Chapter 358

In Yalda, there is a remote village on the border next to the Death Forest, and there is a dilapidated church in the north of the village. This church is strange and different from ordinary churches. The only thing that is similar is that there is a cross on the front wall. However, this cross is incompatible with the whole church and looks extremely awkward.

In the church hall, a priest dressed as a priest, a man in his sixties knelt in awe in front of the shrine and prayed, saying a word in his mouth. The door behind opened, and the dazzling sunlight shot in from the outside, illuminating the whole hall. A priest came in from the outside with white sunshine on his back, and then closed the door, and the hall was dark again. The priest who knelt on the ground did not look back and was still praying, as if the God of Light was everything to him, but if you listen carefully, you can find that his prayer is very different from the classics of the Light God. Later, the priest slowly walked behind him, waited for a moment, and said with a smile, "If the God of Light knew that you worshipped another god in front of his portrait, he would be so angry that he would come from heaven to kill you, Aggre." Alesson ended his prayer, stood up, turned around and said, "It would be best if he comes. I'll scold him before he kills me." Alesson's eyes were dark and unfocused, but when he said this, he was shining and powerful. After saying this, he returned to his death in the first half and said, "Cavlin, why are you here if you don't stay in the Holy Mountain?"

"Of course I'm here for something important." Kavlin smiled and said righteously, "The tsunami three hundred years ago is clear." Alick's face was slinching and said, "Is it caused by the strong man from the alien world recruited by the big summoning array?" Cavlin said, "I'm not sure yet, but there is a great possibility. Let's take a look at this." He took out a book-sized crystal plate from his clothes on his chest and read a few spells. The magic fluctuated slightly and suspended the crystal plate. With the aggregation of magic, a hazy light lit up on the smooth plane. First, it showed a fortress, and then the camera approached, reflecting a gorgeous costume on the tower that was drinking. Youth. When the spell sounded again, the young man ignored the elemental attributes and released magic one after another. Then the picture changed again. A meteor firestorm appeared, and a white light was shot from the sky. He was hit back by the young man, and the whole crystal board was immediately bright white. Alik's expression changed wildly and he was shocked, "It's even possible to fight against divine punishment, this..." Kaflin said, "With this power, it should not be a problem to cause a tsunami." The mouth moved slightly, and the spell changed again. The picture switched to a small town. A trench more than 10,000 meters long crossed the town. Wherever, the houses were opened. Where the trench passed, the soil and masonry were faintly crystal.

Agreko was secretly surprised, but he came to his senses, meditated for a moment, and then shook his head and said, "No, if your guess is correct, how can you explain that he has not appeared for three hundred years?" Cavlin nodded and said, "This is also where I'm confused." Aggreko changed the image back to the previous close-up lens, looked at it carefully for a while, showed a thoughtful expression, and said, "Have you noticed? His external characteristics are slightly different from our human race, but they are also different from the previous summoners. It's like...it's like..." Cavinch said, "What is it?" Alesson said, "It's like the goddess of salvation recorded in my teachings." Aggreko looked at him in surprise, then stared at the image and said in surprise, "It's really similar to what you said. Does he have nothing to do with the big summoning array, but another god?" Aleko frowned and said, "I can't judge either. In a word, we'd better prepare for the worst." Kaflin said, "You mean... But now that the goddess of salvation has been sealed, is that still effective?" Aggreko said, "If the situation deteriorates to the point of that year, we will only have a dead end. It's better to try than to wait to die." Kaflin sighed, "You're right. I'll just arrange it."

......

Outside the Holy Lady's Hall, on the edge of the cliff next to the lynx, Rick and Stoke quietly looked at the sea of clouds on the side. For a long time, Stoke suddenly smiled and said, "Cuncle Rick, you have made me miserable." Rick was stunned, then reacted and said, "I'm just following orders." Stoke said, "I know, I don't blame you, otherwise I wouldn't stand here and talk to you." He paused and said, "By the way, aren't you from Arda? Why didn't you join Arda's army and choose the temple? If you are in charge of those troops, I may not have a chance to go north. Rick smiled faintly and said, "Really, you're flattered." Seeing that he didn't care, Stoke just smiled and said for a moment, "Who is she?"

