Along the way, the young man didn't answer Ye Qingxuan's questions, but just told him that Bishop Carol would give him an answer.

After walking up to the ground and through the inner court, he climbed the wall of the Arrow Tower.

There were few human figures in the fortress, and the stone fort seemed to be empty, except for the crackling sound of burning torches, there was not even a sound, and the silence was terrifying.

Only the main hall of the meeting was still a little hot, and the fireplace was no longer burning the bones of demons, but split pine wood, giving off a soothing fragrance.

On top of the iron chair, the old man was praying with his eyes closed.

Bishop Carol didn't look old, but he had begun to lose his hair, and without a hat, the top of his head was bare, barely covered by a few gray hairs.

He was wearing some old bishop's robes and sat in the main hall, and after Ye Qingxuan arrived, he got up to greet him and motioned for the others to retreat.

"What should I call you, Mr. Ye. ”

He looked at Ye Qingxuan, his face expressionless: "Anglu's sword bearer, the venerable blood of heaven and man, the Marquis of Aurora, or ...... Your Excellency the Grand Inquisitor?"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, touched the holy belt on the inside of his collar, and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that you are well-informed?"

"Isn't that what the Holy City is?" said Carol lightly, "It looks majestic, but it's actually a wall that leaks everywhere." What's more, like our flock of frightened birds, we always need to be well-informed.

Although the fog blocked the ether communication, it was still okay to receive it unilaterally. ”

That's the good news.

Anglo should have received the news of his return, and things shouldn't be too bad with Avalon.

Although it is difficult to wait and hope to find, it is better than waiting to die without knowing anything.

"Compared to you, on the way here, you also saw those things that got in the way outside, right?"

Carroll asked, "According to the Watcher's return, you've brought quite a great gift." In the early years, this achievement alone was enough to make you famous. ”

"If you like it, it's fine. ”

Ye Qingxuan sat on the chair opposite him, took a sip of bitter tea that tasted bad, and decisively put down the teacup: "Rare things are expensive, and when there are not many monsters in the material world, it can still handle it."

But now the Hundred Eyes have thrown the entire abyssal monsters into the material realm. Now that all natural disasters have entered the awakening period, and there are such ghosts everywhere, you guys are not having a good time here, right?"

Carol knew what Ye Qingxuan wanted to ask, and answered bluntly: "Those demons in the water all follow the ocean current, and Alderney is right on the tributary of 'Ignay', and the past two days have not been easy." Avalon wasn't necessarily easy, either. ”

Hearing his words, Ye Qingxuan's brows couldn't help frowning, and he quietly cursed in his heart.

Just as Cloudlou City held an unshakable position in the trade routes between East and West, Avalon was more important than ever.

It is the maritime hub of the whole West, and all shipping routes cannot bypass the territory of Anglo, and this tax alone is enough to occupy a quarter of Anglo's annual treasury.

This has something to do with the Ocean Current Division......

Ye Qingxuan hadn't paid attention to this aspect before, but he still remembered the data recorded in the economic monographs he had read. In the Western world, almost half of the ocean currents pass through Anglo's territory. Among them, the core of Avalon is the most important.

The 'Avalon phenomenon', which all hydraulic scholars around the world want to understand, almost all the movements of ocean currents will eventually converge around Anglo, forming an abstract ring that envelops Avalon.

In other words, if the demons were following the current, then now Avalon ......

Ye Qingxuan sighed and stopped thinking about it.

"According to our investigations, the demons are not following the currents. ”

Bishop Carol seemed to understand what Ye Qingxuan was thinking, the first half of the sentence made Ye Qingxuan breathe a sigh of relief, but the second half of the sentence made his heart rise again:

They were born out of the sea. ”

Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time and asked, "Because of 'Leviathan'?"

"That's right. ”

Carol bowed her head and handed him the two ancient anomalous scrolls beside her, "This is the remaining record of the Ministry of Faith and Reason, and the last time Leviathan woke up, it was the same. Leviathan's song attracts the arrival of the Dark Mother Earth, turning the waters of the seven seas into a breeding ground for demons, and the seas give birth to many evil children.

At this moment, the sea of light we are in has probably been sprinkled with demonic seeds by the Mother Earth of Darkness. Now we have to face only a small advance army, and when Leviathan officially awakens, it will be the time of the sons of the sea. ”

"So, where is the Church of the Faith and the Doctrine going from here?"

Ye Qingxuan asked bluntly, and pointed to the holy belt on the neckline: "If you are not willing to give up your duties, then you can return to my command and re-enter the stage."

