The moonlight sword in Shade's hand has not disappeared. Because of the increase in his own strength, the translucent silver sword in his hand has some small runes on it. Of course, it is still unable to compete with Oran Nord in the Forest of Thousand Trees.
Compared with the lady's one.
His eyes looked at the blood mist alertly, and he saw the remaining dozen bats gathered together and turned into a pale, middle-aged man with yellow hair who looked like he was going to die in the next second.
The frightened little boy trotted up to the man and took his hand. The little boy also had yellow hair. Judging from the hair color, the two may indeed be related.
"thank you for your help."
The middle-aged man cautiously thanked Shade, still using the Kasenlic language, and he seemed to be quite wary of Shade. The boy he was pulling was hiding behind the middle-aged man, as if he was afraid of strangers.
people.
"You mean, you came in from the outside to save people?"
Shade asked in Drarian. The middle-aged vampire could understand it, but probably couldn't speak it, so he nodded and continued to speak in Kasonric:
"Yes, our clan has a special talent that enables soul communication through blood connections. I used this talent in reverse, arranged a ceremony, and asked my nephew to pull me in here. When I want to return,
Unfortunately, we encountered this thing. Did you come in from outside on your own initiative?"
Shade nodded, but did not explain what he had done, but asked:
"Is there anyone else alive here?"
"I don't know this, and I haven't been here for long."
The middle-aged man said embarrassedly, narrowing his slightly slender and feminine eyes, and then looked at the little boy behind him. Although the boy was still afraid, he still said intermittently:
"There are people, there are many people here. It's a gentleman, a gentleman with wings, who helped everyone."
"With wings?"
Shade and the middle-aged vampire frowned at the same time:
"Lester, what race is this person?"
"I don't know, I can't see clearly."
"How many weird things are there here?"
The vampire complained softly, and then said to Shade:
"Sir, I am Armand Bernhard, and this is my nephew Lester Bernhard. We are leaving. I wish you good luck. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will repay you."
It seemed like he was extremely afraid of this place.
"Wait a minute, where are the remaining survivors?"
Shade asked again. The middle-aged vampire couldn't give an answer, so he looked at his nephew and encouraged him to say something else.
The little boy looked at Shade timidly:
"Survivors, in the church over there."
Shade looked in the direction of the boy's finger, which was indeed the direction of Dawn Church:
"That gentleman's power allowed us to survive here longer, but I ran out after hearing my uncle's voice."
"Is that gentleman also in the church?"
Shade asked again hurriedly.
"No, not anymore. He said he had a mission to complete, so he left."
"left?"
Shade was a little confused and didn't understand what mission Priest August could have in this hellish place.
"Ok, I see."
"And, sir."
Probably seeing that Shade was not hostile, the boy had the courage to say more:
"Never step through that door."
"What door?"
"The real door to death. All living people who mistakenly enter this place can feel that there is a door here. Stepping through that door means truly entering death."
Chard heard this from Sister Michelle, so he nodded and said that he didn't have that idea.
So the vampire uncle and nephew said goodbye to the masked Shade. They could not leave until they returned to the place where the middle-aged vampire fell into his dream corresponding to reality. Shade continued to move forward according to the guidance of the pendant on his chest. As for other possibilities in the church
He had no time to care about the living people who still existed until he found Priest Augustus.
The huge city of Fort Midhill is reflected here in a specious form. Shade, who is walking forward alone, can clearly feel the rejection of living people in this place. Not only the occasional evil spirits, but also the environment itself
It is corroding the vitality of living people. Although you will not die immediately after entering here, even if you escape, you will probably become seriously ill or have permanent roots of the disease.
Even if he deliberately avoided the evil spirits lingering here, several battles would inevitably occur on the way. These battles were simple for Shade in his current state, but the consumed spirit and physical strength were difficult to recover, even if
There is divine support in the soul, and the recovery is still far lower than the consumption.
In the end, the pendant around his neck led Shade to the church of the Church of Nature and Evil in the city center. Shade stood at the door of the church suspiciously, wondering how the priest could come to such a place.
The Natural Church of Fort Midhill is one of the few buildings that Shade can clearly identify from behind the ruined tower in the mountains. The Natural Church was the first of the Five Gods Church to settle in this city. The church is large in scale and exceptionally grand.
After confirming that the pendant around his neck was still pointing firmly at the building in front of him, Shade walked up the nine stone steps at the door of the church, crossed the elegant white columns on the steps, and then stood at the closed gray-white metal door.
forward.
This was the first time he saw a church closed. Generally speaking, church doors are open 24 hours a day. He reached out and pressed the metal door of the church. The [Door Key] did not respond, indicating that it was not locked, so he suddenly
I pushed hard until my face turned red from holding it in, and then I pushed the door through a gap with difficulty, but still no sound was made.
Shade then entered the door sideways, and then found that the fog inside the church was much lighter, the temperature returned to normal, the air was filled with the smell of high-end spices, and there was actually light here.
The structures of the churches of the Five Gods Church are basically the same. Entering the door is the nave of the church. The high ceilings, stained glass windows, and religious paintings and sculptures that can be seen everywhere jointly create a sacred atmosphere.
Although the nave of the church in front of us has everything it should have, there are also things it shouldn't have.
Candles, white candles of different lengths and golden candlesticks engraved with the five sacred symbols, almost covered the entire ground, spreading between the benches, until they covered the pulpit of the nave at the front. There are almost no candles here.
Where he stood, because he pushed the door open, the white mist outside the door slightly penetrated inward, and the flickering firelight of these candles made Shade's huge shadow reflected on the metal door behind him.
Golden magical runes are engraved on the ground, walls and ceiling. Even the glass of the windows is densely covered with runes of different sizes. Silver metal wires shuttle above the head, intertwined and intertwined.
And hanging on the metal wires are metal charms, sheepskin scrolls, holy bells, holy emblems and a series of items with strong [miraculous] elements.
Entering the church, the strong [Miracle] element almost completely overwhelmed the other three elements. If the scene in front of me appeared in the real world, even if it suppressed the demon like [Human Pussy], it would probably have a strong effect.
"The church ever entered here?"
These magical items are all colored, which means that they were brought here from the real world. The huge magical ritual in front of us also includes [Mr. Dawn] [Old Man with the Lamp] [Lady Creation] [Peace Mercy]
The holy emblems of Father] and [Lord of All Things] could only be arranged by senior ring magicians of the Church of the Five Gods.
"It turns out that the church not only has the means to seal this place in the real world, but also here. Isn't it the core between life and death?"
He looked around with some confusion, and then he heard the answer.
"This is certainly not the core."
It's not the "she" in my ears who is speaking, but the man's voice.
Shade immediately turned around and looked behind the door. A man wearing brown leather boots and a black hunting suit was holding his hands on his chest, leaning against the white wall next to the metal door with a gap open.
"Can you read minds?"
"No, every living person who sees this place will think that this is the core of the narrow room, so I guessed what you were thinking."
His body is transparent, and through his body he can see the colorful murals of Zhengshen's sermons and magical runes on the wall behind him. At the same time, an equally transparent sacred talisman of the God of Nature [Lord of All Things] hangs on his chest.
Emblem, which means that he was a member of the Natural Church during his lifetime.
"I thought that all the souls here had no self-awareness."
Shade was not surprised, but looked at the soul in front of him curiously.
"Most of the souls sucked into this place have no self-awareness due to the special nature of the relics, and the possibility of evil spirits being produced here is greater. I am one of the few souls who retain self-awareness, but not because of natural reasons. It was before my death that
, the ceremony was performed inside the church.”
The man said, his stern eyes looking at Shade who was wearing a mask:
