Chapter 8: The Underground Vault of the Church
When night falls, the sky is full of stars.
In the backyard room of the Green River City Church, a simple but sumptuous dinner was placed on the table, and the food overflowing with temperature and fragrance made An Ling unable to hold back for a moment, and after sitting down under the table, he ate directly without a question mark.
Just this ordinary warm dinner, An Ling has not enjoyed it for many years. This feeling of excitement as a human being makes him extremely satisfied.
Isn't this what An Ling returned to the world as a human being? Compared to being a chaotic and chaotic demon in the abyss, the taste of being a human being is too happy.
Let's chirp~Let's chirp~
Some terrifying chewing and gnawing sounds came and went, and An Ling ate like a beast like a crazy food, making Hina and Roy at the table look at each other with doubts on their faces
After a long time, all the food on the table was swept away by him, and the black-haired boy stopped eating frantically, with an innocent and shy smile on his face.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I've been in the wild for too long, and I've rarely eaten a good meal, and I accidentally ate up your dinner, haha~"
Old Priest Roy adjusted his surprised expression, shook his head and smiled at An Ling:
"It's okay, Your Excellency An Ling, you can eat as much as you want, these dinners are nothing compared to your help. Ha ha. We won't go hungry either. ”
Xina nodded slowly, looked at An Ling calmly and said:
"Anling, I thought about it for a long time just now, and I think you have helped me a lot, and it is not good to continue to help me for free, it is too unfair to you. After all, it will waste so much of your time and energy. ”
"Do you have anything you need that we can give you? I want to do my best to compensate you somewhat,"
This priest of light is really exquisite...
An Ling squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and said unceremoniously:
"Okay, Sheena, if you have to pay me something, then I want the Light Flame Breathing Method, can you give it to me?"
"Photoflame breathing?"
Hina covered her mouth in surprise and wondered:
"Anling, haven't you determined your breathing method yet? Impossible, right? ”
In this world, warriors and mages have very different magical properties and extraction methods, and there are clear differences between the two. The mage practiced by meditation, and the magic was extracted from the spirit and stored in the soul. Warriors practice by breathing, and the magic is extracted from the blood body and stored in the heart.
And the meditation method, the breathing method is a method of refining by a magician, and it is also an important step to embark on the path of magic. Generally speaking, once a person has determined their breathing or meditation method, it is very difficult to change it, and it is becoming more and more difficult to change it.
Judging from An Ling's previous performance, Sheena is sure that An Ling is a powerful adventurer warrior, and it has been a long way to go on the path of magic power, and her own breathing method must have been determined. That's why she was so surprised when she heard that An Ling wanted the Holy Light Breathing Method.
"Not what you think."
An Ling smiled and said to her:
"I'm not trying to change the breathing method, I just want to read the photoflame breathing method. It's a small wish. ”
Sheena looked at Roy and said:
"Priest Roy, is there a scroll in the church that records the photoflame breathing method?"
The Light Flame Breathing Method is a breathing method used by the Holy Court to train the Holy Light Knights, the Light Warriors, and there are record scrolls in various churches. Although the Green River City Church is down, it should still be there.
Roy thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"Of course, there are scrolls, but they are all locked in the underground vault of the church, and the old priest didn't tell me about it before, and I don't know how to open the underground vault."
Sheena pursed her lips and said softly:
"The underground vault of the church is generally sealed with secret arts, and no one else can open it normally except for the clergy in the church. The same goes for the underground vault of the Green River City Church. ”
"But it's okay, the method of opening the secret vault is common in the sect, I should also be able to open the underground vault here, can you take me to see it later, the old priest?"
"Okay, Lord Priest."
Roy replied with a smile.
"I just made some extra bread that I wanted to save for tomorrow, and now I have it. I'm going to get it now. I'll take you there after dinner. ”
……
After the meal, Roy took An Ling and Hina to the entrance of an underground passage in the backyard of the church.
The entrance to this underground passage was overgrown with weeds and dust, and it was evident that even the old priest Roy had rarely been here.
"The underground vault is down there, and you can reach it in a while."
The old priest Roy raised the lantern in his hand, turned his head and said goodbye, and then took the initiative to enter the passage.
An Ling and Sheena kept up without slowing down.
Walk through a short staircase, a hallway. The three of them came to a closed stone door.
Hina used her magic power to light up a soft light source around her, walked in front of the stone gate, and stroked the exquisite lines on the stone door.
"I should be able to open it."
She clasped her hands together and closed her eyes in front of the stone door chanting an unknown magic.
It seems that it will take some time for Sheena to open the stone door.
An Ling turned his head and came to a dark corner where the light did not shine, and wiped his finger on the wall. Asked:
"Priest Roy, have you never been here before?"
"What's the matter, Your Excellency An Ling? Why do you suddenly ask that? ”
Roy, who was carrying a lantern, turned around, and the light shone on An Ling's body, and also illuminated the surroundings of An Ling, illuminating the already dark red blood stains on the walls and bottom plates.
There was only a small trace of blood, as if an injured man had docked here.
"Oh my God, there's blood here?"
Roy was surprised, and approached the lantern in disbelief.
"Because of the old priest's advice, I really haven't been here, what the hell is going on? Why is there blood here? ”
"Usually only old priests come here?"
Roy nodded and said:
"Yes, the old priest won't let us get close here, and everyone listens to him."
An Ling glanced at Xina and Shimen, and then asked:
"How did the old priest die violently? Can you tell me more about it? ”
It wasn't because of a little bloodstain that made An Ling wonder, but he could feel the things behind the stone gate very clearly, those abysses that An Ling was extremely familiar with, the aura of dark magic, and the smell of those monsters.
Roy's teeth chattered, and he said in astonishment:
"Your Excellency An Ling, are you saying that the death of the old priest has something to do with this?"
"This is impossible, the old priest passed away in the study, and when he died, there were no scars or blood stains on his body. The priest in the church said that he had an accident in meditation and his soul collapsed and died. How could it have anything to do with the Underground Vault? ”
"It's hard to say."
An Ling winked playfully, turned to look at the sacrificial girl and the stone gate in front of him, and slowly took off the big sword behind him.
