Chapter 144: Statue of Light
I knew in my heart that it was really the Miming Church that did it, and there were many churches in the city of Muni, and if it was to search one by one, it was obviously unrealistic, and the alarm was too great.
Hui Gang looked around and saw that the surroundings were quite quiet, and no one was on the roof lightly on their toes.
Although he was only here to help the old doctor, he had not been there, and although this area was inhabited by a large population, there were no tall buildings at all. Only the bell tower of the Church of Light church stands tall there.
After confirming the direction, the monk's true qi ran a few ups and downs. Everything in this place is sparsely populated, and the front door is deserted. Even the Church of Light is the same, the people here are busy for their livelihood, how can they have time to pray, Hui Gang's figure is light and silent, and in an instant, he has already circled around this small space.
Now, except for a few old clergy, there is no other abnormality, those people have no trace of Hui Gang at all, Hui Gang quietly stood on top of the bell tower, looking at the towering buildings in the distance, among them, the building of the God of War Hall is simple and heavy, and it is quite similar to the fortress.
The Muni Cathedral of the Church of Light is magnificent, revealing nobility in luxury. Hui Gang looked at it and sneered, since he couldn't find it here, he had to come to the door to ask for it.
The Muni Cathedral is one of the six cathedrals of the Church of Light on the Big 6, which governs the Church of Light in the Dru Empire, the city-states of Maidan, and the Duchy of Land, as well as some smaller nations.
After Archbishop Bocuse arrived, he flourished even more, his power and wealth were extremely powerful, and he was said to have been connected with a powerful figure in the court.
Such an important place is naturally heavily guarded. In addition to the soldiers sent by the Drew Empire to guard them, there are also the Holy Guard Knights of the Church of Light, all of whom are high-level warriors who are proficient in the Bright Fighting Qi. Plus those bishops in the church. The Cardinal and the High Earth Light Mage are extremely powerful here.
So on the main road where the gate of the Muni Cathedral is located. Except for the warriors standing there and guarding, there were hardly any pedestrians to be seen. Occasionally, a richly decorated carriage was parked in a special parking lot, and the carriage was loaded and disembarked, with graceful aristocratic men and women. Immediately, a full-time priest received and guided him into the church for confession or healing of the Holy Power of Light.
The knights of the Holy Guardian felt bored standing in front of the door, and these valiant warriors who had taken refuge in the light of the god of light wanted to go to the wilderness or the north to fight against the cults and aliens.
Suddenly, I saw a person walking slowly on the street, and when I saw this person, a knight of the Holy Guard was quite surprised, and the people who came here were basically high-ranking officials and nobles, all carriages or horses. It is seldom seen that such a walk comes, although it is said that the purpose of this Church of Light is 'the love of God, the light shines on equal life.' But in reality. This light still shines more on the rich and powerful.
Hui Gang walked here, the impatience and anger in his heart slowly calmed down, and he looked at the golden-walled and brilliant cathedral in front of him. Although it reveals the solemnity of God, in the monk's heart, these are not the so-called purpose of this Church of Light, when he first came to this world, when he first came into contact with the Church of Light in Gravel Town, he saw those texts and teachings. It's still quite a good feeling.
Because this doctrine is quite similar to the Buddhist teachings, but since the death of Father Philip, the beasts who succeeded him. and what he saw and heard on the way when he and Fei'er left Gravel Town, and there was no difference between those temples and Taoist temples that were extremely rich and noble when he walked the rivers and lakes in his previous life.
Religion no longer has the meaning of saving sentient beings, and it has become a powerful force that dominates one side. The Church of Light and the Temple of War in this world are already huge forces above the state compared to those in the previous life. There is nothing to save people, there is something to purify the world, there is nothing to be equal.
When he reached the main entrance of the Muni Cathedral, the monk stopped, looked at the high steps, and looked coldly at the gate on the steps.
His abrupt behavior attracted the attention of several people above, and several Holy Guardian Knights stood on it and shouted loudly:
"What is that person down here doing, this is not a person of your status, come and go away. β
This kind of style is no different from the rich and noble slaves, Hui Gang walked up the steps step by step, those people saw that the monk was silent, and suddenly became angry, and their hearts were also vigilant, thinking that Hui Gang came here to cause trouble.
