The parish sun is just right in the morning.

Ning He walked through the streets of the parish, where there were few pedestrians, and there was no noise of Zegar as the royal capital, and there was a little more tranquility.

Chu Xue beside him looked around, curiously looking at the buildings on both sides of the street, their shapes were different and had different functions.

Chu Xue sighed: "It's very good here." ”

"Indeed."

Ning He nodded, and the two of them walked through three blocks, and soon came to the center of the diocese, the square that occupied a huge area.

The square is swaying in the wind and the trees are waves. On the bench two days ago, Sid was still sitting in place, his eyes falling on the woods across the road. Zhu Yaotang had already arrived, and was standing with Douglas Adams chatting in a low voice, when he saw Ning He coming, waved at him, and grinned.

"Coming?"

Ning He nodded, and he first bowed to the Pope who was sitting on the bench and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your token, you have helped me a lot in the past two days." ”

Chu Xue, who was standing on the side, opened her mouth slightly, and hurriedly followed Ning He to salute the old man. She was a little dazed, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at the old man as she bent over, just in time to meet Sid's gaze. His gaze softened, quietly dissolving the nervousness in Chu Xue's heart.

"This is the reward you deserve for your promise, and today is the time for you to fulfill your promise." Sid's voice was faint, but it didn't make people feel cold.

Sid looked at Zhu Yaotang and Douglas and nodded with them.

The two of them also bowed, and then stepped forward to stand with Ning He.

Today, the old man wore the most solemn papal robe, and he took the papal crown from the bench beside him with both hands and put it on for himself.

Sid got up slowly and walked slowly to the three of them, while Chu Xue consciously stood to the side, curious about what would happen next.

Sid held the papal authority in his left hand, stretched out his right hand and volleyed in front of the three of them, Ning He had never seen what Sid had drawn.

He writes very quickly, line after line, as if there is a piece of paper in the void that only he can see, and he is handwriting the invisible words.

One line, two lines, three lines.

Until the sonnet, Sid's body was already slightly rickety, and his right hand trembled slightly in the last void, ending this wordless heavenly calligraphy.

"Huhuhu."

Sid sat back on the bench panting, gently lowering the papal crown on his head, and the authority leaned against the bench.

His face flushed, and he smiled with Chu Xue, who was standing obediently on the side, "Do you want to try it too?" ”

Chu Xue shook her head.

The three people standing side by side closed their eyes, and it took a while for them to wake up like a dream and open their eyes.

Ning He felt a current of heat in his heart, a warmth that radiated from the deepest part of his heart and spread like a hundred bones of his limbs. He looked down at the star bracelet on his left hand, and sure enough, there was a change.

[Player's Name: Ning He.] 】

[Number of Star Crown Fragments Owned: 0.] 】

[Storyline cracked: 0%. 】

[World Level: 1.] 】

[Ability: Vision, the blessing of the god of light.] 】

——

[World Sequence: One.] 】

[Faction: Io Kingdom, Church of Light, Pope Sid, Douglas Adams.] 】

[World Key Patchwork: 58%.] 】

He hadn't paid attention to the interface of his bracelet for the past two days, and sure enough, he added skills to the skill column. In addition, the patchwork of the world key has also improved, and it is already halfway through.

He was about to ask, but Sid calmed down slightly and said directly, "I just wrote a blessing text for you, which can help you suffer a fatal injury when you are in danger. ”

Douglas nodded a little suspiciously, and after Zhu Yaotang and Ning He glanced at each other, they both saw the affirmative look in each other's eyes.

He looked at the information of the star bracelet, and his understanding of this world deepened.

"His Holiness the Pope... This... Does it really work? Douglas still couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked, this is a matter of life, not a joke.

Sid laughed, "The God of Light will protect His followers, and faith is there." ”

He omitted a sentence later, and Ning He complained in his heart, "If you don't believe it, you may not be nothing." ”

In short, the world is not what it appears on the surface, and there should be some secrets inside that they don't know.

"Alright, it's not too early, it's time for you to go."

There was a hint of tiredness on Sid's expression, and it was obvious that the act of drawing the talisman just now had taken a lot of his energy.

"My request to you is very simple, Ning and Zhu Yaotang, you help Douglas win the final showdown, and then we will send you to the empire."

"Okay." Ning He nodded, and Sid waved at them, motioning for them to leave.

An old man in a red bishop's robe walked out of the woods opposite, he bowed slightly to Sid, and looked at the remaining four: "You come with me, I will send you to the Rose Showdown." ”

The Rose Forest in the west of Zegar City has long been famous, and as many heroic legends are buried here, as many stories of the old people are buried. Every time the rose grove is burned and sown, it is the end of a legendary story in the history books of the kingdom, and the beginning of the next one.

Today, the king's former minister, Nelly Khalifa, and a bishop of the Church of Light, Dino Norman, appeared here, and the entire rose forest has already been searched by the king's army inch by inch carpet to ensure that there is no interference in the rose forest, and then completely blocked the surrounding territory, until today the royal minister and the bishop of the church came here to preside over the unsealing.

Outside of the Rose Grove, the three forces have been waiting for a long time, the royal faction represented by Kaitarn Adams, the clerical faction represented by Douglas Adams, and the players and locals who have heard the most news.

Nelly and Dino each stood beside a number of samurai, and the two stood side by side in front of the entrance to the Rose Grove.

The outer area of this rose forest has been deliberately closed-looped, and there is only one entrance to the entire rose forest that they see now, and if any participant tries to force his way out of the outer wall of the rose forest from other places, they will be forced back by the king's army and the overseer's priests, and even shot on the spot.

"Your Excellency Nelly, long time no see." Dino's voice was indifferent.

Nelly, the former minister, smiled and said, "Bishop Dino, I think we just met yesterday because of the Rose Showdown, and we talked about it late at night. ”

Dino was unmoved: "Oh yes? It could be that I'm old and have a bad memory. ”

Nelly smiled as he looked at the dark and deep entrance passage of the Rose Grove, and the noise behind him made him frown in displeasure.

"Looks like all the Rose Fighters can't wait." He glanced back at the participants of the Rose Duel standing in the waiting area not far away, and stood in four circles, the king, the clergy, the locals, and the players.

Dino looked back at the voice, and said calmly: "How many can come out in the end?" ”

There was no answer to his question.

"Let's get started."

"Okay."

The Imperial Chancellor and the Bishop of the Church retreated to the side, and the King's army began to release people into the Rose Grove in batches.

The first to be put in were the players.

Ning He stood in the camp of the clerical faction, looking at these players who kept entering the Rose Forest, the excited expressions on their faces contrasted sharply with the dark entrance of the Rose Forest, as if entering the bloody mouth of a monster disguised as a cave, engulfing these people who did not know the truth.

Zhu Yaotang also looked at the Rose Forest Entrance, which was queuing up to enter, and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

"The sheep is in the mouth of the tiger."

"What about us?"

Ning He thought for a moment and said, "It's no difference. ”

Zhu Yaotang sighed: "Who said it wasn't." The middle-aged uncle touched his beard, a little sad, he hadn't repaired it for a long time, and the longer it grew, the messier it became.

The player group is very chaotic, and when entering, there are a few people who like to jump by the king's army.

After about half an hour, the second group of local scattered people and some small groups began to be put in. Then there was the clerical faction, and finally the royal faction.

"Gone." Douglas came over and spoke to them, not with the two of them during this time, but with other clerical participants. Everyone here has the potential to help themselves at a critical moment.

Ning He nodded and joined the clerical faction with Zhu Yaotang.

Step into the dark Rose Forest.

"Be careful, follow me."

Zhu Yaotang whispered beside Ning He.

He nodded slightly, the scenery after coming in made him a little disappointed, he originally thought that there would be a cave in the rose forest, but he didn't expect it to be no different from what he looked outside. It was full of thorns, roses blooming on the branches, the whole sky was covered with green leaves and thick trees, and it was very gray inside, and there was an unbearable smell of decay and mustiness.

As the team continued to advance into the depths of the Rose Grove, people kept breaking away from the group. In such dense forests, squads or individuals are often more effective than large troops. It didn't take long for Ning He and Zhu Yaotang to break away from the large force that was close by, and Douglas was leading them to continue to move deeper.

Soon his brother would come in, and only one of the two would make it out of the rose grove alive.

"There's someone up ahead." Zhu Yaotang slowed down, stuck behind a thick tree, and looked at a lone wanderer in front of him.

There was something in the man's hand that shone slightly, and Ning He looked over, and sure enough, it was the Star Bracelet, which was a player.

At this time, the player was looking left and right, looking at the map in his hand, and his lips were constantly complaining about something.

Ning He said softly: "He seems to be lost, let's go around, right?" ”

"Wait, wait."

The two hid in the bushes, silently watching the player's various bad actions.

Ten minutes later, Zhu Yaotang's brows relaxed.

"Let's go."

The two of them just tried to make a detour past the player, and the sudden change of heart was abrupt.

There was a rustling sound in the grass not far from them, and the two of them stopped, looking at the grass motionlessly.

Out of the grass came three men in leather armor, and they walked into the player with swords in hand.

"Are you lost?" The man in the lead asked.

"Hmm......" The player's brow hung low, as if he was hiding in the shadows. The man leaned forward, and just as his teammates next to him tried to persuade him, the rickety player suddenly burst out.

A cold light shone on Ning He's eyes, and at the same time as the man fell to the ground, the cold arrow shot out of nowhere pierced the necks of the other two, precise and ruthless.

Ning He's heart was cold.

Zhu Yaotang's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was cold.
