As the downline of the Church of Storms in Suniya Sea, Alger had prepared very comprehensive life-saving items through various channels, and deeply implemented the idea that the first priority of a wage earner is to protect his life.
This is also the core reason why they can survive until now.
On the wide bridge, a terrifying monster with curly horns angrily chased the two of them, its long claws leaving hideous carvings on the road.
"Buzz"
The necklace on Alger's chest glowed with blue light, forming a barrier in front of him.
The rapidly flying rocks were suddenly blocked!
"clang!"
The tip of the gravel completely penetrated the obstacle and got stuck in the middle of the shattered extraordinary object.
Even though it was the aftermath of a monster attack, it was still full of danger for him.
Alger hurriedly turned around and charged forward, sweat pouring down his forehead, taking full advantage of the 'Sailor' path to strengthen his body!
The monster behind him screamed and bent its legs to gather strength, and was about to catch up with Alger.
At the critical moment, Fors thought.
She suddenly appeared behind the beast, gritted her teeth, pointed forward and pulled the trigger hard——
"call!"
The flames followed the nozzle and covered the area within two meters in front!
The rolling red flames caused waves of heat.
The tongue of fire at the front successfully caught the beast.
Sure enough, the huge ram-horned monster let out a sharp wail the moment it was burned, as if it had an unusual and extreme fear of flames.
'Fortunately that person didn't lie to me about this or I would have been completely screwed!'
Forsi nervously squeezed the oil bottle in his hand, his fingertips turned white from the force, he turned around quickly and took the opportunity to flee to the other side of the bridge.
Neither Alger nor herself tried to kill this Sequence Five.
Because they don't have the ability.
The monsters are most likely to strengthen their bodies. Their past attacks only caused superficial wounds at most!
The two could only continue to play an exciting chase and escape race with the monster, turning the style into a parkour game.
It was at this time that Yager came in.
The sight before our eyes was devastated, with huge craters appearing one after another on the road. If the bridge had not been made of serious granite, it would have collapsed by now.
He turned his head silently and looked at the two people who were huddled in the corner and running away.
Forsi was the first to burst into tears when he saw him:
"Mr. Drester——"
"Help!!!"
Great, the escape game has become a comedy again.
Yager's mouth twitched.
It was very unexpected to meet Forsi here again. He originally thought that Audrey's presence would be very dangerous.
but……
Forsi and the strange man next to her seemed familiar.
It just so happened that Miss Audrey = justice, he could be sure of this. And Forsi seemed to have something to do with Tarot?
Looking back, the first time he got the honorific title of 'The Fool' was from Forsi's good friend Xio.
She should be Miss Magician.
The man with a rough haircut next to him looked very similar to the image of the Hanged Man. On his neck, he also saw the extraordinary items that the Hanged Man had traded at the Tarot Club.
The crowd that broke into the Holy Grail was already very clear.
Tarot Society.
But what would Tarot do running in?
There was a trace of confusion on Yager's face.
However, no matter what he thought in his heart, he still casually dealt with the monster that had already rushed in front of him.
【Eye of Black Sky】
Yager gently pressed his eyes.
Black and gray light gathered in the eyes, and then turned into a terrifying light, instantly piercing the sky!
"boom--"
The light penetrates the monster mercilessly!
The next second, the huge headless corpse slowly fell.
The blood spurting out from the fracture caused a light rain in the area.
Yager, Forsi, and Alger all had dots of blood on their faces.
The crushing strength and rough handling made Forsi's smile froze, and he began to tremble again unconsciously.
The two of them stared blankly ahead.
'It ended so easily?!'
The frozen expressions on both faces conveyed this message.
But in fact, a certain hunter didn’t want to show off his handsome secret technique in front of them——
But the monster is too tall.
When he jumped up, he could only hit its knees.
Yager on the steps quickly shook his head and put the embarrassing scene behind him.
He patted the flesh and blood on his body and walked a few steps in front of the two people who were frozen in the corner:
"Miss Magician, Mr. Hanged Man."
"Why are you here?"
In the corner, Forsi and Alger were each shocked when their Tarot Club code name was called out.
The other party saw through their disguise in the Tarot Club almost immediately upon meeting them!
