From factories to streets to half of the city, the zombie army of heretical warlocks is getting stronger and stronger.
After the police retreated, a large number of inquisitors came from all over France, including many powerful first-level inquisitors, and even the chief heretical judge of France was dispatched.
Under the joint crackdown by the Inquisitors, first the heretic warlock was beheaded and assassinated, then the zombies were quickly purified, and finally, the Inquisitor found Mas in the office of the large factory.
I thought that Mas would repent of his evil deeds, but instead, Mas smiled and said to the presiding judge.
"I'm not interested in money."
The presiding judge finally determined that a powerful and evil demon was possessing Mas, and he hung him from a lamppost on the spot and purified him on the pyre.
Due to the incident of 'Owners of the Strange Demon Factory', the originally prosperous northern city of Horus, located south of the border, also fell into the Great Depression.
After this incident, France, which externally declared it to be a riot by heretics but kept the news secret internally, united three churches and jointly announced a law prohibiting work on the Sabbath, which won strong support from the people.
After hanging and purifying several stubbornly resisting alien demon factory owners again, France's decision of "no work on the Sabbath" was finally implemented.
Therefore, the Sabbath has also become a key link for family reunion and promotion of family relationships.
The door of the Requiem Church is closed.
On the brightly lit second floor, Constantine's family was happily sharing a sumptuous dinner.
There are several dinner plates placed on the long dining table. The food on the plates is not lacking. Toast bread, cake pudding, steamed salmon, mint salad and fried potatoes, everything seems to be a generous portion.
The sound of clinking knives and forks can be heard in the ears, the rare delicacies are tasted in the mouth, and the fragrant black tea can be drunk when thirsty. Everyone's mood is obviously high after a busy day, but they are forced by the old man at the head of the table to bring
Despite the pressure, everyone still chose to eat quietly.
Kane swallowed the chewed toast in his mouth, silently scratched a piece of cake pudding with his fork, and looked at the 'family' beside him out of the corner of his eye.
You can actually tell a lot from your dressing style.
Sister Kelly is still dressed in a simple and dignified nun's robe, but only takes off the hood and white scarf, letting her bright golden hair hang shawl. Her clothes complement her natural and beautiful face, which perfectly reflects the purity and asceticism of a nun.
Uncle Vern took off his beloved black suit, only wearing a white shirt with two buttons unbuttoned, and happily stuffed something into his mouth.
Aunt Jessica and Aunt Ramos both wore simple pleated skirts with waistbands as much as possible because of the presence of Grandpa Herrag. Their white lace underwear was slightly exposed from the cuffs, which highlighted their plump and plump bodies and made them look more attractive.
Kane's gaze couldn't help but linger for a second longer.
Sister Anna wore a simple floral skirt, used a knife and fork like a lady, and glared at herself with a 'vicious' look from time to time.
Frith, who was sitting at the back, was wearing an ordinary boy's short shirt and was drooling and eating baked potatoes with his hands. He had obviously forgotten his table manners.
It is worth mentioning that at this moment, Kane did not wear the priest's robe he wore during the day, but instead put on a tight-fitting black suit with a stand-up collar and a white shirt.
Now that Herag has seen that he is not the real Kane, there is no need to embarrass himself in these little things and dress however he likes.
Compared to the wide and bulky-looking priest's robe, he usually prefers tight-fitting suits.
Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Herage knocked on the wooden table with his knuckles, and the others hurriedly sat upright.
Facing the cold and tough old man, even the fiery Jessica had to rein in her temper and become a good bunny.
"Kane's body has also recovered a lot. This week he will follow me to learn how to become a truly qualified priest.
Fern, please stop dragging people into the church recently. You and Jessica will take Ana to stay with Ramos for a few days, and tell Taylor that the church will not be open this week and give him a few days off."
After giving a few instructions, the old man looked at Kelly again.
"Kelly, just stay in the church and don't go out these days. I'll ask Kane to bring back the vegetables you need. Kane will come back for dinner occasionally, so just cook some for him."
"I understand, Grandpa Herague, I will take good care of Kane."
After the arrangements were made, Herage stood up and walked downstairs.
"Kane, follow me."
