It has been three days since I arrived in Frank City. In the past three days, Lilith, who is in the church, has sent Lin Zheng and the others a lot of news from the outside world. Her identity as a priest has brought a lot of convenience to Lilith.
Nowadays, Lilith's status in the church is quite high. Her strength is one of the reasons, but strength alone is not enough. After all, the church has a profound foundation. Even though it lost a lot of manpower back then, it still has a lot of people left today.
There are not many strong people at rank nine, but there are quite a few at rank eight. Lilith's strength at rank seven is not that powerful.
What really made Lilith quickly become a star in the church was that Jibril, also known as Gabriel, was able to control the power of faith that the church gathered and belonged to Gabriel. Under Gabriel's huge faith
With the blessing of power, Lilith in the church is almost equivalent to the arrival of Gabriel in this world. During the church's regular weekly services, Lilith spread her blessings all over Roland City alone. From then on,
Lilith's identity suddenly changed and she became the descendant of the church - the agent of Archangel Jibril who descended into the world. She was worshiped devoutly by thousands of believers in Roland City, and it is said that many of them came from other cities.
The worshipers made Lilith's head as big as a bucket.
However, although the worship of believers did make Lilith's head a bit bigger, after becoming an Adventer, Lilith was able to mobilize many more resources in the church, allowing Lilith to obtain a lot of information. The situation in the Valley of Darkness
Needless to say, since the Hunter Guild changed the century-old mission to a free mission, not only Frank City, but also other cities and even other kingdoms have hunters rushing to the Dark Valley. Nowadays, the Dark Valley is very lively, and there are even many people.
The merchants smelled the smell of wealth and rushed outside the Dark Valley with a large amount of goods to sell. It was said that the business was very prosperous. However, surprisingly, the upper management of the Hunter Guild did not take any action.
Lilith told Lin Zheng that Roland was indeed in the Hunters Guild now and was the president of the Hunters Guild in Roland City, but few people knew his true identity. Of course, this information was recorded in the church's confidential files. According to
The church's intelligence officers were investigating. Roland seemed to be investigating something at this time. The situation in the Valley of Darkness did not distract Roland from going there. It might be a critical moment, so he had no time to care. As for what he was investigating, the church
There is no way to know, Roland's confidentiality work is very strict.
Roland did not go to the Valley of Darkness, which quite surprised Lin Zheng. But what makes Lin Zheng even more curious now is, what exactly is Roland investigating? Is there anything more important than the dragon veins of the French Empire?
"Are you investigating Zoma?" Xiao Mo asked in a low voice, "Roland may not know Zoma, but he definitely knows his existence. If there are clues about Zoma as the culprit, it will definitely take priority over the dragon vein.
Much higher level!"
"It's very possible." Lin Zheng nodded slightly, "Lilith also said that the whereabouts of other paladins are unknown. Although there are occasional reports of their appearance, they are missing most of the time. As for what they were doing when they disappeared
, no one knows, and now it seems that they are likely to be looking for clues about Zoma all over the world."
"It would be great if they could find Zoma!" Yang Qi said with a hopeful look. In this case, once they gain Roland's trust, they can quickly solve Zoma.
"It's probably not easy, after all, it's been more than a hundred years!" Liuli said with some emotion, and then looked at Lin Zheng, "Did Lilith get any information about Zoma and the concubine from the church?"
"Zoma's words are completely false!" Lin Zheng said regretfully. "Although they pursued it for a while, the church gave up because they could not get any valuable information for a long time. After all, the church is not Roland and the others and has no interest in Zoma.
Such deep hatred.”
It is indeed a regrettable fact, but "Zoma is the only one who has no information at all, does that mean there is information about the concubine?"
"It can only be said to be questionable information! According to the intelligence records in the church, in the Far East, there is a kingdom where the church cannot spread its faith, called Akijin. The head of state of Akijin is the queen named Jindai, the object of Lilith's suspicion
, it is this queen. Firstly, this queen came to the throne just after the split of the French Empire. Secondly, this queen of the gods is quite mysterious. Her origins and relatives are unknown. Moreover, she has not been the queen for more than a hundred years since she ascended the throne.
