Chapter 371 Blasphemy and Sacrifice, Protect the Dawn
Chapter 371 Blasphemy and Sacrifice, Protect the Dawn
Wojciech Island is hidden among dozens of surrounding islands, like a silent and terrifying beast, full of blue flames and rumbling vibrations.
The magma spewing from the volcano, under the action of the rune array connected to the tower, is constantly absorbing energy and converging on the top of the tallest tower.
The terrifying temperature and the original aura emanating from the tower were like the breath of an abyss beast, with heat waves rolling out one after another.
"Wojciech..."
On the hot high wall, Lotilia looked at the dozens of towers in the city-state with a calm expression.
"Boss, we can't delay it for too long..."
"Hey, Hammer Girl, what are you talking to yourself here alone?"
Lotilia's face turned cold, and the light from the lava spewing reflected on her face. She gritted her teeth and said, "'Viper,' are you looking for death?"
"Hammer Girl, when you call me by my name, please call me the full name of 'Vicious Viper'."
The owner of the voice appeared beside her. His long gray and white hair was tied back by a hairband. His face was covered with wrinkles and looked very old. His narrow triangular eyes flashed with two bright pupils, and there was a lewd smile on the corner of his mouth.
"The 'Vicious Viper', Mr. Higgins," Lotelia generously accommodated him, took out the big hammer and held it in front of his face: "How do you want to die?"
"Oh... Lady Lotelia, I was just joking..." Higgins raised his hands, his lewd expression faded, and he said with a sneer.
"You've finished what you were told to do. Are you in the mood to joke?" Lotilia swung her arm sideways and swung the hammer mercilessly.
Higgins bent down and lay down halfway, avoiding the hammer hitting his face. Feeling the scorching wind of the hammer, his triangular eyes could not help but widen a bit.
Then, before she could continue to swing the second hammer, Higgins turned around, rushed to the other side, patted his chest and said with lingering fear:
"Ask as you ask, don't do anything!"
"Hmph! Tell me, have you confirmed the identity of that person?" Lotilia held the hammer in both hands and stared at him with a cold expression.
"I, I'm just here to report this matter to you,"
Higgins swallowed his saliva and thought that Black Jack must have gone crazy before.
There are so many beauties with beautiful looks and excellent figures, but he is blind, how dare he provoke her?
"explain!"
"I investigated everyone who had been outside the high wall in those two days, and there were three people who were very suspicious."
"Three?" Two horizontal lines wrinkled on Lotilia's crystal clear forehead, "Who are they?"
Higgins nodded and said seriously: "Two of them are tower guards, Caridi and Amato. Both of them are from the Western Sea. One is from Landsworth Island, and the other is from Susis Island. ”
"According to the results of my investigation, they all took advantage of the gap between guard changes to climb over the high wall and go to the jungle to the east. They stayed there for about three minutes and then returned as usual."
Lotilia nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: "Where is the last one? Is he the most suspicious?"
"It's not that we found any obvious evidence about him," Higgins hesitated: "It's just that his identity is somewhat special..."
Lotilia's eyes suddenly flashed, and those figures appeared in her mind, and she asked coldly: "Is it them?"
"One of them!" Higgins nodded, "You also know that their identity, strength and status on the Black Pearl are almost as good as Black Jack. If we investigate in depth rashly, I'm worried that..."
"What will happen?" Lotelia interrupted: "If the betrayers can succeed, then there will be no need for the Black Pearl to exist."
"That's true, but you also know their influence on the Black Pearl," Higgins sighed helplessly: "And you are the only one on Wojciech Island now. If that bastard Black Jack is here, , others can be more convinced.”
"You mean those bastards aren't convinced by me?"
"..."
Higgins glanced at the big hammer in her hand, feeling helpless.
Believe it or not, she should know, right?
When it comes to Hammer Girl, the entire Black Pearl is more afraid than convinced...
"What I mean is that you are too distracted to focus on the boss and cannot take care of those lower-level bastards."
"In addition, they stayed on Wojciech Island for too long. Many of them have long forgotten the pirate code. They spend all day drinking or playing with girls. They have no intention at all..."
"So, I should give in?" Lotilia glared at him.
