Chapter 12 Night Attack on Medusa!

The night gently envelops the royal city.

The temple was quiet, and the neat footsteps of the soldiers patrolling the night were from near to far.

Meggie is hiding in an alley. With him were not only Molly and Greenless, but also the God of War priest named Bugell.

God of War is an ancient god that existed a hundred years before darkness, but it is somewhat different from other gods. Basically, every god has a name, such as the goddess of the moon, Salna, the elf goddess Ajame, Luna, the goddess of holy light, the dark evil god Shastine, and the "moon goddess" and "elf goddess" are often just a pronoun. To some extent, it is actually similar to the nickname.

But "God of War" is an exception. It does not specifically refer to a person or a god, but just a priesthood, or even a symbol. When there is a character who can become a legend by "fighting" in a certain era, if that person can pass strict trials without dying, he can become a "God of War" until his legend is gradually forgotten, and the legend of another era passes the trial.

So, the "God of War" is not a specific god, but one legend after another. This is also the reason why after a hundred years of darkness, other ancient gods fell one by one, and the "God of War" still exists. Because even after a hundred years of darkness, there will still be "legends".

Of course, in this kingdom with Noswell as the main faith, priests who believe in the god of war are so rare that even Meji is curious and doesn't understand where Sophia found him.

The priest of the God of War read a few words gently, and a few flashes of light flashed. Meiji and others felt that their eyesight became clear, just like in the daytime. This is the effect of night vision. Then, the priest took out several scrolls and recited them to Megsy, Molly and Greenless. There is no obvious effect this time, just make them feel that something has been coated on their skin.

"This is 'protective petrochemical'," the priest lowered his voice. "It can prevent you from being petrified by Medusa's eyes, which can only last for two hours."

"Two hours should be enough." Molly nodded.

They began to dive to the side door of the temple as planned, and an iron bar stood in front of them. Greenless turned over flexibly with little effort. Molly is more troublesome. She has to throw her sword from the iron fence first and then climb up with the priest. Megi didn't want to bother, so she gestured, opened a shadow door, and transmitted herself directly.

"Soundless casting." The priest muttered.

After turning over the iron fence, they continued to walk in. Compared with the past, the guards in the temple are not only much fewer, but also very lax. With little effort, they slipped into the good door and into a confession room.

Greenless squatted down in the confession room, groped between the cracks in the stone bricks for a while, and lifted one of them. He pulled something in the small hole that was exposed, and then a wall opened and a tunnel leading to the bottom appeared.

Under Molly's arrangement, Greenless walked ahead, and Molly followed him closely, followed by Meg and God of War Pastor Boegel.

"If you see a snake-haired banshee, go to war directly, don't talk to her," Molly said. "This is Her Royal Highness's order."

"Aren't we going to figure out the secret it hides?" Megsy doesn't understand.

"If that secret is really important to that extent, it's not what we should know, understand?" Molly stared at him, "Don't try to understand what you shouldn't know."

That makes sense. Even if you trust them again and let the secret be known by four people, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Sophia to fall asleep. In particular, the word "secret" sounds very uncertain. For Sophia, since working together with the church is the only choice to deal with the current crisis in the kingdom, it is better to let it be buried.

"What's more, it's hard to say if there is really any big secret. It's likely that Medusa just caught the evidence of something stupid thing done by Lord Sarai, and it's possible that Sarai didn't want to lose face in front of the princess and deliberately exaggerated that secret."

Mage nodded. In fact, this explanation is actually more convincing. Just...

Mage secretly glanced at Molly. Why did she say this at this time?

Greenless's face was still so gloomy, and the priest nodded and seemed to think Molly was right.

Meji's heart was cold.

There is no doubt that these words were said by Sophia to Molly.

After all, the "secret that can threaten the church" sounds so powerful that no one can guarantee that no one will be curious enough to affect this operation. Moreover, even if this so-called secret is not revealed by the snake-haired banshee, the fact that "there is such a secret" alone may lead to various rumors. Therefore, it was Sophia's intention to deliberately induce the secret into being about Sarai in red. After all, even the previous pope has done the scandal of a young girl, and it is not surprising if Sarai is caught by that Medusa.

In the past two days, I saw Sophia's haggard appearance that I unconsciously regarded her as a weak woman. However, how can a woman like her who can secretly establish a secret organization behind her father and brother, and even the lone wolf general Leot have been netted as her subordinates, be weak?