If you are determined to leave this world, then leave this place as soon as possible. It wasn't too difficult for the Church of the Faith to find a way out before the sons of the sea appeared. ”

Carol was silent.

"For a moment, I wanted to kill you. He said, "Revenge for Michelle." ”

"Reasonable, understandable. ”

Ye Qingxuan nodded.

"What does the former Order want of us, after humiliating us for so many years, to make someone with such a deep hatred for us a Grand Inquisitor?"

Carol looked at him with a grim look in her eyes: "Do you expect us to kneel humbly to meet the humiliation given in the name of God?"

"What you think is your business. ”

Ye Qingxuan leaned on the chair and looked at him, his voice was indifferent: "To be honest, you haven't been stimulated enough, you see, I'm used to it."

This is reality, learn to accept it, even if it's humiliating.

Then, someone else who can take care of things will talk to me. ”

Carol was stunned for a moment and frowned: "I am the leader here." ”

"No, you're not. ”

Ye Qingxuan shook his head: "To be honest, I have experienced so many tosses over the years, I may not know if you ask me how many kinds of mortals there are, but I know exactly what a person who can manage things will look like."

There are many kinds of people in charge, but you are none of them.

You're a shield that has been pushed out, and you can't even veto that until the people behind you don't want to show up, am I right?"

“......”

Carol was silent, closed her eyes, and sighed softly for a long time: "After they see you, they may have different thoughts than me, but if I kill you here, then there will be no second possibility." ”

"Just six people here?"

Ye Qingxuan smiled and shook his head, "Not enough, Bishop Carol, you should know what I got this holy belt for." If you want to kill me, add some more weight.

If you can't do that, change some tea for me, and then go and say goodbye to the old people who are hiding in the shadows. Tell them, I'm here. ”

In the dead silence, there was a faint sound of blades scraping in the distance.

The glow of the fireplace pulled a jumping shadow on Carol's face, and her face was cloudy. His eyes drooped, as if in consideration. For a long time, he sighed softly.

"So be it. ”

He pulled open the hub next to the fireplace, and in the center of the hall, the passage to the underground opened, and a cold wind blew in from the darkness.

"Come with me. ”

He glanced back at Ye Qingxuan and said, "I'll take you to meet the person who is still qualified to guide the Faith and Doctrine Department." ”

-

The underground passage was not long, but in just one month, Ye Qingxuan did not expect that they would build such a huge fortification.

Moreover, a fortress of war was built with such foresight......

"The blueprint for it comes from the former White Rock Fortress. ”

Carol walked ahead and whispered, "There is the easternmost part of the dark world, where we once went and opened up a new world......

White Rock Fortress.

Ye Qingxuan had heard of this name.

At the height of the Golden Age, humanity had conquered as far east as Asgard, bypassing mountains and rifts to border Aurora from the other side of the continent.

The White Stone Fort is one of the most famous holy places of that era, a fortress built from blood and sacrifice, and a miracle created by the Inquisition.

In the Battle of the Highlands, in the face of the attacks of witches and beasts, the Knights of the Witch's Hammer of the Inquisition continued to counterattack day and night, carrying brick by brick, mixing lime with their own and enemy blood, and ramming the foundation with the bones of humans and demons, and built the rudiments of a fortress in that desperate area......

It was the most glorious time of the Inquisition.

It's a pity that after the recovery of the natural disaster, the six lines of defense were destroyed one after another, and the fortress was also destroyed during the retreat......

"That is the land of our glory, the spirit of the Inquisition. Carol said, "We have left the Holy City and lost our glory. But at least there's no way to forget about it.

Mr. Ye, this is where our homeland is, if you really want to be a qualified Grand Inquisitor, please remember it and don't forget. ”

"I will. ”

Ye Qingxuan stroked the wall and sighed softly.

"Here we are. ”

Carol stopped in front of the door with a complicated expression, looked at Ye Qingxuan and hesitated for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Mr. Ye, before you meet them, please listen to me say a few more words."

They are very old, and perhaps they will have a somewhat eccentric temperament, and some will not be very popular. If you are offended, please be patient.

These old men are already our last treasures. ”

Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, and his chin bowed:

"Don't worry. ”

"Well, I'll wait outside. ”

Carol opened the door, eyes lowered:

"I wish you the best of luck. ”

The door closed behind Ye Qingxuan.

"What the hell, mysterious. ”

Ye Qingxuan sighed, looked up at the front, and then almost stumbled under the smoke that came from his face.

"Avalon has fallen!!"

Someone roared hoarsely, and the voice was heart-wrenching, making Ye Qingxuan stunned on the spot. (To be continued.) )
