Chapter 70: The Castle (2)

The hall of the castle is very wide, the round dome is very high, and the four tall stone pillars are distributed in the four corners, and there are intricate and exquisite patterns carved on it, obviously the original owner of the castle is also a very particular nobleman, although the castle was built in this barren mountain, but the pursuit of quality has not been left behind.

The castle has probably been abandoned for a long time, and the furniture and other furniture have long been dilapidated, and they have fallen to the ground, leaving only an empty hall.

At this time, there were already people who had already rushed to the castle to take shelter from the rain before Green and his party.

It was a young man and a woman, who seemed to be a couple, and they had dismantled some firewood from the discarded furniture on the ground, and a fire was being raised and snuggled together to roast it.

Seeing the door open, the two raised their heads and looked at the group.

Since everyone was armed and there were more people than them, the couple couldn't help but get a little nervous, and the man stretched out his hand to protect the woman carefully behind him, watching everyone vigilantly.

Green glanced at the two of them, the clothes on their bodies looked quite luxurious, and they didn't look like the villagers in the vicinity, although it was a little suspicious to appear in the ancient castle in this barren mountain range, but they didn't have any fluctuations of extraordinary power, they were just ordinary people.

Maybe it was the aristocratic young master of which family took his female companion out to play and was trapped here in the heavy rain, Green guessed in his heart.

Seeing that the two of them were a little vigilant, Green explained aloud: "We are travelers to Julu City, and we suddenly encountered heavy rain, so we came to take shelter from the rain. We have no ill will, don't worry. ”

After listening to Green's explanation, the two nodded reluctantly, which was regarded as a greeting, but they still seemed very careful. It was raining outside, and although they were a little scared, the two of them couldn't walk.

After explaining a few sentences at random, and without asking where they came from, Green turned around and ordered everyone to prepare a fire, the rain outside was too heavy, and several people's clothes were soaked a lot, and they urgently needed to be dried.

Zyra's face looked a little weird, but she still nodded, and took out a flint wrapped in oil canvas from the package on her body, but it was not wet and could still be used.

Deliberately finding a place a little far away from the couple, Green and the others started a vigorous fire and sat around the fire.

"We have checked upstairs and some of the rooms are still in good condition and barely able to stay. If you don't care, you can pick a room to spend the night tonight. ”

The man on the other side suddenly spoke to Green, probably seeing the embarrassing situation here.

Knowing that the other party was showing kindness, Green politely replied to him with a thank you, and some of the tension eased slightly.

Green turned around and saw that Zyra was looking at him with a very strange face, and had been acting unnaturally since he entered the door.

After looking at her twice, Green realized that she had probably been drenched in too much rain, her clothes were almost soaked, and the outline of her body was clearly visible in the light of the fire.

In front of everyone, it was inconvenient for her to take it off and bake, and she looked embarrassed.

It is estimated that Zyra is too embarrassed to speak, but Green thought about it and said, "There are some rooms upstairs that can still be used, so let's choose one to rest." ”

Zyra thought for a moment and nodded, got up and found some more firewood to start the fire, and walked up the stairs on one side of the hall by the light of the fire, holding the package in front of her chest with the other hand.

Witt and Nuanca didn't talk much along the way, probably knowing that the trip was too poor and a little ashamed.

Listening to Green's words, the two also nodded, each found some firewood, lit the fire, and headed towards the second floor.

The castle is made of stone, so it's okay to light a fire in the room, so if you are careful, it won't catch fire.

Only Green and the other couple were left in the hall, leaning together and whispering.

Green didn't mean to eavesdrop, he sank his mind slightly and turned the holy elephant fighting qi into action, using its concussive effect to make his body slowly heat up. The soaked clothes were slowly heated, and a trace of white gas rose from the body, and it didn't take long for the clothes on the body to be dried.

He took some dry food out of his bag and filled his stomach, although it was all a little wet, but Green didn't mind.

After eating, Green drew two torches from the fire, then extinguished the fire and stood up with the torches. The couple turned their heads in silence, and Green smiled kindly at them and headed straight for the stairs.

There was a long red carpet on the stairs, but it was already in tatters, and even the color was a little whitish, and stepping on it was like stepping on dry grass.

There are many rooms on the second floor, and the doors are closed and there is no sound. Several corridors crisscrossed into the distance, and the glimmer of the torches could only see something up close.

I don't know which ones Zyra chooses, so Green randomly chose one against the wall. Unscrewing the dusty doorknob, a traditional aristocratic bedroom appeared before him, holding a torch and surveying the room. Most of the valuables were taken away, leaving only an empty bed and a few tables.

The window of the room has long been gone, and you can clearly see the night outside, the heavy rain is still falling, and occasionally a lightning bolt in the sky crosses the sky, illuminating the room brightly, and the dull thunder is remembered from time to time.

There was still half a white candle left on the table, and Green lit it and set it aside. Turning around and walking over to the empty bed, the board was of good quality, and Green felt sturdy enough to sleep on for the night.

Now that he was finally able to be alone, Green reached into his arms and touched it, took out the emblem he had snatched and held it in his hand.

