If you want to say the most sacred place on the continent, no one has known about St. Ann's Mountain for thousands of years. In the hearts of believers, St. Ann's Hill has always been a place of pilgrimage, the closest place to the God of Light in people's minds. This is the sanctuary of the Holy See of Light, and the Cathedral of St. Ann Hill is the largest church on the continent and the only residence of His Holiness His Holiness Franc VI.

On weekdays, there is always a thin layer of golden holy light on St. Ann's Mountain, and the priests and paladins bathed in the holy light pray and practice peacefully every day, as if this is an isolated peach orchard, and all the troubles in the world will be fading under the glory of God.

But in the past few days, although the golden holy light on his head has not diminished in the slightest, the atmosphere on St. Ann's Mountain is a little depressing. The clergy prayed and continued their daily practice as usual, but they would always stop to discuss the matter whenever they met.

Since the "Second Holy War" that swept across the continent 30,000 years ago, the undead race that had never appeared has reappeared in the world!

This is not referring to the low-level skeletons and manipulated corpses summoned by the pagan necromancers, but to the real, highly intelligent, powerful undead from the world of the dead!

This was passed down by the siblings who were in charge of the vision. It is said that the brothers and sisters there witnessed the appearance of the undead through the Vision of God!

What the hell is going on, O noble god of light, is the third holy war about to break out again?

The news had spread throughout the Holy Mountain, and it had been hanging over everyone's hearts for the past few days, as if even the glory from the God of Light above their heads had dimmed a little.

As soon as Aioria returned to the mountain, she felt the oppressive atmosphere around her, frowned slightly, and walked slowly up the three hundred stairs of Aioria after returning from the dust. Walk towards His Majesty's bedchamber.

He rushed back day and night this time to inform the Pope of the results of the auction of the magic sword at Fort Travis. and the progress of his own Lightsaber reforge. Ge Wei proposed that the Pope should bless the sword with holy power, and he had to ask the Pope first.

Originally, it was because Ge Wei agreed to his request. Aeolia was in a good mood when he returned to find the whole sacred mountain whispering and panicking. Aeolia's good mood immediately threw herself out of the clouds, knowing that something must have happened.

In front of a solemn hall, there stood two paladins at the door, both dressed in holy white robes and white armor, the armor was bright and the robes were spotless.

Two paladins meet Aeolia. They all smiled, bowed and saluted, "Lord Knight, welcome back." ”

Aioria smiled slightly, "Is Your Majesty here?"

"In. Knight, please come in!" the two paladins got out of the way.

Aioria nodded, straightened her clothes, and stepped into the hall.

This hall is not too big on the entire holy mountain, but it seems a little small, and it is not as gorgeous as other halls on the outside or inside, but no matter who walks into it, they can't help but slow down. My heart became extremely solemn. Because living here is the strongest man on the continent, the spokesman of the supreme god of light in the world.

This temple is not the largest, not the most ornate. But it is the highest place on the mountain, the closest to heaven.

As soon as you enter the temple, you enter the temple. Aioria saw a figure. The figure had his back to the temple door and faced the statue of the god of light in the temple. Stood silently. He was dressed in a white robe, the same color as his hair. There is no ornamentation on the robe. The figure looks a little rickety because of his old age, and he looks like an ordinary old man.

Five meters behind the figure, Aioria silently knelt down on one knee and was silent.

"You're back. The old man did not look back, still looking at the statue of the god of light hanging on the wall, his voice was neither high nor low, and there was no emotion in his voice.

"Yes, His Majesty the Pope. Aioria bowed her head deeply.

"Say it. The Pope said lightly, still not turning around.

So Aeolia recounted the course of the day in a concise and concise manner. Including the final auction of the magic sword to the Holy Bauhinia Empire, and Ge Wei's promise to help him forge the sword for the "teacher", and proposed to let the Pope personally bless the holy power. When Ge Wei was introduced, Aioria called him a master magician's apprentice.

After listening to Aeolia's statement, the Pope did not say a word, but silently faced the idol.

Aeolia didn't seem surprised, and after saying that, she continued to hang her head, thinking about her thoughts.

Half an hour later.

Only then did the Pope speak lightly: "The matter of the blessing of the holy sword, after the sword is sent, I will bless it for you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" said Aeoria looking up in delight.

"Hmm. The Pope said lightly: "When you come back, you should have seen it too, right?"

Aioria was overjoyed when she heard this, and the expression on her face became solemn: "Yes." It seems that everyone has encountered something on their minds......"

