Chapter 679: The Chamber of Secrets
When Leo saw the thirty-six white bishops faintly surrounding the envoys of various countries, he knew in his heart that these rabble had no power to resist at all. With the ruthlessness of St. Paul and the scheming of San Francisco, even if the strength of the missions of various countries is ten times stronger, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Church of Light.
However, Leo also wondered in his heart, the protest of the mission and the temple was obviously a petty fight, and the Dark Council could not have used such a small measure, but they let these people be wiped out and not appear, what kind of ghost was they secretly playing? With Leo's understanding of those dark mages, it seemed impossible to give up so easily, there must be something he didn't know.
Leo had no interest in seeing how St. Paul's mission was resolved, and he was bored and planned to take the opportunity to visit the Cathedral of Light, which was famous all over the continent.
"Shhhhhhhhhh Sidney endured the heat in his ears, nodded knowingly, and the group quietly left through the side door of the chapel hall.
Sophia, who was following Leo, rolled her eyes a few times, wanting to go with Leo, but she couldn't bear the excitement in the worship hall, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the knights of missions and the Templars of so many countries flattened. After hesitating for a moment, Sophia watched as the figures of Leo and the others disappeared into the corridor outside the chapel hall, and then turned her head to see a stream of holy light descending from the sky, surrounding those Knights of the Legation.
Since most of the knights of light and clergy have been sent to the Holy City to deal with those dark warriors and dark mages, and the white bishops are concentrated in the chapel again, the current Cathedral of Light seems empty, but fortunately, it is daylight, and the perennial light on the top of the Cathedral of Light does not seem to be anything eerie.
A few people from the Principality of Pritz accompanied Leo and visited the Cathedral of Light as if it were a scenic spot. As he walked, Feng Xifan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he raised his hand to signal a few people to stop, and in a few breaths, Leo also heard an extremely slight sound of footsteps, if it weren't for the sound of the hard soles of combat boots hitting the ground, it would be easy to ignore it.
"There is the sound of war boots, it is definitely not the clergy of the Church of Light!" Feng Xifan said to Leo in a secret way.
Leo nodded slightly, but a smile appeared on his face, the people who would appear in the Cathedral of Light at this time might be the Dark Council of the Praying Mantis Catching Cicada, it seemed that they were going to take advantage of the attention of the Church of Light to be attracted by the missions of various countries, and wanted to quietly do something. Finally caught their tracks, this time you can't let them go easily, at least see what they want to do!
"Master Feng, you lead the way, let's sneak over and see what they want to do!" Leo also said to Feng Xifan with a sound transmission, and then raised his left index finger to his lips, and at the same time made a walking motion with the two fingers of his right hand, signaling Sidney and Achilles, Immorton and others to keep sneaking. The skills of these five people can be said to be the top in the mainland, and they deliberately keep quiet, even if the other party is keen, they may not be able to detect the whereabouts of Li Ao and the others.
Feng Xifan took the lead in the front, poured his internal force into his ears, carefully listened to the other party's footsteps, and judged their number, personnel composition and walking direction, while Li Ao and the others followed behind him and quietly touched the direction of the other party.
The Dark Council has poured out of the nest for the coronation of the Pope of Light this time. The dark warriors who have been carefully cultivated and trained for many years are almost all dispatched, all of whom are arranged to cause chaos in the Holy City, and the dark mages are responsible for sniping the light priests. And the real core force of the Dark Council, the Dark Speaker led the twelve Dark Archons plus the Dark Warrior Grand Leader Bond quietly touched into the Cathedral of Light.
This plan can be said to be extremely crazy, and it is also unthinkable for the Church of Light. Although San Francisco and São Paulo knew that the people of the Dark Council would definitely come out to cause trouble, when they learned through the portable teleportation circle that the dark mages and dark warriors of the Dark Council were killing in the Holy City, they relaxed their hearts and turned to deal with the missions who gathered to make trouble.
They didn't know that the dark speaker's plan this time was very big, that is, to dig up the foundation of the Church of Light fundamentally. From thousands of years of continuous confrontation and infiltration, the Dark Council has already figured out the internal structure of the Cathedral of Light, and the Dark Speaker and others have easily touched an extremely secret basement of the Cathedral of Light.
Despite the twists and turns of the road, this basement is actually located in the center of the Cathedral of Light, that is, the underground of the chapel. The worship hall on the ground was filled with holy light and hymns, while the door to the secret chamber underground was densely packed with the upper echelons of the Dark Council.
After hearing the footsteps in front of him stop, Feng Xifan quietly made a few gestures, signaling them to approach carefully. Just as Leo was about to go down the stairs leading to the underground, Immorton on the side suddenly grabbed him.
Leo glanced back at Immorton in surprise, but he believed that Immorton must have done so for a reason. As Leo thought, after Immorton pulled Leo back, he stood at the entrance of the staircase, looking at the dark staircase below, and reciting the scriptures silently.
Wisps of gray-black aura quietly overflowed from the hem of Immorton's wide robes, and these breaths continued to surge down the stairs under the drive of Immorton, and on the stairs where the gray-black aura passed, rows of magical patterns appeared in front of Leo and the others. At this moment, Leo finally realized that this was obviously an alarm circle set up by the people of the Dark Council to prevent someone from passing by.
However, no matter how secret the magic circle of the Dark Council is, it cannot compare to the magic that Immorton inherited from the Black Book of Death. With the erosion of the gray-black aura, these magic patterns were gradually assimilated, and the original ink-black handwriting slowly turned into gray-black, and only after all the stairs were submerged did Immorton get out of the way from the staircase entrance, and stretched out his hand to signal that Leo could go down.
It was still Feng Xifan who took the lead, and the group of mermaids rushed down and walked in the direction of the underground secret room. The snorting of more than a dozen people on the other side kept sounding in the narrow passage, and in the ears of Leo who had already paid attention to the internal force, it was simply audible clearly.
