Chapter 229: The Lamp Keeper

Amber City.

Inner City.

The church, which originally belonged to the Red Apple Church, has long since changed its appearance, and after the transformation of the professional construction team, the exterior has lost its original spire-like style, but has become a simple and atmospheric rectangle.

In the central part of the church, a hemispherical canopy protrudes and is carved with spiral patterns, and the portico in front of the main door stands four white marble columns.

The leveled outer courtyard also has a large number of but not high steps, which spread all the way to the fenced gate.

It has become the church of the Church of the Sun.

But for a long time after the alternation, it was not opened, on the one hand, because of the construction and renovation, and on the other hand, because the clergy were not in place in time.

At this moment, the doors were open, and the Church of the Sun began to accept the arrival of believers.

In one of the prayer rooms, nine monks, dressed in white robes and gold-striped shoulders, looked up and listened to a bald man.

This is the "Lantern Keeper Squad" who have just arrived in Amber City.

"The executioners of the asylum are in place one step ahead of us, and the 'Purple Moonlight' of the Moon Church will arrive a little later......"

The bald man's voice was strong and loud, his eyes were very bright, and his inadvertent eyes made people feel convinced and in awe.

He was the captain of this squad, named Wizz, and had served as a deputy under Archbishop Terrence.

"If it hadn't been for the ambush in Sunflower City and the delay of a little time, maybe we could have set off earlier...... Fortunately, the church helped us to locate the fugitive 'Biles', and it was not too late. ”

The bald Wiz took out a magnifying glass, stroked it lightly twice, and continued:

"I've had a brief conversation with the captains of the other two teams, and the result of the discussion is ...... Tomorrow evening, the action begins. ”

He glanced around with a straight face, then finally stretched out a finger to draw an arc in front of him, and finally lightly touched his brow to make a prayer gesture.

"Father Lie above."

The other team members did not speak, their expressions were serious, and after listening carefully to the captain's instructions, they just made a prayer gesture and lowered their heads:

"Praise the sun."

The bald captain nodded, and then spoke:

"But between today and tomorrow evening, we can't do nothing, it's a waste of time, and we will be rejected by the sun god......"

He took a few steps forward and came to the team, whose eyes were fixed on him and turned their heads.

"Our round-up is just one of them. Before leaving, Archbishop Terrence told me a secret message that Brother Ferry, who had defected from the Church a year earlier, had been here, but had been accidentally murdered......"

Wizz said, doubts flashed in the eyes of the other team members, I don't know what the captain said about this apostate, although the plot is bad, but a [Sequence 8] monk is not worthy of their attention.

"Brother Philip is not really an apostate, he has only secretly accepted the secret mission of the Church, which is to find the whereabouts of the former Pope Martin Gustu......"

The bald head turned his back to the rest of the team.

The others couldn't help but look at each other, and the expressions on their faces became more solemn.

"Captain Wizz, Martin's crown wasn't ...... decades ago"

One of the team members hesitated.

"No, when the rebellion in the royal city was suppressed, His Majesty the former Pope did not die, but he only quietly left the Church and disappeared......

In recent years, the turmoil in the spiritual world and the imminent movement of various forces have made it difficult for the Sun Royal Family to take charge of high-end forces, but they don't want to make a big splash, so the church will send a low-level monk to secretly look for it.

Brother Philip took away the [B-Class Artifact - Fireworks in the Palm], which was the creation of His Majesty Martin's youth and was able to have a faint connection with it...... But now, Ferry is dead, and we can't let this thing go, we must take it back! ”

The bald captain said categorically.

"No wonder ......"

The rest of the team figured out a lot in an instant.

"Through the intelligence, it is known that after the death of Brother Philip, the [Fireworks in the Palm] has changed hands several times, and now it has fallen into the hands of a local transcendent organization called the 'Circus', which is owned by its leader, Jack."

The bald head turned around, with a solemn expression on his face.

"Nick, Charlize and Bull, the three of you are going now, and by tomorrow evening, you must complete Operation Trick Recovery!"

"Yes!"

The three team members who were named stood up and replied coldly.

But as soon as they walked out of the door of the prayer room, they were stopped by Captain Wizz:

"Wait a minute."

The three of them stopped and turned to look at the captain.

The bald Wizz's eyes flashed with thought, and he immediately turned his head to the remaining team members and said:

"To be on the safe side, everyone is involved, including me!"

