Chapter five hundred and eighteen: X believers are disgusting
Lu Qing and Knight Myron followed Yorick and were soon taken to a vast hall.
As soon as she entered the hall, Lu Qing squinted her eyes subconsciously. Compared with the darker corridor, this hall was incredibly bright. She raised her head and saw the glass dome with complicated branches and leaves carved on the surface.
Under the sunlight, these branches and leaf patterns exude glass-like colors and look beautiful.
The bright and dazzling light in the hall was scattered from such a dome. Lu Qing's eyes quickly adapted to the light and looked at the scene in the center of the hall.
The first thing that came into view was a thick tree about twelve or thirteen meters high. Under the tree, there was a green grassland and white stone bricks piled neatly on the edge of the grassland.
On the periphery of the white stone bricks, the clear and translucent spring water rippled slightly, reflecting the sunlight scattered above the dome. There were a few priests here and there, standing at the edge of the spring with their heads bowed and praying.
Lu Qing looked around and found that in addition to these priests, there were also some civilians in the city sitting on the neat wooden chairs in the hall, praying something with their eyes closed.
"This is the root hall used for prayer. The tree you see is actually an ultra-small branch of the holy tree extending from the far edge."
"We used magic to make her grow leaves. It looks like a real tree, but in fact it is just roots." Yorick said expressionlessly as he looked at the roots of the holy tree in front of him.
The object of prayer is the roots of the holy tree, so is it called the Root Hall? The name is quite straightforward... Lu Qing thought in her heart after hearing Yorick's words.
"Has she been specially adjusted like this by you?" Lu Qing asked curiously.
"Yes." Yorick nodded and said without hesitation: "It is impossible to carve a miniature version of the sacred tree statue. Even an ordinary tree is very laborious. It is better to just carve the sacred tree's statue.
The roots will guide us here, since the royal capital is so close to the holy tree, we might as well make good use of it."
"As for making it look like this, it's just for the sake of looking good. After all, if it looks good, more people will be willing to pray or donate some money to the church."
"Yorick, there are still civilians here, and you are not afraid of being heard by others." A woman wearing a Manulife Sam uniform couldn't help but say after hearing what Yorick said.
"They can't hear it because I have already cast the soundproofing spell." Yorick turned his head and looked at the woman after hearing the woman's voice.
"...Did you forget that you are not allowed to cast spells in the Hall of Roots?" The woman took a deep breath and raised her forehead.
"As long as no one knows." Yorick said seemingly unconcerned.
"I already know..."
The woman shook her head and felt that it was better not to continue discussing this topic with Yorick, so she turned to look at Lu Qing and Myron Knight.
"..." As soon as she turned her head, she saw the crown on Lu Qing's head. She couldn't help but breathe quickly, and the words she wanted to say were suppressed.
"Hello, Your Highness Princess, uh, I didn't disturb you, right?" the woman said looking a little nervous.
Yorick frowned, and then said: "I am introducing the structure of the cathedral to Her Royal Highness the Princess. To be honest, you are disturbing me..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Qing interrupted him in advance: "No need to interrupt, it would be good to get to know more priests."
"Huh." When the woman heard Lu Qing's words, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately replied: "Thank you for your tolerance. I still have work to do, so I will leave first."
After finishing speaking, the Priestess fled away from here. After seeing the other party leave, Lu Qing asked Yorick curiously: "Who was that just now..."
"That is Bishop Kayla, my colleague, but because she has just become a bishop, she is still not used to the work of a bishop." Yorick explained to Lu Qing.
"That's it, then where should we go next?"
"Following the order, I will take you to the library next..."
...
Half a day passed quickly as Yorick took Lu Qing and Knight Myron to get familiar with the cathedral. However, after Yorick took Lu Qing to run through every part of the cathedral, a wave of
The sound of commotion came from the front of the corridor.
"What happened?" Lu Qing looked forward curiously, but as soon as she finished speaking, a pungent smell of blood poured into her nostrils.
"Something happened!" Knight Myron obviously also smelled the smell of blood. He and Lu Qing looked at each other and quickly walked over. Seeing this, Yorick also followed behind calmly.
After arriving at the place, Lu Qing discovered that the Pope was also here. He was standing in front of a room door with a serious face. The pungent smell of blood came from behind that door.
"What happened?" Knight Myron strode to the Pope's side and asked directly.
"Someone was attacked." After the Pope saw Knight Myron, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied.
"What's going on?" Lu Qing also came to the Pope and asked.
"I don't know." The Pope shook his head and explained: "The thing is like this. I heard Bishop Kayla say that she had made an appointment with Bishop Raf to go to the library to search for information."
"But when she arrived at the place, she found that Bishop Love had not arrived. After waiting for a while, Bishop Kayla thought that Bishop Love had forgotten the matter, so she asked someone for Bishop Love's location."
"Then she opened the door and found that Bishop Raff had been killed?" Knight Myron raised his eyebrows and said.
The Pope did not speak, but nodded. After a moment of silence, a priest walked out of the room, looked at the Pope with a pale face and said: "The scene has been inspected and it is confirmed that it was done by the Guiji Sect.
There are still some traces of void erosion."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." The Pope nodded, then looked at Lu Qing and said, "If you want to go in, please be mentally prepared."
"I understand." Looking at the pale face of the priest in charge of the investigation, Lu Qing probably guessed how bloody the scene inside was.
The four of them walked into the room and saw the body of Bishop Raff at a glance...
"These cultists are so disgusting!" Knight Myron almost couldn't hold back after seeing the scene in front of him.
Before Bishop Raff's death, his body seemed to have undergone some drastic changes. His original limbs shrank and degenerated, turning into four tentacles with five small branches, and on those five small branches, there were
It has an eye organ that has grown to half of its size.
As for his body, except for his face, the rest of his body was contracted and twisted together, as if it was instantly squeezed together by some huge pressure.
In addition, his body may have suffered some kind of high temperature burning from the inside out, with charred black semi-coagulated flesh and blood everywhere. Just one look at this picture can make people lose their minds.
