Chapter 275: Mysterious Woman, Where Did She Come From?
But I don't think there's any need for him to lie to us about such a trivial matter, after all, we don't have any leverage to threaten him......"
"Well, that's true."
Romani frowned and said, "In short, I will inform the brother below and monitor him closely. If he dares to play tricks, we will use holy weapons and holy stones to kill him all. ”
The two old wizards whispered for a moment, reached an agreement, and turned to leave.
……
At night, Leon rested in bed.
It was pitch black outside the window, except for sporadic moonlight on the roof, reflecting the dim candlelight in the room and Anglia asleep at the table.
Leon stretched, sat up from the bed, exercised his muscles, looked around, and found a random chair to sit down.
Tonight, he still didn't practice witchcraft, but meditated for half a night with the help of the faith source power stored in the "Elemental Spell".
Leon opened his eyes and listened intently, making sure there was no movement nearby.
He pushed open the window, jumped out, leaped onto the second-floor balcony, and plunged into the grass.
In the darkness, Leon quietly approached the wooden arched bridge and circled the entire church, taking a closer look around.
In addition to the empty church, there are high walls on the northeast, southwest, and directly front of the church.
In the deepest part of the wall, there are three wooden fence gates.
The three doors were closed and looked nothing special.
Leon took out the magic box in his arms, opened the lid, and pulled out a silver-white metal plate from it.
He narrowed his eyes, swept over the patterns on them, pondered for a moment, and raised his hand to knock on the wooden door.
Squeak-squeak-squeak-squeaw-s
The heavy wooden door slowly opened, and a chill hit me.
"Who?"
With the sound of a cold mechanical voice, two armored soldiers appeared in front of Leon.
They wore armor and pointed hats, and on their helmets there was an iron plaque that read "Aegis Legion".
Holy shield?
No wonder it's a little familiar, it should be a member of the Aegis Council......
"Please excuse me."
Leon stood at the door and said calmly, "I am a member of the Saints Alliance, and I have been ordered to verify the authenticity of this holy artifact. ”
The two soldiers were stunned for a moment, and exchanged a look, "Please wait a moment." ”
They closed the wooden door, ran briskly into the next room, and shouted, "Come on! The messenger of the League of Saints is here! ”
As soon as the words fell, a tall figure hurried over, opened the curtain, and walked in.
The visitor was wearing a black cloak to hide his face and figure, and only a pair of turquoise eyes could be seen.
Her voice was hoarse and dry, "What's the matter?" ”
"There are messengers to test the relics."
One soldier replied, adding, "I'm here to help us retrieve the relics." ”
"Oh?"
The black-robed woman suddenly showed an interested look, took a step, walked towards Li Ang, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?" What are you here for? ”
"My last name is...... Uh......"
Li Ang thought for a moment and said seriously: "...... Emerson Stark. I'm a scientist and alchemist, and I'm here mainly to study relics. ”
"Oh,"
The black-robed woman nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "What do you call it?" ”
Li Ang opened his mouth to tell his English name, but suddenly reacted and changed his words: "Call me Alfred." ”
He used to be Chinese-American, but for some reason, he changed his name and surname. As for the name Alfred, I searched for it on the Internet before leaving.
"Mr. Imerson,"
The black-robed woman walked up to Li Ang, stared into his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I need your assurance, we will dedicate the holy relic to you intact, but you can't take it."
If you can't do it, there's a good chance you'll die at my hands. ”
When Li Ang heard this, he glared back at her without flinching, "You try." ”
The black-robed woman frowned slightly, a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes, her right arm suddenly raised, and her knuckles clicked.
"You can try it with your hands."
Leon said calmly, "This is the Holy Shield Castle, the headquarters of the Holy See. If I am killed here by you, you will never get out of here. ”
As he spoke, he spread out his palm, and five shiny silver coins appeared in his palm.
"I'm not going to die."
Leon shook his left hand, "Besides, I don't need to take the holy relics. ”
As he spoke, he stared directly into the eyes of the black-robed woman, and said in a deep voice: "I just want to tell you that I do have extraordinary powers, and I am not an ordinary human.
If you can't trust me, I can leave immediately and never return to Aegis Lodge. ”
With that, he retracted his expression and turned to leave.
The black-robed woman's voice came faintly, "Wait, I haven't decided whether to trust you yet. You put this ring on first, and then I believe in your sincerity. ”
"Rings?"
Leon stopped, looked down at his palm, and was shocked to find that the coin in his palm had turned into a delicate silver ring.
He froze, this is ...... Legendary Chests?
Although Leon had been prepared to guess that the legendary treasure chest might be in the hands of the Templars, when he actually saw it, his heart still couldn't stop pounding.
Li Ang swallowed, suppressed his excitement, and said as calmly as possible: "I don't like to wear rings, especially this kind of silver jewelry. ”
"I didn't let you wear it." The black-robed woman said indifferently.
Leon hesitated for a moment, but finally took off the silver ring and put it beside him.
The black-robed woman looked at the ring, seemed to be quite satisfied with it, and took out a long rope from her waist pouch and threw it to Li Ang.
"What is this?" Leon wondered.
"Leggings."
The black-robed woman said lightly, "Tie it to your thigh, and you can move as freely as I do."
Also, no matter what happens, don't take it off. ”
"Why?"
Li Ang was surprised: "Is this thing dangerous?" ”
The black-robed woman chuckled, "Whether the danger is dangerous or not, you will know later."
Remember, don't unravel. ”
After saying that, the black-robed woman turned around and walked back to the back of the door, closing the curtain.
Leon looked at the brass rusted disc and hesitated for a few seconds, but still did as she told him to tie it to his lap.
A strong stinging pain struck, making him subconsciously let go.
The copper plate tumbled to the ground and hit the corner of the table with a thud.
He bent down to pick up the copper plate and wiped it with his sleeve, but the more he wiped it, the dirtier it became, and it was even stained with blood.
Leon frowned and looked at the copper plate, not understanding what it was.
"This is a holy relic?"
At this time, a black-robed woman's voice came from inside the room, and her tone was full of disdain: "It looks ugly, it looks like a holy thing." ”
Leon shook his head, didn't say much, and walked straight towards the house.
The room is simply furnished, with a wooden bed, two stools, a stone tea set, and nothing else.
The black-robed woman sat on a stool, hugging her shoulders and looking at Li Ang.
Leon glanced at her, walked over to the bed, and reached under the pillow to feel a touch of warmth.
