Chapter 297. Mommy!
The Holy See was stunned, but Laurentia's eyes lit up!
Forthright!
He suddenly felt that Mungo was a sensible person, and there was definitely no reason for him to go against his title as Holy See.
Definitely no!
Then, he took a step back, which further highlighted the respected status of the Holy See.
"Haha, you're the best fighter in the church!"
An impassioned battle-intent gaze landed on the Holy See's face, as if he had been slapped in the face.
The Holy See noticed Laurentia's small action and wanted to curse, but he couldn't say it.
It wasn't that he couldn't fight, but that the power of the Holy Spirit had also allowed his level to rise rapidly.
However, the problem was that he was not good at fighting.
He was afraid of losing and he couldn't afford to lose.
Just as the Holy See was in a dilemma, a figure blocked his way.
"The Holy See is the spokesperson of God. Shut your blashmemy !"
When the Holy See heard this voice, he was moved to tears.
As expected of the Valkyrie!
Always stepping forward at the most dangerous moment!
However, the Holy See couldn't help but feel guilty and afraid.
He and Laurentia both understood their own intentions of fighting for power. They were only using Ortlinde, but at the critical moment, she was the only one who truly followed the code of Paladins as a just person.
A noble person was like a mirror. The Holy See could see through his own filth, and he also felt some disgust for it.
Laurentia could not sit by and do nothing. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he stood side by side with Ortlinde.
"I thought that the first time the Holy Sword and Holy Spear fought side by side was when we fought Zin'rokh. I didn't expect it to be now."
The Paladin's handsome face had a slight frivolity and smile, and his light golden hair moved without the wind, which simply interpreted the word "cool" to the extreme.
If an artist were to do a quick sketch with some embellishments, it would be a perfect picture between good and evil, justice versus injustice!
Ortlinde sized him up.
"Lord Laurentia, at this distance, I will be the first to be hurt when you swing your spear."
"Ahem, ahem..., you're right, Lady Valkyrie."
Laurentia awkwardly moved two steps to the right, losing most of his previous elegance.
His intentions were not accepted by her, which turned out to be tragic for his feelings.
"I'll lure him away later. You have to protect these innocent civilians," Ortlinde said in a low voice.
The Paladin looked at the surviving flesh cocoons and saw the pained expressions on their faces. He suddenly felt a little guilty.
The nobility of others made him feel uncomfortable with his own filth.
Before he could adjust his mood, Mungo on the opposite side began to attack.
"Hey, why didn't I see you stand up just now?"
Mungo pointed his nose at Laurentia with a look of disdain.
"If you can't get along with each other, you should figure out your family affairs first. What's wrong? You want to use me to get the limelight? Why don't you go alone?"
Mungo then grinned. "Don't tell me you are too afraid."
His thoughts were seen through, and Laurentia's expression quickly turned cold.
Mungo was just like a muddy whetstone. No matter who went up to sharpen their swords, he or the Holy See, they would become shinier and sharper if they weren't broken, and the gleam would overpower the other.
However, Laurentia was afraid of breaking the sword, or in otherwise, afraid to fight.
Although he seemed to be trying to create a good impression, he actually wanted to make use of Ortlinde. With her around, even if he lost, he could pretend that he was struggling to protect the Valkyrie. It would be even better if he could get hurt for her. The marketing effect would be even better!
Now, all of this had been seen through by the seemingly reckless but actually meticulous Barbarian leader.
Suddenly, a plan came to his mind.
"Indeed, I don't dare to," Laurentia replied generously and pointed at the flesh cocoon around him.
"I don't dare to hurt these innocent civilians. The Holy Spear never taints the blood of the innocent!"
"We claim to be the messengers of God, but we can't even save the civilians trapped here. We have disappointed the Seven Holy Spirits and wasted their protection. I concede," Laurentia said loudly.
"I'll leave, but before that, I want to bring these innocent civilians to the surface for treatment. I hope you can accept this request."
He spoke with a sense of justice, and the Paladins behind him all showed fanatical admiration.
Hypocritical!
The Holy See was cursing in his heart.
He had heard Ortlinde's words just now. Laurentia was simply trying to steal the limelight!
However, why did he not think about this method earlier?
It was really infuriating!
"Fine."
Mungo waved his hand. "You don't have to move out. You can treat them here. I'll see how you do it. After all, you all know this very well, right?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
Laurentia simply brushed it off and waved behind him.
