Chapter 360: In the midst of strife

According to his own words, Glori did not stop and did not bother anyone for a meal. Glori even chose to walk along the fields, bypassing the village from the east.

In a wooded area not far from the City of Honor, Glori is looking for a place to stay in order to solve the problem of food and clothing. A church with vines covered in trees and vines appeared before Glori's eyes.

Pushing aside the walls of vines and the wooden doors filled with iron nails, Glori stepped over the threshold. The threshold at his feet was stacked on top of each other, a little higher than Glory had imagined, as if it had been designed to cope with the overflow of the river across the church.

Glancing back at the river he had just crossed, Glori realized that the rain was falling again. He took two steps closer to the church, and Glori had to look up because of the coldness dripping from his forehead.

"So...... Tonight, we're going to have to spend the night against the wall. ”

Looking at the church without the top, Glori did not complain. There was just a hint of doubt that puzzled Glori. The whole top of the church, as if it had been moved by something. As a result, the whole church looks as if it was not finished. But in fact, the church is fully furnished except for valuables.

The benches with red paint worn off by the praying people, and the colorful windows that shine with a glimmer of light...... Even, there are some untidy handwriting left on the wishing board.

There is a line of writing, very clear: I pray to the god of light, may the coming year be drizzle.

There is also a line of handwriting, very blurry, as if someone has rubbed it with an elbow: May the moon god come down to the world and grant me wealth and glory.

Zooming in from a distance, and occasionally looking at his feet, Glori walked along the narrow road sandwiched between benches on the east and west sides, and found some scattered weapons. There was a sword that clanked at Glori's feet, and it was still a sword with a missing tip. Another sword, to Glorry's right, pierced the back of the bench.

There were no victims and no blood.

Glori had wanted to pick up one of the swords and take a closer look. However, the hunger caused by the cold made Glori a little overwhelmed. And the dust is one of the reasons why Glori doesn't want to continue to explore the root of the matter. Even if there was a fight, it must have been too long.

Continuing on, Glori found only traces of a fight in the church. The traces are not only what Glori saw just now, but there are even deeper. At the end of the narrow passage, above the podium, a crack seeped into the rainwater, to Glori's surprise.

If it was magic that tore the wall apart, Glori would have accepted it. But what if it's caused by a sharp weapon?

Stepping onto the podium, Glori took a closer look at the cracks in the walls. To Glori's surprise, the cracks were too neat, dividing the entire wall into one left and one right. Glori frowned. To dispel his doubts, Glori picked up a sword from the podium.

The handle of the sword, like the swords that Glori had seen before that had been left behind in the narrow passage and bench, had a "fire" shaped counterweight. The word "fire" is a common emblem of rune churches.

He looked at the other scattered swords one after another, but Glori couldn't find a different one.

If someone slashed at the wall with these thin, crudely crafted swords in front of him, it would be impossible to destroy the wall into the miserable appearance in front of him.

However, Glori couldn't tell if it was the followers of the Rune Church who were fighting among themselves here, or if they were in conflict with the other side. Sitting down the wall and looking at the doorway, Glori found a line of sword marks across the door.

"Rune Church, scum of the kingdom. Glori read the handwriting on the gate.

"Obviously, this place has been cleaned up by one of the forces. Luna pulled her sword off the bench and sat down. Shaking Jiro's legs, Luna stared at Glori. "But what does this concern to us?"

"Maybe, it has something to do with us. Because, we're going to rest here. Glori shook his head.

What Glori means is that since you have passed by here and seen what is happening here, you can't ignore it. And, as Glori remembers well, this was not the territory of the Rune Church.

As he travelled with Mr. Mayne, Glori had been here. Although it was short-lived, Glori remembered the stone carvings on the east wall: if you turn the torch stone carvings, you can see the open dark lattices on the walls. Hidden in the dark compartment are the scrolls of people's prayers. If I'm not mistaken, Glori can still find the one he wrote in the dark grid. Even the scrolls written by Susan and Dylan are in the dark grid.

Pointing to the stone carving of torches on the east wall, Glori said, "There, there should be a dark grid." At the time, I was a teenager and had been here with Mr. Mayne. ”

Reluctantly helping Glori, Luna pouted and got up. She walked to the east wall and touched the stone sculpture with her right hand entwined with the fire of darkness.

The stone carving, without spinning, was burned directly by Luna. While the molten was still smoking, Luna used a trace of black mist to pull the scroll out of the unconcealed darkness.

Opening the scroll, Luna nearly throws it away in disgust. It's as if what is written on the scroll will burn Luna's hands. Pinching the end of the scroll with her fingers, Luna stared at Glori.

