Chapter 367: What I Saw Strangely When I Went Out of the City
"Oh, it's fine. Jiang Junming said casually, he suddenly remembered that in the care temple, he saw that there was a piece of wood in the corner of the backyard that had been placed for an unknown amount of time, which was hardwood, which belonged to the most common material of neutrality. According to Jiang Junming's idea, this kind of wood has been placed in the temple for a long time, and there are prayers from priests and believers, and the breath should be very close to the divine power of the goddess of care, which is a suitable material for making the statue of the goddess.
Or just use this hardwood, Jiang Junming doesn't have any requirements for materials, neutral materials, Priest Elaina didn't care at all when he talked to himself, so Jiang Junming didn't think that the materials were important.
Seeing that Raphael Priest was a little embarrassed, Jiang Junming diverted the topic and asked, "The Bright Temple Alliance in the city organized priests, knights, holy warriors and city guards to exterminate the bandits, why are you still there?"
Raphael said with a wry smile, "Jun Ming, you also know that the magic of our church is sometimes spiritual, sometimes it is not, and it can't help you if you go, but it gets in the way, they didn't inform me, so ......"
It turned out that this was the case, Jiang Junming shook his head, this is an internal problem of the Bright Temple Alliance, and he can't say anything.
"For the wood thing, I want to use that hardwood from the backyard. Jiang Junming said.
Hearing Jiang Junming suddenly talk about the wood again, the Raphael priest was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, Junming, after all, this is to make a goddess statue." โ
"Go ahead and try it, as long as it's a neutral material. Jiang Junming smiled and said.
Raphael was helpless, so he had to come to the backyard with Jiang Junming. I saw that the wood was already covered with moss. Priest Raphael asked the wood to be cleaned up, and asked worriedly, "Junming, is this really okay?"
"It's fine. You can rest assured. Jiang Junming said with a smile.
took the wood from the believer's hand, but he didn't expect that when he touched the wood just now, the place touched by Jiang Junming was as if it had been burned by a flame, and the temperature was extremely high, and it suddenly turned black.
Jiang Junming was startled, what was going on? I didn't feel the heat, but how could the wood become like this? Jiang Junming tentatively touched the wood again, this time there was no abnormality, what happened just now. Jiang Junming didn't know.
Tireda and Price Jr. both thought it was strange, but seeing that the phenomenon didn't happen again, they didn't ask Jiang Junming.
Holding the wood, Jiang Junming felt like he was having surgery. First of all, I thought back to the previous process of making a statue of the goddess zuรฒ in the temple of the goddess of care in Twilight City. has already done it once, and it has been successful, Jiang Junming feels that it is not difficult to do it again.
After briefly recalling it, he asked Raphael for an ordinary carving knife, and Jiang Junming took the hardwood and began to carve the statue of the goddess.
Jiang Junming's movements were swift and accurate, and he quickly carved the hardwood into a rough shape. Because I've already done it once, there's no need to hesitate any longer. Like last time. Carve with the feeling of your heart. Jiang Junming can be sure that he carved this piece of wood. It will soon be able to make a statue of the goddess, and it will only take an hour, and it will not take a small day like last time.
After carving out a rough outline, Jiang Junming just wanted to carve accurately, when Bishop Price of the Morning Light Church ran in out of breath, followed by an attendant, his clothes were messy, and he looked anxious and panicked.
When little Price saw his father coming, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "What happened?"
Bishop Price didn't say anything to Little Price, but ran directly to Jiang Junming's side, and without even catching his breath, he said intermittently: "The team that went out of the city in the morning is in danger!"
"Huh?" Jiang Junming heard Bishop Price say this, stopped what he was doing, hugged the half-formed hardwood, and asked, "You take a breath first, what happened?"
"In the morning the elite of the church went out with the city guard to exterminate the robbers. Supposedly, there shouldn't be anything, it's just a gang of robbers, and there shouldn't be a problem. But once out of town, my contact with them disappeared. Bishop Price calmed his breath and hurriedly said, "Later, I sent an attendant out of the city to inquire about the situation, but just after leaving the city, I lost contact, and he also disappeared. I don't dare to waste any more time, so I'll talk to you. โ
Tirida snorted coldly, discussing, What is there to discuss? It's not that the elite forces in the city have lost contact, and the only forces that can be relied on are himself and Jiang Junming. When you have merit, rush to it. Wait until there is danger to come to the door, the people in the church in these small cities, I really don't know what to say about them. If it weren't for the fact that Bishop Price was Price's father, Tirida would have wanted to scold him severely.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Tirida said hatefully: "In such a situation, if Jun Ming and I go out, won't we also send them to death?"
