Chapter VIII: Theft
The temple's defenses have been in shape for thousands of years, and it is impossible to change it because of the rebellion of one or two minor characters like Allen. Moreover, the strongest combat power of the temple is generally cultivated by the temple since childhood, and the loyalty to the temple is extremely high, and it is impossible for someone who is too strong to apostasy and leave, and people who are not strong enough to leave, so naturally there is no need to guard against them coming back, they can't pass through the outermost outposts...... So when Alan infiltrated the temple, he encountered the same line of defense as he had been more than half a year ago! He easily bypassed dozens of traps, avoided several patrols, and easily jumped over the wall into Barrick's office!
The window of Barrick's office was open, and he never thought anyone would be able to jump in, right?
Alan stood in the office, his face not very good. He managed to get in, but unfortunately, Barrick wasn't in the office today, and his idea of running away after a violent murder was frustrated.
"Damn, no one...... Do you have to wait until next time?" said Alan with a gloomy face.
"Gollum. Little Gollum was also angry, but soon she was attracted by the sword hanging on the wall in the room, and her eyes became bright, "Gollum!" she screamed as she threw herself at a sword, her eyes shining with money......! Eren had spent a lot of money on medicinal herbs before, but he didn't have much money, so he took a sword he stole from the temple staff and sold it in exchange for money. Since then, Gollum has understood that these swords, swords and shields are things that can be exchanged for money!
"You money-hungry...... The things hanging here are actually not very good, at most they are fourth-order. Alan said he didn't care, but he quickly put away the sword on the wall. Remembering that Barrick had a habit of collecting treasures, he walked over to Barrick's table and reached for the tab of the drawer...... Pulled, didn't move, the box was locked.
Alan was silent. He knew that Barrick liked to collect things, which was a well-known 'secret' of the temple. I don't know if there are traps in the box of this drawer, if you can't pick the lock and make a noise, then you have to try it. But if you leave without looking at the contents, I'm too sorry to venture in...... "Gollum!" Gollum pointed to the entire table, making a motion to shove Allen's ring.
Cold sweat flowed from Allen's head, this table was more than ten meters long and more than two meters wide...... Little Gollum actually let herself take all the tables? How ruthless! She just thought about picking the lock, and Little Gollum is the real talented criminal! I have always regarded Little Gollum as a little guy with insufficient intelligence, and it seems that I am wrong!
Alan admired Little Gollum so much that he put the whole table away.
"Okay, right?" Alan asked.
Little Gollum shook his head, pointing to the tables, chairs, bookshelves, then chandeliers, and carpets next to him...... In Gollum's eyes, it's all money!
"You're ruthless. Alan gritted his teeth. Immediately afterward, he listened to the command of Little Gollum and put everything away. This little thing has sharp eyes, and nothing can escape her eyes. She was originally an elemental body, and as long as it contained elements, she could find it. If there is something like paper in the dark grid, she may not be able to sense it, but if it is something like a magic crystal, it will definitely not escape her eyes!
With the help of the goblin, Alan was lucky enough to find a dark grid. There are about two million gold coins in this dark compartment, as well as some pearls and precious stones. It stands to reason that Little Gollum can't find these things, but it just so happened that Barrick put an eighth-order fire-type demonic beast crystal nucleus in this small vault...... "It's okay now, right?" Alan looked at the little goblin in a cold sweat.
The goblin shook his head vigorously, and then pointed to the door with his little hand!
"You mean, let me steal it...... No, it's to 'take' someone else's stuff? I meant to kill, not steal...... Well, I listen to you. Alan smuttered, he had been frightened by the momentum of 'there is nothing but money' in Little Gollum's eyes.
Little Gollum stood on Alan's shoulder, pointing majestically and proudly ahead.
Under Gollum's guidance, Alan put the library, the magic laboratory, the offices of the other three cardinals, the offices of four of the seven holy knights, and the offices of several elders...... It's all looted! It only took more than ten minutes! The little goblin relied on his keen elemental perception to make Allen's more than ten spatial rings almost full!
It is estimated that no one in the temple would have thought that anyone would dare to break in and have the ability to break into the interior and steal things, so the outer defense is impregnable, and the inner defense is not worth mentioning...... In addition, it is nighttime, and there are almost no people on this floor of the temple, and no one has found out about Allen's theft until now!
Alan was walking down the aisle when he suddenly felt someone coming. He flicked his fingers unhurriedly and transformed into a cardinal.
"Bishop Kara, are you still there, aren't you gone......"
"What's the matter?" said Allen.
The seventh-order paladin looked at Allen with a respectful look: "It's nothing, I just remembered that there was something I didn't take......"
"Oh. "Allen's body accelerated violently, and in the unbelievable gaze of that paladin, the 'Light Human King Kara' burst out with a speed that surpassed that of ordinary martial human kings, and a hand knife slashed at his neck, knocking him down with one move!
"Gollum!" Gollum smiled and nodded, highly appreciating Allen's quick thinking and dexterity. Suddenly, she thrust her left hand and pointed her right hand sharply, pointing at the Pope's office.
"That room...... It's all here, fight! If you don't steal the Pope's things from the Pope, what's the point of coming in!"
"Gollum!" Gollum nodded earnestly, his eyes bursting with extreme fanaticism.