"What did you show me?" said Luna, depressed. Dream life

"Look, the dark grid where the prayer scroll was placed is there. What you see is nothing more than people's pursuit of beauty...... Some wishes. ”

Glori was confident.

Glori was surprised to see Luna pull out another scroll with dark magic. This is because the scroll that Luna is holding now is not a prayer scroll, but a leather scroll made of thinner material.

"Blue star, there are some people's secret letters hidden in this. Seeing that Glori didn't know anything about it, Luna became proud. Luna then unsealed the wax seal and read the contents of the secret letter: "Inform the church people that Javier's whereabouts have been known to the 'Benevolents.' ”

"Javier?"

Glori asked, muttering to himself. Apparently, the letter said about the whereabouts of Bishop Javier of Light. Moreover, this is a branch church of the Church of Light.

So, when did the fight happen here?

Glori understands that after becoming the King of Order, what Kyle must do is purge the loyal servants who support King Velon. Naturally, Javier is also one of the things Kyle has to deal with. As a result, the church in front of him, after Kyle became the Queen of Order, should no longer be suitable for the Light believers to hide.

So, the fight that took place here was supposed to be shortly after Kyle's betrayal.

If the Kingdom of Alex is still alive and anyone dares to attack the Church of Light, they will have to be a guest in the Inquisition Court of the Bloody Blade, and the person presiding over the interrogation is still Javier. In other words, after Kyle's betrayal, the Church of Runeteres set out to deal with Javier.

Glori was thinking. I don't know who left a figure. The figure, through the crack in the wall torn by the sword, stretched until a ball of paper slammed into Glori's shoulder, and then curled up and disappeared.

Seeing the paper ball, Glori was a little happy. Because, he remembered the scene when he accepted the mission of the Revival Corps. Putting his thoughts aside, Glori opened the paper ball.

"It's dark, but you're not afraid to hunt for prey at night. Get out of here before dawn...... Don't be a victim in the dark. In the City of Honor, a secret is hidden in a closed liquor store. If you want to contribute to the kingdom of Alex, you have to check it out. ”

Glori whispered, reading the contents of the paperball.

Who will be the one who drops the paper ball?

Looking back at the prayer board, the line of handwriting clearly visible made Glori's eyes twinkle. "Luna, maybe we've run into a member of the Church of Light. I mean, the paper balls are from the congregation of the Church of Light. He probably visited here a few days ago. ”

"In other words, our whereabouts have long been known. And that person may also have a rebirth stone. Otherwise, how would he know we'd be passing through here?"

Luna burns the scroll with a look of disdain. She thought to herself that if she met the believers of the Church of Light, she should let them taste the revenge of the dark fire, and if the person who used the Afterlife Stone appeared, the fate would be even more miserable.

"It's better to talk less and do more. ”

Glori kicked the weariness out of his nose and got up. Without concentrating, he let the blue flame burn on the tip of his right index finger. Watching the roll of paper turn to ashes, Glori walked down the narrow alley.

"Even though you and your brother can make the tracker cry and beg for mercy, we can't rest here either. At night, the darkness happens to need light to find us. And we, we get rid of them while they can't see clearly. ”

"It's good, I know that there is danger out there and I have to take on the challenge, which is exactly what I want. Luna is glad that something interesting is finally happening. It would be better if Glori could be deflated.

As Glori said, things are all the sameβ€”neither teaching dark magic nor finding fault with Glori, Luna looks depressed at the expense of Glori's acceptance of the benefits and the troubles.

Luna's reaction, Glori sees. However, Glori doesn't care what bad ideas Luna has in mind.

Glori remembers that the Church of Runeterris was an offshoot of the Church of the Dark Veil. In fact, the Church of Runeter originated in the knight city before King Velen conquered the kingdom of Norton, and the god enshrined was the moon god. From what he heard, Glori also learned that the Runeter Church had a vendetta with the previous Duke of Norton.

Wolfer's father, the Duke of Norton, supported Veron's plan for equality. However, most of the members of the Church of Runeterras today are nobles from the Norton family, belonging to the category of people who have been robbed of their wealth by King Velon, who are narrow-minded, selfish, and vying for fame and fortune, and are bent on destroying the kingdom of Alex, contrary to the will of Duke Norton.

Naturally, it was not unusual for the Rune Church to crush the Church of Light. After all, Javier, the leader of the Church of Light, also supports King Velon's plan.

Thinking about it, and walking out of the church, Glori finally saw the anomaly in the forest. A figure, not very tall, was curled up and hiding among the flowers.