People know what she looks like, but she has been showing her face to others with a mask for so many years."
"Eh?!" Everyone around him was surprised when he heard this, and then Yang Qi couldn't help but ask: "Even her man doesn't know?"
"The problem is that this queen has never been married, let alone married. There is not even a man in the palace."
After hearing this, Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh: "What a strange queen!"
"But in this case, this queen is indeed questionable!" Xiao Mo frowned and said, "A woman who dares to scheme against Charlemagne must have certain skills. It shouldn't be a problem to control a kingdom."
"Guessing here is not an option!" Liuli's idea was very simple. "We successfully summoned Charlemagne later. Let's go to Qiujin Country to see if it is the concubine. Let Charlemagne see if it is the concubine."
, Charlemagne won’t even admit that his former wife was wrong, right?”
Lin Zheng nodded, then changed the topic and said: "But now, we have to solve the problem at hand first."
"How far is it from that alien space?"
"Very close!" As he said this, Lin Zheng looked at Di Lisi, "Di Lisi, have you noticed anything?"
Di Li Sizheng and Xiao Meng were squatting on the side of the road, not knowing what they were doing. Lin Zheng called out several times before the stupid fish reacted, and then said casually: "There is nothing going on. Apart from those evil spirits and monsters, there is nothing nearby."
Something fishy."
Aren't evil spirits and monsters suspicious? Richard and Arnold broke into sweat after hearing this. This place is very close to what the church has marked as the most dangerous area in Frank City. The evil spirits and monsters there are far from it.
No other place can compare!
Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but want to remind Lin Zheng and the others, but before they could speak, Lin Zheng had already walked up to Xiaomeng and Di Lisi, knocked Di Lisi's head angrily and said: "
What have you two little idiots been doing squatting here since just now?!"
"Brother Shengun, look!" Xiaomeng lowered his voice and pointed at the ground like a treasure, "Mao Mao!"
Lin Zheng was about to wonder where the hell this cat came from, but when he looked at the ground pointed by Xiao Meng, he couldn't help but exclaimed, the uncle's is really a meow!
Hearing Lin Zheng's exclamation, other people gathered around curiously. Xilu quickly got out from under Lin Zheng's arm. When she looked at the ground, she saw a strange plant growing on the ground, but she saw this
The plant grew like a dandelion, all black, but instead of pompom seeds, it grew a comfortable black cat head. Seeing such a strange plant for the first time, Xilu couldn't help but exclaimed,
This is so interesting.
Just when everyone was looking at the plant curiously, suddenly, the cat's head moved! Amidst Xiaomeng's excited cry, the black cat's head opened its eyes and yawned lazily. Now
Even Bai Bai, who was lying on Xiaomeng's head, was curious. He opened his mouth tentatively and said "meow——".
Hearing Bai Bai's cry, the cat-headed Dandelion looked up and said, "Oh——! Hello, cute little guy!" The old voice suddenly sounded, making everyone's eyes widen. This meow
What is it? It can still speak?!
There was a look of surprise in Bai Bai's eyes, he opened his mouth and said "meow" again, and asked Cat-headed Dandelion where he came from. After hearing this, Cat-headed Dandelion began to ponder, "If you want to ask me what I am, this is more troublesome.
, Old man, I have lived for so long that I have forgotten what I am!" Suddenly he thought of something and said with great interest: "Oh, by the way! I have forgotten what I am anyway, so just call me Elvis King.
Got it!"
Cat...Elvis?! Looking at this lazy cat head, Lin Zheng and others didn't know where to complain about him, but forget it, it's just a title anyway. At this time, Xiaomeng had already said something strange
Touching Elvis, Elvis narrowed his eyes and said: "Little girl, although my name is Elvis, don't think of me as a cat!"
"Eh? Isn't it?"
"of course not!"
After listening, Xiaomeng took out his magic weapon, the dog's tail grass! As soon as he took out this thing, Baibai's eyes suddenly lit up. He lay on Xiaomeng's head and stretched out his little paws, constantly trying to hook it.
