0031 The Road to the Sanctuary VI
Accepting this escort mission, Cen Mu must understand his opponent in order to maximize the chances of the mission's success, and with this excuse, Cen Mu extracted some useful information from Teresa's mouth.
The five cities of the Sacred Realm have their own policies, among which there are four cities that have made their relationship between opposites, Xuanwu City and Gothic City have a long-standing feud, and the Occult Moon City and Dragon Soul City have also been fighting each other, and only Monteil City has always maintained an independent and impartial position, away from the whirlpool of Sanctuary strife.
Teresa belongs to a diocese that belongs to the Xuanwu Sanctuary, and she has been trained as a saint by her master since she was a child, until this year, when she turned eighteen, she participated in the election ceremony of the new saint of the church as a saint woman.
Generally speaking, to participate in the selection ceremony, you only need to rush to the Holy City within the specified time, and it is not necessary to take the "Path of the Holy Son", but if you want to obtain the qualification to be promoted to the Privy Council and become the "Fengze Holy Maiden" with real power among the dozens of holy women, you must complete this path of penance.
Teresa, as one of the most potential representatives of the Xuanwu Sanctuary, she has no choice, she will inevitably be robbed and killed from the Gothic Sanctuary, and in the same way, the saintess of the Gothic Sanctuary will also have the same fate.
The competition within the church is so fierce, the undercurrent is turbulent, and the internal friction is not stopped.
Paradoxically, the road was dangerous, and Teresa's escort team had to reveal their location to the outside world as a way to show their trajectory and prove that they had always adhered to their principles and walked on the path of the Son.
It turned out to be a civil war, no wonder Fili and Zu Jin know each other, it's really cruel, they are born from the same root, why are they in a hurry!
In this way, if Teresa falls into the hands of the Gothic Sanctuary, the ending may be miserable, these ruthless gods have a lot of research on how to torture women, and have a set of strategies from psychology to body, that is, stone girls, they can also make a crack.
Extending along these topics, Cen Mu learned that the regular garrison of the church is about 300,000, including nearly 15,000 Holy Peak Knights, more than 7,000 Holy Peak Crusaders, Holy Blade Knights and Crusaders are scattered in the five holy areas, controlled by several giants of the Cardinals, after the Pope decentralizes the control of the Crusaders, he re-organizes a 'Temple Guard' with no more than 20 people, which is the top combat power of the Holy Blade Church, in the words of Teacher Teresa, this group of people stands on the top of the world.
This data is known only to the upper echelons of the Holy Church, and the vast majority of priests, even bishops in remote areas, do not necessarily have access to accurate data.
After learning these data, Cen Mu realized the gap between him and the Holy Edge Church, he originally thought that the Holy Edge Crusaders would be his most troublesome opponent, but now it seems that their threat is going down a level, and this so-called "Temple Guard" is the most difficult hurdle for Cen Mu to cross.
Then, Cen Mu learned that the Church's more than 300,000 troops were scattered over millions of square kilometers of land, and the number of troops was not enough, so that the Holy Church gradually relaxed the restrictions on the formation of private armies in major cities, so as to alleviate the pressure of insufficient garrison forces.
At present, the situation of the church is not optimistic, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as internal and external troubles:
Cape Salon is eyeing the other side of the Sogo Strait, and the daily fighting between the two sides is becoming more and more frequent, and Blue Harbor has always refused to make the promise of allies, silently selling arms sales, and it is not known if they also have a deal with Cape Salen.
At the same time, the inner part of the jurisdiction was full of decay, accumulated defects and weaknesses, and heretical incidents occurred one after another, both overtly and covertly, dragging down a large number of church garrisons.
Many people in the church have called for a campaign to rectify corruption in order to save themselves, but, as Cen Mu said, the root cause of the problem in the system cannot be solved by simply launching two rectification campaigns, which requires the decision-making level to have a sufficiently broad vision, the decisiveness of a strong man to break his wrist, and the wisdom of foresight.
As an insider, Teresa is helpless, she has no power to change the church's capital.
When these news were confirmed one by one, Cen Mu was in a happy mood, and he continued to chat with Teresa quietly.
Teresa was also in a hurry to go to the hospital, half-jokingly saying that if she had a chance to enter the Privy Council, she could recommend Cen Mu to the top and hire him as a pioneer general to rectify the atmosphere.
Cen Mu said with a smile, he can't change anything, and now in this situation, even if he is the pope, it is difficult to come up with a good solution.
Taking advantage of the dark night, Cen Mu carried Teresa on his back to shuttle through the wilderness, fast and fast, chatting while running, but he didn't feel tired......
Half an hour after they left, a team of men in black arrived at the scene and saw the fire still warm and the mess of flesh and bones on the ground.
The man in black at the head couldn't help but scold: "Damn! A bunch of garbage!! A group of people can't chase a man with a woman on his back! ”
The rest of the men in black were silent and didn't refute, but they just wondered in their hearts if this waste was the boss who scolded him too.
