Chapter 543: Shadow of Death

The people of the church would join this war, which was actually expected by Xiao Lan.

Hundreds of years after the appearance of Jesus, the Roman Empire that persecuted the Son split into two and one of them has been destroyed, and Christianity has spread to all corners of the European continent, and the pantheon, which was originally the inheritance of Greece and includes the gods of Britain and Norse, has been toppled as paganism.

And even across the Channel, in Britain, the old gods of old age were gradually being covered with the splendor of the heavenly dwelling, and even in distant Ireland, a land that had never been controlled by the Roman Empire, was soon feeling the power of Christianity. However, converting to Christianity does not completely mean abandoning the Celtic heritage, perhaps because it is too far away from the center of the church, the Celts were influenced by the Roman Empire to officially accept Christianity, they still worship their own gods and goddesses, remember the ancient gods and heroes, just like Arthur, they all claim to believe in God, but in essence, they have no sense of belonging to the Roman Orthodoxy on the mainland, and they are also a bunch of existences that can be listed as heretics.

In addition, this power, perhaps from the Old Gods, also influenced the Christian monks who came to Britain to devote themselves to documenting the ancient Celtic legends, even if it was a manifest heresy, and even the crosses used were changed to Celtic crosses with a ring connected to the central cross, and thus planted the seeds of the later split into English Protestantism and Roman Catholicism.

In any case, Britain is a place where God's glory shines, so since there is a serious accident here that could endanger the whole world. The Roman Orthodox Church is obliged to send enough strength to fight against the Necromantic King, and that's exactly what they did.

The series of movies in the world of "Ghost Street 7" "Book of Dead 2: The Age of Heroes" describes the plot after Xiao Lan leaves, and the knights, including Flora, lead their subordinates to run around to stop the undead spirit from spreading their instincts. The focus is on the experience and growth of the female knight as the protagonist in this process, one of the big scenes is that a group of paladins and priests from Rome appeared on the scene at a critical moment, and solved an almost fatal siege encountered by the heroine, and then the arrogant servants did not directly unite with Arthur and them, but planned to rush into the land of the dead to solve the so-called "doomsday crisis", and the result was, of course, a nail was hit. After encountering the mythical hero who came out of the center, he fled back in embarrassment. Cú Chulainn, the son of light of Ireland, threw his own spear that was bound to hit the heart from more than ten kilometers away, and the cardinal who led the team was completely lucky to be killed by the gods, and it took a lot of effort to purify the curse that caused the unhealable wound. Since then, he has put away his arrogance and does not dare to continue to venture alone, although he did not ask for help in a low voice, but he also maintained contact with Arthur, and the current situation has basically changed like this.

-- But what about the Nordic people?

If it's a Christian with Nordic characteristics. Then it can be understood as a sortie following the orders of the Roman Orthodox Church. But Merlin did say the words "warrior of Odin".

Britain, on the other side of the Channel, bordering the land and continent of the Germanic peoples of Northern Europe, in a desolate and harsh natural environment, the courage of the brave personality, the fearless adventurous spirit and the courage to face death made them brave and good at war, and even defeated and destroyed the mighty Roman Empire, but under contact with the Roman Empire and the assimilation of Christianity through contact, the Germanic gods were almost completely forgotten by the Germanic peoples who sank into the glory of God, Most of the writings on Norse mythology were considered heretical and burned, and Odin's followers were left with little left in less than half a century. How could they, in principle, come to Britain and help Arthur, who was also a Germanic Saxon, to exterminate him?

Xiao Lan definitely felt the doubt. So he asked the question straightforwardly, and Merlin, who heard the rumor, quickly understood the question, but he didn't explain it directly.

"Go inside, the various forces of the alliance will update their information before the war, and you can get the answers you want in the meeting that will be held."

After hearing this, Xiao Lan's first reaction was that the old guy was selling off again, but he immediately realized that the prophet had no need to do this, so the only situation could only be...... Too complicated?

I can't say a few words clearly, so I want to sit down and say it in detail?

(It doesn't seem like it's going to be good news...... )

With a long sigh in his heart, he left a group of royal guards who were too strong to enter the castle and trample the floor, so that Kira returned to the state of dreaming and shuttled to follow him, and then took Flora and Pandora, the warm-looking "mother and daughter", to follow Arthur and them, who walked into the castle first, and sat at the legendary round table with the assistance of the good old man Knight Geraint, Xiao Lan happened to sit in the special seat facing Arthur, And Pandora and Flora sat on the left and right, and then the rest of the knights also sat down one after another, and Queen of Calamity, Gnavier, sat next to Arthur, but next to him was the perfect knight Lancelot, which was really hard to say, and it was definitely not suitable to talk about it at this time.

