Chapter 423: Darkness Strikes (I)
Unlike the twilight forest, which is shrouded in mist all year round, the sky is clear and the sky is clear, and the warm light shines on the endless sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The mountains are tall and steep, like dense forests, the gray peaks are like sharp swords piercing straight into the sky, and countless scale clouds are spreading like waves towards the eastern edge.
Such a magnificent spectacle is rare in the present world, and even with Charon's mind, he can't help but be attracted to stop.
The rocky peaks ahead were steep and boundless, and the terrain was rugged and complex, and he somewhat understood why the Alliance had been difficult to exterminate the Church of Light, and the Church of Light was not much worse than the Dark Race in its ability to choose hiding places.
"Brother, is Illya good-looking?"
Illya was dressed in a black gown, walking around with the hem of her skirt lifted, as beautiful as a finely carved work of art, and her star-bright eyes hid an indescribable meaning.
Charon nodded faintly, after he transformed his attributes into darkness, his sister's mood seemed to have become extremely happy, and she always had a charming and sweet smile on her face.
"Let's go, don't waste time, we must find the stronghold of the church as soon as possible. ā
"Follow your wishes. ā
After Illya's response, Charon took the lead in stepping out, the black flames that lingered on his robe vanished into the air, and the strong evil power also quickly faded.
In fact, even if all the breath was constricted and suppressed back into his body, the changes that had occurred in his body were still obvious, whether it was the tyrannical red light in his eyes, or the temperament that made people feel dangerous.
The killing intent in his heart is the Dark Knight's greatest characteristic, although he can suppress it, he can't completely eliminate the impact, after all, he just killed a river of blood some time ago.
However, the conversion attribute was decided after careful consideration, in addition to being able to disguise his true identity in the action, or to do some kind of experiment.............
The vegetation coverage of the 100,000 Rock Peak is much lower than that of the twilight forest, but it also has a certain scale at the foot of the mountain, and the dark green trees are entrenched in patches, forming a natural barrier to hide the tracks.
Under the shade of the trees, more than thirty people were sitting and resting, including knights in silver armor and white-robed spellcasters, but the power they exuded was clean and full of life.
Those who possess this trait in the long mountains and forests are undoubtedly members of the Church of Light, whose task is to deliver supplies and ensure that they reach another church properly.
In order to prevent the secretly established church from being destroyed by the alliance powers, the church took great pains to place its strongholds far apart, so the use of teleportation arrays was extremely costly, and in order to save limited resources and allow church members to adapt to the mountainous environment, they would occasionally send teams to deliver some inconsequential supplies.
Leading a team on such a mission for the first time, Father Kenneth was quite stressed at first, but after so many hardships, his state of mind has become calm and condensed.
After eating the special bread in his hand, Kenneth closed his eyes, drew a cross on his chest, and praised the gift of the true God from the bottom of his heart.
Kenneth's slender face was bronzed, with a few wrinkles of resolute edges, and his expression was solemn and solemn, and he was known to have a strong belief in light.
Others finished their lunches one after another and simply prayed regularly, but none were able to use a few passages of the Bible as Kenneth did.
Half an hour later, Kenneth opened his eyes, and saw that everyone else was waiting for his command, and he bowed his head and said, "Dear believers of the Lord, the place of the Light is not far away, and we will set out now, and try to arrive before dark." ā
"Yes, Priest!"
The spirits of the people in the dust and dust were lifted, and after getting up and saluting, someone went to drive the carriage, and there was no chance to rest well during the bumpy road for most of the month, if you could enter the church early, take a good bath, and relieve the solidified and knotted hair.
The vigorous crowd was quickly sorted out, the Knights of Light scattered to the periphery, and a few weaker spellcasters rode into the carriage like Kenneth, and at the end was the iron ore that was transported this time, an ore from the mountains that could be used to polish and repair weapons.
"Let's go!"
After hearing the low order of the knight captain Dick, who led the team, the members suddenly looked solemn, and the whole team slowly moved forward in silence.
