Although it wasn't Warhammer who was working, he ran to Maffeo's side and made a fuss. He watched as Maffeo picked at the mutant's rotting flesh with his greatsword with his greatsword, expecting what the other party could find in its body. Blackburn turned his head to the other side, unwilling to watch the horrific scene. Even though the voices made him shudder.

To live and to die, to destroy and to be reborn. None of this had anything to do with mutants, but its own existence was a condition for the barrier to meet the rules, which was the conclusion that Maffeo eventually came to the conclusion. Aside from the stinking, decaying flesh of its body, Maffeo had not been able to find anything that would help it pass through the barrier.

Waiting for the arrival of the priests became the only option, and the most frustrated person was naturally Warhammer, who walked to the position where he had crouched and looked down at the ground. "I hate those guys, but they're the ones who pay me. ”

"It's good that you understand that, so don't get into any conflict with them. A disappointed Maffeo put his greatsword in his scabbard and reminded. "They don't even need to be name-calling, although they don't care about other people's abuse. ”

"Why should I scold them? If that solves the problem, I wish it could. Warhammer spread his hands.

"It's better not to, here's my advice to you. Maffeo stepped over the mutant's corpse and walked over to the barrier once more, reaching out to feel the endless coldness. He didn't know the point of such a move, but it seemed to be the only way he could kill time at the moment. Perceiving the existence of the barrier with his heart was what Maffeo thought in his heart.

The icy rain had made Blackburn eager to find a fireplace to get into, and now he didn't care if he was roasted or not. He only knew that his body was shivering because of the cold, and he stood up from the spot trembling and said tremblingly. "I ...... I guess it's a little bad......"

"We're all the same, little Eugene. Warhammer whispered in response.

"Don't you think we need something to warm ourselves up?" asked Blackburn.

Warhammer stood up and turned back. "Sure, would you like a bottle of Dark City Spirits?"

Blackburn shook his head, "I guess it's better to forget it, I don't drink." ”

Maffeo, who was standing in front of the barrier, suddenly turned his head, and at the same time, the teasing movements of the warhammer in front of Blake himself froze in mid-air. The former stared in amazement at the sudden change in front of him, and before he could react, Maffeo walked up to Warhammer and whispered. "Someone is coming. ”

"I know. Warhammer replied. "The sound of neat footsteps, I'm sure it's those of the priesthood. Damn, they're coming so fast. ”

"The sooner they come in for the current situation, the better. ”

"Yes, yes. Warhammer reluctantly agreed.

Opening the way for the priesthood was the exorcists' faithful servant, Xuanwu, who emerged from the bushes and let out a wary growl at the trio who had arrived earlier. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was not an ordinary creature, the warhammer would have rushed up and knocked that guy to the ground on his back. Unexpectedly, the next one to emerge from the bushes was an exorcist, who shook his thick black hair and called for Xuanwu to return to his side.

Well, that creature is really obedient. Warhammer spat disdainfully, and whispered a barrage of cursed words. It's all against Xuanwu, he doesn't like that creature, anyone can tell.

The three of them soon saw the familiar but annoying figure, Dominic, dressed in a wide shawl, emerging from the bushes. He ignored the exorcist's warning to him and headed straight for Maffeo. Of course, this was his style, and he never paid attention to the words of the exorcists. "I thought you would arrive later than we did. ”

"We're not followers of the Order. Warhammer responded.

"Of course, but why are you drinking with the Dark Order here, not in the church?" Dominic joked with his arms folded, with a serious expression.

"I would have liked to do so, but as you can see, there is a barrier blocking our path. Maffeo nodded in the direction of the church.

Dominic whistled playfully, "Interesting, so actually our arrival is something that Mr. Mask would like to see, I can understand that, right?"

"You're right. Warhammer said.

"Then let's wait a little longer. Dominic waved his hand and stood there looking in the direction behind him. He hadn't even called the exorcist out of the dirty bushes, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was wary of the three of them, reluctant to make too close contact with them.

The procession of the clergy soon appeared at the other end of the bushes, and through the rain and fog, the three of them could already see the towering figures and the outline of the cross. As the other party approached, Dominic kept pacing back and forth, ignoring all the rain that slapped on him.

Golantis was the first to lead the group, and behind her were the Paladins of Huttonmar, temporarily led by Evie, with the Exorcists on either side of the group, and at the back of the group were the members of the Inquisition, just two men wrapped in gray robes. They were probably the only ones in the entire team who didn't have to be ordered by Golantis, of course, only after the official war with the Dark Order.

The exorcist in the bushes trotted to the head of the group and reported to Golantis. Dominic, on the other hand, watched his every move with cold eyes, his disdainful eyes swept over his body over and over again. Blackburn and Warhammer were whispering, and even Maffeo couldn't help but want to hear what they were saying. There is no doubt that they are not speaking ill of the clergy, they are just curious about how these guys act.

"Do you want to expel them?" asked Evie in a whisper to Golantis. "I'm referring to them if they might get in the way of our plans. ”

"Don't do that just yet. Golantis replied.

"I see. ”

Golantis motioned for the group to stop, and she herself walked briskly in front of the three. She deliberately glanced at Dominic, who disguised himself as an intently observer of the barrier, avoiding Golantis' gaze. "Hello, Miss Golantis. As a courtesy, Maffeo said hello.

"I didn't expect you to be involved in this incident. Golantis smiled helplessly.

"I volunteered. ”

"Of course, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, I'm just trying to tell you that it's dangerous to get involved, and you have to be prepared for it. ”

Maffeo nodded, "I know, thank you for your concern." ”

"Tell us about the barrier, then. Golantis' gaze went over Maffeo's shoulder and behind him.

Maffeo turned, facing the barrier, and spoke. "We've tried a number of things, and it's certain that we can't physically break that barrier. Before that, I had killed two mutants, and they had unimpeded access barriers, but I couldn't find anything useful in them. So I guess their bodies themselves are eligible to pass through the barrier. ”

"Are there any other discoveries?" asked Golantis.

"No, I'm not like you after all. To truly understand the nature of that barrier, it would take the power of the clergy and the magicians. Maffeo shook his head regretfully.

"Well, we'll find a way to lift that barrier, after all, its existence affects us as well. Golantis emphasized. "But you must ensure that it does not interfere with our operations, or I am afraid that when the time comes, I will not be able to keep the people of the Inquisition from attacking you. ”

"We'll take notice. "Maffeo watched the ranks of the priests out of the corner of his eye, and he didn't see the guys from the Inquisition. But he could feel that the other person was watching him. [.]