But it is one of her favorite toys.
Elvis glanced at the dog's tail grass and said: "I'm not a cat, it's useless." However, what made people laugh was that as Xiaomeng shook the dog's tail grass, Elvis's eyes immediately followed him intently.
Turning around, when Xiaomeng flicked the dog's tail grass down, with a "meow" sound, two leaves hugged the dog's tail grass.
Elvis, who was full of joy, was about to bite the dog's tail grass, but he immediately came back to his senses. After meeting Xiao Meng's smiling face, he let go with a "swish--" and then said seriously: "Old man
I just don’t like this thing dangling in front of my face.”
So it turns out that it is still a cat! But I have never heard of this breed of cat. At this time, the embarrassed Elvis changed the subject and said: "If we don't talk about it anymore, what are you doing here?
This is not a nice place."
"It doesn't matter, we can still deal with the problems here." Lin Zheng answered in a small step first. After hearing his words, Elvis Presley turned his attention to him. After staring at him for a long time, he said: "
Maybe! However, it’s best not to move forward any further. The place ahead is a bit weird, and no matter how strong you are, you may stumble there.”
Hearing Elvis Presley's words, Richard had waited for the opportunity and said quickly: "Yes, Mr. Yiping, not far ahead is the big hole leading to another world. That place is within the restricted area marked by the church, but
The most dangerous thing is that when we sent a large number of experts from the church to investigate together, they were almost left there, but in the end they couldn't get through the big hole."
"It does sound dangerous!" Lin Zheng said with a raised brow, but before Richard and Arnold could breathe a sigh of relief, he smiled and said: "Then let's go and have a look!"
"What?!" Richard Arnold was shocked, "Didn't you say it's dangerous yourself?"
"For a hunter, danger is only what you have witnessed or experienced with your own eyes. If you are hesitant to move forward just because of hearsay, then you might as well not be a hunter at all!" The conversation changed and he looked at the anxious two people and said: "
Of course, daring to take risks does not mean ignoring risks. You have to see the real situation with your own eyes to know. If it is impossible to do anything, you will naturally need to retreat immediately!"
After hearing this, the two hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly. Firstly, they were relatively confident in the strength of Lin Zheng and others. Secondly, the church identified the most dangerous people in Frank City.
Where is the restricted area? To be honest, everyone who has never seen it is a little curious. When we are stationed in the garrison, we usually have nothing to do. The most common thing we talk about is the stories of each restricted area. Now there is a master leading them to see the world. The two of them are more or less interested.
My heart is moving.
Compared to the two of them who were reserved, Shaqi was much more straightforward. As soon as they nodded, they said with anticipation: "Great! I finally have the opportunity to see the Big Hollow!"
Ah Zhong just smiled when she heard that. After a few days, she still liked Sha Qi, an innocent and a little slow girl. So she patted her on the shoulder and said: "When you get there, you three remember not to
Get away from me."
"Okay Sister Huang!"
Unlike Shaqi who was happy, Elvis shook his head after hearing this, "Since you insist on going there, I have nothing more to say. Anyway, I wish you good luck!" After saying that, Elvis yawned,
Smash said: "Then that's it. Old man, I've been staying here for hundreds of years. It's time for me to change my place. See you again by chance!" As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone could react, Elvis disappeared.
A small hole was left in the ground.
"Eh!?" Xiaomeng yelled in disappointment, "Why did you leave so soon!?" It was the first time to see such an interesting cat, and she wasn't curious enough!
Seeing the disappointment on her face, Lin Zheng reached out and touched her head and said with a smile: "Didn't he say goodbye to us by fate? I will definitely meet him again in the future!"
"So, who is Elvis?" Yang Qi said with confusion, "An animal? Or a plant?"
"Fauna and flora!"
Hearing Xilu's words, everyone was a little dumbfounded. It was the first time they heard about animals and plants! However, when it was placed on Elvis Presley, it was unexpectedly quite appropriate!
