Chapter 190: Whose Crisis

Fifty meters, only a short fifty meters.

This distance, whether it is for the horse ridden by the Knight of Light, or for Liu Ci under the blessing of the Divine Talisman, is a distance that will not be taken to heart in normal times.

Liu Ci and everyone are only fifty meters away from the city gate at this moment!

With one more step, she will be able to get out of the city, as will the Knight of Light and the Veblen Priestess...... It was only a short fifty meters away, and the last torches on the city wall were suddenly extinguished together!

Liu Ci mustered up the last remaining strength and jumped forward, but he didn't have time in the end.

There was a dull sound at the city gate, and the city of Husum was dark, and Liu Ci, like everyone else, could not leave the city before the lights went out.

After the lights were turned off, there was no moonlight, and the starry sky above the head could not be seen, there were no stars turning above it, and there was no wind blowing in the streets of the city extending in all directions.

"It's ...... late"

Liu Ci was unwilling, and tried to push the door, but the city gate was as stable as a rock, without a trace of shaking.

Surrounded by a white light, the Veblen priest flew towards the wall, and the higher he climbed, the wall seemed to rise infinitely, and he could not cross it. In the eyes of Liu Ci and others, they only felt that Priest Veblen was bound by an invisible force, and his body stayed in mid-air, and he couldn't reach the top of the city wall.

"Let's try!"

Several knights of light stepped forward and drew their swords.

An enchanted sword made by a dwarf, glittering with the cold edge of a weapon. Every big city on the continent will set up a magic circle around the city wall to resist attacks when it is built.

So the Knights of Light didn't use the enchanted longsword to chop the stone bricks, they tried to use the tip of the sword to stick into the gap in the city gate, trying to pry the city gate open with a lever.

Of course, the actions of several knights were in vain, and the gates were tightly sealed with the walls, leaving no gaps at all.

"Don't try again. There is no trace of the Dark Mage, and this place is indeed far from our real world. ”

Veblen Priest fell to the ground.

The old man had experienced countless thrills in his life, and since Liu Ci knew him, except for the time when the Dark Magician attacked Ordoren Peak, Priest Veblen had never really lost his temper.

"Priest, do you think Vess's words are credible?"

Everyone was at a loss now, and Liu Ci took the initiative to break the silence.

Priest Veblen tilted his head, "Which point are you talking about?" ”

"Husum's day and black clothes are two parallel lines, and the two worlds will never intersect......"

Liu Ci repeated Weiss's words again. In view of everyone's current state, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, she can't say it thoroughly.

However, Priest Veblen apparently understood Liu Ci's subtext. The old man shook his head, he never spoke indiscriminately when he couldn't give an answer.

Priest Veblen drew a range on the city gate, and the twenty-four knights worked together, and the priest chanted the incantation, and a white critical wave appeared...... Even Liu Ci threw away an earth-based "meteorite talisman", and a boulder fell from the sky and smashed it on the city gate.

The attack of the gathered forces of the people shook even the walls of Husum, but unfortunately the gates were closed, and there was no sign of pushing them open.

Liu Ci looked at the streets covered with stone slabs, and hesitated to draw a soil escape talisman. She has never tried the Five Elements Escape Talisman, not to mention where she will escape under random launch and the probability of her successful drawing, as long as she draws it herself in front of the Veblen priest, she has always misled everyone to think that the "talisman" is a magic scroll, and she can't hide it - although Liu Ci has not seen the scene of the magic scroll making, it is definitely different from the movement of the drawing talisman.

Failed again, the Veblen priests did not let them continue to waste their efforts to let everyone attack the city walls.

"Let's go back to the church in the city center first."

Priest Veblen eventually decided not to defend the city gates, but to return to the church in search of opportunities.

At this time, calming down a little, Liu Ci also felt that in the weird Husum, the dilapidated church in the center of the city was the most normal.

At least in the church, there are no "people" who think they are still alive, and the dilapidated church is understandable.

Liu Ci evacuated cautiously with the large army.

Presumably, the original intention of this strange city was to trap them, and the Light Knights were vigilant along the way, but they were suddenly attacked by dark creatures from the streets that did not appear in the pitch black.

The evacuation of the city gates was safe.

Liu Ci followed Priest Veblen and others back to the dilapidated church.

A few knights of light took action, and everyone roughly swept the cobwebs in the church, stuffed more than 20 people and more than 24 horses, and the church also regained some vitality.

"I don't know if it's dawn."

The lights that had been gradually extinguished just now were so strange that although there were still half-burned candles on the menorah of the church, no one offered to light them.

The church in the center of Husum has diamond-shaped glass windows, but even if it is not covered with thick dust, the sky outside will always be gray and blind, and the light in the church is enough to choke.

Hearing Liu Ci sigh, Priest Veblen rubbed the olive wood scepter, not knowing what he was thinking.

Obviously, they were trapped in the city of Husum in the dark of night. According to the law summarized by Weiss, no matter whether the sky is bright or not outside, the trapped people will not be able to witness the sun rise in a short time.