-- So, the meeting begins.

After a group of people were seated, everyone sat in place very seriously, even a few knights who looked a little rough also put away their small movements, and then Xiao Lan saw Merlin, the only one who was not seated, raised the staff in his hand, accompanied by a chant that should be elven, and there was a wave of magic fluctuations on the round table in front of them that were not strong but absolutely extremely exquisite, and countless tiny water droplets revealed the smooth stone tabletop, converging into a silver fluid that slowly spread on the round table, When the water covering the entire round table calmed down, the puddle of water became a mirror, a pot of stars.

Then Merlin, who had cast the spell, breathed a sigh of relief, and after pausing his cane, he read softly.

"Draumrkópa."

Xiao Lan understood the last syllable he sang, and immediately understood the true effect of this spell.

In an instant, as if someone had blown out a candle, all the starlight was extinguished, and the water suddenly turned black. But after a while, an oval-shaped patch of light appeared in the middle of the mirror, like a new mirror, reflecting everyone around it, and then ...... It also reflects people from other places.

In general, few mages can perform divination on people and places they have not seen, but this magical clairvoyant mirror from the elves transmits the scene around them to anyone who contacts the mirror. The same caster can also visualize themselves and their surroundings on a clairie mirror, allowing two strangers to communicate from anywhere in the world thousands of miles apart, a spell that can be very useful in times of war.

It's the time of war, and Merlin, as an archmage, can do more than just two people.

The mirror turned into a mirror on the surface of the water rippled after the end of the incantation, and a few rippled figures slowly appeared in it, and then I saw the figures in these mirrors tremble, miraculously "reflected" from the mirror to reality, and the scattered hazy mist converged into several shadows at a speed visible to the naked eye, only a few seconds were just a few mirror images that had no sense of substance but the rest were no different from real people, and there were many wizards or priests in robes, There were also quite a few warriors or knights wearing armor and holding weapons, and these people were also unceremoniously seated at the empty seat of the round table as soon as they appeared, and one of them saluted Merlin before sitting down, "Gui'an, archmage...... It's finally time for you to convene an all-hands meeting at this level. ”

It was a very thin old man, and the cheeks met on the chin with a very flat amplitude, forming a very narrow face, which made the originally small eyes on it seem very suitable. There is a layer of dark bags under the eyes, and it looks like it has not rested for a long time. He was dressed in a pure white satin robe, with a cross embroidered in white gold silk on his chest and a cross set with precious stones on a crown on his head.

And under the aura of his outfit, the rest of the room became solemn and solemn, but after the ensuing conversation, no one could continue to remain calm.

"Stop messing around, this isn't your cathedral, Cardinal." The other tall warrior with a double axe on his back and a Norse style at a glance looked unkind, and he didn't mind breaking this sacred solemnity at all, "The sea around Britain has been occupied by the undead, and a large number of ghost ships floating from the bottom of the sea have blocked the entire sea area, unless they can fly, neither you nor we can continue to provide reinforcements, and now everyone on the island is fighting alone and there is no way out." ”

"In addition, it has been several days since the undead landed on our shores, and although we have prepared to meet them, they have not been completely blocked, and several ancient heroes' tombs have been destroyed, and although we have rushed over to make amends, there is no guarantee that any Heroic Spirits have been resurrected by the King of the Necromancy...... The only good news is that they have not yet reached the Aegean Sea, and we are not yet going to be hostile to the heroes of Greece. ”

No one minded his impolite tone, because as he spoke, a wizard beside the warrior stretched out his hand and sprinkled a wave of light, and with a soft chant, a burst of mist rippled on the water mirror in front of him, condensing into a high-tech hologram-like three-dimensional map, clearly depicting the undead activities in the waters around Britain with a green ghostly light, and everyone clearly saw a cruel fact-

As this Norse warrior who was not accustomed to the style of the church said, Britain has been completely surrounded by necromancy from the sea, and the shadow of death has spread to the Nordic region, and there is a clear tendency to spread to the surrounding areas, especially the Aegean Sea!
