen Yin looked at the two of them who looked like they were around 50 and looked incredulous, "That gray mist disaster happened when you were 10 years old!?" ”

"Of course not." Aunt Gia shook her head, "Don't look at me like this, Tim and I are both blessed by the Light......"

"Those who are blessed by the Light, and then what? Can you become a female officer and a paladin captain at the age of 10? Chen Yin still didn't believe it.

"I was 36 years old when I became a female official in the Southern Diocese, and I received the blessing of the Holy Light in the same year."

“…… So you're ...... this year? Almost 100 years old!? How is this possible? You look like 50 ...... at most."

"Go on." Uncle Tim abruptly interrupted the two.

"There are too many records of the blessings of the Holy Light, if you don't believe it, you can look at the information to know, I'll continue first." Aunt Jiya skipped the topic and continued to talk about their past.

They were half secluded and half investigating in Blackwood Town, and they stayed for 50 years at a time.

Li De, who had not been blessed by the Holy Light, had already married, had children, and then died. In the past 50 years, the two of them have made no progress except for a source that there are still many powerful guards in the Golden City.

When Chen Yin appeared in front of the two, they realized that this young strong man actually had the potential to become a legendary powerhouse, which is why the two of them had been following Chen Yin and trying their best to cultivate him. One legend can help more than two people can give.

And a series of things that happened after that, Chen Yin was involved, so Aunt Ji Ya didn't say much, and after skipping this paragraph, she focused on what happened after she came to the imperial capital.

“…… I then used my previous connections to get a job within the Church of Light, so I could continue to investigate the Golden City as a result. But nothing went until I received the letter and the redemption points for the dedication that the Holy Maiden had left me. ”

She ...... What did you say? ”

"Precautions, the location of the Golden City, possible dangers inside, and advice on equipment purchases." Aunt Ji Ya took out a small mask from her backpack, "Who would have thought that the Lost City of Gold would actually be in the Gray Mist Forest?" ”

“…… Grey Mist Forest? ”

"It's the official name, and it's called the Forest of Death over there in Blackwood." The aunt explained.

"Forest of Death ......"

Chen Yin suddenly remembered that a long time ago, when he first came to this world, he got a description of the Death Forest from Rodriguez, and he mentioned that "over there" is completely different from "this side", and humans cannot survive in the Forest of Death.

"Without the information and support of the Holy Maiden, even if we knew where the Golden City was, we would not have been able to enter it alive." Aunt Ji Ya handed the mask in her hand to Chen Yin.

"Active particulate filter mask."

This is the information that is called out for True Sight.

"What is this?" Chen Yin didn't know what an "active particle" was.

"Without this, the gray fog alone could kill us." Aunt Ji Ya picked up another mask and put it on her head, and then a dull voice came from the mask, "A few hours after breathing directly into the gray mist, mushrooms will grow out of the chest cavity, and the whole person will festered and die in less than 1 day." ”

Listening to Aunt Jiya's description, the so-called "active particles" are probably some kind of spores, fungi and the like, and the whole person turns into a mushroom when she thinks about it...... Chen Yin shuddered.

"Here's for you." Uncle Tim, who had been silent, suddenly took out something like an iron rod and handed it to Chen Yin.

"This is!?" Chen Yin's voice was a little surprised.

This is a metal grip, steel and wood composite bow with its own arrow mount and sights, and a well-quality composite bow with foldable arms.

"That's what you talked to the blacksmiths about!?" Chen Yin suddenly felt a little moved, it turned out that Uncle Tim was working there to make this thing for him!

"Well, thanks to your thermometer."

Uncle Tim doesn't talk much, but what this guy has done is really heartwarming.

"Thank you." In addition to thanks, Chen Yin didn't know what to say.

"You're welcome."

After playing with this composite bow with excellent workmanship for a while, Chen Yin suddenly remembered a question:

"You say...... Will the Empire enter the seminary? ”

Aunt Jiya shook her head: "How is it possible?" Rounding up two people wearing priestly uniforms and directly attacking the stations of the Holy Light Church are fundamentally two different level concepts, and the latter can represent an all-out declaration of war with the Holy Light Church! I don't believe old Pound had the guts......"

"Boom!!"

Before Aunt Jiya's words fell, a huge explosion was heard in the distance.

After a few seconds, the ground trembled wildly.

"What's that!"

"Oh my God, old Pound is crazy!?"

In the sky, a huge fireball was slowly falling towards the main building of the seminary.

Before the fireball could fall, a golden shield appeared, blocking the huge fireball.

"Boom !!"

The loud explosion was followed by another shaker.
