Whispering Verse

Chapter 778: nun of thorns

"oh?"

The high ring warlock of the Church of Peace, and everyone around looked at Shad with strange eyes. Of course, Iluna's "balance" ability has been used many times, so the church and Iluna are very clear about what kind of people will have what kind of results.

And according to the results just now

"Hello."

Mr. Landau's tone became respectful. People who can have this kind of kindness and order are worthy of respect everywhere:

"I think it turned out okay."

"Is this an alignment aptitude test?"

Xia De pretended to be curious and asked, Iluna nodded:

"I think it's okay too."

"Then, sir, please enter the church with us. If you want to help, we sincerely invite you to join us in resisting the next enemy. The church will not treat any kind-hearted people who help."

So Xia De gained trust in this way.

"No problem, but just now on the way here, I met a short deformed man, he said"

Xia De informed the church that the final attack was coming in half an hour. Mr. Landau did not doubt Xia De's words, but asked him to describe the characteristics of Joey Barton in more detail.

A group of people entered the narrow natural church through the main entrance of the church. Compared with when Shad came to rescue Priest Augustus, there was not much change here.

There is almost no fog in the room. As far as the eye can see, there are white candles of different heights and elegant golden candlesticks. Colorful religious murals and sculptures of various styles create a sacred atmosphere. Silver threads shuttled above the head, intertwined and entangled with each other, and metal, stone, wooden and even bone charms were hung on these metal threads, as well as a series of objects with strong miraculous elements, such as holy emblems and holy bells.

When Xia De stepped over the threshold, the holy bell rang like a wind chime. The sound was extremely pleasant, and everyone who watched him carefully breathed a sigh of relief.

The only difference from the last time is that the rows of wooden benches that should have existed were temporarily moved to the wall to smear the ritual matrix on the ground with instant noodles. Now there is a strong bonfire in the center of the main chapel, and the flames are very warm. Just being illuminated by the fire, Xia De actually felt the spiritual and physical strength in his body recovering.

The Orthodox Church has mastered the method of recovering the spirit in a narrow room, and this cluster of bonfires is equivalent to a resting point in the church.

There is a smell of high-end spices in the room, which seems to be a mixture of a large number of ritual materials. Xia De thought he would see a lot of people here, but after a quick glance, including the dozen or so people who returned to the church with him, there were no more than twenty people in the main chapel.

"There shouldn't be only these people, it seems that they should be scattered all over the church."

The ghost I saw last time did not show up this time, and besides Iluna, there are no other low-level magicians here, and the magicians who were placed in the narrow space are at least 7th level. In the sixth era of the material world, apart from the three major thaumaturgy academies, only the Orthodox Church has so many people.

Mr. Landau tactfully stated that Xia De should not leave the main chapel, and then arranged for Iluna to lead Xia De to the campfire for rest and treatment. As for him, he needs to communicate with the real world and pass on the information Xia De shared just now.

After getting close to the bonfire, physical strength and spirit began to recover at a level far beyond the real world. And after sitting down by the bonfire, the sense of comfort even made Xia De feel that even a little mental fatigue would be healed.

Everyone seemed to have something to do, and everyone subconsciously lowered their voices in this solemn and solemn church, which made the empty and sacred church seem like countless people were whispering something.

Although a wave of attacks had just been repulsed, only a few people were resting by the campfire. Among them is a young nun wearing a crown of thorns and a white robe.

She knelt on a dark red cushion, folded her fists and lowered her head, praying softly in front of the campfire. Judging from the few passages Xia De heard, she is a Ring Warlock of the Church of Nature. When Xia De sat down, because of the closer distance, Xia De even judged that the opponent was a high-ring warlock, either nine rings or ten rings.

In the firelight, Xia De could barely make out the other party's closed eyes, which seemed to be disabled. Because there are continuous thorn lines on her two eyes, and the lines even penetrate into the eyelids, which is impossible for normal people's eyes.

"This one, can't be the divine descendant of the Church of Nature, Sister Thorn?"

Xia De thought with some horror, and the strange sense of holiness on the other side also made him preliminarily affirm his guess.

Now he understands why the church didn't arrange thirteen-ring warlocks to be stationed here.

"Ms Shirley Winster."

Iluna called softly, then introduced the outsider to the nun who looked up, and took out a water bottle, asking her for help in treatment. Ms. Shirley Winster didn't speak, she took the water bottle and shook it lightly, then handed it to Iluna.

Iluna signaled Shad to roll up the sleeve of his right hand, and then poured the warm water from his shoulder onto his arm.

Obviously the bones were not reset, but when the water in the water bottle fell down the skin, Xia De actually felt that his right arm had completely recovered.

Afterwards, the nun wearing the crown of thorns called out a corner of the ring of life, and at the same time as the [healing] miraculous rune flashed, she cast some green light with thaumaturgy. Tiny light spots jumped into Xia De's body, and all injuries since entering the narrow space of life and death were healed.

Xia De finally breathed a sigh of relief, he chose to take the risk to meet with the church, it seems right, the current state has returned to the intact state when he left the House of the Blind.

Thinking about how to avoid other people from communicating with Iluna, the nun spoke at this moment:

"Sir, may I borrow your sword?"

She spoke Carson Riek, but with a much lighter accent than the owl. .

Grain beetle

"No problem at all."

As he spoke, he handed over [Night Watchman].

Sister Shirley Winston held the sword in both hands, brought it to her side, carefully pulled it out of the scabbard, and brushed her fingers over the runes on the sword:

"It turned out to be [Night Watchman]."