"Meggie, what are you in a daze?" Molly stared at him dissatisfiedly.

Meggie quickly collected his mind.

Maybe, it's just my own nonsense. If Sophia is really guarding them, then she should not have revealed to them that the snake-haired banshee knew a certain "secret" from the beginning.

But what if she revealed it on purpose?

Meggie feels a little headache.

They walked carefully down the tunnel. Along the way, Greenless lifted several organs.

Gradually, the smell of blood is getting heavier and heavier, which is simply disgusting. Knowing that she would soon face the enemy, Meiji quietly added a layer of stone skin to herself.

The snake-haired banshee finally appeared in front of them. Her cheeks were covered with scales and her hair was curled with poisonous snakes. Her long body was immersed in a basin of blood, strange and smelly.

"Who are you?" Her voice is as hissing as bamboo silk.

Molly did not answer and rushed to her with a sword in both hands. The snake-haired banshee twisted her body and lay on the wall and turned her head to stare at them. Meiji drew her hands and shot an acid arrow at her, but the snake-haired banshee did not move, and a pair of golden wings emerged from nowhere to block the acid arrow. Blood dripped from her body, thick and extremely disgusting.

"Did Sarai send you here? That bastard, I knew he didn't keep his word. The snakes on her head spit out snake letters, suddenly lengthen them, and bite Molly one by one. Molly waved her sword wildly and cut off more than a dozen snakes by her. The snake-haired banshee hiss angrily and jumped to Molly, and her golden wings shook away the girl's sword. Fortunately, at this time, Bugell also rushed up, holding a huge hammer made with magic in his hands, and continuously knocked on Medusa's golden wings. Although he could not penetrate her defense, he finally shocked her away.

And Meji's second casting has been completed, and a layer of earth and stone wraps Medusa.

However, Medusa cut her hands randomly and cut the earth and stones to the ground one after another. Meiji was shocked, but he didn't know that the hand of the snake-haired banshee could be used as a knife. The battle continued, and for a moment it even became a little chaotic. I don't know what the golden wings of the snake-haired banshee are made of completely ignoring magic and physical attacks. Fortunately, its injury has not recovered. Although it has fought back again and again, it has been blocked back with the cooperation of Molly and Pastor God of War. And Meggie just stood behind Molly and kept shooting cold arrows, making it extremely embarrassed.

"Damn Sarai, isn't he afraid that I will tell the secret of Noswell's magic?" Medusa roared, realizing that the situation was not good.

The god of war priest, who had rushed to her, couldn't help but stop, and even Meiji couldn't help pricking up his ears.

"Let me tell you what your so-called Lord God is. He is actually just..."

Hang!

Greenless suddenly appeared behind her and stabbed her directly in the back of the neck with a dagger. However, the snake-haired banshee also had a piece of scales hidden in her neck. Although it was stabbed by a spark by the dagger, it did not hurt her. Despite this, the snake-haired banshee lost her balance in his surprise, and even her golden wings could not be closed, so she was hit on her chest by Molly's sword, who rushed forward.

In fact, even Meiji was stunned. At the beginning of the battle, because he focused on Medusa, he didn't notice where Greenless had gone. And now, Meji doesn't know how he got out from behind the snake-haired banshee. There was no one in his position just now.

Can he be invisible?

"It's over." Molly withdrew the sword and said lightly.

"Be careful." But Megji shouted.

And Greenless had pedaled on the wall, knocked Molly down with a rebound force, and rolled on the ground a few times.

"What the hell are you doing?" Molly was about to get angry, but she found that Greenless was bleeding. Obviously, she was accidentally injured by her sword when she knocked her down.

"A lot of snakes." Meiji quickly reminded Molly.

Molly turned her head and saw that Medusa's body was scattered into countless snakes of various colors. If Greenless hadn't reacted very quickly, I'm afraid she would have been entangled by these poisonous snakes.

Vipers swim to them layer by layer, colorful and shocking. Molly quickly helped Greenless retreat with the priest.

"I'm afraid these snakes have to be eliminated," Meiji felt a little nauseous. "Otherwise, that Medusa is likely to be reborn again."

"It's really troublesome," Molly frowned. "Meggie, I'll leave it to you."

What does it mean to give it to me? Meiji looked at the snakes and was stunned...
