For Jiang Ash, who didn't know that so much was going on behind the scenes.

Tonight was undoubtedly a very relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Led by Anjie, a local, he spent a few hours in the San Doloken.

Far from becoming dark and obscure at night, the city exudes a different kind of charm.

More than 3,000 years of history and great religious influence.

Let the city exude a holy, solemn and mysterious beauty, like a mythical city.

According to Anjie, every year, pilgrims from all over the world come to the Holy Capital on foot to pay their respects.

These pilgrims may have to go through a three-month hike that can be dangerous along the way.

Of course, after all these dangers and all kinds of tribulations.

The scenery they saw at the end of the trip was enough to make it all worth it.

The whole giant city is like a huge church, as if the secular and the sacred are shrouded in this huge dome.

Even a heretic like Jiang Ember who doesn't have any belief in gods.

Walking along the streets, which are full of religious murals, you can't help but feel a sense of respect.

It's just that after feeling Jiang Yan's respect for the city.

Walking beside him, An Jie, who was holding the local specialty "Angel Lollipop" and nibbling on it, smiled slightly and said with a smile:

"There's still some time to go back...... I'll take you to an interesting place at the end."

"Interesting? Is it an execution ground littered with teeth and broken bones?"

"What do you think of me? I'm not going to go to that kind of hell place!"

An Jie grimaced at Jiang Yan when she heard this, then took his hand and ran forward.

When he was pulled by that pair of small and soft hands, Jiang Yan only felt a burst of warmth in his palms.

After the tavern incident just now, An Jie didn't say anything on the surface.

But her attitude towards Jiang Ember has obviously changed subtly...... This is also a very normal thing.

After all, An Jie's growth environment is so bad, and few people may be willing to stand up for her since she was a child.

For girls who are accustomed to protecting themselves, the protection from others is very valuable.

So much so that An Jie's expression became extraordinarily gentle tonight, so gentle that people thought that she was not a dual personality.

It didn't take long for An Jie to take Jiang Ember to the bottom of a huge bell tower.

All residents of St. Laucan know that the "Bell Tower of the Stars" is one of the city's most famous landmarks.

Although this old free-standing bell tower is located in the corner of the city, it is located in a somewhat remote location.

But because of its towering character, it can be seen even on the other side of the city.

When looking at the bell tower from below, Jiang Ember couldn't help but sigh, "It's so high...... At least a hundred meters."

"One hundred and sixteen meters to be exact, this is the tallest freestanding clock tower in the world, let's go."

"Go? Go inside? Isn't there a sign that says 'Tourists are not allowed to enter?'

Jiang Yan couldn't help but scratch his head as he looked at the sign hanging at the main entrance of the bell tower and the completely locked iron fence door.

It may be because this "star-picking bell tower" is too old.

If a lot of tourists go up together, I am afraid that a collapse will occur.

Therefore, the management of the Holy Capital has long forbidden ordinary people to enter, and only a very small number of bell ringers have the permission to enter the bell tower.

Of course...... So what's the matter with Anjie?

Under Jiang Yan's speechless gaze, she took out a key and put it into the iron fence door as if she were going home, and then easily twisted it open.

After opening the lock, An Jie shook the iron key in his hand towards Jiang Yan and said with a smile:

"That's it, I knew they hadn't changed their locks in years since I left, sure enough."

「...... Changing the locks before the relationship is all to prevent you."

An Jie casually pulled Jiang Yan inside, locked the door from the inside, and said in an understatement tone:

"Sort of, but it's useless to change it, when I was a child, I used to twist the lock directly with my hands."

If an ordinary person said this, Jiang Yan must have thought that she was bragging or that she had a brain problem.

Just kidding, twisting the iron lock with your hand, what do you think you are? Superman?

But An Jie said this...... It's quite credible, after all, she has been a violent maniac since she was a child.

Upon entering the interior of the Star-Picking Lighthouse, you can see some old oil lamps emitting a faint glow on the walls.

When he saw the oil lamp and some daily necessities hanging on the wall, Jiang Yan couldn't help frowning and said:

"There's someone in this lighthouse, so it's really okay for us to come in like this, right?"