But after a brief daze, Alger quickly greeted him humbly and hugged his thighs tightly: "Yes, I am indeed the Hanged Man."
"I was reporting to the church at sea, but suddenly I was involved in the ripples..."
Fors next to him nodded in agreement like a chicken pecking at rice.
She was also swept in by the ripples.
"Are you Mr. Bishop?" he continued.
"Before entering, I happened to receive a message about you."
"The church said that you disappeared in Bayam with the lady suspected of being the mysterious queen, and they are actively organizing a rescue. I am wondering if this matter is related to our coming in?"
The tactful Alger gave up hiding in this regard.
The Queen of Mystery…
People from the Church of Storms?
Yager also reacted immediately and raised his eyebrows: "Are they looking for me?"
".This is normal."
"However, that matter has now been resolved. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the reason why we are here."
"My guess is that today's accident is related to the Tarot Society, because this is probably the only intersection between the two of us."
"Besides, I just met Miss Justice."
Speaking of which, Miss Justice's true identity is the daughter of Earl Hall, and she disappeared at the banquet. This may cause an uproar in Backlund.
There are also many official members of the Tarot Society.
You have to think about how to handle it next.
He rubbed his hands together subconsciously, thinking about a solution.
After all, even if there is another person who pulls everyone into it, the world in the Holy Grail is closely related to him, and revealing it will cause a lot of trouble.
On the other side, Alger nodded solemnly after hearing Yager's analysis: "What you said makes sense."
"...But in that case, I'm afraid only Mr. Fool will know what's going on."
"Besides, there are only four of us now."
He raised his head and thought back: "Maybe we can meet Mr. Sun, Mr. Moon, and Mr. World later."
He subconsciously ruled out the possibility of Mr. Fool appearing.
That is true God!
Klein's strength was once again misjudged.
But this time, perhaps even some of the true gods' abilities have been misestimated...
And Forsi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked in a low voice:
"By the way, Mr. Hanged Man, how did you get involved in the monster incident? The gentleman at the door mentioned to me that there was only one clergy here at the beginning."
Alger's attention was immediately transferred to this, and his expression became solemn: "You are right, there was indeed only one priest guarding the gate here at the beginning."
"He claims to be the gatekeeper of the healing church."
"I met him when I first got involved here. He asked me why I was walking around the streets on 'hunting night'."
"However, at that time, I did not notice the note in my pocket, so I made a statement that was inconsistent with the request."
"Then the priest became like this!"
Everyone's eyes shifted, following Alger, and looked at the terrifying and twisted corpse of the monster on the ground.
It's hard to imagine that it turned out to be a clergyman.
"It wasn't until I was being chased that I dug out the note with the requirements in my pocket. I suspected that once we didn't act in accordance with the requirements, the locals around us would lose control and become wild beasts that hunt us!
"
Hearing this, Forsi took a breath of cold air, her delicate body trembling in the wind.
She was obviously frightened in this eerie atmosphere.
Yager frowned again: "Paper? You all have it? Can you let me see it?"
Alger and Forsi obediently took out the notes in their pockets and shared them.
Forsi’s is:
'You admire and you despise.'
'You believe that God's light will shine on the world, and those who bathe in the noble blood are the only salvation.'
Next to Alger’s is:
'You are a constant vigilant doubter, and you cannot tolerate the lies of liars for a moment.'
Combined with Audrey's request, these notes seemed to indeed grant outsiders the status of outsiders, ordering them to cooperate with some kind of progress in the Holy Grail.
Just as they were exchanging and analyzing the information on the note, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind.
What was even more surprising was that at the end of the bridge, the locked giant iron gate suddenly opened on its own!
The mechanism and gears operate, slowly lifting the heavy railings sunk into the ground upwards, revealing a wide passage from below to the top, as if they are welcoming visitors.
On the other side, a group of majestic knights were approaching quickly.
The leading male slightly raised a white handkerchief in his hand.
Yager's eyes moved as he turned around to look at the unexpected incident:
This item appeared in his collection!