"Of course not, I..." Higgins gave up the plan of persuasion and said instead: "Let's continue talking about that person."
"According to the feedback from the rune circle that day, he went out twice that day. The first time was thirty-two minutes, but he left with Lindy."
"The second time I was alone, for one hour and twenty-one minutes, in the same location as the first two, both in the woods to the east."
"Is there an investigation there?" Seeing him getting back to business, Lotelia took a deep breath and asked.
"I've looked around and found no useful traces. Even if I used potions to show their behavior, I couldn't see anything unusual."
"Is it because you can't see it or are you hiding it on purpose?"
"This..." Higgins looked bitter, "Lady Lotelia, how can you curse?"
"Hmph, haven't you done this kind of thing enough?" Lotelia snorted: "Ever since you've been in this position, you've been covering up for those bastards all day long. Has something happened now? Do those people take your feelings into consideration? "
"Now that the location of Wojciech Island has been exposed, tell me what kind of person that person would think of you?"
Higgins opened his mouth, helplessly watching her get angry for no reason, and said to himself: No matter how bad my evaluation is, it can't be worse than yours, right?
"Then do we still need to continue the investigation now?"
"Check! Why not check?" Lotelia turned to look at the scorching high tower, her eyes flickering: "Now someone has come here, I think people from the outside world will know about Wojciech's new information soon. Location."
"So, before that happens, we have to get him out!"
"What are you going to do?" Higgins thought for a while and asked.
"Lure him out," a sneer appeared on Lotilia's face: "Go and deliver a message, saying that Black Jack will be here soon, in two days."
"First mate, he..."
"Do as I say and leave the rest to me."
Higgins hesitated and nodded: "I understand."
"Go ahead, I believe the winner must be our Black Pearl!"
"Um……"
Watching Higgins disappear into the shadows, Lotelia flipped her wrist and put away the sledgehammer, and continued to look at the tall tower in the center of the city-state, while her fingers silently pressed on the pocket watch in her palm.
It's as if nothing has happened and no one has been here...
…
…
The Eastern Continent, the Holy Land.
From the top of the Papal Palace down, you can see twelve palaces side by side on the second floor. The huge stone pillars shine with golden light, and the red tower tops are majestic and majestic, representing the twelve cardinal archbishops of the Church of the Dawn.
Below, there are eight palaces, which are slightly smaller than the two floors above.
From left to right, they are Judgment, Heroism, Kindness, Judgment, Wisdom...and Profanity. Each palace has a different color style.
Not only that, the complex emblems on the doors of four of the palaces shine brightly - Judgment, Heroism, Kindness and Blasphemy.
It's just that compared to the three of them, the emblem on the door of the Palace of Goodness is a little fainter. People in the sanctuary know that when it shines completely, it will be the time when the fourth saint of their Dawn Church will ascend the throne.
At this time, all the knights outside the palace gates were paying attention to the profaned palace on the far right, with different expressions.
"The knights of the 'Profane' Knights are here!"
"You can rest assured."
"Huh? Aren't you worried? With them here, you don't have to worry about the 'blasphemy' power causing us knights to 'sacrifice'."
"I hope..."
The eyes of these knights wearing various armors fell on the leader.
"'Blasphemy' Saint Carrie Morris..."
"Your Majesty!"
Carly wore a white-gold half-length armor and a double-layered battle skirt from the waist down. The outer layer was strong and the inner skirt was very long, almost reaching the ground.
At the same time, there was a large black sword hanging on her waist. The sword had a wide blade and a sharp blade. It had no scabbard and danced lightly with her movements.
Carly looked at the three thousand blasphemous knights kneeling in front of her and said calmly: "Melbel informed them to go."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Melbell walked up to the knights, his mask under his long feathered hat moved slightly, and the power of blasphemy on his body formed a complex mark, and he said coldly:
"Set off!"
"Desecrate the sacrifice and protect the dawn!"
The blasphemous knights in black armor shouted in unison, and the power of blasphemy condensed on the complex mark above, slowly forming a black and golden throne, as if to welcome the person on the throne.
Carly stepped up to the throne, waved one hand, and guided forward with the black sword, "Let's go to 'blasphemous'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the power of the great sword spread, covering everyone, turning into a light and shadow and leaving the sanctuary in an instant.