The appearance of Elvis Presley is just a small episode on the journey. Now that there are no cats to see, it is time to return to the right path. Ahead is the most dangerous hole identified by the church. No matter how big the heart is, Lin Zheng will not get here.
Don't dare to be careless, the relaxed expression before was just a show-off for Richard and the others.
The closer to the big hole, the higher the frequency of evil spirits and monsters. Through observation with the Analytical Eye, Lin Zheng discovered that this area is filled with a special aura. Analysis with the Analytical Eye showed that this aura is not effective against evil spirits and monsters.
There are no benefits, but it can give them a sense of excitement and satisfaction, and if they absorb too much, they will become addicted.
"It's a kind of flower pollen!" Lin Zheng explained, "But don't worry, this stuff will only become addictive if you inhale it for a long time."
"Since it's pollen, does it mean there are flowers?" Di Lisi muttered for a while, "You won't come out like Sister Baoshu, right?" I didn't think there was anything to fear from plant-based enemies before.
Yes, after encountering the Six-Flower Treasure Tree, you have learned a lot. It turns out that when a plant-type opponent gets angry, it is really fatal!
Hearing this, Xuan Ming rubbed Di Lisi's head in a funny way, "You don't even think about what kind of strength Baoshu is. How can there be existences of that kind of strength all over the world!"
It seems so! When Di Lisi suddenly realized, Shaqi couldn't help but asked curiously: "Sister Huang, who is Baoshu? Is he very powerful?"
"It's very powerful!" Ah Zhong said with a smile, "She is a very powerful treasure tree. All of us put together are no match for her!"
Shaqi exclaimed, and Richard and Arnold also looked shocked. In their opinion, people like Lin Zheng were already strong enough, but in the end, such a powerful group of people couldn't even hit a tree?! Is this really true in the world?
Is there such a powerful treasure tree?!
Glancing at the surprised three people, Lin Zheng had a smile on his face. Without explaining anything, he turned around and said: "Let's go! The big hole is in front, be careful, it's just an appetizer."
, the real drama comes next!”
Not long after, the dark city of France gradually became brighter. The orange-red fire light dissipated the coldness caused by the death and resentment. Although the surroundings were still filled with strong death and resentment, the temperature was gradually rising.
"Boom——!" With a sound, a huge monster was thrown away by Yang Qi, knocking the buildings along the way into ruins. When the buildings in front of them collapsed, the fire in the field of vision suddenly became a little brighter.
"We're here!" Yang Qi shouted in surprise.
Looking up, I saw a huge pit collapsed on the ground in front of me. Fiery light was spitting out from the pit, and from time to time there were even flames shooting out from it. Just looking at it made people feel hot and panicked.
Thinking of getting inside later, I felt disgusted.
At this time, the monster that was thrown away by Yang Qi quickly got up, shook its head, and immediately roared loudly at everyone. I thought it was just roaring and demonstrating to everyone, but in the end, it quickly shriveled up under the witness of everyone.
It fell down, and in the blink of an eye, only the skin and bones of the huge monster were left, and it collapsed to the ground in front of the astonished eyes of pairs of people.
"I'm going to—!" Yang Qi exclaimed after coming back to his senses, "What's going on? I'm going to die right now?!"
As soon as Yang Qi finished speaking, Lin Zheng was about to move forward. Seeing this, Feite quickly pulled him back, "Sir!"
"We have to figure out what the situation is." Lin Zheng smiled at Feite, "I can only do this."
There was still a worried look on Feite's brows, but he slowly let go of Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng was right. He must figure out what happened, otherwise he wouldn't know why he was attacked later. People with analytical eyes
Lin Zheng is the best investigator, and with Lin Zheng's adaptability, even if something happens, it will be easier to escape alone.
"Be careful!" Xuan Ming stepped forward and warned, "If you find anything wrong, get back quickly!"
"Yes!" Lin Zheng nodded, then looked at everyone with nervous expressions on their faces, and said with a confident smile: "Just wait, I'll be back soon." After saying that, under the watch of everyone, he nodded.
He walked towards the monster's corpse without looking back.
