Chapter 210: The Road to Judgment

Princess Hazel led Liu Ci and the others through the picturesque Monastery of the Holy Port to an inconspicuous old wall. The bracelet on Hazel's wrist flashed white, and the dilapidated wall was stripped of its mottled skin, revealing a half-moon arch.

The old priest Veblen looked surprised, apparently he had never known that there was a secret hidden here when he was studying at the monastery.

"Let's go inside." Hazel looked around at everyone's expressions and added, "The place we are going to is a forbidden place for the Holy See, and all magic is not allowed, I hope you are mentally prepared." ”

After she finished speaking, she stepped into the arch first.

Priest Moses approached, Liu Ci was the penultimate one, and the last to enter the door was the old priest Veblen.

Heaven and earth in the half-moon arch, how to say it, Liu Ci thought that the forbidden territory of the Holy See should be more sacred than the Holy Land Port City, in fact, there was only a dark passage that appeared in front of several people.

Reminiscent of the Harbour Santa Monastery situated halfway up the mountain, this passage is clearly in the middle of the mountain.

It didn't seem to be her first time coming, for she took a bronze lamp from the wall and blew it lightly, and the candlelight, which was slightly stronger than the fluorescent light, brightened the dark passageway.

With Liu Ci's eyesight, she had already taken in the appearance of the passage, but the passage extended infinitely into the belly of the mountain, and Hazel's warning was still in her ears, and she didn't dare to scan the scene ahead with her divine sense.

"Hiss......"

When the bronze lamp came on, Marquis Stlev, who was the weakest of all the people present, couldn't help but gasp.

The dark passages, all paved with precious obsidian polish, including the ground they trampled underfoot. Obsidian is the main material used to build the Mage Tower, and it is the most sensitive to the various magical elements of all the magic mines, and even space mages can't do without it. Too much reliance has naturally led to over-mining, and the Luminous Continent's obsidian has long been in short supply, and after many mage towers have disappeared or collapsed one after another, it is even more difficult to find obsidian.

Such a precious magic ore is just the most common building material here.

Like pearls covered in dust, they were not used to depict magic arrays.

Of course, it was not only the extravagance of the Holy See's deep pockets that made the Marquis gasp. The walls of the obsidian passage are densely covered with murals painted with red glaze.

Demons from the abyss, judgments of the Holy See, heretics burned to death, and dark mages with their heads cut off by the Knight of Light...... The black background is the lining, and the murals painted with red glaze are particularly dazzling, and the solemn and solemn murals seem to be able to shoot straight into the depths of people's hearts!

A person with an open heart, such as the old priest Veblen, faces the content of the mural with respect, and his heart is a windless lake, without waves.

Or like Liu Ci, she has God in her heart, but she does not believe in the God of Light, and she does not have much reverence for the Holy See, she is resolute in her mind and firm in her faith, and the mural cannot shake her thoughts, making her show a panic and repentant expression.

The priestess Bertha told the secret in her heart, and she was only slightly uneasy in the face of the mural, although she felt guilty, but also relaxed.

Priest Moses and Hazel walked in the front, Liu Ci could not see their expressions, of course, both of them may not be the first time to come, relatively speaking, they were the least affected by the mural.

The one who hit hardest was the Marquis of Stleif, who was the weakest of all the men, and who had done all the bad things that probably amounted to the height of the walls of the Rhine, and after a soft call, he lowered his head and stared at his toes, not daring to look at the mural again.

Liu Ci was most interested in Edward Wren's reaction. After doing such cruel things to his lover with his own hands, what effect did the scene in front of him have?

Before she could get a glimpse of Edward Wren's expression, the priest of Moses, who had been quite silent since Princess Hezel appeared, spoke: "The road in front of you, leading to the forbidden land of the Holy See, is the "road of judgment" that has been blessed by successive popes and high priests! All heretics and blasphemers cannot hide from the path of judgment, and it can awaken the dark side of everyone's heart, and it can glimpse the crimes committed by everyone...... Any means of concealment will be ineffective in the face of the road of judgment. So, whoever can walk the road of judgment safely, under the witness of God, you are innocent! ”

When the priest of Moses finished speaking, Liu Ci coughed twice: "What will happen to the guilty man on the road of judgment, Lord Priest?" ”

The priest of Moses was silent, and Princess Hézel smiled coldly: "The guilty one...... Of course, you can't finish the road of judgment! She pointed to the bloody murals around her, "Do you think it's a mural?" No, the place where these stories take place is precisely on the path of judgment. The souls of the most wicked people who cannot return to the arms of God after death will be trapped in this path forever, and the scenes of the past will be recreated in the form of murals to warn those who come after them......"

Princess Hazel's voice didn't fluctuate much, but it brought more pressure to the strange one, and as she described, the expressions of the characters in the mural became more vivid, and their pain became more and more vivid, as if they were about to break free from the frescoes at any moment, reach out from the obsidian wall, and hold on to all the latecomers who were about to take the path of judgment, and drag them into the abyss of pain that cannot be reincarnated!

"No matter how small the crime, is it the same result? Priest, I hope you will remember that I am an insignificant little man, and as the lord of the Rhine, I dare not say that I have never done anything contrary to conscience and doctrine in my life in order to protect my people. But the road of judgment in front of him ......" Marquis Strave plucked up the courage to speak, cold sweat dripping down his cheeks, the power of the road of judgment made him no longer able to maintain his personable image of truth, goodness and beauty, in order to refuse, even did not hesitate to open his mouth to depreciate himself.

The marquis's self-analysis was exchanged for the sneer of Princess Hézel:

"Ignorance! Do you think anyone is qualified to walk this path of judgment? ”

She said, looking at Edward Wren, who had been silent, "Uncle Edward, His Majesty the Pope is willing to believe in your innocence, and Häzel is also confident that you will pass through safely. ”

Princess Hézel looked at Edward's gaze, it was the admiration of the young man for his elders, the full trust was self-evident, but Liu Ci, who was watching from the sidelines, heard the black line on his forehead - let Edward Wren take the road of judgment, if this is the Pope's proposal, then Edward's future in the Holy See may really come to an end; If it is Hazel's proposal, this woman is either scheming and superb in acting, or she is a pig teammate who seems to be smart and is really dragging her feet!

Edward Wren may have unknown cover-up methods, but if these methods are still valid in the face of the "path of judgment" blessed by successive popes and high priests, it is not impossible for him to directly ascend to the throne as pope with his strength. Liu Ci secretly discussed, thinking that Edward Wren must be trying his best to refuse to let himself fall into the desperate situation in front of him at this time, but under the admiring gaze of Princess Hézel, Edward Wren actually smiled and nodded:

"Your Highness, as you wish, Edward is willing to walk the path of judgment and let God determine my innocence."

What the?!

Liu Ci picked the corners of her eyes slightly, Edward's failure to play cards according to the rules caught her off guard, she didn't even have time to guess what Edward had to rely on, or if he was really innocent. Edward himself had lifted his robe slightly, strode forward, and walked into the terrifying path of judgment under the mouth of Princess Hézel—
