Chapter 835: Infiltrating the Church
Just when Benjamin hesitated, suddenly, several more figures suddenly appeared in the church—servants in twos and threes, surrounded by a richly dressed nobleman. And that nobleman happened to be Duke Colin.
Benjamin's heart moved.
I saw that they walked to the door of the church, as if they wanted to leave, but they were blocked by the enchantment, and they immediately looked shocked and angry. Duke Colin turned around and questioned the priest at the door.
"Father, what's going on?"
“...... It's not like those people are making trouble again. But don't worry, the Duke, they won't be able to rush in. The priest was respectful to him, and replied at once.
Duke Colin, however, changed his face and said, "What? But I have an urgent matter now, and I need to get to the outer city at once! Please get rid of this thing quickly, and I must get out of here within ten minutes." ”
The priest was stunned, and immediately showed a look of embarrassment: "Lord Duke...... This can't be done, remove the barrier, what about those people outside?"
"What is there to be afraid of a group of civilians, aren't there a lot of paladins over there, tell them to come and help drive people away!" Duke Colin looked anxious, "Anyway, you guys hurry up and remove this thing that is blocking the door!"
"But there are too many people outside, and there are not enough people to drive them away......"
"I really can't manage that much!" Duke Colin interrupted him directly, "You don't let me go out, miss this meeting, and if the funds for the repair of the church can't be turned, will you be responsible at least?"
"I ......"
Several priests were suddenly dumbfounded, and even the bishop of the church ran out to ask what was going on. And the Duke of Colin was not weak, but he still crackled on the grounds of repairing the church, and the bishop could not refute it.
Eventually, he looked outside the door and nodded.
“...... Forget it, close the guardian barrier for the time being, and call those paladins over. ”
The priests looked at each other and did not dare to say anything, so they took out their special crosses and pointed them at the church gate. As they uttered words, the magic fluctuations spread, and several of them joined forces to close the Holy Light Barrier at the door.
And at the moment when the barrier dissipated......
"Look, God's blessing is gone! God doesn't protect this place anymore!"
"Get in there...... There's definitely a lot of value in there......"
The crowd rushed towards St. Peter's Basilica as if it were boiling. The priests at the door couldn't stop them at all, and even the figure of Duke Colin was suddenly disappeared, and he disappeared into the crowd with his servants.
The paladins guarding the church hurriedly rushed over, and outside the church, the team of paladins who had just arrived not long ago naturally couldn't stand idly by, and immediately rushed towards the crowd.
The whole scene instantly turned into a pot of porridge.
The priests were in a mess, but they couldn't cast spells. The use of magic against innocent civilians was absolutely forbidden, and with the Pope not present, it was impossible for them to directly convict hundreds of civilians, which was a very serious damage to the reputation of the Church.
Only the paladins were able to withstand the onslaught. They had their own duties to guard the corners and rooms of St. Peter's Basilica, but now they had to gather at the door and try to keep the rioters out.
And in such a chaotic situation......
"I actually slipped in. ”
Benjamin slipped through the side door of the main hall of the church and, without noticing, entered the cloister of the church, which had traditionally been closed to outsiders. He looked at the vision through his helmet and couldn't help but sigh.
He thought the plan was going to fall short when it had just begun.
"This place is really scary. The system said in his mind, "There are holy light enchantments everywhere, and even spiritual power can't penetrate into it, and nothing can be scanned." ”
"It doesn't matter, we're not here to be spies. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and replied heartily as he walked towards the basement where the king was being held.
He also tried to use the water elemental sensing method to explore everything around him, but he was also stopped by one enchantment after another. However, to his slight reassurance, Grant really didn't seem to be there.
- A spellcaster as powerful as him, if he is located in a church, there will always be some clues between the flow of light elements. And so far, neither he nor the system has found such signs.
Did you really run to the Warcraft Mountain Range?
This pope deserves ...... The heart is really big.
Benjamin complained to himself as he walked down the corridor. The size of St. Peter's Basilica is quite staggering, with cloisters, back gardens, ...... It is not much smaller than the royal palaces of various countries. On the way, he met a few priests and paladins who were hurrying to and fro, but without looking at Benjamin, who was wrapped in armor, they hurried in the direction of the church gate.
There were even a few paladins who asked him about the situation when they passed by.
"Hey...... How's it going at the door?"
Benjamin hurriedly walked forward, and replied angrily: "I don't have time to go into details, you guys hurry up and come to support!"
Not even one doubted his identity, and no one even asked him where he was going. Looking at his hurried appearance, everyone probably thought that he had some important news to report, and they didn't dare to stop him more.
And Benjamin made it to the basement without any problems.
"What's going on outside? Isn't it that the guardian barrier has been opened, how can it still be like this?" At the door of the stairs in the basement, several priests, two teams of paladins, and a bishop stood here. When they saw Benjamin coming, they immediately asked.
"I don't know...... Guarding the enchantment seems to be ...... Broken. ”
"How is it possible? What is the power of a mob to break the guardian barrier?"
"I don't know, but the Bishop called me to come and ask you for help, and it seems...... Seem...... Inside the people who were making trouble outside, it seemed that the shadow of a mage had appeared......"
Suddenly, the bishop's face changed.
"How could it be...... Could it be that those nobles are colluding with the mages again......"
He pondered for a moment, then quickly raised his head, and set off with most of the present, towards the gate. However, because of the importance of this basement, he left two priests and five paladins to guard the place in case anyone broke in.
In a few moments, they disappeared at the end of the cloister.
"These people really can't rest for a day!" said a priest, still guarding the door of the basement, with a somewhat angry look, and snorted.
"yes......"
Beside him, a man wrapped in paladin armor suddenly chimed in: "Your Majesty is obviously fine under the protection of the gods, but they must feel that there is a conspiracy, and they must come out to protest." ”
The priest nodded, but, for some reason, he felt that the paladin's echoed voice sounded a little yin and yang, as if he was agreeing with him, and as if he was sarcastic.
It made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, he suddenly frowned and turned his head, looked at the paladin who came to report the news, and asked, "What is your name from that team, why do I feel that I haven't seen you?"
The paladin suddenly took off his helmet.
"No...... I think you must know me. ”