"If the inhabitants of the city we see really died in the floods of a few years ago, that would explain the fact that the church is dilapidated in Husum at night...... The religious clergy do not deceive themselves into being alive, and they are comfortable with death, because death is a return to the arms of the God of Light. God guides us to be born, and we can return to God after we die, death is not a terrifying existence, what really makes people fall into the wrong way is that after death, they still don't know that they are dead, and they are still living calmly. These are not people, nor are they the existence of the undead, just a group of living corpses...... The corpses refuse to give up their attachments, all the living corpses in this city, they are a bunch of blasphemers! So the churches were dilapidated, they didn't dare to go to the churches, and the god of light gave them up......"

Priest Veblen made a big call to the shattered statue of the god of light in the church, not knowing whether he was speaking to the crowd or talking to himself.

Just like when the dark mage broke through the barrier of Ordoren Peak, the old priest wept bitterly. At this time, the old priest faced the situation in the city of Husum, and he was also categorical in his decision.

Blasphemer!

Veblen the Priest condemned the "people" who were alive not so long ago as blasphemous.

Seeing that the knights of light around him looked in agreement, and their expressions were hard and resolute, after listening to the words of Priest Veblen, they obviously made up their minds.

Although he didn't know the specific meaning of Veblen's "blasphemer", Liu Ci still had a bad premonition in his heart.

God has abandoned the city, and the church is not affected, but perhaps the only place that is close to the real world is not the closed city gates, but the church itself? If we look closely, we may be able to find a way out. ”

Liu Ci actively suggested, while looking around at the dilapidated church, trying to find something like two spatial "cracks" as she herself said.

Priest Veblen shook his head when he heard this, "No, we won't be leaving for a while. More important than the fleeing Dark Mage, this strange Husum and the huge number of living corpses are more important. If we allow such blasphemy to happen right in front of our eyes, and we don't do anything, and we are even surprised by our curiosity because of the rarity, then what difference is there between us and the Dark Mage? ”

The leader of the Knight of Light's squad looked resolute, took the lead in drawing his sword, and knelt on one knee: "God's holiness brooks no blasphemy, and we will not hesitate to give our lives for it. ”

"Don't hesitate to give your life!"

The remaining knights followed the leader's movements, drawing their swords and kneeling.

They weren't swearing an oath to Veblen Priest, they were facing the church's important, the shattered statue of the god of light!

Liu Ci's mouth opened slightly, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

She and the thoughts of this group of fanatical believers are never in the same channel - faith is an existence that gives people sustenance and courage, and the Holy See believes that heresy should be eliminated!

Liu Ci's good impression of the Holy See has recently disappeared again. What kind of brainwashing education is it that makes a good person like Veblen Priest say what he just said in righteous words?

"Your so-called actions ......" obviously has an understanding, but Liu Ci is still determined to ask clearly.

Priest Veblen lowered his eyes and whispered something out of his mouth.

He held the olive wood scepter hanging from his chest in his hand, ignoring Liu Ci's question at all. In his eyes, Liu Ci, who would ask such questions, could not actually be regarded as a devout disciple of the God of Light, so he didn't pay attention to it.

"Priest, allow us to purge the blasphemers."

Captain Knights, please.

Priest Veblen opened his eyes slightly, "My child, the gods must sense your piety. Let's not be anxious yet, let me, under God's guidance, find out the blasphemers first. ”

"Yes, Lord Priest."

The Knights of Light all stood up, neatly divided into two rows, with their guards at the side of Priest Veblen.

As the old priest continued to whisper, the olive wood scepter on his chest glowed a gentle white light. The white light grew brighter and brighter, gradually dazzling like a small light bulb.

With a solemn expression on his face, the old priest Veblen stepped forward step by step, stepped on the table, and hung it with his own hands on the shattered statue of the god of light on the god case.

The olive wood scepter emitted a constant stream of white light.

Under Liu Ci's surprised gaze, the white light gradually repaired the broken marble statue!

The broken stone is glued together and the cracks disappear.

The statue of the god of light appears intact in the church of the city of Husum.

Smack-

With a crackling sound, the olive wood scepter drained its divine power, completely shattered into slag, and fell to the ground with a splash.

Veblen Priest had no pity for him, he didn't even take a second look at the old man who had been with him for decades.

He simply prayed to the statue of the god of light in its original condition.

The Knight of Light was also praying.

Pure faith poured into the statue of the god of light, until a pillar of light rose above the head of the "god", and the pillar of light as white as substance rose upward, penetrated the rhombic glass windows on the roof of the church, and exploded like fireworks on the pointed roof of the church, illuminating the dark city of Husum.

Bathed in the light of faith, Liu Ci looked up.

At this moment, the city of Husum is stunningly beautiful. Liu Ci didn't know whether they were trapped here, whether it was their own crisis or the end of those residents who were originally "alive......
