Chapter 36: Master and Apprentice

After persuading the gossipy people to return to the church, Lianhua and Liao stayed behind to keep on guard, and it took some time for Ryder and Jane to strengthen the weakened barrier, which was much stronger than the previous one.

After the reinforcement was completed, Jane said with great admiration, "It's the first time I've encountered such a complex and powerful enchantment, did you set it up?"

"No," Ryder said, shaking his head, "the barrier was left over from the early days of this church, and I just activated it!

"What an amazing guy that set up this enchantment in the first place!" Rio sighed after hearing Ryder's words.

"Alright, let's go back to church!" Ryder beckoned, who was also half the master of the place, and was done with his work.

On this day, I first rushed to join the zombies who broke through the trade area and the residential area, and then the defense battle in front of the church, and now the enchantment has been strengthened, and the time is not early, although the air is gloomy and I can't see the moon, but it is indeed night.

At this time, the city lord's mansion was dark, dim, and the air was filled with a foul smell, but the soldiers did not feel any discomfort, all of them had green eyes or patrolling or standing guard, doing their own work.

There was a candle lit on the pillar in the main hall of the city lord's mansion, and through the faint candle, in the middle of the main seat, there was now an old man slumped, his clothes were ragged, his skin was covered with bones, and the skin exposed from under the ragged clothes was even more frighteningly white, his breathing was heavy and rapid, but his eyes were not sluggish but showed a trace of cruelty. Not far in front of him stood a young girl, with a beautiful face and a hot body, which contrasted sharply with the frail image of the old man.

"How's the experiment going?" asked the old man in the throne, frail.

"It's going well, Subjects 2 and 3 have been completely successful! The girl bowed and replied, it seems that this is a pair of master and apprentice.

"Hehehe, it's good!" the old man grinned when he heard that the experiment had been successful, but this laughter was worse than crying. "Then hurry up and test Subject No. 1, there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes, disciple understands!" replied the girl respectfully.

"So what's going on with the church? Sakura. Putting away his smile, the old man asked weakly.

"Still haven't been able to take the church, Master. The matter was not done, and the girl replied with some trembling. "Because..."

"Idiot!" Hearing this answer, the old man looked at the girl dissatisfiedly and scolded angrily and interrupted her words, and at the same time stretched out an index finger and pointed at the girl, and a black light shot out from between his fingers, "This little thing can't be done!"

"Don't!," Sakura was struck by the black light before she could finish speaking, "Ah!!" The black light instantly swept through the girl's body with death energy, and she screamed in pain. The black light lasted for a long time before dissipating, and the girl no longer had the strength to stand, and fell to her knees with a "plop", her body kept twitching, and her eyes looked at the old man in the upper position pleadingly.

"Hmph, I can't even take a church for so many days!" the old man slowly stood up from his position, and looked condescendingly at the girl's pleading eyes. "Give you one more day, there's the key I need for my experiments in the church!"

"Yes, master!" replied the girl, who met the old man's gaze with all her strength before she could barely stand up.

"Don't let me down, Sakura. The old man seemed to be very satisfied with the girl's answer, and nodded with difficulty, "Did you have something to say just now?"

"No dew!" Facing the old man's gaze, the girl concealed the words she had just been interrupted, and what the girl was hiding was the fact that the three of Lianhua entered the city to join Ryder.

"Then step aside. After saying this, the old man sat down on the main seat again, and did not look at the girl again, but closed his eyes directly.

Sakura saw that the old man began to rest, so she turned around silently, dragging her still twitching body, and slowly left the hall, her eyes facing away from the old man were revealing coldness at the moment.

Inside the church after dinner

Lianhua, Liao Ao, Jane and Ryder are sitting in a circle on the ground, introducing themselves, although they have known each other for a short time, but they can be regarded as partners who fight side by side, and it is not an exaggeration to know each other.

Those who were not infected were scattered elsewhere in the church, either in twos or threes, or in groups of four or five.

"Ryder, I can call you that, hahaha, what do you mean by those words on the city wall earlier!" Sure enough, Liao was a patient and curious person, and he couldn't help but ask questions after a while.

"Yes, you can call me Ryder, no problem. Ryder smiled at Rio, this smile was very gentle, and it was very comfortable to see. "One day three months ago, I can't remember the exact date, when I was meditating in the Imperial Cathedral, the Light found me, and he showed me a picture of the disaster in the city of Kasro! I knew that he wanted me to stop it, so I asked him to tell me what to do, but the Light did not respond to me. ”

Ryder's words surprised the other three, it was out of their minds, usually the Light only appeared after people had prayed with their hearts, and it was the first time they had heard of someone asking for help like this. But surprised to be surprised, they didn't bother Ryder.

"Since the Holy Light has found me, I have to do it, I can't delay for a moment, almost a month and a half ago I rushed here from the imperial capital, the beauty and prosperity of the city of Kasro at that time and the picture that appeared in my mind did not match at all, so I came to this church, I wanted to continue to ask the Holy Light here, and for ten days I failed, the Holy Light still did not respond to me, until there was a zombie attack. That night, the Holy Light found me again, and he showed me another picture in my mind, which was completely different from the previous one, this time in the picture of the sky raining and thundering, and four people, one carrying a giant sword, one wearing a cloak, one wearing a black robe and a black hat, and finally a pair of wings on the back, only the person with wings on his back floated in the air, and the other three were standing on the city wall. Ryder paused. "I understand that the Holy Light wanted me to find the help of these 4 people, but when I wanted to ask where these 4 people were, the Holy Light disappeared, and it was not until today, after I flew to the city wall under the guidance of the Holy Light, that I understood the meaning of the second picture, the 4 people in the picture are the 3 of you and me, in other words, this incident can only rely on the 4 of us!" Ryder finished speaking, looking at the other 3 people, but he found that the other 3 people were also looking at him, and he smiled.

"Wow! this is so cool!No wonder you would say you knew about it a month ago!"

"It's incredible! I was traveling alone a month ago!" Jane said, with an incredulous expression.

"What else is the revelation?" Compared to the others, Lianhua's expression did not change much, but deep down he was surprised.

"Yes, the Holy Light has revealed something to you, come and hear it!"

"Don't rush, listen to me continue. For the next few days, I tried to find a way to communicate with the Light, but unfortunately there was still no response. At this time, the number of attacks in the city began to increase and the frequency became more and more frequent. I went to the site a few times and was sure that the attack was related to the zombie disease, and I had seen some descriptions of this disease in the church literature before, and I also understood the meaning of the first picture that the Holy Light had shown me. Knowing the seriousness of this matter, I wanted to report to the lord and hope to get his help. It's a pity that I've been there a few times before I even saw the city lord's face, and I was blown away by a woman!" Ryder shook his head when he said this, obviously.

"Wait, you mean a woman?" Hearing this, Lianhua suddenly interjected and asked.
