In the no-man's back of the secluded forest, the lavish Golden Church still stands here.

Vermeer put away the golden compass that had stopped turning, and watched as Rowe stepped forward and knocked open the door of the Golden Chapel with a wooden coin.

"There are three breaths, all of which are the widest spaces inside." Ayining said.

Luo Wei nodded, not surprised that she could detect the breath, after all, she could find someone under Vimeer's skirt through the counter.

"That should be in the prayer hall, pay more attention."

The two girls nodded, and the three of them took their weapons and burst into the church door, passing through the front area cautiously and swiftly until there was a sudden opening in front of them—

A vast hall inlaid with golden trees.

Shirley, a centaur dressed in sacrificial robes, fell to the center of the floor, and two black-robed men stood coldly beside her.

Hmmm-

Luo Wei swung his sword without hesitation.

The aqua blue ring sword qi swept by, and was avoided by the other party's leap up in advance, and they were all wearing a strange pure white mask on their faces, covering their faces, which was in stark contrast to the pitch-black robe.

Ayinen also swung her sword to force them back, and Vimir chanted a spell on top of them to make them retreat further, leaving a safe distance, and the three of them quickly rushed to Shirley's side.

"Be careful......" said Shirley, who fell to the ground weakly, her horse's leg injured and unable to get up, "They know I don't have it on my hand, and they know you've seen the note......"

Blocking Shirley behind him, Luo Wei held the Sword of the Sky Flow and looked coldly at the two black-robed men.

Is it a tail, or is it a trap?

The silence between the two sides lasted for a long time, as if they were looking at each other, hoping to get more information from them, and Vimir did not speak, indicating that the strength of the other party could not be detected by magic.

Happening at the same time as Colin heading to the Arashi Temple, it was hard for Rowe not to wonder if it was a coincidence or a deliberate one.

But there is no doubt that this is the first time that he has stood head-on in front of a relevant role behind the scenes, regardless of the status of the other party.

At this moment, one of the black-robed men suddenly put his hand on the head of the other.

Click——!

An uncomfortable cracking sound came, and the black-robed man who was held on top of his head let out an unusually painful whimper, his clothes suddenly bulged, and long white sharp horns poked out from the top of his head, and his body suddenly widened.

"It's not like the breath of the present world!" Vermeer finally sensed something at this point, and reminded without blinking, "I can't tell what it is, but it feels very ominous!" ”

The magic fluctuations that came from there had become solid, and with a spread of impact, there was a howling howl in the air, not from the throat of the other party, but from the vibration caused by the spatial anomaly, which was silted and overflowed inside the church.

"Be careful!" Vimir and Ayining stopped in front of Luo Wei at the same time, using their magic to open the barrier against them.

The black qi suddenly covered the entire field of vision, and it leaked out like a raging wind, and Luo Wei stared intently at the magic enchantment that was collided, with a faint sense of familiarity.

That's not just a high-level breath.

It's more like the goblin mutation when she rescued Caroline, but it's much stronger than that. Although I also explored the underground space and let go of the surveillance projection, the goblins inside seemed to disappear overnight, and became an abandoned place with no clues.

It seems that it does have something to do with the truth.

When the raging black wind gradually subsided, the three of them looked forward at the same time, and the mutated black-robed man had risen to a height of nearly three meters, while the other person was no longer there.

Rowe's eyes widened.

"Hold him back!"

He shouted to the two of them, and immediately turned and ran to the exit of the church.

The black-robed man who was left behind may have been trying to deal with them, but the information hidden in the other person was probably more important, so he didn't want to wait until the battle was over to leave early.

Rushing to the gate as fast as he could, a black barrier stopped there, and the magic was directed from the mutant behind him, forming a barrier-like restriction inside the church.

Is that really the case?

Luo Wei drew his long sword without any hesitation, but the corner of his eye suddenly swept something, and he squatted down violently.

In his sight, over the forest outside the church, white wings swept over the canopy and disappeared.

Angel?

He was sure he saw the feathers.

And it's white.

didn't have time to think about it, the aura of mutation behind him became more and more serious, and a group of monsters appeared from the air tearing through the cracks, and he returned as soon as possible.

The church was suddenly reduced to a battlefield of killing.

And those monsters that kept pouring out all had mutations far beyond their own races.

……

Outside the northern suburbs of Wuguan City.

The Lan God force belongs, the Broken Spine Plateau Temple Leader.

Shaya changed into the Valkyrie suit for the first time in a long time, and the red and white color scheme of the ancient court made her regain a sense of familiarity, and she spread her wings and flew up the snow-covered cliff to face the door of the temple that no mortal could knock on.

Identifying herself and entering the temple, the emptiness and endless steps made her feel like she belonged again, but the gazes cast by the angels and temple warriors made her feel like a stranger.

Based on the current level of power, Shaye did not admit to being fifth.

And the sudden visit of an ordinary angel to another temple leader makes people feel a bit of a fuss and gives the impression of self-righteousness.

"Don't accompany me, just do your own thing."

Watching the only angel who led her way leave, Shaye lowered her gaze, although she had expected it, but all this really made people feel a little nostalgic.

The self-esteem that had accumulated in the past has now become flashy arrogance.

With an expression that she didn't know what it was like, she looked up, her crimson eyes staring directly at the steps of the mountain road in the distance, and the artisan guild cadre named Colin was slowly ascending the mountain road.