Nodding to the family members with different expressions, Kane followed Herage and left.
When Herage and Kane left, the quiet second floor suddenly became noisy and lively.
"Jessica, why do you think the old man asked us to stay at my sister's house? Did something happen again?"
Fern put down his knife and fork and stared at Jessica's face full of suspicion.
Jessica sighed and said calmly.
"Can't you see? Every time there is unrest, the old man will let us live in Celephas. Don't forget that Ramos's sister's home is only two streets away from the Church of the Night Goddess, which is closer than the police station.
Too much."
"Then wouldn't it be dangerous for Sister Kelly to be alone in the church?"
Ana glanced anxiously at Kelly, who was eating cakes with her head lowered, pulled Ramos' arm and begged.
"Mom, take sister Kelly away too! Please!"
Hearing Anna say this, Fern's eyes suddenly widened, he hugged Jessica's arm tightly, and made a whining sound with his mouth full of baked potatoes, obviously also saying good things for Kelly.
Both the naughty Anna and Fries liked this sister who was adopted by her grandfather from the bottom of their hearts, and naturally they didn't want to put Kelly in danger.
Caressing his daughter's head, Ramos said seriously.
"Grandpa must have his own ideas for doing this. Your Grandpa Herrag is actually very powerful. There are some things that I can't tell you more when you are still young. You will understand when you grow up. The Constantine family
, has never been an ordinary family, not to mention, isn’t there Kane here?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Hmph! Brother Kane can't even take care of himself, how can we expect him to protect Sister Kelly?"
"No, Kane just...he just..."
Kelly, who felt a little disappointed, quickly tried to defend Kane after hearing what Anna said.
"He can take care of himself, but I can't help him..."
"Forget it, Sister Kelly, Brother Kane can't be relied upon, you'd better go live with me in Celephais!"
"Stop playing nonsense, Anna, and be obedient. Grandpa will protect your sister Kelly..."
"Stop arguing. Don't disobey Mr. Herage's orders. Just do as he asks!"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Jessica slapped the table and ended the meaningless argument.
Everyone dispersed in low spirits, and the lights of the Requiem Church gradually went out.
On the other side, Kane came outside the flower garden again.
Under the dark starry sky, the waning moon hung high, gently spreading bright silver moonlight to the earth.
The flower bed during the day is completely different from the flower bed at night. There are many plant flowers that have not been seen during the day or have not bloomed quietly blooming at night.
In addition to the ferocious stone pillar sculptures on both sides of the road, strange-shaped thorn vines and pitcher plants with large pocket-like mouths were everywhere. Kane even saw a few clusters of strange blue light spots flashing with the tops like umbrellas.
It's a strange-shaped plant that looks like a tree. You can tell at a glance that this thing is something special.
A corner of the extraordinary world was revealed in front of him. Like the identity of Judge Herage, the secret of the Constantine family seemed not simple.
In Kane's view, if the sea of flowers during the day is as beautiful as a paradise in a dream, then the flowerbed at night becomes a cemetery filled with windy winds and murderous intent.
The flower garden was much scarier than the real cemetery where the resting ceremony was held that morning.
Not to mention anything else, just the umbrella plant that 'spits' faint blue light spots gives me a fatal sense of threat.
"The rare plants here are all transplanted by me from other places. They are hidden under the sea of ordinary flowers. These plants are the real invisible wealth of the flower garden...
Follow my footsteps and don't go wrong. There is a killing mechanism on the ground. The patterns on the stone slab will change randomly after six o'clock every night. The order of stepping must be strictly in accordance with the order of starry sky, day and night and moon."
Following Herrag, who was leading the way, Kane felt a lot more relaxed after letting go of the burden of pretending.
In his opinion, even if it was not Kane's identity but his past life experience, the mysterious old man in front of him who chose to let him go was enough for him to call him "Grandpa".
Therefore, the call he made to Grandpa from the bottom of his heart was extremely sincere, without even the slightest hint of hypocrisy.
"Grandpa, what on earth is this place?"
"This is the inheritance of the Constantine family. The heads of the Constantine family in the past generations have become qualified priests here. They can even become controllers of truth here after passing the path of truth."
