After cleaning up the final mess, Chu Nan and Huo Wu Jiutian handed over the few surviving ships that had returned to them in Peak Return, but there were only four ships in total. The mission would definitely not be completed anyway, and these ships
The meaning is not very big.
After returning to Eastwatch, Chu Nan felt a little unsure. Because this mission, which he had placed high hopes on, failed again and again, Chu Nan basically gave up hope that Claude would give him and Huo Wu any more help.
One chance in nine days.
Sure enough, when Chu Nan walked into the dock for the first time, a system prompt came. He and Huo Wu Jiutian looked at each other with a wry smile, and could only quickly go to the Adventure Guild.
After arriving at the Adventure Guild, Chu Nan was shocked to find that this time it was Claude who came in person. The panic in his heart became even worse. If the other quest line he finally established was forced to be cut off because of this quest
, it's such a loss. But there is another possibility, that is, the continuous destruction of tasks has attracted Claude's attention, which may trigger another task. Naturally, Chu Nan vaguely hopes that it will be the latter.
Not long after entering, Claude spoke: "I already know that your mission handover failed again. This time the situation was very serious, and it even attracted the attention of the king, because even the troops stationed there were all killed.
I am very disappointed with your ability to do things. If you cannot give me a satisfactory explanation, I will choose someone else."
"It's over, it's over..." Chu Nan cried out sadly in his heart. The ending was indeed the former. The high-level quest line that he finally got through could only reach this point and was forced to interrupt.
Just when Chu Nan felt that the future was not bright, Huo Wu Jiutian whispered beside him: "He wants us to give a reasonable explanation, which means that things have turned around. You can use the money you got from Peak Return to
Try the statue."
Chu Nan's thoughts suddenly brightened up, and he glanced at Huo Wu Jiutian with approval. This was indeed a good idea. The statue of Sauron would definitely attract Claude's attention. At this point, he could only live and die.
Horse doctor, take it out and try it.
Chu Nan quickly took out the Sauron statue from his backpack, placed it in front of Claude, and said: "Although we suffered heavy losses during this mission handover, fortunately we also gained something. This is because we worked hard.
We lost most of the people and ships before we snatched it from one of them. We have reason to believe that these people who obstructed and sabotaged it are related to Sauron."
Sure enough, the moment Chu Nan moved Sauron's statue out, Claude's expression changed. He quickly got closer and looked at the statue in front of him carefully. After inspecting it for a long time, he finally said with a heavy face: "
Is what you said absolutely true?"
Chu Nan nodded.
Claude paced back and forth for a while and said: "If this matter is really related to the forces secretly loyal to the evil god Sauron, I'm afraid the situation has become very serious. According to the time and place of the two ship handovers,
It can be guessed from the early leaks that there is a thief among our people. It may be the adventure union, or it may be the army, because it is the army who is responsible for accepting matters. I can do it if I belong to my side.
Check, but this possibility is not high, because during the second mission, I deliberately only let a few people I trust know about it, so the traitor is likely to be in the army. In that case, I would not
We can intervene in the investigation. But since the incident has involved the forces loyal to Sauron, we have to turn to the Holy Church for help." Then Claude quickly turned around, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a paragraph of text as fast as lightning.
, and stuffed it into an envelope, and said: "This is my letter of recommendation. You two should go back to the Church of Light in Glory City immediately to find the archbishop. He will tell you what to do."
Chu Nan accepted Claude's recommendation letter, and the latter said: "Go quickly."
Then Chu Nan and Huo Wu Jiutian left the Adventure Guild together.
"Thank you for your wit, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of using that statue in this place." After coming out, Chu Nan let out a long breath. Not only was the quest line not interrupted, but it was also transferred to the Holy Church.
, although Chu Nan has never understood the Holy Church, but he heard it from Caroline, because the self-healing stone he rewarded came from the Holy Church. And from the feeling
Look, if the quest line is moved to the Holy Church, the rewards may be better, at least much stronger than Claude. The rewards for the latter are actually empty things like glory points and adventurer levels, which makes Chu Nan very unhappy.
.
"It's just a fluke. By the way, how much do you know about the Holy Church?" Huo Wu Jiutian asked.
"Uh... I thought you would know?" Chu Nan shrugged helplessly.
"The Holy Church usually does not allow players to enter. Like the Royal City, it is one of the restricted areas for players."
"Then let's go and see it."
The Holy Church, like the Royal City, is also built within a high wall. There are guards guarding the main entrance to prevent players from entering. However, when Chu Nan took out Claude's letter of recommendation, he was immediately let in.
The scale of the internal buildings of the Holy Church cannot be compared with that of the Royal City. There is only one white main building, but it is very solemn and gorgeous. The interior is a rotunda similar to an ancient temple. In the center of the rotunda is a huge white
The crystal ball is surrounded by long white crystal strips that gradually radiate outward.
Archbishop Hutton is sitting on the white stone seat on the steps at the end of the rotunda. He is as tall as a mountain and sits there, almost forming a triangle. In fact, if Chu Nan didn't look carefully, he would mistakenly think that it was just a triangle.
A large mound covered in gorgeous clothing.
Chu Nan respectfully handed Claude's letter of recommendation to a clergyman, who then handed it over to the archbishop above.
Archbishop Hutton stretched out his almost fat, round, oily hand, slowly opened the envelope, then scanned the contents in his heart, and nodded slightly. In fact, Chu Nan didn't know that his fat hand was almost too fat.
How does the head nod, even the neck can no longer be seen.
Archbishop Hutton let out a long sigh and said: "The believers of darkness and evil are trying to invade this land again, but the holy fire of light will never be extinguished. Young warriors, you have the strength and strength to fight against the evil forces.
Faith?”
"Yes!" Chu Nan and Huo Wu Jiutian said in unison.
The archbishop smiled: "Then let me test you first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the white crystal in the middle of the rotunda suddenly lit up, and a golden halo appeared.