Spiritual realm.

In the light blue distorted vision, the outline of Amber City can already be seen.

There were twelve members of the Purple Moonlight team, and they were flashing rapidly in that direction.

"I don't really want to be a part of this operation......"

A young female team member in a dark purple cloak spoke.

The slim-fitting cloak lifted in the wind, revealing a full moon behind it.

"Don't say anything like that in the future, Serra."

The tall and thin man at the head turned around and said coldly.

"It's an order from the church, and we just have to obey it."

"Captain Byers, he's not a traitor! We have followed Him for so many years and will never believe that He would betray the Church! ”

The woman named Sierra continued, in a bad tone.

"Byers Wolf is no longer your captain! He attacked the Church of the Sun without authorization, seized the treacherous things, and has been stripped of his position by the church! ”

The tall and thin captain scolded.

"But we shouldn't have been involved in the roundup!"

Another male member retorted.

"In the face of the captain who fought side by side in the past, how can I make a move......

A flash of pain flashed in his eyes.

"Captain Pope, can you understand how we feel......? Mr. Biles, who has saved my life countless times, is now asking me to draw a knife against him?! ”

A tall, thin man named Pope glanced at the team and saw that they were in a very depressed mood, apparently resisting the round-up.

He was secretly distressed, and he couldn't figure out why the church would let him lead the team.

What all the players don't know is that in fact, Pop has a good relationship with Byers in private, and can be regarded as friends, and if he can, he doesn't want to make a move on Byles.

But the attack on the Church of the Sun, which killed forty-eight transcendent monks, killed nearly two hundred clergy innocently, and took away the treachery of the other party's guards like robbers, this crime is too great!

"Biles, all I can do is save your life as much as possible......"

Pop sighed.

Three elite transcendent squads joined forces to round up, and Biles couldn't have any chance of winning, unless he was now promoted by luck and became a high-rank sage [Sequence 4 - Ferryman]......

But this is almost impossible, and the sanctification ceremony is like a barrier there.

The best outcome that Popper could have foreseen was to gain the right to dispose of it and press Byers back to the Moon Church to imprison him for the rest of his life.

But even that is difficult...... Because the Church of the Sun is the head of the Seven Orthodox Churches, it is both powerful and powerful, not to mention the asylum with royal support watching from the sidelines.

These two forces are one.

"Cheer up! Don't forget who you are, we are the 'Purple Moonlight', the most important sword of the Church! Obeying orders and completing tasks is what we should do! ”

Pop shouted solemnly.

The team has arrived at the high-walled street of Amber City in the spirit world, and they only need to exit the spirit world from here to return to the present world.

Then Pop suddenly stopped.

The team members behind him also stopped.

In the blurred blue vision of the spirit realm, the street leading to the city gate of Amber City was empty, but a figure shrouded in a purple nun's suit blocked the way, as if it had been waiting for a long time.

She was tall and tall, and her nun dress was plain and unmarked, except for her lower abdomen with her hands folded, and a silver moon ornament hanging from her hand.

"Sister Bright Moon ......?!"

Pope stepped forward, first surprised, and then saluted respectfully.

The members of the Purple Moonlight Team also saluted, but there were puzzled expressions on their faces.

Sister Kyaukyue is a saint living in a "hermitage", a servant of the gods who serve the moon god, they live in seclusion, but their status is equivalent to that of the archbishop, except for the occasional appearance, they are almost invisible.

Why is Her Majesty the Bright Moon waiting here?

The unnamed Sister Kyaukyue always kept her head down, and everyone could not see his appearance clearly, and they could only vaguely catch a glimpse of the white nose and face of the crown.

"Team 4 Purple Moonlight, please listen to the oracle."

His voice came out of his mouth soft, but majestic.

Everyone, including Pope, was taken aback.

Oracle?!

They couldn't remember how many years they hadn't heard the moon god send down an oracle!

Crash!

The dark purple cloak waved, and everyone in the Purple Moonlight Team suddenly knelt on the ground, making prayer gestures in their hands.

Sister Kyaukyue continued:

"The team will be back immediately, and there will be another mission scheduled."

When everyone in the team heard this, they felt joy spontaneously, they didn't have to hunt down Captain Biles!

"Yes...... How should the Biles case be resolved? ”

Then Pop looked up and asked.

The team members behind him threw angry eyes at him, what does this airborne captain want to do?!

"Don't worry about it anymore."