[The symbol of the hunter leader]
[A silk emblem, belonging to the chief hunter of the church long ago. It can open the main door to the central church area. 】
[The main entrance will be tightly closed on the night of the hunt. From the outside, it can only be opened by this handkerchief. In other words, the return of the chief and this handkerchief determine the end of the hunt.]
The description of the object emphasizes that this handkerchief has had only one owner.
Hunter leader.
He looked at each other from afar with the cold man riding a horse at the front.
The two pairs of eyes have similar colors, but show completely different personalities.
For Yager, besides the handkerchief, what also caught the eye was the long sword raised from the man's back.
He is extremely familiar with it.
Moonlight Great Sword.
The sacred long sword that can connect to the moon, in his hands, once beat Medici mercilessly, leaving his defense vulnerable.
At least it is a Sequence One extraordinary item.
Coincidentally, the Moonlight Sword has only had one owner.
The person coming must be the chief hunter of the Healing Church—Ludwig!
The black horse slowly stopped near the three people.
Ludwig looked down at the front and also noticed Yager for the first time:
"New hunter?"
"You look familiar."
Unlike Fors and the others who had an atmosphere of safety amid the danger, on the clock tower, Klein Moretti encountered the biggest crisis since he came to the world.
The dark red light of the setting sun shines through the intricate carvings on the clock face and into the top floor of the building, illuminating the interior furnishings.
Wooden finely crafted tables and chairs are neatly arranged in the empty room.
In the middle, there are several tall mahogany beds, supported by silver medical poles next to them.
A large blood bag was hung on each medical pole, and the needles were inserted into the patient on the bed along the long transparent tube.
But the problem is, these patients are not human!
They have blue wrinkled skin, mushroom-like smooth heads with mucus, and ugly non-mermaid eyes.
Failed experiment!
Klein covered his mouth tightly, hid his frightened expression behind his hands, and hid under a desk by the window.
His legs were curled up, and no matter how narrow the space under the table was, he was determined not to let any inch of his body be exposed to the shadow.
As someone who has played Bloodborne, he certainly knows where he has landed:
The experimental building of the Healing Church!
After discovering the holy blood that could cure all diseases, the Healing Church took possession of all of Yharnan's resources and used them to continue research on blood in secret.
The blue mushroom man on the hospital bed is one of the failures.
But more importantly, in the game's timeline, all the church members guarding the experimental building have died, which makes it easy for players to pass
But not here.
A drop of cold sweat ran down Klein's tense face and onto his clothes.
He was already sweating profusely.
Because, just a few steps away, were several priests wandering back and forth in the ward!
Several of them were wearing ordinary black church robes and were just common experimenters, while a few others were wearing black pointed hats.
That symbolizes the highest level organization of the Healing Church, the choir.
Klein is sure that each of them has an attack power of Sequence 5 or above.
Although in front of the real strong men, their strength can only be regarded as mere fish, but compared with him, a former Nighthawk soldier who can't even get along with the church's top leaders, it is already too difficult to deal with!
What a pity, he is only at Sequence Six!
How to defeat a group of elite teams whose lowest level is higher than his?!
Klein could only huddle in a corner, using up all his extraordinary items and sequence abilities to hold his breath and avoid being discovered by people outside. His actions to escape the laboratory and find an exit were slow and slow.
But the opportunity soon came.
On the third minute after he hid under the table, there was a loud noise outside the ward door.
"what happened?"
The priests who were focused on the experiment looked up in shock.
For a while, there was a constant sound of chaotic footsteps.
"Experimental subjects escaped?"
"No, someone seems to have lost control outside?"
"Sound the alarm!"
"There is an intruder!!"
Various sounds were transmitted through the door panel of the ward to the inside.
It almost took less than two seconds for the choir members in the room to react suddenly and burst out of the door. Their neat moves confirmed their extremely high status, and they rushed towards the corridor with a strong murderous intention.
The remaining experimenters also methodically and quickly took out terrifying weapons from all corners.
Two people even took out their heavy Gatlings and joined the team to clean up the intruders.
The healing church is full of martial virtues.
Klein couldn't help but tremble when he saw all this through the reflection in the window, like a poor puppy crying in the wind.
But with this oppressive movement, everyone in the laboratory also left.
Empty areas tempt explorers.