Rick was slightly stunned and knew who "she" meant. He smiled and said, "You won't fall in love with her, will you? She is an old monster who has lived for 30,000 years, and she is more than your ancestor." Stoke looked at him in astonishment and then smiled, "I didn't expect that you, who are called the pride of the Eastern Continent, will hurt people behind people's back." Rick knew that he didn't believe it and said, "This is not slander but a fact. She is the saint who was determined by the demons and the gods when they sought the help of human beings 30,000 years ago. Isn't it an old monster? Stoke was stunned and said, "Are you kidding?" Rick said, "Look at me, do you look like you're kidding?" Seeing his look, Stoke believed three points and said, "Then how could she appear in the Holy Mountain?" Rick didn't say a word, just shrugged his shoulders. Stoke said suspiciously, "You really don't know?" Rick shook his head, as if he remembered something, and said, "There is a guess. Do you want to hear it?"

Stoke said, "Of course." Rick sorted out his thoughts and said, "She was brought to the Holy Mountain by the former Pope three hundred years ago, when he was still a cardinal. Since I brought it, I have been locked in this shrine. Of course, strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as detention, because she has no mobility in the first two hundred years, and she can't leave. The Pope attached great importance to her and guarded her very closely. The Elf clan once sent people to secretly sneak up the holy mountain to try to take Estella away, but was captured by several guards on the spot..." Stoke glanced at the guards at the door of the Holy Hall in the distance and said in surprise, "Are those guards so strong?" Rick shook his head and said, "Since the death of the former pope, the defense has not been very tight. These people are just retired members of the Order. They can stop you, but they can't deal with the masters. Stoke touched his nose and smiled. Rick continued, "I guess the former pope was planning a big event, and Estella was the key to this matter, so he placed Estella in the most well-defended sanctuary. As for the current Pope's deregulation, it may be because the probability of success is too low.

Stock thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you're right." After saying that, his face showed a look of thought again. Rick saw his expression and said quickly, "You'd better not have any ideas. Even if the Pope really doesn't value her, he won't let you take her away." Stoke laughed and said, "Didn't you say she was a 30,000-year-old monster? How could I do this?" Rick looked at him suspiciously, saw his face as usual, and said, "Just think so." With that, the two walked down the mountain side by side. After noon, Rick sent Stoke to the foot of the mountain, and Stoke drove the horse given by the temple to the mountain slowly.

......

Wang Qi lay quietly on **, looking up at the curtain on the top of the bed. The different light of his eyes penetrated the darkness of the night. Wherever he could see, everything was displayed in front of him in the form of energy. With the intensity and change of energy, it showed colorful and fluctuating. Wang Qi poked his hand out of the quilt. As soon as Linkong pointed, he saw the whole energy map as if the lake had been thrown into a small stone, swaying and fluctuating. This point slightly drove the balance of the energy body. Wang Qi felt in a trance and quickly closed his hand. His eyes returned to their original state, and his eyes turned dark again. Suddenly, the side door opened gently, and then there was an inaudible sound of footsteps. Wang Qi was secretly surprised. When the man came to his side, he suddenly said, "Breaking into someone else's dormitory in the middle of the night doesn't seem to be in line with etiquette." The man obviously didn't expect that he was still awake. He suddenly stopped and said, "You're not asleep?" It's a woman's voice, cold and slightly soft, and there seems to be no malice.

Wang Qi didn't sit up and said, "Why are you here?" The woman said, "I was ordered to take you away." Wang Qi said, "At the order? By whom is it ordered? The woman said, "Your Highness Stoke." Wang Qi suddenly remembered the virtue of Stoke that day, and couldn't help laughing. The woman walked to the edge of the bed, picked him up and quietly walked out of the house. Wang Qi intended to leave the Holy Mountain for a long time, but he didn't have enough strength to stay until now, so he did not resist, but said, "The Holy Mountain is heavily defended. Are you really sure?" Without saying anything, the woman accelerated her pace and quickly came to the backyard. She climbed over the wall and walked around the wall, like walking on the flat ground, looking directly at the cliff below like nothing. Wang Qi was a little surprised and asked, "Do you know that there is a forbidden demon area below? It is impossible to escape by magic. If you fall down, you will die." The woman still didn't answer, and her figure didn't shake. Obviously, she knew about it for a long time. Wang Qi closed his mouth and said nothing. He was gently and coincidentally taken to the Holy Hall by the woman. He walked the road to the Pope's Hall and took the path down the mountain.