Without further explanation, when he reached the third fork in the road, Herage walked to the far right.
Press the left eye of the bat stone sculpture on the right hand side, and there will be a "click" sound. The moment the bat's left eye sinks, a stone slab of about two square meters on the right side slowly opens.
"Grandpa, do you have to press your right eye to close the secret passage? Or are there other ways?"
Glancing at the strange demon behind him, Herage said calmly.
"I'll tell you later, come with me now."
The cold gray spiral stone steps extended toward the dark bottom. After both of them entered the secret passage, the stone trap closed again. Kane did not notice when Herrag activated the trap.
In the pitch darkness, I thought there would be some kind of lighting device in the secret passage, but I saw that Herage had taken out a flashlight from the priest's robe at some point.
snap,
The flashlight was turned on and illuminated Herage's chin. The old man's half-yin and half-yang expression looked a little gloomy.
"This thing is very important for a priest, remember to prepare one yourself."
"……good."
In the darkness, only the faint light from the flashlight can illuminate the way forward.
With the peripheral light of the flashlight, he observed the darkness that seemed to be a bottomless abyss at the far wall under his feet. According to the echo from his footsteps, Kane had no doubt that he would turn into a puddle of Kane if he fell. He couldn't help but start to miss it.
The fence was installed in the corridor in my previous life.
"Grandpa, what if the flashlight breaks here?"
I thought that the old man would not answer my question, but I heard the old man suddenly stopped.
He turned around and looked seriously at himself.
"If the flashlight breaks, bring out another one."
"..." Kane.
When they arrived at the negative level, the stone steps were still extending downward, but Herage no longer continued to go down the stone steps, but turned into a horizontal secret passage.
"The end of this floor is the Chamber of Truth, the rooms on both sides are warehouses for storing materials, the second underground floor is the training ground, and the third underground floor is the heresy dungeon.
You don’t have to think about the third level, you don’t have the key, the underground is full of traps, don’t even think about trying to release your kind.”
"..." Kane.
Walking straight to the end, the gray carved stone door is thick and full of mystery.
There are two stone statues with human faces standing on both sides of the stone gate. The male statue on the left is holding a short staff in his right hand and holding a thick scripture in his left hand, as if he is reciting scriptures. His expression is serious and solemn, dressed like a priest.
The stone statue on the right is a graceful woman wrapped in gauze. Her face is covered by a scarf and cannot be seen, but the woman's hot and concave body is exposed under the gauze. It has a very seductive atmosphere and exquisite sculpture.
Indescribable.
It is worth mentioning that Kane noticed that the woman was holding two snake-shaped daggers.
"These two sculptures..."
"You don't need to know this right now."
Taking off the stone ring on the index finger of his right hand, Herage inserted the ring into the hole in the center of the stone door and turned it gently.
As rumbles came from the ground, the thick stone door slid open to the right.
He stepped into the stone room first and used a lighter to light the oil tank near the door. A line of fire quickly passed along the oil tank in the wall, igniting all the skull-style oil lamps in the stone room.
The dark stone room suddenly became as bright as day.
Turning off the flashlight, Herage's voice was still as cold and hard as ever.
"Come in, this is the most important secret place of the Constantine family. Even my son Fern and daughter Ramos don't know that the family has such a place."
After two steps into the stone chamber, Kane opened his mouth and was surprised by the spectacular scenery in front of him.
The hexagonal stone chamber occupies an area that is not small at all. It presents a Western European Gothic dark style, with gray and black stone pillars standing in it.
On the left is a sealed mahogany bookshelf more than three meters high and five meters wide.
The outward side of the bookshelf is covered with lavender glazed material, which perfectly isolates the air.
There may not seem to be many things on the bookshelf, but these leather scrolls or ancient books give Kane a sense of historical heaviness and a vague sense of threat.
Directly in front is a long, stepped stone table with a variety of weird skulls placed on it, as if it were some kind of trophy display stand.
Looking to the right, a large piece of dark purple crystal that is as smooth as a mirror is set in a dark gold metal frame and is safely protected by a transparent glass door. Under the reflection of the oil lamp flame, a mysterious purple streamer is reflected in the stone room.