"It's all right, the bell ringer who lives in this lighthouse is a deaf and dumb old woman, and I've been familiar with her for a long time."

An Jie looked up at the stairs that winded up from the inside of the lighthouse, pulled Jiang Ember and ran up.

Seeing An Jie like this, she should want to take Jiang Ember to the top of the lighthouse, where the scenery should be very good.

For this kind of invitation, Jiang Yan naturally had no reason to refuse, so he followed An Jie and walked up leisurely.

It's just that just as the two of them entered the interior of the Star-Picking Lighthouse, a black shadow slipped in through the crack in the door.

This shadow is naturally the "shadow demon" sent by the Heavenly Father to track and monitor the two.

Shadow Fiend's body doesn't seem to have a fixed shape, and the closed door means nothing to it.

Two dark pupils appeared in the middle of the shadows that were reflected on the ground.

Pupils stared at the two men spiraling up the stairs, their eyes radiating confusion.

...... What are these two guys doing in this old lighthouse at night? Fight in the field?

Shadow Fiend has observed many different kinds of humans under the arrangement of his master.

Judging from its solid enough cognition, a man and a woman ran to such a strange place at night.

In a few moments, it will probably see a scene that is somewhat familiar, but completely incomprehensible.

Hum...... Young people in these years have a really good time, and I don't know what to do.

Shaking his head secretly, the Shadow Fiend quickly and silently followed.

Realistically, Shadow Fiends aren't humans, or even monsters.

It is an elemental creature from the "Aetheric Plane" that must survive where there is a shadow.

If it appears in a place where there is no shadow, the power of the Shadow Fiend will be weakened to the extreme.

In case of direct exposure to the sun, it will even disappear directly, and there will be no scum left of the dead.

Of course, it is precisely because of this special way of existence that can only survive in the shadows.

The night full of shadows is the home of the Shadow Fiend, which can do almost anything in its own turf.

Keeping track of two young people who didn't seem to be very strong couldn't be too easy for it.

It's just that the shadow demon who followed the two of them never dreamed of it.

There will be a law-level ability in this world called the "Pupil of Truth".

And unfortunately, the pair of eyes that were enough to see through everything grew on the young man in front of him.

...... What's that? Why do you keep following us?

Just when the Shadow Demon thought that he was hiding very well, he followed Jiang Ember and An Jie all the way without being discovered.

It didn't expect that Jiang Zheng had actually discovered its trace, but it didn't make a sound.

After all, Jiang Zheng's "Pupil of Truth" can directly see the existence of energy.

Elemental creatures like Shadow Fiend are pure energy bodies to put it bluntly, and how can they escape his eyes.

So in Jiang Ash's eyes, the Shadow Demon became a very strange follower.

He and An Jie walked up the stairs for a while, and the shadow came after him whizzing against the wall.

When the two of them were wandering the streets outside, it was okay to talk about it, anyway, there were people and all kinds of buildings everywhere.

Under all kinds of cover-ups, the shadow demon's tracking was not so obvious, and Jiang Ember didn't particularly care.

But this is a good thing, as soon as you enter the lighthouse, there is nothing behind it, and the area space becomes very narrow.

That black energy body naturally looks particularly obvious in this environment, and there are ghosts when you can't see it.

Frankly speaking, behind the big night, there is a moving black shadow, and this scene is a bit oozing.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan whispered to An Jie and asked:

"By the way, is that thing so fierce over here in the Holy Capital? So easy to keep up?"

"'That thing?' What's that? Rats?"

"It's not a mouse, it's the ...... Ghosts, ghosts, and other weird things."

The moment she heard Jiang Yan say this, An Jie's face changed first.

Then I couldn't help but hold my little belly and laughed.

"Hahahaha! You...... You're still afraid of this, huh? What a coward."

"No, no, no, I'm not afraid, I'm just asking."

"You want to know where this is, this is the Holy Capital, the Holy Capital, what ghosts and ghosts are coming here? Are you killing yourself?"

According to An Jie's knowledge, there are indeed some things similar to ghosts or ghosts in this world.