Bishop Price was very embarrassed, his intentions were suddenly explained by Tirida, and he was inevitably a little overwhelmed. He thought about it, decided to put down his shelf, and said sincerely: "The city needs to be defended, and there are not enough people, so I really can't go out of the city." Both of them have very high levels of divine arts, I won't say much about this, your strength is the strongest in Moonlight City, please go out of the city, it's not for the sake of fighting, scout and see what happened. If you are in danger, come back at once, and do not fight. โ
After a pause, Bishop Price continued: "This is also a way to do it, in this situation, I have to arrange the defense of Moonlight City, if it is really captured by robbers, there will be more deaths." โ
Jiang Junming also knew that if the gang of robbers outside the city could really wipe out the elite of the church and the city guards, the low walls of Moonlight City should not be an obstacle for them. Break into Moonlight City and plunder? This kind of thing is not impossible for robbers.
Then Bishop Price is right, investigate early, know what is going on outside the city as soon as possible, and ask for help as soon as possible, so that Moonlight City can survive.
"Bishop Price, you're not right. Tirida said suddenly.
Bishop Price looked at Tirida with a complicated expression and said, "What's wrong?"
"If only the elite of the church who have left the city have not heard from them. Most likely, they were wiped out, or they were surrounded by bandits, and Wolf Bรจi's magic equipment for transmitting signals had been lost. If that's the case. What are you waiting for here, why don't you call for help now, but instead ask the two of us to investigate!" Tirida's tone was stiff, leaving no room for manoeuvre.
Bishop Price looked at Tirida in embarrassment, but did not speak. Jiang Junming instantly understood the problem in the middle - the Bright Temple Alliance in Moonlight City still didn't want to bear this responsibility. The dark power was discovered by himself and Tirida together, and they went out of the city to surround and suppress the thieves, originally saying that they would set off together, but as a result, the power of the church competed for credit. Didn't even inform herself and Tireda. Now that something has gone wrong, if we pursue it, it will be a big problem. Only to bring yourself and Tirida in. This matter is easy to solve.
Jiang Junming was very disdainful of the thoughts of Bishop Price and other bishops of the church, looking at their upright appearances, he had not seen these bishops in the orphanage when he was a child. Leave a little bit of money. It shows that the gods have not forgotten these orphans. But now that they have a relationship with them, what is it that they don't think about themselves? They don't even care about the lives of others.
The smile on Jiang Junming's face became even stiffer, and he looked directly at Bishop Price without saying a word.
Bishop Price originally thought that Jiang Junming and Tirida were still two children, and if he heard his anxious words and correctly estimated the current form, he would inevitably be anxious, and then went out of the city to investigate the enemy's situation without asking the reason. But I didn't expect that the young priest of the Feleon Los family was really worthy of being a noble child. I knew all about these dirty thoughts of myself, and I couldn't hide them from him.
Embarrassed not to know what to say. But time is urgent, and if you hesitate and delay here for a second, the danger that Moonlight City will endure will be greater.
"Forget it, Tirida, I'll go out and have a look. You help Bishop Price get the defenses of Moonlight City in order. Soon, Jiang Junming stared directly at Bishop Price and said lightly.
"Ah, Junming, you ......" Tirida thought that Jiang Junming didn't understand the meaning of what she had just said, and said anxiously. But as soon as he was halfway through the words, he saw the resolute expression on Jiang Junming's face. Tirida immediately understood that Jiang Junming certainly knew about these things, but for the safety of Moonlight City, he still wanted to go out of the city to reconnoiter the enemy.
"Alas. Tirida sighed, they have been together for a long time, and he also knows Jiang Junming's temper, Jiang Junming has already made up his mind, so he won't persuade him anymore. But in this way, I was really unwilling to let these gods in the church get benefits for nothing.
"Bishop Price, you should ask for help now, please send someone out of the city to Twilight City for help immediately, and Jun Ming and I will go to find out the enemy's situation. Tirida found a compromise.
Bishop Price could accept this plan, and nodded hurriedly.
"Tireda, you don't have to come with me. Jiang Jun knew the danger of going out of the city, and said to Tireda.
"Two people, if you can take care of each other, you don't have to refuse. Tireda patted Jiang Junming's shoulder and said.
Little Price was just about to say something, but Bishop Price took a half step forward behind him, hit Little Price on the back with his shoulder, and then walked in front of Jiang Junming and Tireda, and said with a sincere expression on his face: "Thank you two, it's dangerous to go out of the city this time, if you need anything, just tell me." โ
Jiang Junming thought about it, he might have to prepare some potions, Tirida knew more about the equipment than Jiang Junming, and said, "Junming and I need the best light armor and magic staff you have here, and I also need some high-level spell casting materials." โ
Bishop Price was overjoyed when he saw that Jiang Junming and Tirida had agreed, and no matter what Tirida needed, he responded in one bite, and then said anxiously: "Then let's prepare as much as possible, and then the two of you will leave the city as soon as possible." โ
"Lord Price, you seem to have forgotten something. Tirida said coldly.
Bishop Price then remembered, yes, he seemed to have forgotten what Tirida had just said to ask for help first, and then the two of them would go out of the city to investigate.
It's not that he forgot about it, but Bishop Price estimated that he would delay, and when Jiang Junming and Tirida went out of the city, who knew if they would go to ask for help?
However, Tirida chased after him, and Bishop Price was helpless. I had to find one of the few remaining knights in Moonlight City and ask him to ask for help with a letter of help from the Moonlight City Light Temple Alliance.