The man beside him squatted down, uncovered the mask, picked up the bones on the ground, looked at them carefully, sniffed them again, and said: "It's the bones of the wolverine, fresh, should be hunted from the surrounding area, the whole thing is cleaned up, and counting the cooking time, it will take at least nearly an hour, what does this mean?" ”
Another person analyzed: "It shows that his physical strength is very full and he does not need to rest; It shows that he is very relaxed and does not take us seriously at all; It also shows that his estimate of our physical fitness is very accurate and confident. ”
This is nothing short of a blatant provocation! At this moment, the broken bones all over the ground were so unsightly, it was like laughing at a group of them.
The more the man in black thought about it, the more angry he became, and he suddenly raised his foot and stepped into the fire, and the dark red charcoal fire was crushed, and in the night wind, it blew brightly, and sparks splashed everywhere.
Click! A soft sound, so clear in the dark night, that a thunderbolt flashed in my mind! Those who had fought on the battlefield were extremely familiar with this voice, and their bodies were about to subconsciously react, but it was too late, and the crowd let out a terrified cry before dying, which was quickly drowned out by a louder sound.
It is a press-haired mine, Catherine's masterpiece.
Rumble!
A little bright spot burst out on the dark earth, and the roar of thunder was faintly heard, and the night wind whirled, tearing apart the waves of explosions that spread in all directions, and the night of the wasteland soon returned to calm......
More than ten kilometers away, Cen Mu stopped.
Teresa asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"You want to step on it yourself, you can't blame me." Cen Mu seemed to be talking to himself, smiled, and said to the people behind him: "You don't have to run tonight, you can almost rest." ”
Teresa had no doubts about his decision.
Cen Mu found a hidden place, lit a bonfire, and the two began to rest by the fire, Teresa soon fell asleep again, her physique was more average, and even inferior to the younger mustard seed.
However, Cen Mu admired one of her advantages: she was able to sleep unscrupulously in front of a stranger three times and twice in the background of being chased and killed by the enemy, which required a big heart.
After she fell asleep, Cen Mu simply left the fire, found a dark corner, took out the black clothes that had been torn off, and groped carefully.
Through shimmer vision, Cen Mu can distinguish the skin material of this black clothes, its surface is smooth and tough, the tentacles have a subtle greasy feeling, there is no liquid, and it will not stain the hands, the texture is natural, and you can also touch one or two natural scars, there is no doubt that it should be the skin of some special creature, this creature is also peculiar, the skin is black, thin like a layer of kraft paper, tough and abnormal, without a trace of hair.
"Dean Qin, let's take a closer look and see if we can see if this is something?"
"Absorbing those divine energies, I've raised a little level, I hope it can do a little bit?"
After speaking, Qin Yuan directly began to move.
A wisp of white slickness fell onto the black garment, and then, it split two, two into four, and four into eight......
In the end, the whole black dress was surrounded by pale white fluorescence, as if a layer of fireflies was adsorbed, alternating light and dark.
It took a long time for Qin Yuan to retract his divine power.
He muttered, "I am afraid that this thing has an extraordinary origin, it is part of some powerful creature, maybe its skin, and it may come from another world, from its skin, I perceive a dark energy that cannot be described, with the rules I currently know, I cannot measure its strength or weakness, let alone estimate its number." ”
"So what are its characteristics? Or what does it do? ”
Qin Yuan replied: "Most of the attributes of dark energy are related to chaos, it has the characteristics of chaos, violence, corrosion, and tolerance, and the special technique released by Fili today should be the first layer of its attribute 'chaos', confusing the rules of the day and confusing people's perception. ”
Cen Mu asked, "Then how do you drive it?" ”
"I don't know about that, you're going to have to figure it out yourself, put it on, or use a drop of blood or something, if you think about it, Fili can't have a strange way."
Cen Mu thought about it, took out the dagger, cut his fingers, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dripped it on it.
Then, his eyes widened at the black garment, and he didn't seem to react, just as he felt like he might fail.
Cen Mu found that the blood droplets melted little by little, seeping into the black clothes, and the small area where the blood was adsorbed revealed a trace of dark red, in the field of infrared perception, it emitted a faint red light, which was slightly hotter than other parts by about one degree, and it was impossible for a drop of blood to produce such a temperature difference! Something must have happened!!
Cen Mu was greatly encouraged, he cut a few fingers of his left hand hard, and the bones were deeply visible, and then he clenched his fist hard, and the blood was squeezed out, converging into a trace of blood......
Sure enough, the vision happened, the black clothes were like a greedy life, and the blood that dripped down was like dripping into an absorbent sponge, falling down, and then dissolving.
Cen Mu found that a layer of dark red veins appeared on the black clothes, and the parts that were soaked in blood were clear and slightly red, while the parts that were not moistened by blood could only faintly show a faint connection.
According to the current blood squeezed out by Cen Mu, if he wants to light up the entire vein of the black clothes, I am afraid that he will have to squander nearly half of the blood, counting this, Cen Mu can't help but have a faint doubt.
What the hell is it? Why so bloodthirsty?