"Half of you are in charge of treatment, and the other half is in charge of carrying the wounded away."
The Priests looked at the Holy See, as if they were still asking for his opinion.
"What are you still standing there for?" Laurent shouted angrily.
Even the Holy See was startled not to mention the Priests. All of them immediately carried out the order like an obedient child.
The Holy See wanted to curse, but he couldn't say it.
The atmosphere eased up a little, and the group of people got busy.
…
"What? You lost him?"
"Yes, my lord. And the 'Stagnation of the Holy Light' was not touched at all.
"I'll go take a look."
Laurentia came to the scene where the captives were tied up and found that the trap was indeed left there.
The Stagnation of the Holy Light had covered the entire camp's fence and the only way out. Could the escapees fly out of captivity?
"My Lord, look here!" Norman suddenly shouted.
Laurentia hurried over and found that a divine node on the fence had been opened with extremely clever means, causing a small area to lose cover. The escapees probably squeezed through this gap that could only fit one person.
"My Lord, the guards said that they were knocked out by one of their own, who was wearing a training Paladin's uniform. Normal intruders wouldn't have known this."
"I know," Laurentia frowned.
"My Lord, there's one more thing. I've asked the priest who woke me up, and he said that I've been poisoned. Only the Black Mamba tribe can produce this kind of poison, and that tribe happens to be of the same race as the tribe that Cisco lost to."
Laurentia's heart tightened.
All the clues were pointing towards a single outcome.
"I know."
He nodded and glanced at the Holy See, who was healing.
The Holy See's face was filled with the brilliance of benevolence, like a god walking on earth.
The prisoners of the Poison Gangrene Tribe who had been personally captured by the Paladins were all deeply moved, and the unruly expressions on their faces faded.
When they looked at the Paladins, resentment flooded their hearts.
"No wonder he didn't hurt a single guard. Our Holy See is really kind and generous," Laurentia muttered.
…
An hour and a half later, more than 5000 survivors were moved up, but this number did not match the number of people captured by the White Spirit Tribe. Mungo had learned about this from Char, so he crossed his arms and squinted at the others.
Laurentia understood what he meant.
"There are still some 'wounded' who are waiting elsewhere."
With that, he retracted his gentleness and put on a cold expression.
His words implied that he wanted to negotiate the conditions.
Everything they were doing now was to save the church's face and put on a show in front of Ortlinde. They wanted her to believe that they had captured people to save them and not for any other purposes.
Finally, it all went back to the initial plan.
They knew that there were ruins buried here, and that was their goal.
Due to Mungo's bizarre resurrection and Ortlinde's sudden intrusion, this matter should have been affected. But now, everything was back on track.
The Valkyrie was now on their side, and he also felt a strong desire to fight. He had never been in such a good condition before. Even if Mungo wanted to start a war, he was confident that he had the power to fight.
The Holy Spirits should be able to see clearly who was truly qualified to be the "spokesperson" now!
Laurentia's method was indeed effective.
Ortlinde was a little suspicious. Was it really like what he said, that all this was for treatment?
This was because there was an obvious contradiction in all of this.
If the church intended to use the blood of the innocent to resurrect the God of War who had died long ago, why would he fight with the church?
Indeed, this could be Char's doing.
But where was he?
Just as the young girl was pondering, the cave suddenly began to shake. A thunderous sound came from the ground, and it was continuous.
Then, the mud wall collapsed, and a terrible depression appeared in the mausoleum in the inner ring.
In the darkness, the mud under their feet was swept into the depression like a torrent. The mud and sand fell down like a vortex in the deep sea! The people present could not react in time and all fell down!
Mommy!
Ortlinde's back turned cold as she screamed in her heart.
Just then, she felt a familiar hand grab her.
"C-Char?"
…
An hour earlier…
While the situation in the sinkhole was in a deadlock, Char used half an hour to successfully reach the top.
There was no way to go down from here. Even if he wanted to drill a hole with his own hands, it would take at least a month of hard work.
Fortunately, he still had a tool!
He only waited for a few minutes before a piece of soil was lifted up, and a blood-red tentacle emerged from it.
"This is the place."
Char swung his sword, and the tentacle was cut off. It bounced on the ground and turned into a pool of sticky blood.