After Sister Kyaukyue finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the silver moon bracelet rattled.

His figure vanished.

Pope stood up, glanced at Amber City, which was close at hand, and then turned his head to see the eyes of the team members who faintly excluded him, and sighed secretly.

"We ...... Let's go back. ”

The Ten Lamp Guards team walked unhurriedly, through the bustling neighborhoods and crowds, and headed straight for Jack's Manor.

They seemed out of place in the city, but no one was paying attention along the way, even if passers-by passed by them, as if no one could see them.

Until the ten stopped at the door of Jack's Manor.

"Captain Wizz, how to act?"

One of the team members asked.

The bald head was expressionless, and said coldly:

"No need to negotiate, direct suppression, and kill those who obstruct it."

"Yes!"

Wizz led the team into the manor, and the group was extremely fast, almost in a few breaths, before they came to the door of the deepest villa.

The door was open, and there was a faint sound of laughter and conversation inside.

The bald captain's body lit up with dazzling light, like a source of light and heat emitting sunlight, the scorching breath dispersed, and the air around him for tens of meters became extremely hot.

The nine team members behind him were unaffected, their eyes were cold, and their bodies were full of swaying flames.

This is a [dervishe] squad, the most terrifying knife force of the Church of the Sun, and no elite transcendent can resist their attack head-on.

The bald head Wizz didn't say a word, and led the team directly into the villa.

He wants to suppress the target with thunder as fast as he can, and take back the [Fireworks in the Palm]!

But when they entered the hall, they saw a strange scene.

A young man in a black hat was sitting on a sofa with several young men and women, chatting and laughing, eating afternoon tea, looking leisurely and relaxed, ignoring their arrival.

It feels like ...... Treat them as air.

Along the way before, ordinary people couldn't see them because of the characteristics of [Ascetic], which can reduce their sense of existence...... But the other party is obviously extraordinary, and it is impossible not to notice it!

The Lamp Keeper squad hasn't been arrogant enough to that extent.

"Captain, something seems wrong......"

A member of the team behind him said hesitantly.

Wizz frowned and was silent, he confirmed that the people in front of him were Jack and his subordinates, but why did this strange scene occur now?

He vigilantly examined his surroundings, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Scold!

Wizz raised his hand, and a golden flame ignited, and he tentatively threw it away, and the ultra-high fireball flew straight towards Jack.

If it is contaminated, the fire of the sun will burn the other party in an instant.

"Let's see, what the hell are you doing."

The bald head said lightly.

Suddenly, a small white figure stood up from the sofa, raised its claw and pointed lightly, and the golden fireball stopped in mid-air, as if time and space stood still.

The little white cat Bib gracefully jumped to the top of the sofa, and with a pair of amber eyes, he quietly watched the lamp guard team.

Gazing at ...... Lead: Wizz.

Wizz felt a tingling pain in his eyes, and his face suddenly changed, and he immediately lowered his head.

Even if it was just a glimpse, his vision was already blurred by tears, and his eyeballs were about to pop out of his sockets at any time...... This is still because the other party did not show his body, but only attached to a domestic cat.

Don't look directly at God!

Wizz's mind was in a mess.

He could clearly feel the fear and panic in his subconscious, the fear of a higher being, the intuitive warning of the transcendent, and the surrender of his body's instincts.

Consciousness was protesting, disturbing his thoughts.

Why?!

Why did He come here?!

"Venerable Cat God, please forgive us for our offense......"

Wizz knelt down on one knee, bowed his head deeply, and said in a hoarse, trembling voice.

At the same time, his hand touched the warm blood, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

In the afterglow, I could already see the corpses of the team members, their eyes were hollow, and they were bleeding bright red blood, and they were already dead.

When......?!

Why is there no sound ......?!

I didn't even know anything!!

Wizz's heart was furious.

It turned out that one glance just now...... It's already ......

"Forgiveness? Why are you Sun Church all bullying the weak and afraid of the hard? ”

The little white cat speaks.

"Alright, let's die quickly, waste Ben Meow's time."

He raised his cat's paw, and the golden fireball that stood still in mid-air suddenly shrank into a small spark and flew straight into the center of Wiz's brow.

Rumble!

The bald Witz grew his mouth and instantly turned into a golden humanoid pillar of fire.

He never imagined that one day he would be burned to death by the fire of the sun.

"Destiny ......"

The little white cat sneered.