The duo of stealing and stealing heads to the Pope's office...... In the woods a few miles outside the temple, Sariye, the second of the Seven Holy Knights, and the Holy Knight Pachelel were walking this way.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the combat power of the seven holy knights of the temple is unfathomable, which is why they have the prestige of the seven holy knights. But in the eyes of those who have reached the upper level, only three of the seven holy knights can see it. They are Raphael, the 'Spirit of the Paladin', the 'self-domineering goddess of war' Sariet, and the 'Redeemer who can foresee the future' Michael, and these three are called the Three Paladins.
After learning all the general moves of the paladin, Pazirael bowed to the second paladin Sariya. Sally Ye is extremely talented, and she has the peak of the human king in her forties, and the strength close to the Holy Domain, which is already a legend. However, Pachelaire was more qualified than Sallyet, and it was expected that she would be able to reach Sallyet's forty by the age of thirty, even without outside help...... As soon as Pachelaire appeared, she was regarded by Sariet as her successor from God. She taught Pachelaire all her skills, and brought some hobbies and dreams with her...... For example, the idea of liking the sun god foal and dreaming of catching a fire unicorn as a riding pet, etc., was also instilled in Pachelaire.
Sariye is tall, about the same as Pachelel, about 1.75 meters. She was in her forties, but because of her peculiar cultivation, her appearance remained in her early twenties, and she looked as old as Pachelaire. The crisp breasts are tall and straight, the slender waist knows at a glance that there is an amazing tenacity, and the slender legs, which are more fat and less thin, indicating that she has leg strength that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
Although Pachelaire is outstanding, he still seems a little deficient in front of his mentor who is in the prime of life.
"Pachelaire, you met Feynman, the Fox King, on your last trip to the north, what kind of man is that, and what is his strength?" asked Sally.
Pachelaire walked beside her with the scarlet unicorn, thought for a moment and said, "He's a ...... A crazy man, when he wants to kill someone, he will be very resolute, and no one can stop him. But if he doesn't want to kill, no one can force him to do it. And he's strong. ”
"Powerful, how strong?" Sally was also interested. She had been on a mission before, and this was the first time she had spoken to Pachelel about it.
"Powerful to the point of invulnerability...... No matter what part of O'Neill's big knife slashed at him, he didn't feel it! My pulsating combination can easily kill the killer king, but there is no movement at all when I knock him down! Before, the fire unicorn also used a corner strike on him, and that time the fire unicorn had enough strength to knock him into the wall, but after he came out, he only felt a little pain in his abdomen from the top of the sharp corner, and he was not injured! This kind of defense is simply unheard of, I suspect that even if you go out and make one or two solid moves, I am afraid that it will not hurt him. Pachelaire said.
Pachelaire's words were at odds with the information Sally had recently received, and she frowned, "That's not right. I received information before that Feynman, the Fox King, and Reinhardt, the Lion King, had fought once......"
"How's it going?" said Pachelaire nervously.
Sally noticed Pachelaire's mood swing and looked a little strange: "Feynman won. His absolute strength is on par with Reinhardt, but his defense is a little less than Reinhardt's, so he fell to the bottom in the last fight. ”
"Absolute strength can be compared to that of the Lion King? This is impossible! When I fought with him against the Druid, his attack power was only average, and then he was entangled in the Holy Spirit Fruit Tree, and he couldn't get rid of those rattans, which also shows that his attack power is average. But his defense was amazing, and he was hit dozens of times, even one of which was a fire unicorn's wrestling strike, and my pulsating combo...... He wasn't hurt in the slightest!Reinhardt was powerful, but his absolute attack power and my pulsating combined attack were estimated to be only half a pound or eight taels, and he could hurt Feynman?" Pachelaire looked incredulous.
"Are there two Feynmans, one with a strong attack and one with an invincible defense?" said Sally.
Pachelaire thought for a moment and shook his head, "Impossible. If there were really two Feynmans, the Fox Clan would be on par with the Elephant Clan...... By the way, teacher, isn't Feynman the Fox King inferior to Reinhardt? Why did he win in the end?"
"It was because of the injury medicine, both of them were injured, but Feynman directly took out the strange injury medicine and ate it, and the injury was mostly healed. Although Reinhardt is one line stronger than him, Reinhardt, who is seriously injured, is no match for Feynman, the fox king who is in a slightly injured state. Sally explained.
Pachelaire was struck by lightning...... The best wound medicine?
Feynman, like that man, is also a master of alchemy!
"Pachelaire?"
"How. ”
"What were you thinking?"
"No, it's just shocking that there will be alchemy masters in the fox clan. Pachelel did not dare to express her speculation, after all, it was too unrealistic, and she herself was very skeptical.
"It's not certain whether he is a master of alchemy, but he is an attack powerhouse, there is no doubt about it. I suspect he has two states, one is the attack state with the strongest attack power, and the other is the defense state. But it doesn't matter. Now that you've developed my 'strength', the next time you fight the Orc Alliance, it's up to you to deal with the 'Fox King Feynman'." He is the one who defeated Reinhardt, and if you can slay him, you will surely increase our prestige. Sally said lightly, as if it were a matter of course for her that Pachelel had killed Feynman, the Fox King.
The two of them passed by the practice ground, where dozens of wooden stakes one or two meters thick with a circle of straw ropes were tied to the outside.
Sally's palm lightly touched a wooden stake, and with a slight vibration of her hand, the wooden stake more than two meters thick broke from it and flew out more than a hundred meters away!
This is the 'power' of Sariet!'
Pachelaire looked at Sally calmly, not surprised by this, because ...... She's also recently mastered this power!
'Let me kill him?' Pachelaire remembered the scene in the cavern, where Eren grabbed her feet and kissed her, and her expression was very complicated.