Then, he began to prepare his spell.
This was the signal that he and Zin'rokh had agreed upon. Although the master and servant were in cahoots, they still had to act well.
When the Dark Blood Demon faced an enemy it couldn't defeat, it would turn into a liquid to escape. The escape route it chose now was to go straight up.
The route was also the same route that Char went down by.
If the tentacle reaching deep into the ground was cut off, it meant that Char was nearby, and the next scene would be a tragedy of 'a demon coming out of the sewer, but a naughty child throwing firecrackers inside'.
Ten minutes later-
"Whoosh"
The soil around the bloodstain caved in as if it was collapsing. Then, a figure broke out of the soil. When its body was completely exposed to the air, it was the Dark Blood Demon who had absorbed all the blood below. Its body was as solid as red coral, and it was more than five meters tall, like a Demon God walking on land.
However, the moment this Demon God stepped out, he stepped on sh*t… or rather, a newly set up magical trap.
Ice, fire, mud, tornado!
All kinds of elemental traps swept through the lower half of the Blood Demon's body, making it cry out in pain. The chaotic magic power also seriously interfered with its perception, making it unable to detect a figure approaching from behind!
Zin'rokh actually knew it, but he could not do anything.
He felt wronged.
"Swish"
The "Fire of Origin " pierced through the heart of the Blood Demon like cutting a piece of paper and accurately shattered its "Heart of Bloody Fire".
After the successful attack, Char hurriedly jumped away and saw the Blood Demon's body suddenly burst into flames.
At this moment, the Blood Demon was supposed to be in its most powerful form of revenge, but half of its body was stuck in the mud. As the flames dried the mud, its entire body was stuck in the mud. It could only watch Char escape from the attack range while it was turned into a torch, twisting and turning desperately.
In the end, the fire extinguished.
He had successfully drowned in his own blood.
[You have killed Dark Blood Demon (Elite). Obtained 42500 experience.]
In terms of experience, this Dark Blood Demon was comparable to the famous Gorzomazane (the Nest Guardian).
In addition, there was a surprise!
[You have purified a large number of monsters. You have been rewarded for fighting against the abyss, the 'Guardian of Order'.]
-
[Guardian of Order (Badge)]
All attributes +10
[Guardian of Order: when you first meet all creatures of order, your reputation will be fixed as neutral +1.]
[Mana Monitor: receives a warning when the mana concentration reaches the threshold to produce monsters. ]
-
"So fast!" Char mumbled to himself.
In the past, the fastest one to get this was level 60. This time, it was obviously because of the two demon exterminating missions. The heart of the nest in Golden Butterfly City and the Nest Guard in Annapula.
The two rounds of taking all the experience had earned him full marks.
The attributes of this thing were quite particular, and this " neutral +1 " setting was quite useful.
When all creatures of order first met the player, their initial reputation would be judged according to the player's race. Most of them were neutral 0, with some having negative or weak hostile reputations.
At this time, a neutral +1 could guarantee that he would stand out among the vast majority of people. If an NPC wanted to find someone to issue a mission, it would most likely be him.
Char put away the badge and cast 'Float' on himself before jumping down from the hole left by the Blood Demon. He successfully avoided everyone's eyes and went straight to the entrance of the inner ring of the mausoleum.
When he arrived at the Holy Grail, the transporting of the meat cocoons had ended. They were still in a confrontation, so he put his hand on the Holy Grail.
Fortunately, he had left the Ark in Philin Town before he left Elfheim. Now that the "Pseudo Divine Space" was empty, he had the opportunity to put away the Holy Grail.
[Detected mechanical creation-Lightweight All-purpose Exchange Machine—Holy Grail. Do you want to bind it with the 'Pseudo Divine Space'? ]
"Receive!"
As soon as the order was given, the red wall and the red door suddenly disappeared. A dark hole appeared where the Holy Grail had been standing. It was like the abyss, waiting to devour people!
[Lightweight All-purpose Exchange Machine-Holy Grail has been stored. You have the right to customize your name once.]
[Name: Nth Pawnshop]
[Nth Pawnshop has been named[
After that, Char turned invisible and slowly descended. As the structure collapsed and the ground sank, he could see the panicked crowd outside. They were being sucked into the vortex of soil under the Holy Grail. Among them was a familiar figure, and Char quickly grabbed her.
"C-Char?"