The woman walked like flying, like a gust of wind. Her posture was ethereal and silent. She easily dodged the guards in the residential area and took Wang Qi to the vicinity of the playground of the Knights. She was about to continue to go down the mountain. A shadow in the forest in front of her came. The woman drew her sword and heard a jingle. The ice crumbs splashed around The temperature seemed to drop a few degrees out of thin air. The woman bounced back several feet, put Wang Qi on the ground, and was careful to be on guard. The leaves in the forest rustled, and then a person came out of it slowly, stood in front of them, and said, "You are from Stoke. Leave her and you go."

The stars and moon were lightless at night, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Qi recognized that he was Rick. Before the woman opened her mouth, Wang Qi smiled and said, "It's strange that you obviously don't like the temple. Why did you stop it?" Rick said, "If you escape today, the defense of the Holy Lady's Hall will be more stringent..." Wang Qi was stunned for a moment, understood what he meant, smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back with you." The woman grabbed his collar and said, "Don't go. I'm going to take you to see Your Highness." Wang Qi pointed to Rick and smiled, "If you think you can beat him, you might as well have a try." The woman pulled him behind him and stepped forward and said, "Do it, Captain Rick." Rick didn't say anything, just raised his sword.

The two jumped up at the same time, and a sword hit each other. When the two swords intersect, they heard a slight muffled sound. The woman flew backwards like a broken kite and plunged into the bushes, while Rick stood still. The woman struggled out of the bush and didn't look at the two of them. She went straight down the mountain. Rick didn't stop her and said, "Do you need me to take you back?" Wang Qi smiled and said, "No need." After a while, Wang Qi returned to his bedroom and continued to sleep without mentioning it. After that night, everything was as usual on the Holy Mountain, and the woman did not appear again. Wang Qi practiced swordsmanship every day, reviewed the magic of the past, and performed a hard-won Dharma ritual for himself. Although most of the effects were offset by the body's anti-magic ability, it still had some effects after all. Estella's body was originally not afraid of magic, but now it is even difficult to hurt physical attacks. Wang Qi's intention gradually rises, but because he didn't want to implicate Rick, he didn't even have a chance to meet Emil, so he endured it.

......

One afternoon, Rick poked his head from behind the wall and glanced at it for a moment. Seeing that only Wang Qi was in the sword in the courtyard, he quickly jumped in and said, "Where's Emile?" Wang Qi smiled and waved his sword to Rick. In a blink of an eye, Rick was in front of him. Rick was terrified, but his reaction was also extremely fast. In an hour, he drew his sword to defend himself and blocked the blow. At this time, he only felt that his arm was sore and weak. He quickly moved his fighting spirit before slowly recovered. At that moment, he looked at Wang Qi in disbelief, and his heart was full of question marks. Seeing that he had recovered, Wang Qi's follow-up moves came out and went away looking for the key points. Rick resisted for a moment and was shocked and sweated coldly. If it hadn't been for not surprising others, Wang Qi would not have tried his best. He would have been injured under the sword. He finally found an opportunity, jumped away and said in astonished, "You obviously don't have a fighting spirit. How can you have so much power?"

In the past few years of knowing Rick, Wang Qi has been in contact with Douqi for a long time. He has studied it and knows that the so-called Douqi is essentially a magic of alienation, but this magic is more stable and difficult to perceive. The cultivation of fighting spirit is somewhat similar to the Dharma ritual, which can improve people's attributes, but the fighting spirit is temporary, but the Dharma ritual is permanent. In terms of the future of development and the effect of auxiliary attacks, the fighting spirit is far more than the Dharma ritual. However, in terms of defense, recovery ability, life expectancy, coping with sneak attacks, etc., the French ritual is far better than fighting spirit. He smiled and did not hide it. He said, "This is called a magic ritual, which can permanently improve the strength of the caste. Ha ha, do you want me to help you implement it once? Rick didn't expect Wang Qi to say so. He was shocked and said, "What are the conditions?" Wang Qi smiled and said, "What are the conditions between friends?" He thought for a moment and smiled, "At most, when I leave the Holy Mountain, you just don't work hard."