…
Northern Continent, the city-state of Imaguire.
"Ho ho..."
"Crack, click, click..."
Weird and terrifying roars came one after another, coming from outside the high wall, making everyone in the city feel at ease.
"There are so many undead creatures. I have never felt as safe as now."
"Yes, as long as we don't actively seek death, go out to bask in the red moon at night, or come into contact with era relics, we will all be safe."
"Didn't you see that the nobles were much quieter? The arrival of the ghost wizards probably made them happy."
"Haha... You are so unforgiving with your mouth. Are you still happy? Those nobles want the ghost wizards to leave as soon as possible."
"..."
At this time, in the center of the city-state parliament, Salvatore looked at the legendary wizards present and chuckled:
"Have you heard the noise outside? Except for the nobles, everyone welcomes us to stay here."
"Haha, Salvatore, why not just clean out the nobles? In other words, converting them into undead creatures is a good way."
"Seconded!"
"I also agree. I happen to have a lot of high-quality consumables for me to use in my experiments."
"..."
"Shut up, everyone!"
Salvatore's face darkened and he snorted: "You bastards, why are you still the same as when you were in the institute? You are either thinking about the project or the experiment all day long."
"Then what do we want?"
"Think about this Cordo sea expedition!"
The legendary wizards looked at each other with smiles on their faces: "Salvatore, can you tell me the details of this expedition?"
"We didn't get the exact information from Chief Waclav before, so it's time to know the details."
"It's nothing to do with Chief Wakraf. I just think that the enemies that we, the ghosts, can unite with the Mystery of the Spirit and the Blood Spirit School to deal with are not just those from the Twilight Sect, right?"
"Is the Twilight Sect considered an enemy? Those ugly monsters seem to have weird abilities, but they still use our wizard's methods," a skeleton wizard said: "It is a very simple thing to kill them."
"You must be so nervous..."
Salvatore couldn't help but sigh as he watched the legends speculate on the details word by word.
Of course he also wanted to tell these people the truth, but that bastard Wakraf didn't tell him either. He only said that he would understand it naturally when he got to the sea.
"Okay, that's not what I came to you for today."
"We have just made contact with the Occult School. They will arrive at Rinaison Island tomorrow, so we should set off today."
"The person leading the team this time is Deputy Rosa. You should be aware of her identity and strength. Don't mention the past things tomorrow."
"Huh? Legend Salvatore, are you referring to that time when you were blocked in the Secret Tower? Haha... I promise not to mention it."
"The most annoying thing is you, Zahir!" Salvatore snorted: "Everything about this alliance is mainly about this expedition."
"Of course, of course..."
…
…
"Ready, aim, shoot!"
boom!
boom!
Two gunshots sounded almost simultaneously.
The two bullets blasted the deep-sea deformed mutant's head one after the other.
Marco announced the result directly, without even looking at whether the wounds on the two deep-sea mutants were in critical positions, "Winner, Wizard Wynn!"
Milus put down the [Explosive Sniper Rifle] and shook his head helplessly: "Wizard Wayne, your marksmanship is the most powerful and unique of all the gunmen I have ever seen."
"Whether it's hit accuracy, rate of fire, or power, the Wynn Wizard wins."
As the most powerful gunner on the Bekli, he is ranked first even in the entire Black Pearl.
"Milus, please take them to continue training. I will talk to Wizard Wynn about something."
"good!"
After the others left, Marco's handsome face showed a little sadness.
"What's wrong?" Wei En raised his eyebrows.
"After training for so long, I am still at this level. I feel like there is no improvement."
Wayne: "..."
Is Marco comparing himself to him?
It's somewhat overestimating one's capabilities...
His spearmanship level has been upgraded to the master level. According to the notes on the panel, it takes hundreds of millions of shots to train him.
Even if the gunners in Milus stayed awake, they would not be able to achieve such a training effect without spending decades.
More importantly, the consumption of those bullets is not something they can bear.
Thinking of this, Wei En smiled: "You are becoming more and more like a captain."
Marco said with emotion: "Yes, now I finally understand how difficult it was for that violent woman Lacey."
"By the way, have you contacted her recently?"
"Some time ago I..."
