A collection of faith?

The word faith, Wayne is no stranger.

Most of the city-states of Custer are followers of the Church of the Dawn or the Church of the Storm, and the Light of the Dawn and the Sea of Storms are their beliefs.

The Collector's Place, the surrounding area?

This should be what Lacey and others call the preaching place of the Eternal Life Society!

Wayne frowned and looked at the panel, the most annoying of these mysterious things, they were all blind spots of his knowledge.

However, after seeing the benefits on the panel, his mood was slightly more balanced.

Even, he was still wondering, what would happen if he just fired a shot at the black shadow?

Maybe it's no longer a look-a-you-go assist, right?

Try it next time!

Then Wayne glanced at his current attributes and found that the spirit level had exceeded level 25.

There is one more, the partnership contract - the calamity.

Is Tina's talent self-healing?

Wayne thought of the battle scene just now, that dark perspective, called Tina Vision......

Is that the world as she sees it?

In the darkness of nothingness, only the people around him radiated light, and everyone else was black outlines?

If that's the case, it's too miserable.

"Wayne?"

Wayne came back to his senses and looked at Lacey's concerned eyes, "Sister Lacey, what's wrong?" ”

"Are you alright?"

"No," Wayne waved his hand hurriedly, "with you and Captain Ariana here, I'm sure it'll be fine." ”

"That's right,"

Arianna came over and said proudly, "It doesn't matter who he is in the Eternal Life Society, as long as I am ......."

Bang!

Lacey punched him in the face, "These words are reserved for you two people." ”

Arianna was hammered and stumbled, covering her face and glaring at her: "Lacey!" ”

"Huh?"

"I mean, when will it continue?"

Arianna shouted in shame, "I can't wait to destroy the people of the Eternal Life who dare to preach here." ”

Wayne: "......"

Well done, Captain Arianna.

In the most ruthless tone, he shouted the most cowardly words, which is very good.

"Now."

Lacey looked to the other side, "Marco, leave this place to the city guards, it's time for us to go." ”

"Okay,"

Marco dropped the corpse in his hand and smiled at the city guards: "Brother Guisep, I'll leave it to you here, I have to go on a mission with the chief." ”

"Well, don't forget what you said before, we've been waiting for your reception for a long time."

"Shh

Marco hurriedly covered his mouth, turned his head to meet Lacey's cold eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Sir, he, he's joking." ”

Lacey snorted, "Get here!" ”

With that, she turned and walked deeper into the Laos neighborhood.

Now is not the time to worry about that, wait until you get back and let him know that he knows how powerful.

This time, there was no Tina contract to help him recover from his injuries......

"Just come, just come."

Marco let go of the city guard in his hand and trotted over, muttering in a low voice, "It's over, it's over, it's dead, it's all Guisep's fault." ”

Wayne waited for him to arrive before following Lacey and the others.

Tina, as before, grabbed the corner of his coat with her little hand, and refused to leave.

Wayne hadn't figured out how to deal with her relationship for the time being, so he could only let her follow like this first.

"Brother Marco, Sister Lacey shouldn't do anything to you here, but it's hard to say after you go back."

"Actually, you don't have to be so kind to remind me,"

Marco gave him a sloppy look, and with what he knew about Lacey, something like this was very likely to happen......

However, this emotion was only for a short while, and soon a smile appeared on his face again, and he asked narrowly: "The battle just now didn't scare you, did it?" ”

"Nope,"

Wayne shook his head, "I just felt a little surprised, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing on the first mission." ”

"It's true that the people of the Eternal Life Society haven't seen it for a long time."

"Who the hell are they?"

"A bunch of madmen, a bunch of madmen who yearn for 'eternal life,'"

Marco thought of the record of the Eternal Life Society in the Secret Investigation Division, and said fearfully: "There are many strange cases in our investigation department that cannot be investigated, and it was later found out that they were all done. ”

Longing for eternal life?