It wasn't until the knight left the city that Tiridar was willing to go out and scout what he needed.
Both the light armor and the staff are of average quality. Jiang Junming felt far inferior to the set that Keynes gave him in his hand. But thinking that this is Moonlight City, even the bishop of the Morning Light Church in Moonlight City should not be able to surpass the wealth and heritage of Sir Slow's family, and the equipment he took out was of average grade, which is conceivable.
When he arrived at the temple of the Chenguang Church, Jiang Junming took advantage of the fact that the Feathered Serpent had not disappeared, and hurried to refine a bunch of refreshing potions and primary life potions with the herbs provided by the Chenguang Church, just in case of emergency.
Because they have to go out of the city. No one can say what can happen, but it is necessary to be more prepared.
Bishop Price specially prepared two fast horses for Jiang Junming and Tirida. There were bows and arrows in the saddles, and whether the two of them could use them or not, Bishop Price had them stocked up on them.
Jiang Junming knew that time was urgent, and he didn't want Moonlight City to be attacked by thieves. In that case. I don't know how many people will be looted by thieves, and how many innocent people will die.
Bishop Price pointed out the direction for Jiang Junming and Tireda, on the southwest side of Moonlight City, there were long mountain ranges, and it was impossible to see where it started and where it ended. Since he was a child, Jiang Junming only knew that there were many terrifying demonic beasts in this mountain range, and there were also many expensive and rare herbs. If there were robbers, their lair would be in the mountains. Bishop Price showed the way. Jiang Junming and Tireda did not waste time, and rode fast horses to directly investigate the news of the thieves.
"Junming. You're too honest. The two of them went out of town, Tirida grumbled.
"Huh. Jiang Junming smiled and did not refute Tireda's words.
"You still laugh, you see how cunning Bishop Price is, and when he grabs credit, he moves faster than anyone else. And the matter of sending him to death, he didn't hesitate to let the two of us do it, and little Price didn't follow. Tirida said.
"Little Price wanted to come along, but his father didn't let him. Jiang Junming could see it clearly, and he also understood Bishop Price's thoughts, and explained to Tirida.
"You...... You still speak for them!huh!" Tirida sighed.
"Then what to do, if the bandits are really that powerful, Moonlight City will be in danger. Let's see what's going on first, and then we'll have an idea. Jiang Junming said.
Tireda also knew that Jiang Junming must be worried about the civilians in Moonlight City, so he agreed to go out of the city to investigate, and when he heard Jiang Junming say this, he no longer complained, but hurried with his head down.
After an hour of running in the direction of the mountains, the mountains seemed to be slightly clearer, but there was still a long way to go. There is no Moonlight City in sight anymore, and there are no villages around, just barren meadows and lush forests. Several small roads that are not even called roads are deserted, and there are traces of people walking on them just now. The footprints are very new, and they should be the traces left by the church elite and city guards who went out of the city this morning to encircle and suppress the robbers.
Seeing that the direction was correct and there was silence around them, Jiang Junming and Tireda ran for another while, and then carefully slowed down their horses and walked forward slowly, paying attention to the movements around them.
The surroundings were quiet, but the more this happened, the more uneasy Jiang Junming felt, as if something was going to happen. It is said that the church elite went out of the city to surround and suppress thieves, and if they were besieged, they would leave some traces. But the footprints on the path disappeared inexplicably, and there was no sign of a fight, and Jiang Junming didn't even feel the residual divine power of casting the magic spell.
Unless there was no battle at all, how could that be? So many people were wiped out without even fighting back? If the bandits were so strong, they would be enough to attack Twilight.
This is not a light brain, there are places that you can't think of, there must be weirdness, Jiang Junming knows. Therefore, he became more and more cautious, and he was not in a hurry to find traces, but paid attention to the movements around him, and did not let go of the wind and grass of every grass and tree.
It didn't take long for Jiang Junming to see a person in the distance slowly walking towards him and Tireda. Jiang Junming looked from a distance and saw a knight of the church, wearing armor and riding a horse, walking slowly and slowly as if he was in a hurry.
Jiang Junming felt strange and faced it intently. After a while, Tireda also saw the knight coming from the opposite side, at this time, Jiang Junming and Tireda were not far from the knight, Jiang Junming could clearly see that the knight's whole body was wrapped in armor, and he couldn't see what was going on inside. But the horse he was riding was covered in green festering wounds all over his body, faintly exuding a green aura.
As the knight walked along, the plants around him would wither and die as the knight approached, and the green aura emanating from the horses under the knight would be contaminated. It was as if the knight was in the bitter cold of winter, and the place he passed through was barren all the way.
Jiang Junming observed carefully, the plant was scorched and blackened and died, it should be poisoned. Has this knight become a zombie or an undead? Or is it poisonous?
"Junming, be careful!" Tirida also saw this situation and reminded Jiang Junming.
The knight's armor and weapons have a disgusting green color attached to them, and from a distance, they look like ferns such as green mosses attached to them, but they are different. These greens seem to be alive and disgusting to look at. (To be continued......)