"What's on your mind?" the Pope said to himself, "Thirty thousand years ago, the Second Holy War was fought between the combined forces of humans, elves, and dwarves, and the undead race. The war lasted for hundreds of years, and the number of undead horrors suppressed the coalition army, and the coalition army continued to retreat, and the mainland fell for a time. Subsequently, Seraphim descended, and the tide of the war was reversed, eventually repelling the undead and retreating to the undead realm. After the end of the Holy War, in order to preserve the fruits of our hard-won victory, the gods helped us create the 'Vision'. The role of the Vision is to monitor the movements of the undead. God believes that the undead will one day return. So let's get ready. ”

"Vision?" Aeoria had heard of the Vision, which was said to be a separate institution from the Templar on the Holy Mountain, and that it had a transcendent status and an important role. It is the most mysterious institution in the Holy See.

It's just that Aeoria didn't expect that the Vision was originally used to spy on the undead.

"The undead were repelled by Seraphim in the war, but they could not be destroyed, not even by the gods. ”

"Not even God can do that?" said Aeolia in surprise at the Pope's words.

The Pope didn't seem to hear his surprise, and continued, "The undead come from the Abyssal Rift, and the rift leads to the undead world. The undead were driven back to the rift, but the rift was not sealed. All we can do is continue to garrison the rift and prevent the undead from returning. As time passed, the undead did not return, and the undead seemed to have completely disappeared and never returned. The various clans stationed in the rift, although they continued to guard there, also relaxed.

"Later, the undead still didn't appear. So everyone finally thought that the undead had given up the attack and the holy war had won. The first was the elven clan to retreat, leaving the rift that had been stationed for many years. Then, the humans, the dwarves, retreated from the rift where they were stationed. All rifts are no longer manned.

"God has spoken first, and the Vision has never given up its watch over all the rifts. Before Seraphim returned to Heaven, believers in the gods spontaneously gathered and formed a tight organization to watch over the Vision and continue to monitor the rift. This is us, the prototype of the Holy See of Light......"

Aeoria sweated when he heard this, these secrets of the Holy See that he had never heard of. Unexpectedly, the Holy See was originally established in this way, with such a history, and shouldering such a great mission!

"The descendants of the first generation of believers, who have inherited the Vision, continue to watch over it, and watch over the Abyssal Rift. This was followed by the third generation, the fourth generation...... We have a mission to protect the world, and we have passed it down from the beginning to the present day. For 30,000 years, the Vision that watched over all the rifts had not detected any anomalies. Until...... This time. The Pope's voice resounded in the hall alone: "The Divine Eye has witnessed the undead race emerging from the abyssal rift, although there are only a small number, but the energy reflection of the Divine Eye indicates that the one who has entered this world is a powerful undead! ”

Aioria's mouth opened in shock.

"The appearance of powerful undead means that the undead are finally ready to move, and God's prophecy has come true. And we...... In 30,000 years, where should we go, where should we go?" said in the Pope's faint voice, the last sentence seemed to be expounding, and it seemed to be asking himself.

Aioria suppressed her horror and forced herself to calm down from the shocking news. His Majesty the Pope will not tell him this for no reason. Did His Majesty the Pope want him to find out about it?

As if knowing what Aeoria was thinking, the Pope turned his back and said lightly, "After the Vision found the traces of the undead, I will send someone to that location to check. However, when we arrived, the undead were gone. There were no traces of undead creatures left there either. ”

"So, the mighty undead is still somewhere?" asked Aeolia.

"Yes. The Vision keeps an eye on the rift all the time, but only the rift. Out of the breach, the Vision can't detect it. By the way, the rift that appeared this time in the undead clan happened to be the place you went to before, the Southern Continent, the Duchy of Goliath, and the Tel Aviv Mountains. ”

"What?" Aeoria almost jumped, wasn't it near her? just in the right time, that is, she was near when the undead emerged from the rift, but she didn't notice anything unusual. Aioria was ashamed of his grave dereliction of duty.

Aioria cupped her chest, bowed her head deeply, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I ask to go back and find the traces of the undead. I'm familiar with it, I'll find out!"

The Pope said lightly: "Yes." Since you're going to go back to deal with the sword, you can go for yourself. It is said that on the battlefields of the four southern countries, the undead clan also appeared, which must have something to do with it. You should also go to the southern battlefield. ”

Aioria's eyes flickered, she stood up, bowed, and said, "Yes." ”

Aeolia walked out of the hall. The Pope never turned around. However, when Aeolia was about to leave the door of the temple, he seemed to faintly hear the Pope's sigh.