At this moment, a young man with fiery red hair quietly came to Dick's side and reminded him in a low voice, "Master Dick, do you remember to fulfill the promise between us and teach me true swordsmanship. ā
Steve bared a mouthful of neat white teeth and looked up at Dick on horseback expectantly, he really wanted to become a disciple of the Great Knight and undergo more rigorous training.
"Steve, the mission isn't done yet, you're ready to slack off?!"
The middle-aged knight Dick glared at the young man, but thinking of the other party's hardships and tenacity along the way, the stern look on his face still eased, "You don't have to worry about swordsmanship, after arriving at the Seventh Church, I will naturally teach you, and now you still focus on the task." ā
"Yes, I'm going to do my best!" Steve smiled, pressed the cross sword at his waist, and strode towards the partner who was waiting for him.
Partner Aiden directly hit Steve's shoulder armor with his elbow, urging: "It's better to hurry up and change shifts, otherwise Jesse and the two of them will complain again." ā
Steve nodded, and the two of them broke away from the group and ran into the forest, they were going to the front to replace their fellow investigators, but the two guys hadn't eaten yet.
The two of them ran through the woods like swift leopards, silver boots flashing through the leaves and tapping on the ground.
The cool wind was blowing in his face, and the surrounding scenery was also speeding backwards in his field of vision, and Steve couldn't help but smile at the thought of a certain fat knight holding his stomach and sighing.
It's just that this smile didn't last long, and when he and his partner came to the front line of reconnaissance and gave a signal but no one responded, his heart sank, knowing that something must have happened.
Glancing at Aiden, the two drew their swords and slowly retreated in their original directions.
Suddenly his surroundings were eerily quiet, the light through the shade of the trees seemed to cast a shadow, and Steve's sword-gripping hand was oozing sweat, and he could hear his heart beating.
Is it a heretical knight from the Alliance, or a rare monster, or is it some dark race hostile to the Church who has come for revenge?
Steve guessed wildly, his mood seemed to be stirred by some kind of force, and he began to lose his peace.
A crisp metallic sound sounded, like a prelude to the curtain opening, but Steve didn't notice any trace of the enemy until he instinctively turned his head to look behind him, only to spot the black-robed man coming out of the dense forest.
Charon held the captured cross sword in his hand, and flicked the blade of the sword with his fingers as he went, forcibly pouring wisps of dark power into it, and he didn't pay much attention to the reaction of the two church knights as if they were facing a great enemy.
Steve secretly gestured to his companion, and he walked forward brazenly, a white and translucent light burst out from the armor, he could feel the continuous surging of the source power in his body, and his mouth couldn't help but let out a sonorous cry, and his pace became faster and faster.
When his companion launched a fearless attack, Aiden took out a three-inch cylinder from the leather bag on his waist, and suddenly pulled the base hard, and the short arrow cluster in the cylinder was immediately activated.
As long as Graham's arrow can shoot into the sky, it can spread the fluctuations that the team perceives, so that the priest is ready for battle, so that even if the two of them die in battle, they can be regarded as worthy of the cultivation of the church.
Charon could naturally see the decisive move of the two, so his fingers popped out again, and with a clear ding, Black Flame injected the already overwhelmed cross sword along his fingernails.
Dense black patterns clinged to the sword, and then the entire sword burst into pieces and shot at the two knights!
The first one was Steve, who only saw a flash of black light, and the whole person lost all his strength and fell forward.
In the midst of the whirlwind, his face smashed directly to the ground, and after rolling a few times, the chaotic picture in his eyes froze.
In the distance, Aiden's body was also splitting, and in the gorgeous burst of blood, parts of the head, arms, and torso fell to the ground one after another.
Steve tried to speak, but his throat seemed to be choked, and the world in his eyes quickly became bloody.
He is not reconciled, he also wants to become a disciple of the Great Knight, become a better Knight of Light, and prove himself to the girl he loves.........
Countless thoughts poured out one after another, and it was probably the first time that the young Knight of Light had been so clear about his heart, but his brain activity was declining towards the deep valley.
In the cascading illusions, he saw the black boots encrusted with rubies walking by, and the terrifying black flames distorted the air, and until the end of his life, he could not see the back of the enemy.