I don't know what material it's made of, but the texture is very hard, and there is a warm feeling in my hand.

The aura of divine power exuded was very strong, far exceeding all the attribute point items that Green had encountered.

Green calmed down and exhaled the system, beginning to absorb the energy from it.

In an instant, a large stream of surging cold energy came out of the Holy Emblem, which was continuously absorbed by Green.

At the same time, countless images began to be passed into Green's mind, this time it seemed to be from the perspective of many people, and the scenes kept flashing.

After looking at it for a while, Green understood that this was probably the picture of the believers of the Holy See praying, and countless people knelt in front of the huge sun-shaped statue symbolizing the Lord of Light, constantly praising the great Lord of Light and thanking him for his blessings.

In the center of the sun-shaped statue is a human face, but the facial features are blurred and the appearance is not clear, which is also based on the teachings of the Holy See of Light. The appearance of the gods is not visible to men, and mortals who try to spy on the gods will be blinded on the spot.

It was only from these flickering images that Green could glimpse a corner of the Holy See's immense power. In particular, the picture of the cardinal of the Holy See blessing tens of thousands of believers at one time, countless golden rays of light shining from the sky and falling on the faithful, causing countless pious prayers of praise and prayer.

There was also the huge mountain range that flashed in the picture and filled countless papal buildings, even if it was just a picture in his memory, there were still countless huge coercions that made Green feel a palpitation.

On the panel of the system, the column of available attribute points is also constantly jumping.

3......

5......

10......

16......

20......

Green couldn't help but show joy on his face, he really made a lot of money this time, and with these attribute points in hand, his strength could almost increase by half.

At this amplitude, Green could be sure that a peak knight powerhouse like the previous Black Knight could already be said to be vulnerable in front of him.

It's just that he doesn't know how big the gap is with the big knight, and Green doesn't have the arrogance to think that he can already challenge the big knight. Julu City has a population of millions, and there are only a dozen great knights, which shows the difficulty of advancing to great knights. And any force, as long as there is a big knight in charge, it can naturally cut a piece of the cake from the giant deer city, from which you can see how much higher the combat power of the big knight is than the knight rank.

If Green didn't have a trading house platform, and relying on the support shown by the army, it would be impossible for him to occupy that piece of territory in the Baiyun District with the strength of his knight rank alone.

The number of available attribute points continued to beat until 28 before slowly stopping, and the aura on the emblem gradually weakened.

If it weren't for Cecilia's stimulation of the divine spell stored on it, she would have been able to absorb more. Moreover, Cecilia's strength is not enough to fully exert the power of that divine art, and most of the divine power has been wasted, otherwise this high-level divine skill that can work on the great knight will not be resisted by Green so simply.

Seeing that he had obtained so many attribute points at one time, Green couldn't help but nod and smile with satisfaction.

Wait, what is this?

Green watched in amazement at the change in front of him.

After all the divine power was absorbed by Green, the luster of the Holy Emblem gradually dimmed, and the original Holy Emblem had been scrapped, even if it was taken back to the Holy See, it could only be baptized again, no different from making a new Holy Emblem.

However, a golden point of light the size of a grain of rice slowly floated out from the Holy Emblem, suspended in midair, looking like the divine power used by the Holy See's clergy, but that pure, all-exclusive domineering aura showed that its essence was far higher.

What is surprising is that there are no impurities at all in this divine power, or the power of faith, which cannot be absorbed by the system.

Cecilia said that this emblem had the divine power of the Lord of Light, could this be the real divine power after stripping the power of faith?

Green resounded what Cecilia had said, and not only guessed in his heart.

Stretching out his hand to hold this bit of divine power in his hand and observe it carefully, Green was secretly frightened, its quality was indescribable.

I played with it in my hand for a while, but it didn't react.

After hesitating for a while, Green carefully urged the Holy Elephant Dou Qi to touch this divine power, but he didn't expect that it would be like snow and water blending, and the two would merge together. That bit of divine power quickly merged into the fighting qi and disappeared.

Green hurriedly ran the Sacred Elephant Dou Qi and carefully checked it, but found nothing, except for feeling that the Dou Qi had a trace of indescribable changes, there was nothing unusual in his body.

Green's face was gloomy, he didn't know what the hell was going on, and he didn't know if it would be good or bad.

And in a distant space, a giant with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes is sleeping with an impossibly large body. The moment Green absorbed a bit of divine power, one of the giant's eyes suddenly opened, revealing a huge golden pupil in it, as if sensing something, and then rolled his eyes again, revealing a puzzled look. After a while, it slowly closed its eyelids again and continued to sleep.

Sitting on the bed and thinking for a while, Green remembered that Zyra seemed to know something about the Emblem, and was about to ask her about it.

I don't know if it's good or bad for this thing to stay in his body, Green immediately got up and walked outside, he couldn't wait for a moment.

The door was opened, and there was no sound in the hallway.

"Zyra, Zyra, are you there? I have something for you. ”

With a candle in his hand, Green shouted all the way down the hallway, but no one responded.

Passing the stairs, Green suddenly stopped and leaned downstairs, the hall on the first floor was dark, there was no light, and the original couple was gone.