Wayne said thoughtfully, "The parchment translated this morning has the name of the Eternal Life Society on it, it should have been a long time since the Third Age, right?" ”

"I don't know about this, the change of epochs has erased a lot of traces. Perhaps only a behemoth like the Church of the Dawn has been documented. ”

The Ghost School should have it too.

Wayne remembered that in the handbook that had been handed out by the previous school, there was a piece of advice left by the Third Age.

[Knowledge is power!] But remember, when you're chasing knowledge, knowledge is chasing you! (In the year 138 of the Third Age, the founder of the Ghost School, the Wizard of Liszt.) (Chapter 3)

The school was founded in the Third Age, and I think there are records of what happened during this time.

If you have the chance, ask someone from the school.

"What about Claire?"

"The more active dangerous people in the Eternal Life Society,"

Marco had a rare serious expression on his face, "I heard that she has been active in the Crane City-State before, and she has caused the secret division over there to lose face. ”

"It is said that no one has ever seen him in real form, only that her abilities are very strange and can be transformed into anyone's physical appearance."

"I didn't expect her to come to Cust, I'm afraid some of the secretarial divisions will be busy next......"

The city-state of Crane was the capital of the Kingdom of Châtland.

To be able to wreak havoc in that place, it must be very terrifying to think of this person's strength.

No wonder Lacey and they gave it their all at the beginning of the battle.

Wayne was relieved and sighed: "It turns out that 'Thousand Faces' came from like this......"

Marco comforted, "Don't worry too much, since you know that she is coming to Custer, there will always be a way to deal with her." ”

With the strength of their secret division, they are not afraid of a thousand-faced Claire, but it is very tricky.

At this time, Lacey in front of him stopped, "Arianna, try here and find a way to find the gathering place where the Eternal Life Society is hiding in Laos." ”

Arianna looked around, "Here, the decaying aura of the Eternal Life Society is even stronger. ”

"Let's get started."

"Okay."

As they spoke, Wayne and the others also followed, standing behind them and looking around.

Wayne didn't smell the rotten breath in Arianna's mouth, he only felt that this place was ten times colder than before.

In addition, compared to the dilapidated buildings outside, it is very well preserved.

It's just that in the dim environment, it seems more gloomy and quiet.

Wayne looked up at the sun overhead, and then glanced at the gloomy landscape around him.

I couldn't help but have a strange thought in my heart: I am afraid that those experts and professors in the previous life will not be able to explain the scene in front of them, right?

"Simon, Van Dom, Hain, Hohenfen......"

At this moment, Arianna folded her hands and chanted again, "Cespoda, Creelang......"

Changed?

Oath, Great Guardian Spirit, Heroic Spirit of House Holmes, I ask you for your guidance in finding ......

Hearing him sing praises, Wayne was a little afraid to look at him directly.

Juana's body swelled again, but this time it wasn't his head, but his limbs.

Tentacles pierced his shirt, wriggling and waving. At the end of each tentacle, there is an open eye, looking around.

Really...... It's the same ghost again.

"No matter how many times I watch it, it's hard for me to accept,"

Marco also looked at Ariana with a disgusted expression, "Fortunately, our family's bloodline inheritance is not like this, otherwise I would definitely choose to become an ordinary person." ”

Wayne nodded approvingly, "Captain Arianna is not easy, when I saw him like this before, I thought he was distorted. ”

"Those aberrations do resemble his abilities, but of course they're a little more insane and terrifying."

"You two!"

Arianna glared back at them, "Can you be quieter when you say bad things about me behind your back?" ”

“……”

Wayne and Marco quickly shut up and leaned towards Lacey.

I'm really worried that the captain of the second department will suddenly go crazy and rush towards them......

After waiting for a long time, Arianna pointed to a three-story building in the deepest part and said, "There, there is the strongest smell, Lacey?" ”

"Let's take a look."

Lacey gripped the two-handed axe again, and walked in the direction he was pointing.

Several of them also took out their weapons and followed.

That's when Wayne learns that Marco's weapon is a staff.

The black twisted wooden body is not a gem seen in the previous game, but a lantern hangs on the top, lighting a fire to dispel the darkness around it.