For example, the filthy water ghosts that lurk in the swamp and will pull pedestrians in. Look at the book

Or a wetland spirit that appears in some eerie place and causes people to hallucinate.

There are even vampires who haunt the fog and live by sucking the blood of living creatures, and so on.

Goblins are also a special category of all monsters, and many of them cannot be solved by strength alone.

And the "divine arts" practiced by the priests have a very obvious restraining effect on this group of ghosts.

Generally speaking, it is one of the priests' jobs to remove these ghostly things.

So if there is any place in the world that all kinds of ghosts are most reluctant to come, it must be this holy capital.

After all, this is a place where all kinds of powerful priests gather, and the ghosts come here to simply get into the cats and look for death.

For this kind of thing, Jiang Yan naturally can't understand it.

But since An Jie said so, then he couldn't understand what was following his ass.

Just as Jiang Yan was thinking this, the two of them had already followed the stairs all the way to the upper floor of the lighthouse.

After climbing over some stairs that were so broken that it was doubtful that they would collapse, and then climbed an old rope ladder.

The two of them finally stood at the top of this "star-picking lighthouse".

At this time, the first thing that appeared in front of Jiang Yan was a huge wall clock.

Next to the wall clock is a heavy pestle, which makes people want to ring it.

But considering that it is already night, it is not the time to ring the bell at all.

Jiang Yan still couldn't help but put down the hand that was stretched out to that side, so as not to disturb people's dreams or something.

And while he was staring at the wall clock, An Jie had already come to the edge of the fence on the side.

The fence on the top floor of the bell tower is not very high, at most about 1.5 meters.

There is no other protection above the fence, and there is a huge drop several hundred meters below.

But An Jie didn't care about this at all, but jumped on the fence lightly, climbed onto the roof, and stood at the top of the bell tower.

After Jiang Ember also climbed up with her, what she saw was spectacular

Wonders.

Looking ahead from the top of the star-picking bell tower, it can be said that the entire holy capital comes into view.

Whether it is the "Cathedral of St. Lorcan", the "Mahatma Statue", the "Shepherd's Museum", the "Reformed Garden" and other landmark buildings.

Or the lights of thousands of homes in the streets and alleys of the city, everything seems to be close at hand.

Looking at the strange beauty under the night, An Jie couldn't help but smile:

"This is where I liked to come when I was a kid, do you know why?"

"I don't know, but I guess it's not because of the view."

"Hehe, indeed, because the highest peak of the star-picking bell tower is the only place in the city that is higher than the dome of St. Lorcan's Cathedral."

An Jie said as she looked at the gorgeous cathedral in the distance.

St. Lorcan's Cathedral is the largest church in the world, and the Holy Spirit is dedicated to the Candlelight Statue.

The Candleflame is the most well-known of the Holy Spirit in this plane.

It is said that more than 3,000 years ago, the god of desire caused a disaster.

The god who descended the brave to lead mankind to victory is the god who honors fire.

If there is no light in the world, then the flame will be lowered, and the Lord will use the fire as a lamp to guide us and illuminate the future.

Such a god, who seems to be very kind to humans and is very sympathetic to the people's feelings, naturally has a large number of followers.

The followers of the Candleflame Venerable are not only found in the Holy Flame, but can also be seen in the other four kingdoms.

Compared with this Holy Spirit, although there are a few other Holy Spirits who have believers and sectarian systems in the human world, they are not proportional to the Candle Flame Venerable.

It can be said that the god who honors fire is the god who has the greatest influence on this material plane.

Moreover...... It seems to be Asmantis' worst enemy.

After all, this material plane is the world of Candleflame Venerable, and he is the one who sent people to kill Asmantis.

From this point of view, Jiang Yan, who has the "Blade of Passion" in his body, ran to the base camp of Candle Flame Venerable, which seems to have a bit of a sense of death.

However, just as Jiang Shen sighed at the power of the Holy Spirit of Candle Flame Venerable.

Suddenly, he saw the shadow sneaking up and falling behind An Jie.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yan couldn't help but stare over there.

There was a clear warning in this glance, as if to say, "I see you, don't move, go back where you came from."

Who knows, just after being glared at by Jiang Ash, the shadow demon who followed up froze suddenly.
