Chapter 452: The Secret Passage

Maffeo's bruised muscles finally disappeared, and his pale face finally returned to normal. www.biquge.info The moment the side effects of the alchemy potion disappeared, he felt like he had been reborn, and there was nothing more wonderful than the feeling at this moment. Dominic came faster than he expected, and just as he straightened up, Dominic, whose fingertips trembled with golden light, came to his side.

The two didn't communicate much, and Maffeo silently followed Dominic into the room. The strange feeling returned, and Dominic turned and closed the door softly. Maffeo, on the other hand, stopped in place to observe the mural. It's like seeing the prophetic painting that predicts the appearance of Lotus in an art shop on the West Coast, and the meaning of what Maffeo thinks is the same - the source of disaster and chaos.

For ordinary people, this is indeed a disaster, a misguided villager and a child who has been hurt, a terrible thing that is unspeakably bad. The ignorance of the gods had reached a level that made Dominic angry, and he felt the anger rising within him, and he was on the verge of exploding. "If we find the Dark Order's stronghold this time, then I really want to do it tonight. Dominic said through gritted teeth.

"But you wouldn't do that, would you?" said Maffeo, whistling boredly. "You also know that it is absolutely not permissible to be a member of the clergy to disobey the orders of the Order. ”

"I know, but at least I'm going to cause them a little bit of trouble. "Dominic tried to calm himself down.

"Torul said that every house in the village had a secret passage leading to the forest, and now let's find out. Maffeo took a candle from the table and lit it with flint, illuminating the room.

The food on the table, which had cooled down, must have been the supper of the master of the room, and yet they had given up the food that the real gods had given them in order to pray to the so-called gods, and Dominic thought that the fellows were pitiful. He believes that people's ignorance is not a sin, but their ignorance is also an accomplice to many chaos. Even a seeker of truth like Ophelia, who escaped from the Heavenly Veil Behemoth, can't escape the insult of a rogue scumbag.

"Do you want to find the secret passage?" said Maffeo to Dominic, who was stunned in place, he didn't know what the other man was thinking, but he didn't think it was a good waste of time.

"What do you think led the people here to the Dark Order?" asked Dominic.

Maffeo spread his hands inexplicably, "Are you sure you want to ask this now?"

"I'm sure. ”

"They are deluded, that's all. Maffeo replied.

Dominic shook his head, "I don't think so. ”

"We can discuss this later, do you want to wait for the villagers to come back from praying and treat the two of us as public enemies?" Maffeo reminded.

"You're right, let's get started. Dominic sighed, gave up arguing about the matter, and began to search for the secret passage.

In fact, it didn't take much effort to find the secret passage, and there were no secrets at all in such a small log room. The entrance to the secret passage was next to the bed, and from the outside, it looked like a bottomless cavern. Maffeo held out a candle to illuminate the entrance to the passage, trying to figure out if it was safe to jump from it.

The end result was that the secret passage was only about a meter above the floor of the house, and the two of them did not have to worry about the possibility of falling and injuring themselves. So Maffeo jumped first, followed by Dominic.

The air inside the passages is cloudy, damp and rats are almost certainly the masters of the place. Of course, in addition to these things, the two also found some creatures that live in the wild and like to live underground. So, to a large extent, a few bugs jumped on their clothes after the two of them took a few steps forward. Maffeo waved the candle in his hand to ward off the insects along the way, but the narrowness of the passage prevented his arms from fully extending.

"Save your energy, ghost. Dominic behind him said.

"These bugs are about to get into my clothes. Maffeo complained.

"Your solution is too draining, let me do it. Dominic nodded and motioned for Maffeo to put an end to his stupid and ridiculous actions. The latter lowered his hand and looked at Dominic, expecting to see in him some kind of novel "witchcraft".

The priests never chanted incantations, and Maffeo was glad not to hear incantations from their mouths like the one the witch had left on him as a child. Dominic simply gestured a few unintelligible gestures from Maffeo, and the golden light spread outward from his ten fingertips like a shallow veil, driving away all living things here.

Maffeo whistled, unable to hide the admiration in his words. "Well done, indeed, much more convenient than my method. ”

"Let's move on. Dominic just said lightly.

Indeed, it was nothing to him, and it was not even a simple exercise. While others are more or less interested in their abilities, Dominica has always warned them not to try to think too much of them. As Golantis often admonished him, although you have abilities that ordinary people can't achieve or even envy, you can't save everyone. If you don't find the right path, then your burden will get heavier and heavier. Yes, a true portrayal of every paladin.

There were many forks in the tunnel, and Maffeo, who was walking in front, was not sure which path to choose, and it was obviously unwise to separate from Dominic in this situation, so he seemed to be in a dilemma. "Do you know which way to go, priest?"

"Wait here. In a spacious position, Dominic squeezed sideways in front of Maffeo. Then stand still and make a series of complex gestures. This time it was no longer a veil-like glow, but a light that was so thick that it was almost impossible to breathe. Maffeo subconsciously took a step back, he didn't want to be wiped out by this light as a "heretic".

After a while, Dominic turned around and said to Maffeo. "Go to the left, and on the right is the road that leads to the homes of the other villagers. ”

"How do you know?" asked Maffeo with interest. "Is it because of that light?"

"The underground tunnels here are as complex as spider webs like the underground tunnels in Huttonmar. If you don't want to get lost, follow me. Dominic didn't answer Maffeo's question, but warned him.

"Listen to you, priest. Maffeo didn't want to ask, and pouted.

In the light of the candles, the two of them could see the image of the demon carved into the dirt in the secret passage, as well as some patterns that resembled a magic circle. The most conspicuous are the vivid images of the Pretenders that are depicted, and it seems that the people here do not know more specific information about the Pretenders, otherwise they would never have been deceived into choosing to believe in the Dark Order.

"Can you believe it?" said Maffeo, looking incredulously around the tunnels with the patterns carved into the dirt.

"It seems that the villagers carved it with their hands, but I didn't expect their faith to reach such a point. Dominic responded.

Indeed, it was not long before these patterns were engraved. Maffeo touched the pattern, and the damp dirt naturally stuck to his hands. He shook his hand with a look of disgust.

"The road ahead isn't easy, and if the villagers here support the Dark Order, then it's not good news for us. Dominic whispered.

Maffeo turned his head and said faintly. "I know what we're going to face if that happens, and I'm ready for that. ”

"We all are. ”