The look of the staff is very beautiful, but it is matched with Marco's look...... It's funny.

If he was wearing a black robe, it would be much more reasonable.

"Brother Marco, didn't you come here yesterday when you came to investigate?"

Marco shook his head, "Tina and I only investigated on the periphery, and when we saw that we didn't find anything later, I asked Tina to use Psionic Vision and find ......."

"Wait!"

Arianna behind her suddenly spoke, "Not over there, over here, Lacey." ”

He pointed to a slightly dilapidated house on his right, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Huh?"

Lacey flashed over to him, looked at the house, and frowned, "Arianna, you can't be mistaken, right?" ”

From the outside, the house looks unremarkable compared to the tall buildings around it.

"The Heroic Spirits have found something special there, and they would love to visit it."

Arianna looked at the tentacles around her and frowned, "But they are sure that it is not the breath that immortality will leave behind, it is very strange." ”

"Let's go, go in and have a look."

Lacey didn't think much of it, flashed over with her two-handed axe, kicked open the door and rushed in.

Marco reminded, "Keep up." ”

Wayne nodded, clenched the musket in his hand, and cautiously followed with Tina.

By the time they entered the house, Lacey, who had walked in the front, had already gone up to the second floor, slashing at a locked iron door with a two-handed axe.

The moment Arianna entered the house, the tentacles around him stretched straight in the direction of the iron door, and even dragged him wildly.

"Huh? Slow down, huh?! ”

Marco glanced at it and said, "Wayne, you wait downstairs, I'll go over and have a look." ”

"Hmm."

Wayne knew his strength, and he couldn't help much in the past, so he simply left Tina in place.

He looked at the house, it wasn't a lot of space, everything was in plain sight.

The stucco on the walls has long since faded, revealing mottled masonry, and there are often cracks in the walls, and a bleak photograph hangs.

He walked over and wiped the dust off the photo, it was a family of three, a man, a woman and a girl.

However, compared to a group photo of the members he saw in the logistics department, this photo is black and white.

What I care more about is the expressions of these three people...... Serious?

Even the little girl in the middle didn't have any smile on her face.

Wayne withdrew his gaze and looked around.

The furniture was rudimentary, with an old wooden bed in the corner and an alarm clock at the head of the bed, but the hands had long since stopped turning.

The floor is covered with a layer of old tiles, which are covered with heavy dust.

And on the other side of the room are some clutter.

A rudimentary table was littered with miscellaneous items, and empty bottles and discarded newspapers were piled up in the corner.

The glass on the windows had been improvised and the sunlight was faintly glowing.

Obviously, it hasn't been inhabited for a long time.

And as these people broke in, the small room seemed extremely crowded, giving people a feeling of suffocation and depression.

At this moment, a crimson message flashed in Wayne's mind.

[You stepped into the place of faith storage of unknown existence, and because your spiritual level was greater than level 20, you successfully resisted the erosion of the power of despair. Evaluation: Very good, courage is commendable. Special Rewards: +3 Survival Points, +1 Spirit Level. 】

A place of faith?

Before he could open his mouth to remind him to be careful of something wrong here, he heard a "boom" sound from upstairs.

The iron door was opened?

Wayne looked up and saw a black aura rushing out of there.

"It's the power of despair! Lexie! Arianna shouted angrily.

Lacey raised her two-handed axe, "Cool! (Shield!) ）

Marco also hurriedly waved his staff, and the light on the lantern flashed, "Rashid, Roman......" (Broken Wind. ）

Wind blades shot out, cutting and splitting those black energies.

And those black breaths did not sweep over them, but seemed to have found a more delicious target, and a puff of smoke rushed down directly.

"Damn it!"

Lacey swept downstairs to Wayne and Tina, cursed, and jumped straight down.

Wayne subconsciously raised his gun and fired a shot at the rushing black aura, "Bang! ”

A flash of fire flashed, and the imaginary image of energy dissipating did not appear.

Those black breaths rushed to his face and rushed straight into his body.

it?

What's going on?