"I'll get this account back from you."

Hiding at a suitable distance to observe, watching the other party walk up to the plateau, as if indicating his intention, he handed a letter to the angel on duty.

A letter from the Craftsmen's Association?

Although Shaya has been seeing from high altitudes all year round, she is not able to see the fire paint on the letter from such a distance.

If only I could get the letter.

And she noticed that Colin didn't leave after handing out the letter.

After waiting for a while, she saw the angel come back and open the temple door to let Colin inside.

“？”

Shaye's brows furrowed, not to mention that the other party was just an intermediate craftsman, those angels treated Colin with much more respect than themselves, as if they needed his help.

Why?

First of all, Shaya was sure that the Arashi Temple would not collude with the betrayers of the Craftsmen's Guild, which was too detrimental to the majesty of the gods, and that the Crownless City did not even have a formal form of government, nor was it an option for the Alliance.

So, how did he get in?

Seeing them head in the direction of the main hall, Shaya walked around the side of the cliff and couldn't help but shake his head.

I, an angel under the banner of the Arashi, actually need to eavesdrop on the conversation of the Arashijin Branch.

And in the end, she didn't get her wish.

Entering the main hall, she was soon discovered by the temple warriors who came out of the front, so she had to pretend to be lost and come down from the sky, and followed in.

However, Colin was guided by the angel to go deeper into the area, and Saya could not find a reason but to wait dryly outside, fortunately there were not many people in the temple, but the sights that passed by from time to time still made her feel uncomfortable.

“……”

It took a while.

She looked sideways at the wide passage leading to the inner area, and couldn't help but froze.

It's been too long.

……

The golden church hall is filled with the corpses of mutant monsters.

The space was filled with the magic of light unleashed by Vimir, and Ayi Ning raised a swirl of brown earth, and the sword qi swung straight away, causing the entire church to tremble.

Luo Wei leaned into his arms at this moment, facing the black-robed man who was constantly healing his body and losing his mind, as well as the crazy monsters that were pouring out of his surroundings, there was no other way but to kill.

Whew-

The injury, which was almost impossible to recover, Luo Wei slashed diagonally again, cutting the opponent to the ground, and the bulging body under the black robe gradually shrank back, no longer having the breath of life.

"Has it been resolved?" Vimir behind him asked.

Luo Wei glanced around, the aura of mutation gradually disappeared, the crack slowly closed, and the remaining monsters were treated lightly by Ayining.

"It seems so."

The other side was clearly prepared for this operation.

First, he quickly saw through Shirley's disguise, and then, knowing that the Sun Divine Spear was not here, he deliberately waited for them to come over to confirm who had obtained the two fragments.

After learning the information, one of them stayed here as an outcast, and the key angel flew away, using the deprivation of mind to drag them down, leaving them without room for questioning.

But Rowe doesn't really need to live either.

He narrowed his eyes, and after all that he had been through, he was sure that the angel wouldn't be able to escape for long.

Squatted down in front of the corpse, and found a black crystal that he had slashed inside, and there was still a strange aura on it, which was probably the source of that strange power.

If that angel also harbors such power, then the position of the other party can be locked through the resonance weapon, and it is not surprising that they will be killed in a nest.

"What did you find?" Ayining walked over and said.

Luo Wei briefly told the story of the angel and the resonance device, as well as the note left in the church at the time, "Beware of the Craftsman's Association", and the monster mutation in the Caroline incident, which are inseparable from the present.

After listening, Ayining's brows furrowed.

"You think it's weird, don't you?" Luo Wei looked at her face, and was sure that the other party wanted to go with him.

"Yes......" Ayi Ning glanced at the black crystal, "If the other party doesn't know that you have an artifact that can find items, it can be explained, but after all, you found the fragment here in that way last time, and I always feel that it is not very rigorous......"

It's not rigorous.

Although it is inevitable to use the power of mutation to leave the crystal, what Luo Wei also doesn't understand is that what is the point of deliberately staying here to confirm the identities of the three of them? Saya's search for the Sun Spear is not something to hide.

If he had planned it, he would have run away a long time ago when he knew that someone was coming, and he wouldn't have been seen at all.

But the other party obviously came prepared again, which gives people the feeling that they have painstakingly designed a perfect plan full of flaws.

As if leaving a message on purpose.

Ayining stood there and thought for a while, then slowly spoke with her chin lining: "As soon as you say this, I begin to feel that the battle just now is not very real, as if it is just a test of our strength and consciousness, I don't know if it is an illusion." ”

Luo Wei couldn't help but sigh, there was a brain in the team that really worked, and he himself was uncertain about his doubts, if Ayining thought the same, then he would probably be able to get a clue.

What a good wife and mother......

That's pretty much the way to the point.

The black-robed man's plan just sounded strategic.

In fact, it does more harm than good.

Although I don't know the reason, don't think about taking back the horse's feet that have been exposed, and ask this angel when the time comes.

Carefully putting the crystal away, Rowe got the answer, and lifted the white mask from the corpse's face without hesitation.

“……？”

The face gave him a faint sense of familiarity.

I always feel like I've seen it somewhere.

Three seconds later, Luo Wei stood up suddenly, cold sweat breaking out all over his body.

"What's wrong?" Ayining looked at his appearance and hurriedly approached.

Luo Wei's face quickly darkened.

"Go back to Shaye."

That face is none other than that.

It's Caroline's husband Colin!!