These knights were extremely agile, and stepped to the monk's side in a few steps, faintly surrounding him in the middle. When I got closer, I saw that the monk's bearing and appearance were quite extraordinary. Don't dare to take offense.
One of them asked Hui Gang:
"What are you doing here?"
The words were very polite, Hui Gang looked coldly at the brightly armored samurai in front of him, and said lightly:
"A friend of mine was captured by the Church of Light, and I came here to bring him back. β
The knights' faces suddenly turned cold, and they quickly jumped away, and the axes and guns in their hands were aimed at the monks, and the Church of Light often had this situation, but in the Drew Empire, they could not override extraterritoriality, so some things had to be done in secret.
Although these people didn't know who was arrested, they also knew in their hearts that the other party was here to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and in this case, they could completely treat the monk as a heretic with the intention of desecrating the dignity of the God of Light.
Before the knights could react, they only heard the sound of metal armor and stone steps colliding, and several people standing on the steps turned into rolling gourds and rolled down the steps.
The knight who asked the question had been lifted up by the monk in mid-air at this time, and although the Holy Guardian Knights were of different ranks, their strength was completely superior to that of the elite warriors of the Drew Empire, although their armor was used to decorate the faΓ§ade, but this weight and solidity were not inferior to the armor of the heavy cavalry, and the combined weight was hundreds of pounds.
However, the monk easily lifted the knight up, and the knight wanted to say something threatening, looked down at his breastplate, and suddenly turned pale, and the steel plate with two fingers thick seemed to be woven in the monk's hand, and the monk asked coldly:
"I want to ask you where you are holding my friend. β
The knight no longer had the majesty he had just now, and his heart was full of fear, and he said to Hui Gang in a trembling voice:
"Honorable ...... Dear sir, I'm just here looking at the door, not knowing the person you said was captured. β
At this time, a priest who came out to run errands came out of the door of the church, and when he saw this scene, he was immediately frightened and ran back.
"I really didn't know I had just been transferred to this place from the South. β
The knight said in horror as the monk stared at him. Hui Gang snorted coldly, and threw his hand downward, and the heavily armored guard knight fell down in the clouds.
There was a thud and the companions collided.
However, Hui Gang's attention was not on these useless knights, and the priest who came out just now ran back in horror, obviously to mobilize rescuers. At this time, the thick door that was half-open had been closed by Jinjin.
The monk keenly heard the loud shouting inside, and in the Bright Church of Muni City, where the strong men of Muni City were heavily stationed, there was actually a person who came to the door to provoke. This is an affront to the dignity of the Church of Light, and Hui Gang did not wait for the people inside to come out.
Walked to the small door on the right side of the church gate, grabbed the handle, and gently used the strength, Hui Gang's 'gentle force' power was not small, the sound of 'click' sounded, the circlip door lock inside was immediately shattered, and the monk casually threw the door panel that was dragged down to the side and strode in.
Although the Muni Cathedral of the Church of Light is heavily guarded, the road in front of the gate is not crowded with people. But there are spies from all sides watching.
Seeing a man who had the audacity to knock down the door, the knight of the guard unloaded the door empty-handed. These things don't require any strong martial arts, but this act is an extremely astonishing act that offends the huge Church of Light.
It wasn't until Hui Gang stepped into the door that the spies outside came to their senses. Several figures left in a hurry, reporting to their master.
When Hui first walked inside, the priest who stumbled in was gone, and there was no one in the front hall, obviously not expecting that the people outside would actually break down the door.
A very solemn and majestic hall, the dome of four or five stories high is painted with exquisite top paintings, and the surrounding walls are also covered with all kinds of lifelike reliefs, which are all painstakingly portrayed by famous artists on the big 6, so to speak, this is the art museum on the big 6.
But all this fine art lost its meaning in front of the statue on the south side of the hall, where stood a huge statue of the god of light.
The statue was almost as tall as this huge hall, naturally in the shape of a giant, and stood there calmly dressed in robes, although it was huge, but it gave people an extremely gentle feeling.
