Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Lord and God
By the time the knights reacted, they had become turtles in an urn.
Lias and his reconnaissance team spotted the intruders in tin armor early on, and they quietly wrapped the group of people in dumplings.
Ordinary people, even well-trained knights, are as powerless as chicks in front of the "capable".
With just one face, these knights were all captured alive and sent to the base of the "Divine Sleep".
When Mamba saw the knights he had brought back, he casually asked, "You are the servants of Cardinal April?" ”
His words shocked the knights, and the only reason the knight captain could think of was, "Lord Kathras sent someone to communicate with you?" ”
Mamba laughed and said, "No, he didn't tell us. Your cardinal has been captured by us, and the rest of the knights have been disarmed, but I didn't expect you to find it. ”
"What?" The knight captain's eyes widened and said, "How could Lady Aprilier be caught by you, you liar!" ”
Mamba waved his hand: "What am I lying to you for, well, now you are our captives, stay here for the time being." ”
……
Tang Hao was not interested in this knight team, and keeping them was just a delaying measure.
He was more concerned about what the existence of the god of fire worshipped by the Vulcan Sect.
He had tested April's attributes, and like Bishop Mambus, their basic stats were no different from those of a normal person.
So why they can manipulate the flames and perform skills similar to divine magic is very intriguing.
As for the "holy book", in the words of the base's intelligent lieutenant, it is nothing more than an ordinary book soaked in flammable grease.
The oracles, the sayings, and the beautiful picture books written on them are just decorations, and the only thing that does is to ignite them with a little open fire.
It would be appropriate for the people of the Vulcan Church to use this kind of book as a weapon.
Even so, how to control the pages of the book and how to control the burning flames is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
However, the base intelligence lieutenant quickly gave an explanation: "Your Excellency, Commander, since we have encountered the ice elemental and the dark elemental, is it possible to ......?"
"In their eyes, fire is the fire element, and the ability used by these clergy of the Holy See is to manipulate the fire element?"
Tang Hao felt that this world had gone further and further, and even the ability to control the fire element had come out, and this was a Vulcan cultist, who was simply a flame magician.
Having said that, this is the only explanation that can be understood now, although Tang Hao can't imagine what kind of existence such a thing as magic is in the world of science, but existence is reasonable, maybe he will send someone to the Vulcan Sect to study hard in the future.
……
In the carriage, Aprill has changed into the same basic set as the "Journey to the Underworld", and there is a layer of rags on the outside, which perfectly blends into the "caravan".
When this was done, Daniel found a place to dismantle the carriage, and the horses that pulled it were released, and the team went back on foot, but there was one more person in the group.
Aprile was a little puzzled by their behavior: "What the hell are you going to do?" Kill if you want to, don't think I'm going to give in! ”
"Who said they were going to kill you?" Fran laughed and said, "We just took you with us as a talisman. ”
"Anyway, you have thin arms and thin legs, you can't run if you want to, it's too convenient to take care of."
Cha Mo also came over and said: "Yes, yes, don't think about running, if you run, we will say that you have betrayed the Vulcan Church, and when the time comes, you will not want to wash it away if you jump into the Yellow River!" ”
April snorted: "Even if I die, I am a loyal believer of the god of fire, don't try to pour dirty water on me!" ”
Jokes aside, Fran finally said seriously, "I know that your faith is not to be blasphemed, and so are we." ”
"The Lord we believe in has nothing to do with your god of fire, so I also said that we are simply well water and not river water, and you are all asking for your own hardships."
"On our trip, we just wanted to collect some intelligence and corresponding supplies in 'Flame' City, and we were not interested in you Hobruns and the Vulcan Holy See at all."
"Besides, I'll tell you one more thing," Fran said, holding out a finger, "the knightly team you sent to Lord Cathras's territory has also been captured by us. ”
Aprile looked at her in disbelief, then immediately shook his head and said, "No, it's impossible, even if something happened to them, how did you get the news?" ”
Cha Mo proudly said, "This is one of the powers of our Lord, how about it?" Much better than your god of fire, right? ”
Not to be outdone, April said: "The power of the god of fire is not something you mortals can imagine, wherever there is fire burning, it is the god of fire who controls the flames!" ”
"You can survive in this world because the god of fire ignites the flame of hope for you, and your lord is just a false god!"
The others were in good tempers, and when Chamo heard her slandering the "Lord", he almost went up and screwed April's head off.
"If you let me hear it again, if you dare to speak wildly to our lord, I will show you what cruelty is!" She said viciously.
……
Despite being stopped by Fran, Cha Mo and April still quarreled along the way, and it took another five or six days for the group to stop and go, and finally came to the outside of the "Flame" city.
Seeing the burning city from afar, Owo felt a little kind, and she sniffed the sulfur in the air and said:
"Wow, this feels familiar, I like this smell the most, I wonder what the hell is burning in this 'flame' city?"
Catherine thought the smell was too strong, and she even put on the mask of the multi-purpose suit.
"Don't you think it tastes a little wrong? I'm worried about whether the smell is poisonous. Catherine said with some concern.
Fran looked at the "individual monitoring watch" on her wrist and saw that the little green man on the LCD screen had really begun to turn yellow-green.
"This air is really poisonous!" Fran hurriedly put on a mask: "It's good that Catherine found out in time, otherwise we would all be poisoned." ”
Daniel, Cha Mo and Owo, who were in good health, didn't notice anything wrong, but Owo sniffed more and more: "Fran, you're making too much of a fuss, aren't you?" What kind of poisonous gas is this, you smell it, it tastes good. ”