Rick said, "Are you still going to leave the Holy Mountain?" Wang Qi smiled and said, "Why are you so surprised? Shengshan is not my home. I have been here for 300 years, and it's been long enough." Looking at Rick, he said, "Don't worry, I will leave openly and won't affect your private meeting." Rick blushed and then said in shock, "Are you going to break out?" Wang Qi smiled and said, "Why not?" Rick remembered the strength he had just shown, shook his head and said, "No, no." Wang Qi smiled and said, "Sit down on the ground and I'll perform the ceremony for you immediately." Rick was surprised and said, "Just now? Don't you need any preparation?" Wang Qi said, "What do you want to do with a complicated method?" Rick was stunned and sat down cross-legged. Wang Qi opened a magic barrier, and then slapped Rick's head. The magic surged out in an instant and swam all over Rick's body.

Wang Qi let go of his hand and said "Okay" and stood aside. Rick stood up, sensed his physical state, and found that his body was extremely strong, seemed to have infinite power, and his mental state had reached the best level. For a moment, he only felt shocked. Wang Qi removed the magic barrier and smiled, "How about it?" Rick bent down and picked up a stone. He didn't fight. He just pinched it gently and turned into powder. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Can this ceremony work on the mage?" Wang Qi smiled and said, "This was originally prepared for the mage." Rick was greatly surprised and said, "Is this ceremony the era in which you were born?" Wang Qi shook his head and smiled without saying a word. Rick sighed, "If this ability is made public, I'm afraid that illegal occupations will decline in the future." Wang Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if I am willing to teach, no one can learn it. As a magic swordsman, you don't have to worry about the sky.

While talking, Emil came from the corridor. Rick didn't care to ask about the French ceremony and quickly greeted him. The two leaned against the pillar of the corridor and whispered, and Wang Qi practiced his sword under the tree in the distance. Half an hour later, he put his sword back into the sheath. Hearing the two talking about the mainland war, Wang Qi went over and listened. Although he has never left the Holy Lady's Hall, in the past 300 years, he has also met many saints and has a good understanding of the continental pattern. At present, he is ready to leave, so he naturally needs to understand the current situation of the outside world. Rick said, "Stoke was unlucky. His reinforcements were caught in the wind and waves at sea and fed all the fish. And the Western Grand Canyon Fortress can't attack. In fact, it has fallen into a desperate situation and is not far from defeat. Wang Qi interrupted and said, "Although the Grand Canyon Fortress is steep, hasn't part of the fortress been destroyed by the barbarians? Why can't it be broken by the military strength of Fars?" Rick shook his head and said, "It's not that they can't attack, but that they don't dare to attack at all." Wang Qi said, "Why?" Rick said, "Because they blocked more than a dozen dragons in front of them and blocked their way."

Wang Qi was stunned and said strangely, "Isn't the dragon clan never involved in human infighting?" Rick said, "That's right. It's just that there seems to be a person in the Grand Canyon Fortress who can fight against divine punishment. The dragon clan seems to have been invited by him." Wang Qi was in the Temple of Light. Naturally, he knew what the concept of divine punishment was. Suddenly, he remembered Antiirus and said, "Do you know what that man looks like? Are you in your forties?" Seeing his surprised face, Rick hesitated, "Why do you care so much about this?" Wang Qi said, "You don't have to ask, answer my question!" Rick said, "It's not clear. We don't have any spies in the fortress." Wang Qi sighed and said, "Forget it. When I go out, I'll go to see it by myself. Anyway, it won't take long." Emil was surprised and said, "Are you leaving, Estella?" Wang Qi nodded and walked alone in the distance.