"You know this sword?"

Xia De asked curiously:

"This sword is not my original sword, but I found it in the mountains after I came to Midhill Castle."

"Yes, this sword is very old. It is a relic of the demon hunters of the third era. There are not many angel-level long swords passed down in the material world. Although the reputation of this one is not obvious, we have recorded it."

She handed the sword back to Shad:

"The church once recorded this sword, and the famous astrologer of the Fifth Era also performed divination for this relic. It will be the key to solving a catastrophe, and it appears here now. When you get it, do you get it? Any additional information?"

"Its previous owner was a ring warlock hundreds of years ago. The other party seems to think that this sword cannot leave the Xikale Mountain area. Therefore, this time I took it into the narrow room."

The nun wearing the crown of thorns nodded:

"It is rumored that [Night Watchman] has the power to enhance the effects of thaumaturgy, spells, and rituals. If it is inserted into the center of the 'Scar of the Holy Tree' ceremony... Sir, after the battle, can you talk to us about it? talk."

Xia De understood her thoughts:

"Okay, let's wait until the end of the ceremony."

"Thank you for your help, you will gain the friendship of the Church of Nature."

The "friendship" at this time obviously means that the church will not take Shad's sword for nothing.

Not long after, the rest of the rest stood up and left. They all had their own responsibilities, and the thorny nun also walked towards the depths of the church.

Xia De watched the back of her leaving, and temporarily put the fishing rod on the back and the lantern on the waist on the ground. Then, he carefully took out a silent charm from his pocket. But Iluna stopped him. After shaking her head slightly, she drew a circular symbol on the ground with her fingers, and then asked Shad to put the spell into it.

"There are too many warning ceremonies here, don't rashly use alchemy items without divine marks."

Although she was speaking, her mouth was only slightly opened so that others could not see that she was speaking:

"Don't worry about me sitting here alone with you. I'm here to monitor you. Although you have passed the camp test and received great trust, you are still a stranger from outside. If there are no accidents, during your stay in the church, You can’t leave our sight. But other than that, you can use all the equipment here, you can get some spells over there, and the nuns next to you can add some beneficial enhancements to you, and the atonement on the right can now be used as a magic weapon. It is used in the medicine workshop, as for the alchemy tools, it is behind the pile of long chairs on the left."

Iluna introduced in a low voice that now the main hall of the church has completely become a war preparation room:

"You take a break first, just join me in resisting the undead at the main entrance of the church for a while. The pressure here is much less than that on the mountain. While waiting for Joey Barton to appear, if you kill enough undead, you can still receive it in the church." For rewards including high-purity holy water, I have taken a fancy to a very good set of alchemy jewelry. This is a wartime reward system, and we must abide by it."

"I'm really well prepared, can I exchange it into gold pounds, cough cough, I mean, let you follow me all the time? Isn't it better?"

Xia De stretched out his hand to warm the fire and responded in a low voice.

Iluna carefully controlled the high-spirited smile on the corner of her mouth, her pretty face was illuminated by the fire, and she added:

"It's because you have passed the faction test almost perfectly. Otherwise, you can only get some food and water. However, don't worry too much about the situation here. There are many middle-ring warlocks in the narrow church, and there are 30 high-ring warlocks. There are many people, including 5 people in the 12th ring. Don't look at the number of people here, in fact, a third of them were sent out to clean up the surrounding evil spirits in advance and scout the direction of the next wave of undead."

After all, the undead did not appear suddenly, but swarmed from a certain direction, so peripheral investigation was very important.

"In addition to the high-ring warlocks of the Church of the Five Gods, among the high-ring warlocks, three are fortune tellers from the [Prophet Association], two are professors from the Higher Medical College of Seksese, oh, and two are from the underground. The elders of [Apna Library] came. The fortune tellers are on the top of the side tower, and the professors of the college are in charge of maintaining the "natural light" ceremony in the center of the church on the second floor. I don't quite understand it. This is natural Something from the church. Two elders from the library, in the basement, assisted in setting up the formation of the 'Scar of the Holy Tree' sealing ceremony. Except you, no one can enter the [Gate of Death] without protection. passage, so the underground work is very complicated.”

"Apna Library" is a group of ring warlocks who have made friends with the Church of the Five Gods, and its scale is about the same as that of the [Blood Spirit School]. It is said that the headquarters is in an underground cave somewhere in the Old Continent~lightnovelpub.net~ They aim to protect knowledge, but they are not in the same world as Old John and the [Light Guiding Priory] to which Mr. Edmund, the tower keeper, belongs. Collecting knowledge and protecting civilization before the doomsday is different, "Apna Library" purely takes collecting and preserving knowledge as its own mission.

A member of the Apna library, they mostly believe in the righteous **** [God of Creation and Destruction] - Ms. Creation, but they also have other weird beliefs. They are behind many of the black markets in which knowledge is traded in the Old and New Worlds.

But the relationship between "Apna Library" and the three major thaumaturgy academies is very bad, even somewhat hostile.

This is not because of a conflict of purpose between the two, but because the college wants all the collections of the library, and the library also wants knowledge and books spanning two eras in the libraries of the three major thaumaturgy colleges.

Each side believes that the other is coveting its own knowledge—although it is, hence the subtle antagonism.

Of course, this hostility has nothing to do with the correspondence ring warlocks.

In addition, "Apna Library" also trains its own students in the form of Thaumaturgy Academy, but because it is not very famous, Xia De only heard it from Dr. Schneider.
